On the border of Yuyang county and Xinye County, Cao's camp was stationed.
Cao Cao led the army and moved here.
The terrain of this place is open, and the difficulty is that there are no mountains, forests and rivers around, so it is impossible to lay ambush. Under such circumstances, it is most suitable for garrison. The army under Cao Cao was stationed here.
After many days, some of his troops have arrived.
The military camp is full of military capacity.
Cao Cao is reading a book.
Outside the tent, a thin figure came in. Jia Xu came. After entering the tent, he bowed his hand and said, "prime minister, just got the news, Liu Xiu personally led the army to help Xinye county. But before that, I didn't find out about Liu Xiu. Today, I suddenly appeared in Xinye county
Cao Cao put down his book and asked, "Wenhe, what do you think?"
Jia Xu said: "I'm afraid Liu Xiu has already arrived in Xinye County, waiting for Zhang Ren to consume Cao Ren's troops. If he can't bear it, he will rush to help again."
As soon as Cao Cao brushed his sleeve, he said, "this thesis has been analyzed before."
"What I want to know is, how do you think Liu Xiu will break this war? Liu Xiu is good at using troops. At the beginning, he may not have guessed that his prime minister was going south. If Zhang Ren only sticks to it for a day or two and Liu Xiu goes to the rescue, then Liu Xiu doesn't know that his prime minister is going south, and Xu Huang's elite is a surprise soldier who can defeat Liu Xiu in one go. "
"The problem now is that Zhang Ren has persisted for six days, and today is the seventh day."
"For so many days, the North has been constantly deploying troops to Nanyang County. Liu Xiu is very smart. Now he must know that the prime minister is coming. You said, "what will he do?"
At this moment, Cao Cao has seen some clues.
Jia Xu said: "prime minister, even if Liu Xiu knows. However, Xu Huang's 5000 elite riders were killed in the past. It's enough to crush Liu Xiu. Even if Liu Xiu guesses it, even sending troops to stop it will not help. "
After a pause, Jia Xu said: "besides, there are tigers and leopards under the Lord's command. Once Xu Huang's five thousand excellent riders are hard to work, the tiger and leopard riders will be killed immediately, and Liu Xiu will be defeated. So I think Liu Xiu can't break this situation. "
Cao Cao laughed, did not speak, said: "we wait and see, I hope Liu Xiu do not let this phase disappointed."
Jia Xu bows down and murmurs in his heart. The tone of the prime minister seems to be that he hopes Liu Xiu will break the game. Although Jia Xu also admitted that Liu Xiu was brilliant, when it comes to leading the army to fight, that's another matter.
……
To the north of the county, Liu Xiu led the army to hold the battle.
A royal guard soldier stood beside Liu Xiu and said, "my Lord, I just got the news. In the northwest of the county, I found Cao Jun's report. At present, Cao Jun is approaching Xinye county. "
When Liu Xiu heard the speech, he began to smile.
The war has begun.
Since Liu Xiu judged that Cao Cao was going south, he knew that rescuing Xinye was not so simple.
Wei Yan went to the rescue, Cao Cao must kill.
Therefore, this is a situation in which each of them is on the stage one after another.
Liu Xiu led two thousand soldiers to hold the battle line, but his eyes still fell on Cao Jun and Jingzhou soldiers who were fighting in front of him. Wei Yan and Cao Ren lead the army to fight, the army has begun to break Cao Ren's let go, the balance of war, a little bit closer to him.
……
Xu Huang came from the northwest. The cavalry ran and the horses neighed, and smoke and dust all over the place.
On the official road, even the ground is shaking.
The horses were on their way quickly, less than ten miles to the north of Xinye county. This place is a broad official road. On the right side of the official road is a stream. With the coming of summer, the river rises and the current is fast. On the left side of the official road is a hillside full of green grass. The mountain is not high, about ten feet, and the slope is very low.
The width of the pipeline is about ten feet. Such a wide official road is the most suitable road for cavalry.
On the hillside, shamoko lay in the grass.
A soldier came quickly and reported: "general, here comes Cao's cavalry."
