Cao Ren grabbed the reins of the horse, looked at the battle flag in the distance, reached out to take off his helmet, wiped a handful of sweat, and cursed secretly. He cursed www.biquge.info hot weather and the judgment in the distance. The trial was too vicious, and he sent people to set fire to it everywhere, even his hometown Qian Pei did not let go, and a large area of rice fields was burned to the ground. Half of his men were Chenpei, eager to catch the judge and eat his flesh and eat his skin.

However, Cao Ren also knew that further east of Heze was the place where the waterways were crisscrossed, and there were many swamps, which were not suitable for cavalry galloping, and more importantly, Yuan Shao was not far to the south, and he didn't know if he could break the trial before Yuan Shao arrived. If you get entangled, you're in trouble. This 10,000 riding horses is Cao Cāo's most important housekeeping power, and it can't be destroyed in his hands.

Cao Ren hesitated.

"Captain, if you don't chase it, you'll run away."

"That's it, Captain, the thief is too vicious, he burned so many fields, if the villagers know that we let him go, how will they meet people in the future?"

"Captain, catch up, we will definitely be able to cut off the head of the judge."

The soldiers were screaming and angry. The crops have worked hard for a year, isn't it just a harvest, and now it's good, so the hope has been burned out by the trial, how will it happen next.

Cao Ren closed his eyes, raised his face, was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and roared: "Kill!" ”

"Whoa." The soldiers responded violently, and the horses that had been restrained began to run, and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves gradually converged into a muffled thunder, the earth began to tremble, and the three thousand forwards gradually turned into a torrent and galloped away.

In the distance, the judge raised his head in surprise, he felt the tremor coming from afar, and also felt the majesty and murderous aura exuded by tens of thousands of gallops. He looked at Heze beside him, and ominous ripples rippled on the water.

"It's a hairy kid after all." The judge sneered and walked down the mound. Jumped on his horse and shouted, "Go!" Walk! ”

The guards rushed away with him, and the foot soldiers who were on standby in the distance saw them start running, and quickly turned around and began to run. They also felt the shaking of the ground. Experienced veterans knew that this was a sign of a cavalry charge, and that the three-to-five-mile road was only a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and if they could not enter the prepared ambush circle before the cavalry arrived, they would suffer a catastrophe.

Cao Ren's sudden launch was somewhat unexpected by the trial, and there was not much time left for them. The judge knew that there could be no hesitation at this time, otherwise the result would make him regret it for the rest of his life. There is not even a chance to regret it.

The five thousand foot soldiers began to gallop, and the interrogator was equipped with a war horse, and he gradually rushed to the front, and when the soldiers behind saw this, they began to panic one by one, and no matter how fast the two legs were, they could not be faster than four legs. They gasped for air, their eyes full of envy and jealousy as they looked at the judges' backs.

The trial ran forward two hundred steps. Suddenly reined in the war horse, the war horse neighed, and the front hooves took a few steps into the air. Forcibly turned around, the war horse had not yet stood firm, and the judge turned over and jumped off the horse, pulled out the ring knife at his waist, drew a line on the ground, and shouted: "Arrange the formation on the spot, prepare for battle, and those who dare to retreat from this line will be killed!" ”

The guards who followed him immediately turned over and dismounted, drawing their ring knives. Ready to be beheaded, the herald beat the drums of war and gave the order to halt the advance and prepare for battle on the spot. Although the foot soldiers who were running wildly heard the sound of war drums, they could not react in time, and the few in front of them did not stop. Suddenly rushed through the line drawn by the trial, and was cut off by the guards with knives in their hands, and slashed in front of the battle.

The hot blood shocked everyone at once, although everyone didn't understand, but the usual training still played a role, they stopped and set up with their partners. In a hurry, they could not form a tight formation, but could only form small formations in groups of three or five, with spears, halberds, and bows and arrows.

Looking at the chaotic small array in front of him, the trial was also helpless, Cao Ren suddenly attacked, he didn't have time to run to the position prepared by Wen Chou, if he ran like this, he could only be slaughtered by Cao Ren, although the current formation had little effect, it was better than not being prepared at all.

It's just a pity that many people here can't return to Jizhou alive. The judge was sad in his heart, and raised his knife and roared: "Dense formation!" ”

The soldiers moved quickly to the sound of war drums, and those behind rushed up to fill the gaps in the front formation, and those who were too far away moved as a whole, striving to organize the formation more tightly.

Just as they were adjusting, Cao Ren's cavalry vanguard arrived, and dozens of knights rushed to the front, killing them like a sharp arrow.

“shè！” The crossbowman shouted angrily and let go of the bowstring in his hand. The feathered arrows whistled away. The cavalrymen crouched on the backs of their horses and raised their shields. They had rich combat experience, and at a glance, they knew that Yuan's formation was not strict enough, and the power of the bow and arrow Qi shè was very small, and they didn't want to waste time shè at all, so they rushed in as soon as they seized this opportunity.

