Chapter 1,294 Cao Xing Is Ambushed

Time passed noon quickly. At this time, Cao Xing found that he had only walked less than 50 miles in half a day. If he followed the normal speed, the distance would have reached at least more than 70 miles, which means that his army was at least half an hour away from the king's cavalry. First release

But within such a long distance, Cao Xing did not find anything unusual. It was precisely because of this that Cao Xing became more anxious, because he had thought clearly that the purpose of the Tang army was to widen the distance between his 30,000 cavalry. If the Tang army behind him continued to do so, Cao Xing knew that the distance between the two cavalry would soon exceed an hour's journey.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing immediately sent a team of cavalry and set off quickly, hoping that they could catch up with the army in front as soon as possible and then warn them. His army slowed down a little. At this time, he still hoped that he would have a chance to eliminate the Tang cavalry behind him and then chase the army in front with all his strength.

Cao Xing's idea was right. Just when he sent out a team of cavalry, Lu Bu had already chased Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong to the south of Mingshui. At this time, Zhao Yun had already led the Baima Yicong to stop and lined up on the south bank of the river, while Lu Bu's cavalry stopped three miles further south. Neither side immediately started the battle, but stopped to rest for a while so that the horses and soldiers could replenish some food and drink some water.

The two sides have been chasing and fleeing for more than half a day. No one has eaten a bite of food or drank a sip of water. Since they are ready to go to war, they must make final preparations.

A quarter of an hour later, with Zhao Yun's order, more than 10,000 Baima Yicong began to organize their weapons and equipment, then turned on their horses and waited quietly for his order. More than 10,000 Baima Yicong were arranged by Zhao Yun to form a cone formation, with Zhao Yun and more than a thousand of the most elite Baima Yicong as the cone head, and the remaining nearly 9,000 ordinary Baima Yicong as the cone body.

The same thing was being done in the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side. All the Wolf Cavalry were making final preparations before the battle. Unlike Zhao Yun's cone formation, Lu Bu deployed a goose formation. Lu Bu divided the 15,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry into three groups. He personally led the 5,000 most elite Blood Wolf Cavalry as the central army, facing the cone head of Zhao Yun's cone formation. Lu Bu was confident that his Blood Wolf Cavalry would block Zhao Yun's attack.

The 10,000 ordinary Wolf Cavalry were divided into two groups, distributed on both wings of the central army, and all the more than 10,000 White Horse Volunteers on the opposite side were wrapped up. Lu Bu wanted to annihilate Zhao Yun and his White Horse Volunteers here, cut off the arm of Tang Wang Huangfu Chaobo, and avenge the loss of Shangdang County last year.

Zhao Yun was the last one to climb on his horse. Sitting on the Jade Lion of Zhaoye, Zhao Yun did not rush to attack the Zhao army. Instead, he turned his head and slowly looked at the White Horse Volunteers around him, as if he wanted to memorize their faces. Zhao Yun knew very well that after this battle, his 10,000 White Horse Volunteers would most likely be reduced to one in ten. But for the sake of the overall situation, the White Horse Volunteers had to pay such a price. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

After a long time, Zhao Yun retracted his gaze, and then looked at the Zhao army in front of him with a firm gaze. He raised the Longdan Bright Silver Spear in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted loudly: "Where there is righteousness, life and death, follow me, White Horse Volunteers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

After speaking, Zhao Yun lightly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the Jade Lion of Zhaoye began to rush forward.

"Where justice lies, we will follow each other in life and death. White Horse Yicong, kill, kill, kill!" Ten thousand White Horse Yicong cavalry responded in unison, following their commander, and rushed towards the enemy in front without hesitation.

Almost at the same time, Lu Bu also raised the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand,

lightly clamped the Red Hare under his crotch, pointed the halberd tip forward, and shouted loudly: "Bingzhou Wolf Riders, follow me to kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The shouts of killing like a tsunami sounded among the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, followed by the thunderous sound of horse hooves rushing into the sky. Fifteen thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders followed their wolf king with excitement and rushed towards the enemy in front of them.

Soon, the two strongest cavalry in the world collided with each other like two huge torrents, and the neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers, and the collision of weapons made a sound. Some soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and then were trampled to death by the war horses following behind, and the whole battlefield was filled with a huge noise.

When the cavalry sent by Cao Xing arrived, the two armies had already fought each other. Although they could see the king who was killing people in the battlefield from a distance, they had no way to get close to him. As a last resort, they had to turn their horses around and return to the south to report the matter to the commander Cao Xing for a decision.

When this group of cavalry rushed to the place where Lu Bu's army was fighting, 15,000 cavalrymen of Cao Xing's army had already entered the ambush circle of the Tang army.

Because Cao Xing's desire to return and annihilate the cavalry of Zuo Xiao's army was once again unsuccessful, Cao Xing decided to lead the army to catch up with Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. At this time, although he did not see the plan of the Tang army, a strong sense of uneasiness had already surged in his heart. At this time, he had already regretted it a little. If he had not thought about annihilating the reinforcements of Fukou Pass, but directly chased after Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

Zuo Xiao, who followed closely, saw that Cao Xing had ignored his cavalry, and at this time, they had also arrived at the ambush site agreed in advance, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to pursue with all their strength and attack Cao Xing's rear.

With Zuo Xiao's order, 8,000 Tang cavalry quickly accelerated and rushed towards Cao Xing's cavalry regardless of anything. Soon the Tang cavalry caught up with the rear of Cao Xing's army, and the two armies soon fought in a group.

Seeing this, Cao Xing immediately ordered the two armies in front to turn around and surround the more than 10,000 troops fighting in a group behind them. However, just as their army was slowing down and turning, suddenly, tens of thousands of Tang cavalry suddenly rushed out from the mountains and forests on their left. At this time, Cao Xing realized that he was the target of the Tang army.

Now that their horse speed has slowed down, Cao Xing knows that it is impossible for him to lead the army to evacuate, so he simply led the thousands of cavalry who had completed the turn and killed the Tang cavalry rushing down the mountain, so as to buy more time for the soldiers who were still turning and whose speed had not increased.

Thus, at a distance of less than thirty miles apart, the battle between 30,000 Zhao cavalry and nearly 40,000 Tang cavalry broke out almost simultaneously on two battlefields.
