Great Military Division

Chapter 310 Cao Chun is amazed!The same cavalry, why is the gap so big?
Yuzhou, Chen County.

On the way to Changping County.

A long line, meandering slowly, clear ruts spread far away.

Most of them are composed of carriages carrying goods, more than [-] vehicles, mighty and magnificent.

There are cavalry guards on both sides of it, and from time to time scouts flying horses rush back to report the situation in front of them, looking extremely careful.

In the middle of the team, Cao Chun rode his horse and followed slowly, with a slight sullen look in his brows.

Because, since they left Xinji and passed Chenting, enemy troops came to harass them from time to time.

Although most of them were defeated by them, after all, the troops were too few to pursue in depth, so as not to fall into the opponent's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. In this way, they seemed even more passive.

The most damning thing is that Cao Xiu is young and energetic after all, unable to stand the repeated harassment of his opponents, he simply ignored the military order and led [-] fine cavalry to hunt down and kill him, but he has not returned yet.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, a long announcement sounded from the front.

Cao Chun looked up.

But I saw that riding Juechen came, it was our scout flying forward.

Cao Chun was very anxious, so before the scouts bowed their hands to salute, he waved his hand to interrupt and asked, "How is Zilie?"

The scout nodded affirmatively, with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, General, Cao Sima has already dispersed the enemy army, and even killed a general of Sima level in the enemy army, and is currently leading the army back."

call-

Cao Chun breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally let go of his hanging heart: "It's good that he can come back safely! This kid is good at everything, but his temper is too impatient and he still needs to practice. When he comes back, I will definitely take care of him."

"uncle."

A young general stepped forward from the rear and said softly: "Brother Zilie is your right-hand man, are you willing to deal with him? Besides, he has done a great job this time!"

"Humph!"

Cao Chun glanced at the general, and was even angrier in his heart: "So what about the right arm? You are the general's son. If you made a mistake, shouldn't I teach you a lesson? Let alone Zilie!"

Cao Ang nodded slowly: "That's true, it seems that brother Zilie is doomed this time."

Cao Chun is well versed in cavalry warfare, he is the commander of this cavalry, and he is also Cao Cao's right-hand man. He is even more important than Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and he has Cao Cao's trust.

The main generals in this cavalry are all relatives of the Cao family. They are usually responsible for Cao Cao's personal safety, protecting him from being stabbed and assassinated by the enemy, and even performing some difficult tasks in wartime.

Whoosh!
Just as the two relaxed and chatted.

Suddenly, there was a swishing sound of arrows in the sky, which was an arrow that conveyed a dangerous signal for help.

Cao Chun's nerves, which had been calmed down just now, tensed up again, looking for his reputation, he immediately locked in the general direction: "No, something must have happened to Zilie."

"Damn!"

Cao Ang chewed to himself, and subconsciously said: "Uncle, let's send troops to rescue quickly. The location of the ringing arrow should not be too far away, and there is still time to send troops."

The anger in Cao Chun's heart rose to his throat, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the team to stop, the accompanying infantry immediately drew their swords to guard the surroundings, and set up more than a hundred strong bows.

They have experienced more than ten raids and survived. They are used to such things, so they react very quickly and take extremely appropriate measures.

Sword and shield soldiers are outside, spearmen and crossbowmen are inside, with the siege equipment behind them as the core, forming a simple protective formation to protect it from being destroyed by thieves.

"This must be the thief's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

Cao Chun scanned all directions with piercing eyes, and immediately gave a judgment: "At present, we only have 300 infantrymen. If we send people to rescue Zilie, how can we defend the siege equipment?"

"But."

Cao Ang was about to speak, but was cut off by Cao Chun: "It's nothing! At the beginning, Zilie ignored the military order and insisted on chasing and killing the defeated army. Since he made a mistake, he should bear the corresponding price."

"Zixiu, remember!"

