~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cao Cao is gathering forces and fighting to the death.
Ma Han is also reining in his forces and unifying his command.
There are more than 1,000 palace guards in Shouchun Palace, which originally belonged to Yuan Yao's old department, because Yuan Yao was a man who surrendered to the seal, of course, he could not be deprived of his military power without fault. Therefore, although he knew that Yuan Dagongzi was not the material for the commander of the army, Ma Han could not move him—at least not for now.
However, now that Yuan Yao himself has died, he has escaped from the battle, which not only loses the hearts of the people, but also becomes the best reason for Ma to beat him.
After Yuan Yao fled back to the main hall, he was taken to Ma Han by Chen Zhi with a black face.
Ma Han didn't say much, only pointed to Yuan Yao's waist. Yuan Dagongzi obediently untied the soldier talisman on his waist and raised his hand to offer it.
Ma Han took the talisman, didn't look at it, and threw it to Gao Shun casually: "Replenish the trapped camp, after this battle, those who survive can be dead." ”
About 300 palace guards were killed and captured in battle, and at this time there were still 200 palace guards left in the palace city, plus the 500 allocated to Gao Ran, a total of 700 remaining, and the trapped camp was only more than 100 dead in battle. In other words, Ma Han is equivalent to expanding the army of the trapped camp again.
Gao Shun received the charm and bowed deeply: "Shun is willing to lead the camp to fight with the Cao family to the death, but if there is a soldier, the enemy will not be allowed to step into the inner main hall for half a step." ”
Ma Han waved his hand: "The damage to the trapped camp is not small, almost everyone is injured, and the body has not recovered, and the strength is less than fifty percent on weekdays, and it is really unwise to rush to the battle." Pepin. You will command the remnants of the trapped camp and the remaining palace guards, wait for the opportunity, and chase the dead to the north. ”
After the explanation, Ma Han summoned Chen Xing, the deputy director of Hawkeye, who joined the army with the army, and asked, "How is the loss of the Cao army?" ”
Chen Xingshi said: "In the fierce battle of Miyagi for two days, Cao's army lost more than 1,300 people, including more than 300 auxiliary soldiers and nearly 1,000 regular soldiers. In addition, the second lieutenant Zhang and Gao fought fiercely with the enemy for half a day, destroying more than 500 enemies, most of whom were regular soldiers. Cao's army was annihilated by more than 2,000 people. ”
Ma Han nodded: "So so." In addition to Han Hao's more than 3,000 troops, Cao Cao also had 6,000 troops in his hands. Now he puts in three thousand at once, and if he eats them, he will be finished...... It's good, it's time to close the net. Command! ”
The clerk immediately unfolded the paper roll and took the notes.
Ma Han stood up, paced with his hands in his hands, and kept giving instructions in his mouth: "1. Order Gan Xingba to lead 1,500 sharp soldiers to enter the city from the West Gate Waterway." inserted between Cao Cao's army and Han Hao's rear army to separate the two armies; 2. Order Zhang Junyi and Gao Yuanbo to leave 600 soldiers to guard the three gates, and launch a general attack on Han Hao with all their might; 3. Li Mancheng formed a marine battalion with clan soldiers and 500 Shanyue soldiers, and landed to contain Xiahou Yuan and Zhu Ling. Do not divide the troops into rescue; Fourth, Chen Shuzhi led 400 guards to attack, defeated Cao Hong, and defeated Cao Cao! ”
Half a quarter later, three eagles flew out of the sky above the palace, flying in different directions. A moment later. The dragon and wolf army within a radius of fifty miles from Shouchun all took action.
At the time of Shenpai, the entire Shouchun City was in full swing, and Gan Ning's fleet also encountered Cao's army. The two sides moved their hands. On the contrary, it was quiet in front of Miyagi, which had fought the most fiercely before. Of course, this silence is nothing more than the calm before the Great War.
Cao Hong once again put on double armor and once again stood at the forefront of the military formation. He knew that the opponent this time must be the dragon wolf guard. Defeat this guard, and you will face the horseman. The trapped camp is so strong that it has not been selected for the guard, and the combat strength of this guard can be imagined.
But Cao Hong is still full of confidence, no matter how elite the opponent is, it is only 500 people, and the horse warrior must leave at least 100 as his followers, and the real battle will be 400 at most. Three thousand against four hundred, such an overwhelming advantage, if he can't win, he Cao Hong won't have to go to the battlefield again in the future.
