"General, I do not agree with this resolution. As the general said, there are more than ten thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of people in the city. Has the general ever thought about what the people in the city will do once our army is defeated? What will the people in other counties and villages do?
What should we do?" Cheng Yi said excitedly. As a veteran general who has followed Jia Rong for many years, he still has a certain say in the army, although his position as battalion general was gained through many years.
"General Cheng, the two armies have not yet fought, and the outcome is unknown. Generals, have you ever thought about how much advantage our army will gain if we win this battle? On the Jingzhou battlefield, General Huang is attacking Jiangling.
And Cao Jun is the spiritual pillar of the Jingzhou Army. Once Cao Jun collapses, their morale will definitely be affected, and they will become timid before fighting." Zhao Yun said: "I will never force anyone who holds objections."
Zhao Yun is a former general of the Liang Kingdom. His position is extremely prominent among military generals. He has been deeply trusted by Jia Rong for many years. This alone is worthy of many generals following him.
Cheng Yi and three battalion generals were left behind in the city, while Zhao Yun led 10,000 troops out of the city to prepare for a decisive battle with Cao's army.
There were no clouds in the sky and the scorching sun was shining in the sky. Cao Zhen was extremely excited. If the Xiliang army huddled in the city, it would be extremely difficult for them to attack Hanoi County. They had to be careful at all times to be on guard against reinforcements from Luoyang. However, Zhao Yun chose to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
The number of the two sides is one to five. If this battle cannot be won, Cao Zhen will directly hit the wall of Hanoi County and die.
Guo Huai reminded: "Zhao Yun is Jia Rong's trusted general. He has fought in all directions for many years, made great achievements, and served as a former general. He must have a certain degree of confidence when he leaves the city. General, be careful."
Cao Zhen suddenly woke up. Fighting depends not only on the number of soldiers, but also on the eliteness and morale of the soldiers. In terms of morale, Cao Zhen obviously did not have the upper hand. The same goes for the eliteness. The only advantage is the large number of people.
Compared to five, it’s still a wild battle.
"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?" Cao Zhen turned his attention to Liu Ye.
"This is the best time to defeat the Xiliang Army. If Zhao Yun can be defeated, Hanoi County will be at your fingertips. When facing the Xiliang Army, our army will turn from a disadvantage to an advantage. After all, Luoyang is the capital of the Liang Kingdom.
As long as the army approaches Luoyang, the Liang Kingdom will definitely be shaken, and the general will become one of the most famous generals in the world." Liu Ye obviously supported this war. If he failed, he would have to go back and start over again, but once he won, it would be of great significance.
Cao Zhen invested 45,000 troops.
The flag covered the sky and the sun. Zhao Yun rode his horse and stood under the flag with an indifferent expression, constantly listening to the latest news from the lookout soldiers from the front.
"There are about more than 40,000 people, and it is Cao Zhen who is going to fight. It seems that Cao's army is preparing to complete its victory in one battle." Zhao Yun took off the telescope and said slowly.
"I ordered Gao Shun's 800 heavy infantry as the vanguard to directly tear apart the opponent's camp and beat them hard so that Cao Jun could see the majesty of Liang's soldiers," Zhao Yundao said.
The heavy infantry quickly dispatched and quickly came to the front of the battle formation. In front of them were company ballistas, covered with cowhide. In such a plain battle, the power of company ballistas would be infinitely magnified. Compared with siege warfare,
It is countless times stronger, and it is not difficult to directly penetrate three soldiers in armor.
The moment the heavy infantry appeared, Cao Zhen immediately sent soldiers with the same uniforms forward. There were about a thousand soldiers, and they were all covered in armor. This shows that Cao Cao had planned the attack on Hanoi County for a long time.
The camps on both sides are constantly advancing, especially with sharp weapons like the crossbow chariot in their hands. The Xiliang army is advancing at a turtle speed.
Cao Jun's front camp suddenly dispersed, and a huge weapon appeared in front of the battle formation.
Having entered the firing range of the company, the officer commanding the company did not hesitate to issue the order to attack. At the same time, Cao's army also fired crossbow arrows that stunned the Xiliang army. The dense crossbow arrows continued to wreak havoc.
, the soldiers' wails of pain were constantly heard in both camps. The heavy infantry in front bore the brunt. Their elite armor blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows, but the powerful impact from the crossbow arrows brought them out of the old city.
Yuan, after standing up, found that the armor on his body was also dented, and the soldier's face was pale.
"Liannu chariot?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise. His plan was to defeat the opponent's front-wheel drive with the continuous ballista chariot, and then advance forward with the advantage of heavy infantry. He could easily disintegrate Cao Jun's front camp, but now it seems that is not the case.
So simple.
The heavy infantry lost about three hundred people under the crossbows. This was an unprecedented huge loss. Gao Shun, who was hidden among the soldiers, also trembled slightly at the corners of his mouth, clenched his fists, and gave an order, and the heavy infantry moved as fast as possible.
They completed the assembly at a very fast speed, and continued to attack Cao Jun with neat steps.
Eighty-eight of the crossbow vehicles on both sides were damaged and could no longer be put into use. The current mode of fighting was a close-quarters battle. The time for the real test of the soldiers had arrived.
