, but let Chen Wu and others clearly see that an arrow actually penetrated the soldier's iron shield, and connected his palm with the handle of the shield! And in pain, the soldier with the shield

Turning over, it caused chaos all around, and then a hail of arrows flew in, turning a crossbowman and the spearman who had lost their barrier into hedgehogs.

I don't know if it was God's malice, but the crossbowman died on the spot. The spearman was hit by many arrows in front and back, but he was still alive and kept struggling and howling.

Without saying a word, Chen Wu risked the possible danger and stepped forward directly to end the suffering of his subordinate with a knife. However, he hurried back to the messenger's side and responded seriously: "What Mr. Cao said is right, and I have nothing to do with him."

Words, but please make sure to report this situation to Duke Cao!"

The messenger nodded repeatedly, turned around, left the formation from the rear, and rode away.

But not long after he left, the arrow rain that lasted for nearly half an hour finally came to an end. Chen Wu, who was almost numb, was half heartbroken and half lucky. The heartache was naturally due to the heavy casualties in his headquarters, with a total of four to five hundred men reduced.

He was basically taking a beating for the entire army; fortunately, he could see better than Cao Cao on the front line, and the Yan army seemed to be the last batch of light cavalry to be rotated!

In other words, the precious arrows of Yan's light cavalry were finally shot out! Facing such an elite heavy infantry formation of Cao's army, these majestic-looking cavalry finally lost their last effective means of killing with all the arrows.

In fact, if he hadn't understood this truth, Chen Wu would have ordered the whole army to charge with shields at all costs, and he believed that Xu Sheng on the other side would only charge faster than him... because he could only be beaten passively, and then

The feeling of continuous casualties during beatings, and the casualties getting faster and faster, is really not something a normal person can bear.

Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief, and the entire Central Plains Allied Forces breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost immediately, Cao Cao gave another order, but he said sadly to the only two remaining cavalry units, Sima Xiahou Shang and Che Zhou: "The matter is over. Boren goes to General Chen's formation, and Sima Che goes to General Xu.

In the formation, escort the wounded soldiers to me first, and then immediately join forces, first north and then south, to provide cover for the movement of the military formation!"

This was a matter of course, so the second general immediately followed the order and did it.

Carrying the wounded in the large formation was naturally very fast, but it only took a moment. Then the two thousand cavalry hurriedly went to the north to form a formation, preparing to cover the exchange positions of Chen Wu and Du Xi's second battalion behind them... But this process was

It took another full quarter of an hour.

The reason is very simple. Although he knows that the opponent has no arrows, and he also knows that the infantry formation behind him will also protect him, but facing the number of cavalry that is more than ten times his own, as the survivors of the previous bloody battle in Guandu, these

Cao Jun's cavalry really cowered.

It took them a long time to choose a safe distance next to the large array.

From the beginning of the battle to now, more than an hour has passed, and the sun has already turned far to the west... After Cao Jun's cavalry held their bows to cover, Du Xi, who had already become impatient, took the lead to move and took charge.

Quickly move toward the southwest from behind the cavalry, and then quickly stand still.

Immediately, Chen Wu looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed. After all, the overall situation came first, and he immediately ordered to pass through the cavalry and Du's attack formation and move the formation to the east.

They succeeded. The Yan army's Qingqi, who lacked attack methods and were afraid of the opponent's crossbows, only tried it out midway. After being hit by the crossbows, they immediately retreated, and then watched as they weakened Chen Wu's troops for half an afternoon and moved to the opposite direction.

In a safe position in the middle of the formation, they sat back and watched as the morale-rich and well-organized Du Xi troops came to the northwest corner of the formation and successfully established their formation.

Not only that, because Du Xibu carried a considerable number of crossbows, the Yan army's knights had to retreat further. However, the two thousand cavalry of the Cao army hurriedly passed through the formation and headed south.

Next, it is almost conceivable that after Xu Sheng's troops and Mao Jie's troops in the southwest corner successfully exchange positions, Cao's entire army will take over cover in a very calm manner, slowly heading south, all the way back to Guandu.

Xia Houshang and the chariots repeated their old tricks, using the cavalry to hold their bows to stand in position, and then the hairy steps moved first, and the victory was confirmed... But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, a light cavalry of the Yan army went straight forward. Without enough time to surround the cavalry and shoot, they shot a hail of arrows directly at the head of Xu Sheng, who had put away his shield and was about to move the formation!

I still have a little stock of the dividing line.
