"I think we'll win, right?" Li Dian, who was watching from the back, was more optimistic than Xiahou Yuan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I shouldn't lose." Seeing that the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry did not rush into battle, but avoided it, Man Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

The distance of the battlefield has been compressed to such a point that there is not enough distance left for the Iron Riders to accelerate and then charge into battle. If you only shoot on horseback, you should not be able to defeat the front army in a short time, and the victory or defeat depends on the duel between the infantry of the two armies.

If you win the infantry battle, although you still can't help the opponent's cavalry, you can't win completely, but at least you win, you can go back to make a difference, and you don't have to worry about being pursued by the enemy. If you lose...... Manzhong felt a chill in his heart, and the consequences made him dare not think about it.

Carrying the expectations of countless people, the two strong soldiers finally collided together. All of a sudden, all the sounds on the battlefield seemed to have disappeared, the roar of the galloping horses, the roars of the soldiers on both sides, the neighing of long arrows, the passionate sound of war drums, and the desolate sound of bull horns...... All gone, a silence. In the depths of everyone's consciousness, only the sound of the crash remained, and the earth-shattering waves crashed against the huge reef with a deafening loud sound.

"Boom!" The axe sword was swung into a huge arc, carrying the momentum of the rushing ferocity, and slammed into the shield on the opposite side.

As soon as they came into contact, the Northern Frontier Army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. With less than half of the opponent's number, they actually rushed head-on into Cao's phalanx.

The giant shield used in the army is quite strong, and the materials used are the strongest birch and other hardwoods, which are quite resistant to blows. However, no matter how strong it is, its ability to withstand it is limited, and if the blows are too frequent and violent, even if the shield itself can withstand it, the shield hand will not be unharmed.

With an obscure cracking sound, the wooden shield was smashed into a huge crack, and behind the crack was the terrified face of the shieldholder, bloodshot from his mouth and nose.

The wooden shield is intact, and the shield hand is not much stronger. The wooden shield is intact, indicating that the wrestling carried out on the shield is not so strong, either the attacker's offensive is insufficient, or the shield hand cannot withstand the huge impact.

The former situation is rare, because the offensive of the infantry in the northern frontier is very consistent, and the closer the soldiers in the front row, the shorter the length of the weapons in their hands. Therefore, after entering the combat distance, the weapons of several platoons of soldiers in the front army will fall on the same target at the same time.

The people who serve as shield bearers are certainly strong people, but how can they be weak people who can be selected by Gao Shun as a striker? So it's no surprise that this momentum is devastating.

As soon as the gap in the shield array opened, Cao's offensive came to an abrupt halt, and with the sound of a huge collision, the queues of both the enemy and us instantly changed shape.

The Cao soldiers, who rushed forward, fell screaming, and saw in disbelief the enemy's swords and axes being pulled out of their bodies. With a flash of blood, he slashed at his companions. Immediately afterward, he heard his companion's screams and saw his companion's body fall beside him.

At this time, the spearmen behind the shield finally reacted, and they raised their spears in their hands and stabbed them with great force, as if they were annoyed and angry.

Although they did not look down, they had the feeling that they were on their backs, the gaze of their fallen comrades. In the previous battle of arrows, the shield-bearer protected his comrades behind him; However, in this hedge, the spearmen were unable to reach out their spears in time to protect their comrades in front of them.

In fact, it's not that they weren't prepared, but they didn't expect that the seemingly jagged formation on the opposite side would be so fast and fierce as soon as it was launched!

The smooth attack of the forward encouraged the whole army, and the sky-high battle horn sounded again, urging the soldiers of the forward battalion to attack like a tide. And the Cao army under the command of Xiahou Yuan was not to be outdone. The battle entered the most intense climax at the beginning!

The soldiers squeezed their opponents with their shields face to face, slashing and stabbing each other with knives, axes, and spears between the shields and their arms. There were people screaming and falling, but the arrays on both sides refused to take half a step back. The living stepped on the corpses of their companions, and staggered with swords and spears, and the wounded cried out loudly, but prayed for no mercy.

The soldiers who rushed to the front row were quickly exhausted, but the soldiers in the back row rushed to the front. People are pushing and squeezing each other, and flesh is flying!

Because there was no drag from the queue, the momentum of the Northern Frontier Army was stronger. With this advantage, they squeezed forward with all their might, trying to beat Cao Jun's momentum back.

The Cao army relied on the advantage of numbers, and the elite troops continued to converge from the two flanks to the central army, filling the meat grinding ground at the tip of the arrow.

The time of stalemate was short and long, cruel and bloody, countless lives returned to the embrace of the earth at this moment, countless souls flew into the sky, looking down on their bodies in the wind, there was no hatred, only a deep nostalgia for the world.

The long wind was bleak, the water was swaying, and under the bright sun, blood was blooming, sprinkled all over the earth, and dyed the river red.

In just a few breaths, there were several times the previous casualties, but this was only the beginning.

Xiahou Yuan already had a high opinion of the strong enemy in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would still underestimate the enemy after all. The formation of the trapped army under Gao Shun is not designed for protracted warfare, and their only goal is to use the strongest force to tear a gap in the enemy's array.

