Chapter 458: The Battle of Guandu XIII

Cao Ren looked at the phalanx of foot soldiers in front of him without the slightest hesitation. He was confident that it would be overwhelmed, but there was a cold light in front of the phalanx of foot soldiers in the night.

Once the speed of the cavalry increases, it is not so easy to slow down immediately. What did the experienced soldier Cao soldier's natural path of cold light represent, so he slightly reduced the speed of his horse, and those soldiers who were already enthusiastic and lacked experience in battle rushed forward without hesitation.

"Steady, Mo Dao Ding!" Just as Cao's cavalry continued to accelerate, Gao Shun's loud voice once again spread across the battlefield.

In an instant, I saw the Mo knife soldiers in the first row squatting together, the entire Mo knife pointed diagonally at the night sky, and the handle of the knife was stubbornly against the ground. The soldiers in the second row were holding their swords flat, ready to meet the impact.

"Crossbowman Throw!"

The cavalry of the Cao army entered the range of 100 paces, and Gao Shun issued the general order for the third time.

"Woohoo!" A sound of breaking the sky pierced the night.

The cavalry of the Cao army, who immediately charged, screamed again and again. The big yellow crossbow in Youzhou is not only available in the Shenji Battalion, but also a lot of Gao Shun's trapping camp.

The cavalry of the Cao army, who rushed to the forefront, fell off their horses one after another, and even worse, even the men and horses were shot to the ground. The leather armor on the cavalry of the Cao army could not block the penetration of the crossbow arrows at all, so the speed of the cavalry slowed down a lot, and the dense formation was disrupted.

"Engage!" At the same time as Gao Shun shouted, the cavalry collided with the infantry phalanx. The picture that Cao Ren originally wanted to see did not appear, but his own cavalry fell in front of the battle.

"Forward!" The cavalry stalled, and Gao Shun's attack command came at the same time, and the fighter plane grasped it very appropriately.

Poof! Poof! There was a sound of flesh penetrating, and Cao Hong stared at him, completely unable to believe what was happening in front of him.

The large array composed of three thousand Mo swordsmen and soldiers slowly moved forward like this. Everywhere he passed, corpses were everywhere, and no matter whether they were human or animal, there were no corpses.

"General Cao, quickly give the order to retreat!" When Cao Hong was still in shock, Xu Huang on the side immediately reminded.

To be honest, Xu Huang didn't expect such a situation. originally thought that after paying a certain price, how could their own cavalry break out of a gap, but now they were pushed back by the foot soldiers of Youzhou.

"Mo Dao?" Xu Huang's mind was running rapidly, but there was very little information about Modao.

Facing this group of bloodthirsty demons in front of them, the cavalry of the Cao army was timid, and they began to retreat without waiting for Cao Hong's order. It's also thanks to the fact that the Mo Dao Army's marching speed is not fast, otherwise I really don't know what the outcome of the battle will be.

In short, the tragic battle situation in front of him has made Cao Hong spit out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, Xu Huang's eyes were quick, so he didn't fall off the war horse.

"This is the brainchild of the lord... It was destroyed by my hands like this..."Cao Hong fainted before he finished speaking.

"Withdraw!" The Mo Dao Array was very powerful, but unfortunately it couldn't last, and Gao Shun decisively gave the order to retreat.

When Cao Cao arrived, Cao Ren had just woken up. In the first battle, preliminary statistics show that the cavalry losses were as high as 2,000.

"Zixiao, we are in the middle of the plan!" At this time, Cao Cao finally came to his senses, but he didn't want to go back empty-handed like this, this was not his style.

"Immediately order the archers to shoot into the grain camp with fire arrows, even if it can't be completely destroyed, it's a great achievement!"

Xu Huang went as promised, and the archers began to prepare the things that ignited the fire, and they originally planned to burn the black nest, so they also brought a lot of fire arrows. However, what made Xu Huang even more convinced was Cao Cao's chaotic state of mind.

"Light the fire, put it!" In a short period of time, Cao's archers began to shoot fire arrows like a grain camp.

In an instant, the camp behind the trapped camp was on fire, but the fire that Cao Cao thought about did not appear.

"Fake Grain Battalion!" This was Cao Cao's first reaction.

In fact, a few days ago, after Gao Shun led the trapping camp to arrive, Xi Zhi made adjustments to the entire grain camp in Wuchao.

"My lord, please evacuate this place quickly." Xu Huang hurriedly persuaded again, the situation in front of him was enough to show everything.

This place of black nest and grain is obviously a trap set by Huo Yu. Presumably, it will take time for the Youzhou Army to complete the encirclement, and it will take more time if you don't leave at this time.

"Withdraw!" Now that he knew the plan, Cao Cao didn't have time to sigh, but it was a little late.

Just as Cao Cao gave the order to retreat, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from behind the army, and at the same time, there was also the low horn.

"Report, Youzhou Army... The Youzhou Army is coming from behind! A scout appeared in front of Cao Cao in a panic.

"How many?" Glancing at the panicked scout, Cao Cao asked angrily.

"Everywhere, all around..."The panicked scout was a little incoherent, but before he could finish his words, he was stabbed to death by Cao Cao drawing his sword.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't need to ask, since Huo Yu set up a bureau, he would definitely not let himself escape. Once surrounded by the Youzhou army, Cao Cao's little force was powerless to resist at all.

A sword killed the scout, Cao Cao held the sword and shouted: "The thief messes with our army's heart, so that he will be killed by Benhou!" ”

Saying this, Cao Cao paused, and looked around by the faint light of the fire, and many soldiers already showed timidity on their faces.

"Now, we have no way out, we can only fight to the death!" After finishing speaking, Cao Cao tore off the cloak behind him.

"Gongming, protect Zilian and fight your way out of the encirclement!" Before riding the horse and rushing out, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xu Huang, Cao Hong was afraid that it would be difficult to cope with this state, so he could only hand it over to Xu Huang.

With Cao Cao's example, how could the tiger and leopard riders, who were the absolute main force, fall behind, and after only a few breaths, the personal guards led by Xu Chu escorted Cao Cao in the center, and the tiger and leopard riders beside him galloped forward on their horses.

When the brave meets on a narrow road, Cao Cao naturally understands this truth. The tiger and leopard rode in front, Cao Cao was in the center, and the rest of the Cao cavalry seemed to be a little sluggish

Suddenly, Li Dian shouted: "Swear to protect the lord to the death!" ”

rushed out with a roar, and immediately after, the remaining soldiers of the Cao army shouted to join in. The 20,000 horses brought by Cao Cao this time are by no means old, weak, sick and disabled, but absolutely elite, trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention people?

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 Cao army is absolutely amazing.

The fighting spirit was aroused, but Cao Cao was still a little uneasy, after all, Huo Yu's military advantage was there, so he hurriedly ordered to continue arson everywhere, in short, the more chaotic the battlefield, the better it was for him.

The elite of the 20,000 Cao army rushed towards the outside of the barracks like a torrent, and the torrent of the Cao army's cavalry collided with the cavalry of the Youzhou army who came to you.

The soldiers of the Cao army, who were galloping on their horses, were red-eyed, and while retreating behind Cao Cao, they slashed and killed the Youzhou army that collided with them.

It's often you who slash me once, and I slash you twice, which is completely a life-defying way of fighting. For a while, the two sides did not give in to each other, and all the Youzhou cavalry who rushed towards Cao Cao died tragically under Xu Chu's sword.
