Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"General, I do not agree with this resolution. As the general said, there are more than ten thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of people in the city. Have you ever thought about it, once our army is defeated, what will the people in the city do? People in other counties and villages What should we do?" Cheng Yi said excitedly, as a veteran general who has followed Jia Rong for many years, he still has a certain right to speak in the army, although his position as a battalion general is based on years of hard work.

"General Cheng, the two armies have not fought yet, and the number of victories and defeats is unknown. Have you ever thought about how much advantage our army will gain if we win this battle? On the battlefield of Jingzhou, General Huang is attacking Jiangling. The Cao army is the spiritual pillar of the Jingzhou army. Once the Cao army collapses, their morale will definitely be affected, so they will be timid before fighting." Zhao Yundao: "I will definitely not force anyone who disagrees."

Zhao Yun is a former general of Liang Kingdom, his position is extremely prominent among military generals, he has been trusted by Jia Rong for many years, this alone is worth many generals following him.

Cheng Yi and three battalion generals were left behind in the city, while Zhao Yun led [-] soldiers out of the city, preparing to fight Cao Jun to the death.

With no cloud in the sky and the scorching sun in the sky, Cao Zhen was extremely excited. If the Xiliang army was huddled inside the city, it would be extremely difficult for them to attack Hanoi County, and they must always be careful to guard against the reinforcements from Luoyang. The number of the two sides is one to five. If this battle cannot be won, Cao Zhen will directly crash into the city wall of Hanoi County and die.

Guo Huai reminded: "Zhao Yun is a general trusted by Jia Rong. He has fought in all directions for many years, made great achievements in battle, and served as a former general. He must have a certain degree of confidence when he leaves the city this time. The general should be careful."

Cao Zhen came to his senses in an instant. Fighting depends not only on the number of soldiers, but also on the elite level of soldiers and the level of morale. In terms of morale, Cao Jun obviously does not have the upper hand, and the elite level is the same. The only advantage is the large number of soldiers. Compared to five, it is still a field battle.

"What does Mr. Liu mean?" Cao Zhen cast his eyes on Liu Ye.

"This is the best time to defeat the Xiliang army. If Zhao Yun can be defeated, Hanoi County will be at your fingertips. When facing the Xiliang army, our army will also turn from a disadvantage to an advantage. After all, Luoyang is the capital of Liang. As long as the troops come to Luoyang, the country of Liang will definitely be shaken, and the general will become one of the most famous generals in the world." Liu Ye obviously supported this war, if he failed, it would be a big deal to go back and start all over again, but once he wins, it will be of great significance.

Cao Zhen invested 5000 troops.

The banner covered the sky and the sun, and Zhao Yun rode his horse indifferently to stand under the commander-in-chief flag, constantly listening to the latest news coming from the watchmen.

"There are about 4 people, and it is Cao Zhen who is fighting. It seems that Cao Jun is ready to complete his work in one battle." Zhao Yun took off the telescope and said slowly.

"Order, Gao Shun's [-] heavy infantry will be the vanguard, directly tear apart the opponent's camp, and beat them hard, so that Cao Jun can see the majesty of Liang soldiers." Zhao Yun said.

The heavy infantry quickly dispatched and soon came to the front of the battle formation. In front of them there were ballistas covered with cowhide. In such a plain battle, the power of the ballista would be infinitely magnified. Compared with siege warfare, I don't know how many times stronger, it is not difficult to directly penetrate three soldiers in armor.

The moment the heavy infantry appeared, Cao Zhen immediately dispatched soldiers in the same attire, about 1000 of them, wrapped in armor, which shows that Cao Cao's attack on Hanoi County was also planned for a long time.

The camps of both sides are constantly advancing, especially with such sharp weapons as the ballista in their hands, the Xiliang army is advancing at a slow pace.

Cao Jun's front camp suddenly dispersed, and a huge weapon appeared in front of the battle formation.

Having entered the firing range of the ballista, the officer commanding the ballista gave the order to attack without hesitation. At the same time, Cao Jun also shot crossbow bolts that stunned the Xiliang army, and the dense crossbow bolts continued to wreak havoc , The painful wailing of the soldiers was constantly heard in the camps of both sides. The heavy infantry in front bore the brunt. Their elite armor blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows, but the powerful impact from the crossbow arrows brought them out of the old man. After standing up, he found that the armor on his body was also dented, and the soldier's face was pale.

"The ballista?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise. His plan was to use the ballista to defeat the opponent's front line, and then step forward with the advantage of heavy infantry. He could easily disintegrate Cao Jun's front camp, but now it seems that it is not the case. So easy.

The heavy infantry lost more than 300 people under the crossbow arrows. This was an unprecedented huge loss. Gao Shun, who was hiding among the soldiers, also trembled slightly at the corners of his mouth and clenched his fists. The speed completed the assembly, and with neat steps, they continued to kill Cao Jun.

