Chapter 546: Come and don't be rude
The collision between Guan Hai and Xiahou Yuan was direct and fierce, the two sides didn't say a word, and it was a fatal move, as if they had agreed in advance, they didn't use the ultimate, but at the same time used a plain and concise middle level robbery, accelerating and collapsing! Interlace!
'Ding! 呲~/
The two steel guns do not show weakness, the two sides are almost the same in strength and speed, Guan Hai's advantage is that he is fierce, and it is completely a life-for-life style of play, and Xiahou Yuan has no longer cherished face excessively since he was hit in the face by Taishi Zhaorong for injuries last time, but after all, he still doesn't have that kind of mentality, so he is a step behind in the word 'ruthless', compared with the two, one can be ruthless, but also ruthless to himself! The other can only be ruthless, obviously still falling behind!
However, Xiahou Yuan also has his own advantages, that is, the foundation is quite solid, so he is almost instinctive in terms of strain speed, and he also has a thorough understanding of martial arts, so he reacts a little faster on the spot!
At the last moment, Xiahou Yuan blocked Guan Hai's sacrificial blow, but he also missed the opportunity to hurt his opponent!
Guan Hai grinned slightly, remembering that when he was training in Youzhou, Fang Zhiwen said that when the two strong meet, the brave wins! This is definitely not an empty talk to boost morale, but a real experience, fighting for life on the battlefield, often the one who is afraid of death will die, and the one who is not afraid of death can live to the end.
'Whew! Whew~'
The two staggered, almost simultaneously sweeping hard, trying to attack the opponent's side back in the staggered moment.
'Whew/
The two guns collided, and this time it was a real clash of power and speed. Both of them tilted their upper bodies in reverse, and they seemed to be evenly divided!
Guan Hai used the force of the spear to rebound, reversed the force, and his body also rotated with the spear, turning from the right side to the left, and then continued to spin, taking advantage of the situation to shoot the spear in his hand. Went straight to Xiahou Yuan's back.
'Hiss/
'Bang/
It's a good Xiahou Yuan, I saw him release the spear with his right hand, raise his arm and turn to the right. With his small arm, he directly and accurately hit the side of the spear, and knocked a heavy steel spear into the air at once, and flew down with a whirl. It stabbed into the back of one of the Yellow Turban cavalrymen with a thud, then pierced directly through the horse's belly, pinning the men and horses together, and ran out for a while before crashing to the ground.
And at this time, Guan Hai had already taken out another spear, swayed his ultimate, and smashed into the depths of Xiahou Yuan's cavalry array, Xiahou Yuan glanced back regretfully, and turned around with a somewhat numb arm, ruthlessly killing the Yellow Turban cavalry in front of him!
Cavalry hedging is an extremely cruel tactic of warfare. And because the speed of the cavalry is too fast, even the low-level generals with strong ability can hardly guarantee that they can save their lives in the process of cavalry hedging, you know, in the whole process of charging the formation. You're not facing one enemy, but a series of enemies, and by the time you finish off one, another enemy may have come your way, brandishing the spear in your hand and heading it straight for your chest.
The two sides passed through the formation, and Xiahou Yuan glanced back at his troops. Look at the opponent's troops, as well as the mutilated corpses that fell on the battlefield between the two sides, which were all trampled by the war horses, and some of the war horses and soldiers who had not died were letting out a miserable wail!
What made Xiahou Yuan even more angry was that Guan Hai actually went straight to the main city without looking back, obviously not preparing to fight again.
Guan Hai was naturally secretly happy, in the short confrontation just now, Guan Hai took advantage of the sudden change of formation to abolish the attack method of Xiahou Yuan's troops throwing spears, and the result of the temporary change of formation made Xiahou Yuan's troops slightly backward in speed and battle formation, so the miscellaneous troops led by Guan Hai successfully destroyed half of Xiahou Yuan's cavalry troops with a battle loss of nearly one to one, although his own cavalry troops also lost half, but calculating the gains and losses, it was definitely Xiahou Yuan's losses that were greater.
Therefore, Guan Hai is very satisfied, of course, what is even more satisfied is that Xiahou Yuan is just like this, if it is one-on-one, Guan Hai will definitely not be stunned by Xiahou Yuan, and even Guan Hai feels that his chances of victory are quite large, if nothing else, just because Xiahou Yuan lacks the will to sacrifice his life.
Guan Hai triumphantly led the cavalry towards the main city as if he had returned home victorious, but Xiahou Yuan did not dare to pursue, and the long-range strike force of the main city was afraid that they were waiting to pursue him at this time!
Xiahou Yuan gathered his troops and ordered some of them to go on guard and the other part to clean up the battlefield that had just been engaged, although he was relatively losing money in terms of personnel, but the power to clean up the battlefield was Xiahou Yuan's, and it was a kind of compensation to clean up these swords, guns and armor!
Cao Cao's location was not visible to Xiahou Yuan's troops, so Cao Cao did not see the short battle between him and Guan Hai, but he watched the whole process through the mouth of the intelligence officer, but for the final outcome, Cao Cao just smiled and did not say anything.
Cao Cao didn't seem to be dissatisfied, perhaps, he just hid his true thoughts.
