Chapter 363: A Night's Battle
"Yes..."
According to the requirements of the old man, four thousand shield soldiers were transferred.
These shield soldiers are the only mobile forces in the hands of the firm, and being transferred here to participate in the battle has weakened the encirclement of the entire battlefield, but in order to support Li Dian, they can only take a risk.
After the troops were transferred, they were all put into the battlefield.
From the south to the north, oppress the past.
Roar, roar, roar...
The shield-bearers marched forward with their shields, hammering continuously.
A roar attracted the attention of the enemy's chariots.
"Stop them!"
The generals of the Cao army, who commanded the chariots, urgently dispatched hundreds of chariots to drive away the stagnant shield soldiers.
Boom boom...
The shieldmen collide with a team of vehicles.
The shield overlapped and intertwined, laid diagonally on the road, and when the chariot rushed over, it was dragged up and overturned.
This is a skillful set of movements that cannot be achieved without months of training.
The 4,000 shield soldiers easily dealt with the rushing chariots, and then formed a shield array to resist the chariots in front of them and limit the range of their movements.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wolf Cavalry also began to counterattack.
Flank inside and outside to eliminate Cao's chariot.
Whew...
The Tyrannosaurus rex went to pursue the Cao army who fled to the West Mountain, but when it reached the front of the mountain, the enemy had already fled into the mountain, and its body was too big to enter, so it could only give up the pursuit and return to help Li Dian.
The three parties encircled and took the initiative on the battlefield.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the Cao army on the battlefield was annihilated.
But the joy of victory made Li Dian unhappy. He counted the casualties of the Wolf Cavalry. There are more than 400 soldiers left, and more than 1,300 wolves left. This is the highest number of casualties since the formation of the Wolf Cavalry.
"General Li Dian, the formation of the wolf cavalry army has been crippled, I suggest that you lead the army to rest outside the battlefield, and the battle here will be handed over to me." He said with a team of light horses.
"No, the lord didn't let me retreat."
Li Dian glanced at his subordinates and said, "Although the casualties are a bit large, my wolf cavalry army still has combat effectiveness. I'm going to take a break and go to meet the main guild. ”
He Gu said: "General Li, you can think about it. There are more than 1,000 wolf cavalry left, and if they fight again, there is a danger that the whole army will be wiped out. ”
"I'm going to do whatever it takes to win this battle."
Li Dian is determined.
Yu Gu nodded and said, "Okay, I will fully support you." I have five thousand troops at my disposal. But these 5,000 people can only help in the war. Once Cao's army is defeated, all my troops will be withdrawn to consolidate the encirclement on the outer front. ”
"Thank you..."
Yu Gu discussed the next battle with Li Dian.
With more than 1,000 wolf horsemen as the main force in the vanguard, and nearly 5,000 shield soldiers and archers as auxiliaries, they are ready to attack the enemy again at any time.
.............
Yuan Xi and the Wind God Pterodactyl circled around the surrounding mountains. It was Yuan Xi who discovered Cao Cao's location and talked with Cao Cao for a while, but the result of the conversation was not ideal, and only the battle could solve it.
Return to Langu and Li Dian.
The sun has risen in the sky.
Yuan Xi said: "After fighting all night, the soldiers were very tired. Let them rest and have something to eat. Wait until noon, and then attack the North Mountain. In addition, our army should be adjusted slightly, and the wolf cavalry should not participate in the war again. ”
"Lord, if the wolf cavalry does not participate in the war, who will fight the main attack?" Li Dian asked.
Yuan Xi said: "The next battle is a highland battle, and your wolf cavalry will not play a big role." Let's step back and rest. From the Langgu army, 5,000 elites will be transferred to attack Beishan, and I will mobilize all the giant beasts to assist, and it will not be difficult to win. ”
Enter a newly built tent.
The generals stood on both sides.
Yuan Xi pulled up the map and said, "Just an hour ago, I received two pieces of news. One is Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride, which has passed through Xuzhou's Peiguo, and according to the speed of tiger and leopard riding, he will be able to rush here within two hours. Ladies and gentlemen, the Tiger and Par Rider is a real elite, and he is different from other Cao troops... ”
"Hmph, if my wolf cavalry army is not reduced, I will definitely be able to defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry!" Li Dian said.
"Man Cheng, are you sure that the wolf cavalry can defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry?" Yuan Xi smiled and shook his head.
"Don't you believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that the facts are in front of you. I won't hide it from you, Zhang Jaw's vanguard battalion has fought several decisive battles with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the past month, and each time it ended in Zhang Jaw's defeat. The last time, there were more than 4,000 light horsemen to help in the battle, but they still could not win. Now the tiger and leopard ride, there are more than 2,000 people, they are well-equipped and full of fighting spirit, I think... Even if the wolf cavalry army did not attrition, it would not be so easy to defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry. Because the strength of the wolf cavalry is that it is good at mountain warfare, and the skills of real field warfare are not very strong. In a sense, it's not as good as a tiger and a leopard. Yuan Xi said.
"Jaw Opens was defeated..."
The generals present whispered.
"Zhang Jaw is the general of my Hebei Army, his defeat will not affect the morale of the army, right?" Li Dian said.
"No, it won't. I am still confident in this. Yuan Xi retracted the topic and continued: "The second news I received was good news. Chang'an's Yan Liang and Ma Chao live up to my expectations. They occupied Huayin, Shangluo, Tongguan, and Wuguan, and drove Cao Ren to Nanyang County in Jingzhou. Although he can still block Yan Liang and Ma Chao, it is impossible for him to win again, because the army is insufficient, and he is fighting on the plains, how can he stop Xiliang Xiaoqi. According to my estimates, in less than half a month, there will be 100,000 iron horsemen who will go out along the Wuguan Pass and enter the Central Plains. It's a huge boost for us. ”
"Okay..."
Yu Guxi said: "When the Xiliang army arrives in the Central Plains, Cao Cao has nothing to do. From Wuguan to Nanyang Wancheng, and then around to Xuchang, Yuzhou, the journey is not far, and Cao Cao's capital will face a big war. ”
Li Dian was also very excited: "Once Xuchang is lost, Cao Cao will go." ”
"This is the end of the fantasy, let's think about how to win the battle in front of us." Yuan Xi sat down with a smile, looked at Hao Gu and said: "Wait for the next battle, you still have to face Xu Chu's Tiger Guard, in my opinion, the strength of the Tiger Guard, although it is not as good as Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Ride, but it cannot be ignored." You have to be prepared for a tough battle. ”
"Haven't the Tiger Guards been wiped out yet?" "The last general heard that at the beginning of the battle, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to fight against the wolf cavalry army, and fought all night, it should be seriously reduced, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Li Dian clenched his fists and said: "My lord, Xu Chu's Tiger Guards have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and even Xu Chu has been injured, and he has no combat effectiveness. The Lord can rest assured. ”
"Really?" Yuan Xi was surprised.
Among all the Cao troops, it belongs to Xu Chu's Tiger Guards, who are elite soldiers, and the others are all local chickens and dogs. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, there is a possibility of a rush to disperse. As long as the Tiger Guards lose their combat effectiveness, the next battle will be much easier.
