~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overlooking from the top of the mountain, two miles away, the half-arc faint smoke emitted by the two iron horses raged back and forth around the two circular formations. On the other side, the two cavalry chased each other, wading through the forest and wading through the stream, moving east and west, and never engaged. However, it is obvious that the side with a small number of people is shot off the horse by the opponent's cold arrow from time to time, even if it jumps like thunder, but the horsepower is not enough, and it is always unable to catch up.

The galloping of the white cavalry is not much worse than that of the dragon wolf bow horse, and it is on the same level as the dragon wolf light cavalry, but they suffer from the loss that the horses are not as good as people.

All the war horses ridden by the dragon wolf are all high-quality horses from Xiliang and Liaodong. This thing can't be bought with money, you have to have a way, have connections, and go directly to the "manufacturer" - that is, the various Hu tribes to pick up the goods, in order to ensure that you get the best war horse. Those horses that were obtained from the hands of second-class dealers, and I don't even know how many times they changed hands, were mostly medium or inferior horses, and there were very few good horses, and whether they could be bought depended on their character.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are warlords in the north, and they still have some ways to buy horses. However, since Ma Han controlled the north bank of the Yellow River and the places of Xiliang and Hedong, all high-quality horses were not allowed to cross the Huai. As a result, Cao Liu had fewer and fewer war horses in his hands, not to mention good horses, and even medium horses could not be equipped, and there were cavalry but no horses.

Therefore, to cover Sun Quan's southward journey, Zhou Yu specially approved the supply of more than 100 war horses, and finally gathered a horse. But the war horses of the Jiangdong Army ...... Alas. Sensei! It is estimated that when Ma Han sees it, he will only slaughter the army.

This kind of inferior horse that can only bully a foot pawn, against a good horse ridden by a dragon and wolf, is simply the gap between a horse and a mule, how do you chase? Gasp for air.

On the top of the mountain, among the trees, Xiahou Yuan retracted his gaze, glanced at the fierce man beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Yide, the battle situation is not good." We have to hurry up, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it if we delay any longer......"

Zhang Fei's gaze did not pay much attention to the battlefield, but stared at a place hundreds of steps behind the Dragon Wolf Army's formation-the Dragon Wolf Army camp, which was his goal.

Xiahou Yuan's slightly anxious words, Zhang Fei listened to them in his ears, but he didn't say anything, only grinding his teeth, and his eyes were as round as a leopard. Like a panther that has found its prey. It wasn't until half an hour later that a military marquis hurriedly appeared and whispered: "Third general, get ready." ”

Zhang Fei smiled at Xiahou Yuan: "Okay." Xiahou, it's time to work! ”

Xiahou Yuan led 500 cavalry elites to assault the dragon wolf army formation from the flank, and Zhang Fei led 350 cavalry elites to attack the camp, this is the tactic jointly formulated by Cao Cao and Liu Bei. It is necessary to ensure the implementation of this set of tactics. Be prepared in advance. Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrived five days ahead of schedule, these five days were not idle to fight flies, they were prepared.

Cao Liu had already decided to block the attack across the river. They must have scouted the nearby terrain beforehand, they had the time. As a result of the investigation, it was unexpectedly found that there was a shoal more than ten miles upstream of the tributary of the water, and there was nothing to see on the surface, but it could wade across the river. Of course, you have to make sure that there has not been heavy rain in the near future.

Cao Liu has to report the great news, this is a good opportunity to break the enemy, but I don't know who is coming, if it is a horseman, no matter how good the attack plan is, it will be ruined.

Fortunately, the person who came was not Ma Han, but Lejin, which ruled out the first possibility. Next, let's see if there is a witch zhu in the dragon and wolf army, at least from the beginning of the war to the imitation, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have not seen witch Zhu. Because of this, the two decided to take a gamble.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both sent their most capable generals, Cao Cao's side was naturally Xiahou Yuan, and Liu Bei's side was Zhang Fei's volunteer. They each selected elite dead soldiers, plus more than 100 horsemen, the number is not large, but the elite is abnormal, full of strange soldiers.

