A large number of Cao's cavalry attacked, and even if there were iron caltrops everywhere, they could not stop them. Weapons like caltrops could only disrupt the cavalry's offensive. It is simply unrealistic to rely on caltrops to kill Cao's army on a large scale.
Ma Chao rushed forward with a tiger-headed golden gun. When he saw the erect shield, he shot it.
clang! !
The barrel of the gun struck the shield.
Peiran's power exploded, and the Wu Jun soldier holding the shield trembled, but he held on and resisted the thunderous blow. The moment the shield soldiers blocked it, the surrounding soldiers holding spears quickly drew their guns.
call out! call out! !
Cold spears came out one after another and stabbed at Ma Chao under the wind and snow.
Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged, and he swiped the tiger-headed golden spear, and kept swinging away the spear. Just a clanging sound was heard, and the cold spears thrust out were swung away. Ma Chao attacked again and stabbed out with lightning speed.
The spear was extremely tricky, as fast as lightning, piercing directly into the gap in the shield and into the body of a spearman.
The tiger-headed golden gun was drawn out, bringing out a cloud of blood.
Ma Chao attacked quickly, intending to break through the defense line of the spear formation, but he had just torn a gap, and the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear stabbed another soldier, trying to further tear the defense line, but the big spear was tightly grasped by the opponent.
Ma Chao was almost injured when other spears struck him. Thanks to all his strength, he was able to withdraw the spear. Even so, his horse was stabbed by the spear of the spear array.
Ma Chao fell off his horse and charged with another horse.
However, Ma Chao still failed to break through.
The cavalry are very powerful, but when faced with a hedgehog-like spear formation, they can only be blinded.
The best way is to have a cavalry formation with a thousand spears. When the spear formation came to attack, the cavalry would retreat further and shoot from a distance with bows and arrows. If the spear formation wants to withdraw, the cavalry will further cover up the attack and continue to shoot with bows and arrows.
It lasts for a period of time, consuming the physical strength and energy of the spear formation soldiers, and finally they can be harvested.
It's a pity that Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao don't have enough time and energy to delay. The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be to them. Ma Chao and Xiahou Dun attacked fiercely, but the defense with a thousand spears remained impregnable.
As a result, Ma Chao and Xiahou Dun were a little anxious.
When Lu Xuan saw this scene, his expression was relaxed and calm, without any urgency. He estimated the time, and as the fighting continued, a quarter of an hour had passed. Lu Xuan allowed the army to defend. Although the soldiers in the spear array suffered losses, the soldiers died in the battle and were replaced by spearmen.
Time flies, and another two quarters of an hour passes in the blink of an eye.
Lu Xuan had already come out of the carriage and stood on the shaft to watch the battle. He was condescending and saw a large number of infantry appearing in the rear in the distance.
Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao's main infantry arrived.
Most of the infantry entered the battlefield and began to attack fiercely. As for the infantry leader, General Jin, temporarily raided the formation in the rear, responsible for blocking Taishi Ci's reinforcements that were about to kill, and preventing Taishi Ci from affecting Cao's army to encircle and kill Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan saw Cao Jun's large-scale attack, motionless as a mountain, and still defended with all his strength.
However, Xiahou Dun became excited. He raised his spear and rode his horse to attack fiercely, saying loudly: "Surround us and eat away at Lu Xuan's spearmen. If you kill Lu Xuan, you will be rewarded with thousands of gold and be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households."
"Kill Lu Xuan."
Xiahou Dun further ordered loudly.
Ma Chao echoed.
Countless Cao Jun infantry came up, followed by the cavalry, and besieged Lu Xuan's spear formation.
The spear formation can block the cavalry charge to the greatest extent. Facing a large number of infantry, these Cao Jun infantry are like ants, constantly attacking, which puts more and more pressure on Lu Xuan's side, and the casualties of the spearmen also increase.
"Hold, defend with all your strength."
"Everyone, hold still."
Lu Xuan gave the order at the center of the military formation and shouted: "Tai Shici's army is on its way. When the reinforcements arrive, we can solve the threat of Xiahou Dun and destroy Xiahou Dun."
