Chapter 489: Half a catty and eight taels

Xu Huang immediately said to Wu Yi: "You lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to resist the ban, and I will lead the army back to help!" Wu Yi immediately clenched his fists and said, "General, go, I'll leave it to me here!" Xu Huang pulled the reins of the horse and shouted: "The leopard Taojun is coming with me!" Then he led eighty or ninety thousand soldiers and horses to Dazhai.

And at this moment, Yu Ban, who had not really launched an attack on the other side, pulled out his sword, waved it forward, and shouted: "Attack!" The war drums roared and roared, and tens of thousands of horsemen rushed down the river with shouts, raising a splash of water rushing towards the shore, and the momentum was not comparable to just now. Wu Yi raised his right hand and shouted, "Ready!" ”

Hertz! The shield-bearers shouted in unison to form a shield wall, the archers took out arrows and put them on the bowstring, and the crossbowmen pulled the bowstring with their feet and loaded the arrows.

The Cao army rushed ashore, and the strong crossbowmen of the Lu Bu army shot first, and the rain of arrows like locusts flew into the middle of the Cao army, and many Cao troops were shot to the ground. Cao Jun immediately reduced the speed of his charge, the shield hand pushed to the front, and the other soldiers and horses followed, rushing towards the position of Lu Bu's army without hurry.

The strong crossbowmen of the Lu Bu army struggled to unfold their bowstrings and reload their arrows, and fired again. A powerful rain of arrows crackled on the shields, and the shields of several shield-bearers were pierced and knocked to the ground. Cao Jun's strong crossbowmen suddenly raised their bows and arrows and sent out a rain of arrows in Lu Bu's army, and the arrow rain roared, and many arrows hit the shield with a loud clanging sound; Many more arrows passed through the shield-bearers, pikemen, and into the midst of the archers, and many archers were knocked to the ground!

Lu Bujun's strong crossbowmen and archers continued to design, and Cao Jun kept approaching while fighting back with bows and crossbows against the rain of arrows from Lu Bujun.

Finally, the two sides are very close! Cao Jun shouted violently, surging up like a tide, and the shield hand slammed into Lu Bujun's shield line first. The shield hands on both sides collided with the shield hands and made a loud bang! The Cao army in the back rushed up and pushed the shield hand in front of him to squeeze forward, and tens of thousands of people formed a joint force and squeezed like a rushing torrent! The front of Lü Bu's army was immediately unable to resist, Yan zhòng was concave, and in the blink of an eye, the front collapsed, and Cao Jun shouted, poured into Lü Bu's army, and killed indiscriminately with a knife.

Wu Yi frowned, waved the knife forward, and shouted, "Rush! Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Lu Bu army rushed up with a shout, and the two sides scuffled. The 60,000 or 70,000 horses of the armies on both sides were mixed together and slaughtered, the swords and lights danced wildly, the blood and water surged, and the chaotic fighting sound was earth-shattering, and the soldiers on both sides fell to the ground with blood splashed one after another.

Just when the two sides were inseparable, Yu Ban's personal commander 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses crossed the river to kill, divided into two wings and outflanked Wu Yi's army.

Wu Yi was horrified when he saw this and wanted to get out, but now that the soldiers of the two sides were fighting together, it was impossible to get out. While still hesitating, Cao Jun outflanked and formed a siege against Wu Yijun, and Wu Yi's army was in danger.

At the same time, Xu Huang led 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers of the Bao Tao Army into the camp. I saw that the fire in the camp was soaring, a large number of Cao troops had rushed into the camp, and they were galloping vertically and horizontally, and the organized resistance of their own soldiers had been completely destroyed, and they were scattered in the entire barracks fighting separately, and the Cao army was about to fall into the camp.

In the light of the fire, Xu Huang saw Cao Hong and immediately waved his army to kill him. The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought, Xu Huang found Cao Hong, and the two generals fought in thousands of troops. Xu Huang struggled to wield a battle axe, and the tiger was like a mountain; Cao Hong brandished a big knife, the tiger roared and the dragon roared, and the momentum sank. The two generals fought for more than 20 rendezvous, and there was no winner or loser.

Wu Yi's side. Wu Yi's troops finally couldn't resist, the whole army was rushed to pieces by the Cao army led by Yu Ban, the remnants of the defeated army fled in all directions, and Wu Yi led a defeated army to run in the direction of the camp. Cao Jun's morale was like a rainbow, and he chased after him. Seeing that Lu Bujun's army is about to end in a fiasco!

Suddenly, the flames in the Cao military camp on the opposite bank burst into flames, and at the same time, more than a dozen red signal rockets flew into the sky, and the night sky was extremely eye-catching.

Yu Ban, who was chasing and killing Wu Yi, was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately frowned and scolded: "It must be Huang Zhong!" Damn it! He glanced at the Lu Bu military camp, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "The whole army will follow me back to the camp!" Then he led his soldiers and horses across the river and rushed back to the camp.

When he returned to the camp, he saw that Huang Zhong's hussar army was galloping in the camp to kill, and Cao Jun was either killed by the hussars' bows and arrows, or was cut to death by the horses. The scene was chaotic, and the soldiers and horses guarding the village had completely collapsed, and they were rushing in all directions. Yu couldn't help but think about it, and hurriedly led the army to meet the battle, and the two sides scuffled.

The battle lasted until the second half of the night, when Cao Hong saw that he could not break Lu Bu's army, and saw that Yu Ban's troops and horses had not appeared for a long time, and he was worried that things would change, so he took the initiative to retreat. At about the same time, Huang Zhong also took the initiative to retreat because he couldn't win. The soldiers and horses on both sides retreated, and the originally noisy battlefield quieted down.

The moonlight has sunk in the west, and the grass on both sides of the water is full of corpses, and the water is still murmuring; Flames burned fiercely in the barracks on both sides, and many sergeants were busy putting out fires and collecting the wounded and corpses. The scene after the Great War makes people feel a little sad. In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, and both paid the price of 30,000 or 40,000 casualties.

……

Cao Jun's big tent.

Cao Hong said with a regretful face: "I didn't expect that a busy night would be in vain!" It's hateful that Huang Zhong suddenly led an army to attack, otherwise Xu Huang and Wu Yi would have been completely defeated by us! Yu Ban sighed.

Cao Hong asked Yu Ban: "Wen Ze, what should we do now?" ”

Yu Ban frowned and pondered: "The enemy's strength is comparable to mine, and the combat power is also comparable to mine. Tonight's plan didn't work, and it would be even more difficult to defeat Lu Bu's army again! After a pause, "I don't know what the situation is on General Cao Ren's side now?" If General Cao Ren has already captured Luoyang, then we should defend this place to the death! Otherwise,......"

One rushed in and reported: "General Cao Ren and General Li Dian are here!" Before the words fell, Cao Ren Li Dian strode into the big tent.

Cao Hong Yuban was stunned when he saw Cao Ren and Li Dianwolf's unbearable appearance. Cao Hong came back to his senses and asked urgently: "Great March, you, ...... are you?" ”

Cao Ren walked over to the top and sat down, took off his helmet, threw it aside, and kept silent. Cao Hong and Yu Ban felt a little bad, so they didn't dare to ask again, and looked at Li Dian on the side. Li Dian sighed and said, "Lu Bu had long expected that we would raid Luoyang, so he had set a trap early!" Our army, the whole army was annihilated, and the Tiger Prison Pass was lost! Cao Hong and Yu Ban were shocked, and Cao Hong shouted in disbelief: "How can this be?!" Yu Ban frowned and said: "Judging from the situation since we attacked Nanyang, the opponent has indeed taken precautions!" ”
