Thousands of war horses appeared at the end of the road like a tide, and Dai Ling let out a terrible cry.

The vanguard team hurriedly tried to set up a position on the plain on the left.

The road was narrow, and their right side was forested, so they could only run to the left, but the cavalry had already galloped and rushed into the crowd like arrows.

The cavalry can't rush into battle means that they can't rush into the formation that has been formed, but the Cao army is now scattered and there is no time to form a formation, so that the Han army can easily break through their formation like a chisel and kill into it.

"Kill!"

With this spring thunder-like explosion, Cao Jun heard the sound of galloping horses everywhere in front and back.

The light cavalry of the Han army used spears for this unification, and if the Cao army formed a formation, the Han light cavalry would definitely suffer a big loss, but now it is the Cao army that suffers.

Seeing that Cao Jun's shield had not yet been erected, and the spear had not yet been aimed at the Han army, the horses of the Han army had penetrated into the Cao army's military formation, and the sharp spears easily tore apart their bodies, and the people turned on their backs and fell to the ground.

After the cavalry rushed into the formation, the foot soldiers behind quickly followed, and the sound of scurrying footsteps and shouts of fighting continued.

Hundreds of crossbowmen drilled out of the mountains and forests on the right, and a series of dense and urgent bowstring crossbow arms trembled, and hundreds of arrows and crossbows smashed their heads and faces.

Immediately after the foot soldiers finally arrived, countless Han soldiers jumped out of the ravines under the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road ahead, shouting and shouting to cover up, arrows and knives, swords and guns, and in the blink of an eye, Cao Jun fell to the ground.

Cao Jun was cut down dozens of people in ignorance, and only then did he remember to form a formation to resist, several small officers desperately shouted to let the team concentrate, and Dai Ling kept commanding and shouting.

His vanguard banner was in the center of the formation, and he ordered the soldiers to assemble to him immediately, hoping that the Han army's offensive would not be so fierce.

But it's a pity that he obviously thinks too much, Shen Chen in the rear personally commanded, standing on a high place, constantly dispatching troops, Jiang Wei drilled out of a stone on the hillside, condescending, about a hundred steps away from the vanguard of the Cao army not far away.

He bent his bow and arrows, his deep gaze aimed at Dai Ling, who was riding on horseback, and then suddenly released the arrow in his hand. Although it is a hundred paces away, it is much faster to fall from a height than a hundred steps on flat ground.

I saw that the arrow crossed a brilliant arc in the air, like a bright meteor, impartial, and just hit Dai Ling's right neck.

Dai Ling only felt a cold feeling around his neck, and then there was a warm feeling surging, and he reached out with difficulty, and a black shadow appeared in front of him, and then his eyes rolled, and he fell off the horse, and was shot by Jiang Wei in the distance with an arrow.

Cao Jun was still trying to regroup the formation at this time, but there were Han troops everywhere, where would they leave a chance?

At this time, their main general had already given his life, and the military flag in the chaos was also snatched away by the Han army, and the mountains were all over the mountains in all directions, and they didn't know how many people came from the other side, they only heard the shouts of killing in front and back, and there were swords and guns on the left and right, and I don't know who howled in despair, and immediately blew up.

The men and horses that had originally wanted to gather were scattered at once, and the vanguard of Cao's army was less than 4,000 people, and the first 1,000 people were attacked and quickly collapsed, and then like a landslide, they began to run back desperately.

This run even tired the Cao soldiers behind, who originally listened to the whistles and gongs and drums of officers at all levels and wanted to assemble, but were scattered by the front army.

In addition, these Han soldiers were all brave and abnormal, shouting and echoing the front and back interception, and immediately cut Cao Jun into several sections, and they couldn't care about each other.

For a while, the road of one hundred and ten paces long was full of shouts of killing, scolding, greetings, screams, and the sound of iron tools when the blades intersected.

"What's going on?"

Cao Zhen, who was resting in the front army formation at this moment, immediately heard the situation in the distance.

Cao's army was divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and the formation stretched for more than ten miles.

At the rear is the baggage troops, with the Chinese army as the main force, and the front army is about 10,000 people, and the entire formation belongs to the standard three-army model.

And the front army needs to have a vanguard army to explore the way, and when Cao Jun is resting, the periphery is not without measures.

At this moment, the vanguard army was about a mile or less than two miles away from his front army, and far ahead, you could see a forest at the end of the winding road, and there were Cao soldiers who were retreating back in a hurry.

A knight with an arrow stuck in his back spat blood and rushed to Cao Zhen and reported to him: "Dudu, the Han army is in ambush in front. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he fell from his horse and fell to the ground.

