Chapter 120: Cao Chun's Death (Ask for Subscription!) )
Resisting the iron cavalry charge with an infantry phalanx, no matter how dense the formation, its losses are bound to be heavy.
With a thousand Flame Army infantry almost breaking through the formation, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry finally stopped their pace, so that the remaining Tiger and Leopard Cavalry completely stopped, but the Flame Army infantry also paid an extremely heavy part, 1,000 casualties almost exceeded 700, all the spears were broken by the collision, and the shields were deformed and cracked.
The remaining six or seven hundred tiger and leopard cavalry did not have time to rejoice, and the cavalry of the Flame Army behind them chased after them under the leadership of Qin Feng, and the rain of arrows in the sky kept shooting, and the tiger and leopard cavalry that had lost their ability to maneuver completely became a live target.
The tiger and leopard cavalry tried desperately to urge their horses to run again, but after a long period of running with heavy loads, these horses were already exhausted, and they could still run, no matter how desperately the knights whipped, they never moved.
The war horses are tired and paralyzed, the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry can not stay in place and wait for death, under the leadership of Cao Chun, they give up the war horse and prepare to break through, this battle can not be fought, and then the whole army must be wiped out, and the fire must be reserved for the tiger and leopard horse, which is Cao Chun's only thought at this time.
He has no time to grieve and wail, his life has been his own life from time to time, and breaking out with men and horses at this moment is the greatest loyalty to Cao Cao.
But how could Qin Feng let him break through, he gave an order, and the cavalry of the Flame Army surrounded the hundreds of tiger and leopard knights who had given up their war horses and tried to break through, and they rode around these tiger and leopard knights one after another, running like a huge grinding disc, and when this grinding disc rotated, it shot sharp arrows one after another.
Wherever the knights of the tiger and leopard riders went, they moved, never allowing anyone to clash with the encirclement.
The tiger and leopard riders were shot down one by one until only the last person remained, Cao Chun.
"Surrender or die!" Qin Feng raised the Tiger Evil Three-Pointed Knife and pointed it at Cao Chun and shouted.
Cao Chun, who was covered in blood and had a cloak on his head, stared at Qin Feng with a war knife and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Flame Army Commander Qin Wuyi!"
"Hahaha······ Rebels and thieves! Cao Chun laughed out loud and rushed towards Qin Feng on foot with a knife.
"The accomplice of the Han thief Cao Apu, Eagle Claw, is also qualified to evaluate my Qin Wuyi, give me death!"
Qin Feng roared, slapped his horse and rushed towards Cao Chun, his hand rose and fell, and Cao Chun was cut into two pieces with his weapons.
On the right flank on the other side, Lü Meng used the same tactics to kill the remaining more than 1,500 tiger and leopard cavalry, but because of his grasp of the timing and unfamiliarity with tactics, his own losses were also very heavy.
Tiger and leopard ride, die before you get out of the division!
Before he could become famous, he disappeared.
Qin Feng was cleaning up the battlefield here, and Lu Meng had already sent someone over to report the results of the battle.
"General Qiyu, Captain Lu sent a villain to report the battle situation, and my right flank infantry suffered 600 casualties, of which 390 were killed and the rest were wounded; The cavalry suffered 400 casualties, of which 272 were killed and the rest were wounded! 1,500 enemies were annihilated, and not a single one escaped! ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but look gloomy after hearing this, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
Gu Cr
The casualties on the left and right flanks combined, the 2,000 infantry were disabled, less than 1,000 were still intact, while the 2,000 cavalry were as many as 600 killed, and the total number of wounded was more than 400, which were also disabled.
"Oh, Lao Tzu was originally watching the excitement, but I didn't expect to gnaw hard bones! it! Qin Feng couldn't help but scold angrily, where did he think that Xun Yu would hide this 3,500-person tiger and leopard ride somewhere outside Xudu City, and was not taken away by Cao Cao, he knew this, he wouldn't bring troops to join in the fun, he just came to see the fun!
Now it's okay, save money, and the 2,000 cavalry that you have managed to accumulate are crippled.
When he saw Xu Shu, Xu Shu smiled and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the general for annihilating the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao, after this battle, the general and the flame cavalry under his command will surely be famous all over the world!" ”
Qin Feng looked bitter, "Mr. Yuanzhi, if I could, I would rather not come to join in the fun, the battle was won, but I am a miserable victory in a miserable victory, both defeats and injuries, I didn't take advantage of the slightest advantage, but I was cheap Liu Da'er!" ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "General, that's not what you said!" The general annihilated 3,500 heavy armored iron cavalry with 2,000 light cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, but he could still maintain half of the combat power and number. In the future, the enemy army will be terrified when he sees the cavalry under the general's command, and most of the momentum has been lost before the battle, how can he still compete with the general? ”
"Besides, although Cao Cao's 3,500 tiger and leopard cavalry were completely annihilated, there were still nearly 2,000 high-grade war horses that survived, isn't this the general's harvest?"
In fact, it is not only the nearly 2,000 horses that can be used, but also a large amount of equipment and weapons left behind by the tiger and leopard knights, which only need to be repaired or reforged to come in handy.
When Xun Yu learned the news of the annihilation of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the whole person only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, he was determined and held on, but these 3,500 tiger and leopard rides were carefully built by Cao Cao with a lot of money and energy, and now they were easily cut off, how could he explain to Cao Cao?
In the evening, Liu Bei's army receded like a tide, and Xiahoudun, who was covered in blood, came to Shangshu Mansion.
"Xun Lingjun, what are you looking for me?"
Xun Yu sighed: "Tiger and leopard ride······ Gone! ”
"Gone? What does it mean to be gone? ”
"Gone is gone!" Xun Yu immediately said that the tiger and leopard cavalry was sent by him to sneak attack the enemy's two wings, "I wanted to give him a two-sided attack when Liu Bei's army was attacking the city at its most fierce, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, not only the tiger and leopard cavalry were gone, but I was afraid that General Cao Chun would also ······ Everything points to disaster! ”
The formation and training of the tiger and leopard cavalry was seen by Xiahoudun with his own eyes, and each of them could be qualified for a hundred generals, but he did not expect that such a strong iron cavalry would be completely wiped out in just one hour, which shocked him too much.
He asked, "Who is in command of this battle, and who is so capable?" ”
Xun Yu sighed: "If what I expected is correct, it should be Qin Feng, the commander of the Flame Army, according to the observation in the past few days, the attacking sergeants are all under Liu Bei, Qin Wuyi's Flame Army did not participate in the siege, but was only responsible for the perimeter guard and guard the two wings!" ”
"According to our sergeant who has seen the whole process, Qin Wuyi should have taken advantage of the inconvenience of the tiger and leopard rider to turn around, and the weakness of clumsiness and inflexibility to make the tiger and leopard rider fall into a desperate situation of losing speed and stagnating!"
Xiahoudun's voice trembled a little: "The existence of the tiger and leopard ride is a secret, outsiders have no way of knowing, and Qin Feng must not know it, but he actually discovered the weakness of the tiger and leopard ride in a very short period of time and used it to attack, such a person is too terrifying!" ”
