Chapter 127 Breaking Xiahou through the drums

The bed crossbow started in the Spring and Autumn Period and flourished in the Han Dynasty. With a gun as an arrow, many people wind it up and shoot it with a hammer, and the lethality is amazing. Due to its large size and considerable bulkiness, it is often used in offensive and defensive battles, and is rarely used in field battles.

However, the moon array belongs to the chariot array, and it uses the range of the bow and crossbow to have the lethality of the cavalry; However, the dense infantry military array with a huge shield and thick oars lacked effective lethality.

When Emperor Wu of Liu Song Dynasty designed the Qiyue Array, he had already taken into account Yu Ban, a general who liked to use dense military formations to break the formation, so he arranged the bed crossbow used for offensive and defensive battles into the Qiyue Formation to strengthen the ability of the chariot formation to break the formation, so as to maintain the penetration of the dense military formation.

The bed crossbow was carried by boat, and the military formation was within a hundred paces, and the small bed crossbow was carried into the car formation, but it was only a matter of effort.

Today, facing the shield walls of the Cao army advancing on three sides, Gao Xiang raised the command flag with a hideous face, but the sergeants in the moon array showed the bed crossbow that had been wound in advance. The Cao soldiers who were walking with their shields in their hands didn't know it, and they only felt that the sound of bows and crossbows in the air was a little quieter.

"Put!"

Gao Xiang waved the flag down, and the sergeant who operated the bed crossbow raised the hammer and smashed it heavily into the crossbow machine of the bed crossbow, the crossbow machine was pulled, and the tight bowstring released the elastic potential energy that had been stored for a long time, and with the sound of 'tension', 'tension' and 'tension', the crossbow bolt loaded on the crossbow groove was stimulated.

"Whoosh!"

Twenty crossbow arrows the size of a short spear broke through the air, and at a distance of more than a hundred steps, the bed crossbow still had extraordinary lethality. Under the terrifying penetrating power, the wooden shield was suddenly torn apart, and then before Cao Jun's foot soldiers had time to react, they shot through his chest, leaving a huge wound, blood splattered out, and the foot soldiers fell to the ground with a bang.

Twenty crossbow arrows shot directly through the Cao army's foot soldiers who were walking with shields. The crossbow bolt did not stop flying, and then shot through the body of one of Cao's foot soldiers in the back, and the short spear connected them into a meat skewer.

Under the dense military formation, one or two people were shot through with one arrow, and thirty or forty foot soldiers were killed, shattering the military formation that was like a turtle shield, and exposing the foot soldiers who were using bows and spears behind the shield. Taking advantage of this gap, nearly 100 strong bows and crossbows fired at the gap exposed by Cao's army's array, and fired another volley, and dozens of unprotected foot soldiers were killed by arrows one after another.

Under the fierce fire of the Yue Formation, it caused a small riot in the Cao army's array. However, the army was strictly controlled, and the riots only lasted for a short time, and the military judge used his life to quell and stabilize the position. Under the command of the officer of the Cao army, the shield wall was slowly advancing again.

"Hurry up!"

Gao Xiang shouted hoarsely.

At Gao Xiang's urging, the five foot soldiers were exerting their strength to wring the bed crossbow, slowly opening the crossbow string with a tooth-sour sound, and the crossbowman in charge of firing adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow and loaded the short spear-sized crossbow into the crossbow slot.

When Cao's army marched to fifty paces, the crossbowmen raised their sledgehammers and struck the crossbow with all their might.

"Bang!"

Twenty crossbow arrows broke through the air again, and even the people with shields shot through, nearly 100 arrows followed, and dozens of Cao army's foot soldiers fell to the ground, causing the Cao army array to harass again. With the experience of the last time, the military judge quickly suppressed it and ordered Cao's infantry to charge.

"Wan Sheng!"

