Chapter 564: Cone Formation

Three miles away from the north of the battlefield, Cao Chun had been waiting for half an hour with two hundred Cao family children and two hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Chun silently calculated the time in his heart, another quarter of an hour, at most another quarter of an hour, if the general has not returned, then I will cut in from the side......

At this moment, a sentry rode a war horse and galloped in front of Cao Chun, "General Cao, the rebels have retreated. The general has also begun to retreat! ”

When Cao Chun heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. I finally heard a piece of good news. "Got it, you immediately return to the camp and tell the adjutant general everything that is immediately ready to treat the wounded. When our generals return, we will return to the camp with them! ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the sentry rode away again.

In this battle, the Janissaries and the eldest prince did not lose many soldiers and horses, which was a drop in the bucket for the big war that took place in the Central Plains.

The loss of the eldest prince was only more than five hundred Shura plus two or three hundred cavalry, a total of less than nine hundred. And the Praetorian Guard, which suffered heavy losses, only lost 1,7800 men. The sum of them is not enough for the death toll of a serial raid incident created by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang that year. However, this loss is a very large number for Dawan, who has not many soldiers and horses. And among them, the most distressing thing is probably the more than 500 Shura that are not listed for real use!

Cao Chun and the Praetorian Guard's general's charge was naturally joyful. Although the war was lost, the backbone of the Praetorian Guard did not fall. Although the morale of the soldiers has decreased, this can be brought up again. As long as our fighting spirit has not been extinguished.

After Cao Chun and the Praetorian Guard general returned to the camp, Cao Chun's previous arrangements were also immediately put to use. More than 300 wounded soldiers had just entered the camp, and immediately someone began to treat them. The entire battalion was also boiling because of the soldiers who had returned from the battle.

Five thousand people went out, but now only three thousand have returned. What exactly happened. For the Praetorian Guard generals, the biggest regret in this battle was that they did not kill all the Shura of the eldest prince. There's such a great opportunity.

However, the eldest prince did not give the Praetorian Guard general a chance to sigh for a while longer.

"Report~, General! A large number of cavalry were found outside the camp, it was the rebels of His Highness. They had two thousand horsemen, and they were less than two miles from the camp! ”

"What? How can it be? "The Praetorian Guard general's ass that he had just sat down stood up again. Coming so fast? Inform the whole army. Prepare for battle! ”

"Yes!"

The enemy has run to the doorstep, if you retreat again, you can simply go back to Guishan City and ask for death. Moreover, the expeditionary army has just returned to the camp, and the current camp is the busiest time, and this attack by the rebels is really worse. However, no matter what, it must be fought!

The armor he had just taken off was draped over his body again. The Praetorian Guard general had just grabbed his sword and stepped out of the tent when a group of knights came up to him majestically. The leader is Cao Chun!

"General, the enemy army is all cavalry, let's buy the general some time this time. Brethren, spread the banner! ”

"Brush!"

The two flags were thrown away by the two knights, "Han"! "Cao"!

"Brothers, raise the prestige of my Han country! Fight! Cao Chun shouted, and the sharp saber was instantly unsheathed. The two hundred Cao family disciples behind Cao Chun also drew their swords in unison.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

"The Great Han Iron Rider!"

"Invincible!"

"Drive!"

Cao Chun twisted the horse's head and slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly spread its hooves and raised a cloud of dust.

This time, Cao Chun put on his own armor. The neatly sturdy, thick, and mighty Ming Guangkai appeared on the battlefield of Dawan for the first time, and with the red cloak behind each knight, a red dragon made of steel quickly interspersed in the dense tent group.

"This, this, is this the iron horse of the Great Han?"

"Is this the armor of the Great Han?"

……

Cao Chun ignored the envious voices around him, and drove the war horse straight to the battlefield! Cao Chun rode a war horse, just walked out of the range of the camp, and a mile in front of Cao Chun, a stream of yellow sand flew in the sky.

Cao Chun restrained the war horse and waited quietly. Suddenly, on top of a sand dune, several black shadows appeared, and then in a matter of moments, there were more and more black shadows, and then fewer and fewer, because the flying yellow sand blocked the view.

"Cone Formation!"

Cao Chun's voice was not loud, but the two hundred knights behind him heard it clearly. After a moment's effort, a triangle with Cao Chun as the peak appeared.

"Veil and visor!"

After the uniform movements, the faces of Cao Chun and the two hundred knights behind him were blocked by a black strip of cloth and dark visors. This is not to add to his mystery, but to fend off the sand flying in battle.

You're all set! Cao Chun's eyes had been staring closely at the rebels of the Great Prince, who were still charging rapidly. Suddenly, just after the rebels' vanguard disappeared under the sand dunes again, Cao Chun shouted, "Attack!" ”

Two hundred knights neatly urged the horses, and the sharp cone formation began to move slowly. Slowly, the conical formation began to accelerate, and the war horse used the help of the sand dune downhill, the speed became faster and faster, and the yellow sand rolled up by the horse's hooves was also getting higher and higher.

Behind Cao Chun, a thousand-strong team of the Praetorian Guard finally appeared. At this moment, the scene presented in front of them was two sandstorms that were about to collide!

"Kill~!" Cao Chun had just climbed to the top of a sand dune, and below the sand dunes were the rebels who had just begun to climb.

This is the opportunity that Cao Chun is waiting for. Condescending!

"Bell!" A crisp sound of weapons colliding was followed by a terrible scream, "Ah! ”

A rebel soldier falls off his horse, and the curtain of the battle begins, and the collision of the two cavalry begins!

The cone formation, as the name suggests, is that the entire army is like a sharp awl, nailed deep into the interior of the enemy army. In a normal cone formation, the general needs to stay in the center of the formation. A general, his task is to be a commander and not to fight. If the generals are required to run to the front with their swords and fight to kill the enemy, then what else do the soldiers need. Everybody's going to be a general.

And if there is really a general who charges on the front line with a sword, then this general is either a fool or the entire army has reached the time of life and death.

Now, Cao Chun is at the forefront of the cone formation. It's not that Cao Chun is stupid, and it's not that Cao Chun has reached the point where he wants to die with the enemy. Rather, his cavalry was only two hundred men, and staying in the front was no different from staying in the middle. What's more, because there are too few people on their side, the sharpest cone tip of the cone formation must be held by someone with strong force. And in this case, I'm afraid only Cao Chun can serve it.

In a matter of moments, nearly half of Cao Chun's conical array had been nailed into the rebels of the eldest prince. And Cao Chun, who was at the front, only needed to hack to death the enemy troops in front of him, and then continue to charge. As for expanding the gains and extending the attack to the flanks, that's what the knights at the back of the line need to do.
