Chapter 778: Fatal Blow

When more than a dozen heads were poked on spears and sent to the front of the battle, the county soldiers led by Xu Gong collapsed. Some people recognized these heads, they were all disciples or generals around Xu Gong, relying on Xu Gong's power, they were usually invincible, but now they were beheaded to show the public.

The two sides fought for more than an hour, Sun Cejun won every attack, and Xu Gong also tried to counterattack, but he was bled in front of Sun Cejun's tight defense, and he didn't take advantage of it at all. Although the casualties were not very large, the blow to morale was very fatal. Seeing that the opponent's attack is all-encompassing, and the code is seamless, anyone will feel hopeless. After fighting for a long time, looking at it, the positions between the two armies were full of their comrades-in-arms, and the losses of the other side were insignificant, almost negligible, who could have the courage to fight again.

Now it was discovered that Xu Gong's cronies had been cut down, and the last straw finally crushed the morale of the county soldiers. Shouldn't these people stay by Xu Gong's side and wait for the final attack, why did they die before the fight was over? More than 10,000 county soldiers, hundreds of steps within a radius of the large array, the front-line soldiers did not know what happened to the Chinese army, and thought that the Chinese army had been ended, and they looked back one after another.

Shen You, who had been waiting patiently, discovered the long-awaited fighter and immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

Under the command of the sound of war drums, the 1,000 soldiers in the front formation attacked forward under the personal command of Guo Jun, with Qu as a unit, Qu Chang rushed to kill in front, and two hundred soldiers followed closely behind, attacking the other party, although the attack speed was not very fast, but the momentum was enough to make the county soldiers frightened. It's already a headache to attack with one song, not to mention that five songs attack at the same time. The soldiers on both wings also squeezed forward, straight into the two wings of the soldiers of Wu County, with a posture of encircling and annihilating the opponent.

But it was Ma Chao who was the first to engage with the opponent.

Shicheng pursued and was ambushed, Ma Chao suffered heavy losses, only more than 30 people were left in 100 fine horses, and more than 10 war horses, suffering a big loss. Later, the war horses were made up, but Ma Chao did not dare to mess around again, and this time he strictly abided by discipline in the battle and stood by under the stage of the Chinese army generals. At the beginning of the counterattack, he turned on his horse, led Pang De and others through between the two battalions, and took the lead in killing the Wu Junjun soldiers on the opposite side.

Seeing that the opposite side was fully pressed, the soldiers of Wu County were already in chaos, and they were thinking about whether to escape and how to escape, but they didn't expect that there would be cavalry. More than 300 steps, for the galloping war horse, it was just a matter of an eye, and when they reacted, Ma Chao and the others had already passed through the gap between the front army and the left army, directly entered the Chinese army, and went straight to Xu Gong.

Xu Gong stood on the platform, watching more than 30 horsemen galloping, passing through his position, as if entering a no-man's land, killing in front of him, his mind was blank. His most trusted subordinates and disciples were all sent by him to attack Tiger Hill, and there were only private county soldiers behind him. These county soldiers were well equipped and had better combat effectiveness than ordinary county soldiers, but they were unprepared for the sudden appearance of the cavalry, and stupidly watched the cavalry rush to them.

Ma Chao shouted, riding the horse in front of the county soldiers, although there was no direct impact, but the huge body of the war horse rushed to the face, quickly enlarged, the soil and grass clippings kicked by the horse's hooves hit the face of the county soldiers, the rapid sound of the horse's hooves hit their eardrums, the big hooves of the bowl seemed to kick in their faces in the next moment, for the county soldiers who had not seen the cavalry assault, this shock could not be described in words, not to mention the rain of arrows and the short spear.

"Poof!" The arrow hit the body, and blood splattered. The short spear pierced the shield and pierced through the body, sending the soldiers to the ground with all their strength, and let out a cry of despair. There was an irrepressible panic in the originally not strict formation, and many people instinctively chose to avoid the horses that were galloping wildly.

Ma Chao and Pang De quickly seized the opportunity, rushed into the formation, and stabbed the fleeing county soldiers with their long spears, further expanding the panic.

Seeing that one by one companions were knocked away by the horses, and their bodies were pierced by spears, floating up like paper kites, the county soldiers were completely panicked, turned around and ran, avoiding them.

Ma Chao and Pang De quickly rushed forward, galloped on horseback, and trampled on it wantonly. After holding it for so long, this evil breath finally has a chance to vent.

Although there are only more than 30 horsemen, but the county soldiers have collapsed, even if someone wants to launch a counterattack, only personal strength can not resist the galloping cavalry head-on, quickly defeated, screams one after another, the county soldiers are like a group of panicked sheep, being driven everywhere, the sound of horses' hooves is the drum, no one dares to stop, let alone resist.

Xu Gong knew that the general trend was gone, so he didn't dare to fight, jumped off the general's platform, and wanted to escape from the battlefield under the protection of the only few doormen. But Ma Chao came for him, always paying attention to his movements, and seeing that he wanted to escape, he immediately turned his horse's head and chased after him.

"Ling Ming, cover me!" The horse shouted loudly, hung his spear in the saddle, took off his bow, and mounted his arrow.

"Whoa!" Pang De kicked the war horse fiercely, rushed to the left front of Ma Chao, and danced his spear to pick and kill the enemy who might be in front of Ma Chao. Ma Chao stared at Xu Gong in the distance, took a slight aim, let go of the string, and then took the arrow again, and shot another arrow.

Two arrows departed from the string, one after the other, and hit Xu Gong, entering from the back and exiting from the chest. Xu Gong's body ached, he lowered his head, and looked at the two arrows that suddenly appeared, his mind was blank. He turned, glanced at the cavalry who had already rushed behind him, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell on his back.

Pang De slapped his horse and arrived, picked up Xu Gong with a spear, and sent it to Ma Chao. Ma Chao retracted his bow, drew his knife, and cut off Xu Gong's head with a volley, Pang De shook his hand and shook off Xu Gong's body, and then stabbed Xu Gong's head flying in mid-air at the head of the spear and raised it high.

A knight leaped up from his galloping horse, jumped onto the platform, cut the rope with a single sword, tore off Xu Gong's banner, and then kicked the drummer away, snatched the drum, and struck the gong with all his might.

"Dangdang! Dangdang! The crisp sound of the gong attracts countless eyes. Seeing that the banner of the Chinese army was gone, the county soldiers completely collapsed. Without being driven away by Ma Chao, they spread their legs and fled in all directions.

Ma Chao and Pang De pursued on horseback, specially picking generals with different armor and armor from ordinary county soldiers, shooting arrows from afar, and spears from near, and succeeding one after another. Chasing the dead and chasing the north was originally the cavalry's forte, especially in the face of the defeated foot soldiers, this battle was fought happily, and the grievances of the past few days were swept away.

Especially when I saw Yan Xing's battle flag appear.

Ma Chao rode his horse to Yan Xing and laughed loudly. "Yanming, you're late, Xu Gong has already given the head."

Yan Xing looked at Ma Chao, smiled slightly, and arched his hand. "Congratulations to Meng for his meritorious service. The general's righteous cavalry is still a hundred generals, and I have been waiting for you for a long time. ”
