In the thunderous hoof, a terrible howl rushed into the sky.

The three thousand Xiliang cavalry, who had already raised the speed of the horse to the limit, were like a sharp awl, and directly collided with the central army of the Cao army that was assembling, and cut the rear army of Cao Ren's army and the Chinese army into two pieces without any suspense.

The rear army, which was moving closer to the Chinese army, was in chaos in an instant, and it could no longer care about leaning on the Chinese army.

The shiny saber continued to pass by with a cold cold light, and the heads flew up one by one.

The blood was splashing, and the Cao soldiers had almost no power to resist.

The soldiers who were close to the rear army were robbed of their fighting spirit, and they ran away regardless of throwing away their weapons.

After the three thousand Xiliang cavalry surged and cut off the Cao army, they rushed straight out for several miles before making a big circle and rushing back, and began to accelerate one mile away, and the target was Cao Renzhong's army, which was waiting for him.

"The spearmen stepped forward, the columns rejected the horses, and the archers prepared!"

Cao Ren couldn't calm down anymore, waving his arms and shouting.

Less than a hundred spearmen immediately crossed the line, stuck their spears upside down at forty-five degrees, held the body of the spear with both hands, and pressed the weight of their bodies almost to the body of the spear, although there was fear on their faces, no one retreated.

Cao Ren almost vomited blood when he saw it, but there were less than a hundred spearmen.

When marching, the bow and arrow are generally placed in the middle army, and the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers are distributed in the front army and the rear army to protect the archers who have little protection ability, so the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses hastily assembled, ninety percent are archers.

Now if you want to form a rejection formation, there are less than a hundred spearmen.

What can such a few spearmen do, they can't cause much casualties to the Xiliang cavalry at all.

Cao Ren was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, and the green tendons on the back of his hand holding the knife jumped straight up.

"General, look!"

Suddenly, a small colonel opened his voice and shouted.

Cao Ren looked at it urgently, and saw that in front of the Xiliang cavalry formation, about 1,000 cavalry broke away from the formation, and in the process of running the war horses, they formed a cone-shaped assault formation and rushed over, and the target was the banner of Cao Ren's Chinese army.

"Not good, Heavy Iron Banner!"

Cao Ren changed color again, and his face was almost green.

To this day, the heavy cavalry is widely known to the princes.

Before, Luo Zheng was just a weak prince, and with a good job of secrecy, the name of the heavy armored cavalry was never known. But since Luo Zheng pacified Guanzhong, he has become one of the strongest princes in the world, and with the almost appearance of the heavy armored cavalry, it is no longer a secret, and it has become the object of study by all princes.

The swarthy iron armor encased the man and the war horse in it, glowing with a cold light in the sunny day.

All the generals and soldiers of the Cao Army felt a chill in their hearts, and they couldn't help but give birth to a war millet.

Closer, closer.

The spearmen who were lined up in front of the horse rejection formation could already see that on the pitch-black mask, the two egg-sized holes were full of hideous and murderous eyes, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

Moreover, the war horses of this ironclad cavalry and the ordinary war horses also have a large area of horses.

The horses of the ironclad cavalry were taller and their limbs were thicker and more powerful.

Even if you don't know how to fight horses, you can see that the iron armor that can carry hundreds of kilograms, the weight-bearing capacity and running speed of these war horses must be too much beyond ordinary war horses, otherwise I am afraid that it will not take long to rush out, and it will be lost.

Compared with the war horses of the Western Liang Army, the war horses of the Cao Army are like thin mules.

Cao Ren also saw it, and a trace of bad thoughts suddenly flashed in his heart.

In the previous chase battle between the scouts of the Xiliang Army and the scouts of the Cao Army, he had already heard the report of the scout colonel, and he never thought that his scout camp could escape the pursuit of the scouts of the Xiliang Army, and there would be any problems.

However, when I think about it now, there is a big problem.

The places where the Han shepherds war horses are only in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou.

Although the endurance is good, the weight-bearing capacity and the explosive power of short-distance running are not satisfactory, while the military horses produced in Liangzhou are high-headed horses introduced in the Western Regions.

Although the endurance is not as good as that of the Hun bantam horse, its weight-bearing capacity and short-distance running speed are far superior to the Hun horse.

There was no reason why the Xiliang cavalry could not catch up with the Cao army scouts, but the Cao army scouts were able to escape every time.

Cao Ren immediately understood that there was definitely something wrong with this.

The biggest possibility is that the Xiliang Army is paralyzing itself.

Although the scout colonel swore an oath that the scout battalion had stared at Luo Zheng's army and never left the scout camp's sight, but now Luo Zheng's main cavalry has gone around behind him, which is enough to explain the problem.

There is definitely a problem with the Xiliang cavalry going south from Kaifeng, otherwise how could Luo Zheng's main cavalry appear here.

The Xiliang cavalry all rode two horses, as long as enough horses were freed up, and a group of people could be confused.

As long as you don't get close and look closely, it's hard to see that there's something wrong inside.

It is no wonder that after the Xiliang army came out of Kaifeng, it changed its previous swift style, and the marching speed became very slow, and the original problem was here, it was not the Xiliang cavalry at all, but a group of people who were forced to ride horses.

And Luo Zheng's main cavalry is very likely to leave Kaifeng at night when the scouts were chasing him that night.

