There were changes on Cao Cao's side, and Zhao Yun, who was also the commander-in-chief, could certainly notice the detailed changes on the battlefield, and he could see them much more clearly than Cao Cao's side.
Putting down the large telescope in his hands, Zhao Yun and Xi Zhicai looked at each other.
"Cao Cao is quite alert!" Zhao Yun sighed.
"Yes, I deliberately left the cavalry and heavy armored cavalry behind to prepare for a fatal blow at the critical moment. I didn't expect that Cao Cao would be so careful and leave at the first touch!" Xi Zhicai also felt it was a pity.
The order given by Wang Xuan was to beat Cao Cao hard. It seemed that this task could not be completed perfectly.
There is nothing wrong with hurting Cao Cao, but Cao Cao, whose losses were not particularly big, had Xuzhou as his support and could rise again soon, which was not in line with the plan.
If Cao Cao's strength weakens significantly, the process of internally competing with the aristocratic families for the right to speak will be even longer. Even if these aristocratic families support Cao Cao for hundreds of years, they are not their own sons. Who would really go to such lengths to risk their entire family and fortune?
It would be good to give up some of the benefits. After all, what they invest in Cao Cao is to bring development to their family, not just for the cause of unification. At least Master Kong is not...
The battlefield of 100,000 people stretched for more than ten miles. Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, and Zhao Yun and the others had no choice but to maximize their own victory.
After giving an order, Huang Zhong led two thousand cavalry to circle up from the left, trying to cut off the escape route of Cao's left wing and force the opponent to surrender.
Zhang Xiu led another two thousand cavalrymen up from the right, with the same purpose.
Hua Xiong, on the other hand, led a thousand heavily armored cavalry to slowly approach the frontal battlefield, giving Cao's army the heaviest blow and knocking off their last bit of morale.
The drums that had been ringing on the battlefield in the middle suddenly changed. Everyone in Liu Beijun understood what the drums meant. The heavy armored cavalry was ready to charge!
The soldiers in the middle rushed toward both sides like a split tide, and a small number of red-eyed soldiers were awakened by their comrades and quickly evaded to both sides.
Once the heavy armored cavalry starts charging, it is difficult to stop. At this time, even if your own family members are in front of you, you will never stop. Then you can only blame yourself for the problem.
Although small groups of Danyang veterans formed a square formation vigilantly, they were still defeated by Liu Bei's soldiers mixed with heavy armored infantry. The main reason was that the heavy armored infantry was too resistant to beating, except for the two layers at the neck.
Apart from the fact that the mail armor was relatively weak, he only happened to be hit on the side of the helmet and was completely knocked unconscious by the echo.
If neither of these two things can be done, then one has to either knock the heavy armored infantry down and make it difficult for him to stand up, or wait until he is tired of killing and can no longer run.
The 10,000 Danyang old soldiers are considered to be the most tactically sophisticated troops in this era. Special troops such as those trapped in the camp are not included. The number is too low, but there is still no way to deal with this sudden situation.
The man who was being killed retreated step by step and suffered heavy losses. Suddenly, he felt the pressure clear. After all, he was on the front line of the battlefield. He clearly felt that the number of Liu Bei's troops was decreasing and they were retreating to both sides.
what's the situation?
The reason why Danyang soldiers are so powerful is that they have been serving as soldiers for generations and have extremely rich experience passed down by word of mouth. At this time, although they did not know why, they were keenly aware of something bad, and the feeling of death was suddenly approaching.
Alerted, he began to retreat towards both sides, but his reaction was too slow after all!
"Boom, boom, boom..." The heavy sound of horse hooves came. I had never heard such a heavy sound of horse hooves before. Looking up, I saw a giant beast whose whole body was wrapped in steel, charging directly towards me.
Wherever the heavy armored cavalry passed, apart from the blood mist that lingered in the air, there was only the muddy ground that was mixed with blood.
Seeing the tragic situation, the entire battlefield fell into silence for a while. Most of Liu Bei's soldiers, including Liu Bei's soldiers, saw the power of heavy armored cavalry for the first time.
The enhanced version of the war horse is equipped with heavier armor and is really a tank on the cold weapon battlefield.
Others were stunned, but not the men with loudspeakers who were prepared, "Listen to the gangsters in front, you have been surrounded by our army, you have the right to remain silent...ah, kneeling down and surrendering is the only thing you can do."
way out, our army treats prisoners preferentially!"
As these professional loud-voiced words of persuasion to surrender rang out, ordinary soldiers also reacted.
"Kneel down and surrender, surrender without killing!"
"Kneel down and surrender, surrender without killing!"
"Kneel down and surrender, surrender without killing!"
They roared and drove forward to force the prisoners to surrender.
The battle didn't take long from start to finish, just two hours, but the first and last work such as surrendering the prisoners took a lot of time, and it was already late at night when everything was done.
The 20,000 Cao troops in the central army received special care. Although Danyang old soldiers came up to take over, only five or six thousand people escaped. Most of the others died. Including the Danyang old soldiers who rushed up from behind, there were only more than 10,000 people left.
.
As for the 40,000 Xuzhou soldiers on the left and right sides, it may be an exaggeration to say that they collapsed at the first touch, but the speed of surrender was really fast. As soon as the cavalry came up, they immediately knelt down obediently. Judging from the number of movements, it seemed that they had been trained
generally.
There is a reason for this. Tao Qian and Liu Bei had a good relationship before, and Xuzhou and Qingzhou had the most frequent exchanges. Even if the Mi family's family defected to Liu Bei, other Xuzhou families also had frequent business contacts with Qingzhou.
Because of Qingzhou's purchase of grain and grass, a lot of Xuzhou soldiers' grain and grass were exchanged for old grain and traded to Qingzhou. When Qingzhou purchased grain, they were strict about the price of old grain and the price of new grain.
So, defective products are sold in the country... ah, they are sold in the state, and the good quality is exported. I don’t know how long Xuzhou Bing scolded me for this. Of course, I said in my heart that I don’t envy it. It’s a lie, although I heard that there
Military training is extremely tough, but the pay is good!
Don't think that there are no poor people in Xuzhou because of its prosperity. Poor people are everywhere. There are more homeless people in the United States than in China.
Most of Xuzhou's 40,000-strong army surrendered, with only five to six thousand casualties.
There was no way, Liu Beijun was so professional in killing people, he was really trained for a long time, and with a lot of chirping, it didn't take long to beat the Xuzhou army and make them run away in confusion.
That's why when the cry of surrender without killing appeared, the surrender speed was so fast.
…
Not to mention Liu Bei's army, Cao Cao's army had an army of 90,000. After a battle, only more than 20,000 people could escape and a total of about 70,000 people were thrown in without even a splash. Not only Cao Cao and
Under his command, the entire Xuzhou Family's senior management who came to watch the battle from afar also collectively lost their voices.
It's too awful!
It’s so miserable that it’s unbelievable!
I can't believe this is such a result, 90,000 people beat 30,000 people, it's going to collapse at the first touch!
What does this mean?
This means that in front of Liu Bei's army, Cao Jun, including Xuzhou, is like a mantis mantis!
