Chapter 958: A Fatal Blow

"Lord Qiqi, the front army of the mountain formation has been completely broken through, and General Le is seriously injured!"

“…… General Shi led his troops to reinforce and encountered the iron cavalry of the headquarters led by Wang Yu, but unfortunately he was not in the army! ”

“…… Lord Qi, General Qi died in battle, and General Qin asked for reinforcements! ”

"Report ......"

After breaking through the array of Cao's army, the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry divided into three routes, Tai Shici to the left, Lu Qiling and Ma Yunluo on the right, and Wang Yu led an army directly to the middle. The three-way army marched hand in hand, and the offensive was in full swing.

Wang Yu's bravery is Cao Cao's pain.

The heralds carrying various flags wore flowers and butterflies to run with the Chinese army and war groups, bringing bad news one after another. Cao Ying's staff had no life on their faces, whether it was a plan in ten steps, or a lot of opportunities, at this moment, there was no room to exert themselves, and they could only let the bad news that came frequently came to their hearts like whips.

Le Jin was injured and could not get out of the line of fire, but the heavy injury greatly limited his command level, in the war of the cold weapon era, the role of the front-line commander is very huge, without their command and hard work, the main general wants to strategize is just a joke.

Qi Ji and Qin Yi are Huainan generals, with superb martial arts and a good reputation in Huainan. On the same day, Liu Ye and Liu Xun led the army to the north, and were defeated by Lu Bu and Wei Yan under the city of Xiangyi, Huainan generals were either killed or captured, and almost the whole army was wiped out.

Liu Ye was able to escape, not because he suddenly exploded against the sky, but completely relied on the escort of these two people. can protect a cumbersome breakthrough and escape in such a dangerous situation, needless to say, the bravery of these two people.

Cao Cao has always known how to make good use of people, and did not dislike the courage and resourcefulness of the two generals, and directly appointed him as Lejin's deputy general. Now that Le Jin is seriously injured, Qi Ji is killed in battle, and there is only one Qin Yi left to support alone, and the mountain formation of the heavily armored foot soldiers is about to collapse when he sees it.

The news of Shi Lian's death was even worse.

Shi Lian's military position is a lieutenant of the Chinese military, a confidant of Cao Cao, and a military general with a considerable level. Originally, his position was in the fourth line of defense of the Chinese army, but Cao Cao heard that Le Jin was seriously injured, and he had the intention to order him to reinforce at the same time, and at the same time, he took command in place of Le Cheng, but this person's luck was too bad, and he actually ran into Qingzhou's own team and died under Wang Yu's lance.

The resistance in the front has not been completely eliminated, but the decline of Cao Jun has been clear, and the staff can neither come up with a clever plan to turn the tide, nor have they the ability to fight, except for trembling, they can't do anything, they can only look at their own lord, hoping that he can come up with an idea.

But Cao Cao didn't seem to be able to come up with a good solution, he just looked at the battlefield with a blue face, and waved the battle flag vigorously like a madman: "Paste it, the pikeman stick it!" ”

The experience gained from years of leading the army told him that this battle had reached a critical moment. The opponent's long-accumulated speed is being lost, and the combat effectiveness of cavalry without speed is not much higher than that of infantry. He's not defeated yet, he still has a chance to pull off miracles.

With this belief, he used the command banner to drive one group after another of men and horses forward, trying to block the advance of the iron cavalry with crowd tactics.

The rolling crowd rushed up and collided head-on with the red tide, but it could not stop the strong momentum of the red tide, and suddenly contracted backwards, but soon opened outward violently, like an epiphany that had been silent for hundreds of years, blooming in an instant.

After all, it is a strong army that has experienced a hundred battles, and even if it can't stop the fierce enemy for a while, it will not be intimidated by this fierceness.

The spear with white ash as a rod and black iron as a blade spread out in all directions, stabbing hard at the person who would stand in front of him, whether he could pierce the blood-red armor or not, and he also turned a blind eye to the five-foot green blade that flashed in front of him.

The sword and shield man, with only one leather armor on his body, rushed forward along the bloody path of the spearman, knocked down the robe in front of him, and swooped down on the enemy. It's not that they don't know that they are not the opponents of the iron cavalry who are far above them in attack and defense, but they still move forward bravely.

Because they are also strong soldiers in the world and have their own pride!

Their combat power is very different from that of the other party, and they can be separated from life and death almost in one move.

But the first fell, the second rushed up, the second fell, the third and fourth pounced without hesitation, and when the weapon was broken, he hugged it with his hands, bit it with his teeth, and hugged the horse's leg if he couldn't touch the rider! Fight everything until you exhaust the riders on horseback, tear the enemy off your horses, and turn them into corpses and dust.

The red blood soaked the yellow earth, and even the blue sky was dyed with a layer of blood, and the brilliance on the iron cavalry became more and more vivid, but in the successive attacks of the Cao army, the speed of the iron cavalry assault finally slowed down.

After the defeat of Koji Yi, this was the first time Wang Yu had encountered such a tough opponent, and he was actually entangled.

"Beat the drums, beat the drums to urge the war!" Cao Cao let out a sigh of relief, and repeated his previous order again.

"Knock knock knock ......" The crazy war drums sounded from Cao Cao's Chinese army. With the beat of the drum, the step array expanded faster and more urgently, like the waves of water struck by stones, continuous, soft, but difficult to stop, slowly seeping into the red tide.

