Three Kingdoms Eschatology

"Cao Chun obeys orders!"

"The end is here!"...

Finally, Sima Yi said: "The rest of the generals will stick to their camps, be on high alert, and keep attacking at any time! If the generals have nothing to discuss, they will retreat now and perform their duties!"

Everyone said "No!" and retreated from the camp one after another.Xiahou Dun left the tent of the Chinese army and was about to return to his camp when he was dragged by Cao Xiu.Cao Xiu said in his mouth: "Brother Yuan Rang stay!"

Xiahou Dun asked in surprise, "What's the matter, Brother Wen Lie?"

Cao Xiu lowered his voice and said, "Shicai, I think that boy Deng Ai is right. The section from Wocangang to Baimadu must be a sore foot for Liang Jun's weak defense. Think about it, Liang Jun only has [-] soldiers and horses. The distance between Hong Kong and Baimadu is about [-] miles wide and [-] miles long, how many rangers can Liang Jun send to patrol and guard this area. If we can burn the ferry and pontoon bridge where Liang Jun transported food, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?”

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun panicked and said, "This... there is no general's military order, so it's a violation of the military order to attack without authorization?"

Cao Xiu said: "That's why someone came to you. Think about it, what are the responsibilities assigned to you and your department?"

"Cruising around, guerrilla attacking the enemy's baggage, scratching and looting the small strongholds of the enemy hanging outside, etc."

Cao Xiu slapped his thigh and said, "This is the end."

"But Baimadu is Liangjun's ferry, where food and grass are transshipped, not a small stronghold."

Cao Xiu frowned and said: "You are really an honest man. You found a small Liang army food transport team and chased them. As a result, you chased them to Baimadu without knowing it, and wiped out the enemy defenders at Baimadu in one fell swoop. Isn't it okay? ?”

Xiahou Dun was still hesitating: "But can these few thousand tiger and leopard riders really capture Baimadu?"

Cao Xiu laughed and said, "Isn't there still someone here? Someone was ordered to cross the Yellow River south to scratch the rear of the Liang army. He happened to meet Rubu who was chasing the Liang army's luggage, and then cooperated with the friendly army to pursue the Liang army. As a result, we captured Baimadu in one fell swoop."

With Cao Xiu's persuasion and encouragement, Xiahou Dun finally agreed to Cao Xiu's plan.

……

On the north bank of the Yellow River, on a five-foot-wide dirt road leading to Wocangang, more than a hundred baggage carts are rumbling along.Escorting the food and supplies were thousands of Liang army supply soldiers, in addition to a group of more than a hundred heavy cavalry guarding the two columns.Horseshoes filled the air, and yellow dust was billowing from the wheels.

Three consecutive horns sounded suddenly in the distance, and General Liang Jun was startled and reined in his horse.Judging from the rhythm of the horn sound, it was obviously not Liang Jun's signal.Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of thousands of horses galloping like thunder in summer came from the sky.

General Liang Jun didn't seem to panic. Faced with Wei Jun's surprise attack on the luggage, Liang Jun had already planned.The general shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't panic, do as usual!"

Several sounding arrows with smoke trails soared into the sky, and then the baggage soldiers abandoned their baggage and retreated quickly.More than a hundred tiger and leopard riders followed closely behind them.Not long after they retreated, thousands of tiger and leopard riders appeared behind them...

Chapter 686

The heavy soldiers who had discarded their vehicles and supplies ran panting on the wasteland, and more than a hundred heavy cavalry deliberately slowed down their horses to protect their sides.The leading general turned his head on the saddle to take a look, and then cursed in surprise and anger: "Damn it, Wei Bing still caught up."

According to common sense, after the Wei army who robbed the grain drove away the heavy soldiers, it should loot or burn the grain instead of abandoning the grain and grass and chasing the fleeing soldiers.Seeing that Wei Jun was getting closer, the general Liang Jun shouted: "We can't run anymore, otherwise we will be overtaken by the enemy cavalry in a few minutes. We have to find a place to defend and wait for rescue .Fortunately, we have released the signal arrows, presumably the reinforcements will arrive in time."

