Chapter 3642: The Blood Swamp Traps the Cavalry, and the Wind and Fire Break the Iron Wall
When Gan Feng saw his Wuhuan cavalry roaring and instinctively chasing after the defeated Cao army soldiers, he realized that something was wrong!
"Blow the whistle!" Gan Feng shouted, "Let them come back!"

What a bunch of fools!

Gan Feng couldn't help but curse.

It's stupid indeed.

Because the original educational environment of the Wuhuan cavalry was to live happily on horseback from childhood to adulthood.

In this world, there are not only extremely smart keyboard warriors who think that everyone is lowering their intelligence, but also illiterate Wuhuan, Qiang, and Xianbei people...

"Beep..."

The whistle blew.

But just as Gan Feng's men blew the whistle, Cao's army on the hillside suddenly pulled up the wooden chevaux de frise, revealing the trap they had dug in front of the formation.

Many of Cao's fleeing soldiers were unable to stop and crashed into the barricades or fell into traps, but the Cao soldiers stationed on the hillside remained unmoved and even began to directly shoot at the Wuhuan cavalry behind the fleeing Cao soldiers with powerful bows and crossbows.

Although over time these chevaux de frise or traps will inevitably be filled with human flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood of Cao's own fleeing soldiers, but in this process, the cavalrymen chasing the fleeing Cao's army are like being trapped in a swamp of flesh and blood, with no way forward or backward!

Seeing this, Gan Feng suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then an uncomfortable feeling of disgust surged from his heart.

Aren’t these Cao’s comrades in arms?
What do they take their companions for?!

"Keep blowing the whistle! Make them move back!"

The guards blew their whistles sharply again, trying to make the cavalrymen trapped in the swamp of flesh and blood retreat amid the complex noise.

Suddenly, the drums sounded again, interrupting the whistles of the cavalry.

In the reed marsh in the south, a battle formation ready for battle suddenly appeared.

Ren Jun glanced at Ren Xian who was standing beside him, then raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down lightly.

"Strong wind! Strong wind!"

The veins on the necks of the archers in the battle formation were bulging, twisting and trembling.

"Swish! Swish, swish..."

The archers of Cao's army, who had been on standby for a long time, shot arrows and crossbow bolts indiscriminately at the fleeing soldiers of Cao's army, as well as the Wuhuan cavalry under Gan Feng who were trapped among them!
Screams suddenly resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Ah... Ah... Ah... "

The Wuhuan cavalry captain shouted.

He knew that he could not continue to be trapped in this "swamp" of people, so he raised his shield in one hand and swung his sword in the other, trying to block the arrows and crossbows, and then tried to cut a bloody path through the crowd of Cao's fleeing soldiers.

But that's easier said than done.

Their first language was Wuhuan, which evolved from the Xiongnu language.

Then the second dialect is Chinese.

Basic communication is not a big problem in normal times, but in emergencies, their native language pops up...

They had to hear the shouts of the Han cavalry under Gan Feng before they could understand them.

If the cavalry had originally been very fast, then with their huge kinetic energy, they might have been able to easily knock away the Cao army's fleeing soldiers who were blocking their way and carve out a bloody path. However, most of them were now trapped among the Cao army's fleeing soldiers, slowed down by these Cao army's fleeing soldiers who were running around in a daze, and had lost their kinetic energy.

If you want to speed up the warhorse, you must first have a certain amount of space. But now, the surrounding areas are full of people, some are running upright, some are dying sideways. When the horse's hooves step on the ground, half of it may be mud, and the other half may be flesh and blood. The speed cannot be increased at all!
Bows and crossbows had a buff that was almost "invisible" in the darkness. The trapped Wuhuan soldiers were caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, and their formation was in chaos.

Even more Cao's defeated soldiers died!

But Ren Jun didn't care at all. If he could keep all of Gan Feng's troops here, then it wouldn't matter if all the Cao army soldiers in the Cao army camp who were used as bait died!
Gan Feng pointed with his hand, "Open a path! Help them out! Everyone follow me!"

"They are the Wuhuan people!"

The subordinate responded.

"What happened to Wuhuan? They are my soldiers now too!"