Cao Chun stared at Cao Ang with burning eyes, and shouted coldly: "It doesn't matter whether he is a general or an ordinary soldier, if he does something wrong, he will bear the consequences of doing something wrong."

"Although he is of the same family as you and me, I can't disregard the general's military order because of him. Once the siege equipment is destroyed, according to the military order, everyone involved will die."

"do you understand?!"

This one stares and roars!
Like a sharp steel needle, piercing Cao Ang's heart.

He actually knows that Cao Chun likes Zilie very much, and wants to save him more than anyone else.

But
As the cavalry commander, Cao Chun can only take care of the overall situation at this moment and stick to the siege equipment.

Although his gaze was firm, his heart was definitely bleeding, and he could only rely on this hoarse cry to cover up the pain in his heart.

Cao Ang shouted at the top of his voice, "Here!"

Without hesitation, Cao Chun ordered sonorously: "Now you will take over Zilie's position. At all costs, you must stop the enemy army and destroy the siege equipment."

Cao Ang clasped his hands together and said, "Here!"

Immediately.

He reined in his horse and turned around, came to the other side of the convoy, held the iron gun in his hand, and waited for the battle: "All the soldiers obey the order and stop the enemy from destroying the siege equipment at all costs."

All the cavalry responded in unison: "Here."

After a while.

From the front left, a horse rides from Juechen.

It was his own scout, shouting all the way, flying forward:

"Report—!"

"General, there is a situation."

The scout looked carefree, and hurried to report: "Our scouts smashed through the enemy's ambushes in front, and they are attacking our army. The strength is probably not less than [-]!"

Cao Chun sneered coldly, and saw through the opponent's strategy at a glance: "It seems that the enemy army is going to launch a strong attack this time. Brothers, as long as we survive this time, there will be no more ambushes on the rest of the way."

The more than ten raids in the past have exhausted all kinds of strategies, but they still have no effect. Once the team passes Chenting, they will not be far from Changping. In this way, reinforcements from the Cao army can come at any time. There will be no more fighters.

Yes!

Cao Chun became more and more careful, never daring to step away from the siege equipment.

Sure enough, the scouts he had thrown out smashed through the ambush hidden in front of the opponent, and the opponent simply smashed the jar, preparing to attack him by force and destroy the siege equipment.

Have to admit.

Judging from the overall strategic deployment alone, the opponent's general can be said to be resourceful, with frequent clever tricks, but Cao Chun's death without leaving the siege equipment for half a step made his various clever tricks completely useless.

Now, it is the last moment.

Cao Chun is bound to do his best, even if he fights to the death, he must carry it down!
"kill-!"

"Come on—!"

The sound of shouting and killing resounded in the wilderness.

A black line in front gradually deepened, and after a while, it rushed over like a tide.

Cao Chun's eyes were fixed on the front, and a layer of cold sweat broke out subconsciously on his forehead.

The number of soldiers and horses in this army is probably far more than five thousand, and may even reach seven or eight thousand.

Hard to do.
Is it because Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao's soldiers and horses outside the city united?

Otherwise, how could there be so many soldiers and horses!

"Damn!"

Cao Chun secretly chewed.

Although, in his eyes, this army is no different from a mob, but after all, it has an advantage in numbers. With his current army, it is impossible to defend such a crazy attack.

Not to mention!

This transport consisted of more than [-] carriages, and the official roads walked side by side in twos, with a length of nearly seven or eight hundred steps. The opponent could attack more, as long as they could destroy the equipment.

You must know that for such a relatively sophisticated instrument, some irreplaceable key parts, once damaged, mean that the entire set of ballista will fail, and even if you want to repair it, it will still take a certain amount of time.

"What should I do?"

Cao Chun pondered for a moment, his mind like lightning.

An extremely bold idea flashed through his mind, and before he could quickly deduce and demonstrate it, he shouted sharply: "The infantry guards the siege equipment, and the cavalry will fight with me!"

