The swordsmen with thick armor became more and more courageous, screaming like bloodthirsty wolves, and soon occupied several open spaces on the top of the tower, giving the first soldiers who came up behind them a foothold.
But Cao Bing became more and more frightened the more he killed, and gradually showed his cowardice.
In fact, these Cao soldiers are also considered fierce soldiers, and their individual combat effectiveness is not much worse than that of these first soldiers who are mostly on the battlefield for the first time.
However, the huge difference in equipment made them completely lose their fighting spirit, the enemy's whole body was covered by rattan armor, and only the throat was the weak point, but the throat was only a few inches wide, where was it so easy to be hit, not to mention that the invincible hundred steel knives in the hands of the enemy were simply their nightmares.
Those Cao soldiers with knives are better, although when they meet the enemy's blades, they will be cut out of a series of knife marks, but they will not be cut off with a knife, and those who hold halberds, the barrels of the guns are all wooden, under the cutting of the hundred steel knives that blow hair and break hair, they will become nunchucks when they go down, and then they will become two batons, and they can only fight the enemy empty-handed.
This was not a fair battle at all, the Cao army at the head of the city was losing and retreating, and the first army that took advantage of it was pressing forward step by step like a chicken.
The eyes of these pioneers showed a look of fanaticism and excitement in their eyes.
It can be said that it is extremely high, it is said that the battlefield has no eyes, life and death are only a moment, in fact, it is just that, you look at those enemy troops, one by one like little rabbits, can only be pitiful and let us slaughter.
"Brothers, it's really fucking enjoyable," a pioneer shouted excitedly, and slashed an unarmed Cao Jun to the ground with a knife.
The Cao Jun who fell in a pool of blood looked at the first soldier with vicious eyes, and before he died, he opened his mouth to say something, but finally couldn't say it, I enjoy your mother, change into Lao Tzu and have your equipment, and kill more than you The Xiandeng army on the city tower is surging more and more, and the corridor is full of Cao Bing's blood and corpses, but the Xiandeng army has few casualties, and Cao Bing is only one line away from collapse.
Gao Shun, who was holding a steel knife and slashing in the Cao soldiers, cut through thorns and thorns all the way, and fought his way out of the dense Cao army, and went straight to Liu Yan, who was shouting in the crowd, and more than a dozen generals behind him followed him with knives tightly behind him.
"The city is in the people, the city is broken, give Lao Tzu to resist, and those who retreat without permission are beheaded" Liu Yan in the crowd was howling hysterically, like a madness.
Oh Gao Shun suddenly swung his long knife and cut off a few spears that stabbed from it, and then the snowy steel knife danced again and again, only to kill blood splashed everywhere, and stepped on Cao Bing's bloody bones, and slaughtered Liu Yan.
Liu Yan, who was in the midst of the chaos, finally felt the danger, and was so frightened that he shouted: "Hurry, stop him" Before the words fell, Gao Shun's majestic body had already swept up, slammed into the enemy thicket, and after the steel knife that sharpened iron like mud slashed a few heads, and then slashed at the long sword that Liu Yan was struggling to block. while The long sword in Liu Yan's hand was slashed to the ground under Gao Shun's huge force, and the next moment, Gao Shun's eyes showed a hideous look, and the long knife swept up again in the loud shout.
Cha Liu Yan's big head flew up, and blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain, sprinkling Gao Shun's face all over his body.
Gao Shun's long knife shook, raised Liu Yan's head high, and shouted like thunder: "Liu Yan's head is here, you don't give up your arms and surrender, when will you wait?"
As soon as the words fell, the already desperate Cao army finally collapsed completely, and the Cao army in front threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender, while the Cao army behind them fled to the city.
The White Horse City was broken, and the first battle of the Tengjia army was won The wheels are rolling, the sound of horses' hooves, and a large number of military horses galloping on the field in the dust, with flags like clouds, halberds like forests, no head in front and no tail in the back, like a black dragon.
Among the dense flags, a banner with the word "Cao" is particularly eye-catching.
Under the banner, Cao Cao was dressed in a red coat, and his crotch claws were yellow and lightning, and he hurried under the embrace of dozens of Cao generals.
After receiving Liu Yan's urgent report, it only took him two days to lead an army of 100,000 horses and foot to travel more than 100 miles, which can be described as a god speed.
Because he knew that with Liu Yan and Zhang Xiu's ability, he would not be able to support Zhang Liao and Gao Shun for long.
Although he pushed almost all the way to Xuzhou during the expedition, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun left a deep impression on him.
It's a pity that the two strongest generals under Lu Bu defected to Gongsun Bai, leaving only Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng and others to him.
Where heaven and earth meet in front of you, a mountain suddenly emerged, and someone beside you said: "Qi Lu Gong, there is White Horse Mountain in front, and twenty miles north of White Horse Mountain is White Horse City." ” Cao Cao's spirits were greatly lifted, he raised his horsewhip, and said in a loud voice: "Order the whole army, hurry up the march, and be sure to rush to White Horse City before dark." ” Behind him, the embroidered flags were unfurled, and the big flags rolled like waves, passing the orders layer by layer.
Just as the army was about to march to the foot of White Horse Mountain, several scouts suddenly galloped towards them.
