Demon of the Three Kingdoms

"Go to hell!" Cao Chun swung his sword and chopped off the left hand of a Qiang warrior.

Cao Chun led 5000 vanguard troops into the pile formation, only to discover the mystery hidden in the pile formation.

Large and small wooden piles formed a mass formation, which made Cao Jun's soldiers confused about east, west, north, south, and most importantly, the obstacles made of wooden piles scattered Cao Jun, and the head and tail could not echo with the left and right. Cao Chun's command flag It doesn't work at all.

"Swoosh!" Another round of javelins flew towards Cao Jun, and more than a dozen soldiers around Cao Chun died.

"General?"

"Withdraw the troops!" Cao Chun gritted his teeth and drew the arrow from his bosom.

As soon as the arrow rang, Cao Jun who had entered the pile array immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

"As expected of a master of a hundred battles, he has the ability to advance and retreat, and is a difficult opponent!" Zhang Baiqi couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Cao Jun retreating on the high platform.

"Notify the lord's javelin cavalry to attack!"

"No!" The bannerman waved the red flag, indicating that Ma Chao's cavalry could attack.

"Warriors from Xiliang, in front of them is the Yanzhou Army, which is known as the most powerful army in the world. It once defeated Yuan Shao who is surrounded by Hebei. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!!!"

"Tell me, who is the number one warrior in the world?"

"Xiliang Cavalry!"

"Who is the warrior among the Xiliang cavalry?"

"Javelin cavalry!"

"Okay, brothers, follow me!" Ma Chao pointed his silver gun and rushed out first.

"My lord, General Cao has withdrawn!"

"Oh?" Following the direction of Xun You's finger, Cao Cao found that Cao Chun's army had already retreated, divided into scattered soldiers and retreated from the pile formation.

Boom boom boom!A large number of javelin cavalry suddenly appeared on the left and right of Cao Jun.

"Swish, swish!" Xiliang's javelin flew into Cao Jun's front army like a torrential rain.

"Wen Yuan. Bring someone up!"

"promise!"

"Bingzhou wolf rider. Follow me!" Zhang Liao brandished his sword.He rushed up with Bingzhou wolf rider.

"Second round, shoot!" Xiliang cavalry, under the command of Ma Chao, threw the second round of javelins.

"Ah!" Zhang Liao's Bingzhou wolf cavalry lost dozens of cavalry before they approached.

"Third round, shoot!" Before Zhang Liao's cavalry could react, Xiliang's javelins came again.

"My lord!" Seeing that Zhang Liao had lost more than a hundred cavalrymen before he got close to Xiliang cavalry, Xun You immediately reminded Cao Cao that it should continue like this.Zhang Liao's cavalry may have been completely wiped out before the hand-to-hand combat.

"Zhongkang, take Huwei up to rescue Wenyuan."

"promise!"

"Huwei, follow me!"

"Report, my lord, Chang'an has fallen. General Zhu and Taishou Zhong retreated to Tongguan with their luggage. Lord Sikong please make a decision."

"What!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, Chang'an actually fell?

"My lord, Chang'an has fallen. We should hurry to join Wenbo and Yuanchang. It is the best policy to protect the luggage and return to Tongguan."

"My lord, what Gongda said is reasonable. If the Xiliang army sends people to catch up with our army's luggage, I'm afraid our army will return in defeat!" Sima Lang also stepped forward to suggest that Cao Cao retreat.

"Order the whole army to quickly retreat to Tongguan!"

"promise!"

"Brother, Cao Cao's army is retreating!"

"Brother Tie, Brother Xiu, follow me to capture and kill Cao Cao!"

"Javelin cavalry, come with me!" Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao's defeat was obvious, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue.

In front of Tongguan pass, Cao Cao's army slowly approached Tongguan.

Cao Cao was riding on the yellow flying electric claw, and his right arm was throbbing with pain.It was a near-death just now, almost being pierced by Ma Chao's javelin several times, and almost none of his personal guards survived.

"See my lord!" Zhong Yao and Zhu Ling were waiting for Cao Cao in front of the Tongguan Pass early on. They looked depressed and were ready to be punished by Cao Cao.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao just nodded and entered the pass alone.

After Ma Chao occupied Chang'an, he did not advance to Tongguan, but rested in Chang'an.Half a month later, Lu Rui also rushed to Tongguan with the reinforcements of the Roasted Goose King, and stationed at the foot of the hill outside the pass.Lu Rui and Guo Jia went to the city overnight to meet Cao Cao.

"See your lord!"

"Bufan and Fengxiao are back? Get up!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Bufan and Fengxiao have made great contributions this time. After I return to Xudu, Sikong will definitely reward you for your merits. By the way, where is Xiufu?"

"Reporting to the lord, Xiufu is outside the city to appease the Qiang soldiers, and the Roasted Goose King will enter the city to see the lord tomorrow."

"Okay, tomorrow I will meet the Roasted Goose King at the government office. Boda, I will leave this matter to you to arrange."

"Yes, my lord!"

"My lord, your right arm?" Guo Jia noticed that Cao Cao's right arm was still tied with a strap, obviously injured.

"Ah! This is when I returned to Tongguan, I was injured by the Xiliang army. I have been fighting for many years, and I have never met such an opponent. Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi is really a character!"

"Oh? My lord, the city of Chang'an is high and deep, why did our army lose Chang'an?"

"this.......?"

"Feng Xiao, let me tell you what happened." Then Xun You told Guo Jia and Lu Rui in detail about the battle between Cao Jun and Xiliang Army.

"Strange formation?"

"That's right, Feng Xiao is extraordinary. These are the wooden stakes in the formation described by the surviving soldiers of our army." After speaking, Xun You handed Guo Jia and Lu Rui a sheepskin with a picture of a wooden stake.

"Has Feng Xiao ever seen such a wooden stake?"

"My lord, please forgive Fengxiao's crime. Fengxiao has never seen such a wooden stake, but judging from its shape, it should be something like a horse or antlers."

Lu Rui was taken aback when he saw the sheepskin of the stake. This seems to be the fence set up in modern western equestrian performances?

This kind of fence was very common in European equestrian performances in later generations, but Lu Rui knew that in ancient Rome, the meaning of this kind of fence was far more than that.

First of all, this kind of fence is an effective means of controlling slaves. Arranging these fences on the periphery of slave gathering places can effectively prevent slaves from escaping, because these fences are generally half the height of Europeans. If they are nailed into the ground, slaves have to pass through the fence. It will take a lot of work.

Secondly, the European elite cavalry can cross these fences at will, just like watching equestrian performances in later generations, the riders can easily cross the fence and use various weapons at will, which is very useful when suppressing slaves.If a slave tried to climb over the fence and a cavalryman slashed at him with a short sword, the consequences could be imagined. "Feng Xiao, a yellow scarf warrior was found among the wooden piles in Xiliang!"

"Yellow Turban Warrior?"

"That's right, it's the rumored yellow turban warriors who died in battle until the last moment. After those yellow turban warriors were hacked several times by our soldiers, they can still stand up and kill our soldiers with great strength."

"The legendary Zhang Jiao's most powerful unit, the Yellow Turban Warriors?" Lu Rui was stunned. He didn't expect that there really were Yellow Turban Warriors in history, but how could the most elite unit of the Yellow Turban Army appear in the Xiliang Army?

Lu Rui's heart skipped a beat. The Xiliang army he is facing now may be more difficult to deal with than in history. (To be continued..)
