Chapter 687 Chasing Cao Bing

The raging river peaks are still roaring, washing against both sides of the river. The Cao Army and the Liangzhou Army faced each other across the river. The Liangzhou Army were all fierce and fierce, especially the sharp Liangzhou soldiers who had just killed Cao's soldiers in the front row. There was still dripping water on the blades in their hands. blood.

On the other hand, Cao Jun on the opposite side looked shocked, and they had not yet recovered from the impact of He Feng. , although many Cao soldiers were from Qingzhou soldiers and had experienced hundreds of battles, they could not help but turn pale. Fire and water are merciless, and they are all insignificant in the face of the power of nature.

"Xu Huang!"

Cao Hong was furious, but was hugged by the deputy general next to him, unable to move.

"what are you doing!"

Cao Hong was like a lion with explosive hair, struggling angrily, his eyes wide open, glaring at the deputy general as if he wanted to kill someone.

"General Zilian! Our army has been defeated, with nearly half of the casualties, and the number of enemy troops far exceeds ours. If we do not retreat now, when the river peak passes and the Liangzhou army wades across the river, our army will be defeated!" Lieutenant General explained eagerly.

"fart!"

Cao Hong retorted: "If Xu Huang really dares to cross the river, I will attack him halfway. This is a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory. What are you afraid of?"

The deputy general smiled bitterly: "General Zilian, after the river peak recedes, the water level of the Jia River is no more than knee-level. The Liangzhou army can completely cross the river in formation. How can our army attack it halfway across the river?"

Cao Hong was startled and stunned.

It is indeed an important military strategy to attack them halfway across the river. When the Chu army crossed the river, Song Xianggong, who prided himself on benevolence and righteousness, did not attack them halfway across the river, and the result was a huge defeat. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether the Song and Chu armies would win or lose.

The general condition for attacking halfway across the river is that the water level of the river is deep enough, so the enemy cannot easily cross the river, and naturally cannot form a formation. Once the river is too shallow, the enemy troops can form a tight formation and land ashore, so it becomes a joke to attack halfway across the river.

At this time, the river peak was no longer as turbulent as before, and gradually slowed down. The Liangzhou army on the other side of the river couldn't help but gear up and showed a ferocious smile, as if the Cao army on the other side had let them knead it.

"That's all."

Cao Hong sighed helplessly and ordered: "The rear team becomes the front team and withdraw the troops!"

"promise!"

The remaining nearly 6,000 Cao soldiers had no intention of fighting. After hearing Cao Hong's order, they all breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and lined up, slowly retreating.

As a result, under the watchful eyes of the Liangzhou army on the west bank of the river, nearly six thousand Cao soldiers retreated slowly.

"General, do our troops want to pursue you?"

The person who asked the question was Army Commander Hao Zhao. He was originally from Jinyang, but later came to Jizhou and joined Xu Huang's army. He had a calm personality and was proficient in the art of war, so Xu Huang immediately appreciated him and promoted him from a senior officer to a general. Army Sima.

"Of course we have to pursue him!"

Xu Huang said loudly: "Cao's army is timid and does not dare to fight with our army. Now is the time to pursue the enemy and expand the victory. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?"

After that, Xu Huang ordered: "Cross the river in formation and pursue Cao's soldiers!"

"Chasing Cao Bing!"

The turbulent river peak finally retreated completely, and the water level of Zhangjia River was only below the knees of many Liangzhou troops. Rows of Liangzhou troops walked into the river and lined up forward.

Row after row of Liangzhou troops moved forward slowly, from the west bank to the east bank of the river. After a brief arrangement, they immediately launched into the pursuit.

The Liangzhou Army followed in pursuit, shouting from time to time.

"Kill Cao's soldiers!"

"If you have the guts, don't run away, stay and have a showdown with grandpa!"

"Cao Hong is a dog thief who is as timid as a mouse. Are you frightened by my general?"

When these shouts and curses came into his ears, Cao Hong gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't help but order his troops to turn around and fight several times, but he endured them all.

"Speed ​​up the march!"

Cao Hong said in a low voice: "Just throw away some unnecessary flags and baggage, and get rid of the enemy as soon as possible."

Many of the Cao army led by Cao Hong were hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandits that Cao Cao had conquered. Although these Qingzhou soldiers fought bravely, they had an obvious shortcoming: they often couldn't withstand tough battles, and they liked it very much. Looting property.

Even Xiahou Dun was kidnapped by Qingzhou soldiers back then, which shows how rampant these Qingzhou soldiers were.

After hearing this, Cao Jun threw the flags and baggage in their hands on the ground and stepped on them regardless. A flag with the word Cao as a general had been stepped on countless times and was covered with mud, water and footprints.

Not long after, hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers came forward to fight. They couldn't help laughing when they saw the flags, golden drums and other baggage discarded on the ground.

"Cao's soldiers are so courageous that he doesn't even want the flag or the golden drum!"

"Don't panic."

Army Sima Hao Zhao said in a deep voice: "One group of men and horses collected the enemy's baggage and dropped it. The rest will follow me forward and continue the pursuit."

"promise!"

The Liangzhou soldiers pursued all the way while packing Cao Jun's baggage. The forward sprinted faster and finally arrived behind Cao Jun.

"kill!"

Although Hao Zhao has a calm personality, he is still a young man in his twenties at this time, and he can't help but draw his sword out of its sheath with great ambition.

Although there were thousands of Cao's troops on the opposite side, the hundreds of Liangzhou troops were not afraid. They howled like hungry wolves and charged forward.

boom!

Hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers armed with sharp swords broke into Cao's army and slaughtered them. Dozens of Cao's soldiers were killed and injured as they tried to escape.

"The Liangzhou army is coming to kill us!"

"Fight them!"

A tall and thick Qingzhou soldier stopped, turned around abruptly, grasped the Huanshou knife and killed the pursuing Liangzhou soldiers. There were thousands of them. How could they just run away when faced with hundreds of people? These damn Liangzhou soldiers must be given some color.

The brave Qingzhou soldier raised his ring-shou sword and slashed it down with a force that cut through Mount Huashan. The sound of the wind struck a Liangzhou soldier holding a spear fiercely.

This Qingzhou soldier was experienced in battle formations. He jumped forward with a short body and slashed out with a ring-shaped sword in his hand. At such a short distance, the spearman's moves were old, and he was able to draw his neck to be killed in an instant.

However.

when!

A sword and shield man beside the spearman raised his shield without hesitation and resisted the fierce attack of the Huanshou sword with a clang. Before the Qingzhou soldier could react, the spearman had already shouted loudly and raised his hands. He raised his spear levelly, aimed it at the Qingzhou soldier's chest, and stabbed it out fiercely.

The spear hits the king, and it's hard to resist if it goes straight.

Poof!

The spears of the Liangzhou soldiers were all made according to the standard. Liu Ye himself was the descendant of Li Shuwen, the master spearman. He was proficient in marksmanship and boxing, and he had a good understanding of the spears and spears of the past dynasties in China. He ordered the Liangzhou Army's spears to be made in the form of triangular points and armor-piercing cones, with excellent armor-piercing capabilities.

All he could see was that the armor-piercing spear stabbed hard, piercing the armor like a layer of paper.
