When the blazing fire rose from the fog, even though the fog was filled, the remaining two iron rope camps could be seen. They hurriedly ordered the sergeants to place the archers behind the antlers, and sent soldiers to report the news to Puyang.
At this time, Yang Feng woke up and was wearing a robe and drinking rice in the hall. Hearing the news that the Han army was attacking the camp, he couldn't help being shocked. He quickly summoned his generals and said to them: "The matter is urgent! It turns out that the thieves are here.
River lock! Once the river lock is broken, the river will be opened. When the bandits attack along the river, Yanzhou will be in danger of overthrowing! Quickly mobilize troops! At least one river lock must be preserved!"
All the generals also knew that this matter was important and did not dare to hesitate. However, some people still had doubts about bringing out all the soldiers in the city and asked Yang Feng: "Are some soldiers left to defend the city?" Yang Feng replied
: "The thieves have been cheating before, so they must have few soldiers, but if they dare to attack Heying, they must have a lot of soldiers. I hope the enemy will be lenient! Besides, if we lose Heying, can we still defend Puyang?"
I don’t dare anyone to criticize me again.
When they led the army out of the city, Yang Feng received another military report. It was said that the second river camp was also attacked by the Han army, and the river lock was also broken. They were about to attack the last river camp. Yang Feng was surprised when he heard this: "
What a speed!" So he ordered the entire army to march eastward at full speed.
The footsteps of 40,000 soldiers thundered, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, which could not be covered up at all. Only two moments after they left the city, Cao Cao's scouts received the news. At this time, the sky was already white, but there was no sun yet, and the sky and the earth were still dark.
There was a slight mist floating around, but one could already see through a hundred feet away. Cao Cao looked at the third river camp in the distance, and the generals behind him were waiting for his orders.
Army Sima Li Qian stepped forward and asked: "Ming Gong, what should we do next? Is this camp still to be attacked?" The previous attack on the second camp was well prepared, so Cao's army did not go as smoothly as the first attack on Heying.
Fortunately, there was still heavy fog to cover it, and it was finally conquered with more than 300 casualties. But at this time, most of the fog had dissipated, and the fences of the river camp were full of people. It was obvious that they were fully prepared.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said to his men: "I smell it, their army is coming. Now that the bandit camp is ready, a hard attack is not the best strategy, but it will easily be flanked by the enemy. The top priority is
We need to find a good place and wait for them to commit suicide!"
Hearing this, the accompanying military advisor Ji Xi Zhong also nodded and said with a smile: "What Ming Gong said is absolutely true. If you want to completely wipe out the bandit army, you really have to find a good place. I already have a place in mind?"
"Where?"
"The gourd is north of the river, south of the river, and at the mouth of the river."
"Okay! What Zhicai said is very much what I want!"
So the cavalry bypassed the camp and headed west. They saw a surging river, and the Huzi River turned south from here. Between the meanders of the river, there was a vast expanse of reeds. Where the people and horses passed, sparrows started to fly. Cao Cao sighed: "It's such a good place to fight.
"The terrain here is narrow, and there are rivers blocking both places, so the enemy cannot outflank it, so Cao Cao said this.
At this time, someone asked: "If we take a detour here, can General Cao Ren make it in time?"
Cao Cao replied: "It's foggy today. Zixiao and the others can't see the fire, so they will definitely be late." But he then sneered and said: "But what is the Black Mountain Army? A bunch of chickens and dogs. Five thousand people are too many!"<
/p>
Finally, Cheng Yu suggested to Cao Cao: "Ambush the soldiers among the reeds to show the thieves weakness, lure them deep, and then attack together."
The plan was decided, and it was agreed that the drums would sound as a trumpet. Cao Ang led more than a hundred knights and selected the knights who dared to die, raised their flags to say goodbye to everyone, and left. The soldiers lined up among the reeds, waiting for the arrival of the Black Mountain Army.
It was already midnight, and there was still the last layer of mist between heaven and earth. The sky was covered with clouds, and thunder gradually sounded. Forty thousand Montenegrin troops slowly appeared in sight from east to west. They were dressed in black.
The black armor and dense crowd seemed like dark clouds on the ground.
