Cao Cao's army of more than 10,000 men was surrounded by 60,000 Liao troops and was brutally killed. By this time, more than half of them had died in the battle.
That is to say, Lao Cao's micro-managing skills were really clever, and he made many changes to the ordinary circular formation. The soldiers rushed back and forth, twists and turns, and could not stop for a moment, so they did not pay attention to the casualties around them.
Otherwise, the killing would have been so miserable, and given the quality of these soldiers, they would have been defeated long ago.
At the end of the battle, even Lao Cao felt that he could not hold on, so he had to turn into a small formation of seven stars worshiping the moon: Wang Wende, Zhang Jun, Shi Wengong, Zhang Bofen, Zhang Zhongxiong, Luo Yanqing, and Lao Cao himself, each received six or seven hundred People form seven stars, rotating to cover the middle moon formation.
The leader of the Moon Formation is none other than "Yizhangqing" Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang had killed countless Liao soldiers with her two swords. She was a woman after all, and her strength was not as strong as that of a man. She was feeling dizzy when she suddenly realized that all the enemies on all sides were gone. After staying for a while, she finally saw the situation clearly: it was Cao Cao's seven generals. He spun around and protected himself in the middle.
Hu Sanniang let out a low cry of "Ah", tears of love fell down her face, and she couldn't help but think of old Cao Bing Chen Zhengzhou, explaining the military aircraft scene——
"Before leaving Tongguan in the west, I told Lei Heng two things. The first was to ask King Chao Tian to rectify his troops and be on the alert. As soon as there was a warning signal from the north, troops would be dispatched immediately. The second was to ask my brother to use the troops he had practiced for several years in various states. The officers and soldiers all went to Mangdang Mountain to lurk, waiting for me to finish the war in the northwest and turn around to capture Bianliang, that's when I could use him."
At that time, Lao Cao was playing with a handful of chess pieces in his hand and talking eloquently: "Now I am sending Dai Zong to deliver a message, and we have agreed to take Bianjing together in five days. It's just that they are hundreds of miles apart, and communication is inconvenient after all. What I want here is What I did was to lure most of the Liao army into a tight trap, and wait for my brother to arrive, then attack and destroy them with one strike."
He put down the chess pieces one by one and performed the rotation of the formation: "Once the Liao army comes out in a big way, we will support it with a round formation. When we can't hold it anymore, we will turn to the seven-star moon worship formation. If it is still difficult to hold up, we will turn to the six-flower formation." The Core Formation, then the Five Tigers Protecting the Mountain Formation, and if it fails, the Four Elephants Formation, and the Three Talents Formation. In short, as long as there is a breath, we have to fight to the end - until Erlang comes to kill, all the back-ups can be launched together! This Bianliang City has been named Wu since then!"
According to Lao Cao's interpretation that day, as the coach, he is the moon with seven stars worshiping the moon, the pistil with six flowers sprouting, and the mountain protected by five tigers... always being protected in the middle.
Unexpectedly, today's round formation collapsed and the formation was changed for the first time. Lao Cao somehow messed with it and actually moved her Hu Sanniang to the middle.
Even a tiger girl like Hu Sanniang, in this situation, couldn't help but feel drunk and full of tenderness.
She has had nothing to do in the past few years, and often invites Master Li to talk about ancient times. She knows that people who have achieved great things since ancient times often have a cold and ruthless side——
For example, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty abandoned his wife and children, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty bestowed a jade ring and white silk... It was my husband who said in his previous life, "I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." speech?
However, today, as the commander-in-chief, Lao Cao was supposed to be in charge of the central army, but he threw himself into the killing field and risked his own life for the sake of his wife. His deep affection and longing for her made Sanniang crazy. It is truly as a genius of later generations said: A ruthless person may not be a true hero, and a pity for a son is not a husband.
He had already secretly made up his mind and dismissed Jiao Ting from his position as secret agent.
