If he had a choice, Cao Chun did not want to face off against Chang Shan's army, because in this way, even if he won, there would be a lot of damage, which would not be conducive to the control of the desert grassland in the later period. At the same time, Chang Shan's army only controlled the north with hussars.
Mo's right arm and his left arm are in Yinshan, so even if he wins Changshan, if the loss is too great, it means losing the entire desert.
But now, in order to find out the movements of Chang Shan's army, Cao Chun had to launch an attack.
The weather is cold...
Cao Chun can't build an altar like Brother Tuzhu, draw talismans and recite incantations...
The Hu people are obviously not so obedient anymore, and one of the ways to make the Hu people be obedient is to show enough force.
Under the leadership of Cao Chun, Cao Jun's cavalry finally showed the results of all previous training.
But Cao Chun didn't know what was waiting for him.
After all, no one in Cao's army has ever experienced Changban Slope, and no one in Cao's army fully understands Zhao Yun's core strength...
Did Cao Chun think that Zhao Yun won the victory just with the help of elite cavalry?
He has it now too!
Akimbo.
Stare.
Just shout, I'm going to fight the elite...
Indeed, this moment was the highest point of Cao Chun's confidence.
Cao Chun killed an opponent who was about to chop his horse, and then sidestepped to avoid the spear of the hussars on the left, and slashed his arm with a backhand knife, and the blood spurted out.
Cao Chun rushed to the front, and his personal guards followed closely behind, gradually launching sharp attacks like awls.
Cao's cavalry followed the training instructions and arranged themselves in rows and rows in an orderly manner. The soldiers on the outside were responsible for killing enemy cavalry, while the soldiers on the inside were responsible for supplementing the casualties on the outside. At the same time, they used bows, arrows and crossbows to assist their comrades, either to finish up the damage, or to
It's a rescue.
Cao Jun tried to turn into a hungry wolf with red eyes, opened his bloody mouth and pounced on him fiercely, bit him, stretched out his sharp claws and tore at Zhao Yun's soldiers desperately. However, when Cao Jun tried to invade Zhao Yun's soldiers, he unknowingly
However, he suffered more damage from Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.
On the entire central battlefield, Cao Chunjun and Zhao Yunjun were fighting each other to the death, while far away on the two wings, there seemed to be a very tacit "sit-in demonstration". The barbarians on both sides shouted loudly and made a lot of noise.
But there was no real physical fight, it was more like fighting with sound and dust.
There is only one alpha wolf in the desert.
When the alpha wolf fights, the other wolves in the pack usually howl on the side. Only after the alpha wolf decides the winner, the rest of the wolves will really start to move.
The soldiers and horses of Cao Chun and Zhao Yun were entangled and fighting. The dull sound of swords and spears entering the body, the scream of long arrows piercing the air, the collision of swords, the sound of broken bones as they hit and fell, and the heart-rending screams.
, the sound of the galloping hooves of war horses, the roar of life-saving fights, various sounds intertwined together, mixed into a huge roar.
Zhao Yun's cavalry gradually gathered together, like a long sword, piercing directly into Cao Chun's front army, and quickly defeated Cao Chun's front army array.
Although Zhao Yun was flanked by Cao Chun and his soldiers, Zhao Yun's arrow array was very sharp when it broke through, and it pierced directly...
Indeed, if the sharp arrow array cannot be concentrated enough, it will not have the power to defeat the opponent's array.
Zhao Yun's movements were too fast, exceeding Cao Chun's expectations.
Cao Chun's plan was correct in its plan.
He abandoned the front army at the beginning, and then judged that Zhao Yun would lead the main force directly towards his center army to disrupt and break through the opponent's center, kill the generals and capture the flag, and achieve victory.
This is the tactic used throughout Shanxi, Youbei, Yongliang and other places in the Han Dynasty. It is the most worrying plan for most cavalry operations.
Cao Chun guessed that Zhao Yun would do this, so he abandoned the front army like a gecko with its tail cut off, and then used the smoke and dust raised by the front army to cover the sight of Zhao Yun's army and horses. He led the center army and the left wing, forming two weapons, one heavy and one light.
The hammer hit Zhao Yun from the side of the piercing long sword. It is best to let the sharpest point of the sword pass, and then break the second half of the long sword and swallow it...
