The more than three thousand spearmen of the Wei army were domineering and fierce, their spears shining with a cold light under the firelight.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The spear poked at the Shu soldiers one by one, easily piercing the body, and then suddenly retracted, and the Wei soldiers fell to the ground one by one. The casualties of the Wei soldiers made Huang Xu feel sad in his heart, and he kept swinging
With a long knife, I want to carve a way out.
"Crack! Crack!"
The sharp blade passed by, and a spear was cut off by the long knife in Huang Xu's hand.
In terms of martial arts, even if Huang Xu encountered twenty or thirty Wei soldiers, he would be unafraid and confident of killing them all. But what he faced was not stragglers, but spearmen as a group. These
The spearmen formed a square formation. Even if Huang Xu cut off a few spears and killed a few soldiers, it was just a drop in the bucket and had no effect. When one died, new soldiers immediately came to replace the spears.
It was broken, and new spears poked out.
Faced with such a situation, Huang Xu simply couldn't let go.
What's more, Huang Xu is fighting alone. If Gan Ning is beside him and Zhou Tai helps out, the three of them can form a triangle formation to protect each other and lead troops to kill. But a single tree cannot make a forest, and Huang Xu can't do it alone.
The spearmen who might have affected the Wei army had no effect.
"puff!!"
A spear thrust out from the air and suddenly hit the horse under Huang Xu's crotch.
"Xi Yu Yu!!"
The war horse let out a scream and instinctively threw out its hoof, trying to fight back the person who stabbed him.
However, two more spears came next, piercing the neck of the war horse. The spears were pulled out, and blood spurted out from the neck of the war horse. The war horse ran wildly, throwing Huang Xu off the horse. The war horse rushed forward
At the three thousand spearmen, there was a loud bang, and the war horse collided with the Wei soldiers. At this moment, it caused some confusion to the Wei soldiers, but the war horse was also stabbed to death. Huang Xu fell off the horse and failed to organize.
Kill effectively.
However, he quickly stood up and continued to fight.
Huang Xu has strong martial arts and superb swordsmanship, but in the end it was of no use and he couldn't find a way out.
He retreated with his soldiers, but a torrential heat wave came from behind. The scorching hot breath was like being on a stove, very uncomfortable. Huang Xu looked around with his eyes and saw that there were still gaps on the left and right sides. There should be a chance to evacuate immediately.
I was about to give orders to leave from both sides.
However, he also thought that Cao Ren must have an ambush waiting for him to take the bait.
Breaking out from the left and right sides of the camp may be more dangerous.
The only way to get out of the predicament is to hold on and wait for the other soldiers to come to the rescue.
Huang Xu rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are the vanguard sent by Military Advisor Pang. Military Advisor Pang is leading the army behind and will arrive soon. Hold on and keep your spirits up. Reinforcements will be coming soon.
Will arrive."
In fact, what Huang Xu just said is not true.
He said such words in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
Although the soldiers in the army were deceived, as long as they can stabilize the morale of the army and wait until the army arrives, they can do it. With Huang Xu, the panicked soldiers in the army rarely calmed down. The panic of these soldiers became much calmer.
, no longer felt helpless and isolated. Seeing that the morale of the army was slightly stabilized, Huang Xu shouted again: "We must hold on until the army arrives. By then, it will be the end of the Wei army. Immediately form a round formation to greet them with a round formation.
enemy."
At the critical moment, Huang Xu quickly stabilized the morale of the army and organized an effective resistance.
According to Huang Xu's arrangement, the soldiers of the Shu army attacked the Wei army.
Although there were heavy casualties on the battlefield, at least they were not as slaughtered by the Wei army as before. The lethality of the three thousand spearmen was much reduced, and Huang Xu led his soldiers to resist. These Shu troops fought desperately and held back
The pace of the spearmen.
The situation on the battlefield became stalemate.
Tao Mang stood next to Cao Ren and said: "Grand Governor, that Huangkou boy cheered up and did not lead his army to escape. What should we do?"
