Chapter 772. The Pain of Guandu Reappears
"Oh ah ah ah..."
In the night, shrill screams sounded one after another, it was like playing a game. In the scattered sound, the defenders of Wancheng were knocked up like dolls.
A Dayuan horse has a shoulder height of 1.78 meters and a weight of several hundred kilograms. Including people and equipment, each war horse weighs nearly one ton. It hits it hard at a speed of about 40 per hour. It is not well eaten and worn, but only a few dozen kilograms of light infantry weighing dozens of kilograms. Amid the scattering sound, the originally dense defending formation has forced several bloody paths.
The cavalry and horse lances sandwiched under the crotch were even more bloody, and the horses were trampled to death, and hundreds of people were trampled to death.
However, just like the battle of King Saladin of Jerusalem, the heavy cavalry's killing was actually not as good as the employed light infantry of the rear army. Before the Wancheng defenders could recover, the rebels behind them also rushed up in groups with double bows and steel crossbows.
As the crackling arrows entered the sound of flesh, the defenders were almost shot on the wall in groups, and the formation was broken. They were inherited by the impact of trampling and then destroyed in groups. The rebels and the Jingzhou second-line troops, which were already low in morale, were like rats crossing the street. They threw a torch in their hands and drilled into the alley. In a blink of an eye, thousands of troops disappeared completely.
The tactics that cross the ages and the Iron Cavalry tactics are simply the deadly nemesis of these light infantry. But after all, everyone was rebelling together in Wancheng, with a sense of incense. When the other side dispersed, the defenders did not chase them. They held heavy crossbows and followed the giant beasts and cavalry who were directly drilled through the infantry formation and rushed to Wanchengtun, the food in the center of the city, and killed them.
However, it seemed that the iron cavalry outrageous formation seemed a bit too cruel. When Cao Zhang was waiting for the torch to reach the place with a torch, the Wancheng defenders who had received the news of the remaining soldiers took the lead in igniting the pile of grain. A raging fire roared, and the granaries of people's fat and ointment were burning like huge torches. Even the fires in more than a dozen granaries were connected to one piece. The rising fire was more than ten meters high, and you could see clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.
Looking at the steaming fire, Cao Zhang couldn't help but stare blankly. He didn't even have to do this hard work by himself. Is this a solution?
But at this moment, there were waves of shrill roars and curses coming from the nearby government office. The roar before being massacred, the sound of blood splattering was right behind him! He turned his head in surprise and looked at Xu Yue, who was bleeding from the iron helmet on the war horse. Cao Zhang waved his slap in a hurry.
"Walk!"
With the banging sound, the gate of the Wancheng prison was directly smashed by the iron cavalry. A mess inside suddenly appeared in the eyes of Cao Zhang and others. They were escorted out on the ground. The prisoners of Cao army wearing only clothes were massacred on the ground. The bodies had accumulated a thick layer. However, these prisoners who were slaughtered were not little chickens. They were chopped down when they said they were chopped down. I don’t know who took advantage of the guard’s unpreparedness and threw one down. Then all the prisoners were rioted, pinching the guard’s chest and tied their necks with iron chains. There were no rifles and pistols these days, and the difference between cold weapons and bare hands and empty fists was not that big. The entire prison was beaten into a ball.
When Cao Zhang and others broke in, the Jingzhou army in the back row was still pulling bows and massacre. They were suddenly startled and raised their heads in surprise. On the other end, the Cao army captives, who were covered with blood, also raised their heads. At the beginning, the two Cao army generals who were sucked to death, were also caught in their eyes. Whether it was Cao Ren and Yu Jin, two senior generals of Cao army captured by Cao army, or one!
After all, it was his uncle. Seeing Cao Ren getting hit by another electric cannon and being shot with one-eyed green, Cao Zhang screamed. In the heavy sound of the crackling iron cavalry, the dismounted iron cavalry leaked like the canned box, and squeezed in.
…………
Early in the morning, Sima Yi stood comfortably on the city tower and looked down at the layers of Guan Yu army camps. He was now satisfied. After getting Sun Lang's head, he could not escape the first achievement of defending Xudu City. Moreover, the Chang'an army was really busy yesterday. The Jingzhou army suffered heavy damage in both losses. Now, if Guan Yu wants to capture Xudu, it is difficult for him to reach the sky. He just waited for Cao Cao's army to return, and then obtained the title of savior among the Guandong gentry and became an indispensable figure in the Cao Wei Dynasty.
Even Sima Yi could vaguely see him standing in front of the court wearing a tall crown.
"The third young master is really a real person!"
But just as Sima Yi sighed, waves of violent snare drums sounded from the hills again. Then, in Sima Yi's unbelievable eyes, once again, the Guanzhong Army, which had just fought for one night, had one-fifth of the casualties, held high the banners with the word "Wang and Cao", and the neat square formations were like black iron blocks, and rushed straight out of the city. The scene was as powerful as the momentum of not being convinced in a battle yesterday, and we continued to do it.
This really scared Sima Yi. With the horn-like momentum in the city outside the city, he could easily withstand Xuchang City. If the Chang'an Corps were annihilated, he would have lost his lips and teeth, and he patted his thighs with sadness. He was particularly depressed and ran down the city tower while roaring sadly.
"Come here! Get ready! I want to see Mr. Cao in person! I can't be impulsive!"
When Sima's old turtle had a plan, he fooled Cao Zhang to rescue Yu Jin's prisoners who were imprisoned by Cao Ren's army, but he didn't expect that this strategy would actually come true! Yu Jin, Cao Ren's remaining soldiers were imprisoned by Guan Yu in Wancheng, with a total of more than 13,000 people, nearly 1,000, and more than 12,000.
Wancheng has armies! And he has been imprisoned for more than a month, and in the era without international law, the anger in these captured Cao troops can be imagined!
Early in the morning, with loud shouts, tens of thousands of Cao troops held high a sword in anger and roared into the fake prisoner-of-war camp arranged by Guan Yu, chopping the Jingzhou troops guarding the rear army into pieces like wheat in the autumn, and chopping them to the ground one after another.
In the central army, five hundred iron cavalry really plunged into the crowd like tanks. Wherever they passed, the spectacular scene of people rushing over and overturning was revealed again.
Just as Sima Yi hurried out of the East City, the Chang'an army of the front army also rushed into the army fiercely. Just as he watched, Guan Yu's majestic Guan flag collapsed down, and he couldn't help but slapped his thighs with sadness.
"No!"
