Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 62 The Battle of the Tiger Prison

In front of the Tiger Prison, the earthquake trembled, the wind and clouds were overshadowed, and a bloody battle of forgetting life and death had begun.

About 40,000 soldiers and horses of LΓΌ Bu's army are launching a frantic offensive against the Eastern Coalition Army. At the same time, the gates of the Tiger Prison were opened, and waves of Dong Jun also came out. The two Dong armies formed two huge iron fists, which swung radially towards the coalition forces that were in chaos due to an unexpected attack in the rear.

Suddenly, the banner of the coalition army flew over, and a well-groomed army of soldiers and horses rushed out, forming a dense phalanx of thousands of people in the rapid forward, directly facing the cavalry vanguard of the Lu Bu army with thousands of galloping horses.

Under the banner of the word "Cao" and the word "Bao", Cao manipulated the horse to walk through the phalanx, he stared at the Dong army cavalry that was galloping a hundred steps away, his eyes suddenly flashed with fanatical brilliance, and blurted out: "Shield!" ”

"Uh-ha!" At the forefront of the battle array, the parallel three thousand-person phalanx took three steps together, and the tallest and strongest warriors in the front row roared to the beat, fiercely inserting the giant shield with spikes into the earth, forming rows of impermeable shield walls.

"Spear!" On Cao Cao's side, Bao Xin's eyes flashed sharply, and he also yelled loudly. With a "hula" sound, thousands of strong soldiers knelt down together, and half of their bodies were raised

Hidden behind the shield, thousands of spears were placed diagonally on the shield, pointing directly at the surging Dong cavalry.

In the gallop that shook the earth, the cavalry of the Dong army finally collided violently with the shield wall. Countless Dong cavalry cavalry were thrown out by the powerful inertia because of the frustration of their horses, or smashed heavily in the coalition formation, attracting swords and spears around them, or pierced by Rulin spears, becoming corpses hanging in mid-air in a strange posture.

The coalition soldiers in the first row all retreated backwards as if they were struck by lightning, and many people opened their mouths to spit out shocking blood and fell to the ground. At the moment of the violent collision of the war horses, their internal organs were completely damaged.

The Dong army's cavalry was blocked in the front, but it successfully broke through the strongest first shield wall of the coalition army, and the tidal rear cavalry continued to kill without hesitation.

The cavalry of the Dong Army, who had excellent riding skills, shouted again and again, driving the war horses to leap up. The posture trampled on the infantry of the coalition forces, and when some people soared their horses, they hung the horse's neck with one hand, and leaned over to slash the long knife in their hands, splashing one after another waves of blood. Although the cavalry was constantly being ruthlessly picked off from their horses, the three thousand-strong phalanx had already shown the appearance of disintegration.

"Second wave!" Cao Cao saw the blood dripping in his heart, but his heart of death was even more determined, if he couldn't stop the Dong army's charge, once his infantry followed up and consolidated the front, the nearly 200,000 coalition troops of the whole army would face the terrible fate of the collapse of the whole line....... not to mention. The shouts of killing in the coalition camp behind him are getting closer and closer, and the situation is already at a critical juncture.

The second column of three thousand-man phalanx slowly pressed up, and finally blocked the cavalry of the Dong army, which had lost their horse speed. However, even if the cavalry of the Dong army, which had lost the advantage of charging, was also very good, they abandoned the spears in their hands that were not suitable for close combat, drew their sabers and slashed wildly in all directions, even if the allied infantry shrank behind the shield, they were also chopped and spun down from time to time, and they were even stepped on by the front hooves of the Dong army's war horses so high that they vomited blood and flew out.

"The third wave!" Cao Cao and Bao Xin looked at each other in shock, and finally shouted a desperate order at the same time.

This coalition army of about 20,000 men. It is composed of about three parts, one is a veteran recruited and trained by Bao Xin himself, one is the children of the relatives convened by Cao Cao's brother Cao Hong, and the other is the private soldier of Zhongmu Haoqiang Ren Jun. In terms of combat power alone, it can be regarded as second to none among all the coalition forces. This army, which has been unknown, was attacked before and after the coalition forces, and was about to shake the whole line at a critical moment. Finally burst out with great strength, and after suffering unimaginable heavy losses, he stubbornly blocked the crazy offensive of Lu Bu's army.

Inspired by the bloody battle between Cao Cao and Bao Xin's subordinates. More than 100,000 soldiers of the coalition army let out a thunderous cheer, with the generals' order, the coalition troops re-formed a formation, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu two departments took the lead, 40,000 soldiers and horses rushed out of the Tiger Prison Pass Niu Fu army to kill, Zhang Yang's subordinates about 5,000 soldiers and horses stepped on a neat pace, turned back into the camp to intercept Huaxiong, the rest of the departments also slowly dispersed, relying on the huge strength far beyond the enemy, but formed a situation of encirclement of Lu Bu's army.

Lu Bu's eyes were full of madness and disappointment, knowing that he had lost the best opportunity to break the enemy, but the whole battle situation was already difficult to ride a tiger, 10,000 cavalry had already rushed into the enemy formation and melee, and it was difficult to withdraw easily, not to mention that once the army was withdrawn, the Niu Fu army would be entangled and annihilated by the enemy troops rushing in all directions, and Huaxiong and Zhang Liao would fall into a desperate situation of fighting alone....... all hope was in the powerful combat power of the Dong army far beyond the coalition army.

"The whole army ....... killed!" He gritted his teeth, raised his spear, and took the lead in killing the coalition phalanx.

Just as more than 200,000 enemy and our soldiers were killing you to the death, and the entire battlefield was bleeding and corpses were piling up, the Bohai Navy camp in the northwest corner also showed another busy scene.