The greatest advantage of cavalry is mobility and impact. If they are treated like infantry and stick to equipment, it is equivalent to using their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, which is unwise.

but
Even if the [-] elite cavalry rushed out, they would not be able to cause too much waves against an enemy ten times their size.

After all, their room for stretching is too small, and the opponent's goal is extremely clear.

For Cao Chun, such a battle is difficult to imagine.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it.

Boom-!
The sound of horseshoes is like the rushing of the Yellow River.

The dark cavalry rushed out, and the densely packed arrows, like torrential rain, smashed into the swarming waves, splashing one after another.

"Come on—!"

"kill-!"

Cao Jun's cavalry's offensive was fierce, but the opponent's strength was too large. Such an attack would not be too much of a hindrance.

"roundabout!"

A wave of arrow attacks ended.

Cao Chun ordered a detour without hesitation, relying on the super-high mobility of the cavalry and the arrows in his hands, he launched a powerful attack on the enemy soldiers.

Although doing so will make the enemy's charge more fierce, it is equivalent to choosing to avoid, but it is much better than forcing the enemy to charge and causing large-scale cavalry casualties.

Just as Cao Chun was leading his troops to make a detour.

On the mound not far away, General Wu Hao's eyes lit up: "General Zhang is really powerful, exactly as you predicted. It seems that this time, we can successfully complete the task."

"Don't worry!"

Zhang Xun was staring at the battlefield with burning eyes.

Although Cao Jun's cavalry's reaction was within his expectations, it didn't mean that his own army could stop them and completely render them useless.

"It's too early to draw conclusions."

Zhang Xun pinched his short beard under his jaw, not daring to take his eyes off the battlefield below.

The misjudgment in the first battle of Yan County made him clearly realize how cunning the opponent was.

Now, successive raid failures also hinted at him that the enemy general is by no means an easy person.

But now, his ambush plan has been exposed, and he is forced to use a backup plan with a high battle damage ratio. In a sense, he has already fallen behind.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Xun was not sure how the other party would respond, so he did not dare to underestimate him, and treated the whole process carefully.

"General Zhang is too modest."

Wu Hao on the side was more aggressive, pointing to the scene where the cavalry was forced to turn around in the battlefield, and was blocked from the side by the spearmen who had already prepared, he laughed wildly in his heart:

"look!"

Wu Hao couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "They really want to go around and back, cooperate with the infantry stationed in the equipment, and attack front and back. This step is all within your control."

"I really don't believe it!"

Wu Hao gritted his teeth and clenched his iron fists tightly: "Let's join forces, there are at least 8000 people, plus the Yellow Turban deserters you collected, the total strength exceeds [-], so there is no reason to be invincible."

"Where is that elite infantry?"

Zhang Xun's consideration is more comprehensive, and he can always think of other factors.

"You mean trapped in camp?"

Wu Hao frowned and asked tentatively.

"kindness."

Zhang Xun nodded: "Where are they currently?"

Wu Hao patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, General Zhang. According to your order, I will send people to harass their convoys transporting equipment in batches. Even if you are trapped in the camp, no matter how good you are at fighting, you will definitely not be able to catch up in a short time."

After Zhang Xun was defeated, he summed up his experience and lessons.

Especially for the elite infantry, it is necessary to inquire in many ways to grasp its laws.

Surprisingly found.

Although the opponent is strong in combat, their weapons and equipment are transported by another convoy. As long as their infantry are not allowed to wear weapons and equipment, even if they cannot be moved, they can still delay their marching speed and buy time for the army.

In fact, it is perfectly possible to wear battle armor and march in the camp, but this will greatly reduce the marching speed. Even if you can really rush to the battlefield, fighting with such a posture does not have much chance of winning.

Zhang Xun is worthy of being Yuan Shu's tent, the only veteran who is proficient in the art of war and formation.

He knew that his soldiers had absolutely no chance of winning if they fought against the trapped camp head-on, so he changed his thinking and adopted harassment tactics to delay the support of the trapped camp.

