Volume 3 Discussion of Dong Chao World Chapter 20 The Battle of Bianshui (2)
"The cavalry obeys the order and cuts off the horse's legs!" After Xiahoudun saw the terrifying combat power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he originally planned to repel Xiliang to collect the soldiers and horses to strengthen Cao Cao's army, but he did not dare to have any reservations, and used the art of war horses that was originally used as a backup in advance.
"Drive!" After listening to the order, the cavalry under the command of Xiahoudun showed extraordinary riding skills, fell sideways on the side of the horse, shouted loudly, raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed at the Xiliang cavalry. Hundreds of Xiliang iron horsemen who were caught off guard fell off their horses in an instant, and many were trampled to death by the galloping war horses. However, the ferocity of the Xiliang warriors made Xiahou stunned.
The Xiliang soldiers who survived the fall from the horse, although their armor was scattered and their capes were scattered, they looked extremely embarrassed. But looking closely at the bloodthirsty gaze in his eyes, he could feel the hatred in the hearts of the Xiliang soldiers.
With an angry shout, the Xiliang soldiers grabbed the Xiahoudun cavalry soldiers who passed by, took advantage of the situation to turn over their horses, and fought with the Xiahoudun soldiers on horseback; Or raise the long knife in his hand that did not fall, and stab it fiercely at the cavalry that crashed into him, and died with the Xiahoudun cavalry. In an instant, on the battlefield, limbs flew horizontally, and almost no corpses were visible. Even the soldiers who were alive, whether they were friends or enemies, were affected by the bloody and brutal scene in front of them, and they fought for their lives against the enemy army.
The archer camp behind the spear and shield array did not have much effect in such a melee. Xiahou Yuan, who was anxious for his brother's comfort, asked the archers to put down their longbows, draw their long knives, and join the chaotic battlefield, engaging Dong Jun in close combat.
"Brother! Feeling okay? ”
Xiahou Yuan worked hard to find Xiahou Yuan's location among the enemy army, and seeing Xiahou Yuan's appearance made Xiahou Yuan worried. Xiahoudun was forced off his horse by the fierce Xiliang cavalry, and fought on foot in the battlefield for nearly half an hour. Xiahoudun was covered in blood, both enemies and his own. Xiahou Yuan kicked his breath, turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan who was running towards him with a little effort, and grinned.
"Miaocai doesn't have to worry, he can still kill the enemy for his brother!" With Xiahou Yuan's help, Xiahoudun struggled to resist the enemy's attack while acting extremely relaxed. But the two have been together for many years, how can Xiahou Yuan not see that his brother is at the end of his strong crossbow?
"Brother, don't be reckless!" Xiahou Yuan slashed the Xiliang cavalry that swept by his side to the ground with a sword, and said: "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really good, I am afraid that I will not be defeated today, and my brother needs to save his strength to protect the lord!" ”
Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood the intention of Xiahouyuan's words, so he didn't say more, and shouted: "Break through the siege and protect the general!" ”
"Kill!" The few remaining guards on Xiahou Yuan's side, plus the combined forces of the guards that Xiahou Yuan rushed in, under the leadership of the two, fought hard to break through to Cao Cao's place.
"Zixiao! Quickly lead the troops to rescue Yuan Rang and Miaocai! Cao Cao saw the battlefield situation in the rear of the army, and he no longer had the idea of being able to defeat the Xiliang soldiers in his heart, and he was even more worried about Xiahou and the others.
"The lord must not, but the duty of benevolence is to protect the lord and comfort him. General Xiahou is brave and extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to break through! Although Cao Ren, who was beside Cao Cao, was also worried about the safety of Xiahou and the others, Cao Cao's life was more important. In such a situation, it was impossible for Cao Ren to leave Cao Cao's body.
"Confused! Zixiao doesn't know my martial arts? Cao Cao roared angrily: "No matter how elite the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are, I still have more than a thousand personal guards." Cao Ren listened to the order and immediately rescued Xiahou and the others, and the violators were dealt with by military law! ”
Seeing that Cao Cao was angry, Cao Ren wanted to speak and stopped, and finally had to sigh and take the order: "No!" ”
Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao and others frequently mobilized troops and horses, allowing Xu Rong to easily find the position of the general in front of the battle. After Xu Rong saw the figures of Xiahou and the others in the army, his face was excited and fierce, and he led the guards close to Xiahou and the others, and rushed over with his horse, shouting loudly: "Rebel general! Take your life! ”
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, who were panicked to break through, heard the roar from behind, and a burst of killing intent instantly rushed between the backs and necks of the two, and the chill rushed to the top. The two of them hurriedly turned around in a panic, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they had to put the knife and gun in their hands in front of them, ready to take the fatal blow from the sneak attack behind them.
"Shameless thief, repair the life of this general's brother!" Cao Ren, who arrived in time, saw that Xiahou and the others were in danger, so he rode his horse and sped up, and slashed before Xu Rong's long knife was about to slash into the weapons of the two, which could provoke a ferocious killing momentum.
"The two armies face each other, only winners and losers!" Xu Rong, who was shaken away, steadied his trembling right hand, looked at the handsome man in front of him with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Who is you?" ”
"Cao Qidu, Peiguo Cao Ren!"
Cao Ren replied loudly, looking at Xu Rong with the same solemn face. At the same time, he glanced at the slightly embarrassed Xiahou and the two, and signaled the two to retreat quickly. Seeing this, Xu Rong frowned, but he did not stop it, and shouted: "I am the general of the imperial court, Xuan Rong is also!" Can the rebel generals dare to fight? ”
"Hahaha... It's ridiculous that a thief shouts as a thief! Cao Ren lightly lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse's head was aimed at Xu Rong's direction, and laughed contemptuously.
