Chapter 497: Trap

The hussars bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows reflected a patch of light. There was a loud buzzing sound, and the hussar regiment fired arrows together, and the arrows rained down into the middle of the Cao army, and many Cao soldiers were shot to the ground, and the whole formation was immediately a little chaotic.

Shoot the arrows! The lieutenant shouted loudly, and the archers hurriedly fired their arrows, which flew sparsely towards the hussars.

In the blink of an eye, the torrent of hussars slammed into the middle of Cao's army. Iron hooves trampled, spears stabbed, Cao Jun fell like harvested wheat, screams and rumbling horses' hooves rang out, blood rain flew all over the sky!

Cao's army couldn't resist and fled, and the hussars roared and chased after them. The arrows kept flying out, knocking down the fleeing Cao soldiers one by one, and the spears were waved, knocking the Cao soldiers who were running wildly to the ground. The scene was chaotic, as if a group of wolves were chasing a group of sheep, the Cao army fled all over the mountains, the hussars chased and killed all over the mountains, those who ran slowly lost their lives, and those who ran fast may not be able to run away. Cao Jun was killed all over the field, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of corpses.

Huang Zhong led the army to chase several miles and collected his troops back.

The remnants of Cao's army will be defeated and will encounter Cao Ren's army. Cao Ren was furious when he heard the news that Niu Jin had been killed by the defeated general, and he was even going to lead the army to sweep away the enemy. Yu Ban hurriedly said: "General, don't be impatient, I'm afraid this is a conspiracy of the enemy army!" General, don't you think Huang Zhong should be in Yingchuan? How did it suddenly appear here? It's so weird! Also, after General Cao Hong and they captured Nanyang, there should have been news a long time ago, why didn't they meet General Cao Hong's messenger at this moment? It's impossible to say that you missed it! Furthermore, Niu Jin's forward and Huang Zhong fought under Nanyang City just now, why didn't our army in the city come to the rescue? It doesn't make sense! ”

Cao Ren also felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "Could it be that Cao Hong and they have encountered an accident?" Shaking his head, "That's not right! If something happens, why hasn't there been any news? Even if you are ambushed by the enemy, no matter what, you will escape with a half of them! ”

Yu Ban said: "It's possible. If the opponent puts General Cao Hong and all of them into Nanyang City, and then closes the four gates, then they can annihilate General Cao Hong and them without falling! ”

Cao Ren was taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really like what you say, then the enemy has laid a big trap on us from the beginning!" Shaking his head, "I can't believe it!" That's impossible! ”

Yu Ban hurriedly said: "General, the situation is very obvious now!" Don't leave anything to chance! Otherwise, things will be out of control! ”

Cao Ren hesitated for a moment, and said categorically: "Order all armies to retreat immediately!" Yu Ban was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I'll go to the order immediately!" "No sooner had he turned his horse's head than a herald galloped from the rear. Seeing this, Yu Ban felt that something might have happened, so he restrained the war horse.

The herald galloped to Cao Ren's horse, reined in the horse, and hurriedly reported: "Oh no, General! The rear of our army was suddenly attacked by enemy hussars, and the whole army was annihilated! ”

Cao Ren was shocked, "What?!" ”

Yu Ban hurriedly asked, "How many enemies are there in the rear army of the raid?" ”

The herald clasped his fists and said: "There are countless mountains and fields, all of them are fast horses and light bows, and light armor and spears. ”

Yu Ban frowned and said, "It's Huang Zhong's hussar legion!" It seems that none of Huang Zhong's hussar regiments are in Yingchuan, they are all here! We're all fooled! Cao Ren shouted at the pro-soldier officers beside him: "Then the map is coming!" The latter immediately stepped forward, took out a sheepskin map from his rucksack on the side of the saddle, and unfolded it in front of Cao Ren. Yu Ban rode his horse to the other side of Cao Ren.

Cao Ren looked at the map, pointed to Anle County, which is more than 50 miles south of Nanyang, and said: "The whole army immediately retreats here and then makes plans!" Yu Ban nodded.

Boom Boom Boom ...... A huge movement like thunder loomed in the north, rolling in.

Cao Ren and Yu Ban are both battle-hardened generals, and when they heard such movements, they were all already there, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look north. I saw that on the hills by the skyline, countless black shadows appeared, and the black shadows first appeared in a line, and then quickly spread into a black wave, rolling in, raising smoke and dust in the sky. It's cavalry! Those cavalrymen are like tigers and horses, like dragons, galloping and roaring, with black cloaks on their shoulders, and horses with iron in their hands, and the battle flags are flying in the smoke and dust in the sky, and the word 'blue wolf' is written on the battle flag at the head, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, like the blue wolf roaring.

Cao Ren was shocked when he saw such a scene, and exclaimed: "It's not good! It's Ma Chao's Blue Wolf Legion! They turned out to be here too!? ”

Cao Ren frowned, pulled out his sword, and roared: "The whole army is arrayed, ready to fight!" ”

The 180,000 Cao troops immediately formed a huge circle, the shield bearers formed a shield wall on the periphery, the pikemen were in the rear, ready to resist the cavalry, and behind were the crossbowmen, ready to attack, and the rest of the infantry and the Chinese soldiers were all in the middle. Cao Jun is worthy of being a well-trained elite division, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has formed a battle formation in such a short period of time!

In just a moment, 10,000 blue wolf army horsemen rushed to Cao Jun, the horses neighed, galloping and roaring, like a flood surging, and like a storm sweeping!

Cao Jun held his breath and pursed his lips.

Shoot the arrows!

With Cao Ren's order, I saw ten thousand arrows fired at once, the sky suddenly darkened, and the rain of arrows flew over! There was a loud crackling sound, and there were ripples in the cavalry torrent, but the impact momentum of the cavalry torrent was not affected in the slightest, but became more rapid!

In the blink of an eye, the torrent of iron cavalry rushed to the front of the enemy line and slammed into it! There was a loud bang, as if the waves were crashing on the shore, the war riders turned on their backs, and the shield bearers flew out one after another! The shield front was knocked out of multiple gaps in an instant! Like a rushing flood, the Iron Horse torrent immediately surged in from the gap and crashed into Cao Jun's spear array like a bamboo forest! The spear array was impulsed by the ferocious impact of the iron horse, but the blue wolf army war horses jumped off their horses one after another by the dense spears!

A moment later, the momentum of the war horse's impact was exhausted, and the Cao Jun's spear formation was almost broken by the opponent's fierce and amazing impact!

Cao's crossbowmen shot a rain of arrows at the cavalry on tall horses. The blue wolf army cavalry turned on their backs, and at the same time, the pikemen shouted and pushed forward, and kept stabbing the opponent's cavalry with the spears in their hands, and one by one the cavalry was picked off their horses.

Woowoo...... There was a horn sound from behind the Blue Wolf Army's war horse. The cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army, which was clashing with the enemy formation, immediately reversed the horse's head, disengaged from the enemy, and ran towards the main formation of the army. At this moment, the main force of the Blue Wolf Army was arrayed on the slope of the mountain in the distance, with its back against the hill.
