"Chen Chen!"

In the distance, under the command banner of the Chinese army, Li Tong was riding on horseback, looking with dizzy eyes at the iron army rushing over from the south.

The general at the front of the Iron Army was burned into his heart like a lifelong nightmare.

At that time, Li Tong was also considered a small prince in Runan. Although he defected to Cao Cao in name, he had more than 10,000 troops, which was his capital to stand in troubled times.

As a result, during the battle halfway from Xiping to Dingying, he was ambushed by Shen Chen and suffered more than half of his losses. Even he himself almost died in the rebel army.

Such hatred should be kept in mind. But Li Tong did not dare to take revenge at all, because Shen Chen was prosperous in the south, deeply trusted by Liu Biao, and looked down upon by his army. Even Cao Cao could not do anything to him. .

But the appearance of his enemy, even after several years, has never been forgotten, even though he has grown taller and stronger, so Li's eyes turned red.

When your enemy meets you, he becomes extremely jealous. How can you defeat him?

As far as Li Tong could see, his southern peripheral troops had been dispersed by the Huangmen soldiers, leaving a huge gap. Gan and Ning troops followed closely behind him. If he didn't think of a way, he might not even be able to protect his central army. .

"General, we have no reinforcements. Should we evacuate to General Cao Hong's army?"

Shen Chen slowly walked to less than ten feet away from Li Tong. He was tall and looked down at the enemy. He said softly: "As an enemy, you are a respectable person. But is it worth delaying the fight with the lives of all the cavalry? "

Do whatever it takes to win!

The Xiliang army rushed forward like a tide.

At this moment, Li Tong's cavalry went to attack the Huangmen soldiers. The infantry had to guard against Zhang Xiu and the Gan and Ning army. The defense was extremely weak.

"Fight to the death!"

Jia Xu said calmly: "The Huangmen soldiers are worthy of being the most powerful soldiers in the world. Except for a few soldiers in the front row, if Cao Jun's cavalry rushes in, it will be a dead end."

Shen Chen looked at the soldiers of Cao's army who were attacking them in a very tragic manner, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

After more than ten years in Nanyang, they have taken root and sprouted. If they run away again, there will be no place for them in the world, so they all raised their swords and shouted angrily: "Fight to the death!"

This meant that Li Tong's rear, that is, northern defense had a flaw, because he transferred most of the infantry to the west to defend Zhang Xiu's cavalry, freeing Cao's cavalry who had been confronting Zhang Xiu's cavalry to commit suicide. Type attack against Huangmen soldiers.

There were less than 2,000 people around him still maintaining their formation.

Although the cavalry charging into battle is like moths flying into flames, heavy armored infantrymen will not feel comfortable being hit by horses. Heavy armor, hammers and axes that cannot be cut through by swords can stun the people inside or even kill them.

Although it did delay Shen Chen's army, under the strangulation of a large number of infantry, these cavalry of Cao's army were tantamount to death. Although they also killed hundreds of Huangmen soldiers and one or two thousand ordinary soldiers, their entire army was wiped out. .

The deputy general's eyes widened and he said: "If the cavalry charges against the heavy armored infantry formation, isn't it a dead end?"

After shouting loudly, Cao Jun's cavalry in the distance began to gallop.

Su Fei and Huang Zhong led 30,000 Jiangxia naval forces to attack Cao Hong's army formation and Cao Cao's main formation respectively.

All five thousand cavalry were wiped out.

Li Tong was already desperate.

Except for the dozens of personal guards around Li Tong, who barely stood up and protected him.

But even if it weren't for the notorious Huangmen soldiers, no one from Cao's army who was already paralyzed by fatigue would dare to stop them.

Therefore, Li Tong also prepared for the worst, that is, the heavy armored infantry withstood the cavalry attack and even defeated the cavalry. However, in his view, even if the cavalry was killed and he died in battle, he would never let it happen. His main force collapsed.

Every Cao Jun soldier who looked at him lowered his head, dropped the weapon in his hand, and did not dare to look at him again.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Because even if he risked his life to delay, he did not wait for the trumpet sound from Cao Cao's side to defeat Wenpin.

"kill!"

"Win!"

The desolate horn sounded with sadness, and all Cao Jun's cavalry showed a touch of sadness on their faces.

Human life is sometimes worth less than vegetation.

Now that Shen Chen reminded me, I remembered what was wrong.

All the Huangmen soldiers roared angrily.

Although light cavalry rarely attacks the enemy's large formations, attacking the enemy's weak points from the flank is a tactic used by all light cavalry generals in ancient times.

No one surrendered, and no one escaped. As opponents, they were respectable. But for them and their families who were threatened by Cao Cao's "death method", this was a bit too sad.

Soon the Xiliang army collided with Li Tong's infantry, and fighting gradually broke out. The total number of enemy and our soldiers here exceeded 20,000, and there were surging crowds everywhere.