In order to reduce the damage of another wave of bed crossbows, Xu Jin's phalanx began to heat up, Sergeant Cao raised his shield and shouted slogans, the snare drum thundered, and they ran forward over the weeds and bushes to kill the Jingzhou military formation.

Huo Jun watched the battle on the river beach, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If Emperor Wu of Liu Song traveled to the later generations, he was estimated to be a master of tower defense games, but he was obviously a battle but he played a tower defense battle by luring the enemy to take the bait. The foot soldiers are backed by the river, and the car formation is surrounded by the outside, using bed crossbows, hard bows and strong crossbows, forming a firepower network, killing and injuring foot soldiers in a large area.

When the enemy army is close to the car formation, the real nightmare begins!

"Draw the bow and crossbow, and put on the spear!"

The foot soldiers in the formation took over the car formation, and the light car poked out spears and wolf stalks, but the moon array instantly turned into a hedgehog. On the inside, the bed crossbowman reloads the twisted string, and the crossbowman retreats to reload the crossbow.

"Kill!"

Faced with the obstruction of the light car, Cao Jun's brave foot soldiers tried to climb over the vehicle under the cover of their colleagues, but the sergeant in the car formation took the opportunity to raise his spear and stabbed him to the ground. The spearmen fought with the infantry in the formation through the chariot formation, and the view was obscured by the dense wolf stalks, and a spear stabbed out of the branches, killing the infantry outside the chariot formation; Or someone tried to climb into battle through the gap under the light car, but was stabbed to death by a prepared sergeant with a lance.

In hand-to-hand combat, the light chariots become the city walls, the infantry in the formation fights along the arc of the chariot formation, and the crossbowmen load their crossbow arrows inside, waiting for the next coordinated battle.

"The bed crossbow is ready!"

After a short fight, the bed crossbow was loaded, and the crossbowman removed the big shield that stood in front of the bed crossbow, and through the gap in the light car, the cold and shiny crossbow spear was aimed at the Cao army's foot soldiers who were impacting the car formation.

A Cao Jun foot soldier glanced at the bed crossbow, and his scalp was numb in an instant, and his whole body was cold, how could he have a chance to survive under such a close shot. He subconsciously threw himself to the ground, not caring if any soldiers behind him would step on him.

"Bang!"

At the moment of falling to the ground, the crossbowman swung his hammer again, striking the crossbow machine with all his might, and excites the bed crossbow that was ready to fire.

The Cao Jun's infantry who fell to the ground only heard the sound of the crossbow string rebounding and the crossbow spear breaking through the air, and then there was a large number of popping sounds, which was the sound of the crossbow spear shooting into the body, and then a large number of wails sounded, obviously the crossbow spear not only killed and injured one person, but shot as many as three or four people under such a close range of fire.

"Crossbow!"

After the bed crossbow fired fiercely, Huo Du shouted loudly. The soldier with a single bow and crossbow stepped forward and inserted himself into the ranks of foot soldiers, and shot arrows with bows, and another rain of arrows flew out of the car formation.

Under the staggered firepower of bed crossbows and bow crossbows, a large number of Cao Jun's foot soldiers in front of the car formation were either killed or wounded, and the injured were afraid of the car formation in front of them and retreated one after another, not daring to come forward to fight, obviously frightened. Riots gradually broke out in the military formation, and how could the strict management of the army be allowed to occur, and the military judge beheaded several people to stabilize the position.

Yu Ban's face was cold, and sure enough, he and Xiahou Yuan looked down on Huo Jun. This Huo Jun dared to line up with his back, obviously he had a backhand, but Huo Jun only stuck to the car formation like this, and it was a matter of time before he was defeated.

"The bed crossbow needs time to be loaded, and the soldiers who have been ordered to fight bravely and quickly break the car formation." Yu Ban commanded.

"No!"

There are only twenty bed crossbows in the car array, it must be impossible to cover everything, Huo Jun mostly arranges bed crossbows in front of the enemy, and the moon array on the flanks only has strong bows and hard crossbows, and the lethality is definitely not comparable to the bed crossbow with the bow and crossbow. Now the Cao army infantry on the front has retreated slightly, and the Cao army infantry on both sides are storming the Qiyue formation.

