Chapter Ninety One
The Invincible Special Forces Back to the Three Kingdoms Chapter 911 The Fall of a Generation of Savage Generals
Cao Chun is a good young man with ideals and ambitions.┝&.com,
Since the Cao clan responded to Cao Cao's call and started to raise an army in Chenliu and quell the Yellow Turban disaster, a large number of young heroes in the Cao clan followed the general's pace and made great contributions. Among them, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen are the most famous.
Cao Chun, whose courtesy name was Zihe, was the younger brother of the mother of the general Cao Ren and Cao Cao's cousin. After Cao Chun lost his father at the age of fourteen, he lived in separate houses with his brother Cao Ren, and later inherited his father's family business. There were hundreds of children and guests. Although he had obtained a large inheritance at a young age, Cao Chun was able to manage the family with discipline, supervise and manage the servants in the family, and maintain the large-scale business without losing his order. Therefore, people in the village thought that Cao Chun was very talented. Cao Chun also advocated knowledge and respected scholars with profound knowledge, so many scholars came to join him, making Cao Chun's reputation praised by far and wide.
Since Cao Chun watched the showdown between the Canglang Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry on Zuli City, his desire to form and train a powerful cavalry corps for Cao Cao. As time goes by, the cavalry of Jin has made contributions on the battlefield again and again, which has stimulated Cao Chun to sleep at night.
As the Jin State reached an agreement of understanding with the court, Wang Yun, as a special envoy of negotiation, won the benefit of Jin State tribute to the court 10,000 kilograms of high-quality steel and 1,000 war horses every year. After the court opened the Yellow River channel, it also obtained stirrups, saddles and horseshoes and other production technologies.
After the court gained these benefits, in order to win over Cao Cao and other forces, it secretly distributed some of the steel and war horses from Jin State to Cao Cao. A few years ago, when Ma Teng was not murdered by Han Sui, the court and Cao Cao secretly bought many war horses from Xiliang. Since this, Cao Cao has been in a group of cavalry and finally has a cavalry corps with a number of 20,000 people under his command. In order to compare with the cavalry of Jin State, Cao Cao named the cavalry corps under his command "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", which coincides with history.
As the first to establish a cavalry corps, Cao Cao entrusted an important task to become the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. His lifelong wish was realized throughout his life. From then on, Cao Chun had all been in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's army, and he asked people to collect information about the establishment, combat characteristics, training methods and other information on the Jin cavalry organization and configuration, combat characteristics, training methods, and vowed to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into a first-class cavalry unit similar to the Flying Tiger and Canglang Army.
After several years of hard work, the rewards were finally received. The tiger and leopard cavalry trained by Cao Chun came and went like the wind, with strong combat power. They were the leader in the drills and confrontations organized by the Cao army many times, and were highly recognized and praised by Cao Cao. This time, Cao Chun followed Cao Cao south with great enthusiasm, bringing 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, hoping that the tiger and leopard cavalry could make achievements for Cao Cao and become famous all over the world in one battle.
However, ideals are full, reality is really a backbone.
When Cao Chun saw the flags in the front row of Tianyi Army not far ahead fell to the ground, he felt very refreshed. He felt that the soldiers who were standing in front of the formation holding the flags and ceremonial guards were still forced by the amazing momentum of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and finally showed signs of defeat.
However, this heroic and comfortable mood had not lasted for a moment, and Cao Chun saw an iron wall covered with spears appear in his vision, which was just higher than the sight of the horse cavalry, making it impossible to see clearly what was hidden behind this steel "heedgehog".
Feeling huge danger, Cao Chun, several feet away from the front of the main van formation, used his superb riding skills to slam the war horse running at high speed under his crotch. He was about to turn around and command the army behind him to stop and attack quickly, and not use his head to hit the death van formation in front. However, the soldiers of the Tianyi Army, who had already been very smart and quick, fired crossbows from the shooting hole reserved by the main van, shooting Cao Chun into a hedgehog.
The soldiers of the Tianyi Army held a first-class military crossbow. The crossbow arms were made of pure steel, and the crossbow strings were made of flexible steel wire. As long as they hit the target within the range, they would definitely cause huge damage.
Cao Chun led the cavalry to charge with his cavalry, but the result was very sad. Before the wise and brave general could kill an enemy soldier, he was caught in dozens of crossbow arrows, and he didn't even have time to say a last word, and died on the battlefield. What's even more tragic is that because the cavalry moving at high speed behind him was not as good as him, he had to watch the horse's hooves trampled on Cao Chun's body that fell from the horse, and then stabbed to death by the spear and gun forest stretched out from the main van.
After resisting the initial violent impact, there were already many bloody human and horse corpses between the subsequent tiger and leopard cavalry and the dangerous main van, which made them not have to worry about being stabbed to death. But this does not mean that their bad luck ended. The Sky Thunder Throw Throwers hiding behind the main van were worried that using Sky Thunder too early would scare the Tiger and Leopard cavalry back, so they kept holding on to watch the crossbowmen around them shoot the enemy. Now the enemy's corpses and the corpses of the war horse are piled up in front of them, and the direct weapon crossbow arrows cannot exert their power, and the Sky Thunder Thrower who took a parabolic attack was sent.
As black things as the size of a fist were thrown out from the back of the main van, the already chaotic battlefield became even more crazy and terrifying as the sky thunder landed. The tiger and leopard cavalry, who had no time to turn their horses and retreated towards the Cao army camp, suffered the "marvelous" feeling brought by the concentrated shooting of the sky thunder. They either returned to the underworld directly, or were blasted all over, were covered in bruises, and then fell off their horses and turned into meat sauce.
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle in the middle army in the rear, felt strong uneasy and vigilant when he saw the formation of chariots in the distance. When he found that the tiger and leopard cavalry could not cross or break through this line of defense, he was only angry and anxious in his heart.
After all, the main van formation is just defensive equipment, which caused major casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under unexpected circumstances. However, after this battle, no force would easily send cavalry to charge, so in the future, they would have to be used as a logistics transport tool for the troops.
It's simple to say. When Ma Jun designed the van, he adopted an assembled structure. As long as the steel plate above the bottom of the vehicle is removed and replaced with light wooden boards, it can be used as a transport vehicle.
As the sky-burning thunder sounded one after another on the battlefield, the subsequent tiger and leopard cavalry had stopped attacking and quickly evacuated the battlefield according to the sound of gongs in the rear. Even so, after a fierce attack, the tiger and leopard cavalry also lost nearly 3,000 elite soldiers. However, the Tianyi soldiers hiding behind the main van, wearing large straw hat-shaped helmets on their heads, and wearing plate armor on their important parts of their bodies, did not die under the arrows flying from the tiger and leopard cavalry, and only hundreds of people were arrowed in all limbs.
Although the tiger and leopard cavalry encountered a major setback, Cao Cao did not want to give up. Cao Chun's unfortunate death made Cao Heizi's face, which had already been a little black, turned dark red. He coldly ordered the "Pili carts" behind him to replace them with special firearms and projectiles, so that Tian Yijun would taste the taste of gunpowder explosion.