The general glanced left and right, and found an earthen platform with a radius of dozens of squares and a height of about five feet nearby.On closer inspection, there seems to be an archway tombstone on the earthen platform.He knew that this was the mausoleum of a wealthy family, and this was the only location nearby where the terrain was conducive to defending against enemy cavalry.The chasing soldiers approached from behind, and the general couldn't control that much anymore. He pointed to the earthen platform with his hand: "My brothers, go to the grave to defend. The tiger and leopard cavalry spread out to the outside, waiting for an opportunity when the enemy attacks, Attack in the enemy's rear."

After the heavy cavalry riders made their promises in unison, they rode their horses and ran away.The heavy soldiers and infantry flew onto the platform, and the soldiers hurriedly dug trenches with the portable picks and shovels they carried with them.When the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army appeared from the horizon and chased them near the mound, they dug a shallow trench two feet wide and one foot deep.Naturally, this shallow trench has no effect on covering the soldiers, but it has a certain effect on preventing the horses rushing up the slope.

When some soldiers used shields and spears to form a line of defense behind the trench, thousands of Wei army tiger and leopard cavalry rushed to the earth platform like a dark cloud cover.The general of the heavy soldiers turned pale and despaired.

The two generals surrounded by the Wei army were Cao Xiu and Xiahou Dun.Cao Xiu said to Xiahou Dun: "Brother, anyway, we have burned Liang Jun's food and grass. Now we are doing business, and Liang Jun's auxiliary soldiers can dispatch some young men to take care of it. Doesn't Liang Jun still have a heavy cavalry to run away? By then Sima Yi asked. We said that we chased the heavy cavalry all the way to Baimadu, and then seized Baimadu."

Cao Xiu obviously didn't know enough about the Liang army, so he regarded the Liang army's heavy soldiers who were escorting the food and grass as auxiliary soldiers.Xiahou Dun nodded, and then said to the commanding soldiers beside him: "A certain military order, send [-] riders to destroy the Liang army on that grave. The rest will continue to march towards Baimadu!"

In an instant, thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry continued to gallop southward.The remaining [-] tiger and leopard riders rushed up the earth slope of the earth platform amidst the howling of the horses, but the slope of the earth slope caused their horses to drop suddenly.When rushing to the front of the trench, the speed is about the same as that of people jogging on foot.

A tiger and leopard cavalry straightened out their spears and stabbed fiercely at a heavy soldier of the Liang Army.In an instant, the ring armor on the chest of the heavy soldier was pierced.The spear just raised in the hands of the heavy soldiers fell to the ground feebly.The tiger and leopard rode their horses and continued to charge forward, but the horse's front hooves stepped into the shallow trench. The whole horse fell forward, and the rider fell off the horse unexpectedly, and the helmet was thrown far away.Before he could recover, a spear pierced through his head with a puff.

Another tiger and leopard rode a horse and rushed to the shallow ditch. The horse paused and just jumped violently.At the same time as the horse was jumping, the rider's long spear shot out suddenly, and the blade of the spear pierced the shield of a heavy soldier with a puff, but failed to penetrate completely.It's just that the tip of the spear pierced a small hole in the shield.But the heavy soldiers holding shields were knocked to the ground by the leaping force of the horses.The tiger and leopard rider also screamed and fell off the horse.The body of the fallen heavy soldier was also trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the horses that jumped over the ditch.

On the earthen platform, after a moment of fierce fighting between the two sides, the heavy soldiers of the Liang army suffered heavy casualties and barely held the line of defense.When they were about to be broken through by the tiger and leopard cavalry, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from behind the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the hundred or so Liang army heavy cavalry who ran away earlier came back.