"Huh!"

Huo Jun looked at the Cao Jun foot soldiers in front of him rectifying the queue, preparing to attack, and was quite amazed. The forbidden army is really strict, and under the dense firepower, the infantry can also attack. However, surprise is surprise, Huo Jun didn't think Cao Jun could hold out for long.

"Ordered the boat to approach the shore and throw stone bombs at the flanks of Cao's army to cover the flank vehicle formation of our army."

"No!"

100 steps away from the water, with the convenience of boats, the small throwing car on the ship can naturally support the two-wing car formation. In order to achieve the way of fighting, Huo Jun modified the shallow draft bucket boat and arranged a simple projection car.

Under Huo Jun's order, five bucket boats on each side of the formation lined up along the river, the gunners let go of the ropes, the poles bounced forward, and the stone bullets flew out of the air, drawing arcs in the air with a whistling sound.

"Bang!"

Except for one of the ten stone bullets at the wrong angle, the remaining nine stone bullets smashed into the dense Cao army array. A crudely arranged catapult with a small number of stone projectiles.

A sergeant with a bow thrown into the sky, listening to the sound, just looked up, was hit head-on by a stone bullet, his skull was broken, his head was bleeding, and his brain was splashed. Frightened, the soldiers on his side hurriedly looked up, but saw that the stone bullet came from the river, and he was quite panicked.

"Crossbow!"

Taking advantage of the turmoil in Cao's formation, the soldiers on both wings drew the crossbowmen who were ready to shoot, stepped on the light cart, and poured out the rain of arrows. However, the Cao army on both flanks of the moon array was in a commotion with the cooperation of stone bullets and bows and crossbows, coupled with the fact that the car formation was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the casualties increased, and there were signs of retreat.

The stone bullet was not very lethal, but the sound and death were terrifying, dampening the morale of Cao's soldiers.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, the navy + light car + foot soldier + bed crossbow could actually play such a match.

Are you fighting in the field, or are you besieging a city?

Even Xiahou Yuan, who was watching the battle, felt the power of the Moon Formation, and Yu Ban, who personally commanded the infantry to fight, didn't know. He immediately changed his previous mind and sent his attendants to report the battle situation to Xiahou Yuan.

"Overseer, General Yu said that the enemy's vehicle formation is strange, there are vehicles and ships on the left and right as protection, and there is a bed crossbow on the front, it is really difficult to break it, it is better to retreat, wait for Sun Yu's naval army to go up the Shuojiang River, break its boats, and attack the front and rear to break the enemy formation." The squire arched his hand.

"Bastard!"

Xiahou Yuan used the whip in his hand to slap the scout's back, and said angrily: "Our army's 7,000 soldiers besieged the enemy's 3,000 soldiers and horses, twice as many as the enemy. Tell Yu Ban to step forward bravely, the battle between the two armies is valiant and brave, how can you defeat the enemy if you are so cowardly? ”

Yu Ban's words made Xiahou Yuan quite annoyed, before the war, he despised Sun Yu, he couldn't beat less than 3,000 people with 7,000 people, and he still needed his help, wouldn't this make him laugh. And he mocked Huo Jun for being incompetent before, and now that he is in the water, he can't win it, and he will slap himself in the face.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan also has his own combat ideas, as he said, the two armies are brave and brave in battle, and the soldiers will be able to break the enemy.

It's a pity that Xiahou Yuan didn't know that the Moon Array designed by Emperor Wu of Liu Song was specifically designed to deal with an iron-headed baby like him, the more reckless you are, the more miserable your death.

Today, Huo Jun will use the Moon Array to make Xiahou Yuan understand a truth, that is, to be a general, not only must be brave, but also wise, based on bravery, and acting wisely, the way is to be a general.

