"General Qi, the enemy's center army has been defeated."
After hearing the soldier's report, Yu Jin snorted coldly, "Send the order, the center army will advance and completely defeat the enemy."
Following Yu Jin's order, Cao Jun's soldiers, who were already ready to go, immediately shouted and rushed towards Hao Meng's defeated troops.
Tan Cai was sweating profusely and kept shouting, trying to stabilize the soldiers' rout, but the defeat was already done, and it was not easy to stabilize.
What's more, Cao Jun on the opposite side has taken the opportunity to show off his power, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushed over.
Hao Meng, who was watching the battle from a distance, felt his heart suddenly lift. Seeing the retreat of the central army, he suddenly roared, "Hateful."
He originally thought that the opponent's archers were all on the left, preparing to defend against the cavalry, but unexpectedly, they were all arranged in the middle, trying to deal with him.
Although he understood the opponent's style of play, he still had to find a way to deal with the situation. In desperation, Hao Meng could only press 1,000 troops again to stabilize the middle.
At the same time, 300 archers were sent to the left to support Cao, hoping to contain the opponent.
But it was a pity that Yu Jin had already seen through Dai's thoughts and just ordered the left army to resist as much as possible. At the same time, he sent troops to charge along the center again.
There was more and more cold sweat on Hao Meng's head, because he suddenly realized that although this battle started not long ago, he had already lost.
The center, as the main force, had already suffered a defeat. Even if it pressed 1,000 troops and horses, it would be of no avail. The left army was pinned down and was unable to recover.
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Hao Meng secretly regretted that he should not have been impatient, but should have waited for the arrival of the cavalry and then fought together.
This was planned long ago, but he was impatient and wanted to use the influence of the cavalry to defeat the enemy.
It's a pity that he met Yu Jin, one of Cao Cao's five tiger generals.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
Ta-ta-ta!
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Yu Jin's expression changed and his heart suddenly lifted.
Yu Jin was not afraid of the infantry on the opposite side, and even looked down upon him. However, when encountering cavalry, or encountering cavalry in this situation, he was almost certain to lose.
"Let the archers in the center withdraw and support the left."
Zhang Liao rushed to the front. When he saw the opponent's formation, he felt shocked and hurriedly shouted to Cheng Lian beside him.
"Lao Cheng, the enemy wants to use the spear array to deal with us, be careful."
Cheng Lian snorted coldly, "Old Zhang, there's nothing to worry about. You just stand aside and I'll deal with them."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Lian shouted, "Brothers, let them taste the power of our bows and arrows."
"Kill!"
500 cavalrymen, led by Cheng Lian, rushed to the front of the Forbidden Army with the rumble of horse hooves.
"volley."
As the horses passed by, waves of arrows flew down from the sky, and the defenseless officers and soldiers screamed in agony.
When Yu Jin saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted hurriedly, "The pikemen retreated, the shield men came forward, and the archers pressed back."
As Cao's army changed its position, the shield men stepped forward to block the rain of arrows from the sky, and the casualties were reduced.
However, the pikemen retreated, which also gave the Bingzhou cavalry a chance to charge.
Cheng Lian roared angrily, "Brothers, the enemy has retreated, let's charge."
Amidst the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the powerful Bingzhou cavalry brought about waves of hurricanes, like a torrent of steel, pouring into Cao Jun's camp.
Yu Jin was sweating profusely and shouted loudly, "The shield hands spread apart, the spearmen stepped forward, and the archers released arrows."
At this time, the shield bearer has no chance to withdraw. If he withdraws, it will inevitably cause chaos in the spear camp.
If the main force of the pikemen against the cavalry is in chaos, the left army may collapse immediately, and then the Bingzhou cavalry will rush into the camp and the entire army will be defeated.
Therefore, we can only abandon the shield bearers and let them separate from both sides to make way for the spearmen.
The instructions came one after another, and the pikemen hiding behind wanted to rush forward.
But it is a pity that Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao attacked in two directions. It is not that easy for these shield players to separate.
The shield bearer looked at the cavalry rushing over, feeling timid and unable to hide. In desperation, he could only turn around and run away, trying to follow the spearman Chen Ying behind.
As a result, the impact of the shield bearer caused turmoil in the pike camp. At this moment, the Bingzhou cavalry rushed in like a sharp dagger, quickly dividing the pike camp into two halves, and then charged horizontally. The camp collapsed.
