Soldiers come to the world

After more than [-] days of confrontation, the Han army launched a siege of Qiao County. For Cao Ren, he had no choice. If he retreated, he would be blocked by the Han army and pursued, and he would undoubtedly lose.

But if the confrontation continues, the food in his army will face the dilemma of insufficient food, and the Han army will cut off the food road. More importantly, once the Han army captures Qiao County, not only will the [-] Cao army in the county be wiped out, but he will also be unable to send troops to Qiao County. Wei Gong on behalf of.

To fight or not to fight, Cao Ren couldn't help himself. He had no choice but to accept the challenge of the Han army and fight to the death with the Han army in Qiao County.

When the [-] Cao army appeared ten miles away from Qiao County, the Han army that had been waiting for a long time immediately went up to fight. The two Han armies from the north and the south quickly gathered in the east of the city, and a total of [-] elite Han troops faced the [-] Cao army.

The strong wind was blowing, the flags were fluttering, and there was a burst of sand and stones flying in the wilderness. The dust filled the air. The [-] Cao troops had already stabilized their positions.

Five thousand of the sharpest tiger and leopard cavalry were the central army, and Cao Ren was surrounded in the middle of the team. Cao Ren immediately stood under a large banner, looking at a black line in the distance with complicated eyes.

The [-] Cao troops did not attack immediately, but stopped ten miles away. They marched all night, and the soldiers and horses were very tired, so it would be disadvantageous for them to go into battle immediately.

Cao Jun soldiers took advantage of this moment to sit on the ground to rest, and the cavalry dismounted one after another to drink water and feed the horses, and also hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food to fill their stomachs.

At this time, the sound of drums was faintly heard from the position of the Han army in the distance, and a watchman on a high platform shouted: "Captain, the enemy army is coming towards us!"

Cao Ren stared into the distance. It was morning, and a few rays of sunlight pierced through the dense dark clouds, illuminating the highlands in the wilderness in the distance. The army led by Han Wang Liu Jing was approaching here step by step. Seeing that Cao Jun was exhausted, he began to take the initiative to attack.

Cao Ren immediately ordered coldly: "The army is ready to fight immediately!"

"Ugh-"

The low-pitched horns sounded over the Han army, and the rumbling drums sounded. The soldiers of the Cao army stood up and prepared for battle.

The dark clouds closed again, and the sun disappeared. Under the dark clouds, one hundred thousand Han troops had stopped three miles away. They formed a triangular army formation, their banners fluttering, their armor black, and their spears forming a sharp forest, gloomy. The world is full of murderous aura, enough to make any opponent dare not underestimate the enemy.

At this moment, Liu Jing was also looking at the Cao army on the opposite side. He saw that the Cao army stretched for ten miles in width, and eight thousand crossbowmen lined up in three rows, waiting for the Han army to attack first, so that their bows and arrows could exert their power.

Liu Jing waved his hand, "Don't attack lightly!"

Without Liu Jing's order, the Han army did not launch an attack. Both sides seemed to be waiting. At this time, Cao Jun's left-wing leader Li Tong whispered to the general Yang Dian beside him: "Have you seen that? The Han army has no intention of attacking at all. It is estimated that the governor's plan to suppress the opponent with crossbowmen has failed."

Yang Dian sighed slightly: "The Han army has fought against us for many years, who doesn't know the opponent's tactics?"

Time passed by little by little, the two sides confronted each other, and neither of them took the initiative to attack, as if they were testing perseverance and endurance to see who could not hold on first.

At this moment, an observer soldier suddenly pointed at the opposing camp and shouted loudly to the counselor Man Chong: "Master Man, there seems to be some movement from the other side!"

Man Chong looked into the distance intently, and saw that the Han army's position began to change. A cavalry of about 7000 Han troops left the main formation, and ran diagonally to the right side two miles away from Cao's army. Obviously to attack the crossbowman's flank.

This is a huge threat to the crossbowmen. If the Cao army does not change their formation, the crossbowmen will suffer a fatal blow. They look back at Cao Jun's main formation full of favors.

But Man Chong found that the crossbow army had changed, and three thousand Cao cavalry rushed in from behind. They happened to face the Han cavalry on the side and covered the crossbow army. Will not change formation easily.

But Man Chong was still a little worried. He looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds, and thunder was faintly sounding in the clouds. The weather was extremely hot, and he saw that a downpour was coming.

In front of the Han army, Liu Jing was mobilizing for the final battle. The tall Xiong Jun was galloping in the wind, and Wenhou's halberd in his hand collided with the spears of the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Han army, follow me for a hundred years!" Sons who have won all battles, today will be our decisive battle to capture the Central Plains, and we must use our lives and blood to prove that we are the most powerful army in the world, sons, follow me to fight the enemy bravely!"

"Willing to die for the King of Han!"

The generals of the Han army shouted like thunder, "Long live the King of Han!"

Liu Jing raised his head and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky began to rain, and it gradually became heavier and heavier. Liu Jing gave Pang Tong a thumbs up in admiration. The weather was exactly as Pang Tong expected.

"Left and right wings, attack in an arc!"

When Liu Jing gave an order, the battle drums rang rumblingly, and the red and blue flags fluttered on the command platform. This was an order for an arc attack. The Han army suddenly launched, and the two bottom corners of the triangle formation separated to the two sides. Two circular arc lines are formed, just like the two horns of argali.

