Chapter 391 The Three-Leaded Xiliang Iron Cavalry's Serial Assault

Xichuan Gonglue went very smoothly. Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, two of Xichuan's two pillars of the sky, surrendered, and the other committed suicide. Looking at the whole of Xichuan, it is impossible to find another general who can turn the world around.
Xichuan is already in Sun Can's pocket.

Therefore, Liu Hua and Xu Shu did not take any action against Xichuan, and most of their troops were transferred to Xiameng Pass and Cao Cao's southern army battle.

Liu Hua and Xu Shu acted separately. Liu Hua's task was to persuade Liu Zhang, who had no resistance to surrender, while Xu Shu was on the front line to assist Zhang Fei in fighting against Cao Cao's Xi Zhicai and the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

After a month of hard work, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, and Yan Yan turned from defense to offense, repulsed Cao Cao's Southern Expedition troops under Xiameng Pass, and pressed all the way, almost killing them to the territory of Hanzhong.

Liu Hua's persuasion also achieved very good results. Counties and counties such as Wuyang, Zhu Ti, Jialing, and Guanghan all changed their flags and different flags, and offered Liu Hua a surrender.

Chengdu is already an isolated city.

*************************
Yongning, a small town and small county, is located on the edge of the Luoshui River. No one cares about it, and there is nothing special about it, but this small place is known to the world as if it has produced dragons, phoenixes and other gods and beasts.

It's a pity that Yongning County's reputation is not because of the dragon, phoenix and auspicious beast that can protect one side, but the accumulation of countless blood and corpses.

Because, after the battle of Sun Yuan, the biggest confrontation took place in this place.

In this battle, Sun Can invested a total of nearly 30 troops, and Cao Cao also took out all his family assets, not to be outdone, and put on a formation of 20 troops.

The two sides have invested more than 50 troops, which is the largest military struggle in the past [-] years except for the Sun Yuan battle.

On the outskirts of Yongning, the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

There are densely packed soldiers coming and going on the battlefield, both sides are elite divisions, and they are fighting bloody battles for different beliefs.

Looking at the battlefield from a high slope, Sun Can said to his confidant next to him, "Cao Cao is really extraordinary. He has trained such an outstanding team in a short period of time."

Standing behind him are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and Xu Chu.

"Indeed, from the army formation he set up, we can see that this man is not only excellent in strategy, but also very good in marching formation." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan relaxedly, looking far away from the army formation set up by Cao Cao, his eyes revealed A little thumbs up.He used to only hear the name of Cao Cao, but after these few months, he realized that Cao Mengde was three points more powerful than he imagined.

"But we still have to win." Guo Jia had already known the battle situation in his chest.

"Haha!" Jia Xu laughed and said, "That's natural. In the confrontation between battles, Cao Cao is a bit inferior to the lord!" The sublimation has reached another level, which makes Sun Can feel at ease, but it does not encourage his arrogance.

On the other side, Cao Cao frowned and looked at the battlefield with a trace of sweat oozing from his forehead. Although he tried everything he could, he still couldn't change the situation of the battle.

Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai on the left were evenly matched against Zhang Liao and Tai Shici on the left, while Yu Jin and Pound on the right were suppressed by Fan Wu and Huang Zhong on the other, and survived the danger.

The most dangerous one was the former army, who was directly dispatched and commanded by him. The tide of the opponent's offensive, coupled with Sun Can's ability to fight in front of the battle, the enormous pressure almost made him breathless.

"Zhongda, look..." Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. Although he was afraid of Sima Yi's potential ambition, he had to rely on his outstanding talent.

Sima Yi shook his head and said helplessly, "It's hard for the two of us to beat Sun Can in battle. It looks like we're going to lose again in this battle."

Sometimes, two people may not be able to accomplish what one person does, and the confrontation is unusual.This is not just a test of a commander's literary and military strategy.This also includes the grasp of the fighter, luck, speed, etc., among which the handle and speed of the fighter are the most important.

This is like playing chess. There are ten decisions in chess, and one of them is called "abandoning the first". It is the same on the battlefield. It is better to lose a team than to slow down the opponent.

Sun Can is indeed one or two inferior to Cao Cao in terms of strategy, but he has such an extraordinary talent in grasping the fighting opportunity, which is incomparable to Cao Cao and even Sima Yi.

Cao Cao alone is inferior to Sun Can in command, so he must combine the ingenuity of others to fight against him.Turning the wisdom of others into one's own wisdom is a necessary condition for being an excellent monarch.Undoubtedly, Cao Cao is an extremely outstanding monarch. He knows that he is not as good as Sun Can in commanding the entire army, so he will discuss with others, so he loses in speed. discovered their weaknesses.

Therefore, one of the important reasons why Cao Cao has been beaten by Sun Can in the past two months.That's why Sima Yi said that two people are not as good as one.