The situation changed suddenly.The [-] tiger and leopard cavalry had already lost a lot, and there were only [-] cavalry left. They were caught off guard and were massacred by the heavy cavalry of Liang Jun who suddenly appeared behind them.Under the earth platform, iron cavalry galloped, spears stabbed swiftly, horses whined and neighed, and people shouted.In the blink of an eye, the tiger and leopard riders were beheaded and killed more than [-] riders. Their morale suddenly collapsed, and they fled in all directions on horseback.

Liang Jun on the earthen platform suddenly erupted into cheers of joy as if he was alive after a catastrophe.At this moment, another rumbling sound came from afar.The leading general turned pale with shock, but then his expression relaxed, because a large number of Liang Jun's longbow chariots and light cavalry flying feathers appeared in his sight.

It turned out that in order to prevent the Wei army from raiding the grain road in the rear, it was also to protect the safety of the ferry and pontoon bridge.Feng Yu deployed three mobile troops between Wocangang and Baimadu.Each troop consists of a battalion of longbow chariots and a battalion of light cavalry flying feathers.There are also minka secret sentries and rangers all over the place. When the heavy soldiers escorting food and grass are attacked, they immediately release a signal of sounding arrows.After receiving the signal, the surrounding minka and dark sentries or rangers will continue to shoot signal arrows into the sky.In the end, the general's situation was passed on to the wandering Liang Jun's chariot and cavalry troops as soon as possible.

Liang Jun's cavalry troops followed the sound, and then the Liang Jun soldiers at various checkpoints or rangers pointed the direction, and they could find the attack location relatively accurately.So it didn't take long for them to catch up here.

Dian Qing was the one who led the chariot troop. In fact, all three chariot troop were commanded by him.

Dian Qing can be said to be known to everyone in Liang Jun.When they were approaching, the generals of the baggage soldiers stepped forward and waited.The general looked up and saw that it was Dianqing who quickly clasped his fists and said: "General Dianqing, the main force of the Wei army attacking me, several thousand, rushed to the south, and a small force besieged us, but was repelled by our army."

Time was running out, Dian Qing didn't have time to ask more details, just nodded in response, and immediately led the cavalry troops to chase south.His deputy general Ce immediately said: "General, the opponent is thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry. Should we also summon the other two troops and pursue them?"

Dian Qing immediately replied: "It's too late, they obviously intend to sneak attack Baimadu. However, you can send a few soldiers to gather the other two chariots."

"promise!"

……

Cao Xiu and Xiahou Dun led thousands of tiger and leopard riders and galloped all the way.When the sun had just set to the west, they had already seen the outline of the fortress built by Liang Jun on Baimadu.I also saw the Taotao River on the Yellow River and nine pontoon bridges.

Chapter 687 Burning Bridge

Xiahou Dun looked at the Liang Army camp located on the ferry, which seemed to be a military achievement at his fingertips. He shouted loudly: "Send a certain military order, the whole army will charge, and the first to enter the Liang Army camp will be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry around him declared their promise loudly, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry further outside made their promise in unison, and such a loud sound spread throughout the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry team of thousands of people like a relay.The first two hundred or so tiger and leopard riders thumped their buttocks and suddenly increased their speed.

In their sight, Liang Jun's camp was only surrounded by a low fence no more than four feet high, and their mounts could easily jump over it.When they approached the camp for less than fifty battles, hundreds of arrows flew from behind the fence. These were not ordinary arrows, but heavy arrows from the archers of Army Commander Liang.The wall of Liang Junying's village was deliberately built so low to facilitate the throwing of longbowmen.

The tiger and leopard riders who rushed to the front were shot in the head and fell off their horses.Suo Xin's charging tiger and leopard cavalry pulled farther apart, and Liang Jun shot instead of sniping.After this wave of shooting, only more than [-] tiger and leopard riders were shot off their horses.The rest of the tiger and leopard riders even cracked their whips, and after shooting more than a hundred arrows in the camp, they finally rushed to the fence.

