Chapter 796: After the Break (Part 2)

When tens of thousands of troops are fighting, it is impossible for everyone to line up in a row and form a group. Under the commander, the generals and soldiers of each battalion must be distributed according to the terrain and cover each other. At the front of the front line and behind the battlefield at the forefront, there must be space for subsequent troops to mobilize, space for front-line troops to retreat and recuperate, as well as wounded soldiers, baggage battalions, etc., all kinds of arrangements are scattered.

So although it seems that tens of thousands of people are concentrated in the narrow and long area between Jingwei, there are actually many gaps between different troops and even the same troops on the battlefield, which is far from being inseparable.

Zhang Fei's five hundred cavalrymen galloped along the gap between the Cao army, and seized every opportunity along the way, crashing into the various troops waiting to launch an attack again and again.

All the Cao army units organized a pursuit with high morale. Suddenly, the iron hooves trampled wildly from the slant. Who could resist? The sudden change came so suddenly. Before the commander sent by Cao Cao had issued the military order, three or five consecutive troops were smashed to pieces by Zhang Fei.

With Zhang Fei rushing to open the way, even if there are brave and brave soldiers along the way, they can't stop them at all. Even if they temporarily organize a defense line, they will be pierced one after another like tofu.

The messengers who came back to report the news were endless. In an instant, four or five people crawled downstairs and reported, saying that a certain lieutenant was dead, a certain lieutenant was dead, and a certain general was dead.

Cao's army had hundreds of thousands, and there were no less than a thousand famous generals and corpses. But who was not the backbone of the army who could follow Cao Cao to Yangling City this time? After hearing a few names, Cao Cao's eyelids were twitching, and he didn't know who to send anger to him. Cao Pi quietly retreated to avoid being angry by his father and suffering unrestrained disasters.

The guards, who were on guard between the front lines, were in a hurry before. They gathered together and tried to chase after the cavalry teams. But as soon as they gathered together, Zhang Fei's troops passed through the gaps between the two larger troops and rushed into the flank of a newly assembled cavalry team.

Although the Cao army's cavalry was fierce and good at fighting, they were not Zhang Fei's opponent? In the blink of an eye, the Cao army soldiers screamed endlessly, and blood and flesh were splattered everywhere. When Zhang Fei rushed out, only corpses were left on the ground. Although his subordinates were damaged, their momentum was as high as flames, and hundreds of cavalry galloped like lightning, continuing to rush forward.

According to common sense, the more formal and perfect the army is, the more it can exert its overall power, and the less room for individuals to exert. But if there are only a handful of tens of thousands of enemies in the world, their courage is almost beyond the limits that ordinary people can imagine. Even when facing a well-trained military army, Zhang Fei still makes a desperate move and a scene of retreating!

At this moment, the Cao army's troops were like a giant full of blood, and Zhang Fei's troops were a steel needle rushing around the giant's body. No matter how big the giant was, if he sat and watched the steel needle pierce everywhere, it would sooner or later endanger his life.

Therefore, there was no need for the order from Wei Gong. The generals and officers of the Cao army waved flags and closed the formation. After all, they had experience and had been trained for a long time. When the initial panic passed, they naturally had ways to deal with it. At this time, the suppression of Liu Bei's army headquarters was slightly slowed down, and more than a dozen troops were circling around, vaguely trying to trap Zhang Fei in the formation and encircle and annihilate him. Seeing that Zhang Fei's range of movement was limited, another general waved the military flag to issue orders, and transferred teams of crossbowmen from all over the place, and began to cover him with arrows from a distance.

Cao Pi realized something was wrong at this time and quickly took a step forward: "Father, we don't care about Liu Bei?"

Cao Cao muttered and cursed, not knowing what he was scolding. He waved his hand and shouted, "Zhongkang!"

Xu Chu was covered in heavy armor and was out of the line.

"Take three thousand cavalry around the battlefield and entangle Liu Bei for me, don't let him go away!"

Xu Chu responded to his order and led the cavalry to rush away like a stream.

"The rest of the cavalry teams will surround Zhang Fei with all their might!"

Another elite tiger and leopard cavalry who were on standby on the side of the car, then slowly approached the formation.

Cao Cao turned to Cao Pi, gestured at the battlefield casually, and said confidently: "Those who want to plan a hegemony have three precepts. One is greed, the second is anger, and the third is anxious. The more you are sure to win, the more you should arrange it calmly. In the current situation, where can Liu Xuande go? It is enough to be entangled by Zhongkang's troops. Let's surround Zhang Fei first, and then see who else he can send out to cut off the rear! Let's eat one!"