As soon as the spirit of shamoko was boosted, he said, "quickly, remove the boards on the ground immediately and prepare for the battle."
At the command, the soldiers rushed out, rushed to the official road quickly, and then pulled out the boards on the ground. These boards are long strips, covered with soil, and covered on the ground. As the planks were pulled away, gullies three feet deep and one foot wide immediately emerged.
On the official road, there are many ditches.
The gullies are like small rivers, dividing the official roads into strips.
Ten feet in front of the trench, there stood a hundred soldiers.
These 100 soldiers are so upright on the official road, one of them is carrying a rhubarb crossbow, another is holding a crossbow and waiting quietly.
"Boom!"
On the straight official road, suddenly came the shocking sound of horse hooves.The ground vibrates when the iron hooves are trampled.
"Ready!"
One of the chief composers in charge gave a direct order, and they immediately lay on the ground, pulling the bowstring with one hand and pedaling on the big bow with one foot.
In the twinkling of an eye, the official road ahead, there is a black pressure of inspiration.
The Bowman immediately put on a special crossbow. The distance between the two sides was about 100 Zhang. The Bowman went directly to the room.
"Whew! Whew
With a sharp roar, 50 specially made crossbows were fired.
The fifty crossbows started from the ground and went up obliquely. As they approached the cavalry, the front of the crossbow was right on the line of the chest.
"Pooh! Poof
The crossbow shot into the soldiers, punctured them on the spot and continued to move back.
One crossbow is often enough to kill four soldiers, only then can it exhaust its power. Some of them are powerful and have a suitable angle. The number of soldiers killed with one arrow is up to six.
On the spot, one by one, Qi Qi fell to the ground, and the front camp was in turmoil.
A wave of crossbows and arrows caused more than 100 casualties.
"Xiyuyu!"
The horses hissed and ran wildly.
The scream of the soldiers came immediately. Some of the soldiers who fell to the ground were seriously injured, but the horses rushed up and couldn't escape. They were trampled to death.
Xu Huang was in the army. When he found out, he gave a loud order: "charge, full speed charge."
The speed of the horses was extremely fast. According to Xu Huang's visual observation, the distance between the two sides was about 100 Zhang. As long as the horses sprint with all their strength, they will be able to rush up in just a moment. Once the distance gets closer, the opponent's Crossbow will lose its function.
"Whew! Whew
The second wave of crossbows, again.
This time, Cao Jun told us that he was ready and angrily drew his sword to resist.
"Dang! Dang! "
The sound of crashing is heard all the time.
"Ah
The shrill scream also came from time to time.
After three successive rounds of crossbow and arrow shooting, the huge force of both sides has been drawn close to about 40 Zhang.
Xu Huang was holding a hatchet in his hand. He roared: "charge, charge with all your strength." Xu Huang's eyes showed a cold expression. Liu Xiu just wants to rely on more than a hundred crossbow soldiers, just like blocking, that is a fool talking in his dream, absolutely impossible to succeed.
The fourth round of crossbow came, and the cavalry was shot again.
Especially in the case of close range, many of the crossbows did not hit the cavalry because of their insufficient height, but many of the horses were killed. When the war horses were in chaos, the formation was even more chaotic, and the situation was even more dangerous.
Rao is so, Xu Huang's army is still no turmoil, quickly approaching.
When the distance from the crossbow driver was only about 30 Zhang, the soldier in the front saw the situation in front of him. He was so surprised that he quickly reined in his horse and wanted to stop. But under the spurt of the war horse, it couldn't stop at all. Under the momentum of inertia, the war horse immediately entered the area full of trenches.
The horse ran fast and stepped into the ditch. The trench is about three feet deep. After the horse's hooves enter, the horse's body is out of balance and its center of gravity moves forward, so it can't keep its shape.
"Chaka! Click
One horse's hooves were broken, and then his huge bodies fell to the ground.
"Boom! Boom
The sound of constant impact resounds on the official road.
The sound even covered up the sound of the incessant rushing water.
The front horse rushed into the ditch, and the rear one immediately followed. In an instant, a trench makes a war horse broken, all fell to the ground.
The cavalry with rigorous formation is in chaos and the situation is out of control