Yang Feng and his subordinates observed the enemy's situation. When they saw this, they stroked their beards and said with a smile: "The enemy troops are mostly cavalry, but this place is surrounded by water on three sides. It is like living in a cage! I will win this battle!" After that, he
Let your subordinates rest for a while, and then order the charge.
The Black Mountain Army straddles the east and west of the Taihang Mountains, and horses are naturally indispensable. Zhang Yan is famous all over the world, and he relies on the Black Mountain Horse. Therefore, it is the Black Mountain Cavalry that is charging at the forefront. Cao Cao followed the previous strategy and took the defensive first, letting the Black Mountain Cavalry
Before the cavalry reached the central army, they ordered their subordinates to fight back. For a time, crossbow arrows rained down, and the battle was fierce.
The Black Mountain cavalry were very good at riding and shooting, so each one of them was an archer on horseback. They took turns changing horses and firing arrows in front of Cao Cao's formation, like heavy rain. Cao Cao saw that the opponent's infantry had not yet fully entered the battle line, so he let them go.
Archery. No matter how tough a warrior is, he cannot withstand such a situation where he only defends but does not attack. For a while, the front line became looser.
The leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry was Army Sima Zhang Baiqi. He was keenly aware of this, and then personally led his elite troops into the formation. These elite cavalry and armored cavalry were all tall horses over eight feet tall, each with long legs and strong muscles.
They suddenly rose up in groups of three and two, connected by ropes. The knights on horseback, all wearing thick armor masks and carrying long spears, rushed straight towards Cao Jun without caring about life or death.
The Black Mountain Army gathered all the strength of the army, but they only had a hundred elite cavalry. At this time, the iron beast ran wildly, seemingly full of anger, and entered the formation in an instant. The cavalry behind followed the gap and rushed into the formation, slashing left and right, and Cao Jun
Blade battle. The situation of the central army was precarious for a while. The personal guards supported Cao Cao and retreated. However, there were many elite troops here, and they only used their strength temporarily to lure the enemy back. Therefore, they were not defeated even though they were at a disadvantage. Cao Cao's trusted generals
For example, Dian Wei, Qin Shao and others all held long swords and fought with the Black Mountain Army on horseback. Although flesh and blood flew everywhere, no one could hurt Cao Cao.
When he saw that the Montenegrin cavalry was about to penetrate the central army, Cao Cao stood on a small hill and looked at the situation in the distance, and found that he had finally arrived at the moment he wanted: most of the Montenegrin army had already entered the scope of the double-team! He
He shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Drumming! Drumming!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The rapid sound of drums suddenly sounded like thunder above the river mouth, and the thunderclouds in the sky also responded. A lightning flashed between the clouds, and then echoed with the sound of rolling thunder like waves. Everyone on the battlefield was shocked.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw soldiers suddenly rising from the reeds, riding towards them on horseback.
But what was even more fatal was Zhang Baiqi, who was in the front line. When he was almost piercing through the middle of Cao's army, Cao Ang immediately led two hundred cavalry to launch a sudden counterattack. This was all done by Cao Cao since he raised his army.
In the battle formation, more than one knight out of a hundred. In his riding and shooting skills, one is as good as ten. He is extraordinary and has the power of a tiger and a leopard, so he was named the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry by Cao Cao.
As the two sides were approaching, the tiger and leopard cavalry took out three arrows from their quivers, held two of them with their fingers, took one, strung the bow, and shot. They immediately strung the second arrow and shot it, and then strung the third arrow and shot the two.
Before the horse could get close, three arrows had been fired in succession. Although the shooting method was not as good as a thousand riders, it seemed to have the effect of a thousand riders. The arrows dropped by the Black Mountain cavalry were like fallen leaves falling from the horse, and the scene was very spectacular.
.
The tiger and leopard cavalry all wore iron armor, and their horses were also armored. Their bodies were covered with arrows from the Montenegrin cavalry. They rushed to the front, then reined in their horses and trotted to fight with the enemy. They held long swords and thorns.
