Chapter 358: A Desperate Shot

Under the hill, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the horses neighed.

Under the temptation of heavy money, 20,000 Cao troops rowed fishing boats to the small mountain within a radius of less than a mile to launch a round attack, and the 3,000 wolf riders had driven all the horses down the mountain and fought with the Cao army that rushed up.

The three thousand wolf cavalry is the elite of the Xiliang cavalry, this cavalry was given a heavy responsibility at the beginning of its formation, that is, to guard the safety of Luo Zheng, the lord, and the soldiers selected for the wolf cavalry battalion enjoy the best treatment and military salary, but they must be prepared to die on the battlefield at any time, even if only the last person is left, they must not retreat.

The soldiers of the wolf cavalry battalion were fierce, and even if they dismounted and fought on foot, none of them flinched.

However, the terrain and environment of the hill pack were too unfavorable for the cavalry. If the cavalry does not have war horses, most of its combat effectiveness will be lost, and the Cao army is nearly seven times that of the wolf cavalry battalion, even if the wolf cavalry battalion is fierce and good at fighting, it will gradually be unable to stop.

If it is placed on the open plain, even if the enemy army is ten times larger than the wolf cavalry battalion, the three thousand most elite wolf cavalry have absolute strength to break out of the encirclement, but on this hill, they can only be killed by Cao Jun and retreat, constantly shrinking the defensive line.

On the hill, Cao Jun has already stepped through the mud and climbed the mountain bag, and is steadily advancing from the bottom to the top.

The three thousand wolf cavalry soldiers continued to shrink the defensive line, with Luo Zheng as the center, and gathered at the top.

On the big boat a hundred steps away, Xiahou Yuan stood solemnly on the bow of the boat, and there was inexplicable solemnity in his eyes.

Luo Zheng's three thousand wolf cavalry is really worthy of its name, without the combat effectiveness of the war horse, it can still be so strong, it is worthy of being the elite of the elite of the Xiliang cavalry, and it is not under the tiger and leopard cavalry of the main organization. Fortunately, it was blocked on this hill bag.

If it is placed on the plain, it is estimated that his 20,000 foot soldiers are no match for this cavalry.

But. Once the tiger has no claws, it can only be slaughtered.

Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists. As long as Luo Zheng can be killed, even if all the 20,000 troops are lost, it will be worth it.

I heard that Luo Zheng's youngest son is not yet ten years old, as long as Luo Zheng dies, what can a doll less than ten years old do, then the Xiliang Army will immediately collapse, and Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Xichuan, and even Xiqiang and Mobei will be in chaos.

As long as Luo Zheng can be killed, it is worth losing 100,000 troops.

"Kill it. Capture Luo Zheng alive! ”

Xiahou Yuan waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly.

The Cao soldiers had red eyes, and they all rushed up with their lives.

On the hill, Luo Zheng's face was grim, although the situation was already dangerous, he was still calm and calm.

Although Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and others were anxious, they were not afraid or afraid.

On a few mountain bags not far away, Yan Xing, Zhang Liao and other generals were all anxious to burn their eyebrows, watching Cao Jun attack the mountain where the three thousand wolf riders were. But he couldn't lead the troops to the guard, and he couldn't wait to put on a pair of wings and fly over.

The fighting lasted from early morning to noon, and the flood waters were receding.

Cao Jun left countless corpses behind, and the casualties had exceeded 5,000. The mud-like red water was also stained red with blood, and the three thousand wolf riders also suffered heavy casualties, leaving only about a thousand people. They all gathered at the top of the hill and fought hard.

Xiahou Yuan was a little anxious. The flood is receding, and Luo Zheng will be withdrawn if it is not resolved. will be trapped in this Ze country.

The Xiliang army on the nearby hill was also in a hurry, and Yan Xing and Zhang Liao tried several times, but they couldn't rush over.

The battle continued, and seeing that the three thousand wolf riders were decreasing, there were less than a thousand people left.

Xu Chu had already left Luo Zheng's side and personally led his troops into battle to kill.

And at this critical juncture, a large number of ships appeared near Bishui Pass again.

"General, look!"

A small colonel turned his head in shock, pointed sharply at Gao Shun in the distance and shouted.

Gao Shun turned his head to look, and his face was instantly happy, and his face, which had always been unfazed, couldn't help but be excited after seeing these suddenly appeared ships, and shouted: "Let the navy come over, quickly!" ”

The ship that suddenly appeared was the warship of the Western Liang Water Army.

The Xiliang soldiers who were crowded at the head of the city immediately opened their voices and roared in unison.

Soon, a walker broke away from the fleet and rushed towards it like an arrow from a string.

Kankan rushed a hundred paces away before reducing his speed.

Gan Ning was dressed in iron armor, standing on the deck with a large knife in his hand, and looked at the city with a pergola.

There was a naval colonel next to him and said: "General, it's not Cao's army at the head of the city, it's our army's men and horses!" ”

Gan Ning said 'um', ordered him to approach, and shouted loudly: "Gan Ning is also, who is in charge of the troops in the city?" ”

"General Gan Ning, rate the navy to rescue the lord!"

Gao Shun's heart was burning like fire, and he shouted: "The Cao army is digging water and flooding the pass, the lord should be trapped in a high place, Xiahou Yuan has led the army for half a day, there is a shout of killing five miles away in the west, the lord should be there, General Gan Ning should go to the rescue quickly!" ”

"General Gao Shun!"

