Chapter Twenty-Six: The Siege of Guanshan (Part II)

Xu Sheng's Jiujiang Sujia had already become a bird frightened by the arrows, and out of instinct, he immediately re-established the formation and raised his shield to block it.

It may be that Yan Jun deliberately left some arrows and took advantage of this opportunity to try to rush into battle - this is the instinctive reaction of Cao Mengde and Xu Sheng!

But then, what made Cao Cao and his subordinates change color, and even frightened, was that more and more light horsemen rushed up again, and they threw at Xu Shengbu more than once!

Not only that, Cao Mengde stood on the battlefield car and saw clearly, one of the light cavalry also began to try to harass and attack the slightly clumsy Cao cavalry standing on the edge of the large array, which did not seem to be a problem with bows and arrows. There were even two Yan army armored cavalry, about 4,000 people, which took advantage of the situation to detour south under the cover of light cavalry, and rushed towards the last cavalry of Cao's army...... And looking at the banner, it was Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, the two generals who made Cao Cao hate, personally lead it.

In other words, on the battlefield on the plains, how fast did the cavalry move?

After Cao Cao saw it from afar, he immediately ordered the only remaining tiger and leopard on his side to ride to herald and rescue the last cavalry of the headquarters, however, the only two or three hundred tiger and leopard cavalry rushed to the south side of the large array, and Zhang Liao's armored cavalry also arrived, but they rushed hard under the long-range cover of the light cavalry on both sides, and completely dispersed the last cavalry of Cao's army!

This is to be expected, it is a group of remnants of the defeated army forcibly formed, if it weren't for the cavalry itself being too important in the wilderness, Cao Cao would not have brought them out this time.

However, what is unexpected is that the two or three hundred tiger and leopard riders who are also the generals of the defeated army show completely different military qualities and the will to die from their comrades!

There were only more than 200 cavalrymen, and they didn't even look back, and they rushed directly against the 4,000 Hebei armor cavalry, and then instantly drowned in the Yan army array.

This was enough, enough for Mao Jie, who was originally standing behind the cavalry, to order a salvo of bows and crossbows to disperse the defeated troops in his own army, so as to prevent the defeated troops from counterattacking his own position.

Cao Mengde looked at this scene from afar, not knowing whether to rejoice or grieve.

But in the next moment, with Wang Kai's soft shouts and guidance on his side, Cao Cao, who was standing on the chariot, was frightened to death!

It turned out that at the same time that the Yan army suddenly attacked the last cavalry of the Cao army and won a sudden victory, directly west of the battlefield, in the open space not far in front of the Zhou Taibu formation, that is, directly in front of the White Horse Banner, the Yan army directly gave the secret of its sudden recovery of long-range strikes to a hundred in front of everyone - hundreds of horses, almost each of which was carrying tightly bound arrows, appeared in front of the position! With the light cavalry of the Yan Army, which suddenly resumed long-range strikes around them, it seemed to be announcing something!

Cao Cao felt a little ridiculous at first - after all, it was an encounter, and the other party had never seen such a hollow array like himself before, how could he carry so many arrows?

But like everyone else, he quickly realized that these arrows should have been temporarily transported from the Yan Officer's Crossing Battalion, otherwise there would not have been that kind of stagnation just now...... And at this thought, Cao Cao felt more and more ridiculous, could it be that the cavalry really did whatever they wanted to deal with the infantry? It's so simple, so easy to break the big array that he has been meditating for a long time?

However, in another moment, Cao Cao woke up for the second time, the Guandu camp is not close to here, it is not far away, even if the Yan army temporarily transports arrows from behind, it will take a long and precious time...... The other party came so fast, it can only show one thing, that is, as soon as his old friend on the other side came to the battlefield, saw this big array, praised himself for the genius of the world, and immediately thought of a way to grind it with a bow and arrow, and then immediately issued a military order to the Guandu camp to dispatch the bow and arrow here.

Combined with the process of engagement, from temptation to concentrated attack, the Yan army was like flowing water, without the slightest hesitation, it seemed to be exactly that.

Thinking of this, Cao Mengde was really a little distracted for a moment...... He tried to adjust his mind and find a feasible strategy, but there was no effective strategy other than abandoning Xu Shengbu and immediately going south layer by layer.

