Chapter 214

Cao Cao's army was also divided into three square formations, Zhang Feng led the left army, opposite Yuan Tan; and the Right Army was led by Xu Rong, facing Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao thought about it and decided to deliberately let Yuan Shang go to this battle. Although this kid was too arrogant, he was Yuan Shao's third son. If he could leave everyone with the impression that his third son was more capable than the eldest son... Cao Cao knew everything about Yuan Jun.

The bow and cavalry were trapped in the camp and heavy steps. Except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, they were left in the central army to protect Cao Cao, and all the ancient brains were left in the left army. The poor Xu Rong was alone and wanted to lead 20,000 people to fight against Yuan Shang for 80,000.

Yuan Jun was the head of the cavalry vanguard, with light infantry and archers in the middle. If you encounter an ordinary opponent, the cavalry can easily tear open the opponent's formation and cut it in. Once it is divided into several pieces, the orders are not conveyed in time. The light infantry behind him will simply surround and kill the soldiers who have lost command like a bargaining.

However, now there are heavy infantry with extremely strong defenses, supplemented by a broken cavalry spear dedicated to dealing with cavalry...

Before he met, Yuan Tan's face was a little unnatural.

My God, I have a personal grudge with Cao Cao?

It would be fine if Zhang Feng was opposite him, but it only means that he was not lucky and did not leave it to his younger brother who was praised everywhere. But why are Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xia Houyuan, Hua Xiong, and Le Jin all on this side?

The heavy infantry who had seen his head and toes wrapped in armor several times could only see the two holes in the black mask, which were probably eye-catching. The scary-looking broken cavalry spears were all shining as if they were stuck in their hearts. There was also the camp of Lu Bu's trumpet, and now they were given to Cao Cao with Gao Shun. They were once 700 soldiers who could fight tens of thousands of black bandits and flee! Yuan Shao fought against black bandits several times but did not have the advantage of the army. There were also the first ones who were the first to be the archer of Zhang Feng's army. None of the soldiers who could fight if they could not beat them were good birds. If they met them, if their horses were not strong enough, they could only wait to be shot into cactus.

Yuan Tan has the heart to die. Isn’t this my life? Looking at Yuan Shang, my god!

Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chunyu Director, and Jiang Yiqu are all there! Look at their opponents, they are just 20,000 people led by Xu Rong!

I want to change sides, can I? Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Shao's golden canopy dancing in the wind with guilt, gritting his teeth and silent.

"If Cao Cao wants to break my right wing, you can place all the elite soldiers and generals here! It's better to ask Xiansi to retreat." Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao's plan, but he never thought it was because of his son's problem.

Shen Pei was reluctant to let Yuan Tan die in the battle. He said unmoved by hearing this: "Lord, don't panic, my subordinates can protect the eldest son from being safe."

Yuan Shao had a golden helmet and golden armor, with a double sword on his waist. If he weren't a little older, he would have been like Zhao Benshan, and he would have been recognized as the Three Kingdoms version of the whole city with golden armor.

"In this way, you will be held responsible. You must defeat Cao's army with dignity!"

The two armies moved at the same time. The central army on both sides did not move, and the left and right wings were launched at the same time.

Cao's reaction was beyond Yuan Shao's expectations. When he saw that the combat power was obviously inferior to that of Xu Rong's troops on the left wing, they rushed to the front and instead arranged the Six Flower Formation. The heavy infantry with two or three feet long broken cavalry spears slowly moved forward slowly like a turtle. Although the power of the heavy stepper was poor, the speed was enough for Yuan Shang to go home to take a shower and sleep before he came back - anyway, Cao's army had not arrived in front of the formation.

"What the hell is this black short guy?" Yuan Shao knew very well about Cao Cao. This old guy basically couldn't speculate according to common sense. He had been a gang of bad water since he was a child. In fact, Cao Cao's idea of ​​stealing women to take a bath was made by him. Yuan Shao was always the one who was caught.

"Did the Cao army know our army's trump card?" Yuan Shao asked.

"It's unlikely, this matter is extremely confidential." Shen Pei didn't understand Cao Cao's intentions, but he was sure of the secret weapon.

Seeing that the left wing led by Zhang Feng was slow to launch an offensive, Yuan Tan was so happy that he dragged on for a while.

Xu Rong, on the right wing, knew that his side was full of infantry, while the other side was full of cavalry, but he had to make a rushing stance.

The Cao army infantry met the Yuan army cavalry. Although the Cao army had excellent qualities and all the weapons were steel spears produced in Yanzhou, they did not have the fear of being afraid. Although the spear stabbed the knights on the horse, the powerful inertia still knocked the Cao army soldiers into the sky one by one, screaming and spewing out blood, and overwhelming heavily on their robes, bringing down a large number of people all fell down. The soldiers in front, which were originally measured accurately like rulers, was broken.

The Cao army still did not give up. There were only a few soldiers in front of the row of soldiers who were more lucky and were not rushed to the scene by the Yuan cavalry, and they stayed alone. The Yuan cavalry in the second row also arrived, stepping on the half-corpses of their own people in front, and the sound of thunderous hooves and terrifying shocked the god of death, and they rushed towards the Cao army soldiers who were also not retreating.

There was another situation of defeat and fear of injury, but the Cao army's losses were much greater than that of the Yuan army. After the Yuan army's two rounds of attack, there were not many front row soldiers who could stand.

In the third and fourth rounds, Yuan's gains were much smaller. The wounded and horse corpses became obstacles. Some Yuan's cavalry had to bypass the obstacles in front of them, but Cao's soldiers could use this inevitable obstacle to effectively form a vacuum that Yuan's army could not attack and intercept and kill the lonely cavalry who had lost their formation.

