The overwhelming iron sand and locusts pounced over like a locust, without any accurate heads, and the cavalry in front were also overwhelming.

Just like a strong wind encountered a large area of ​​sorghum, it suddenly fell down.

Cao Renxin was bleeding in the formation. With just one blow, there was a missing piece of the front army, and I don’t know how many people were brought down.

But the charge continues and cannot stop. If you stop at this time, you will be a living target.

However, a distance of several hundred meters is not a problem for the cavalry, so the artillery immediately formed a formation after the shell was fired. Except for the gunners who continued to load, everyone else picked up spears and shields to defend.

Chen Lan's troops reacted quickly and gathered quickly. Large shields with high door panels were connected one by one, and there were support inside, and a long spear was stabbed out from the gap.

Behind the shield was an archer, shooting at an elevation angle, and the cavalry rushed up, with extremely fast speed. When it reached more than 200 meters, the feather arrows of the cavalry arrived. The feather arrows were of average effect on the cavalry wearing iron armor, but the cavalry also fell off their horses.

It turned out that there were many barbed wire mesh on the ground, and the war horses were unprepared. They fell down even if they met.

"Shooting the Arrow"

As the general ordered the gong to break his throat, the feather arrows swished over.

Hundreds of cavalry fell in front of the barbed wire, and many war horses broke their necks on the spot.

The arrows hit the cavalry like rain.

Lu Bu saw it clearly that the armor of these Cao army cavalry was still very good, and it was difficult for bows and arrows to shoot through.

Chen Lan also discovered the problem and immediately let the crossbow cart stretch out from the gap in the shield.

"Shoot the arrow."

The attack power of the crossbow cart is very strong. As long as it is hit, no matter whether it is a person or a horse, it will be finished.

But without any accuracy, it is still very powerful to deal with the cavalry in the cluster.

In this round, hundreds of crossbow arrows flew out and pierced hundreds of cavalry.

Cao Ren's heart was bleeding, but there was no way, so he could only charge forward at this time.

The cavalry broke through several iron wires, only a few dozen meters away from the infantry position, and bows and arrows kept shooting at them.

Chen Lan's army began to suffer casualties.

However, Cao's army suffered even greater casualties. The infantry threw sharp short spears and fire thunder bombs, especially the fire thunder bombs. The war horses were frightened and were out of control and ran around.

"Oh, withdraw."

Before contact, more than half of the casualties were killed and killed. Cao Ren sighed and led the cavalry to retreat.

Come whenever you want, go whenever you want? Where is such a good thing in the world?

Feng Xiong and Huaji led two cavalrymen to attack left and right, using maces to deal with armored cavalry. As long as they hit, the ship armor would be useless.

Cao Ren returned to the city. When he returned to the city, there were only more than a thousand cavalrymen.

Seeing that Xingyang was in danger, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I pulled out my sword and wiped it on my neck.

With a sound of harshness, his personal soldiers stopped him with a knife.

Cheng Yu came over and angrily scolded: "Before the battle is over, you should act like this woman. How can you be worthy of your lord? When you are completely defeated, it is not too late to wipe your neck."

Cao Ren was saved, but he was in a bad mood. He was actually conquered by Lu Bu.

It is only more than 200 miles from Xingyang to Xudu, and Cao Cao has already received the news.

Lu Bu's 70,000 troops attacked Xingyang. Cao's army was ready to fight and began to carry out large-scale civil engineering operations outside Xudu City, digging trenches, digging pits, and arranging horse-rejecting horses.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Xu Du is restless, just like a solid wall, but in the eyes of the wealthy families of experts, this is a matter of silence. Although Xu is protected by the fortifications, it is difficult for Xu Du's army to go out by the same token.

What's more, the north gate of Xudu was gone in Xingyang.

Cao Cao's head-on illness was recurring, and he was half dead in bed.

Guo Jia presided over the leadership, and civil officials and military generals expressed their opinions one after another.

Xu Chu was the first to stand up: "Xingyang must be rescued, Cao Ren is the pillar of the army and the lord's right-hand man."

Jia Xu glanced at Xu Chu disdainfully: "This is the simplest way to surround the point and attack the support. If you go to rescue, you will just fall into Lu Bu's trap."

"In order to save my brother, even if you have to go, you will have to go. If you are afraid of death, you won't have to go, so I'll go."

Xu Chu was a famous troll. Except for Cao Cao, everyone else criticized him.

Guo Jia was actually very embarrassed. This was a desperate move. It was rationally said that he should not go to save him because Xu Du didn’t have many soldiers and did not have enough defense.

But if you don't save people, your heart will scatter. Cao Ren is Cao Cao's cousin. If you don't save such generals, what will other martial arts think? "Xu Du's defense mission is heavy and he can't draw too many troops. The mission here is to save Cao.

General Ren and Military Advisor Cheng Yu, who is willing to go there?"

"I will go there at the end." Xu Chu and Xu Huang both stood up.

Xu Chu was Cao Cao's personal general, and he was responsible for Cao Cao's safety, so he naturally could not be sent.

"Xu Huang, take your 8,000 troops to help Xingyang, be careful and rescue Cao Ren and Cheng Yu."

"Get orders."

Xu Huang received the order arrow and turned around to go out to mobilize troops.

Xu Huang's elite troops were 8,000, of which only 2,000 cavalry and 6,000 infantry.

The reinforcements were like putting out fires, and Xu Huang hurriedly set out.

Jia Xu next to him understood that Lao Guo didn't want to send troops to rescue him, but if he didn't go to save Tumo Xingzi, he could spray him to death, so he sent 8,000 elite soldiers of Xu Huang's army to rescue him. But they were infantry, more than 200 miles away, and it would take at least three days to arrive.

When Xu Huang led his army to arrive, the cucumber and vegetables were cold.

Xu Huang led his troops to set off, and the team was the elders.

Xu Huang and a group of deputy generals rode horses in parallel, and there was a deputy general next to him, Xu Huang's cousin Xu Jie.

"Brother, it's dangerous to go here."

"The situation is like this, no one will go except us. Xu Chu can't go, and others can't go. Only I can go. I went over and dived into the trap set by Lu Bu, but there is no way, let's see it then."

Xu Huang is really unambiguous. He marched for eighty miles a day, which was already extremely fast for a mixed team of infantry and cavalry. If he walked faster, the soldiers would be exhausted.

On the third day, Xu Huang's army and Xuzhou army finally met.

Comparing eight thousand people with an army of sixty or seventy thousand is a drizzle.

The trap had been arranged long ago. Lu Bu led the headquarters to 12,000 Xuzhou cavalry in the center, the left wing Song Xian team was 5,000 soldiers, and the right wing Hou Cheng team formed a pincer-shaped attacking team, wanting to eat Xu Huang in one bite.

Especially the two wings are equipped with a large number of double-bow crossbows. Xuzhou, which solves the food problem, has a huge team of craftsmen. In addition, it has steel, and the steel-wood composite double-arm crossbows are very worry-free. There are 300 crossbows on both sides, aiming at the opposite Xu Huang and eight thousand soldiers.

In the west wind, Lu Bu sat on the Red Rabbit Horse and bowed to Xu Huang: "Gongming, I'll be together for several years, and I'll be fine."

"I don't have to worry about it. Xu eats well and sleeps soundly."