Cao Ren glanced at Huang Xu's position, with a look of regret on his face.
His original plan was to attack the Shu army with rockets. This was the first wave of attacks prepared by Cao Ren. The purpose was to cause chaos in the Shu army. When the Shu army escaped from the camp, he immediately sent out spearmen to disperse the Shu army arrogantly.
army, forcing the Shu army to flee. No matter whether the Shu army escapes from the left or right side of the military camp, they will fall into the trap set by Cao Ren. As long as Huang Xu leads his army forward, he will be ambushed. Unfortunately, Huang Xu can stand his ground, which makes
Cao Ren was in trouble.
Cao Fei said: "Grand Governor, quickly bring back the troops who laid the ambush, besiege Huang Xu, and deal with Huang Xu first."
Cao Ren nodded and said: "The only thing we can do now is to call back the ambushed soldiers and surround and suppress Huang Xu. However, time is tight. Once the reinforcements led by Pang Tong arrive, it will be difficult for us to destroy Huang Xu. We cannot miss the opportunity."
Tao Mang clasped his fists and said, "Great Governor, I will send someone to deliver the message right now."
Cao Ren took a look at the situation on the battlefield. The camp turned into a sea of fire and was completely engulfed in fire.
Heart-rending screams were still heard in the camp, many soldiers had been burned, and there was even a smell of meat. This smell passed into Cao Ren's nose, but it did not arouse Cao Ren's appetite.
It made Cao Ren feel sick and sad. He was responsible for the deaths of the people, but he had no choice but to do so. The Wei army was at a disadvantage and if he wanted to save the situation, he had no choice but to do whatever it took to attack the Shu army.
Cao Ren ordered: "Order the archers to aim at the Shu army and shoot. Do not use rockets to avoid accidentally injuring your own people."
The Shu army is in a group, not scattered, and can use bows and arrows to attack.
After giving the order, hundreds of archers took long bows, mounted their bows and arrows, aimed at the position of the Shu army, and shot out unhurriedly. Because they could not accidentally hurt their own people, this time they did not shoot randomly, but aimed at the target.
Shoot in the right direction.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Bows and arrows were shot out one after another, crossing a parabola in the fiery red night sky and landing among the Shu soldiers.
This round of shooting killed more than 300 soldiers.
After successive battles, more than half of the 8,000 soldiers around Huang Xu were killed or wounded, leaving only more than 3,000 people. Of the more than 4,000 people who died, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed by bows and arrows, and hundreds died in the sea of fire.
During the battle, more than a thousand people were killed by spears, and the number of soldiers killed by spears was still increasing. The attacks of spears and the shooting of bows and arrows made the newly stable Shu army's formation loose and difficult to unite.
strength, causing the Wei army's offensive to become stronger and stronger.
Huang Xu looked at the approaching Shu army and sighed in his heart.
This battle really resulted in heavy casualties.
All because he underestimated the enemy too much, otherwise the situation in front of him would not have occurred. Faced with the suppression of archers and spearmen, Huang Xu was prepared to be killed. Reinforcements did not come, and the soldiers under his command continued to resist.
The ground is falling and it cannot be sustained for much longer.
The smaller the number of people, the lower the resistance.
Cao Ren looked at the Shu soldiers whose formation collapsed again, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
After capturing Huang Xu and reporting the victory, Cao Cao should be relieved. When Cao Ren was happy, a scout quickly ran to Cao Fei and whispered a few words. Cao Fei's face changed drastically.
, walked to Cao Ren and whispered: "Captain, the reinforcements of the Shu army are coming. Zhang Liao and Pang Tong led the army and approached the camp. If we don't leave, we will definitely fight with the Shu army. Please think twice, Commander."
"hateful!"
Cao Ren cursed secretly, with an angry look on his face.
He finally laid a trap to lure Huang Xu into taking the bait, and was about to win. But just when he was happy, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao appeared again, making Cao Ren very frustrated. No matter how unhappy Cao Ren was, he still had to withdraw, and he couldn't
