Chapter 288: See Fate Again
Danshui, in front of the two armies.
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Lord, when it is broken, it will be broken!" ”
"Herald!" The corners of Cao Ying's mouth suddenly twitched, and his narrow eyes revealed murderous intent in his long eyes, and he said in a condensed voice, "Warning the Nanyang soldiers, pass quickly from the front of our army, you must not stay, let alone move closer to our army, and then let the archers be ready, once the Nanyang rout enters the firing range, immediately release arrows to kill!" ”
"My lord." The commander on duty, Yu Ban, hesitated, "The Nanyang Army is a friendly army?" ”
Cao Ying said coldly: "This is the military order of the true phase, General Yu Ban can follow the order, there must be no mistakes!" ”
Yu Ban's expression was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
……
Although the Cao army issued a warning flag, the Nanyang army, which fled in panic, ignored the warning of the Cao army at all, and still swarmed towards the front of the Cao army's formation.
The Nanyang rout was suddenly awakened by this head-on blow, rushing from the front of the Cao army, fleeing towards the south, and Chen Zhi, who was riding a horse and running at the front of the chaotic army, was hit by two arrows from the Cao army, and when he turned back from the horse, his eyes had become red, and the situation was like a wounded beast.
……
The rear of the Liangzhou army.
"Ruthless enough, he actually fired arrows at the Nanyang army in Nanyang, and he was not afraid that the Nanyang army would defect? It's worthy of Cao Agui, his heart is ruthless enough, and his hands are black enough! Ma Yue smiled, turned back to the herald and shouted, "The herald, after the cavalry swept the formation, outflanked the rear road of the Cao army, cut off the connection between the Cao army and the camp, the archers shot the position, and the whole army regrouped on the east bank of Danshui." ”
"Yes."
More than a dozen horsemen roared and rode their horses away.
……
"Boom!"
"Woo woo~~"
The fierce and blood-boiling drum sounded heavily at the end, and then stopped abruptly, but the desolate and distant horn sounded again, and the Liangzhou infantry, which was still advancing forward, quickly stopped, and the archers raised their firing angles one after another, scattering aimlessly forward.
The hoplites, pikemen, and light infantry regrouped under the rebuke of the officers, and in less than a moment's time, the formation, which had appeared scattered by the rapid advance, had regained its rigor and rigor again, and the hoplites in the first three rows slammed their shoulders to the ground and relined themselves into three rows of impregnable shields.
Horses with their heads rushing and iron hooves galloping.
Xu Chu's 3,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry howled and cut across the front of the Cao army's formation, and the archers of the Cao army shot over more than 100 cavalry of the Western Liang cavalry, but the sharp spears of the Western Liang cavalry shot through hundreds of Cao army infantry, and the guns pierced through the hoplites of the Cao army, the backbone of the defense force!
The Liangzhou cavalry came and went quickly.
In the galloping of thousands of horses, the Liangzhou cavalry had already roared past, and the Liangzhou cavalry that swept the front of the Cao army suddenly gave up the pursuit of the Nanyang rout, and turned a big bend behind the Cao army, and immediately cut off the Cao army and Dazhai who were arrayed outside, making it difficult to care about each other.
……
Cao Jun's main formation.
"Invulnerable!" Guo Jia sighed again, "The former Han Dynasty strong soldiers are nothing more than that." ”
"yes." Xun You nodded awe-inspiringly and said, "When you hear the drum, you advance, and when you start the trumpet, you stop, and the army of 20,000 people advances and retreats to a certain extent, just like a whole in order, especially the Liangzhou chief archers who are in array, and their shooting angles are almost pressed to the feet of the Liangzhou cavalry (at that time, the Liangzhou cavalry just rushed through the front of the Cao army, and the Liangzhou archers were shooting at the Liangzhou cavalry at that time, and the archers were not experienced enough and the shooting angle was not well controlled, they were likely to injure their own people by mistake), and if they extended even ten steps further, they would shoot to their own people! ”
"This kind of training, such archery, such quality, can indeed be called an elite soldier!"
