Chapter 67: The Battle for Luoyang (5) (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )

Li Changgeng was ordered to leave, and the next thing was to follow Liu Ji's strategy, first destroy Cao Hong, then kill Cao Ren, and then block Cao Cao under the Tiger Prison.

Yang Shuo immediately ordered Zhao Yun to command 4,000 cavalry to Gong County to assist Yang Zaixing in annihilating Cao Hong in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yun took the order to leave, and then Yang Shuo commanded the rest of the men to rush to Luoyang non-stop.

"Lord, there are more than 60,000 people before and after Cao Cao, and our army only has 20,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 cavalry, is the strength sufficient?" On the road, seeing that Yang Shuo had not given an order for a long time, the master father Yan reminded.

Hearing this, Yang Shuo slowed down the speed of the horse, only thinking about how to quickly block Cao Cao out of the Tiger Prison, this hurry almost forgot the most important thing, Cao Cao is an immortal hero, and the art of war is one of the best in the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong are also famous generals of the Three Kingdoms. It's just that Yang Shuo has a total of only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao has a total of nearly 70,000 horse infantry, even if Yang Shuo presses all the soldiers and horses, it is still much inferior, so seizing the Tiger Prison Pass is a vital part, only relying on the strong Tiger Prison Pass Yang Shuo has the opportunity to fight with Cao Cao, otherwise it is better to obediently deploy Hangu Pass.

Cao Cao raised nearly 70,000 troops, and Yang Shuo's entire belongings were only 50,000 to guard against the sneak attack of Shangdang and Hanoi, the troops were really not enough, but now it can only be like this, and Yang Shuo ordered in a moment: "Order Xu Huang to garrison Anyi, and Zhang Xutuo will lead the army to join us as soon as possible!" ”

30,000 foot soldiers, 8,000 cavalry against Cao Cao's 70,000 soldiers and horses, this is also the largest force that Yang Shuo can mobilize at present.

Gong County, Henan, held out all night, the two armies did not take any action, and they have always insisted that you stare at me, I stare at you, and no one can help anyone!

Early in the morning, I had just opened the pot to cook and had breakfast, and I came in a hurry, "General, this is a letter from the lord entrusted to General Zhao!" ”

Yang Zaixing opened it to take a look, and hurriedly asked the deputy general with joy in his heart: "Where is General Zilong now?" ”

"I have quietly bypassed Cao Jun and waited due east!" Adjutant said.

"Good!" Yang Zaixing slapped the table violently and said fiercely: "Let's see how long this group of turtle sons can shrink!" ”

"Pass the order, the army is assembled!" Yang Zaixing waved his hand.

"Whoa!"

The lieutenant general took the order and left.

"Woooooo The desolate sound of the horn was melodious and heavy, waking up everything that was sleeping, and also waking up Cao Bing, who continued to wait to see the joke.

"General, what is Yang Shuojun doing here?" The piercing sound of the horn still echoed in Cao Bing's ears, and the deputy general approached Cao Hong and asked puzzled.

Seeing that Cao Hong didn't speak, the adjutant general observed it again and said suspiciously: "Could it be that they can't attack?" ”

"Hey!" Cao Hong chuckled, and his face quickly fell: "You really said it, they are going to attack!" ”

"Won't it?" The deputy general smiled dryly, "Could it be that the person on the other side is a fool, the general's deep formation Cao Gong Zhenchuan, and we are backed by Xiongshan, how can they break it?" ”

"Most of them got the news that the eldest brother has entered Luoyang, and understands that it is not good for them to consume it, so he just vented his evil anger before leaving!" Looking at the cavalry gathered in the distance, Cao Hong's eyes showed a trace of fire, and he sighed again: "If you can lose all these cavalry here, even if you take your life, it's worth it, it's a pity!" Pity! ”

The cavalry on the opposite side had already been assembled, and Cao Hong pulled out the long sword at his waist, "Beat the drums, gather in formation!" ”

"Knock knock!" The heavy and pressing drum sounded quickly, mixed with the desolate horn sound in the distance, the whole sky was completely wrapped in a solemn atmosphere, the black cavalry took Yang Zaixing as the arrow, lined up in a straight line in the shape of a feather arrow, Cao Bing's military formation, with Cao Hong's shout, rows of large shields more than one person high were erected high, and the soldiers behind the big shield were almost invisible from the front, and a pair of pikemen were neatly arranged behind the big shield, the tip of the spear was glowing with cold light, and the long spear could string the galloping war horses into a gourd, In the center of the row of archers with longbows in the middle of the line, waiting for an order, the feathered arrows in their hands will be in a parabolic state and fiercely shoot at the enemy on the opposite side!

The gray sky, the withered yellow earth, the desolate trumpet, the earth-shattering drums, the great battle is about to break out.

With the sound of a cannon, the four thousand cavalry slowly moved, and the earth trembled violently with their running.

"Kill!" Yang reeled.

"Kill!" Behind him came the cavalry shouting in unison.

Four thousand cavalry with dust and smoke, with a strong wind, with a thick killing atmosphere, Cao Hong lived in the center of the battle array, with a long sword in one hand and a command flag in the other, his expression was slightly relaxed, or even more confident.

The cavalry is certainly fierce, but the battle formation he formed is not vegetarian, as long as the command is right, it can be very easy to let the opposite cavalry return, he is confident that he also has this ability, he is not afraid of the cavalry to kill, he is afraid of the cavalry not coming.

Cao Hong's confident commanded soldiers were also full of confidence, clenched the spears in their hands, and waited for the opposite cavalry to rush in, so as to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

It's close! Two hundred steps! One hundred steps! …… Sixty steps!

"Shoot!" Cao Hong roared and waved the flag in his hand.

"Whoosh!" The arrows in the sky swept across the sky and shot fiercely towards the galloping war horses, the dense arrows were as dense as locusts, and there was no way to dodge, Yang Zaixing danced the spear impenetrable, and the cavalry behind him was not so lucky, some were shot at the knights, some were shot at the war horses, and with the fall of the arrow rain, the wails continued.

A wave of arrow rain began to build a miraculous feat, Cao Hong was even more proud, his eyes were squinted like chrysanthemums, waving the flag again, and another wave of arrow rain came, and the sky was full of arrow rain with snowy feathers as if winter was coming.

"Duh!" Arrow rain wave after wave, each wave of arrow rain took away a large number of cavalry, from the beginning of the arrow rain to the distance of nearly sixty steps before the big shield, the cavalry commanded by Yang Zaixing suffered the baptism of three waves of arrow rain of Cao soldiers, more than 200 cavalry died in Huangquan before they could engage with Cao Bing, sad and sad!

The rain of arrows is just an appetizer, the back hand of the real killer is still in the sturdy big shield and the spear behind him, it doesn't take much effort, the pikemen only need the bottom of the barrel of the gun, and the tip of the spear is aimed at the rushing cavalry, absolutely aiming at a target, and the huge impact of the war horse will definitely die when it hits the spear.

"Kill!" Yang Zaixing roared, the spear stabbed at the huge shield, and the shield with strong horsepower shattered, revealing the Cao soldiers behind him who were staring at the mouth full of blood, and picked up the big shield with one shot, and the spear swept away, and several attacking spears were also knocked to the ground by him, Yang Zaixing went straight to Cao Hong's direction to kill as if he was in no man's land.

Some of the cavalry behind him followed Yang Zaixing's bloody road to kill all the way in, and more people were also blocked out of the big shield and were killed by the elusive spear, the sound of fighting, the screams were endless, and the blood and water were bubbling up, gradually converging into a stream.
