Chapter [257] War Is Anxious
On the frontal battlefield, the 100,000 Qin army firmly held the upper hand, pressing down on the 50,000 coalition army, but the 50,000 coalition army was quite capable, especially seeing the reinforcements coming, and it was no lie to the Qin army.
On the cavalry battlefield, the distance between the cavalry of the Qin army and the cavalry of Youzhou is rapidly closing.
Fang Tian's painted halberd shrank suddenly in his hand, Lu Bu tucked it around his waist, and then took the Qianjun Bow hanging from the back of the saddle in his hand.
Without Lu Bu's order, the cavalry of the Qin Army behind saw Lu Bu's movement and took out their bows and arrows one after another.
"Wind!!!" Lu Bu roared loudly.
The cavalry of the Qin Army stepped steadily on the stirrups, used the saddle to control the balance of the body, and completed a series of actions of bowing and archery on the high-speed bumping horseback.
On the other hand, the Youzhou cavalry, although they fought against the Hu people at the border all the year round, and their horsemanship skills were also good, but in front of physical plug-ins like stirrups and saddles, their riding and shooting skills were still not comparable to those of the Qin army.
Before the two families came into contact, the cavalry of the Qin army gave the cavalry of Youzhou a dismount, and kept throwing arrows head-on.
The Youzhou cavalry also tried to fight back with their bows, but with little success.
Because of the existence of stirrups, the cavalry of the Qin Army can be more flexible on horseback. For example, most of the cavalry of the Qin Army can play tricks such as hiding in the belly of the horse.
Seeing that the arrows could not be dodged, he just burrowed under the horse's belly and could easily dodge the arrows.
"kill!!!"
With a loud roar, Lu Bu took advantage of the speed of the red rabbit horse and rushed into the Youzhou cavalry formation first.
"Clang."
The Qingzhi sword was unsheathed from his waist, with the Qingzhi sword in his left hand and Fang Tian's halberd in his right hand, Lu Bu would kill wherever there were many people, leaving a lot of corpses wherever he passed, no matter how many Youzhou cavalrymen were
No one is the enemy of Lu and Bu.
With the blessing of one mind, two tasks and left and right fighting, Lu Bu's killing efficiency doubled directly, and his hands never stopped.
Lu Bu is the humanoid nuclear weapon on the battlefield, the eternal arrow of Qin Jun's front arrow.
After Lu Bu tore a hole in the Youzhou cavalry, the Qin cavalry behind them also chased up, and rushed in along the hole that Lu Bu tore, and the Youzhou cavalry was beaten and retreated steadily.
Originally, there were no generals in Hebei, and now no one can stop Lu Bu, so he can only let Lu Bu rush left and right in the formation, as if entering the land of no one.
The reinforcements following behind the Youzhou cavalry had already rushed over. Lu Bu took a rough look at the number, and it was around 30,000.
Cao Cao still has 20,000 troops staying in Xu County, and it is not surprising that Shao has 30,000 troops staying in the city.
However, the infantry reinforcements who rushed over had to face a problem, whether to rescue the Youzhou cavalry in front of them nearby, or to rescue Yuan Shao in the distance.
"Leave me alone! I'm dragging the cavalry of the Qin Army to rescue Ah Weng!" Yuan Xi shouted loudly at Yuan Shang.
"Second brother, hold on, I'll save you after I've saved Ah Weng." Yuan Shang responded loudly, and took 30,000 pawns with him to the main battlefield.
The three brothers of the Yuan family have always been at odds, but they are blood brothers after all. When facing foreign enemies, they can naturally share the same hatred.
Lu Bu looked at the 30,000 pawns leaving, and didn't panic in his heart. He brought 100,000 pawns with him. Even if these 30,000 reinforcements joined the battlefield, Yuan Cao's total strength was only 80,000, and the advantage was still on Lu Bu's side. .
However, one thing is more uncomfortable. Since the reinforcements from the direction of Yecheng came from the north, this caused the 100,000 Qin troops to fall into a situation of being pinched from front to back.
The south side needs to face the 50,000 Yuan-Cao coalition army, and the north side receives the attack of the reinforcements from Yecheng.
But now that the war has entered this stage, Lu Bu can only place his hopes on Sima Yi's ability to command in front of battle, and see if this kid can surprise him.
On the main battlefield, the 100,000 Qin army has an absolute superiority in strength at this moment, and the Yuan-Cao coalition army can only struggle to support it.
