"Sikong, more than 1,000 people have gone to the mountain to support Zhang Xiu's flank."

Someone around Cao Cao said.

"See."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed ahead: "Let Shi Jian attack Zhang Xiu's left front." ”

"Yui."

Immediately, there was a herald to deliver the order.

Cao Cao's 30,000 high-level generals were mainly Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Yu Ban.

Then, according to their status, they were Lejin, Han Hao, Shi Lian, Zaoyi, Li Cheng and others, who belonged to middle and upper officers.

Then there is the pro-guard army, which is Dian Wei, Cao Chun, and Cao Xiu, and the rest of Cao Ang and Cao Anmin are regarded as entourage, and there is no specific job arrangement.

Now Dian Wei died in Wancheng, Cao Ren died in Xinye, Le Jin died in Nieyang, Yu Ban led the troops to detour, was repelled by Gan Ning, and was on the way to this side, Cao Hong commanded the attack on Zhang Xiu on the front line.

As for Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, Cao Chun is actually a civilian official, and his armed forces are not even third-rate, and later commanding the tiger and leopard to ride is okay, and letting him charge into battle at this time is tantamount to death.

Cao Xiu is too young, according to the bone age of Cao Xiu's tomb in later generations, he lived to be fifty years old, so he was born in 178 AD, and he just turned nineteen this year.

He is currently serving as Cao Cao's personal guard, and he is an ordinary soldier, not even a low-level officer, let alone killing the enemy on the battlefield.

So at this time, Cao Cao actually didn't have a good general, so he could only send Han Hao and Shi Jian to launch an attack from the flank, and the rest of Zaoyi, Li Cheng and others led their team.

However, even if he did not have any strong generals at hand, Cao Cao had no fear that the enemy would be able to defeat his troops.

Fierce generals are only part of the war, not the whole story.

Lu Bu is invincible in the world, and he doesn't see what climate he can become. Liu Bei has tens of thousands of enemies like Zhang, hasn't he been defeated repeatedly?

Therefore, compared with the fierce generals, Cao Cao is more concerned about the impromptu performance on the battlefield.

He at this time accurately found the enemy's weak point.

And Shen Chen at the top of the mountain also discovered Cao Cao's plan, but his battlefield experience is still too little, not to mention that he is a guest army, and he has no way to command Zhang Xiu in battle, so he can only see the moves.

Seeing that Cao Cao ordered Shi Jian to lead the troops again, Shen Chen immediately realized that something was wrong, and said to his father Shen Zhen: "Father, we also have to help." ”

"I'll just say it."

Shen Zhen also rode on horseback, clenched the steel knife in his hand and said, "There is no ambiguity about being a father. ”

Shen Chen Lema pointed to Zhang Xiu's left front and said, "We must support that place." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Shen Zhen picked up the whistle and blew it.

The surrounding five hundred soldiers immediately approached, well-trained, and under the leadership of Shen Zhen's father and son, they went down the mountain to support Zhang Xiu.

In fact, by this time, the arrows they carried were almost used.

The arrows were originally extremely special weapons, and the Huangmen Pavilion had used up all of his family funds after killing Cao Ren in the first battle, and the arrows that were replenished later were still obtained from Gan Ning.

Now that the arrows carried by the soldiers have run out, they can only choose to go down to hand-to-hand combat.

However, due to the distance, when I went to the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield was already white-hot.

In the distance, Cao Hong is fighting with Zhang Xiu, and Cao Hong is not among the twenty-four generals of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, but it does not mean that he is worse than some of the people inside.

There was also a feat of 50 rounds of hard and peak Ma Chao, and he fought 20 rounds with Gan Ning, and he was defeated.

may not be as good as Zhang Liao and Zhang He, but Fang Dongwu is also a man who can squeeze into the top five.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Xiu, who is the most watery among the twenty-four generals, is fighting fiercely, and the two sides have fought for dozens of rounds, and Zhang Xiu has been faintly defeated.

