Chapter 366: Riding Alone
Cao Ren, Sima Yi and the generals in the army gathered together to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, and the armies of all sides had begun to gather in this direction, but when they thought of the crossbow arrows of Xinye City, everyone had a feeling of numbness in their scalps.
"General, it's better to order the craftsmen to make more tricks, and you can escort the soldiers to the city!" A general said.
It is a four-wheeled bottomless wooden cart with a cowhide roof to resist the arrows in the city, which is very strong, and a cart can protect about ten people.
"Where do you get all those cowhides?" Hearing this, the other general shook his head, the chariot can indeed block the arrows, but it needs a lot of cowhide.
"You can do without cowhide, lay bamboo chips on it, and cover it with two more layers of wooden boards." Another military general pondered, now that the status of this craftsman industry is rising, everyone has also begun to think about how to improve the siege equipment to attack the city, since the cowhide is not good, then use solid wood to build.
Cao Ren didn't speak, his eyes looked at Sima Yi who was sitting down, and he found that although this Sima Yi was like a stuffy jar on weekdays, every time he spoke, he could pinch the point, which may not sound good, but it must be practical.
"Zhongda, what do you think?" Cao Ren looked at Sima Yi and said.
"Back to the general, of course, the chariot can block the crossbow arrows, but at the moment Guan Yu, Wu Ban, Zhang Yi and other troops are already around Xinye, if they are attacking the city now, I am afraid that they will be surrounded by Guan Yu and Wu Ban's troops, it is better to wait for the arrival of the army of King Wei and then discuss." Sima Yi bowed and said.
With the arrival of Guan Yu, Wu Ban and other troops, Cao Ren's advantage in military strength was gone, coupled with the low morale and morale of the army, if he was forced to fight at this time, the chances of victory were slim.
Cao Ren nodded when he heard this, the truth is indeed the truth, especially the arrival of Guan Yu, which made Cao Ren a little stunned, but now that his morale is low, he needs a victory to boost his morale, if he can let Liu Yi go out of the city to fight, it would be the best.
"Newspaper~"
Just when Cao Ren decided to follow Sima Yi's advice and close the door, he saw a general rushing into the account, bowed down and said, "General, Guan Yu led the army to call for battle outside the camp!" ”
Cao Ren: "......"
What I want is Liu Yi, not Guan Yu!
"Don't bother!" Cao Ren sighed and waved his hand.
Fighting with Guan Yu, he didn't have much confidence, although Guan Yu had few soldiers, but Guan Yu who appeared on the battlefield this time was extremely terrifying, obviously there were not many people, but he was pressing Cao Jun to fight, the last time Cao Xiu met, he was almost killed by Guan Yu into the army and took off his head.
"Whoa!" The general bowed down and said yes, and left.
Cao Ren frowned and said, "When will the army of King Wei arrive?" ”
"The road is difficult to travel now, and it may take five days at the earliest." Sima Yi bowed and said.
"Five days?" Cao Ren nodded, this speed is not slow, Cao Xiu and other troops and horses can also converge within these five days.
Outside the camp, there was a terrible scream, Cao Ren suddenly got up, he was a veteran on the battlefield, and he could naturally hear that this miserable howl was actually sounded in the camp, at this time...... Could it be that Guan Yu really dared to storm the camp?
"What happened?" Cao Ren said a little irritably, today doesn't seem to be a peaceful day.
"General Hui, Guan Yu is releasing arrows outside the camp!" A general rushed in in embarrassment.
I almost forgot about this stubble!
Cao Ren rubbed his temples with a little headache, the range of the Jingzhou army's bow and arrow far exceeded that of the Cao army, the other party could shoot arrows in, but his own archers were difficult to shoot at the enemy, it was too special!
With a gloomy face, he hung the sword on his waist, Cao Ren didn't say a word, strode out, and at the same time ordered: "Pass my military order, go out of the camp and strangle Guan Yu!" ”
If he didn't give Guan Yu an unforgettable lesson, he really thought that he was muddy.
Sima Yi wanted to dissuade him, but now that he has been bullied by the enemy to his doorstep, who can bear it? Cao Ren could only be allowed to wear armor and take all the soldiers out of the camp.
Guan Yu did not continue after three rounds of arrow clusters were shot into Cao Jun's camp in succession, after all, there were not many arrow clusters that came out this time, in fact, this practice is a bit wasteful, the arrow clusters were shot into Cao Jun's camp, the ghost knows where they went, and those arrow clusters are all produced by Tiangongfang, this thing does not have the function of recognizing the owner, anyone can use it in their hands, and put it in Cao Jun's hands, it can also play an effect, and Guan Yu can't do this kind of thing of sending arrows for nothing.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the camp, and the two cavalry teams came out from both sides, circling to both sides of Guan Yu's army, Cao Ren personally led the army out of the camp, and when he saw Guan Yu from a distance, he scolded: "Red-faced thief, deceive people too much!" ”
As he spoke, the shield bearers in the front row had already lined up, protecting the army in the rear and killing Guan Yu.
The silkworm raised his eyebrows, Guan Yu squinted and looked at the opponent's army formation, there were not many cavalry on both sides, they were all five hundred people, but if they were left unattended, they would clash back and forth, and their own army formation would be chaotic.
"Formation!"
Guan Yu did not attack, and with an order, more than 2,000 people under his command quickly formed a circular formation, Guan Yu immediately crossed the knife, holding the Qinglong Glaive Knife newly built by Liu Yi to help him, and ordered Liao Hua to hold the position, and the opportunity to ride out lightly and rush straight towards a cavalry.