In Xiahou Yuan's urging, Yu Ban and Biqiu Xing asked the soldiers to press the strong attack car formation. Compared with the initial attack, Cao's infantry was well-trained and brave and resolute; Knowing the power of the moon array, and looking at the corpse that died tragically in front of the car array, they were already stunned in their hearts, and they were no longer as brave as before.

Huo Jun stood on the boat condescendingly, discovered the abnormality of Cao Jun's military formation, and looked up at the movements of Cao Jun's cavalry. I saw that the horsemen had not fought for a long time, and they were quite loose, and considering the horse's endurance, the horsemen dismounted and rested, and were not guarded.

Seeing this, Huo Jun sneered and said sarcastically: "Xiahou Yuan really doesn't know whether to live or die!" ”

"Raise the green flag and let Shiren prepare."

"No!"

Huo Du saw his younger brother raise the green flag, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Order the bed crossbow to wait for the enemy to approach before firing, the crossbowmen are ready, and the foot soldiers remove the hook lock." ”

The military order was conveyed, and when the Cao army's army was approaching, the infantry in the Yueyue array removed the hook and lock of the car formation, and then lined up with spears and guns; The bed crossbow sweats hot and sweats in his hands, concentrated, and holds the hammer tightly in his hands; The crossbowmen were silent, mounted their bows and arrows, and held their crossbows in waiting; The horsemen crossed their heads and ears, wore armor, and led their horses and held their guns.

Seeing that there was no sound of crossbows in the military formation, Cao's infantry felt a little calm, and at the urging of the officers, they raised their shields and attacked again. He took hurried steps, his eyes fixed on the front, still worried about the bow and crossbow in the car formation.

"Boom!"

One drum!

Approaching fifty paces, the bed crossbowman heard the snare drum, and twenty bed crossbows were revealed. The shield-wielding sergeants were so frightened that they avoided to the left and right, not daring to face the bed crossbow.

The bed crossbowman spat and slammed his hammer into the crossbow. Twenty short spears shot out, and under the astonishing penetrating power, the Cao army's foot soldiers in the military array became meat skewers again, and the wails were endless. The crossbowmen emerged from the light cart and poured out the crossbow in their hands, and there was another bloody storm in Cao's army.

This wave of bed crossbow + arrow rain attacks frightened Sergeant Cao again, compared with the small riot brought before, this time everyone retreated, the military formation was chaotic, and the officers shouted and shouted.

Obviously, after many attacks, the morale of Cao's soldiers had reached a critical value, but this time the firepower of the Moon Array was like the last straw that crushed them.

"Boom!"

Two-way drums!

"Drive the formation!"

At the sound of the drums, the light carts in front of the moon array were pushed away, and the foot soldiers retreated to the sides, making way for seven or eight horsemen to pass.

"Kill!"

Shiren held his lance high and galloped in front, and the three hundred horsemen also shouted in unison.

Three hundred cavalry sped out of the formation, and thousands of iron hooves let out a deafening roar, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky.

In the face of the three hundred cavalry killed in the Moon Array, all the soldiers of the Cao Army were stunned, they had been besieging for so long, and they never thought that the Moon Array would suddenly counterattack.

A group of 300 cavalry soldiers was killed in this way, and was defeated by bed crossbows and bow crossbows, and the Cao army infantry who retreated and rioted had no time to resist.

In an instant, the iron cavalry stepped in. Shiren held a lance in his hand, and when he saw a Cao soldier waiting to order the sergeants to assemble, he urged his horse to stab diagonally, slammed it into his chest, and then pulled his hand and walked away. The rest of the Cao soldiers became more and more chaotic, and they were all scattered to hide.

Three hundred horsemen rode their horses and rushed violently, sometimes sprinting with long lances, sometimes drawing swords and slashing, killing Cao's foot soldiers. They also acted in batches, forming several squads to cut the military formation, allowing the chaotic Cao army to break and flee.

