Chapter 199: Cao Cao defeated Dong Zhuo and burned Luoyang


"Brother, big brother" As Xia Houyuan fell off the horse, the brothers behind him rushed over to protect Xia Houyuan who was dizzy after falling in the rain, but these people soon paid a heavy price.

At the price, wave after wave of arrow rain came, and Cao Jun fell from his horse one by one.

Xu Rongjun did not come into contact with these Cao Jun cavalry.

They always kept a distance from these Cao Jun cavalry with their superb riding skills, and kept greeting them with arrows.

When Xia Houyuan came to his senses and was pulled onto the horse by his brothers, he The five hundred cavalrymen under his command had been killed or wounded with very few left.

Cao Xiu, the nephew of the clan, kept waving the sword in his hand to knock away all the arrows he shot, and shouted: "Protect your uncle quickly, leave quickly!"

With the soldiers suffering heavy casualties, Xia Houyuan's 500 cavalrymen were left with only a few dozen.

They were unable to fight against these Xu Rong cavalrymen who were superb in both riding and shooting skills.

If they didn't leave, they would all be lost.

Here, while they suffered such heavy losses, they didn't even touch the edges of Xu Rong's cavalry.

"Sir, General Xiahou was defeated on the right wing."

A herald rushed over to report to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao turned around and looked, and sure enough he saw Cao Xiu leading dozens of cavalry to protect Xia Houyuan and fleeing back to the main formation in panic, while the five hundred Northern Army cavalry were chasing after him, firing arrows non-stop.

Cao Cao's cavalry was shot from time to time. fall.

Cao Cao's face was calm, but he was already a little panicked in his heart.

An unstable right wing would pose a huge threat to the entire military formation.

He said to Li Dian: "The enemy cavalry is good at riding and shooting, but may have poor close combat effectiveness.

You can take command in person." , use shields to block the opponent's arrows, be sure to stabilize your position, and the right wing must not be disordered, otherwise our army will be in danger."

"Yes."

Li Dian clasped his fists and hit the horse, turned around and galloped away to the right.

At this time, Xu Rong's infantry fish scale formation had already pressed forward.

At the front of the formation was a huge arrow-shaped formation.

There were three people in a group.

The two people in the front held a shield in one hand and a long sword in the other, and one person in the back held a spear.

All the soldiers in the entire military formation marched forward neatly step by step to the beat of the drums, and the huge momentum was coming.

The first few rows of Cao Jun's soldiers were frightened by the huge momentum, and their faces turned pale.

Some people started to retreat in small steps.

But immediately a military leader shouted loudly from behind: "Hold on, hold on to me.

Anyone who takes a step back will be killed."

The front row of Xu Rongjun's infantry used shields to form a dense shield with no gaps between the shields, while the spearmen behind them followed closely behind with spears in hand and thrust forward at any time.

"Boom" Xu Rongjun and Cao Jun finally collided, and the shields hit the shields with a loud sound.

The wrestling between the two armies began.

The soldiers on both sides used their shields to hold each other against each other and pushed forward with all their strength, but no one took advantage at the beginning.

A military leader in Xu Rong's army shouted: "Spear soldiers, squat and stab!"

The second row of spearmen squatted together and stabbed the feet of the enemy in the front row with their spears.

"Ah" Cao's soldiers in the front row were stabbed in the feet and calves one by one and fell down screaming, and then were stabbed in the body again.

The first row of Cao Jun's shield and spear soldiers were defeated.

Xu Rong's front row of sword and shield soldiers quickly pressed forward, stepping on the fallen Cao Jun soldiers and pushing their bodies against the second row of Cao Jun's spear soldiers.

The advantage of equipment in the battle came into play at this time.

Cao Cao raised his troops in a hurry.

Only a small number of the troops were equipped with shields.

A large number of soldiers only held a spear and wore a uniform military uniform.

Only team officers and above were equipped with them.

Long sword and armor.

The Northern Army was different.

It was not only well-equipped, but also well-trained, and could also skillfully arrange battle formations.

The sword and shield soldiers in the front row of the Northern Army supported the shield with their bodies and huddled their heads behind the shield.

From time to time, they stretched out half of their heads to observe the enemy's situation.

Once they found an opportunity to take advantage, they immediately drew out their swords to kill.

However, Cao Jun could not do this.

Their front row soldiers Soldiers not only have to hold shields, but also spears.

At such a close range, the spears cannot be used at all and can only be beaten passively.

This is the advantage and beauty of the military formation method.

Liu Cheng divided Yishi into three groups, each group had three people, two sword and shield soldiers and one spear soldier.

The lethality produced by their cooperation was absolutely To be higher than a loose soldier.

In just one cup of tea, Cao's army could no longer withstand it.

All the seven rows of soldiers in front were killed or routed.

At this time, the Northern Army's formation was still advancing slowly.

Cao Cao's face turned pale when he saw it.

He thought that he had read many military books and knew the battle formations well.

He could win the battle with any command on the battlefield.

But now it seems that reading military books and whether he can fight are two different things.

Cao Cao calmed down and immediately ordered: "Order the archers to come forward and shoot.

They are not allowed to stop without orders."

Le Jin immediately gave the order, and ten rows of archers were ordered to step forward behind three rows of infantry and start firing arrows at the Northern soldiers in front.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A large number of arrows flew out like raindrops.

The Northern Army infantrymen who were caught off guard were hit by arrows one after another, and suffered heavy blows in the blink of an eye.

The offensive of the first few rows of Northern Army infantrymen who lost their fresh force slowed down and became somewhat weak.

At this time, a loud shout came from the Northern Army formation: "Shield formation, rise!"

The Northern Army infantrymen at the back quickly came forward and put their shields on their heads.

