A large number of Cao's cavalry attacked, even if the caltrops were everywhere, they could not stop it. Weapons like caltrops could only disrupt the cavalry's offensive. It was simply unrealistic to rely on caltrops to kill Cao's army on a large scale.
Ma Chao rushed forward with a tiger-headed golden gun. When he saw the erect shield, he shot at it.
clang!!
The barrel of the gun struck the shield.
Peiran's power exploded, and the Wu soldiers holding shields trembled, but they held on and resisted the thunderous blow. The moment the shield soldiers blocked it, the surrounding soldiers holding spears quickly drew out their guns.
Phew! Phew!!
Cold spears came out one after another and stabbed at Ma Chao under the wind and snow.
Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged, and he swiped the tiger-headed golden gun, and kept swinging away the big spears. Hearing the clanging sound, the cold spears thrust out one after another were knocked away. Ma Chao attacked again, with another shot.
Stab out like lightning.
The spear was extremely tricky, as fast as lightning, piercing directly into the gap in the shield and into the body of a spearman.
The tiger-headed golden gun was drawn out, bringing out a cloud of blood.
Ma Chao attacked quickly, intending to break through the defense line of the spear formation, but he had just torn a gap, and the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear stabbed another soldier, trying to further tear the defense line, but the big spear was tightly grasped by the opponent.
Ma Chao was almost injured when other spears struck him. Thanks to all his strength, he was able to withdraw his spear. Even so, his horse was stabbed by the spears of the spear formation.
Ma Chao fell off his horse and charged with another horse.
However, Ma Chao still failed to break through.
The cavalry is very powerful, but when faced with a hedgehog-like formation of spears, they can only be blinded.
The best way is for the cavalry to hang up a formation of a thousand spears. If the spear formation comes to kill, the cavalry will retreat further and shoot from a distance with bows and arrows. If the spear formation wants to withdraw, the cavalry will further cover up the attack and continue to shoot with bows and arrows.
It lasts for a period of time, consuming the physical strength and energy of the spear formation soldiers, and finally they can be harvested.
Unfortunately, Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao did not have enough time and energy to delay. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Ma Chao and Xiahou Dun attacked fiercely, but the defense with a thousand spears remained impregnable.
As a result, Ma Chao and Xiahou Dun were a little anxious.
When Lu Xuan saw this scene, his expression was relaxed and calm, without any urgency. He estimated the time, and as the fighting continued, a quarter of an hour had passed. Lu Xuan allowed the army to defend. Although the soldiers in the gun array suffered losses, the soldiers died in the battle, and again
There are pikemen to make up for it.
Time flies, and another two quarters of an hour passes in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan had already come out of the carriage and stood on the shaft of the carriage to watch the battle. From a high position, he saw a large number of infantrymen appearing in the rear in the distance.
Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao's main infantry arrived.
Most of the infantry entered the battlefield and began to attack fiercely. As for the infantry leader, General Jin, temporarily raided the formation in the rear, responsible for blocking Taishi Ci's reinforcements that were about to kill, and preventing Taishi Ci from affecting Cao's army to encircle Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan saw Cao Jun's large-scale attack. He was motionless and still defended with all his strength.
However, Xiahou Dun became excited. He raised his spear and rode his horse to attack fiercely, saying loudly: "Surround us and eat away at Lu Xuan's spearmen. If you kill Lu Xuan, you will be rewarded with thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households."
"Kill Lu Xuan."
Xiahou Dun further ordered loudly.
Ma Chao echoed.
Countless infantrymen of Cao's army came up and, together with the cavalry, besieged Lu Xuan's spear formation.
The spear formation can block the cavalry charge to the greatest extent. Facing a large number of infantry, these Cao army infantry are like ants, constantly attacking, which puts more and more pressure on Lu Xuan's side, and the casualties of the spearmen also increase.
"Hold, defend with all your strength."
"Everyone, hold still."
Lu Xuan gave the order at the center of the military formation and shouted: "Tai Shici's army is on its way. When the reinforcements arrive, we can solve the threat of Xiahou Dun and destroy Xiahou Dun."
