Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3366: Helpless Changes, Great Opportunity

The left wing of the Cavalry Army divided the battlefield under the city of Anyi.

The old military commander under Xu Chu has always felt that he is not old.

He also refuses to accept his old age.

Looking at the smoke-filled and raging flames in the Cao army camp in Anyi not far away, the old military marquis's chest seemed to be burning, anxious and hot.

Overall, Xu Chu's surprise attack was basically successful, but the final step depends on the old military marquis himself!

"Give General Xu a message!" The old general gripped his spear tightly and called over a young man from his family, "Say that most of Cao's army has attacked our formation!"

The young man hesitated for a moment, "Marquis, then you..."

The young man and the old military marquis are from the same clan.

The old military marquis glared at him, "Go quickly!"

The young man had no choice but to obey the order and leave.

"The rest of you, get the order! Get ready for battle!" The old general patted the neck of the warhorse under his crotch, "Old buddy, let's have another good fight today!"

The warhorse neighed, as if responding to him.

The old general laughed and urged his horse forward.

"Fight! Fight!"

Since the old military marquis had promised Xu Chu to intercept the troops from Cao's camp and guard Xu Chu's retreat, he naturally had to do what he said.

The noise in Cao's camp was getting louder and louder. Perhaps after a while, or perhaps just a moment, the camp gate of Cao's camp suddenly opened, and a team of Cao's cavalry poured out along the passage covered with bridge planks and rushed straight to the old military marquis.

In a cavalry battle, there is absolutely no reason for one side to stand still and let the other side charge at will.

The Hussar cavalry responded in unison.

  The Cao army cavalry squad that rushed out first did not stop at all, nor could they stop. Because they rushed out to expand the battlefield space for the troops behind them. If these cavalry squads stayed where they were, would the troops behind them have to line up in the ditch first?

The old general urged his horse forward, holding his spear tightly in both hands, and charged straight at Cao's cavalry squad.

The two sides collided with each other in the blink of an eye.

The old military marquis's age meant that he had a wealth of experience on the battlefield. With just one encounter, he tricked the Cao army soldiers on the opposite side into missing their attacks, and then he shot the enemy off his horse with one shot.

The two sides collided with each other.

It's like two combs biting each other.

Obviously, the overall bite force of Cao's cavalry was relatively poor, and they were knocked off their horses one after another by the Hussar cavalry.

The Hussars also suffered some casualties, but the rate was less.

The old general shouted and brandished his spear, knocking out the enemy's weapons. He picked, slashed, broke and stabbed, sending his opponents away one by one.

The old military marquis's marksmanship was very ordinary. He had neither any fancy moves nor any wonderful combat techniques. It was just the simple and unpretentious skills that he had practiced shot by shot on the battlefield.

The old general threw all distractions behind him and focused on the fight. If you observe carefully, you will find that the moves used by the old general are not much different from those of the Cao cavalrymen facing him, except that they are more accurate, more standard, and more skilled, and finally they are faster than the opponent.

After killing several enemies in a row, the old general glanced back and saw that his cavalry had spontaneously formed a cone formation, followed by the old general wedge-shaped formation deeply into the enemy army.

Spears and swords clashed with each other, and soldiers from both armies fell down from time to time.

The ownerless horses fled in all directions.

  Suddenly, the old military marquis' eyes lit up, but he soon saw more Cao's troops filling his entire vision!

The main force of Cao's army appeared before the old general.

At the forefront of the enemy formation was a huge tower shield more than one person tall, which slowly pressed forward with the beat of the drums like an indestructible iron wall.

Exposing the top of the tower shield were countless raised spear tips.

"Turn! Turn!"

The old military officer shouted and quickly turned his horse's head.

If the cavalry charged directly into the front of the already lined-up infantry, especially those with large shields and spears, they would kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own. Even if they could really break through the enemy formation, the damage to the horses and personnel would also be considerable. Therefore, most of the time, the cavalry would choose to attack from the side.

  However, what the old general did not expect was that when he and his cavalry were turning in front of Cao's infantry formation, another team of cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind Cao's formation!

