The city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

Cao Cao's soldiers with sharp eyes immediately saw it and shouted: "The city gate is open! The city gate is open!" Wen Pin was surprised, and at a glance, it was indeed the case. Sun Gan didn't know when he climbed to the top of the city and shouted loudly: "Wenpin! Listen! We let Xinye out, and you must not hurt the people here!"

Wen Ping listened, and he really surrendered! Xinye's soldiers were only a few thousand, and Liu Bei was not here. Wenpin had estimated that they would surrender and compromise, and they would be able to quickly defeat them without compromise.

The city gate finally opened, and Mi Zhu rushed out with a spear and a horse. The Cao Cao soldiers thought they were surrendering and were unprepared, so they retreated in shock, Mi Zhu stabbed several people with a spear, and shouted: "Wenpin thief! How can we surrender! Rush out! Protect Madam!" More than 200 people slashed and slashed hard, and sure enough, they made a **** path and tore a gap several meters wide. However, although Cao Jun was temporarily caught off guard, he quickly organized and started to attack in layers. .

Chapter 114 Breakthrough (2)

Na Wenpin was shocked, he thought he was surrendering, but he didn't expect to deceive him, and he suddenly became angry.

Although Cao Jun was frightened and retreated one after another, there were still many people. The Cao army's battle formations were stacked in layers, and they surrounded Xinye City in a grid-like manner. Seeing Mi Zhu rushing out with the convoy, they all approached. The Mi Zhu convoy seemed to have rushed into the mud, unable to move an inch, and the encirclement became denser and denser.

That Mi Zhu slashed and slashed hard, and after a while, blood stained his robes. Seeing that the surrounding Cao troops gathered more and more, and the front was also layered, the horse and infantry were mixed, and it was obviously impossible to rush out. Mi Zhu was exhausted, but struggled to stay beside the two ladies' motorcade.

Wen Pin saw that Liu Bei's army was fighting less and less from a distance, and sneered: "Tell the fighting team to divide Liu Bei's army, and don't let them get close." As he said that, he directed the guards to move closer to the center of the convoy. It seemed that Wen Pin wanted to go into battle in person. .

When Cao Jun's combat team saw a regiment of Liu Bei's army, they surrounded him with several times the army, and stabbed them with spears. Liu's army suffered heavy damage. All the horses were forced to dismount, otherwise the target was too large and could easily be stabbed to death or shot with arrows. Sure enough, in a short while, Liu Bei's army was almost exhausted. Only Mi Zhu, with less than 100 people closely surrounding Gan and Mrs. Cai's car, desperately resisted~.

Wen Pin immediately sneered and raised his voice slightly: "Mi Zhu! Surrender with the two ladies. We guarantee your safety. Otherwise, don't blame the sword for being ruthless!" The gun, with a sword on his back, was soaked in blood, and he didn't know whether it was from himself or from the Cao soldiers who were killed. Seeing that the spear was already dull and heavy, Mi Zhu threw the spear, drew out his saber, and slashed several people in a row, and said sternly, "Don't even think about it! If you hire a thief, the villain is successful, I, Mi Zhu, will swear to death!"

"Liu Bei asked you to protect your wife. The sword is ruthless. If the two ladies died on the battlefield, how would you explain it!" Wen Pin saw that this was not a good move, and began to talk about his wife's safety. Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, and was stabbed with a spear in the waist again. Although the two ladies did not look outside, they roughly guessed the situation. Mrs. Gan shouted loudly in the car: "General Mi! Don't listen to the nonsense of the civil servants! Mrs. Mi and I swear we will not be prisoners of Cao Jun! I have a short knife in my hand!"

Mi Zhu was startled, Madam Gan hid a short knife, and it seemed that she was ready to commit suicide on the battlefield, but unfortunately she was incompetent and even forced the two ladies to commit suicide on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but burst into tears, crossed the sword, aimed it at his neck, and was about to commit suicide.

"General!" A sergeant hugged Mi Zhu, "General! Look west!"

That Mi Zhu was about to break free, but when he heard "Look at the west side", he glanced at the west side, and was immediately stunned. The dust billows from the west, and thousands of horses are galloping, causing the heaven and the earth to faintly shake. The first few cavalrymen were far ahead.

On the Xinye Castle, it was another scene. When Sun Gan saw Mi Zhu rushing out of the way, he thought there was hope, but he was actually quite pessimistic. Sure enough, Cao Jun gathered more and more, and Sun Gan saw at a glance that there was no hope of breaking through. For some reason, Sun Gan was still standing on the city, letting the arrows fly on the city, looking lost. What's next? Sun Gan didn't dare to think that the two ladies were captured and fell into the hands of Cai or Cao Cao? The two ladies committed suicide or were killed on the battlefield, and then, like ordinary sergeants or generals, their heads were cut off and hung by the enemy in front of the horse or on the city wall as a show of victory? If this is the case, what face are all Liu Jun soldiers present alive? Even if he died, it was a great shame that could not be erased.

