Chapter 84 Wuhuan Iron Cavalry(1/2)
Chapter 84: Wuhuan Iron Cavalry
The night is dark.
The wind is cold and sad.
With an extremely distant sound of trumpets, the overwhelming shouts and the rumbling horse hooves suddenly stopped. A strange silence suddenly appeared in the fields. I expected that the stormy impact of the enemy cavalry had not arrived. They rushed in like a tide, but dissipated invisible like air.
Under the cold moonlight, all the Han soldiers looked at each other, and were at a loss in the face of the empty wilderness.
Xiahou Dun held a steel gun in his hand and said in a voice: "What tricks are the eight hundred bandits playing?"
A cold and cold light flashed through Cao Cao's little eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is clearly to exhaust our soldiers, which is a plan to disturb the enemy! You can divide the entire army into two teams, one lined up to be on guard, and the other team did not remove their armor, and did not untied their clothes, and rested on the ground in the formation. As long as the formation is not chaotic, the enemy cavalry can take advantage of the opportunity. It is still unknown who will win."
Xiahou Dun replied in a humming voice: "As for your order, let's make arrangements for this."
Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, sat on the ground with Chen Gong and Cheng Yu. Cao Ren, who was accompanying the guards, hurriedly took off the cloak on his body and covered it on Cao Cao. Cao Cao was not polite, and wrapped the cloak on his body, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said to Cheng Yu and Chen Gong beside him: "It is not good to march when it is dark, and then make plans after dawn."
Cheng Yu, Chen Gong said: "The lord is wise."
Cao Cao said, "What I worry about is only wonderful talent and happy to be the two of you. I don't know what's going on now?"
Cheng Yu thought for a while and replied, "Lord, don't worry, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin are both wise and brave. The bandits are definitely not the enemy. At this time, they may have already killed the defeated bandits and come to join."
Chen Gong said: "There is another possibility."
Cheng Yu's expression moved and said, "What the public opinion means is that Xiahou and Le Jin, two generals, may return to the army and take the chief club?"
Chen Gong said: "That's right."
Cao Cao was also moved and said, "If we can regain the Changshe and take back the food and supplies, our army will have no worries."
Chen Gong said: "To be on guard, someone should be sent to Liu Yanzhou for help."
Cao Ren volunteered: "Lord, I'm willing to go."
Cao Cao thought for a moment and nodded, "Zi Xiao, lead the elite troops of our troops to break west first, and then turn the road north to Chenliu."
Cheng Yu said: "The lord can send a small group of elite soldiers to harass the enemy, and can also confuse the public. When the 800 bandits are unprepared, General Zixiao will lead the elite soldiers to advance westward, which will be successful."
Cao Cao nodded and said in a deep voice: "What Zhongde said is very good, where is Li Dian?"
...
Ma Yue rolls over and gets off the horse, sits on the grass, stretches his legs as straight and stretches as possible to relieve the extreme fatigue caused by the whole day of riding and running. After all, people are flesh and blood, not King Kong! Cao Cao's Han army will be tired, and Ma Yue's eight hundred bandits will also feel tired.
"Zhou Cang."
Zhou Cang took two quick steps, immediately jumped forward, and said in a deep voice: "The last one will be there."
Ma Yue said: "Immediately, the entire army will not be removed from the armor, and the horse will not be removed from the saddle. Let's rest on the spot, wait until dawn is fully nourished, and then deal with Cao Cao's Han army."
"Affect the order."
Zhou Canghu roared and took the order and left.
Pei Yuanshao came up and asked in confusion: "Boqi, why didn't he defeat the Han army in one go? Although our army was exhausted, the Han army was even more unbearable. This was a good opportunity to break the enemy."
Ma Yue was cold in his heart. Pei Yuanshao was thinking too simple. Three or four thousand elite Han troops were curled into a group, like hedgehogs covered with needles. Even if eight hundred bandits were as fast as lions, it would be difficult to swallow them in one bite. What's more, the only dozens of heavy-armored iron cavalry had already been unable to charge after a long-distance attack. If the light cavalry was used to shake the enemy's formation, even if they could defeat the Han army, there would probably not be many cavalry left in the eight hundred bandits!