The first one was a Cao army general, wearing fine armor and a visor covered with a ferocious evil ghost pattern. His sturdy body seemed to be full of strength, his muscular arms were dark, and he was waving a long-handled sword, pointing straight at him!

The old general's heart skipped a beat, he was both happy and surprised, could it be that the person who came was Cao Hong, the general of Cao's army? !

But the old military marquis immediately discovered a problem with himself, that is, his current position was not right.

If the generals of both sides want to engage in a fierce battle, they naturally need to have a good position against each other, so that they can attack and defend, advance and retreat, go up and down, roll and entangle with each other, so that they can be considered evenly matched.

For example, the old military marquis had already started to move sideways, but was attacked from the flank by Cao Hong. For a moment, he was unable to turn around as flexibly as the infantrymen!

So the old military marquis had only one choice!

Speed ​​up and seize the outside line!

Then they went around the circle and bit back at the rear and flanks of Cao's army!

There is nothing wrong with the old military marquis' choice.

This tactic is like two snakes swimming around, devouring each other's tails. It is also a common tactic among cavalrymen.

But the old general forgot one thing...

People grow old, and so do war horses.

We are getting older day by day, and the key thing is that this kind of aging is difficult to detect by ourselves. Even the relatives and friends around us, the closest people in the family, as long as they are around us every day, it is difficult for them to discover this state of "aging".

The younger generation of my family has grown from a child to a grown man.

So for the old military marquis, he has entered old age from his prime...

Not everyone can compare with Huang Zhong, and not all war horses can be named Red Hare.

The old military marquis thought that he had indeed gone all out, and his horse was also running at its best...

But time is unforgiving, no matter whether it is man or woman.

This helpless change cannot be changed by human will.

  Suddenly, the general of Cao's army rushed out from the smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye he rushed up, slashing at the old general with his long sword!

Horse fast!

The knife is faster!

There was nowhere to hide, so the old general had to grit his teeth, raise his spear and block with all his might.

"clang!!"

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out. The old general was old after all. Although he blocked this fierce attack, he couldn't help feeling dizzy. His internal organs seemed to be curled up into a ball, and he felt chest tightness and nausea.

The old general was a little dizzy, but instinctively, he still felt as if a sharp cold wind was rushing towards his chest. The old general was about to raise his spear to block, but he felt a sharp pain in his hands and couldn't even hold the spear handle. He realized that the fierce blow had caused the old general's palm to burst.

  Boxing is afraid of young people!

In fact, I’m also afraid of knives!

Although Cao Hong is not young, he is younger than the old military marquis!

The reason why it is said that other weapons are more experienced and sophisticated is because it is not a fight on the battlefield, but a fight off the battlefield, so naturally the moves are more sophisticated and the more experienced ones will win.

The only difference is that when it comes to fighting, whether it is the ability to withstand blows or the strength, the older ones will always be at a disadvantage, which cannot be compensated by skills and experience...

Just like the old military marquis now, if he was five or three years younger, his strength would not have declined to the current level, and his warhorse would not have been easily overtaken by Cao Hong's warhorse!

"Haha! Come again!"

Cao Hong laughed wildly, then swung his sword again!

  Cao Hong's war horses were naturally the best of the best. Although they were not as good as the ones Cao Cao had, they were also rare good horses in the army. The horses that had accompanied the old military marquis were just old friends of many years, and their strength and speed were much inferior. So although Cao Hong started later, he was able to catch up with the other one and was barely on par with it!

The old military marquis could only raise his spear again and strike out with all his might!

"clang! 』

There was another loud noise.

  This situation of two horses running parallel is extremely disadvantageous for the old military marquis!

If it was a cross-attack, then it would only be one round. As long as it was blocked, it would be equivalent to a change of players. But now the old military marquis was forced to block Cao Hong's continuous attacks! This can't go on any longer!

The old general pretended to twist his body on the horse, then threw his hand violently at Cao Hong and shouted "Hit!"

Cao Hong was startled and quickly dodged backwards, but he didn't see anything flying out, so he became furious, "You old bastard! Prepare to die!"

  But when Cao Hong was about to chop again in anger, he suddenly saw a black shadow in front of him!

