Chapter 192: Engagement (2)
Cao Cao gave an order, Bao Xin followed with a roar, and quickly galloped to his own army with Wei Zi, Yang Yuan and others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Cao's command is okay, Xiahou Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong are all generals who have been fighting for a long time, and they quickly command the soldiers to deploy the formation, although they are all new soldiers, but they act in an orderly and fast manner.
However, Bao Xin, Wei Zi and Yang Yuan were not good, Bao Xin had 15,000 soldiers under him, and those veterans reacted quickly, but there were too many new soldiers, and the command was chaotic, and the soldiers under Yang Yuan and Wei Zi were unbearable and were already in chaos.
"Quick! Fast! Array! Sprinkle the tribulus terrestris......"
"Cloth Formation! Hurry up and push the cart! Where's the car? ”
"Push the rejection horse quickly! Rejection! Rejection! ……”
Seeing this, Cao Cao's heart sank, the enemy cavalry came too suddenly, and there were no less than 5,000 cavalry, and the scouts they sent to inquire about the news did not reply to any letter!
And the performance of these chaotic recruits in front of him was beyond his expectations, too bad! He shouted: "Don't mess around! Yuncheng, self-promised, quickly launched the vehicle, threw out the rejection of the horse, the deer, thought to be an obstacle! Soldiers in formation, spears outward! Stay out of the edge for now! Find a chance to fight again! ”
Thundered! Not far away, a black torrent appeared, rolling in, no less than eight thousand cavalry! The dull sound of horses' hooves and the earth-shattering shouts of killing drowned out Cao Cao's roar.
On Cao Cao's side, the car formation has been formed, and the vehicles in front of the formation have formed a piece, and the horses and deer have thrown out a piece, forming an obstacle of four or five feet. After the chariot formation, the five thousand soldiers were divided into left, center and right, each in a group, all spearmen outside, archers inside, Cao Cao dismounted and avoided in the formation.
However, when the black torrent approached, it suddenly split a point, bypassed their side, avoided the real and attacked the false, and went straight to the tens of thousands of chaotic troops on Bao Xin and Weizi's side!
Eight thousand cavalry divided into four groups, galloping vertically and horizontally, cutting the tens of thousands of recruits back and forth repeatedly, and those recruits were almost instantly killed and wounded, completely disrupted, and trampled to death countless people.
Fortunately, Bao Xin was not an easy man, he commanded more than 5,000 veterans under his command, quickly formed a formation, and counterattacked with thousands of archers, and at the same time, ordered his brother Bao Tao to quickly gather the chaotic army and form a formation.
As for Zhongmu Ling Yang Yuan and Wei Zi, they were overwhelmed by the rushing cavalry almost instantly, and their soldiers lost their command and scattered in all directions. However, Ren Jun was the closest to Cao Cao, and the five hundred clan guests under him hugged together and retreated to Cao Cao's side, so as not to die.
Cao Cao saw that Wei Zi and Yang Yuan were trampled to death by the cavalry, and he couldn't help but feel sorry and ordered Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan brothers to command the soldiers to quickly counterattack and move closer to Bao Xin.
At the same time, he found that the soldiers around him were panicked, so he immediately held his sword and shouted: "Dong Zhuo's thief soldiers, the nature of tigers and wolves, have always been wiped out, leaving no prisoners, cannibalism and flesh, today we can only survive by fighting to the death!" The thief is near, don't be afraid, kill! ”
He also whispered to Cao Hong beside him: "Lead the personal guard to oversee the army, and those who retreat and disturb the hearts of the army, kill!" ”
Over there, Bao Xin heard Cao Cao shouting, and he also followed suit to boost morale.
……
When Zhang Liao learned that the battlefield was on the west bank of Bian, he directly led his 4,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Bianshui from the south and go all the way north. When they arrived at the battlefield, Xu Rong's 8,000 cavalry and Cao and Bao's 25,000 had been engaged for nearly an hour.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be shocked by the strength of Dong Zhuo's elite iron cavalry, but in an hour, the west bank of Bianshui was already a corpse, and no less than six or seven thousand enemy soldiers were killed by the cavalry, and countless enemy soldiers were fleeing everywhere.
Is this the strength of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry? In comparison, the cavalry under Fan Chou and Wang Fang was too few, could not be formed, and did not have such shocking power, while Hu Zhen's cavalry ambushed in Heyangjin and lost most of them.
However, I heard that the most elite cavalry under Dong Zhuo is not here, but in Hedong, under the command of Niu Fu Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other captains.
Zhang Liao was shocked by Dong Zhuo's strength for the first time, but now he doesn't need to fight against it, maybe never will, no matter what else he has, it is the best time for him to train his troops!
