Chapter 104: Repelling the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
The two were like friends meeting for many years, and they were very red-eyed.
"Boom!"
As soon as the two weapons clashed, there was a loud sound, and the sound was extremely terrifying.
However, something unexpected happened to Han Sui.
Such an arrogant axe method of his own would be easily resolved by Cao Chun!
Moreover, the huge and incomparably long Miao Knife in Cao Chun's hand was far less weak than Han Sui thought.
In Cao Chun's hands, it is like a ferocious snake, not only flexible, but also full of lethality.
Han Sui was secretly shocked in his heart.
I saw Cao Chun before, Cao Chun is far from having such strength!
At that time, Cao Chun couldn't even catch his own three axes.
Seeing each other again in such a short period of time, I can already overpower myself!
"What the hell is your weird weapon?!"
Han Sui narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Where would Cao Chun take care of him, the Miao knife in his hand was even worse, and he stabbed straight towards Han Sui.
"Be careful!"
At this time, seeing this, Ma Teng in the rear hurriedly pulled out his spear and directly blocked Cao Chun's fatal blow.
However, this blow also made Ma Teng completely incapacitated.
The spear is actually broken!
Ma Teng couldn't believe that the weapon he had used for several years was still extremely sharp, but it was cut off with a knife!
You know, the body of this spear is made of pure pig iron.
Its weight is very usable, and it is precisely because of this that Ma Teng is almost invincible when riding in battle.
This weapon is weird!
"Shoucheng, collect the troops."
"It seems that I still underestimated the tiger and leopard ride, the tiger and leopard ride actually has such strength, if it continues to fight like this, it will only increase casualties."
Han Sui gritted his teeth.
Although seeing so many Cao soldiers being surrounded, Han Sui was really a little reluctant.
But he never expected that the strength of the tiger and leopard ride would soar into the sky, which was completely different from what he encountered back then.
Now it seems that most of the baggage has been looted, and at this time, fighting to the death will do more harm than good.
Cao Chun shouted at the ministers, and wanted to give Han Sui another knife with the Miao knife in his hand.
However, more than a dozen Xiliang iron horsemen appeared in front of him, and they surrounded him.
"Look for death!"
Seeing that the baggage army in the rear was beaten like this, Li Yan did not know where to go, and Cao Ren and Li Dian were both seriously injured.
How could Cao Chun not be annoyed?
Hearing Cao Chun's bursting shout, he raised his weapon and slashed at the nearest soldier.
The soldier was caught off guard and hurriedly raised his spear to block.
But the quality of the spear was far less than that of Ma Teng, and it was directly split in half.
The sharp knife cut directly through his throat, and he was killed.
The surrounding soldiers were directly frightened when they saw this.
What kind of weird weapon is this?
They had heard of such sharp weapons, as if Cao Cao had a Heavenly Sword and a Qingyu Sword in his hand, which could sharpen iron like clay.
But it was just a long sword, and it was difficult to use it in battle on horseback, not to mention that the Qingyu Sword had already been taken away by Zhao Zilong.
No matter how you look at what Cao Chun is in his hands, it is not one of the two.
What's more, the blades of the tiger and leopard ride seem to be like this!
This involuntarily made Xiliang Tieqi a little frightened.
"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops!"
With Ma Teng's unwilling roar, the surrounding Xiliang Iron Riders retreated like a tide.
Where are the tigers and leopards willing to let the Xiliang Iron Cavalry retreat unharmed after such a plunder, and immediately rode their horses to chase after them.
However, Ma Teng had already prepared and ordered a group of foot soldiers to resist the tiger and leopard cavalry, while the main force hurriedly ran to the north.
Cao Chun still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Jiang Wei behind him:
"General, don't chase it."
"These Xiliang Iron Cavalry have already had a retreat route, if they continue to chase like this, they will be in trouble if they encounter an ambush."
The cavalry is very capable of attacking, but the pursuit ability is not as good as that of the foot soldiers.
What's more, Xiliang may have been prepared.
Although there is an advantage in speed, if you want to deal with cavalry, a stumbling horse can completely incapacitate the cavalry.
If a team of tigers and leopards is killed, the equipment will be paid.
When the time comes, Xiliang Tie, who is proficient in riding, will be even more difficult to deal with if he has this equipment.
Cao Chun still wanted to chase, but looking at the dead and wounded soldiers of the baggage battalion in the rear, he hurriedly ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to stop chasing and take these wounded to the city for treatment first.
Now Cao's army is not short of food, nor is it short of money and armor, what is lacking is soldiers.
Especially the soldiers of these baggage battalions, all of them are like this, and if they are lost, it will be difficult to make up for them.
The soldiers of the baggage battalion, it is necessary to select veterans, and those who have just been recruited must not be trusted.
The others are okay, but this baggage camp is a big difficulty.
At the same time, the tiger and leopard rider also found Li Yan in the pile of corpses.
Cao Chun hurriedly dismounted to check.
Fortunately, Li Yan just fainted.
After a brief diagnosis, the military doctor informed Cao Chun that Li Yan had received a heavy blow to the head and was covered in blood, but he was fine and had not been fatally injured.
Li Yan can't be blamed for this incident, after all, no one would have imagined that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could perfectly bypass the magnificent Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and attack the baggage camp.
"Where did this Xiliang cavalry come from?"
"It's impossible to really borrow the way of the Huns, right?"
Cao Chun gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.
Jiang Wei shook his head and said:
"It's absolutely impossible, even if the tiger and leopard ride at the current speed, if you want to go around the Huns from Liangzhou to attack the heavy camp, it will take at least three days to arrive."
"And it has only been two days since Hanzhong was attacked by the night, and it is impossible for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to have this speed."
"Between Hanzhong and Xiliang, there must be a shortcut that we don't know."
After Jiang Wei's reminder, Cao Chun remembered.
Why did Ma Chao suddenly come to Hanzhong without being noticed?
Because at the front of Hanzhong, there are obviously hidden posts planted, and once there is a disturbance, these dark posts will immediately notify Hanzhong.
Whether it is day or night, the sound of the horse's hooves on the march of the cavalry is so loud that the dark post will be discovered.
With such proof, I am afraid that there is indeed a shortcut between Hanzhong and Xiliang.
"Find! Since it is a shortcut, only the fastest mountain road is taken. ”
Cao Chun's firm way.
Jiang Wei just nodded, but he thought that this shortcut might not necessarily be in the mountains.
Why is Hanzhong a battleground for soldiers? Because there are mountains all around.
And these mountains are lofty mountains, and it is difficult for infantry or cavalry to cross.
This is also the reason why Xiliang has not had the idea of fighting Hanzhong for so long.
What's more, this time the Xiliang soldiers weighed 200,000, of which 100,000 were foot soldiers.
With so many foot soldiers, it is simply impossible to cross the mountains!
However, just as Jiang Wei was thinking about it, he suddenly found a string of footprints on the ground.
"Perhaps, I've found the problem!"