Cao Hong shrank his head suddenly, and the black shadow bit Cao Hong's helmet, biting a piece of iron and causing it to fly out, and also knocking Cao Hong's head crooked!

"well……"

The old military marquis sighed secretly.

  What a pity! If the base of the hand had not been injured, the flying knife might have been faster and more accurate!

Cao Hong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and his hair stood on end, but he also became more and more angry. He roared and spurred his horse to charge again, swinging his long sword and chopped at the old military marquis again, vowing to kill him!

Between life and death, the old military marquis twisted his body violently, trying to avoid the attack!

The warhorse under the old general's crotch seemed to have sensed the danger at this moment and was trying its best to move to the side!

Cao Hong slashed at the old military marquis's side with his sword. The sharp blade cut through the old military marquis's armor, bringing out a string of blood!

Not only that, Cao Hong's sword also cut the neck of the old general's horse!

The warhorse suddenly staggered and was about to fall.

The cavalry on the side rushed to rescue, but they fought with Cao Hong's men.

There was a melee immediately.

The two sides were fighting each other, competing for every inch of space.

But the old general was seriously injured after all, and the cavalry was unable to effectively command them for a while. Some wanted to evacuate with the seriously injured old general, while others still wanted to fight with Cao's army, resulting in the battle force not being able to be gathered in one place. In addition, although Cao Hong was not very good at cavalry combat, he had thick armor, a sharp sword, and great strength, so he killed and injured many cavalrymen in succession, and completely disrupted the cavalry's formation...

"Hold back! Pass the order!" Cao Hong slowly reined in his horse, "Don't chase! Take them back!"

Cao Hong also felt helpless about these cavalry leaders.

As soon as the wind is favorable, the waves begin!

The guy next to Mara, don't you see that the cavalry is in the battle formation over there? !

Did you really think you could charge your way into the center of the cavalry? I'm afraid that by then only Ah Ah Ah would be left!

When Cao Hong hung his sword on the horse's back, he found himself covered in cold sweat.

  What a risk, what a risk!

Almost fell into the gutter...Oh, the horse fell into the ditch!

  Who is that guy?

I was almost stabbed in the face by a flying knife!

This feeling of brushing shoulders with death made Cao Hong very unhappy, and also made him somewhat scared, which resulted in him not having the courage to continue charging towards Fei Qian's center formation.

"Line up! Line up!"

Cao Hong shouted, he turned his head to look at the infantry formation and artillery team left behind by Xu Chu, and clicked his tongue twice.

Damn Xu Chu, damn Shandong traitor, he was so careful that he not only left cavalry, but also infantry guards!

Looking at the long spears and large shields that had been set up, as well as the soldiers and craftsmen who were busy around the cannons, apparently preparing to load gunpowder and shells, Cao Hong silently turned his horse's head.

People always like to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Of course, Cao Hong had his reasons for making this choice.

First, we need to deal with the Shandong traitor Xu Chu. These remaining infantry and artillery units will be in chaos!

On the other hand, if they could not defeat these well-arranged cavalry infantrymen in a short period of time, even if they were lucky enough not to be hit by artillery fire, they would still have to deal with Xu Chu's troops coming from behind.

He had defeated and driven away the cavalry column of the Hussars here. Before the Hussars reunited, Cao Hong briefly gained the initiative in this small battlefield and could choose targets to attack actively.

  Cao Hong’s choice was to kill Xu Chu!

This is also the reason why Cao Hong would risk his life to fight on the front line.

He had to ensure that the Hussar Cavalry was defeated at the first possible moment, and then he could gather his troops and choose the next target of attack. If he only used flags or drums to convey orders within the camp, he would undoubtedly miss the opportunity.

That’s right, Cao Hong believed that this moment was a great opportunity!

Fei Qian's right wing was entangled by his subordinate Cao Sheng, so he would definitely not be able to come regardless of whether he won or lost.

  Fei Qian had to guard against the pincer attack from the infantry and cavalry of Cao's main camp, so it was also impossible for him to send troops to rescue Anyi immediately!

So at such a moment and in such a place, it was Cao Hong's best opportunity to kill Xu Chu!