The cavalry drove the sheep and cattle away, allowing the rout to disperse the small formations that were trying to assemble. Fear was spreading, chaos was spreading, and Cao's infantry soldiers began to rout directly.

"Kill!"

Shiren remembered the military order ordered by Huo Jun, leaving more than 100 cavalry to destroy the Cao army formation, and he entangled 200 cavalry to cut through the Cao army formation in front, and directly killed the Cao army cavalry who was resting on the horse and had no time to guard.

These Cao army cavalry saw that the army formation was difficult to break, and the foot soldiers fought there for a long time, of course they could not ride on the horse for a long time, after all, the endurance of the war horse was poor, in order to ensure the physical strength of the battle, they dismounted to rest, and fed the war horse rations.

When Shiren led the Jingzhou cavalry to kill and approached them, only dozens of cavalry soldiers got on their horses to fight and respond. By the time Kankan launched the attack, two hundred horsemen had already killed them in front of them.

Relying on the speed of the horse, Shiren poked out the horse lance in his hand and poked the Cao Wei rider who had just got on the horse and knocked him to the ground. Then he faced the unmounted and bare-handed horsemen, wielded his lance, killed several people, and dispersed the horses.

Under the charge of two hundred cavalry, these brave cavalry soldiers were killed to cry for their fathers and mothers, and ran around; Their horses were frightened and walked towards the surrounding fields. In an instant, two or three hundred horsemen were killed on the spot, and the rest of the horsemen were killed and scattered, no matter how Wen Ji shouted.

Shiren was able to kill there, but he made Xiahou Yuan, who was watching the battle, angry. Since he joined the army, the first time he fought such a, the army could not be broken, and he was killed by the enemy cavalry. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Someone!"

Xiahou Yuan snatched the squire's lance, turned over on his horse, and shouted: "Let Zhang Xi come with me, kill the enemy cavalry, and then take the opportunity to break the formation." ”

"No!"

Xiahou Yuan led his troops to join Zhang Xi's cavalry, about 800 cavalry, and brazenly killed Shiren's department.

Huo Jun, who was standing on the boat, saw another cavalry from a diagonal angle killing Shiren's headquarters, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiahou Yuan will be defeated!" ”

"Blow the trumpet and let Shiren withdraw his troops."

"No!"

"Woo~"

Shiren, who was struggling to fight, heard the sound of the horn and saw the Cao army cavalry that was about to be killed, and immediately asked people to shake the military flag and gather and retreat. The two hundred cavalry had the summoning of the military banner and the sound of the trumpet warning, gave up the pursuit and quickly withdrew to the army formation by the same route.

"Chase!"

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, and the commander shouted loudly: "The enemy cavalry returns to the camp, takes the opportunity to chase it, and breaks into the formation." ”

Xiahou Yuan did not raid with the army, but left behind to sort out the scattered foot soldiers and cavalry.

However, the Cao army infantry in front of the moon array was driven away by the Jingzhou cavalry, and Shiren led 200 cavalry to return to the battle along the open road. Behind him, Zhang Xi led the cavalry to chase closely, wanting to take the opportunity to enter the battle with the Shiren cavalry.

Shiren held the reins and galloped forward, and when he was close to thirty paces, he saw the white flag erected in the middle of the formation. Then the horse rode diagonally to the left, followed the chariot formation, and walked in an arc. Two hundred horsemen marched to the left and right, each with a hundred horsemen.

The more than 100 cavalry soldiers he left behind before drove the frontal infantry to both sides, causing some confusion in the left and right flank formations. The 200 cavalry dispersed, but was not blocked, but only intensified the turmoil in the Cao army formations on both sides.

When the two hundred cavalry dispersed, the open military array was exposed in front of Zhang Xi's cavalry.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan, who was in the rear, had a premonition of danger when he looked at the scattered Shiren cavalry, and he shouted excitedly: "Mingjin! Let them retreat! ”

The order was given, but it was too late.

