Chapter 915: The trump card is out, and the Cao army fled
More than a thousand Zhao troops, who had just escaped, rested in place.
They have completely run out of strength.
Originally, they were holding on with a sigh of relief, but now that they saw that it was their own reinforcements, they were relieved in their hearts and couldn't lift their energy.
Ignoring the dew on the ground, they all lay on the ground panting.
That is, the guards around Zhao Hui, there is still a little strength left at the moment. But all of them were tired.
Zhao Hui did not let them continue to participate in the war.
"Everyone, wear armor!"
The heavy cavalry and infantry, when they hurried tonight, did not all wear heavy armor.
However, in case of a sudden battle, it was too late to put on heavy armor, so they just put on the chest armor first.
The gibby armor and lower body are all carried on the back of the war horse, and they are worn when they are ready for battle.
If they had come here in full gear, they would not have been able to make it here, and they would have to be exhausted halfway through.
"General, the enemy forces in front have stopped." There is a horse to report to Guan Yu and Xu Chu.
"Hahaha!" Xu Chu laughed: "It must be that they can't run, Yun Chang, you and I will catch up, Tianliangzhi must take Zhao Hui, if after dawn, those people will not see Zhao Hui return, they will definitely send reinforcements." ”
Guan Yu had some doubts in his heart, but now he couldn't let him think about it, so he nodded and continued to pursue with Xu Chu.
Four thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers, in less than a moment, all the armor was put on.
At this time, Guan Yu and Dian Wei also caught up.
It was so dark that you could hardly see anything from three feet away.
When he got closer, Guan Yu realized that something was wrong.
He didn't recognize the heavy cavalry infantry, but judging by the number of torches and the vague formation, there were more Zhao troops here than those who had fled before.
And the momentum of the Zhao army is not right, where is there still the panic of the defeated army.
The Zhao army in front of them was shrouded in darkness, they were solemn, Guan Yu chased closer, only to find that no one in this army shouted in a panic.
Instead, they waited for them to come to the door, and then opened their bloody mouths to swallow them in one gulp.
"Kill!"
Zhao Hui killed Cao Jun.
Dian Wei Zhao Yun was on the left and right, and behind him were four thousand heavily armored warriors.
Like a crushing machine, it pressed towards Cao Jun.
Bang!
Clang!
Sonor!
Rumble!
"Withdraw!"
Just for a moment of fighting, Guan Yu immediately ordered a retreat.
He finally realized what kind of army was fighting them at the moment.
It is Zhao Hui's strongest trump card.
The Cao army brought by him and Xu Chu, as well as the tiger and leopard cavalry white-eared elite soldiers in the hands of Chen to Xiahou Yuan, encountered this heavy armored army in the hands of Zhao Hui, and they all had to be hated.
Invulnerable, how are they going to fight?
Not to mention the ordinary Cao army, it is Guan Yu and Xu Chu, if you want to kill any soldier of the heavy armor corps, it will be very difficult.
It is necessary to attack from the weak points of the heavy armor, those where the gauntlets connect with the cuirass.
If it was just slashed on the thick cuirass, with the strength of Guan Yu Xu Chu, it would be completely possible to split the heavily armored soldiers out.
But after the hoplites landed, they breathed a sigh of relief and were able to get up again to continue the fight.
These heavy armor are not tightly attached to their bodies, between the soldier's body and the heavy armor, there is also a thick cotton linen, one is to ensure that the body will not be abrased by the heavy armor, and then it can also play a cushioning role, avoiding the powerful force shock, hurting their internal organs.
"Kill!"
Now Guan Yu wants to withdraw, but Zhao Hui will not let him leave easily.
The speed of the heavy infantry is slow, but the two thousand heavy cavalry are still very easy to pursue and kill the Cao army's infantry.
Xiahou Yuan and Chen Zhi were left behind, and when they saw Guan Yu and Xu Chu retreating, they asked, "Why are you retreating?" ”
"Withdraw, Zhao Hui's reinforcements have arrived."
Guan Yu said to Chen Dao: "Chen Dao, withdraw immediately, hurry up." ”
Although Guan Yu is now obeying Cao Cao's orders, his heart has always been to this Liu Bei.
At this time, where will Guan Yu care about Cao Jun's life or death.
He was now more concerned about the thousand white-eared elite soldiers in his hands.
The strength of the white-eared elite soldiers is very strong, but when they encounter the invulnerable heavy armor corps, they can only retreat.
Liu Bei now has only a few thousand people in his hands, and these thousand white-eared elite soldiers are very important to Liu Bei.
Although I don't know why Guan Yu is so urgent, it is clear that the number of reinforcements from the Zhao army is not much.
But out of trust in Guan Yu, Chen Zhi immediately turned around and retreated with the white-eared elite soldiers.
Xu Chu split a heavy cavalryman, and also opened his mouth to let Xiahou Yuan retreat.
At first, Xu Chu didn't care, and split several heavy armored cavalry in a row. Knock them off their horses.
Then Xu Chu saw that the cavalry who had been knocked off his horse by him got up one by one as if nothing had happened, and continued to join the battle.
Even with Xu Chu's courage, this one feels a little creepy.
Invulnerable, can't kill?
Undead legions?
Xu Chu is the first time to meet it!
"Is this a hit?"
Run!
Xu Chu also turned the horse's head and ran back along the way he came.
A position was transferred between the two sides, and Zhao Jun began to pursue in the rear, and Cao Jun fled in front.
The Heavy Armor Corps is almost invincible.
Even if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White-eared Elite Soldiers combined, they are no match for the Heavy Armor Corps.
Especially this kind of hand-to-hand combat!
As long as the heavy armoured corps still has physical strength, they will not be defeated.
Zhao Hui and Zhao Yundianwei rushed to the front, venting all their sulkness and anger tonight towards Cao Jun.
One by one, Cao Bing died at their hands.
It's just that it's too dark, and Zhao Hui and the others can't pursue them at full speed.
Otherwise, the efficiency of killing enemies will be raised by another notch.
"Lord, in front of you is Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride." Zhang Wangdao.
The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan was one step slower than Chen Zhi's white-eared elite soldiers, and now they are lagging behind, and they have been caught up by Zhao Hui.
The tiger and leopard rode 3,000 people, and Cao Cao originally wanted to build all of them into cavalry.
However, the number of war horses is limited and the financial resources are insufficient, and Cao Cao is now only barely equipped with 2,000 war horses for the tiger and leopard. There are a thousand people left, still foot soldiers.
"Not good, the infantry behind was overtaken." Xiahou Yuan was anxious.
Tiger and leopard riding is Cao Cao's painstaking effort, and there is no room for failure.
But do you want to go back and fight Zhao Hui now?
Those heavily armored corps are invulnerable, and if they turn back to fight, the Cao army will only die more people, and it is impossible to defeat.
Xiahou Yuan could only continue to escape, but at the same time he ordered the infantry behind him to hide in the forest.
Cao Cao's order to retreat arrived, but it was too late.
Now it's not like Cao Jun can withdraw if he wants to.
The speed of the heavy cavalry was not as fast as that of ordinary cavalry, but now the sky was dark, and the tiger and leopard cavalry could not run fast.
The heavy cavalry chased in front, the heavy infantry lagged behind, and the Cao army that missed all died at the hands of the heavy infantry.
Except for those who fled into the woods, they were not killed.
The hoplites were not flexible and would have a hard time advancing into the woods.
Even if you chase into the forest, you can't kill those Cao Jun.
