Chapter 122 Two battlefields
The first one to start was Zhao Yun. This time, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan divided their troops to attack. Xiahou Yuan led his troops from the south to block Jiang Xiong's fleet that was shooting arrows along the river, while putting pressure on Zhao Yun from the south, while Cao Ren led his main force to launch a fierce attack from the west. There were no rivers here, and it was the world of the army. Cao's army could fully exert its advantages.
Zhao Yun defended on both sides, and was short of troops, and was at a disadvantage. However, relying on the strong city and the 300 civilians who Liu Yi gave him to cooperate with 200 soldiers to block Xiahou Yuan, he led more than 700 soldiers to fight Cao Ren in the western camp.
The defenders of the city walls had a long range, but they were not strong enough to form a complete suppression. After Cao's army almost used their lives to add a road with their shields, the archers behind also launched a counterattack. The arrow clusters of both sides met in the air, and then they gathered towards the other party's camp with a scream of death.
A thunderbolt chariot from Cao's army was also brought behind. With the harsh creaking sound, stone bombs as big as human heads bombarded again and again. Although few could accurately bombard the village walls, the power that broke through the air, like a meteorite falling from the sky, was a fatal blow to the morale of the soldiers guarding the camp.
Even if the camp has the attribute of improving morale, it cannot withstand such a blow. Zhao Yun was wearing the armor of an ordinary general. If he was wearing white robe and silver armor at this time, he would almost be moving a target on the wall of the village. The enemy's arrow clusters would definitely chase him.
Holding a strong bow in his hand, the thunder chariot was too far away. Even if Zhao Yun found that standing on the wall or bracket of the village would increase the range a lot, his arrows could not keep up with such a long distance. The strong bow kept opening and closing, and the bow string trembled, and a Cao army would definitely be killed. Moreover, Zhao Yun was not picking ordinary Cao army, but some grassroots generals of the opponent. The bow strings in his hands sounded continuously. Zhao Yun could no longer remember that he had killed several Cao army generals and their arms had already started to numb, but he could not stop. This was also the only way he could improve his morale and weaken the morale of the opponent.
The cold clusters of arrows were like chains that seduced the soul and took their lives, and almost all the arrows were shot. Every time, many generals of Cao army fell to the ground one by one, and hated and afraid of Zhao Yun. Every time they saw Zhao Yun pulling the bow, their hearts suddenly rose and began to shrink.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was constantly wandering, and with his own strength, Cao Ren was furious and attracted several soldiers with good shooting skills. He did not do anything else. He just chased Zhao Yun to shoot arrows. Even if he couldn't kill Zhao Yun, he could not let him shoot his generals so easily. At the same time, he sent shield soldiers to protect generals at all levels.
Cao Ren's dispatch greatly restricted Zhao Yun's performance. Moreover, he shot arrows one after another, and Zhao Yun's arms began to get sore, and his hit rate began to drop significantly, and Cao's morale was rekindled.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun ordered people to take out the turbulent oil tank sent by Liu Yi yesterday and use a simple launch device to eject it. The device could only eject about twenty steps. It was the most dense place of Cao's army. When it was smashed by the turbulent oil tank, it was still a trivial matter. The most important thing was that the turbulent oil splashed all over the ground. Zhao Yun ordered people to shoot with rockets. In an instant, twenty steps outside the camp turned into a sea of fire. Countless Cao's soldiers were stained with turbulent oil, screaming and rolling back and forth in the sea of fire, igniting the place that had not been ignited. The originally rigorous formation suddenly became chaotic.
Zhao Yun had assembled archers from the beginning, and saw this, he hurriedly ordered the archers to start shooting. He ignored the Cao army in the front and just shot arrows in the back of the other party. The Cao army screamed and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Cao Ren had no choice but to order his troops to bypass the sea of fire and shoot from both sides. Zhao Yun took advantage of the opponent's gap in the division of troops and gathered archers to attack Cao's army head-on. Cao Ren was not showing weakness, but stepped up his attack on the other side.
The fight between the two sides started in the morning and lasted until noon. The soldiers on both sides were exhausted. Cao Ren replaced the troops in front, and the troops who had not participated in the battle in the rear continued to attack fiercely. Zhao Yun had no replacements, so he could only lead the soldiers to continue to defend the death. The decline began to appear little by little, and lived up to the bravery in the morning. However, Zhao Yun was also quite skilled in the army, and was in a state of vain and real way. Relying on his condescending position, he could see clearly Cao Ren's defense, and occasionally sold flaws to lure Cao Ren to attack, taking the opportunity to shoot with a crossbow, which made Cao Ren suffer a loss.
In the end, Cao Ren simply stopped caring about the opponent's flaws, but relied on the large number of people to launch a full attack, forcing Zhao Yun to defend with all his might.
Just when the battle was fierce, four mother-and-child boats quietly approached the Cao army camp behind the Cao army camp under the cover of trees on the river bank.
Seeing that the woods had disappeared, Cao's army camp was standing on the back of the water, but there was still a distance between the camp and the river bank. At this stage, it was no longer possible to get close to it secretly.
Wei Yan looked at the surrounding environment and said to the helmsman who was driving the ship: "Drive the speed to the maximum and force it to pass through!"
"Here!" Several helmsmen agreed. The mother and child ship had a mechanism, and going up against the current was the most labor-saving. The four ships Liu Yi picked were the four fastest. The helmsmen stepped on the pedals to soar to the maximum speed. At the same time, the sails were also raised. There were soldiers who used oars to help row on the boat. When the Cao army, who was guarding the camp, found something wrong, Wei Yan had already started to land.
“Woo~”
The sound of trumpets in the village sounded, but it was only a camp that could accommodate 8,000 people. Although Cao Ren left a school to stay to guard the camp, he was not in one place, but scattered in the entire camp, and he gathered somewhere for a moment.
Wei Yan jumped out of the boat, estimated the distance, stared at Cao's army at the gate, took a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the general guarding the camp with one arrow. The general was ordering the soldiers to gather, and the arrow cluster that had penetrated through the air shot directly through his chest. The general's movement stopped immediately, screamed and fell from the gate.
"kill!"
Although they were both guarded by a thousand people, the difficulty of guarding the camp of ten thousand people and the camp of ten thousand people was different. Wei Yan waved his long sword in his hand, led the soldiers, and then rushed to the gate after taking his men and horses off the ship.
The soldiers guarding the camp quickly fired arrows, but the number of people was not large. The sparse clusters of arrows fell on the fully armed soldiers of Mocheng and were bounced away. Wei Yan ran the fastest. Before the opponent could shoot the second round of arrows, he had already rushed to the bottom of the gate. He pulled out two clusters of arrows and shook his hands as hidden weapons and threw them out, shooting two Cao troops. Cao's camp was not as strong as Zhao Yun's side, and was less than two people tall. Wei Yan put the knife on his back and stepped on the wall of the village. With the momentum, he rushed up like a monkey along the corner of the gate and the wall of the village.