It was just like he had just killed the old military marquis!

However, Cao Hong made a mistake in his haste. He thought Xu Chu's fighting ability was not strong enough...

  Especially since Cao Hong had just killed the old military marquis, his blood was boiling and his adrenaline was abundant. He felt that he was omnipotent and could even kill a god!

What's more, this Shandong rebel? !

Cao Hong certainly couldn't compare to the sharp vision of those keyboard warriors who had a God's perspective every day. He did fight with Xu Chu, but he was only a general commanding soldiers in battles before, and had never fought with Xu Chu face to face. Moreover, Xu Chu had always been by Fei Qian's side before, and there were few earth-shaking records of his battles that were reported to Shandong.

As a result, in front of Cao's camp, Xu Chu was tricked by Cao Hong, and then handed over the command of the cavalry to Li Li. This was of course a more stable performance of Xu Chu, but in the eyes of different standpoints, there are different conclusions.

This gave Cao Hong some inexplicable sense of superiority psychologically...

  The previous defeated opponent!

A guy who escaped by sheer luck!

Something like that.

In addition, after Xu Chu handed over the command of the cavalry, he naturally did not lead the team to appear on the front line...

Therefore, Cao Hong thought that Xu Chu was most likely a wimp!

  I dare not show up again after losing once!

After comprehensive consideration, Cao Hong felt that at this time, directly attacking Xu Chu might be a very good opportunity!

Killing General Fei Qian first would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the entire Cavalry Army and would also greatly boost the morale of Cao's army!

"Haha, they're coming out! Hurry up! Follow them! Kill them! Kill this traitor! "

Cao Hong turned around and saw Xu Chu leading his troops to leave Cao's camp, so he immediately urged them to rush straight to where Xu Chu's flag was.

  Cao Hong stared at Xu Chu, gritting his teeth in hatred!

Traitor from Shandong!

And the most important thing is that this guy was born in Qiao County!

If we don't kill him, wouldn't that be a role model for others? We must not set such a precedent!

This is the punishment of justice!

It was precisely because of this mentality that Cao Hong always felt that Xu Chu was inferior to him!

So let’s fight with real guns and swords!

This is a real man!

What kind of person is he who does evil things all day long? !

Of course, at this time, Cao Hong naturally ignored his previous use of the trebuchet...

  From the current point of view, Cao Hong's plan is quite successful!

Well, at least it's halfway done...

But simply killing a military marquis obviously could not satisfy Cao Hong's desire.

Moreover, Cao Hong calculated that even if he could not kill Xu Chu in one attack, he could still interrupt Xu Chu's advance, and then wait for the Cao army's infantrymen in the Cao army camp to come out, and then he could completely surround and strangle Xu Chu!

  At the same time, because the troops of both sides were mixed together, the Hussars' artillery did not dare to fire even if it was restored!

Hahaha, it’s a perfect opportunity!

"You little thief! You're going to die!"

When Cao Hong saw Xu Chu, he was overjoyed and felt that he had the upper hand in this match!

  He had a horse, but Xu Chu had just rushed out of Anyi camp and didn't even have a horse!

If he can't win, he'll perform something on the spot!

Cao Hong screamed strangely, waving his bloody sword and rushed towards Xu Chu.

Little did they know that Xu Chu was also very happy when he saw Cao Hong!

  Previously, Xu Chu was worried that Cao Hong was hiding in the camp and he might not have a chance to avenge the previous stones. But who knew that God would take pity on him and let Cao Hong fall right in front of him with a bang!

Xu Chu's guard wanted to step forward to cover him, but was stopped by Xu Chu, "Get out of the way! Leave it to me!"

As a result, a very strange situation occurred at the scene.

Both parties were very happy, felt very confident, and felt that the other party was offering themselves to them...

  "This is a great opportunity!" X2

I've made some changes, but it's basically the same.

The water monkey is in a mess...

I've been too busy these days, otherwise it would have just flowed naturally...

  I’m really too busy. I totally agree with young people not having children, but what can they do?

I can't say I can return the product, can I? Every day, I keep thinking about my birth, and I can't get angry or not...