However, abandoning Xu Sheng is not just a moral problem, but a huge military risk - you must know that on the battlefield at this time, in addition to the civil recruitment department, the whole army is mainly composed of his Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops, Liu Bei's department is even more, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Li Tong, Xu Sheng, are all under Liu Bei's command, and Xu Sheng's department is the so-called Jiujiang Sujia, which is Liu Bei's core army, at this time choose to throw Xu Sheng, what if the order goes down Chen Wu, Zhou Tai, and Li Tong do not agree?

If the battle is divided so that the whole army is annihilated, that is the biggest joke!

But who is to blame for this?

The so-called Central Plains Alliance is not one in the first place, and it is a miracle that it has been able to maintain it until now.

"Boren, you personally go to order Xu Sheng." After being stunned for a moment, Cao Cao, who knew that hesitation would only worsen the situation, suddenly said hard towards Xiahou Shang, who had fled to his side in a hurry. "Let him immediately prepare to raise his shield and move into formation...... Tell him that the matter is urgent, and it is too late for anything, so he can only escape alternately against the speed of fire of the Yan army's cavalry! But the more you get to this time, the more you have to stabilize the formation, Mao Xiaoxian still has a rout in front of him, and he can't move for the time being, let him retreat a little, and I will let Du Xian go through the gap in the big formation to meet him! ”

Xiahou Shang's forehead was cracked, bleeding nonstop, and when he heard the words, he immediately wanted to beat the horse to see Xu Sheng, but unexpectedly, Cao Cao suddenly shouted to stop him, and then threw the Qingyu sword in his hand in front of the opponent's horse: "Take this sword over, please be sure to listen to orders, don't be impulsive!" Then don't come back yourself, just fight with him! ”

Xiahou didn't dare to slack off, turned over and picked up the Qingyu sword on the ground, and before he had time to salute, he hurried away.

Hundreds of steps away, Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang were almost desperate...... Thinking about it, he was shot alive by several times more than the Yan army for nearly an hour, and the reduction of the troops reached a quarter, and he was finally about to return to a safe position, but the enemy suddenly continued the previous blow!

Only he is not allowed to go!

However, even so, after Xu Wenxiang saw Xiahou Shang and the sword in his hand, he gritted his teeth and agreed, and then ordered to raise his shield and move to the formation. It's not just that he knows the importance of the overall situation, it's not just that Liu Bei had advice before the war, and more importantly, he really can't bear this attitude of being beaten and attrition.

However, with a command, the whole army raised its shield and fell again...... There is no way, Xu Sheng's troops are seriously attrition and exhausted, and the arrow rain of the Yan army's light cavalry has already become more unscrupulous at this time, in this case, when they raise their shields to retreat, the people behind retreat quickly, but the people in front can only retreat slowly, so that there is a gap in the formation, causing a large area of casualties!

In desperation, Xu Sheng could only order to stop and continue to defend passively, or continue to passively attrition.

And Xiahou Shang has nothing to say!

However, there is a limit to attrition, and under the rain of arrows that go and return, the faster and faster attrition, the reappearance of the wailing wounded, and the heavy infantry have no chance of hand-to-hand combat throughout the whole process...... At this time, Xu Sheng's department has gradually reached the psychological limit!

Just when the Du raid department struggled to move behind Zhou Taibu under the long-range killing of the Yan army knights, suddenly, a Xu Shengbu military marquis in the front row, who had been standing in the shield for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and directly roared, holding a big shield full of arrow feathers and striving forward! Then, as expected, he was immediately wounded from the side by a rain of arrows, fell to the ground, and was then shot to death, and at the same time wounded his companion who suddenly lost his shelter behind him with an arrow in the knee, and wailed to the end.

However, unexpectedly, this person's almost suicidal charging posture did not make Xu Sheng's subordinates feel afraid...... They are the core subordinates of Liu Beijun, who embraced the land of the two Huai, and even if they collapsed, they chose a way to collapse unexpectedly.

A moment after this Qu Junhou fell, almost instantly, the front row of Xu Sheng's army formation erupted with a roar that shook the entire battlefield, and then countless officers in the front row followed one after another, taking the lead in raising shields and spears to charge forward!

And behind these officers, without the slightest hesitation, there were only more than 2,000 Jiujiang Sujia left, and they also raised their shields to follow!

At this time, Xu Wenxiang, who was the commander of the first army, did not say a word, but tidied up the plain armor on his body, then lifted the silver spear, turned over his white horse, and then charged with the army, and fought bravely!

Xiahou Shang sighed, and then without any hesitation, he immediately got on the horse and followed him with the Qingyu Sword - as Xiahou Yuan's nephew and Cao Zhen's brother-in-law, what did he have to hesitate about?

