Chapter 70: Fighting Array! Trap camp against white soldiers
Seeing Chen Zhi and the thousand people behind him, Cao Cao's face became a little bad.
In terms of the ability to know soldiers, even if you look at the entire Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao is definitely the number one figure. The purge of the opponent's military appearance can be seen at a glance. Most of the defenders in the city faced the powerful Cao army, and their faces were more or less related. And these thousand people, there is no trace of fear on their faces, even if they come to the front of the two armies and feel the coercion brought by the 50,000 strong troops opposite, the look on the faces of these thousand people is still calm as water, and their bodies are still as immobile as a mountain.
This is an elite army, and it may even be a strong soldier whose strength is no less than that of the trapped camp! Cao Cao quickly made a rough assessment of the strength of these thousand people in his heart.
I didn't expect that Liu Bei would have such an elite army under him, and there would be a good general who could train such an elite soldier. It seems that it is not an easy task to win this first battle battle.
"The will to fall into battle, I am invincible!" Gao Shun's expression was also very solemn, obviously he knew that the thousand people in front of him were not easy to deal with. But as the commander of the trapped camp, no matter how strong the enemy is in front of him, he must lead his men and horses to move forward bravely, this is his duty, his obligation, and it can also be said that he has borne the fate since he was reborn as Gao Shun.
"White Soldiers, attack and kill the enemy!" Seeing that the enemy general in front of him had given the order to attack, Chen Zhizi was not to be left behind, and shouted loudly.
The two armies rushed towards the front at the same time without hesitation, only to see two small army formations collide fiercely together, weaving gorgeous blood flowers in this wilderness outside Pengcheng.
The only thing that every soldier in the battle formation has to do is to pick up the spear in his hand and stab it forward, piercing the opponent's chest through the enemy's leather armor, so that more enemies will die under their own guns!
Gao Shun had to admit that the Bai Wei soldiers, the thousand-strong army in front of him, were the strongest enemies he had encountered in the frontal conflict of the trapped camp under his command.
Whether it is combat spirit or combat power, this white soldier can be described as the first-class. They are full of fighting spirit, and the only thing they want is to kill the enemy. The constant death of the robes around them did not make them feel any fear, but only further aroused the killing intent in their hearts, and used a more turbulent offensive to meet the enemy in front of them. They were highly skilled, and they were evenly matched with the soldiers in the camp, but they did not fall behind in the slightest.
It is also thanks to Gao Shun's trapped camp, if a thousand people are drawn out from other troops under Cao Cao, I am afraid that there will be no benefit in front of this white army.
Watching the soldiers of the self-army fall in a pool of blood one after another, whether it is Gao Shun or Chen Dao, their hearts are not very comfortable.
Since the establishment of the trapping camp, Gao Shun has always taken the line of elite soldiers. At the beginning of its establishment, there were only 800 people, and although it was expanded many times over the years, the total number was only 1,500. It can be said that every soldier in the trapped camp is a valuable combat power for Gao Shun, and every person killed in battle is a big loss for the trapped camp.
And Chen Zhi's hardships in establishing the Baiwei Army, that is even more than Gao Shun, although Tao Qian built Xuzhou quite well during his lifetime, but Cao Cao's last expedition has ruined all this. Although Cao Cao failed to occupy the land of Xuzhou in the end, he slaughtered many soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, and robbed a lot of food when he left, which greatly damaged the vitality of the entire Xuzhou. After Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, there was a shortage of money, food, soldiers and ordnance, and it was difficult to set up an elite army under such conditions. Xuzhou's total strength is now about 25,000, which is only half of Cao Cao's troops. And the Bai Wei soldiers that Chen Zhi worked so hard to build, although there are 3,000 people on the surface, they can actually be called elite, that is, the 1,000 people who are now fighting in the battle array. The remaining 2,000 people are only slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers. Therefore, in the face of the loss of the soldiers of the self-army, Chen Zhi felt more sad than Gao Shun.
"Ah——!h Sun Er, the leader of the trapped camp, once again stabbed the spear in his hand into the chest of the enemy soldier in front of him, although his eyes were already red, Sun Er still clearly remembered that this was the seventh person he had killed in this battle.
However, to his great surprise, the enemy soldier who was pierced through the chest by the spear was not dead, and burst out with the last ferocity in his life, and the whole person flew towards Sun Erfei.
Sun Er hurriedly dodged backwards, but he couldn't dodge, the enemy's hands were tightly wrapped around his neck, and Sun Er's face quickly turned a ball of purple.
Sun Er, who felt the breath of death, struggled to break free from the other party, only to see him constantly stabbing blood holes in the body of the enemy soldier with his spear. But although Sun Er could feel that the other party's aura was getting weaker and weaker, for some reason, the hands that pinched his neck became tighter and tighter.
In the end, the enemy soldier who didn't know how many shots he had been stabbed on his body died, and Sun Er himself lost his breath forever.
I don't know how many times this situation has been repeated in the battle formation. Soldiers kill all the time, and they are killed all the time. Maybe one moment you just cut off the head of the enemy in front of you, and the next moment you will be stabbed in the chest.
The hand is broken, and he kicks with his foot; Broken foot, biting with teeth. In short, until the last moment of life cut-off, these soldiers have only one concept in their hearts: kill! Kill! Kill!
In the end, Gao Shun and Chen Zhi finally waited for the order of Ming Jin in their respective armies to withdraw their troops. As the commander of their respective troops, as long as they don't hear the sound of Mingjin, they must always lead the troops to fight. At this time, on the battlefield, nearly half of the sacrifices of both sides have been made, and if the battle continues like this, this loss cannot be summed up simply by a "huge" one.
After Mingjin, each side took back the corpses of their own soldiers and counted the casualties. In this battle, a total of 436 people were killed in the trapped camp, while 476 people were killed in the battle.
Cao Cao's face was as pale as water, as the strongest camp of the Cao army, he actually lost thirty percent in this battle, which he never expected beforehand.
And Guan Yu's mood over there is naturally not much better, Liu Bei attaches great importance to this white soldier, which Guan Yu knows very well. And now that Bai Weibing has lost so many people at once, how can he explain to his eldest brother?
But at this point, regret is useless. After cleaning up the battlefield, I saw Guan Yu once again single-handedly walking slowly in front of Cao's army.
"In the previous battle, the two armies were equal. This time, I don't know who dares to fight me under Cao Sikong! Guan Yu faced Cao Jun and shouted with great momentum. Listening to his tone, he was extremely arrogant, and he didn't take the generals of Cao Jun in his eyes at all.
Although the number of people killed in the battle of the trapped camp was forty less than that of the Bai Wei soldiers, there was nothing to criticize Guan Yu in saying that the result of the battle was a draw. The statistics of both sides can only be the number of casualties of their own troops, and the exact number of casualties of the other side is naturally unknown. And if the other side directly informs the number of war dead, who knows whether the figures reported by the air are true or false? Therefore, the decision of victory or defeat can only be determined by the merits of the scene at that time, and judging from the previous battle situation, the two armies reflected an even situation. After all, the gap of forty people, in the clash of thousands of people, is so small that it can be ignored.
"Who can go to the enemy Guan Yu?" Hearing Guan Yu's almost nobody's shout, Cao Cao looked back at the generals behind him and asked.
"I am willing to fight with Guan Yu!" It was Zhao Yun who was the first to answer, and at the same time as Zhao Yun spoke, he had already driven down the war horse and rushed straight towards Guan Yu.
