75. The Left Army collapsed

Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.

Although Xu Rong ordered the large army to dismount and fight on foot before, he did not forget the advantages of his Xiliang soldiers and horses, galloping and running, it was originally a big killing move for the Xiliang soldiers to win by surprise, in order to deal with the Cao army's Yuli array, the cavalry tactics can be temporarily put away first, but once the Cao army's formation is flawed, charging into battle, the plan of thousands of cavalry to break through the army still has to be prepared.

Yan Xing's right flank seems to be only superficially restraining Cao's left army, so that Xu Rong's main elite can attack Cao Cao's Chinese army, but those who are good at using the art of war can admit that they have a dead reason, a dead order, draw inferences from one another, and take advantage of the convenience is the way to win the battle.

Yan Xing made the illusion that the offensive was weak, that is, to let the left army of the Cao army on the opposite side rest and breathe, only if they could rest and breathe, their brains would inevitably work, and they watched their Chinese army formation crumbling, and they must have been anxious in their hearts.

Even if they don't worry about Cao Cao's Chinese army, they must do something for their own safety.

And what Cao Jun's left army can do is nothing more than to send troops to rescue the Chinese army, or surprise troops, to repel his own enemy who is weak in the offensive, so that Xu Rong's main elite can only realize the unstable situation on the flank, and can only return to the division to protect it, playing a role in containing one side.

Compared with passive rescue, active defensive offense will obviously be more attractive to the generals of Cao Jun's left army, after all, Bao Xin is not incompetent, these two countermeasures, which is better or worse, can be distinguished at a glance.

This is also the Cao army's fighter to turn defeat into victory, presumably the Cao army on the opposite side must not be willing to give up easily, therefore, Yan Xing also made a plan in advance, let Xu Huang and Ma Lin go to prepare, and prepare an unforgettable memory for the Cao army who wants to attack instead of defending.

Listen, the war drums of the offensive have sounded.

···

Where the general flag of the Cao army is located

When he heard the sound of offensive war drums in the military formation of the left army, Cao Cao, who was standing on the horse, suddenly his eyelids jumped violently, he clenched his sword, and strangled the same boring war horse, but the suppressed irritability in his chest was a little unstoppable at the moment, and he couldn't help but ask loudly:

"Where to beat the drum, without my order, how dare anyone beat the drum and attack without authorization!"

"General, the left army Bao Jibei sent an envoy to report that the Xiliang soldiers intended to break through the Chinese army, and the two wings were only contained, so he responded to the situation and sent troops and horses to make a feint attack and attack the enemy, so as to slow down the frontal pressure of our Chinese army. Well, on the side of the Right Army, Bao Jibei also sent someone to report! ”

Cao Hong did not ride a horse, but hurriedly ran over, just now he had run to receive the news sent by Bao Xin's envoy.

"This!"

Cao Cao heard that Bao Xin took the initiative to feint against the Xiliang soldiers opposite him, he was also a wise person, and he soon understood that this was Bao Xin's distrust in the defense of the Chinese army, and he was afraid that the Chinese army he was in would not be able to resist the repeated attacks of the Xiliang soldiers.

Once the Chinese army in which he is located is broken by the Xiliang soldiers in one fell swoop, the tripartite coalition army will naturally be defeated, and the trend of collapse will be irreparable.

Therefore, Bao Xin had to take the initiative to attack and feint against the enemy army on the opposite side.

In the final analysis, Bao Xin is for him Cao Mengde and for the overall situation of the tripartite alliance. However, Cao Cao was deeply worried about this, and the generals led by the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side were not people who did not know soldiers, and from their decisive abandonment of the method of cavalry warfare, and instead let the soldiers dismount and fight on foot, it can be seen that the opponent's enemy will be experienced, brave and resourceful.

If the enemy will put the men and horses on the two wings, it is only to play the meaning of the containment effect, then Bao Xin's feint attack may still succeed by luck and attract a small part of the pressure for himself, but if the enemy on the opposite side will put the soldiers and horses on the two wings, and there is still a hidden purpose to lure the enemy to attack, then I am afraid that Bao Xin's feint attack will inevitably be more auspicious.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly said:

"Zilian, quickly go and inform the comer, let him return quickly, just say my order, let Bao Jibei send troops to feint, no matter whether it is success or failure, you must retreat with one blow, strictly guard the formation, don't fall in love with the battle, remember to remember!"

After speaking, Cao Cao anxiously looked in the direction of Bao Xin's left army.

He himself is where the Chinese army is, facing Cao Ren. When the two Cao Chun brothers were in danger and could be devoured by the Xiliang soldiers at any time, they were still ruthless, and did not send the only mobile force in their hands to the Chinese army's own soldiers, but instead gave a loud order, so that the soldiers of the whole army fought desperately to the death, and they were afraid that those who retreated first would be killed.

What is it for, isn't it just to force his own soldiers to survive, squeeze out all the potential in his body, and resist the Xiliang soldiers' charging formation, so that when the Xiliang soldiers' offensive is declining, he ordered the left, center and right armies, and the reserved mobile forces to attack, so that the Xiliang soldiers were caught off guard and successfully turned Cao's defeat into victory.

Now, Bao Xin made a feint, he will inevitably use the cavalry left in the left army in advance, this surprise assault, if he wins, forget it, although he lost the surprise soldiers of the left army, but at least delayed the frontal offensive of the Xiliang soldiers, but once it fails, not only is Bao Xin's left army in danger, but the situation has collapsed one after another, even his middle army, and Weizi's right army, there is also a catastrophe.

