Chapter 106: Zhang Xiu is in a hurry
"Ignition!"
"Put!"
In the round shield array, a thousand thunderbolts were placed. The soldiers put 50-pound boulders and canisters full of oil into the spoons of the thunderbolts, ignited the canisters with fire, and launched them.
Boom boom...
The overwhelming boulders and the black smoke canisters of fire oil flew forward, just enough to hit Yuan Xi's position. Powerful firepower, covering the front row of the military formation, suffered heavy casualties.
The small chariots that ran out of the military formation were also bombarded and scattered.
Yuan Xi rode back more than a thousand meters and reached the position of the Chinese army.
Wen Chou followed: "Lord, mammoth and King Kong giant ape, when are you on it?" ”
"Not yet."
Yuan Xi said: "The enemy's thunderbolts and heavy ballistas are extremely destructive, and they are definitely not something that the physical body can resist. Smash our chariots and horsemen out first, and suppress their equipment. Mammoths and King Kong giant apes, in order to make a difference. ”
"Oh..."
Wen Chou is looking forward to the appearance of the elephant and the giant ape.
Yuan Xi was in a heavy mood and muttered to himself: "I remember that during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao didn't have so many thunderbolts. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, they are about to catch up with our Yecheng equipment. ”
"Don't worry, lord. Our chariots and iron cavalry are not lost to Cao's army. Wen Chou said.
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi could only hope that the newly formed 10,000 chariots and 10,000 iron cavalry could crush Cao Cao's army and destroy his equipment. As long as he can do this, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated!
"Chariot, rush over..."
Gao Ran commanded at the front.
Thundered...
One by one, the chariots crashed into the shield array, and the strong impact force caused the shield array of the guard equipment to retreat again and again. But there was no crash. Cao Cao's soldiers still have a strong psychological quality, and in the face of the crushing of the chariot, they did not take half a step back, but simply withstood the impact.
Yuan's chariots were blocked, most of them were overturned, and some stopped.
Rumble! Rumble!
The boulders and canisters of fire oil fired from the thunderbolt all smashed on the chariot. Boulders can smash chariots and explode canisters, making them even more powerful.
In just half an hour...
The chariots in front did not break through the shield array, and the chariots in the back were attacked by boulders and canisters of fire oil, and were mostly paralyzed.
"Prime Minister..."
Guo Jia happily ran to Cao Cao's chariot and raised his hand to point to the battlefield in the distance: "Yuan's chariot has been defeated..." ”
"Hmm."
Cao Cao also said excitedly: "Among Yuan Xi's 160,000 troops, only chariots and iron cavalry have the strongest combat effectiveness. The chariots are useless, and the iron cavalry is even less likely to break through the defenses of our army. We've won this battle! ”
"Prime Minister, look, Yuan Jun's iron cavalry rushed towards our two wings." Xun Yu on the side was a little anxious.
"Don't worry. Our heavy crossbow and all the bows and arrows are arranged on both wings, and Yuan Xi's war cavalry will never return! Cao Cao said.
............
Yan Liangqin led 10,000 heavily armored iron horsemen and rushed towards the two wings of Cao's army.
Before they could reach the front of the formation, they were fired by a dense drizzle of arrows, and the casualties were huge.
Especially on the left.
There were 500 heavy and powerful ballistae placed there, and they were extremely combative.
Yuan Xi stood on the back of the mammoth, observing the situation of the entire battlefield. found that his 10,000 chariots and 10,000 heavily armored iron horsemen were suppressed by Cao Jun, and he began to feel anxious.
"Cao Cao is really amazing..."
His gaze fell on the Vajra giant ape on the side, and then withdrew it. Now that the King Kong Giant Ape is sent out, it is possible to chisel through Cao Jun's shield array. But there is also a possibility of being bombarded by a thunderbolt. Dangerous.
In order to prevent a tragedy from happening, Yuan Xi is not prepared to take risks.
Wen Chou shouted: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead an elite army to break through the shield array of the Cao army. ”
"It's not the time yet..."
Yuan Xi did not agree.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
It's after noon.
Gao Yan's chariot was destroyed.
The iron cavalry that rushed to the left flank also suffered heavy casualties.
Only the battlefield on the right flank made Yuan Xi see a glimmer of hope. Thousands of cavalry led by Yan Liang broke through the defenses of Cao's army and heartily defeated Cao Cao's two arrow arrays. Cao Cao sent Zhang Xiu to lead more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to resist, and the battle was in full swing.
"Wen Chou."
"Yes."
Yuan Xi roared: "Hurry up and push out our heavy chariots, run them over from the right flank, and then turn to the northwest and flank Cao's army!" ”
"No."
Wen Chou was ordered to leave.
After Gao Ran's chariot was destroyed, he retreated to return to his life. Yuan Xi ordered: "Put our trebuchets and heavy ballistae in the front row." Just like Cao Cao, set up a formation and stick to the middle lane! ”
"No."
Gao Ran also went to prepare.
Yuan Xi hurriedly returned to the back of the four unphased beings, and said to the King Kong giant ape and the mammoth: "Old guys, it's up to you now. Follow Wen Chou's heavy chariot and go around the enemy's flank. Watch out for breakbolts. Keep a distance of at least five hundred meters! Go for it! ”
Heehi...
Roar!
The mammoths and King Kong apes, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, ran towards the right flank.
Thundered...
As soon as the heavy tank came out, the situation changed. All the places before were pressed and beaten by Cao Jun. Now Yan Liang's thousands of war horses and Zhang Xiu's iron horses are engaged in a bloody battle. Wen Chou led the heavy chariots to the aid and increased the intensity of the attack. Then there were mammoths and King Kong giant apes as vanguards, stabbing at Zhang Xiu like arrows from Xuan.
If nothing else, it will definitely break through the flank of Cao's army.
"Hurry up and report to the prime minister, I want reinforcements..." Zhang Xiu, who was fighting with Yan Liang, was extremely anxious when he saw Wen Chou's heavy chariot running over.
"No."
Hu Che'er left with a mace.
"Prime Minister, the right wing is in a hurry..." Hu Che'er ran back to the Chinese army and explained to Cao Cao the situation on the right flank.
"I've seen it. You go back and tell Zhang Xiu that you must block Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I will immediately send troops to help. Cao Cao said.
"No."
Hu Che'er returned the same way.
But.
Cao Cao didn't send troops to help, he called Xu Huang and said solemnly: "Gongming, whether you can win this battle or not depends on you..." ”
"Please give the Prime Minister's orders." Xu Huang straightened his back.
Cao Cao said: "Except for the 3,000 Tiger Guards and the 70,000 Qingzhou Army, the rest are under your command, cover the past from the front, and defeat the Yuan army!" ”
"No."
Xu Huang left.
Cao Cao's combat philosophy is difficult for ordinary people to understand. But Guo Jia can see some doorways. Yuan Xi's chariot was routed. War horses, mammoths, and King Kong giant apes all went to the right flank again. Isn't Yuan Xi's military array an empty shell? Now concentrate the main force and cover the past, you will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Xi's army formation, and then raise the whole army to rush and kill, how can you not win?
Besides, Yan Liang and Wen Chou defeated Zhang Xiu, it was useless.
Because it was 70,000 Qingzhou troops guarding the Chinese army, it was extremely combative. Yan Liang and Wen Chou can at most eliminate Zhang Xiu, and they will never rush to the Chinese army. When Yuan Xi is defeated on the frontal battlefield, isn't it a piece of cake to go back and clean up Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
With this in mind, Cao Cao prepared to start a large-scale attack.