Gan Feng spurred his horse and rushed forward first.

If Gan Feng rode away immediately, he would most likely escape alive, but there was no guarantee that many of the Wuhuan troops trapped in the Cao army’s rout would be able to escape alive…

Gan Feng’s choice is to save them!

He brought them here, so it is his responsibility to get them out of danger!

The earth was rapidly retreating under the horses' hooves.

The smell of blood was strong in his nose.

The sight of raging flames and flying flesh and blood in the distance made Gan Feng's blood seem to burn, anxious and hot.

He longed for fighting, longed for killing, and longed for a bloody battlefield.

The madness that was once suppressed by reason, at this moment, broke out again...

So far, Ren Jun's plan can be said to be successful.

Ren Jun didn't care about the lives of these temporarily recruited "soldiers", so every death of a cavalryman of the Hussars was a gain for Ren Jun. For Cao's army, it was not easy to capture the Hussars once in an open area like Jizhou, so no matter how many "sacrifices" there were, it was worth it.

Gan Feng didn't think too much about it, he just gave all his strength to his instincts.

At this point, the only option is to fight!
Feeling the coldness coming from the spear, Gan Feng's originally irritable mood gradually calmed down.

As the distance got closer, the screams and the sounds of metal clashing became louder and louder, and the scene gradually became clearer. Amid the flickering flames, Cao's army frantically poured arrows and crossbows at the Hussars who were trapped in a group from both sides.

Under the influence of darkness and firelight, the Hussars didn't know which side to defend even with their shields raised.

Just as they were about to charge into the chaotic army of Cao, they suddenly heard a deafening roar of killing from the side.

It turned out that a group of Cao's soldiers discovered Gan Feng's actions and swarmed over to stop him!

"How brave!"

Gan Feng suddenly became furious.

It has been a long time since any Cao army soldier was seen daring enough to confront the Hussar cavalry in Youzhou and Jizhou.

Some keyboard warriors thought that since Cao Cao was so badly defeated, why were there still people, civilians, and soldiers following him? Shouldn't they have changed sides and quit their jobs long ago? But in fact, there were still many people in the Han Dynasty who had no idea about the situation on the front line and didn't understand the specific matters.

It was like although they paid taxes to the Han Dynasty, once these taxes left their hands, they had nothing to do with them anymore. They had no idea what happened to these taxes, whether they reached the hands of those who really needed them, or became toys for certain people.

The Yuzhou garrison soldiers bravely rushed forward, angering Gan Feng. But the next moment, the guards around Gan Feng rode their horses forward and shouted, "General! I will stop these guys! General, go and join the others!"

Gan Feng glanced at the guards and said, "Okay! I'll give you fifty riders! Stop them!"

The guard responded, and immediately led a small team out of the formation and rushed towards the intercepting Cao army line.

When Gan Feng rushed through the interception line of Cao's army, he saw from the corner of his eye that his guard was chopping off the head of a Cao's soldier with a knife. The spurting blood reflected a bright purple light in the air.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows whizzed in from the darkness on one side.

When the Cao army on the hillside saw Gan Feng's troops, they turned their arrows and crossbows towards Gan Feng.

Among the cavalrymen beside Gan Feng, some were hit by two or three arrows in an instant, and they were shaking and almost fell off their horses.

Gan Feng roared: "Forward! Forward! Ignore those Cao troops! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

It would be unwise to attack Cao's army on the hillside in response to the attack.

On the one hand, there were chevaux de frise and traps on the hillside. Even though a part of it was filled with the chaotic Cao army's fleeing soldiers, there were still some depressions and unevenness. On the other hand, Gan Feng felt that the main figures of Cao's army were not on the hillside, but in front!
Save people! Kill enemies!
The two are not contradictory.

Gan Feng shouted and swung the spear in his hand, striking in front of the horse like a whirlwind.

With some tiny collision sounds, most of the arrows and crossbow bolts in the darkness were knocked down by Gan Ning, and only a few fell on Gan Feng. However, due to the angle and strength, it was just like pushing Gan Feng and did not cause any actual damage to him.

