Chapter 40: The Great War of Cao Yuan (1)
All of this happened in just half an hour.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers were still stunned....
Tamed colorful tigers, tall mammoths, defective red rabbit horses, and strange-looking Fengshen pterosaurs all tug at their visual nerves. And it was the infamous Yuan Xi who made all this, which surprised them even more.
Yuan Xi returned to Yuan Shao's military formation and saluted Yuan Shao: "The child failed to kill Guan Yu, I hope my father will forgive me." ”
"Xi'er, you..."
Yuan Shao couldn't believe that it was his son Yuan Xi standing in front of him, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Maybe it's really as rumored, Yuan Xi is destined to return to heaven and has the ability to command the beasts.
Xu You and Guo Tu on the side had brilliance in their eyes.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also grateful to Yuan Xi for taking a righteous action and saving their lives.
Zhang Jaw, who had already taken refuge in Yuan Xi, saw that Yuan Xi had beaten Guan Yu away and made great contributions, and he was even more happy for Yuan Xi.
Only Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shanghe, was not in the driver's seat, for fear that Yuan Xi would be in the limelight, causing Yuan Shao to pay more attention to it, and even pass on the throne to Yuan Xi, with a little worry on his face.
The judge hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "The lord should not despise Cao Cao, and should immediately set up a formation." ”
Yuan Xi also hugged his fists and said, "What Mr. Zhengnan said is right. Cao Cao is not an idle person. The child could only repel Guan Yu, but he couldn't control the situation of the battle. If we want to win this battle, we have to rely on our 300,000 troops. ”
"Hmm."
Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Xi appreciatively, returned to the car, and said, "Order the state army to crush Cao Cao's army formation." The Jizhou army rode on foot, and then pressed the formation and fought a decisive battle with Cao Cao. ”
"No."
Yuan Shang answered and went to transfer troops.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou also drove their horses away.
Almost all the generals and strategists of Yuan's army firmly believed that Yuan Shao would win against Cao Cao. The chariots of Bingzhou and the iron cavalry of Jizhou are by no means something that the foot soldiers of the Central Plains can resist.
Only Yuan Xi, as a traverser, knew that the Battle of Guandu ended with Yuan Shao's defeat, and he was very afraid and worried in his heart. He really wanted to help Yuan Shao and win against Cao Cao, but he didn't know how to make a move. Because until now, Yuan Shao's defeat has not been seen. On the contrary, Cao Cao's troops were insufficient, his morale was weak, and he was not as strong as Yuan Shao.
The battle is on the verge ....
Yuan Shao held a sword and shouted: "Eliminate traitors and thieves, kill!" ”
Thundered...
Yuan Shang's 20,000 chariot army, with a thunderous momentum, rushed to Cao Cao on the opposite side. Then 30,000 archers and 20,000 light horsemen marched around the flanks and surrounded Cao Cao.
The various units of the Jizhou Army are also ready to advance on a large scale.
The big war begins!
Cao Cao returned to the car, took out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and shouted: "Go to war!" ”
Roar, roar, roar...
Under the command of Cao Ren, the general of the Chinese army, rows of shield soldiers and spearmen walked out of the army formation with neat steps, and killed the chariots and light cavalry that rushed towards them.
Facing the sweeping chariots and horses, the arrows are as dense as a drizzle. They were not afraid of death, as if they were carrying out suicide attacks.
Boom boom boom ....
When the two armies were about to collide, Cao's shield soldiers formed countless arc-shaped shield formations to meet those chariots. The chariot ran past, often only one wheel hit the shield and was immediately overturned.
The spear warriors hidden under the shield array came out from time to time and stabbed to death the soldiers of the Yuan army who rolled off the chariot.
It's fast.
The battle was fierce.
The results were beyond everyone's expectations.
Yuan Shao's invincible chariot army, built with a lot of money, didn't even bubble, and it became a pile of ruins...
And Cao Cao's soldiers only suffered less than 5,000 casualties!
Yuan Xi watched the battlefield and felt incredible. It was also shocked that Cao Cao's soldiers were able to overcome the fear brought by the chariot, resisted the attack with shields and spears, and finally stubbornly survived.
Da Da...
Next is the Jizhou Army Iron Cavalry.
Jizhou's iron cavalry has always been fierce and is a veritable king on the battlefield. Unless you encounter an elite like a spearman, you will be restrained. Otherwise, it's crushing!
They followed the chariot army and attacked the surviving Cao soldiers.
In the face of absolute strength, the arc shield array and spear sneak attack can no longer work. The overwhelming iron horsemen galloped and roared, destroying all the enemies without incident.
"Thunderbolt ready!"
Cao Ren raised his long knife, ran in front of the military formation, and shouted: "Light the fire, let it go!" ”
Whoosh...
A full 500 thunderbolt carts were placed behind Cao Cao, and the jars and boulders filled with fire oil were placed in the spoons of the thunderbolt carts, and the soldiers let go of the turntable that held the spoons, and the thunderbolts shook violently and threw the boulders and cans out.
"Archer prepare!"
Cao Ren continued to order: "Release! ”
With the powerful attack of the thunderbolts, 10,000 archers stepped forward and fired a wide range of upward fire.
At this time...
Yuan Shang's 30,000 archers and 20,000 light cavalry had already circled Cao Cao's left and right flanks, forming an encirclement of Cao Cao's military array. But it could not be pushed further, because Cao Cao's left and right wings were already on guard.
Xu You said with a shocked face: "Lord, Shang Gongzi's merger state army has been in chaos. ”
Yuan Shao was anxious.
He walked around the car with a sword in his hand, his brow furrowed.
Yuan Xi ran to Yuan Shao's car regardless of his manners, looked at Cao Jun's military formation, and said, "It seems that some kind of formation is blocking the Bingzhou army." ”
"It's Cao Cao's habitual eight-gate golden lock array." Frustrated said.
"Can you break it, sir?"
"This..." Apparently not capable of this.
Xu You, Guo Tu, and Xian Pei also lowered their heads, for fear that Yuan Xi would ask them.
Yuan Shao was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he hated to go into battle in person. Yuan Xi arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, father, the child is broken!" The eight-door golden lock array looks majestic and murderous, but it is actually a small skill of carving insects! ”
All the strategists looked at Yuan Xi....
Yuan Shao also turned his worries into joy, and said busily: "Then hurry up... Quickly dispatch troops to break through the enemy formation! ”
"Yes."
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shang on the side and said, "The third brother can order the light cavalry of the left flank to go around to the southeast corner first, attack and kill, and then turn to the southwest direction and kill from there." Then order the light cavalry on the right flank to attack from the north and smash the enemy's central army, and this formation will be broken. ”
"No."
Yuan Shang is the most unseemly Yuan Xi's showmanship. The previous battle against Guan Yu had already made him envious, jealous and hateful, and now he had to listen to Yuan Xi's order to face Cao Jun, which was simply slapping him in the face.
But the military situation was like fire, and with Yuan Shao by his side, he had to obey.