Lao Cao was short in stature, and his red sword was particularly eye-catching. Yelu Dashi saw it at a glance and was overjoyed. He pointed and said, "Follow me to kill this beast!" Then he led more than a thousand elite confidants and fought hard to kill the general.
Unexpectedly, the seven stars in Lao Cao's carriage moved around, which was mysterious. When the big stone came to kill him, where was there any sign of Lao Cao? But I saw a veteran with a fluttering white beard and a steel gun in his hand, panting while fighting.
Yelu Dashi couldn't help but get anxious and shouted: "Old man Wu, who are you? Where is Wu Dalang!"
The veteran killed a head with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. His momentum remained unabated, he swung his gun and said with a smile: "Bottles and cans also have two ears! You little Khitan puppy, have you ever heard that we and other ten-jiedushi envoys... Is it General Wang Wende who has made great achievements and become famous all over the world?"
Yelu Dashi was well versed in everything in the Southern Dynasty. Since he conquered the Song Dynasty, he had carefully studied the civil and military resumes of famous people in the Song Dynasty. When he heard this, he sneered: "You are the only one who killed me!"
It turns out that Wang Wende lost his father when he was young and remarried with his mother. Unexpectedly, he killed his stepfather by mistake due to a misunderstanding. He was too embarrassed to face his mother, so he fled to the end of the world and became a bandit. However, he regretted it for the rest of his life.
Now that the scar in his heart was touched, Wang Wende was furious, his old face turned red and he cursed: "Khitan thieves, slaves of the subjugated country, and poor women have been slept with by Jin men tens of thousands of times, and they threw themselves into the Yellow River instead of committing suicide. How dare you humiliate me?" I!"
When Yelu Dashi heard this, he was also furious and shouted: "Old man, you are so venomous, I will send you to see your late father!"
After saying that, he swung his sword to kill, Wang Wende used his spear to parry, and each of them showed their skills, and the soldiers under his command were also killed.
Yelu Dashi was very skilled in martial arts and killed Wang Wende until he could not move an inch. The seven-star formations were linked to each other. This side was stagnant for a while, and all the six formations behind him were implicated.
Wang Wende also knew this, wishing he could devour the enemy general with one blow, and his spear became more and more urgent. However, after all, he was old, and after the fierce battle ahead, how much energy could he have left?
If he relied on his life experience to fight, Yelu Dashi would be at a loss for a while, but he would focus on the overall situation and fight with all his strength. His shortcomings were immediately revealed. Within a few moves, his marksmanship showed flaws. Yelu Dashi's face flashed with a stern look, and he raised his sword. Pushing away Wang Wende's spear, he stabbed it, and the tip of the knife went straight into Lao Jiedu's heart.
Wang Wende screamed and fell from his horse. Hundreds of troops under his command were killed by the Liao army in an instant.
Lao Cao saw that something was not going well here, so he quickly shrunk his formation again and turned into a six-flower spitting formation. The situation became more and more dangerous.
At this moment, a faint shout was heard: "Brother Wu, I'm here as a Tieniu!"
Lao Cao's ears twitched, he turned his hand and chopped down a Liao soldier. He laughed loudly, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the conch with all his strength: Dudu——
With a loud and long sound, General Shi Wengong, who was fighting hard, all cheered up and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, the dogs of Liao are here today!"
Several people, each with their own courage, rushed into the Liao army's formation. When the Liao army was about to close the net unexpectedly, the fish suddenly started to struggle, and there was a sudden chaos.
Yelu Chun's heart trembled, and he quickly stood up and looked to the southeast. He saw five thousand Xi troops, which had collapsed into a ball of scattered sand at some point. Countless Song troops were rushing here to kill like flying horses. He couldn't help shouting: "Wu Yanguang missed my important event!"
Xiao Qian turned to the side, his face was livid, and he shouted in a hissing voice: "The outcome is not yet clear, your Majesty, please don't lose your ambition! Go and stop this Qian Song army."
With the banner of King Xi of the Six Tribes, Marshal of the Army and Horses, he waved, and with more than 10,000 men, he forcibly left the formation and fought out, standing in front of Wu Song's people. With a command, countless spears stood up like a forest.