"The current defense is for the next counterattack and must be defended."
"The king is here and will never retreat."
"Everyone fights to the death. If the soldier dies, the corps commander will take over. If the corps commander dies, the commander will take over. Even if we are down to the last man, I will still be there."
Lu Xuan's voice echoed in the center.
He encouraged his soldiers and asked the soldiers in the spear formation to defend. Even though Cao Jun's attack resulted in heavy casualties among soldiers, it was all worth it to delay Xiahou Dun.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Endless pressure was pressing down, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, but these thousand spearmen remained unmoved.
When the plan was first drawn up to arrange Taishi Ci's mission, Taishi Ci mentioned that he hoped that Lu Xuan would not put himself in danger and could let Taishi Ci pretend to be Lu Xuan. But Lu Xuan refused and adopted the current plan against all opinions.
Only in this way will Xiahou Dun head straight towards Lu Xuan. Only in this way can the military formation be stabilized.
In short, Lu Xuan could not count Xiahou Dun dead unless he took risks. Only if Lu Xuan puts himself in danger can Xiahou Dun attack at all costs to destroy Lu Xuan. This is the opportunity to win.
"Attack and kill Lu Xuan."
"Kill me!"
Xiahou Dun kept giving orders.
He fought continuously but failed to break through. He was so angry that his eyes widened with murderous intent. Seeing Lu Xuan right in front of him, he saw Zhou Yu dying. As long as Lu Xuan is killed, the situation of Qin and Wu will change.
There are countless capable people in Lu Xuan's country of Wu. These people only recognize Lu Xuan and are only controlled and arranged by Lu Xuan. As long as Lu Xuan dies and there is no leader, the Wu Kingdom will naturally collapse.
Killing Lu Xuan is the only shortcut.
Xiahou Dun kept shouting loudly, and the cavalry and infantry charged fiercely, so that Lu Xuan's army was harvested and eaten away bit by bit, and the number of people was visibly reduced.
Xiahou Dun's expression became more and more urgent. When he was chasing Lu Xuan, he received news from the sentinel that Taishi Ci sent troops to kill him. Therefore, he must destroy Lu Xuan's army before Tai Shici's elites come to kill him.
"Kill Cao's army and kill Xiahou Dun.
When Xiahou Dun was attacking fiercely, suddenly there were shouts from far behind.
Taishi Ci's army came to kill him.
"General Xiahou, Taishi Ci's army is too strong, especially the trapped camp, which is invincible. Our defense line cannot hold it at all."
Yu Jin ran back.
Xiahou Dun looked at the panicked Yu Jin and secretly cursed Yu Jin for being a waste. The eagerness on his face disappeared, and a deep disappointment flashed in his eyes.
The chance to kill Lu Xuan is gone!
Next, Taishi Ci's army came, and they fought against Taishi Ci's army.
What follows is a melee.
Xiahou Dun was also a brave and skilled man. Without any fear, he loudly ordered a fierce attack. While attacking Lu Xuan, he further engaged Tai Shici's army. On the other side, Lu Xuan had a smile on his face when he got the news that Tai Shi Ci was coming to kill him.
coming!
Reinforcements have finally arrived!
It's just that Xiahou Dun thought that Taishi Ci could fight in a melee when he came to kill him, so he was totally wrong.
Xiahou Dun had no chance.
Lu Xuan directly jumped on his horse, mounted a horse, unsheathed his sword, and said loudly: "Everyone shouts, Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead, I faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
"Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead. He faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
Lu Xuan shouted again.
"Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu is not dead. He faked his death to lure you into sending troops."
shouted the guarding pikemen.
The sound gradually became uniform from noisy. The army who followed Taishi Ci to kill heard the shouting from a distance and started shouting too. On the battlefield, news that Zhou Yu faked his death to lure Xiahou Dun to send troops was constantly echoing.
Xiahou Dun looked shocked, with an incredible look on his rough cheeks.
how come?
How could Zhou Yu still be alive?