The 3,000 Cao army is divided into three zigzag phalanxes according to the sharp soldiers, cangtou, and auxiliary pawns, and each phalanx is arranged in turn as sword and shield soldiers, spear and halberd soldiers, and crossbow soldiers. There is no doubt that the middle armor phalanx where Cao Hong is located is the backbone of the Cao army, and the auxiliary phalanx on the right wing is the weakness of the Cao army. However, this "weakness" is obviously Cao Hong's bait, once the guards attack the auxiliary phalanx, they will be flanked by the phalanx of armor soldiers who stand out in front. Will the dragon wolf guard bite this bait?
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the inner wall of Miyagi. A hundred steps outside the wall, there are three thousand Cao pawns, and the spear halberd is like a forest; Within a hundred steps of the wall, there are four hundred dragon and wolf guards, with dazzling armor and cold swords and guns.
The decisive battle is imminent.
Ma Han led a hundred dragon and wolf archers, climbed the left and right corner towers, the corner towers could not accommodate these many people, some dragon and wolf archers even climbed to the top of the building, or sat or stand, picked up the bow and tuned the string.
The five hundred guards of the horse warriors, because of the strict selection, must be loyal and excellent, and they must also have rich combat experience, and they are the elite of the elite. The selection conditions were so strict that they had only been maintained at about 350 people earlier. Until Lejin brought back more than 1,000 barbarian battalions, he selected more than 100 people from them, and made up the number of 500. In this way, the composition of the dragon wolf guard is one hundred bow horses, two hundred light horses, and two hundred heavy horses.
In this battle, it changed from light and heavy cavalry to light infantry and heavy infantry. As a long-range soldier, the archers will be on horseback and climb to standby.
Needless to say, the armor of the dragon wolf heavy cavalry was strong, and there were basically no weapons to break, while the light cavalry also had special protection. The light cavalry is equipped with half-body armor as standard, and on the chest, abdomen and back, each has a smooth and shiny heart guard, which can not only prevent arrows, but also has good protection against stabbing and slashing, and wears a protective iron helmet. It can be said that the princes of the world are well-equipped to this Cheng dù, and there is only one family. And this is just armor, their weapons are the pinnacle of cold weapons. Soon, Cao Jun will taste it.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, the pace of the three thousand Cao pawns, although not necessarily neat, but the momentum is amazing, rushing in front of the military formation, there are still hundreds of auxiliary pawns carrying the crashing wood.
Cao Hong walked at the front of the Ruishi array, staring at the two corner towers two hundred steps away, which were full of archers, could there be a horse warrior among them? If Ma Han is here, will he be eyeing himself? Cao Hong walked and walked, the leather shield in his hand was raised higher and higher, almost covering his face, and at the same time, his steps couldn't help but slow down. So, he soon overtook him and surrounded him—facing the arrow of death that might be aimed at him. Cao Hong couldn't help but be timid.
The three thousand Cao troops had approached the inner palace wall fifty paces, and there was still silence behind the wall, and hundreds of auxiliary soldiers carrying the crashing wood shouted in unison, running wildly, rushing towards the red tile and white wall.
At this moment, an earth-shattering crash sounded, and the inner palace wall cracked like a spider's web, and the entire twenty zhang wall directly south collapsed. The smoke was misty, the mud and sand were flying, and one was covered with thick armor. Wearing iron masks and showing only two eyeballs, the army broke through the wall and fought back.
I don't need you to tear down the wall, I will break the wall by myself; If you don't wait for you to call, I'll kill you first.
This domineering momentum frightened the hundreds of Cao Jun's auxiliary guards who were carrying the crashing wood so much that they threw down the collision wood one after another, hugging their heads and running away.
It was the first time that the soldiers of Cao had seen such an army armed to the teeth, and the three thousand-strong phalanx couldn't help but stir.
Cao Hong immediately shouted: "Kill them." Cut off the head, peel off the armor, whoever cuts off the head, the armor goes to whom. ”
Sergeant Cao was even more agitated. But this time it was different, not panic, but excitement. In the Cao army, which generally lacked armor, there was a good pair of armor. At least three times more chance of survival. For the sake of the most ordinary two-gear armor, it is not uncommon to hit a dog's brain.
As Cao Hong raised his arms and shouted, the sharp pawn phalanx took the lead in pounced fiercely. The phalanx of the pale pawns and auxiliary pawns on the left and right flanks also struck like hooks.
Phew-
A sharp bang. An arrow flew out of the left corner tower, crossed a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and fell from mid-air.
It seemed that this was a ranging arrow, but the arrow was so fierce that it pierced the skull of a sharp soldier, went in the forehead, and came out in the back of the head, bringing out a bloody arrow.
What a domineering arrow!
Cao Hong saw it in his eyes, and the word "Ma Han" almost blurted out.
There was a strange sound in the air, arrows flew in the air, and hundreds of arrows fell, and the target was the auxiliary pawn phalanx.