The front army blocks the attack, the heavy wing outflanks, and the auxiliary wing supports, with outflanking as the center of the battle.
Perfect plan.
In this way, if Zhao Yun wants to go around and bite him, he can only chase after Cao Jun's butt. Then Cao Chun can wait for an opportunity to take Zhao Yun and lure him towards the Black Stone Forest.
Cao Chun even hoped that Zhao Yun could attack him single-handedly, and then Cao Chun could ask his bodyguard to take out the powerful crossbow that had been prepared long ago, give Zhao Yun a fatal blow, and immediately take Zhao Yun's head, announcing that this time
A great victory in the encounter...
But what Cao Chun didn't expect was that Zhao Yun's army formed a long and thick array of charging arrows, and there was no sign of wavering or hesitation at all. It was like a reckless bison, charging without stopping at all!
The key is too fast!
It was so fast that Cao Chun attacked sideways with heavy and light intrusions on both sides. It was like scratching a bison, leaving a few bloody marks, and maybe biting some flesh, but there was not much damage to the whole.
In order to gain speed, Zhao Yun's cavalry did not have any entanglement with Cao Jun at all. They cut if they could and shot if they could. Regardless of whether they hit the target or not, they just left with one strike and charged forward without hesitation, leaving Cao Jun with both sides.
The outflanking action fell into an empty space, and Cao's army's rear array, which attempted to outflank Zhao Yun's cavalry, fell into an empty space.
Then a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. After Zhao Yun led his men to break through Cao Jun's forward, they rushed directly out of the space that Cao Jun deliberately gave up without stopping. Then the two wings led by Cao Chun wanted to bite
However, due to the difference in distance between straight lines and arcs, Zhao Yun's butt opened a wide mouth, only to get a mouthful of dust.
This is a cavalry battle. The judgment and choice made in a moment will determine the subsequent changes, and the subsequent choices will produce new changes...
If Zhao Yun hesitated a little after breaking through Cao Jun's front army, or because he wanted to kill more Cao Jun cavalry, then Zhao Yun would have blocked his way forward, and waited until Cao Chun led the two wings
When more people come up, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides. No matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, he will not be able to resist in two places at the same time.
A person always has only one front, the eye range and the direction of attack are forward, and the sides and back are weak points. Even if Zhao Yun is very skilled in martial arts and is not afraid of weak points, what about other ordinary hussars?
But now Zhao Yun led the cavalry without stopping at all, neither greedy for credit nor hesitation, so naturally there was no congestion, and he slipped out smoothly. Not only did he eat most of Cao Jun's front army in vain, but he also let Cao Jun's
The pincer attack failed.
At this moment, Cao Chun naturally couldn't give Zhao Yun a chance to reorganize his team and charge again. He could only bite Zhao Yun's butt with all his strength...
Zhao Yun also started to turn around with his people.
Then the two sides began to form a fighting posture, chasing each other's butts.
In such a situation, unless one of the parties leaves part of the team behind and conducts a life-saving interception, they can change from being entangled with each other. However, the troops left behind to intercept can easily be knocked through by the other party at once, and once they are hit by the other party,
If it is penetrated, interception and outflanking are out of the question, just like Cao Chun's failed strategy just now, so neither side will change the formation easily.
It wasn't until both sides had gone around twice that Cao Chun gritted his teeth, abandoned part of his butt, and turned towards the Black Stone Forest.
Cao Jun's chrysanthemum suddenly became bloody.
As soon as Cao Chun retreated, the Hu troops belonging to Cao's camp also retreated immediately without saying a word.
The barbarians were running around, causing Cao Chun to grit his teeth with hatred. He swore that if he defeated Zhao Yun in the Black Stone Forest, he would use the force to kill all these barbarian leaders and support him again.
The agent is here!
…
…
Zhang He was also leading people to run towards the Black Stone Forest.
After several repeated attempts, Zhang He was able to roughly guess an answer from the Semu people who could not communicate. That is, Zhang He seemed to have killed one or several important roles among the Semu people, so these Semu people were like
It bit him like a mad dog.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Semu people, Zhang He's numbers were not large, and it was not worth the Semu people to swallow their anger.
After Zhang He judged the answer, he immediately ran straight to the Black Stone Forest regardless of the situation.
