Chapter Eighty-Seven: Kill, Kill, Kill 2
The pursuing force led by Bocai finally collided with Cao Dejun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Since Bocai was entangled by Zhou Cang, he didn't realize that his army was surrounded.
At the forefront of Bocai's division were Cao Dejun's twelve-layer shield array and archers firing from the back. On both sides are archers with cold arrows and swords and shields sneaking closer. When these sword and shield men were only more than three hundred steps away from the Yellow Turban Army, they all accelerated violently and rushed straight into the scattered formation of the Yellow Turban Army.
A fierce pocket siege battle began.
The brutal battle has been going on for nearly half an hour. And the Yellow Turban Army under Bocai began to retreat. Many of the Yellow Turban Army have lost the blood and passion they had just now. Just as I was about to run back quietly. From the way the Yellow Turban Army came just now, a violent tumbling dust was rolling towards the battlefield. When they got closer, the Yellow Turban Army, who had been preparing to slip away, erupted in deafening cheers. It was none other than the second batch of Yellow Turban Army that set out from Qinghe City to pursue Cao De's army.
This group of Yellow Turban troops was under the command of the generals led by them. Two knife tips were divided, and they joined the battle circle along the periphery of the first batch of Yellow Turban Army. Soon, Cao Dejun, who originally surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in a pocket formation, has now become the object of encirclement. And it doesn't stop there, they also face front and back attacks.
The situation on the battlefield is getting worse and worse for Cao Dejun. And the big battle between Zhou Cang and Bocai is not over yet. The two of them were basically evenly matched, and Zhou Cang was originally from the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhou Cang couldn't help but have a heart for Bo Cai. Gradually, the two no longer fought to the death, but Zhou Cang was constantly persuading Bocai. And Bo Cai couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing that Zhou Cang was also from the Yellow Turban Army and had a high position in the official army. What did you rebel for in the first place, of course, you no longer let yourself be oppressed, but you also had to oppress others. If you were born to be a big official, rich and powerful, who would rebel. Therefore, the strength in Bocai's hand gradually decreased. The two of them were talking and fighting, and they had been fighting for almost half an hour. I really don't know if they're tired or not.
The intensity of the battle will not change because of Zhou Cang and Bocai. With the arrival of reinforcements from the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Dejun's original 5,000-strong blocking team was much weaker. Just when Cao Dejun's shield array was about to be completely broken. A long horn sounded. Immediately afterward, the rumbling of horses' hooves even drowned out the shouts of the two sides fighting on the battlefield.
The cavalry of Cao De's army came. The cavalry of Cao De's army appeared from the rear of the battlefield. More than 6,000 horsemen, less than 7,000 cavalry, lined up in a neat offensive formation, and the horses rushed in from the rear of the Yellow Turban Army.
In fact, the cavalry of Cao De's army had already arrived. It's just that in order to get all the Yellow Turban Army into the trap, they have not launched an attack until now.
Cavalry was a trump card in the era of cold weapons. The lethality of cavalry, especially to infantry, was enormous. The speed at which the cavalry galloped with the help of a war horse. Infantry can be slaughtered by ramming, slashing, and other methods. Once the cavalry is formed in size, and the infantry is less than three times its own, it will basically not be easily defeated even if it cannot win.
The cavalry of Cao De's army was the cavalry brought by Cao Cao with a regular Central Army certificate when Cao Cao and Cao De met. This was the most powerful and elite unit of the Han Dynasty. Their horses are selected from all over the country. Their knights are also selected from all over the country. Their provisions are given by the central government, and their training is of the highest level.
If such cavalry had any more difficulty in facing a group of civilians with weapons. It is estimated that they do not deserve to be called the iron hooves of the Great Han.
More than 6,000 horsemen, dressed in bright red official and military uniforms and armor, lined up in a charging formation. It was as if a red wave instantly broke through the unstable earthen wall, and then flooded the entire land. And the leader of them was indeed a general wearing bright silver armor and riding a pure white war horse under his crotch, there was no doubt that it was Zhao Yun.
At the same time, another horn of attack spread throughout the battlefield.
