Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 476

The Xuzhou armor of the tiger and leopard rider, in front of the special mace of the Iron Buddha of the Futu Iron Guard, even if it can block the spikes of the mace, it can't stop it at all. The blunt weapon brought by the mace critical hit!
That huge force directly penetrated the defense of the Xuzhou armor, and hit the body of the tiger and leopard knight inside the armor!
On the contrary, the heavy guns equipped by the tiger and leopard cavalry, relying on the impact force, pierced through the iron Buddha heavy armor specially equipped by the Buddha iron guards, but it only penetrated half of it!
Not fully pierced at all!

Many tiger and leopard riders were carried by their own heavy guns, and were dragged off their horses by the huge inertia brought by the Futu Iron Guard's horses, rolling out a long line of blood on the ground in a hurry Afterwards, he howled and died!

This is not a hedging of heavy cavalry, this is a strategic crushing!

To deal with heavy cavalry, in the eyes of people in this era, the most effective way is naturally to use heavy cavalry to hedge, relying on the same fierce impact to pierce the opponent with a spear.

The army on that side shoots the fastest and most accurately, and that side will win.

However, for Yuan Tan, who has the knowledge of later generations, he knows that the most effective way to deal with heavy cavalry is not the sharpness of any weapon.

It's a blunt weapon, a penetrating blow brought by terrifying force!
Directly ignoring the defensive power of the armor, relying on heavy blunt weapons such as maces, in an instant, the enemy's internal organs wearing heavy armor were severely injured and even killed on the spot!

This is the most effective rule against heavy cavalry!
Heavy weapons, blunt weapons!

Strictly speaking, the Iron Buddha should be equipped with long hammers and heavy hammers.

But after all, in this era, the enemies that heavy cavalry need to face are very few heavy cavalry, but more light cavalry or infantry.

So after thinking about it for a while, Yuan Tan still equipped the Futu Tiewei with spiked maces.

In this way, when encountering heavy cavalry, the heavy power of the mace can instantly defeat an enemy protected by heavy armor.

When encountering light infantry, light cavalry, or even a heavy infantry phalanx, the spikes on the mace can also pierce the enemy's armor or deal with heavy cavalry.

Relying on the huge strength, the opponent's internal organs were severely injured!
However, Cao Chun's shock was just the beginning!
Just after the first wave of large-scale downsizing of tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Chun immediately realized the second serious problem.

Although his tiger and leopard cavalry failed after the first charge, losing nearly two thousand knights.

But it also caused some damage to the Futu iron guards, at least two hundred Futu iron guards fell off their horses and died in battle.

However, when Cao Chun tried to reorganize the army, he was terrified to find that he had no way to effectively gather his own army!

Nearly [-] heavy cavalry charged, even on this flat ground, they brought up smoke and dust soaring into the sky.

This smoke and dust is an obstacle to both sides in the war. Among the chaotic armies, Cao Chun can't see the direction of each other's troops at all, he can only see the commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry in front of him. shadow.

Some of the shadows are enemies, and some of them are their own.

But no matter whether it is our own people or the enemy, it is a mess at the moment, turning into a chaotic melee!
That is to say, Cao Chun didn't know that during Cao Xiu's last battle, the government soldiers who were also cut into the battlefield disrupted the army formation, and forcibly cut most of the Cao Wei light cavalry who could have charged in formation into countless small cavalry.

It was only then that they were able to defeat them one by one, and finally forced Cao Chun to give up his plan to fight back, and fled with the only remaining guard cavalry on horseback.

Otherwise, there is probably only one thought in Cao Chun's mind now, and that is... this scene is too familiar.

Of course, to Yuan Tan, he was no stranger to this scene, and even had a playful thought.

This is probably the so-called classic re-enactment.

"What's going on?" Cao Chun's voice was a little horrified, but it was still well suppressed and calm.

"After the charge was over, the enemy cavalry did not maintain the formation of the charge. Instead, they turned into small units one after another, biting our army, as if... as if they were broken." A Obviously charged from the smoke and dust in the distance, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Commander said anxiously with a strong smell of blood on his body.

"Besides, after our army is bitten, it often loses its command and panics for a while, but the enemy army doesn't know what's going on, and obviously there is no commander to command, but they still maintain a very high level of discipline and aggressiveness. , as if... such an arrangement has been set up long ago!"

