Chapter 2729 the enemy cavalry is coming
After the Xiongnu cavalry retreated, Xiahou Yuan led the army to move forward smoothly.
The soldiers who followed Xia Houyuan felt extremely angry at first. They were elites in the army, but they were unable to move forward under such harassment by the enemy. They wanted to speed up and rush into the Huns' cavalry.
The Huns cavalry were defeated, but as time passed, their anger was gradually worn away.
Now that the Xiongnu cavalry was retreating, they were in high spirits. After the news that their own army was retreating reached the army, the expressions of the soldiers who followed Xia Houyuan were full of surprise.
Regarding the situation of the Youzhou Army on the battlefield, the generals in the army have a certain understanding. They really want to imagine what Cao Hong led the army experienced on the battlefield. Even with an absolute advantage in numbers, they still fought for Youzhou.
The defeat of the army may sound incredible, but this thing actually happened.
No matter what thoughts Cao's soldiers have at the moment, what they have to do is rush to Cao Hong's aid and try to avoid causing their own soldiers to suffer greater losses during the retreat.
Dust and smoke billowed in front, and the ground was trembling slightly. The retreating officers and soldiers of Cao's army looked ahead blankly. Many soldiers even stopped walking. A breeze blew by, and they could clearly see the attire of these cavalrymen.
"It's the enemy's cavalry, the Huns' cavalry is coming." One of Cao's soldiers shouted.
Panic spread among the fleeing Cao army. Judging from the momentum of these cavalry charges, there were more cavalry than the cavalry led by Xu Huang just now. Nearly two thousand cavalry came from all over the mountains and plains, while the retreating Cao army soldiers
A huge shock.
The Huns cavalry charged into Cao's army with an unstoppable force. After Yang Feng saw the current situation of Cao's army, he sneered. The enemy retreated. If he wanted to make Cao's army pay a greater price after joining Xia Houyuan, it would be impossible.
It's possible, but he can lead the cavalry to charge into the enemy for a while. If the enemy's resistance is fierce, he can just retreat.
After the fight, Yang Feng discovered that Cao Jun's soldiers were obviously frightened. Many of Cao Jun's soldiers even dropped their weapons when they saw the cavalry charging.
This situation allowed Yang Feng to lead his troops to attack Cao's army, and no one could stop him wherever he went.
Not long after Yang Feng led the cavalry into Cao Jun, Cao Jun's cavalry came. After seeing this scene, the soldiers in the army secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Xu Huang led the army to pursue them in the rear, and there were enemy troops in front.
The appearance of cavalry was the biggest nightmare for the retreating Cao army.
When Yang Feng saw Cao's cavalry approaching, he led the Huns' cavalry and roared away.
After seeing Cao Hong leading the army to join Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang ordered the army to stop the pursuit. Xia Houyuan had a large number of crossbow chariots in his hands. Such a pursuit by the generals would definitely cause considerable losses. In this battle,
They have gained so much that they have made Cao Jun feel afraid. For Xu Huang, this war has achieved the desired result.
"Instruct Yang Feng to lead the cavalry to prevent the enemy from advancing. The other officers and soldiers should be ready for battle." Xu Huang ordered.
After Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong reunited, a confrontation situation formed on the battlefield. However, Cao Jun did not launch an attack at this time. Even though Xiahou Yuan led the army in the battle, after the army had just experienced a disastrous defeat, with the help of these soldiers,
It is simply impossible to retreat from the enemy.
Xia Houyuan understood that in this battle with the Youzhou Army, his own army had lost, and the defeat was very complete. Both in terms of the strategy and methods of leading the army in the battle, his own army had failed.
The power shown by the company's crossbow vehicles on the battlefield must be extremely powerful. However, the company's own army's company's company's company can't get close to the battlefield. No matter how powerful the company's company is, what use is it? The Youzhou Army only dispatched a few
Hundreds of cavalry blocked the way forward for the army. Under such circumstances, the army's lieutenants had to carefully deal with the threat from the cavalry and clear the obstacles placed by the enemy on the road.
After the army faced off for half an hour, Cao Jun chose to retreat.
Xu Huang ordered the soldiers in the army to clean the battlefield and collect the prisoners. This great victory cost Cao's army a heavy price. After this battle, the defenders of Wancheng would definitely not dare to leave the city easily.
The process of cleaning the battlefield is exciting. It is also the time for the fighting soldiers to harvest the spoils. Although these things have to be turned over, it is still very satisfying to get these things from the hands of the enemy.
Cao's soldiers, who were injured on the battlefield and could not escape, were massacred by the Youzhou army. Cao's soldiers, who were unable to move, could only add to the burden of the army after they arrived in the army.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already dusk. After counting the results of the battle, Xu Huang nodded with satisfaction. In this battle, more than 4,000 soldiers of Cao's army were killed and more than 4,000 of Cao's soldiers were captured. In other words, following Cao Hong's attack on Wu
Guan's 15,000-strong army lost about 9,000 people in this battle alone.
On the battlefield, the retreating party will definitely have to bear a huge price. Retreating means the defeat of the army, and it means that one's own side has no way to respond to the enemy's attack. At this time, no matter how strong the personal strength of the soldiers is,
, its role on the battlefield is extremely limited. The most indispensable thing on the battlefield is brave soldiers. To win a war in a real sense, you need the cooperation between all soldiers, just individual bravery.
, it is difficult to affect the overall situation.
It was not that Cao Jun's soldiers were not elite enough, but that their failure in cavalry allowed Xu Huang to find an opportunity to attack the enemy's center. In addition, the reinforcements from Wuguan dispersed Cao Jun's troops, making Cao Jun's generals even more worried.
.
He ordered a thousand men to escort the spoils obtained from the battlefield back to Wuguan. Xu Huang led the rest of the soldiers towards Wancheng. In this confrontation, the Youzhou army lost more than two thousand people and returned from Wuguan.
After the incoming army was added to the army, instead of reducing the number of soldiers in the army, it actually increased a lot.
After listening to Cao Hong's description of the situation on the battlefield, Xia Houyuan felt heavy. Judging from the fighting between the two sides, Cao Hong did not have many problems in commanding the army to fight. However, judging from the performance of the enemy, there were
It is extremely terrifying that the Youzhou army was able to stalemate Cao's army on the battlefield despite being initially at a numerical disadvantage.