Ma Yue is not Emperor Ling of Han. Emperor Ling of Han has endless bargaining funds and can withstand consumption. However, Ma Yue only has eight hundred bandits. He cannot afford it.
Guo Tu, who was huddled beside Ma Yue, looked at Ma Yue and saw that Ma Yue had no intention of speaking. He squeezed out a smile on his face and explained to Pei Yuanshao: "Captain Pei, the attack can certainly defeat the Han army at this time, but the casualties of our army must be quite large. If we drag it for a while, Cao's army has no food and will inevitably be hungry and exhausted. At that time, we will lead the army to attack him and raise our hands to break it."
Pei Yuanshao suddenly said, "This is the fate."
As he was speaking, a deafening cry of killing suddenly sounded in front of him. With the torch, a Han army rushed out of the formation and swam aimlessly towards the West.
Ma Yue's brow jumped gently, his expression was cold, but Pei Yuanshao jumped up in shock and said sternly: "Boqi, I will take people to destroy this group of Han troops."
Guo Tu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Captain Pei is not allowed. This is a trick to harass the Han army. He will definitely return it on his own soon, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it."
"Hmm? A harassment plan?"
Pei Yuanshao's expression was fixed when he heard this. Seeing that Ma Yue had no intention of ordering to attack, he did not dare to act rashly. After a moment, the Han army retreated as Guo Tu said. Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but admire him and raised his thumbs up to Guo Tu and said, "Mr. Guo Tu is really a magical plan."
"Uh, this~~"
Guo Tu looked at Ma Yue with an awkward expression.
...
Changshe Dongxie.
Taking advantage of the night, an army of more than a thousand people was approaching quietly. On the east gate tower, two huge torches were inserted diagonally above the gate tower, illuminating the entire tower as bright as day. Under the flames, more than a dozen Yellow Turban bandits were sitting lazily together, chatting to relieve their boredom. Only two bandits were guarding behind the women's wall listlessly, looking at the dark wilderness outside the city in a daze.
Le Jin crawled forward with his elbow and walked a few steps forward, approached Xiahou Yuan, and said in a narrow voice: "General, it seems that the bandits' defense is very relaxed."
"Yeah." Xiahou Yuan nodded in a flash and said in a deep voice, "How could these idiots think that we dared to attack the city by surprise? We will definitely win this battle!"
...
In Changshe City, Bian Xi was holding a banquet in the camp to reward the soldiers. Xiahou Yuan was right. Bian Xi never thought that the Han army, which had been killed by 800 bandits, would dare to come to deceive the city, so he sent only a small number of bandits to guard the four gates, and most of the bandits gathered in the camp to drink and have fun.
Bian Xi camp gathered dozens of thieves, big and small. Bian Xi held up the wine cup and said loudly: "Come on, brothers, drink this cup all over. It's been a long time since I've been over. I'll definitely stop drunk today, hahaha~~"
Almost all the leaders of all places raised their glasses from afar, looking happy, but one of them looked worried, and ignored the occasion and the atmosphere. He stood up and said loudly: "General, the situation is not yet determined and the battle is unclear. We must not slacke in defense. Can the enemy take advantage of the opportunity?"
Seeing that he was disturbed by others, Bian Xi said unhappy: "I have received the news of good news. The 800 bandits of the General have won a great victory in Yingshui. Now, Liao Hua and Sun Zhong each led two elite troops to intercept them on the road, and the Han army is about to be destroyed. How is the situation not determined and the situation of the battle is unclear? Don't say more."
The little leader said unyieldingly: "In this way, the villain asks to patrol the various sects."
Bian Xi was furious and was about to explode. Suddenly, he heard four killing sounds outside the east gate, like a mountain collapse and tsunami, with a terrifying momentum. In a short while, a bandit soldier rushed into the camp in panic and said to Bian Xi: "General, the big thing is wrong. The Han army pretended to be General Sun Zhong and defeated the army and took advantage of the night to deceive the city, and had already entered the city."
"What did you say!" Bian Xi was shocked and said in a lost voice, "How is this possible? The Han army has clearly been defeated by Yu Yingshui. How can we come to Changshe to deceive the city again?"
The bandits said, "It's true, general."
"How many Han troops are there?"