Xiahoudun saw the whole process of the battle between the two sides from a distance, to be honest, there seems to be nothing wrong with both sides, if he really wants to find some mistakes, maybe Xiahouyuan put out a conical formation too early is a mistake, he should start with a phalanx, and then change the formation when the distance is right!
In addition, Guan Hai's cavalry command ability and combat ability made Xiahoudun very surprised, unexpectedly, he encountered an evenly matched opponent here, if Guan Hai's subordinates were also those elite Youzhou Assault cavalry under Fang Zhiwen's hands, Xiahoudun believed that Xiahouyuan would definitely be defeated this time!
From this point of view, Cao Cao's attack on Linqu adopts a steady and conservative strategy, which is definitely a far-sighted behavior, if there is no adequate preparation on the logistics line, with the cavalry command ability of this Guan Hai, he will definitely be able to completely defeat the logistics line of his own troops, thinking of this, Xiahoudun is more convinced of Cao Cao's ability!
At the same time, his attitude towards the enemy army is also more serious and cautious, especially the main general Guan Hai in the main city! I really don't know, are there other strong generals in Linqu City?
On the first day of the tentative attack, just after the outbreak of a short and brutal cavalry hedge between the two sides, the curtain slowly came to an end. p > the official battle ended, both sides released the cavalry of the aliens, harassing and attacking each other, Cao Cao's purpose was to return to the camp with peace of mind, and Guan Hai's purpose was not to want Cao Cao to return to the camp with peace of mind, but the strength of the two camps was evenly matched, and there was no result.
Cao Cao knew that he would not be alive tonight! After the fierce battle during the day, the main force of the enemy army in Linqu City has not moved, and tonight it will inevitably come with full energy to sneak attack, even if there is no actual result, just harassment is also a tactic.
So after returning to the camp, Cao Cao immediately began to arrange tonight's defense and counterattack plan, the most important thing is, of course, to repel Hou and reconnaissance cavalry, as well as to set up light and dark posts at high points, and the camp also arranged for troops to take turns on duty, and the cavalry was a sharp weapon for counterattacking at night, so he arranged for the Xiahou brothers to go to rest after dinner early, waiting for the counterattack in the second half of the night.
It's a pity that Cao Cao guessed the first half, but didn't guess the second half, the night attack came as scheduled, but the person who carried out the night attack was enough to make Cao Cao hide in the handsome tent and curse angrily!
At the third watch, the scouts on the periphery of Cao Cao's camp first sounded the alarm, but after a while, the light and dark sentinels on the surrounding heights were also cleared, and the speed of the enemy army was very fast, obviously the cavalry did it, but from the sound of hooves, it seemed that the horse's hooves were wrapped in felt, and the sound was very light, and when Cao Cao's camp was ready for defense, and the cavalry was also lined up to prepare for a counterattack, the low sound of the enemy's cavalry's horse hooves seemed to suddenly disappear.
Just when Cao Junhu in the camp was suspicious, a low 'hiss' sound suddenly sounded in the night, as if it was the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, but the experienced Xiahou Yuan knew that this was the sound of crossbow arrows flying, and he himself had been attacked several times by this kind of attack!
"Enemy attack! Raise your shield to defend against arrows! Raise a shield against arrows 1
But it's too late, the black heavy crossbow arrows that fell from the dark night have already arrived in front of the gathered cavalry, and the powerful killing has surprised the Xiahou brothers, but it's not surprising to think about it, if the commander is Guan Hai, this level of killing is reasonable, not to mention, now Cao Cao has not participated in the battle, so the bonus of these cavalry is lower than during the day, the question is, Guan Hai got the heavy crossbowmen here, isn't he going to bring these heavy crossbowmen back?
"Open the camp gates! Cavalry strikes! Fast 1
Xiahoudun almost did not hesitate to give the order to attack, there is only one way to deal with the heavy crossbow, that is, to rush head-on, rush into their camp, and then slaughter and be slaughtered in one direction!
However, when the cavalry of the Xiahou brothers rushed out of the camp, they were greeted by waves of heavy crossbow attacks, obviously the other party adopted the method of round shooting, but this range is inevitably a little too far, can it be that he or his subordinates, as well as this kind of crossbow soldiers, can actually extend the range of the heavy crossbow to more than three hundred steps?
When the Xiahou brothers gritted their teeth and rushed to the point that they were only more than a hundred steps away from the other party and could barely see the other party's figure clearly, those enemy soldiers suddenly turned around and got on the war horses, and then ran away! Before leaving, he didn't forget to shoot the crossbow arrow in his hand, which brought another casualty to the cavalry of the Xiahou brothers!
"Accelerate, accelerate! Pursuit 1 Xiahou Yuan shouted almost frantically, this kind of enemy who can only be beaten passively and run away is too hateful, and besides, this class of troops Xiahou brothers is very familiar with, this is Fang Zhiwen's heavy crossbow dragoon, except for him, I have never seen other forces have such a deformed type of troops.
'Whoa! Whoop! Hiss/
What answered Xiahou Yuan was three arrows flying rapidly in a row, the faint white light on the arrows was so familiar, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly reined in his war horse, and carefully pushed these arrows away with a spear and arm shield.
A voice that was very familiar to both of them came from afar in the darkness: "Send a message to your master for me, just say, 'Come and don't be rude', besides, let him rest assured, only this once!" Haha "RQ! ~!
