Chapter 989: The Battle of Raven Mountain (1)

"Command all armies, attack with me at once!" Croce ordered in a hurry.

Immediately, the horn of the Jin people sounded, and 30,000 horsemen galloped out of the woods, rushing towards the battlefield not far away, and all the soldiers looked very anxious, and they were about to fall into a dangerous situation.

A moment later, the 30,000 Jin Guobu cavalry collided head-on with the 10,000 iron cavalry of Ma Chao's personal commander.

The soldiers on both sides fought on a gentle slope, and the Wei army's Xuanjia iron cavalry was as imposing as a rainbow and brave, and Jin **** also performed extremely bravely.

On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky, the blood waves rolled, and the Jin people were constantly knocked out by the huge impact of the iron horse, the Jin soldiers screamed and fell, and the soldiers who had just fallen were trampled by the iron horses in a blink of an eye, and from time to time the Wei soldiers were thrown down by the Jin soldiers and scuffled with the horses, at this moment, life seemed so worthless.

Ma Chao was majestic and domineering in the midst of thousands of troops, and every dance of the dragoon spear brought a thrilling rain of blood, and there were constantly warriors of the Jin Kingdom rushing towards Ma Chao, and then under the cold glow of the dragoon spear.

The fierce battle lasted for about half an hour, and finally Jin **** was defeated and retreated into the woods.

Ma Chao led the iron cavalry to chase the enemy's corpse and tail, and pursued it until the edge of the woods, and after trying to rush into the woods and was blocked, Ma Chao ordered the army to be temporarily dispersed.

At this time, the hillside was full of corpses, and the new green color of early spring was completely gone, replaced by a palpitating bright red, and the air was filled with a dizzying bloody smell.

At the same time that Ma Chao defeated Croce, the battle in another place also came to an end, and the remaining Jin **** soldiers surrendered to the Wei army when they saw that there was no hope of breaking through.

These armies that have been Westernized have a unique characteristic of Western armies, that is, no matter how elite they are, they rarely fight to the death, which is probably due to culture.

After cleaning the battlefield, it was already late, and in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Ma Chao ordered his iron cavalry to retreat from the hills and set up camp by a small stream several miles away from the hilly terrain.

At the same time, Croce and the remaining less than 20,000 men retreated in the direction of Kukan City in the mood of defeat. In this battle, the Jin Guards suffered more than 20,000 casualties and thousands of prisoners, with a total loss of about 30,000 people, while the losses of the Wei army's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry were not small, with nearly 6,000 dead and wounded.

On the second day after Ma Chao led his army to defeat the Jin Guards, Ma Chao led another 20,000 Xuanjia battalion iron cavalry and 40,000 light cavalry in a fierce battle with the 150,000 tribal coalition troops who came to help in the big pine forest forty miles north of Wolf Mountain.

The 150,000 tribal coalition forces were forced into the Great Pine Forest, and then Ma Chao tried to force out the enemy army with fire, but because the snow melted and the grass was wet in early spring, he failed to succeed, and Ma Chao immediately set up camp in the field outside the Great Pine Forest to force this Rus reinforcement.

Just when the war on the Northern Front was in full swing, the situation in the West was reversed.

The officer of the Wei army looked at the dense enemy troops surrounding him, and looked at the comrades who fell in the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, and his tiger eyes showed a tragic color, and he glanced at the obstacle knife in his hand that could no longer see his original face, and the absolute color flashed.

Just as a general of the Jin State was about to persuade him to surrender, he saw the other party resolutely carving himself with a knife, and a drop of blue blood splashed on his cheek, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then solemnly gave a military salute to the other party. The tattered Wei flag fell from the city.

The Minos Fortress, the northwest barrier of the Kangju royal capital, fell after a tragic battle, and the remnants of the Sixth Army and the Kangju army retreated into the Kangju royal capital, and then the Jin State of more than 200,000 troops surrounded the Kangju royal capital, and at the same time, a cavalry team went straight into the natural barrier Raven Mountain in the southwest of Kangju, if it was lost again, then not only Kangju would fall, but even the entire Western Regions would face an unprecedented crisis.

Zhao Yun had no choice but to lead 50,000 Hun iron cavalry to attack in advance.

Outpost in the northeastern part of the Raven Mountains.

This is a checkpoint at the northeastern exit of the Raven Mountains, spanning the valley, made of wood and stone ramparts, and since this is the inner side of the Raven Mountain defensive line, there are only a few hundred soldiers of the Western Regions Legion.

The sound of killing came faintly from the west, and the defenders at the checkpoint did not show the slightest sign of abnormality.

"It's been ten days! I don't know how long the Jin people are going to fight? ”

A sentry frowned and muttered, then picked up a stick and picked up the reed fire in front of him, on which was a kettle.

A soldier next to him said worriedly, "I wonder if we can withstand it?" ”

"There should be no problem!" That said, he looked very uncertain.

At this moment, he saw the water in the cup in his hand ripple one by one, and the whole earth seemed to tremble slightly, and it became more and more violent.

The sentry looked blankly to the east, his face suddenly changing, "No, it's not good!!" Enemy! ”

The sentry shouted in horror and turned to run towards the beacon tower, when a rain of arrows roared, and the sentry and several of his companions fell in a pool of blood, and then the Jin cavalry poured into the outpost and annihilated the hundreds of soldiers of the Western Regions Legion with a devastating force.

General Jin led tens of thousands of cavalry into the valley non-stop, and at this time, the Wei army and the Kangju army were fighting head-on with the Jin army.

"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce!" Cao Renbu ran Chen Shi back and panted.

Cao Ren nodded, looked at the golden **** surging like a tide on the hillside with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "You must hold it no matter what!" Is there any news of the Minoan Fortress? ”

Chen Shi shook his head, "Not yet!" ”

Cao Ren frowned, and thought: "Usually, it is summoned once a day, but now it's a day!" ”

Cao Ren couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

At this moment, an earth-shattering shout of killing suddenly came from the rear.

Cao Ren's heart jumped, and he turned around abruptly, looking in the direction where the killing sound came from, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Shi shook his head blankly.

"It should be in the direction of the valley! Not good! Chen Shi, you stay here instead of me, if there is any mishap of military law! ”

Immediately, Cao Ren led a reserve force of 30,000 and rushed in the direction of the valley.

It should be noted here that the so-called valley is not a valley in the ordinary sense of the word, this valley enters the mountain range from the east, but does not exit the mountain from the west, but slowly ascends, and is cut off by a cliff halfway up the mountainside, but the terrain at the end of this valley is gentle, and can be connected to the main fortress of Raven Mountain on the mountainside.

When Cao Ren led 30,000 reserves to the edge of the valley, more than 10,000 troops in the valley had been routed and were rushing towards the mountain.

If these routs were allowed to crush Cao Ren's own team, then there would be no need to fight this battle. (To be continued.) )