"Oh, that's true. Sun Can is really a dragon among men. When it comes to commanding battles, I am indeed inferior to him!" Cao Cao spoke highly of his only confidant opposite him.

"But Duke Ming's ingenuity is among Sun Can's. I think ingenuity is the key to victory." Sima Yi won't do it, but he can properly praise his lord to win his favor. This kind of opportunity is good at taking advantage of everything. Sima Yi still won't let it go.

"Ming Gong, it's time!" Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao's smiling face and suddenly suggested mysteriously.

"Is it too early?" Cao Cao's expression became extremely serious because of Sima Yi's words.

"This subordinate thinks the timing is just right!" Sima Yi's eyes flashed a gleam, and he pointed to the distant battlefield and said, "Please look, my lord, that Gao Po is the central army where Sun Can is, and their left wing, right wing, and front line The army has already begun to advance, and there is a long distance from where Sun Can is. As long as we can defeat the central army in a short time, we can kill Sun Can before the opponent's left and right wings react. There is a chance to kill him on the spot. Even if it fails, we can play tricks and defeat their central army."

"..." Cao Cao hesitated for a while, finally nodded, and made up his mind. He glanced at Sima Yi, then looked at the battlefield, and said in a chatty voice, "Go and invite General Ma Chao!"

*****************
"Huh!" Zhuge Liang stared at the battlefield, as if something strange had happened, "How did the Zhang Liao army on the left wing take the initiative so quickly? It shouldn't be, Ma Chao's talent is not inferior to General Zhang Liao's, and the two have been fighting evenly. It should not be possible to show defeat in such a short period of time, there should be fraud in it."

Among Sun Can's advisers, Zhuge Liang was the most proficient in strategy. He immediately discovered that Cao Jun's left wing had suddenly weakened.

"Ma Chao is gone. Of course the remaining Ma Tie and Ma Dai are not Wenyuan and Ziyi's opponents." Sun Can smiled faintly, unmoved.

"For..." Zhuge Liang was about to ask why, but just said "for", he found a group of people rushing out behind Cao Cao, and the leader was Ma Chao.

Sun Can said with a smile: "Cao Cao's front army is about to collapse. In order to defend the front army and prevent a big defeat, he transferred Ma Chao back and planned to save face with Xiliang iron cavalry."

After all, Sun Can snorted coldly, "How can a mere Xiliang iron cavalry change the situation of the battle." The Xiliang iron cavalry was powerful outside the Great Wall. Sun Can had heard of his name in his early years, but did not know his ability, and regarded him as the number one cavalry in the world.But only after the fight did he realize that the Xiliang iron cavalry was indeed the elite of the cavalry, but after two months of confrontation, Sun Can discovered that the Xiliang iron cavalry was by no means as magical as the rumors said.In terms of overall strength, it will not be stronger than the Baizhan Wolf Cavalry under Zhang Liao, but it is three points inferior to the Yuwei Army under his own command.At this moment, seeing him attacking, he didn't care.He believed that it would not be difficult to withstand the impact of Xiliang iron cavalry with his ability.As long as you resist for a moment, the left and right wings can win a decisive victory, and then the three armies will come out together, and you can kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor.

Hearing what Sun Can said, Zhuge Liang was no longer in doubt. Sun Can's commanding ability was obvious to all. In the two months of battles, Sun Can had no defeats. He asked himself that he could not do this. Continue to pay attention to changes in the battlefield.

"Order the sword and shield soldiers to form an array, and the spearmen to stay behind to form the second line of defense."

Sun Can immediately ordered to change the formation and switch from offense to defense.

He didn't take the Xiliang iron cavalry seriously, but he didn't ignore its powerful impact either.It would definitely be a disadvantage to fight against the Xiliang iron cavalry, but as long as they resisted their first wave of momentum, they could take the initiative.Cavalry without impact is not terrible in strength.

Hearing a sharp sound of the bone flute suddenly, Sun Can was dumbfounded at the next glance.

The Xiliang iron cavalry rushed into the defensive formation formed by the sword and shield soldiers with irresistible strength. The sword and shield soldiers were defeated by the Xiliang iron cavalry and scattered towards the spear position.However, the momentum is not as good as before.

But instead of continuing to charge forward, Ma Chao cleverly stabbed deeply to the side.

The Xiliang iron cavalry drew a semicircle and rushed back to Cao Cao's Chinese army.

"Ma Chao retreated?" Sun Can stared wide-eyed, but he was surprised to see that Ma Chao did not return to the camp, but adjusted his formation and reorganized his forces at an unimaginable speed.In a fast run, he made a circle, and once again quickly rushed into the second line of defense composed of pikemen.

This time it was more violent than the first time.

The second line of defense was defeated by Ma Chao again.

If so, Ma Chao launched a series of four consecutive assaults, and the former army commanded by Sun Can collapsed in an instant.

Then, Ma Chao launched a series of assaults again. At this moment, the target of Ma Chao's assault was the location of Sun Can, who commanded the entire army...