"Lord, the connection between our army and Dazhai has been cut off by the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and the back road is extinct!" Li Dian took a deep breath, rode his horse to Cao Ying, and said with a solemn expression, "Now our army only has the last chance, if we can't defeat the Liangzhou infantry in front, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Cao Ying kept rubbing his forehead with his fingers, frowned and whispered: "The Liangzhou cavalry will cut off the connection between our army and Dazhai after guerrilla attacks on our army's flank during the war, which is also expected!" Fortunately, Ben was prepared for this, as long as he could defeat the Liangzhou infantry in front, our army would be able to counterattack and attack Zhongde (Cheng Yu's character) and Zixiu (Cao Ang's eldest son) on both sides to encircle and annihilate this Liangzhou cavalry. ”
Cao Ying's words were actually boosting morale, in fact, there was nothing he could do with the Liangzhou cavalry behind him!
Cao Ying already had a bad premonition in his heart, today's battle is going to lose, although Cao Ying will never give up lightly until the last moment, but the gap in strength is obvious, especially this Liangzhou cavalry, it is a thorn in Cao Jun's throat!
This is the result of the lack of strong cavalry!
Due to the strong performance of the Liangzhou Tanma, the scouts of the Cao army were cleared, so that the reconnaissance initiative of the entire battlefield fell under the control of the Liangzhou army, and the direct evil result was that every move of the Cao army could not escape the eyes and ears of the Liangzhou army, and the Cao army even wanted to dig a few trap pits in front of Dazhai would be disturbed by the Liangzhou cavalry and could not proceed smoothly.
If not, it is not impossible to deal with the Liangzhou cavalry!
The simplest and most practical thing is to dig trenches, trap horse pits, arrange antlers and fences, and create obstacles for the cavalry's sprint, but now, due to the absolute control of the Liangzhou cavalry on the battlefield, the Cao army must face the endless attacks of the Liangzhou cavalry at any time, and they can't complete any arrangement! They could only rely on the baggage vehicles carried by the army to defend themselves.
……
The Liangzhou army finally crossed the Danshui smoothly and rearranged the formation.
The Liangzhou army is in the main formation.
Ma Yue looked around at Jia Xu, Li Su and others, and laughed: "Wen He, Ziyan, if General Ben didn't guess wrong, Cao Apu must be very depressed at this moment, he is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, but he can't be dangerous and surprisingly victorious, this taste is not comfortable, hahaha~~"
Li Su also smiled and said: "Lord, Cao Apu should be regretting it now, he knew that it was such a situation today, and he shouldn't have taken the initiative to invite our army to fight in the first place!" If the Cao army has been cowering in the camp and does not fight, it may be able to survive for a while, and it is really not so easy for our army to break through the Cao army's camp. ”
"Nope." Ma Yue shook his head and said, "Ziyan, you are wrong, Cao Apo will not regret it, even if he knows that the odds of victory are not great, he will still choose to fight with our army!" ”
"Oh?" Li Su said confusedly, "Why is this?" ”
Ma Yue looked forward leisurely, looked at the Cao army's main formation in front of him, and said: "If the Cao army is blindly trapped, it will be defeated. ”
……
Cao Jun's main formation.
Although the situation on the battlefield was extremely grim and was becoming more and more unfavorable to Cao's army, Cao Ying did not regret it, as the horse butcher expected.
In fact, from the beginning, Cao Ying did not think that the Cao army could win this battle, but Cao Ying still decided to go to war.
In this world, there are many kinds and types of wars, not all wars can be won, and only wars that can be won are worth fighting. Even if it is the military god Sun Bin, he doesn't dare to say that the war will be won, not to mention Cao A's concealment?
How to get the best result in a must-lose battle, this is what Cao Ying is pursuing!
The contrast in strength between the two armies is clear.
The Liangzhou army has a wide range of generals, and has an absolutely strong cavalry team.
Cao Jun's blind trapping can only lead to self-destruction, Cao Ying has brought all the troops he can bring to the front line, and there is no longer a single reinforcement in the rear! Therefore, once it is surrounded by the Liangzhou army, don't expect reinforcements to come to help in the battle, but the Liangzhou army, it is likely that a large number of reinforcements will continue to arrive from Guanzhong to reinforce.
This possibility is very big!
Based on Cao Ying's understanding of the horse butcher, the horse butcher will definitely do anything to kill himself, just like Cao Ying will kill the horse butcher at any cost.
Therefore, because there is no way to live, only by working hard can there be a chance of winning!
……
"My lord, it's time."
