Chapter 801 - Leaving a Back Hand

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion stretched out their bows and arrows, and the archers of the Cao army were also ready to shoot.

Horns were heard from the Chinese armies on both sides.

In the Tianhai Battalion array, an officer shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrows!" ”

Countless arrows flew towards Cao's army like dense swarms of locusts.

At the same time as Tianhai Ying shot the feather arrows, the archers of the Cao army also let go of the hand holding the bowstring.

The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who shot the arrows, immediately crouched down, and dodged Cao Jun's feather arrows under the cover of the shield in front of them.

Cao's soldiers hid behind the shield arrays of the heavy infantry.

A dense rain of arrows fell on the shields of both sides, making a crisp sound of "crackling" incessantly.

From time to time, several soldiers from both sides would fail to avoid the rain of arrows and fall to the ground.

Yuan Xu's attention was not on the battlefield, but on the Cao army's array.

Guo Jia and Xiahoudun rode side by side, as if they didn't care about the battlefield situation at all.

The rain of arrows shot by the soldiers on both sides fell towards the opponent's large array.

Under the rain of arrows, there were some casualties on each side.

The bow and arrow attack lasted for more than half an hour, and the arrows in the quivers of the soldiers on both sides had been exhausted.

Touching the quiver in his hand, he didn't draw out the arrow, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion stuck their longbows behind their backs.

The archers of the Cao army have also run out of feather arrows.

The horn of the Chinese army sounded again.

A general walked out of the Tianhai battalion.

This person held a big knife in his hand, stood in front of the formation, pointed at Guo Jia and Xiahoudun, and shouted: "Guo Jia! Xiahoudun! Don't hurry up and die! ”

The one who pointed the knife at the two was none other than Wen Chou.

Yan Liang made meritorious contributions in the first battle, and Wen Chou asked Yuan Xu to fight, willing to take the lead in killing Guo Jia.

Knowing that it was not easy to kill Guo Jia, Yuan Xu still allowed him.

Wen Chou was fighting, and Xiahou was about to step forward, but Guo Jia stopped him.

Looking at Guo Jia, Xiahou asked blankly: "Why did Guo Gong stop him!" ”

"Just Wen Chou, General He Lao is going?" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and ordered the guards beside him: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack!" ”

The war drums were beating, and after receiving the military order, the soldiers of the Cao army marched forward with neat steps.

Seeing this, Wen Chou waved his big knife and shouted: "Soldiers, kill the enemy with a certain one!" ”

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion picked up the big shield one after another and took out the long lance.

The tips of the lances pointed at the oncoming Cao army.

"Kill!" In the Cao army array, a partial general rode his horse and shouted, and the Cao army soldiers who were advancing in line let out a heaven-shattering cry and rushed towards the Tianhai camp.

Cao Jun charged, and Wen Chou also shouted: "Kill!" ”

The blue robe fluttered and flew, like a rolling wave, surging towards Cao Jun who was rushing up.

The soldiers of both sides collided in one place, and the sound of shields colliding and the shouts of the soldiers were mixed with each other.

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides pushed hard, trying to force each other back.

The one in front fell, and the one behind followed in slewing.

Yuan Xu looked at the battlefield expressionlessly.

The Tianhai battalion had a rigorous battle formation, and the Cao army, which was relatively loose in the array, could not bargain at all in the fight.

Guo Jia and Yuan Xu both knew very well that in this battle, they used almost all their strength, but it was by no means the final decisive battle!

The cavalry of the Tianhai Battalion on both wings looked at the battlefield from afar, carrying long lances one by one, waiting for the Chinese army to convey the order to charge.

Yuan Xu never gave the order for the cavalry to attack.

On the two flanks of Cao's army, the cavalry was also ready to fight at any time, and Guo Jia also did not give an order.

