Chapter 324

Cao Pi was not laughing groundlessly, but Sima Yi actually felt strange at this time. Because the tens of thousands of infantry on the opposite side seem to have been assembled and are waiting for Cao Pi's arrival!

Cao Pi stopped the troops, stood on a high place and looked at it for a long time, and then asked Sima Yi beside him: "Sir, the generals with the word 'Wen' written on the banner are not the main generals who are the famous generals of Jingzhou?" "This Cao Cao and Liu Biao have been confronted for many years, Cao Pi is already thirty-four or five years old, so he naturally knows about Wenpin.

"It should be him!"

"Haha...... Ha ha...... It is said that Guan Yu is a famous general, and in the past few days, we have chased him all the way only to see him fleeing with his life, and we have forgotten about the ambush and blockade halfway. Today, I met another general. My father used to talk about this man, saying that he was used to fighting and was especially good at defense. What you saw today seems to be a bit exaggerated! ”

"Childe, this is Jingzhou territory, it's better to be careful." Seeing Cao Pi's spring breeze, Sima Yi couldn't say anything, along the way he kept persuading Cao Pi to be careful, be careful, as a result, people almost even caught Guan Yu, if he really pursued at the beginning, maybe Guan Yu's 30,000 infantry were wiped out, instead of just crushing the last 5,000 people now.

So Sima Yi was also afraid that Cao Pi would blame himself for being troublesome, but he kept reminding Cao Pi to do his part!

"Sir, you see, this Wen hired army looks good, but has he forgotten that once these infantry are attacked by our cavalry, they will soon be scattered? Ridiculous, is he going to fight me on this plain with only 30,000 infantry? ”

"Maybe they had to do it as a last resort to pick up Guan Yu."

"It's even more important to hurry up after such a long time. Ha ha...... Last time, Uncle Rang's 5,000 cavalry was lost on the way to pursue Liu Bei. I'm afraid they've tasted the sweetness. But today I just happened to be angry for my uncle, and passed my general order, and the whole army attacked after the three-way drum! ”

"Childe, do you want to send some scouts to reconnoiter around?"

"Sir, don't worry, Pi has already arranged it! There is such a force within a radius of dozens of miles, and there are remnants of Guan Yu in the back. If Wen Ping and Guan Yu retreat into Xinye City, I really have no choice but to wait for their father's army to arrive! Such a great opportunity now, you must not miss it! ”

Opposite the Cao Pi cavalry array, Wen Ping was in the center, Gan Ning was on the left, Liu Pan was on the right, and Guan Yu was behind him. It turned out that in order to cover Guan Yu, Liu Pan and Gan Ning had been attacking Wancheng and Runan. After Guan Yu retreated to Luyang, Liu Cong ordered the two men to withdraw their respective troops. During this period, Huang Zu was also ordered to reinforce Liu Pan in Runan, and the military teacher Fa Zheng also made several strange plots, so that the chasing soldiers in Runan did not dare to attack rashly, and Liu Pan and Huang Zu returned to Xinye safely.

After the generals returned, Liu Pan arranged for Wen Ping to go out of the city to meet Cao Pi, and chose to set up a position to fight Cao Pi fifty miles north of Xinye City.

"Zhongye, can we infantry really stop Cao Pi's 20,000 tigers and leopards?" Although Guan Yu, who attracted Cao Pi to be fooled, had completed the task, he was surprised to hear that Liu Cong was going to ask Wen to hire infantry to fight Cao Pi in a decisive battle.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the team, Liu Pan and Gan Ning were both sent to help. And Huang Zhong led 5,000 cavalry behind the infantry formation.

"Generals, when has the lord fought a battle that he is not sure of? You will see, we will wait for our army to break through Cao Pi's vanguard, and hope that the generals will not hesitate to pursue the victory and inflict heavy damage on Cao Pi! ”

"That's nature!"

"General, the enemy's cavalry seems to be ready to charge."

"Well, the three armies were ordered to be on alert, and General Huang Zhong was ordered to transfer the cavalry to the two wings of the infantry formation to suppress the formation!"

"No!"

Wen Ping was in the center, and the 30,000 steps behind him were also in full swing, but Gan Ning, Liu Pan and others who were watching were inexplicable, because in addition to the soldiers holding a super big shield on the bottom card, the soldiers from the second to the ninth row put bows and arrows and knives and guns on the ground, and carried an iron rod with a three-finger thick rod and a two-zhang long iron rod in their hands, and a sharpened wooden rod with a thick arm in the back.

What is this for? You must know that the opposite side is a tiger and leopard horse, and even people and horses are at least 500 catties or more, once they charge, how can these infantry resist? In the past, it was customary to deal with cavalry either by spear formation or by long-range suppression by bow and crossbow! Even Guan Yu didn't understand why Liu Cong, who had always been cautious, chose to attack and choose to fight Cao Pi on this plain!

However, seeing that Wen Ping was full of confidence, the generals began to concentrate, once the cavalry rushed into battle, if the combat effectiveness of these generals could be fully exerted, they could also resist a range of a few zhang.

Unexpectedly, Wen Ping smiled and waved his hand, and the generals also invited the two wings to press the formation for me. After speaking, he waved his hands. Then Le Ma retreated, no longer at the forefront of the entire infantry phalanx.

Not far away, thousands of horses are galloping and dusty! Cao Pi finally ordered the whole army to attack. And Wen Ping had already retreated to the back of the line, because he handed over the rest to the Wu Chang, Shi Chang and others in the first few rows of the mouth. The results of these days' training depend on today's battle!

