Regardless of whether Cao Hong's swearing was true or false, or an excuse to give himself an excuse to step down, anyway, at this moment, a group of chariots and armors arranged in accordance with his orders had already begun to lead people to the hussar.
Rushed away!
Because what Cao Hong and the chariots agreed upon at that time was that when the central camp was on fire, they would go straight to the hussars' center formation!
Now, Cao Jun’s central camp is on fire!
The light of fire is the command!
In an era without instant messaging, it was extremely common for this kind of thing to happen.
Even if there is communication, it is very easy for problems to occur. For example, when a military order is passed, Qinyang is written as Biyang, and then the army rushes to Biyang. Do you think this is because the combat staff who issued the order was careless, or is it?
Deliberately careless?
The cry of killing echoed in the night, and the horse's hooves trembled on the loess.
Most of the Hussars went towards Cao Jun's camp. There were not many people left in the center, but there were quite a few sentries placed on the outside!
Not long after the chariots and the leading cavalry from the center led by Cao Hongliu ran towards the hussar center formation, they were discovered by the hussar scouts, who blew the copper whistle and made a sharp warning sound!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Direction of Xu Shi!"
"Hoo! Drink!"
As the commands came out layer by layer, the hussar's center formation began to adjust its direction.
Fei Qian, on the other hand, sat firmly on the high platform, "Hmm? Xu Shi? That's the right time."
Xiahou Dun's eyebrows moved. He didn't expect that Qiusi Feiqian was still thinking about these things when he encountered an enemy attack. Shouldn't he urgently deploy troops and then lay out a defensive strategy? How could he still consider whether it was "in response to the situation"?
?
Xu Ye, from Wu contains one, which means destruction.
In September, the Yang Qi is weak, all things are completed, and the Yang falls into the earth.
Among the five elements, Earth is born in Wu and flourishes in Xu.
At its peak, it will decline!
Among the great Han people today, who is the earth element? Who is the most prosperous?
Xiahou Dun suddenly felt heart palpitations and was speechless for a moment.
In the light of the fire, the chariot broke through the interception of some hussar squadrons, and with red eyes, headed towards the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies where Fei Qian was!
If we can break through and defeat the hussars' central formation, just like Cao Hong said, we can still fight!
On the high platform, more than a dozen flags rolled in the night wind and danced under the light of the fire.
The chariot rider seemed to have seen the figure of the hussar, so he pointed his spear and roared!
"Come forward! Kill him!"
Che Zhou knew that if he rushed forward like this, he would be in danger of death, but he still came.
The surname Che is rare.
Just like Feiqian's Fei family.
But he didn't have the same luck as Fei Qian.
He is the queen of Che Qianqiu, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty.
That's it, no more.
To a certain extent, he was blessed by Che Qianqiu, but in fact, he was poisoned by Che Qianqiu.
Because Che Qianqiu was originally named Tian, and when Che Qianqiu was the prime minister, that is, in the sixth year of the First Yuan Dynasty, Che Qianqiu presided over the Salt and Iron Conference...
That's right, it's the salt iron.
Chinese people have always had a tradition of compromising public and private interests.
The well fields of Zhou Dynasty, the salt and iron of Han Dynasty, and...
And the fat ones are definitely not the poor people.
As a manager, I ignore or even indulge in various problems in the growth of fruit trees, just so that when the tree is cut down, I can team up with others to pick out the fattest fruits first, while leaving the insect-eaten eyes behind.
Point out the rotten roots and say if you see it, they are all rotten, so you are not wrong, you are a loyal man to the whole family, and your reputation will last forever!
But he intentionally or unintentionally ignored his original responsibility as the caregiver and manager of the fruit trees!
What did he do when the fruit trees were infested with insects and rotten roots?!
As a result, the car's reputation will last forever.
After Che Qianqiu, none of his descendants can stand in the great hall of the Han Dynasty!
Even his son committed suicide because of the crime of "stealing to increase wealth and gain"!
After committing suicide, the title, land and property are still wiped out!