Guo Jia suddenly stepped forward and smiled faintly at Cao Ying.
"Hmm!" An inexplicable chill flashed in Cao Ying's eyes, and he nodded heavily, "It's the right time to destroy the enemy!" ”
Huo Ran looked back, Cao Ying's gaze fell on Li Dian like a knife, and said awe-inspiringly: "General Li Dian, it's up to you!" ”
"Please rest assured!" Li Dian clenched his fists and replied sharply, "The last general will not be dishonored!" ”
Li Dian rode his horse to the front of the Cao army's formation, slowly raised the long knife in his hand and slammed it into the sky, and in an instant, the horns of the Cao army's rear formation sounded in unison, and the black and suppressed banner array cracked out like a wave split by a knife, and in an instant, a gray beast appeared in the array, which was actually a large group of huge buffaloes!
What is particularly surprising is that this group of buffaloes also has a large bundle of dry firewood tied to their backs, and the nearby Cao soldiers can even smell the pungent smell of fire oil, which is obviously poured on them in advance!
……
The Liangzhou army is in the main formation.
"Uh~~" Ma Yue's eyes suddenly widened and he gasped, "What~~ What?" Water~~ Buffalo!? ”
"It's a herd of big buffaloes, God." Jia Xu touched his forehead with his hand and exchanged in a cold sweat, "Cao Agui's secrecy kung fu is really good, and he unknowingly put such a large group of buffaloes in the array, and General Jutu's scouts and scouts didn't even notice it~~"
Ju Tu scratched his head a little uneasily, it was still dark when the Cao army came out of the camp and lined up, so the scouts did not find that the Cao army was actually mixed with this group of big buffaloes.
"How?" Li Su was confused by the reaction of the two, and whispered to himself, "Is the buffalo scary?" ”
The horse butcher and Jia Poison were both dead, but the Liangzhou soldiers in front of the battle didn't think so.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Cao army took great pains to bring out a large group of buffaloes, the Liangzhou soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, and even the Liangzhou general Li Meng laughed and said: "Lord, the Cao army is out of line, and he can't find a war horse and actually found a group of buffaloes to use as mounts, cow~~ Fucking cow cavalry, ahahaha~~ stomach ache, the last general has a stomachache~~"
"Shut up!" Ma Yue viciously whipped Li Meng on the back and scolded, "You kid knows a fart, what kind of bull cavalry, that's the Fire Bull Formation, the Fire Bull Formation!" ”
"Huh?"
Li Meng was stunned by a horsewhip.
"Li Meng!" Ma Yue's gaze fell on Liangzhou Xiaojun Li Meng like a wolf, and shouted, "Are you afraid of death?" ”
Li Menghuan glared, and said sharply: "I'm afraid of a bird's feather!" ”
"Okay, General Ben will give you five hundred heavily armored foot soldiers!" Ma Yue said this, his expression became unprecedentedly solemn, "You go to block this group of fire bulls, without General Ben's military order, you are only allowed to advance and not retreat!" Even if 500 soldiers die and only you are the only one, you are not allowed to retreat, do you understand? ”
"Got it!" Li Meng said sharply, "The last general will never be dishonored." ”
Ma Yue Huo Ran turned his head and bowed lightly to Gao Shun behind him, Gao Shun hurriedly rode forward, raised his one-arm and howled: "The first row of heavy armored infantry is out!" ”
……
Cao Jun in front of the formation.
Li Dian turned over and stepped on the back of the ox, led the long knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Brothers, attack!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Five hundred Cao army elite wearing heavy armor responded with three calls, turned over and climbed on the back of the ox, and then urged the oxen to rush forward, in an instant, five hundred buffaloes, two thousand oxen hooves knocked on the desolate wilderness one after another, the grass was splashed, the smoke and dust were flying, because of the huge size of this group of buffaloes, the horns were sharp, and its momentum was even better than the charge of the Xiliang Iron Horse.
……
In front of the Liang army.
Gao Shun rode his horse slowly through the front of the battle, and finally stopped in front of the five hundred soldiers, raised his arms high and shouted: "Liangzhou military regulations, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished!" Flee from the battle, kill and destroy the three clans! Forge ahead bravely, although you die in battle, bless your descendants! The officers and men of the three armies listened to the order, turned into a beautiful formation, and advanced~~"
"Forward!"