Seeing the Liao people coming to meet him, Wu Song missed his brother in his heart and his whole body was on fire. Just as he was about to ride his horse into the formation, he heard Song Jiang shouting from behind: "Brothers, stop fighting! Transform into two dragons and come out of the water formation, let the infantry kill him." Partner!"
Wu Song suddenly realized and shouted: "Change the formation! Two dragons come out of the water!"
His voice was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and it was easier to use than a speaker. He should first pull the reins and go to the right.
Although Lu Junyi was slow in some matters, his reaction was surprisingly quick when he was attacking. He also pulled the horse's head sharply and walked to the left.
A group of soldiers followed the two of them, and thousands of cavalry rushed up the mountain like water. They split into two groups, almost following Xiao Qian's formation, and turned around.
This change of formation, which was originally rushed, turned out to be extremely smooth. Xiao Qian was shocked when he saw it, and said in a voiceless voice: "There are such elites in the Song army?"
Just as they were waiting to change formations to pursue, they saw the cavalry stepping up into the smoke and dust, and heard a loud roar: "Hahaha, what a Xiaoyi Heisaburo, isn't the meat coming?"
Before he finished speaking, a naked man wore an iron helmet and iron fish scales to cover his heart, revealing a body of ghostly black flesh. He was holding two large axes with half-wheel wheels, and a man silently shed tears on his crotch. The stick swept out like a black wind.
But when he saw the big man staring with a pair of red eyes, he shouted loudly: "You sons of Liao, Grandpa Black Whirlwind will treat you to an axe!"
He took a step and twisted his body and made a big jump. The two big axes were swung into a circle, clicking, clicking, clicking, cutting off dozens of spears, leaping up, using a "wild boar hitting a tiger" move, and crashed into Xiao Qian's formation. Ten Liao soldiers pushed and stumbled, and they all fell into a ball. However, this big man jumped up like a carp, swung his axe, and chopped the heads randomly.
Xiao Qian's eyes shrank, knowing that such a brute force general could best break through a chaotic battle, he quickly pointed his sword: "Stop panic, all troops, work together to surround and kill him!"
Before he finished speaking, more than ten heroes were seen running out like tigers, shouting: "Our brothers are here, who are you trying to surround and kill, you little dog?"
Then they saw Tao Zongwang, the "Nine-tailed Turtle", turning his big shovel, and Tang Long, the "Golden Leopard", wielding the golden melon hammer. Each of them broke off a piece of spear and dug two more gaps in the Liao formation.
"Sickness Guansuo" Yang Xiong roared, his sword as sharp as the wind, killing people randomly, "Jin Baozi" Yang Lin followed closely behind, and with a flick of the pen barrel and gun, he stabbed everyone in the throat!
There are also two big bugs, Li Yun, the "Blue-Eyed Tiger" and Xue Yong, the "Sick Big Bug", shouting to kill the enemy, and Han Polong, the "Sword of Righteousness", Kong Ming, the "Mao Tou Xing", Kong Liang, the "Only Mars", and "Golden Eye Biao". Shi En, "White-faced Prince" Zheng Tianshou, "Xiao Zhelan" Mu Chun, and "Iron Fan" Song Qing followed closely behind.
The person commanding in the middle is Xiao Jiasui, the "Qin Xin Jian Gu Gu". There are a total of fifteen heroes, each showing their skills and killing in all directions. It's really——
The simple sword dances like falling snow, and the iron rod swings open like smoke. The big shovel smashes all the people, and the golden hammer moves the head and lifts it off!
Behind them, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, each wearing iron armor, looked like Shura appearing in the world, shouting and fighting out of the dust in the sky.
Li Kui's strides were like flying, his two axes were like meat grinders. He charged straight ahead, followed by everyone behind him. The momentum was fierce, there were many people, and the soldiers were sharp. How could Xiao Qian's more than 10,000 Liao army stop him? Now the formation was broken up and all the armies were fighting on their own, making it more and more difficult for them to act like wolves and tigers.