Cao Zhen roared angrily: "Assemble! ”

"Toot toot!"

A sharp whistle sounded quickly, and the soldiers of the front army gathered.

In fact, at this time, the soldiers were already rushing here, and the well-trained Cao Jun began to act almost as soon as he heard the movement in front of him.

But the shouting and killing sound heard in front made Cao Zhenxin anxious, and after glancing around and seeing the general Dong Bi, he shouted: "Dong Bi, you immediately take a thousand people to help, and you must not let the vanguard army collapse." ”

"Yui!"

After Dong Bi received the order, he shouted, and then the surrounding Cao soldiers and soldiers approached him one after another.

Then more than 1,000 Cao soldiers followed Dong Bi all the way forward.

The road is winding and rugged, not a smooth road, less than 100 steps ahead is a curve, and the road ahead is completely unclear.

Fortunately, the plain area on the left, although wooded, can be bypassed, and it can barely pass.

In order to prevent him from collapsing when he encountered the army in front of him at this time, Dong Bi led his men and horses to pass through the trees on the left side and burrow into the grove.

How do you know that the result has just walked less than a mile, and the sound of killing sounded in the forest, Deng Ai had already calculated that the enemy would not dare to take the avenue for fear that the vanguard army would collapse and roll back, but chose the woods on the left, so he ambushed it early.

Hundreds of Han soldiers burst out of the bushes, shooting at Cao Jun with bows and crossbows, and although nearly half of them were blocked by the dense trees and vines in the forest, they also shot dozens of Cao Jun.

Immediately afterwards, the Han army threw down the bow and crossbow in his hand, brandished the ring-headed knife in his hand, and let out a wolf-like howl in his mouth, and pounced on Cao Jun, who had just been shot and had not yet reacted.

In an instant, Cao's vanguard army and those who rushed to support were in a bitter battle, but only a quarter of an hour later, Cao Zhen had already assembled his troops and horses.

This time, he did not rashly order the soldiers to run in pursuit, but chose to advance steadily, let the soldiers line up in formation, put up the spears in their hands in a row, and then began to move forward with neat steps.

I have to say that Cao Zhen does have something, and the level is not too bad.

Because at this time, the vanguard army of more than 3,000 and less than 4,000 people had already been defeated and collapsed at this moment, and after holding out for less than twenty minutes, it began to collapse backwards completely.

If another general ran over at this time, he would run head-on into the vanguard army that was driven and routed by the Han army, and directly reverses the entire army.

But Cao Zhen gathered his position, and rows of spearmen walked in the front, their sharp spears aimed at their upside-down soldiers.

So when the scattered Cao Jun turned his head and fled less than a mile, they were frightened.

The sharp spear was aimed at them!

"Retreat!"

Cao Zhen sat on horseback, and when he saw the collapsed vanguard soldiers rushing towards the military formation, he roared angrily: "I don't want to die, retreat left and right!" ”

"I don't want to die, back away left and right!"

"I don't want to die, back away left and right!"

"I don't want to die, back away left and right!"

As Cao Zhen shouted, the Cao Jun in front also began to roar in unison.

The sound was neat and loud, resounding throughout the battlefield.

Cao Jun, who retreated, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, and had no choice but to drill into the mountains and forests and plains on the left and right under the condition of blocking at both ends.

The crossbows and cavalry in the rear continued to chase and kill, although many Cao troops fell at the feet of the Han army, but they did not rush into the main formation.

After a while, the Cao army in the middle ran to death and was killed and scattered, while the main force of the front army had gathered 8,000 people and slowly rushed towards the Han army that was fighting on the battlefield.

Seeing that they were about to meet soon, Shen Chen, who was watching from the top of the mountain in the distance, immediately shouted, "Mingjin!" ”

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The loud sound of the cymbals quickly spread throughout the battlefield, and the Han soldiers then ran backwards without hesitation, except for carrying the corpses of their comrades who had died in battle in orange-red clothes.

The cavalry also turned their horses' heads, and the girl galloped to the north, and in an instant they distanced themselves from the main force of Cao Zhen's headquarters, and then marched away, not giving them a chance to pursue.

"General!"

Dong Bi came back from a bloody battle, hung some colors on his body, and reported to Cao Zhenyu: "Dai Ling died in battle. ”

"Take stock of the losses."

Cao Zhen said this without the slightest emotion in his eyes, if it wasn't for Dai Ling's death, he really wanted to kill that goods.

I can't control the soldiers, and the army collapses and rolls up, damn it!