Surrounded by the corpses of both enemy and enemy soldiers, under the cover of the Ganning infantry, this battle was equivalent to a death-defying attack by 5,000 Cao Cao cavalry against 3,000 heavily armored infantry and at least 4,000 to 5,000 unarmored ordinary soldiers. Suicide charge.

He led hundreds of soldiers around him who could barely move, and slowly moved forward with Gan Ning, who was also breathing loudly.

The charging cavalry arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye, and their galloping iron hooves crashed into the armored soldiers in the front row.

Shen Chen appeared so suddenly that he didn't even have time to think about this problem.

"Chen Chen!"

Blood was flowing, and the horses were wailing and neighing continuously. After a large number of cavalry collided, even if they were not stabbed by the raised spears, they all fell to the bottom of the horse because they could not stabilize their bodies without the help of stirrups, and were then trampled by the horses behind them. Dead, crashed, corpses everywhere.

And further east.

"Charge?"

At this moment, violent shouts erupted from the surroundings.

"Shen Chen is not bad either."

But in the stinging pain, they ran forward desperately, blood scattered all over the ground, and the neighing of the war horses filled the sky.

Everyone knows what will happen if the light cavalry charges against the heavily armed heavy infantry. Not many people and horses will survive, but even so, under the strict military regulations of Cao Jun and the system that harms their families, no one dares to Be a deserter.

"The enemy general is beheaded!"

If you overlook the wilderness from a high altitude, you will see that in the vast land, whether it is Li Tong, Shen Chen, Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu, or even farther away, Cao Hong, Zhuge Liang, and Cao Cao Wenpin, their troops are equally exhausted. .

At this moment, there are not many left of the more than 10,000 people he brought out.

Shen Chen shook his head: "Everything is in vain, Cao Cao's defeat has been decided."

Shen Chenqiang braced himself and used his last bit of strength to pounce towards him like a tiger.

"Big Tiger!"

"only"

At this moment, Liu Bei's reinforcements arrived and were instantly defeated.

So Shen Chen raised his knife and roared: "Big tiger!"

The cavalry in the front row stabbed their horses' buttocks hard, and the horses themselves would be afraid and would not dare to charge against the dense formation of spears.

And with horses weighing several hundred kilograms and the terrible collision force, the best result is that both sides will be injured. This is just because the collision of the horses will affect the first few rows of the enemy at most, but will not have any impact on the rear rows, and will even cause the cavalry to get stuck in the crowded crowd. , was hacked to death with random knives.

Are they not victims of Cao Cao's cruel methods?

But in the battlefield, either you die or I die, and mercy can only harm others and yourself.

The deputy general next to him asked.

Zhang Xiu cheered up a little, looked around, and said to the cavalry around him: "Everyone, the south must be won by General Zuo. If we want to continue to be based in the south, today is an opportunity to fight for General Zuo. We are willing to fight to the death for our family." no?"

When Zhang Xiu saw this scene from a distance, he was in awe and said, "The strictness of Cao Jun's military management is shameful."

Then.

But he also failed.

Shen Chen approached step by step, his white cloak fluttering in the southeast wind. Cao's troops around him tried to get out of the way, even if they crawled, they had to crawl out of the way he was walking.

Li Tong turned around and looked towards the south with a ferocious look like a wild wolf, his eyes revealing a trace of ferocity.

After counting, Li Tong's knife fell to the ground. He looked down at the tiger knife that stabbed his chest, a sad smile appeared on his lips, and then he slowly tilted his head.

"Gong Cao will not be defeated!"

The soldiers in front seemed to be struck by lightning, but the spears in their hands also pierced the body of the knight or the body of the horse. In an instant, both sides were turned upside down, and the person in the front fell to the ground.

"Three Kingdoms" records that Cao Cao promulgated the "law of the death of soldiers", and all the families of soldiers were moved to Xudu and the current Chendu as hostages. Once the soldiers escaped or disobeyed military orders, their parents, wives, brothers, and children were killed.

"kill!"

Zhang Xiu pointed the sword at Li Tong's formation and shouted: "Soldiers, the Xiliang army is honorable and disgraceful, and whether your family is in good health or not, you have to prove it today, come with me to kill!"

"kill!"

Many people's faces went from numb to sad, and finally returned to numbness.

Without reinforcements, almost all of his troops would die here.

"It's my turn to help."

There are still more than 2,000 Huangmen soldiers left, but now almost all of them are exhausted. In fact, they did not move. They just waved their swords mechanically. They did not run or kill with all their strength. When someone came, they raised their spears and went towards them. Front stab, that's all.

The Xiliang troops under his command were generally between thirty and forty in age, and even some of the middle and lower-level generals in Zhang Ji's era were over fifty years old. They had already married and established families, and their families had also moved to Nanyang.

"die!"

But everyone was too tired to walk.
