Chapter 272: Enemy on the Belly and Back

"Lord, look over there!" Although Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu tried their best to drag Cao Cao, the five dock forts in front of Cao Cao were still breached, and the three of them had no choice but to lead the cavalry to continue to mediate with Cao Cao, thinking that Chen Mo would get more time to adjust the troops and horses, Cao Cao's side, Cheng Yu suddenly looked into the distance, he and Cao Cao were standing on the low hill at the moment, in order to facilitate the command of the army, and to see the overall situation and see further.

Hearing this, Cao Cao turned his head and looked in the direction that Cheng Yu pointed to, and saw dozens of soldiers and horses gathering in front, each of these dozens of troops is not too many, looking at the scale, the most are only a thousand, and the few are only one hundred and ten, which was not too conspicuous originally, but now these horses quickly gathered together and formed a formation, and the formation of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was quickly formed.

The most important thing is that it is still coming in a steady stream.

"The Chinese army in this pass is indeed well-trained." When Cao Cao saw this scene, he couldn't help but praise that he had completed the assembly so quickly, and this scene alone was enough to see the effect of the Guanzhong Army's training on weekdays.

Cheng Yu nodded, no matter what people in the world say about Chen Mo, but the elite of the Chinese army in this pass is almost recognized.

"Pass on my military order, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong attacked, and before he was fully assembled, he broke this army first!" Cao Cao wasn't prepared to wait for Chen Mo to gather all his troops before fighting, this battlefield was not a place to talk about etiquette.

With Cao Cao's order issued, the command flag in the army waved, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong quickly led the army to kill after receiving the military order, and the three groups of men and horses surged towards the newly assembled soldiers and horses in a zigzag shape.

Xu Huang sat on the back of the horse, looking at this scene indifferently, seeing that the three groups of men and horses were attacking this side, and he had no intention of retreating, and his men and horses themselves were attracted to Cao Jun to attack.

With a wave of the command flag, he shouted: "Array!" ”

Tens of thousands of troops quickly formed a circle array, one shield after another formed a shield array, spearmen lined up in the climate, spears poked out from the shields, archers lined up in the center of the array, and arrows were ready to be fired.

Xu Huang sat on horseback, looked at the direction where the enemy army was coming, and suddenly pointed the Lingqi at Cao Ren's department: "Sixty steps to the southeast, put!" ”

Rows of arrows rose into the air, the hum of tearing the air echoed between heaven and earth, and after passing the highest point, the arrow clusters fell towards Cao Ren's department.

"Shield!" Cao Ren shouted loudly and raised the shield in his hand.

"Knock knock~"

A dense rain of arrows fell, and many of them fell along the gaps between the shields, causing casualties.

"Shoot the arrows!" On the other side, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong also ordered to release arrows when they saw this, and after Cao Ren avoided the rain of arrows, he saw that the other two sides began to suppress with the rain of arrows, and quickly commanded the troops to rush up.

A continuous rain of arrows fell towards Xu Huang, and casualties also began to appear.

Cao Ren's troops rushed to the front, and the two armies came into contact, and the shield bearers rushed forward with their shields on their backs, and many of them were stabbed and wounded by the spears that pierced out.

Xu Huang looked at this scene calmly, holding a shield in one hand and pointing in the direction of Cao Ren with the other and shouting: "Twenty steps to the southeast, let's go!" ”

This is already a very close distance, in the case of projectile, this strength is difficult to grasp, and most of the arrows of the Guanzhong army fell on Cao Ren's rear.

The battle gradually became fierce, and Cao Ren saw that the opponent's shield array was strong, so he ordered someone to use a hammer to hit the shield array, hoping to hit a gap.

"Throwing axe!" In the crowd, one of the generals shouted, and more than a dozen shieldmen took their short axes from their waists and threw them out of the formation.

This is the special equipment of the shield hands under Xu Huang, in addition to the shield, they are equipped with three short axes, which can be held in their hands to fight with the enemy in wartime, or they can be thrown directly as a long-range attack.

"Array Breaker!" Cao Ren saw that the ram was broken by the flying axe, and immediately changed the formation, but saw that the Cao army split the formation, and the two war horses rushed towards the shield formation under the control of the knight, and the knight immediately led the iron rope, pulling a huge mace in the middle.

When he was about to reach the military formation, the knight stopped his horse, but the huge mace smashed into the shield array under the action of inertia.

"Bang~"

With a loud bang, several shieldmen were knocked out by maces, and the spearmen behind them fell to the ground.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Without waiting for the two knights to push away, they saw a group of crossbowmen rushing out from behind the broken shield array, and a crossbow arrow was shot at the outside of the formation, and the two knights who had not yet left were immediately shot into hedgehogs.

"Kill!" Cao Ren ignored this, and seeing that the shield array was broken, the shield men in the front row immediately rushed forward with their shields, wanting to break Xu Huang's circle array in one go.

The crossbowmen on Xu Huang's side immediately retreated after shooting a round of arrows, and a row of crossbowmen rushed to shoot arrows at the opponent in the rear, and Cao soldiers continued to fall, and Cao soldiers continued to rush up to seal the gap.

The rain of arrows from both sides continued to shoot towards each other's formations, and at the same time, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong also led troops to attack from the flanks, making it impossible for Xu Huang to fight Cao Ren with all his strength.

The three phalanxes soon formed an encirclement of Xu Huang.