To be honest, Cao Cao's command was not very clever, but the staff looked at him with reverence in their eyes. The tactics of the sea of people are not something that anyone can use, and if they are replaced by a rabble, it will not be possible for the reinforcements and the front army to mix together, but it will mess up their own positions.

"The scene looks better, but the casualties are too great, fight for an iron horseman, at least ten lives must be filled!"

"Zhongde is worried, now the remnants of the mountain formation are still fighting, if they are completely defeated, I am afraid that the light armored soldiers behind will ......"

couldn't help, and there was no way to retreat, and the staff members who breathed a sigh of relief finally had some energy and talked about the battle situation one after another. Although they see hope for a reversal, most people still can't get rid of pessimism, even celebrities like Liu Ye and Cheng Yu are no exception.

Although the momentum of the iron cavalry has slowed down, it is still advancing as a whole, and Cao Jun's foot soldiers are completely filling it with their lives. Although Cao Cao trained well, and the troops suffered such heavy casualties and could still maintain their fighting spirit, who dared to guarantee that the soldiers would be able to persevere to the end?

"Ladies and gentlemen, look carefully, the enemy is not only slowing down, but their room for maneuver is also decreasing!" Guo Jia, who had been silent, suddenly said: "The strength of the iron cavalry is still based on the battle in the array, and now, their speed is slowing down, and our army's foot soldiers are surrounding them one by one!" ”

Guo Jia's words hit the nail on the head, and the staff members thought about it carefully, nodded their heads one after another, and felt that it made sense. Only Cheng Yu, who had always been unconvinced by Guo Jia, questioned: "It's strange to say, that Wang Yu is not a person who doesn't know how to use soldiers, at this time, it's okay to retreat a little bit and accelerate again." ”

"Not strange." Guo Jia shook his head and pointed to the two wings of the wild goose marching array: "When the cavalry gallops, the damage caused to them by bows and arrows is limited, with speed, they can avoid more than eighty percent of the attacks, and the rest is enough to rely on the hard resistance of the armor, now, their speed has slowed down, and the lethality of the arrows is increasing!" Because of this, Wang Yu suddenly divided his troops. ”

"I see." Everyone was stunned, and their faces were re-excited, and they looked at the wings. No wonder the lord hasn't changed the order, it turns out that there is still this layer of calculation.

At this moment, the city wall behind him suddenly resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and the staff looked back in surprise and joy, and saw that the big flag erected on the north city tower was slowly falling!

"Finally took Lu Bu?" Dong Zhao's voice trembled violently, this time not because of fear, but out of surprise.

"Lu Bu gave the head, the momentum of Qingzhou's elite cavalry has run out, this battle is ......" Liu Ye suddenly became excited, his eyes flashed brightly, and he couldn't control his emotions when he saw it.

"If you can win this battle, it will be a reversal! It's even better than Gao Zu's broken entry in the lower realm! Cheng Yu couldn't stop laughing: "Ha, haha, the destiny of heaven returns, this is the destiny of heaven!" ”

The remnants of Lu Bu's army contained tens of thousands of troops in Cao's army, and they were all elite troops. Xiahoudun is the head of the generals of the Cao army, and the commanders of Dian Wei and Xu Chu are Cao Cao's guards, plus the martial arts of these three people are also second to none among the generals of the Cao army, and Lu Bu's remnants of the army play a role in restraining the army.

Now that the momentum of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry has been gradually contained, and some of the troops in the city are withdrawn, there is still a great hope of turning defeat into victory.

The staff cheered a few times, and they were about to rush to Cao Cao's side, ready to share this joy with the lord. But when he got closer, he found that Cao Cao's brows were still tightly frowned, and he looked more nervous than when he heard the bad news on the front line.

"Lord......" They wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and hesitated to stop.

"Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumbling ...... "At this moment, the war drums were beating in the Qingzhou army formation, the drums were short and agitated, majestic and high-spirited, first like the roar of a fierce beast before the attack, and then like a mountain torrent suddenly bursting the embankment.

Hearing this drum, Cao Cao, who was directing the troops to expand the results of the battle, suddenly stumbled as if he had been stung by a bee, and then turned his back to the sky and shouted, "The cavalry is back, both wings, come back quickly......

"Come back, stop them, come back ......" Cao Cao shouted hoarsely, and the heralds did not have time to run around anymore, and shouted directly at the Chinese army with the greatest strength.

Woe has come, they have already smelled death!

Danger rises from both wings, and it is the light cavalry of the enemy army that is in charge!

Under the command of Zhao Yun, this cavalry brought the characteristics of gathering and dispersing to the extreme, and it turned around and reversed before, looking like it was about to attack the leopard cavalry behind it, but at this moment, it was like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss. Swift, nimble, and unbelievably fast again, he rounded the flanks and attacked from the side, looking at the momentum, it was like a sword to seal his throat!

This is the real killer move of the enemy, the previous central breakthrough, the iron cavalry stepping into the formation, turned out to be just a blind way to attack the east and west. The enemy general is too cunning, even more treacherous than a fox, more ruthless than a poisonous snake.

Without Cao Cao's order, the crossbowmen on both wings turned around together, shooting as many and dense feathered arrows as they could to their sides. He had already seen through the enemy's plan, but unfortunately he was still a little slower by half a beat......

Most of the feather arrows missed their immediate targets, and a few hit, but their strength was obviously insufficient, and they were not at all enough to inflict fatal damage.

The light cavalry that suddenly turned was like a gust of wind, and it slapped heavily on the already scattered two wings of the army, slapping it to pieces! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
