The two sides had only fought for about a quarter of an hour, but Xia Houyuan's front formation had already been torn apart by Zhao Yun. Although if we really count, not many people died directly on the spot, and many of them were victims.
He was slightly injured and then unable to control his body and fell off the horse, but in such a cavalry formation, falling off the horse was really better than being killed on the spot.
Seeing that his own soldiers were unable to gain the upper hand, and were then severely invaded by Zhao Yun, Xia Houyuan became so enthusiastic that he actually commanded his soldiers while charging straight towards Zhao Yun in the midst of the chaos!
In many later games, Xiahou Dun's force value is often higher than Xiahou Yuan's, but if the real situation is true, Xiahou Yuan's force value should be higher.
Many organs of the human body are defective, and the eyes are a part that almost always has defects. Not to mention the lack of night vision, the ability to adjust focus is not as good as that of birds, and there are even blind spots due to congenital defects in the structure.
Shit, so the one-eyed Xiahou Dun was not worth mentioning in terms of force. It was a problem to actually fight in battle. After all, a large part of his field of vision was missing. This is also the reason why Xiahou Dun mostly worked as a central supervisor in the later period of history and rarely went to the front line to fight.
.
But Xia Houyuan has been fighting on the front line all the way to Dingjun Mountain. Moreover, Xia Houyuan has a bad temper and a mediocre outlook on the battlefield. He also likes to complain when he has nothing to do, let alone among the Cao family.
Well, even among the Xiahou family, most people don't like him very much, but Cao Cao is still willing to reuse Xiahou Yuan. There is no other reason than that Xiahou Yuan is one of the few brave people in the Xiahou family!
As the saying goes, one white thing can cover up all ugliness, Xia Houyuan's martial prowess is actually rated higher than it was in history!
At the beginning of Cao Cao's army, whether he was attacking Xuzhou or attacking Yuan Shu, Xia Houyuan was a brave general who rushed to the front line when he was trapped, waving his sword regardless of whether the soldiers and guards behind him could keep up, like a ferocious tiger.
Pounce straight in!
Xia Houyuan's bravery often opened a bloody path for Cao Cao's army. In the past few years, there have been countless generals and commanders killed by Xia Houyuan in battle. Therefore, even though Xia Houyuan had this or that problem, Cao Cao still pretended that he had none.
If you see it, you won't be punished because of this.
Now Xia Houyuan also used his old tricks. With the few cavalry guards around him, he found Zhao Yun's battle flag in the chaos and rushed to meet it! Seeing the spears and swords sweeping towards him like a forest, Xia Houyuan danced with his long sword.
Just then, a clanging sound was heard, and the attacks of ordinary hussars were dispersed. Some people were even beaten by Xia Houyuan's long sword and were unable to control it. If it were not for the cloth and leather rope tied to their hands, I am afraid that they would have been killed.
The weapon is about to fly out!
The war horse under Xia Houyuan's crotch is also a good horse, more than half a head taller than ordinary war horses. Although Cao Cao's army is short of horses, it is like the war horses of senior generals, but it will not be short of these people, just like Cao Cao himself
, aren’t there a lot of “corruption-catching shops” and so on?
Therefore, the strength of Xia Houyuan's current horse was relatively intact. Taking advantage of the space cleared by the sweep, he hissed and crashed into Zhao Yun's formation, grabbed the middle section of Zhao Yun's flank, and pointed directly at Zhao Yun's flag.
!
One of Zhao Yun's military officers suddenly shouted: "Kill the horse!"
What kind of generals are there are what kind of soldiers there are. In so many years of fighting, Fei Qian's "eclectic" fighting style has also influenced many people under his command. Therefore, there are no soldiers like those in other states and counties.
Soldiers are so limited by this rule or that rule...
Xiahou Yuan was startled, and quickly expanded the range of the long sword's swing, covering his own horse, and there were many crashing sounds. After all, he was the leading general of the Xiahou clan, although the hussars were
They tried their best to obstruct and kill, but they still couldn't stop Xia Houyuan. Unfortunately, two others were hit by Xia Houyuan and fell off their horses, head and feet!
Zhao Yun went from a frontline general to a general commanding the army step by step. Among them, Fei Qian's teachings and the study in the martial arts hall were slowly transforming Zhao Yun and the generals under Qiusi. When they entered the battle formation, they naturally fought hard.
Even though he is a bad general, he cannot be said to be a good general.
Except for a very small number of extremely talented generals, it is often impossible for most generals to focus on life and death fighting in the battle formation, and at the same time pay attention to the changes in the battle formation. Therefore, as generals who lead the army, fighting is not the first priority.
requirements, but should focus on commanding the entire army.