"Change formation!" Seeing that the front line was a little undefensible, Xu Huang changed the formation in time, the shield soldiers retreated, the spearmen were in front, and the spears converged into a dense jungle of death, and at the same time, the retreating shield men also strengthened the defense of the archers in the rear, and the arrow clusters became more dense, Xu Huang's eyes flashed a touch of ruthlessness, and he had to knock out one before he could turn the situation around.

But the Cao army is also elite, and now it is three times the enemy to fight, and the commander of the war is not weak Xu Huang, with one enemy and three, even if Xu Huang is good at defending, under the siege of the three parties, there is gradually no support.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao watched the change of Xu Huang's formation on the low hill, although he faintly revealed the defeat image, but under the joint efforts of the three major generals Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong, he could support it for so long, and Cao Cao had to praise the other party's ability.

"Look at the banner, it should be Xu Huang, the general under Chen Mo." On Cao Cao's side, Guo Jia carefully watched the changes in the formation and morale of the two sides, and replied.

"Under Bo Dao, there are many good generals!" Cao Cao sighed, envious of the fact that there were so many fierce generals around Chen Mo, and pointed at Xu Huang's army and said, "Break it quickly!" ”

Farther away, there was already a continuous sound of drums and trumpets, and Chen Mo's other departments had obviously begun to assemble, with the speed at which Chen Mo's army was gathering, I am afraid that there would not be much time for them to entangle with Xu Huang here.

Guo Jia nodded, the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army is not surprising, but the resilience of the other party is amazing, with a few outnumbered people, and until now, it is still fighting to the death, I am afraid that the Cao Army has very few troops who can do this.

"Lord, look over there!" Cao Cao's side, in the southwest direction of Xu Chuzhixiang, saw a Guanzhong army appear, they did not go to save Xu Huang, but rushed directly towards the main force of the Cao army, not only that, but in the other two directions, there was also a large army of the Guanzhong army, attacking and killing the rear of the Cao army.

Cao Cao frowned when he saw this, and immediately ordered Le Jin and Li Dian to lead his troops to meet and block the two roads, and at the same time, the Chinese army also divided a group of men and horses to meet the enemy.

The three groups soon collided and fought each other.

This person is full of 10,000, that is, there is no shore, and at this moment the two sides have put into the battlefield 100,000 troops, as far as the eye can see, everywhere the eye goes, all the crazy fighting is gradually pulling apart in the wilderness, between each other, the canines and teeth are intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.

The cavalry of Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu has also been killed again, constantly running around the battlefield, as long as they see that Cao's army is in chaos, they will immediately go up to fight for a while and wipe out the opponent.

The smell of blood permeated the battlefield, the formations of the soldiers on both sides began to become chaotic, the battle line was constantly expanding, and the Cao army had the advantage in numbers and had some upper hand, the Guanzhong army was indeed extremely brave, and the sound of the two sides fighting became more and more intense.

Another army of soldiers and horses joined the battle group, but this time, it was to support Xu Huang and directly attack Xiahou Yuan's department.

The battlefield continues to expand with the increase of soldiers and horses on both sides, standing on the low hill on Cao Cao's side, it is already difficult to overlook the entire battlefield, although the strength of the army may not be as much as the one that Chen Mo and Yuan Shao fought in Muye, but the scope of the two sides is not concentrated, whether Cao Cao or Chen Mo, they are interested in expanding the battlefield to make the other party show their flaws, but the scale of the battlefield is large, and its own control of the battle situation will also weaken, at this time, it is not only the level of the commanders of the two sides that is tested, It is also necessary to test the ability of the generals on both sides to respond to the enemy on the battlefield.

"I don't know if it's good or bad!" Chen Mo stood on a high platform, holding a pergola with his hands, trying to look at the battlefield farther away, at this distance, the battle situation at the very edge has become less clear in the line of sight, and it is even impossible to see, this distance, even if there is an explicit order, for a while, I am afraid it will be difficult to pass it in time, so when Chen Mo commands here, he puts Xu Huang and Gao Shun, generals with strong combat ability and command ability, on the edge, and Chen Mo is responsible for commanding several other armies to fight Cao Cao.

But looking at such a large-scale battlefield now, Chen Mo waved the command flag, and then filled the assembled soldiers and horses, forming an encirclement of the Cao army here.

"Inform Xu Huang that you can retreat!" Chen Mo looked at the formation here, Xu Huang's side in the distance had been supported for a long time, Chen Mo didn't want Xu Huang's team to be disabled, and they could be temporarily replaced.

"Whoa!" The herald quickly departed and went to give the order.

"Lord!" When Chen Mo was presiding over the dispatch of troops and horses, he saw a general galloping over, but it was the scout commander who was in charge of exploring the surrounding area of the battlefield galloping over, and saluted Lu Bu and said, "Fifteen miles north of the city, a large number of Yuan troops appeared. ”

"Yuan Shang?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this, Yuan Shang transferred the summons and blocked Tai Shici, which was equivalent to completely opening up the portal of Liaodong, and it was also bold, but at this time, Yuan Shang led troops to kill, which was indeed a little difficult for Chen Mo.

"Gongda, you command!" Chen Mo handed the order flag to Xun Youdao beside him.

"Where is the lord going?" Xun You took the order flag and looked at Chen Modao.

"Let's see if we can scare him away, Yuan is not worried, but if Yecheng is lost at this time, it will be quite disadvantageous to our army!" Chen Mo turned over and got on his horse, and after saying a simple word, he took Dian Wei and ran in the direction of Yecheng.
