Chapter 576: Final Resistance

The surging tide of the sea that Wei Yan imagined did not appear, but tens of thousands of war horsemen rushed out with torches. In fact, instead of torches, they held in their hands, but javelins wrapped in oilcloths and lit them. Tens of thousands of war horsemen rushed towards Cao's camp with burning javelins, like a sea of stars.

Wei Yan didn't understand what the opponent wanted to do? Suddenly, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "Not good! Then he shouted, "Retreat!" Retreat! The officers and soldiers of the Cao army did not understand what was going on for a while, and they did not take action.

At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry armed with flaming javelins rushed to the vicinity of the Yuanmen barracks, and with the help of the strength of their horses, they threw the javelins into the barracks. I saw the fire and rain flying in the sky!

Countless flaming javelins fell into the camp, instantly igniting the firewood, grass, saltpeter, and sulfur oil that Cao Jun had previously arranged. Countless heads of fire sprung up, like fiery snakes raising their heads. The flames spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a sea of fire, and the flames roared in the sky! The 20,000 Cao troops who were lying in ambush in the camp could no longer hide, screaming and running around, like headless flies, in chaos. Wei Yan only led a few hundred cavalry to rush out of the fire and hell with smoke and fire, and rushed onto the pontoon bridge. Holding on to the dock, I looked back, only to see that a camp had been burned into a huge hearth, and in the flames, my own soldiers were burned to death, and the terrible screams resounded in the sky!

Wei Yan was frightened and hurriedly led hundreds of cavalry to flee in a hurry towards the opposite bank.

The warships that had been placed on the river, fearing that they would be swept away from the shore and avoided in the distance.

……

Look to the South Bank Fort.

The Cao army's attack had entered the final stage, and the waves of the Cao army continued to hit the last line of defense of the War Bear Legion. The War Bear Legion usually resists and is crumbling.

Roar! The Cao army attacked the group with a roar of rage and slammed into the defense line of the War Bear Legion. The War Bear Legion couldn't resist it and showed collapse. The Cao army rushed in, and the soldiers on both sides fought together in a bloody battle!

A hoplite of the War Bear Legion slashed an enemy with a sabre in his hand, and was stabbed in the chest by three enemy pikemen in succession! He was knocked back two steps, roared, and rushed up again, swinging his saddle knife and slashing at the enemy pikemen on his left. The other two pikemen were taken aback, screaming madly and stabbing their spears, and the two spears stabbed together on his heavy armor, which was torn apart but not penetrated. The hoplite held the opponent's two spears in his left hand, and raised his horse chopping knife in his right hand to look down, and with a click, the two spears were cut off together. The two Cao soldiers were startled, and before they could react, the hoplites stepped forward, raised their horse swords with both hands and slashed horizontally, cutting off the heads of the two Cao soldiers and flying out!

However, before the hoplite could catch his breath, one of the Cao cavalry who rushed towards him smashed his helmet with a mace and smashed his head!

On the other side, dozens of Lu Bujun war horses, holding horse lances, launched a decisive charge! Dozens of war horses crashed into the enemy soldiers, and the horses stabbed their guns, killing the Cao soldiers on their backs! However, these dozens of war horses soon fell into the opponent's sword mountain and gun forest. I saw the guns surging in, and one by one the war horses were knocked to the ground, and before they could get up, they were stabbed into a troublesome honeycomb by countless spears!

Although the War Bear Legion is brave and good at fighting, it is gradually unable to support itself in the face of crazy enemies that are several times its size.

Zang Ba rode on his war horse and shouted at the top of his voice: "Search for the defense line!" ”

The War Bear Legion fought and retreated, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

The Bear Legion eventually formed a circle, with the shieldmen followed by the former pikemen, the remnants of hoplites, crossbowmen, and cavalry in the center, blood-stained banners fluttering in the air! At this moment, the sun is setting, the sky and the earth are blood-red, and the crows fly across the sky and croak.

The red-eyed Cao Jun rode up, and the crossbowmen of the War Bear Legion immediately sent out a rain of arrows, and the rain of arrows fell, causing countless ripples in the rolling tide of soldiers, but it had no effect on the momentum of the wave!

The shield bearer quickly overlapped the shields to form two shield walls nearly three meters high, and then countless spears poked out of the gaps between the shields, turning the circle into a circle like a giant hedgehog!

The tide of the enemy slammed into the defensive line with a loud and terrifying crashing sound, and it didn't feel like a battle between humans, but like two giant beasts slamming into each other!

The Bear Legion's tower shield men desperately resisted the shield wall to maintain the battle line, and the enemy's impact speed quickly diminished and finally disappeared!

"Turn!" Zang Ba raised his voice and shouted.

The hedgehog-like circle immediately turned, the sharp blades of the spear swept over, and the Cao Jun who were crowded with the circle array were torn apart and screamed to the ground, and in the countless swirling cold light, the Cao Jun soldiers fell one after another, like harvested wheat seedlings!

Seeing this, Xun Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the attacking troops to suspend the attack. Cao Jun retreated in panic.

Xun Yu brought up the crossbowmen and fired intensively at the circle formation of the bear army. Dense rain of arrows came in waves, obscuring the sky and the sun. Falling into the middle of the circle, only a crackling sound was heard, and the shield-bearers were unable to protect themselves at all, and many unprotected soldiers were nailed to the ground by arrows falling from the sky! Although there were casualties without interruption, the soldiers of the War Bear Legion always gritted their teeth and persevered, maintaining their sincerity and integrity!

Xun Yu saw that the opponent was not chaotic, and he couldn't help admiring in his heart, turned his head and ordered the soldiers under him: "Rush with a wooden stake!" ”

The soldiers of the Cao army immediately took action, covering hundreds of soldiers with shield hands, and rushed towards the circle with a dozen logs seven or eight meters long and two sea bowls thick. The crossbowmen of the Lu Bu Army immediately fired, but the arrows shot were basically covered by shields!

Cao Jun rushed to the front of the circle array, and the shield bearers immediately withdrew, and hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed towards the circle with more than a dozen thick logs! 0 bang bang bang bang...... it seemed to be like a ram hitting the city gate with a loud sound, and one by one the tower shield hands were knocked out, and countless gaps appeared in the originally tight shield defense line! Lu Bu's crossbowmen hurriedly gathered their shots, and the hundreds of Cao soldiers fell down one by one, and the attack stopped! However, the main force of the Cao army has already set off a new wave of attacks! The War Bear Legion didn't have time to reorganize its defensive line, and was swept away by the rolling tide of the opponent's troops!

Once again, the two sides are plunged into a bloody and brutal melee! The tide of Cao's soldiers was wave after wave, their morale was like a rainbow, and they looked like crazy, while the soldiers of the War Bear Legion were struggling to support, fighting bloodily and not retreating, and their flesh and blood fell on the battlefield one by one.