These two strange soldiers, before Guan Yu began to call the formation, had quietly left the team, bypassed a large circle, avoided the dragon and wolf scouts, crossed the river from the shallow water, and plunged into the deep mountains. Two strange armies of less than a thousand people, with a human rank and a horse binding mouth, made a big circle according to the route explored in advance, and finally succeeded in going around behind the dragon and wolf army.

Xiahou Yuan was already optimistic, Lejin's infantry formation had two wings, left and right, both of which were six hundred to eight hundred people phalanx, and the two wings were not neat, among which the number of people on the left wing was slightly smaller, and the momentum was weak, Xiahou Yuan was sure to rush away. But there are fifty or sixty people in the Lejin Chinese army, all dressed in armor, shining armor, holding heavy weapons, and you can see at a glance that they are not easy to mess with. If, while charging, such a heavy cavalry is attacked from the flank and rear, the consequences are terrible. Therefore, the task assigned by Xiahou Yuan to nearly 100 cavalry is to withstand these dozens of heavy cavalry, and it is best to withstand the dragon and wolf light cavalry that has turned back to kill. As long as you hold it for a while, after the foot soldiers break through the dragon wolf infantry formation, they will be able to eat this elite after they surround the dragon wolf heavy cavalry.

Zhang Fei was also optimistic, from the top of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, there was a cliff, which was at the back of the dragon wolf barracks. Descend from here, and you can land on the ground about 20 zhang. Then, burn! Kill! And the military marquis reported that it was ready, referring to the readiness of the rope drop.

The two will go smoothly with each other and act separately.

When Zhang Fei led three hundred and fifty sharp soldiers, under the cover of mountains and rocks and forests, and carefully slid down the rope, Xiahou Yuan had already assembled his troops and made the final preparations before sprinting.

"Gentlemen, this battle is related to whether the lord can gain a foothold in Jiangxia, and it is also related to the life and death of the monarchs. Only win, not defeat, I, Xiahou Yuan, live and die with all the kings, advance and retreat together! ”

"Life and death together! Advance and retreat together! ”

Five hundred sharp soldiers shouted in unison, and a huge echo buzzed through the mountains and forests.

This loud noise alarmed the nearby dragon and wolf scouts, and also alarmed the Lejin army several miles away.

Xiahou Yuan turned over and got on the horse, and the hundreds of horsemen behind him also saddled the horse at the same time, and more than 100 spears and halberds were raised like a forest.

"Kill!"

Iron hooves roll thunder, hundreds of pawns vibrate, desperate to rush forward.

The dragon and wolf scouts who heard the sound saw it from a distance, and they couldn't stop it at all, so they turned around one by one, and rushed back with all their might, trying to report the news to the general before the enemy army.

When Le Jin heard the news, he immediately drove the three hundred auxiliary soldiers out of the left wing phalanx according to the predetermined plan, so that the three hundred soldiers contracted the formation from the fierce soldiers to form a stable "walnut array", which was short and concise and could not be smashed...... However, it all takes time. And the sound of killing that is getting closer and closer, it is obvious that the enemy will not give him enough time to regroup.

Le Jin did not recall the dragon wolf light horse, he knew very well that Cao Cao was waiting for this opportunity. Once he recalls the cavalry, the enemy infantry will launch a fierce attack on him, and the enemy will be attacked on both sides, and the tide of the battle will be reversed, and the good situation in the early stage will be lost. Le Jin not only did not let the light horse return to ask for help, but personally beat the war drums to cheer up the three armies.

"Dragon and wolf heavy riders, attack!"

With Le Jin's order, more than 60 heavy riders quickly inserted pieces of iron plates into each pocket, closed their armor, lifted the long soldiers, and instantly transformed into real iron armor horses.

