Chapter 477 Battle of the Right Wing
Just as the left-wing Cao army collapsed, the right-wing Hengshan army also began to launch the final general offensive.

Prior to this, the right-wing Cao army took the lead in attacking because of its large number of troops, and the [-] troops charged the Hengshan army together.

Qin Yuanhao is strict in running the army and is best at defending.The four infantry divisions formed four phalanxes to challenge Cao Jun head-on.Of the three brigades of the cavalry division, two brigades protected the left and right wings, and one traveled outside the battlefield, waiting for opportunities.

The first is the confrontation of cavalry on both wings. Cao Jun's cavalry, five thousand on each wing, came aggressively.But the difference in combat power is not a little bit. After the charge failed and the price was not small, they immediately became cautious and did not dare to fight head-on. They just firmly pinned the enemy cavalry forward so that they could not reinforce the infantry.

At this time, Cao Jun's infantry finally arrived at the Hengshan phalanx.With an order, more than 30 small cannons in front of the Hengshan Army began to fire. The range of the shells was only more than 200 meters. When the shells fell into the enemy's formation, they immediately swept across and drew a clear blood path.

Cao Jun was shocked up and down, and the formation in front was faintly shaken, but in the end, under the coercion and lure of the warlord, he had to continue to move forward.After all, the impact of thirty small cannons is not that great. In a battlefield that stretches for several miles, it is just a drop in the ocean.

Immediately afterwards, the giant crossbow catapult began to show its power, and the sharp crossbow arrows and explosives fell into the enemy's formation, setting off a bloody storm.Cao Jun's entire front line was in chaos. Many people wanted to retreat, but they were immediately hacked to death by the warlord in the back row, and his head was cut off, shocking everyone.

When the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred, the huge crossbow throwing rocks behind Cao Jun finally played a role, and a crossbow arrow crossed the Hengshan position and passed through each body.The explosives fell into the formation and made a violent roar. Many soldiers were knocked to the ground, spitting blood.Fortunately, after many explosives of Cao's army fell into the Hengshan position, the fire-nian had not yet burned out, and they were immediately doused with water by the quick-sighted soldiers, or the fire-nian was pulled out forcefully.But under this wave of attacks, at least hundreds of soldiers were killed or injured.

At the same time, the distance between the two armies was no more than 50 meters.At this moment, a swarm of bees placed in the front line began to launch, and a series of rockets flew out of the line and scattered into Cao Jun's front line.

Before the smoke cleared, a row of crossbowmen standing behind the swarm squatted on the ground, quickly raised the crossbow, pulled the trigger towards the front, and then reloaded immediately without looking at it. Shoot a second wave of arrows.

At this time, the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and Cao Jun's front line was in a mess, with countless screaming and wailing wounded lying on the ground.

After shooting the second wave of crossbow arrows, the sword and shield phalanx at the back stepped forward and passed the front of the crossbowmen, and then the spearmen in the back row followed the sword and shield soldiers and advanced in an orderly manner.

"kill!"

Cao Jun had no time to react, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush towards the Hengshan Army. The lines of the two sides intersected and huddled together, winding and stretching for several miles.

The soldiers at the intersection front line violently slammed into each other's bodies, and the shields creaked here. In the extremely narrow space, the sword and shield soldiers had no room to draw their swords at all, so they could only hold the shield and try their best to withstand it. The power coming from the opposite side refused to give in.At this time, the spearmen in the back row and the sword and shield soldiers who could not squeeze in the front kept waving their swords and spears to kill the enemies on the opposite side.

At this time, the archers and various large equipment in the rear poured crossbow arrows and explosives at the enemy in front without stopping.

The war has been plunged into fierce battles from the very beginning. In the face-to-face confrontation, there is a big gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment and combat capabilities.

