The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 580 Chariot Attack
Cao Cao's decision to send Cao Ren to take charge was a well-thought-out decision.

The Northern Huns are going to fight to the death in the final battle. The situation is unclear and we must act with caution.

After a fierce battle, the condition of Lu Bu and other troops finally declined.

Among the rest of the troops, the one who was good at defense and was under Cao Cao's command was Cao Ren.

They are our own people, so we can use them with confidence. If they are damaged, it will not arouse the suspicion of other princes.

Moreover, Cao Ren was both brave and resourceful, not an ordinary reckless man. He was well versed in the importance of flexible defense and was most suitable to test the strength of the Northern Huns.

Facing the attack of the Northern Huns, Cao Ren did not stick to cavalry combat, but directly ordered the front cavalry to withdraw from both wings when the Northern Huns were not far away.

The soldiers who had been prepared in the rear drove a large number of chariots across the front, and then unlocked the slots to form two simple rows of "chariot walls", with crossbowmen and spearmen on top, and shield soldiers mixed in between.

Behind and on both sides of the "chariot wall" was a row of simple chevaux de frise made of spears, with space between the chevaux de frise just enough for two war horses to pass.

Behind them was a shield wall consisting of six layers of tower shield soldiers, forming the formation of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array.

After arranging all this, Cao Ren nodded with satisfaction.

It’s good to cling to the thighs of rich people.

In order to support the development of the Four Kings, Tian Ze provided them with a large amount of loans, most of which were turned into sophisticated military equipment.

Cao Cao did not feel sorry for this at all, especially for his right-hand man like Cao Ren, and directly equipped him with weapons according to the same treatment as the troops under Tian Ze.

Especially the new weaponry of the Mohists and Gongshujia, including chariots that can serve as load-carrying vehicles at any time, tower shields with slots that can form shield walls, powerful crossbows, and the latest heavy infantry armor.

Cao Ren gathered these together and directly armed an iron army of 3,000 people.

Although its combat power is not as good as that of the Military Soul Corps and it has many defects, in terms of its ability to withstand attacks, this army can even get close to the Xianzhen Camp in a short period of time.

It takes a lot of time to set up, the attack is weak, the mobility is extremely poor, and the soldiers' physical strength can only sustain less than two hours of fighting...

These problems were nothing to Cao Ren.

Large-scale combat requires an elite force like this that can hold the fort at critical moments.

It can save lives at critical moments.

And now, this is undoubtedly the moment Cao Ren has been waiting for.

Facing such a rock-solid army, Luandi Ule's face darkened slightly.

Although he is very talented, he is not invincible. If he were to confront such an army head-on, he would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Without hesitation, he ordered his guards to blow the horn and prepare to organize the army to bypass the hard rock.

However, Luandi Wule wanted to escape, but Cao Ren was not happy about it.

Accompanied by dense drumbeats, the drivers in the first row fastened the buckles between the horses and the chariots, and then without hesitation drove the chariots towards the Northern Huns who were preparing to turn.

The chariots, which had been eliminated by the times because they were not as flexible as cavalry, once again demonstrated their edge on this vast grassland.

You don't need to run very fast, just be able to catch the enemy for a moment when he turns around.

With nearly 30,000 cavalrymen, even though they were as flexible as an arm under the command of Luandi Wule's 3,000 Canglang Cavalry, it was not so flexible for them to change direction without affecting the formation.

When the first chariot approached the Hun cavalry formation, the crossbowmen on the chariot shot crossbow arrows without hesitation.

Ten consecutive powerful crossbow arrows directly shot down two Northern Hun cavalrymen.

Immediately afterwards, more and more crossbow arrows turned into a dense rain of arrows, covering the Northern Hun cavalry.

There are plenty of crossbow arrows on the chariot, enough to sustain it for quite some time.

Seeing his soldiers being bitten, Luandi Wule's face darkened.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The principles in the art of war are all the same, and Luandi Wule is also aware of this. The cavalry under his command is now at its peak. If they retreat as soon as they encounter a strong enemy, their morale will inevitably be frustrated.

"Since you can't hide, then fight!"

Luandi Wule gritted his teeth and said.

"Bless me, Eternal Heaven, and follow me to kill!"

Following Luandi Wule's order, three thousand Canglang Riders roared in unison and charged directly towards the chariot group of Cao Ren's army.

However, the group of chariots with hundreds of vehicles seemed quite flexible. Under the control of the drivers, they quickly changed direction and retreated towards Cao Ren's camp. At the same time, they kept shooting while retreating.

Although it seems like a simple operation, this army has practiced it countless times.

Even so, more than a dozen chariots were still surrounded by the Northern Huns at the very beginning.

The war horses crossed each other, and the sharp scimitars and spears quickly killed all the soldiers on the chariots, and then continued to chase the remaining chariots.

Cao Ren looked at this scene with a serious expression, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.

Nearly a thousand charioteers were his carefully trained elite troops, and almost every one of them was a death-defying warrior.

But for the greater good, this is a necessary sacrifice.

Even if all two hundred tanks were destroyed in this battle, it would be worth it.

Because their opponents are very strong!

Dozens of chariot soldiers were slaughtered in a flash. This strength was enough to make Cao Ren take him seriously.

The drumbeats changed slightly, and the second batch of chariots also rushed forward.

Luandi Wule, who was still hesitating whether to continue chasing and killing, saw this scene and sighed in his heart.

That's it!

Now he can only choose one path and go all the way.

It is undoubtedly extremely uneconomical to use the strongest Wolf Cavalry to fight against a group of chariots and heavy infantry.

But at this point, there is no better choice.

He could bypass Cao Ren, but that would undoubtedly waste a lot of time, and what he lacked most was time.

Having made up his mind, Luandi Wule no longer thought about anything else and focused on commanding his army to attack Cao Ren's army.

Seeing this, Cao Ren ordered all the chariots to withdraw without hesitation.

Nearly half of the two hundred chariots and a thousand charioteers were lost in this short period of time.

After the returning troops arrived within a few dozen steps of Cao Ren's army, they slowed down their chariots without hesitation and activated the mechanisms on the chariots.

The chariot was completely immobilized, like a huge rock lying across the ground.

The soldiers who were closer to the army hurriedly ran towards the army. Those who were farther away and were bitten by the Northern Huns turned around and killed them without hesitation.

They knew they had no way to survive, so they took as many people as they could.

However, in front of the terrifying cavalry, they were so small that they were quickly submerged under the horses' hooves.

The galloping cavalry has an absolute advantage in combat power over ordinary infantry.

Cao Ren watched this scene with an unchanged expression, but the hand holding the spear turned slightly pale.

Although they have the bonus of Yuan Shao's talents, the courage of this group of soldiers is also real.

What a good soldier!
Don't worry, I will let these barbaric dogs in front of me be buried with you!
