Overlord!

Chapter 294: The formation kills Dian Wei, Zhang Liao shows unparalleled courage

Zhang Liao personally fought hard, charged into the battle, and directly led his cavalry to defeat thousands of Cao Jun's rear troops. Zhou Yu followed with an army. Thousands of cavalry were so powerful that Cao Jun was unable to resist and was quickly defeated.

However, Zhou Yu did not order the pursuit. Instead, he restrained the three armies, rushed forward, and continued to pursue the main force of Cao's army.

In this situation, the loss of thousands of people was already a heavy blow to Cao's army. Cao's army did not have many soldiers to fight, and one of them was defeated in a devastating manner. Cao's army was immediately horrified.

But Zhang Liao was unstoppable at this moment. He killed two generals of Cao's army in formation, shouted his name and fought, moving forward in an indomitable manner.

Cao Cao, who was attacking Aocang in Dule, heard the news from the rear that Jiangdong cavalry was coming. For a moment, he felt like the world was spinning and he had a splitting headache.

He cried sadly: "Heaven wants me to die here!"

"Cao Gong!"

"Cao Gong!"

Wen and Wu who were guarding him saw Cao Cao falling from his horse and quickly stepped forward to help him up. However, Cao Cao was also in a state of embarrassment at this time, and his body was covered with mud and soot.

His defeat was no better than that of Chibi. He had no way to retreat. He was intercepted in front and pursued by soldiers behind him. It could be said that he was cornered.

Cao Ang, who was following him, cursed angrily: "When Sun Ce failed to persuade him to surrender, he immediately killed him and turned against him faster than he could turn the pages of a book! What a rogue!"

Cao Cao put his hand on Cao Ang's head and said sadly: "This side is so majestic that I feel ashamed to be inferior to you. I only pity my son in his prime, so he will kill him. I am ashamed to be a father! All other generals can surrender." Grandson, I still retain my glory and wealth, but my son cannot surrender, otherwise I will be killed by him."

Cao Pi on the side was very angry and said: "Father, there are still thousands of elites in our camp. If we defend on this slope, we may not be defeated by Sun Ce's cavalry."

"That's right, Mr. Cao, we would rather fight to the end than surrender to the Jiangdong bandits!" Dian Wei also waved his halberd and roared. His body was covered in blood. It was he who led the troops to resist Yuan Jun's cavalry along the way, and then followed him. Cao Cao set up an ambush and fought bravely to defeat Yuan Jun's pursuers.

Because of his desperate fighting, Cao Cao was able to escape Yuan Jun's entanglement.

It can be said that if Sun Ce had not decisively sent troops, even if the imperial court refused to enter the pass, Cao Cao would have been able to rely on Aocang to store grain and suspend his position.

Seeing that his subordinates were very angry, Cao Cao was emboldened by this and said, "I will have no peace until the rogues die. Today we will fight to the death with the Jiangdong bandits here!"

It's just that the person facing Cao Cao is Zhou Yu, the famous general in the world!

As the world was gradually wiped out, Sun Ce had almost half of the world. The famous generals in Jiangdong became more and more famous and became the most powerful generals in the world.

As the leader of the Jiangdong generals, Zhou Yu was majestic and used troops like a god. He became a prominent general like Han Xin, Wei Qing, Deng Yu, Li Jing, and Xu Da.

Cao's army heard that Zhou Yu personally led the troops and was so frightened by his world-famous reputation that thousands of them were defeated without a fight.

Cao Cao's persistent battle was met with a head-on attack before it even began. Thousands of defeated troops fled across the mountains and plains in front of his formation.

It is really not an easy task to stabilize the morale of the army and fight against the enemy when the army is defeated like a mountain.

Although Cao Cao's army had nearly 3 men, due to the panic and defeat and the lack of food and grass, Cao Cao could only effectively control a few thousand elite troops.

If Cao Cao is given a buffer of more than a hundred miles, allows him to set up camp to reunite his scattered soldiers, and then reorganize the morale of the army, he can regain his strength in a month or even half a month.

But now, Cao Cao could only watch as Cao Jun's stragglers fled down the slope.

Cao Ang has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. He personally led his guards to gather the defeated troops in the rear, intending to disperse and regroup.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu didn't give him a chance at all. Soon after the defeated soldiers appeared, Jiangdong's cavalry came after them.

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment when he saw Cao's army setting up a defensive formation on the slope, and then his face burst into ecstasy. The one who can gather Cao's army now must be Cao Cao.

According to the reward for challenging Cao Cao's petition, whoever gets Cao Cao's head will be granted the title of five thousand nobles!
This is a reward that all our allies can receive.

If he, Zhang Liao, can take the lead in conferring the title of five thousand feudal lords, when Jiangdong conquers the world, he, Zhang Liao, will become the most prominent general in Jiangdong!
So Zhang Liao immediately roared with anger and ordered to his general Cao Xing: "Ride Sima, you immediately lead the cavalry to attack the enemy Chen to explore the enemy's strength."