They quickly gathered together while running.

The soldiers in the front put their shields in front of them, and the soldiers behind put their shields on their heads. , so that he can protect both the front of him and the top of his head.

The flying arrows will fall on the shield one after another and make a clanging sound, and they will no longer be able to cause substantial casualties to the Northern Army infantry.

After these people were replenished, the front row of Northern Army infantry had back support and pushed forward again.

Cao Jun was beaten back steadily, and rows of Cao Jun soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing that Cao Jun was about to be unable to withstand it, a loud roar from Le Jin came from among Cao Jun: "The front row infantry is using Hold the shield, hold it tight, and the spearmen in the back row will attack."

Le Jin learned what he was learning and sold it immediately.

He discovered the attack coordination method of the Northern Army infantry.

He found that the infantry in the front row of the Northern Army basically only used their shields to withstand the enemy, and the enemy was mainly killed by the spearmen in the back, so he immediately also He had an idea and issued such an order.

Cao's soldiers received the order and began to execute it.

At first, it did cause some obstacles to the attack of the Northern Army's infantry.

The spearmen in the back row of both sides squatted on the ground and stabbed the feet and legs of the shield soldiers in the other side's front row.

This was also The shield soldiers in the front row of both sides had to lower their shields to block their legs and feet, only to expose their heads and chests.

The advantage of the Northern Army's sword and shield soldiers was demonstrated.

They raised their swords to kill the contradictory soldiers of Cao's army.

At such a close range, Cao's soldiers could not escape at all.

When the spearmen in the back row of Cao's army stood up to assassinate them, they immediately swung their swords to block.

Blocking, the spearmen behind him immediately assassinated the spearmen who went to kill Cao Jun.

The coordinated fighting was so wonderful.

Cao Jun could no longer hold back.

No matter how Le Jin adjusted and responded, the Northern Army infantry were able to use exquisite and tacit cooperation to kill Cao Jun's retreat.

After suffering heavy casualties, Cao Cao's army, which had not undergone much training, began to flee.

Cao Cao was at the end of his rope and could not think of any way to save the defeat.

He could only sigh: "Send the order, retreat, and escape as far back as you can."

Facing the huge gap in strength, no matter how many military books Cao Cao read, it was of no avail.

He could only watch his troops being defeated by Xu Rong's army.

Back then, the soldiers of the Northern Army were able to easily defeat the Yellow Turban Army, and now they could easily defeat the rabble Cao Cao had temporarily recruited.

Xu Rong sat on horseback and observed, and found that Cao Cao's army had been defeated, and Cao Cao's banner was moving to the rear.

He immediately ordered: "Cao's army is in ruins.

Send an order to blow the trumpet to launch a full-line attack.

The entire cavalry army is dispatched to flank Cao Jun's right wing, and the infantry Chase from the front" The rapid and passionate horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Northern Army raised their weapons and shouted loudly as they rushed towards Cao Jun.

Cao Jun began to flee in full force.

The voices of fleeing Cao Jun soldiers were everywhere on the north bank of Bian River.

He ran faster, taking off his clothes and armor one by one and throwing them on the ground to lighten his load.

Some even lost their weapons and only regretted that his parents had given him two fewer legs.

Xu Rong led his army in pursuit for more than 20 miles, killing more than 4,000 enemies and capturing more than 3,000 people.

Cao Cao only fled back with more than 2,000 defeated soldiers.

The river bank was littered with the corpses, flags and flags of the slain Cao soldiers.

Soldier armor.

On the west bank of the Sishui River, Liu Cheng, riding a red rabbit horse, had just stepped ashore from the pontoon bridge.

A messenger galloped over from the right side of the pontoon bridge.

The soldiers on the pontoon bridge gave way one after another.

The messenger galloped to Liu Cheng's side, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, Cao Cao of the Kwantung Allied Forces came to pursue our army, but was blocked by General Xu Rong on the north bank of the Bian River.

There was a huge battle between the two sides.

At present, Cao Cao's army has been defeated by General Xu Rong.

Our army killed more than 4,000 enemies and captured more than 2,000 people.

Cao Cao took the remaining troops and fled eastward.

General Xu Rong is leading his army to withdraw this way."

"Okay, Xu Rong really did not disappoint me."

Liu Cheng was overjoyed and clapped his hands in praise.

After thinking about it, he asked Xu Shu next to him: "Yuan Zhi, where is Wang Shuangbu now?"

Xu Shu cupped his fists and replied: "It should be about 20 miles northeast of our army, and we will be there soon."

"Leave three thousand of your men to guard the pontoon bridge and assist Xu Rong and Wang Shuang's troops in crossing the river.

Once all our troops have crossed the river, destroy the pontoon bridge immediately."

"Take orders" When Liu Cheng led his army through Xuanmen Pass, Zhao Rui galloped over to report to him: "My lord, Dong Zhuo's army has withdrawn from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and" "And why have you become so hesitant?"

Liu Cheng frowned and said displeased.

Zhao Rui gritted his teeth and said: "Furthermore, Dong Zhuo ordered the burning of the palace and most of the buildings in the city.

Now the entire Luoyang City is a sea of ​​fire."

"What?"

When Liu Cheng heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, and he shouted angrily: "Dong Zhuo is a thief!"

Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment and continued: "My lord, this is not the most irritating thing.

What's more, last night Dong Zhuo sent Li Jue and Guo Si to dig up the imperial mausoleum with soldiers and horses.

All the tombs of the previous emperors were dug up and the remains were They stole all the rare treasures buried in the tomb in the Zombie Wilderness.”

"Tie Dong, I swear to be incompatible with you," Liu Cheng roared like a mad beast
