Chapter 15: The Cavalry Breaks the Formation
"Zilian!"
Under Cao Jun's command, Cao Ren saw the scene of Cao Hong's death, and suddenly his eyes were blood-red and let out a terrible roar, his right hand lifted the lance, and he turned his head to look at Cao Cao suddenly.
"Mengde, aren't you still sending troops?"
Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Cao Cao are brothers of the same clan, and they had a very good relationship before the army, and now that Cao Hong is dead in battle, where can Cao Ren still be patient? He looked at Cao Cao in order to urge him to send troops to take revenge.
Cao Cao had been looking forward to the battle record, but he was very uncomfortable at this time, hearing Cao Ren's roar, he couldn't help but snort, after all, he was a prince, forcibly controlled his mood, he turned his head to the mighty man with a halberd beside him and said in a deep voice: "General Dian, you lead 40,000 tigers and leopards to ride in, break through from the enemy's right flank, don't fall in love with the battle, go straight to the enemy's army!" This battle is a matter of life and death for our army, please help me!"
Dian Wei was tall, wearing heavy armor and a tiger-shaped helmet on his head, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile fiercely, and his voice had a metallic trill.
"Don't worry, even if Dian Wei dies in battle, he will take Zhou Yu's head for the lord!"
His body is too strong, coupled with heavy armor and weapons, almost no war horse can withstand his weight, so although Dian Wei is the blade of 40,000 tigers and leopards, he has no mount.
After saying a word, he strode forward, and a layer of pale red qi suddenly swirled around his body. A hideous-looking demon god appeared in the void. This Dharma Statue seemed to be able to absorb the ferocious qi on the battlefield, and the evil qi above the battlefield was constantly devoured by it, and then turned into energy to bless Dian Wei, making his speed faster and faster.
"Mengde!
Cao Ren turned around and said a word, and then raised the lance in his hand into the air, commanding the 40,000 tigers and leopards to follow closely in the footsteps of Dian Wei. He is Cao Cao's confidant, and at the critical moment, he has to take the greatest responsibility.
Boom! The 40,000 tigers and leopards are like a torrent rolling forward, and the horses are charged, and the strength is not more than thousands of catties, and once the 40,000 cavalry reaches their peak state, they can directly tear through all obstacles.
"Zixiao! This battle is very important, I hope we can win the final victory! If we are defeated in this battle, we will no longer have a foothold in Yuzhou. ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren who was charging forward, and said silently in his heart. If Yuzhou is lost, Yanzhou will also be unstable. The land of the Central Plains is a flat river, and there are enemies on all sides. When Yuan Shao saw Yangzhou going north to the Central Plains, he would definitely be impatient to send troops south. He Cao Cao was attacked by the two princes of the world, and he had no power to fight back.
Perhaps, if he can't gain a foothold in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he can attack Xuzhou to the east, and if Gao Cheng and Yuan Shao are both defeated, he Cao Cao will have a chance to rise again.
......
"Pass the order, the archers will retreat immediately after releasing the arrows, and retreat behind the chariot with the pikemen!" Zhou Yu had a bad face in the Chinese army, and kept giving orders.
However, at this time, he could only conduct simple commands, but once the army exceeded 100,000 and began to enter a state of great war, it was almost impossible to conduct micro-manipulation of the army.
The only one who can do more is the soldier immortal Han Xin. From ancient times to the present day, there is only one person. At the moment, don't say it's Zhou Yu, even if you let the names of Bai Qi and Li Mu in the Spring and Autumn Period command in the future, you can't do this.
"General Zhou, why don't you let me lead the troops up, I will definitely block the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army!" Lu Dai's face changed, and he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.
Zhou Tai is a general who followed him to Xinye, and he and Zhou Tai have been fighting side by side when they attacked Shanyue, so now that Zhou Tai has made a mistake, he wants to try to make up for him.
Zhou Yu said coldly: "General Dinggong, you and I have heard of the tiger and leopard riding of the Cao army, and the cavalry charges, even if you lead the troops up at this time, it will be too late." We can only defend the Chinese army now, and hope that the two wings can break through the Cao army's large array as soon as possible!"
He didn't say that the Chinese army couldn't hold it, Zhou Yu and Lu Dai were both talented commanders, but no matter how strong their ability was, they couldn't turn the tide after the Chinese army was broken, and they would inevitably be defeated at that time.
However, Zhou Yu was not completely unprepared, before the war, he ordered people to make only simple chariots, on which cloth bags filled with sand and soil were piled together to form a barrier more than one person high. These chariots were scattered and slowed down Cao's cavalry.
After Zhou Yu gave the order, his eyes fell on Xu Chu on the side. This time he went north to Xinye, Gao Cheng sent most of his soldiers, and there were less than 100,000 soldiers and horses left in Xiangyang. and also sent Xu Chu, the commander of the pro-soldiers, to assist.
Xu Chu's strength, Zhou Yu saw it when he attacked Jiangxia, and he was a genuine peerless general. A strong man of this level will not come out, and once he makes a move, he will exert the power of a decisive blow.
Zhou Yu's original plan was to let the army continue to press forward, forcing Cao Cao to send tiger and leopard cavalry to fight to the death, and then Xu Chu took advantage of the situation to attack the middle of Cao's army and take Cao Cao's head.
His strategy was to strike first, let Cao's army retreat step by step, forcibly knock the enemy out of the flaw, and then crush him. Now Zhou Tai's sex has risen, driving tens of thousands of horses, revealing flaws. This is not a preemptive strike, but Cao Jun's first strike.
"It's a little impatient to send Xu Chu now!" Zhou Yu clenched his fists, looked at the surging tiger and leopard riders, and resisted the idea of sending Xu Chu immediately.
Bang!
Like the sound of mountains and rivers shattering, Dian Wei raised his head to the sky and roared, stepped on the ground with his right foot, the earth exploded, and countless mud roared out with a strong Gang Qi, and the rain of arrows shot by the archers was swept away by the majestic Gang Qi before it fell.
His speed suddenly increased by three percent, and the halberd in his hand was as fast as an afterimage, and in an instant, more than ten zhang of Gang Qi roared out, flying the improvised chariot blocking in front, and then drove straight in, slashing and killing, setting off a bloody storm. Hundreds of soldiers were torn to pieces by the halberd's qi.
"Kill!"
Cao Ren led the tiger and leopard cavalry to surging into the gap opened by Dian Wei, and the armor and weapons weighing hundreds of catties turned into terrifying weapons at the speed of the war horse. The cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry put their weapons at an angle, and only relied on the lethality brought by the speed to tear apart the military formation of tens of thousands of Yangzhou troops.
Seeing the lethality of the tiger and leopard ride, Zhou Yu and Lu Dai all changed color, and Xu Chu focused on Dian Wei, who was charging at the front, and licked his lips slightly. His eyes rose with a scorching battle intent.
"General Zhou, what now?" Lu Dai asked in an astringent voice.
Zhou Yu calmed down and said, "Hold on, the tiger and leopard cavalry is a heavy cavalry, and it is impossible to have such a strong impact all the time." The most important thing now is to restrain the enemy generals! As long as you block the person in front, the power of the tiger and leopard cavalry will be reduced by 50 percent!"
"General Xu, you are a peerless military general who is hard to find in the world, and the vanguard general of the Cao Army's tiger and leopard cavalry will be handed over to you!"
