Chapter 118: Riding on foot

The whole Hanoi County has become a large barracks for the duel between Gongsun Chan and Xu Rong, Xu Rong personally led a group of 5,000 elite people to secretly cross the water, went straight to Shanyang County, and killed Wang Kuang, as a result, Gongsun Chan's vanguard Liu Bei led his troops to Shanyang County that night, if Xu Rong was not alert and released the scouts out of a hundred miles, Liu Bei's 10,000 army would have besieged Xu Rong to death in Shanyang County. After Xu Rong killed Wang Kuang, he received the news that Liu Bei's army had arrived, and he turned around and ran without stopping. Liu Bei chased after Xu Rong until the north bank of the water. Xu Rong had already crossed the water under Dong Zhuojun's response on the south bank of the water.

Liu Bei had no choice but to defend on the spot and wait for Gongsun Zhan's army to come to join the division.

The next day, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses from Gongsun Chan's troops arrived, and Xu Rong made a posture of defending against the water and never letting Gongsun Chan cross the river. Gongsun Zhan stationed all the princes under his command in Shanyang, Chaoge, Jixian, and Xiuwu on the north bank of the water, looking for a ferry in a vain attempt to cross the water. It turned out that Xu Rong had already prepared on the south bank of the water, Huai County, Xishui County, Zhou County, Yewang, and the entire watershed of Hanoi County was defended by Xu Rong......

Gongsun Chan was a fierce man and ordered a full crossing of the river in Hanoi County to attack Xu Rong. Nearly 500,000 horses and horses of the two armies fought on the spot in Hanoi County, and it was really dark......

Although Gongsun Chan is a fierce man, Xu Rong is not a weak hand, and a piece of water is tightly guarded by him. It's still not that a small force was sent to attack Gongsun Chan at night. The two are evenly matched in Hanoi, but Xu Rong has fewer troops after all, and in this war of attrition on both sides of the river, anyone with a discerning eye knows that after a long time, Gongsun Zhan's advantage will appear......

Hanoi fought lively, but after all, it was a partial division, and the battlefield that decided the victory or defeat of Dong Zhuo and the Dong Alliance had to look at the battle of Xingyang County and Tiger Prison Pass......

The battle in Tiger Prison Pass has now entered the third round, and the first time Hua Xiong killed and injured a large number of allied infantry troops. He died because he failed to withdraw in time and was blocked in Songshan Road. It should be said that Dong Zhuojun and the Dong Alliance are equally divided, and no one has taken advantage.

The second round was the offensive and defensive battle of Tiger Prison Pass, in this battle, the coalition army paid 300,000 casualties but all players, while Dong Zhuojun lost 200,000 players, not to mention, NPCs also lost nearly 70,000 people. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's current NPC main force has suffered heavy losses.

Now the fireworks in the Tiger Prison Pass have been extinguished, and a good Xiongguan Pass has been destroyed by the flames. Needless to say, the houses in the pass were burned to ashes, and the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass withstood several days of fierce attack, and then it collapsed after being burned by the fire, and Xiongguan was burned to the ground, with no strategic value. Dong Zhuo simply gave up the Tiger Prison Pass and camped 100 miles outside the pass, intending to let the coalition army enter the pass and enter the plain, and use the advantage of cavalry to annihilate the coalition army in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shao was not a fool, he learned from the scout that Dong Zhuo had set up camp in Baili in Guanxi, and he thought of Dong Zhuo's sinister intentions. But now that the Tiger Prison Pass has been conquered, Luoyang is like a virgin with open arms, just waiting for him Yuan Benchu to enter, as long as Dong Zhuo is defeated, Yuan Shao can attack Luoyang, and most of the goal of this trip to fight Dong will be completed, how can Yuan Shao not be tempted. So Yuan Shao came up with a good idea to avoid being beaten by Dong Zhuo's cavalry as soon as the allied infantry showed up......

