"The enemy general is reckless, and Xu Huang is also here." The horse held the axe blade to kill Xu Huang, who was rushing to the horse, and saw Cao Hong's knife falling, and a sergeant fell, and he was angry, he snorted coldly, and the axe blade and gun in his hand burst out, and he grabbed Cao Hong's knife and blocked the opponent's long knife.

"Stand back." When saving the sergeant under Cao Hong's knife, Xu Huang shouted, and with a pick of the axe and gun, he attacked Cao Hong with stabs and slashes like a storm.

Cao Hong, who has been fighting for a long time, although he is happy to kill, but his physical strength is consumed a lot, in the face of Xu Huang, whose strength is obviously slightly higher than him, at first, he can still defend the middle and lead the attack, but when he stands at about 20 rendezvous, he completely falls into the disadvantage.

"Wow!" Cao Hong, who fell into the downwind, knew that if he was so passive, he was likely to be killed, he burst out with an angry roar in his mouth, holding the knife in both hands and slashing towards Xu Huang, while Xu Huang was back, he pulled out his horse and wanted to break out, but he obviously overestimated his combat effectiveness at the moment, and underestimated Xu Huang's bravery.

"Die!" This is the word that came out of Xu Huang's mouth, in the face of Cao Hong's sharp blade, Xu Huang not only did not retreat, but bullied his horse to meet him, when the blade crossed his neck, he quickly leaned over the horse's back, and the axe blade gun in his hand took advantage of the situation to stab out.

"It's not good...... Cao Hong put away his knife and turned around to ride his horse just about to gallop, when he heard the sound of breaking wind from his lower back, he secretly screamed in his heart, he didn't have time to dodge, and the stinging pain of the cold blade piercing through his body made his body uncontrollable, his eyes instantly bulged, and a boundless darkness began to spread in front of his eyes.

"Poof!" Xu Huang did not hesitate at all, when the axe blade gun in his hand stabbed Cao Hong in the back, he pushed it, and the cold and sharp blade directly penetrated out, and Cao Hong on the horseback let out a scream like a beast, and the body on the horse's back also fell off the horse's back.

"Kill me!" Xu Huang, who snorted coldly, struggled to withdraw the axe blade spear at the same time, and killed a Cao soldier who rushed up with a spear in his backhand, and trampled the horse on the fallen corpse.

"Kill, kill, kill......" The soldiers on the left and right roared angrily, and their morale penetrated through the enemy formation like a rainbow.

At this moment, Cao Ren, who was in command of the Chinese army, did not know the news that Cao Hong had died at the hands of Xu Huang, but he was originally going to hold on to preserve his strength and wait for rescue, but he would face Zhao Yun who killed on the left and right, and Zhou Tai was surrounded by several times his own Red Flame Army, so he had to issue a military order to retreat.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong sent troops to feint to attack the city this time, and each brought 2,000 men and horses, but this would face the four main armies of Xu Huang's front army, Tai Shici's rear army, Zhao Yun's left army, and Zhou Tai's right army, surrounded by more than 15,000 superior forces, there was no room for counterattack.

If it weren't for Cao Ren's command, his usual prestige, and the fact that his foot soldiers were all elites, he would have barely maintained a retreat posture, but he was afraid that he would have already collapsed.

The battle under the city of Tancheng reached Cao Cao's ears as soon as possible, and without the slightest hesitation, Cao Cao immediately reacted: "Xiahou Dun will immediately lead the iron cavalry to attack, and be sure to rescue Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Yu Ban and Li Dianru will lead their troops to intercept the enemy, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jinru will be responsible for responding, and the rest of the generals will immediately prepare to retreat and discard all the materials that are not necessary." ”

With years of battlefield experience, Cao Cao was keenly aware that Han Lie had begun to counterattack, and it was just when he was preparing to retreat, and the counterattack at this time undoubtedly broke all his previous plans.

Cao Cao, as a veteran general on the battlefield, also realized at this time that he must retreat immediately, otherwise once he is entangled, the result is likely to be the end of the entire army, so he made a decision at the first time, leaving Yu Ban and Li Dian, who are good at generals, to gain more time for the retreat of the main army.

"Whoa." All the generals under Cao's account received orders one after another.

The five thousand iron cavalry commanded by Xiahoudun was not brought out by Cao Cao, but the cavalry under Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei in the past, since Bao Xin died in battle, this cavalry fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and has always been Cao Cao's trump card.

In the battle of Xuzhou for more than a month, this cavalry has been in the rear to recuperate, never on the battlefield, Cao Cao has not called this cavalry for the purpose of preparing to use it at the most critical moment, and now for Cao Cao, it is obviously a critical moment of life and death.

