Cao Chun's martial arts skills are mediocre, far from outstanding among Cao Jun's generals. However, when it comes to riding and shooting skills, there are not many Cao Jun who can beat him. He took action in a hurry, but the arrow's momentum was still astonishing. It was like a shooting star chasing the moon, and it broke through the distance in an instant, leaving Zhang He no time to react.
"oops!"
Zhang He never expected that Cao Chun would make such a move, looking back at the moon. When he realized something was wrong, he had no time to block it. In panic, he hurriedly leaned forward with all his strength and threw himself on the horse's neck.
"clang!"
Although Zhang He's skills were extremely strong, it was a pity that he had to avoid it in a hurry, but he still couldn't completely avoid it. After a crisp sound, the arrow hit the top of Zhang He's helmet, and the sharp arrow shot from the top of the helmet. It penetrated from the rear edge again, and the huge force immediately caused Zhang He's head to be pulled back suddenly, and a thin stream of blood soon flowed down his forehead, even though he was frightened. The hair on Zhang He's body stood on end, and he hurriedly touched the horse's belly and ran away from the diagonal stab. On the way, he frantically reached out and fumbled with his helmet a few times, only to realize that the injury was not as serious as he thought. , it was just a small scratch on the scalp.
"You thief, you dare to stab someone in the back, I will kill you!"
After calming down from the shock, his anger suddenly burst out, but when he saw Zhang He twisting the horse's head and forcibly turning it around, he cursed angrily and wanted to compete with Cao Chun again.
"Ming Jin!"
After Cao Chun hit Zhang He with an arrow, he originally planned to catch up with him and hit him, but he never thought that Zhang He was not seriously injured. Seeing Zhang He coming in a rage, he didn't dare to rush forward. With a flick of his horse's head, he headed towards the formation. He was defeated and retreated. When he saw this, Zhang He was unwilling to give up. He roared like thunder and chased forward. But at this moment, Zhao Yun, who was riding his horse and standing at the center of the army, quickly got off the road. After the general's order, a few of the ordering soldiers sounded the golden gong with great energy.
"General Zhao, why do you call me gold? You can still fight!"
The sound of the gong was an order. Although Zhang He was very reluctant, he could only return to the formation angrily, but his anger was still strong. When he saw Zhao Yun's face, he shouted angrily.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Zhang. Let's go bandage it first and watch Zhao defeat the enemy."
Zhao Yun glanced at the bloodstains on Zhang He's face and didn't explain much. He just gave an order with a calm expression.
"Um……"
Although the formation killed an enemy general, it was not considered a full success. Zhang He felt very unhappy. However, Zhao Yun was the commander-in-chief. Even if he was unwilling to do so, Zhang He did not dare to disobey orders, so he could only He groaned helplessly and stepped aside.
"Li Ang, Dadar Gu, each of you will lead a thousand bows and cavalry to attack the enemy's two wings, and the rest of the troops will follow the general to hold down the position!"
Zhao Yun ignored Zhang He's gloominess and looked at Cao's army's formation with sharp eyes like knives. Seeing that the enemy obviously did not intend to send any more generals to invite battle, he made it clear that he wanted to hold on until dark and take the opportunity to withdraw. , how could Zhao Yun be willing to follow Xia Houyuan's wishes easily? Zhao Yun raised his hand and issued the general's order in a cold voice.
"Follow me and attack!"
"Attack!"
Li Ang, a former general of the Bohai Navy, was also born in Baima Yicong. He is good at riding and shooting and is now a captain of the cavalry army. Dadargu is from Wuheng. He was originally the son of the chief of the Wuheng tribe and passed away in Junmi County last year. He was captured by the Youzhou Army in the First World War and later surrendered. Because of his outstanding riding and shooting skills, he was transferred to the newly formed archer and cavalry troops as Sima of another department. The two generals each unified a thousand archers and cavalry and divided them into two wings. At this time, I heard that Zhao Yun After giving the order, they roared almost at the same time, and each led his troops and horses to rush out of the formation, rushing towards Cao Jun's formation like thunder.
"Archers prepare!"
Although Xia Houyuan's troops were twice as many as Zhao Yun's, except for a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, the rest of the troops were all infantry. Due to lack of mobility, he did not dare to lead his troops to attack, and could only take defensive measures. Counterattack tactics, now seeing the Youzhou Army launching a brazen charge, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and then he roared, and soon he saw the three thousand archers in the front line of Cao's army, and they all raised their bows. Arrow, ready to give the Youzhou Army a head-on attack at any time.
"All the troops are here, turn left!"
"Follow me, turn right!"
Closer, closer, the two Youzhou cavalry troops rushing forward quickly rushed to a distance of less than a hundred steps from the two wings of Cao Jun. When they saw this, the nerves of the archers of Cao Jun on standby were already tense. At the extreme point, the fingers holding the bow string were already turning white due to excessive exertion. They were just waiting for Xia Houyuan's order to rain down arrows on the Youzhou cavalry. Unfortunately, their preparations were obviously in vain. , just when Xia Houyuan was about to wave his raised right hand, he heard Li Ang and Dadar Gu give orders almost at the same time, and the two galloping cavalry actually began to turn sharply, heading towards Cao Jun's formation at high speed. Both sides rushed over.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Before Xia Houyuan could figure out what kind of drama the Youzhou Army was singing, the Youzhou Army archers and cavalry who quickly passed by the two wings of Cao's army unceremoniously poured a dense rain of arrows at the extremely weak Cao Jun. On both sides of Cao Jun's formation, Cao Jun's soldiers who were caught off guard were crying and howling, and the formation on both wings was in chaos.
"Damn it, hurry up, give me the order, turn the left and right wings half-way back, the archers will concentrate on the two wings, and give me a counterattack. In addition, the shield swordsmen of the Chinese army will immediately move to the two wings and form a circular formation!"
When the two Youzhou cavalry armies launched an arrow rain offensive, Xia Houyuan was shocked to realize the plans of the two Youzhou cavalry armies. His eyes immediately turned red, and he hurriedly issued several general orders in an attempt to control the original situation. The square formation was adjusted to a round formation to stabilize Cao Jun's position.
"Turn around and try again!"
"The whole army is here, turn the horses' heads and keep shooting!"
Although Cao Jun is a well-trained army, it is not so easy to change the formation temporarily. Before Cao Jun could adjust in place, Li Ang and Dadargu led their troops to complete the U-turn one after another. The dense rain of arrows covered the two wings of Cao's army in chaos. Immediately, a large number of Cao's soldiers rolled to the ground howling miserably. The entire two wings were in chaos. With the general's orders blocked, they were already on the verge of collapse.
"Follow me, assault, assault!"
Seeing that the two wings of Cao's army were in complete chaos, and the middle road was also obviously loose due to the temporary change of formations, Zhao Yun would not miss this opportunity to defeat the enemy. After hearing his roar, the three thousand cavalry He rushed out, shouting and charging towards Cao Jun...