The iron cavalry rushed, the ground shook the mountains, although there were only more than sixty horsemen, but the power was more terrifying than the impact of hundreds of ordinary cavalry. This can be seen from the menacing origin of Xiahou Yuan's infantry army, to the hesitation of his steps, and then to the hesitation of his feet.

Ironclad heavy cavalry, the natural nemesis of the infantry, unless there is a special defense of the heavy cavalry super long soldiers and a tight shield array, otherwise just like a chaotic collision with the heavy cavalry, it is really like an egg hitting a stone......

Xiahou Yuan rushed to the front, he didn't shout hoarsely and shouted "rush for me", he only led by example, he was not afraid of death, and was the first to rush into the heavy cavalry formation.

Sonorous!

Xiahou Yuan's men and horses were one, like a strong wind blowing, and the dragons and wolves on both sides rode heavily and staggered, and even fell off their horses. The spear in Xiahou Yuan's hand was broken, and then he pulled out the halberd to cut the enemy, the enemy rode off the horse, and the halberd also flew away, and then grabbed the enemy's spear, swept and sprinted, and the sound of shouting and shouting almost wanted to split his throat.

When Xiahou Yuan came out of the formation, half of his body was stained with blood, both enemies and his own, his two arms kept trembling, and the ring-headed knives that were tightly held in the bloody palms and didn't know how many weapons were slashed. And immediately after, there were originally more than 20 riders, and there were less than 10 riders left......

Xiahou Yuan raised his bloody face, stared at his blood-red eyes, and shouted: "Zhang Yide, if you don't make a move at this time, when will you wait!" ”

As if hearing Xiahou Yuan's blood complaint, the dragon wolf military camp suddenly burst into murder, and at the same time several light smoke was raised, and the light smoke quickly turned into thick smoke, and the flames that rose into the air with the thick smoke could be seen on the other side of the river.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei slapped the chariot in unison, stood up in ecstasy, and pointed at each other with their swords and halberds: "Attack!" It's timely! ”

War is a big gamble, and when the opportunity comes, you must dare to bet. In addition to leaving a team of guards behind Cao Liu, all the troops at hand were all invested. The last 2,000 Cao Liu coalition troops swarmed across the bridge, merged with Guan Yu and Han Hao's army formations, and launched a counterattack against the dragon and wolf light cavalry.

At this time, the dragon wolf rode lightly, arrows, and javelins, killing and wounding a large number of enemy troops, seriously shaking the morale and position of the enemy army. At this time, as long as the infantry phalanx of this army is connected in time, it engages the enemy, and the light cavalry rushes from the two flanks of the chaotic enemy formation, and there is no suspense in defeating the enemy army. At this critical juncture, enemy reinforcements swarmed in, and what about the dragon wolf infantry army......

Throat! Le Jin threw the drum in his hand to the ground, did not look back at the burning camp at all, took the gun and shield handed by Hu Cong, and slammed it to the ground: "I am thirsty, I want to drink blood; I'm hungry and want meat. Who will eat and drink with me? ”

Eight hundred barbarians danced wildly with their weapons and shouted like crazy: "Go together!" Let's go! ”

When Lejin conquered the far north, every time he charged, he had to make this sentence; And every time he said this, the barbarians were like beating chicken blood.

Le Jin held a steel gun in one hand and an iron shield in the other, and walked from the back of the cracked barbarian battalion to the front, with his face and armor closed, and the gun and shield horizontal, like a mountain leopard and rushing forward. Behind him, 800 barbarians screamed wildly, like a hundred beasts running together, devouring thousands of enemy troops 200 paces away.

At the same time, the three hundred soldiers also greeted Xiahou Yuan's four hundred strange soldiers.

Only the hundreds of auxiliary guards who were scrambled like headless flies were left behind, and they were at a loss in horror towards the camp where the fire was getting fiercer and the killing was getting louder and louder.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's strange soldiers have appeared, where are Lejin's strange soldiers? (To be continued......)
