Cao Xiu and his men had already retreated to the shore, ready to fight. Seeing Wang Shuang charging from the front on his own, he couldn't help but feel that Wang Shuang was too reckless.
However, he also admired Wang Shuang's dense network of swords. Judging from the fact that Wang Shuang chopped down the arrows shot at him with his big sword, his force was already impressive.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Qin army cavalry pouring down from the mounds on both sides and shouted: "Brothers, behind us is the Yellow River. We have reached the point where there is no way back. If we want to survive,
, there is only a fight to the death.”
"Fight to the end and never retreat!" The five hundred tiger and leopard riders suddenly became more motivated and shouted loudly.
"Draw the sword!" Cao Xiu took the lead in drawing out the saber hanging on his waist, showing the gleaming white blade, and shouted to the cavalry behind him.
"Whoa!"
There was a neat sound, and the five hundred tiger and leopard riders behind Cao Xiu drew their swords at the same time, holding them tightly in their hands. There was a kind of heat in their eyes, and the blood in their bodies seemed to boil in an instant.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the most elite force in the Wei State. Not only is it well-equipped, but every soldier has been carefully selected. Only Cao Cao’s relatives can serve as the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although Cao Xiu is young, he has already served in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
He has served as the captain of the Leopard Cavalry for more than a year. Whenever there is a battle, he is the first to rush to the front. Even Cao Chun, the captain who commands the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, respects him.
Wang Shuang was running rapidly, and when he saw that the enemies were lined up neatly, without saying a word, he immediately raised the sword in his hand, made a virtual slash in the air, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
At the command, the Qin army cavalry who rushed over from the left and right wings took out spears about half a meter long from their backs. When they were still some distance away from the river bank, they borrowed the strength of their arms to throw the spears forward.
passed.
This was the first time Cao Xiu saw such a fighting method. The enemy clearly carried bows and arrows on his back, but instead of shooting arrows, he threw spears. He was not afraid at all. As soon as he dismounted his horse, he immediately shouted: "Fight!"
With a roar, the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry quickly divided into two columns and rushed towards the Qin army soldiers on the left and right wings, while Cao Xiu waved the saber in his hand to fight Wang Shuang alone.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
Dozens of tigers and leopards rushing at the front wanted to use their knives to deflect the shuttle gun, but they didn't know that the shuttle gun looked huge and easy to block, but in fact it was very fast. The opponent seemed to be ten people throwing one target, and they just deflected a shuttle gun.
, several other vital parts of his body were shot immediately, and even his seated war horse was stabbed to death by a spear.
"Wow……"
Dozens of screams rang in Cao Xiu's ears. Cao Xiu did not turn his head, but clenched his back teeth and rushed towards Wang Shuang with a sad and angry heart.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the Qin Army's cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were in a complete melee. Only one of them was facing each other, and they fell on their backs. They were all cavalry wearing Qin Army clothes. Once they were fighting together, even they themselves couldn't figure out who was who.
They were on their own, and for a moment they were panicked. They regarded each other's familiar faces as their own, and started fighting fiercely on the river bank.
Here, Wang Shuang and Cao Xiu had just exchanged hands. Wang Shuang's broadsword slashed downwards with all his strength. Cao Xiu raised his sword to block it. However, he only felt as if there was a thousand pounds of gravity pressing on him. If he hadn't been super strong, he would have been struck to death by Wang Shuang's sword.
No.
"when!"
There was a loud noise, and the two people disappeared in an instant. Cao Xiu's arm was numb from the shock of Wang Shuang, while Wang Shuang was riding on the horse as if nothing had happened, smiling at Cao Xiu, without any incident.
"This person is indeed not simple. It seems that Ma Chao has some strong generals under his command." After only one round, Cao Xiu felt that the opponent's skill in using force was far superior to his own. He glanced at the melee soldiers and was dumbfounded.
He saw eight or nine hundred people wearing uniform Qin army uniforms fighting each other. It was already difficult to tell which side was his subordinates and which side was Wang Shuang's subordinates.
He hurriedly blew a whistle, and the whistle spread quickly throughout the wilderness. As soon as the tiger and leopard riders heard the whistle, they immediately understood and took off the white cloaks on their backs.
, tore off the Qin army uniforms worn outside, revealing the black black armor. In the middle of the black armor was a circular pattern, embroidered with a tiger and a leopard dueling with bared teeth and gaping mouths.
The situation became clear instantly. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Qin Army soldiers were clearly distinguishable. One side was wearing a white cloak and a helmet with a white helmet on it, while the other side was wearing a black black armor with a chest.
The tiger and the leopard are fighting in front, and the word "Wei" is ferocious behind them, fighting each other.
Wang Shuang stood on the horse and looked at Cao Xiu. He didn't even turn his head. Just listening to the screams from behind made him feel very excited. He put the big knife in front of him, the cold light reflected
As the sun shone on his face, his eyes were as bright red as fire. He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the blade of the big knife. A trace of blood red suddenly appeared on the white blade.
