Chapter 172: The Bloody Way Back (4)
Taking a deep breath, Ju Yi tried his best to calm down his mind and command the battle. The most important thing is to be calm. Impatient and restless are often the foreshadowing of defeat. Then, Ju Yi issued a series of orders, and he divided more than 10,000 soldiers under him into three teams. The first team was the sword and shield. He built a line of defense with a shield fifty steps in front of Ao Lie's circumference formation; the second team was the crossbowmen. They stood after the defense line built by the sword and shieldmen, and they were ready to scatter Ao Lie's troops at any time; the third team was the cavalry team, which temporarily stayed by Ju Yi, and just waited for Ju Yi to think that the fighter plane appeared, they would launch a charge and drill through the formation of Ao Lie's troops.
Seeing the level distribution of the enemy, Ao Lie's heart suddenly sank. Fortunately, a large number of crossbowmen under Yuan Shao and others were on the mountains on both sides of the official road, and they didn't have time to go down the mountain to join the battle. Otherwise, with Ju Yi's arrangement, he and others would have only the only way to get killed.
Waving to Xu Rong, Ao Lie said seriously: "The current situation is critical, and General Xu is troubled to take charge of the overall situation and resist the enemy." Xu Rong did not expect that Ao Lie had just joined Ao Lie's command, and Ao Lie was entrusted with such an important task at such a critical moment. Xu Rong deeply understood the four words "Using people without doubt". Xu Rong bowed to Ao Lie and answered briefly: "Thank you for your trust. I am here, and the position is there."
After jumping onto a large stone nearby, Xu Rong began to dispatch troops.
"The order to Ma Chao should be ordered to find a way to expand the battlefield, and it is best to mix all the coalition forces of the princes into the battle."
"The command to lead Huang Zhong to attack Ju Yi's former army, and it is necessary to destroy the enemy's shield formation."
"Teach Taishi Ci, wait until the shield formation is broken and kill at all costs. Try to severely damage the enemy crossbowmen and break up their establishment."
"The order Zhao Yun was sent to lead a team of elite troops to find the weak points of the enemy's army, break through the encirclement and seek help from Wen Hou."
"Xu Chu, Dian Wei, lead a hundred elite troops to protect the lord. Once the enemy's gap appears, immediately protect the lord from the battlefield."
Xu Rong issued a series of orders in an orderly manner. Under the command of Xu Rong, the soldiers under Ao Lie began to move quickly. Zhao Yun broke out from the inner circle of the square formation and wandered around with dozens of elite blood-killing camps, looking for the flaws of the coalition forces. Before the coalition forces arrived, he fought bloody battles from a weak point in the encirclement and chased Lu Bu along the northwest road.
Ma Chao danced the tiger-headed golden spear and activated Shalifei to sit down and lead five thousand elite tigers to rush around the battlefield, like a tornado blew up, which not only successfully curbed Zhang Yang's subordinates' harassing tactics, but also swept all other vassal coalition forces on the battlefield, forming a melee.
Huang Zhong danced the Red Blood Sword of the Set Sun as if it were flying dragons outside the sky. The power of the Silver Dragon Moon Locking Sword Technique was fully demonstrated, and he led a team of elite blood-killing camp to attack the shield formation set up by Ju Yi. After seeing Xu Rong's arrangement, Ju Yi felt annoyed. The formation he had just set up was so easy to crack by Xu Rong. Ju Yi arranged the crossbowmen who were retreating by Ju Yi before they even had time to fire a volley. Ma Chao had already fought with Zhang Yang and other princes. If Ju Yi continued to order the arrows, he would inevitably hurt friendly troops. Ju Yi could not bear the charge of shooting friendly troops on the battlefield.
Seeing Huang Zhong's sword like a dragon, Ju Yi pointed at Huang Zhong's troops and shouted angrily: "Boundist! Target Huang Zhong's troops, shoot arrows!" There was no other coalition of princes mixed in between Ju Yi's shield formation and Huang Zhong's troops. It was just enough to allow the crossbowman to show his might. However, Ju Yi forgot that he had just ordered the crossbowman to retreat, and now he suddenly let the crossbowman stand up again and shoot at Huang Zhong's troops. There will inevitably be an adjustment process in the middle. Although this process is short, it still delays the crossbowman's movements. When the crossbowman returns to the shield formation, he just shot a rain of arrows, and Huang Zhong's troops had already killed before the shield formation, causing the crossbowman to fall into an embarrassing situation that is powerful and ineffective.
All of this was within Xu Rong's calculations. Xu Rong deliberately issued orders one by one to mobilize the crossbowman commanded by Ju Yi. First, based on the position of the crossbowman, Ma Chao led his army to disrupt the situation, causing Ju Yi to dare not order archery. He estimated that Ju Yi would definitely withdraw the crossbowman and let the last cavalry team throw themselves into the battlefield. So he immediately asked Huang Zhong to lead the army to protrude the battle formation and take the shield formation in front of Ju Yi. Because Zhang Yang and other vassal coalitions were bypassed from both sides, Ju Yi's only one of the troops in the middle of the battlefield, Xu Rong calculated that Ju Yi would re-transfer the crossbowman, and with this buffer, the damage to Huang Zhong's troops could be greatly reduced. Every order of Ju Yi was in Xu Rong's calculations.