Stab people when you see them, and stab horses when you see horses. Most of the Black Mountain cavalry are light cavalry, and they are famous for their bow and cavalry shooting. After fighting in close combat with the tiger and leopard cavalry, they suddenly fell over and were defeated.
Seeing this, the people behind them all moved their horses to retreat, but the infantrymen who followed were still rushing forward. As a result, they were all crowded together, and the left and right wings were surrounded by Cao's army. They could neither retreat nor advance.
No. Cao Cao's central army also took advantage of the situation and attacked from behind. Arrows fell like rain on the heads of the Black Mountain Army. With such a dense position, there were immediate casualties.
Zhang Baiqi was extremely anxious when he saw this. He shouted: "Spread out quickly, spread out quickly! Shoot arrows forward and spread out to the left and right!"
But it was too late. At this time, the Montenegrin army had no room to disperse. They could only bump around like a wild boar that fell into a cave. However, the more fierce they struggled, the faster they lost. Sure enough,
, the morale of many soldiers collapsed, and they began to shoot arrows indiscriminately forward and backward, but most of them could not hit Cao's army, but instead shot their comrades around them. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry went one step further, penetrated the entire cavalry army, and entered.
When the infantry came in, the situation became one-sided, and Cao Jun gradually began to massacre.
Liu Shi, who was in the Central Army of Montenegro, saw that the Montenegro Army was in a state of defeat, while the coach Yang Feng behind him had a pale face and seemed helpless. He expected that the battle was lost. Once the battle was defeated, the entire Yanzhou defense line would collapse.
The Black Mountain Army was destroyed in an instant. He ventilated his words to his men: "Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the opportunity to save yourself!" Then he and Souxia took off their armor, put down the military flag, and ran to Cao Cao's army to surrender.
At that time, there were sounds of killing on the battlefield, and the Black Mountain cavalry was still fighting against the trapped beasts. When Yang Feng and others saw Liu Shi and others surrendering, they were heartbroken. They abandoned their infantry and fled towards Mount Tai with their cavalry. p>
At the end of the war, the thunderclouds in the sky finally started to rain, and the generals of the Black Mountain Army, such as Zhang Baiqi, Wu Juqi, Guo Daxian, etc., were all killed in the battle, and their heads were cut off and hung on long silk. Cao Jun said with
At the cost of more than a thousand people, nearly 10,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 people were captured.
After another two quarters of an hour, Cao Ren finally led his troops to the battlefield and saw a terrifying scene: Cao Jun was driving the Wuyangyang prisoners to the river and executing them one by one. The swords were sharp.
They cut off the prisoners' heads and threw their bodies into the river. If the knife failed, they cut off the prisoners' ears, slit their throats, and threw them into the river. Amidst the popping sound, the bloody heads were revealed.
The soldiers and ears were put into cloth bags by Cao Jun. The cloth bags were soaked with rain and blood and exuded a disgusting smell.
When Cao Ren saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao was taking off his helmet and closing his eyes in the rain. His hair and clothes were soaked, but he looked extremely happy. Cao Cao pointed to the river that was already three-thirds scarlet and asked: "Zi Xiao,
What do you think are heroes in ancient times?"
Without waiting for Cao Ren to answer, Cao Cao wiped the blood from his face and said with a smile: "I think that a true hero must have an extraordinary reputation, be very powerful, and do unpredictable things. Then ordinary people will look at him in fear, and see mediocrity and feel humbled."
, the people’s thoughts and fears are disturbed! Wherever your words and deeds go, no one dares to disobey them.”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's smile gradually faded, and finally turned into a look as cold as iron. He said to Yuyun: "From today on, anyone in the world who dares to resist me will raise his troops to kill them!"<
/p>
After Cao's army killed the prisoners, they entered Puyang. There were nearly 60,000 Heishan soldiers in the city, who were also killed by Cao's army. Afterwards, it was calculated that the heads of the soldiers were mutilated, and Cao's army killed nearly 100,000 people before and after.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun led his troops southward and built a Jingguan in Shanyang, Jiyin. The Black Mountain Army had to flee or surrender. Within twenty days, Cao Jun regained the three counties of Jiyin, Shanyang, and Rencheng.
Yanzhou is afraid, and the whole world is shocked.