Although Zhang Xiu is on the list, he actually has no record of success, only because he led the army to kill Dian Wei Cao Ang and was included in the twenty-four generals, and his own strength is only a second-rate level, and it is still quite difficult to fight Cao Hong.

It's just that Zhang Xiu also knows that it has now reached the critical time of life and death, and he must come up with twelve points of ability to bring the situation back, so he also used his strength to fight Cao Hong.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the army led by Han Hao had already arrived at the right flank of the Xiliang Army, and at this time, the Xiliang Army had not made any adjustments at all, and hastily engaged Han Hao on the flank, and the formation was suddenly in chaos.

"Retreat, retreat."

"Hurry up and make up two men over there, the enemy is going to come in."

"Hold on, our reinforcements are coming."

Although the reaction and execution of the Xiliang Army were slow, the soldiers were extremely brave and bloody.

After all, these people were all soldiers who followed Zhang Ji from the Gu cultivation pot in Guanzhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are veterans of a hundred battles, so naturally it is impossible to collapse in one rush.

It's just that after all, due to his own formation problems, he was found to be flawed, and after a burst of killing, he was already losing and about to collapse.

Fortunately, Deng Zhaoshan arrived late and arrived at the juncture when the Xiliang army in Zhang Xiu's left rear was about to be defeated and helped them stabilize their position.

"Don't panic, don't panic, first steady, reinforcements are coming."

Deng Zhao rode on horseback, swung his knife left and right, and slashed down one Cao Jun with his back to him, the second knife was blocked by Cao Jun, and the other Cao Jun almost stabbed him off his horse.

The combat literacy and cooperation of the Cao soldiers still surprised him, but fortunately, the soldiers of Huangmenting also trained for two or three years, and they cooperated closely, and there were clansmen next to him to help block at the critical moment, so that he was saved from sacrifice.

After cooperating with more than a dozen clan relatives around him to kill five Cao soldiers and clear the area, Deng Zhao rode on horseback and shouted: "The Cao army is defeated, the Cao army is defeated, everyone shouts together." ”

"The Cao army is defeated, the Cao army is defeated, the Cao army is defeated."

At first, more than a dozen people around him shouted, and then it spread out, becoming dozens of people shouting, and finally all the 1,000 people in Huangmen Pavilion began to shout loudly.

In fact, there are countless chaotic sounds on the battlefield, shouting and killing, screaming, screaming, wailing, and all kinds of sword collisions, and even the sound of river waves and wind in the distance can affect people's senses.

So in fact, unless they encounter a loud voice like Zhang Fei, it is very difficult for ordinary generals to raise the morale of the soldiers by shouting.

But if a large number of people shout together, the sound will be gathered and the attention of the enemy and our soldiers will be distracted.

So when the phrase "Cao's army was defeated" resounded throughout the battlefield, although it did not disturb Cao's army's morale, it temporarily stabilized the Xiliang army, which was close to collapse.

Many of the Xiliang Army, which was originally retreating, began to turn around and come back to continue to participate in the war.

For a time, the position of the Xiliang Army was also stabilized.

It's just that Cao's army was not affected at all, and while shouting "Zhang Xiu is defeated", he continued to launch a fierce attack on the Xiliang army on the flank, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The reason why both sides have to shout at each other that the other is defeated is mainly from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is the best way to boost morale.

Later, in order to prevent this from happening, the so-called main general Daxu (dao) appeared.

Once the other party shouts that the enemy is defeated, the soldiers will instinctively take a look at Da Xu, and Da Xu is still there, which proves that the main general is still there, and the army's spirit will not be shaken and continue to fight.

But there are also negative teaching materials.

In the battle of Weishui, Fu Jian planned to retreat a little, and when the Jin troops crossed the river, he would take advantage of the situation to attack halfway.

As a result, Zhu Xu shouted, "The Qin army is defeated."

Because Fu Jian's troops were too large and too bloated, a large number of soldiers could not see where Daxu was, and the two sides had not yet fought each other, and the Jin soldiers shouted "The Qin army is defeated".

