Chapter 288: The Rider of the Carriage Rider is all torn apart
Hu Xiu and Cao Xiu knew each other, and they were still acquaintances.
Because Hu Xiu was originally a famous man who belonged to the Qian Pei area.
Qian Pei is the area where Cao Cao made his fortune, so all officials who are born in Qian Pei will naturally get close to Cao Cao.
When Hu Xiu was appointed by Cao Cao as the assassin of Jingzhou, Sima Yi once admonished Cao Cao that Hu Xiu was rude and should not be on the sidelines.
But because of Hu Xiu's background, Cao Cao chose to turn a blind eye to Sima Yi's admonition.
Although Cao Xiu did not have much affection for the scholars under the influence of Cao Cao, Cao Xiu, who knew Hu Xiu as a person, knew that Sima Yi's evaluation of Hu Xiu was right.
It is precisely because he understands Hu Xiu's character that Cao Xiu deliberately let Xu Chu stay still.
He is not a Cao clan relative with no combat experience like Cao Tai, he can be valued by Cao Cao as a vigorous training object, and his ability to command operations is of course different from ordinary people.
When Hu Xiu led two thousand light cavalry troops to rush towards him, Cao Xiu had already keenly grasped a fighter plane.
Sure enough, when Cao Xiu specially asked Xu Chu to stand still, and did not take any precautions on the surface, Hu Xiu's eyes flashed with joy in an instant.
After Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Hu Xiu and Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang thought that the Wei army was gone, so they led 2,000 light cavalry troops from Jingzhou to surrender.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the history of the assassin and the Taishou were both counted as ***.
The surrender of Hu Xiu and Fu Fang also caused a big political earthquake in the Central Plains that year.
Because of this kind of merit, and most of the 2,000 light cavalry were Hu Xiu's old troops, after Hu Xiu surrendered to Guan Yu, Guan Yu still let him control the 2,000 light cavalry.
And after Hu Xiu surrendered to Guan Yu, Hu Xiu, as a general, always wanted to lead the two thousand light cavalry in his hands to establish his military exploits, so that he could gain the rank of advancement in the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that Hu Xiu has been waiting for today's opportunity for a long time.
Hu Xiu, who was earnest and had a rough personality, saw that Cao Xiu did not make any precautions for the arrival of the two thousand light cavalry army he led, so he hurriedly urged the two thousand light cavalry army behind him to continue to move forward.
Originally, the light cavalry should have been mainly engaged in long-range attacks, but at this time, Hu Xiu had already been blinded by the "good situation" in front of him.
This is undoubtedly a big taboo in a big war.
Hu Xiu led the 2,000 light cavalry behind him to give up the plan to attack the Wei army from afar, and he continued to lead the 2,000 light cavalry army to approach Cao Xiu's infantry formation.
Hu Xiu's side was constantly approaching, and the 20,000 Wei troops led by Cao Xiu were also moving forward.
As a result, the vanguard of the 2,000 light cavalry led by Hu Xiu soon approached the front of the Wei army's infantry formation.
Although the light cavalry could not rush into the military formation as hard as the mounted cavalry, the effect of attacking with arrows would undoubtedly be stronger if it was close to the distance.
Just when Hu Xiu ordered the light cavalry that was already very close to the Wei army's phalanx to release arrows, Cao Xiu adopted a diametrically opposite approach to Zhang Fei.
Cao Xiu, who had a very human-like keen sense of smell about the battlefield situation, immediately issued an order to the 20,000-step military array behind him.
In the corresponding command system of the infantry army, this command has a technical term - assault.
A dash is when an infantry army, which was originally marching at a normal pace, suddenly increases greatly overall. ….
Each infantry drove the entire phalanx forward suddenly at its own speed to achieve a surprise effect.
Although a breakthrough is a possible means of commanding an infantry army, in normal times, not many generals can make such a move among the soldiers under their command.
Because in order to make a breakthrough move in the military formation, in addition to the general commanding must have a very keen judgment of the current situation, it is also necessary that the soldiers he leads are well-trained elite divisions.
Rushing forward is a risky move to speed up the original marching rhythm, and this is undoubtedly a great test for the tight formation of the infantry army.
It's just that when it comes to the current 20,000 Wei army array, their main general Cao Xiu is naturally not a mediocre person, and the 20,000 Wei army itself is well-trained
's elite division.
Their predecessor was Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north and the Central Plains heroic soldiers.
Many people remember the advantages of Cao Wei's cavalry, but no matter how sharp Cao Wei's cavalry is, it can only be used in some fixed situations.
Only the brave infantry army is the foundation of Cao Cao's beginning, and it is also the greatest contributor to Cao Cao's ability to unify the north.
Otherwise, they would not have been sent by Zhang Liao as the front of the 70,000-strong army.