Cao Cao took 50,000 infantry as the vanguard to pass through the Tiger Prison Pass, out of the pass to form a formation, and the 50,000 infantry lined up in a dense fifteen-fold formation, forming five formations and slowly advancing towards Dong Zhuo's army......

As soon as Dong Zhuo received the news that the coalition army had entered the Tiger Prison Pass, he ordered Lu Bu to take 30,000 cavalry players out of the camp as the vanguard, as long as he saw the enemy coming out of the Tiger Prison Pass, he would rush up and trample them to death, but whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Dong Zhuo Lu Bu, they were very shrewd to use the players as the main force, and kept the NPCs with high loyalty and handy as reserves......

Cao Cao led the infantry out of the Tiger Prison Pass and moved towards Dong Zhuo's army. Lu Bu had already led his troops out of the camp and lined up 30 miles away from Cao Cao to rest and save horsepower.

Cao Cao's scouts were sent 30 li according to the custom of infantry marching to reconnoiter Lü Bu, and Lü Bu also saw Cao Cao's scouts. Since it was detected by Cao Cao's scouts, Lu Bu didn't say much, it was useless to hide it, and immediately ordered the whole cavalry to attack, and killed Cao Cao by surprise before Cao Cao's scouts returned......

For 30 miles, the infantry marched at a normal speed for a day, but the cavalry could arrive in only one hour, and they could also enter the battle immediately after arriving, so the cavalry was a well-deserved king in cold weapon combat.

Lü Bu's 30,000 cavalry followed Cao Cao's scouts before Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao was not surprised, this is what the coalition forces have long thought of, if Lu Bu's cavalry does not appear, there will be ghosts......

Cao Cao ordered the infantry to stop advancing and immediately enter combat mode. Lu Bu unceremoniously divided 30,000 cavalry soldiers into three echelons to storm Cao Cao's infantry phalanx.

Although Cao Cao was on guard, the cavalry had an innate advantage over the infantry, with a large formation of one against five and a small formation of one against three. The first formation of Cao Cao's 50,000 infantry was broken through by Lu Bu himself without snorting.

Lu Bu broke through Cao Cao's first formation of 10,000 people, only to feel that his blood was surging, and his spirit was uplifted, since he was defeated by Guan Zhao Mawen and several fierce generals, he finally regained his self-confidence......

"Hohoo!" Lu Bu got carried away and actually raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and shouted the slogan shouted by the Xianbei people in northern Xinjiang when they attacked.

It's a pity that the cavalry behind Lu Bu is not his Bingzhou cavalry, and the players looked at Lu Bu who was shouting foreign languages in confusion, and they didn't know what to do. Lu Bu saw that no one echoed his 'hoohoo!' I felt very bored and embarrassed, so I took my anger out on Cao Cao's second array. Lu Bu rode 10,000 horses to break through Cao Cao's first formation, that is, the kung fu of a stick of incense, and even Lu Bu's red rabbit horse did not even lose horse speed, so it came under the control of Lu Bu in Cao Cao's second formation......

As soon as Cao Cao saw that the enemy's 10,000 cavalry had broken through the first formation, and looking at the speed, it was estimated that the second formation would be finished, so he immediately sounded the trumpet and ordered the rout of the first formation to go to the rear formation from both flanks to rest......

After Cao Cao gave the order, he watched as the infantry in the first formation was chased and cut down by the cavalry before they died. Only about 2,000 people escaped with their lives under the leadership of Cao Ren and returned to the rear army to rest, while scolding Yuan Benchu for being black-hearted and allowing him to do such a dangerous thing......

Everyone in the coalition princes knew that being a vanguard would have to face the onslaught of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, so no one dared to be the vanguard, and in the end Yuan Shao could only be a general, which made Yuan Shao's eyes fall on Cao Cao with bad intentions......

