Chapter 771 A Flanking Attack
"kill!"
Peng Hu held a sword in his hand and personally supervised the army.
Prime Minister Cao didn't contact me, but contacted Fei Zhan first. This is not possible. Today, we must show our ability and let Prime Minister Cao see who is the real king of Shanyue!
Under Peng Hu's supervision, tens of thousands of Shanyue troops poured towards Jiangdong's army, like a flood, trying to submerge Jiangdong's army.
"Damn it!"
When Zhou Yu saw the Shanyue Army dispatching, he couldn't help but turn pale for a moment. What he was most worried about finally happened.
Compared with Cao's army, although Jiangdong's army is at a disadvantage, it is at least still capable of fighting. Previously, Zhou Yu had planned a plan to divert the disaster eastward, causing the Shanyue army to attack Cao's army fiercely.
Although the Shanyue Army was large in number, it was not strong in combat power, otherwise it would not have allowed He Qi to act like a single force. As long as we can take advantage of the Shanyue Army to attack Cao Jun and break through Cao Jun's formation before the Shanyue Army is dispatched, this battle can be won!
In fact, such situations are not uncommon in history. For example, Cao Cao burned Wuchao in the Battle of Guandu. After Yuan Shao learned about it, he sent reinforcements to reinforce Wuchao. The soldiers under his command reported to Cao Cao that the enemy army has come to kill them. Should they send troops to resist? Cao Cao said angrily, just charge forward and don't worry about what's behind.
As Cao Cao's army defeated Chunyu Qiong's army, the situation was decided, and Yuan's army had no choice but to escape or surrender. If Cao Cao had divided his forces to resist and failed to capture Wuchao quickly, Cao Cao might have been destroyed.
Unfortunately, as the Shanyue Army joined the battle group, Zhou Yu's plan finally came to nothing.
boom!
Tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers all over the mountains and plains rushed forward, and finally hit the flank of Jiangdong Army hard, overwhelming.
Whoosh whoosh!
The Shanyue soldiers were out of formation, like stragglers. They fired forward with small bows. The arrows made of stone or bone were not sharp, but were filled with poison. The Jiangdong soldiers who were hit by the arrows only felt that half of their bodies were numb and could not use their strength. , and the Shanyue soldiers who rushed forward were not polite at all. They rushed forward and slashed, and Jiangdong soldiers' bodies were immediately separated.
Jiangdong soldiers were fighting with Cao's army, and tens of thousands of Shanyue troops came from behind and killed them. Naturally, they were caught off guard, and hundreds of people were killed and injured in a moment.
"Grand Governor, what should we do now?" Sun Quan couldn't help but grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and asked loudly.
"My lord, we cannot change our orders overnight. If we turn around to fight the Shanyue Army and Cao's army counterattacks, our army will definitely be defeated!" Zhou Yu said firmly: "Order the entire army to attack, and this is the only way our army can do it."
Sun Quan sighed, feeling cold in his heart. He had given up.
"good!"
Cao Cao, who was under the banner of the Chinese Army, saw the Shanyue Army attacking Jiangdong Army's military formation from a distance, and couldn't help but smile.
"Call Cao Ren, it's time to attack."
"Here!"
As soon as the cavalry galloped away, Cao Cao ordered again: "Send the order for the Chinese army to come forward. The prime minister will personally supervise the army and launch a full-scale counterattack!"
"Here!"
The guard soldiers of the Chinese army shouted in unison, but Dian Wei frowned: "How can the prime minister come forward with a body of thousands of dollars? Just order General Cao and the Shanyue Army to attack the Jiangdong Army."
"It's not that Wei doesn't dare to fight, he's just worried about the prime minister's safety." Dian Wei added, fearing that Cao Cao would think that he didn't dare to fight.
"Haha, Gu understands Ziman's thoughts, but the soldiers of the three armies are fighting bravely on the front line, how can Gu stay out of the matter?"
Cao Cao chuckled, then glared sharply, and the Yitian Sword came out of its sheath. It looked like a pool of autumn water in the sunlight, which was very dazzling.
Yitian Sword pointed forward, and Cao Cao said sternly: "Attack with the whole army, defeat Jiangdong Army, and capture Sun Quan and Zhou Yu."
"kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and Cao Cao's central army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally moved out. Although their number was not large, each of them was one of the best in a hundred, and they were all top-notch warriors in the battle formation, so they were mobilized. He came out specifically to defend Cao Cao.
Under Cao Cao's order, thousands of Cao Jun's elite menaced forward and fought fiercely. The morale of Cao Cao's army was like a raging fire cooking oil, and it became even more inspiring.
"Soldiers! The Prime Minister has personally led the troops to support me and others. Brothers, charge forward and defeat Jiangdong's army!"
When Xia Houyuan heard the sound of the drums and trumpets of Cao Cao's army, he couldn't help but cheer up. He waved the long sword in his hand and made a fierce move. He was already at a disadvantage under the attack of Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng, but suddenly he didn't know where. With a burst of strength, the long sword was invigorated, and he fought Xu Sheng and Taishi Ci to a draw.
After Cao Ren, who had been wandering around the periphery, received the order, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Great, the Prime Minister sends the order, the whole army attacks!"
Cao Ren gave an order, and more than a thousand cavalry troops immediately gathered together, forming a huge cone. The front of the troops was aimed at the right wing of Jiangdong Army. The war horses snorted impatiently and paved the ground with their four hooves.
"kill!"
Tap tap tap!
Cao Cao's cavalry launched boldly, trampling the ground with horse hooves, stirring up a cloud of dust. More than a thousand cavalry were covered in the yellow sand. The warriors on horseback held their swords and charged towards Jiangdong's army with great momentum. Come.
boom!
The fierce cavalry of the Cao Army collided viciously with the Jiangdong Army's formation. The galloping horses came with a strong impact and hit the Jiangdong Army, immediately breaking their bones and trampling them on the ground.
Cao Xiu, who had been waiting for a long time, personally led his troops into the formation. He held a sword tightly in his hand, but he did not wave it hard, but used his horse power to dodge past.
Jiang Dongjun, who was hit by him, had his chest scratched by a narrow blade, and a long blood mark suddenly appeared. Blood gushed out from it, and fresh flesh rolled out, screaming in agony.
The stirrup first appeared in the Sui Dynasty. The stirrup in this period was just a prototype and was only used to assist the knight on the horse. If the knight on the horse swung his weapon, he would probably fall off the horse if he used too much force. Therefore, it is generally When a knight charges his horse, he does not chop, but uses the power of his horse to cut across the enemy's body with his blade. Therefore, the cavalry often uses a saber.
The blade in Cao Xiu's hand passed across Jiang Dongbing's body. The enemy's armor was immediately torn open, and a long gash appeared on his body, with blood spilling out. In the era of cold weapons, this kind of injury was enough to kill him. Even if a doctor treated him immediately, he would still be dead. Life may not be 100% saved, let alone treatment.
Cao's cavalry rushed into Jiangdong's army like a thunderbolt and immediately cut a bloody path through Jiangdong's army. The Jiangdong army was in chaos, and Cao Ren ordered to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, you divide five hundred horses to rescue Miaocai. Zidan and I will lead the remaining troops to attack the Jiangdong Central Army."
"Here!"
Cao Xiu immediately sent out five hundred horses and headed towards Xiahou Yuan, while Cao Ren took the remaining men and horses.
