The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 267: Cao Ying is panicked, and the defeat will be decided!

As long as they can kill more people, they can even give up their lives!

It is precisely because of this aura of not fearing death that it crushes all enemy troops.

Since then, the chaotic front has gradually exposed the fangs and essence hidden in the deepest part.

All the battlefields that Xi Yu walked through were like brocades threaded through with needles and threads, and Qing Xu's army could present an overwhelming advantage in an instant.

On the other hand, Cao Pi's army, no matter how large or small any city, would be crushed instantly if they saw Xi Yu's appearance, and the leading generals would be beheaded one by one.

It was also at this time that Cao Pi's army, which was exhausted on the front line, began to wake up, why the battle was so chaotic from the very beginning.

I have to say, this guy Xi Yu hides really deep.

Such a chaotic battle situation was actually planned by him long ago.

In just a few days, bad news spread from Xia Houchun's camp that the various armies were beaten and retreated steadily.

This also made all the soldiers scratch their heads anxiously.

"We have to stop Xi Yu!"

Xia Houjie got up angrily, and walked back and forth anxiously in front of Xia Houchun.

He is not a reckless character. Although he is of the same family and the same generation as Xia Houchun, he is polite and law-abiding in every word and deed on weekdays, and he is even more rigid and stubborn.

But right now, not to mention keeping the etiquette, it is extremely difficult for him to calm down for a short time because he is impatient.

Today's battle situation is already chaotic and even more frightening.

"Brother Yuan Rang! My great general, you should see the current situation very clearly. The black cavalry is restraining the army, and the white cavalry is quietly going around to the rear of the camp. At this moment, there are more than 20 battlefields in the war zone that have been attacked by unknown enemies. Army's devastating attack."

"The enemy has stretched the front line so much, even if we are willing to support it, I am afraid that the army will be exhausted, which will cause mistakes and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of."

"We are obviously completely restrained by Xi Yu at this moment."

"We couldn't move, but Xi Yu's actions never stopped. They walked all the way from north to south, their goals were always clear, their plans never went wrong, and even as long as they appeared, our army would definitely be defeated."

"The most frightening thing is that that guy doesn't know what he is capable of, but he actually made the people in the city gather and obey them, and even the refugees outside the city listened to their call."

"It's only been six days, and most of the northern part of Hejian County has been taken away by them. If things go on like this, I'm afraid we will be defeated when they join the enemy army in the south!"

"Even if we are lucky enough not to be defeated, the army may suffer unprecedented heavy losses. At that time, the morale of the army will be unstable. Even if we don't want to, I'm afraid we can only say defeat..."

The more he talked, the faster Xia Houjie paced back and forth, and in the end, with a gloomy face, he even took pictures of Xia Houchun's official affairs.

Xia Houchun doesn't have time to worry about such a trivial matter with him right now, after all, his own mind is blank right now, and he doesn't know what to do next.

The news that Cao Chun was attacked also came back.

Holding so many light and heavy cavalry in his hands, he was beaten to the bum by a small white cavalry, throwing away his helmet and armor, what a shame!

As for Cao Zhen, he is still a bit clever, but now he is leading some cavalry to fight with the white cavalry, and he does not know when the good news will come.

However, as far as Bai Qi's reputation is concerned, it is presumably very unlikely that he will be able to deliver good news.

Xia Houchun is still thinking about Cao Zhen and others at the moment, it's not that he has any plan to turn things around, it's just that he has been staying in the rear and commanding the whole army, and he hasn't really gone to the front, so he doesn't know about the war How dire it has become.

At this moment, both the Qingxu army and Cao Pi's soldiers on the front line are all jealous.They now only see the enemies ahead who have not yet fallen.

The place where Xia Houchun was located was not far from the front line, but because a large number of soldiers were desperately guarding the front line, no battle had been fought so far.

But even so, as the news of casualties continued to increase every day, they gradually realized the cruelty of the war and the severity of the battle situation.

"Xi Yu just wanted to force me to go out and command the decisive battle, but... if we really rushed out to fight against them, it might be almost impossible to win."

"Once this battle is lost, the advantage we had before will be completely dissipated..."

Xia Houchun's complexion was ugly, extremely gloomy.

I have personally participated in two battles before, but it is a pity that I did not win the first time, and was beaten by the enemy so that I ran away and hid in Tibet.

But if you don't advance to the decisive battle...
The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in heavy armor may drop significantly, and it will be difficult to maintain a long-term battle.

"It's time to fight! It's not too late for this matter. The longer it takes, the more we will be controlled by Xi Yu. He obviously studied our tactics a long time ago. If not, we wouldn't be so cautious .”

Xia Houjie said loudly: "General, while the morale of the army is still stable and the morale is still there, if you don't fight at this time, if you drag it on, you will have endless troubles. If you fight again, you will fail!"

"Let's not take the initiative to attack before the enemy joins the northern and southern front lines, and wait until he has penetrated the front line. I'm afraid that even if we want to fight, we will have more than enough energy to fight."

"Hey!"

Xia Houchun sighed heavily, and punched the copybook.

The instantly cracked lines, along with the maps, carving knives, writing brushes, and letters on them, were all scattered on the ground.