It's just that I can't do it.

It was the Wuhuan soldiers who were being suppressed by archery, and their quality was low, and they were caught off guard for a while, and they were rushed to the front by Xu Shengbu with a shield, and the casualties were quite serious, causing the rest of the light cavalry to retreat one after another.

But that's all, at this time, Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian, who were wandering around on the south side of the battlefield with their own armored cavalry, were such experienced cavalry generals? And the westernmost part of the battlefield, the main force of the Yan Army, is even more eyeing it.

So, who will miss the fighter?

After waiting for almost two hours, the sun has already set so much in the west, isn't it just waiting for a corner of the enemy's large array to collapse?

So, almost at the same time, with the wave of Gongsun Xun's hand, Tian Chou and Yang Kai went from northwest to southeast, while Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian went from southeast to northwest, and the four divisions of eight thousand armor cavalry came to the flank insertion in front of the two armies towards the more than 2,000 swaying plain armor soldiers of Xu Sheng's department, and joined forces to complete a two-way pinch!

Having lost their formation, how weak were the flanks of more than 2,000 infantry with such a clear gap in the gallop? And how strong are the eight thousand horsemen who are waiting to work? What if there is a shield and a spear at this time?

Almost instantly, the heavens and the earth changed color, and Xu Shengbu's exerted roar and battlefield charge easily dissolved, leaving only the cheers of the Yan army and the sound of countless horses' hooves vibrating on the battlefield.

Xu Sheng's dress was too conspicuous, and he was pitiful for a general who had always chosen the front, but before he could fight, he was shot by random arrows, and the war horse under his crotch died first, and his person broke a leg, and was trampled to death by the cavalry before he could get up, but it was the same result from Tian Yu, who fled from his front before!

As for Xiahou Shang, when his people were charging halfway, they suddenly saw Zhang Liao's banner coming from the southeast, so they simply rushed forward, although they fought hard, they didn't even see Zhang Liao's face at all, and they were easily surrounded and killed by countless Yan army armor and horsemen - the Qingyu Sword and the previous Yitian Sword fell into the blood stain of the battlefield and disappeared from there.

The corner of the big array suddenly collapsed, Cao Cao saw this scene from afar, he was angry and anxious, and his people wanted to sneer with their temper and scold a few more words, but they could not open their mouths, but turned into a faint sigh, so they continued to order the whole army to stabilize the formation and roll south.

But at this point, it's not the way it was.

Xu Sheng's counterattack failed, and he immediately became the target of slaughter, and Du Xian's department was also blocked in the gap between Zhou Tai's array and Cao Cao's main formation by the surging cavalry, and they could not advance or retreat; Chen Wubu exposed his two sides again, and immediately a light cavalry pressed on him, continuing the kind of unbearable shooting suppression; There is also the Zhou Taibu, although its troops have not suffered any damage before, but at this time they are exposed on three sides, and the Yan army light cavalry, which has been aroused by blood and charge, would rather fight back against the crossbow of the Zhou Taibu, but also maintain the suppression on three sides!

Zhou Tai is a taciturn general, and after Liu Bei got him, he has always compared Gao Shun under Gongsun Xun, and he has always been responsible for commanding the most elite troops under Liu Xuande as a confidant...... The status is much higher than that of Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and even before the rise of Huainan Sanjie, his people were faintly second only to Zhang Fei among the generals of the Southern Army.

Of course, Zhou Youping has never lived up to Liu Bei's trust, and it seems that he can always give everything for Liu Bei.

At this moment, Zhou Tai first looked at the sun - most of the afternoon had passed, at most two hours would pass, or even more reasonable, an hour and a half, and the sky would be dark.

But what's the use of getting dark in this state?

Zhou Tai, who was standing on the pile of debris, first looked back at the messy Du Xian Division, and then looked at the northeast direction, he knew that the Chen Wu Department over there would not be able to hold on for too long, and it would inevitably collapse immediately, and he could see clearly that Yang Kai and Tian Chou, as well as the Tian Yu Division, who should have been frustrated at the beginning, had already gathered there and were ready to assault...... In this way, Liu Bei, as the Huainan Shangjia relied on, would be annihilated here.

Then there was his own department, Zhou Tai turned around, looked around the left and right, and saw that the arrows from three sides were raining down, and he let the guards around him raise their shields to block a sneak attack that was obviously an enemy marksman, and he still didn't say a word...... There is no doubt that under this level of blow, before dark, it is not clear elsewhere, at least the Danyang soldiers under his own command will definitely be defeated here in the same way by the Yan army!