Who asked Cao Cao to block Huaxiong's 30,000 cavalry? Cao Cao has experience! Yuan Shao nodded Cao Cao embarrassed to resign, and under the compliments of all the princes, Cao Cao also felt that he was the best candidate to be a pioneer, and as a result, he ended up with this great job......

Another stick of incense, Cao Cao speechlessly watched his second formation was broken by Lu Bu, this speed is much more fierce than Hua Xiong, but fortunately, Lu Bu's speed is finally gone, after they can break through the second formation, the second formation except for the infantry that has been mixed with the cavalry, the other infantry are running back under the leadership of Le Jin, Cao Cao counted the number of people and found that it was less than half. Let Le Jin lead the troops to the back to rest......

Lu Bu's 10,000 cavalry broke Cao Cao's two formations in a row, and there were more than 6,000 people left in the attrition, and the speed was close to zero, so Lu Bu took the cavalry to kill the second formation of zero marchers. ordered the vanguard cavalry to retreat to the main formation to rest, let the guards blow the trumpet, and Cheng Lian led the second formation of 10,000 cavalry to charge again......

Lu Bu and the guards did not retreat, they looked at Cao Cao's remaining large array with contempt from the position of the second formation.

Cheng Lian rushed with 10,000 cavalry with high morale, and Cao Cao knew why Lu Bu did not withdraw with the personal guard battalion, because Lu Bu's personal guard battalion was really a cavalry master......

"What a Lu Bu, he really deserves his reputation!" Cao Cao said enviously.

"Bingzhou is indeed a place where the Han produces elite soldiers, and Lu Bu's 500 personal guards are all elites, and they are at least masters at the level of 100 generals in the army." Xiahou Yuan, who was the same as Cao Cao, watched the enemy in a car, sighed.

"We have to have horses, and I will also build such a cavalry, and I have thought of the name and call it Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!" Cao Cao said with a smile, and after speaking, Cao Cao turned back and said a few words to the guards beside him, and the command flag of the Chinese army was displayed.

Cao Ren and Le Jin, who had retreated just now, immediately reorganized their soldiers and lined up again after Cao Cao's fifth formation. Cao Cao's frame was also moved from the fourth formation to the fifth formation......

Lu Bujun broke through Cao Cao's two formations in one go, and now Lu Bu has launched a second attack back to Lian, and the effect is obviously not as sharp as just now.

Lü Bu led his guards to shoot a gap in Cao Cao's third infantry formation with a rain of arrows, and then Lü Bu's cavalry for arrows swarmed in, and the third formation collided with Lü Bu's cavalry.

The cavalry relied on the speed of their horses to break through the first five layers of the third fifteen-heavy formation, and the cavalry on the horses dismounted one after another, regardless of the life or death of the horses, and the cavalry behind them crashed into the enemy again......

The third formation broke after half an hour, Lu Bu looked at the tired cavalry around him, and saw that the guard battalion was also a little tired after three consecutive battles, so he returned to the main formation with the cavalry, so that Cao Xing's department, which was already ready to attack, rushed again......

Cao Cao's first three formations were broken and suffered great losses, but only the first formation was almost completely annihilated, and the second and third formations lost a total of more than 10,000 people. The general of the third formation was Xiahoudun, who took the remnants of the third formation together with Cao Ren and Le Jin to form the sixth formation......

Although Cao Xing learned a subtle archery technique from Lu Bu, he is not Lu Bu after all, the commander of Cao Cao's fourth infantry is Li Dian, if you say that it is more stable, Li Dian is definitely the most stable general under Cao Cao. Li Dian only used 7,000 men in fifteen heavy formations, leaving 3,000 people as reserves. After figuring out the direction of Cao Xing's main attack, Li Dian ordered the 3,000 reserve team to form another fifteen-fold formation to make up for Cao Xing's attack direction. In this way, if Cao Xuan wants to break through Li Dian's formation, he has to penetrate the entire 30 infantry phalanx with spears and halberds, and the difficulty can be imagined.
