The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 232 The Battle of Fancheng ([-])

Just after Liu Chan finished setting up the formation, Cao Ren's cavalry had already charged seven or eight hundred feet ahead aggressively, with puffs of smoke and dust rising up behind them, like the exhaust of a jet plane rampaging through the air.

However, looking at the situation in Guan Yu's camp in the distance, after the impact of Cao Ren's cavalry, the chaos there is still there, and no one has been organized to chase Cao Ren's cavalry so far.Liu Chan was even thinking in his heart, maybe after Guan Yu went through the first battle just now, he has no intention of organizing a pursuit now, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Chan sighed inwardly, and quickly cheered up. This is the first time he has personally commanded the army to fight, and he must not be timid because of this.He immediately sent two rangers to Guan Xing to deliver an order that he must not love to fight for a while, and when he saw his phalanx fighting with Cao Ren, he would immediately lead his troops to retreat.

At this time, Cao Ren's cavalry had come [-] feet away, and Liu Chan even vaguely saw the tall Cao Ren in black armor, sitting on a black horse and with a beard.He held a shiny big knife in his hand, and the expression on his face was as cold as a demon god who had just returned from hell!

Cao Ren was surrounded by knights in black armor.The black streamer emitted by their black armors looked extremely cold and frightening at this time of night.

Liu Chan looked at the fierce cavalry in front of him, and felt the huge vibration of their horseshoes trampling the ground as they ran, and even couldn't help but have an illusion in his heart: Is there an earthquake?

Zhao Feng, who was guarding in front of Liu Chan, saw Liu Chan's expression was different, and told him intuitively that this was the first time the prince participated in a battle in person, so he must have felt a little scared in his heart.

He comforted Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy only has a thousand or so people, and we now have 700 people. We have the advantage of numbers. Please feel free to command the battle."

Liu Chan nodded, but did not answer Zhao Feng's words.He then took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mind, but his eyes were fixed on the first row of Cao Ren's cavalry.

When the enemy was close to four hundred feet away, Liu Chan knew that it was time to act.He raised his long sword and shouted loudly behind the formation: "Soldiers, now is the time for everyone to fight to the death. If we can't block the enemy's impact, then the only thing left for us is death!"

The 700 people immediately responded loudly: "Swear to the death to fight for the son!" The voice stopped Liu Yun.

The cavalry on Cao Ren's side was originally aggressive, but now that Liu Chan's army shouted like this, their confidence suddenly became a little shaken.

Then, Liu Chan loudly ordered General Du Peng to lead the mixed array of swordsmen and spearmen in the front six rows of the phalanx, and stop after a distance of fifty feet.The three rows of infantry in the back have to prepare bows and arrows again.Most of those bows and arrows were left behind when the white-eared guards left.

So, when Du Peng led the troops out of the 150-foot formation, Cao Ren's cavalry was already [-] feet away.

Du Peng is now the commander of the front phalanx, but facing Cao Ren's all-black cavalry, he suddenly felt his heart pounding, almost jumping out of his chest!
But he is also a battle-tested veteran, not to mention that the prince now lets him command the [-] soldiers in the six rows in front, which means that the prince has taught himself his own life.Even if I fight to the death now, I must intercept the enemy in front of me!

Du Peng followed Liu Chan's example, took a deep breath, and shouted an order: "The front three rows of long spear teams raise their guns, and the sword players behind them protect their positions!"

Less than a minute after Du Peng's order was conveyed, Liu Chan decided to make a move. He swung his saber down and shouted: "Archers are ready, shoot three volleys!" Then, his long sword swung down immediately. .

All I could hear was a swishing sound that was so sharp that I could feel goosebumps all over my body, and it sounded from behind at the same time.

Liu Chan felt a little numb in the back of his head.He looked up at the sky, and under the gray sky, long black arrows covered the sky and cast a shadow on the ground.

They drew arcs one by one, and the trajectory was so clear, and then the tip of the arrow finally went downward, falling into Cao Ren's black cavalry and disappearing.Then, clusters of blood suddenly shone in the cavalry, as well as the screams of knights and the neighing of war horses!

Due to the obstruction of the smoke and dust, Liu Chan couldn't see how many people were shot and killed by this wave of bows and arrows with his eyes.However, as the sound of rumbling continued, a dozen horses could be seen falling in front of the cavalry, and then tripping over at least thirty horses behind who hadn't stopped in time. Naturally, the knights on the horses didn't know their lives.

Just when Liu Chan was shocked on the spot, the sound of the second and third waves of bows and arrows followed behind him, still causing scenes of bloody disasters on the battlefield.

But Liu Chan's archery team couldn't release the fourth wave of bows and arrows.Because after Cao Ren's cavalry team lost more than 100 people, they finally came to Du Peng's phalanx, and they rushed over like a black tide.

With a bang, Du Peng immediately felt the ground shake.The first platoon of Cao Ren's cavalry came into contact with the spears without fear. Their black horses were pierced through the chest by the spears and they were thrown into the air. However, the powerful impact of the horses almost made the front three The platoon gunmen couldn't stand it.

But after the first wave of collision, followed by the second wave, the third wave, and even the fourth wave...

Immediately, Cao Ren's cavalry team began to spread out along the plain from behind as if the tide rushed across the embankment, and strongly impacted every position of the three rows in front.

Finally, the long spear team in the first three rows could no longer hold back, and was torn a hole in the middle by the cavalry team.However, the impact of Cao Ren's cavalry team has been exhausted at this time, so the next step is to see the fighting of the sword players behind.

The intense and tragic fight just now made Liu Chan feel for the first time that human life is so humble, and war is like a hungry beast, no matter how many lives there are, it can swallow them all. Enter!
Seeing that Liu Chan hadn't given the order yet, Zhao Feng quickly reminded, "My lord, please give the order quickly."

Liu Chan nodded, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "The archers change their weapons. The first row supports the left wing, and the second row supports the right wing. We must not let the opponent's cavalry outflank us!" The men and horses are being used as a reserve team.

As soon as Zhao Feng listened to Liu Chan's order, he had to admire Shizi's sharp eyesight, and he could see the enemy's strategic intention of spreading the attack at a glance.