In a way, this army was set up purely for attack, so when the onslaught was launched, the offensive was furious and swift. Even if the spearmen responded in time, the shield array could not withstand such a fierce attack, because the two hundred guards and three hundred heavy armor of five hundred heavy infantry led by Gao Shun were rushing in the front row. The excellent iron armor tightly protects the vital points of the armor, and even if it is a spear, it is difficult to assassinate the enemy in one face. When the hoplites broke through the shield array and burst in, the spearmen were beyond the reach of the whip.

If this kind of swarming onslaught tactics is applied to the whole army, it should be said to be a failure. Under Xiahou Yuan's strict command, even if some of the fronts were opened, they would not affect the entire front for a while, and Xiahou Yuan could calmly repair the formation. When the enemy's sharp energy is exhausted, it is time to gather and annihilate.

However, the current battlefield is very suitable for Gao Shun's troops. The Northern Iron Cavalry was blocked on both flanks, and 500 armor soldiers were enough to cover the front of the Chinese army's battle line, with 500 heavy armor as the first edge, and the axe men behind could give full play to their powerful attack power.

Thus, after a seemingly long, but in fact short-lived stalemate, the trap army gained the upper hand. The soldiers of the trapped army are like slender men on both sides of the riverbank, shouting a neat trumpet every time they take a step forward. And the battle horn is like a magic spell, just two sentences, but it makes countless people's eyes blood-red, and they forget to die.

Under the attack of the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the soldiers of the Cao Army were constantly slaughtered, and Xiahou Yuan was stunned, but he was helpless, and his heart was like blood.

This battle was fought too hastily, and after the Battle of Hebei last year, the top brass of Cao's army has been desperately advocating that they have won a big victory, and even Cao Cao himself has been deceived.

Others don't know, but Xiahou Yuan remembers very clearly how embarrassed Cao Cao's image was when Cao Jun fled from Gu Longju that day. Until he walked up to the other party and told him that he was safe, there was still no trace of blood on his face, but his body was no longer trembling.

As a result, after being touted by the staff for a few months, Cao Cao came back to his arrogance and became triumphant again.

According to Xiahou Yuan's idea, the offensive against Qingzhou could be postponed until winter. At that time, although Qingzhou's autumn grain has already been put into storage, its own harvest will only be more if it owns Yanzhou, half of Yuzhou and almost half of Xuzhou, and more manpower can be mobilized to join the attack during the slack time.

More importantly, with half a year of training, he can raise the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command to a considerable level.

It's a pity that Cao Cao didn't mean to adopt Xiahou Yuan's opinion at all, at that time, he was full of ambition, and he only had the great idea of pacifying Qingzhou in his heart, and he couldn't listen to other opinions at all.

In the end, Xiahou Yuan could only rush to attack with this army that was not fully trained and recruited half of the troops, and fell into such a dilemma as he was now, in a dilemma.

………………

"Brothers, kill!" Gao Shun brandished a broadsword and rushed to the front line. Sweeping, smashing, and stabbing obliquely, like a mad tiger. The Cao army in front of him was invincible, and the military formation was quickly killed out of a gap, and countless northern Xinjiang troops squeezed in along the gap, expanding the flaws in the Cao army's formation more and more. His martial arts are too high, even if a few dead soldiers risk their lives to block it, it will not have much effect. Between the opening and closing of the broadsword, when he waved his hands and feet, patches of blood light bloomed around him, and no one could get close to him.

Under Gao Shun's assault, Cao's defense line became more and more crumbling.

If you want to deal with such a fierce general, the best way is to besiege. But Gao Shun was not fighting alone, although the number of the trapped army was smaller than that of Cao's army, but on the local battlefield, the momentum was much stronger than Cao's. Behind Gao Shun, countless soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army were rushing up, where could the Cao army find an opportunity to besiege?

A sneak attack with a bow and crossbow is also a way, but Gao Shun's martial arts are a big problem, without an archer, it is difficult to get him secretly, and if you want to shoot, the crossbowmen of the brigade are still in the back.

The most direct way is to find a fierce general with the same high martial arts to go up and go-for-tat, but there are not many fierce generals in Cao Jun, counting Xiahou Yuan himself, it is three when he is full. And in Xiahou Yuan's army, except for himself, there was no one.

Of course, Xiahou Yuan can also go into battle by himself, but in that case, the guards around him will have to follow. Xiahou Yuan himself is not afraid of death, but he can throw all his brothers into a desperate battle piecemeal, this kind of thing, he can't do it anyway.

"Blowing the trumpet ......" I don't know how long it took, in the anxious and worried eyes of the guards, Xiahou Yuan came to his senses and gently spit out two words.

Looking at the determined gaze of their own general, the guards realized something, and they held their weapons tightly. Every battle must be the first, and Li Yi is not the only one who takes the lead, but his own general is also such a brave general!

The next moment, however, they listened to commands that made them hardly believe their ears.

"Pass my general order, withdraw the troops!"

"General?" The guards' eyes widened in disbelief.

"Didn't you hear? No order yet! Xiahou Yuan was furious.

"But......" The guards wanted to remind their generals how important this battle was! Moreover, with the iron cavalry of the northern frontier, the difference between taking the initiative to retreat and being defeated by the enemy army will not be very big, and there is only one end for the whole army to be destroyed.

"The order to withdraw the troops ......" the corners of Xiahou Yuan's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile that was more ugly than crying, "It was conveyed to the rear army." ”

"......" The guards only felt a breath of air on their chests, and they couldn't say anything. (To be continued.) )