He is really helpless now.

This huge river is mostly plains, and logically speaking, it should be the most suitable for cavalry battles. After all, it only takes less than half a month to ride a horse to run the whole territory.

A little half of the time has passed now, and Xi Yu, who has been away for six full days, may have accumulated enough unexpected background and influence.

If he was given more time to continue, the unstoppable force alone would not be something they and others could contend with.

At that time, I am afraid that the only way out is to surrender Hejian.

You can't even beat cavalry on the plains. If you rely on heavy armor, attacking fortifications is tantamount to nonsense.

What's more, Xi Yu has many siege weapons in his hands.

Back then, when the lord was alive, even Xi Yu was inferior to ordnance manufacturing, and he was even less worth mentioning.

"Since there is no way to avoid it, let's gather all our troops and fight them to the death!"

"That Xi Yu rushed to our territory without fear of death, why should we be afraid? This battle will definitely kill him in one fell swoop!"

"As long as Xi Yu can be killed, Qingxu's army will definitely be in chaos. Without Xi Yu as the lord, the war will not be far from ending. After all, except for Xi Yu, none of them can provoke the commander-in-chief. talent!"

After contemplating for a while, Xia Houchun slowly relaxed his brows, and gave the order decisively.

Xia Houjie raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, and immediately said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

After waiting for such a long time, it can be regarded as waiting for the order of the general attack.

Now, when Xi Yu and his army are exhausted on various battlefields, this is their best time to make a move!

If we continue to procrastinate, I am afraid that the only way to win a chance for ourselves is to attack with the whole army and fight to the death.

In the south of Hejian County, not far from Jinghe River.

A remnant soldier covered in evil spirits scattered by the small river dejectedly.

War horses also drank water by the river in groups of three or four.

Among this cavalry, the most special one was a general with a gloomy expression sitting by the river.

It took him a long time to get back to his senses after letting himself go, and then he sighed deeply.

This is Cao Zhen who disappeared for several days, Cao Zidan!

As the youngest and most talented general of the Cao family, he was played like a fool when he led the cavalry to surround the enemy.

If it weren't for his equestrian skills, Huang Xu's head-on sword might have decapitated him.

That night, he gritted his teeth and fought Huang Xu for a whole night until the sky turned white.

It has to be said that those white knights are amazing in terms of military ability and personal quality.

When the order is issued, the body will follow it. The sentence that the military order is like a mountain is vividly displayed on them.

That's all, through brief contact, Cao Zhen can be sure that each of them led out alone is almost a one-in-a-million general, and I'm afraid it is almost the same as his own.

Presumably these people must be good generals selected from the Qingxu army. I am afraid that they would have to be a centurion at worst in the original army.

Not to mention their high martial arts skills, they also had courage and resourcefulness, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly. Even though I had racked my brains and set up many ambushes, in the end, they left a hundred lives.

On the other hand, in just one night, his own cavalry was severely injured, and a total of [-] soldiers fell here, including more than half of the cavalry.

Speaking of the cavalry in my hands, although it is not as famous as the tiger and leopard cavalry, it can be regarded as an elite soldier even if it is the same as the commander who trained the tiger and leopard cavalry.

But in the end, the defeat was without dignity.

Even I lost to their general Huang Xu, who is said to be one year younger than myself, but...

Although he was very reluctant, Cao Zhen also had to admit that this young man whom Xi Yu attached great importance to and even adopted as his adopted son was indeed not simple.

"Damn!"

By now, he can be considered to understand that this battle is probably coming to an end.

Although I don't know the situation on the northern battlefield, but in the southern base camp, even the southern army, which is relatively safe in the south, has already been defeated by the enemy in just one face-to-face meeting. Thinking about the overall situation of the battle, it will definitely not be surprising. As one wishes.

Cao Zhen felt that just being able to survive with this remnant soldier from Huang Xu's hands was already a blessing from heaven.

Right now, the elusive Huang Xu didn't know where he went, nor... who would be the next unlucky person to encounter this ghostly army.

"Has everyone rested enough? If you have enough, hurry up and retreat to the rear. Huang Xunas will definitely go all the way north and disturb the other armies. I must return to the camp quickly and report the news to the general!"

"promise!"

The bewildered lieutenant turned and left with a brain like paste.

Gongsun Xun was shot to death by Baiqi's arrow rain that night, and even his body was trampled into a puddle of flesh by the mounts of both sides.

Now the lieutenant general was forced to be promoted to lieutenant general because of the corpse he personally collected for him.

This is also impossible.

Because of the sudden appearance of Baiqi, the [-] army was dispersed in an instant. Cao Zhen wanted to gather the other lieutenants together to discuss the plan to destroy the enemy, but Huang Xu never gave them this opportunity.

Since the army scattered, Huang Xu led the white cavalry like a cat catching a mouse, and dealt a devastating blow to the remnants scattered everywhere.

I don't know how that guy did it. He is so familiar with the map of Jizhou that even he can't compare it with himself.

All in all, no matter where you are hiding, as long as you don't leave Jizhou's territory, he can find you quietly and carry out brutal and inhumane killings.

