Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 281 Cao Ren's Ambush

Next, what shocked Cao Ren continued.

Unlike the Jizhou army under Zhang He on the other side of the Huguan Pass, there are serious Dahan County soldiers there anyway, while most of the soldiers on Cao Ren's side were still farming in the fields two months ago!

Although Cao Ren had intensively trained them for a period of time, it was still not enough to face the more than 3000 timid Xue army led by Su Butai in a short period of time.

You know, basically all the [-] cavalry on Zhang Xi's side were lost, let alone these infantry who had just trained for a short time?
I saw that Subutai led the scimitar iron cavalry behind him who killed people like melons and vegetables. After killing Cao Ren's first ambush in a single encounter, he continued to move forward like a sharp knife and rushed into Cao Ren at high speed. In the army formation of the second ambush!
boom!
The two armies collided, and Cao Jun's formation immediately shattered like ice melting and snow melting!
Swish!
Wherever the scimitar passed, there were flying heads all over it!

At this moment, Cao Ren's fists were clenched tightly, his heart was bleeding. After today, Meng De's plan to capture Shangdang might suffer setbacks.

Beside Cao Ren, Cheng Yu stared blankly at the scene on the battlefield, and asked Cao Ren in disbelief:

"This, this is the power of cavalry combat?"

At this moment, Cao Ren was full of resentment, and he said to Cheng Yu, "That's right, on this kind of plain, if the infantry can't form a defensive formation against the cavalry, they can only face the cavalry's charge."

Cao Ren still couldn't utter the words "let others slaughter him".

Cheng Yu asked Cao Ren in a trembling voice, "Then if you want to wipe out this group of cavalry today, you have to..."

"Fill it with human life."

Cao Ren replied directly, and then said:

"I didn't expect Hua Xiong's cavalry to be so brave. Such cavalry must be Hua Xiong's main cavalry. We encountered it today, really."

"If the reinforcements of Zhang Yang and Gongsun Zan arrive here, we won't be like this. The matter has come to this point, and we have no other choice. If we withdraw at this time, the enemy will be cavalry and will be followed and killed. Let's not say anything. It’s also gone.”

"I hope Hua Xiong doesn't have many cavalrymen like this."

Listening to Cao Ren's words, Cheng Yu was silent for a long time.

He could see that the actions of those cavalry wielding scimitars seemed to be natural when they killed people. Cheng Yu sighed silently in his heart. He didn't tell Cao Ren directly that even if there were not many such cavalry under Hua Xiong, But definitely a lot.

If it is really a rare baby lump, how could it be possible to send it here?

Cao Ren is good at marching and setting up formations, so he might not see this step. Huh?No, Cheng Yu suddenly came to his senses. Although Cao Ren is a military general, he is better at commanding and dispatching, rather than fighting in front of the battle. Cao Ren's overall view is definitely the top existence among generals. Cao Ren should also be the one who thought of it just now. Can imagine.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu looked into Cao Ren's eyes, and found that Cao Ren's eyes really had a heavy shadow at this moment.

It was not grief for the countless deaths and injuries of his own soldiers on the battlefield in front of him, but a kind of worry and hesitation about the future.

Cao Ren could also see that Hua Xiong, a cavalryman like this, would have many of his subordinates. He just said that to comfort himself, or maybe he wanted to comfort Cheng Yu.

As if sensing Cheng Yu's gaze, Cao Ren turned his head to look at him, and Cheng Yu said softly, "General Zixiao, this is the end of the matter, let's do our best."

Cao Ren nodded solemnly, then turned and walked towards a high slope. Behind Cao Ren was a group of messengers holding different colored flags. Soon, Cao Ren came to the highest point of the battlefield.

Afterwards, Cao Ren gave orders to the messengers behind him in a low voice, and saw that the messengers began to fly flags of different colors in different directions according to Cao Ren's instructions, and every time a flag was shot, the ambushes of Cao's army lurking around the battlefield would immediately Make different changes.

On the battlefield, Subotai defeated Cao Jun's second ambush in a very short period of time. The tripping ropes, barbed wire and other things that Cao Ren had ordered to be released were gone before they could be taken out.

At this moment, before Subutai was proud, suddenly a large number of Cao Jun soldiers rushed out from the surrounding mountains and trails. Subutai looked at him, smiled, and said:

"Okay! Let me see how many people you have hidden!"

"Kill me!"

Saying that, Subotai brandished his sword and killed Cao Jun who was closest to him, and all the cowardly Xue Jun behind him followed like wolves and tigers!
At this time, following the order of Cao Ren on the hilltop, a military flag was unfurled, and the Cao army soldiers who were facing Subotai spread rapidly, and as the attacking targets dispersed, Subotai's side was afraid of Xue's army. Running and running, the formation became more dispersed.

When Cao Ren's second military flag was raised on the top of the mountain, the Cao army immediately bent down and squatted on the ground, and seeing the scimitar approaching in the blink of an eye, the hearts of these Cao soldiers were trembling!
Boom!
Suddenly, a cowardly cavalry soldier of Xue Army was about to swing the scimitar in his hand towards the infantry of Cao Army in front of him, but with a muffled sound, the next moment he suddenly found that the horse under him had lost his balance!

Moments later, the horse fell to the ground with a click, obviously the horse's leg was broken!
Only then did the cowardly Xue Jun notice that each of the scattered Cao Jun soldiers was holding a finger-thick hemp rope in their hands!

This simplest tripping rope is of course useless in the face of the piercing charge of the cavalry group, but with the dispersion of the formation of the Xue army just now, the sound of the horse's leg breaking has been heard again and again on the entire battlefield at this time!
At this moment, Cao Ren on the hillside unfurled the third military flag!
"Wow!"

The desolate horn sounded, and suddenly two more ambushes came out from the two wings of the cowardly Xue army. These two ambushes were the main force Cao Ren prepared for this speedy stage today!

Five thousand elite infantry surrounded by three thousand archers came out from both sides. The infantry lined up in front, and the archers behind them all fired their arrows!

When Subotai saw it, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he ordered:
"Everyone, rush forward!"

In the current situation, the order that the speed is not fast is undoubtedly correct, because the simple tripping ropes in the hands of Cao Jun in front are only disposable items. If the people in front fall down, the people behind can rush over!
However, after Cao Ren's fourth military flag was unleashed, another group of Cao Jun infantry rushed out of the forest in front. This time, the two thousand infantrymen who rushed out held special spears in their hands. It is four times as long as an ordinary spear, and only three people can lift one!
At present, the two thousand soldiers of Cao Jun armed with special spears lined up and directly faced the Qi Xue Jun on the opposite side, and at this time, Cao Ren on the top of the mountain unfurled a military flag again!
