Chapter 473: The Coalition's Counterattack
"White Tiger Legion, pursue!"
Zhang Xiong ordered!
"Cyan Dragon Cavalry, pursue!"
Wei Yan ordered!
"Xiliang men, kill!"
Ma Chao ordered!
"Qilin Cavalry, kill!"
Zhang Ren ordered!
The situation changed suddenly, and the entire Wuling army chased and killed! Three cavalrymen easily broke through the soldiers behind the Yuan and Cao coalition forces.
A killing begins from this!
When the two armies fight, the most severe casualties are not when fighting each other, but when they are defeated and chased! The hunted side is often ruthlessly slaughtered.
The Wuling Army sent cavalry to pursue, while Yuan Shao and Cao Cao continued to send soldiers behind the palace to delay the Wuling Army's pursuit.
However, the Wuling Army's cavalry had accumulated too much air during the battle just now. It was so crazy to chase and kill.
The soldiers behind the hall, who were in charge of the coalition forces, were flooded as soon as they met.
The orderly retreating coalition forces began to panic and turmoil. Once people felt fear, it was difficult to control themselves. In order to protect themselves and to survive, the coalition soldiers began to run wildly.
The sound of horse hooves rolling in the back seemed to be stepping on their hearts, making them restless.
"Catch Yuan Shao and capture Cao Cao alive!"
The Qinglong Cavalry was the fastest. Under Wei Yan's leadership, the Qinglong Cavalry bit the tail of the coalition forces and shouted a slogan that made the coalition soldiers frightened.
"Running, Wuling cavalry is here!"
As panic arose, the soldiers of the coalition forces rushed to escape, and they could not care about the formation. The Wuling Army slogan was to capture Yuan Shao and Cao Cao alive, and as long as they ran fast, they could survive.
"Don't be in trouble, form a formation to meet the enemy! Form a formation to meet the enemy!"
The generals of Cao's army and Yuan's army tried their best to appease the soldiers, hoping to assemble the soldiers to resist the impact of the cavalry.
However, at this time, the coalition soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to run fast, so there was no one to listen to those generals.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, go and drag the Wuling Army!"
If you are bitten, if you don’t find a way and let the situation develop like this, the coalition forces will likely be in a slump.
In order to make the coalition forces retreat safely, Cao Cao ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to break the rear and entangle with the Wuling Cavalry. He covered the army to withdraw back to Hangu Pass.
"Yan Liang, lead the cavalry first and ambush ahead!"
Yuan Shao ordered.
Cao Cao asked the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to cut off the rear, so Yuan Shao could also let the general Yan Liang go to ambush ahead. When the Wuling Army pursued him, Yan Liang could suddenly come out, and at that time he could block the Wuling Army and allow the large army to safely retreat to Hangu Pass.
Wei Yan, who was killing the enemy, saw a cavalry rushing out from the coalition crowd. It was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that they had fought with.
"Soldiers, the tiger and leopard cavalry is here! Kill!"
Compared to massacre of coalition infantry, Wei Yan was obviously more interested in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In this era, cavalry was very precious. If he could destroy the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it would be an amazing contribution.
"kill!"
With Wei Yan leading the army, the soldiers followed their chief general and charged forward!
boom!
The two cavalry collided with each other. The high morale Qinglong Cavalry was obviously better than the tiger and leopard cavalry because of the horse stirrup.
Cao Chun, the chief general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, did not dare to fight with Wei Yan due to his limited force. This made Wei Yan unlimited his strength in the battle formation and directly showed his strength in the most brutal form.
"Qilin Cavalry, kill the enemy!"
When the Blue Dragon Cavalry was fighting with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Kirin Cavalry followed and entered the battle group without hesitation. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately felt the pressure.
At the beginning of the battle, Cao Cao had not yet run far after Yuan Shao, so Cao Chun dared not retreat. He knew that Cao Cao was leaving behind his intention. It was to intercept the Wuling Army as long as possible so that the coalition forces could arrange ambush.