But that doesn't mean that Zhao Yun is just a soft persimmon who can be pinched by anyone! Seeing Xia Houyuan approaching, Zhao Yun waved his hand and asked his guards to serve Xia Houyuan an appetizer first!
The guards around Zhao Yun immediately picked up their strung crossbows and fired a round at Xia Houyuan!
Σ(??□??；)
Xia Houyuan didn't even have time to scold this shameless behavior. He could only risk his life and quickly dance the long knife like the wind, knocking away the oncoming crossbow arrows!
Fortunately, on the one hand, Zhao Yun's guards shot out in a hurry. Affected by the bumps of the war horses, not all of them had strong shooting accuracy. On the other hand, Xia Houyuan came from the front, and the entire aiming area was more natural than from the side.
It was much smaller. Even so, Xia Houyuan's palms were slightly numb and his heart was shaken by the powerful crossbow bolts coming towards him!
"Shameless person!" Xia Houyuan roared angrily and rushed forward, because Xia Houyuan knew that the crossbow was slow to be strung up. If he could not take advantage of this opportunity to get close, he might not end well next time when these people re-strung the crossbow!
Zhao Yun laughed, not paying attention to Xia Houyuan's roar. The next moment, Zhao Yun rode forward. When the distance between the two sides was close, when the spear shook, three bright spear heads seemed to appear at the same time, the upper, middle and lower.
Just waiting for Xia Houyuan to bump into him!
When knights and knights fight, there is often only the moment when the horses cross each other!
Xia Houyuan relied on his long sword to be extended by one section, so he didn't care about the spear point that Zhao Yun shook out, and looked at Zhao Yun's head and chest with his head in his pocket! Of course, Xia Houyuan also knew that he couldn't care about these three illusory things at this moment.
Spearheads, because he also knew that as long as he tried to catch these three spearheads, he would probably be unable to parry anything, and might even be taken advantage of. Fortunately, it was better to rely on his own sword and strike first!
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and the three imaginary spear heads merged into one in the next moment. With a "ding" sound, they pierced the surface of Xia Houyuan's long knife, knocking Xia Houyuan's long knife away, and naturally neutralizing Xia Houyuan's hard chop.
A blow comes.
Xia Houyuan's long sword stirred, and none of the changes he had prepared could be used!
Two horses pass each other.
Zhao Yun picked up the small iron halberd hanging on the side of the horse with his backhand, and threw it back without looking at it!
Xia Houyuan, who was about to turn around and fight again, suddenly felt something strange moving in the corner of his eyes. He knew something was wrong, and the long knife in his hand was swung away by the impact just now. He had no time to turn around, so he could only bend forward and bend outward.
, trying to avoid the attack of this unknown shadow...
But the problem is, Xia Houyuan made the same mistake as Li Dian. He thought Zhao Yun was going to shoot people, but in fact Zhao Yun was still shooting horses! It was too late, then it was too late. With the crescent moon and the extremely sharp little iron halberd, he
With a pop, he bit the butt of Xia Houyuan's horse, which was not very delicate!
Even if it is a human being or an animal, the skin on the buttocks is rough and fleshy, but it was stung by such a small iron halberd, stabbed with thorns, and pulled out a bloody opening along the way, cutting off a piece of flesh. Xia Houyuan's war horse
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't bear it. He neighed miserably and ran to one side like crazy, almost knocking Xia Houyuan off his horse, and he couldn't hold him back no matter how hard he pulled!
Regardless of whether this action was taken by Xia Houyuan on his own initiative or forced, in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, Xia Houyuan, as a general, "ran away" after a battle with Zhao Yun!
The momentum of both sides suddenly changed. Originally, Cao Jun was severely suppressed, but now his morale collapsed. Almost at the next moment, he collapsed and fled in all directions with Xia Houyuan...
…This is a dividing line that I don’t know what expression to fill in…
Cao Chun immediately stood under the banner of the Chinese army. He was still some distance away from Xia Houyuan's troops. Naturally, it was impossible to directly see the situation on the battlefield with the naked eye. Scouts were required to communicate with each other.
Although at the beginning, Cao Chun did not agree with Xia Houyuan leading the army to Heluo, but later considering that on the one hand, his scouts basically did not have the advantage, and they suffered huge losses one after another, and they could not figure out the movements of Fei Qian and others.
This is also a very fatal problem on the battlefield. On the other hand, I also thought that I was the commander of the cavalry after all. Even if I couldn't fight, I could still run away, so I finally agreed to come together to conduct a force reconnaissance.
However, Cao Chun always felt a little uneasy. Therefore, Cao Chun's scouts were dispatched very frequently, keeping a close eye on Xia Houyuan's troops in front. When Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yun collided head-on, it didn't take long for Cao Chun to know
Already.