In fact, without mentioning the commander, Cao Chun could tell that there were clearly two distinct factions in those shadows.

One faction was spinning around in the same place, trying to find the direction of their main force in the soaring smoke and dust.

And the remaining black shadows formed one after another small arrow formations, and in the impact again and again, they continued to fight those bewildered black shadows... Or it would be more appropriate to describe it as massacre Some.

Another tiger and leopard cavalry commander couldn't help but whispered: "General, we charged just now...the charge was too strong. The enemy's cavalry armor is obviously much heavier than ours, and we have more people. They have a small number of people, and our troops have been stretched too long in one charge, and it is impossible to organize them effectively now."

Cao Chun realized instantly, and a sneer appeared on his face.

In all fairness, if the collision just now happened on open flat ground, then the next strategy would be easy to play.

It was nothing more than changing the direction again, continuing to charge, charging and charging, and finally relying on the advantage of the tiger and leopard rider's large number of people, they wiped out the Buddha Iron Guard.

Cao Chun had already noticed the opponent's tactics when he was charging for the first time before, and he had passed on an order that all tiger and leopard riders should stop charging with long spears, and instead use long spears as giant sticks, using them as stick weapons, and swing them sideways.

Although it was not comparable to the Futu Iron Guards equipped with heavy weapons, the heavy guns equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry each weighed more than [-] catties, so there was nothing wrong with using them as heavy weapons at this time.

And this strategy has obviously had an effect. During the previous chaotic battle, many of the Futu iron guards who rushed to Cao Chun's side were all tiger and leopard cavalry who had been converted into sticks and were successfully beaten off their horses. The tigers and leopards, who were crowded with people, were beaten to death with random sticks.

So Cao Chun didn't take the previous defeat to heart. As long as he can find an opportunity to reorganize his charge, victory will eventually return to his side.

But the problem is... Now they are not in the open space, but because of Yuan Tan's "trick to lure the enemy", they came to the Xuzhou camp.

Although the Xuzhou camp seemed to have been arranged by Yuan Tan as a battlefield early on, all the camps had been cleared out, forming an artificially created open space as a battlefield.

But the area of ​​this battlefield is limited after all.

Cao Chun didn't need to find a high ground to see, he already guessed what the current situation was. The entire battlefield was confined to the big camp. Of course, this place is not small, after all, it can accommodate Yuan Tan's [-] Thousands of soldiers and horses, no matter what, are enough for less than [-] cavalry to fight each other in a formation in the hedge.

But after rushing to the formation once, it becomes unrealistic to want to expand the formation again.

The entire battlefield will appear extremely crowded, and it will be impossible to move around.

Cao Chun calmed down and tried to put his hatred aside. He wanted to kill Yuan Tan very much now, but Cao Chun also remembered what Zhang Liao said when he was in General Runan's residence before.

Only by saving your life can you have a chance of revenge, and now, while saving your life, you must try your best to kill and wound Yuan Tan's elite forces as much as possible.

The more he killed, the greater the chance of killing Yuan Tan next.

As early as the moment Cao Xiu died in battle, Cao Chun understood that it was impossible to defeat Yuan Tan in a one-on-one battle, and Yuan Tan's martial arts were far superior to his.

Even Cao Xiu is not Yuan Tan's opponent, let alone Cao Chun, who is not as good as Cao Xiu in martial arts?
However, if a large-scale army is assembled, it may not be impossible to kill Yuan Tan in one go on this narrow battlefield.

Cao Chun's heart became restless.

If you really want to win this victory, you must regroup enough tiger and leopard riders in the shortest possible time, and then launch a new round of charge!
There are few Futu iron guards, but there are many tiger and leopard riders. This difference has become the key to Cao Chun's victory in this battle!

"Pass down the order to let all the ministries follow our actions as much as possible, you four commanders, let the soldiers gather to me, and in addition..."

When Cao Chun said this, he paused.

He glanced at the two guards beside him.

Before the start of this battle, Cao Chun specially ordered someone to take down his general flag in order to avoid being beheaded by Yuan Tan's assault formation as soon as the battle started. to the body.

"Look for ten strong and strong people, gather around me, as the people who protect the flag, come here, put my general flag behind me!"

Cao Chun said in a deep voice, so, a moment later, in the midst of the wolf smoke, a flag with the word Cao was flying high!
