I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254
A group of soldiers of the Modao Army attacked without hesitation, slashing mechanically without any fancy tricks, Cao Hong was very powerful, and with his own bravery, he repelled several attacks abruptly, and the Modao Army fell to the ground Soldiers, blood flowed like a river.

But the Mo Dao Army remained unmoved at all, and rushed forward one after another, risking their lives and blood for blood. Finally, under the wave after wave of Mo Dao Army's fearless attacks, Cao Hong finally succeeded. Unable to hold on any longer, the knife wounds on his body were dripping with blood, turning him into a bloody man.

After struggling to repel another wave of Modao soldiers, Cao Hong held the long sword with trembling hands, panting heavily, as if he was at the end of his battle.

Seeing that he had no hope of living, Cao Hong yelled to the south: "Mr. Cao, I will follow you in the future!" After saying that, he pulled out his sword and resolutely killed himself. He fell straight on the ground with his eyes wide open. , obviously dying with peace in his eyes.

Cao Cao's clan general fell, and the remnants of Cao's army behind him were all killed in battle, and none of them surrendered.

Guan Yu sighed deeply, and said solemnly: "With the ceremony of a prince, let's be buried in Dangshan."

After a short rest, Guan Yu rushed towards Pengcheng without stopping. Cao Hong's desperate resistance did hinder Guan Yu's speed to go south to a certain extent, and it took half a day to completely wipe out Cao Hong's remaining troops. Guan Yu was naturally anxious, so he He first led [-] cavalry to gallop to Pengcheng State overnight.

…………

"My lord, I found Cao Jun's brigade 5 miles east of Yongcheng. It seems that there are at least [-] to [-] people. They are marching eastward rapidly, and there are still a large number of luggage behind them. They should be grain and grass." Li Shimin's scout army Finally found Cao Jun's whereabouts.

The cavalry led by Li Shimin also rushed all the way, chasing quickly, and finally found Xia Houyuan's rear army and its baggage team in Yongcheng, east of Qiao County.Originally, food, supplies, and some family members marched slowly, so it was no surprise that they were caught up.

"Okay... Zilong can lead [-] elite cavalry to attack from behind, bypass the enemy's luggage, intercept and kill the enemy's main force, and defeat this group of enemies in one fell swoop." Li Shimin immediately ordered.

Li Shimin led a cavalry team of more than 6. On the Central Plains, the impact and lethality are beyond doubt, so there is nothing too fancy, just chase and kill.The reason why I kept [-] is because I want to catch up with the fish that slipped through the net.

"Promise! The last general takes orders." Zhao Yun held up his spear and shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, draw out your horizontal sabers and follow me to attack, kill!"

"Ho Ho Ho..." Tens of thousands of soldiers drew out their gleaming horizontal knives, and under the leadership of Zhao Yun, thousands of horses galloped towards Cao Jun with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Boom..." A loud voice came from a distance, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground, which startled the birds in the dense forest and fled in all directions.Xia Houyuan immediately stared at him with a solemn expression. According to his years of military experience, there should be a large group of cavalry attacking.

At a distance of thirty miles, the cavalry rushed to kill, and they rushed over within the time of a cup of tea.The huge vibration of the cavalry's charge naturally alarmed Cao's army very quickly, arousing Xia Houyuan's vigilance.

Immediately, he stood on the hillside on his horse and shouted: "The whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy..."

After a short period of confusion, under the organization of the lieutenant general, the formation soon began to form. The soldiers of the brigade assembled quickly. Cao Jun was well-trained, so although he was a little flustered at first, he was still organized in an orderly manner.

Xia Houyuan was very decisive. On this kind of plain, facing tens of thousands of enemy cavalry charging, the only way is to form a defensive battle formation and block the speed of enemy cavalry charging with flesh and blood. Once the cavalry charging is stopped, the next step will be cruel It's a fierce battle, the cavalry is tall and big, and the target is also big, so close combat is not dominant.

Just as Cao Jun hurriedly formed a circular defensive formation of tortoise shells, the main force led by Zhao Yun had already reached the front. Zhao Yun saw that Cao Jun was prepared, so he immediately adopted the strategy of outflanking the two wings and making a surprise attack in the middle, and killed them.

Immediately, the 1000 troops fanned out, and the [-] main forces of the Chinese army continued to charge non-stop. When they were approaching, more than [-] vanguard cavalry took out thick javelins from their backpacks behind them. And inertia, struggling to throw out.

The thick javelins roared in the air, and hit the layers of thick shields in front of the enemy's formation. The javelins thrown by the cavalry were used to break through the enemy's defense head-on. , the damage is also huge.

"Shhhhhhhh..." Javelins pierced through the enemy's shield with ease, and immediately the enemy blocking the front was killed. The huge inertia opened a huge gap in an instant, and the seemingly solid front The shield armor protection was also riddled with holes.

Zhao Yun didn't delay for a moment, and immediately led his troops to enter along the gap, and the [-] troops behind him also quickly advanced, covering and killing in.

Seeing that the first layer of defense had been breached, Xia Houyuan, who was standing in the formation, immediately waved the command flag, and immediately stepped forward behind the shield soldiers, and the soldiers with long halberds swarmed up, standing horizontally with long halberds, pointing obliquely at the Bingzhou army.

After rushing through the first layer of defense, the impact speed of the cavalry was indeed a bit slower, but seeing the iron halberds protruding from the thousands of long-halberd soldiers in front of the formation, the cavalry charging towards them were not afraid at all, and swung their knives to cut off the spear head, and then Roll over with the trend.

Of course, some soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who were unable to react in time were pierced through by the halberd and fell on the battlefield.However, there are many soldiers in Bingzhou, and Cao Jun is not very strict. After paying some price, he broke through Cao Jun's second defense. Of course, the speed of the cavalry's impact was much slower.

At this time, Xia Houyuan released his final trump card, that is, the armored soldier with a long knife rushed into the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army. cavalry.

But at this time, the cavalry on the two wings had already outflanked, and the impact was huge, and they soon slammed into Cao Jun's formation. Cao Jun's turtle-shaped formation was used to defend against the enemy's encirclement, and each side had the same defensive configuration. , with skillful coordination and impressive power.

In this way, Xia Houyuan, relying on a relatively complete defensive formation, forcibly entangled with Zhao Yun's [-] cavalry. The two armies fought hand-to-hand, and it turned into hand-to-hand combat. Although Cao Jun was at a disadvantage, it seemed difficult to defeat it in a short time.

More than 1 Shence troops led by Li Shimin also rushed to the battlefield. Seeing that the current battle situation is at a stalemate, and it seems that it is difficult to break through the enemy's line in a short time, he can't help feeling worried.

Xi Zhicai at the side saw that Li Shimin was very worried, so he rode over and said, "Master, I have a plan to break the enemy's tortoise shell formation."