At first, Cao Chun was worried that Xia Houyuan had fallen into the trap of luring troops, and he specifically told his soldiers that if they saw Xia Houyuan starting to pursue, they must go to stop him. What he didn't expect was that it didn't take long for Xia Houyuan's troops to be received.
News of the defeat...
For a moment, Cao Chun was completely confused. The world seemed to have completely lost its color at that moment, and even the sound faded into a buzzing sound, shaking as if he could not sit still on the horse.
What kind of person could defeat Xia Houyuan in such a short period of time?!
Since Zhao Yun basically stayed around Yinshan for a long time after the Battle of Heishan, and the news of the raid on the Xianbei Royal Court was not conveyed to Cao Jun, it was natural that Cao Chun and others did not recognize Zhao Yun. After all, in the Han Dynasty
In this age where information is limited, if Zhao Yun did something in Youbei, it would be abnormal for everyone to know about it in the blink of an eye.
So Cao Chun immediately thought that it was Tai Shici who was dispatched, but when he asked again, it turned out to be a general named "Zhao". He couldn't figure it out. Could it be because Xiahou Dun accidentally missed it?
No matter what the situation was, Xiahou Yuan was defeated in the front, so it was naturally impossible not to rescue him, so Cao Chun ordered the troops to move forward in an attempt to organize and gather Xiahou Yuan's defeated troops.
The scouts whistled back and forth and led Cao Chun forward.
Suddenly, there was some scattered smoke and dust in the line of sight. Immediately, out of the smoke and dust came running out of his own cavalry with crooked helmets and slanted armor, looking frightened. They also turned their heads and looked back from time to time, running towards them like bereaved dogs. Soon there were more Cao Jun soldiers.
The cavalry appeared in the distance of the field of vision. The scattered formation made Cao Chun angry and shocked!
When did Cao's cavalry look like this?!
"Blow the trumpet!" Cao Chun gritted his teeth and ordered, "Let the left and right sides separate and give way to the central thoroughfare!"
The horn sounded immediately. Some of Cao Jun's cavalry who were fleeing in panic were somewhat rational and quickly avoided the direction of Cao Chun and others. However, some others were already dizzy and went straight towards Cao Chun in a daze.
Coming here purely, like a child who was beaten and cried by outsiders, subconsciously ran towards the savior...
But what these people are waiting for is not the rescue of their comrades, but the arrows!
If you collide with the Chinese army, even the generals will be punished with death, let alone a few confused deserters?
"Stabilize the array! Keep pace!" Cao Chun shouted, "Let these guys follow behind!" At this moment, the less panic you can do. Only by gathering in one place can you maintain the maximum combat effectiveness. Cao Chun did not
Instead of blindly emphasizing speed like Xia Houyuan, he constantly emphasized formation, allowing his cavalry to form a unit and roll forward unhurriedly.
"Go away! Ask General Xiahou about his situation!" Cao Chun looked around and saw neither Xiahouyuan's figure nor his general's flag. He couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart. He quickly turned around and gave instructions. His men took orders.
He turned his horse's head slightly, left the queue, and went to ask the broken soldiers who were rejoining behind.
Soon, the sound of the opponent's horse hooves could be clearly heard in the billowing smoke, and the scattered cavalry line was like a line spreading across the entire sky and earth.
Cao Chun did not immediately order the cavalry to attack, but turned to look at the small slope on the side of the road, pointed his hand, and ordered to seize the slope on one side of the road first, and then rearranged the queue at the top of the slope.
, waiting silently.
This is the correct approach, don't seek victory, seek invincibility first.
Although the slope is not very high, there is undoubtedly a certain bonus when attacking from top to bottom. The opponent has already fought a battle, and they are coming from a long distance. If they want to attack against the top, it will definitely be more difficult than before.
Fighting on flat ground requires more losses. This mound can also block a certain amount of sight, making it difficult for the opponent to see how many men and horses you have. At the same time, the neat array gathered together can also bring a certain psychological impact to your men.
sense of security...
Zhao Yun obviously understood this, so when he saw that Cao Chun had seized the only piece of high ground in the surrounding area, he ordered his men to gradually slow down and gather together.
At this moment, the sights of the two young cavalry generals collided in the air.
"This is Cao Chun, Cao Zihe, the general's name is here!" Cao Chun looked at the hussars and horses in front of him, looked at the fierce hussars, looked at the young general under the huge general's flag, and couldn't help but feel
He asked loudly. He wanted to remember this person, remember this hussar general who defeated Xia Houyuan in less than half an hour.
Zhao Yun raised his chin slightly.
"A certain person, Changshan Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!"
