Chapter 755: The Last Battle (14)
All the Cao army, they are completely petrified, this war, it seems that it is a matter of two things from what they think, they have obviously destroyed the camp of the New Han Army, in this military camp that should be clear at a glance, the New Han Army in the barracks, at this time, should have been also relied on by the crossbow and bull bow, should have also killed a large number of New Han troops.
But why? Why, why did the New Han Army, which was obviously in the camp before, suddenly appear in front of the camp like a ghost?
This is indeed too surprising, no matter what the soldiers of the Cao army thought, they did not expect that the soldiers of the New Han Army would unexpectedly sneak out of the camp, lurking hundreds of steps away from their camp.
It's too ingenious, Cao Jun just wanted to destroy the camp of the New Han Army and attack the New Han Army in the camp, but he didn't think that the New Han Army would actually have this. Just by lurking outside the camp, they can avoid the blows of their crossbows, and they can also give them a sudden and tragic ambush.
The bows and arrows of the New Han Army, ruthlessly harvesting the Cao soldiers not far from them, and the Cao soldiers fell in a pool of blood, screaming in horror.
The Tribulus Terrestris Array is scattered around the camp of the New Han Army, and the Iron Tribulus terrestris needed is really incalculable, and this time Liu Yi personally led the army to come, although there were a lot of Tribulus terrestris carried by him, but it was not too much, and he could only ensure that a large Tribulus terrestris array with a width of about 100 steps was laid in front of him.
In fact, when the Cao army approached while cleaning up these thistles, it was already less than a hundred steps away from the lurking distance of the New Han army.
So. With the range of the bow and arrow of the New Han Army, enter the Cao army around the lurking circle. The number of people is quite impressive. It can be said that the kind of indiscriminate and covering style of the New Han Army. Under the blow of extremely fast rate of fire, the Cao army that entered the range of the bow and arrow of the New Han Army, they had almost no chance of escaping alive.
The whining bow and arrows were like a tsunami in the mountains, shocking Cao Bing's heart.
After a moment's effort, in front of the New Han Army's lurking formation, there were already corpses everywhere, rivers of blood, and Cao soldiers who fell to the ground. Some of them were still a little angry, and let out a terrible scream.
Cao Jun couldn't bear such a blow, and after they were stunned, they retreated in horror as if they had seen a ghost, like a low tide. Cao Bing, who was still within the range of the bow and arrow of the New Han Army, only hated that his father and mother had two legs missing, and cried and fled for their lives.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
The Xinhan army retreated in horror when they saw Cao Jun being killed, where would they be polite to them? Liu Yi gave an order. The order quickly reached the ears of the soldiers of the New Han Army who surrounded the Flame Camp.
300,000 New Han troops, at this time, there are fierce tigers in the mountains, and they are going forward.
The large camp of the New Han Army has been destroyed by the Cao Army. Naturally, it is no longer possible to passively wait for Cao Jun to regroup before attacking. If the Cao army, which had attacked the front, retreated, and after they adjusted, then it would be the end of the New Han army.
So. The New Han Army knew that they had no way out. No matter how many men and horses the Cao army in front of them were, they had to attack and kill. Engage the Cao army, who has been beaten to the point of losing their courage, so that you can avoid the blows of Cao's bed crossbows, crossbows, and trebuchets.
When the New Han Army launched a bow and arrow attack on the Cao Army, the Iron Thistle Array, which was almost cleaned by the Cao Army, was no longer an obstacle to the New Han Army's charging attack, because at the same time as the bow and arrow array released the arrows, there were already engineers of the New Han Army who came forward to clean up the Iron Thistle terrestris, even if it was not completely cleaned, they also cleared out a passage for the New Han Army soldiers to rush out.
Liu Yi took the lead, and the snow-white white dragon horse was particularly dazzling in the night, leading the New Han Army and plunging into the defeated army of Cao's army.
The dragon spear is full of shadows, murderous, and wherever it passes, it is a bloody road.
Liu Yi did not show mercy to his subordinates at this moment, because Liu Yi knew very well that if Cao Cao was not defeated in a dignified manner, Cao Cao would definitely not be reconciled, and it was definitely not based on words, it was possible to persuade Cao Cao to give up the ambition in his heart. Only when Cao Cao is struck in all directions to the point that he has no power to fight back, and the blow is completely desperate, Cao Cao will be relieved.