So the Qin army in front thought that it was really defeated, and ran backwards one after another, and the Qin army behind didn't know what was going on, and continued to march forward.

In this way, the front and rear armies collided and squeezed each other, and suddenly it became a large-scale stampede accident, hundreds of thousands of people together, more lively than a big star concert, once panicked, fear of person-to-person transmission, it was a disaster.

Then Fu Jian lost to the Jin army in such a daze.

Therefore, fighting on both sides and shouting at each other's defeat is also a traditional art in the history of thousands of years of war in China.

It's just that Deng Zhao did this to boost the morale of the Xiliang Army, which was already close to collapse, and Han Hao did this to defeat the military spirit of the Xiliang Army.

The only pity is that this battle lacks Guan Yu.

Otherwise, Guan Yu rushed in and chopped Han Hao first, and as soon as the main general Daxu fell, the Cao soldiers would definitely be defeated and retreat when they saw it. Just like Yan Liang in the Battle of the White Horse, as soon as Yan Liang died, the Yuan army, which was originally superior in numbers, collapsed instantly.

And just when Han Hao led his troops to attack the left rear formation of the Xiliang Army, and was rushed to the difficult rescue scene by Deng Zhao in time to save it, Shi Jian over there also began to lead his troops and horses to attack Zhang Xiu's left front army formation.

In fact, there are no flaws here, but Cao Cao's temporary command is much stronger than the half-hung Shen Chen, and he does this not to break through the Xiliang Army, but to shake the entire formation of the Xiliang Army from the side.

Among the thirty-six strategies, there is a trick called fighting grass and scaring snakes, and there is also an idiom called throwing stones to ask for directions in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Liberation War of our country, such tactical play is not uncommon, countless.

Cao Cao asked Han Hao to attack the flanks of the Western Liang army, which had already revealed flaws, even if the Western Liang army barely resisted, it could only be regarded as a hard support. Immediately afterwards, he sent Shi Jian to attack Zhang Xiu's other side, which was bound to put great pressure on the side.

As a result, Zhang Xiu's front was blocked by Cao Hong, and the left front and left rear of the flank were caught in battle, and the entire formation had been seriously chaotic from the left end, even if Shen Chen was fighting fires everywhere, he was exhausted.

Soon when Shi Jian fought fiercely with the left front flank of the Xiliang army, the reinforcements led by Shen Zhen and Shen Chen's father and son had already arrived in the rear, Shen Chen originally wanted to support Zhang Xiu's front army, but suddenly realized that if he went, then he would fall into a very passive situation.

was led by Cao Cao's nose.

So he simply didn't go to support the front army, but joined Deng Zhao and launched a fierce attack in the direction of Han Hao's Daxu together.

In fact, the number of soldiers and horses led by Han Hao is not large, and after the Xiliang army stabilizes its position, coupled with Deng Zhao's support, their numbers have fallen into a disadvantage, and they can only fight into a stalemate situation at present, and they can not advance an inch.

As soon as Shen Chen's father and son arrived, they posed a serious threat to his rear commander, Daxu, and he had no choice but to retreat a little temporarily.

The rear crisis is considered to be relieved in a short time.

Cao Cao stood on a high slope on the bank of the river in the distance, saw this scene from afar, and sneered: "It's a smart choice, but that's all, let the jujube come over." ”

The herald immediately went to find Zao.

Zao is only in front of Cao Jun on the left and Zhang Xiujun on the right.

Summoned by Cao Cao, he immediately drove his horse over.

"Sikong."

"You lead the people of the headquarters and immediately attack Zhang Xiu's right army."

"Yui."

Jujube only took the order and left.

Cao Cao scanned the entire battlefield, now Zhang Xiu's army has been fully mobilized by him, there are flaws everywhere, and when Zaoyi began to attack the opponent's right army in the distance, he raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

"Knock knock!"

The thunderous sound of war drums sounded, and all the Cao troops began to charge Zhang Xiu.
