Chapter 555
The Cao army in the middle of the road appeared in a 5,000-sword chariot formation, which was completely tailor-made for the Hao army's iron cavalry.
Thundered~
The behemoths are neatly arranged in several rows, these behemoths are four-wheeled chariots made of solid wood, and the front, left and right sides of the body are nailed with spears and sharp blades, each car weighs two or three hundred catties, like a monster with teeth and claws.
This kind of rushing car, the defense is extremely strong, can completely block the impact of any cavalry, even if the heavy armor iron cavalry rushes, it will be stabbed by the sharp blade or even cut off the horse legs that the iron armor can not cover, and finally both lose, this is Cao Cao specially created to deal with the Hao army cavalry big killing weapon.
Cao's saber and chariot formation was in front, spear and shield soldiers were behind, and then tens of thousands of crossbowmen and crossbowmen formed an unbreakable defensive counterattack-style battle formation.
Once the vast white cavalry is restrained to death, it will inevitably be defeated.
Of course, all this had to be done in the haste of the Hao army and in accordance with the conventional tactics to arrange troops to meet the battle.
Cao Cao's painstaking preparation for the Hao army's combination of sword chariots, sword and shield soldiers, and crossbowmen did not wait for the cavalry that rushed to kill.
Faced with such a situation, the Hao army that appeared in front of them directly gave up riding and switched to foot combat.
All the Chinese front troops are all holding big shields.
Seeing that the enemy army was already approaching, with an order, the tip of the big iron shield that was more than one person high was fiercely inserted into the ground, forming a dense shield array, like a copper wall and an iron wall, which could not be drained.
Boom boom boom~
The heavy knife carts collided with the shield array of the Hao army, and there was a huge iron collision sound, and the sharp blades on the knife carts stabbed on the iron shield, and sparks splashed everywhere.
The soldiers on both sides stood together, stalemate, under the orders of their commanders, they all exerted their strength, one side pushed the knife cart forward to rush forward, trying to break the opponent's array, and the other side desperately resisted the iron shield to prevent the enemy from taking a step forward.
Gradually, some of the shield soldiers began to be unable to support it, because the enemy's knife cart itself weighed two or three hundred catties, and behind the knife cart, there were five people pushing the cart, and there were only two or three shield soldiers on the opposite side, and it was difficult to support it for a long time.
"General, the brothers of the former army are almost unable to support it, hurry up and make the next plan!" said a military Sima urgently.
The spear in Haobai's hand was raised high, and he waved it down: "Set fire to the oil bomb!"
Huhuhu~
Blazing fireballs rose into the air, cutting red arcs through the air, but they rained down on the enemy's sword carts.
Puff puff!
The fireballs flew into the knife cart array one after another, and the fireball filled with fire oil fell on the knife cart, and after being pierced by the sharp blade on the knife cart, the fire oil immediately splashed and scattered all over the ground, and it burned even more vigorously.
Under the support of the fire oil bombs, the knife carts made of solid wood gradually burned, causing chaos in the saber cart formation of Cao Junzhong, scattering and fleeing.
The originally fierce and unstoppable knife car array was instantly burned into a sea of fire and smoke under the attack of the fire oil bombs that roared from the sky.
On the battlefield, the sound of war drums, horns, shouts of killing, the sound of gold and iron, and the sound of screams...... All kinds of sounds are mixed together, like waves, filling the sky and the earth.
Under the banner of Cao Jun, Cao Cao straightened up, staring blankly at this melee that was no longer completely under control, and then slowly raised his head and looked into the night sky opposite.
The Hao army on the opposite side did not light a torch, so it was impossible to see Haobai's handsome flag clearly.
As a matter of fact, the battle of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, which was long beyond the field of vision, was no longer able to play its due role by relying on the command of the banner, so Hao Bai simply gave up the banner, as long as the officers and men of all units strictly followed the established operational strategy.
Cao Cao's heart swelled with boundless tiredness and sadness, this battle, he was going to lose, and it was a great loss of vitality.
"Beat the drums, the whole army assaults, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!" Cao Cao raised the sword in his hand high, his beard fluttering in the firelight, his eyes showed a look of grief and indignation, and he roared hysterically.
Haobai raised his spear high and shouted: "Flatten the enemy camp and capture Cao Cao alive!"
The battle had lasted more than two hours since its inception, and eventually evolved into a decisive battle in which hundreds of thousands of troops were all committed.
No one who has not seen the war with their own eyes can describe its grandeur and tragedy in words, and those who have heard it cannot imagine what a bloody scene it was.
The land of the wasteland was soaked in blood, so much so that the soldiers felt like they were stepping on a muddy road that had just rained, and their boots made a clattering sound, and the visceral and dust mixed together gave off a fishy stench.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing tore through the silence of the night, and the two sides fought until the first rays of dawn in the east were rising.
Zhao Yun went straight into the formation of the Cao army, invincible, his army was killed all the way, and the Cao army on the front line in the middle had collapsed on the whole line.
"Withdraw, lord!" said Cheng Yu beside Cao Cao in a low voice.
The morning sun shone on Cao Cao's fluttering hair, and there were wisps of light, and Cao Cao looked extremely haggard and old overnight.
After a long time, he raised his head bitterly, looked at Cheng Yu, and said with difficulty: "I regret not listening to your words, this is a certain mistake." ”
Cheng Yu was about to say something to comfort, but Cao Cao had already regained his spirits and said in a deep voice: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, withdraw the troops!"
Bang Bang Bang!
Among the Cao army, the sound of the withdrawal of troops swept across the battlefield like a hurricane, announcing the complete defeat of the Cao army.
The next moment, whether they were willing or unwilling, hundreds of thousands of Cao army soldiers instantly scattered and fled, and the banner of Cao Jun's Chinese army was also rolled upside down and headed west.
Cao Cao is fleeing, and the Hao army is chasing.
Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou led the army and rushed towards the direction of Cao Jun's Chinese army banner.
Everyone knows very well how important Cao Cao is.
If Cao Cao can be captured alive, the entire Cao Tong region will fall apart, and Haobai can envelop Cao Cao and take advantage of the victory to capture Xudu.
Soon, several generals caught up with Cao Jun, the dust was like smoke, Zhao Yun and Wen Chou jumped on horses and held guns, like two gods, majestic, and led the crowd to kill.
Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, was stunned, raised his war spear, and roared: "Tiger and leopard cavalry, return to the horse to attack!"
The fierce tiger and leopard rider reined in his horse again, raised the steel sword in his hand, intercepted the Hao army, and resisted desperately.
Not far ahead, Cao Cao and a group of strategists were fleeing in embarrassment under the escort of hundreds of pro-troops.
"Where is Cao Cao, Yan Liang is here!"
A group of men and horses in Hengli came out, and it was Yan Liang who cleaned up Cao Ren and Li Dian's night attack army.
Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, and hurriedly ordered a general to lead the army to meet the battle.
Thousands of Hao troops took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, killing Cao Cao in a panic like a lost dog, and fled in embarrassment, leaving Cao Hong and Xu Chu to lead less than 100 personal soldiers to follow and flee.
Cao Hong said: "Lord, the chasing soldiers are far away, you can take a rest." ”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "What are you resting at this time, hurry up, get out of here quickly!"
