Chapter 943 Fighting Step by Step
The antlers and horse-rejecting guns on the second line were lifted away by Cao Jun, leaving a gap. Cao Jun, who had retreated from the first line, swarmed into the second line. As Cao Jun poured in, After reaching the second front line, Cao Jun carried back the antlers and horse-rejecting guns to form a tight line again.
"Archers forward, spearmen at the ready!"
"We must resist. Anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded on the spot!"
After the second formation, various middle and low-level officers of Cao's army shouted loudly, commanding Cao's army on the front line, mobilizing morale, and preparing to resist the invasion of Xiliang army with all their strength.
After breaking through Cao Jun's first line, Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, a horseman not far away was galloping towards him. There was a red feather on his helmet. He was a sentry horseman from the Chinese army.
"Li Xiaowei, Zhang Zhennan has an order! Order Li Xiaowei to lead his troops to continue attacking Cao Jun's second line!"
Li Yan said loudly: "Understood!"
It seems that this time, General Zhang is planning to attack Cao Ren's camp in one go, Li Yan thought in his mind.
"Gather the entire army, repair for a quarter of an hour, and immediately launch a fierce attack on the second enemy line!"
Since the command to open the jaws had been issued, it had to be done no matter what. Li Yan immediately ordered his soldiers to assemble, carry the dead bodies and wounded soldiers to the back, and then reorganize to prepare for another fierce attack on Cao Ren's second level of formation.
After a quarter of an hour of repairs, the Xiliang Army reorganized and reorganized the damaged structures into a powerful army.
"Attack!" Li Yan waved his hand.
"Kill!"
boom! The integrated Xiliang Army is more powerful. Thousands of Xiliang Army soldiers are walking on the ground with heavy steps and rumbles, as if the chariots of the God of Thunder are driving across the earth, trying to destroy the world. flat.
"Fire the arrow!"
As the torrent of the Xiliang army entered the range of an arrow in front of Cao Jun, Cao Jun's thousands of archers were already ready to attack. Suddenly, arrows rained like flying, and thousands of arrows suddenly fell into the dense Among the Xiliang army, Xiliang soldiers continued to fall down with arrows.
The Xiliang army was naturally unwilling to be outdone. There were also a large number of archers in the army. They knelt half on the ground, stretched their bows and nocked arrows, and aimed at Cao's army behind the line, and arrows flew out one after another. I could see the constant rain of arrows from the two armies in the air. Xiliang soldiers and Cao soldiers were constantly falling. Their lives were so fragile at this moment, just like fallen wheat, which could no longer stand after being blown by the violent storm. Can't get up.
However, both the Xiliang Army and Cao Army were experienced teams. This small setback could not scare them. They finally rushed over with a single shot. The Xiliang Army immediately launched the second level of formation. Attacked fiercely, thousands of Xiliang soldiers swarmed forward.
Cao Jun's archers naturally retreated quickly, and there was a gap immediately behind the antlers and horse-rejecting spears. However, Cao Jun's spearmen quickly rushed forward and occupied the gap, preparing to fight against the oncoming Xiliang army.
boom!
The massive Xiliang army was like a flood that broke through a levee, carrying an unstoppable momentum and slamming into Cao Jun's second line.
However, this time the number of Cao's troops behind the second front line doubled, because Cao's troops who had retreated from the first front line gathered behind the second front line, so the density of Cao's troops gathered behind Lujiao greatly increased, and the counterattack The intensity naturally increases accordingly.
The two armies fought fiercely around the deer antlers and horse-rejecting spears. This long front line now became a bloody road. Cao Jun knew that this was the last line outside the camp. Once they broke through, they could only hold on outside the camp. , so they all fought to the death and refused to retreat. In addition, there were a large number of people, so they blocked the Xiliang soldiers' offensive from the second front.
"Kill me!"
Seeing that Li Yan could not break through the second front line, Li Yan couldn't help but his face darkened. He stood behind the Xiliang army in person, held his sword in his hand, and personally supervised the battle.
Seeing Li Yan personally supervising the battle, the Xiliang soldiers naturally became more motivated to fight. They were like wild beasts, attacking Cao's army's line like a flood. Even though Cao's army had a large number of people, the line was shaky for a while.
"Damn it!"
Cao Tai couldn't help being furious when he saw this. He was the first to retreat behind the second front when all four fronts were attacked at the same time. Because Cao Tai retreated behind the first line first, Cao's troops on the other three sides were exposed to the attack range of the Xiliang Army, and they had to retreat at the same time. Otherwise, if they were encircled by the Xiliang Army and attacked from both sides, they would naturally Hard to support.
Because of this incident, Cao Ren sent someone to severely reprimand Cao Tai, saying bluntly that if he lost the second line, he would kill him with his own hands!
"Come forward, follow me. We must not let the enemy break through the line!"
Cao Ren was a serious and strict father. Cao Tai was also in awe of his father. He was definitely not joking when he said he wanted to kill him. His father was loyal to the prime minister and he had to resist.
There was no other way, Cao Tai had no choice but to lead his five hundred soldiers to press forward.
"kill!"
At this time, under Li Yan's command, Xiliang soldiers gathered in a mass attack and were about to break through one of Cao's army's lines. At this time, other Cao's troops were attacked by the enemy at the same time and could not spare their men.
"Follow me and fight, quickly!"
Cao Tai secretly thought it was not good and hurriedly rushed forward with five hundred soldiers, but at this time Xiliang soldiers had already poured in.
"Kill me!"
Cao Tai was furious and committed suicide himself. He slashed out a large sword in his hand and cut a Xiliang soldier into two pieces. Blood and intestines were scattered all over the ground.
Cao Tai's face was covered with blood, but he roared angrily: "Kill me and drive back the enemy!"
Cao Tai is the son of Cao Ren, and the five hundred soldiers around him are naturally the elite soldiers selected by Cao Ren to protect him. When these five hundred Cao soldiers saw Cao Tai taking the lead, they were naturally frightened, and hurriedly swarmed up to protect Cao Tai. The Xiliang soldiers who came through the gap fought together.
Although the Xiliang Army opened a gap in the second line of Cao's army, there were not many soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army who could rush into it. However, Cao Tai's 500 soldiers rushed forward and naturally filled the gap. It was blocked and blocked the Xiliang army's offensive.
Cao Tai was the son of the coach Cao Ren, and even Cao Tai began to risk his life. Naturally, Cao's army was greatly encouraged, and they fought bravely against the Xiliang soldiers one by one, and actually suppressed the Xiliang army's offensive.
"Damn it." Li Yan frowned. For a moment, he was also at his wits' end.