The gate of the car formation was open, and two rows of wolves were slanted into the ground, dense branches, sharp spear tips, intimidating. Behind the wolf's whizz, there were twenty bed crossbows aimed at Cao's cavalry, and hundreds of strong bows and crossbows were ready to fire.

Shiren and the two hundred cavalry were prepared in advance and were able to successfully turn, and when the Cao Jun cavalry turned to avoid it, but due to the inertia of the horse, they still galloped forward a few steps.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As Cao's cavalry galloped, twenty short spears ricocheted from the bed crossbow, followed by hundreds of arrows.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The short spear flew with great force, and no one was spared wherever it went; A strong bow and a hard crossbow pierce armor and sharp weapons, and the middle one is either dead or wounded. Hundreds of crossbow arrows shot into the cavalry, countless blood bursts out, and nearly 200 cavalry soldiers were killed on the spot.

The bed crossbows stopped, the crossbowmen were still pouring arrows, and the sergeant in the front row took the crossbows loaded in the back row, raised his hand and fired, and then a group of horsemen and horses fell, wailing and groaning in pain on the ground.

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Xi, who led the charge, was in the second queue, he was lucky to dodge the terrifying bed crossbow, but he did not dodge the heavy arrows, several heavy arrows directly penetrated his chest, heart and lungs, and he fell to the ground and died with just a wail.

Zhang Xi died, and a large number of horsemen died, and the remaining knights became more and more chaotic, and the queue was suddenly fragmented.

"Beat the drums!"

Seeing this scene, Huo Jun drew his sword and stepped forward, pointed at Cao Jun, and shouted excitedly: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

"No!"

"Knock~"

Three-way drum sounds!

The sound of drums resounded through the Anhui River and its east bank, but all the soldiers in the Moon Array were boiling. Shiren led the cavalry to kill left and right, and the infantry in the car formation rushed out under the leadership of Huo Du, Gao Xiang, and Ding Feng.

Ding Feng and Gao Xiang each commanded 600 people, and went out along the open passage in front of them, holding swords and shields, carrying bows and crossbows, one of them killed the Cao army on the right, and the other from the Cao army on the left. Du led more than 1,000 soldiers in the formation to fight on light vehicles.

The Cao army on both sides suffered from the impact of the rout, and after the cavalry rushed to kill, the military formation had been shaken, but fortunately, thanks to the ban and Biqiu Xing in time to stabilize the position, there was no rout, only local chaos.

But then Gao Xiang and Ding Feng led the elite infantry to attack from the flanks, and they entered the battle with swords and shields, first throwing short spears to break their military formation, and then slaughtering into the formation with overwhelming momentum. Huo Du ordered the sergeant to use bows and arrows and javelins to attack the Cao troops on both sides, and if they were defeated, they led their troops to kill the Yueyue array.

The Cao army was too tired, they followed Xiahou Yuan to Wanshui for a long time, and after a day of rest, they fought with the Jingzhou army, and in the face of the long-term attack of the Yueyue array, the sharpness of the bows and crossbows in the array, and the blow of the throwing stone, they were already tired, if they hadn't been in battle for a long time, they would have collapsed long ago.

Today, Ding Feng, Gao Xiang, and Huo Du counterattacked on both sides, as well as a small number of cavalry attacks, and even saw that the boats floating on the Anhui water seemed to have soldiers and horses to use, and Cao's soldiers became more and more panicked.

Ding Feng and Gao Xiang broke through the corners of the military formation, and then directly broke through the two wings of the military formation. Sergeant Cao began to retreat, and as the number of people retreating increased, it turned into an escape. Cao Jun's foot soldiers were gradually controlled by frightened emotions, and it was useless to shout no matter how forbidden and Biqiu Xing shouted, and even the two of them were coerced away.

On the water of Anhui, Huo Jun looked at the defeated Cao Jun, raised his head and laughed, and said: "Fighting against the water, outnumbered, except for Han Xin, there are still predecessors!" ”

"The whole army is in pursuit!"