So by Che Zhou's generation, it had declined as low as that of King Jing of Zhongshan, and was divided again during the Three Kingdoms Rebellion. Emperor Xian moved eastward along the way, and barely survived the rebellions of Li and Guo. The other branch went south to Jingzhou
, and later he avoided Wuling, and he was the one who was called the "Wuling Strange Man". Well, he was the strange man who said "Wuling Barbarian County has this strange man".
After King Jing of Zhongshan, he was fighting for the glory in his heart. Che Qianqiu's descendant, Che Zhou, was also struggling to prove himself!
In troubled times, struggling.
But the result of struggling is nothing but a Xuzhou governor who will never take office!
He wants to take office!
He didn't want to be a polished commander forever, so even though this mission was dangerous, he still came!
The current carriage seems to be struggling in a net, a net of death.
The more you struggle, the more painful you are, and the closer you are to death.
The small team of hussars patrolling outside did not rush directly to fight with their lives. Instead, they were like piranhas, swimming around the outside of the cavalry formation. From time to time, crossbow arrows were fired from the darkness, gradually attacking the cavalry and others.
bloodletting.
These arrows and crossbow bolts are often not aimed at Cao Jun’s cavalry, but at the war horses!
Even though Cao Jun's cavalry intentionally helped block and bump into each other, some things would inevitably be missed. From time to time, the whine of a war horse was heard, followed immediately by the sound of falling and collision...
When it came to the current situation, Che Zhou certainly knew that Cao Jun's camp could not hold on any longer. If he took a step back, it would collapse.
The fire breaks out in the central camp. Whether it is the fire set by yourself or the hussars and horses have rushed into the central camp, as long as the flag of the central camp falls, it will be a huge disaster for Cao's army! It will be courageous for the army and lose the master.
The flag not only loses the convenience of dispatching and commanding, but also makes the whole army suddenly become frightened!
Therefore, he had to buy time, take advantage of the opportunity before the Hussars could turn around, raid the main formation of the Hussars, capture and kill Fei Qian, and then give Cao's army a glimmer of hope!
One side is trying desperately to break through, while the other side is trying its best to intercept. Both sides are running at high speed, swords, guns and arrows are shining with cold light, and blood is spilled on the yellow earth.
The driver heard various sounds coming from his ears, especially the last shrill cry of casualties. He knew that fighting at night was always the most brutal death battle. The formation was completely uncontrollable, and it was nothing more than human lives.
Fighting for their lives. As the carriages continued to charge forward, more and more hussars came to intercept. The number of casualties on both sides was soaring rapidly. No one knew what was going on in this chaotic moment.
How many men and horses were disembarked!
Fei Qian stood on the high platform.
He was standing under the waving tricolor flag.
Seeing Xiahou Dun's look, Fei Qian smiled, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the high platform of the central camp that was in flames in the distance.
The king sees the king, but the king does not see the king either.
Xiahou Dun's eyes were slightly cold, but he quickly closed his eyes and sighed. At that moment, Xiahou Dun really had an urge to rush forward and catch Fei Qian, like a meteor falling from the sky.
Normally, it becomes a blooming blood flower on this piece of yellow land!
But when he regains his sense a little bit, he will be kicking him crazily in his mind, telling him that half a step behind him, there is the strong man who looks like a mixed-haired bear. As long as he makes the slightest move, he will be killed.
Will be held down tightly...
Xiahou Dun's own strength is not very strong. It is naturally better than Fei Qian, but it is not enough for him to still be able to use Wushuang in the current situation where he is empty-handed.
So in the end, Xiahou Dun could only stare at Fei Qian, watching the cloak on Fei Qian's body moving, and pursed his lips. He didn't know that he wanted the night wind to be stronger and blow this pretentious guy away.
After getting off the high platform, I was still thinking about calling in friendly fire to turn myself into ashes along with the Cavalry Feiqian.
Under the high platform, flags were hoisted and sharp whistles were blown.
Fei Qian looked at the Cao Jun fire dragon that was coming from the direction of Anyi City, shook his head and sighed, "What a pity..."