Soon the losses were counted, and the vanguard army of more than 3,000 and less than 4,000 was folded by nearly half, and the soldiers who went to Dong Bi's aid were also killed or wounded by about one-third, and the casualties were less than 2,000, about 1,78.

For Cao Zhen, who is currently in charge of the main force of about 50,000 Cao troops, such a loss is obviously acceptable.

But I just feel like the diaphragm should be.

Obviously, he didn't do so badly, but he was still ambushed, which made Cao Zhen very unhappy.

No matter how unhappy it is, I can't help it.

He had to take the road of Leishou Mountain to go to Pusaka, and now that Pusaka was surrounded, Xu Huang didn't know what the situation was going on, and he was worried about the situation over there that made Cao Zhen anxious.

After about half an hour, after cleaning up the battlefield, Cao Jun continued to set off.

This time, Cao Zhen's scouts were fully spread, and occasionally you could hear the birds crying in the mountains and forests, and from time to time there were birds passing by, and Cao Jun's scouts also saw a figure flickering in the forest.

"Governor."

Another general on the side, Leping, said to Cao Zhen: "I heard that there are many Bashu people in Liu Bei's army, these people go over the mountains and mountains like walking on the ground, and they are used to talking in bird language, maybe they have been monitoring our actions in the forest before, using bird language to inform the Han army in the rear, and when we are resting, they suddenly attack." ”

"Hmm."

Cao Zhen nodded approvingly and said, "Order the scouts to reconnoiter in the direction of the bird's language." ”

"Yui!"

Leping immediately went to convey the military order.

Soon the scouts wandered in groups of three or five in the mountains and forests, occasionally shooting arrows in the direction of the birds.

The mountains are densely forested, and if you wait until the scouts have searched every place before advancing, you don't know if you can reach Kasaka in the Year of the Monkey, which is why the mountains are easy to ambush.

But now that you know the way the Han army communicates, you don't need to go into the woods to find out if the Han army exists, you only need dozens of crossbow arrows to shoot in that direction, even if you can't shoot the Han army hiding inside and sending a signal, you can scare the other party into half death and flee.

Sure enough, after having this method, the road in front was unimpeded, and the army walked more than ten miles, and at the end of the road ahead, a Han army camp had already appeared.

The camp stood on the side of the road, and they even dug a ditch from the direction of the Yellow River on the left bank to form a canal to protect the village.

And not only on the side of the road, but also on the side of the Yellow River and above the mountains and forests on the right, there are some large and small camps, at first glance, there is a large camp, and there are seven or eight small and medium-sized camps, blocking the entire road and not letting Cao Jun pass at all.

In addition to the camp, the outer ditches, horse traps, horse rejections, thistles and so on are all available, Shen Chen when he surrounded Puban, he sent a general of 3,000 people to occupy this Leishou Mountain artery first.

When he was sure that he would defend it himself, he brought another 7,000 men and hastened to build new camps, dig ditches, and build fortifications overnight to stop Cao's army.

In less than 20 days, he built a copper wall and iron wall, as if to make Cao Jun meet in Leishou Mountain and break the bloodstream.

Seeing this scene, Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and resented, almost squeezing out a few words from between his teeth.

"Order the three armies, set up camp in place!"

They didn't have siege equipment, and it was obviously not reliable to force a surprise attack, not to mention that they were ambushed today, losing a little men and horses, and their morale was slightly low, so it was obviously not a good time to attack at this time.

Soon Cao's soldiers began to set up camp in the same place, cutting down trees in the mountains and forests on the right, and building a camp on the vast plain near the bank of the Yellow River on the left.

In the distance, Shen Chen stood on a high oar in the camp and watched the other party stop, and said to Jiang Wei Deng Ai beside him: "This head-on attack must have made Cao Zhen feel a little headache, but now it is only a small victory, and you must not take it lightly." ”

"Yui!"

Jiang Wei and Deng Ai should be hand-in-hand.

Then Deng Ai said: "Dadudu, Cao's army is near the water, if we raid with the water army, wouldn't it be better if we could attack their rear camp and burn their grain and grass?" ”

"It's not that simple."

Shen Chen looked at the soldiers who were camped in the rear by the main force led by Cao Zhen in the distance, and said: "Cao Zhen is not an idle person, he would not have thought that we have a fleet, if I expected it to be good, he should have an arrangement, and the best way now is to copy three breads." ”

"Three bread copies?"

Jiang Wei was puzzled: "Grand Governor, apart from Ma Dai, do we still have any extra troops?" ”

Shen Chen smiled and pointed to the north behind him and said, "Don't forget, there is also General Pang!" ”

On Pound's side, he raided Pi's, and the result was almost out.