What about after dark?

Perhaps Cao Cao could stabilize the formation and continue northward, or perhaps Cao Ren would take the risk of sending a large army to meet the success...... Maybe there is still a chance for the whole war that I don't know about turning the tables, but in that case, what is the matter with my own lord Liu Bei?

Without these 10,000 core elite armorers, without Zhou Gongjin, without Xuzhou, no matter what the final result of this battle is, his own lord can only retreat to Huainan and even Jiangnan.

With this thought, Zhou Tai looked at the white horse flag in front of him, and then slid his gaze to the arrow transport team in front of the formation. For Cao Cao, there may be other ways to go, but for him Zhou Tai, this is the only goal to survive in death!

"Herald!" As another obviously targeted arrow passed by, shooting his own guard, Zhou Youping finally opened his mouth without changing his face, but he was still concise and to the point. "All the army raise their shields and charge forward! Take the white horse flag in front of you! ”

The officers gave orders layer by layer, and then walked forward with Zhou Tai silently drawing his sword, but the entire military formation was directly raised with the Zhou character banner, and then slowly went west!

This is a new force, and it may also be the most elite foot soldier on this battlefield, and at this time, it suddenly took the initiative to give up the formation and move forward, but it was completely different from Xu Shengbu's collapsed suicidal charge! At the same time as its troops moved forward, although they encountered the long-range killing and wounding of the surrounding light cavalry, the attrition was quite fast, but it was not chaotic at all, and basically maintained a formidable melee heavy infantry formation!

And Zhou Tai's sudden action immediately shook the entire battlefield and triggered a series of chain reactions - the first to encounter a heavy blow was naturally the Du Raid Department who was originally hiding behind Zhou Taibu, and his troops hurriedly moved forward to try to take over Zhou Taibu's original position, but they bore the brunt of the situation of being attacked on three sides as a matter of course; At the same time, after Chen Wubu noticed Zhou Tai's advance, he did not hesitate and chose to take the initiative to charge, which was an even more speechless choice, but it put Cao Jun's town and the civil department behind him into trouble.

took the initiative to attack, and as soon as he moved, he first made the Cao army array, which had only collapsed one corner, collapse half of it in an instant, Cao Cao was naturally angry, but he had nothing to say, because after all, it was not his direct subordinates! Moreover, he figured out the stakes earlier than Zhou Tai - there was nothing wrong with Zhou Youping's move, the problem was that he could rely on the coalition to fight against Gongsun Xun's Central Plains Alliance.

At this time, compared with Cao Jun's helplessness and determination to divide into two, Yan Jun also encountered some trouble for a while.

Zhou Tai's troops naturally need to try their best to block it, and this formation seems to require a large number of armored cavalry to fight desperately to stop the advance of its division, but at this time, the 12,000 armored cavalry that can cause effective resistance is extremely scattered at this time - Zhang Liao Chenglian's 4,000 armored cavalry is scattered and is hunting and killing the routed Xu Shengbu, and some of the troops are directly involved in the siege of the Du raid department, and the two generals are in a hurry, and they have no time to prepare their troops, so they can only rush to the Zhou Tai department with hundreds of armored cavalry; Yang Kai, Tian Chou, and Tian Yu's five or six thousand cavalry were very similar, they encountered Chen Wu's decisive counterattack, and they couldn't break free for a while, and they couldn't give up the fighter plane that completely defeated Chen Wu, so they were divided into two, Tian Chou stayed here to stop the Xuanjia soldiers who dealt with Chen Wu, and Yang Kai and Tian Yu also hurriedly returned with hundreds of armor cavalry.

In other words, Zhou Tai launched an assault at this time, just to see this opportunity.

When the four generals came bravely, regardless of life and death, they rushed directly into Zhou Tai's army formation from the rear, Zhou Tai had already moved half the way, and Yuwen Black Otter and Yu Fuluo also hurriedly led the last two thousand armored cavalry to stand out bravely, divided into two, attacked around the flank, and countless light cavalry galloped left and right without military orders to shoot and harass...... Under such an all-out blockade, although Zhou Tai's department has complete shields and iron armor, and although his department is brave, almost every step forward, he has to take off a layer of skin.

The battle entered the most intense with Zhou Tai's advance, and it was also the stage where the lives of both sides were consumed the most.