What's a pity?
Fei Qian didn't tell him, and no one asked.
The land of Shandong is not without brave people, and the land of the Central Plains is not just cattle and horses working with their heads down.
Chen Sheng, who spoke out the voices of many people at the bottom and made those at the top frightened and wished they could delete them from history and textbooks, was also from Henan.
But what about in the end?
The shouting was made by Chen Sheng, and the blood was shed by Chen Sheng, but the person who enjoyed the results in the end, at least for a while, was the queen of the old nobles of Chu State.
Generation after generation, again and again, cattle and horses were domesticated.
Generation after generation, time and time again, all things are domesticated!
It's not that the chariots and cavalry are not brave, it's not that the leading cavalry of Cao's army are not brave, but that their bravery is used in the wrong place. They stand with the Shandong nobles and are brave for those who control their means of production and living.
Just like the vicious dogs raised in the manor, they are brave after all.
Che Zhou saw the high platform right in front of him, and the figure on the high platform was so dazzling that his vision was blurred, like myopia plus astigmatism. Suddenly he realized that he didn't know when he had a headache.
His forehead was already injured, and blood flowed down his forehead, blurring his eyes.
"Kill..."
The chariot roared, and his voice became hoarse and weak from the continuous roars. Moreover, with such a mixture of chaotic sounds, even the leading cavalry in Cao's army behind the chariot might not be able to hear the chariot clearly.
Che Zhou was shouting something, but Che Zhou still shouted, waving his blood-stained spear and pointing at the high platform where Fei Qian was.
The sharp copper whistle stung Che Zhou's eardrums.
The rider knew that it was the unique command sound of the hussars, and it was also used to warn or convey some message, but the rider had no intention of identifying anything at the moment. He was only less than 10 meters away from the infantry array under the hussar high platform.
Two hundred steps!
Very good!
Success is just around the corner!
When the carriage ran all the way without being attacked by the hussar artillery, he thought he was close to success!
Yes, under the cover of darkness, it is difficult for artillery to aim and hit!
When the hussars really saw their figures, they had already arrived in front of the hussars' formation!
The chariots were prepared for everything, even ready to use their flesh and blood to smash through the horses, spears and shields of the hussars' infantry array, to open a bloody path, and to create a chance for a comeback!
Two hundred steps!
For the cavalry, two hundred steps is like the blink of an eye!
So Che Zhou blinked.
What is that?
Even at night, with his vision blurred by the color of blood, at a distance of two hundred steps, the rider saw something that seemed to be placed in front of the hussar infantry array?
It's just an outline, but does it look like a car?
This is about twenty cars, but what is the purpose of placing such a car relatively alone in front of the formation?
Is this meant to be used as a horse-rejection weapon?
But why are they not connected together?
Are there dozens or twenty cars scattered around that you want to stop?
Is this because there was no time to prepare?
A feeling of pride arose in Che Zhou's heart when he suddenly saw a little firelight on the outline of the vehicle, and soon there were sparks shooting out in all directions...
not good!
The rider instinctively felt a sense of extreme fear, but before he could do anything or shout anything, the dark outlines of the vehicles were suddenly lit up by dazzling firelight!
Gray-white smoke spread out into the air, and the eardrum-piercing scream dominated the entire night sky.
Suddenly, dozens of rockets with fireworks, like a swarm of bees emerging from the nest, flew into the air with a whine, and shot at Cao Jun's cavalry group along a relatively low trajectory!
The screams of death passed by Che Zhou’s ears!
I don’t know whether this is Che Zhou’s luck or his misfortune.
If he was directly hit by a rocket and died on the spot, there might not be much pain.
Just when Che Zhou was gasping for breath, thinking that he had just had a brush with death and everyone was safe, the rockets began to explode one after another!
The screams of horses and cavalry suddenly became loud!
One car, twenty rockets, twenty cars, nearly four hundred rockets were fired in a short period of time!
Well, some stubborn or malfunctioning rockets were left on the car and even exploded on the car!