After countless drills, the heavy infantry has already become accustomed to making changes as soon as Gao Shun orders are given.
More than 400 heavy infantrymen killed Cao Jun's vanguard and turned their horses upside down. The heavy infantrymen who had already taken shelter under Cao Zhen's order faced Gao Shun's heavy infantrymen.
Both sides are heavy infantry. Even if Gao Shun's team cooperates perfectly, it is still difficult to kill a Cao army's heavy infantry. They are also wrapped in armor, so they understand their respective disadvantages.
A surprising scene appeared on the battlefield. When Gao Shun's heavy infantry faced Cao Jun's heavy infantry, they were not afraid of the enemy's swords and guns. They stepped forward directly and threw the enemy to the ground. There were heavy infantry behind them who hurriedly followed.
Come, skillfully peel off the armor of Cao's army, and then slaughter them. Not only Cao's army, but also the Xiliang army did not adapt to this fighting method for a while. Is this a war?
A thousand cavalry appeared in Cao Jun's field of vision. This was also the factor that Cao Zhen was most worried about. On the battlefield, cavalry was the king who controlled the situation. Infantry had an instinctive fear against cavalry. The Xiliang army had the most cavalry, and Zhao Yun was
The general in the army must have it in his hands. Cao Zhen had factored this into the battle before.
Three thousand infantrymen appeared. They were not afraid of death and faced the cavalry. They did not want to kill the enemy, but only wanted to resist the enemy. Cao Zhen's order was very simple. Even if all the soldiers were sacrificed, they must stop the Xiliang army's cavalry.
There are only two thousand soldiers beside Zhao Yun. All other troops have been put into the battlefield. Even the female soldiers entered the battlefield after the cavalry.
Cao's army was large in number and well-prepared. Against the Xiliang army, they did not lose at all. There were infantry entangled with the cavalry. The balance of victory seemed to be tilting in the direction of Cao's army.
A smile appeared on Cao Zhen's lips. So far in the battle, Cao Jun has firmly gained the upper hand. If there are no accidents, the winner this time will be Cao Jun.
"General, Zhao Yun has two thousand soldiers beside him, and one thousand of them are cavalry. They should not be underestimated." Guo Huai reminded hurriedly.
"Well, Zhao Yun has a back-up, how could our army not have the same? The five hundred cavalry were prepared for him. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are no less powerful than the ordinary Xiliang Army cavalry. Our army still has ten thousand soldiers and horses.
, has not dispatched, do you think the Xiliang army still has hope of victory?" Cao Zhen asked.
From Zhao Yun's face, there is no trace of fear. It seems that the development of the war to the current situation is all expected. Cao Cao's army is not only large in number. How can it be that Cao Cao sends him to the battlefield in Hanoi County?
Ordinary soldiers.
On the city wall, Cheng Yi watched the war outside the city nervously. Two thousand soldiers in the city were already waiting on the city wall, and the city gate was ready to be opened at any time. Zhao Yun was a popular man in front of the Holy Emperor and could not make any mistakes.
Zhao Yu continued to command the female soldiers in his hands. These female soldiers had experienced too few battles. Especially in such large-scale battles, it was difficult to support their own soldiers. Even after the order was issued, Zhao Yu could still
Find fear on their faces.
The war drums were still rumbling. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army could not find a single deserter. The enemy was powerful and they were not afraid.
The same is true for generals. As Zhao Yun said, when they joined the army, they were already prepared to sacrifice on the battlefield. It is not an honor for a general to die vigorously on the battlefield. It will definitely be written on the hero monument.
There are stories about them.
"Kill!" On the battlefield, powerful roars were heard constantly. Facing an enemy several times their own, they would not make any retreat, even if one step forward would mean death.
The tenacity of the Xiliang Army exceeded Cao Zhen's expectations. He originally thought that when the situation became suppressed, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army would flee. Not only Cao Zhen, but all the princes ignored this. They had fought with the Xiliang Army before.
When encountering, the war is always quick and decisive. Whenever the Xiliang army gains an advantage, there will immediately be a situation where the enemy flees and becomes out of control.
"General, if this continues, there will probably be heavy casualties." Guo Huai said worriedly.
"Send an order for Le Jin to lead five thousand soldiers to completely defeat the Xiliang army."
"promise."
The addition of five thousand soldiers made the officers and soldiers of the Xiliang Army feel unprecedented pressure. Many injured soldiers knew that there was no hope of survival, so they directly threw their injured bodies at the enemy's swords and guns to win opportunities for Paoze. There continued to be tragic stories.
One scene.
These soldiers are worthy of praise. They defended the dignity of the Xiliang Army with their lives.
Seeing that the Xiliang army had been completely suppressed, Zhao Yun still did not move, but the spear he held tightly in his hand showed that his heart was not as stable as it seemed.
The Xiliang army once again showed their tenacity to Cao's army. If it were any other prince's team, they would probably have fled directly in the face of such a battle.
Even the soldiers of Cao's army had to admire the Xiliang army in front of them. They used their flesh and blood to block swords and guns, which they could not imagine. Could it be that all the Xiliang army were dead soldiers? Cao Zhenzhen had some doubts.