After seeing Wang Shuang, Cao Xiu felt that Wang Shuang's behavior was disgusting and made his skin crawl all over.
Wang Shuang's eyes widened, he shouted "drive" and immediately galloped towards Cao Xiu. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu was a little frightened by Wang Shuang, and the force of the sword strike just now made him frightened, so he did not dare to take Wang Shuang's sword again this time, but instead dodge, and after easily dodging it, he looked for an opportunity to move again, thinking
Conquer hardness with softness.
However, Wang Shuang did not give Cao Xiu a chance. When he struck down with one sword but Cao Xiu refused to take it, he struck out with the second, third and fourth swords continuously, shrouding Cao Xiu in infinite sword light.
After a while of "Ding Ding Dang", Cao Xiu only felt that Wang Shuangdao had no flaws, so that he could not find any chance of counterattack, and his own obstruction seemed to be more and more weak.
feeling.
Wang Shuang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, his mouth was opened wide, and a red and bloody tongue just spit out from his mouth, hanging naturally on his mouth. His facial expression was sometimes ferocious, sometimes gentle, like
He looked like a hunting dog that was killing prey. His ferocious eyes and bloodthirsty expression made him look terrifying. It was so terrifying that as soon as he got close to him, there was an aura of death approaching.
"Cao, please stop resisting fearlessly. You can't defeat me. I am invincible and unparalleled in the world. You'd better put down your weapons as soon as possible and let me chop off your head. Otherwise,
, I will cut it one by one
I've delayed you! Haha! Hahaha!" Wang Shuang also felt that Cao Xiu's shield was not as tight as before, and his strength was getting weaker and weaker. Even the knife in Cao Xiu's hand was cut by him.
He said excitedly.
Cao Xiu didn't answer. He glanced sideways at the tiger and leopard cavalry who were fighting in the melee. It didn't matter. He suddenly discovered that there were very few of the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry left. The black ones were being surrounded by white. The white cavalry team was actually...
There are more than 400 cavalry, what a fighting force this is.
"This...how is this possible?"
Cao Xiu saw that the tiger and leopard cavalry he was most proud of were vulnerable to Wang Shuang's men. The remaining two to three hundred cavalry had been surrounded by the Qin cavalry and were being forced towards the Yellow River by the Qin cavalry.
From time to time, tigers and leopards, including men and horses, fell into the Yellow River and were washed away by the rolling Yellow River water, and soon disappeared.
Wang Shuang saw Cao Xiu's expression and sneered: "Little boy named Cao, let me tell you the truth, the tiger and leopard cavalry of your Wei Kingdom are not enough to fill the teeth of our ghost army. If the King of Qin comes, there will be no need for them."
It won’t take long, and you all have to jump into the Yellow River to feed the fish and turtles! Hahaha!”
Cao Xiu became angry again. Grief was originally a person's greatest strength, but at this moment Cao Xiu was having trouble catching Wang Shuang's moves. What power did he have to save those tiger and leopard knights? He could only watch the tiger and leopard knights helplessly.
One after another, they fell into the Yellow River and were washed away, or died under the sword of Qin soldiers.
At this time, the soldiers of the Qin Army were all dyed red with blood, and their white cloaks turned bright red. Thick blood was dripping on everyone's faces, and they were killing the last more than a hundred tiger and leopard riders.
Kill them all.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
At this critical moment, countless arrows were shot from the center of the Yellow River. A huge ship came from the upper reaches in the wind and waves. The arrows fell on the melee crowd on the shore, and a large piece of them fell immediately.
The unobstructed cavalry from both sides immediately stopped fighting, looked for places to take cover, and dispersed, leaving only corpses on the ground and a river bank stained with blood.
While Wang Shuang was fighting, he suddenly saw a large ship coming upstream of the Yellow River. The spectacular sight was something he had never seen before. Even Cao Xiu, the two of them stopped fighting and looked at the large ship in the middle of the river in shock.
, couldn’t help but sigh at the same time: “What a big boat!”
After sighing, the two people glared at each other, then hurriedly separated and hid in different places.
In the middle of the Yellow River, there is indeed a big ship. The whole body of the big ship is painted with vermilion paint, which looks bright red and purple under the rays of the sun. The big ship is as high as five or six stories high, and there is a huge wheel on the side of the big ship.
There are many grooves on the wheels as they rotate, scooping up water from the Yellow River and slowly pushing the ship forward.
On the mast of the big ship, a big flag with the word "Yan" in gold letters on a black background fluttered in the wind. The top of the big ship was covered with archers of the Yan army. A tiger general was wearing a chain armor, carrying a bow and arrows, and a steel helmet with a
There were several bird feathers hanging on the wrists and waists. Blowing by the wind, the bells made a melodious sound that spread from the center of the river to all sides.
"Fire the arrow!"
The tiger general raised his arm, the bells kept ringing, and with his shout, countless arrows were shot towards the shore.
