Chapter 831: Surprise

"Fifty steps back!" Looking at Cao Jun on the hillside from afar, Zhang Yang raised his arms and shouted.

With his order, tens of thousands of troops retreated in unison.

Since he only needed to take fifty steps back, Zhang Yangjun did not turn around when he retreated, except for the cavalry, all the soldiers retreated towards Cao's army.

Standing on the hillside, seeing Zhang Yang's army retreating, Xiahou was stunned for a moment.

"General!" Just as he didn't know what Zhang Yang's intentions were, Li Dian, who was following Xiahoudun on the expedition, came to his side and whispered: "The enemy is retreating, obviously asking our army to pursue, what does the general think?" ”

"The military advisor gave me a bag to open when I confronted Zhang Yang." Turning his head to look at Li Dian, Xiahoudun said with some hesitation: "I just don't know if it's a confrontation right now?" ”

"How not?" Hearing that Guo Jia had given him a trick, Li Dian's eyes immediately flashed with excitement, and he said to Xiahoudun: "Zhang Yang's army retreated, and the sergeant faced our army, obviously not to withdraw from the battlefield, but to lead our army down the hill for a decisive battle. Our army is inferior in numbers to theirs, and once we go down the hill, we will lose all our geographical advantages! ”

Deeply impressed by Li Dian's words, Xiahoudun nodded and took out a bag from his arms.

opened the bag, took out a piece of snow-white silk from it, unfolded it and just glanced at it, Xiahoudun suddenly said: "The military advisor is really a god, and he has even expected this. That Zhang Yang must not know that our army will break him, and there is no need to spend Zhou Zhang at all! ”

As he spoke, he handed the silk to Li Dian.

Taking the silk silk from Xiahoudun's hand, Li Dian roughly skimmed through the content on it, and he was also stunned.

"Why didn't we think that this is all we need to do to break the army?" Returning the silk to Xiahoudun, Li Dian asked Xiahoudun.

He obviously didn't expect to get an answer from Xiahoudun.

The answer is very clear in his and Xiahoudun's hearts.

In the early years, Cao Cao relied on the drama Zhicai, and laid the initial pattern of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, since Guo Jia served Cao Cao, he was bound to win every battle, and the two of them had already admired Guo Jia inexplicably.

"Man Cheng, this time, you will be the pioneer." Putting the silk silk in his arms, Xiahoudun whispered to Li Dian: "Don't let Zhang Yang see the clues before acting!" ”

"General rest assured!" Going to Hanoi, Xiahoudun was the main general, and Li Dian was just his deputy, so he was naturally respectful to Xiahoudun, and he responded with a fist, and then reined in and went to the rear.

When Li Dian arrived at the rear formation, the main formation of the Cao army on the hillside moved slightly, but there was no large-scale formation change.

He ordered the army to retreat fifty paces, and when the army stopped, he looked at the Cao army on the hillside.

The battle flags of the Cao army hunted and flew on the hillside, but they did not chase down the mountain at all to fight Zhang Yang.

However, in the process of retreating, Zhang Yang saw the main formation of Cao's army move from a distance.

Although the movements of Cao Jun's main formation are very subtle, and if you don't pay much attention, you can't see the clues at all, but Zhang Yang knows that Cao Jun is powerful, how can he be careless.

In the process of retreating, his eyes did not leave Cao Jun's array for a moment, although the distance was far away, Cao Jun's every move was still in full view of him.

"General!" As soon as he reined in the war horse, a partial general came to Zhang Yang's side and whispered to him: "Cao Jun seems to have no intention of pursuing our army......"

"Who said it wasn't intentional?" Turning his head to look at the general, Zhang Yang raised the spear in his hand, pointed to the hillside and said: "The main formation of the Cao army has just moved, and our army has only retreated enough, so they have not pursued. ”

"Give the order to go down, and retreat fifty paces back!" A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking that the general had commanded.

Receiving the order of Zhang Yang, the general responded with a fist clenched, mounted on horseback, and waved his arms a few times at the neatly formed army.

Seeing the partial general waving his arms, the soldiers of Zhang Yangjun began to retreat again.

The cavalry was the first to turn their horses and turn back.

The infantry was still the same as before, in a neat formation, facing Cao's army and retreating.

As soon as Zhang Yangjun moved, Xiahoudun on the hillside waved his hand violently and shouted: "Attack!" ”

Xiahoudun's shout fell, and the infantry of the Cao army's main formation, which had already been ordered to prepare, immediately flashed to the sides.

The infantry withdrew, and the cavalry behind the main formation, under the leadership of Li Dian, shouted in unison and rushed down the hillside on horseback.

There was not much retreat, Zhang Yang's plan was to retreat four or five times in a row, and the Cao army would not be able to hold back and attack them, but he didn't expect that just after the second retreat, the Cao army's cavalry rushed down the hillside.

"Meet the enemy!" Seeing the cavalry of the Cao army rushing down the hillside, Zhang Yang hurriedly shouted.

Some of the officers and men of Zhang Yang's army who were retreating heard his shout, and some did not even hear him at all.

A chaotic situation occurred, and Zhang Yangjun, who heard the order, immediately strode forward, while those who did not hear the order continued to retreat.