Fei Qian looked at it and couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice and shook his head.
These are all free money!
Cao Jun wanted to fight for consumption, and now he did it.
It's just that Cao's army consumed human lives, while Fei Qian consumed money.
Which is more important, human life or money? Obviously, in different places and different positions, there will be different answers. But one principle is the same, that is, rare things are more valuable.
There are many people in Shandong, so human life is particularly cheap. However, Guanzhong and Beidi have lacked population from the beginning of their development, so in comparison, human life is much more valuable...
Cao Jun thought it was a good deal to take the most humble things and consume them with Feiqian.
Because in the eyes of people in Shandong, the lives of these lower-class people and soldiers are not valuable.
And Feijun happens to think so too, and thinks it's a good deal.
It will take at least ten years for these people to grow up, and these gunpowder will only take a little trouble at most.
Isn't it a sure profit to exchange lifeless saltpeter charcoal for fresh life?
Therefore, the key point of this "One Throw of the World" has always been that when the money is in place, the effect will be in place.
The firelight generated by the explosion and the derived gray-white smoke filled the space between the two armies, making everyone's vision blurred, and only those bright-colored spots remained on the retina.
The momentum of Cao Jun's entire charge was completely disrupted.
Those who were killed by a direct hit from a rocket would more or less have their bodies intact, but those who were injured by explosions or burnt by gunpowder, the pain would make both humans and horses almost crazy!
The horses rolled on the ground, and the fallen cavalrymen were like sausages falling on the street. The horses behind them, who had no time to stop their feet, rushed upwards, and immediately made a snap, and were either trampled to death or crushed.
In order not to trample on friendly troops, but also shocked by the tragic situation in front, Cao's cavalry behind them involuntarily slowed down one after another, and then crowded together...
The second round came with the attack of the ballista.
The shots of the ballista are not as colorful as those of the rocket car, but they are just as deadly.
A long crossbow gun can often penetrate two or three people at a distance of about two hundred steps, and it even refuses to stop!
Even the thickness of the war horse will be penetrated directly, and then the two horses will be nailed together and die together!
In addition, Cao's cavalry were frightened by the rockets, so they slowed down and clustered together, resulting in a particularly good shooting effect from the crossbows!
When a crossbow gun goes down, it will bring out a stream of blood!
The carriage was still not hit by the second round of blows.
The God of Death caressed Che Zhou's sensitive skin and nerves, and then blew a rogue whistle in Che Zhou's ear teasingly...
"Ahhhhh..."
The car made a meaningless roar, but he still charged!
Charge in the face of death!
With the chariots like this, the leading cavalry of Cao's army did not collapse immediately, but also rushed forward with the chariots!
Again, there may not necessarily be no brave people in Shandong, but in many cases...
Just like now.
After running for a while, Che Zhou's vision suddenly became clear, and he ran through the smoke.
But what appeared in front of the chariot were neat spears and large shields, as well as...
An infantry crossbow mounted on a large shield!
There is more than just artillery in the hussars!
It’s not just cavalry either!
The other parts of the hussars may not be equipped with crossbows, but in Fei Qian's central formation, there must be a soldier who is good at using crossbows in the direct escort battalion!
These enhanced crossbowmen not only shoot faster than ordinary crossbowmen, but they also shoot accurately!
"Be careful with the crossbow..."
Che Zhou shouted, but his cry was interrupted by a crossbow arrow.
The God of Death finally hugged him and lifted him off his horse, like a fallen leaf falling from the sky onto the loess...
Throughout his life, he has been wandering, searching, expecting, and longing.
But it wasn't until the moment he fell off the horse that the chariot rider suddenly discovered that Cao Hong's troops, who were supposed to appear behind him or on the flanks to cover and support his attack, did not appear.
"Oh……"
Che Zhou chuckled at the end. He didn't know what he was laughing at, but he vomited a mouthful of blood.
At the last moment of his life, he saw a darkness rapidly enlarging, eventually becoming boundless and completely swallowing up everything he had.
