"Anyone who stands in my way will die, kill, kill, kill!"
Although he had a huge advantage, he was unable to kill Xiahou Dun. Even though Zhao Yun had an extremely calm mind, a look of frustration appeared on his face. This was because in the previous fight, he had already He tried his best, but unfortunately he still fell short in the end. It won't be so easy to catch Xiahou Dun off guard next time. Of course, he was frustrated, and Zhao Yun didn't care too much, and he quickly adjusted. With his mentality, he rushed into the surging Cao army like flying, with a bright silver gun in his hand dancing like a wheel, and cut a bloody path in the dense Cao army.
"boom……"
As Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun broke into each other's military formations, the two opposing armies finally collided violently. Although the leading Tiger and Leopard Cavalry only had less than 700 left, their fighting power was extremely fierce. They are no worse than the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and their fighting will is extremely tenacious. Under the desperate situation, many soldiers were determined to fight for their lives, and they actually blocked the initial incompetence of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry with their weak force. Although the offensive was quickly disrupted by the Youzhou cavalry brigade that followed, it effectively curbed the Youzhou cavalry's aggressive attack and bought precious time for the Cao army's infantry who rushed up from behind. Soon, a A chaotic battle began outside Nancheng.
The advantage of the cavalry lies in its impact power and high mobility. If it lacks both, the result of the battle with the infantry may not be so wonderful. Obviously, due to the desperate interception of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhao Yun's troops Fell into a bitter battle, as time went by, this dilemma became more and more obvious. When he saw this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but become a little anxious. While rushing back and forth among the rebellious army, he looked around for Xiahou Dun's body. However, the battlefield was too chaotic, and it was difficult for him to find Xiahou Dun who was willing to avoid him for a while.
"Old thief, suffer death!"
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. When Zhao Yun was rushing back and forth, he suddenly discovered that there were more than a hundred Cao Jun cavalry in the southeast corner of the battlefield fighting with more than two hundred Youzhou cavalry. One of them, a brightly armored general, was Xiahou Dun. , was immediately overjoyed, and then clamped the horse's belly tightly, and then rushed towards the southeast corner like a flying horse. Wherever he passed, all the officers and soldiers of Cao's army who dared to come up to stop him were all picked up and turned into flying trapezes.
"The thief is seeking death!"
Xiahou Dun originally just wanted to break through the interception of Zhao Yun's troops, but he did not expect that after the war, his side would actually gain the upper hand, so he inevitably began to think of eating Zhao Yun's troops. Now, this idea is gradually becoming a reality, and Xiahou Dun has another How could he give up? When he saw Zhao Yun coming to kill him, he had no intention of getting out of the way. However, after hearing his loud roar, he twisted his horse's head and charged towards Zhao Yun at high speed.
"Dang, clang..."
After suffering a loss, Xiahou Dun obviously gained wisdom and no longer tried to win by cleverness. He fought Zhao Yun with all his moves, forcing Zhao Yun to fight head-on. Both sides' moves were wide open and closed, intensive. The crashing sound was as loud as rain hitting banana trees.
Zhao Yun was powerful, and Xiahou Dun was not bad either. After a fierce fight, thirty rounds passed in an instant, but it was still difficult to tell the difference. The difference was that Xiahou Dun became more and more flustered as the fight continued. , he is already fifteen years old. Although he is still in his prime, his strength may not have faded much, but his endurance is not as good as before. After such a head-on collision, it is obvious that he has some strength left behind. Those who stopped, just saw that the overall battle situation was in their own favor, so they gritted their teeth and supported themselves, hoping that their own soldiers could quickly defeat Zhao Yun's troops.
"The whole army attacks and goes in!"
Xiahou Dun's hope was destined to be nothing more than extravagant hope. Just as Zhao Yun's troops were gradually losing ground, smoke and dust were billowing from the west. Gongsun Mingji led more than 8,500 cavalry to the battlefield. With only one charge, he ordered Cao's army fell into chaos.
"Follow me, strike, strike!"
Just when Xiahou Dun's generals were about to collapse, they saw the south gate of Linzi City burst open. Cheng Yu, dressed in civilian clothes, was holding a spear and personally led his troops to rush out. Soon he joined forces with Xiahou Dun to fight with Youzhou The cavalry fought hard and fought endlessly, relying on their fierce strength to block the sharpness of the Youzhou cavalry, and the battlefield situation turned into a balanced one again.
"Yuan Rang, retreat quickly, the main force of the bandit army is approaching, no more fighting!"
Taking advantage of the power of the sudden attack of reinforcements from the city, Xiahou Dun quickly got rid of Zhao Yun's entanglement and led his troops to join Cheng Yu. Just when he was about to turn around and kill again, Cheng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold He grabbed Xiahou Dun's arm and shouted anxiously.
"Alas! Retreat, return to the city, retreat quickly!"
Although Xiahou Dun was extremely unwilling and worried about Xiahou Yuan's life and death, after hearing Cheng Yu's words, he did not dare to show off. He could only shout loudly and lead his troops to rush towards the city gate. Upon seeing this, Gongsun Ming was naturally unwilling to give up, and led his troops to chase after him. Unfortunately, when they reached the city, nearly two thousand archers suddenly appeared on the top of the city, shooting a barrage of arrows. Coming down, the Youzhou cavalry were forced to rein in their horses and retreat temporarily.
"Send the order, search everywhere outside the city, and be sure to wipe out the enemy's stragglers. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
By the time Zhang He led the main force of 30,000 infantry troops to Nancheng, the remnants of Cao Jun's army had already been defeated and retreated to the city. After this battle, the Youzhou Army had a great victory and basically defeated Cao Jun's main force. He was disabled, and even achieved the result of killing Xia Houyuan in formation. Unfortunately, he failed to take the opportunity to capture Linzi City. Gongsun Ming was not satisfied with this. After hurriedly arranging his troops and horses, he issued an order to the general.
At first glance, Gongsun Ming's general order seemed to be a way to vent his anger, but in fact it was not the case. The reason is very simple. In fact, there are not too many enemy troops that can be killed in the battle formation. Just like this, the number of enemy troops killed in this series of battles is very high. The total number of Cao Jun soldiers was only about 5,000, and the number of prisoners captured alive was only over 10,000. However, the number of Cao Jun soldiers who were defeated in Xixiali was as many as 28,000. After being eliminated separately, there is a great possibility that these defeated troops will gather together again. Whether they are fighting guerrillas outside the city or returning to the city to rebuild, they are a great threat to the Youzhou Army. If you are not careful, If things go wrong, it will cause heavy losses to the Youzhou Army. It is necessary to take advantage of the victory to nip all these unstable factors in the bud...
