Chapter 589 A Cloud-piercing Arrow

"What to do, what to do?" The rampant look on Zhang Xu's face faded, and the six gods asked without a master.

"How do I know, how do I know." Xu Tan was not calm anymore, gasping for air, while looking around in a hurry, it seemed like he was looking for a way to escape.

"Two idiots!" Cao Bao was furious by the two straw bales, raised his feet and kicked Zhang Zhen, whipping Xu Yan: "We didn't lose again, the brothers were just stunned by their cold words, not really lost, this battle is still fought, what is there to panic about?" ”

The two of them didn't think about it anymore, and looked at Cao Bao with blank eyes, trying to analyze from his expression, whether he was a strong and inward-looking support, or something real.

"You ...... Even if you don't learn anything, you have to have a limit, right? Stupid like this...... I'm really angry! Cao Bao hated iron and scolded: "Look carefully, they rushed down from the mountain, and the momentum is fierce, and there are well-known fierce generals like Wang Yu, Zhang Jaw, and Wei Yan, so they naturally fight fiercely." ”

Cao Bao pointed with a horsewhip: "But now they have rushed down from the mountain, their momentum has been exhausted, and their physical strength has been consumed a lot, although our strikers have suffered heavy casualties, but don't forget, the strikers are only eight thousand, even if more than half of the casualties are lost, we still have 10,000 soldiers, what's so terrible?" Besides, although the casualties of the front army are large, they are not half there! ”

"I see." Xu and Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, a heart was finally put back in their stomachs, and they didn't think about escaping.

"The leopard, why don't you send troops up? The front army looks like it can't hold on. Xu Tan looked at Cao Bao, and then at Tancheng on the other side of the river, his eyes were rolling.

"Hmm......" Cao Bao was silent.

The 7,000 soldiers outside the front army were in charge of guarding, 3,000 on the flanks and 4,000 on the middle army. The Chinese army also sent 2,000 people to guard against the water army in Qingzhou. This is a foolproof strategy, he thinks that he has a lot of soldiers anyway, and he can squander it as he pleases. But due to the outbreak of the Jaw Army, the troops suddenly became a little nervous.

It is not enough to talk about being overstretched, but in order to reinforce the front army, it is undoubtedly necessary to draw troops and horses from other fronts. After thinking about it, Cao Bao finally decided to withdraw the troops in the direction of the riverbank. Fill in the front line.

Qingzhou's navy army is actually Wei Yan's hidden fog army.

The army, which seems to be secretive to the outside world, seems to be an all-round force, capable of water warfare and foot combat. It looks like a strong crossbow, but the actual combat effectiveness is the same.

This is the conclusion that Cao Bao came to after synthesizing the information provided by Chen Qi, as well as the information transmitted by Tancheng, plus his own observations. That unit was the only one who did not join the charge, and had been manipulating bows and crossbows in the mountains, and had also caused a lot of casualties to Cao Bao's army.

However, Wei Yan, the commander of that army, was very brave. and famous generals such as Wang Yu and Zhang Jaw formed a trident, stirring up the formation of the front army.

Cao Bao has never seen the above-mentioned people, and he analyzed it from the banner. The person he regarded as Wei Yan was actually Xu Sheng.

Relying on his own strength, Xu Sheng made a handful of thistle terrestris bones, and he was vigorous. The thistle terrestris is similar to the mace, and it is a weapon that relies on weight to win. was opened by Xu Sheng's full strength, if he really touched it, he would die, and if he rubbed the edge, he would be injured, looking at that majesty, it was not much worse than Wang Yu and Zhang Jaw.

In Cao Bao's mind, such a fierce young man must not jump out of thin air, combined with the intelligence of the thought, the answer is about to come out, who else can it be if it is not the rumored fierce general Wei Yan?

Now that the navy has landed, there is no need to stay in place all the time. Cao Bao was still a little worried that the defenders of Tancheng would go out of the city to help the battle, and the two thousand soldiers also had the intention of guarding against the Tancheng army, but after fighting for so long, Tancheng had been silent, and it seemed that there would be no trouble.

Even if halfway through the battle, the guards in the city suddenly thought about it and led their troops to kill it, there was nothing to fear. It will take a long time for the defenders to assemble, and then they have to cross the river, and when they kill them, Que Xuan will climb even if he climbs, and he will attack halfway.

Cao Bao himself didn't realize that his thinking had changed from rushing to solve the problem alone at the beginning, to looking forward to the arrival of the allies and helping him.

The Qingzhou army is too fierce, and he himself is indeed a little unable to bear it.

2,000 soldiers were thrown into the warband, and at the same time, Cao Bao ordered the soldiers who were on guard on the flanks to move closer to the center to prevent the enemy from attacking his position. He hadn't forgotten that the enemy still had 500 light cavalry! That Zhao Yun didn't show up either, in case he was accidentally raided, then ......

Looking at the five thousand soldiers and horses guarding beside him, Cao Bao was slightly relieved, but soon fell into an inexplicable entanglement.

The Qingzhou army's attack was too strong, and he knew that he might not be able to achieve the expected goal of complete victory, in this case, he could only shrink the defense, consume the opponent's combat power with the number of people, and wait until Que Xuan's army arrived......