After Huang Zhong swung his sword to block a round of arrow rain, he had already arrived before the Yuan Jun shield formation. The red blood sword in his hand fell from mid-air with Huang Zhong's roar. The sharp blade with Huang Zhong's huge power easily broke several round shields, and together with Yuan Jun's sword and shield hand behind the shield, he cut for two pieces. After breaking the shield formation a gap, Huang Zhong instigated the war horse and fought forward. After breaking through three shield formations one after another, Huang Zhong had already arrived in front of Yuan Jun's crossbowmen. The crossbowmen who had lost the protection of the infantry and shield formation and lacked melee ability were like a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered, looking at Huang Zhong's tiger in horror.
Huang Zhong roared again and swung his sword into the group of crossbowmen, which was no less than a tiger entering the group of sheep. When Huang Zhong was rampant in the Yuan army's crossbowmen formation, the elites of the blood killing camp of Huang Zhong's troops had already rushed to the front of the Yuan army's shield formation. Several elites of the blood killing camp formed a small battle formation, echoing each other along the gap that Huang Zhong broke, rushing horizontally, expanding the gap in the shield formation a little again. Every time the gap in the shield formation expands, an elites of the blood killing camp will pounce on them regardless of their own, blocking the gap in the shield formation to prevent the gap in the shield formation from being closed.
After all, the gap is just a gap, and it can only accommodate a small number of blood-killing elites to rush into the gap. Most of the blood-killing elites who came with Huang Zhong could only use a head-on fight, flatly picked up the seven-foot-long slashing sabre in their hands, held it on the three-foot-long sabre handle with both hands, used the sabre as a spear, aimed at the middle of Yuan Jun's wooden shield, and stabbed it hard.
The wooden shield in Yuan Jun's hand was pierced by a heavy slashing sabre, and the narrow blade of the sabre pierced into Yuan Jun's body holding the shield. The bright red blood splattered out along the deep wound, and the blade of the sabre was so breathtaking.
Although Yuan Shao was reluctant to use a large amount of iron to make shields for the soldiers, he also knew that the advantages and disadvantages of weapons and equipment in battle would play a crucial role in the outcome of the war. Therefore, the shields in Yuan Jun were made of solid wood. Although they were pierced by the sharp and heavy slashing sabre, they successfully stuck the sabre on the shield, making it impossible for the elites of the Blood Killing Camp to draw out the sabre and swing again in a short time.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the slashing saber was stuck on the shield, Yuan Jun's sword and shield hands abandoned the wooden shield in their hands, pulled out the battle sword and slashed at the elites of the Blood Killing Camp. The casualties appeared again among the elites of the Blood Killing Camp. As usual, every slashed blood Killing Camp only let out a muffled groan, but no one let out a painful howl. Pain could not suck their will; death could not cool their blood! Some sabered blood Killing Camp elites who were cut into the vital points knew that they were about to die, but could not tolerate their deaths. They let go of their hands holding the saberer, and rushed towards the enemy in front of them, using their last strength in their bodies to pounce on the ground. Under the trampling of the interweaving footsteps of both sides, they died with the enemy, causing chaos in Yuan Jun's sword and shield hands.
These elite blood killing camps who died with Yuan Jun won a short time for the living robes with their own sacrifice, allowing more elite blood killing camps to successfully pull out the sabre from the wooden shield. After drawing out the sabre, the elites of the living blood killing camps roared one after another, and swung the sabre in their hands towards Yuan Jun's sword and shield hands, bringing up more and more gorgeous blood mists.
Screams kept ringing in the Yuan army's formation, and the swords and shields standing in the front row were chopped to the ground in pieces, and the blood flowing out of their bodies that had lost their vitality dyed the nearby ground red.
Seeing that all the elites of the Blood Killing Camp were as brave as ten, Ju Yi waved behind him and said coldly: "Caval team, attack!" Thousands of cavalry who had been waiting behind Ju Yi for a long time raised their swords and guns, stepped on the belly of the horse sitting down, and rushed towards Huang Zhong's troops with shouts.
If the enemy does not move, I will move. If the enemy wants to move, I will move first. Xu Rong deeply understands the essence of military tactics. When he saw Ju Yi ordering the dispatch of cavalry in the chaos, he shouted to Taishi Ci across half of the battlefield: "General Ziyi, rush up!" Taishi Ci had already led a team of elite tigers to the center of the battlefield, fighting with Yuan Yi's troops on the left side of Ju Yi's troops. Hearing Xu Rong's shouting, he looked up and saw the movements of the cavalry behind Ju Yi, Taishi Ci roared and led the elite tigers around him to split the face.
The former opponent then turned and intercepted the cavalry sent by Ju Yi. The original task of the elite Tiger Ben led by Taishi Ci was to intercept the Yuan army cavalry and annihilate the crossbowmen of the Yuan army. Therefore, in the previous battle, Taishi Ci deliberately led his elite Tiger Ben to fight while approaching Ju Yi's troops without any trace. When he received Xu Rong's order, Taishi Ci's troops happened to be behind the Yuan army cavalry and could easily launch a horizontal attack on the Yuan army cavalry.