Especially when using the Liannu, the arrows in the quiver seemed to be free of money, giving everyone an absolutely destructive hunt.

He didn't know that Baiqi never considered that the arrows would be used up, because their arrows were extremely hard and could be reused several times.

This was specially made by Xi Yu for them, and even the silvery-white hook on the arrow was specially customized to match the identity of the white knight.

Furthermore, the continuous crossbows in their hands have also been improved. Although the use of matching arrows will increase to a certain extent, the power of ordinary arrows is also greatly increased compared to ordinary continuous crossbows.

And on the battlefield, if there are no arrows, what else can there be?
Even if they don't retrieve special arrows after each battle, just relying on ordinary arrows all over the ground is enough for everyone to play.

In this way, Huang Xu regarded the entire enemy army around Jinghe as his prey.

As long as he smells a little trouble, he can give you a brutal and inhumane wipeout.

Calling Cao Zhen to be dissatisfied will not work.

As one of the more outstanding young generals in the Central Plains, he never imagined that a single cavalry could be so powerful, but if you talk about thousands of people, you can repeatedly charge and kill under the encirclement of [-] troops.

More importantly, after going through so many charges and desperate struggles, they have never had a moment of rest. Instead, they hide in various unknown corners of the mountains, crouching day and night, waiting with all their hearts for every one who has a chance. possible enemies.

To put it bluntly, those white cavalry didn't seem to know how tired they were. Regardless of the daytime, whenever the army showed a slight slack or tired posture, the white cavalry was like a wolf that smelled fishy, ​​and it was determined to come out to attack.

Even if they didn't sneak attack, they would definitely order their war horses to gallop around, just to make the army exhausted.

In fact, in the beginning, Cao Zhen had more than a few people around him. At that time, more than 1 people gathered in one place. Even if there were enemies constantly harassing around him, they could take turns to take a break every day.

Although everyone is still tired, it is better than nothing.

But as time goes by, no one can take a good rest in such an environment.

Over time, the soldiers in the army became irritable and even collapsed.

Everyone has the feeling to run as far away as possible, preferably to a safe place where the enemy can't be heard.

In this way, with the departure of the first wave of soldiers, more and more soldiers abandoned Cao Zhen.

Even if he used military law to suppress it, it was useless.

It is self-evident that the final outcome of those remnant soldiers who could not be called back by him was all encircled and killed by Huang Xu.

In just a few days, Cao Zhen didn't know how he got here, everything was so chaotic, but it was helpless.

Although on some battlefields, many soldiers resisted tenaciously and fought desperately, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the [-] army under his command was completely disabled by the white cavalry.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that the last sentence was disintegrated.

Now, he has no way of counting the casualties of the cavalry under his command, for fear that the entire army may be wiped out. As for the other soldiers, the number of casualties is not small, at least half of them.

Speaking of which, it has been ten years since I led troops to fight, but I have never seen such a way of fighting, let alone such a tragic battle.

It's almost like being beaten on the head, the key is that you don't know where the enemy appeared from.

Before the lieutenant general conveyed his words, the faint sound of horseshoes seemed to appear again.

Cao Zhen was taken aback, and hurriedly got up, after walking so far, it shouldn't be...

Before he could get lucky, he saw the stones on the ground shaking violently.

"Damn it, it's these evil stars again!" Cao Zhen's back molars were about to be crushed, but there was nothing he could do.

Obviously, Baiqi chased after him again.

Don't look at the white cavalry as light cavalry, the armor on them is not easy.

The so-called light cavalry is nothing more than the black cavalry, compared to the cavalry of other armies, and even the so-called heavy cavalry, the white cavalry is the real king!
To put it bluntly, the fact that white cavalry is light cavalry is just for comparison with black cavalry. If it is against any other cavalry in this world, white cavalry is a veritable heavy cavalry!
After all, what is a white armor that can't be broken by even a crossbow and arrows if it's not a heavy cavalry?
From this, we can also see the excellence of the Baiqi people, even the horses under their crotches are first-class.

After all, what is a good horse if you can run silently and travel thousands of miles with such a medium armor on your back?
Especially the rustling north wind that Huang Xu rode down.

It can be called this name because it once caught up with the cold north wind in the desert!

It's nothing more than that if you want to come on a horse and fly a swallow.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw! Everyone goes to Wuhuan City with all their strength! Hurry up!"

"promise!"

In an instant, the panicked Cao Zhen led the bewildered soldiers to mount their horses one after another, turned their heads and ran towards the distance with the same goal.

Huang Xu, who came slowly from a distance, looked at the scene in front of him and raised his arms for the first time.

It's not that he doesn't want to wipe out all the enemies, it's just that Baiqi's casualties are too high now, which has already exceeded his expectations.

A total of a hundred people, this is a number he can't accept at all.

It was originally thought that 50 casualties would be the end, but it turned out that there were twice as many casualties.

These thousands of people are all brothers who get along with him day and night and love him as brothers.

Fingers connected to heart, Huang Xu even felt the intense pain of his arms being chopped off.

As a general who can eat, sleep and train with his soldiers, he also knows how much prestige he has in the army.
