Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 92 120. Cao Xing Was Beheaded

It seems that God is helping Wang Hao on the Huarong battlefield. Wenpin met Wei Yan and was able to defend the small town of Huarong. It is different here in Baoyang. Cao Xing's combat strength is only hovering between first- and second-rate generals.

In the face of Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Dun's attack, the [-] soldiers in Baoyang divided into two groups, and defended against Xiahou Dun all the way.

Cao Xing's troops went down the river and came to Huarong to rescue Wenpin. Cao Xing did not send troops before, and almost caused Wenpin to be besieged and killed by Cao Hong. Now, Xia Houchun intercepted his troops.

Xia Houchun: "With me by your side, you don't want to go any further!"

Cao Xing: "Today I will rush over even if I die, let the horse come here!"

Xia Houchun: "It depends on whether you have the ability, hmph..."

Cao Xing: "Array attack, heavy cavalry is invincible!"

Xia Houchun: "They say that Jingzhou's cavalry is unstoppable. Let's see how I defeat your cavalry today..."

Cao Xing was stationed at Baoyang to defend Cao's army from going south. Most of the soldiers were cavalry, but there were still relatively few heavy cavalry. Wang Hao's 30 army had less than 20 real cavalry, less than [-] heavy cavalry, and most of them were light cavalry.

Nearly a quarter of the heavy cavalry is already very impressive. After all, the requirements for heavy cavalry are too high. Not only must they be able to carry thirty catties of fish scale armor, but they must also be good at horse fighting to become a heavy cavalry.

Wang Hao is not short of horses. Even if all the soldiers are equipped with horses, it will not be a problem. The problem is that the battlefield is not invincible with cavalry alone. Many battles cannot be fought without infantry. Before, Ma Yunlu relied on swords to attack Lingcao's camp. The shield-bearer blocks the arrows from the crossbowman.

[-] heavy cavalry are not many, the generals only have a few thousand each, and the most are only [-] to [-]. Besides, heavy cavalry is not suitable for long-distance raids, so Cao Xing only brought two thousand heavy cavalry this time. Thousands of Qingqi and two thousand infantry escorted the grain and grass.

Xia Houchun brought 1 tiger and leopard cavalry, a total of [-] soldiers and horses in two parts. Tiger and leopard cavalry are also famous heavy cavalry. This time Cao Xing met a strong enemy.

In the first attack, both sides lost hundreds of heavy cavalry. The charge of the heavy cavalry was like the scene of a car accident. The fallen cavalry from both sides were trampled to death by chaotic horses.

The light cavalry is more mobile, and Cao Xing's horses are slightly better than Xiahou Chun's. Large-scale serial crossbows are used for city defenses, or loaded on warships. Yuan Rong's crossbows were developed in limited quantities shortly after they were developed, and they were all used in the Jiangdong battlefield. Cao Xing did not have a relatively lethal weapon in his hand.

Relying on Qingqi can still gain the upper hand in Xia Houchun's hands. In the situation of cavalry fighting against cavalry, if Cao Xing wants to leave, Xia Houchun can't keep him, but Cao Xing sticks to the food and refuses to give up. He went east to rescue Wenpin Qubu, how can we rescue him without food?

Xia Houchun: "It is impossible for you to go eastward today."

Wang Lang: "General, be careful..."

Cao Xing: "Hurry up and lead Qu Bu away. I'll stop you here."

Wang Lian: "This subordinate is with you."

Xia Houchun: "Here comes another one who is not afraid of death, let me die."

Cao Xing: "Xia Houchun..."

Xia Houchun: "The guy who got in the way is dead, and it will fall to you, Cao Xing."

Cao Xing: "Did the second class ever fear death?"

Heavy cavalry: "Follow the general to the death!"

Heavy cavalry: "Follow the general to the death!"

Unless the heavy cavalry returned to Wouyang, it would be difficult for the heavy cavalry to reach Huarong under Xia Houchun's pursuit. In this case, the heavy cavalry could only be sacrificed.

Wang Lian, as the general of Qubu, saw that Cao Xing was defeated and rode his horse back to the battlefield. He was beheaded by Xia Houchun in less than three rounds, and Cao Xing was ready to sacrifice.

Relying on less than 1 heavy cavalry, trying to stop Xia Houchun's [-] army is tantamount to saying that dreams are hard to reach. Cao Xing only hopes to hold Xia Houchun back and let Wang Lang bring Qubu into Huarong. There are more than [-] soldiers in Li, and even if Wang Langqu's troops lose to Cao Hong, they can retreat to Huarong and wait for support.

"Kill, kill one is enough money, kill two to earn a pair!"

Cao Xing also had a crazy side. When he served under Lu Bu's command, he was the weakest general under Lu Bu's command. Lu Bu was hanged to death in the Battle of Baimen Tower, Zang Ba was brutally killed by Cao Hong, and Tai Shici, Zhang Liao and others desperately rescued him.

These Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Cao Xing all wanted to avenge Lv Bu. Now that Lv Bu's wife and daughter have returned safely, only Lv Bu has yet to avenge his revenge. Even if Cao Xing cannot kill Xia Houchun today, he will make Xia Houchun unable to go east. .

Naked. Naked massacre, Cao cavalry surrounded two thousand heavy cavalry, and every time they charged, hundreds of cavalry would fall off their horses. Seeing that Cao Xing wanted to die, Xia Houchun stopped chasing Wang Lang to encircle and suppress Cao Xing.

Although Xia Houchun's force is not inferior to Cao Xing's, but with more than 1000 cavalry charging, Xia Houchun will not rush to the front stupidly, not to mention whether he can kill Cao Xing. If he falls off the horse, he will die without knowing how to die. After charging, only three hundred heavy cavalry were left behind Cao Xing, and Xia Houchun appeared in front of the army at this time.

Cao Ren fought Zhang Liao head-on. If Zhang Liao could not win in the field, he would not be defeated. Zhang Liao would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Liao in a siege. It was not because Zhang Liao was so good at defending the city, but because the fortifications in Jingzhou were too strong. Big city.

Cao Xing was beheaded by Xia Houchun on the outskirts of Wouyang. After the news reached Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao went into a state of rage and became very crazy when he went to the battlefield. The wounded will also be beheaded.

Cao Ren saw that Zhang Liao was radical and crazy, and he didn't want to go head-to-head with Zhang Liao like this, so he had to retreat for [-] miles. The battle forced Cao Ren to draw a free card.

In history, Zhang Liao and Cao Ren were called the five good generals together, and they jointly resisted the five tiger generals of the Shu Han, which is enough to prove Zhang Liao's bravery and diligence. Cao Ren is very similar to a person, and that person is Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun is known as the ever-victorious general, and he has never lost a battle in his life. Cao Ren is no exception. He is the best general in the early Cao Wei period.

Even if it is a battle that must be defeated, Cao Ren, as the coach, can control the overall situation, and can retreat calmly instead of being defeated. Zhao Yun lived to die of old age in his 70s. Cao Ren is also one of the few people in the Cao Wei camp who can die well. In his later years, it can be seen that Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao were very good.

Zhang Liao not only forced Cao Ren's soldiers to retreat for [-] miles, but also allowed Cao Ren to be exempted from battle every time he went to battle.

Cao Ren retreated to Xiahouba but entered Jingzhou. Pang Ju was a second-rate general and Xiahouba was somewhat different. If nothing else, Pang Ju's ending might be the same as Cao Xing, because Cao's army was much stronger than Pang Ju, and Xiahou Ba's troops were biased. Generals are even rarer generals, and Pang Ju's military generals seem a bit overwhelmed!
