Chapter 136 Combo Attack
Xiahou Dun squinted his eyes and looked at the Xiaqiu City in front of him. The city wall was only three battles high and the circumference was only ten miles long. The soldiers at the top of the city looked almost Miao Miao.
"General, do we want to camp and siege the city first?" asked the personal guards next to Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun snorted disdainfully and said, "Does it still waste time to siege the city like this small city? Is it possible for us to pass on the orders of our army and the whole army will seize this city in one go!"
With his military order issued, five thousand infantry and cavalry outside the hundred battles in Xiaqiu City, began to line up amid the loud drums and clamors, making an siege.
At the front were the first-mounted soldiers selected from each department, holding light ladders in their hands, eager to try and prepare to make achievements. In the middle were a large number of swords and shield soldiers who were about to follow them to the top of the city, and finally spearmen and ordinary cavalry, who rushed into the city just when the city gate opened.
At this time, the gate of Xiaqiu City suddenly opened wide, and a war cavalry surged out of Xiaqiu City.
Xiahou Dun was startled first, and then smiled and said, "I overestimated my ability, and dared to go out of the city to show off my duel..."
However, his smile immediately frozen. Because there were much more warriors coming out of the city gate than he thought. I don’t know how many horses would come out from the city gate.
Moreover, the part of the war cavalry that was speeding out from behind looked extremely sophisticated, even better than the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army on their own.
"Prepare to fight, infantry formation! Cavalry attack with someone!" Xiahou Dun's forehead rushes, and his voice roars with all his might. He knew that he had hit the stone, and the main cavalry of the Xuzhou Army was actually hidden in Xiaqiu City.
It is too late to retreat now. Once you retreat at this time, except for one thousand cavalry who can escape from the sky, the other four thousand infantry will inevitably be easily defeated and annihilated by the opponent.
More than a thousand ordinary cavalry of Cao troops located behind the formation followed Xiahou Dun around the army formation and went around the other side. This would force the enemy cavalry to worry about their own side, which would greatly reduce their power when attacking their own infantry formation.
When Xiahou Dun's front of the death warriors first climbed out of the city gate, they hurriedly threw the bamboo ladder in their hands on the ground, held the steel knife in their mouths in their right hand, and the round shield in their left hand stood up.
Even though they were known as dead soldiers, the tiger and leopard cavalry that were rushing towards them still made them very scared!
A white-robed young general in the opponent's cavalry formation was Zhao Yun. The silver spear in his hand pointed directly at the team leader of a dead soldier. The latter quickly covered the shield to block the incoming force of the gun blade.
Zhao Yun picked up the silver spear over the edge of the shield and hung above the head of the deceased soldier. After pressing, the deceased soldier felt an unstoppable force coming, and the shield was pressed down. Then Zhao Yun's gun blade had stabbed forward, and a spark of sparks broke out from the edge of the shield. With a puff, he pierced the dead soldier's chest. Then the silver spear was taken back by Zhao Yun.
At this time, the war horse that Zhao Yun was running forward was still a long distance away from the body of the dead soldier. The four movements of pressing and stabbing were actually completed in the blink of an eye. The most difficult one was to collect the gun, because the war horse was running forward at a high speed. You can imagine how fast it would be to retract the gun blade in time.
The ordinary people couldn't see the process clearly at all. When Mars popped up, the dead soldier stood on the spot. When Zhao Yun's war cavalry flew past him at high speed, the body fell down.
Zhao Yun stabbed and picked and stroked, and a gun shadow enveloped his galloping mount. Three or four Cao army soldiers had fallen under his gun, and another Cao army soldier was knocked away by his war horse.
A row of tiger and leopard cavalry on both sides of his side also came out in full swing, corpses of the first-row dead soldiers holding round shields and small swords were storming all over the field. The Xuzhou cavalry also waved their sabers and rushed into the Cao army formation and slashed and killed them.
A Cao army soldier stabbed his spear into the chest and shoulders of a Xuzhou cavalryman. The horse neighed in pain, and his front legs knelt forward. The cavalry had fallen off his horse.
The huge impact force forced the Cao army soldier with a gun and spear to let go. At the same time, another tiger and leopard warrior wearing bronze armor rushed over and knocked him away from two battles, just before the iron hoof of a war horse, and his head was kicked to pieces by the horse's hoof.
Except for the thousand light cavalry flying feathers, the other iron cavalry rushed into Xiahou Dun's infantry army formation. The same number of iron cavalry counterparts, and the infantry had not yet been arranged into anti-cavalry army formations. The result can be imagined.
The tiger, leopard cavalry and knights flew past the Cao army formation, and the weapons in their hands had been replaced with horse-knife. Behind them were corpses everywhere. The bodies of Cao army soldiers with horse spears were seen everywhere.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was taking Qianqi to circle from the outside. When he saw this scene from afar, he was stunned. He calmed down and understood that now was not the time to fight qi and ruthlessly. He could only retreat!
He shouted loudly, "Transfer our military orders, retreat! Retreat!" But before he finished speaking, a team of horses from thousands of cavalry rushed towards him.
Before Xiahou Dun's cavalry could turn the horse's head, more than a thousand arrows were shot at them with a sound of breaking through the air. The arrows were extremely fast and powerful. The cavalry of the Cao army fell from the war horses like hail. The ones came from Feng Yu's light cavalry Feiyu.
The cavalry team that was rushing to turn around cannot be like the stationary infantry formation. Each soldier can complete it by turning back 180 degrees. Either stop first, and then turn the horse heads around. Or take a big circle under the leadership and change the direction of the cavalry team's advance.
The former needs to take time to pass on the military orders one by one, so that the entire cavalry can slowly stop. Xiahou Dun can't wait to do this. "Retreat! Retreat!" He shouted while turning around the horse's head and led the nearly 1,000 cavalry back in a big circle.
"Ah!" Xiahou Dun screamed, and it turned out that a wave arrow was just shot into his right eye. He almost fell from his mount in pain.
He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and finally took the entire cavalry backwards. During this process, the arrows of the Qingqi Feiyu attacked continuously, causing huge casualties to Xiahou Dun's cavalry.
Dian Qing led the light cavalry Feiyu to continue hunting down Xiahou Dun's remaining soldiers. At this time, Xiahou Dun's infantry had long been defeated, and Feng Yu and Zhao Yun also followed with the remaining four thousand cavalry.
Two large war cavalry were running on the Huai Si Plain, one after another. Xiahou Dun, who was running towards Juling, saw that the other party was chasing him tightly, and was extremely anxious. But after passing a hill, the other party did not chase him closely, but went to another place.
Xiahou Dun covered his bloody eyes and suddenly thought of it
The other party might be going to raid the Xiahou Yuan tribe in Juling instead of chasing him. He looked at his own defeated general with one eye, with less than four hundred cavalry left.
At this time, it was too late for him to rush to meet Xiahou Yuan, and secondly, his own troops would not have any effect. Thinking of this, he immediately took the remaining soldiers to retreat to the direction of Caiwu City, which was where Cao Cao's headquarters was located.