"Humph! We are battlefield generals, and the benefits of our tongues have not weakened our momentum? Do you dare to fight? ”
"Why don't you dare?"
Cao Ren said that, the two tacitly understood at the same time to pat the horse, and at the same time shouted loudly to kill the hedge. "Kill!" "Kill!" The main general was about to fight, and the two personal guards were not idle, following the two and shouting to kill. The soldiers on both sides also had a tacit understanding, and they unanimously retreated a little back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, giving way to a large battlefield.
In an instant, the battlefield loyals seemed to be isolated for dozens of kilometers, leaving Xu Rong, Cao Ren and their personal guards hundreds of people, and you fought to the death.
Both of them are famous families, not only proficient in the art of war, but also first-class in martial arts. Moreover, both of them are proficient in knife skills, and they are even more inseparable. You stab me to block, you chop me to pick, the two of them passed no less than 100 moves at a very fast speed within half an hour. The iron long knives in the hands of the two were overwhelmed, and with the help of their own guards, the long knives had been replaced twice.
Even if the most brave generals and personal guards can fight inseparably, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the periphery against Cao Cao's soldiers and horses is like a massacre, so that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are killed and injured countless times, and the balance of the battlefield is extremely quickly tilted towards the side of the Xiliang soldiers.
"Zixiao, don't fall in love with war!" Although Cao Ren was not disadvantaged, Cao Cao, who was not too far away, still couldn't hold back his worry about the situation, and shouted loudly, reminding Cao Ren that it was time to break through. Unexpectedly, Xu Rong, who was still in full swing, heard about it. With a hard fight, Xu Rong forced Cao Ren away and looked towards the place where he spoke, which made Xu Rong extremely excited.
It's Cao Cao! When Dong Zhuo entered and exited Beijing, Xu Rong had seen Cao Cao, who was famous in Luoyang, many times, and Xu Rong, who was looking at him, saw Cao Cao's appearance at a glance.
"The whole army obeys the order, strangles the rebels, and captures the leader of the rebels alive, Cao Cao!" Compared with winning Cao Ren in martial arts, Xu Rong wanted to get Cao Cao's head more and make great contributions. Xu Rong raised his long knife, pointed in the direction where Cao Cao was, and shouted excitedly. After Xu Rong shouted, many Xiliang Iron Cavalry would rather be injured and temporarily put down their opponents, follow the army, and rush towards Cao Cao.
"Not good!" Seeing this, Bao Xin's face was shocked: "General, the leader of Xiliang has found out where the general is, and I am afraid that he will not be able to guard it!" ”
Bao Xin shouted, and Xiahou Xuan, who was a little sluggish beside Cao Cao, was shocked, and his weak body was strong, and he hurriedly ordered to command the soldiers and horses: "The whole army listens to the order, quickly protect the lord and the two generals to retreat, retreat quickly!" ”
Cao Cao's face darkened, and he secretly blamed himself. I don't want to be strategizing on weekdays, but today I am so reckless! In desperation, Cao Cao had to follow Xiahoudun's advice and retreat with the army.
Wei Zi fell behind Cao Cao and the others for a while, thought for a moment, raised his head, and said solemnly with a resolute face: "General Mengde, the last general will be broken!" ”
"Zixu..."Cao Cao's face was shocked when he heard this, ready to persuade.
"Meng De is the hope that the Han can be revived." Weizi said firmly: "I, Weizi, am just a vast and reckless person, and I am dispensable. But Meng De has ambitions and talents, and he will definitely be able to lead everyone to revive the Han Dynasty. Meng De did not need to be persuaded, he had already made up his mind. The elite of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not as simple as we thought in the past, if no one drags the Xiliang Iron Cavalry after the break, no one can escape today. ”
"No way!" Cao Cao had a calm face, a little angry, a little guilty, and a little unwilling: "This time I sent troops, but I proposed, if you want to break it, I will also break it, how can I let Zi Xu give his life in vain?" ”
"Mengde!" Wei Zi shouted angrily, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Which is more important in terms of the world or the world?" Meng De is a hero in the world, how can he be so a child? After the roar, Wei Zi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Cao Cao and said with some sincerity: "If Meng De is reluctant, you can raise your children for Zi in the future!" ”
Cao Cao looked at Wei Zi's face, and the scene of getting along with his friend Wei Zi in the past flashed in his mind, as if he remembered it vividly.
"Lord, the Xiliang soldiers have attacked, don't hesitate!" Xiahou Yuan was beside him, anxiously reminding Cao Cao. When Cao Cao heard this, he lowered his head and took a deep breath before raising his head, his face became extremely firm, and he even said a little ruthlessly: "Zi Xu take care!" ”
"Mengde, take care!" Seeing Cao Cao's face, Wei Zi was relieved, hugged his fists towards Cao Cao, and led more than a thousand remaining guns and shields to the rear of the army.
Cao Cao, under the urging of Bao Xin and Xiahou brothers, once again reluctantly glanced at Wei Zi's back, turned the horse's head, raised the whip and whipped it fiercely, and rushed towards Rongyang west of Bianshui. When everyone behind him was pleased with Cao Cao's decision, no one noticed that the tears in the corners of Cao Cao's eyes at this time slipped down with the wind.
Cao Cao's appearance gave Cao Ren some life, and Xu Rong gave up on Cao Ren and chased in the direction of Cao Cao's escape. Cao Ren was not a dull person, and when he saw this, he led the few remaining hundreds of soldiers and horses to flee towards the old city not far south of Rongyang. Xu Rong looked at Cao Cao's horses running more than 100 steps away, snorted softly, grabbed the longbow on the side of the war horse, and pulled the string with arrows.
"Crunch... Bang! ”