"Where are the scouts?"

Zhang Xun was worried, and asked again: "Can it be spread out? Especially the rear of our army, don't be attacked by Cao Cao's troops."

Wu Hao was a little impatient: "Don't worry, all the scouts have been scattered, not only in the rear of our army, but also in the surrounding areas, there are scouts from our army. If there is any trouble, we will report it as soon as possible."

call-

Only then did Zhang Xun secretly heave a sigh of relief, and focused more on the battlefield: "Order a strong attack, success or failure depends on it."

Wu Hao was full of confidence, and said sonorously, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

At this moment, in the battlefield.

Cao Chun made successive detours, but was hindered by a group of spearmen.

The opponent seemed to rush forward in a swarm, as if going all out, but at the rear of the army, there was a rigorous array of spearmen guarding against death, as if putting on a thick layer of armor for the charging soldiers.

Although there were quite a few [-] cavalry, if they wanted to break through such a spear formation, it would be no different from seeking death. After all, the opponent's formation method implied the sharpness of the long snake formation.

If he charges recklessly, he will inevitably fall into a stalemate, and the opponent's wings will definitely sweep towards him like a snake's head and snake's tail, completely encircling himself in the formation.

Cavalry surrounded by infantry?

If it gets out, people will laugh it off!

Cao Chun saw through the murderous intentions of the opponent's array at a glance, and felt the opponent's viciousness deeply. He only hated that the bow and arrow in his hand had been exhausted in the past few days of raids. bloody way.

Looking out!

but see
His own sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen have already started fighting with the enemy.

However, this extremely long formation weakened the depth and thickness of the formation. When the sword and shield soldiers were torn open, it was difficult to form an effective filling, and the enemy cut into the carriage.

"Why is there an iron ball on it?"

"This is also an iron ball, it can't be destroyed at all."

"Then keep looking, we must find the siege equipment."

"Go find it!"

"."

puff!puff!puff!
Swords, lights, swords and shadows, blood flowed into rivers.

As if it was just the blink of an eye.

Scores of soldiers lay down on the ground, and the other party looked like a mad dog, rushing towards the carriage desperately, constantly rummaging for the exact location of the siege equipment.

Cao Chun was so anxious that he gritted his teeth: "Go, go back, pull out the beacon truck and light it, and ask for help!"

He seemed to have given up the strategy of raiding from the rear, and could only passively detour to help the infantry, trying to delay enough time to wait for rescue from Changping.

After a while.

The wolf smoke billowed straight into the sky.

On the mound, Wu Hao raised his finger to the beacon, and laughed wildly, "Haha, General Zhang, look, the beacon is rising, which proves that they can't hold it anymore."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xun also breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was completely relieved: "If we can really destroy the siege equipment, we will return to Changping, and the death penalty will definitely be avoided."

Both armies were coaxed by Cao Cao and delivered wrong information, which led to the defeat of the whole army and the capture of 4 to [-] people. It is not too much to behead a hundred times.

Ever since Zhang Xun received Yuan Shu's military order, he began to make careful arrangements and kept probing. Until now, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that he could save his life.

but
Not long after Zhang Xun relaxed his vigilance.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, a long-lasting report sounded from the northwest direction.

Zhang Xun turned his head to look.

At the end of the field of vision, a torrent of smoke and dust is rolling towards this side.

In Zhang Xun's horrified eyes, his own scout galloped forward, his expression panicked, and he didn't even care to salute, so he raised his finger to the torrent of smoke and dust:
"General, something is wrong."

"To the northwest, there are enemy cavalry coming."

Zhang Xun had already expected it, and his expression was full of fear, but he kept as calm as possible, and hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers and horses does the other party have? Who is the leader of the army?"

"do not know."

The scout shook his head, his throat rolled, and he swallowed forcefully: "It's densely packed, all of them are cavalry, at least there should be six or seven thousand people, right?"

