Seven hundred and twentieth chapters master tricks
The thunderous killing sounds entered the commander's tent from far to near. The shouts of killing were not clear at first, but gradually became as if they were right in front of them. The faint light of fire was also looming outside the tent.
Xiahou has led troops for many years, so he naturally knows how powerful this is.
"Someone is hijacking the camp!" Xiahou suddenly stood up and said in surprise.
When he finished speaking, the curtain of Xiahou's tent was opened, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong strode in!
"Yuan Rang, Tao Shang actually sent people to attack the camp!" Cao Ren said with a serious look on his face: "This kid's moves are really unpredictable. In this situation, instead of attacking Jizhou, he will
Coming to beat us, wouldn’t it be an act of sacrificing one’s roots to seek the end?”
Xia Hou gritted his teeth and said: "This is exactly the cunning and cunning nature of the potter's thieves... It is really hard for people to guard against it. Zixiao, how many soldiers and horses have come from the Jinling Army?"
Cao Ren shook his head and said: "The Jinling Army is all over the mountains and plains. I can't tell how many there are specifically, but the enemy troops should come in several groups. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jinling Army must be out in full force!"
"Coming in full force... It seems that this time the pottery merchant completely ignored whether Yuan Shao would sneak up on him." Xiahou turned around and took the war gun on the shelf, and rushed out with Cao Ren and Cao Hong...
The fact is just as Cao Ren guessed, Tao Shang did not hold back this time, and almost all the main troops under his command were dispatched. Xu Chu was the vanguard, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Sun Guan, Xian Yu Dan, Song Qian, and Jia Hua.
After Xu Zhong and others joined forces, they attacked Cao Ying on several fronts.
The person responsible for the defense in the camp was Cao's general Cao Xiu. Although he was also very capable, facing the Jinling Army's tiger and wolf divisions and Tao Shang's proper layout, the entire camp quickly fell into a passive position.
The Jinling Army found several breakthroughs on the south, south, north and south sides.
Seeing countless Jinling troops rushing into the camp, no matter how Cao Xiu commanded, the front line had been broken through by the Jinling troops, leaving no room for maneuver and making it difficult to restore the decline.
"Yuan Rang, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's organize our troops to evacuate this place quickly, but we can't fight head-on with Jin's leader. It's not easy for Meng De to accumulate all this wealth. We must not let you and I lose everything!"
Cao Ren is the most adept at fighting among the clan generals under Cao Cao, and the one who can see the situation clearly. Without Yuan Shao's indirect restraint, it is almost impossible for our side to defeat the main force of the pottery merchants.
But Xiahou was not as good as Cao Ren in this regard, and he became stubborn at the critical moment.
"No! Meng De has entrusted you and me with important things. If we just leave like this, wouldn't we be letting him down? If the people in the stronghold remain, the people in the stronghold will perish!"
After saying that, he got on his horse, led a group of soldiers, and rushed towards the front stronghold.
Cao Ren sighed, and although he was annoyed, he could not ignore Xiahou, so he also called for his troops and followed Xiahou in pursuit.
Xiahou personally went into battle and led his personal guards to rush to the front line under the leadership of Cao Xiu.
The three armies, led by Xia Hou, greeted the main force of Jinling and left.
Xiahou held a long spear and fought fiercely in the Jinling army's formation. He was unstoppable and showed the demeanor of a good general.
In the rear formation of the Jinling Army, there is a strong crossbowmen, which is advancing little by little into the depths of Cao's camp. Each of these crossbowmen is holding a sophisticated Jinling crossbow. In front of the formation, there is a battalion of well-equipped Pu Dao soldiers.
The shield soldiers escorted them, and those Jinling crossbow soldiers were skillful in shooting the enemies. Their tactics were smooth and they seemed to have a great understanding of each other.
Unlike the repeated crossbow battalion led by Gan Ning, even if they were holding repeated crossbows, the crossbowmen did not fire randomly. Under the command of their commander, they maintained a very high shooting efficiency and rhythm, and almost every arrow was fired.
Go short.
This special Jinling crossbow soldier was specially trained by Qu Yi.
In the battle of Jiangxia, Qu Yi was eager to make meritorious service, but was defeated by Huang Zhong. Later, he was advised by Tao Shang, and he felt ashamed and put away his pride.
He rarely went into battle in recent years, but relied on his experience in training early soldiers in Hebei to train an elite crossbowmen for the pottery merchants.
The crossbowmen trained by Qu Yi, coupled with the excellence of Jinling's company of crossbows, made this powerful company of crossbowmen more powerful than the company of crossbowmen led by Gan Ning.
This time to attack Cao Jun's camp, this company of crossbowmen trained by Qu Yi went into battle together with the infantry, and the commander-in-chief Qu Yi also stepped onto the battlefield again after a long absence.
This ace crossbow army, combined with simple swords and shield soldiers, reached the depths of Xiahou's camp at a regular but not slow speed.
Soon, they met Xiahou's personal guards.
The personal guards under Xiahou were composed of infantry and cavalry. They had a wide variety of weapons in their hands. They had their own set of tactics for cooperative operations between the arms and were quite powerful.
The closer Qu Yi got to Xiahou, he narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the opponent's tactics.
After watching it for a while, Qu Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"Good job, that general is Xiahou, right?" Qu Yi saw the flag behind Xiahou and asked.
Someone who knew him immediately said to Qu Yi, "Yes, this person is Xia Hou."
Qu Yi narrowed his eyes and said to the messenger behind him: "Line up!" "Line up!"
Following the shouts of the messengers, the Jinling Company Crossbow Battalion coordinated with the Pu Dao soldiers and shield soldiers to prepare for battle and move into position to form a formation.
Qu Yi's movement caught Xiahou's attention. He quickly turned his head and narrowed his eyes to carefully observe the opponent's formation.
After a while, Xia Hou showed a look of astonishment on his face. "That's right!"
Following Qu Yi's cry, the soldiers of the Liennu Battalion raised their crossbows one after another, pointing their cold arrows at the Xiahou group.
Xiahou took a breath of cold air and hurriedly ordered the messenger behind him: "Make a turtle formation!"
The messenger hurriedly said: "Guard!"
Then they saw the large shield soldiers running forward one after another, wrapping Xia Hou and others tightly in the shield array. "Arrow!" Over there, the messengers of the Qu Yi Army fired arrows one after another.
For a moment, powerful crossbows were fired at the Xiahou group.
Although the defensive formation of the shield blocked most of the repeating crossbows, there were still some missed areas that were penetrated by the repeating crossbows. Many Cao Jun soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Those who died were fine, but those who did not died were just
Can make wailing sounds in pain.
After a wave of repeated crossbows, Xiahou closed his eyes and roughly counted the frequency, shook his head and said: "No, the Jinling repeated crossbow has ten arrows per round. Judging from the time period and arrow frequency just now, there are only nine rounds, and the opponent still has
If you have a back-up plan, don’t let your guard down!”
When Xiahou's words fell on the ears of the deputy general behind him, his whole body felt numb, and his heart was filled with shock and fear.
What kind of ears do they have to be able to hear that the opponent is still missing one round of arrows when thousands of arrows are fired?
I didn't notice anything myself.
Qu Yi's crossbow battalion had been holding the crossbow machine, and only waited for the tortoise shell array on the opposite side to fall before ordering the last round to be put down.
But it was obvious that the opponent had no intention of changing their position.
Qu Yi narrowed his eyes: "He has some skills, he seems to be a master."