The tiger and leopard rider in the front reined the horse deftly, and the horse immediately raised its hooves and jumped up, and sure enough, it easily crossed the fence in one fell swoop.But when he landed, he found that there was another refusal horse two battles behind the fence.After rejecting the horse, there is an army formation composed of neat Liang Jun guns and shields.He didn't even have time to stop the horse, there was a muffled sound from the canopy, the war horse bumped into the Juma, and before it even neighed, it was embedded in the sharp wood of the Juma, and the Wei soldiers on the saddle also flew out and landed on the ground. After entering the rear of Liang Jun's army, Qiqiao bleeds to death.

Amidst people yelling and horses shouting, the tiger and leopard riders jumping over the fence ran into the rejecting horse one after another.Some reacted quickly and stopped their horses by chance, but were shot and killed by spears thrown by Liang Jun after rejecting the horse.In a few minutes, the corpses of tigers and leopard riders and horses were piled up all over the ground.Although Cao Xiu and Xiahou Dun couldn't see the tragic image inside the fence, they could only hear something bad from the howling and neighing of horses and the shouting of people.

Cao Xiu hurriedly said to Xiahou Dun: "It seems that although the Liang army at Baimadu is small, their camp is very strong. Why don't we attack with fire and directly burn down their camp."

Xiahou Dun replied: "Since the fire is attacking, it is better to burn down the nine pontoon bridges first, and then burn down their camps and ferries!"

Cao Xiu nodded and said to the commanding soldiers: "Give me the military order, immediately divide the troops into ten groups, one group will attack the camp, and the other nine groups will burn the floating bridge of the Liang army."

It took a while before his military order was transmitted to all ministries and the deployment of troops and horses was completed.Immediately, strands of war cavalry galloped out of the Wei army's formation, with hundreds of cavalry each, rushing to the pontoon bridges on both sides of the camp, and the last one rushed to the Liang army's camp again.

When the last tiger and leopard cavalry rushed near the target, they took out a huge skin bag and threw the skin bag at the low fence wall of the camp.Even today, Wei Jun has not mastered the method of naphtha allocation.So the leather bag contained kerosene for daily lighting.Thick kerosene was splashed on the fence, and the tigers and leopards behind rushed up and threw torches that included catkins, hay and other fire starters.

Against Liang Jun's heavy arrows and casualties, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took turns throwing these kindling objects, and finally part of the fence was set on fire, but compared to the effect of naphtha, the fire spread very slowly.At this moment, the side door of Liang Jun's camp suddenly opened, and nearly a hundred longbow chariots galloped out.

They shot close range tiger and leopard riders outside the camp, and killed nearly a hundred riders.The rest of the tiger and leopard riders hurriedly raised their guns and urged their horses to charge towards them, but the next round of rapid fire knocked down nearly a hundred of them.

This group of tiger and leopard cavalry only had hundreds of cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, [-]% of the casualties occurred.Such a large proportion of casualties caused their morale to collapse instantly.The riders turned their horses around one after another, and fled backwards.The nearly one hundred longbow chariots did not pursue them, but drove towards the nearest pontoon bridge.

At the bridgehead of this pontoon bridge, the tiger and leopard cavalry first drove the hundreds of beam soldiers stationed at the bridgehead to the opposite bank, and then used the same method to throw the kerosene, catkins and hay balls they carried with them on the bridge surface.Piles of fires were ignited on the bridge immediately, but the speed of the fire spreading on the bridge was quite slow.

The last few dozen of the tiger and leopard riders rode their horses to the vicinity of the bridge, and when they were about to throw the firelight in their hands, there was the sound of arrows piercing through the air.Many people fell off their horses in the rain of blood before throwing the things in their hands. Dozens of riders were shot off their horses almost at the same time.

At this time, the rest of the tiger and leopard riders were all at a distance of more than twenty battles from the bridge, and seeing this situation, they all rode their horses and rushed towards the longbow chariot.Naturally, the longbow chariot would not sit still and run away in the opposite direction, and continued to shoot deadly heavy arrows at the tiger and leopard cavalry while fleeing.The hundred and ten Liang army infantry who had retreated to the other side of the Yellow River took the opportunity to kill and came back again. Those who carried the water and those who put out the fire put out the fire on the bridge within half a quarter of an hour.

