Chapter 984: Evenly matched
Holding the hilt of the Mo knife in both hands, the Qin army's Mo knife formation, which had been watching the battle for a while, let out a roar with Lu Bu's order, and quickly rushed towards the Cao army.
The training of the Modao soldiers on weekdays is to require them to bulldoze the enemy troops in front of them like plowshares when they charge.
The speed of their charge was very fast, but the distance between the soldiers was very close.
Holding the Mo knife, the Mo knife soldiers let out a shout, and when they rushed towards the Cao army, the Mo knife in the front row also pointed straight at the Cao army soldiers who were besieging the Qin army.
The soldiers of the Cao Army, who were facing the direction of the main formation of the Qin army, heard a burst of shouts behind them, and a large part of them quickly turned around and looked at the main formation of the Qin army.
What appeared in front of them was the Qin army who was flushed red and was charging quickly with a huge battle sword in both hands.
The swords in the hands of these Qin soldiers are very different from the Qin troops who are fighting with them.
Qin Jun, who was rushing over, was holding a long and big battle knife in his hand, just by looking at it, he would feel that those war knives were very weighty.
Finding that the Qin army rushed up from behind, many Cao soldiers hurriedly turned around, carried weapons, and killed the Qin army's Mo knife formation, intending to block the Qin army holding the Mo knife.
Cao Jun, who was holding a shield and a simple knife, and pounced on the Qin army's Mo knife formation, also let out a shout, in order to strengthen his courage.
A group of Cao Jun came up, and the soldiers of the Qin Army's Mo Knife Formation not only did not slow down, but their speed increased a little, and the Mo knife hand in the front row also held the Mo knife a little flater.
Cao Jun, who rushed up against the Qin Army's Mo Sword Formation, blocked his shield in front of him, wanting to use this as the Qin Army's Mo Knife Formation's attack.
The two sides ran fast, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
The group of Cao soldiers at the front, while approaching the Qin army, hid their faces behind the shield, and the hand holding the short spear was also tightened tighter.
With a violent crashing sound, this group of Cao Jun finally crashed into the Qin Army's Mo Dao Array.
A Cao Jun held a shield in his hand, and was shouting and charging forward, he thought that the shield could block Cao Jun's Mo knife, but under the violent impact, he only felt that the shield in his hand seemed to be light, and it was cut in half from the middle by the Mo knife that stabbed him head-on.
Half of the shield fell to the ground, and before Cao Jun came to his senses, the Mo knife that pierced his shield had already pierced his heart.
Holding the Mo knife and piercing through the heart of the Cao army, the Qin army's Mo knife soldiers did not stop their pace, but continued to rush forward, and Cao Jun, who was pierced through the heart by him, was suddenly pushed backwards.
As soon as it hit, a patch of Cao Jun fell to the ground like a piece of hair inferred by a shaving clipper under the advancement of Qin Jun's Mo Sword Formation.
The Cao army fell in pieces, but the Qin army's Mo Dao Array did not have the slightest intention of stopping the pace, and the soldiers were still shouting and swooping forward.
The Cao army that flocked to the Qin army's Mo sword formation was not very small in number.
The soldiers of the Cao army who were besieging the Qin army's Pu Dao soldiers thought that those Cao troops who turned back to meet them would be able to stop them, but they didn't expect that in front of the powerful Mo Dao array, those Cao troops were like being destroyed and decayed, and they were instantly rushed out of formation.
The Cao army, who was besieging the Qin army's Pu Dao soldiers, hadn't even reacted to what was happening, and the Qin army's Mo Dao formation, which had dispersed the intercepting troops, had already pounced behind them.
"Kill!" With a uniform shout, the Qin army, who was holding the Mo knife, pounced on the Cao army.
Some Cao Jun sensed that something was wrong behind them and hurriedly turned around, but what was waiting for them was a Mo knife that pierced straight into their lower abdomen.
There were also some Cao Jun, who didn't even have time to turn around, and were pushed down by Modao.
The addition of the Mo Dao Array made the two sides suddenly have a big reversal in combat strength, and the Cao army, which had a large number of people, was beaten a little dazed for a while.
But after all, the Cao army was numerous, although the Qin army launched a round of attacks violently, the Cao army, which quickly stabilized its position, launched a counterattack against the Qin army after the Mo Dao array stopped the charge.
Holding a large shield, a Cao soldier pulled out a short spear from the corpse of a Qin soldier he had just stabbed to death, and howled and pounced on a Qin soldier who was fighting with Cao Jun with a Mo knife in both hands.
was about to rush to the front of the Qin army, and the soldiers of the Cao army raised their short spears and stabbed them into the back of the Qin army's neck.
The short spear had just been raised, and before he had time to pierce down, he had already felt that Qin Junmo's knife hand turned around sharply, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed at the top of his head.
The Mo knife was accurate and fierce, and Cao Jun saw a flash of the knife in front of him, and the sharp and heavy Mo knife had already slashed into his head.
The Mo knife slashed at Cao Jun's head, accompanied by a puddle of blood, and half of Cao Jun's head was actually split by a knife.