"Oh, right!"

The scout seemed to hear something, and hurriedly said: "On one of the big flags, the word Lu is written!"

Wu Hao frowned, and couldn't help being surprised: "Lu? Who is this?"

Zhang Xun suddenly realized: "Could it be Lu Bu?"

Wu Hao was stunned: "The bravest Lu Bu in the world?"

"Apart from him, who else?"

"Damn!"

Wu Hao stared, gritted his teeth, and was terrified in his heart: "Didn't Lu Bu's wolf cavalry be established just now? Why did they enter Yuzhou at this time?"

"General!"

Wu Hao looked up at Zhang Xun: "What should we do?"

Zhang Xun took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "What else can we do? In plain warfare, cavalry is king. Let's destroy this army first, then use the carriage as a cover, and then start dealing with it."

Wu Hao nodded affirmatively: "OK!"

Immediately.

He turned his head and ordered the messenger: "Order! Destroy the enemy army as quickly as possible."

The messenger cupped his hands: "Here!"

Soon.

"The general has an order to destroy the enemy army as quickly as possible!"

"The general has an order, the fastest"

"."

Cao Chun, who was fighting fiercely, felt different when he heard the voice.

According to normal circumstances, such an order is unnecessary in the case of an absolute advantage.

Unless, there are special circumstances, it may be required to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

subconsciously.

Cao Chun looked up into the distance.

Billowing smoke and dust filled the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And in the billowing smoke and dust, a large flag with black characters on a yellow background can be vaguely seen, waving in the wind, and the huge "Lv" character is particularly conspicuous, boosting the morale of the army.

How could Cao Chun not know that Cao Cao invited Leopard Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry to enter Yuzhou to assist in the battle, but he couldn't believe that the other party came so quickly and by such a coincidence.

This proves.
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor received the memorial, he dispatched elite leopard riders and wolf riders from Nanyang to Yingchuan, and rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible!

"brothers!"

Cao Chun killed an enemy soldier with one shot, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "The reinforcements from the imperial court are coming, everyone must hold on, and must defend the siege ballista!"

Cao Jun's morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted in unison: "Kill!"

Even so, Cao Chun still did not dare to relax his vigilance.

After all, no matter how elite the wolf cavalry and leopard cavalry are, they are still cavalry in the final analysis. Once the opponent's formation turns around, it is not as easy as imagined to break through such obstacles.

When peeping.

really!

The spearmen in the rear lined up quickly, and the cold spearmen pointed to the outside. The entire battlefield was like a long hedgehog, full of barbs on the outside, and gnawed away on the inside.

"Lu Bu, Huang Zhong!"

"You must break the formation!"

Cao Chun was so anxious that he kept praying in his heart.

Boom-!
The sound of the earthquake became more and more intense, as if it was exploding in the ears.

Sure enough, Lu Bu did not charge lightly, but divided his troops in a roundabout way, and used bows and crossbows to carry out long-distance attacks. Even Cao Chun, who was surrounded by the inner layer, could clearly hear the dull puffing sound, which was the arrow piercing. The terrible sound of entering flesh.

puff!
Cao Chun stabbed an enemy army to death with one shot, and took advantage of the situation to glance across the sea of ​​soldiers, looking at the spear formations outside, and the fine cavalry who circled around and attacked with bows and crossbows.

Although it is not too difficult for cavalry equipped with the three treasures of equestrianism, the riding and shooting skills of the peripheral wolf cavalry, whether it is movement, strength, or angle, are simply smooth and pleasing to the eye.

The arrows attacked and killed one after another, and the rhythm of the attack was controlled just right, so that the formation and fighting will of the peripheral spearmen, as their bodies completely collapsed, splashed hideous blood.

The spear array, which was four layers thick, was rapidly thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even with the detour of the wolf knight soldiers, the opponent didn't even have a gap to make up for.

Great!

It's amazing!

Why is there such a big gap between the same cavalry?
