Chapter 677 Good News
When the authorities fell into a stalemate again, Cao Zhen sent 2,000 soldiers forward again. Zhao Yun shook his long gun gently and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Ura, lead a thousand infantry to support."
Under the leadership of Ula, a thousand soldiers rushed to the battlefield with full strength. In the face of such a protracted battle, Cao soldiers were a little tired. The sudden addition of Ula was like death, pouring all the anger into the killing.
Ula is a Qiang. When he kills people, he will scream, which makes his soldiers not only have a sense of shock, but also their blood boils after hearing it.
The addition of a thousand soldiers made Cao Zhen slightly moved. The strength of these soldiers was many times stronger than that of Cao's army. There were too many mistakes in his previous cognition. He had to re-examine. Zhao Yun still had a thousand cavalry in his hand, and he also had 3,000 infantry in his hand. He did not think that a thousand cavalry could be thorough. At most, the situation of the Western Liang Army was to cause some trouble to the Cao army.
When a thousand soldiers recovered some disadvantages, the long gun in Zhao Yun's hand was slightly raised, reflecting the midday sun and emitting a tingy light.
A thousand cavalry, after seeing Zhao Yun's behavior, his nerves immediately tightened. He knew that the real bloody battle was coming. There was no turning back, and where there was war, there would be sacrifice and bloodshed. The Xiliang army was not afraid of sacrifice, but longed for victory.
If the 10,000 Xiliang army can defeat the 45,000 Cao troops openly, not only the Xiliang army, but also Zhao Yun's reputation will reach an unprecedented height. Such aura of famous generals cannot be covered even Guo Yan and Huang Zhong in the Xiliang army.
A thousand cavalry, almost at the same time, raised the machete, and the rumble of iron hoofs suddenly sounded.
The handsome flag representing the army also kept moving with Zhao Yun's charge. The Xiliang army was boiling and the cavalry was dispatched, which meant that it was the last blow of the Xiliang army, and the victory or defeat was in this move.
After Cao Zhen was shocked, he hurriedly sent all the soldiers in his hand to meet the enemy. Five hundred of the 3,000 soldiers were cavalry. As long as he blocked the Xiliang army and the infantry that followed him, he would definitely be able to recover the disadvantage. In the chaotic battlefield, even the cavalry did not have enough confidence to retreat completely.
The color of plate armor, even if it reflects the sun, is a gloomy color. The cavalry on the war horse's eyes are firm and full of murderous intent. Although the distance is very far away, Cao Zhen can still feel it.
Zhao Yun's face turned slightly red, and the bright silver gun kept waving in his hand, which was fatal. In a blink of an eye, three cavalrymen had been killed in his hand. Zhao Yun, who was already unfathomable, entered the middle of the cavalry, within a radius, and no enemy could approach him.
A thousand Xiliang cavalry and 500 cavalrymen met. After a moment of fighting, Cao's army showed his incompetence. Under the charge of the cavalry, Cao's cavalry were constantly knocked down, and screams came one after another, adding some different flavor to the chaotic battlefield.
If anyone has seen this cavalry here, they will certainly be surprised. Except for the armor that does not have the head wrapped around them, these people are like frightening lone wolves.
After Zhao Yun sent troops, this was also the secret means given to him by Jia Rong. The fighting ability of the Lone Wolf was the best in the Xiliang Army. No matter which general saw this team, he marveled and showed his yearning at the same time.
The infantry behind the five hundred cavalry were also quickly defeated. Zhao Yun's face showed a good look. The thief captured the king first. As long as Cao Zhen was captured, the rest of Cao's army was not worried, and this battle also announced the victory of the Xiliang Army.
Cao Zhen didn't expect that Zhao Yun's last means was such a high combat effectiveness cavalry. In the face of such cavalry, the tiger and leopard riding are simply vulnerable. Not only in terms of equipment, but also in psychology, a master should not only have superb skills, but also have excellent psychological quality.
In the face of the bloody storm and the death of the robe on the battlefield, his face still remains unchanged.
After the Lone Wolf easily defeated the attacking Cao army, he turned to the middle army of Cao Zhen under the leadership of Zhao Yun.
Cao Zhen was moved and hurriedly dispatched troops. Zhao Yun's intention was very clear, that is, to knock down the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, and he was very determined, so he came to fight with the commander-in-chief and defeated them if he had the ability.
Seeing the continuous movement of the flag of the Chinese army to the Cao army, all the soldiers understood the intention of the Xiliang army.
At this time, there were only more than a thousand guards around Cao Zhen. Although he was the most elite soldier in the army, in the face of a thousand lone wolf soldiers like wolves and tigers, there were no waves at all.
Zhao Yun led the lone wolf soldiers to kill Cao Zhen directly with a strong attitude. Looking at the slow fall of the flag of the Chinese army, Cao Zhen's face was like ashes. This battle may be his last battle. From then on, he will lose the opportunity to lead the army again.