The reason why he was entangled with these lustful people before was because Zhang He thought that he could not let these lusty people disrupt the original plan by showing force or letting these lusty men retreat. However, after a period of time, he discovered that these lustful men were not allowed to disturb the original plan.
It's like sticky candy and can't be shaken off. The more you hit it, the more energy you get...
So now Zhang He could only run all the way with "Nawhide Candy", straight into the Black Stone Forest.
The Black Stone Forest is a medium-sized forest that is famous for the presence of black stones in the forest.
Before the Han Dynasty, the use and understanding of coal was very general. Perhaps it was because direct combustion of untreated coal would produce a large amount of sulfide gas and other toxic gases. Therefore, even if some brave men started to use coal, they would often
The record that these coals were toxic and unusable was left behind. It was not until the large-scale mining and use of coal in Guanzhong that people in Shandong gained a new understanding of coal.
The Black Stone Forest is such a location that has been explored, but the storage capacity is not large, and it is relatively remote. It can even be said that the amount of coal here is not even worth serious mining. The coal seams are too thin and sparsely distributed, but it is
This is why there is room for some trees to grow.
Zhang He didn't know exactly what Cao Jun's plan was in the Black Stone Forest. He was just heading towards the Black Stone Forest with a few large and small tails.
This is also a helpless move.
Semu people also have war horses.
These Semu people's war horses may have some shadows of Shire horses. They are taller than Xiliang horses, covered with long hair, and have strong bodies. They are obviously more adapted to the cold northern desert area. They may have evolved in later generations.
There are some war horses in Northern Europe, but now there is also great pressure on Zhang He and others.
If the Semu people do not have cavalry, Zhang He still has extra room for choice.
However, these lustful war horses are not afraid of the cold and have more endurance. If the delay continues, it will definitely be Zhang He and others who will freeze to death from exhaustion.
As a result, Zhang He could only choose to rush towards the Black Stone Forest regardless...
This choice is not a good choice most of the time.
Normally, this kind of long-distance division of troops requires a certain amount of contact when reaching the strategic target to ensure that the effectiveness of the joint attack is maximized. Otherwise, if each attack separately, the other party will have the opportunity to defeat each other.
.
But the problem is that Zhang He now has to drag his tail...
These Semu people undoubtedly have very strong abilities in tracking. Zhang He did not know how these Semu people found the correct direction in the desert and traced the traces of Zhang He and others, but Zhang He could not wait to solve the Semu people.
He would only advance after threatening him, which would undoubtedly delay things. In fact, Zhang He had already delayed his time, and now he could only make up for it as much as possible.
Therefore, Zhang He could only take a risk without contacting Zhao Yun.
In the distance, the black stone forest was revealed just where Zhang He could see it.
…
…
On the battlefield, it is extremely difficult to deliver orders.
Especially when the scene is chaotic.
This is the disadvantage of frontline generals.
When attacking, he is extremely sharp. He can discover the opponent's flaws anytime and anywhere, expand the attack, or attack the opponent's military formation, kill the generals and capture the flag, or shock and shatter the opponent's line, causing chaos in the opponent's queue, and then establishing victory.
But when there is a problem with the leading attack, because of the field of vision, the frontline generals cannot see clearly the changes in the entire battlefield in time. They can only see the area in front of them. Even if they want to command other troops to coordinate,
It is also very difficult.
Lu Bu is undoubtedly the god of death on the battlefield and an absolute general. But once Lu Bu retreats, he instantly changes from a hero to a bear. He will also be kicked on the butt by generals who are obviously not as powerful as him...
Cao Chun's force value was naturally not as good as Lu Bu's, so when he retreated, he couldn't micromanage his troops at all. He could only endure the pain of having his tail cut off and rush to the Black Stone Forest as quickly as possible.
After testing, Cao Chun has now determined that the Changshan Army is indeed commanded by Zhao Yun, or at least a troop commanded by a fairly qualified cavalry general. This is inconsistent with the information Cao Chun obtained!
Damn it!
Now we can only rely on the Black Stone Forest.
Although part of the front and rear armies were lost, most of Cao's cavalry remained, and in the process of entangled and attacking Changshan's army, they also caused some damage to Changshan's army. Overall, it can only be regarded as a small loss.
.If you can use the traps in the Black Stone Forest to trap most of the Changshan Army, then you will still make money.