"Guo Gong!" Xiahoudun was puzzled: "Why don't you let the cavalry go to battle?" ”

Pointing at the cavalry of the Tianhai Battalion, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xianxin's cavalry is already well prepared, if our cavalry goes out to fight and attack each other's whole army, this battle will become a decisive battle!" ”

"Gong Cao ordered me to come here, didn't it fight a decisive battle with Yuan Xianxin?" Xiahoudun asked.

"A decisive battle?" Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Definitely! Definitely! Cao Gong only wants us to intercept Yuan Xianxin, not to break it! What's more, even if it is a decisive battle, our army will not be able to please it! ”

Guo Jia did not order the cavalry to fight.

Looking at Cao's army, Tian Feng said to Yuan Xu: "Childe, the enemy and our two armies are just fighting on foot, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the victory from defeat in this battle." ”

"That's what Guo Jia wants!" Yuan Xu said: "If you want to fight a decisive battle, you will not want to!" ”

"Gongzi only needs to order the cavalry to attack, Guo Jia must respond with cavalry, and this battle can become a decisive battle!" Tian Feng arched his hand and said.

Yuan Xu shook his head: "Guo Jia is not only a cavalryman!" ”

Pointing forward, he said to Tian Feng, "Has Tian Gong seen Cao Jun's array?" ”

Looking in the direction of Yuan Xu's finger, Tian Feng found that behind Cao Jun's array, there seemed to be a black line.

He couldn't see exactly what the black line was.

"Guo Jia's back hand is here." Yuan Xu said: "If you order the cavalry to fight, the enemy will withdraw, and once our army pursues, it may really become a decisive battle." ”

Yuan Xu instructed Jiang Jun: "Command Fengying, send more people to find out what is behind the Cao army's formation." ”

Jiang Jun left in response.

After a while, several horses left the Chinese army.

Yuan Xu sent Fengying and did not avoid Guo Jia.

Seeing Yuan Xu's Chinese army rushing out of several fast horses, Xiahoudun said: "If Yuan Xianxin launches cavalry to charge and kill our army, our army will definitely fight a decisive battle with it, why didn't he do this, but only sent a few horses?" ”

"Yuan Xianxin's dispatcher is the Wind Shadow!" Guo Jia looked back and said to Xiahoudun: "He wants to know what is hidden behind the formation of our army. ”

"If Yuan Xianxin knows, I'm afraid that he will not fight a decisive battle with our army again." Xiahoudun said confidently: "Cao Gong ordered Guo Gong to come to intercept the enemy army, it is really a wise move!" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and did not speak.

If Yuan Xu was as easy to deal with as Xiahoudun said, Cao Cao would not let him come.

Just send a general and bring a second- or third-rate strategist, it is enough to resist the Tianhai camp!

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides are still fighting.

The Tianhai battalion is not as numerous as Cao's army, but it is better than the dense array, and the soldiers are more skilled in fighting than Cao's army.

In just over half an hour, the Tianhai camp gradually gained the upper hand.

The soldiers of Cao's army fought and retreated, although it was slow, but it had already shown defeat.

Looking at the battlefield, he rode a fast horse and rushed towards Yuan Xu.

On horseback was the Kazekage he had sent out.

When the wind shadow came out, his clothes were bright, but when he returned, his clothes were torn, and even his armor was torn in two.

When Yuan Xu approached, Fengying turned over and dismounted.

Flying to a distance of more than ten steps from Yuan Xu, Fengying clenched his fists and said, "Young Master Qi, Cao Jun has an ambush behind the array!" I waited to investigate and encountered an ambush, but I was the only one who turned back! ”

Cao's army really deployed ambushes in the rear.

As expected, Yuan Xu asked the wind shadow, "What is the number of Cao Jun's ambush soldiers?" ”

"There is a lot of black pressing, not to mention four or five thousand people." "They have dug trenches, and if our army comes forward, they will be killed by their arrows!" ”

Listening to Fengying's words, Tian Feng was stunned: "The child's material is subtle, Guo Jia really has a back hand!" (To be continued.) )
