Chapter 407 Qingzhou soldiers with amazing combat power
Although the Xuzhou army and horses rushed up all at once, they were still crowded with people.
Faced with this density of enemy troops, the power of the Red Refining Chariots and the Improved City-Defense Crossbow also increased greatly. After several rounds of volleys, the enemy suffered thousands and tens of thousands of casualties.
This is not over yet. As the soldiers in Xuzhou rushed closer, a large rain of arrows flew up from the army, and then fell straight from the sky to the heads of the soldiers in Xuzhou. It was the shooting of the Sun-Chasing Bowmen.
The projectile, and the projectile that cannot see the target, is quite testing the soldiers' bow and arrow skills. Therefore, Li Yang only dares to let the Sun-Chasing Bowmen do it.
As for the problem of low shooting, this is not a problem for the dense Xuzhou military horses. Even blind men can shoot a lot of people to death.
Although the power of the soldiers' ejection is not as powerful as that of the Red Refining Chariots and the City-Defense Crossbow, the victory is that it is fast and the number is large.
The attack speed of the two instruments was still too slow. In just a few rounds, Xuzhou's men had already rushed to the front of the formation.
The large shield soldiers who had retreated back and forth returned to their positions and resisted the enemy's attack.
The city-guarding crossbows were also pushed back, and the original city-guarding crossbows turned into a group of soldiers holding spears.
They squatted behind the big shield soldiers, and stabbed the enemy with a spear through the gaps of the big shield.
Under the command of the general, the spearmen stabbed in an orderly manner, took out their guns, and then stabbed again. Each time they stabbed, a large number of soldiers in Xuzhou fell.
After the spearmen stabbed about five times, the big shield soldiers and the spearmen collectively took three steps back and repeated the previous actions again.
During this period, there were some casualties between the large shield soldiers and the spear soldiers, but the casualties were more than ten times that of the Xuzhou soldiers.
What's more, the Sun-Chasing Bowmen and Red Refining Chariot behind them are still attacking continuously.
A large number of casualties on the front line made Guan Yu arrive badly.
Even if he knew that if he persisted like this, with his superior force, he would sooner or later break through the shield formation ahead, and it would be no big problem to repel Qingzhou troops by then.
However, in this case, Xuzhou will pay a heavy price, which is something Guan Yu does not want to see.
Just as Guan Yu was hesitating whether to order the soldiers to withdraw, he suddenly felt a shaking ground on his left.
Guan Yu was shocked in an instant. He was so familiar with this feeling.
Although he was panicked, Guan Yu still showed extraordinary calmness on his face and ordered the messenger: "So quickly to let all soldiers withdraw."
After returning from Guan Yu, Chen Deng, who had been following him, said at this time: "The left wing must be the cavalry, and the spearmen can be transferred to defend."
"The military advisor is right. The spearmen can defend the left wing, and there is no need to withdraw troops at all." Cao Bao also shouted from the side.
Chen Deng was stunned. He just asked the spearmen to defend, but he did not stop the withdrawal of troops!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this continues, the loss of Xuzhou will be too great, so Chen Deng will naturally not be unable to see it.
Guan Yu glanced at Cao Bao and said, "The one from the left wing is the Yanyun Iron Cavalry of Qingzhou, which should not be underestimated."
"Hmph! It's just a group of cavalry." Seeing Guan Yu despising himself so much, Cao Bao snorted coldly, "Give me five thousand Danyang elite soldiers and tell them that they will never come back."
"The Danyang elite soldiers are not suitable for use now, but I will give you the command of all the spearmen and soldiers on the left wing." Guan Yu continued to look at him and said, "You only need to be able to stop Yanyun's Iron Cavalry, do you dare to take it!"
At this time, the sound of the gong to withdraw the troops had already sounded, obviously unable to change.
"Hmph!" Cao Bao snorted coldly again, turned around and headed towards the left wing, obviously accepting Guan Yu's military order.
Guan Yu looked at Cao Bao leaving his back coldly and said to Chen Deng: "You go and give orders, all the left-wing archers retreat, and let Danyang elite soldiers display the left side of the Central Army."