The cavalry ran with all their strength, very fast, and their ears were filled with the sound of horse hooves. The horses became more and more excited as they ran, and their hooves leaped into the air. Cao Chun looked back and saw the flag of the Changshan Army following far behind.
, couldn't help but feel a little relaxed, thinking that he had a plan.
…
…
"Full speed ahead……"
Zhang He shouted loudly.
The troop's galloping speed suddenly accelerated, but the war horse's breathing gradually became heavier, puffing and spraying white foam, and its physical strength was approaching its limit.
"General! The horsepower can no longer support it!"
Zhang He's guard reminded.
Zhang He looked back and said, "You must keep a certain distance! Slow down after rushing through the black stone forest!"
The Cao army who stayed behind in the Black Stone Forest had discovered Zhang He and his party, and warning gongs sounded in the forest. Because most of the horses were taken away by Cao Chun, there were not many cavalry left in the Black Stone Forest.
And their combat effectiveness was relatively average. Most of the rest of Cao's soldiers were infantry, so when they discovered that Zhang He and others were coming from the west, these Cao's soldiers did not have the courage to attack directly. Instead, they formed a defensive formation on the edge of the Black Stone Forest.
If you don't know the opponent's situation or the number of incoming enemies, and without accurate information, you generally won't choose to attack rashly. If you are defeated by the opponent in one fell swoop, wouldn't it delay and affect the overall defense system?
According to the original defenses, block the opponent, and then carry out targeted counterattacks after determining the situation. Under normal circumstances, such a move is undoubtedly safe.
However, Zhang He came who did not follow common sense, and came in a direction that Cao Jun was not prepared for!
The edges of the Black Stone Forest are irregular.
Cao Jun raised his sword and spear at the edge of the forest and opened his bow.
Zhang He led his men towards the Black Stone Forest.
In the distance, the Semu people were riding horses that were a head taller than Zhang He and others, shouting and screaming.
Zhang He led his troops, roaring, passing by the edge of the Black Stone Forest, and then disappeared on the other side of the Black Stone Forest.
Because Zhang He did not enter the defensive position of Cao Jun, Cao Jun did not fire arrows in vain.
When many Cao soldiers were wondering why Zhang He was running around the Black Stone Forest without attacking, the Semu people in the distance arrived, and they seemed to be even more powerful than Zhang He and others.
The men were bigger, the horses were stronger, and their howling voices were louder, which made many Cao Jun subconsciously look in the direction of those lewd men.
Where did these monsters come from?
Are you with Zhang He?
To the Semu people, there seemed to be no difference between Zhang He and the others and the soldiers of Cao's army in front of them.
Because of the angle of view, these men with lustful eyes did not notice that Zhang He was running around the woods, but seemed to have entered the woods.
In particular, the Semu people discovered that these Cao Jun soldiers on the edge of the black stone forest had the same skin color, the same attire, and the same flag as Zhang He and others. Well, there might be a little difference, but most of them were the same.
The arrows are all the same!
The Semu people howled and waved the battle axes and wooden clubs in their hands to express their anger and condemnation of the brutal killing of their important clan members by Zhang He...
For these lustful people, if they are killed in battle, there is nothing to complain about, and it is even an honor for a warrior. But if they are tortured to death, it is an unforgivable insult that will make them
The souls of the dead warriors cannot rest in peace, and they have brought shame to their tribe.
Zhang He conducted "experiments" to understand the body functions of these lustful people, dismembering corpses and turning living people into ice sculptures...
When it comes to this kind of faith issue, there is no reason or logic at all. For example, God knows that he must take at least one day off after working for six days, but the capitalists' faith is 996 and 007, and they talk shamelessly and nonsense.
Is it rational and logical?
There was a language barrier between Zhang He and the Semu people, and Cao Jun was also unable to communicate with these Semu people. When these Semu people followed Zhang He and approached the Black Stone Forest, Cao Jun's soldiers naturally shot arrows at these Semu people.
, trying to prevent these lustful people from approaching, but such actions angered these lustful people even more.
The Semu people roared, mistaking Cao Jun's soldiers as reinforcements for Zhang He and others, or thinking that Black Stone Forest was the base camp of Zhang He and others. They rushed up angrily, swinging their battle axes and wooden clubs, butting against Cao Jun's arrows.