The crossbow carts on both sides were damaged in sevens and eights, and could no longer be put into use again. The current fighting method has become hand-to-hand combat, and the time to really test the soldiers has come.

After countless drills, the heavy infantry had long been accustomed to making changes immediately after Gao Shun's order was issued.

More than 400 heavy infantrymen, who killed Cao Jun's vanguard, turned their backs on their backs. The heavy infantry who had already evaded under Cao Zhen's order faced Gao Shun's heavy infantry.

Both sides were heavy infantry. Even if Gao Shun's team cooperated seamlessly, it would be difficult to kill a heavy infantry of Cao's army. They were also wrapped in armor and understood their respective disadvantages.

There was a surprising scene on the battlefield, but when Gao Shun's heavy infantry faced Cao Jun's heavy infantry, they didn't fear the enemy's swords and guns, and went straight forward, throwing the enemy to the ground, and the heavy infantry rushed up behind them. Come on, skillfully peel off the armor of Cao Jun, and then massacre. Not to mention that Cao Jun and even the Xiliang Army didn't adapt to this way of fighting for a while, is this a war?

A thousand cavalry appeared in Cao Jun's field of vision, which was also the factor Cao Zhen was most worried about. On the battlefield, cavalry is the king who controls the situation. There is an instinctive fear between infantry and cavalry, and the cavalry is the most numerous in Xiliang Army. Zhao Yun is A general in the army must have it in his hands. Before, Cao Zhen included this in the battle.

Three thousand infantrymen appeared, and they faced the cavalry without fear of death. They did not seek to kill the enemy, but to resist the enemy. Cao Zhen's order was very simple, even if all the soldiers were sacrificed, they must stop the cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

Around Zhao Yun, there were only [-] soldiers. The rest of the troops had already gone to the battlefield. Even the female soldiers entered the battlefield after the cavalry.

Cao Jun had a large number of people and was well prepared. Against the Xiliang Army, he did not lose the slightest bit. With the infantry entangled with the cavalry, the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in the direction of Cao Jun.

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Zhen's mouth. Up to now, Cao Jun has firmly gained the upper hand. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Jun will be the winner this time.

"General, there are 1000 soldiers by Zhao Yun's side, and [-] of them are cavalry, so don't take it lightly." Guo Huai reminded hastily.

"Well, Zhao Yun has a backup, how could our army not have one? The five hundred cavalry were prepared for him. The tiger and leopard cavalry are not inferior to the ordinary cavalry of the Xiliang army. Our army still has [-] soldiers and horses. , did not dispatch, do you think the Xiliang Army still has hope of victory?" Cao Zhen asked.

From Zhao Yun's face, there is no trace of fear. It seems that the war has developed to the present situation, which is as expected. Cao Jun is not only as simple as a large number, but can be sent to the battlefield in Hanoi County by Cao Cao. ordinary soldiers.

On the city wall, Cheng Yi nervously watched the battle outside the city. Two thousand soldiers in the city had already been waiting on the wall, and the city gate was ready to open at any time.

Zhao Yu continued to command the female soldiers in his hands. These female soldiers have experienced too little war, especially in such a large-scale battle, it is difficult to support their own soldiers. Even after the order is issued, Zhao Yu can still Look for fear in their faces.

The sound of war drums was still rumbling. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not find a single deserter. The enemy was strong and they were not afraid.

The same is true for generals. As Zhao Yun said, when they joined the army, they were already prepared to sacrifice on the battlefield. It is an honor for a general to die vigorously on the battlefield. There are their deeds.

"Kill!" On the battlefield, there was a constant roar of high spirits. Facing an enemy that was several times their own, they would not make any retreat, even if they took a step forward, they would die.

The tenacity of the Xiliang Army exceeded Cao Zhen's expectations. He thought that when the situation was suppressed, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army would flee. Not only Cao Zhen, but all the princes ignored this point. When confronted, wars are always decided quickly. Whenever the Xiliang army gains an advantage, the enemy will immediately flee and then get out of hand.

"General, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties if this continues." Guo Huai said worriedly.

"Here's an order to let Le Jin lead [-] soldiers to completely defeat the Xiliang Army."

"promise."

The joining of [-] soldiers made the soldiers of the Xiliang Army feel unprecedented pressure. Many wounded soldiers, knowing that there was no hope of survival, directly used their wounded bodies to pounce on the enemy's swords and guns to win opportunities for Paoze. scene.

These soldiers are commendable. They defended the dignity of the Xiliang Army with their deaths.

Seeing that the Xiliang army had been completely suppressed, Zhao Yun still did not move, but the spear he held tightly in his hand already showed that his heart was not as stable as it appeared on the surface.

The Xiliang army once again showed their tough side to Cao Jun. If it were any prince's team, facing such a battle, they might have fled directly.

Even Cao Jun's soldiers had to admire the Xiliang Army in front of them. It was beyond their imagination to block swords and guns with their flesh and blood. Could it be that all the Xiliang Army were dead soldiers?Cao Zhenzhen had some doubts.