···

Just when Cao Cao was worried about the feint attack of the left army, Bao Tao, who led the troops to attack the feint, was proud and enthusiastic, no matter who it was, from being passively beaten to actively attacking, from being silent to helping the crisis and determining the difficulties, it was inevitable to fall into a burst of hesitation.

Bao Tao is in this state right now.

He shouted, and with the cavalry of the left army, he suddenly came out of his own formation, and made a big fanfare, and the front of the troops was directly aimed at the command post of the soldiers and horses of the left army.

The Xiliang soldiers who were weak in front of them were really crushed at the touch of a button, and they were invincible, and the cavalry led by Bao Tao quickly dispersed to both sides as soon as they were assaulted.

Seeing that the enemy general where the left army was commanding, he was turning his horse's head in a panic, as if he wanted to slap the horse and flee, and the horn of the left army was also blowing, he laughed, and sure enough, to save the situation, after all, he still had to rely on their Bao family's soldiers and horses.

It's just that soon, Bao Tao couldn't laugh anymore.

The cavalry on both sides of the Xiliang soldiers came much faster than he imagined.

The Xiliang infantry who quickly dispersed on both sides were not scattered by his assault, but were making way for their own cavalry that was galloping from the left and right flanks and wanted to cut off their own way back.

Ma Lin and Xu Huang led the cavalry, roaring, the Fei Lian cavalry and Xiliang light cavalry under their command were more elite than Bao Tao's Taishan cavalry, not to mention that Yan Xing's strategy in advance was waiting for the left army of Cao Jun to take the initiative to counterattack.

The cavalry of Bao Tao's assault was cut off by Xu Huang and Ma Lin's cavalry almost instantly, and was cut into three pieces, and the Taishan cavalry that was scattered in formation was panicked, fighting separately, and was soon forced into a ball with spears by the Xiliang infantry who came up again.

These Taishan cavalry have been surrounded by the Xiliang Corps, and their horses are crowded and chaotic, and they can't even turn the horse's head, let alone urge the horses, for a while, riding on horseback, the larger cavalry is like a scarecrow trembling in the wind, left and right, under the dense spear thorns, they have fallen off their horses, and none of them have been spared.

"It's not good, the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side have already premeditated, just waiting for the cavalry assault we are waiting for!"

Bao Xin, who paid close attention to the changes in the battlefield situation in the left army's military formation, had already sensed that something was wrong when Bao Tao led the Taishan cavalry, which was less than a thousand cavalry, to rush into the enemy formation.

Bao Xin hurriedly ordered, and Ming Jin urged Bao Tao to retreat with one blow and return to the division quickly, so as not to be surrounded by the strange Xiliang Corps.

But as soon as the gong sounded, the situation suddenly reversed, and the charging horses could not stop their hooves, and it was already too late.

The Xiliang soldiers are skillful in saddle horses, and they can fight in formation when they dismount, and they are even more comfortable when they rush to kill on the horse, almost at the moment when Bao Tao rode the horse to break through, Xu Huang and Ma Lin each took a team of Xiliang cavalry who re-mounted the horse, and rushed over from the passage where the left and right side foot soldiers scattered.

Seeing his brother's cavalry team being cut into three sections, Bao Xinxin was anxious, but he himself was also caught in the situation, and he couldn't sit idly by, and now his cavalry was only surrounded by Xiliang soldiers, as long as the rescue was timely, half of the men and horses could still come back alive with the help of horsepower, but if they didn't sit idly by, not only would their brother Bao Tao's men and horses be wiped out, but the morale of the soldiers and horses of the left army and the three armies of the middle army and the right army would also be greatly reduced, and the situation of this stalemate would be even more difficult to maintain.

Bao Xin personally ordered to lead the troops to rescue his brother, and the soldiers and horses were dispatched in large numbers. And the left army, in the long formation of interlaced canine teeth, like a stone suddenly raised, set off a huge wave on the turbulent battlefield.

Xu Rong, where the Chinese army was located, quickly noticed this, he stationed his horse on a high place, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of his right flank, and laughed loudly:

"The bait has been put down for so long, and the fish has finally been hooked, where is Xu Kun?"

"In!"

Xu Kun excitedly rode out of the column, clasped his fists on the horse and saluted, he saw the situation on the right flank clearly just now, the soldiers and horses of the left army of the Cao army finally couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to assault, but it happened to be tightly adhered to by Yan Xing, who showed slowdown, the soldiers and horses on both sides have been fought together, the original Cao army formation has been disturbed, and there are flaws on the side, only need to send a cavalry, drive straight in, and insert the ribs of the opponent's formation from the side, and the Cao army will definitely collapse!

And galloping and running, flanking and breaking through, isn't it the best skill of the Xiliang cavalry!

"You take three hundred iron horsemen, first break the formation of the rebel left army, and then take advantage of the momentum of breaking the formation, and attack the rebel army's central army in a roundabout way!"

"No!"

Xu Kun shouted his order, turned around and picked up the three hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was waiting for him, and galloped out of the Chinese army with a roar, and went straight to the left army formation of Cao Jun.

At the same time, Xu Rong ordered the Western Liang soldiers to exert their strength on three sides to launch a general attack, and the Western Liang soldiers attacked like a tide in the sound of horns, wave after wave, and they were extremely fierce, forcing the two large formations of Cao's army's central army and right army to shrink and retreat.

Cao's army is in a large array

After the all-out general attack of the Xiliang soldiers was launched, Cao Cao, who looked at the overall situation, saw a torrent of smoke and dust, whistling from his front, galloping straight to his left army.

But Cao Cao wanted to rescue, but he was already powerless.

The mobility of the cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers far exceeds that of the soldiers and horses on their own side, and they can barely resist in a battle to the death, and once it turns into a melee of running and volleying, the infantry on their own side will immediately collapse.
