Chapter 699 Superior Skills

"kill!"

Cao Jun's cavalry, led by Cao Ren, charged forward again, while Xu Sheng commanded the resistance.

"Fire the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh!

"Spearman, thrust!"

These Jiangdong soldiers were elites in many battles and had a strong will to fight. However, they had never had experience against cavalry before, so they were a little panicked. But after the battle just now, they found that the cavalry didn't seem to be scary.

If Cao Ren led his army on the periphery, he could rely on his mobility to lead Jiangdong's army by the nose. But at this moment, being trapped by Jiangdong's army, he lost his greatest advantage.

"ah!"

Arrows fell like rain, and spears thrust forward. Cao Jun's cavalry screamed and fell off their horses one by one, but the cavalry that followed were all brave. They stepped on the road forged by their comrades with their own flesh and blood, and fought forward with all their strength. go.

One of Cao's cavalry shouted angrily, slashed out his sword horizontally, cut off the spear with a snap, and stabbed it into the neck of a sword and shield soldier.

Stab! He swiped hard, and a stream of blood spurted out from the neck of the sword and shield soldier. The sword and shield soldier looked horrified and wanted to reach out to cover the wound, and finally fell to the ground helplessly.

Before Cao Jun's cavalry had time to be happy, two spears from the left and right had already pierced him. One spear hit him as he stepped off the horse, and the other pierced his waist. This waist eye is the most important part of a person's weight, locking Yuanyang. Once it is stabbed, the whole body will twitch in pain.

The war horse suddenly stood up in pain and threw its owner off his back. The Cao soldier twitched for a while and then stopped moving.

Scenes like this were repeated everywhere on the battlefield. Before he could feel happy after a successful attack, a spear stabbed him from the back in a dark corner without paying attention, and he was killed on the spot.

"withstand!"

Not only was Cao Ren leading his army in a desperate attack, Shi Huan on the periphery also desperately led his army to rush into Xu Sheng's army's outer formation, hoping to cooperate with Cao Ren's army inside and outside to penetrate Xu Sheng's army.

"kill!"

Xu Sheng deployed heavy troops to defend Cao Ren's army, but he neglected the surrounding arrangements. Under the fierce attack of Shi Huan's five hundred cavalry, his decline was immediately revealed.

Shi Huan was determined to rescue Cao Ren, so he changed his usual calm posture, holding a horse tree, shouting loudly, and picking and killing him from left to right. Shi Huan was seen riding his horse forward, holding the back end of the horse's branch with both hands, and stabbed downwards with force from a distance of more than ten feet, as if a scorpion had hooked up its sharp tail needle, and stabbed out with a swish.

Poof!

A Jiangdong soldier screamed, and the sharp spear point penetrated his chest and stabbed diagonally downward from his lower back, piercing his entire body directly.

"roll!"

Shi Huan roared angrily, exerted great strength with his arms, swung to the left, and flung the seriously injured and dying Jiangdong soldier away, like a broken sack. Seeing Shi Huan's bravery, the five hundred cavalrymen couldn't help but cheer in unison, and led their troops to charge forward. The impact of the cavalry made the outer formation crumbling, and Xu Sheng's army had already shown that it could not support the formation.

"Captain, I can't support it any longer!"

An Army Sima under Xu Sheng's command ran to him covered in blood and said in a trembling voice: "If this continues, our army will have to let the cavalry of Cao's army on the periphery break through the formation. Please think of a way, Captain."

"It must be resisted. The Governor finally set up a countermeasure to trap the enemy's cavalry. If I let him go, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?" Xu Sheng shouted angrily.

The army commander sighed and said helplessly: "My subordinates understand, so they will lead their troops to fight to the death."

"Wait a minute."

Xu Sheng stopped him and warned: "The supervising team around you has been assigned to you. You must resist it no matter what. At critical moments, I will personally resist it. Do you understand?"

"The captain wants to assign the war team to his subordinates?"

The military commander said worriedly: "But if this happens, won't there be no one to protect the captain?"

"It doesn't matter, we must stop Cao Jun here no matter what!" Xu Sheng said firmly.

The Army Sima nodded heavily, clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, Lieutenant, my subordinate will die in battle today, and we have to stop Shi Huan!"

After saying that, Army Sima turned around and left, and the thirty people from the war supervisory team beside Xu Sheng followed behind Army Sima.

Under Shi Huan's desperate attack, the outer formation was already crumbling. The Army Sima who hurried back shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, you must resist the enemy no matter what, resist me!"

The thirty war supervisors did not hesitate and hurriedly made up the front line. Some grabbed large shields and some held spears, and supplemented the gaps in the front line. They blocked the gaps exposed by the deaths in battle one by one. got up.

"Shrink your formation and don't let the enemy troops in!"

Jiangdong soldiers suffered hundreds of casualties, and the line inevitably became weak. Army Sima hurriedly ordered Jiangdong soldiers to shrink their formation, re-formed a formation, and joined forces closely.

Not far away, Lu Meng saw that Xu Sheng's troops were in danger. He did not dare to mobilize the troops without military orders, so he had to order the archers: "What are you doing standing still? Release your arrows immediately to give Brother Wen Xiang some support!"

"promise!"

About a hundred steps away, the archers of Lu Meng's tribe drew their bows and arrows one after another, and one by one they drew the bows and arrows fully. After a hundred steps, if the arrows were to be lethal, they had to draw the bow strings fully. However, this would not work. If you can't shoot an arrow, it takes a lot of strength to fully draw the bow string. Even if a strong man fully draws the bow string, he can only shoot a dozen arrows at most, and then he loses his strength.

Whoosh whoosh!

Bows and arrows came from far away, and more than ten riders fell under their horses without noticing.

"Ignore the people around you and keep attacking!"

Shi Huan didn't care at all. As long as he could break through the Jiangdong army formation in front of him and rescue Cao Ren, a little loss would still be acceptable.

Although Xu Sheng sent thirty soldiers to supervise the battle line to supplement the front, the thirty men were only a drop in the bucket. Under Shi Huan's impact, they soon became shaky again.

Cao Jun's saber was swung down, and Ma Shan thrust forward in an unstoppable manner. Jiangdong's sword and shield soldiers and spearmen suffered heavy casualties, but Jiangdong's spearmen also tried their best to thrust out their spears under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers. , causing trauma to Cao Jun’s cavalry.

The two armies were fighting, and the shouts of killing were loud. People kept falling, and the ground was dyed red with blood. A strong smell of blood gradually accumulated. However, the soldiers in the bloody battle looked crazy and couldn't care less.

Among the Jiangdong army, Cheng Pu sighed.

"Grand Governor, Wen Xiang's casualties have been too heavy. The casualties at this moment are probably close to a thousand."

Zhou Yu didn't speak, just stared into the distance with his eyes tightly, holding the railings of the chariot tightly with the fingers of both hands, his joints turning white from the exertion, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