Sun Gan didn't even dare to think about these results, he just stood blankly on the city wall. The arrow whizzed in his ear, and he wished to shoot him directly so that he would not see the final tragedy.

Above and below the city, everyone felt a slight vibration of heaven and earth, as well as a sudden silence. All the soldiers, whether it was Cao Jun or Liu Jun, stopped fighting, and stopped stabbing spears and slashing swords. No matter what direction they were facing, no matter how hideous the enemy in front of them was, they stopped, attracted by what was in the distance. The sudden silence made Sun Qian stunned for a moment. Then he saw a scene of dust billowing from the west.

"Could it be..." Jian Yong beside him murmured, "Could it be they...?"

·0 for flowers

"Shangyong direction..." Sun Gan seemed to wake up, "Huang Zhong, it's Huang Zhong!"

"Mr. Sun! General Mi! General Huang Zhong under Luochen's tent came to the rescue with 100,000 cavalry!" The voice of the messenger resounded throughout the city.

It was a little quiet for a moment, as if many people did not respond. A few seconds later, cheers broke out. The dying, seriously injured, and surrounded by several times the enemy army, the Liu Jun soldiers who were desperate to resist suddenly cheered desperately. Then there were the neighing sounds of frightened horses, the surprised conversation of Cao Jun, and the shouting of the captain of Cao Jun's battle phalanx: "Don't retreat! Don't retreat without orders!"

...0

"Take Liu Bei's two wives first!" Wen Pin, as a general, instantly showed a panicked look, but soon his face became hideous. Just like the stubborn beasts and snakes in the south, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they stubbornly believe that they can win, and will use all means to achieve their victory until they use their last ounce of strength. At the last moment, the stubborn eyes still did not change, and he wanted to make a final mockery of the enemy.

But the passion and excitement that Liu Jun burst out in an instant was amazing. Cao Jun was surprised to find that more than a hundred Liu Bei soldiers in ragged clothes and **** faces suddenly showed joy and heroism on their faces, and suddenly they were no longer clumsy. No longer exhausted, no more timid, but almost joyfully and impatiently going into battle, as if to say, "Come on if you can! Don't run so hard then!"

On the contrary, Cao Jun, who thought he could easily win the victory, knew that his idea was too naive and ridiculous. They found that the Liu Jun soldiers in front of them were too desperate, and they were too desperate to die. They were not afraid of death, and they would choose to die together without hesitation. What a terrible thing it is to fight a war with someone who is not afraid of death! Moreover, the sound of hooves rolling in the west vibrated their eardrums all the time, as if telling them all the time, "You won't live long! How long can you be happy?".

Chapter 115 Massacre

However, they said that Mi Zhu, along with Gan and Mrs. Cai, broke through the siege and fell into a desperate situation, so he wanted to kill himself, but Huang Zhong's 100,000 cavalry in the west came to rescue in time. The Cao Jun soldiers, who were still extremely arrogant just now, began to riot, and the soldiers had no intention to fight.

Wen Pin ordered the two ladies to be taken down first, but Liu Bei's soldiers were deeply encouraged and resisted bravely. For a while, they didn't even touch the side of the two ladies' cars, but Huang Zhong's iron cavalry arrived first.

Huang Zhong took the lead, armed with a big sword, and rushed straight to the middle of Cao's army. He swung the big sword and chopped several people. In front of the fallen army, tens of thousands of horses swooped forward one after another, and the saber specially equipped by the fallen army cavalry was once again swung in the sun. Cao Jun panicked, and there were bursts of screams.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen on both flanks of the fallen army began to copy from both sides. Cao Junshi's "870" soldiers in other directions in Xinye began to disperse one after another. Push and flee. Some well-organized phalanxes tried to resist, but unexpectedly, they were defeated and crushed just like child's play in the face of the impact of the powerful fallen army cavalry.

"Escort the two ladies back to the city!" Huang Zhong ordered loudly.

Hundreds of iron cavalry from the fallen army guarded the convoy and slowly returned to the city. No matter how dare the soldiers of the Cao army stopped, anyone who came over would be hacked to death. Mi Zhu seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength, just mounted on the horse, let the sergeant lead, and slowly entered the city beside the two ladies' car. That Sun Qian sat silently in the corner and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the fierce battle outside had nothing to do with him. Indeed, there is no problem with the safety of Madam and Xinye Castle now.

