Chapter 660: The Defeat of the Yangzhou Legion
"The reaction is so fast...... Seeing that the javelinmen threw javelins at them for the first time, Zhang Liao was slightly surprised, but he didn't think so, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, and the javelins could hardly hurt him in the front, but some of the cavalry behind might be a little dangerous.
However, since they had already charged, they naturally would not hesitate at all, and the charge of the cavalry was a charge that was out of the way. Unless it's a feint, otherwise, you must do your best!
"Pressure the gun!" Zhang Liao shouted, and then led his troops headlong into the enemy position. Although there were pikemen in front of them, they were forced to open a gap, and the large army plunged headlong into the enemy formation.
Bloodthirsty, for Zhang Liao and the soldiers under his command, they all have this look on their faces at this moment. More than 3,000 people rushed towards the crowd like mad beasts, even if it was a rain of bullets.
The javelins thrown out did stab a lot of cavalry, but this still did not affect the charge of the whole army, the large army quickly advanced, and the javelinmen suddenly fell into passivity, and a single effort was broken through.
"I'm invincible!" Zhang Liao burst out and took down the long knife on his horseback, as for his previous riding spear, it had been broken in the process of charging. Even if it doesn't break, it will quickly release after stabbing the other party, so as not to be implicated.
"For the lord, fight a bloody way!" Zhang Liao waved his sword, and three or four soldiers of the Yangzhou Legion were killed in an instant, and under his leadership, the light cavalry cut through the side and rushed out of the other side. Not only did it crush the javelinmen, but it also affected the crossbowmen.
"Charge ......" Lu Bu's side, seeing that Zhang Liao had created a fighter plane for her, immediately led the army to charge over.
The bows and crossbows were already in a mess, and there was no way to suppress them well, and Cao Ren had already turned around with the troops in front, but a group of infantry, to maintain the camp and turn back, it was not so fast.
After Lu Bu finished giving the order, he took the lead in charging forward, and the lieutenant general around him helped convey the order, and at the same time, the wolf cavalry began to run one after another. After a while, they plunged into the Yangzhou army, and the crossbowmen could only hold their heads and run well, and in the face of this group of cavalry, they lacked close combat means, and decisively chose to retreat.
The middle door of the rear army was wide open, and in front was the baggage troops, the wolf cavalry had already prepared oil pots, and the cavalry with torches was on standby in the rear of the troops. The front army where Lu Bu was located fought a bloody road, and then the Chinese army threw oil pots, and finally the rear army ignited it, this business wolf cavalry is very familiar.
Thanks to this world, peanuts have appeared, and they have become one of the main oil crops, so as long as you have money, it is not difficult to get enough oil. It's just that this also means that fire attacks or something have become more frequent.
The flames rose and then quickly spread around, and the baggage troops were soon caught in a sea of fire, so fierce that there was no way to rescue them.
After Lu Bu finished igniting the fire, under Zhang Liao's response, he fought his way out, and the large army marched away, leaving behind the raging flames and Cao Ren's roar.
"What should I do?" That night, Cao Hong came to Cao Ren's side, almost all the baggage trucks were burned, and the rescued materials were only enough for the large army for two days.
"Two more days, isn't there?" Cao Ren's original calmness has disappeared, "If you go over and join the Lord Gong immediately, it is estimated that you can support the next batch of materials to come over......
If you retreat now, then everything is over. However, even if she goes to Xiapi now, as the main general, she must also bear a certain responsibility. Maybe, he had just taken office as the assassin of Yangzhou, and as a result, he had to step down.
"Don't think too much, there is no suitable person who can replace you at the moment." Cao Hong replied that if you want to talk about responsibility, he, the deputy commander of the corps, is also responsible, especially Li Tong. Problem: Li Tong was injured and is still being rescued, because of the lack of medical supplies, her condition is a bit bad.
"But why did Lu Bu appear here?" Wei Yan came to Cao Ren's side, "According to the route, isn't her Xia Pi City already surrounded by the general of the Che Cavalry?" ”
"Either he came out early, or it means that the lord did not surround Xiapi City!" Cao Hong replied, "In my opinion, the latter is more likely, but why is this happening? ”
With Cao Cao's ability, he should have been under the city of Xiapi now, and he was ready to be encircled. But since Lu Bu appeared here, it meant that the other party was still marching.
"Report! The sound of horses' hooves can be heard in the distance! At this time, a small soldier quickly stepped forward to report, "Captain Ma Dai has begun to lead the army to meet the attack!" ”
"Damn Lu Bu, you're still here!" Cao Ren immediately put on his helmet and stood up directly with his weapon.
"Don't be rash!" Cao Hong reminded that due to the lack of supplies, they can only sleep in the open for now. The point is that it is surrounded by plains, which is very advantageous for cavalry.
On the horizon, I saw a cavalry unit in the distance, approaching them, and the smoke and dust were billowing behind them, and I was afraid that there would be no less than four or five thousand. Cao Ren was just about to give an order, but he didn't want cavalry to appear in four directions one after another, blocking almost all the ways of the Yangzhou legion. Behind each cavalry was smoke and dust, and there were no less than four or five thousand people, no less than two or three people in total.
"Where did Lu Bu get so many cavalry?" Cao Ren couldn't believe that tens of thousands of cavalry attacked her less than 20,000 infantry, so needless to say, the result must be their bad luck.
"Or ...... We retreat, take shelter for the time being? Cao Hong reminded.
"Me!" Cao Ren wanted to insult her, but in the end, she realized that she didn't have a choice. Looking at the enemy troops getting closer and closer, she gritted her teeth and finally waved her hand, "Retreat!" ”
She didn't want too many of her own troops to fall on the battlefield. Even if she is alone, she will bear all the blame!
The Yangzhou Army was completely defeated, the large army quickly retreated, and many soldiers lost their armor. Until three minutes later, Lu Bu's army gathered one after another, and the number was still only seven thousand, but a branch was tied to the horse's tail, and the branch was dragged on the ground, and suddenly thick smoke billowed out, and it seemed that the large army was advancing.
"I didn't expect them to be decisive, and they actually retreated directly...... Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll already be eaten. The adjutant general happily came to Lu Bu's side. Zhang Liao's troops were ambushed around, as long as the other party met the battle, then while Lu Bu dragged the other party, Zhang Liao would give the other party a fatal blow.
"General, I found a general of the Cao army in the wounded barracks, and the situation does not seem to be ideal." At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report that apparently because of the rout, Li Tong was left here.
"Diagnosis...... ...... cure," the dumb hair on Lu Bu's head shook the person, and then replied.
