Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 363

Under the hill, the sound of killing was loud, horses neighing and people boiling.

Under the temptation of a lot of money, [-] Cao Jun rowed their fishing boats and launched a round of attacks on the small hill with a radius of less than one mile. Three thousand wolf riders had already driven all the horses off the hill, and fought desperately with Cao Jun who rushed up.

The three thousand wolf cavalry is the elite of the Xiliang cavalry elite. This cavalry was given a heavy responsibility at the beginning of its establishment, that is, to guard the safety of the lord Luo Zheng. The soldiers selected for the wolf cavalry battalion enjoy the best treatment and military pay , but you must be prepared to die on the battlefield at any time, even if you are the last person left, you must not back down.

The soldiers of the Wolf Riding Battalion were tough, even if they got off their horses and fought on foot, none of them flinched.

However, the terrain and environment of the hill are too unfavorable for cavalry.If the cavalry had no horses, they would lose more than half of their combat effectiveness. Moreover, Cao's army was nearly seven times larger than the wolf cavalry battalion.

If it is placed on an open plain, even if the enemy army is ten times larger than the wolf cavalry battalion, three thousand of the most elite wolf cavalry will still have the absolute strength to break through the encirclement, but on this small hill, they can only be killed by Cao Jun every now and then. Retreat and keep shrinking the line of defense.

On the small hill, Cao Jun has stepped through the mud and boarded the hill, and is advancing steadily from bottom to top.

The three thousand wolf cavalry officers and men continue to shrink the line of defense, with Luo Zheng as the center, gathering at the top,

On the big boat a hundred paces away, Xia Houyuan stood at the bow of the boat with an inexplicable solemnity in his eyes.

Luo Zheng's three thousand wolf riders really deserve their reputation. Without the horses, they can still be so tough. They are indeed the elite of the Xiliang cavalry elite. They are not under the tiger and leopard riders organized by the lord. Fortunately, they were blocked in this small town. On the mountain bag.

If it were placed on the plain, none of my [-] infantry would be a match for this cavalry.

However, once the tiger has no minions, it can only be slaughtered.

Xia Houyuan clenched his fists tightly, as long as he could kill Luo Zheng, even if all the [-] troops were lost, it would be worth it.

I heard that Luo Zheng's youngest son is less than ten years old. As long as Luo Zheng dies, what can a baby less than ten years old do? At that time, the Xiliang Army will immediately collapse, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Xichuan, and even Xiqiang and Mo The northern metropolis is in chaos.

As long as Luo Zheng can be killed, it is worth paying a hundred thousand troops.

"Kill up and capture Luo Zheng alive!"

Xia Houyuan waved his arm vigorously and shouted loudly.

Cao Jun's soldiers were red-eyed, and they all rushed upwards with all their might.

On the small hill, Luo Zheng's face was stern, although the situation was already in jeopardy, he was still calm and calm.

Although Jia Xu, Fazheng, Chengying and others showed anxious faces, they showed no fear or fear.

On a few hills not far away, Yan Xing, Zhang Liao and other generals were all impatient. Seeing that Cao Jun had attacked the hill where the three thousand wolf riders were, they were unable to lead their troops to the protective frame, and wished they could fly over with a pair of wings.

The fierce fighting lasted from early morning to noon, and the flood water was gradually receding.

Cao Jun left countless corpses, and the casualties exceeded five thousand. The muddy red water was also stained red with blood, and the three thousand wolf riders also suffered heavy casualties. .

Xia Houyuan is a little anxious, the flood is receding, if Luo Zheng is not resolved and withdraws, he will be trapped in this Ze country.

The Xiliang army on the nearby hills was also in a hurry. Yan Xing and Zhang Liao tried several times but failed to rush over.

The battle was still going on. Seeing that the three thousand wolf riders continued to decrease, there were less than a thousand people left.

Xu Chu had already left Luo Zheng's side, and personally led the troops into battle.

And at this critical juncture, a large number of ships appeared again near Sishui Pass.

"General, look!"

A small school turned around in shock, pointed at Gao Shun in the distance and yelled.

Gao Shun turned his head to look, and his face showed joy in an instant. His calm face, after seeing the sudden appearance of ships, couldn't help showing excitement, and he kept shouting: "Let the navy come over quickly, quickly!"

The ship that suddenly appeared was a warship of the Xiliang Navy.

The Xiliang soldiers crowded on the top of the wall immediately raised their voices and roared in unison.

Soon, a walking boat broke away from the fleet, and rushed towards it like an arrow leaving the string.

It was only after rushing a hundred steps away that he slowed down.

Gan Ning was wearing iron armor, standing on the deck with a big knife in his hand, and looking over the top of the city with a canopy in his hand.

Next to it, a small naval officer said: "General, it's not Cao's army on the top of the wall, it's our army!"

Gan Ning said 'hmm', and ordered to get closer, raised his voice and shouted: "This is Gan Ning, who is in charge of the army in the city?"

"General Gan Ning, speed up the navy to rescue the lord!"

Gao Shun's heart was burning with anxiety, and he shouted: "Cao's army dug the water and flooded the pass. My lord should be trapped in a high place. Xia Houyuan has led the army for half a day. There are shouts of killing five miles to the west. My lord should be there. General Gan Ning hurry to the rescue!"