Cao Hong's bait, Ma Hao bitten, but not with the army, but with a bow and arrow.
Before Cao Hong attacked, he also calculated the distance, one hundred and fifty paces, which was already more than the normal killing distance of the bow and arrow. But he forgot that the standard of measurement does not apply to the standards of archers in the Central Plains, especially not to the standards of ordinary bows.
The dragon and wolf bow riding and pulley bow, how can he guess?
Looking at the large number of soldiers in the auxiliary phalanx falling, Cao Hong couldn't help but secretly rejoice that these arrows did not come towards his own sharp pawn phalanx - of course, he would not be naïve enough to think that this was the mercy of the other party's subordinates, most likely because his sharp pawn phalanx and the dragon wolf guard had been strangled together, so in order to prevent accidental injury, he was not hit by arrows.
But Cao Hong definitely didn't expect that what he missed was not only the dragon wolf archer, but also the dragon wolf guard......
Two armies with great disparity in numbers and no less imposing finally collided head-on, like a raging current crashing into an embankment, setting off a stormy wave, no, a wave of blood.
Zheng Zheng! Swords, halberds, spears and axes, stabbed upwards, only stirring up clusters of blinding sparks on the thick armor. Even the halberd slash that the dead could not stop, only scratched the iron helmet with sparks, but to no avail.
Cao Junrui exclaimed: "It's iron armor!" Thick iron armor! W-How can this be broken? ”
Bang bang! The axes and mallets fell, and the fifty heavy armored soldiers in the front row killed more than 40 Cao soldiers with a single hammer strike; One step further, the axe rose and fell, and another thirty or forty sharp soldiers were bleeding...... This killing efficiency can only be described as high-speed cruelty.
Standing at the front of the array, the little giant iron slave, who was a head taller than the others, held a crank giant axe that was one size larger than the average guard, grinned under the iron mask, licked his lips, and hummed: "It's so broken!" ”
Cao Jun's sharp sword was slashed, the spear was broken, and the halberd was broken, but it had no effect on this impregnable military formation. The dragon wolf heavy armor soldier stood still, just smashing the axe, mallet, wolf tooth and other heavy weapons on the head. There is no need for any fancy moves, it is a simple single split. With every blow, blood will be splattered.
A soldier of Cao Jun struggled to swing his halberd in the crowd, and finally, a heavy armored soldier was poked by him in the abdomen, and the bell fell like a shiny thing. Cao Jun threw away the twisted halberd, stretched out his bloodstained hand, and picked up the shiny thing tremblingly. At this time, I found out that it was an iron plate with the length and width of a palm and the thickness of a finger.
Holding tightly on this piece of iron plate that was poked and dented, Cao Junrui looked up to the sky and howled: "It can't be broken, it can't be broken!" ”
The next moment, a hammer fell, and Cao Jun's sharp head exploded......
Compared with the tragic blows suffered by Cao Jun's sharp pawns, the auxiliary pawn phalanx and the cangtou pawn phalanx were not much better, they were hit by long-range attacks.
Dragon wolf archers, one in a hundred, almost every one of them is a strong archer and a marksman, fast, far, and accurate are their common labels. In just ten breaths, thousands of arrows were shot from the left and right corner towers, which can be called a storm of arrows.
The phalanx of auxiliary pawns who were wiped out was in mourning. Twenty breaths later, the whole formation collapsed, and the rain of arrows still drove them for more than fifty paces before stopping.
Defeat the auxiliary pawn phalanx, and the storm turns to the pale-headed pawn phalanx.
There are many archers in the cangtou pawn, but none of them can shoot a hundred steps, and in the face of the ravages of the dragon wolf archers, yes, ravage, only to bear, and when they can't bear it, there is only rout.
Ma Han barely made any moves, and his goal was to kill the generals - to kill a hundred generals, tooth generals, and main generals. The commanders from top to bottom were cleaned up, and an army was finished.
Ma Han shot five times, and shot five generals with more than 100 generals wearing helmets and white feathers. Finally, in the chaotic crowd, the ultimate goal was found.
Phew-
An arrow fell from the sky, and it was about to pierce Cao Hong, but unfortunately a sharp pawn was flashing in front of Cao Hong.
The arrow pierced through the armor, pierced the chest, broke the shield, and then penetrated the armor - it was actually an arrow skewered, and after shooting a pawn, the arrow was still powerful and amazing, piercing the leather shield in Cao Hong's hand, shattering the armor, and inserting it into the right chest.
"Horse-Fierce!" This time, Cao Hong finally roared, and after the roar, he spurted blood and fell. (To be continued......)