Gan Feng stared at the Cao army's "vortex" that was getting closer and closer, and then threw all distractions behind him, threw himself into the battle in front of him, wielded his spear, and rushed forward with all his might. After killing several enemies in a row, Gan Feng looked back and saw that his soldiers had habitually formed a sharp arrow array, and followed Gan Feng's back and deeply wedged into the Cao army.

The spear pierced into Cao Jun's body, and Cao Jun was pierced by the force and thrown backwards.

Gan Feng loosened his strength with one hand and shook his other hand slightly, instantly transferring his strength to the spear tip, loosening the part of the Cao soldier's muscles that had instinctively clenched before death. The Cao soldier fell down with blood spurting out of his wound, and crashed into another Cao soldier, and was submerged under the horse's hooves in the blink of an eye.

"Forward! Forward!"

Gan Feng shouted, but before he could finish his words, a spear suddenly stabbed from the side like a venomous snake. The sharp edge of the spear flashed in the firelight, and with a bloodthirsty breath, it attacked Gan Feng's chest!
Gan Feng kicked out almost instinctively, trying to kick the spear away, but he didn't expect that the spear only changed its direction slightly. It could not be kicked away as Gan Feng expected, and it was still heading towards Gan Feng's shoulder and neck!

Gan Feng quickly changed his body position and lowered his center of gravity to one side, avoiding the powerful thrust of the spear. He then pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at the Cao army soldier who was holding the spear!

The Cao army took a step back, used their spears to block Gan Feng's sword, and then retreated a few more steps, disappearing among the swaying figures of the other Cao army...

"Who is this?!" Gan Feng felt a chill on the back of his head. His head, which was hit by adrenaline, calmed down a little. "There is such a good player in Cao's army?!"

But the current situation did not allow Gan Feng to feel any emotion. He could only continue to fight forward while carefully scanning the battlefield.

There were two Cao soldiers in front who were suddenly attacking Gan Feng.

Gan Feng did not dare to be careless. He shook out his spear and pushed away the spears that the two Cao army soldiers were stabbing at him. At the same time, he swept his sword with his backhand and immediately chopped off two heads...

The blood from his neck spurted out more than a foot high and then fell behind Gan Feng.

"Hmm?" Gan Feng was a little stunned.

He originally thought that these two Cao army soldiers were like the powerful opponent just now, but obviously not. They were just ordinary soldiers with low combat power and slow reaction. They didn't even know to dodge when swords and guns were right in front of them.

Before Gan Feng could come up with anything, the situation suddenly became more relaxed. They broke through the Cao army on the periphery and came into contact with some Wuhuan cavalry trapped in the vortex of chaos.

Most keyboard warriors have never tried a game where they have to spin in circles with their eyes closed, so they have many questions, such as, "Can't you use the grenade? Can't you run away when you see something bad happening? Can't you take the initiative to gather in the direction of Gan Feng?"

On the battlefield, it is like being trapped in a fire. The surrounding swords, guns, flames, blood, shouting, etc. will greatly disrupt people's perception. Even if these Wuhuan cavalry have received training, they may not be able to quickly find the organization after losing their direction and command. They can only passively cope with the crowd.

It can even be said that these Wuhuan cavalrymen who are trapped in the vortex of flesh and blood are still able to maintain a fighting posture and protect themselves at this moment, which is already very strong.

Gan Feng has a deep understanding of this point.

After all, if Gan Feng had encountered the skilled fighter hidden among the ordinary soldiers of Cao's army just now, and had been a little careless, he might have been injured!
If Gan Feng is like this, how many of these Wuhuan cavalrymen who are trapped in the vortex can have the same skills as Gan Feng?

After rescuing some Wuhuan cavalrymen in succession, Gan Feng now faces different choices. Is to continue to lead his troops to charge forward and directly attack Cao's main camp.

Or evacuate.

If Gan Feng had not encountered the elite fighters hiding among the chaotic soldiers of Cao's army, it is possible that Gan Feng would have directly commanded his troops to attack Ren Jun's position in one breath!

But now...

Although the warm blood and broken flesh were still attached to Gan Feng's face and body, they gradually became sticky and cold under the night breeze.

Gan Feng looked back and found that the number of Wuhuan cavalry he brought with him had decreased, and many of those still on horseback were injured.