The longbow chariots were not just trying to escape the pursuit of the tiger and leopard riders, they also deliberately passed by the bridgeheads of the pontoon bridges on the left side of the camp, and continuously and accurately shot the tigers and leopards who were setting fire to the bridge ride.Xiahou Dun, who was commanding and watching the battle nearby, said angrily: "Gather your forces and kill this small group of enemy chariots first."

Amidst the shouts of the tiger and leopard riders and the orders of the generals.The tigers and leopards originally distributed at the bridgeheads of several pontoon bridges circled the longbow chariot from different directions.The longbow chariots turned around and fled northward at a medium speed in a calm manner.Just when more than 2000 tigers and leopards were chasing the longbow chariot.The Liang Army infantry who had fled to the opposite bank on these pontoon bridges also took the opportunity to come back and extinguish the spreading fire.

Cao Xiu, who was commanding on the right side of the camp, saw that something was wrong, and flew to Xiahou Dun's side to remind him: "Brother, it's important for us to burn bridges, camps and ferries. We just need to send some cavalry to keep an eye on these chariots and keep them from approaching." The rest of the people still need to concentrate their forces to do business!"

Only then did Xiahou Dun come to his senses, and hastily asked the soldiers to issue another order to call back some tiger and leopard riders to continue burning the pontoon bridge that had not yet been burned.Only more than a thousand war cavalry were left cruising outside the hundreds of battles to prevent the hundred and ten longbow chariots from going back and forth.

But when these tiger and leopard riders returned, they discovered a difficult problem.All the kindling and fire oil they brought with them have been used up.Xiahou Dun said sullenly: "A certain military order has been passed, and half of the soldiers dismounted to cut down dry grass and dry trees and burn the bridges. Today, a certain must completely burn down these pontoon bridges!"

Chapter 688

Following Xiahou Dun's order, half of the tiger and leopard riders jumped off their horses, pulled out their sabers, and felled dead wood and hay on the spot.The other half of the tigers and leopards rode their horses and galloped up the pontoon bridge under Xiahou Dun's personal leadership, chasing the Liang army infantry on the pontoon bridge.

These Liang Jun infantry had already fled to the south bank again.But this time Xiahoudun seemed to have made up his mind to kill them all, and led more than a thousand tiger and leopard riders across the floating bridge, chasing after him.Fortunately, Liang Jun set up a small camp on the south bank, and these fleeing Liang Jun got into the camp to hide.But the one who ran slowly was picked and killed by the lance of the tiger and leopard.

Xiahou Dun walked around several small camps a few times, but found no obvious flaws. He was afraid that the strong attack would suffer the same losses as when the North Bank attacked the ferry, so he had to give up.He took all his cavalry to stand guard at each bridgehead to prevent Liang Jun from rushing out of the camp again and obstructing the burning of the bridge.

On the north bank, the tiger and leopard knights who were sweating profusely finally piled up a large amount of dry grass and dead wood on several bridge decks.Cao Xiu had burned down several pontoon bridges, and brought his headquarters to support Xiahou Dun.

Seeing that they were about to "consummate their merits and virtues", the tiger and leopard riders patrolling in the distance to guard against Liang Jun's longbow chariot suddenly made a noise.Cao Xiu was startled, and set up a pergola to look into the distance.I saw a slender black shadow across the sky.Then, amidst the howling and neighing of the horses, most of the tiger and leopard cavalry team fell down together, and then there was the sound of people's painful wailing and screaming.

Cao Xiu's heart trembled suddenly.Wei Jun's vigilant tiger and leopard cavalry had nearly a thousand cavalry, and most of them could be shot and killed in an instant, indicating that the opponent had at least five or six hundred long archers.Sure enough, hundreds of longbow chariots immediately appeared in his sight.There are hundreds of Liang Jun Qingqi beside them.This chariot convoy was made up of the chariots led by Dian Qing and the chariots in the Dukou camp.