Li Meng let out a long howl, pulled the long knife in his hand forward, and rushed forward!
……
Cao Jun in front of the formation.
Hundreds of cattle galloped, and thousands of hooves rolled.
Li Dian's bright black eyes suddenly became extremely hideous, and finally glanced back at Cao Ying, and nodded heavily! Cao Ying's eyes suddenly became cold, and he waved his hand lightly to Yu Ban beside him, Yu Ban's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't bear to look at it, but his mouth was coldly issued a military order: "Rocket~~ release!" ”
"Xiuxiu~~"
Hundreds of archers, who had been waiting for a long time, shot rockets stored on the bowstring in an instant, hundreds of rockets intertwined into a fire net in the air, quickly caught up with Li Dian's ox cavalry, and then roared down, flames, in the five hundred herds of flames, in an instant, the moo howl resounded in the sky, and the galloping herd suddenly began to accelerate wildly.
……
The two armies are in front.
The horse butcher and Cao Apu held their breath at the same time!
Can the Fire Bull Formation disrupt the formation of the Liangzhou Army?
Will Li Meng's five hundred dead soldiers be able to stop the frenzied collision of the Fire Bull Array?
If the Fire Bull Formation can't disrupt the formation of the Liangzhou Army, the Cao Army will never have any chance in this battle, and the only thing Cao Ying can do is to withdraw his troops immediately!
If Li Meng's 500 dead soldiers can't stop the fire bull formation, and these 500 fire bulls rush into the formation, the Liangzhou army will inevitably be in chaos, and if the Cao army takes advantage of the situation to cover up at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
General Li Dian, please!
Li Meng, don't let General Ben down!
……
The two armies marched against each other.
The five hundred Liangzhou dead soldiers formed a Yuli array and Cao Jun's fire bull team collided viciously together, and the fire ox, which was roasted crazy by the fire moxibustion, instantly crushed the five small phalanxes in the front row of the Liangzhou army into meat puree, and the fifty Liangzhou dead soldiers had already become victims under the cow's hooves before they even had time to swing their knives.
The sturdy iron armor didn't bring them good luck either, and the hard hooves easily crushed the fragile protective shell.
Followed by the five small phalanxes in the second row, and fifty Liangzhou dead soldiers fell under the hooves of the ox, and then the third row and the fourth row, almost in the blink of an eye, the whole two hundred Liangzhou dead soldiers have fallen under the strong hooves of Cao Jun's fire ox, however, the death of these two hundred Liangzhou dead soldiers is not without cost, the crazy rushing fire bull finally slowed down, and then the fire bull in the back row collided viciously, and collided with the fire bull in the front row, and it became a mess in an instant.
This is the power of the Fish Array.
Resist layer by layer, resist step by step! Although the number is small, it can form an endless resistance momentum, causing the attacker to never be able to break through the enemy's formation fatigue and helplessness.
"Ahh
In the fifth row, another fifty Liangzhou dead soldiers howled and rushed up.
The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth rows of Liangzhou dead soldiers still marched forward unhurriedly under the command of Li Meng, and although their hearts were full of fear, none of them flinched!
The strict Liangzhou military regulations are like a sharp sword, hanging above the heads of all Liangzhou soldiers. They have no choice but to move forward bravely, even if they know that they are dead, they will never retreat half a step! Because there may be a glimmer of life in the advance, even if you die in battle, at least you can bless your wife and children, but retreating is sure to die, and you will destroy the father and son!
……
"Whew~~"
Ma Yue let out a long sigh of relief.
The barrier of human flesh has finally withstood the strong hooves of the fire ox!
The will of man finally prevailed over the madness of the beast!
"Whew~~"
Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then it was the turn of the Liangzhou Army to counterattack!
……
"Ah~~"
Cao Ying let out a long sigh.
The strength of the Liangzhou soldiers exceeded his imagination.
What exactly is the secret of the army of horse butchers?
Guo Jia's expression was solemn, and he sighed abruptly: "The Liangzhou soldiers are so brave that they can shake the hooves of the fire ox with their flesh and blood, breathtaking, breathtaking!" ”
……
The two armies are in front.
The last row of Liangzhou dead soldiers howled and rushed forward, and finally fell tragically under the sharp horns.