Chen Deng was shocked. Guan Yu did not expect to stop Yanyun’s Iron Cavalry!
"General Guan, the archers are still very lethal to the cavalry, look..."
Before Chen Deng finished speaking, Guan Yu interrupted: "For those monsters that even horses are wearing armor, ordinary bows and arrows, they cannot be hurt at all."
"This..." Chen Deng was speechless for a moment, as if shocked by Guan Yu's description.
During the time the two were talking, Yan Yun's Iron Cavalry had rushed to the front of Xuzhou's left wing, and Zhao Yun was rushing in front.
First, a silver light rushed out of the camp of Yanyun Iron Cavalry. Before the spearmen in front of the formation could react, they were nailed to the ground one by one.
These silver lights are the spears of Yanyun Iron Cavalry.
The two consecutive gun attacks were thrown to almost kill all the gunmen in front of the left wing formation in Xuzhou.
Then, Yanyun's iron cavalry instantly changed its formation, and took Zhao Yun as its head, and formed a cone, and inserted straight into the left wing army. Suddenly, people were overturned, and countless soldiers in Xuzhou were lifted up.
"Zhao Zilong, how could he be on the left wing!" At this time, Guan Yu also noticed Zhao Yun and murmured in shock.
"Yuanlong, the army is temporarily left to your command!" After that, before Chen Deng could react, he rode his horse towards Zhao Yun.
Guan Yu knew that with the Yanyun Iron Cavalry led by Zhao Yun, he could even penetrate his left-wing army, so even if he knew that he was not Zhao Yun's opponent, he would still stop the Yanyun Iron Cavalry from rushing.
However, Guan Yu was obviously thinking too much!
No matter how powerful the Yanyun Iron Cavalry is, it is only ten thousand people. No matter how much it is, it is impossible to fight over a few million people. Now that it has such great power, it depends entirely on the charge of the cavalry.
When the horses undone their power and the charge power is gone, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, surrounded by the enemy, will be wiped out on the spot.
Therefore, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry started to charge in an oblique direction. Before Guan Yu could arrive, Zhao Yun had already left the Xuzhou camp with the Yanyun Iron Cavalry.
Of course, it's not that simple either.
After Yanyun's iron cavalry rushed out for a distance, he turned his horse's head, lined up in a row, and started again into the Xuzhou formation.
It was still two rounds of javelins, then turned into a conical formation, and after charging and killing a large number of Xuzhou soldiers, they rushed out from another place again.
After coming here repeatedly, each time you hit a different place, which made Cao Bao, who had been organizing and wanted to defend, turn green, and he hated Guan Yu to the extreme.
‘How can such a strong army be stopped without Danyang’s elite soldiers?’
Just as Yanyun's Iron Cavalry rushed to the left wing of Xuzhou, Li Yang and the others were not idle either.
Taking advantage of the retreat of Xuzhou's troops, the city-guarding crossbow hidden in the military formation was pushed to the front again and began to continue killing local soldiers.
As for the Red Refining Chariots and the Sun-Chasing Bowmen, they have never stopped until now.
Until now, the soldiers who died in the city guarding the rage, the Sun-Chasing Bowmen and the Red Refining Chariots have accounted for as much as 70% of the total losses in Xuzhou, which shows how powerful they are.
Li Yang stood on a high place, looked at the left wing of Xuzhou again, and ordered the messenger, "Let Zilong and the others withdraw!"
The messenger took the order and rode away on horseback.
After all, Li Yang is far away from Zhao Yun, and he needs a commander to walk closer and wave the command flag so that Zhao Yun can see it.
"Brother, I really won't chase you anymore?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile when he saw the messenger running down.
Li Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you think of me? Why are you chasing them? Not only do you want to waste the soldiers, but you also waste resources."
"Yes! It's a little bit more than worth the loss." Zhang Liang continued to smile.
Li Yang glanced at him again before returning to the battlefield. "Sixty percent of the battle can be won because of the advance arrangement of our army. The next battle will be difficult."
Zhang Liang did not answer this, obviously he also knew this.