"The current defense is for the next counterattack and must be defended."
"The king is here and will never retreat."
"Everyone fights to the death. When the soldier dies, the corps commander will take over. When the corps commander dies, the commander will take over. Even if we are down to the last man, I will still be there."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed in the center.
He encouraged the soldiers under his command and asked the soldiers in the spear formation to defend. Even though the soldiers suffered heavy casualties under Cao Jun's attack, it was worth it to delay Xiahou Dun.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Endless pressure was pressing down, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, but these thousand spearmen remained unmoved.
When the plan was first drawn up and Taishi Ci's mission was arranged, Taishi Ci mentioned that he hoped that Lu Xuan would not put himself in danger and that Taishi Ci could pretend to be Lu Xuan. However, Lu Xuan refused and adopted the current plan against all opinions.
Only in this way will Xiahou Dun attack directly in Lu Xuan's direction. Only in this way can the military formation be stabilized.
In short, Xiahou Dun could not be considered dead unless Lu Xuan took risks. Only if Lu Xuan took risks, could Xiahou Dun attack desperately in order to destroy Lu Xuan. This was the opportunity to win.
"Attack and kill Lu Xuan."
"Kill me!"
Xiahou Dun kept giving orders.
He fought continuously but failed to break through. He was so angry that his eyes widened with murderous intent. He saw Lu Xuan right in front of him and saw Zhou Yu dead. As long as Lu Xuan was killed, the situation of Qin and Wu would change.
There are countless capable people in Lu Xuan's Wu Kingdom, and these people only recognize Lu Xuan and are only subject to Lu Xuan's control and arrangements. As long as Lu Xuan dies and the group is leaderless, the Wu Kingdom will naturally collapse.
Killing Lu Xuan is the only shortcut.
Xiahou Dun kept shouting loudly, and both the cavalry and infantry charged fiercely, so that Lu Xuan's army was harvested and eaten away bit by bit, and the number of people was visibly reduced.
Xiahou Dun's expression became more and more urgent. When he was chasing Lu Xuan, he got the news from the sentry that Taishi Ci sent troops to kill him. Therefore, he had to destroy Lu Xuan's army before Taishi Ci's elites came to kill him.
.
"Kill Cao's army and kill Xiahou Dun.
When Xiahou Dun was attacking fiercely, suddenly there were shouts from far behind.
Taishi Ci's army came to kill him.
"General Xiahou, Taishi Ci's army is too strong, especially the trapped camp, which is invincible. Our defense line cannot hold it at all."
Yu Jin ran back.
Xiahou Dun looked at the panicked Yu Jin, and secretly cursed Yu Jin for being a waste. The eagerness on his face disappeared, and a deep disappointment flashed across his eyes.
The chance to kill Lu Xuan is gone!
Next, Taishi Ci's army came, and they fought against Taishi Ci's army.
What follows is a melee.
Xiahou Dun was also a brave and skilled man. He had no fear and loudly ordered a fierce attack. While attacking Lu Xuan, he further engaged Tai Shi Ci's army. On the other side, Lu Xuan received the news that Tai Shi Ci was coming to kill him, and his face burst into smiles.
coming!
Reinforcements have finally arrived!
It's just that Xiahou Dun thought that Taishi Ci could fight in a melee when he came to kill him, so he was totally wrong.
Xiahou Dun had no chance.
Lu Xuan directly jumped on his horse, mounted a horse, drew his sword out of its sheath, and said loudly: "Everyone shouts, Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead, but he faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
"Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead, but he faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
Lu Xuan shouted again.
"Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead, but he faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
The guarding pikemen shouted.
The sound gradually became uniform and uniform. The army following Taishi Ci heard the shouting from a distance and started shouting too. On the battlefield, news that Zhou Yu faked his death and lured Xiahou Dun to send troops continued to echo.
Xiahou Dun looked shocked, with an incredible look on his rough cheeks.