Immediately after, around the battlefield. Countless officers and soldiers dressed in red appeared. They raised their ring-headed broadswords, and the wolf howled out of the half-human-tall grass, and then quickly sprinted forward to the battlefield.
At this time, the figures of Cao De and Cao Cao finally appeared on the battlefield. Cao De looked at the battlefield at his feet, nodded lightly, and said to Cao Cao beside him: "Brother, the situation here is already obvious, I don't know what happened to Zilian and Yide."
yes, on this battlefield. The center is full of yellow turban soldiers with yellow scarves wrapped around their heads. Outside, Cao Dejun, dressed in red. At this moment, Cao De's army has completed the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army. And the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun had already been deeply inserted into the formation of the Yellow Turban Army like a cone.
The defeat of the Yellow Turbans, if there are no other surprises, is only a matter of time.
And not far away in the city of Qinghe. The heavy hammer battalion led by Cao Hong and Zhang Fei had also entered Qinghe City. After breaking through the defensive wall composed of nearly a thousand Yellow Turban Army, the entire Qinghe City had no resistance. And Zhang Bao is missing at the moment.
Just after Cao Hong and Zhang Fei and his people had just occupied Zhang Bao's previous residence. Zhang Fei immediately ordered people to find the gold and silver treasures left by Zhang Bao. This is something that Cao De told Zhang Fei several times before acting. And Cao Hong went directly to find the granary.
Zhang Fei didn't have much effort to find Zhang Bao's treasure at all. Zhang Fei looked at the colorful treasures in front of him. The two eyes glowed golden. And then a noisy sound came.
Zhang Fei shouted happily and walked out. But after going out, Zhang Fei was surprised to find that there was still a group of cavalry wearing official uniforms in Qinghe City. Yes, that's right. Zhang Fei's eyes were like bells, could he be wrong? What is not a cavalry on horseback.
Zhang Fei grinned, "Who are you?" I don't know if this place is already occupied by us. Hurry up to the city to capture the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Zhang Fei was talking, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the flag held by the group of cavalry, with two big characters "Gongsun" written on it.
Gongsun Chan is really here!
Yes, Gongsun Chan is here. Just when Cao Hong and Zhang Fei were fighting the 1,000 Yellow Turban Army who had died at the south gate of Qinghe City, Gongsun Zhan came.
When Gongsun Chan arrived at the north gate, he heard that the city was bustling, and the city gate in the city gate cave had just been closed. At that time, Gongsun Zhan was very strange, why, could it be that Cao Er was stunned and defeated? Just when Gongsun Chan was confused. Suddenly, one of his soldiers came and reported that there were several suspicious people in the nearby woods, but they were not caught. Gongsun Zhan's mind was now on Qinghe City, and he didn't care about the few people who escaped at all.
Gongsun Chan thought about it for a while, slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted, "It's broken." Then Gongsun Chan's army immediately began to attack the city. As Gongsun Chan thought, the army didn't take much effort to open the city gates. Gongsun Chan took the lead in entering the city. Then he immediately rushed to the center of the city with his soldiers. But it was still a step too late, and when Gongsun Chan arrived, he had already seen a group of soldiers in official uniforms standing guard there.
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Chan began to question those officers and soldiers. And how proud the soldiers of the Heavy Hammer Battalion who followed Zhang Fei were. Besides, they had just been abused by the cavalry under the banner of Gongsun for a while. There was no anger in the number of Gongsun Zhan. They also thought that these cavalrymen were still pretending to be their own people. Therefore, the words are a little mean and a little snarky.
Gongsun Zhan, how can he stand this anger, he talks to you in a good voice, but you treat me like this. Gongsun Chan hadn't had time to attack, but his soldiers came faster. Gradually, a few people got on the bar. At this moment, Zhang Fei heard the shouting, and he also came out to take a look. It doesn't matter if you take a look, people are really Gongsun Chan is here, and Cao De instructed in advance that if you encounter a cavalry under the banner of Gongsun, there is a chance that Gongsun Chan is coming, and you must be peaceful at that time, don't really fight with your own family.
Zhang Fei really remembered this sentence, but as soon as he saw the grievances of his soldiers, he couldn't help but get angry. Zhang Fei was about to step forward with the theory of force, yes, it is the theory of force, not the theory. Cao Hong is here.