After the archers shot four or five arrows in a row, no one on the entire shore dared to get closer. At this time, the tiger general picked up a small cyan flag and waved it a few times at a high place. Only one man with the same
The huge fleet of ships was slowly coming from upstream, and the first big ship was docking.
The tiger general glanced at the shore and saw the surrounding grass or rocks and a figure floating behind the hillside. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I am Gan Ning, the Pingnan general under the command of Yanhou, leading the Yan army.
One hundred thousand people are crossing the river, and all the idlers should move away, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
The roar of the wind, like the roar of thunder, reached the ears of everyone hiding in the dark on the shore. Together with the massive fleet, it shocked everyone's heart.
Behind the hillside, Cao Xiu watched the Yan army landing, and then glanced at the Qin army hiding on the opposite side, and thought to himself: "The Yan army has indeed landed from here. I didn't expect it to be such a large formation.
Ships, I have never seen them before. How did the Yan army build such a huge ship, and there was no canvas raised on the ship, could it just rely on the two big wheels on both sides of the ship?"
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xiu still couldn't figure out the reason. He saw that the Yan army had already boarded the shore and was gathering on the shore. The big ship was docked in the middle of the water some distance away from the shore. There were many archers on the top of the ship.
He didn't relax at all, he drew his bow and arrow, and shot at anyone who showed his head.
"It is no longer possible to stop the Yan army from landing. I was attacked by the Qin army again. The only thing I can do now is to retreat, return to Guandu to apologize to the king, and tell the king the news of the Yan army crossing the river!"
When he thought of this, Cao Xiu immediately blew a secret whistle. Once the secret whistle was blown, the remaining more than a hundred tiger and leopard riders retreated one after another.
Opposite the hiding place of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Wang watched with wide eyes as Cao Xiu and the remaining more than a hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left. He felt that the duck in his mouth flew away again. But he did not dare to come out openly, facing the sudden
When the Yan army arrived, he felt pressure he had never experienced before.
He only brought 500 cavalry with him. After a fierce battle with the Wei army, there were still more than 380 cavalry left. The number of the Yan army was far more than ten times higher than theirs. Plus the Yan army
The arrow formation was so powerful that they did not dare to show their heads. If they did, they would die.
When Wang Shuang was in Guanzhong, he had heard about the power of the Yan army. They swept across the north and drove away the barbarians. They were invincible. But he never had the chance to see it with his own eyes. Today he saw with his own eyes the formation of the Yan army that landed ashore.
He was shocked and couldn't help but admire Gao Fei in his heart.
"Our army has never fought with the Yan army. I wonder how our army compares to the Yan army? It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The Yan army is powerful and should be avoided. You should also report this matter to the king and ask the king to make a decision. Look.
Come, the Yan army is coming in great force, not just to meet the emperor..."
After Wang Shuang finished thinking about it, he immediately left here quietly with his subordinates. After walking about a mile, he started galloping towards Hulao Pass.
Cao Xiu and Wang Shuang were gone, and there was silence along the Yellow River in Juan County. After the Yan army landed, they quickly processed the corpses left behind, collecting weapons, horses, armor, money, and collectively incinerated the corpses.
After the processing was completed, Gan Ning led his men who had landed on the shore and began to clean up the shore. However, he did not set up camp here. Instead, he sent out sentries. He led the cavalry forward for almost ten miles and chose a relatively open area.
The camp was set up in this place.
In the evening, Gan Ning had made all the preparations and set up a front army camp. As for the camp behind, other generals had to do it.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sun shines on the Yellow River. A large golden ship slowly sails from the upper reaches. On the top floor of the ship, Gao Fei is wearing a five-flowered war robe, lined with dragon scale armor, and wearing a
Wearing a golden helmet and a lion jade belt around his waist, he looked extremely noble and majestic.
Next to Gao Fei, there were four people, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu You, and Sima Lang. They were all dressed in civil official attire, standing by Gao Fei's side, ready to listen to his orders.
"My lord, the five tiger generals have set up their camps according to my lord's instructions. They extend from the shore and stretch for ten miles. Every 20,000 people are stationed together. Gan Ning, the vanguard at the front, has prepared all defenses.
A large camp goes down every two miles, relying on each other and becoming one with each other." Secretary Chen Lin walked up, came to Gao Fei's side, bowed and worshiped.
"Very good. Gan Ning was the first to make this successful landing. Kong Zhang, write it down in your merit book, and then give another reward when you return."
Chen Lin said: "No!"
Since Gao Fei became king, he has evenly distributed all military and political power and let his subordinates do things. He takes a break from his busy schedule and only makes important decisions. He no longer does it himself as before.
In a sense, Gao Fei recruited many powerful generals and counselors, but rarely used them, thus neglecting their importance. Therefore, after he had his daughter, he made a decision
, be a listener, develop the potential of his subordinates, let them think of solutions, he only needs to make one decision.
In fact, since the last pre-war military meeting, he had already seen some clues and asked everyone to express their opinions. He was just a spectator. This change may take a long time in the future. So, he