Most of his subordinates are also recruits, several raids, all of them are blitzkriegs, the enemy is completely defenseless, and Fan Chou, Gao Shun and Wang Fang's original soldiers and horses have contributed a lot, and the recruits have not experienced real battles, especially these newly joined rangers, and they have never been on the battlefield.
But now the opportunity has come, Xu Rong's cavalry has a slight upper hand, this battle does not require him to exert too much strength, there is such a protective barrier, but it is the most suitable for the training of these recruits under his command, not only can sharpen the soldiers, but also the combat intensity can just let these recruits bear.
Zhang Liao pointed to the battlefield and shouted: "Drums!" Trapped, halberd, strike quickly! ”
"Command!" Gao Shun and Zhang He took the order, and the two corps quickly joined the battlefield.
"Tigers, sharpshooters, form a formation, pursue the routers, and collect the prisoners!" Zhang Liao looked at Xue Ming, Jiang Qi and Guo Cheng again, and shouted. The corners of Guo Tu's mouth beside him couldn't help twitching, he couldn't see Zhang Liao's intentions, it was obvious that he was not only training, but also thinking about fighting the autumn wind and taking the opportunity to strengthen himself! This erection is really shameless, but after this battle, his strength can go further.
The addition of Zhang Liao's subsidence camp, the Euphorbia Battalion, the Marksman Battalion, and the Tiger Battalion made the Cao and Bao armies even more declining, and the addition of nearly 3,000 soldiers was nothing compared to Cao Bao's nearly 20,000 soldiers, but the combat effectiveness was shocking!
The trapped camp and the halberd battalion each formed a formation of 800 formations, and the soldiers were all dressed in fine armor, holding spears and halberds, and they cooperated carefully, and everything was flat wherever they passed. The sharpshooter battalion cooperated with the tiger battalion, and those routed soldiers were already frightened, and when they saw the threat of arrow rain, they threw down their weapons and fell to the ground.
On the battlefield, the most eye-catching thing about Zhang Liao's new soldiers is the neat and well-equipped equipment, which makes these soldiers feel like a tiger, the enemy's spears and spears are pierced on the body, and the damage is almost halved, while their sharp spears and halberds pierce past, but they penetrate the enemy's armor, and the damage applied is like a bonus.
Even Xu Rong, who was observing the situation on the battlefield, couldn't help but twitch when he saw this, Zhang Liao's soldiers were better equipped than the cavalry under his command, and even he couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw those armored soldiers rampage on the battlefield.
You must know that sophisticated equipment can make soldiers have a natural sense of security, and they can attack more wholeheartedly, and their combat effectiveness will naturally be highlighted.
"Captain." Zhao Wu saw that the other battalions of soldiers and horses had already attacked, but only their cavalry battalion, personal guard battalion and brake battalion had not yet moved, and he couldn't help but be anxious. The pro-guard battalion and the brake battalion are okay, the pro-guard battalion is mainly responsible for protecting Zhang Liao, and the brake battalion is also temporarily ordered to block the attack, but their cavalry battalion is the main force, and it is really uncomfortable not to attack at this time.
Zhang Liao's expression remained unchanged and glanced at the battlefield of the tragic battles, the many battles, and the several helpless situations in the past few months, including the changes in Dong Zhuo, Dong Huang's hidden arrows, the pressure of the family, and Tang Wan's departure, which made his state of mind tempered and able to face everything more peacefully, or with a little coldness.
He observed for a moment and found that in addition to the rout troops scattered and fleeing on the battlefield, there were also three military formations that had been formed, and the vehicles, horses, and deer scattered everywhere on the battlefield made it difficult for Xu Rong's cavalry to capture for a while.
After the cavalry rushes, once the close combat, the impact is greatly weakened, and it is easy to fall into a bitter battle when it competes with the military formation.
Xu Rong's cavalry was attacking the army formation to the west, which numbered about 3,000 men and fought under the command of a bloodied general.
Zhang Liao looked at the enemy's Chinese army, where a "Bao" flag was still fluttering, and there were five or six thousand assembled troops. Bao Xin had a lot of Taishan soldiers under him, similar to Wang Kuang's at the beginning, extremely good at shooting, and Xu Rong's cavalry suffered a lot of losses here. But their baggage was lost, and the archers were running out of arrows.
As for the enemy formation on the southeast hill, a "Cao" flag fluttering, it was Cao Cao, in front of Cao Cao's formation, the two generals were the most prominent, strong in martial arts, and Xu Rong's cavalry battled, and the cavalry that rushed up was scattered several times.
"Ah Heng." Zhang Liao pointed to Cao Cao in the formation over there, and whispered to Shi A: "Don't act for the time being, just stare at him with the brake camp, if he retreats, ......"
Commanding Shi A, Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Wu, who couldn't wait, pointed to Bao Xin's legion, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Cai, attack with Captain Bendu!" (To be continued.) )