Each has its own joys and sorrows, Huo Jun was overjoyed, Xiahou Yuan looked at the infantry that was pushed back by the Jingzhou sergeant, he was furious, and shouted loudly: "Where are Yu Ban and Zhang Xi?" ”

"Overseer, General Zhang is dead!" The horseman said in fear.

"What about Yu Ban?"

"So-and-so!"

Under the cover of the guards, Yu Ban escaped from the chaotic military formation and came to Xiahou Yuan's side.

Xiahou Yuan asked angrily, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Ban looked at the Cao army's infantry who retreated like a tide, and said bitterly: "The Jiuke army is difficult to attack, the enemy's bows and crossbows are endless, the frontal infantry is broken, the left and right wings are hit, the soldiers are tired, and the morale is low, so it should be defeated!" ”

"Overseers retreat!"

The attendant looked at Shiren who was coming from the counterattack and shouted, "Temporarily avoid the enemy's edge!" ”

"Retreat!"

Xiahou Yuan saw that the infantry and cavalry phalanx he had just assembled was scattered by the rout, and Jingzhou's counteroffensive became more and more powerful, so he decisively ordered and said.

……

Huo Jun let people chase and kill for a while, worried about the battle between Gan Ning and Sun Yu downstream. He ordered Gao Xiang, Huo Du and other generals to lead their troops back to the division, leaving Shiren to lead the cavalry to pursue the defeated Cao army.

Xiahou Yuan gathered his horses along the way, and the focus was on gathering those war horses, after all, war horses were especially precious. He shuttled along the mountains and trees, and the target was the stone pavilion.

Although the stone pavilion is not as flat as Long Fengting, it is also flat and fertile, and he is going to collect the rout army in the stone pavilion, observe the situation on Sun Yu's side, and then make plans.

I don't know how long I went, but it was almost dusk, and the sky was already dark. At this time, Xiahou Yuan's sweat soaked his clothes, and he took off his hood, his hair was scattered, and he held the reins and pulled the war horse behind him.

He gathered the rout all the way, with more than 800 cavalry and more than 1,000 foot soldiers. It was too difficult to traverse the hills, and he and the others chose to walk, taking into account the hooves of the horses.

"General!"

The attendant pointed ahead and shouted, "The mountain road of our army is blocked by boulders and big trees, and it is difficult to move forward. ”

Xiahou Yuan looked over and saw several large trees blocking the narrow mountain road, and the stones were piled up, blocking their way forward.

Suddenly, the banner of the Jingzhou Army rose in the silent mountains, and the military drums sounded loudly again. There seemed to be countless soldiers running in the mountains and forests, and the sound was terrifying.

Such a scene frightened Xiahou Yuan and those soldiers pale, they were originally defeated soldiers, and now they have fled here, where can they still have the strength to fight.

"Not good!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Retreat!"

Seeing that the ambush soldiers were some distance away from them, Xiahou Yuan shouted, "Quickly climb over the mountain road." ”

"General, what about the war horse?"

The rider looked at the blocked mountain road, then at the rider, and said distressedly.

"Kill on the spot, don't leave it to the enemy!" Xiahou Yuan said ruthlessly.

"This~"

When the cavalry hesitated, Yu Ban led the infantry to climb the mountain road, while the Jingzhou sergeant on the mountain ridge rushed down the hillside.

Just as the horsemen were about to swing their swords, several cold arrows shot from their ears, so frightened that the horsemen did not dare to stop, and ran away. In addition to a small number of war horses were killed, a large number of war horses were left in the mountain road by Cao Jun's foot soldiers.

Seeing this, Xu Sheng also ordered people to stop the pursuit and gather the war horses. There were only a few hundred sergeants under his account, and most of them were new soldiers, so it was difficult to fight with Xiahou Yuan's rout, so the task assigned to him by Huo Jun was only to capture the war horses.

ps; It's not going to be today, but it's long enough this time!