At this moment, Liu Yi will not think about it, these Cao soldiers are also the children of the Han people. Because Liu Yi knew that even now, if the million-strong army of Cao Jun was wiped out, it would not affect the vitality of the Han people.
After the unification of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yi believed that the Han people would usher in an explosive population growth. Killing these millions of Cao troops at this moment will not affect the strength of the Han people in the future.
With Liu Yi's example and ruthless killing, the generals and soldiers of the New Han Army who followed Liu Yi behind him, they would not consider these, in their eyes, they could only move forward! Forward! Rush to kill! Rush to kill!
The soldiers of the two Modao battalions of the First Army, they divided a battalion of men and horses to charge the Cao army in the other direction. The old camp followed behind Lewy.
The soldiers of this battalion of Modao Battalion, their rush was violent, the big blades were raised and fell, and the Cao soldiers in front of them were directly killed on the ground as if they had been broken. They are like bulldozers, and everywhere they go, they are crushed.
Of course, what followed Liu Yi even more closely was the cavalry battalion of the First Army, dressed in silver armor, even with a silver mask on their faces, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, like ghost knights from hell, ruthlessly chasing and killing Cao Bing who was fleeing for his life.
The soldiers trapped in the camp, their spears were like a forest, and when they killed Cao Bing, no matter whether Cao Bing fled or dared to fight, they were all stabbed to the ground by rows of stabs, and no one could survive.
This is only the situation of the first army, the 300,000 New Han army, there are more than 10 armies, each army, all arms of the coordination seamlessly, when charging to kill the enemy, there will still be a battalion-level unit of each army and all branches of the army can echo each other from afar, so that it will not be overwhelmed by the counterattack of the Cao army in the sea-like Cao army.
However, the defeat was like a mountain, in the middle of Cao's army, at this moment. Especially when their military formation was already in disarray, they simply could not organize a counterattack in time.
The camp of the 300,000-strong army of the New Han Army. Occupying a hillside within a radius of several miles, when Cao's army surrounded and killed. A circular formation was formed, and the army formation compressed over. However, now that Cao's army suddenly suffered such a heavy blow, the defeat was like a mountain, and it had to flee in all directions in the blink of an eye, which made this battlefield, which had been compressed to a radius of more than ten miles, spread out to all sides at once, making the entire field a big battlefield.
Now, of course, it's not all in the dark, even if there are still no stars in the sky. But on this field, fires have risen everywhere, so that on this field, you can see shadowy figures everywhere, and there are people and horses of the New Han Army and the Cao Army who are chasing and being hunted and killed everywhere.
Cao Cao was really a little desperate at the moment.
Even though he heard the report from the front that had escaped back to him, he still couldn't accept the fact. He really didn't understand, it was obviously his own army that had the advantage, and it was obviously his own Cao army that was besieging the New Han army. It seems that Liu Yi's new Han army can be destroyed. However, why at the last moment, it was his own Cao army that was defeated and fled?
Cao Cao is really hard to understand.
Because, even if it was subjected to this kind of trickery from the New Han Army. It was indeed a bit of an unexpected counter-ambush, and his army would not have fled in such a hurry.
The scenes of the war, the course of the battle. It can be reflected in Cao Cao's mind. Even if his own long-range attack weapons failed to cause casualties to the New Han Army. Even if his own stormtrooping horses were blocked by the kind of thistles of the New Han Army, even if his own charging army suffered a sudden blow from the bow and arrow array of the New Han Army. But so what? How many casualties can be inflicted on their own Cao army? Tens? Lakh? More than 100,000? He has more than a million military horses. This is a real military horse, and it is by no means an imaginary number.
Even if his own army loses 300,000 or 400,000 men and horses at once, his army can still maintain its absolute superiority over the Xinhan army, and it is completely possible to counterattack the Xinhan army and wipe out this Xinhan army here. However, why did his own military horses only scatter and flee for their lives at this time, and they couldn't stop them at all, why is this?
Cao Cao's face was pale, and he trembled.
This time, the blow he received was too great, and if in such a situation, his Cao army still lost the battle and lost to the New Han army, then he would be completely finished. However, the reality is in front of him, his Cao army is fleeing, and the New Han army is chasing and killing. He was powerless to deal with the disaster.