The leading Cao army cavalry saw Guan Yu coming single-handedly, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly waved his troops to meet him, no matter how powerful Guan Yu was, it was impossible for him to defeat five hundred men and horses with the strength of one person.
The red rabbit horse is old, but whether it is explosive or powerful, it is far beyond the ordinary war horse, under the drive of Guan Yu, the red rabbit is not fast, seeing that the other party is less than fifty steps away from him, Guan Yu suddenly knocked his legs on the horse's belly, the red rabbit horse and Guan Yu have cooperated for many years, and have already developed a tacit understanding with the master, and suddenly accelerated in an instant, looking from a distance, like a red and green afterimage drifting by, the target is directly aimed at the cavalry general.
The cold killing machine was spreading, and the cavalry general suddenly froze, instinctively wanting to avoid it, but at this moment, both sides had soared their speed to the limit, where is it said that avoiding can be avoided?
Almost at the moment of losing his mind, Guan Yu had already killed.
Cao Cao's cavalry is not casually trained, most of these cavalry are killed from the northern battlefield, Cao Cao suppressed Wuhuan over the years, shocked the northern Xinjiang, the hardships of the process can not be summed up in one fell swoop, can serve as a cavalry under Cao Cao, are the elite who survived a hundred battles, but even if it is such an army, when Guan Yu single-handedly kills, there is still a feeling of palpitations.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the rider immediately mustered up his courage and roared angrily towards Guan Yu.
"Ang~"
The Qinglong Glaive Knife left a cyan afterimage in the air, faintly, the cavalry general seemed to hear a dragon groan, and the next moment, his arms were light, and the whole world spun in sight, but the weapon in his hand was cut off by Guan Yu so neatly, and the blade swept directly across the neck and cut off the head.
A knife to kill the enemy general, the back of the knife of the Qinglong Yanyue knife will be stabbed in the face of the weapon smashed, the red rabbit horse crashed into the enemy formation with a brutal attitude, there is a horse harness specially built by Liu Yi on the horse's head, and the enemy's horse head was smashed fiercely, the Qinglong Yanyue knife also returned to the force, the green mang flickered, a knife cloud protected the body, where it passed, people turned over on their backs, five hundred people rode in formation, and were actually cut by Guan Yu thirteen Cao Jun, and the Cao Army who was tripped by their own soldiers and submerged in the cavalry formation is countless.
"Sigh Rhythm~" The red rabbit horse man stood up, Guan Yu flicked the long knife, and the blood fell down the blade, forming a blood line on the ground.
The green dragon engraved on the blade of the knife, after drinking blood at this moment, became more and more demonic, as if it wanted to come back to life.
The cavalry of the Cao army lost their main general, and they were even more intimidated by Guan Yu's courage to break into battle with a single sword, and after passing by Guan Yu on the wrong horse, they were directly scattered, and many of them were directly killed by the crossbowmen in the shield array with crossbow arrows.
"This person is so brave that he is so brave!?" Sima Yi, who followed Cao Ren out to watch the battle, was also shocked, and he had heard that Guan Yu had the courage of ten thousand people, but when he saw Guan Yu charging into battle alone and capturing the flag in the chaos, he still had an unspeakable horror.
Guan Yu defeated a cavalry, but did not return to his own formation, but after a moment of standing in place, he directly urged his horse to meet another cavalry.
"Arrogance!" Seeing this, Cao Ren narrowed his eyes, as the commander of the first army, he was so risky, and he actually lost to such people?
At that moment, he ordered someone to blow the horn, and the cavalry that had not yet returned to the battle began to gather towards Guan Yu, and he didn't do anything today, as long as he could encircle and kill Guan Yu, he would lose all the thousand cavalry, and he would also make money.
"Shoot the arrows!" Liao Hua saw that Cao's army was a little loose, and immediately shouted an order, and the five hundred archers aimed the arrows at the area where Cao Ren was and released the bowstring in their hands.
"Hum~"
The not dense cluster of arrows fell towards Cao Ren's location, Cao Ren saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly picked up the big shield hanging on the horse's back, turned over and dismounted, and pulled Sima Yi behind the war horse together.
"Bang~"
An arrow cluster fell on the shield, and the shield made of solid wood was actually pierced by the sharp arrow, and the cold arrow cluster stopped less than half a foot away from Sima Yi's eyebrows, and the tip of the arrow was still trembling slightly, and Sima Yi could clearly see a thin groove on the blade of the sword.
Cold sweat soaked the clothes behind Sima Yi's back in an instant, and Cao Ren's war horse was pierced through the body by three sharp arrows one after another, screaming miserably, falling down, and almost crushing the two under the horse.
Damn it!
Cao Ren gritted his teeth, this was not the first time he had been bullied by the other party with a bow and arrow range, seeing that there was no danger, he hurriedly called the shield bearers to gather and protect the surroundings, while staring at Guan Yu's side with his eyes.
Looking at the cavalry coming from the encirclement, the corners of Guan Yu's mouth flashed with a touch of mockery and disdain, and he slowly raised his broadsword, behind him, the shield array of the Jingzhou army suddenly opened, and a row of crossbowmen appeared in everyone's sight.
"Not good!"
Cao Ren's heart sank, and he saw that those crossbowmen buckled their heads, and one by one the crossbow arrows fell in the cavalry array, bringing up pieces of blood flowers, and in the terrible neighing sound, the cavalry who rushed up fell to the ground, and the most terrible thing was that those crossbows were repeaters!
Watching the crossbow shoot crossbow arrows one after another, shooting the cavalry that had gathered, Cao Ren reacted at this time, that Guan Yu was clearly using his body as bait to gather the cavalry in one place for annihilation!
It's just that at this time, it's a little late to give orders!