Cao Xiu immediately shouted: "Liang Jun's chariots are attacking! The whole army is assembled!" Not only him, but all the tiger and leopard riders who saw these Liang Jun's chariots shouted.

Those tiger and leopard knights who were still cutting grass and firewood ran to their respective mounts long ago.Xiahou Dun, who was still on the south bank of the Yellow River, also hurriedly withdrew towards Hebei with the tigers and leopards stationed on the south bank.Because a lot of firewood has been piled up on the floating bridge.The only thing left for the tigers and leopards on the south bank to ride was a narrow passage along the edge of the pontoon bridge, and they could only file through it.In the panic and crowding, many tiger and leopard riders stumbled and fell into the Taotao Yellow River.

Xiahou Dun managed to squeeze through the pontoon bridge, and seeing that Cao Xiu had rushed towards him with his tiger and leopard cavalry, he loudly ordered his subordinates to set fire to the bridge.Some tiger and leopard riders ignited the few remaining torches and threw them to the firewood pile on the pontoon bridge. The fire gradually rose in the billowing smoke.

The more than [-] tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu hadn't rushed far before Liang Jun's heavy arrows rushed towards him.While the horse neighed and people screamed, another two hundred tigers and leopards fell off the horse.Cao Xiu naturally knew how powerful the opponent's longbow chariot was.He knew very well that even if the opponent didn't move, he forced himself to rush to the opponent, and this time was enough for the opponent to shoot two or three rounds of arrows.According to this hit rate.Two or three rounds of arrows are enough to kill seven or eight hundred riders, not to mention the closer the distance between the two sides, the higher the opponent's hit rate.

Therefore, Cao Xiu's charge was only a feint, and he quickly deflected his horse's head and fled northeast.Of course, Xiahoudun behind was unable to deal with these Liang army chariots.He also shouted loudly: "Retreat! Quickly retreat. The main force of Liang Jun's chariots and cavalry is coming!" After saying that, he led nearly [-] cavalry under his command to flee to the northwest.

At this time, those Liang army infantry who had retreated to the south bank camp rushed back again holding weapons and buckets, and extinguished the burning fire at an extremely fast speed.Fortunately, these dead trees and hay are very easy to extinguish with water.Everyone scooped up water from the river and poured it onto the fire. Within a quarter of an hour, there was only a little smoke left on the bridge.

Xiahou Dun, who was running wildly, could hear the sound of arrows piercing the air, and the screams of tiger and leopard riders falling from their horses from time to time could be heard.Turning his head, he saw that almost all of Dian Qing's hundreds of longbow chariots were chasing after his troops.This made him panic and angry. What made him angry was that Cao Xiu ran away alone. If Cao Xiu could cooperate with him, he might be able to repel the longbow chariot with only five or six hundred rides back with the superiority in strength.

Xiahou Dun hesitated whether to let his tiger and leopard cavalry scatter to avoid the pursuit of Liang Jun's longbow chariot.Doing so can indeed effectively reduce the damage of the longbow chariot, but it will be difficult for the troops to regroup after they disperse, which is actually equivalent to breaking up.

Amidst the continuous screams of soldiers shooting arrows and falling horses, the red tassel on Xiahou Dun's helmet was also shot down by a heavy arrow, which almost pierced his head.This made him finally make up his mind and said: "Send a certain military order, and all the soldiers will disperse and return to the camp in Yecheng!"

Following Xiahoudun's military order, the tiger and leopard riders scattered, divided into countless groups, and fled away in a fan shape.Seeing this situation, Dian Qing gave an order: "Pass a certain military order, each tank team will fight separately, and chase the defeated enemy separately!"

The Longbow convoy split into five or six groups in an instant, chasing and killing the fleeing Tiger and Leopard Riders.

