Chapter 477: Cao Cao's Defeat (1)
Yuan Xi went to the mountains outside the city and brought the Titan Monty Python back.
When Sima Yi's large array was formed and the defense was the most stringent, Yuan Xi asked the Titan Python to go from the flank, preparing to give the enemy a surprise attack. But halfway through the tour, Yuan Xi changed his mind again.
It is true that the Titan Python is good at breaking formations, but its most powerful ability is that it is particularly scary. If you scare the enemy half to death before the battle, and then attack, the effect is even better.
So, let the Titan Monty Python go to the front and slowly approach the enemy formation.
From afar, they begin to roar and attract the attention of their enemies.
Hiss...
The snake's cry is the most terrifying, it feels like a dark winter night, cold and terrifying. When this cry spread throughout the battlefield and a giant python came from a distance, the Cao soldiers stopped roaring and retreated.
"Don't mess around, steady!"
"Steady, steady...." The generals who commanded the formation waved the command flag over and over again. However, the snake was so scary that no one looked at his banner at all.
The lack of command of the Cao army, coupled with the fear in his heart, caused the large array to suddenly become chaotic.
"Don't worry, lean over slowly. Let the enemy shoot you with a bow and arrow.... Yuan Xi said to the Titan Python.
Ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt snakes at all, and even strong ballistas can't penetrate the enhanced version of the 'Puyuan Scale Armor', exposing the python to the enemy's archers, resisting the shot of bows and arrows, and crushing the enemy's fighting spirit.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
The general who commanded the formation finally succeeded in giving the order, and the archers on the right side of the large formation fired arrows at the Titan Python. The density of this attack is about to catch up with the rain, but when it hits the giant python, it will only hear a few sounds.
Bell, bell, bell...
According to Yuan Xi's intentions, the giant python let the arrows hit his body, just to tell Cao Jun that your attack was useless.
It's a psychological tactic.
When the enemy feels that the attack is useless, the python pounces on them again.
"Ahh Snake.... Suddenly, almost half of Cao's army turned around and retreated. Even a mentally prepared veteran can't help but go with the flow when he sees others retreating.
For a while, the large array laid out by Sima Yi all collapsed.
Yuan Xi roared at the Titan Python: "Hurry up..." ”
Hiss...
The giant python attacked, like thunder.
With just one dash, the front row of the enemy line was routed.
Several more tail sweeps in a row, setting off countless enemy soldiers.
"Okay, good fight..." Ma Yunlu was excited to watch from the city tower. She had long heard that the giant beasts in Hebei were powerful, but she had always seen them in person, and this time she saw them.
"Kill!"
The gates were wide open. Ma Chao personally led the army and killed Sima Yi's array.
Maybe it can't be called a big array now, because being rushed by the Titan Python, Cao Jun is all fleeing for his life, and it has become a plate of scattered sand.
............
Ma Chao was brave and invincible, and the 5,000 Xiliang army led by him was even more courageous.
After they rushed out of the city gate and engaged the Cao army, the battle situation was completely one-sided, and all the Cao troops were successfully defeated. The enemy fled to the west and wanted to return to the camp, but Ma Chao chased behind, killing more and more bravely.
until they chased five miles away.
Yuan Xi caught up with Ma Chao and said: "Meng Qi doesn't have to chase anymore, there are more than 100,000 Cao troops ahead, and you have too few soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you are not an opponent." ”
Ma Chao replied: "The lord doesn't have to worry. Cao Cao would never have thought that we could easily defeat his large array, let alone that I would lead an army to attack his camp at noon. Therefore there shall be no ambush in his camp. My 5,000 elite horsemen are the most elite troops brought by Xiaomei from Jincheng, which is worth tens of thousands of Cao troops, and we will win this battle! ”
Ma Chao was anxious to make contributions, and he didn't bother to explain, and after giving up his hand to Yuan Xi, he led five thousand elite horsemen to kill Cao Cao's camp.
"That's right..." Yuan Xi thought carefully in his heart and felt that Ma Chao's words were not unreasonable. At this time, Cao Cao returned to the camp for dinner, and there was Sima Yi's large array to blockade Longxi City, he would never have thought that Ma Chao would break through the blockade and attack the camp by surprise.
Maybe Ma Chao can really win by surprise if he does this.
Inevitably, Ma Chao was ambushed, causing unnecessary damage, and Yuan Xi led the giant python to follow behind.
Soon killed the Cao army camp.
Cao Cao really didn't have any defenses, and he didn't even place the horse, and the cavalry led by Ma Chao successfully entered the camp and rushed to the Chinese army.
"Capture Cao Cao alive, capture Cao Cao alive..."
The Xiliang army was all shouting.
Ma Chao was also very excited, eager to fly to the Chinese army and arrest Cao Cao.
In his opinion, it is not too difficult.
"Report..." As soon as Ma Chao's army entered the camp and engaged Cao's army, a soldier reported to Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, the Xiliang Army has entered the camp..."
"What?!" Cao Cao was eating, and he was so shocked that he almost dropped his chopsticks.
Sima Yi, who was sitting on Cao Cao's right, was also very puzzled: "The big array outside Longxi City was broken by Ma Chao?" That's not right, just with Ma Chao, you can break my big array? ”
No one can answer this question.
Because until now, no one knew about the Great Array.
Jia Xu scolded the soldiers who reported the news: "Hurry up and send an order to General Xiahou Yuan and beat the drum to meet the enemy." All the officers and men of the front battalion retreated to the defense of the Chinese army. The two battalions on the left and right rushed forward and outflanked the Xiliang army in a roundabout way. ”
"No."
The soldier turned to leave.
Sima Yi was still thinking about the big array.
Cao Cao said: "You don't have to think about it, Ma Chao can rush here, which means that the big array must be broken by him." ”
"Does Ma Chao have this ability?"
"Don't forget, there's also Yuan Xi. His giant beast is the best at breaking the formation, and even Zhuge Liang's eight formations may not be able to resist it, let alone a small formation set up by 10,000 people. ”
Cao Cao also knows Yuan Xi, and he guesses eight or nine or ten.
Sima Yi remembered that Yuan Xi was also in Longxi.
"It's the minister's carelessness, I didn't expect Yuan Xi's giant beast to cause a big defeat for our army." Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "The minister will personally lead an army to attack Longxi City and force Ma Chao to retreat." ”
Cao Cao said: "This is a good way. Ma Chao came to attack my camp, Yuan Xi must do his best to help, then Longxi City will be empty, you will be able to lead the army at this time, you will be able to make contributions. ”
"The minister retired."
Sima Yi took the order and left.
...........
After two pillars of incense, Sima Yi led 30,000 elites to evacuate from the rear camp and move to the north to attack the northwest city of Longxi. Ma Yunlu, who was stationed in the city, was a little afraid of Sima Yi's formation, so he only defended and did not attack, delaying time.
At the same time, Ma Chao's 5,000 elite horsemen became more and more brave in the Cao army camp.
Coupled with the help of the Titan Monty Python, the Cao army was unable to defend at all.
When Ma Chao killed the Chinese army, Cao Cao retreated in embarrassment.
In history, there was the defeat of the Wei River, Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao and fled with his beard masked, and the current situation is similar to in history. Cao Cao was unprepared, and was suddenly attacked, and then Sima Yi withdrew 30,000 elites, and finally completely collapsed.
After Cao Cao retreated, he left Zhang Liao and Xun You to collect the defeated troops, and then retreated to Ji County.