Cao Xing took the order and immediately led dozens of cavalry forward on horseback, charging towards his right formation, and fired at full speed, with arrows and stones flying wildly.

As a result, the formation of Cao's army was not in chaos. Cao Xing was furious and led more than ten cavalry into the formation. They beheaded four levels and returned. However, Cao's army still defended under the slope.

Cao Xing's right arm was injured and he had to return to Zhang Liao and said: "General, Cao's army seems to be intent on fighting to the death, and it is difficult to defeat it head-on."

Zhang Liao had already noticed this problem while watching the battle just now.

No matter how fierce Zhang Liao was, he could not lead his cavalry to rush up the slope. The Wu army who killed himself in the battle of Xiaoyaojin was angry for it. Sun Quan led his guards to guard the slope, and it was difficult for him to attack. He shouted his name below and wanted to Sun Quan came down to fight.

But with a hundred thousand troops behind Sun Quan, Cao's army was already at the end of its rope!

Zhang Liao immediately ordered: "Dismount the entire army and form formations to defeat the enemy!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, nearly a thousand cavalry from his unit quickly gathered from all directions.

These soldiers are all elite warrior knights who can mount their horses to look for opportunities and dismount to shoot.

Nearly a thousand elite Xuanjia soldiers gathered and were arranged horizontally, more than three miles wide. The same square formation was towering, with flags flying.

Zhang Liao rode in front of the formation and shouted: "The whole army is ready."

Nearly a thousand soldiers immediately bent their bows and set arrows, drawing their bows like a full moon.

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

As Zhang Liao roared again and again, thousands of archers fired arrows, and Cao Jun felt the dense arrows coming in a steady stream.

Soldiers kept falling down after being hit by arrows, wailing and screaming.

Cao's army, which was already at the end of its rope, had already exhausted its arrows and stones in the battle with Yuan Shao's army, and had to draw its sword to kill the enemy.

Now faced with Zhang Liao's troops covering the ground with stones, there is absolutely nothing they can do.

They didn't even have room to go down the slope, because behind Zhang Liao's troops, the larger Jiangdong cavalry had arrived, looking at Cao Jun with eager eyes.

As long as they move and reveal a flaw, hundreds of cavalry will immediately cover up their weakness, riding horses from the flanks and crushing Cao's army into powder.

When Zhang Liao also saw the arrival of his own reinforcements, he immediately drew back his bow and arrows, dismounted with his halberd, took the lead, and shouted: "The whole army attacks!"

Nearly a thousand soldiers immediately lined up and moved forward, blocking the wall and fighting towards the slope.

How could Cao's army, which was hungry and tired, withstand the onslaught of such elite soldiers?
These are nearly a thousand elite soldiers who are over seven feet seven inches tall!

Jiangdong's most elite troops gathered here and attacked bravely. The offensive was so fierce that even Cao's army would not be able to stop it on weekdays, not to mention that they were in a panic now.Zhou Yu led his army to garrison at the rear. Watching Zhang Liao's troops advance forward and fall into the formation suddenly, he smiled and said to Liu Ye, who was supervising the army beside him: "With General Zhang's bravery, our army will definitely defeat the enemy. The cavalry surrounded him from all sides, making it difficult for Cao Cao to fly."

Liu Ye was also a little shocked at this moment. He had never seen so many elite troops from Jiangdong gathered on a battlefield and took advantage of the situation to attack.

He is a counselor, or a strategist, who always advocates victory with more.

Before marching, he thought that the five thousand Jiangdong cavalry would have to fight to the death to defeat Cao's army.

After all, it is difficult for the cavalry to get an advantage when attacking the grand formation of the infantry head-on.

If the cavalry collides rashly, even if thousands of Cao's troops are defending in formation, the cavalry may suffer heavy casualties.

Since ancient times, the battles in which the cavalry was severely damaged were all caused by the cavalry generals being arrogant and arrogant, using their cavalry to attack the infantry phalanx head-on.

The most famous one is of course the Battle of Jieqiao. Gongsun Zan shocked the tens of thousands of border troops and elite cavalry in the northern border, but was defeated by Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of state troops.

But the current scene, with thousands of soldiers arrayed and fighting, invincible, gave Liu Ye an eye-opening feeling.

At this moment, he felt in a daze that Jiangdong seemed to have an absolute military advantage.

The black armor cavalry that Wu Hou spent a lot of money to build finally showed its unparalleled strategic value in this battle.

And just a few miles away from Liu Ye, Cao Pi, the legitimate son next to Cao Cao, also looked pale.

He had never commanded a battle of this level before. He only talked about it on paper, thinking that if he led the elite Cao army to defend the slope, and the Jiangdong Army cavalry charged, they would suffer heavy casualties, and they might even behead the enemy generals and defeat the enemy army.

But when the two armies really clashed, he understood why Zhao Kuo was defeated miserably at the hands of Bai Qi.

The enemy's famous general is good at fighting and has the ability to make decisive decisions in battle. He is simply a veteran on the battlefield and is rarely matched by his opponent.