Sima Yi, who was commanding the battle, naturally also saw the situation behind him. Although Lu Bu stopped the 20,000 cavalry behind him, at this moment there were ten infantry troops behind him.
How uncomfortable it is to be attacked by the enemy. Although Sima Yi is leading the army for the first time, Sima Yi, who has read military books, also knows that this is a taboo for military strategists, so he immediately adjusted the army.
"Give the order, the rear army will change to the front army, and the two wings will support the past, and another square formation will be formed to block the enemy troops in the rear." Sima Yi ordered in a deep voice.
Although the military order was issued, Sima Yi was also beating drums in his heart.
Without him, his order is too complicated.
The real battle formation is not playing computer games, and all the troops can be in place at ten points of the mouse.
After the military order is issued, the military order needs to be passed down layer by layer, and then the bottom soldiers execute the military order. This process takes a lot of time.
And the enemy is already behind. In such an urgent situation, the commander can respond, but the soldiers may not be able to execute it in time.
Especially now that we need to face the Yuan-Cao coalition's attack head-on, if we don't handle it properly, if we accidentally cause a chain reaction, the change of formation may turn into a chaotic situation, and once the opportunity is seized by the enemy, there may even be a possibility of defeat.
But when the order was issued, a scene that surprised Sima Yi appeared.
The rear army of the Qin army immediately changed into the front army, and the two wings also retreated in an orderly manner. The three troops were quickly combined together, and the prototype of ten square formations was formed before the enemy army approached behind them.
The soldiers of the Qin army were like their arms, and their excellent quality surprised Sima Yi as a commander.
"You don't have to be surprised when you join the army. General Gao Shun attaches great importance to military regulations and discipline, and formation is a daily practice." The lieutenant at the side answered Sima Yi's doubts,
"This General Gao Shun must be very good at training soldiers." Sima Yi blurted out.
"That's natural." The lieutenant general smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief of the three armies appointed by King Qin, but all the soldiers of the Qin army have been trained by General Gao Shun."
Sima Yi secretly remembered the name Gao Shun, the chief coach of the three armies, he was definitely a high-ranking person, and he must not be offended in the future.
After the change of formation was completed, the Qin army formed two square formations in the field at this moment.
There are still 60,000 people left in the former army phalanx where Sima Yi is, and they still have some strength advantages over the 50,000 people of the Yuan-Cao coalition army.
Then they faced the reinforcements from Yecheng who rushed over, 40,000 against 30,000, and the Qin army also had an advantage.
As for the cavalry battlefield, needless to say, it was only a matter of time before Lu Bu led his troops to charge and wipe out the Youzhou cavalry.
The battlefield was divided into three parts, but the Qin army had the upper hand in all three parts, and it seemed that victory was imminent.
"It's over, brother, you are really harmful. You have to drag me to the back when you are dying." Cao Cao sighed, regretting more and more in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have chased the Yellow River.
"Regret now?" Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Why didn't I see you regret when I burned my black nest?"
Yuan Shao glared at Xu You beside Cao Cao as he spoke. When Yuan Shao saw Xu You beside Cao Cao, he knew why Cao Cao had discovered Wu Chao.
I thought Xu You had fled to Lu Bu's side, but I didn't expect Xu You to vote for Cao Cao. This was something Yuan Shao didn't expect.
Xu You's eyes dodged, he was somewhat guilty of Yuan Shao, and he didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao.
"Okay, the three of us have been playing games since we were young, and we are about to die, so don't worry about Ziyuan." Cao Cao smoothed things over.
"It's over? 0.3 hum." Yuan Shao mocked, "Meng De, you underestimate my brother."
"What? Could it be that you still have a backup?" Cao Cao was really surprised now.
"Hold on, and wait and see, it's hard to say who will win the battle." Yuan Shao said vigorously.
Looking at the confident Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was really shocked. He regretted chasing the Yellow River, but at the same time he was thankful that Lu Bu was there, otherwise he would have been dealt with by Yuan Shao at this moment. Jump back to the Central Plains.
Looking forward to Yuan Shao's successor in his heart, he also began to think in his heart, after repelling Lu Bu for a while, how should he retreat completely?
For Yuan Shao, defeating Lu Bu is the ultimate goal.
But for Cao Cao, repelling Lu Bu is just for self-protection. Once Lu Bu retreats, he and Yuan Shao will become enemies again, and they have to compete.
Facing Yuan Shao who kept pulling out backhands, Cao Cao became more and more uncertain. After a while, would he still have the strength to challenge Yuan Shao?
