Chapter 1007 Internal and External Attacks
After all, Cao Jun launched a surprise attack, catching the Yuzhou Army off guard and gaining an advantage. The Yuzhou Army retreated steadily under Cao Jun's attack. Cao Ren and others have been repeatedly defeated by the enemy in the past few days, but now they have defeated the Yuzhou Army, which can't help but boost their morale.
"Kill, kill, kill, we must catch Liu Bei!"
But at this time, Liu Bei's three brothers had already begun to organize soldiers to resist Cao's army, and Zhao Yun also heard the news and led his cavalry to arrive.
"Assault the enemy and buy time for the Yuzhou Army to assemble!"
When Zhao Yun saw that the Yuzhou army was in an unfavorable situation, he issued the order without hesitation and led his cavalry to attack Cao's army.
Tap tap tap!
"The cavalry is the enemy's cavalry!"
Most of Cao's troops were infantry. When they saw the enemy's cavalry galloping towards them, they couldn't help but stop and hesitate a little. The tall horses rushed towards them in one go. Even the bravest warriors found it difficult to meet them.
"Line up to fight!" Cao Ren shouted.
After all, Cao's army was well-trained. When he saw the enemy cavalry attacking, he was panicked for a while, and then he immediately reacted and formed a square formation under Cao Ren's organization to prepare to resist the enemy cavalry.
Zhao Yun's eyes turned cold, and he took the lead in riding out: "Zhao Zilong from Changshan is here, Cao Ren will die!"
"Stop him!"
Seeing Zhao Yun coming to kill him single-handedly, everyone in Cao Jun was naturally angry. How could you be so bold? They all raised their spears, and more than a dozen spears formed one side to stab Zhao Yun.
when!
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, he thrust the gentian spear forward in his hand, inserted it into the spear, swept left and right, and opened a gap in Cao's army. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and controlled the little white horse to rush through the gap. Got in.
Zhao Yun shouted loudly and waved the spear in his hand left and right. Countless cold stars were stabbed out by the spear. Several Cao soldiers around him were hit in their throats, hearts and other vital parts, and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Fight in!"
When the cavalry behind Zhao Yun saw the general personally breaking into the enemy's army to open the passage, their morale was greatly boosted. They rushed into Cao's army with shouts and spread out their spears and sabers, killing and wounding many Cao soldiers.
"Good job Zilong, gather the troops quickly, second brother, third brother, hurry up!" Liu Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Zhao Yun had blocked Cao Jun's attack, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to hurriedly reorganize their troops to prepare for Cao Jun's attack. Counterattack.
"I must capture this Zhao Yun. The whole army will be arrayed and not allowed to fight!"
Cao Ren was furious when he saw that the offensive was blocked by Zhao Yun, but he did not let his emotions affect his battle. He did not order Cao's army to fight, but ordered the entire army to stand firm and block the cavalry's advance.
Hefei City Head.
"General Yuan Rang, look, it's reinforcements!" Zhu Ling said excitedly.
"Haha, they are Zixiao's reinforcements, great!"
Xiahou Dun also became excited. Although he didn't know why Cao Ren suddenly appeared in Hefei from Jiangxia, it was certainly a good thing that reinforcements suddenly appeared in the current predicament.
"General Yuan Rang, the enemy troops are currently reorganizing and seem to be preparing to counterattack General Zi Xiao. How about we gather our troops and go out of the city to respond." Zhu Ling suggested.
"Well, we must come out of the city to coordinate the response. Although our army does not have many troops, as long as we send out troops, we can form a coordinated response from the inside and the outside." Xiahou Dun ordered: "Zhu Ling, you immediately gather three thousand elite troops, open the west gate, attack Liu Bei's army, and coordinate the response. filial piety!"
"Here!"
Zhu Ling was immediately ordered to select 3,000 elite soldiers in Hefei City. They were said to be elite soldiers, but in fact some of them were slightly injured in the battle to defend the city. The situation in Hefei City was really a bit bad.
"Open the city gate!"
The two west gates slowly opened, and Xiahou Dun personally led 3,000 Cao Cao's troops to fight out of the city, pointing their troops directly at Liu Bei's army.
"Kill!"
"Father, Uncle Yuan Rang came out of the city." Cao Tai said excitedly.
"Okay, if we cooperate inside and outside, we will win this battle. The whole army will attack!" Cao Ren laughed.
"kill!"
Seeing Xiahou Dun leading his army to fight out, Cao Ren immediately ordered the entire army to counterattack.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Ren's army and Xiahou Dun's army who launched an attack at the same time, and couldn't help but frown, and thought to himself: "Cao's army attacked from both sides, and cooperated with the outside. Our army had already suffered heavy losses due to the surprise attack by Cao Ren's army. If we fight head-on with the enemy, then what would happen?" But it’s not good.”
However, thinking about Liu Ye's previous request to attack Hefei City quickly, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"That's all, let's retreat first and wait until later."
Liu Bei finally made up his mind: "Second brother, third brother, there is nothing we can do today. If we continue to fight, we will only lose our troops. Please retreat."
"Inform Zilong to retreat, quickly."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei frowned, but they were also experienced veterans and understood that it was indeed difficult to defeat Cao Jun at the moment.
"General Zhao, General Zuo, please withdraw your troops!"
"okay, I get it."
Zhao Yun raised his hand and stabbed a Cao soldier who was blocking the road to death, shouting: "The whole army retreats, quickly!"
This is the advantage of cavalry. It has strong mobility. Even if it is not an opponent of infantry, it is easier to retreat.
"Archers shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The archers in Cao Ren's formation immediately fired a shower of arrows. Zhao Yun's men were all light cavalry. Naturally, they lost more than a hundred cavalry under the shower of arrows. Zhao Yun was greatly distressed and ordered the cavalry to speed up and break out of the encirclement.
"Chase!"
Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were naturally overjoyed when they saw the enemy army fleeing, and ordered Cao Jun to pursue them. Tens of thousands of Cao's troops shouted loudly and chased after Liu Bei's army. However, Zhao Yun led the light cavalry to detour to the flank of Cao's army from time to time, and attacked part of Cao's army, which made Cao Ren become cautious.
"The whole army stops! The swordsmen and shield bearers are in front, and the archers are behind. If you see the enemy cavalry, shoot immediately!"
Cao Ren gave an order, and tens of thousands of Cao's troops immediately formed a formation. The sword and shield hands held animal-faced shields in front of them, and they were ready for battle. The archers opened their strong bows and crossbows. As soon as they saw Zhao Yun's cavalry rushing over, they would loosen their bow strings. , releasing a rain of arrows.
Zhao Yun saw that there was no profit to be made, so he ordered: "The whole army retreats! Hurry!"
Thousands of cavalry immediately fled north, and soon only the horses' butts were visible. However, Zhao Yun led the cavalry and successfully bought time for Liu Bei's army to retreat, but Cao's army was unable to catch up.
"Hmph, if it weren't for this damn cavalry, Liu Bei's head would have to be taken off today!" Cao Ren snorted.
"Father, Uncle Yuan Rang is here!" Cao Tai shouted.
"Haha, Zixiao!" Xiahou Dun galloped over, laughing loudly.
"Yuan Rang!"
Cao Ren jumped off the horse and hugged Xiahou Dun, and the two of them laughed.
"Zixiao, why did you lead your army to Hefei City?" Xiahou Dun asked confused.
"It's hard to put into words."