Ten miles from Hangu Pass, Yan Liang led his troops here and quickly arranged an ambush. After the soldiers were hidden, the coalition forces passed by. They stopped not far away and prepared to turn around and attack the Wuling cavalry who were chasing them.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry completed their mission in an extremely tragic way. Under the fierce attacks of the Blue Dragon Cavalry and the Kirin Cavalry, they lost at least half of them.
After Ma Chao led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to arrive, Cao Chun finally stopped insisting and led his troops backwards.
If you don’t retreat, the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will be wiped out!
"Do you still want to chase and kill the two generals?"
Zhang Ren asked Wei Yan and Ma Chao.
Here, Zhang Ren has the lowest level, and the Qilin cavalry has a small number. According to the tradition of the Wuling Army, at this time, the Qilin cavalry can accept the command of Wei Yan.
"General Ma Chao, what do you think?"
Wei Yan asked Ma Chao.
After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry retreated, the coalition forces had already run away. If they wanted to pursue, they might encounter ambush.
"Why do General Wei ask me? Whether to pursue or not is naturally the general's decision!"
Ma Chao is also smart, so he can either pursue or not pursue. He is unwilling to take on this responsibility.
"Then pursue it! But in order to prevent the fall, the Qinglong cavalry will first pursue the enemy. The two generals lead the troops to follow up."
Wei Yan said.
“This move is feasible.”
Ma Chao said.
Wei Yan's arrangement is indeed the safest.
"That's it!"
Zhang Ren also returned to Tao.
"Okay, the Qinglong Cavalry set out immediately, and the two led their troops to follow."
After Wei Yan finished speaking, he gathered the Qinglong Cavalry and set off, leaving Zhang Ren and Ma Chao still cleaning the battlefield.
...
There was no sound of horse hooves behind him. The coalition soldiers stopped and collapsed on the ground and gasped heavily.
For Cao's army, it was the first to be chased so miserably.
For Yuan Jun, the defeat in this battle was extremely depressing.
"General Yan Liang has been ambushed. Just wait for Wei Yan to chase him, and he can give him a blow!"
Cao Cao said.
Most of them are infantrymen, and no matter how they run, they can't run away from the cavalry. If they don't ambush the Wuling Army, the coalition forces may be directly driven out of Hangu Pass.
"I have chased for so far, I wonder if Wei Yan dares to chase after him."
Yuan Shao said.
There is also a distance limit for the pursuit. The coalition forces have run far away. The Wuling Army is the cavalry attacking, and Wei Yan is the fastest running one. It is very likely that he has lost contact with the subsequent legion.
Under normal circumstances, Wei Yan might wait on the spot or return to the army.
However, this time, the Wuling Army finally defeated twice its coalition forces in an anxious battle, which gave Wei Yan a higher requirement for victory.
Wu Shun personally ordered the pursuit, and Wei Yan of course had to do his best. If it weren't for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to intercept it, Wei Yan could have chased the coalition forces all the way to Hangu Pass.
If there is a chance, Wei Yan might still attack Hangu Pass.
He is such a general who likes to "bet". Whenever he has the chance, he will try it?
"Boom..."
The sound of horse hooves went from far to near. The Wuling Army came again. The soldiers of the coalition army tightened their hearts and all held their weapons tightly.
This time, they are going to ambush and fight back!
Wei Yan made the arrangement, so he chased the coalition forces without hesitation, and was not afraid of ambushing at all. In this way, the Qinglong Cavalry ran all the way to Yan Liang's ambushing site with an almost "ignorant" attitude!
"kill!"
There were shouts of killing everywhere, and the Qinglong cavalry was surrounded!
"Soldiers, rush over!"
Surrounded? Fortunately, the other party was an infantryman. The leader was Yan Liang! In order to break through the encirclement, Wei Yan led his troops forward, not giving the coalition troops the opportunity to shrink the encirclement.
"Wei Yan, where can I go!"
Chapter completed!
