The arrow shaft from the crossbow shot into the cavalry.
The iron piece on the tip of the arrow immediately broke the bodies of many horses and knights, and countless people fell down. The scene was bloody, and the sound of wailing and neighing of horses and men continued to echo.
The cavalry in front were attacked, some fell down, and some stopped in a hurry.
The people at the back didn't know what was going on, so they rushed forward one after another, and the rear bumped into the front. The scene seemed even more chaotic, and they were so crowded that they couldn't run.
This is the most terrifying thing about cavalry combat.
The cavalry focuses on mobility, is fast, and can attack. If it cannot run, it will basically be beaten.
Now Yuan Shao's cavalry is in this state.
Loading arrows into the bed crossbow is very troublesome.
Because the bowstring is so large, several people need to turn the winch at the same time to pull the string apart and then equip the arrow shaft.
After Cao Hong fired one round of the crossbow, he had no intention of firing the second round and said, "Zihe, why don't you tiger and leopard cavalry take action?"
Cao Chun: "..."
You have tortured Yuan Shao's cavalry into this state.
If I start now, the killing is not satisfying enough!
"kill!"
However, Cao Chun still ordered the attack.
The tiger and leopard cavalry rushed over like wolves and tigers, pounced on Yuan Shao's cavalry, and brutally killed them.
Yuan Shao's cavalry were pushed to the ground and tortured.
After killing many people, they could finally start running again.
However, it is useless no matter how fast I run.
Because the equipment was not good, he was still beaten by tigers and leopards.
Cao Jun's equipment was many versions ahead of the big man's, as well as stirrups and saddles. Under the sharp blade of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Yuan Jun's cavalry could really only be brutally killed, or chased and killed.
The cavalry fight quickly came to an end.
The infantry fighting also reached a fever pitch.
Zhang Liolejin and the others saw that Yuan Jun's cavalry was blocked by the tiger and leopard cavalry, so they went directly to Yuan Jun's camp. Yuan Shao had to send people to continue blocking the rear.
However, Yuan Jun's soldiers no longer had the will to fight.
To put it simply, they didn't want to fight, and they couldn't stop the impact of Cao Jun's cavalry. They were quickly killed indiscriminately, and they could only stop Cao Jun for a while.
Not long after blocking, Yuan Jun retreated steadily.
The commander of Cao's army drove straight in and entered Yuan Shao's camp.
At this time, Yuan Shao had already abandoned the military camp, packed up the remaining soldiers, and fled back in the direction of Baima in embarrassment, preparing to cross the river again.
"Let's go!"
Yuan Shao never dreamed that he would be chased and beaten by Cao Cao one day.
The little brother who used to follow him is now far more powerful than his big brother. The gap is so big that it is difficult or even impossible for him to accept it.
Now the only option is to run away with all his might.
"Ten thousand more people will come and go back to cut off the queen."
Yuan Shao would not pity the lives of ordinary soldiers. He only wanted to escape by himself. If ordinary soldiers died, they would die. As long as they could escape, they could use their lives to block Cao Jun's pursuit.
"Cao Ahao!"
"Just wait for me!"
"I will settle this account with you sooner or later. Let's go!"
Yuan Shao cursed angrily, this battle was embarrassing and he was thrown into his grandma's house.
The entire Han Dynasty was watching the battle in Guandu.
Most people in the world believe that Yuan Shao's march south is unstoppable and he will definitely crush Cao Cao, replace Cao Cao and take away the emperor. If he takes the next step, Yuan will probably proclaim himself emperor.
The second Zhong emperor is about to appear.
But no one could have imagined that Yuan Shao would collapse like this after stretching his crotch.
Where does this put his face?
"Cao Amo, wait for me to come back!"
Yuan Shao fled in embarrassment, not forgetting to curse Cao Cao occasionally.
With his pride, he cannot accept failure, but now he has truly failed.
They managed to escape to Baima.
At this time, Ju Yi also came back.
Ju Yi originally wanted to go back to the camp, but received news from the scouts that Yuan Shao had run away and the camp could not be defended, so he had no choice but to go back to Baima.
Finally, I met Yuan Shao outside Baima.
"My lord, Cao Jun's weapons are really too strong."
"Their swords can easily cut off our shields and people."
"If our sword collides with Cao Jun's sword, the one that will be broken must be ours."
Ju Yi immediately reported what happened in Wuchao.
They fought several times with Cao Cao.
They had known for a long time how terrible Cao Cao's weapons were, but apart from the initial discussion, no one seemed to care, and they no longer thought of ways to deal with it. This made them lack corresponding judgment, and they didn't even know what Cao Cao's overall strength was. Accurate cognition.
"Lord, our failure lies not in our strength but in our weapons."
"Cao Cao is cunning and has a back-up plan. He deserves to die!"
When Guo Tu heard this, he immediately helped Yuan Shao think of the reasons for his failure.
Yuan Shao was most unwilling to admit that he was not as capable as Cao Cao.
But if the weapons are inferior, it will be much easier to accept. They understand Yuan Shao's mind very well.
"Damn Cao Ahao!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth.
I never imagined that things would develop like this.
"Lord!"
Shen Pei said: "We should retreat first, gather all the craftsmen in Hebei, improve the forging methods, build stronger weapons, and then decide the outcome with Cao Cao. Without the advantage of weapons, Cao Cao will definitely lose!"
"you're right."
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Go back, let's go back now and cross the river!"
"Cross the river!"
There are also many ferries on the river bank.
The soldiers listened to Yuan Shao's order and brought the ferries one after another.
Go back and regroup to fight Cao Cao again.
It is much easier to cross the river back now than when we came here.
Because there were too many people when we came, when we returned, many people died fighting and surrendered, so at least half of the people were missing.
When Yuan Shao crossed the river, Cao Hong and his infantry completely crushed Yuan Shao's military camp and captured a lot of various supplies that Yuan Shao had no time to take away.
In addition, many Hebei soldiers dropped their weapons and expressed their willingness to surrender.
Cao Hong couldn't decide whether to accept the surrender or not, so he could only ask someone to go back and tell Cao Cao, and temporarily control those who surrendered.
"Yuan Shao has escaped."
Xia Houjie ran back and said, "According to the scouts' information, he has already crossed the river at Baima."
Cao Ren let go of his hand, which was a little tired from cutting people, and said: "Yuan Shao can't escape even after crossing the river. Should we pursue him again?"
Xia Houyuan raised his head and looked north and said: "Of course we should chase him, but we only need to catch up to the White Horse. We don't have enough ferries to cross the river. Yuan Shao ran in a hurry, so there should be a lot of supplies left behind at the White Horse."
When they heard that there were still supplies, the officers and soldiers' eyes lit up.
Once the supplies are obtained, they belong to them and do not need to be handed over.
"Then chase after him."
Xiahou Dun rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "After chasing the white horse, we will recover the white horse first and then wait for the order from the elder brother."
Several of their generals discussed for a while and decided to continue the pursuit. Cao Jun soon arrived at Baima.
Some of Yuan Shao's soldiers who were too late to cross the river saw this and took up arms to resist, but they soon found that they could not fight, and finally dropped their weapons and surrendered.
This was the case with White Horse, who was beaten back by Cao Jun.
They looked towards the other side of the river and saw hundreds of ferries going further and further away. Even if they could catch up now, it was too late.