However, having said that, because of the need to show those pack horses, Gongsun Xun was too close to Zhou Tai's army at the beginning, only a few hundred steps, so Zhou Youping gradually forced him to come forward with huge casualties.

Gongsun Xun laughed for a while, and without waiting for Jia Xu, Xun You, and the rest of the staff and righteous servants to persuade him, he took the initiative to order: "I know that the overall situation has actually been decided at this time, so there is no need to fight for a moment, and retreat with these 'arrows'!" ”

Since they had been ordered, Pang De and the others naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and the three thousand white horse Yicong guarded the white horse flag and the so-called carrying arrows, but in fact, most of them were pack horses loaded with half a cylinder of sediment and hurriedly retreated hundreds of steps together before they stopped for a while.

The banner was re-established, and everyone looked back, only to see that Zhou Tai's military formation was already difficult to maintain the posture of the phalanx, and countless Danyang soldiers were scattered in all directions, fighting bravely with the armored cavalry and light cavalry, and both sides were killed and wounded. But unexpectedly, there is still a force of about 1,000 people near the Zhou Tai banner, under the banner, a general is wearing heavy armor, and there are several arrows stuck in the armor, but he still holds a spear, raises a big shield, and personally rushes to kill in front, and the left and right are also shouting and obeying, and the blockers are invincible for a while!

Although his steps are slow, he moves forward step by step, never backing down...... No need to ask, this is naturally the Huainan Tiger General Zhou Youping!

Seeing this, Gongsun Xun was half sighing, half helpless, but he took the initiative to pull back again, and ordered by the way: "This time, leave the things on those pack horses to him!" ”

After Pang De and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they hurriedly threw down those 'precious arrows' and moved west again.

Standing up again, Gongsun Xun turned his head and saw that the subordinates on Zhou Tai's side fell off quickly, as if there were less than four or five hundred, but they still moved forward.

Not only that, Gongsun Xun saw with his own eyes that Zhou Tai's big shield had been lost at this time, and the spear was directly broken in the body of a Yan cavalry Qu Junhou within his field of vision, but he still fought forward with the ring sword.

As soon as he came back in front of him, he held down the spear, inserted a backhand knife into the neck, and then grabbed the spear forward!

A horse came from the flank, and before he arrived, he was bravely jumped up by a Danyang soldier, collided from the side through the shield, the knight fell off his horse, and the Danyang soldier was also reprimanded by the huge power of the war horse, and fell directly to the ground and disappeared.

The surrounding staff changed color one after another, and then instinctively looked at their own Yan Gong.

Gongsun Xun originally wanted to give an order, but suddenly saw that the other party had already killed in front of the pile of scattered arrows, and he was also a little patient and did not hurry back.

However, Zhou Youping came to those arrows bundled in a quiver, and after a little movement, after discovering the secret, he only froze slightly, and then he didn't care about it, and directly crossed those things, one step at a time, and continued to come towards the White Horse Banner.

Under the banner of the White Horse, the generals once again looked at their own Yan Gong.

And Gongsun Xun, as always, smiled slightly, but suddenly changed color, and became angry directly: "On the battlefield, it is normal for the cavalry to advance and retreat slightly, but it is only three things, how can the general flag of the lord of a country retreat more than three times?!" ”

The left and right were panicked for a while, but Gongsun Xun pulled out the broken blade again, pointed to Zhou Tai, who had come more than a hundred steps away, and could faintly see the blood on the other party's body, and ordered sharply: "Lone is here to silently recite hundreds, if you can't kill this person after hundreds, Lone will kill him personally!" ”

The officers in the surrounding righteous congregations did not dare to delay, and from Pang De down, dozens of officers rushed out one after another and went straight to Zhou Tai.

The fastest horse in the first place, of course, is Pang Lingming, who relied on the ugly horse under the crotch is extraordinary, looking at the opportunity, he actually accelerated temporarily, and with just one blow, he raised his spear and picked up the spear in the hand of Zhou Tai, who was actually a little exhausted!

He was followed by Wang Ling, who was naturally overjoyed when he saw Zhou Tai lose his weapon, so he also raised his spear to stab.

Zhou Tai didn't say a word, he directly dodged sideways on the ground, and held down the opponent's spear, and then twisted violently with his waist, and successfully grabbed the spear, not to mention, but he threw Wang Ling off the war horse directly!

Then, since the assault, Zhou Youping, who had hardly looked back, finally turned back, but regardless of the white horse generals who were densely surging from the west, he directly stabbed a spear into Wang Ling, who fell to the ground.

