Chapter 592: Wind and Fire
It was a sunny spring day, the blue sky was like a huge jewel, crystal clear, although a few clouds would drift from time to time, but it did not affect the purity of the sky at all, so that everyone who looked up at the sky couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.
Such weather is suitable for traveling, farming in the fields, and is also suitable for large armies.
Especially for the side with superior forces, it is very safe to fight in such climatic conditions. Because the visibility is excellent, there will be no ambush, even if there is a surprise attack, you can see it from a distance, and make timely adjustments to respond.
Therefore, when Cao Bao realized that the enemy's hole cards were exhausted, he did not hesitate to put the last new force around him into battle.
This battle made him feel terrified, and he made up his mind that after defeating Wang Yu this time, he couldn't say anything to stay in the East China Sea, and even Xiapi couldn't continue to stay.
He completely put away his previous dreams that were boundless. This is only 4,000 hussars, and they are so close to death that they are alive, if Wang Yu transfers the army, what will he do? Heavy losses, more than 20% of the Danyang soldiers?
Accept it when you see it, and with this victory and the money and food looted, it is serious to find a discerning and hungry owner to take refuge. To hell with the Xuzhou herd and the princes of any party, to hell with it.
Father...... Lao Tzu really isn't that material! He cried out silently.
It's a humble and sympathetic wish.
With 15,000 people, facing 4,000 enemy soldiers, the greatest expectation turned out to be to force the enemy back, not to annihilate them completely...... Cao Bao felt that his request was not too much at all, even if it was the heavens who used everything as a dog, he would have some mercy.
However, the cruel and cold reality shattered his humble hopes. Once again, Lao Tzu's famous saying - heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!
The victor of the war is never the side worthy of sympathy, but the side that is more prepared, better at seizing opportunities, and stronger!
And he, Cao Bao, has nothing to do with all conditions!
Just when he wanted to explain his actions more, he didn't notice that Wang Yu was behind him. The battle flag, which has been standing as a mountain, is flying against the wind, drawing a beautiful and complicated trajectory in the wind! He also didn't notice the extent of the tremor on the ground after the flag was issued. It's much stronger than before, as if there were twice as many cavalry galloping in the distance!
Of course, with his wisdom, even if he notices, he may not care too much. When it comes to this, what other variables can there be? Wang Yu is strong, stronger than the legend. But he is still a person after all, he will be injured and exhausted, and he can't really overturn tens of thousands of elite monsters alone. 10,000 enemies. After all, it's just a description.
As long as you are a human being, you can't sprinkle beans into a soldier's spell, and you can't turn the table, since that's the case. What else is there to worry about? Besides, Que Xuan should be almost there...... Isn't it?
The result of careless attention to detail. It's the horror of the sudden change!
Mutations occur on flank battlefields.
In fact, the details that Cao Bao ignored have been noticed by many generals and colonels on the front line. But Zhao Yun's light horse ran too fast, stirring up the smoke and dust in the sky back and forth, as if it was a heavy fog, and he couldn't see his five fingers, even if the strong afternoon sun shone in, he could only shine some shadowy black shadows, and no one knew what was going on inside.
The generals and colonels in Danyang are very experienced, if they can see clearly, the rich experience will work, form a tacit understanding, there is no need for the commander to command, and the battle is also orderly. But you can't see clearly, you can only guess, and when you guess, the tacit understanding is gone, and you become different.
In fact, in the process of resisting the light cavalry, some generals tried to leave the position and counterattack and drive the light cavalry away. It's just that not many people think like this, and they are stopped by more experienced veterans.
The impact of the light cavalry is not as good as the heavy cavalry, but Zhao Yun's cavalry is not a pure light cavalry, and the wind cavalry equipped with paper armor is actually between the light cavalry and the iron cavalry, perhaps it is most accurate to describe it as 'medium armor'.
This cavalry is not without the ability to attack fortifications at all, if the Danyang soldiers are in a chaotic formation, maybe the enemy will grasp the fighters, relying on speed and strong impact power, and defeat the soldiers and horses on the flanks in one fell swoop.
On the issue of whether or not to fight back, we can rely on tacit agreement to reach an agreement, but now we have our own opinions on these details. Some of these insights are straightforward, some are logically complex, and some are ambiguous.
If an army goes its own way, no matter how strong its combat effectiveness is, it will not be able to give full play to it, and it needs unified command from its generals. And the main responsibility of a general who commands thousands of troops is to grasp these details, make wise judgments, and convey them to everyone, not just fighting.
Now, Cao Baojun has encountered this problem, and some people in the army are already aware of the crisis, but they can't convey their opinions to others. Even if they can try to inform Cao Bao and then let the latter convey it, but the process is too cumbersome, first to persuade Cao Bao, and then let Cao Bao persuade others, after a few twists and turns, how can it be enough without half an hour?
