29.Chapter 29: Cao Cao's fiasco
Cao Cao also saw the rout of the left flank, but he didn't want to retreat, he couldn't. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnce you retire, the entire Cao army will be finished. Therefore, he could only pretend to turn a blind eye and continue to charge Xu Rongzhong's army with the army, in order to gain a glimmer of life.
Cao Hong did not rush to the front, but kept a certain distance from Cao Cao. He knew that protecting Cao Cao was his focus.
The boss is the soul of the army!
When the commander is here, the army can have a soul and charge into battle.
Xiahoudun and Wei Zi practiced good martial arts, rushed to the front, and led the right-wing army to be faster than the Chinese army.
In the darkness, the five thousand Xiliang troops of the Chinese army did not move like a mountain.
Xu Rong had already retreated into the formation, and at the forefront was the heavy infantry holding a giant shield, guarding the Chinese army like a turtle shell.
Of the 5,000 Chinese troops, about 3,000 were archers, all of whom were armed with bows and arrows, ready to go. Just wait for Xu Rong's order, and then launch an attack on Cao's army.
"Order the cavalry on the left and right flanks to start acting according to the plan!" Xu Rong looked at the left flank of the defeated Cao army, and his eyes were full of murder.
This time, he didn't want to defeat this Cao army, but to annihilate them all!
The cavalry on the left and right flanks is the mobile force that completely annihilates the Cao army, and it will hit the left and right flanks of the Cao army like a stone hitting an egg, and it will be broken with one blow!
"Cavalry attack!" Three thousand cavalry on the left and right wings of the Xiliang Army launched an attack, which shook the entire earth, and even the sound of rushing water was completely suppressed.
"Kill me!" Cao Cao waved the iron lance in his hand, and under the leadership of his personal guards, he rushed over fearlessly.
"Shoot me! Not a single one to stay! Xu Rong was not to be outdone, seeing that Cao Jun had already entered the archers' shooting range, he hurriedly gave an order to the archers.
"Whew!"
A large number of bows and arrows fell from the sky, like rain, but for Cao Jun, who went out without a shield, this was quite deadly.
Cao Jun fell down a lot like harvesting rice, but still rushed forward.
Cao Hong used his spear to pull away many bows and arrows, and he fought his way out.
"Cao Jun, listen, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be killed!"
The Xiliang cavalry shouted loudly, like a gust of wind, and crashed towards the left and right flanks of Cao Jun.
The first to hit was Cao Jun, who was charging on the right flank, and as Xu Rong expected, he smashed the right flank that charged first.
The cavalry carried a tremendous impact, and these lightly armed infantry could not withstand it.
Xiahoudun was mighty, and the spear in his hand opened the bow left and right, like the nightmare of the Xiliang cavalry, harvesting the lives of the Xiliang cavalry.
The two brothers, Cao Ang and Cao Anming, followed Xiahoudun on the left and right, and launched a counterattack on the Xiliang cavalry.
Cao Anmin fought steadily, dancing the big knife in his hand fiercely, basically killing one with two knives.
Cao Ang's words had already understood the key to this battle, and he shouted again and again, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, stabbing a cavalryman to death with one shot.
Seeing that the main general was so brave, the soldiers of the Cao army behind him had already put away the fear in their hearts, and fought with the Xiliang cavalry, basically exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives.
The cavalry on the left flank also quickly rushed to the Bianshui River and launched an assault on Zhang Chao's army, which had no intention of fighting.
Although Zhang Chao's army numbered as many as 4,000, the main general was depressed, and the soldiers lacked unified command, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, only to scream again and again, and died in the hands of the Xiliang cavalry.
The two single-plank bridges connecting the two banks of the Bianshui River became the life-saving grass for Zhang Chao's army to escape, and they all rushed up, for fear that they would run slowly and would not be able to cross the river.
Many of Zhang Chao's soldiers were pushed into the water by their own people, fell into the boiling water, and let out a miserable scream, so they could only float with the waves and resign themselves to fate.
"Make way for the General!" The left and right generals shouted angrily for a while, but no one paid attention.
"No mercy!" Zhang Chao was a little annoyed, these guys were so ignorant that they glanced at the left and right generals.
The left and right generals were not polite, and directly ordered the guards to cut down several people before gaining control of a single-plank bridge.
Zhang Chao was escorted by the Guards, and then fled to the other side in a hurry, looking at the deserters who were still pouring in, and the cavalry who were constantly killing and pursuing, there was a hint of determination between his eyebrows.
"Tear down these two single-plank bridges for me!" Zhang Chao gave an order to the left and right generals.
"But General, half of our men haven't crossed the river yet, so why don't we wait?" The left and right generals are a little unbearable, they are forced to kill just now, and it is even more shameful to leave their companions.
"Wait, wait! Wait for all the cavalry on the opposite side to rush over? Zhang Chao scolded angrily: "Do you still want to live?" ”
"General, my subordinates will send someone to do it!" When the left and right generals heard this, they were also shocked, and hurriedly led the guards to do this.
Amid the angry scolding of the deserters on the bridge and on the other side, the two single-plank bridges, which represent the hope of life, all rolled into the boiling water.
In the face of the surging rain of arrows, Cao Cao also fell into danger for a time, and the BMW he sat on was pierced through the heart by an arrow, and even people and horses fell to the ground.
Thanks to Cao Hong, he saw it and found a horse for Cao Cao, which stabilized.
"All the troops! Capture Cao Cao alive! Xu Rong behaved very calmly, pointed the spear in his hand, and launched the last order!
"Kill!"
"Capture Cao Cao alive!"
The archers also changed their melee weapons, and together with the 20,000 army, they launched the final blow against the defeated Cao army!
Cao's army has long been defeated, and Xiahoudun and Cao Hong can still lead hundreds of people to fight against the Xiliang army, but it won't last long.
No matter how powerful the generals are, they can't stand the enemy's large number of people.
In the face of the strong attack of the Western Liang army, the Cao army could only be reduced to a lamb to the slaughter and was slaughtered by the Western Liang army.
At this time, I saw Wei Zi with a group of soldiers surrounding him, surrounded Cao Cao in the middle, and hurriedly said: "General Fenwu, the enemy army is too strong to do anything in this battle, you better retreat first!" ”
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them!
Cao Cao saw that Wei Zi was covered in blood, and he didn't forget to let himself escape, and he was really grateful in his heart!
"Zilian, let's retreat!" Cao Cao is a hero after all, and when he saw that he couldn't do anything about it, he said to Cao Hong who was not far away.
"Good! Come with me, Lord! Cao Hong also understood the reason, cut down a Xiliang soldier, and turned the horse's head!
"Cover the lord!" Xiahoudun also knew a thing or two in the night, but in order to let Cao Cao go first, he took his men and horses to join Weizi's death squad and frantically counterattacked the Xiliang army!
"People, you go first!" Cao Ang shouted and shot a Xiliang soldier who wanted to sneak attack Cao Anmin to death!
"Good!" At this moment, Cao Anmin couldn't refuse, and he also turned his horse's head and galloped towards Bianshui. In his heart, Cao Ang would never harm him.
"Cao's army is defeated!"
The Xiliang army shouted loudly, constantly harvesting the lives of the Cao army's soldiers!
Cao Jun collapsed on all fronts and ran to the edge of Bianshui desperately, because only by escaping there could he have any hope of survival!