"Ahhh!"
The defeat of Cao Jun's left army immediately caused a chain reaction, and the center army also began to panic. As the Bingzhou cavalry charged in depth, the entire Cao Jun camp began to fall into complete chaos within a short time.
"Kill!"
When Hao Meng saw the cavalry coming, he was overjoyed and roared angrily, "The whole army obeys the order. Charge for me and defeat them."
Yu Jin looked at the chaotic array, his face turned a little pale. He knew that he was defeated this time and it was impossible to save the situation. In desperation, he could only lead the last reserve team to face the rushing cavalry. , I hope I can hold on.
As long as the cavalry charge is blocked, the center army, although in disarray, still has a chance to defeat the enemy.
Yu Jin gripped his spear tightly and rushed towards the cavalry, roaring continuously, trying to encourage his own soldiers.
It was Zhang Liao, the commander of the Bingzhou Cavalry, who rushed from the opposite side. When he saw Yu Jin rushing towards him, he roared, "Yu Jin, where are you running!"
Yu Jin knew how powerful Zhang Liao was, but he could only step forward to stop him at this time, otherwise the whole army would be defeated.
"kill!"
Their horses rushed together like the wind, their guns raised simultaneously, and they killed each other in one place.
Although Yu Jin was brave, he was no match for Zhang Liao. After more than ten rounds, he was sweating profusely.
At this moment, another group of cavalry, led by Cheng Lian, also came from the side and killed them.
When Cheng Lian saw the fierce fight between Zhang Liao and Yu Jin, he immediately shouted, "Old Zhang, let me help you."
Although the words sounded nice, they still couldn't change the fact that Cheng Lian wanted to take credit.
Yu Jin was no longer a match for Zhang Liao, and with the addition of the fierce general Cheng Lian, he became even more unmatchable. He blocked the left and right, persisted for three or five rounds, and was knocked off his horse with a sweep from Cheng Lian.
Yu Jin was dizzy from the fall and tried to get up, but Cheng Lian was already pointing a gun at him.
"Don't move. If you move again, I won't leave anyone behind."
General Cao's army was captured, and the soldiers no longer wanted to fight. Those who were far away turned around and ran away, and those who could not run directly knelt down and surrendered.
Half an hour later, the battle ended, and Hao Meng and Zhang Liao teamed up to win.
In addition to the more than 1,000 people who escaped, Cao's army had more than 2,000 prisoners.
Hao Meng saw Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian running towards them and hurriedly handed over his hands, "Thank you two generals."
Zhang Liao returned the courtesy, "You're welcome, we are all our own people and we all deserve it."
Cheng Lian was already a little impatient, "Stop being wordy, these people have been eliminated. Next, we should go to Dong'a."
Zhang Liao nodded, "It's indeed time to go. As long as this enemy force is eliminated, we will win this battle."
Hao Meng nodded and left one man to guard the prisoner. The rest of them, after taking a short rest, ran towards Dong'a with Zhang Liao and others.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
The cavalry led by Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian had been running around for a long time and were already tired. In order to prepare for the next battle, the cavalry, like the infantry, led the horses on the ground.
Cao Hong has a lot of troops left, and the two armies must cooperate to eliminate him. Even if the Bingzhou cavalry rushes over first, there is no guarantee that they will be eliminated.
…
Donga.
Cao Hong stood in the distance, looking at the direction of the city wall with burning eyes. Although it was late at night and he couldn't see clearly, he could see the nearby scene with the light of the torches on the city wall.
Cao Hong's eye sockets were a little red, and his heart must have been as anxious as a river.
If he did not break the city, the consequences would be disastrous. At this time, he regretted a little. He should not come to Dong'a, but should go to Fan County to get supplements first.
Although there are not many troops on the city wall, they are very willful. After attacking for so long, they still hold on.
However, Cao Hong was confident that he could break the city tonight, because even after such a long attack, nothing was achieved.
At least, a lot of supplies on the city wall have been consumed, and by now, there may not be much left.
The soldiers on the city wall began to use the boulders and rolling logs that were raining down like raindrops sparingly. If it was not at the critical moment, they would rather use their knives to grab and chop the soldiers who rushed out. Only at the most critical moment, they would Throw down wood and stones to knock down the soldiers who came up.
This is enough to show that there are not many supplies on the city wall.
Therefore, Cao Hong is very confident that he will break through the city tonight. Although the losses will be heavy, he can no longer care about much at this moment.
