Chapter 331: The tiger and leopard rode out of Xu Capital City at night

Yuan's army attacked the city, and the rolling logs and boulders fell one after another.

Against the arrows shot by Cao Jun, the soldiers of the Yuan Army rushed to the foot of the city wall with a ladder.

At the head of the city, Cao Jun pushed down the rolling logs, picked up the boulder and smashed it at Yuan Jun, who was climbing the ladder.

Yuan Jun, who was climbing along the ladder, was smashed down by boulders and rolling logs.

Many fell to the ground, and boulders hit their heads and bodies.

Outside the city of Xudu, it became a bloody Shura field.

Looking at the battlefield under the city, Zhang He hated to kill several partial generals immediately.

The forcible siege of the city by 3,000 Yuan troops is tantamount to sending them to death!

As the main general, he did not dare to go against the wishes of several partial generals, after all, they came to supervise the battle on Yuan Shao's orders.

The Yuan army attacked the city very tightly, and there were only 1,000 Cao troops at the head of the city, but they never let half of the Yuan army climb up.

After several days of siege, Yuan's army suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the soldiers were wounded, and more than 500 were killed in battle.

"Can you see it?" Zhang He asked several partial generals angrily: "Our army has been attacking the city for days, can we make any achievements?" ”

The generals were silent.

On that day, they forced Zhang He to order a siege of the city.

The resistance of the Cao army defending the city was fierce, and although the Yuan army rose to help, it was always difficult to climb the city wall.

Obey Yuan Shao, they bear the brunt of it, but no one dares to take the blame!

Zhang He was full of anger, but he didn't have any way to take them!

Night fell quietly, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had returned in vain, returned to the barracks dejectedly.

At the head of the city, Xiahou Jie said: "The enemy army is tired from attacking the city for several days, and our army should be able to leave the city!" ”

Cao Chun said: "What the general said is very true, a certain was ordered by Cao Gong to rebuild the tiger and leopard cavalry. Although the soldiers and horses are excellent, they have never been on the battlefield, so they can take advantage of this experience! ”

"The general is planning a night attack?"

"Out of town at night. But it's not a night attack! Cao Chun smiled indifferently.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the camps of the Yuan army lit bonfires.

The flames jumped. The tents were also gilded with a dim halo.

Most of the exhausted soldiers of the Yuan army had already fallen asleep, and only a few murmurs of wounded soldiers could be heard occasionally in the barracks.

Inside the city of Xudu.

Six hundred fast horses were lined up, waiting for Cao Chun to give an order.

Riding a horse, Cao Chun walked back and forth twice in front of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Le Ma stopped, and he shouted to the soldiers: "When the Yuan army besieged the city, a certain person had already planned to lead you out of the city to fight. Just because Cao Gong values you and others, he doesn't dare to do this easily! ”

The corners of the Haw Par Rider's mouth curled into a smile.

Cao Cao rebuilt the tiger and leopard cavalry, selected the elites of the army, and only selected more than 600 people!

On the combat power of individual soldiers. They are the strongest of Cao Jun.

The besieging Yuan army totaled 3,000, but they were not seen by the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Chun said "Cao Gong values it", and the pride of the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers arose.

"There are three thousand enemy troops." Cao Chun shouted: "There are only more than 2,000 people left in the siege of the city for a few days. Can you break it in one fell swoop? ”

"Even if it is 20,000, how can you bear me?" A tiger and leopard cavalry officer shouted.

"If you can fight, then get out of the city!" Without much to say, Cao Chun ordered the battle.

The gates of the city were opened, and six hundred horses went out of the city.

The tiger and leopard rode out of the city with great swagger.

Yuan Jun, who was on duty, saw a detachment of men and horses in the city from a distance, and hurriedly reported to Zhang He.

Already lying down, Zhang He did not fall asleep.

He was thinking about the time when the tide was coming. How to evacuate from Xudu.

Outside the tent, the guard's somewhat flustered voice came: "General Qiqi, a team of Cao troops has been sent out in Xuchang City!" ”

Zhang He sat up suddenly: "How many people?" ”

"The black pressure is overwhelming, and it can't be seen really." The guard replied, "No more than a thousand!" ”

"All cavalry?"

