Chapter 676: Fighting

"General, I don't agree with this resolution, as the general said, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and tens of thousands of people, has the general ever thought about what the people in the city will do if our army is defeated? What about the people in other counties and villages? Cheng Yi said excitedly, as a veteran general who has followed Jia Rong for many years, he still has a certain right to speak in the army, although his position as a battalion general is based on many years of hard work.

"General Cheng, the two armies have not yet fought, the number of victories and defeats is unknown, have you ever thought about it, if our army wins this battle, how much advantage will it get, on the Jingzhou battlefield, General Huang is attacking Jiangling, and the Cao army is the spiritual pillar of the Jingzhou army, once the Cao army collapses, their morale will definitely be affected, so that they will be cowardly before fighting." Zhao Yundao: "If you have an opposing opinion, General Ben will definitely not be reluctant." ”

Zhao Yun is a former general of the Liang Kingdom, and his position is extremely prominent among the military generals, and he has been trusted by Jia Rong for many years, and this alone is worthy of many generals to follow him.

Cheng Yi and three battalions were left behind in the city, and Zhao Yun led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, preparing to fight Cao Jun to the death.

The sky is cloudless, the scorching sun is in the sky, Cao Zhen is extremely excited, if the Xiliang army retreats in the city, they will become extremely difficult to attack Hanoi County, and they must always be careful to guard against reinforcements from Luoyang, but Zhao Yun chose to go out of the city for a decisive battle, the number of both sides is one to five, if this battle cannot be won, Cao Zhen will directly hit the wall of Hanoi County and die.

Guo Huai reminded: "Zhao Yun is a general trusted by Jia Rong, who has fought in all directions for many years, made great achievements, and served as a former general. ”

Cao Zhen instantly sobered up, the war depends not only on the number of soldiers, but also on the elite degree of soldiers and the level of morale, in terms of morale, Cao Jun obviously did not have the upper hand, the degree of elite is the same, the only advantage is that there are many people, one to five, or field battles.

"What does Mr. Liu mean?" Cao Zhen set his sights on Liu Ye.

"This is the best time to defeat the Western Liang Army, if Zhao Yun can be defeated, then Hanoi County is at your fingertips, and our army will also turn back from a disadvantage to an advantage when facing the Western Liang Army, after all, Luoyang is the capital division of Liangguo, as long as the soldiers are in Luoyang, Liangguo will definitely be shaken, and the general will become a famous general in the world." Liu Ye obviously supported this war, and if he failed, it was a big deal to go back and start all over again, and once he won, it would be of great significance.

Cao Zhen's troops reached 45,000.

The banner covered the sky and the sun, and Zhao Yun rode his horse with an indifferent expression and stood under the handsome banner, constantly listening to the latest news from the lookout soldiers.

"There are about 40,000 people, and it is Cao Zhen who fights, and it seems that Cao's army is preparing to finish the battle." Zhao Yun took off the telescope and said slowly.

"Order, Gao Shun's 800 heavy infantry will be the forerunner, and directly tear apart the opponent's camp for me, and beat me hard, so that Cao Jun can see the majesty of the soldiers of Liangguo." Zhao Yundao.

The heavy infantry quickly dispatched and soon came to the front of the battle formation, and in front of them there were crossbow carts, covered with cowhides, such a plain battle, the power of the ballista carts would be infinitely magnified, compared to siege warfare, it was many times stronger, and it was not a difficult thing to directly penetrate the three soldiers in armor.

The moment the heavy infantry appeared, Cao Zhen immediately sent soldiers in the same outfit to the front, the number of which was about 1,000 people, and the armor would wrap the whole body, which showed that Cao Cao's attack on Hanoi County had been planned for a long time.

The camps of the two sides are constantly advancing, especially with sharp weapons such as crossbow carts in their hands, and the Xiliang army is constantly advancing at a turtle speed.

Cao Jun's front camp suddenly dispersed, and a huge individual weapon appeared in front of the battle array.

Has entered the range of the crossbow car, the officer who commanded the crossbow car did not hesitate to give the order to attack, at the same time, among the Cao army, also shot the crossbow arrows that made the Xiliang army dumbfounded, the dense crossbow arrows continued to wreak havoc, the two camps continued to hear the painful wails of the soldiers, the heavy infantry in front of the brunt of the brunt, their elite armor, blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows, but the powerful impact from the crossbow arrows, but took them out of the distance, after standing up, found that the armor on the body, also dented, The soldier's face was also pale.

"Ballista?" Zhao Yun was shocked, his plan was to use the crossbow cart to defeat the opponent's forward drive, and then use the advantage of heavy infantry to step forward, it was easy to disintegrate the forward camp of the Cao army, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Under the crossbow arrows, the heavy infantry lost about 300 people, which was an unprecedented huge loss, Gao Shun, who was hidden among the soldiers, also trembled slightly at the corners of his mouth, clenched his fists, and gave an order, the heavy infantry completed the assembly at the fastest speed, and continued to kill the Cao army with neat steps.

The crossbow carts on both sides were damaged and could no longer be put into use again, and the current way of engagement became a hand-to-hand battle, and the time for the real test of the soldiers had come.