Now, there is no longer a living soldier around Liangzhou General Li Meng.
The horse butcher's terrible roar echoed in Li Meng's ears like thunder: Even if you are the only one of the five hundred soldiers who die, you are not allowed to retreat, do you understand?
Raised his head in shock, the Cao Jun fire ox in front of him was also in a mess, more and more fire oxen collided with each other, squeezed, screamed and fell under the sharp horns of their companions, and the Cao Jun armor tied to the back of the cow had no time to escape, either trampled to death by the cow's hooves, or crushed by the huge body of the buffalo.
The cattle are slamming and the fire is shining.
Li Meng looked up to the sky and let out a long snort, the long knife in his hand slashed down, cutting off the head of a fire cow raw, and the hot ox blood splashed on Li Meng's face like a fountain, and then dripping down his face, Li Meng grinned, Sen was as cold as a ghost, and his crimson tongue poked out of his lips, sucking a wisp of cow blood into his mouth.
"Knock knock!"
In the sound of heavy footsteps, a majestic figure slowly came out of the firelight, standing in front of Li Meng like a mountain, Li Dian, it is Li Dian! These are the last two alive, and this is the last competition! Not for anything else, just for the dignity of a man, just for the fate of a soldier.
"Die!"
Li Dian roared and jumped into the air. People in the air, the long knife in Li Dian's hand has already slashed down with the momentum of Mount Tai's top, Li Meng's blood-red eyes suddenly flashed a crazy and weird smile, just looking at the speed and strength of Li Dian's knife, Li Meng knew that he was not an opponent.
However, Li Meng has the confidence to kill Li Dian, the self-confidence of a veteran!
Li Meng didn't dodge or dodge, suddenly abandoned the knife and then raised his right arm to block Li Dian's powerful oblique slash with his hand, and the corners of Li Dian's mouth suddenly bloomed with a hideous sneer, just with the palm of flesh and blood, he also wanted to block the sharp blade?
It's just looking for death!
"Poof!"
Li Dian's long knife cut into the tiger's mouth, and actually cut Li Meng's entire right arm alive, and cut into Li Meng's right chest before it was exhausted, almost cutting Li Meng's waist into two! Being so seriously injured, even Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save Li Meng, Li Dian sneered and forced him to take a step forward, and when he was about to kick Li Meng's body down, the change was abrupt.
At the cost of his own life, Li Meng was waiting for this moment, this moment when Li Dian was careless! This is Li Meng's only chance, and it is also his last chance! A sharp dagger ghostly came to Li Meng's left hand, Li Dian didn't expect that Li Meng was so seriously injured that he could still hurt people violently, and he was caught off guard and was blocked by Li Meng's sword.
It wasn't until the sharp dagger pierced his throat that Li Dian suddenly remembered that this guy in front of him was a soldier of the horse butcher, but it was too late, and the power passed away from his body like a streamer, and it would never come back, Li Dian's head hung down weakly, turned around with difficulty, and threw a look of infinite regret at the rear of Cao Jun.
Prime Minister, Li Dian can no longer follow you on the battlefield, alas~~
Fight for your life, see your life for your life!
Although the military regulations of the Liang Army have changed, the military spirit cast by the horse butcher is still there!
At this point, the 500 dead soldiers were all wiped out, and the 500 fire bull array was also wiped out.
This is a lose-lose result, but in fact, it was the Liangzhou army that won!
The horse butcher resolved Cao Apu's last killer weapon at a small price! From this moment on, the Cao army completely lost the initiative on the battlefield and completely fell into the predicament of being beaten passively, from this moment on, what Cao Ying needed to consider was no longer to defeat the Liangzhou army, but how to safely withdraw to the camp and withdraw to Wancheng safely?
……
In front of the Liang army.
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
Inspired by the five hundred dead soldiers, the morale of the Liang army was high and murderous! And the soldiers of the Cao army hundreds of steps away were demoralized, just now the scene of the Liangzhou soldiers shaking the bull with flesh and blood made them frightened, the enemy on the opposite side was not a human at all, but a group of beasts!
Morale is declining, and when will it be if you don't attack at this time?
"锵~~"
In the piercing sound of gold and iron grinding, the horse butcher slowly drew out the seven-star sword and held it high above the top, and then swung it fiercely towards the front~~
(To be continued)