Xiao Qian saw something bad and was frightened, so he wanted to leave first. Xiao Jiasui had never killed anyone since he entered the battle, and his eyes had been fixed on the banner of King Xi of the Six Divisions. Now he saw that the leader of the banner was trying to escape, how could he tolerate it? He ran a few steps and grabbed Tao Zongwang: "Nine-tailed turtle! Give me a ride!"
Although Tao Zongwang's martial arts was not superb, his strength was astonishing. Hearing Xiao Jiasui's meaning, he was horrified and said, "Brother, why take such a risk?"
Xiao Jiasui laughed and said: "When a real man is alive, he will meet his master and promise it whether he will live or die! Brother, don't act like a child and look down on me!"
Tao Zongwang gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I'll just send my brother there."
He put the shovel on the ground. Xiao Jiasui stood on the shovel in one step. Tao Zongwang put the shovel on his shoulders, looked at the position, and shouted: "Get up!"
After exerting all his strength, he pulled the shovel suddenly and Xiao Jiasui took the opportunity to jump forward. The two forces combined into one force and shot Xiao Jiasui out like a stone cannon.
Xiao Jiasui flew seven or eight feet in the air like a cloud and mist. He stretched out his foot and stepped directly into the neck of a Liao soldier. This relieved the strength, rolled over on the ground, and jumped up. Xiao Qian just Two feet away!
Xiao Jiasui shouted: "King Wunaxi! Xiao Jiasui is here in Jingnan, where are you going?"
Xiao Qian turned around and said ferociously: "The Nanman is so brave! He came here to catch me alone. I'm afraid it was easy for you to come but hard to go! Kill him!"
Hundreds of guards under his command rushed at him from all sides, but Xiao Jiasui did not resist, jumped up, and flew out of the ancestral sword in his hand!
But when he saw a flash of cold light, the knife came like a dragon, Xiao Qian was horrified. When he was about to dodge, he stabbed the knife deeply into his shoulder blade. He screamed, turned over and fell off his horse.
Xiao Jiasui laughed and fell to the ground. When his troops were frightened, he kicked his left and right feet in a series to grab a little space. He jumped into the arms of a Liao soldier and used his bare hands to grab his sword and shield.
At this time, weapons were coming from all directions. Xiao Jiasui turned around like a whirlwind, knocked open his shield, and killed two Liao soldiers with two swords.
When Li Kui saw Xiao Jiasui flying into the crowd, he was shocked and said: "This brother is usually taciturn and smiling, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless in battle! No, how can we see him as the enemy alone? Tieniu is going to save him. .”
With a loud shout, his huge body dwarfed, and he used the technique Wu Song taught him. He propped up his knees and kicked on the soles of his feet, half-kneeling, and jumped into the crowd like a big snake. Two axes whizzed past, leaving only halflings behind. .
The battle on the infantry side was a firestorm. The cavalry turned into two dragons and bypassed Xiao Gan's headquarters. They rushed straight into the Liao army's formation. Wu Song danced with his halberds, setting off a huge wave of blood, and shouted: "Brother, Where are you? Wu Er is here!"
Lu Junyi also rode his horse and danced with his spear, fighting straight through a bloody alley, and shouted: "Brother, here comes the little brother!"
Behind them were Zong Yuner, Yang Zaixing, Fang Xuedu, Fang Baihua, Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Su Ding, Ou Peng, Li Zhong, Liu Yuan, Zhu Jing, Teng Kan, Teng Shu, Yuan Lang, and Ma Lin. Generals , Song Jiang, Deng Fei, and Niu Gao went to kill them one by one. Although there were only a few thousand cavalry, they instantly tore the Liao army into several groups.
Song Jiang shouted with a high voice: "Brother, we and the thirty-six brothers will arrive here today and follow my brother to defeat the Liao Kingdom!"
In the crowd, Cao Cao turned around and laughed, and the laughter was full of heroism: "Brothers, well done! Don't let this Liao dog go back to the city alone!"