And on the battlefield, fighters are often fleeting!
Predicted or ignorant, the Danyang soldiers finally faced the same fate.
In the man-made dense fog, some shadowy black shadows suddenly turned from faint to thick, and gradually, the clear silhouette of the people and horses revealed smoke and dust! Not a light cavalry galloping horizontally, but an ironclad cavalry that rushes straight ahead!
They carried a horse-mounted spear in their hands, a thick-backed machete behind them, and all of them were heavily armoured - this time it was not paper armor painted and impersonated, but a genuine black iron heavy armor!
In the sunlight, the darkiron glowed with a dark glow, a luster that only metal can emit......
As if the armored horsemen had been killed from hell, the iron horsemen came out of the fog one after another, and they formed a dense queue, walking in a neat and determined step...... Behind him was a boundless cloud of smoke and dust, under his feet was solid earth, and in front of him were three thousand elite foot soldiers who had fallen into a slight chaos......
It's like a moving mountain, like a moving wall, and more like a raging fire that sweeps across the field!
With unstoppable momentum, it seems to be slow and fast to rush forward!
The silver bottle burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with knives and guns!
The distance of fifty steps was fleeting in the blink of an eye, and Cao Bao and Danyang Bing only had time to see the purple-faced strong man led by him put down his armor, holding a riding spear in each hand, and let out a roar that shook the four wilds, and the iron cavalry had already stepped into the formation, trampling the seemingly indestructible defensive formation!
Along the passage let out by Zhao Yun, there was a relatively weak defense of the Danyang soldiers, and at a distance of thirty paces, there were only two horses that were close to each other. Wei Yan took the lead, and he ran towards these two refusal horses.
"Step into battle!" Let the arrows launched by Cao Baojun in a hurry clank on the iron armor, and then fall into the dust, Wei Yan roared, handed over his two spears, and accurately picked two rejection horses, both arms exerted force at the same time, and in the roar, two behemoths weighing more than 100 catties were provoked by him at the same time, and smashed into the Danyang soldiers' formation like sandbags!
"Boom!" The military array was smashed into a gap by his unreasonable attack, and the two rejected horses were like meteorites outside the sky, roaring and smashing out two bloody roads, along the way, people turned over on their backs, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the scene was extremely miserable.
"No return!" Without mercy, the iron cavalry behind Wei Yan let out an earth-shattering cheer, chanting the most concise and powerful battle cry, and they roared!
In order to reduce the damage, the Danyang soldiers adjusted their formation for a while, and they thought that the forward shield formation, horse rejection and armor were enough to withstand the impact of the light cavalry. No one expected that there was an iron cavalry lurking behind the light horse, killing them when they had already lost their vigilance, and launched a fatal blow.
The rock-solid rejection of the horse turned into a shooting star; The impregnable shield array was knocked down by the iron horse, trampled flat, and trampled flat; In the face of the impact of the iron cavalry, the armor soldiers only flew in the sky, helpless wailing, their resistance was weak and vain, the root could not accurately hit the target, but the enemy's Zhangba cavalry spear could always find them accurately, even if they dodged the stabbing of the cavalry spear, they could not avoid the impact and trampling that followed.
There are only these two words in the battle, which can best describe the majesty of the iron cavalry.
The lack of depth of the horse rejection array was broken in an instant, and the Danyang soldiers scattered into small groups were completely unable to resist such a force, although they fought to the death and did not retreat, but the flesh and blood could not resist the torrent of steel after all.
With the fierce momentum of burning the Eight Desolations, the Iron Cavalry penetrated deep into the enemy formation, penetrated the enemy formation, and swept through the enemy formation!
Wei Yan had already dropped his spear, holding a big knife in each hand, and slashed wantonly at the front of the team, people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha.
"Go up, go up!" Zhang Yu heard his voice crying, he couldn't help crying, Wei Yan's big sword was less than twenty zhang away from his big sword, and there was no one around him, and the soldiers had already been pushed to the frontal battlefield by Cao Bao and besieged Wang Yu.
His orders, only he could hear, but the Danyang soldiers were indeed adjusting, and in the mess behind the iron cavalry, there were shouts and orders one after another, and someone was trying to reorganize the remnants and form a dense formation again.
This is the world's sharpest Danyang soldier!
If it weren't for Wang Yu's carefully planned tactics, if it wasn't for the heroes of Qingzhou, and if it wasn't for the invincible Qingzhou army in the world, maybe they could really create miracles.
However, the fact is that under the command of a straw bale, they met the well-deserved number one general in the world!
And under the command of this famous general, there are many talents and heroes!
Those who tried to reassemble the array were doomed to futility, for, where the fierce fire had burned, the wind blew......