Therefore, when Cao Xiu's order was quickly conveyed to the 20,000 Wei troops by waving the order flag, the 20,000 Wei troops did not disappoint Cao Xiu.
After receiving Cao Xiu's instructions, they strode forward almost at the same time, as if making muscle memory.
It was a difficult move for the other soldiers, but for them they didn't know how many times before.
And the front line of the 20,000 Wei troops was lined up with banner-bearers armed with spears.
There are those who are light and good at walking, walking like galloping horses, gathered as a disciple, and called a person who holds the flag.
When thousands of banner-bearers of the Wei army suddenly rushed forward with spears in hand, Mo said that Hu Xiu did not expect this, even the thousands of cavalry troops who had approached the front of the Wei army did not expect this.
Although Hu Xiu's light cavalry army was running at the front, they had already seen the movements of the Wei army.
But the horses under their crotches were running at high speed, and even if they wanted to retreat, it was too late.
As a result, just when Hu Xiu's side was caught off guard, the tips of the thousands of spears in front of the Wei army's phalanx had already stabbed many of Hu Xiu's light cavalry off their horses.
And when this scene happened, with the wailing of his own soldiers, the hearts of the light cavalry army under Hu Xiu's command, which was now less than 2,000, began to waver.
Originally, Hu Xiu wanted to let the light cavalry under his command get closer before releasing arrows, but he didn't expect that the Wei army he thought was not reacting, and it was just Cao Xiu's trick to lure the enemy.
No matter how rough Hu Xiu was, he also realized at this time that the military spirit of the cavalry under his command had been shaken.
Looking at the Wei army formation that was getting closer and closer, Hu Xiu had already retreated in his heart after a momentary setback.
So Hu Xiu immediately gave the order to retreat.
It's just that the randomness of the attack just now has made it difficult for Hu Xiu's light cavalry to retreat.
After Hu Xiu's order to retreat was issued, many light cavalry soldiers looked at the Wei army approaching quickly with spears in their backs, and their hearts were already afraid. ….
So they were retreating, and the formation began to become chaotic.
What's worse is that they came out of the Han army formation, so the retreat will naturally run back to the Han army formation.
However, at this time, the Han army formation not far behind them was also moving forward.
Seeing thousands of Hu Xiu's light cavalry troops starting to run back in a panic, Cao Xiu realized that his opportunity had come.
Cao Xiu immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead 3,000 light cavalry to attack again.
And this time, Cao Xiu ordered Xu Chu to attack again, in order to drive the Hu Xiu light cavalry army in front in the rear.
As long as they can't keep the formation and rush into the Han army formation, then the Han army formation will definitely be disrupted.
At that time, the defeat of the Han army by the Wei army was a sure thing.
Similar wars have happened many times in history.
Just like in history, Xu Huang was able to repel Guan Yu and relieve the siege of Fancheng, there is a very important reason.
Unpredictable, action-oriented, turning disasters into blessings, winning in danger, this is called a wise general, and Cao Xiu is also a genus.
It's just that Guan Yu in history is almost alone, but now his good brother Zhang Feike is in the army.
Under the command of Cao Xiu, Xu Chu led an army of 3,000 light cavalry to quickly assemble from the flank, and then pursued all the way behind the defeated light cavalry led by Hu Xiu.
Under the pursuit of the light cavalry led by Xu Chu, the formation of Hu Xiu's light cavalry army, which was fleeing back to his own military formation, became more and more chaotic.
At this time, the Han army array, led by Zhang Fei, had already arrived not far away.
And this scene that is currently happening in the battlefield of the two former armies,
It is being noticed by a senior general of the two armies.
Compared with the joy of the Wei army, most of the generals of the Han army were flustered.
They all know what Cao Xiu wants to do.
It's just that among the Han army, there are two people who don't have panicked on their faces, and that is Guan Yu and Mi Yang.
The reason why Guan Yu and Mi Yang behaved like this is very simple, that is, they trust Zhang Fei.
The real Zhang Fei is not the reckless and unwise general in the romance, and even the reckless general with no more than 10 intelligence in the Three Kingdoms game in later generations.
He is not only the enemy of 10,000 people, but also a general who can stabilize one side.
Zhang Fei did not disappoint Guan Yu and Mi Yang, as the chief general of the former army of the Han army, when he saw the scene in front of him, there was no panic on his face.
In the past few decades of following Liu Bei, Zhang Fei doesn't know how many times he has seen more thrilling scenes than this.
The current scene did not disturb his heart in the slightest.
In other words, such a scene is the real battlefield showdown.
It's changing in a flash, and no one can perfectly predict what will happen next.
It's just that he also knows that he can't let the enemy disrupt his formation.
At this time, as Xu Chu's cavalry and Hu Xiu's cavalry continued to approach, the Han army behind him began to slowly stir.