What else can he do at this time? Ordered the sergeant to fight back? Kill the deserters with military justice and stop the fleeing Cao soldiers? But does it work?
"Prime Minister! We...... Withdraw ......"
Some civil officials and strategists said to Cao Cao in a little panic.
"Withdraw? Where else can we retreat? Hateful! Hateful ...... ...... vomit"
Cao Cao's chest ached, his brain went blank all of a sudden, and a mouthful of blood spit out.
"Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”
……
Cao Cao slowly softened and fainted.
A group of relatives hurriedly stepped forward to support them.
"The tide is over...... The tide is gone......"
Cao Ren and other generals who were still by Cao Cao's side also sighed with hatred.
In the end, he still escorted Cao Cao, who had already passed unconscious, to escape from the battlefield in a hurry and return to Chenliu.
No one noticed that a young scholar who had been following Cao Cao during this time, after seeing Cao Cao vomiting blood and fainting, quietly hid in the dark, away from Cao Cao's close ministers and generals.
He is Sima Yi.
He was still by Cao Cao's side after Sima Zheng went to destroy the luck dragon veins of the New Han Dynasty and did not come back. However, after this battle, he already understood very well that Cao Cao had returned to heaven and strength, and there was no possibility of success. The overall plan designed by his uncle and him to hide by Cao Cao's side and seize Cao Cao's power in the future is already in the mirror, and it is impossible to realize it again.
Don't look at Sima Yi's age now, but his mind is quite mature. He knew that since Sima Hui was killed, he had lost a strong backer, and he also understood that if he fell into the hands of Liu Yi, it was estimated that his fate would definitely not be good. Therefore, he decided to leave Cao Cao and find another way.
Liu Yi didn't know that Sima Yi would appear in another identity more than ten years later, and he was infiltrated into the court of the New Han Dynasty, and became a political opponent in the court with Zhuge Liang, almost becoming a stumbling block for the Han Dynasty to dig up the hegemony of the world.
However, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
Beneath the darkness of the wilderness, the battle continues.
Not all of the Cao army fled for their lives, after all, there were too many of their military horses, the military horses in front fled back, and the military horses in the back, the Cao army, which could still maintain the formation, still dared to fight with the New Han Army under the leadership of some Cao generals. However, it was also the end of the crossbow, and under the overall defeat, it was impossible for individual Cao Jun's military horses to turn the situation around.
In the early hours of the morning, countless military horses and torches were killed in the mountains in the distance, and the entire northern sky seemed to be dyed red.
It was Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and other generals of the New Han Army, who led their military horses to kill.
The generals of the New Han Army, they didn't know that Cao Cao had dispatched an army of more than 100,000 to besiege Liu Yi's New Han Army. However, they also received information that Cao Cao's army and horses were gathered in Chen Liucheng, and it was easy to guess that the strength of Liu Yi's New Han army might not be able to confront Cao Cao's army. Therefore, they decided to march overnight and rush to join up with Liu Yi's army. As a result, it happened to be a big battle.
The military horses of the New Han Army from all walks of life came overnight and joined the battlefield and became the last straw that overwhelmed the Cao army.
Even the Cao army, who still dared to resist the attack of Liu Yi's new Han army, no longer had the heart to fight at this time.
The whole army retreated!
This battle lasted until dawn, and there were deserters everywhere, as well as the pursuers of the New Han Army.
In the end, the Cao army, which fled back to Chenliu, only 500,000 or 600,000 remained, and the Cao army directly lost most of the military horses.
In this battle, the New Han Army directly killed the tens of thousands and 200,000 military horses of the Cao army, and the corpses of its Cao soldiers were really piled up. In addition, a large number of prisoners were captured.
If it weren't for the fact that Cao's army was on the periphery, it was convenient to escape from defeat, and Cao's army's losses might have been even greater.
Without waiting to clean up the field, Liu Yi led the army to kill outside Chen Liucheng first, and ordered the army to surround Chen Liucheng to a flood.
In addition, they hurriedly sent fast horses to inform the new Han army in Yanzhou, Zhuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou, informing them of the current situation of Cao's army, and they immediately launched a full-scale attack on Cao's army, taking advantage of Cao Cao's siege in Chenliu, more than half of his army was lost, and the rest were also trapped in Chenliu, and captured Xudu.
