The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 675: Dispersed Breakout
In such a hurry, Hussein could not think of any countermeasures, while Cao Ren's offensive came like an overwhelming force.

The specially made chariots are not only very sturdy, but the specially made mechanisms can also connect the chariots to each other, making them impossible to be shaken.

The crossbowmen and halberd bearers on the chariots launched the attack from a high position.

The Kushan army was blocked outside the "shield wall" and could not advance at all.

For a moment, Hussein felt like he was attacking a city.

However, they did not carry any "siege equipment" and could only die in vain.

Cao Ren watched this scene from a distance and snorted with disdain.

"To attack, you must have something to rely on. The era of relying solely on the lives of soldiers is long gone."

After experiencing the baptism of the Central Plains War, the combat levels of various vassal states have been improved by more than one level, and their combat methods have also changed a lot.

Although they were still as brave as before, they paid more attention to tactics and techniques, especially "military skills".

There is no way, the fighting method of using equipment and mechanical dimensionality reduction attacks is just too satisfying.

Just like a chariot, it had long been eliminated and ignored by them before.

But when the iron chariot was placed before them, they realized.

There is actually a chariot that can wrap up all the war horses and soldiers like a fortress, and its maneuverability and flexibility are not reduced. It can adapt to most terrains and has various mechanisms and functional chariots.

The existence of black technologies such as bearings and rubber has made the originally bulky chariots have a qualitative leap and shine again.

If they encounter an enemy with this kind of organized tank group, I'm afraid they will also have a huge headache.

But when the situation is reversed and they have it and the enemy doesn’t, that’s awesome.

Seeing that the enemy could not break through the "shield wall" he built with chariots, Cao Ren knew that the outcome of this battle was decided.

"Spread out! Fight from other directions!"

After fighting for a long time, seeing that he could not break through the "shield wall", Hussein had no choice but to give the order.

However, as the surrounding soldiers followed Hussein's orders and began to slow down their offensive and change direction, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the side attacked them.

At the same time, as Cao Ren's flag was waving, the horn sounded.

The driver climbed onto the chariot again, unfastened the buckle, and the chariot group once again charged towards Hussein's army.

"When attacking, you are like a torrential rain; when defending, you are like a towering mountain. The transition between offense and defense is flexible and smooth. Zixiao, you have become a role model for your generation!" Cao Cao looked at this scene and sighed sincerely.

The look he gave Cao Ren was full of admiration and satisfaction.

In this life, since nearly half of his original civil and military officials were poached by Tian Ze, although there are still many talented people, the only two generals who can stand on their own are Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers.

Among them, Cao Ren was the best in terms of military ability.

Although the battle only involved tens of thousands of people, the resourcefulness and command ability displayed by Cao Ren at this time were almost as good as those of Zhou Yu and Shen Pei, which greatly comforted Cao Cao.

"My lord, you are too kind. Compared with Zhou Gongjin and others, I still have many shortcomings." Cao Ren said modestly.

After seeing monsters like Zhou Yu and Guan Yu, Cao Ren, who was already calm in nature, became even more humble.

There is always someone better than you. Even if he thinks he is strong enough, after being beaten countless times, he has lost all his complacency.

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the situation on the battlefield suddenly change.

Seeing that there was no way out, Hussein waved his long sword and led the remaining troops to rush towards the sand dunes in the northwest direction.

The terrain there is rugged, and the maneuverability of the tanks will be greatly reduced.

Cao Ren was not surprised to see this. He gently waved the flag, and Xiahou Yuan's troops, who had been prepared, immediately made a detour from the flank to intercept.

Xiahou Yuan's light cavalry was like an arrow shot from a bow and quickly blocked the enemy.

With the advent of chariots, a powerful weapon for breaking through enemy formations, the way of war was changed again, and cavalry was reduced from the main force to the auxiliary force again.

Under such circumstances, the functionality of Xiahou Yuan's army, which was known for its flexibility and mobility, was once again greatly enhanced.

Hussein looked back and saw the rising dust, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He knew very well that once the cavalry surrounded them, this remaining army would have no chance of survival.

Now the army is firmly held by Cao's army and defeat is inevitable. At this moment, he just wants to fight like a trapped beast and buy more time for Bim to evacuate.

"Break out in dispersed forms!" He gave the order in a hoarse voice. The Kushan army fled in all directions like frightened birds, trying to break through the blockade by breaking up into small groups.

The final blessing time of the Buddhist beads has passed, and the Kushan army has completely lost the room for resistance.

However, Cao Ren had predicted this and waved the command flag again, allowing the Han army to adjust their formation as if they were their own.

The chariots stretched out on both wings in a fan-shaped encirclement, forcing the Kushan army, which was trying to disperse, back to the center.

The crossbowmen on the chariots kept firing arrows. The specially made three-edged arrowheads pierced through the armor of the Kushan army, and screams rang out one after another.

Hussein watched the soldiers around him fall one by one, despair surged in his heart. He clenched the broken knife and decided to make a last stand.

"Follow me!" Hussein led hundreds of soldiers and launched a desperate charge towards the southwest corner where the tank defense line was weakest.

They roared and used their bodies to block the flying arrows. Some even grabbed the iron spikes of the chariot with their bare hands to buy opportunities for their companions behind them.

Seeing this, Cao Ren sneered: "A dying struggle!"

The cavalry following closely behind the tank group quickly filled in and resisted the enemy's attack.

The Mercedes chariots immediately began to readjust their formation, changing their original parallel defense line into an inward concave arc, trapping Hussein and others in the center.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had also completed the encirclement at this time, and the black iron cavalry surged in like a tide.

Cao Chun took the lead, pointing his spear at Hussein.

The old general's eyes were wide open and he swung his sword to block, but the impact of the spear made his palms numb.

His horse was tripped in the chaos and he fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could stand up, a spear had already pierced his chest.

Cao Chun reined in his horse, used his arms to lift up Hussein's body, and shouted loudly: "The enemy chief is dead! Surrender quickly!"

With Cao Chun's angry shout, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted.

At the same time, these words were translated into Kushan and shouted by the soldiers who had been prepared.

Upon hearing this, the Kushan army, which was already exhausted and morale collapsed, could no longer hold on. They helplessly put down their weapons and equipment and chose to surrender.

When the battle ended, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the sand, dyeing the battlefield blood red. Of the 20,000 Kushan troops, only less than 5,000 remained.

Cao Cao also lost more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. Compared with the battle situation of both sides, such losses were extremely serious.

Cao Cao looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and sighed sincerely: "The Kushans are indeed a formidable enemy."

If it weren't for the advance planning and taking the lead at every step, considering the circumstances of this battle, it would have been very difficult to defeat Kushan!

The price they paid might be hard for them to bear.
