Ma Chao nodded proudly, hugged his fists towards Cao Cao and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the head of the main general of the Pseudo-Han reinforcements, and the last general is specially dedicated to Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, I accepted Meng Qi's gift!"

Cao Cao smiled and handed the head in his hand to the soldiers in the rear, just after the Wei army's camp had been settled, Cao Cao immediately led the generals into the camp.

After entering the big tent, Cao Cao sat down on the main seat, and the generals were divided into left and right, and Guo Jia stood on Cao Cao's side.

"Your Majesty, General Ma has just defeated the puppet Han reinforcements and beheaded his army's main general, his army must be frightened and demoralized at this time, this is our army's fighter, and the minister thinks that he should immediately attack the puppet Han reinforcements!" Guo Jia suggested.

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao and Gan Ning went out together to ask for battle: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to fight!" It seems that he didn't expect someone to rob him, Ma Chao and Gan Ning glared at each other and stood with their fists folded.

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and glanced at the two of them: "That's it, the first battle was fought by Meng Qi, then this battle will be fought by Xingba!" ”

Gan Ning grinned and hurriedly thanked him, while Ma Chao looked disappointed.

Cao Cao smiled and raised his voice: "Order Gan Ning to lead 20,000 Imperial Forest Iron Cavalry and 30,000 soldiers to attack the puppet Han reinforcements!" ”

"The last will be ordered!" Gan Ning excitedly agreed, then took the arrow from Cao Cao's hand and strode out of the big tent.

By the time Gan Ning arrived with 50,000 elites, the Jinghan reinforcements had already built improvised fortifications, the outermost part of which was a defensive line made of horse-resisting stakes, followed by sword-and-shield-bearers, crossbowmen, and pikemen.

The morale of the Jinghan reinforcements was very low, and the defeat of the 5,000 elite cavalry made them feel that the hope of victory was extremely slim.

After Gan Ning observed the arrangement of the Jing Han army for a while. He immediately ordered 10,000 foot soldiers to advance under the cover of large shields, and at the same time ordered 20,000 royal cavalry to line up around the woods. Another 20,000 foot soldiers pressed in the rear.

At this moment, Pang Ji was in a dilemma. He did not dare to go out of the city to face the sharp edge of the Wei army, and he felt that he could not sit on Chen Sheng's headquarters and be annihilated.

In the end, Pang Ji sent an eight-hundred-li rush to Changsha, and Cao Cao did not order his troops to intercept the soldiers who rushed out of Rongling City.

Cao Cao had his plans.

On the other side, when the Wei army's assault troops advanced to a distance of 100 paces, the strong crossbowmen of the Jing Han army began to shoot, and a strong rain of arrows roared straight towards the Wei army, but most of the arrows were blocked by the large shield hand at the front.

The Wei assault troops continued to advance slowly in a rigorous formation, after withstanding six waves of arrows from the Jing Han army. The forward lines of the two armies were only about 20 paces apart.

At this time, the Wei army's military array suddenly stopped, the outermost big shield was suddenly lowered downward, and thousands of strong crossbowmen showed their figures, and then they saw the arrows as dense as flying locusts roaring towards the Jing Han army, and the Jing Han army, which was caught off guard, fell a large piece when landing.

The strong crossbowmen of the Jing Han army hurriedly returned fire, and more than 100 strong crossbowmen of the Wei army were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground, but the strong crossbowmen of the Wei army suddenly retracted, and hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared and threw the ignited oil canister towards the Jing Han army. Cao Cao had already learned about this tactic from Zhang Liao, and of course, Cao Cao was also very surprised when he first learned about it. However, war is an accelerator of weapons and tactics, and this sentence is still very true.

At the same time, some of the strong archers of the Jing Han army fired again. A dozen soldiers who had not had time to throw the canister were shot to the ground, but the dozen or so soldiers gritted their teeth and threw the canister with their last breath.

Look at the small flames burning at the top. The black porcelain jar that flew over, the faces of the soldiers of the Jing Han Army changed suddenly. Some of the timid people involuntarily retreated sharply, so that Chen Sheng had to hold his sword and shout: "Don't retreat!" Coward, slash! ”

Before the words fell, one by one fireballs rose up on the front line of the Jing Han army, and I saw that the front line of the Jing Han army seemed to have fallen from the mortal world to the Red Lotus Hell in an instant, and the Jing Han soldiers wailed in the burning flames, and the soldiers of the Jing Han army in the rear only felt a wave of heat rushing towards them.

As the fireballs rose and the flames raged, the forward line of the Jing Han army was shaken.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sheng hurriedly ordered the remnants of the 2,000 Jinghan cavalry to raid from the front.

Two thousand well-dressed Jing Han cavalry roared out of the formation, risking the power of the fire oil tank to kill the Wei army, seeing this scene, the Wei army threw hands hurriedly back, and the strong crossbowmen behind the big shield fired arrows at the Jing Han cavalry, for a time the arrows were like flying locusts, and the Jing Han cavalry that rushed to the front were planted on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the Jing Han cavalry rushed to the front of them, only to hear them shouting, the Jing Han cavalry who rushed to the front threw their spears together, and when they arrived, a blood flower was stirred up in the Wei army formation, and the Wei army soldiers fell a large piece, but the Wei army formation did not waver, and the wounded soldiers were immediately dragged to the rear, and some soldiers took the place of the casualties at the first time.

Thousands of strong crossbowmen of the Wei army once again released arrows, and the Jing Han cavalry that was close at hand could not avoid it, and more than 100 cavalrymen fell from their horses almost at the same time.

The Jing Han cavalry shouted in unison, and nearly two thousand cavalry rushed to the Wei army in front of them, and the thousand cavalry galloped with the momentum of a mountain flood.

The Jing Han cavalry slammed into the Wei army's forward line, and a dull sound sounded in a row, and the entire front shook violently, but the Wei army's front was not broken.

The Wei army shouted in unison, and the pikemen behind the big shield immediately stepped forward and attacked the Jing Han cavalry through the gap between the big shields.

However, the cavalry of the Jing Han army must be the last battle of the desperate soldiers at the end of the road, they did not only passively beat, a cavalry soldier grabbed the spear pierced from between the shields, and then shook his hand to pierce the spear in his right hand along the shield cracks, and then only heard a scream, a Wei pikeman behind the big shield was stabbed to the ground, the cavalry of the Jing Han army counterattacked, and the northern army continued to suffer casualties.

The two sides only held each other for a moment, and the 20,000 Wei army royal forest iron cavalry had already outflanked from the direction of the two wings, and the Jing Han cavalry, which was inferior in all aspects, was killed and routed.

Immediately afterwards, 20,000 Imperial Forest Iron Cavalry took the opportunity to enter the Jing Han Army formation, and 20,000 Iron Cavalry galloped across the Jing Han Army, just like the torrent of the broken embankment, the corpses were all over the field, and the Jing Han Army was defeated and retreated, but still insisted on fighting, Zhang Sheng brandished his sword and roared hoarsely.

In the end, the Jing Han army could not resist the rush of the royal forest cavalry, collapsed, and the rout army fled in all directions, encircling Zhang Sheng, who was still trying to save the situation.

The Wei army immediately attacked, killing the Jing Han army to the point of losing their armor and breaking the army, and in the middle of the night, Gan Ning led the army back to the camp with nearly 20,000 prisoners. (To be continued......)