The 20,000 Han soldiers all looked at Zhang Fei's majestic back, and there was expectation in their eyes.
The 20,000 Han troops were all veterans, and of course they knew what would happen to them if they allowed the enemy to disrupt their formation.
So they all expect their chariot general to save the current situation for them. ….
Zhang Fei did not disappoint them.
When Hu Xiu's cavalry was about to impact his own army formation, Zhang Fei quickly jumped out with the black horse under his crotch.
At this time, Zhang Fei had already replaced the spear in his hand with a more lethal long knife.
After Zhang Fei came out of the Han army on horseback, he successively slashed several of Hu Xiu's light cavalry soldiers with his sword.
Under Zhang Fei's merciless bloody shock, Hu Xiu's light cavalry finally woke up from the panic.
Zhang Fei then ordered Hu Xiu's light cavalry to quickly disperse to both wings.
When Zhang Fei commanded, he used the long knife with blood in his hand.
Coupled with his angry eyes at the moment, Hu Xiu's thousands of light cavalry troops were suddenly frightened and quickly retreated towards the two wings.
And after most of Hu Xiu's light cavalry had just withdrawn, Xu Chu's light cavalry, which was closely following them, appeared a few steps in front of Zhang Fei.
At such a close distance, the bows and arrows of the Han army were no longer effective.
At this time, the military spirit of the Han army has not yet stabilized, if the light cavalry of the 3,000 Wei army begins to attack the Han army formation at this time, then the Han army's military formation will still be disturbed.
It's just that since Zhang Fei has stood up, he won't let this kind of thing happen.
Looking at the three thousand Wei army cavalry in front of him, a cruel smile appeared on Zhang Fei's face.
Zhang Fei held a long knife in his hand, standing in front of the Han army, and his mouth began to emit bursts of deafening fighting sounds:
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here, and he can be sent to death."
At this moment, Zhang Fei's beard and hair are all open, and the long tassels are flying, like a god general who descended from the sky.
And Zhang Fei's fighting sound is like the roar of a tiger in the mountains, full of strength and deterrence.
When Zhang Fei's fighting sound reached the ears of the Wei light cavalry in front of him, it caused a sharp pain in the ears of the Wei light cavalry.
After making a sound of fighting, Zhang Fei did not hesitate to ride his horse and rush into the vanguard of the light cavalry of the three thousand Wei army.
Looking at the enemy in front of him, Zhang Fei waved the long knife in his hand and slammed forward.
A cold light flashed, and the body of a Wei cavalry soldier was cut in two.
Regarding Zhang Fei's bravery, there is no too detailed record in the official history.
Because of the lack of historical materials, later generations can only knock on the side from the words in the history books.
But because of the lack of records, many people in later generations thought that Zhang Fei's force was exaggerated.
Even many people think that Zhang Fei is just an ordinary general, just a few enemies.
It's just that later generations don't know how jealous Zhang Fei's contemporaries are of Zhang Fei's bravery.
Cheng Yu: "Liu Bei has a heroic name, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all enemies, and the power must be used to protect me."
Guo Jia: "He has great talent and has won the hearts of the people. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are all enemies of 10,000 people."
Liu Ye: "Zhuge Liang is the prime minister in governance, and Guan Yu and Zhang Feiyong are the generals of the three armies."
Zhou Yu: "Liu Bei is a hero, and the generals of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not be used for a long time."
...
Even in the troubled times hundreds of years or even thousands of years later, there are many generals who regard Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as idols, and they spend their lives just to catch up with the bravery of Guan and Zhang.
How excessive is Zhang Fei's bravery, which can be recognized by many heroes in ancient times?
There is no specific record in the history books, but today's war will be fully presented, what is called the ancient ten thousand enemies!
When Zhang Fei rushed into the enemy's cavalry, in a moment, he had already killed more than a dozen people with his knife.
There are no wounded, only the dead.
It's not that there are no cavalry soldiers who don't want to come forward to stop Zhang Fei, it's just that whenever a cavalry surrounds him, the big knife in Zhang Fei's hand will be ruthlessly waved away.
More and more cold light flashed in the Wei cavalry, and more and more Wei cavalry fell off their horses.
Later, Zhang Fei probably felt that killing the enemy like this was not enough to relieve his anger, so he stopped keeping his hands.
Zhang Fei, who used all his strength, drove his war horse like a god general outside the sky to advance left and right in the cavalry of the Wei army.
Even Zhang Fei at this time did not even let go of the war horse under the crotch of the Wei army's cavalry.
Countless blood mist rose in front of Zhang Fei's body.
Riders are all in trouble!
And with Zhang Fei's continuous struggle, a large open space has gradually appeared in front of him.
The clearing was littered with stumps and severed arms.
It's cruel.