"There are four or five thousand people!"
"What? Four or five thousand people!"
Bian Xi was shocked and lost seven souls. The Yingchuan soldiers originally had more than 6,000 soldiers, but Liao Hua and Sun Zhong took away two thousand people respectively. There were only more than 2,000 bandit soldiers left in the city. How to resist the attack of the four or five thousand elite Han troops? The leaders of all sizes were also scared and looked at each other and were at a loss.
Only the little leader who had just advised him roared: "The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth, so I'm afraid he will be a bird!"
Bian Xiru woke up and shouted: "Hurry up, reorganize the army immediately and prepare to face the enemy~~"
In an instant, the long and long horn sounded loudly. When the bandits were drinking and eating meat in the camp heard the horn sound, they ran out of the camp in a mess. Most of them were dressed in disarray and had no armor. Many of the bandits could not even find their weapons, and ran out with their hands empty-handed to gather.
...
"kill!"
Xiahou Yuan shouted loudly, rode alone and slashed with a long sword, slashing everywhere.
"Roar~"
Le Jin roared, and quickly took a quick step. He cut a thief general to the ground with two swords. After further investigation, he pulled the steel knife in his hand towards the thief general's neck and then picked it up. The thief general's head had been cut off. Le Jin held the knife in his right hand, picked up the thief general's head with his left hand, held it high above the top, shouting loudly, "If the Han army is powerful, if it is blocked, it will die~~"
"If the Han army is powerful, if you block it, you will die~~"
Witnessing the master's bravery, the Han army soldiers were greatly encouraged. Because of the fatigue caused by fighting and running all day, they were wiped out. They howled and rushed towards the Yellow Turban bandits who had not yet come back to their senses. The bandits were caught off guard and instantly got in chaos. They fled in all directions under the pursuit of the Han army.
The bandits' back formation, Bian Xi's helmet was tilted above his head, wearing two light armors, holding a broken waist knife in his hand, and was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Don't retreat, don't retreat! Those who retreat in the battle will be killed without mercy~~"
However, no one paid attention to Bian Xi at all. More bandits escaped from him like frightened rabbits, ignoring the broken knife in his hand.
"Die!"
Xiahou Yuan finally came to the horse, slashed the gate with one sword, and rode forward.
A thunderous shout came from Bian Xi's ear. Bian Xi could not turn around and felt a chill in her neck. Then she suddenly flew up lightly. In a suffocating silence, the whole world began to rotate and roll, and in a suffocating silence, Bian Xi strangely saw another "self" still standing inside the gate, but a head was missing on her neck. The next moment, endless darkness attacked, swallowing Bian Xi's last touch of consciousness ruthlessly.
"Kill~~"
Xiahou Yuan raised his sword to slid the sky, whistled up to the sky, and the Han army flocked to him like locusts behind him.
"Shoot the arrow!"
"Swish swish swish swish swish~~"
Just as Xiahou Yuan thought the overall situation was set, a cold and silence sounded leisurely from the front. In an instant, the sharp arrow pierced through the sky and roared, and flew over the cold night sky to the head of the Han army. Then it poured down like a storm. Xiahou Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned out to be an archer!
Le Jin's eyes suddenly turned blood red. It was this bastard again! Even if this guy turned into gray, Le Jin would never forget! He and Li Dian brought 500 elite soldiers in the city, and 400 people were buried in this guy's hands!
"Oh, my eyes~"
"Uh~"
"Ao~"
Amid the continuous howlings, the Han soldiers bravely fell down in front of the Han army.
"Roar! Rush over~~Kill all these damn thieves~~"
Xiahou Yuan's eyes were about to break, and shouted loudly, urging the horse to advance quickly. Light infantry lacking shields and heavy armor protection, if they want to defeat the archers, the only way is to accelerate the charge. As long as they travel through the death zone and kill in front of the archers, these damn thieves will be no different from the sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Sa~"
The sound of sharp breaking through the air sounded, and the cold coldness came from the left front. Xiahou Yuan's eyes sterned, and he instinctively raised his sword to block it. He heard a sharp "clang" sound, and a dazzling spark splashed in the night sky. A sharp wolf-toothed arrow had already been flew by him.
"So ~~"