Suddenly, Cao Hong's eyes lit up, because several soldiers had already rushed up from a ladder.
However, the defenders on the city wall responded quickly. A large number of soldiers immediately rushed down and drove these Cao soldiers down.
Although it failed this time, it was a good start, which meant that after the first time, there would soon be a second time, until the city was broken.
Cao Hong's guess was correct. A quarter of an hour later, soldiers from Cao's army rushed up to the city wall again. This time, soldiers on two ladders rushed up at the same time. After a hard fight, they managed to regain their footing and began to fight with the defenders on the city wall. The soldiers fought together.
Cao Hong's eyes were bright and his heart was ecstatic.
Is the city about to be destroyed?
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind, and soon, a soldier in a state of embarrassment came running from a distance.
"General Cao, it's bad, General Yu has been defeated."
Upon hearing the news, Cao Hong felt a buzz in his head, and then roared, "What did you say?"
"The soldiers and horses led by General Yu have been defeated, and the soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's army are coming here."
"What?"
Big beads of sweat flowed down Cao Hong's cheeks, and a chill rose in his heart.
Yu Jin's troops were defeated, and Lu Bu's army was already coming.
what to do?
Cao Hong turned his head and looked at the city wall. At this moment, the soldiers of Cao's army who rushed up were fighting fiercely with the soldiers of Lu Bu's army. The two sides refused to give in and kept roaring and fighting.
The city wall here is about to be breached, but Lu Bu's army is coming?
Cao Hong secretly blamed Yu Jin for his futility. Even if he persisted for one more hour, he might have broken through the city and the situation would be different immediately.
But now, what to do?
Just give up?
What a pity. The city will soon be captured. If we give up like this, we will never have another chance.
Thinking of this, Cao Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How far is Lu Bu's army from us?"
"About twenty miles or so."
"More than twenty miles."
Cao Hong murmured to himself, his face full of ferocity, and he suddenly roared.
"Send the order, the whole army attacks the city as fast as possible, and capture the city for me before the enemy comes over."
Cao Hong knew very well that this was his last chance and wanted to take a gamble!
As long as the city is breached and the gate is closed, even if Lu Bu's army rushes over, they can remain invincible with the defense of the city wall.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Following Cao Hong's order, countless Cao Jun soldiers rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the city wall.
On the city wall.
Although Gao Shun remained calm, his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Brothers, knock them down, our reinforcements will be here soon."
Gao Shun knew that he could no longer issue mandatory orders because it would be of no use and might cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.
The most effective way now is to let everyone see hope. They know that reinforcements are coming, which is a hundred times better than a forced order.
Sure enough, after everyone heard Gao Shun's words, their morale immediately rose, and they even beat the Cao soldiers who rushed up the city wall to the edge of the city wall.
But it is a pity that Cao Hong has given the final charge order, and all the soldiers of Cao's army are like a tide, swarming towards the city wall.
The soldiers of Cao's army under the city wall were like countless ants, gathering together. After arriving at the edge of the city, they immediately swarmed up the ladder and quickly appeared on the city wall.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Facing so many Cao Jun soldiers, Gao Shun immediately waved his sword, rushed into the enemy camp, and started fighting.
At this moment, what everyone is fighting for is persistence. As long as you persist, victory is right in front of you.
But if you don't persist, failure will only happen in an instant.
The soldiers on the city wall kept shouting, trying to break through the enemy's defense. Countless soldiers were cut down to the ground, and were soon trampled under countless feet.
The screams and fighting sounds gathered together to form the melody of war on the city wall.
After all, the number of Cao's troops was large. At first, the troops and horses led by Gao Shun could hold on. However, as more and more Cao Jun's soldiers rushed forward, the troops and horses led by Gao Shun could no longer hold on and began to retreat gradually.
But despite this, Gao Shun and the soldiers still gritted their teeth and persisted.
Thanks to the fact that Gao Shun's soldiers and horses are trapped in the camp, they have full endurance and firm will. Even if they are trapped in the enemy's thousands of troops, they will never retreat.
Gao Shun watched his soldiers fall one by one, his eyes were red with anger, and the sword in his hand danced like a windmill, constantly slashing at the Cao soldiers who were rushing over, trying to stabilize the formation.
But with his own strength, how could he possibly save the situation?
Although they tried their best to resist, Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were still beaten back steadily, and they were gradually beaten down the stairs going down the city wall.