Cao Xiu was no better than Xiahou Dun, because although he was not chased by the longbow chariot, the battalion of Qingqi Feiyu sent by Dianqing stuck up like a dog's skin plaster.No matter how you shake it off, you can't shake it off.Although the arrows of Qingqi Feiyu were not as lethal as the heavy arrows of long bows, they still gave Cao Xiu a headache.From time to time, these light arrows shoot the buttocks and hind legs of the mounts of Shang tigers and leopards, causing the horses to run wildly in fright, thus knocking the riders off the horses.

Cao Xiu also tried to send some tiger and leopard cavalry to intercept these light cavalry, but this measure could reduce his own casualties.When this part of the tiger and leopard cavalry rushed towards Qingqi Feiyu, they would immediately dodge to the two wings, and then use their speed advantage to bypass this tiger and leopard cavalry, and continue to stick to Cao Xiu's main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Xiu was very annoyed by this over and over again.He came up with an idea in a hurry, and immediately said a few words to the three generals who were running side by side with him.These generals and schools shouted orders one after another, and two of them led the tigers and leopards out of the main team.One person still led hundreds of cavalry from the headquarters to turn around and attack Qingqi Feiyu from the two armies.

These Qingqi flying feathers did not confront the opponent head-on as usual, but dodged from the two wings, circled to the opponent's rear and continued to bite Cao Xiu's main force.Cao Xiu was overjoyed and said to the guards around him: "The fish has caught the net, let's release the arrow."

Suddenly, a loud arrow shot up into the sky, and the two tiger and leopard cavalry that had scattered left and right turned around and came back.Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard riders also suddenly stopped and turned around.The tiger and leopard cavalry behind also caught up one after another, and immediately formed an encirclement trend against this battalion of Liang Jun Qingqi.

Chapter 689

Liang Jun's Qingqi Feiyu saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly rode his horse and fled away.Although they have a speed advantage over Wei Jun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is surrounded from all sides, so they can only break through from the corner.In this way, Wei Jun can intercept them in a straight line and at close range.

After Qingqi Feiyu ran for more than a hundred battles, the battalion captain saw that he would be intercepted by the Wei army, so he had to find another direction to break through, but the four tiger and leopard riders also changed directions and intercepted them in the direction of their breakthrough.After repeating this two or three times, instead of breaking through, Liang Qimen made the opponent's encirclement circle tighter and tighter.Once Qingqi Feiyu, who had only five hundred riders, was surrounded by nearly three thousand tiger and leopard riders, the entire army would be wiped out, and there was no possibility of victory.

The captain of Liang Jun's battalion was pale at this time, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, take the bows and knives! We will fight the enemy cavalry to the death! No matter what method one person uses, each rider must kill an enemy rider!"

The rest of the Qingqi Feiyu also knew that they would die today, and all of them threw their bows on the ground in front of them with solemn expressions, then took out their sabers, raised them high in the air, and shouted in unison to kill those who were facing the front. Tigers and leopards rushed forward.The flying horseshoes trampled the bows discarded on the ground.

In Cao Xiu's eyes, the rushing Qingqi Feiyu was like an egg flying towards a rock.He smiled triumphantly and said, "Everyone listens to the order and charges with guns!"

The tiger and leopard riders around Cao Xiu immediately spread out in a line formation, and there were three rows, all with their spears upright, rushing towards the flying feathers of the light cavalry.Cao Xiu's war horse had just galloped up, when there was a shriek in his ears, and then he saw a tiger and leopard rider in front of him jumping straight forward and falling off the horse, with a three-foot-long oversized spear sticking out of the back of his head. arrows.He turned his head to look, and immediately found a large group of longbow chariots popping up in the distance, Mao estimated that there were about [-] chariots.

Cao Xiu was startled and thought to himself, didn't those longbow chariots go after Xiahou Dun?Why did he catch up with him again? It's impossible!He and Xiahou Dun fled in different directions.

There was no time for him to think too much, the cavalry beside Cao Xiu heard the screams of arrows falling from the horses of the tiger and leopard riders one after another.He immediately ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats!"