Slowly, there was no flat open space in front of the right wing of Cao's army. The Yuan cavalry, who had originally galloped like the wind, could only circle the horses in place and deal with the Cao soldiers who were in trouble.

On Zhang Feng's side, he still had no intention of advancing. He watched the formation advance thirty meters.

Shen Pei finally saw what Cao Cao meant. Once the cavalry lost its power, they would be entangled by infantry, and there were mountainous corpses everywhere. Yuan's soldiers who wanted to protect themselves and guard against Cao's horses began to get stuck. When the cavalry fell into a stalemate, that is, Zhang Feng's left wing began to act.

Yuan Tan's side would definitely not be able to defeat the impact of several major ace branches of the Cao army, and would definitely be defeated at once. Yuan Shao's central army would be in a dilemma. I don't know whether it would help Yuan Shang win the left wing or prevent the right wing from defeat.

"Lord, Cao's army has a conspiracy! The left wing cannot be held back by Cao's army! Why not take action?" Shen Pei said anxiously.

Although I really want Yuan Tan to lose face or even lose his life, if I exchange it for the fruits of a battle, the price may be that I cannot pay.

Although Yuan Shao was stupid, he saw it. He nodded. Shen Pei raised a red flag and waved it three times. The central army split into two sides like waves and broke out, rushing out a soldier with light armor. The difference is that everyone was carrying a bow and arrow in his hand, but much thicker, and he was holding it horizontally.

"Hey! New tricks!!!" Cao Cao opened his eyes wide in surprise, although it looked not much bigger than usual.

Giant crossbow!

It is not manpower at all, but giant crossbows launched by mechanical braces and winches.

The four thousand people, led by Han Meng, rushed to the front of the formation in a swarm. Perhaps because there were no reference objects such as rulers, but the terrifying penetration suddenly disrupted the Cao army, who had turned the situation around.

The crossbow arrows, much thicker than ordinary bows and arrows, flew towards Cao Jun screaming. Whether it was leather armor or human body or bones, they could not stop it from penetrating. A burst of blood suddenly appeared in front of the formation. Some crossbow arrows even passed through the bodies of two soldiers at once and nailed to the ground firmly!

Cao Cao took a breath. The appearance of this weapon was probably not even a cavalry.

However, he keenly discovered the weakness of this weapon. A well-trained archer can shoot arrows continuously, but the giant crossbow cannot. The giant crossbow that had just been fired suddenly became silent, and all the soldiers were busy placing arrows and winding the strings.

"Can't wait any longer, let the left wing attack immediately!" Cao Cao signaled to issue an order to Zhang Feng.

Not all the time on the battlefield are the trumpets, drums and gongs. Sometimes the sound of horse hooves of the cavalry can make all people temporarily deaf, so the use of flags is quite widespread.

The messenger rode his horse and waved the flag vigorously. The left wing immediately saw it, as heavy as a newly awakened beast, the heavy infantry took uniform steps, holding up a series of dazzling lights that were so dazzling that they dared not look directly at. Under Zhang Feng's leadership, he turned to attack the cavalry of Yuan Tan's army.

Yuan Tan's army saw some commotion with his naked eyes. This is not the first time that this heavy infantry has appeared. With the leather armor that is like a match between a big tree on his body, the only way to survive is to escape... and surrender.

But the cavalry first encountered not the long spear with heavy steps, but the excellent maneuver power of the archers and cavalry lying on four legs, sending arrows like rain.

The yelling of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yuan's cavalry was still hesitating whether to launch a charge first. The advantages of the archers made them have no time to use their brains. They didn't need long-term loading like giant crossbows. They could shoot two arrows in almost a second - there was no need to aim. Anyway, there were too many people, so they could shoot people with their eyes closed.

The cavalry in front of Yuan's army began to appear. There were not many people who were indifferent to the people around him who were caught in the arrow and fell in love.

The heavy infantry has already driven forward like a tank, like a huge metal monster, crushing all living objects, whether it is a man or a horse, or even a spear, and keeps moving forward without adjusting it.

With the 5,000 heavy armor, the 3,000 trap camp, the 700 was originally very arrogant, and now it can walk sideways on the battlefield.

In the same camp of 80,000 people, Yuan Tan's side was as loose as a sandy city wall. As soon as the battle was met, people kept running away or falling off the horse. The banner, which symbolized Yuan Tan's identity, also turned around and moved backwards, and was ready to escape.

At this time, Yuan Shao's giant crossbow soldiers had just installed the third crossbow arrow and had not had time to launch it.

Yuan Shao sighed and was about to order Mingjin, but he saw that the Cao army's Xu Rong's troops had fled.

The escape on the battlefield is like yawning, which is contagious. As soon as he saw Xu Rong's army fleeing, Zhang Feng's army, which was originally unstoppable, stagnated and began to retreat.

"Haha, Cao Heizi, I finally beat you once!" Yuan Shao thought that he had persisted for a longer time and shouted at the drumbeat.

The central army moved, and except for Yuan Tan's incompetence, Yuan Shang's army also began to pursue.

He defeated Cao Cao's army, which was almost invincible in the world, although the number of people was much greater than that of the opponent, at this moment, who cares whether his victory fell from the world or dug out from the ground!

Thinking of the armor of some generals and elite troops of Cao's army, Yuan's eyes were red-eyed and rushed to chase Cao's army and flee. Of course, the Chongzhang side was automatically skipped. If you want to cut it, you can't cut it...