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little uncertain in his heart, would the military advisor in the other camp, the son of the Chen family, also leave? If he hadn't understood the truth that people had told Que Xuan that his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, would he not have died and not be saved...... Hey? Did I say die? Just kidding, how can you lose, you obviously have an army of 15,000, the momentum is like a rainbow, and there are many people......

He didn't get caught up for too long, because the investment of 2,000 reserve soldiers and horses failed to save the battle.

The two sides were at a stalemate for only a very short time, and Cao Baojun was pressed down again.

Part of the pressure comes from the enemy, the Qingzhou army is like the legendary Yellow Turban Warrior, rushing so fiercely in front, but now it seems that it will not get tired at all, and it is still offensive.

There is also part of the pressure from themselves, the 2,000 soldiers that Cao Bao added in were Xuzhou county soldiers, not Danyang's descendants. In fact, of the 8,000 people in the front army, only 5,000 were Danyang soldiers.

Although Cao Bao is incompetent, he also knows the truth of preserving his lineage, it doesn't matter how many county soldiers die, if he has money and food, he can recruit at will, but Danyang soldiers can't, this is the money for him to settle down. The county soldiers are worthless, and the combat effectiveness is weak, and with the courage of the forwards to fight Danyang Jinjun suffered heavy casualties, the decline in the number of Cao Bao's army was much slower than the decline in strength.

Therefore, it seems that the casualties are not large, but the decline is becoming more and more obvious.

More stress comes from the psyche.

"Big Han!"

"Big Han!"

"Big Han!"

The landslide and tsunami-like shouts made people feel at a loss, and both the generals and the members of the Cao Leopard Army had the illusion that they had become traitors and thieves, committed heinous crimes, and were facing the crusade of the king.

In this kind of war, the momentum cannot be lost in the first place, and once the momentum is lost, ten percent of the strength can only be exerted by six or seven percent, so it is not surprising that the 10,000 army of the Cao Leopard Army was beaten by 3,000 Yulin and couldn't raise its head.

The sound of the hillside made the cavalrymen's blood boil. But they could not move, because the cavalry was under the command of the young man with white horses and silver spears in front of them, and the young general, who had always been known for his bravery, did not make any indication, as if he were observing, as if waiting.

Zhao Yun didn't feel the anxiety of his gaze behind him, especially Wei Yan's gaze, which was like a raging fire, burning all the way to the deepest part of his soul. However, he can't move lightly, this is a fatal blow that will determine the outcome of this big fight.

Moreover, the decision of whether to dispatch or not does not depend on him, but on Wang Yu, who is fighting on the front line, and the intelligence of the scouts from afar.

In the distance, the enemy's formation had begun to shrink, and the battle was becoming more and more fierce.

After the momentum provided by the hillside was exhausted, the Qingzhou army had to pay the price of blood for every inch of advance. But the blood-stained road back has always been unrelentingly forward, no matter how many people the Cao Leopard Army pounced on, it could not stop them in the slightest.

"Big Han!" The Qingzhou soldiers roared wildly, and the murderous spirit went straight to the bullfight. Due to the desperate resistance of Cao Bao's army, the trident that had been assassinated at the forefront became more and more prominent.

Zhao Yun's eyesight was very good, he saw that the iron armor on Wang Yu's body was stained dark red with blood, and the color could no longer be seen, the only thing that shone was his sharp eyes and the snow-bright three-foot lance.

Xu Sheng's image is much worse, his weapon is a heavy weapon, and there is only one move, which is to smash it. Sweeping, smashing vertically, and smashing into the chest, it was a broken tendon, smashed to the head, and the brain burst on the spot, so Xu Sheng's body was splashed not only with blood, but also with a lot of white, white, green and green things, which looked very terrifying.

Jaw is the most elegant of the three, and his weapon is a gun. Killing people with a spear is not so bloody, Zhao Yun especially noticed that Zhang Jaw's marksmanship is very similar to his own, and the moves are different, but the style revealed between the flashes of the gun is no different, the general sharpness, the general agility.

Now that the war is urgent, Zhao Yun has no time to think about it, but he secretly wrote down this matter, planning to wait for the battle to be over, and then ask the other party carefully.

The resistance of the Cao Leopard Army is getting weaker and weaker, some people have begun to run to the sides of the phalanx, and some people have begun to look back to see if the commander will make the decision to withdraw from the battlefield.

This decline made Cao Bao completely unable to calm down, he was so anxious that he began to constantly mobilize soldiers from the flank guard team to replenish the front, and constantly shrink the formation. At this time, his battle strategy had completely changed from attacking to shrinking defense, but he was still unable to regain the initiative on the battlefield.

As a last resort, he gritted his teeth and transferred another thousand troops from the Chinese army to go immediately, and the enemy's forward was about to break through the array of the front army, and the formation was chiseled, which was usually the beginning of the collapse, and he couldn't help but take a risk.

At this moment, in the distance to the south, a long whistle suddenly sounded, and immediately, something exploded in the sky, emitting a dazzling light, like another round of red sun in the sky.

"Come with me, brethren!" The soldiers in the fierce battle had no time to look aside, but many onlookers were stunned, only Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all, his arm suddenly waved down, the voice was not stopped, his figure was already in the air, turned over, got on the horse, raised the gun, and took the lead in the charge.

"Kill!" Five hundred iron horsemen rushed out of the valley like a torrent, and automatically formed a sharp arrow formation in the gallop, straight into the core of the enemy's formation!