"General Gao Shun!"

Gan Ning was taken aback, hurriedly asked what had happened, and immediately shouted, "Let's go!"

Zou Ge quickly turned around and rushed towards the west.

After receiving the military order, the navy fleet also immediately turned around and rushed westward.

On the hill, the fierce battle continued.

Only 800 of the [-] wolf riders were left, firmly guarding the top of the hill. Under the leadership of Xu Chu, they struggled to fight the rushing Cao army. Xia Houyuan also set foot on the hill and led his troops to charge.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Xia Houyuan had already seen Luo Zheng, Jia Xu and the others who were guarded by wolf riders. Just as the blood in his bones was boiling, he heard a small school yelling, "Look, general!"

Xia Houyuan turned around in shock, and saw another boat rushing towards him in the distance.

"not good!"

Xia Houyuan was taken aback, and his expression changed instantly.

"It's the Xiliang Navy!"

Cao Jun's soldiers with good eyesight yelled, causing confusion immediately.

"How did the Xiliang navy rush past Pingjin so quickly!"

Xia Houyuan almost vomited blood out of breath, and the cooked duck flew away. Such a result was really aggrieved.

Although this small hill made the Xiliang cavalry lose most of their combat effectiveness, it is also unfavorable for attacking. Don't look at the Xiliang army has less than a thousand people left, but these are all Luo Zheng's personal soldiers. If you don't fight until the last one Falling down, wanting to kill Luo Zheng is simply wishful thinking, and the time when the Xiliang navy has at most one stick of incense will arrive.

Xia Houyuan was so angry that he really wanted to scold God, he held his breath in his chest and almost fainted him.

"General, what should I do?"

A small school hurriedly asked, with panic already on his face.

The Xiliang water army came here at this time, this is really fatal!
"go!"

Xia Houyuan's face changed violently several times, and he roared unwillingly, turned around and left.

If Luo Zheng can be killed before the Xiliang water army arrives, he will definitely die.

But the problem is that the Xiliang water army can arrive within a stick of incense at most, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to kill all those Xiliang wolves.I don't want those Luo Zheng's personal soldiers to kill, how can I kill Luo Zheng.

Xia Houyuan only felt blood dripping from his heart. After paying such a high price, the life and death of the military adviser was also uncertain, but in the end, the success fell short.

Cao Jun came and went quickly, quickly rushed down the hill and rushed to the stranded fishing boat.

However, because the flood ebbed and the water level dropped, more and more mud was exposed. Many fishing boats were directly stuck in the mud and could not move. They were dragged into the water for at least dozens of steps.

When Cao Jun's soldiers frantically dragged the horse fishing boat into the water, the Xiliang water army had already killed it.

"kill!"

Gan Ning stood up on the bow of the boat, holding a knife and shouting loudly.

The galloping boat brushed past a fishing boat, and the two boats tilted to both sides at the same time. Standing on the bow of the boat, Gan Ning seemed to be standing on flat ground, without shaking his body, while the Jinfan who was paddling the boat The thief also sat firmly.

The soldiers of Cao Jun on the fishing boat all fell into the mud-like flood with a sound of exclamation.

This place is no better than a river, the water level is too shallow for large warships to pass, and only the shallowest walking boats can pass.

The Xiliang water army only had more than a hundred boats, but they charged Cao Jun without any scruples.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the battle turned into a one-sided situation. The Xiliang water army only came with more than [-] people, but they were defeated several times as many as Cao Cao's army. Walk and knock over.

The soldiers of Cao Jun who fell into the water howled and struggled in the flood, helpless like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Some soldiers of Cao Jun wanted to escape by rowing fishing boats, but they couldn't run away from the walking boats of the Xiliang water army.

If Cao Jun's fishing boats are tortoises, then the Xiliang water army is like leopards pouncing on their prey.No matter how fast the tortoise crawled, it couldn't compare to the speed of the leopard. The difference between the pros and cons of the regular navy and infantry was unreservedly reflected at this moment.

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Houyuan suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake.

Cao's army is not a navy. When they are on the water, if they encounter a regular navy, they really don't have much power to resist.

The gap between them is even bigger than the gap between cavalry and infantry.

[-] infantry may besiege and kill thousands of cavalry, but if they reach the surface of the water, [-] infantry and even [-] water troops who are proficient in water warfare will be helpless. This is the gap between different arms.

If it came to a wide river, perhaps only fifty water thieves who were proficient in water skills could bury tens of thousands of landlubbers on fishing boats at the bottom of the river.

On the small hill, Luo Zheng's expression relaxed, and Jia Xu, Fazheng, Cheng Ying and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining 800 wolf riders all sat on the ground, panting heavily.

From last night until now, I haven't eaten a grain of rice, haven't drunk a sip of water, and haven't even slept, and have fought for a long time. Even the tough guy can't hold it anymore. When the crisis is over, he will immediately soften. down.

On the nearby hilltops, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and others could see clearly and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the navy arrived in time, otherwise there would be big troubles.

"General, the Xiliang water army is coming!"

On the largest fishing boat, Junior Cao Jun shouted anxiously at Xia Houyuan.