"Qi Lu Gong, White Horse City was broken by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and General Zhang and Liu Taishou were all killed" "What" Cao Cao was so startled that he almost fell off his horse. 20,000 elite soldiers held the city, even if 100,000 soldiers and horses attacked it in less than ten days and half a month, it was impossible to capture it, not to mention that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were only 50,000 newly recruited soldiers from Hebei, could not break through the city in two days.
"Could it be that Zhang and Liu are opening the city" Behind Cao Cao, the furious general Cao Ren first thought of the defenders and the enemy, but stopped abruptly halfway through the words, Zhang and Liu were both killed in battle, what kind of enemy is it "How the city was broken," he shouted angrily to the leading scout.
The scout saw that Cao Ren was furious and his expression was extremely terrifying, and he hurriedly replied tremblingly: "General Qiyu, the thief army has 3,000 soldiers who died first, all of them are dressed in treasure armor, invulnerable, impermeable to arrows and stones, and they are holding treasure knives that are as iron as clay, and they are all well-trained, and the defenders cannot resist them, so they are broken."
"Fart" Cao Ren lifted the scout up, and scolded angrily, "Dafan treasure helmets and armor are nothing more than gold and iron, if you can be invulnerable, arrows and stones are impermeable, at least forty or fifty catties, such a heavy thing, how can you bear the siege of the city, you dare to bully the general."
The scout hurriedly said: "The small sentence is true, the armor worn by the thief army is neither gold nor iron, nor leather, according to the comrades who escaped from the city, the armor of the enemy army seems to be made of vines, and it seems to be extremely light and has no sense of heaviness. ” Wow The generals behind Cao Cao all gasped, if the enemy army was wearing this kind of armor, even if the strength was several times that of them, how could they be the enemy Although Cao Cao was horrified, he was not as calm as Cao Ren, the expression on his face had already regained his composure, and he said indifferently: "In the Central Plains, there are very few vines, and ordinary vines are difficult to make armor, not to mention that if such a treasure armor wants to be made, it will take at least three or five years. ” After speaking, the horse whip pointed to the White Horse Mountain not far ahead: "Since the White Horse City has been broken, I think that the next step of the thief army is to attack Yangwu City, it is better to set up camp in this mountain, block the thief army, and collect the defeated soldiers at the same time." ” Everyone thought so, so the 100,000 army was stationed on the White Horse Mountain, for a time the mountains were all over the camp of the Cao army, and it was time to make dinner, and the smoke curled up, so not spectacular.
Cao Cao led his army to camp on White Horse Mountain for two or three days, and gradually collected tens of thousands of deserters.
During this period, it was discovered that Gongsun Bai had led all the troops to come only to the white horse, so he sent people to Pegasus to spread the book all over the place, except for Wuyuan and Puyang, which were close to the white horse, the rest of the soldiers and horses all left only 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all returned to Guandu, assembled and stood by.
At the same time, he sent Cao Hong, Lu Qian, Liu Ye, Cai Yang, Shi Jian and others to various states and counties to recruit soldiers and horses, and prepare to fight Gongsun Bai to the death.
On the fourth day, the scout suddenly reported: "Gongsun Bai's army has been stationed in Baima City, and sent the thief general Zhang He as the vanguard, leading 60,000 horse infantry, wanting to attack Yangwu City and kill Baima Mountain." ” At noon, where heaven and earth meet, a dark cloud floats in, gradually surging in the direction of White Horse Mountain.
Cao Cao, who stood at the highest place of White Horse Mountain, smiled coldly and said: "Gongsun Bai crisscrosses the north, and the people who fight are just cavalry, and the so-called Taiping Army is just an auxiliary cavalry, following behind to transport grain and grass, and collect prisoners, how dare you be the vanguard to kill him for a while today and frustrate Gongsun Xiao'er's spirit." ” Indeed, the Taiping Army, which was dominated by infantry, has been living in the shadow of the three-way cavalry since its founding.
And Zhang He is also not famous.
Although he was brilliant in the early years when he fought in Liaodong, he has been very low-key in recent years.
Over the years, he has been guarding Jizhou, making the defense line in the south of Jizhou impregnable, but those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, so even Cao Mengde, who is quite capable of knowing people, will look away.
Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and it was already three or four miles away, Cao Cao ordered to lead his army down the mountain to meet the enemy.
In addition to the 20,000 military horses who held their positions on the mountain, the remaining 90,000 troops rushed down the mountain, reorganized the queue, and prepared to meet the enemy.
Knock knock The drums of war sounded, and a group of soldiers and horses took the lead out of the queue and headed north, and when the soldiers saw the vanguard of the army and horses, they couldn't help but be surprised.
The first to go into battle was the baggage battalion, with countless people, miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliaries, pushing grain trucks and baggage forward.
The next step out of the ranks was not the front army, which had always charged ahead, but the rear army, which was relatively weak in combat effectiveness, then the middle army, and then the elite soldiers of the front army.
Lu Qian, who was beside Cao Cao, couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked in a lost voice: "The grain and grass are in front, and the soldiers are behind, what do you mean?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The grain and grass are behind, and they are mostly plundered, so they are in the front." ” Lu Qian was still puzzled and asked, "What if it is plundered by the enemy?"
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The grain and grass are in front, if you are defeated, you will be plundered, then there will be no food in the army, how dare the soldiers not move forward bravely, and I have my own plans." ” Lu Qian had no choice but to keep silent, and the other generals didn't dare to ask even though they had doubts in their hearts, only Jia Xu and Cheng Yu looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.