At the front of this infantry phalanx were all strong men, and the huge shield almost covered their figures. And the people standing in the second row, without exception, are veterans of the battlefield. I saw that there were words in their mouths.

"Two Hundred Steps......

"One Hundred and Fifty Steps......

The "One Hundred Paces ......" cavalry was already clearly visible, and even the wind blowing could be felt.

"Fifty steps! Preparation! ”

"Haha...... Kill! Get more heads to get promoted and get rich! The cavalry at the forefront of Cao Junchong saw the Jingzhou infantry waiting for battle, as if they saw boxes of gold and silver treasures, and rushed forward without any scruples. In their opinion, these infantry did not pose a threat at all. All that's left is how many heads each of them can harvest!

"Haha! I think they're already scared to pee their pants! ...... driving"

"Drive! Drive! The closer you ...... drive, the faster you go! "These cavalrymen are obviously trying to break the shield of the infantry phalanx with the weight of the horses themselves and the high-speed impact!

"Thirty steps! Rise! With an order, the second to ninth rows of the Jingzhou soldiers suddenly moved, and they suddenly stretched out the iron rods and wooden sticks that were originally laid flat, and then plunged one end into the ground at an angle of forty-five, and then everyone helped up the other end together......

Sigh...... Sharp-eyed cavalry spotted the enemy!

But it's too late, they're just too fast!

Burst......

Burst......

Servant...... There was a sound of knives and guns piercing into the flesh, and then the miserable screams of countless war horses sounded on the entire battlefield!

It turned out that the iron rods and wooden rods that suddenly appeared on the ground were without exception, and under the control of the infantry, they accurately pierced the body of the war horse, and some even pierced with people and horses!

After the four or five hundred pounds of war horses were penetrated, they were fixed on the spot, and the cavalry behind them couldn't stop their horses, and they fell down one after another, and the war horses also fell to the ground one after another, and they were in a mess! The cavalry team that was still charging before was frozen as if it had been cast a spell!

"Squat!" Seeing that the first blow was successful, the veteran quickly ordered the soldiers to squat.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......

It's the Lancers! Thousands of spears rushed into the center of the infantry and hurried at the cavalry. Suddenly there was another scream! The sound of horses is mixed with the sound of people. Soon the spearmen retreated, and rows of crossbowmen stood on the shoulders of the previous phalanxes, and a rain of arrows rained down on Cao's army.

At the rear of the infantry formation, with a wave of the Wen Ping Ling flag, the five thousand cavalry waiting on both wings immediately rushed out, surrounding the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, which was originally a mess, on three sides!

The unguarded blow completely crushed this tiger and leopard rider known for its fierce combat effectiveness!

It's so reliable! It's incredible!

However, these iron rods are obviously processed and extremely sharp, and the cavalry and horse combat body drive are in Taiping [huge. So after the first few rows fell, it was simply impossible to penetrate the large shield of the infantry phalanx. In this way, they were attacked by a flurry of spears, followed by crossbowmen. Numerous casualties were immense. Of course, it was more because of the chaos of the situation, trampling on each other, which led to the chaos of the formation.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi and the others who followed behind the cavalry were dumbfounded, they may have thought before the war that Wen Ping was a difficult opponent, but they never expected that their tiger and leopard cavalry did not cause damage to the enemy at all, and they suffered a large number of casualties. By the time some clever people reflected, the two wings had already been surrounded by Huang Zhong's team. During this period, there were also Jingzhou generals such as Guan Yu, Liu Pan, and Gan Ning!

What is the advantage of the cavalry is to break the formation by relying on strong impact force, and now their own formation has been broken, and the team is in chaos. Most of them have become lambs to the slaughter! And the cooperation of these infantry almost made Cao Jun breathless, and after one wave of long-range attacks, the infantry began to pick up knives and guns to start harvesting the corpses of the war horses and Cao soldiers lying on the ground!

It was a very bold attempt, but now it has succeeded, and the morale of the tens of thousands of infantry led by Wen Ping is high. For them, a one-on-one fight with cavalry may not have much chance of victory, but now most of them have fallen from their horses. The war horse trampled on the soldiers, and the soldiers who got up tried to re-mount the war horses and escape! In the eyes of the battle-hardened Jingzhou infantry, these are the prey. And wounded prey!

The most unwilling may be Cao Pi, Sima Yi saw that the situation ahead was not good, and hurriedly asked people to run back with Cao Pi. If it weren't for Cao Pi's fast horses, I was afraid that he would soon be caught up by Huang Zhong's cavalry.

The 20,000 tigers and leopards brought by poor Cao Pi, in addition to being killed by the first wave, most of them trampled each other to death!

In the end, only three or four thousand people were able to escape from the battlefield, and the rest either became dead souls or became prisoners!

Originally, it was an inevitable war, but it became what it is now, and Cao Pi finally remembered his father's teachings. Guan Yu, the world's famous general. Wen Ping, a famous general in Jingzhou, is especially good at defense! Be careful when you encounter them.

But the successive victories in the past few days made Cao Pi completely forget Cao Cao's advice, and when Wen Ping led the infantry in front of him, he disdained it! I thought that this time I could expand the results of the battle and make a great contribution before my father arrived! The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel! Cao Pi fled all the way to Xuchang in embarrassment! Leave Wen Ping and the others laughing on the battlefield!
