Chapter 33: Breaking the Enemy
"Guan Yu Piff!"
Changbanpo, watching from a distance that Xiahou Cun was cut off by the second master with a knife as soon as he fought with him, and then the whole army collapsed, and Cao Ren couldn't care about driving those fugitives anymore at the moment. Hurriedly gathered more than 2,000 sergeants under his command, and greeted the second master who was in pursuit.
"You may fight again!"
In the face of Cao Ren, a new force several times his own and waiting for work, the second master was not afraid at all, and turned his head and shouted at the school knife players behind him.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!! ”
Like the second master, in the face of the Cao army, which was four times his size, he only lost dozens of school swordsmen in the previous battle, and some of them only had the fighting spirit to soar into the sky, without the slightest timidity.
"Then kill me with me!"
As soon as the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his palm flipped over, the second master urged the horse forward again, and once again rushed to the front of the team, once again acting as the arrow of this breaking formation!
"Arrogance!"
Although he witnessed Guan Yu and the five hundred school swordsmen defeat Xiahou Cun with a devastating momentum, Cao Ren is also a famous general who has been in battle for a long time, so he will naturally not be easily overwhelmed by the momentum of the second master.
Therefore, in order to prevent the second master and the school knife hand from taking a breather, Cao Ren, who had already completed the assembly of the whole team, immediately led the soldiers and horses to rush towards the second master.
"Don't stop and avoid, just rush over!"
Looking at the rout between himself and the second master, in order not to give the second master the slightest respite, Cao Ren did not have the slightest intention of reining it, but chose to trample it directly.
Therefore, the battlefield battle between Cao Ren and the second master began with the slaughter of his own army.
……
"Kill !!"
In a few breaths, Cao Ren, who had finished 'cleaning up' the army before the battle, immediately exchanged hands with the school knife hand led by the second master.
It's just that this time, although the second master is still charging forward, he did not charge alone like before, but jumped off his horse and lined up behind him, and the school knife hand who was advancing like a wall cooperated closely, and launched an attack on Cao Ren steadily.
Just like the previous match against Xiahou Cun, although the opponent was replaced by Cao Ren this time, it still did not affect the performance of the school knife players.
Therefore, in just one battle, Cao Jun was killed hundreds in an instant.
Just kidding, the five hundred school swordsmen of the second master were formed by the Kansai Han brought by Zhou Cang from Woniu Mountain in the past. Not to mention being tall and strong, and all of them are wearing heavy armor.
Combined with the long-handled war knife and the tactics of advancing like a wall at this time, it can be said that there is already the prototype of the Mo knife team that shocked the world in the later Tang Dynasty.
You know, the Modao team is a hoplite who can ride on foot. Therefore, in the face of this Cao army, which is mainly lightly armed, even if the five hundred school swordsmen only have the rudiments of the Mo Dao team at this time, the combat power is also not to be underestimated, and it is not something that Cao Ren's light infantry can resist.
But fortunately, Cao Ren is not Xiahou Cun, how to say that he is also a person who has been in battle for a long time and can be called a famous general. In addition, its management of the army is strict, so even if it falls behind at this time, the army is still not chaotic and the morale has not collapsed, which is far from comparable to the previous Xiahou Cun.
No wonder the prime minister used to ...... The combat power of this school swordsman is not weak, and he was in the camp back then! ’
Seeing that he was obviously superior in strength, but was in a situation of being passively beaten, Cao Ren in the formation couldn't help but think of the trapped camp under Lu Bu's tent back then.
"That's it, there are not many soldiers and horses with you today, you can't fight hard with them, let's retreat for the time being!"
In the end, seeing that there was no hope of victory, Cao Ren also had the heart to retreat after judging the situation.
"Hou Sheng, after you lead a song, the rest of the army will become the former army......"
Seeing that there was no hope of victory, and continuing to fight hard would only increase the losses in vain, Cao Rendang decisively gave the order to retreat, without delay.
"Hmph, want to get out of the way? How can it be that simple! ”
Seeing that Cao Jun began to separate and change formations, how could the second master, who had also been in battle for a long time, not know the other party's plans.
"Zhou Cang, you lead two hundred people to sweep the tail, and the rest of the people will follow me to pursue Cao Ren's husband!"
Looking at Cao Ren, who had already begun to retreat, the second master, who was only in his early 400s at this time, still chose to divide his troops and personally pursued and killed Cao Ren who retreated.
……
"That's it, I'll send his head for now!"
Although the school knife is strong, it is a hoplite after all, and its marching speed is its shortcoming. In addition, after two consecutive battles, the physical consumption was serious, so after expelling Cao Ren's defeated army from Changbanpo, the second master also stopped continuing the pursuit.
"Thank you General Guan for saving your life......"
Seeing that Cao Jun who was blocking the road was beaten away, a group of fugitives who fled south hurriedly saluted Guan Yu and thanked him.
"Thou shalt wait for thousands of miles to cast ...... This is the responsibility of the general, no need to be polite! Zhou Cang, you lead 300 people to stay, and you are responsible for escorting these people south. The rest of the people, wait for me, go to Hanjin with me! ”
After a short pause, not tired of being tired, the second master immediately led more than 100 people to cross the Baling Bridge where Zhang Sanye rejected the water and broke the bridge in the past and headed towards Hanjin.
……
"Zhongye, you also grew up in Jingzhou, how can you bear to embarrass your hometown fathers?"
On the bank of Hanjin, in front of the two armies, looking at Wen Ping with an unbearable look on his face, the second master did not directly attack this time.
"General Guan, the military order is like a mountain...... And the last general did not embarrass the fathers and fellow villagers, but only to escort them back to their hometown......"
Faced with the second master's questioning, Wen Ping couldn't help but look ashamed.
"Homecoming? Hehe, Zhongye is a reasonable person, if the people can be fed and clothed, who wants to stay away from their homeland? Cao Cao only cared about his own selfishness, and cared about the life and death of the people in vain, and set the ...... of Liuchengtian"
Maybe it's because Wen Ping was born in Jingzhou and has worked together, but the second master is very rare to talk to him about reason.
"General Guan doesn't need to say much, the duty of the last general is only offended today, and we will see the truth on the battlefield!"
In the face of the persuasion of the second master, the wordless Wenpin, in the end, could only choose the simplest solution, fighting his fists.
"Hehe, since Zhongye is so interested, then I have done one today, please!"
……
"Today, we don't have enough soldiers and horses, so it's not appropriate to fight with Guan Yu and withdraw!"
The two armies had just been fighting for less than a quarter of an hour, and the previous 'threat' was to divide the superiority on the battlefield, but now the order to withdraw was quickly issued under the pretext of insufficient troops.
"Father, do you want to chase after you again?"
Looking at Wen Ping, who led the army to 'escape', Guan Ping couldn't help but smile lightly.
"No need, Zhongye just needs an 'invincible' truth, or is it important to escort the people south......"
At this point, with the second master breaking Cao Ren and Wen Ping two formations in a row, the road to the south of Nanyang and Beijiangxia was temporarily opened, and the largest group of people who moved south with a total of 780,000 finally succeeded in entering the rule of Liu Chan.
