Chapter 45 is miserable
In just the blink of an eye, there were already nearly a thousand Cao troops, and before they could fight with Zhao Yun's army, they had been stabbed to death in the pit.
The remaining 5,000 Cao troops were in a chaotic formation, and they were blocked on the edge of the trench, pushing each other and unable to advance or retreat.
Looking at Cao Jun's chaotic appearance in front of him, a sneer slowly rose on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth.
"Yang Qiu, you really live up to your reputation in Xiliang, Yuan Zhi, these pits you dug overnight can make our General Zhang He miserable."
"Lord, you have won the prize, and there will be more exciting ones in the future."
Xu Shu and Hou Xuan glanced at each other, Hou Xuan nodded, and Hou Xuan's calm eyes showed a rare bit of arrogance, and shouted loudly.
"Beat the drums, crossbowmen ready!"
"Knock, knock, knock,"
In the military department of Zhao Yun's army, more than a dozen cowhide drums shook the sky and issued an order.
In front of the large array, the soldiers of the trapped camp standing in front immediately squatted down, and the crossbowmen in the back row, who were equipped with Zhuge Repeater crossbows made by Ma Jun, showed their figures.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,"
For a while, the arrows shot out like flying locusts, overwhelmingly rushing towards the vanguard of the Cao army, roaring away mercilessly.
Lines of blood flew up and splashed out, Cao Jun let out screams one after another, and piles of Cao Jun's arrows fell in a pool of blood.
And the crossbowmen under Zhao Yun's command on the side of the pit, after a volley, the crossbowmen behind continued to shoot, and the replaced crossbowmen loaded the arrow feathers that had been shot empty.
Suddenly, a rain of arrows rained, like a poisonous stinger, took away the life of a famous Cao Jun one after another.
At a distance of less than thirty paces, the high hit rate of the repeating crossbow was terrifying, and it was simply a one-sided massacre.
"This little thief is so insidious and cunning."
Zhang He's face, which had already regained his composure, suddenly became angry.
Xu Huang, who was on the side, was also shocked and said in a deep voice.
"General Junyi, I reminded you that this Zhao Yun's strength and resourcefulness should not be underestimated, we ......"
"Shut up!"
Zhang He scolded loudly, glared at Xu Huang with an angry face, and his heroic face regained his calm in a blink of an eye, and said coldly.
"It's just a conspiracy, send an order to General Wen Yuan, and let his vanguard form a fish scale shield array."
Zhang He's military order was passed down, the Chinese army's order flag was waved a few times, and the sound of war drums and horns also changed.
Zhang Liao, who was worried, heard the signal, and while swinging his knife to fly away a few sharp arrows, he turned his head and ordered Cao Jun, who was already in a mess.
"Everyone listen to the order, quickly restore the formation, and form a fish scale shield formation for Ben General."
Cao Jun was still an elite soldier in the end, and the chaos was quickly recovered, and the sword and shield soldiers in the front row quickly squatted down, raised their half-human high shields, and connected them one by one, standing in front of the team one after another.
The sword and shield soldiers in the back row raised the shield in their hands on the top of their heads, and cooperated with the sword and shield soldiers in front of them, forming a fish-scale-like wall to block the front of the formation.
In a moment, nearly 5,000 Cao Jun soldiers were all blocked in this shield array that looked like fish scales and looked impenetrable, even if Zhao Yun's crossbowmen were not far away, it was difficult to shoot through Cao Jun's shield array.
"Zhang He's fish scale shield array passed down from Yuan Shao is really extraordinary, no wonder Zhang He once defeated Gongsun Zhan's cavalry under Yuan Shao's command."
Looking at the invulnerable fish scale shield array, Zhao Yun was full of emotion for a while, and looked back at the candidate.
"Candidate, our repeater crossbow is useless, it's time for a bloody battle with Cao Jun."
In Hou Xuan's calm eyes, a fine light suddenly burst out, and he pointed at the horizontal knife and roared loudly.
"The lord has an order, and he will be killed with this! Where is the trapped camp? ”
Before the words fell, the candidate immediately crossed the knife and directly passed through a group of soldiers, rushing to kill in the direction of the pit.
"Beat the drums, raise the troops!" Zhao Yun raised the gentian bright silver spear and roared loudly.
In the formation of Zhao Yunjun, the sound of the war drums also changed.
When the trap camp and crossbowmen standing in front heard this, they hurriedly and quickly retreated, and the infantry soldiers who came up behind them quickly lifted dozens of prepared huge wooden planks from the dust under their feet, shouted loudly, and directly put them on top of the trap.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
A huge muffled sound fell, and the huge wooden board fell fiercely in the direction of Cao Jun, directly pressing Cao Jun's fish scale shield array with a trace of flaws, and some of Cao Jun's sword and shield soldiers fell to the ground.
Just when the huge wooden board smashed into Cao Jun's fish scale shield array, Hou Xuan had already led a group of soldiers from the trap camp to kill, and Hou Xuan rode through the wooden board in the middle and jumped directly over the pit.
The four hooves of the war horse under the crotch kicked hard, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, stepping on the shield and armor of the Cao army, and directly rolled into the Cao army.
Roaring, the long knife of the Hou player was thrown wildly like a grinding plate, and in an instant, the five Cao saber and shield soldiers in front of him, including the human shield, were all split
"Kill—"
The shouts of killing rose to the sky, and a group of soldiers in the camp, stepping on the wooden plank, followed behind the candidates, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, holding a giant shield and falling down directly to disperse the Cao army's fish scale shield array.
...
And so the fight began.
Although half of the 5,000 troops under Zhao Yun were recruits, the successive strategies of Xu Shu and Hou Xuan greatly boosted their morale and confidence, and the combat effectiveness of Zhao Yun's subordinates increased for a while.
On the other hand, the Cao army under Zhang Liao suffered heavy losses before the battle, although the strength was on par with Zhao Yun, but at this time the morale had lagged behind Zhao Yun a lot, and at this time the fish scale shield array was also broken, and the morale was even more plummeting.
Under the rise and fall, Cao Jun quickly fell behind, and was defeated and retreated by a group of Zhao Yun's soldiers led by the trapped camp, and he had already shown his defeat.
Zhang He, who was in the middle of the Cao army, the composure on his face was gone at this time, and the whole person was stunned by this scene
On that originally calm face, the previous arrogance and endless anger were dissipated in an instant by a series of strategic blows by Xu Shu and Hou Xuan under Zhao Yun.
Zhang He seemed to have been slapped hard, and his eyes were full of shock.
"Zhao Yun, this little thief, how could he be so resourceful, even my Cao Army's fish scale shield array was broken, how could he ......be like this?"
In shock, Zhang He's body actually trembled.
The generals and colonels of the Cao Army on the left and right were all shocked, and they were speechless one by one.
At the vanguard of the Cao army, the vanguard of the five thousand Cao army under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the originally neat formation soon fell into chaos again, and if it continued to hold on, it would inevitably be wiped out by Zhao Yun's subordinates.