The tiger and leopard cavalry followed Cao Xiu like a torrent and fled.Liang Jun's longbow chariot was still chasing after him, shooting and killing more than once.It didn't take long for Cao Xiu to encounter the same problem as Xiahou Dun. He either "disbanded" his cavalry on the spot and let the tiger and leopard riders flee, so that he could be safe, or he was passively defeated by Liang Jun.In the end he made the same decision as Xiahou Dun, and the tiger and leopard riders began to flee in all directions.The longbow chariots chasing them were also the same as the team led by Dian Qing. The team was divided into several groups and pursued them relentlessly.

……

Dian Qing, who was riding in a certain chariot, opened his bow and shot arrows, and has personally killed more than [-] tiger and leopard riders in succession.He bent his bow again and aimed his arrow at a Wei general in a red cloak. If he was not mistaken, the target must have been Xiahou Dun. Dian Qing had already discovered that this person was wearing a blindfold, and one-eyed is the well-known label of Xiahou Dun.

The heavy arrow shot out, and hit the red cloak that was still shaking in the wind with a puff.General Wei let out a scream and fell off his horse. The rest of the tiger and leopard riders of the Wei army didn't dare to stop at all, and continued to whip and beat the horse, running wildly.

Dian Qing rode his horse and stopped in front of General Wei's body, his calm expression changed to one of surprise.That General Wei looked like Xiahou Dun, but the armor inside the cloak was that of an ordinary tiger and leopard rider.Dian Qing picked up the blindfold with the tip of his bow and took a look, and sure enough, the eyes were good, obviously this was a fake Xiahou Dun.

Dian Qing looked around again, and the Wei cavalry he was chasing had less than a hundred remaining, and they had all run away.Now that he has lost his will to fight, and has killed many Wei cavalry, he is no longer interested in chasing these remnants of the enemy, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops and counted the results of the battle.

Not long after Dianqing returned to Baimadu, Qingqi Feiyu and another troop of chariots also returned to Baimadu with the head of the tiger and leopard rider.The two groups joined forces, and after counting the results of the battle, it was found that nearly [-] tiger and leopard cavalry heads of the Wei army were beheaded in this battle. However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ended up in disintegration, and some Tiger and Leopard Cavalry might never return to Yecheng camp after leaving the team.Therefore, the number of tiger and leopard cavalry lost by the Wei army was actually much more than the figure of nearly two thousand.

However, Liang Jun also lost a lot.First of all, a lot of food and grass were burned by the Wei army, and many soldiers who escorted the food and grass were also killed and injured.More importantly, the Wei army burned down all four pontoon bridges on the Yellow River.The remaining five pontoons will also need to be repaired to be fully functional.

……

Sima Yi was inviting all the generals to a banquet in the tent of the Wei Army Company Camp between Yecheng and Wocangang.The faces of all the generals including Deng Ai were stiff and nervous, but Sima Yi looked very indifferent. It seemed that this time was not the eve of the decisive battle between the Liang and Wei armies, and it seemed that he was not on the front line, but a battle without a battle. In the Taishi Mansion in Yecheng during the Taiping period.

Sima Yi saw everyone's worries, and said with confidence, "You don't have to worry, Liang Jun won't make any moves in the short term. You just eat and drink at ease, and I'm afraid you won't have such a leisurely life in the future."

Only then did everyone drink freely from one cup to another.Sima Yi asked as if he had discovered something suddenly: "What is the future of Xiahou Dun and Cao Xiu today?" The soldiers beside him hurriedly replied: "Back to the general, they were ordered by the general to go to Henan to scratch the enemy's rear, and the other to harass Liang. The grain road behind the army's lying silkworm post. After the two generals led the troops out, they have not yet returned."

Sima Yi nodded and said: "It turns out that he hasn't come back yet..." Before he could finish his sentence, two burly men with shirtless waists and tied up all of a sudden broke in from outside the tent.Including Sima Yi, all the generals in the tent stopped eating and drinking in shock.It was none other than Xiahou Dun and Cao Xiu who entered the account.