Although these Wuhuan cavalrymen remained calm, shouted loudly, and followed closely on horseback with spears and swords in hand, it did not mean that these guys would never get tired or hurt.

Another shocking sound of war drums rang out.

Ren Jun ordered his soldiers to advance, demonstrate towards Gan Feng and other troops, and actively challenge them to a fight.

Gan Feng saw that his soldiers were already showing signs of fatigue, and Ren Jun was of course aware of that as well.

After a long period of shooting, the archers in Cao's army have now retreated to the second line to rest, while the melee soldiers have almost maintained 80% to 90% of their physical strength.

In front of Gan Feng and the others was a huge shield that was more than one person tall. It was slowly pressing up with the drumbeats, like a movable wooden wall. This shield had three spikes at the bottom, which could be pierced into the soil when needed. After it stood firm, it could also increase its impact resistance. It could be said to be the strongest infantry mobile defense shield at the moment, and it could be said to be like a small, movable fortress.

Behind the oars and shields are the spearmen...

This is a typical infantry-cavalry formation used to defend, neutralize, and counterattack.

Countless raised spear tips were visible from the top of the shield.

If this kind of spear was placed on a shield, even if the cavalry charged and hit the formation to break it, the cavalry that hit it first would surely die, and would most likely be pierced by the spear like a strip of meat.

Gan Feng didn't know about the new archer cavalry tactics that had emerged in Hedong. Of course, even if he knew, his men wouldn't be able to immediately send out a group of archers to break Cao's infantry shield when their strength and blood were declining.

What about grenades?

Gan Feng thought of the rain of arrows shot by Cao's army just now...

There is no doubt that although Cao's army has stopped shooting and no arrows or crossbow bolts are falling, it does not mean that Cao's army does not have subsequent long-range shooting means.

Gan Feng turned around and looked at the cavalry behind him, and hesitated.

"We can use grenades!" The military school student next to him spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, "We can blast a hole! Rush in!"

indeed.

No matter how big and strong the shield is, it still needs people to hold it up. If the Cao army soldiers behind the shield are killed or injured by grenades, then this seemingly solid defense system will naturally collapse...

However, an inexplicable intuition on the battlefield seemed to constantly cool down Gan Feng's feverish head, forcing him to replace the hot blood in his brain with brain matter that could think.

Cao's army had arranged traps and arrays on the hillside, and placed oars and spearmen here, and even hid elite soldiers among the fleeing Cao's army. Could it be that they were not prepared for the grenades of the Hussars?
Gan Feng suddenly realized that if the passage was blown open, he would naturally rush in. However, if there was any problem after rushing in, it would not be so easy to get out...

But Gan Feng was unwilling to let him retreat with his wounded cavalry!
The night wind howled past.

After the blood and flesh on his face turned cold, they began to shrink.

Gan Feng stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of flesh on his face that had become tight due to the cold and caused his skin to itch and hurt.

Suddenly, he inadvertently saw the torn pieces of his battle robe on his arm fluttering in the wind.

"Wait... now, the wind direction now..."

Gan Feng's eyes fixed, "Who has kerosene?!"

Obviously, not many people brought grenades, and even fewer brought kerosene.

"Fire sticks, flint!" Gan Feng was almost incoherent, gesturing and talking, "First, send a group of people! Grenades! The rest of you go to the upper windward side and set fire!"

It's no wonder that Gan Feng had such a hard time describing a plan. It was even a little confusing. There was no order of precedence, no coordination, and no mention of signals, gathering points, and how the subsequent attack would unfold, etc...

After all, for Gan Feng, what he did before was mostly just shouting "kill".

Kill this side, rush that side.

This strategy, which seems very "crude" to some people, almost makes Gan Feng's head smoke out.

"Do you... do you understand?"

Gan Feng was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gan Feng's military academy and soldiers understood Gan Feng's intention without any obstacles. Some of them pretended to launch a grenade attack and rushed towards Cao's line, but retreated outside the range, as if they were looking for an angle to throw. Another group of people rushed to the upwind position.

Gan Feng looked at all this, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a different feeling in his heart. This feeling made him feel even more joyful than the crazy killing on the battlefield before...

This is how the same thing?