Gan Ning was taken aback, and after hurriedly asking what was going on, he immediately shouted, "Go!" ”

The walker quickly turned around and rushed to the west.

The naval fleet that received the order also immediately turned around and rushed westward.

On the hill, the fierce battle continues.

There are only seven or eight hundred people left in the three thousand wolf riders, firmly guarding the top of the hill, under the leadership of Xu Chu, struggling to fight with the Cao army who rushed up, Xiahou Yuan also stepped on the hill and personally led the troops to kill.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Xiahou Yuan had already seen Luo Zheng and Jia Xu and others who were protected by wolf riders in the middle, and the blood in his bones had just boiled, when he heard a junior colonel shouting beside him, "General, look!" ”

Xiahou Yuan turned his head in shock, and saw another boat in the distance rushing over quickly.

"Not good!"

Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, and his face changed instantly.

"It's the West Cool Water Army!"

The Cao soldiers with good eyesight shouted, which immediately caused confusion.

"How could the Xiliang Water Army rush through Pingjin so quickly!"

Xiahou Yuan almost vomited blood out of breath, and the cooked duck flew, such a result was really embarrassing.

Although this small mountain bag made the Xiliang cavalry lose most of its combat effectiveness, it was also not conducive to attacking, don't look at the Xiliang army There are less than a thousand people left, but this is Luo Zheng's own soldiers, if you don't fight until the last person falls, it is simply wishful thinking to kill Luo Zheng, and the Xiliang water army will arrive at most a pillar of incense.

Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he really wanted to scold God, and he held his breath in his chest and almost wanted to faint out of anger.

"General, what should I do?"

A small colonel hurriedly asked, his face already with panic.

The Xiliang Water Army was killed at this time, this is really going to kill you!

"Let's go!"

Xiahou Yuan's face changed violently a few times, and he yelled unwillingly, turned around and left.

If he could kill Luo Zheng before the Xiliang Water Army arrived, he would definitely not hesitate to die.

But the problem is that the Xiliang Water Army can arrive in a column of incense at most, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to kill all those Xiliang wolves. I don't want those Luo Zheng's personal soldiers to be killed, how can I kill Luo Zheng.

Xiahou Yuan only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he had paid such a big price, and the life and death of the military advisor were uncertain, but in the end, he fell short.

Cao Jun came and went quickly, quickly rushing down the hill and rushing towards the stranded fishing boat.

However, due to the receding tide and the water level, more and more muddy fields were exposed, and many fishing boats were directly trapped in the mud and could not move, dragging them to the water for at least dozens of steps.

By the time the Cao army's soldiers were hazed, the horses and fishing boats dragged into the water, the Xiliang water army had already been killed.

"Kill!"

Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat and shouted with a knife.

The galloping boat rushed past a fishing boat, and the two boats tilted to both sides at the same time, Gan Ning, who was standing at the bow of the boat, seemed to be standing on the flat ground, and his body did not shake for a moment, and the brocade sail thief who operated the boat and rowed was also sitting steadily.

The Cao soldiers of the fishing boat all fell into the mud-like flood with an exclamation.

This place is not like a river, the water level is too shallow, large warships can't pass, and only the shallowest draft can come over.

The Xiliang Navy Army only had more than 100 ships, but it charged at the Cao Army without any scruples.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the battle situation was in a one-sided shape, and the Xiliang Water Army only came to more than 2,000 people, but the Cao Army, which was several times larger than its own, was defeated by the army, crying for his father and mother, and constantly having fishing boats being knocked over by the Xiliang Water Army.

The Cao soldiers who fell into the water howled miserably and struggled in the flood, helpless like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Some Cao soldiers wanted to escape by rowing fishing boats, but they couldn't outrun the Xiliang Water Army at all.

If Cao Jun's fishing boat is a tortoise, then the Xiliang Water Army is a leopard that pounces on its prey. No matter how fast the turtle climbs, it cannot be compared with the speed of the leopard, and the difference between the advantages and disadvantages of the regular naval army and the infantry is unreservedly reflected at this moment.

It wasn't until this moment that Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized that he had made a strict mistake.

Cao Jun is not a water army, and when he reaches the water, if he encounters a regular water army, he really has little power to resist.

The gap between this is even greater than the gap between cavalry and infantry.

It is possible for 20,000 infantry to besiege and kill thousands of cavalry, but if it reaches the water, 20,000 infantry will not be able to do anything even if it is 500 sailors who are skilled in water warfare, and this is the difference between different arms.

If you go to the wide river, maybe as long as 50 water thieves who are proficient in water nature, tens of thousands of landlubbers riding fishing boats can be buried at the bottom of the river, this is the difference between the naval army and the ground army, and it is also a huge gap in nature.

On the hill, Luo Zheng's expression relaxed, and Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining more than 800 wolf riders all sat on the ground, panting for breath.

From last night to now, not a grain of rice has been eaten, a sip of water has not been drunk, and even a sip of water has not been slept, and he has been fighting for most of the day.

On the nearby mountain, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and others saw it clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the navy arrived in time, otherwise it would have been a big trouble.

"General, the Xiliangshui Army has been killed!"

On the largest fishing boat, Colonel Cao Jun yelled at Xiahou Yuan urgently. (To be continued......) R1292