Nan Ying sweated profusely from the medical tent, and after urgently operating for Sun Jian's injury, releasing half a basin of poisonous blood in one breath, and applying it internally and externally, he finally succeeded in pulling Sun Jian back from the front of the ghost gate. Seeing that Sun Jian slowly opened his eyes, a face that was originally iron blue had also returned to its normal blood color, and the generals of the Bohai and Changsha armies who were full of joy were thunderous, not only celebrating the auspicious appearance of one main general, but also applauding the erudition and breadth of the other main general.

Unfortunately, Nanying did not have this leisure, and he did not care about respite, so he hurried to the high platform in the camp and observed the bloody battle several miles away with a telescope.

When he saw that Cao Cao and Bao Xinjun fought to the death and finally turned the tide, Nan Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, he stood on the high platform and made a gesture, ordering the 10,000 soldiers of the Bohai and Changsha armies who were gathering to disband on the spot.

"Brother Nan!" Gao Shun hurried over, collided head-on with Nanying, who was slowly walking down, and said, "Since Brother Wentai is safe, why don't you take the opportunity to launch an offensive?" Lu Bu's army still has the upper hand at present, but once our army joins the battle, a big victory can be expected! ”

"I see what you mean!" He looked at Nan Ying's expression and sighed: "However, when the battle is fought to this extent, our army has always sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, I am afraid that it will attract criticism!" ”

"Big brother is really kind!" Nan Ying crooked his mouth: "What criticism?" Our army has only 40,000 troops, and they are struggling to support under the attack camp of Zhang Liao's 10,000 cavalry, while Yuan Shao's side has at least 250,000 troops, and the ratio of enemy to us is four to one, do they have any problems facing 60,000 enemy troops? ”

"Not to mention, General Ben has just led the coalition generals to win a hearty battle of generals!" He said vigorously: "Also, in order to solve the worries of Yuan Shao's side, we divided 10,000 cavalry to attack Huaxiong....... that is, the eldest brother, you will be replaced by others who say that I am sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and I must have a good deal with him!" ”

"You!" Gao Shun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Big brother is afraid that you will make too many enemies, if you send troops to help the war at this time, you will definitely attract many people to be grateful for life!" ”

"For these princes who only have power and money in their eyes? Let our own brethren shed their blood in vain......." Nanying said very simply, "Don't do it! ”

"Are you afraid that your brothers will shed blood in vain, why did you send Gan Ning to attack Huaxiong?" Gao Shun glared at Nan Ying and said, "Isn't it better to fight Zhang Liao?" ”

"Zhang Liao is a good general, the more he will pay attention to the rear between defeat and retreat, if our army pursues lightly, there will be no fewer casualties!" Nan Ying smiled: "However, Huaxiong is different, they are achieving a brilliant victory, although the morale is great, the vigilance will be reduced to the lowest...... When they were ready to retreat calmly, it was the time when Gan Ning broke the enemy in one fell swoop! ”

"There are so many war horses!" He looked salivating: "If I don't take advantage of this time to make a profit, I will definitely regret it!" ”

"Phew!" Gao Shun scolded with a smile: "I understand....... you want to make a profit, and at the same time make Yuan Shao and them have nothing to say...... If you don't go after Zhang Liao, who attacked our battalion, but you go to annihilate Hua Xiong, who attacked the coalition camp, you can show your kid's high demeanor and brightness in taking care of the overall situation! That's what you think, right? ”

"Can't say that!" Nan Ying chuckled and said, "Big brother, you see, under the death battle of Cao Cao and Bao Xin, they have successfully recovered their disadvantages and formed a stalemate. If they can't resist, of course I'll send troops to the rescue...... Who's to say that I don't care about the big picture? ”

"You're right! Our army and the Changsha army are combined, and there are only more than 40,000 people, which can be regarded as a single force! Gao Shun sighed: "If you don't know how to protect yourself, you will only lead to death in the end....... but it's a pity that these soldiers who fought to the death in blood!" ”

"Fight to the death...... Death in battle, this is the consciousness of being a warrior! Nanying's voice lowered: "Even I have always maintained this awareness!" ”

In the distant shouts of killing, Gao Shun's deep sigh dissipated in the wind like light smoke.

Hua Xiong finally gave the order to retreat. After cutting through the coalition camp hopelessly, he immediately gave up the illusory method of forcibly killing the bloody road and joining forces with Lu Bu's army. He had no more than 10,000 cavalry, and he had already achieved such brilliant results, how could he sacrifice his strengths and weaknesses to fight to the death with the superior enemy army in the big camp?

In the reflection of the sea of fire behind him, Hua Xiong's face was also a red color of excitement. Although the 10,000 cavalry withdrew only more than 6,000 people, in the short surprise attack, he killed at least 20,000 enemy troops, and also killed one of the enemy princes, Qiao Mao, and turned at least half of the enemy's military rations into raging flames....... both in the immediate and long run, this is an indisputable victory! The only thing to do at the moment is to get away quickly!

About 6,500 cavalry of the Dong Army rushed out of the coalition camp in the form of a long dragon on the corpses all over the ground, and galloped away along the road from which they came.

Just when the cavalry of the Dong army ran more than ten miles away, and they all felt that some people were sleepy and lacking horses, the wish in their hearts suddenly became a reality...... On the road ahead, a general in black armor and silver cloak stopped alone in the middle of the road with a proud face.

"Bohai Eagle will be Gan Ning!" Of course, Hua Xiong also knew that this young general who became famous in the imperial capital He Mansion in the first battle, just as his face changed greatly, Gan Ning's long knife pointed, and the sound of killing behind the mounds on both sides shook the sky, and the tide-like Bohai cavalry appeared from behind the hills, and killed it condescendingly, and instantly cut the Dong army cavalry that was like a long dragon into several sections.
