Chapter 195: The Hardest Battle II

The Xianbei cavalry, with the momentum of the collapse of the sky and the earth, rushed towards the Cao army. They roared and roared, vowing to trample Cao Jun under their feet and use their blood to wash away the shame of the previous rout.

"Raise your shield!" Gao Shun gave an order, and the soldiers in the first few rows of the trap camp raised their iron shields in unison.

Because before the expedition, Lu Xun, a new member of the trapped camp, expected that in this big battle, the trapped camp was likely to encounter a situation of facing the enemy cavalry, so he hurriedly prepared a batch of large iron shields to resist the impact of war horses.

The area of the iron shield is large enough to cover most of a person's body.

Although the trapping faction is an attack-oriented force, it does not mean that the trapping faction only knows how to attack. What's more, in the face of the onslaught of nearly 30,000 cavalry, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to foolishly launch an attack with more than 1,000 infantry.

No matter how brave the infantry is, it is impossible to fight the cavalry in a charging formation. Doing so is not a war, it's suicide.

The Art of War: "The way of offense and defense, one by one." "Only troops that are good at attacking and defending at the same time can be regarded as a real 'elite' division.

"Bang bang bang-" The sound of impact kept ringing.

The impact of the cavalry running to the highest speed was unimaginable. Even though the trap sergeants had already prepared and raised their shields to meet the attack, when the Xianbei cavalry rode their horses and crashed into the iron shield, those unlucky trap sergeants were inevitably knocked out.

In just one round of impact, nearly 300 sergeants in the trap camp were broken and fractured, and more than 70 percent of them were directly killed.

Gao Shun's pupils shrank, but in just a moment, his trapping camp was reduced by one-sixth.

Gao Shun's heart is dripping blood, since the Guandu War, it has been difficult for the camp to recover a little vitality, but now in the face of the Xianbei army, this army that has just recovered a little vitality is estimated to suffer heavy casualties.

The sergeants in the trapped camp are all 'elite' soldiers, and the death of each 'elite' soldier is a major loss. But the so-called 'elite' soldiers, more often than not, let you die bravely on the battlefield?

This is the fate of the 'elite' troops.

However, this burst of defense, although it caused a lot of damage to the trapped camp, also slowed down the impact speed of the Xianbei cavalry slightly.

Although the slowdown was only a moment, Cao Jun still grasped the fleeting fighter well.

I only heard Zhang He's voice sound: "Euphorbia, raise the halberd, stab!" ”

Although both the trapping camp and the Euphorbia are the first-class 'elite' soldiers in the Central Plains, in the face of such a large number of cavalry, it is impossible for either the trapping camp or the Euphorbia to resist the opponent's attack with their own strength.

Only by joining forces can there be a glimmer of life.

After the trapping camp first sent some men to line up in front of the shield array, so that the cavalry charge slowed down slightly, the halberd warriors immediately 'straightened' the halberd and stabbed the belly of the opponent's war horse with the halberd in their hands.

The original weapon used by the halberd was a halberd with a length of one zhang and five feet, but before the expedition, in order to be more effective in killing the cavalry, Zhang He ordered all the blacksmiths in Xuchang City to rush to a batch of weapons overnight. The length of the halberds used by the euphorbia warriors today has all been increased to one foot and eight feet.

In other words, the halberds in the hands of the halberders now are all more than four meters long.

The halberd warriors formed a square halberd formation at this time, and as soon as the trapped sergeants who raised their shields in front of them retreated, these halberd warriors immediately stepped forward one after another to raise their halberds and stab. They did not seek to kill the Xianbei knight on horseback, but the primary goal was to kill the crotch war horse of the opposing knight.

Stabbing the horse's belly, hooking the horse's 'legs', and slashing the horse's neck, as long as they can drive the Xianbei knights off their horses, the euphorbia warriors can be said to do everything.

And when the Xianbei knight fell off the horse, someone on the side immediately raised a knife, and while he was struggling, the knife ended the opponent's 'life'.

And those soldiers who carry knives and kill people are also the sergeants in the camp. Gao Shun divided the trapping camp into two groups, each with 600 people. One of them was responsible for raising shields to defend against the advance of the Xianbei cavalry, while the other was carrying short knives to kill the Xianbei who had been driven off their horses by the halberds.

First, some of the trapped sergeants raised their shields to resist and slow down the impact of the Xianbei cavalry; Then the Euphorbia waited for the opportunity to attack the opponent's war horse with a halberd of more than four meters; Finally, another group of trapped soldiers armed with short knives stepped forward to slash and kill the Xianbei knights who had fallen off their horses.

This is the cooperation between the trapping camp and the Euphorbia, the perfect coordination of tactics.

If the number of cavalry on the other side is equal to their own, then Gao Shun and Zhang He are fully confident that this battle will end in a complete victory for their side. However, it is a pity that the number of Xianbei cavalry is too much, not three or five thousand, but a full thirty thousand. The combined number of trapped camps and euphorbia is only about 4,000 people. Four thousand infantry, no matter how outstanding their combat power is, no matter how 'exquisite' their tactics are, in the face of seven times their own cavalry, they are just mantis arms as a chariot after all.

Fortunately, the trapped camp and the Euphorbia were quickly helped, and the cavalry of the Cao army, which had been 'forced' to retreat by the Xianbei cavalry, was given a chance to breathe because of the resistance of the two 'elite' troops. At this time, the cavalry of the Cao army had regrouped and turned to kill the Xianbei cavalry again.

Gao Shun and their side were fighting in the dark, and on the other side, Cao Zhen rode alone and rushed into battle, and at this time he was also in a heavy siege.

Kebineng's personal guards besieged him, giving him no room to escape.

Although the spear in Cao Zhen's hand flashed repeatedly, he still couldn't open an opening that allowed him to escape.

If it goes on like this, let alone kill Kebineng, I'm afraid I'll be here in a short time.

Kebineng's personal guards are all powerful and brave. Although they are not as good as Ritzun, they are at least at the level of centurions.

If there are only two or three people on the other side, Cao Zhen is naturally not afraid. But now dozens of people are surrounding Cao Zhen, to be honest, it is not easy for Cao Zhen to persist so far.

I saw a scimitar cut a cruel arc in the air, and finally slashed at Cao Zhen's wrist, splashing a pool of blood.

Cao Zhen's arm hurt, and the spear almost fell off his hand.

Could it be that I, Cao Zidan, am really going to be 'handed over' here today? Cao Zhen's heart was extremely indignant and full of unwillingness.

Cao Zhen is not afraid of death, the man returned as a horse leather shroud, and dying on the battlefield is also Cao Zhen's long-cherished wish. But Cao Zhen is only twenty years old after all, and this age is a good time for men to make contributions.

But even if you are unwilling, even if you regret it, so what? Can such a feeling of grief and indignation be transformed into a weapon to kill the enemy?

Just when Cao Zhen was almost desperate, he suddenly remembered the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

What followed was the sound of breaking the air when the knife was swung.

Blood, 'shooting' out, sprinkled Cao Zhen's face.

But this blood is not Cao Zhen's own.

Cao Zhen was dumbfounded, the few Xianbei people who were still around him before turned into headless corpses in an instant. From the place where their necks were broken, columns of blood spurted out to the sky.
