Blindly defending like this will only kill and injure more soldiers.
"Everyone stops moving forward, runs around from both sides, and mounts and shoots!"
Ma Chao shouted orders, urged the horse under his crotch, and started to run along the Zhou'an area.
At the same time, Ma Chao put the silver gun back next to the horse's belly, took out the bow and arrow, and aimed at the rows of Cao Jun's archers and shot fiercely.
Cao Jun's archers fell in response, and the soldiers following Ma Chao followed suit. Xiliang cavalry soldiers were also excellent in riding and shooting in addition to charging and fighting.
If Cao Ang's position wasn't too far away, Ma Chao really wanted to kill this fellow with an arrow.
"Raise your shield!"
With an order, Cao Ying's archers abandoned their bows and arrows, picked up the shield at their feet, and raised it above their heads.
The flying arrows landed on the iron shield, making tinkling and crisp sounds, which kept ringing.
Apparently, Cao Jun also expected that the opponent would launch cavalry and shooting.
hateful!
A grumpy look appeared on Ma Chao's face, and he let out a low growl, feeling extremely aggrieved and angry.
If the long-distance attack fails, you must find a way to break through the barbed wire area in front of you!
Ma Chao got off his horse, and the school officer next to him saw him and shouted anxiously: "General, it's dangerous, get on your horse!"
Ma Chao turned a deaf ear to this, and ordered him sharply: "You continue to ride and shoot to suppress the opponent, don't let them fight back! Without my order, you are not allowed to cease fire!"
Afterwards, Ma Chao brought several unowned horses, drew out a short dagger from his waist, and stabbed the horses' buttocks fiercely.
The painful horse rushed forward desperately. When it stepped on the sharp barbed wire, because there was no pressure and gravity from the cavalry on its back, it galloped faster until it hit the cloth in the hands of Sergeant Cao. On the shield with iron nails, he fell to the ground and died.
A look of pity flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, without any hesitation, he immediately got on the horse, pointed the spear in his hand forward, and said in a heroic manner, "Follow the place where the horse has trod, follow me!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
With a long howl in Ma Chao's mouth, the left and right cavalry immediately approached and charged forward behind Ma Chao.
Cao Jun's shield soldiers in the front row stood firm and watched the iron cavalry rushing in front of them. The shields in their hands trembled slightly, but no one took a step back.
They are Cao Jun's last line of defense, the Eldest Young Master put his wealth and life in their hands, if they retreat, the Eldest Young Master will be in danger.
The archer drew the arrow again and shot towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao, who took the lead, was unafraid, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed forward, and soon rushed to the periphery of Cao Ying's central army.
Seeing a shield with iron nails erected in front of him, in order to clear the way for the soldiers behind, Ma Chao gave up the idea of jumping over, dragged the spear in his hand backwards, and then thrust it forward suddenly, with a thunderous sound. Potential.It seemed that what he was holding in his hand was not a spear known for its dexterity, but a stalwart hammer.
boom!
A huge force hit the shield, and the five or six soldiers holding the shield were instantly knocked out.
Seeing this, the shield pawns on the back floor immediately filled up again in order to prevent the enemy from rushing forward.
Afterwards, the spear matrix on the last three floors began to move forward, and the long spear shafts were put on the shoulders of the front shield pawns, stretching back and forth to stab forward.
For a while, the cavalry team led by Ma Chao fell into a stalemate here.What's even worse is that the crossbowmen in the rear didn't stop for a moment. Even a blind cat can catch a dead mouse, not to mention such a dense arrow.
During the stalemate, the cavalry around him kept falling off their horses, and even Ma Chao, the commander in chief, was hit by an arrow in his left breastbone. Fortunately, his armor was relatively strong, but the skin was only scratched, and there was no pain other than a little pain. Big problem.
"General, you can't go on like this!"
A small school not far away ran over, looking anxious. Many brothers had already been injured, and they couldn't rush over.Those spears and barbed shields were really annoying. Although they couldn't do much damage to them, they kept them out firmly.
In this case, the advantage of the cavalry was gone, and it was most effective to let the pawns charge and fight, but the soldiers below were fighting fiercely with Cao Jun, and no one could come to help them.
Under normal circumstances, exchanging one cavalry for ten pawns would be considered a loss-making business. In the current situation, it is a blood loss.
Realizing this, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and turned around, roaring angrily, "Let's go!"
A group of cavalry pawns followed Ma Chao, turned around and swooped down.
Seeing Ma Chao's retreat, Man Chong, who was quite worried at first, suddenly laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "This Ma Chao is quite sensible, if it takes a while longer, his Xiliang cavalry army will have to confess here."
Man Chong smiled happily, but Cao Ang didn't have much joy on his face. Ma Chao suffered from him. Once he rushed to the battlefield, he would definitely vent his anger on the fighting Cao soldiers.
Needless to say, how terrifying the fighting power of a vigorous cavalry army is.
In this way, the pressure on generals such as Yu Jin and Le Jin below will increase several times.
Generals, you must persevere!
Cao Ang prayed silently in his heart.
At this time, Huang Zhong, who was ordered to block Qu Yi, was about to arrive at the location reported by the scouts.
The horseshoes came and went, and the sentry lying on the ground could hear them very clearly.
"General, there are a large number of cavalry soldiers approaching us." The sentry nervously ran back to where the army was and reported the matter.
The man in the general's armor turned around, with his hands folded behind his waist, his slanted eyebrows, his cold eyes, and a two-inch scar on the right eye of his cheek. , there is a ruthless energy that makes people dread and stay away.
This person is none other than Yuan Shao's general and the leader of this trip, Qu Yi!
"All officers and men listen to the command and act according to the general's deployment." Qu Yi scanned the surroundings, his voice was not loud, but it made everyone hold their breath and listen carefully, for fear of missing half a word.
"Here!" After listening to Qu Yi's order, the Hebei soldiers responded loudly.
Not long after, the cavalry led by Huang Zhong arrived.
The clatter of horseshoes galloped on the wide road, and the long weeds on both sides kept shrinking in the eyes, and they quickly retreated backwards.
The pawns on horseback were flying like lightning, Huang Zhong rode in front, thinking about how to kill one party later, he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment.Because according to the position described by the scouts, the enemy is still a little far ahead, and there is a distance.
TATATA~TATATA~~~
The sound of horseshoes approached, and Qu Yi, who crouched in the middle of the road, raised the shield above his head, jumped up, shouted loudly, and gave a short and quick command: "Do it!"
All of a sudden, the road ahead seemed to explode, and amidst the rising mud and dust, countless feathered arrows shot out from the front.
The war horse under his crotch was frightened and abruptly stopped galloping.
The distance of more than ten steps was so close that it couldn't be any closer, and the pawns on horseback almost became living targets at this moment.
When the crossbow arrows came, the unsuspecting cavalry had no time to react, and countless people fell off their horses.
At the same time, the Hebei soldiers who were prostrate in the tall grass on both sides of the road also showed their figures. In their hands, they also held crossbows, each with a hand.