The [-] army formed two black and turbulent waves, each with a width of several miles. Under the leadership of the left-wing general Zhao Yun and the right-wing general Wen Pin, they attacked the left and right wings of Cao Jun. The spears and knives were as dense as a forest, and the soldiers held their shields high. , Running hard against the heavy rain, with a tragic and majestic momentum, which changed the color of the world.

At the same time, the low-pitched horns of the Han army sounded, and the [-] cavalry deployed on the left flank of the Cao army, led by General Pang De, also suddenly launched an attack, and they rushed to the flanks of the crossbowmen.

Suddenly it rained heavily in the sky, which made Cao Ren's face change greatly. The bow and crossbow could not be used in the rain. The crossbow army retreats!"

A 3-man cavalry cavalry of the Cao army was divided into two groups, 1 of whom, led by general Yang Dian, fought against the Han cavalry who came from the side. , Pound shouted, "Divide the troops!"

He galloped northward on his horse, and two thousand cavalry followed him around Cao Jun's vanguard, and swiftly charged at the retreating crossbow army. He rushed into the retreating Cao Jun crossbow army.

Hundreds of crossbowmen of the Cao army rolled and fell to the ground under the powerful impact of the cavalry. In an instant, heads rolled, blood splattered, and wailing rang out. Unable to use bows and arrows in the rain, it was difficult for them to resist this extremely sharp Han cavalry, and the formation of the eight thousand crossbow troops was torn to pieces.

The other [-] Han cavalry led by general Xu Sheng collided with the [-] spear army led by Yang Dian. The spears clashed with each other, and the two families fought fiercely.

At this time, the [-] main force of the left wing of the Han army led by Zhao Yun arrived, rushing towards Cao Jun overwhelmingly. Cao Ren had been prepared for a long time, and coldly ordered: "The right wing meets!"

After all, Cao Jun is also one of the strongest troops in the world, well-trained, [-] pike infantry and [-] cavalry formed a large formation of pikemen complementing infantry and cavalry. The Han infantry went to fight.

The heavy rain from the sky destroyed the deployment of Cao Ren's bow and crossbow army, allowing the [-] infantry on the left wing of the Han army to attack unimpeded, and the [-] spearmen were like a surging wave. The spearmen launched a stormy attack.

The large formation of spearmen was a sharp weapon that Cao Ren trained to deal with the Wuhuan cavalry. It was somewhat similar to the Macedonian army in the West. They mainly used collective strength to deal with the cavalry with two-foot-long spears. There are two thousand cavalry guards.

Zhao Yun saw the weakness of Cao Jun, and ordered urgently: "Concentrate on attacking the cavalry on the left!"

The offensive of the Ten Thousand Han Spear Army was like a tide, launching a fierce and stormy offensive, wave after wave attacking the left guard cavalry.

The summer in June is mostly showers. After a short period of heavy rain, the rain cleared and the sun shone on the earth again.

The [-] right-wing infantry led by Wenpin were blocked by the [-] crossbow troops sent by Cao Ren. The Han army shouted and killed, and they rushed forward bravely, sweeping towards Cao army. They held up shields in one hand and spears in the other. Facing the dense arrow rain, they violently attacked the enemy's position.

At 120 paces, Cao Ren's crossbow army began to shoot arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows shot at the soldiers of the Han army. One by one, the soldiers of the Han army were shot down, but the rolling army was still like a black tide, surging and rushing towards Cao's army. .

For tit-for-tat, Wenpin also sent [-] Han crossbowmen to shoot at the enemy. They used special chain crossbows, that is, a wooden box with twelve arrows was installed on the crossbow. They pull the string and shoot arrows very fast.

A wave of crossbow arrows shot towards the enemy formation like locusts, and a large number of Cao Jun soldiers were also shot down. At this time, Wenpin's right-wing Han army finally rushed to the front of Cao Jun's formation. Zheng led an army of [-] to fight, followed by a shield army of [-] swords, fighting together from the side.

'boom! There was a loud noise, and the two armies collided like two mighty waves. The murderous look confused people's eyes for a moment. There were screams, heads fell to the ground, and rivers of blood flowed. The war was so cruel that the lives of soldiers were as humble as grass at this moment.

A Han soldier screamed, his head was split in half by an axe, and blood and brains were splashed everywhere. Two burly soldiers fought hand to hand and fell to the ground together. An arrow was aimed at his forehead and eyes, and the opponent suffocated and died tragically on the ground.

But no matter how fierce the battle was between the left and right flanks, Cao Ren's central army remained unmoved. Liu Jing also had [-] elite troops who did not fight, and the [-] reinforcements led by Huang Zhong would not be easily dispatched.

At this time, the military adviser Pang Tong smiled slightly, he had already seen that the strength of the Han army was slightly better than that of the Cao army, and it was still an army of 15 against an army of [-]. In any case, they would undoubtedly win this battle.

Liu Jing did not show any signs of expression, watching the fierce battle between the two armies from a distance, both sides were going all out, the fighting was fierce, the time for Huang Zhong to attack had come, he turned his head and ordered: "Order Huang Zhong's troops to attack!"