"It's all cavalry!"

Although Cao Jun is not much, Zhang He does not dare to despise it.

He got up and put on his armor. He lifted the curtain and walked out.

Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard out of the city and then slowly advanced.

The war horse approached Yuan's army with neat steps.

The tiger and leopard cavalry took out their longbows, put their arrows on the bowstrings, and aimed at the Yuan army camp.

Out of the tent. Zhang He saw that the cavalry of Cao's army was approaching, and immediately ordered the army to line up.

Cao Chun had no plans to raid. The Yuan army is still on defense, and the tiger and leopard have reached the place of shooting.

Stop the soldiers. Cao Chun stood in front of the tiger and leopard riding formation.

When Yuan Jun learned of the enemy's attack, he panicked and ran out of the camp.

Cao's army did not take advantage of the situation to rush into the barracks, and Yuan's army quickly lined up in formation.

Looking at Cao Jun, who was less than a shot, Zhang He was full of doubts.

According to common sense, Cao Jun should quickly kill the barracks, but they didn't, but seemed to be teasing Yuan Jun, just waiting not far away.

Contrary to the way of using troops, Zhang He didn't understand what Cao Chun wanted to do at all?

There are not many soldiers and horses, but they are unwilling to win by surprise, they are either crazy or too confident!

Zhang He, of course, thinks that Cao Chun is the latter.

He just didn't understand where Cao Chun's confidence came from!

The array of the Yuan army has been completed, and Cao Chun's spear pointed and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

Six hundred tigers and leopards rode out on horseback, and as they rushed out, they shot arrows at Yuan's army.

Cao Jun launched an attack, and Zhang He immediately ordered: "Archer, release the arrow!" ”

Yuan's archers loosened their bowstrings one after another and fired arrows back at Cao's army.

The two sides rained down with arrows, and the charging tiger and leopard rode down with their bows to dodge the flying arrows.

As they charged, they spread their longbows and shot arrows from the bottom up from a very tricky angle.

The heavy infantry of the Yuan army held large shields to block the rain of arrows.

The horses' hooves were rushing, and the tigers and leopards were getting closer and closer to Yuan's army.

With every step forward, tigers and leopards were shot by arrows and tumbled out.

Fending off the oncoming arrows, Yuan's heavy infantry poked their lances through the gaps between shields.

The sharp lance pointed at Cao Jun, and the soldiers held their breath, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

The war horse slammed into the shield with a thunderous roar, and the tiger and leopard rode into the array of Yuan troops.

The Yuan army at the front was knocked away by the war horse and fell into the rear column screaming.

There are also some tigers and leopards riding, due to the impact is too fierce, even people and horses turn into the tide of Yuan army.

The war horse stopped rushing forward, and the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers brandished their halberds and stabbed the Yuan army who was rushing beside them.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Jun raised his lance and poked at the enemy.

The two sides exchanged swords and shields.

With the neighing of the horses, one by one the cavalry fell.

The cavalry of the Yuan army made a detour from behind, intending to cut off the retreat of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The number of people was far less than that of Yuan Jun, and the tiger and leopard cavalry did not mean to retreat.

They were like a sharp knife cutting into tofu, quickly scattering Yuan Jun.

The Yuan Jun who rushed in front fell one by one, and those behind were afraid and hesitated to step forward.

Seeing that Yuan's army was invincible, Zhang He shouted: "Defend the enemy in the rear and evacuate in an orderly manner!" ”

Yuan's army retreated, and the tigers and leopards were willing to let them leave easily.

Taking advantage of the slight movement of the Yuan army's battle formation, the tiger and leopard cavalry exerted its strength again, knocking more Yuan troops to the ground.

The horses' hooves were flying, the long lance was piercing, and the Yuan army, who had not had time to withdraw, fell under the lance of the tiger and leopard rider.

Yuan's front collapsed, and many soldiers thought of fleeing the battlefield.

The retreat was like a rapidly spreading plague, and more and more Yuan troops fled the battlefield regardless of military orders! (To be continued.) )