Some people moved forward, some people retreated, and the originally neat array instantly became chaotic.

"Cao Jun is here!" The array was in chaos, and what was even worse was that at this moment, someone in the army shouted.

A chaotic army can never be compared to the combat power they had when they remained disciplined.

This shout, like a bomb that exploded in the army, instantly made Zhang Yangjun even more chaotic.

The cavalry of the Cao army was not very close to Zhang Yang's army, and if Zhang Yang's army could set up an array to meet the enemy in the shortest possible time, the number of Cao cavalry who rushed down the hillside was not very large, and they could not withstand the counterattack of tens of thousands of Zhang Yang's army.

But Zhang Yangjun had a problem at the most critical time, and in the chaos, many soldiers even thought of throwing away their weapons and fleeing.

Leading the cavalry to rush down the hillside, Li Dian couldn't stop holding the horse's belly between his legs, and rushed towards Zhang Yangjun.

He was well aware that there was a large open space between the two sides, and when the cavalry charged, the longer they passed through this open space, the less likely it was that Cao's surprise attack would be successful.

Every second counts, and there is no room for delay.

The cavalry of the Cao army who charged behind Li Dian also shouted, brandished the cavalry short spear in his hand, and rode his horse to charge at Zhang Yangjun.

Cao Jun is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Yangjun, who is already a little chaotic, is even more chaotic.

"Kill!" Having already rushed to the chaotic array of Zhang Yangjun, Li Dian roared, raised his spear, and stabbed towards a general of Zhang Yangjun who rushed up.

To say that the general dared to stop Li Dian, he also had some ability.

The spear was about to pierce the general's chest, and at the most critical moment, the general put his body to the side, and the spear in his hand pierced Li Dian's waist and ribs.

Among the generals of the Cao army, Li Dian's martial arts are just ordinary, and he can fight with a partial general, and he will not be stabbed off the horse as soon as he joins.

When the spear pierced his waist ribs, Li Dian roared, grabbed the shaft of the spear with his free hand, and then pulled it hard.

The spear shaft was pulled by Li Dian, and he pulled it back hard.

At the moment when he pulled the spear back, Li Dian let go of his hand violently, and also pushed the spear forward.

The thrust exerted by Li Dian, coupled with his own pulling, suddenly lost his balance, and he rolled over and fell off the horse.

fell on his heels, and the general's reaction was also extremely fast, and as soon as he was planted on the ground, he arched his butt and wanted to get up.

But as soon as he stood firm, a spear stabbed him in the throat.

The spear "poofed" and plunged into the general's chest.

I didn't expect Li Dian to take advantage of the moment he landed to pierce the spear into his body, and the general stood next to Li Dian's war horse, looking at Li Dian in a daze, his face full of astonishment.

Where would Li Dian delay too much work on him, piercing his chest with a shot, and then pulling the barrel of the gun violently.

As the spear was pulled out by Li Dian, the general's chest was splashed with blood, and he turned over and fell to the ground.

"Kill!" As soon as he rushed to the front of Zhang Yangjun, he picked a partial general, and Li Dian was suddenly full of confidence, and shouted to the cavalry of Cao's army: "Kill all the enemy troops!" ”

"Kill!" The charging cavalry of the Cao army was very close to Zhang Yang's army, they shouted, waved the cavalry short spears in their hands, and rushed into Zhang Yang's army.

The cavalry's impact was extremely powerful, although the Cao cavalry was not equipped with stirrups like the Qin cavalry, and they did not sit very securely on horseback, and some Cao troops would fall from their horses when they collided.

But more Cao Jun still sat very steadily on horseback, although they collided with Zhang Yangjun, their bodies on horseback would shake violently, but in the end they still sat steadily.

Under the collision of the Cao army, the outermost Zhang Yang army was knocked over, and some of those who were not knocked over also fell under the spears stabbed by the Cao army's cavalry in an instant.

Pieces of Zhang Yang's army fell on the battlefield, but the cavalry of Cao's army had no intention of stopping at all.

They had only one purpose, that is, Zhang Yang, who was directing the counteroffensive of the Zhang Yang Army in the Chinese army.

The cavalry of the Cao army rushed into the array of the army, and Zhang Yang knew very well that the number of soldiers and horses under his command was far greater than that of the Cao army, as long as the soldiers could fight back, the Cao army would definitely not be able to resist.

Just as he was ordering the partial generals to lead their troops and horses to counterattack, a group of Cao cavalry rushed through the defense line of Zhang Yang's army with a shout and rushed straight towards the Chinese army.

Seeing thousands of Cao troops rushing towards the Chinese army, Zhang Yang shouted in panic: "Quickly meet the attack and repel the Cao army!" ”

Although the army was already in chaos, Zhang Yang's army was not all cowards, especially those cavalry who had not yet been put into the battlefield, since Cao's army rushed into the array, they were ready to protect Zhang Yang.

After receiving Zhang Yang's order, the two partial generals roared loudly and led the cavalry to counterattack the Cao army that broke through the defense.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and the acceleration of the cavalry did not work at all, and the two armies did not even add up their speed, and they collided in one place.

"Kill!" led the cavalry to collide with the Cao army, and one of the generals roared, and the big knife in his hand flew over, and he actually killed several Cao army cavalry in a row.