Outside the city, Wenpin's eyes were red, and he held his saber tightly in his hand, slashing to and fro. However, the fallen cavalry crushed the Jingzhou cavalry both in terms of quality and quantity. The fallen army cavalry were well-organized, cooperated in combat, and were skilled in equestrian and swordsmanship. The fallen army was smashed on three sides, and the middle was like a sledgehammer. Wherever it hit, it was smashed to shreds. Wherever the heavy cavalry in the middle rushed through, the hordes of Jingzhou cavalrymen burst into rivers of blood, leaving only the corpses that fell to the ground. The light cavalry on the two flanks of the fallen army was more elite and moved quickly, and drove the Jingzhou soldiers who were trying to escape into the three-sided attacking circle, either killing them directly, or annihilating them by the heavy cavalry in the middle.

Huang Zhong's iron cavalry's combat range is full of standard-bearers. These standard-bearers pass information to each other, accept orders, and guide the cavalry to attack. There are a bunch of standard bearers and messengers around Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong relies on these standard bearers and messengers to ensure that the nearly 100,000 army will faithfully implement his combat strategy in the ever-changing battlefield environment.

Sure enough, the Jingzhou soldiers staggered to the south, surrounded by the fallen army on three sides, like chasing ducks. The three-sided encirclement of the fallen army was like a flowing massacre, and the three-sided fallen army cavalry kept following up, constantly attacking the panic-stricken Jingzhou cavalry inside. The Jingzhou cavalry could only run around in the encirclement, and then they were beaten to pieces by the powerful cavalry. Or some Jingzhou cavalry tried to get out of the three-sided attack circle of the fallen army and out of the attack range of the fallen army. Where would the light cavalry on the two wings be willing to spare? Immediately attacked with troops, defeated those who tried to break through the siege, and forced them back into the encirclement.

This was the first time Wen Pin saw this type of attack. He found that there seemed to be fallen soldiers in every direction. These fallen soldiers were like beasts, and his soldiers were like prey. It took less than an hour. The iron cavalry has lost more than half, and this loss is solidly killed. Wen Pin felt extremely humiliated and annoyed. He had never seen such unfortunate incidents in his career as a soldier. Wen Pin knew that if he didn't take measures, it was estimated that even himself might be killed by the damned fallen cavalry. He finally understood why the fallen cavalry had become famous all over the world, why the fallen cavalry could directly compete with the Xiongnu iron cavalry and were not inferior at all. These cavalry were indeed too powerful, and this level had never been seen by a southern general.

What Wenpin wanted to do most naturally was to organize a counterattack and fight back against the fallen troops, so that they could see that Wenpin was not a vegetarian. It's a pity to look at the panicked Jingzhou soldiers. The battle formations have all been disrupted. Whether they are low-level officers, soldiers or squadron commanders, they are all mixed up, and there is no organization at all. For the fallen army, it is exactly the same. Prey.0 seemed to be impossible to counterattack. Wen Pin held a saber and swooped over. Although the fallen army cavalry were powerful, they were no match for the southern titan, Wen Pin, and were instantly cut to the ground. Wen Ping shouted: "If you want to live, follow me!" As he spoke, the soldiers in Jingzhou panicked and ran around in the encirclement, seeing the people around them being hacked to death. Shouting, everyone wants to live, who doesn't go? Sure enough, the Jingzhou soldiers gathered in a short period of time and stormed a point in the encirclement of the fallen army.

Wen Ping attacked the flanking light cavalry of the fallen army cavalry formation, and the flank troops were not many, so Wen Ping succeeded for a while. But is Huang Zhong's chain of command a vegetarian? As soon as Huang Zhong saw it, he quickly ordered the opening to be blocked, and took the opportunity to let the heavy cavalry go over to sweep it. The cavalry and the messenger kept moving, and the heavy cavalry quickly turned around and rushed towards the breakout opening. At the same time, more light cavalry began to pounce to block the opening. That Wenpin fought hard to kill, and sure enough, hundreds of people rushed out, and the rest of Jingzhou soldiers were blocked inside. What's more serious is that after the Jingzhou soldiers gathered, the heavy cavalry swooped over, and a massacre occurred in an instant. The blood flowed into the river, and the Jingzhou soldiers cried. Only then did Huang Zhong order that all sides be sealed, completely surrounding this group of people at the end of 3.5. Huang Zhong said sharply: "Jingzhou soldiers surrender! Don't work for Cai Mao and other villains! Surrender now to avoid death!"