This cavalry is usually led by Cao Ren's brother Cao Chun, but at this time, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun to lead the cavalry to attack, not because he didn't believe Cao Chun, but because he was worried that Cao Chun, who had just become an adult, was not rich in combat experience, so as not to delay the fighter, but even so, Cao Chun still assisted Xiahou Dun as a deputy general to lead the cavalry to kill.

On the field battlefield, cavalry has always been the top class of troops on the battlefield with its terrifying impact lethality. Five thousand cavalry, which is already the limit for Cao Cao, who is located in the heart of the Central Plains, and Han Lie, who is located in Xuzhou, does not even have a cavalry of real scale in his hands.

The war horses under his account are only a few hundred at the moment, and they are still the old foundations of the past, and now they are all assigned to the mounts of the generals in various armies, so naturally they cannot organize cavalry.

"Boom ......"

The formation of 5,000 iron horsemen definitely exceeded the impact of 30,000 foot soldiers, and I saw that on the empty ground plane, still a few miles away, the galloping and whistling iron horses swept like a torrent.

"Array of archers!" Tai Shici, the general of the rear army, can be said to be the most experienced one in cavalry combat under Han Lie's account, and he has taken refuge in Liaodong for many years, and he is no stranger to Wuhuan, Xianbei, Goguryeo and other foreign cavalry.

The best way to deal with cavalry is not a strong city defense, but a stronger cavalry formation, because only faster and more lethal than the enemy can effectively kill and defeat the enemy.

This was followed by a dense crowd of archers, as if with a palisade, as well as pikemen. Tai Shi Ci had 500 strong archers under his tent, and they were able to fire two rounds of arrows when the cavalry rushed to him, and the 3,500 soldiers under his tent were all armed with one long and two short spearmen.

Because people hold several guns, Tai Shici's rear army is used to being called double spearmen by the sergeants of the army. The long spear is about four feet long, weighing no more than four catties and six taels, and the spear is sharp and slender when the blade is long, which is conducive to volleying.

Another person who has experience in cavalry combat is naturally Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun also went to the Hetao area when he was young, saw the cavalry phalanx of the Huns, and also knew the first wave of cavalry impact, and categorically could not blatantly touch it, so before seeing the huge cavalry phalanx rushing to kill, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "The soldiers of the whole army are approaching the phalanx of General Tai Shici, and the archers are arrayed on the left flank, ready to meet the enemy." ”

At this moment, Xu Huang has already led the front army and strangled with Cao Ren's department, and he has already been in the enemy with me, and I have the enemy, regardless of each other.

Although he saw the cavalry rushing to kill, Xu Huang did not have the slightest fear, in his opinion, the enemy cavalry rushed to kill, it must be in response to the enemy in front of him, and he would definitely not charge directly into battle, as long as he was strangled with the enemy, he would not face the cavalry's assault.

In the face of the roaring cavalry, Zhou Tai, who lacked experience in dealing with cavalry, showed the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Zhou Tai, who was holding the steel long-handled ring head knife, did not hesitate at all, and said excitedly: "Soldiers, the time for meritorious service has come, kill with me." ”

On the empty hilly battlefield, Tai Shici, as the main force of the cavalry, fired the first round of arrow rain as soon as the Xiahoudun cavalry entered the firing range, and just as the strong archers exchanged arrows, the spearmen in the back row rushed out a few steps and threw the sharp short spears in their hands.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

More than 1,000 short spears thrown by the rapid sprint, like locusts in transit, fell into the cavalry phalanx that came from the storm, and in the blink of an eye, there were bursts of screams and screams from the cavalry phalanx that rushed like a tsunami.

"Poof! Poof! ”

"Bang, bang......"

The sound of the knight who died with a short spear falling from his horse, and the mournful sound of the horse falling to the ground with a wounded horse, resounded throughout the battlefield for a while.

With the second round of short spears thrown, the cavalry led by Xiahoudun and the cavalry that sprinted to the front of the formation, Tai Shici, who immediately stood in front of the formation with a horizontal spear, did not show the slightest fear in the face of the Cao cavalry, which had not weakened much.

"Kill!" This is Tai Shici's cold face, and the attack order that bursts out of his mouth.

"Kill." Zhao Yun on the left flank also rushed out with a gun.

On the right flank, Zhou Tai had already inserted into Xiahoudun's cavalry phalanx from the flank when Tai Shici's department shot the second round of arrow rain.

This battle was destined to be tragic, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were elite divisions of a hundred battles, and the commanders were all first-class generals in the world. Although in terms of troops, the Red Flame Army has an advantage, and its combat effectiveness and willpower are the best in the world, but in the small hilly area outside Tancheng City, it is undoubtedly more conducive to the play of cavalry.

On the battlefield at this moment, the torrent of iron horses led by Xiahoudun and Cao Chun is like a meat grinder, galloping back and forth, with flesh and blood flying and corpses all over the field.