Cao Pi gave him a profound lesson, letting him know what it means that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world.

This kind of battlefield strategy and improvisation is something that a young man like him, who is still in his infancy, cannot compare with.

At this moment, he finally understood why his father only talked about a fight to the death, but not about a chance of victory.

At this time, Cao Jun had no other choice but to fight to the death!

Dian Wei also saw this situation, immediately put on double heavy armor, clasped his fists at Cao Cao, and said: "Mr. Cao, the enemy will be brave and strong, with sharp edges, like a long sword cutting through bamboo, they will move forward. If you can't Destroy its front, and the enemy will attack our army in one go. Please lead dozens of dead soldiers, tit for tat, and destroy the front and sharp edge. If we can kill the enemy general in formation, it will be a blessing for our army."

Cao Cao nodded. Although he had a splitting headache, he also knew that what Dian Wei said was the best military strategy and was the key to breaking the situation.

If we cannot break the enemy's momentum, the enemy will advance forward and their morale will be high, then we will undoubtedly be defeated.

Now we can only hope that Dian Wei will fight to the death and destroy one of them, causing the enemy to retreat hastily and their morale to drop.If this is the case, the enemy's morale will decline and it will be difficult to make a strong effort, and they will have to retreat to reorganize.

But how easy is it to achieve such a feat?
Those who are attacking are the most elite generals and soldiers in Jiangdong. They are all covered in black armor, have sophisticated weapons, are well-trained, and are proficient in assassination techniques.

In order to defeat such a military formation composed of brave generals and sharp soldiers, who can not risk the edge and bear the wounds?

Generals like Li Shimin, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong had dozens of wounds on their bodies, countless bruises in their bodies, and countless deaths.

These Jiangdong Xuanjia elites who are attacking the city have practiced killing skills for many years. When the enemy troops rush up, they will kill nearly ten people by themselves. Their killing skills, stabbing skills, sword skills, and spear skills are all superb. There is a huge difference.

Even if Dian Wei was wearing double heavy armor, it would not help at all.

As he led his army to defeat the enemy head-on, the two sides met at hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could not be heard.

This art of clashing gold and iron is not the intersection of blades, but the sound of swords and spears slashing and piercing the fine black armor.

Where they collide, sparks fly.

Dian Wei only killed three people, and his long sword was curled.

There is no way, no matter how sharp the blade is sharpened before the battle, it will bend and break when cut on the black armor, or even collapse.

Experienced soldiers all know that when sharpening spears and swords, they should not be sharpened too sharp. If the blade is too sharp, the blade will be thin and easy to curl.It cannot be sharpened too bluntly, as it will not be able to cut through the enemy's defense.

The key is to keep the long knife with a certain thickness, while the blade surface is smooth and the overall angle is beveled.

Only with this kind of blades and spears can they remain sharp and not easily curled up when being slashed and stabbed with elite heavy armor.

But Cao Jun had lost all his baggage and logistics, and even grindstones, which each army was equipped with three pieces as standard, were hard to find.

Dian Wei could only hurriedly bring his weapons to meet Jiangdong's most elite soldiers.

Within less than a moment of the confrontation between the two armies, Zhang Liao's elite soldiers killed more than [-] of Dian Wei's dead soldiers!
The evaluation of Jiangdong's elite and excellent equipment was deeply imprinted in Dianwei's mind.

He himself has been injured three times!

These three injuries were major injuries. The sharp blade directly pierced through the two layers of armor, leaving huge bloody wounds on his body.

There were countless attacks that slashed, stabbed, and were blocked by heavy armor.

He was hit by several arrows in the chest. The cold arrows penetrated the two layers of heavy armor and shot into his body.

Arrows of this strength were obviously shot within ten steps at close range. Jiangdong Xuanjia Iron Cavalry not only had superb assassination skills, but the soldiers also had great confidence in their own archery skills.

This is simply the scene of elite soldiers surrounding and killing ferocious beasts.

As the fierce battle continued, the long sword and heavy halberd in Dian Wei's hand could no longer be used. He held a corpse of a Jiangdong soldier in his left and right arms and fought hard.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu's face hardened and he said, "A real tiger warrior! What kind of supernatural power did our army have to defeat such a powerful enemy in the past?"

Zhang Fei immediately stood up and shouted: "General, this is just a defeated general under someone, please go and seize it!"

Liu Ye laughed and said: "Good! Good! Good! Our army is so brave that it can defeat tens of thousands of enemies, even gods and ghosts! Why do the Marquis of Wu worry that he cannot bring peace to the world?"

Everyone was deeply shocked by what Liu Ye said, and their hearts were filled with emotions.

It is indeed as he said. This kind of brave and invincible general can be defeated head-on by his own side. He is really brave to the point of shocking.

But before Zhou Yu could respond, the cheers of the three armies rang out from the front line.

Jiangdong's fierce general, Zhang Liao, who was the most brave among the three armies, personally faced the charge. He roared and pierced Dian Wei's chest with his long spear, directly nailing him to the battle formation! (End of chapter)