The Jingzhou cavalry saw that Wenpin had run away, and they did not want to die for it, so they dismounted and surrendered. At this time, there were only 5,000 troops, and all the rest were killed. This was a rare massacre. Xinye was dozens of miles to the south, with blood all over the place and corpses everywhere. In this way, not only did Cao Jun feel the savage slaughter of the fallen cavalry, but the Jingzhou soldiers also shuddered when they heard of the fallen cavalry.

That Wenpin took hundreds of people and fled in a hurry. Wenpin thought that he would go back like this, Cai Mao would definitely not be able to spare him, so he temporarily lived in seclusion in a fishing village by the Yangtze River, and waited for Cao Cao's army to go south, and then he would go to Cao Cao. .

Chapter 116 in the vast grassland

Back to the dusty northern Xiongnu battlefield. Chang Yuchun and Lü Bu each led 60,000 elite cavalry from Shuofang all the way westward, heading straight for the Hexi Corridor.

This is the first time that the elite cavalry of the Central Plains galloped on the vast grassland. After crossing the Yellow River to the west, they are completely separated from the Central Plains world. They are now north of the Great Wall, facing the west of the section north and south of the "Ji"-shaped Yellow River.

A little south of Chang Yuchun and Lü Bu's army, there were about 20,000 iron cavalry led independently by Luo Chen and Yan Qing.

It's been an amazing journey.

Luochen has lived in the Guanzhong area for a long time, and occasionally goes to the south and the Jianghuai area. This time he went north to the Xiongnu, which was his longest trip. Stepping on the war horse, wearing a simple official uniform, with a sword on the waist, galloping on the vast grassland, Luo Chen felt relaxed and happy, and swept away the haze of the stagnant fighting situation in the past few days. The further west you go, the sparser and sparser the prairie is, and it gradually contains sand, and the sound of horses stepping on it is very different from that of the thick grass. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushing around Luochen, it is really dusty. Luochen felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after a while, he got used to the feeling of a large amount of dust brushing across his face. Fortunately, these guard cavalry have been strictly trained for 10 years, and they are used to it.

The less green, the heavier the sand, and looking further ahead, it is already a dark yellow. Looking back, it is faintly green, extending to the horizon. There seems to be a faintly long strip of river in the extreme distance, perhaps the Yellow River.

The cavalry, like a hurricane, swept up dust and was extremely conspicuous on the prairie. Fortunately, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and apart from my own team, I can't see anyone else at all. Luochen felt a little tired, so he pushed out the rushing team and rested aside, Yan Qing also followed. The cavalry regiment crushed almost all the grass and scraped the dust off the ground. Because there are thousands of horses passing by one place, naturally. But the grassland is thick and broad, and the grass of the grassland is tough. Maybe they will come back in a few months and find that the place has been restored to its original state, as if nothing has happened.

As for the low shrubs and dead branches on the ground, after the cavalry passed by, they found that they had disappeared without a trace. The shrubs seemed to be swept away directly, leaving only the tawny surface and sand grains.

"My lord, why don't you make a bed with a net bag and let the soldiers carry you on horseback, so you don't have to be so tired." Yan Qing said. Luochen laughed, but he could think of it, so wouldn't he be a prisoner? Where is the lord! Luochen smiled and waved his hand: "No, I can adapt." "My lord has a lot of time to deal with, and you have to run and bump on the horse..." Yan Qing muttered, Luochen couldn't help but laugh, but did not answer.

But Luochen really couldn't compare with those cavalrymen who were on horses all year round. After all, he was the lord commander. He thought about the war every day in the command tent of the Chinese army, and had no time to exercise every day. The guard was handy, but he was specially responsible for protecting the safety of falling dust and dealing with emergencies. The guard circled the dust, at a moderate speed, galloping across the savannah.

When marching on the grasslands, patrols and guard posts will be dispatched far away from the front, back, left and right to prevent accidents. Because the grassland has no obstructions, unlike the Central Plains, the distance of the guard posts is extremely far, so as to have an early warning effect.

Luochen was watching, and suddenly a horn sound came from behind, playing at a steady and even frequency. When Luochen heard it, he knew that there was something to report later, so Nailema stopped.

After a while, several horses rushed over, and Luo Chen noticed that this was a patrol team, plus a rider. The rider's horse appeared to be strapped to something bright red. Luo Chen immediately thought of it, it was very urgent, and at the same time, his heart sank for a while, why is it so urgent? Often in the north, there is a lot of business in the south, is Cao Jun's army suddenly attacking Tongguan? Is there a big problem in Yizhou? Or... most likely, a big change occurred in Jingzhou?