In the skull that was split open for half a year, Bai Huahua's brains and bright red flesh were scattered all over the ground, and the brains in the remaining half of the head that were still on the neck were still beating, and the blood was also **** like a fountain.
The Cao soldier who had only half of his head fell, and his body fell down heavily, but the Qin Jun Mo knife hand that killed him was not idle, after slashing him over, the Mo knife flipped over, and cut towards the lower abdomen of another Cao Jun.
The soldiers of the Cao Army, who were carrying weapons and were about to sneak attack the Qin army, were just about to approach the other party, when they felt a sudden pain in their lower abdomen, and the leather armor had already been split by the Mo knife.
In the split leather armor, streams of blood gushed out, and as the blood spurted out, the intestines of the Cao soldiers also gushed out.
Throwing away the shield and short spear in his hand, the Cao soldier hurriedly reached out and stuffed his intestines into his stomach.
Just when he didn't know that he was dead, and even if he stuffed back his intestines, he would not be able to leave the battlefield alive, Qin Jun, who was holding the Mo knife, had already let out a loud roar and slashed the Mo knife into his neck.
The head tumbled and fell to the ground, and was soon kicked under the feet of the soldiers of both sides who rushed back and forth, rolling on the ground like a leather ball.
On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed and pounced on each other completely regardless of their lives.
The battle was already raging, with soldiers on both sides tangling each other, people falling at every moment, and more people rushing towards their enemies at every moment.
In the main formations of both sides, neither LΓΌ Bu nor Xiahou Yuan gave the order to withdraw their troops.
From the battlefield of the battle, Lu Bu can probably see that although the Qin army has few people, in the battle, it has not fallen behind at all, especially the addition of the Mo Dao soldiers, which has brought great deterrence to the Cao army.
Similarly, when Xiahou Yuan watched the battle on the battlefield, he also thought that although the Cao army was inferior to the Qin army in terms of overall momentum, it was fortunate that there were many people and had been suppressing the Qin army.
The battle continued, and the cavalry on both sides watched the infantry fighting with Ze on the battlefield, and there was a desire to charge into battle in their hearts, and even the cavalry of the Cao army clenched the cavalry short spears in their hands one by one, waiting for the main general to give the order to charge.
knew in their hearts that the cavalry was the last combat force, but neither Xiahou Yuan nor Lu Bu had the idea of ordering the cavalry to charge.
The two of them just rode on horseback, watching the battle on the battlefield from a distance, quietly waiting for the result of the battle.
The two armies met before noon, and the battle continued until the sun set, and the soldiers on both sides were still slashing and stabbing each other.
The soldiers on both sides who had experienced the battle, everyone's face was splashed with blood, but they had no intention of retreating, and they all wanted to defeat each other in a battle.
The setting sun hung at the end of the sky, and a trace of residual glow reflected the clouds on the horizon, and the two armies that were fighting on the ground were also plated with a thin layer of blood by the remnant sun.
The air was filled with a thick bloody gas, and the blood on the battlefield gathered in one place like many small streams, and the soldiers fighting on both sides were already a little out of strength, and the foot board stepped on the blood on the ground, and the blood adhered to the foot board and the ground, and there would be a chaotic crisp sound.
The sky gradually darkened, Lu Bu raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Mingjin collect the troops!" β
The pro-soldiers who had received Lu Bu's order responded and hurriedly ran towards the rear.
After a while, the main formation of the Qin army came with the sound of "clanging bells".
Qingyue's golden sound pierced the noise on the battlefield and reached the ears of the soldiers on both sides who were fighting.
After fighting for a long time, the soldiers on both sides were already exhausted, and when they heard the sound of gold, they all looked up at the main formation of the Qin army.
The sound of Mingjin came from the main formation of the Qin army, Xiahou Yuan furrowed his brows tightly, and also ordered the soldiers behind him: "Mingjin collects the troops!" β
The main formations on both sides heard the sound of gold, and the soldiers who were fighting were finally relieved.
The soldiers of the two armies entangled in one place, carrying their blades and supporting the wounded Tongze they could find, retreated to their respective main formations.
Many of the soldiers on both sides of the flank, as they retreated towards the main formation, passed by their enemies.
But the soldiers of the two armies had no intention of fighting the enemy at this time, and they just let the enemy walk by, and they would not launch a sneak attack from behind.
Both sides had already made money, and the cavalry knew that this battle had nothing to do with them, and all of them had a look of disappointment on their faces.
Riding on horseback, looking at the soldiers of the Qin army who were walking towards the main formation, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, prepare more wine and meat at night, so as to reward the soldiers!" β
"No!" With a fist clenched and a bow, the soldier quickly ran towards the place where the quartermaster was.
The reason why Lu Bu wanted to treat the soldiers with wine and meat was not entirely because the soldiers were tired, he also wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who had been fighting for most of the day, had already returned to the main formation, and the Cao army, which had a large number of people, was still dragging heavy steps towards the main formation.
The red sun at the end of the day had mostly fallen below the horizon, and the sky was gradually darkening.