After countless drills, the heavy infantry had long been accustomed to Gao Shun's order having just been issued, and immediately made changes.

More than 400 heavy infantry, killed the vanguard of the Cao army, people turned on their horses, and the heavy infantry, which had already taken refuge under Cao Zhen's order, faced Gao Shun's heavy infantry.

Both sides are heavy infantry, even if Gao Shun's team cooperates seamlessly, it is a little difficult to kill a Cao army heavy infantry, and they are also wrapped in armor, understanding their respective disadvantages.

There was a surprising scene on the battlefield, but seeing Gao Shun's heavy infantry, when facing the Cao army's heavy infantry, he was not afraid of the enemy's stabbing knives and guns, and stepped forward directly, pounced the enemy to the ground, and there were heavy infantry in the back hurriedly came, skillfully peeling off the Cao army's armor, and then slaughtered.

A thousand cavalry appeared in Cao Jun's field of vision, which is also the most worrying factor for Cao Zhen, on the battlefield, the cavalry is the king of the situation, the infantry against the cavalry, there is an instinctive fear, and the Xiliang army is the most cavalry, Zhao Yun is the general in the army, and he must have it in his hands, before, Cao Zhen counted this into the battle.

Three thousand infantry appeared, they were not afraid of death, facing the cavalry, not seeking to kill the enemy, only to resist the enemy, Cao Zhen's order was very simple, even if it was to sacrifice all the soldiers, it was necessary to block the cavalry of the Xiliang army.

On Zhao Yun's side, there were only 2,000 soldiers, and the rest of the troops had all been put into the battlefield, even the female soldiers entered the battlefield after the cavalry.

The Cao army was numerous and well prepared, against the Xiliang army, it did not fall behind at all, there were infantry entangled with cavalry, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in the direction of the Cao army.

A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Zhen's mouth, until now, Cao Jun has firmly gained the upper hand, if there is no accident, the winner this time is Cao Jun.

"General, Zhao Yun still has two thousand soldiers by his side, and one thousand of them are cavalry, which should not be taken lightly." Guo Huai hurriedly reminded.

"Well, Zhao Yun has a back hand, how can our army not have it, the five hundred cavalry is prepared for him, the tiger and leopard cavalry is not inferior to the ordinary cavalry of the Xiliang Army, our army still has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it has not been dispatched, does Mr. think that the Xiliang Army will still have hope of victory?" Cao Zhen asked rhetorically.

From Zhao Yun's face, there was no trace of fear, it seemed that the war had developed to the current situation, and it was all expected, Cao Jun was not only as simple as a large number of people, but could be sent by Cao Cao to the battlefield in Hanoi County, how could it be an ordinary soldier.

On the city wall, Cheng Yi watched the battle outside the city nervously, the two thousand soldiers in the city were already waiting on the city wall, and the city gate was ready to open at any time, Zhao Yun was a red man in front of the saint, and he couldn't afford to lose.

Zhao Yu continued to command the female soldiers in his hands, these female soldiers still experienced too few wars, especially in this kind of large-scale battle, it was difficult to support their own soldiers, even after the order was issued, Zhao Yu could still find fear on their faces.

The drums of war were still rumbling, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not find a single deserter, the enemy was strong, and they were not afraid.

The same is true for generals, as Zhao Yun said, when they joined the army, they were ready to die on the battlefield, and it was not an honor for a general to die vigorously on the battlefield, and there would definitely be their deeds on the hero monument.

"Kill!" On the battlefield, there is a constant roar full of energy, and in the face of an enemy several times their size, they do not take any retreat, even if one step forward is death.

The tenacity of the Xiliang army exceeded Cao Zhen's expectations, I thought that when the situation was suppressed, the soldiers of the Xiliang army would flee, not only Cao Zhen, but all the princes ignored this, when they encountered the Xiliang army before, the war was always resolved quickly, whenever the Xiliang army gained an advantage, there would immediately be a situation where the enemy fled and then went out of control.

"General, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy casualties." Guo Huai worried.

"Order, let Le Jin lead 5,000 soldiers to completely defeat the Xiliang army."

"No."

The addition of 5,000 soldiers made the officers and men of the Xiliang Army feel unprecedented pressure, and many wounded soldiers, knowing that their survival was hopeless, directly pounced on the enemy's swords and guns with their injured bodies, winning opportunities for the robe, and there were constantly scenes of singing and crying.

These soldiers are commendable, and they defended the dignity of the Xiliang Army with their deaths.

Seeing that the Xiliang Army had been completely suppressed, Zhao Yun still didn't move, but the spear in his hand had already shown that his heart was not as stable as it seemed.

The Western Liang army once again showed their tenacious side to the Cao army, and if it was the team of any prince, in the face of such a battle, I am afraid that they would have fled directly.

Even the soldiers of the Cao army had to admire the Xiliang army in front of them, blocking the swords and guns with their flesh and blood, which they didn't dare to imagine, could it be that all the Xiliang army were all dead soldiers? Cao Zhenzhen was a little skeptical.
