824 Cao Cao's abandonment
Cao Cao had no choice but to give the order to withdraw his troops.
Because he can feel that the army's morale is turbulent, if he doesn't withdraw the army, he will catch all the elites under his own command, and I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.
It's just that as soon as the order to retreat was given, the Cao army, which was already disheartened, suddenly scattered like a broken hornet's nest and galloped towards the west.
Correspondingly, invisibly, the military spirit of the state army has become more stable and the fighting spirit has become more hot.
The blade in his hand ruthlessly slashed at these retreating Cao soldiers, and those enemies who were too late to retreat were trampled into pulp.
After all, how can a person's legs outrun a war horse, and in a few breaths, the cavalry of Bingzhou is like a pack of wolves, breaking into the defense line of Cao's army.
Suddenly, this place became a hell of Shura. The Bingzhou cavalry, wielding spears and broadswords, set up a formation, they rode in a row of fifty, repeatedly rushing to kill in the middle of the Cao army, with the help of the habit of the war horse, the sharp spear blade, can easily tear the cloth armor of the Cao army, tear their bodies.
Moreover, the biggest threat of this kind of attack is not the spear and knife in their hands, but the threat of death, everyone has the instinct to survive, and in the face of the threat of death, survival has become the only thought in their minds.
So, running away became Cao Jun's only thought, waving the weapons in his hands, they scattered and fled, and it was an action for any object in front of them, so they swung their knives and slashed.
....
The most direct confrontation in war is on the battlefield, but the key to victory lies in preparation.
Under the design of Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun respectively led the army to besiege Cao Cao's retreat.
For a while, the sound of weapons colliding, roaring, and screaming came and went.
Splashes of blood, severed limbs, and swinging blades shattered the peace of the land.
However, although under the general situation, Cao's army was defeated, but there were also a few places, under the leadership of the generals, there was not much panic, and they still did what they had to do, wielding a knife to kill the enemy until they died in battle.
This group of non-commissioned officers is usually trained strictly.
And the most stable place is still commanded by Yu Ban.
When the wolf rode and galloped and didn't travel much, the scouting horses of the Cao army led by Yu Ban found their traces and reported back to Yu Ban.
Yu Ban couldn't help but be shocked, I was afraid that there would be more than one bad luck, so he ordered his subordinates to go back to the camp to move the rescuers, and he gritted his teeth and led his subordinates to ride hundreds of guards to meet him.
When they had walked forward for a while, they saw a lot of dust not far away, and a cavalry pounced viciously, led by a general, with a national face, a resolute face, a slender and straight body, wearing a golden helmet, wearing heavy armor, stepping off the yellow horse, a broad-backed broadsword in his hand, galloping on the horse.
Behind him, a banner flew in the wind, and the flag had a big "Zhang" character written on it, and under the flag, hundreds of athletes followed with a roar.
The person who came saw Yu Ban stopped in front of him, strangled the war horse with his hand, and raised the big knife in his hand high, signaling to stop advancing.
The hundreds of cavalrymen who were jumping and neighing suddenly became silent, and the horses that were moving forward with all their might just now stopped at this moment.
As soon as the generals came out, although thousands of troops and horses could order the ban, even the opposite Yu Ban couldn't help but be impressed.
"Who's coming?" Yu Ban saw that the other party was holding the war horse, so he asked loudly.
Zhang Liao lifted the war horse, walked out slowly, pointed with the broad-backed broadsword in his hand, and asked without answering: "Are you Yu Ban?" ”
"Exactly. Are you ......" Yu Ban saw that the other party recognized him, and he didn't hide it, so he readily agreed, and then asked rhetorically.
"I'm Yanmen Zhang Liao!"
"You are Zhang Wenyuan, I don't know why the general is here?" After listening to this, Yu Ban was secretly shocked in his heart: Zhang Liao is a fierce general under Lu Bu, and I am afraid it will be difficult to be good this time.
"Now that the defeat of the Cao army has been decided, why don't you know the current affairs as a handsome general, and quickly dismount and surrender?"
"General Zhang, you can try." Yu Ban did not show weakness, and replied coldly.
Joke! Really, I'm afraid of you?
"Then, Hugh blames Zhang for being polite!"
Want to fight? Can't ask for it!
Yu Ban secretly thought: Just to delay time, so he laughed and said: "Come on, come on, you and I will fight three lilies!" After speaking, he waved the spear in his hand and wanted to compete with Zhang Liao.
"Huh."
Zhang Liao looked at Yu Ban's movements, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if mocking, only to see him raise the big knife in his hand high, and the blade pointed at Yu Ban.
With Zhang Liao's movements, the spears of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry were all raised in unison, ready to sprint.
After the forbidden war horse was urged to raise the speed, Zhang Liao's raised broadsword stabbed forward violently, and shouted in his mouth: "Charge!" Then he urged the war horse to take it straight to the ban.
Hearing his command, the iron cavalry of the state also urged the war horse, and rushed up with a strange scream!
Yu Ban on the other side was shocked when he saw this, he originally planned that he and Zhang Liao would fight alone, how could he support it for half an hour, and then his reinforcements would arrive, and at that time, there might be a chance to leave Zhang Liao here.
However, Zhang Liao is not an idle person, and he obviously saw through his thoughts, so he came up with a surprise attack of the whole army, and the purpose was to break this small army in one fell swoop!
At this moment, it was obviously too late to turn around, and Yu Ban could only hope that his personal guards could withstand this wave of attacks, so he also shouted: "Charge!" ”
The distance between the two armies was only a stone's throw away, and as the war horses kept accelerating, in an instant, the two sides collided together like iron streams.
For a time, people turned on their backs.
The cavalry and the cavalry faced each other, competing whose armor was stronger and whose impact was stronger, and the two aspects were obviously the upper hand of the iron cavalry.
On the one hand, what Yu Ban is under the jurisdiction of is a probe horse, a light and fast horse, which emphasizes speed, and Zhang Liao's command is a real cavalry.
After a short confrontation, there were less than ten cavalry left in Cao Ying, and all of them were wounded, and even Yu Ban was picked off by a big knife in the duel with Zhang Liao, and his cape was very embarrassed.
Compared with the cautiousness of the ban, Zhang Liao is not far behind.
Ever since Cao Cao's army "chased" Lu Bu and charged all the way into the realm, there have been many more people of all kinds around them, who have been closely watching their movements.
And these people are Zhang Liao's meticulous work.
At this time, Yu Ban can be said to be in danger, but the Bingzhou soldiers who were chasing him closely did not attack desperately, which also gave him a chance to breathe, otherwise, Yu Ban would have to explain again.
Yu Ban is also a battle-hardened battle, knowing that he is invincible, he can't care about anything else, and shouts: "Withdraw!" Then he turned his horse's head around and fled first.
Zhang Liao looked at the backs of Yu Ban and the others, smiled slightly, and ordered: "Don't push too hard, let him take us to meet Cao Ying." I want to see what Cao thief has to dare to fight like this! ”