The defeat is like a mountain. This sentence can't be used to describe Cao's army. Cao Zhen, Guo Huai, Liu Ye and others fled in dismay. The Cao soldiers, who were still extremely brave, were suddenly like frosty eggplant, and their arrogant heads had to bow down to the Xiliang Army.
In the first battle, Zhao Yun captured more than 15,000 Cao's army and more than 13,000 people annihilated Cao's army. The rest were scattered and there were countless people who fled. If the capture of Luyang and Hanoi was a slap in the face of Cao's army, then the 45,000 soldiers and horses of the Cao army were scattered with 10,000 soldiers and horses in the front, which was a bolt from the blue. Zhao Yun's hand of iron and blood. Duan told the world that the Xiliang Army was strong and invincible.
Of course, the loss of Zhao Yun's troops was also great. There were 2,000 female soldiers. At this time, there were only more than 500 people left, half of whom were injured. There were only more than 100 heavy infantry in Gaoshun, and only less than 2,000 people of them could survive in the end. The cruelty of this battle can be imagined. .
After the good news came back to Luyang, the court was shocked. Jia Rong personally ordered to reward the meritorious soldiers. Zhao Yun was directly awarded as the general of Zhendong and the Cao army east of the east of Luyang.
Although Cheng Yi is more than a little worse than other generals because of his meritorious service in guarding Hanoi County, as long as the generals who participated in this battle have been promoted to one level, that is, Cheng Yi can directly become regimental generals after participating.
The battalion can barely be called a general in the Xiliang Army. He is an intermediate general in the army. Although the regimental general has been promoted by one level, it is extraordinary. This level often requires a lot of effort to successfully advance.
A master like Zhao Yun is the mainstay of Liangguo.
The Xiliang Army won, and the victory was very simple. It beat 50,000 Cao's army with 10,000 soldiers. When he returned to Yanzhou, there were only more than 3,000 soldiers in Cao Zhen's hands. Many soldiers directly chose to go into exile in other places in Hanoi County. Most of these people had no family under the rule of Cao's army, instead of returning to Cao's army. To become a deserter under the rule, it is better to take root and germinate under the rule of the Xiliang Army, be a stable commoner, and accept the protection of the Xiliang Army.
Cao Cao, who was preparing to send more troops to Hanoi, saw the information in his hand, and his face kept changing. What he really didn't expect was that Zhao Yun dared to fight with Cao Zhen with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and finally defeated Cao's army. Such a record is unimaginable. A war that wins more with less requires the right time, place and people. The cooperation between them may be achieved. In the frontal fight, a person's strength is always limited. Being able to kill an enemy does not mean that you can still have the strength to continue to kill the second and third. Killing is a physical job, not as simple as a knife.
Zhao Yun's great victory completely dispelled Cao Cao's idea that he was going to attack Hanoi. Instead, he strengthened his troops in Dong County and the surrounding counties bordering the Xiliang Army. It is difficult for the strong Xiliang Army to send troops to Yanzhou after this great victory.
The great victory in Hanoi, after the spread of Liangguo, greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers who were fighting in Jiangling. Zhao Yun could defeat 50,000 people of Cao's army with 10,000 soldiers and horses. It was also the Xiliang Army, and Jiangling naturally did not talk about it.
The Thunderbolt car operates day and night. It has filled the moat, and has been rested by the Xiliang army. Yaoyao saw that the terrain outside the city is very flat, which is simple and convenient for soldiers to attack.
Wei Yan has been unable to sleep at all these days. Jiangling's defense is very tight. It is difficult to guarantee that the Western Liang army will have any extraordinary means to blow up the city gates and so on. Wei Yan is not afraid. A strong city is often destroyed from the inside. Wei Yan is even more convinced of this sentence.
The number of troops in the city has not increased much, but the defense in the city is becoming more and more severe. The Chinese army where Wei Yan is located has hundreds of people in the open and dark sentries. There are soldiers patrolling everywhere in the city. Under Wei Yan's strict order, no people dares to walk around the city at will. Every night, Jiang Lingcheng is very quiet, and any wind and grass can quickly arouse Wei Yan's vigilance.
Huang Zhong wants to break down Jiangling City by open and upright means to frightize the generals of other counties and counties in Jingzhou.
To Huang Zhong's surprise, there were such sharp weapons as crossbow cars in the city. Unprepared, many soldiers died because of this. The range of crossbow cars on both sides is not much different. The only advanced place of the Xiliang Army is that it can shoot continuously and shoot one by one. The Jingzhou Army in the city has a big The advantage, which brought some trouble to Huang Zhong, who besieged the city.
Explosives were used when attacking the city on the second day. The rumble and trembling wall made Wei Yan shocked. He heard that it was very different from what he saw with his own eyes. In the past, he only heard that there was a mysterious weapon in the Xiliang Army that could directly blow up the gate, and the strong wall would collapse. Now at first sight, the momentum is even more Shocked.
After a little surprise, Wei Yan recovered and continued to do what he should do as a general.