The flying horse's hooves kicked up a puff of smoke and dust, and the war horse was like the wind, killing into the loose formation, the ring knife flashed, and the cuirass of a Yuan sergeant was cut deep in the arm, revealing the shoulder blade, and blood gushed out of the wound.

"Kill!" A spearman suddenly jumped up, clenched his spear in both hands, and stabbed the horse fiercely. The spear pierced into the chest of the war horse, and he was also hit by the momentum of the war horse and flew upside down, his hands were scraped by the hilt of the spear and bloodied, he screamed, staggered back a few steps, and the knight on the horse waved his arm and split his face with a knife, and then the war horse fell forward and fell to the ground. The knight fell off his horse, and before he could stand up, several Yuan soldiers rushed up, swords and spears, and killed him.

Those Yuan soldiers didn't have time to cheer, and two war horses galloped by, and the knives flew, splitting them into flesh and staggering.

The galloping knights poured into the scattered formation of Yuan's army like cháo water, killing wantonly.

He originally thought that Cao Ren would hesitate for a while and find out the situation before deciding whether to act, but he didn't expect that Cao Ren would be like a thunderbolt once he launched, and he would not give him a chance to think about it at all. After this charge, I don't know how many of these 5,000 soldiers will survive.

Ci is not in charge of the army, this is not wrong at all, not only to be ruthless to the enemy, but also to his own people. The judge gritted his teeth to support, ignoring the Cao army knights who were quickly approaching him in front of him, and commanded the foot soldiers behind him to force up, delaying the Cao army's charge speed with a dense formation. He couldn't count on these foot soldiers to stop Cao Ren, but he hoped to slow down Cao Ren's pace as much as possible, because Wen Chou still needed time to prepare.

"Move closer to me, dense formation!" The judge snatched the flag, shook it vigorously, and roared hoarsely. The heralds beat the drums of war like a torrential downturn. When countless Yuan troops were approaching the trial, more and more Cao army knights also discovered the culprit of the trial, and they attacked with horses, and arrows rained down.

The guards did not dare to slack off, they desperately stood in front of the trial, and used shields and spears to organize a line of defense to protect the life of the trial. They are all tribal or subordinate people, and if they die, all their interests will be wiped out. As guards, their mission is to protect the life of the judge, at all costs.

These guards are all private forces of the trial, the best equipment, the strongest fighting quality, and the most thorough execution of orders, from the moment they dismount, they know what predicament they will face. If the 5,000 foot soldiers wanted to resist the 10,000 cavalry head-on, there was no possibility of victory at all, but they did not hesitate, dismounted after the trial, and organized a defensive formation as quickly as possible.

"Whoosh!" Arrows rained down, shè on the shield like fried beans, many arrows shè into the gap between the shields, the soldiers in the arrow let out a muffled snort, from time to time someone was shè in the key to fall, but none of them refused to retreat, no one dared to retreat, the trial was behind them, they had to ensure that before they died, the trial was still alive.

"Move closer to me—" The judge shook the battle flag with all his might, his voice was hoarse, and his arms were sore, but he didn't dare to give up, he did his best to boost his morale and buy as much time as possible.

Encouraged by the trial, the officers and men of the Yuan army persevered to move closer to the trial when they were under the charge of the cavalry, and organized a thicker and thicker defense line in front and behind him. However, they also paid a heavy price for this, 5,000 soldiers were slaughtered by Cao Ren's cavalry in just half an hour, and only the remnants of less than 2,000 people were left around the trial, and most of them were wounded.

The cavalry roared away, leaving a trail of blood.

He panted like an ox, hanging his arms weakly, he gasped for breath, looking at the cavalry that was regrouping in the distance, his heart was like ashes. He knew that although the battle formation around him was tight, there was little hope of escaping this fate. Wen Chou's battle formation was still five miles away, and if there was no one to support him, it would be impossible to transfer there with only these two thousand remnants. Fighting in formation, you can still survive for a while, once the formation is loosened, Cao Ren will fight again and completely crush them.

He smiled bitterly, he didn't have to guess why these cavalrymen had such a strong killing intent, he burned their hopes, and of course they had to kill him to vent their hatred. It's a pity that the trap he arranged for a few days couldn't be used, but he was bitten tightly by Cao Ren.

He has been leading troops for many years, and he knows that the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant, and he has also used rapid action to disrupt the opponent's deployment many times to seek victory, but this time, he missed. The slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophe.

Those who are good at water are drowned in water, and those who are good at soldiers die by soldiers, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me. He was good at using strange soldiers, but this time he died in the hands of Cao Ren, who was even more strange. It's really good to have such an ability at a young age.

The foot soldiers really had no chance of winning against the cavalry. Looking at the cavalry queue slowly forming in the distance, he looked up to the sky and sighed. As soon as he sighed, his eyes suddenly straightened, looking at the blue sky that suddenly changed, he was stunned for a moment, and laughed in a dumb voice.

In the midst of laughter, a crystal raindrop fell from mid-air and smashed on his greasy face, making his face hurt. However, the trial did not feel a trace of pain, but was extremely happy. He raised his arms and spread his hands to meet the raindrops falling from the sky, laughing out loud. rq