When Cao Jun slashed at the opponent's body, he felt the hand holding the knife tremble, and the tiger's mouth hurt.Taking a closer look, the knife only cut a shallow dent on the opponent's breastplate, but it couldn't break through the opponent's armor in one go.Just when Cao Jun was startled and angry, he was about to find other vulnerable parts to strike, but a spear from the opposite side was inserted into his chest, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Hengshan Army were not only well-equipped, but they also struck quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. With a single strike, the edge of the sword would crack, and they could not stop the opponent's sword from cutting themselves.But when the spear of our own army stabbed horizontally and pierced the Hengshan soldier's chest, he felt his body slip, and the spear tip slashed across the opponent's breastplate, bringing out a burst of sparks, and the stab unexpectedly missed.But at this time Xiang retracted it, but it was too late, he leaned forward, and was immediately slashed on the neck by the opponent, and blood shot out immediately, staining the faces of the surrounding enemy soldiers and soldiers red.

After less than half an hour of the battle, corpses piled up on the front lines of the two armies, and the soldiers on both sides stepped on the corpses under them and continued to harvest life.

But at this time, Cao Jun was timid and panicked. Most of the corpses under their feet were their own people. , Countless Cao Jun soldiers died in battle and were trampled underfoot.

At this moment, a crack more than ten meters wide suddenly opened in the middle of the Hengshan phalanx.With a heavy rumbling sound, a cavalry brigade passed through it and rushed towards Cao Jun's formation.

Originally, the front line was already in chaos, and Cao Jun's soldiers were unprepared at all, and they were killed by three thousand cavalry at once, rushing into Cao Jun's formation.

Cao Jun's defense line was broken through a huge gap, and the surrounding Hengshan Army flooded back like a flood, taking advantage of the situation to rush into the enemy's formation, constantly eating away at the enemy's gap, and following the horseshoes of the cavalry, they continued to penetrate deeper.

At this time, although General Cao Jun continued to mobilize troops in an attempt to seal the gap, he was already powerless.How could the mighty Hengshan army be repelled so easily? With cavalry as the tip of their swords and elite infantry as their blades, the army rushed from left to right in the enemy's formation, killing them vertically and horizontally.

"Defeated, defeated! We are not opponents, run!" Cao Jun soldiers could no longer bear such a cruel battle, shouted in despair, and fled in all directions, never wanting to face the Hengshan Army again.

A total of nearly one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, after a chaotic rout in front, the rout soldiers rolled back and formed a huge turbulent flow, colliding with each other.

"kill!"

Seeing this, the Hengshan Army immediately launched a general attack on Cao Jun, no longer caring about the formation, formed a team of twos and threes with each other, and killed Cao Jun who was scattered and fleeing in the wild.

Seeing his own defeat, General Cao Jun had to gather the remnants and fled to Huayuan City quickly.

In this battle, the right wing of Hengshan wiped out more than 3 enemies and took more than 1 prisoners. Cao Jun only had more than [-] people who fled back to Huayuan City.

But in this battle, the Hengshan Army also suffered more than [-] casualties.

After the enemy forces on the two wings were completely defeated, the Hengshan Army immediately joined together and put pressure on Huayuan City together.

At this time, in Huayuan City, Cao's army was gloomy. The original 30 troops lost half of their strength in this battle.For Cao Ji, this was like a bolt from the blue. He spat out blood from the beating, and fell unconscious on the spot.

With Cao Ji's coma, Cao's army was panicked and had no intention of fighting.With no leader among the dragons, all the generals gathered together to discuss the future matters, and finally unanimously decided that Huazhou can no longer stay, and must escort the king back to the country as soon as possible.

The next day, Cao Jun opened the east gate and escorted Cao Ji to evacuate to Tianjingguan.

Of course, the Hengshan army could not just sit idly by, Lin Yifan immediately led the army to pursue Cao Jun, with the intention of taking Tianjing Pass and entering Zhongzhou.

In the end, Cao Jun finally rushed back to Tianjing Pass after abandoning most of his soldiers and horses after cutting off his tail several times in a row to survive.

The Hengshan Army routed through several groups of blocking troops, annihilating more than [-] people and capturing more than [-] Cao troops.In the end, only [-] remnants escaped from Huazhou.
