Chapter 3636: The strong formation finally comes, and the fire crossbow will show its power again(2/2)
The war horse jumped up and rushed into the chariot formation!
The cavalry on the horse raised a sharp sword and slashed at the Cao army soldiers head-on with the speed of the war horse sprinting.
"boom!"
Cao's spearman was hit by a war horse and flew in the air with screams.
"Puchi..."
The sharp sword slashed the flesh and blood of Cao's soldiers, and blood splattered everywhere.
The soldiers of the Cavalry Army were as powerful as tigers, exerting the speed and strength of the war horse to the extreme.
They first used a yellow crossbow to attack the chariot formation outside the Cao army, tear open the crack, and then took advantage of the opportunity to expand inward from the chariot crack, shooting, killing, disturbing, and slamming.
Although some Hussar cavalry were shot by Cao's archers and stabbed by spearmen, most of the Cao army soldiers after seeing the Hussar cavalry breaking the chariot formation showed extremely panic, leaving behind swords, guns, bows and arrows and fleeing!
The morale of these Cao army soldiers was not high. If they were in a dense array of defense after the chariot formation or in the camp, because they were all their own people around and there were supervising teams behind them, they could still maintain the defense of the front line. However, once they lost the chariot formation now, they would naturally not be able to stand it face to go directly to the field battle and fight with the cavalry soldiers.
With weak morale and low training, the Cao army soldiers on the periphery were in a big collapse in a blink of an eye!
Cheng Yu in the middle formation ordered a counterattack at the top of his lungs.
But it has no effect.
He was giving orders, but in fact, he probably didn't know if the Cao army soldiers could act according to his instructions...
The expanded vehicle array did make room for construction of camps, but it also meant that Cao's army had lost the depth of the original vehicle array.
This is what Jiang Jie wants.
Jiang Er knew very well that it was actually the worst strategy to fight Cheng Yu head-on, or to engage in serious offensive and defensive battles.
At first, when he confronted Cheng Yu, Jiang Jie had not been able to fully understand this problem. It was not until he received a reply from General Husband and waited for Zhu Ling's reinforcements that he realized that the cavalry should give full play to the advantages of the cavalry.
Movement, speed.
Competing with Cheng Yu on the construction of camps and the defense of fortifications is actually to sacrifice the strengths and weaknesses!
In this world, there will be gains and losses.
You need to be prepared to lose whatever you want.
What Cheng Yu wanted was naturally to control the ferry, isolate the direction of Heluo to Hanoi, and provide the next space to cooperate with Cao Cao. Therefore, in terms of strategy, Cheng Yu could move very little, and the space to limit his performance was also very small.
Jiang Jie and Zhu Ling seized on this.
After clarifying what the other party wants, it is equivalent to forcing Cheng Yuming to play the card.
After Cheng Yu learned that Jiang Jie had left the camp, it was impossible not to march forward. Once he left the camp he built, he would have put himself in "danger". From the moment Cheng Yu left the camp, he stepped into the trap with one foot.
Of course, the attack window is very short. If Cheng Yu successfully establishes a second and a half-permanent military camp at the ferry, in turn, Jiang Jie and Zhu Ling will be at a disadvantage.
However, the initiative of the scouts on the battlefield of the Cavalry Army allowed Jiang Jie and Zhu Ling to achieve their goals and seized Cheng Yu's weak gap!
After Cheng Yu blocked Jiang Jie's tentative attack, he expanded outward to leave space to build a camp, which meant that Cheng Yu took the initiative to step on his other foot into the trap!
If a fight is successful, it can become an allusion that has been sung for thousands of years, but Cheng Yu failed.
Cheng Yu overestimated himself and underestimated Jiang Er.
It was like a later generation who bought a lottery ticket and felt that they had a good house and car, so they were waiting for the lottery to win.
Without the cover of the chariot formation, Cheng Yu's middle formation, even with elite Cao's soldiers, was in a great crisis.
Arrows were like rain, horse hooves were like thunder, and cavalry knights were like surging waves, attacking the infantry formation in front of Cheng Yu again and again.
In the face of the impact of the Hussar Cavalry, although these elite soldiers of the Cao army were as persistent as possible and fighting, they could not make up for the gap in strength between the two sides. Under the continuous impact of the Hussar Cavalry, they were either knocked away by war horses or killed by the Hussar Cavalry cavalry.
Cheng Yu had never expected the collapse of the battlefield, and it was so fast!
It's like a nightmare, suddenly and powerless to resist.
"Military advisor! Retreat quickly!" The guard on the side shouted, "We have a camp on our way! We can retreat to the camp!"
Cheng Yu instinctively realized that this choice was not a good idea, but does he have any better choice now?
In order to prevent fire, Cheng Yu did not prepare any tincture oil and gunpowder in the logistics vehicle. After all, if these things were ignited by the cavalry halfway, he would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would set fire to the cavalry vehicle at the moment and would not even be able to quarantine the cavalry's attack!
So do you rely on soldiers to isolate and resist?
Looking at the smoke and dust that continued to rise in the distance and the lines that were constantly dispersing nearby, Cheng Yu sighed a long sigh, "Retreat! Retreat!"
As soon as Cheng Yu's general flag moved, the soldiers of the cavalry immediately discovered it, and they cheered loudly: "The thief general has escaped! The thief general has escaped!"
Cao Jun, who had already been shaken by the army, heard this voice and turned around and looked at it. When they saw the Cheng Yu Zhanqi moving quickly to the east, they were immediately stunned.
After a moment, Cao's army's positions collapsed.
Chapter completed!