The brave and fearless Red Flame Army will almost lose the power to fight back.

Upstairs in Dongcheng, Han Lie, who had a resolute gaze, unconsciously pressed his right hand on the hilt of the Tai'a Treasure Sword on his waist.

"Order, the Chinese army is lined up, follow me to attack." At this moment, Han Lie's body was filled with a fierce killing intent, like a sword out of its sheath, which made people feel terrified.

"Hugh Mu, the burden of Dongcheng Tower and the city defense will be handed over to you." When Han Lie turned around and went down the tower, his sharp gaze swept over Zhu Huan's face, solemnly patted Zhu Huan's shoulder, and then walked away.

"The last general will live up to the trust of the lord." Zhu Huan bowed and bowed, and said in a deep voice.

Downstairs at the city gate, the officers and soldiers of the Red Flame Army, who had already been ready to go, saw Han Lie, who was wearing black light armor, wearing a dark brocade robe, and galloping with a horizontal sword, they all raised their weapons and shouted: "The general is mighty, the general is mighty!" ”

"Soldiers, you are the truly mighty warriors. Now, for the glory of your feats and the people who defend your homeland, please take up the weapons in your hands and sweep away the thieves with me with an invincible momentum. ”

Although Han Lie's voice was not loud, his sonorous and powerful words clearly reached the ears of the soldiers of the three armies, and Dian Wei, who had already boiled blood before the military formation, raised his arms and roared: "Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The Daxu battle flag waving in the wind, just like the meaning of its existence, was like a dazzling weather vane, and when he appeared on the tragic battlefield with Han Lie's figure, the eyes of the officers and men of the Red Flame Army all glowed.

"General, it's the general who came to our aid."

This is the voice of all the officers and men of the Red Flame Army who are in the midst of a bitter battle.

"Brothers, do you see it, the general is coming, they all rush up with me and kill the damn fiercely!" Zhou Tai, who was surrounded by several cavalrymen, was already bloodstained with blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or human blood, his eyes were cold, holding a steel knife, and when he rushed left and right, the steel knife slashed horizontally and flew between the flights, and a cavalryman holding a long knife stabbed at him, and before the knife arrived, the head had been cut out.

"Lao Dian, did you see the moving battle flag, if my expectations are right, that person is Xiahoudun who you regretted not being able to kill last time, now I will give you the opportunity to lead other sergeants and paste it on me, be sure to kill this person." The moment he rushed into the enemy formation, the war horse knife in Han Lie's hand swung and slashed down, an enemy rider who rushed to kill, even the people and horses were killed by Han Lie on the spot, and the blood gushing up splashed the face of the soldiers behind Han Lie.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will take his head and return to the lord." Dian Wei roared hotly, and led a sergeant, like a sharp knife, into the dusty battlefield, when Xiahou Dun in the battle array found Dian Wei's traces, Dian Wei had already killed him.

"Xiahou Xiao'er, take your life." Dian Wei, who came out of the horse, swept out with the iron halberd in his hand, like Dian Wei with angry eyes, and the long iron halberd in his hand fell like a pillar of optimus.

"General be careful." Xiahoudun's own soldiers pounced one after another, and while stopping the fatal blow for Xiahoudun, their bodies were directly swept out by the iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand, and they couldn't die anymore.

"Damn." Xiahoudun, who got this moment of respite, saw that Dian Wei's iron halberd was exhausted, and when he didn't have time to retract it, he stabbed out with a backhand and took Dian Wei's heart.

"Boom!"

Just when Xiahoudun's blade stabbed in front of Dian Wei, Dian Wei had already raised his left hand, pulled out a short iron halberd from his back, and slashed at Xiahoudun's blade.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Dian Wei's mouth, and the iron halberd in his left hand was thrown out, and the long iron halberd in his right hand swirled, and the willow moon-like halberd blade barb hung into the armor around Xiahoudun's waist with a snort, and the sharp crescent blade pierced into Xiahoudun's skin at once.

"Hmm." Xiahoudun, whose skin was cut by the sharp crescent blade, let out a soft snort from his mouth.

Xiahoudun, who didn't care about the pain, waved his knife and picked it, and when he blocked Dian Wei's iron halberd, he rode his horse and ran to the rear, if in normal times, Xiahou Tang would inevitably fight with Dian Wei for a while, so knowing that he was invincible, he would definitely not be afraid.

But now he is leading the cavalry to attack, in order to respond to the rescue of Cao Ren's retreat, if he falls into a bitter battle instead, it will not be contrary to the original intention.

"The thief will leave." Dian Wei's mission this time was to come to Xiahoudun, and where was he willing to let him go, so he shot his horse and rushed up. (To be continued.) )