Before he finished speaking, hundreds or thousands of people from various front troops yelled.

Cao Cao looked back quickly and saw that the Cao army was about to surround him, but Zhang Fei seemed to have opened his eyes and suddenly shouted, leading the remaining hundreds of cavalry out of the formation. Last moment they were still rushing violently, as if they were going to die. Next moment they all rode their horses and ran towards the direction where Liu Bei's army retreated. This was another action beyond everyone's expectations. Wherever Zhang Fei passed, Cao's soldiers were overturned and fleeing, and no one could stop him for a moment.

The Cao army troops gathered around to try to siege the siege, but the siege was only a mess of casualties and wounds, and blood gathered into a stream, winding along the corpses all over the ground. Looking back at Liu Bei's troops, they had withdrawn for several miles. Only Xu Chu led the cavalry team to pursue them, and it seemed that the effect was not good.

"Funny! They are all fools!" Cao Cao was furious and waved his sword to cut off the railings at the front of the car, then shouted: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Chase me!"

He threw his sword down the car and shouted: "Military Judge! I will patrol all departments with my sword. Anyone who acts slowly and misses the military opportunity will use this sword to kill him!"

Now each unit is re-engineering and chasing each other.

Cao Cao also climbed the wooden ladder and got off the carriage. A entourage rushed to the carriage and asked Cao Cao to get on the carriage to command, but Cao Cao flew up and rolled all over the ground.

"Is this the time to ride a car? Take me to fight the horse!"

Taking advantage of Zhang Fei's cover of rushing back and forth, Liu Bei's central army quickly retreated and escaped from the entanglement of the two armies. Although Xu Chu and other tigers and leopards were chasing on horseback, they frequently circled left and right, trying to get into the formation. However, Liu Bei's army's military formation was always tight, with a large number of swords, shields and hands arranged on the periphery, holding shields side by side, forming a turtle shell-like defense.

When Zhang Fei led the remaining cavalry back, the turtle shell opened for a moment and put Zhang Fei and others in. Xu Chu tried to take the opportunity to attack, but was cut by the stair formation and trapped dozens of cavalry inside. He could no longer see the movement in the blink of an eye.

After all, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were fierce. They repeatedly interspersed and intimidated, and from time to time, Liu Bei's army was leaving behind more than ten corpses. On several occasions, Xu Chu even approached dozens of steps to challenge, but a certain warrior attacked and was killed by Xu Chu in just one round.

Liu Bei's army could only pay more attention to maintaining a tight formation, and ordered the two wings and the back troops not to act rashly and ignore provocation. But in this way, they could not retreat faster. Not long after, the Cao army brigade in the east approached again.

So Zhang Fei led a small group of cavalry to attack again and dispersed the approaching Cao's vanguard.

But this time when Zhang Fei retreated, he was intercepted by Xu Chu. The two cavalry teams killed each other fiercely.

In order to move forward and retreat quickly, Zhang Fei's troops, except for the generals, were mostly light cavalry, which was not conducive to fighting with the armored tiger and leopard cavalry. Cavalry kept falling off their horses or crawling on the horse's back after being seriously injured. Zhang Fei ran to and flew back and forth, and even the people and horses were covered with mud and blood spots, and they were still immersed in momentum.

He killed the Sanhu Leopard Cavalry several times in a row, and fought fiercely with Xu Chu.

Both of them are well-known generals in the world, and they aroused countless horrors when they rushed.

When Zhang Fei finally escaped and returned to the team, five hundred subordinates were killed and half of them injured. He himself was hit by more than ten arrows, six swords and guns wounds, and blood was spreading over the saddle. Among the arrow injuries, five arrows were shot directly from close range, and the arrow clusters pierced two layers of heavy armor and penetrated deep into the flesh. The comrades felt unbearable pain in their eyes, and they really didn't know how he fought with these arrows. His right calf was even severely damaged by a spear, and the wound stretched along the front of the calf, and the white shin could be vaguely seen.

At this time, the army was running and could not be treated with peace of mind. Liu Bei shouted repeatedly, helping Zhang Fei off the horse with everyone, using a curtain as a stretcher between the two war horses, allowing him to lie flat and rest for a while. Zhang Fei only murmured: "I have to change a horse!"

Only then did everyone realize that the black horse he used to ride was sweating all over and spitting bloody foam in his mouth. They all knew that the horse had exhausted its physical strength and might have damaged its internal organs and would never be able to go into battle again in the future.

Someone quickly turned around and comforted him: "General Yide, there are some good horses in our army, you can choose it!"