Cao Ren completely understood, but it was too late.

"Luo Zheng Pifu really lives up to his reputation!"

Seeing that a thousand heavily armored cavalry had rushed to within two hundred steps, Cao Ren couldn't help but laugh miserably.

can calculate to such a point, Cao Ren can only be ashamed of himself.

Whether it was the Xiliang army passing through the sour jujube and not entering, going straight south to Kaifeng, putting on a posture of going directly to attack Xuchang, or the chase battle between the scouts of the two armies, and then going south out of Kaifeng, it can be said that they were all misleading Cao Ren step by step, and gradually led Cao Ren into the ditch, thinking that Luo Zheng's main target was Xuchang, and unconsciously gradually relaxed his vigilance.

This kind of grasp of people's hearts is really beyond Cao Ren's consistent cognition.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, Luo Zheng's army also has several obvious flaws.

If you could have been more cautious at that time, you might not have fallen for Luo Zheng's tricks.

However, there are not so many ifs in this world, and once things have happened, it is impossible to change them.

Even if he did it again, Cao Ren might not be able to escape the calculations of Jia Xu, the old fox.

If Cao Ren had led a cavalry, the situation would not have deteriorated beyond control. Even if it is attacked by the Xiliang army, it will not be defeated without resistance.

It's a pity that Cao Ren is in charge of a foot soldier.

Suddenly encountered a surprise attack in the field, the foot soldiers had little resistance in front of the cavalry.

Even if the difference in strength was five times or more, and it was impossible to assemble a formation, it would not be able to stop the cavalry charge.

"Shoot the arrows!"

When the heavy cavalry advanced to within a hundred paces, the commander of the small colonel roared decisively.

Suddenly, thousands of powerful arrows swept into the air in an instant, and shot fiercely at the heads of the heavily armored cavalry.

Cao Ren closed his eyes, he didn't need to look, he had already thought of the result.

This kind of monster wrapped under the iron armor with even men and horses is definitely the natural enemy of the archers, and ordinary arrows with lethal power and arrows will not cause any substantial damage to these ironclad cavalry at all.

If you want to break this kind of iron armor polished iron armor, you need at least a strong bow of more than three stones, and then attach an iron arrow made of pure iron to shoot at close range, it is possible to break this iron armor, and there are a few people in the army who may open a three-stone strong bow.

Even if it is himself, he can only draw a four-stone bow at most, and he can only shoot two arrows at most, and he will be exhausted.

Of the rest of the generals in the army, none of them could draw a three-stone bow, let alone an ordinary archer.

Cao Ren quickly opened his eyes and tightened the big knife in his hand.

Although the result was predicted, we must not give up resistance and fight to the end no matter what.

At this moment, the surging ironclad cavalry had already slammed into Cao Jun's horse rejection array.

The poor horse rejection formation could not stop the charge of the heavy cavalry at all, like two rows of fragile straws, crushed into pieces by the rolling torrent of ironclads, and in the terrible screams, less than a hundred spearmen were directly trampled into flesh.

The momentum of the 1,000 ironclad cavalry charge unabated, with the momentum of destroying the withering and cleverness, directly broke through the second line of defense of the Cao army, and rushed straight to the banner of Cao Ren's Chinese army, the fragile Cao army archers were like a group of stripped naked women, who were powerless to resist the violent and barbaric Xiliang men, and could only accept the baptism of blood and blood in this miserable howl.

"Dead open!"

In the thunderous roar, a Cao Junjian who came up was cut in two by Xu Chu.

The warm blood confused people's eyes, but it aroused the desire of Xiliang soldiers to kill even more.

Under the leadership of Xu Chu, a fierce man, a thousand heavily armored iron cavalry were invincible, and the Cao army was scattered.

A good knife requires good steel to chop through hard bones.

If the heavy armored cavalry is an iron drill, Xu Chu is a diamond drill.

Only the drill bit is hard and sharp enough to chisel through an obstacle that stands in the way of the front.

This is the hatred and characteristics of the ironclad cavalry, only the stronger the force of the leading generals, the stronger the ironclad cavalry can exert more powerful lethality, otherwise the force of the leading generals is insufficient, or once the battle is killed, it is easy to bruise the spirit.

And the ironclad cavalry charged, it was precisely with one blow that they could completely break through the enemy formation.

Otherwise, if the sharp spirit is bruised, once it falls into chaos, the end of the ironclad cavalry will come.

Although these iron-armored monsters are full of lethality, they also have a fatal flaw, that is, they are not flexible enough, and once they fall into chaos, they will be like elephants surrounded by ants, and they will inevitably be bitten to death.

"General, I can't stop it!"

Seeing that the ironclad cavalry had been killed dozens of steps away, and the momentum of the charge was unstoppable, the commander of the pro-army had a sad face, and said to Cao Ren: "It is unencircled, please break through the general quickly, and the final general will fight to the death." ”

"It's just death, how can you leave the soldiers and run for your life alone!"

Cao Ren laughed miserably, raised the big knife fiercely, and said sharply: "If you are not afraid of death, come with a certain person and fight with the Xiliang Army!" ”

After that, he grabbed the horse's belly and killed the heavy armored cavalry who rushed over.

Kill Kill Kill ......

Dozens of soldiers all looked sad, and none of them fled, all of them followed behind Cao Ren and killed him. R1152
