Chapter 170: Cao Xing vs. Battle Elephant
After the cavalry Cao army arrived, Cao "Xing" handed over the captives to the other party, leaving several Cao soldiers to guard, waiting for the follow-up foot soldiers, leading the rest of the cavalry Cao army, riding horses again to speed up, and rushing to the distance Another group of gathered occupants.
The cavalry drove away the defeated foot soldiers, and the effect was the most obvious, as soon as the occupying rout was assembled, Cao "Xing" led the horse Cao army and scattered it.
After the Cao army's 5,000 regular infantry soldiers arrived, with a tight formation and tacit understanding of the long and short weapons, the attack seemed to cover a wide area and the number of people was larger.
More than 10,000 people occupy people, and the formation is loose, so when it comes into contact with the 5,000 Cao army, it is faced with a situation in which the Cao army fights more and less.
Yes, it was Cao's army that fought more and less, the two armies fought, no matter how many people fought, they were not lined up, the area of contact between people in battle was limited, and the battle was often only the outermost, and it was still frontal, and more soldiers were in the back, except for acting as a substitute and helping to cheer up, it had no effect.
Just like the width of a hundred paces in battle, Cao's army was in a tight formation, standing with one hundred and twenty people, and there were one hundred and twenty people behind them, who could be "inserted" into the air with long and short weapons to help.
The occupation of the soldiers was loosely formed, a hundred paces wide, and only fifty people were standing, and there were many people behind them, but they couldn't help much, just the great god roared.
Therefore, it was two hundred and forty and fifty men fighting.
Of course, this is a metaphor, the width of the engagement is not just a hundred paces wide, and the number of combatants is not just two or three hundred, but more and wider.
The battle between the two armies is not a street gangster fight, just rush up in a swarm, and the important "sex" of the formation is extremely important.
5,000 against more than 10,000, but the occupants were killed and retreated, with huge casualties, while Cao's army basically did not suffer casualties.
More than 1,000 defeated troops of the Zhan people were "chaotic" in the army, and the chaos and "chaos" created caused the Zhan people to quickly have a "commotion".
"Husband! We're going to win! Bao Sanniang's wheat face was tired, her body was stained with blood, and she had already stabbed several people, she lost her initial nervousness, and said excitedly to Cao "sex".
Cao "Sex" smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's still early!" Look behind the occupying army! ”
Bao Sanniang raised her eyes and saw eleven war elephants, like fierce beasts in the wilderness, rushing here with an incomparable aura.
"Ang~"
The howl of the war elephant, like a stimulant, pierced into the hearts of the soldiers, forgot about the casualties for a while, raised the rudimentary weapons, and killed the Cao army formation.
In the face of spears, hook and sickles, spears, swords and shields, they soon died on the way to charge, and the blood aroused by the war elephants quickly cooled down, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack again, so they changed to defense.
The pace of Cao's attack did not stop, maintaining the distance of Zhangyu, so that the two-zhang long spear and the Zhangyu-long hook and sickle could just hit the Zhanren, once there was a counterattack by the Zhanren, and the distance was narrowed, then there was a Zhangxu's spear waiting for him, and then there was a sword and shield.
"'Shot'~"
In the Cao army, the military attache commanded an order, and the last archer, from the gap in the shoulders of the former army Cao Jun, "shot" into the occupying camp with a flat "shot", but a few steps of direct "shooting", occupying a lot of people, the predecessors dodged, and the descendants were hit by arrows, and the score was significant for a while.
"Ang~"
Hundreds of people fell, and the elephant cavalry finally arrived here from the attack on Cao Ying.
The Zhan people hurriedly gave way, the war elephants began to run, and Cao Jun's foot soldiers were no longer as cold as just now, and their faces became nervous.
"Poof~"
The war horse snorted and became anxious, Cao "sex" stroked and "touched" the jujube red horse that was sitting down, and the approach of the war elephant made the war horse very frightened.
Cao Junjun's heart was shaken, his morale dropped greatly, and he was frightened by the intimidation of the war elephants, and his palms were sweating, and he was nervous.
Cao "sex" saw it in his eyes, and carefully observed the war horse sitting down, only to see that the war horse snorted, but it was not like the surrounding war horses, his legs and feet trembled, his eyes were wary, but the fear was not deep.
"If you are worthy of sweat and blood, then this mission to create a myth will take you with you!"
Cao "sex" said softly to the head of the jujube red "color" war horse, as if he was a friend.
In the Tiger and Leopard Righteousness, the Tiger Horse mount is a high war horse with strong sprint power in Xiliang and Dawan, focusing on armor and long-range attacks with javelins.
Putting away all the Heaven Opening Axe and bow and arrows, Cao "Sex" understated it and removed the outermost layer of fish scale armor.
"Bang~"
The fish scale armor fell to the ground, making a piercing metal collision sound, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust, Bao Sanniang's eyes widened, and her small mouth opened very wide at this time: "Husband, how much does this armor weigh?" ”
"The first piece is three thousand and eighty, and it weighs one hundred and eight pounds!"
Cao "sex" explained, this iron armor, since it has been owned, except for sleeping, never left the body, and it is a little untouchable, and it has been taken off at this moment, as if it is relaxed, and the previous fatigue has been swept away.
Bao Sanniang's eyes were like copper bells, and she couldn't imagine that a person could wear a hundred-pound iron armor and fight for several hours.
No matter how Bao Sanniang reacted, Cao "sex" then removed the chain mail that was "exposed" outside, and was still on the ground, without waiting for Bao Sanniang to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Thirty-six catties." ”
After removing the chain mail, Cao "Xing" put the robe on his body again, covering the silk inner armor inlaid with gold wire.
The catties here are Han catties, and one catty is about 230 grams, which is equivalent to Cao's "sex" carrying more than 66 catties of weight every day.
Cao Xing, who felt full of strength, looked at a tiger rider next to him: "Brother, how about giving me your javelin?" ”
"No!" The tiger rider commander hurriedly took off the javelin belt on his back and handed it to Cao Xing.
There are a total of eight javelins in the javelin belt, put the javelin belt on his back, pull out one and start his hand, and "touch" the blade of the gun that has been practiced for dozens of years: "The sharpness is okay, help me clean up the iron armor, and I will meet this huge Roshan sometime!" ”
Cao "sex" held a javelin in his hand, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, the jujube red "color" war horse understood, sighed the neighing of the law, suppressed the inner uneasiness, ran, and rushed to the war elephant along the road vacated by the war elephant cavalry.
One weighed several tons, one weighed less than a ton, weighed several times as much, one was one and a half feet tall at the shoulders, and the other was eight feet high, and he was several times his height, one had a rattan frame on his back and sat three people, and one had a saddle on his back, and he was several times as many people as he fought.
Cao "Xing" rode the usually tall and unusually tall jujube red war horse, and facing the huge war elephant at this moment, it was like a pocket man meeting a giant, and his momentum was more than a little weaker.
The war elephant not only has a huge body as a means of attack, but also has a short knife tied to the slender and white tusks, which makes the attack even more effective.
The war elephant shook like the proboscis of an iron whip, the big ears of the fan stirred, and the elephant's head swayed, causing the tusks tied with short knives to swing back and forth.