Gongsun Xun watched this scene from afar, but his eyelids jumped, and he inexplicably remembered the time when Cheng Pu rescued his husband and wife.

However, when Cheng Pu killed several cavalry Xianbei soldiers with his bare hands, a large number of Liaoxi Han cavalry reinforcements followed, and after Zhou Tai continuously killed the Yan army knights, more Yan army knights followed, and one was stronger than the other.

Ma Dai followed, and his people probably saw the power of the other party's empty-handed spear, so even if the other party had not turned around, he didn't dare to hold it up, a spear stabbed out, and after hitting Zhou Tai's armpit without armor protection, he let go, abandoned the spear and drew the knife, turned the horse, and rushed directly into the Danyang army array behind the opponent to slash and kill!

And Zhou Tai's shoulder was pierced, and the pain was unbearable for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, just knelt on one knee and borrowed strength, and struggled to pull out the spear through the armor, and the blood gushed like a spring.

However, at this moment, Ma Chao also came from a little distance, and he also struggled with a spear, but it was easily pierced on Zhou Youping's calf that was exposed because of his kneeling posture! Fu stabbed the other party who was just about to get up to the ground!

Immediately, his people did the same, and they also abandoned their spears and changed their knives, no matter what Zhou Tai was, they took their own knives and entered the Danyang army formation...... Behind Ma Chao, dozens of officers on white horses saw the two brothers behaving like this, and they all did the same, or knives or spears, but there were seven or eight successful horses, leaving Zhou Tai with extremely obvious injuries.

For a time, his shoulders, armpits, arms, calves, and necks were pierced and slashed by spears and knives, and he suffered no less than ten serious injuries. It's also hard!

In this situation, Gongsun Xun's originally angry face was temporarily retracted, and he seemed expressionless, but he held the blade in his hand, which also made the people around him more and more flustered, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, suddenly, a horse with a ring-headed knife came from the Danyang army to the west, with an awkward posture, but when the horse skipped Zhou Tai's side, it struggled sideways and stabbed sideways, connecting Zhou Youping's spear with his own head, and cut it in two.

It seemed that Zhou Tai, who was bleeding endlessly, had no head and no support, and finally fell to the ground. But at the same time, Tian Yu, who succeeded in succeeding, also fell off the horse directly!

However, under the stunned eyes of everyone, they saw that although Tian Guorang's helmet fell to the ground, he did not fall off the horse because his body was tied to the horse.

A moment later, Yicong, who came forward to rescue Tian Yu, returned to the White Horse with a frightened Tian Yu, and everyone found that the youngest 2,000-stone cavalry general in the army, Gongsun Xun's villager and protΓ©gΓ©, was directly disfigured - one of his ears was directly cut off by some bare blade on the ground.

It happened in front of everyone, the cause and effect were clear at a glance, and everyone had nothing to say.

However, Gongsun Xun, who had been looking at Zhou Tai's corpse in front of him and not moving, couldn't help but turn around, pointed to the battlefield full of stumps and broken arms in front of him, and said calmly to Jia Xu, Xun You, and Tian Yu and others who escaped death twice today:

"That's why Lone must choose to attack today and end this battle as soon as possible! Command the whole army for me, today I don't ask for Cao Cao's head, nor do I ask for any full merit, but the bow and arrow will be delivered immediately, and there are so many routs on the battlefield to drive away...... Before it gets dark, I'm going to see at least three more enemy formations break up! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line with a flat toneβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"It's a battle, Taizu set up 20,000 horses to shoot more than 20,000 rings, arrows are like rain, the southern army is all raising shields to hide, can't look up, only wait for the arrows to be exhausted. By the middle of the afternoon, the southern army was about to be defeated, and then the bow and arrow were exhausted, and the battle was raised to return to the north. When Taizu called the camp to send the arrows did not arrive, but secretly to the armor of the cavalry carried by the arrow to return to the gallop, the ring shot unchanged, the repeated war horses hundreds, the negative empty cylinder contained the soil inside, a little feather arrows on the top, shown in front of the battle. The southern army was tired, and the distant view was shaking, and the front army thought that it was inevitable, so they abandoned the formation and moved forward, and they were all strangled by armored cavalry. Xuan, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Xu Sheng, the three battalions were all broken, and the feather arrow had already crossed from Guandu, but it was not enough to force Cao's army. β€”The Dictionary. Yan.
