Chapter 374 (1/2)

In the plain of Qingzhou, the Xuzhou army has been fighting with the Cao army of Xiliang for several hours. Although Xuzhou army occupied the absolute number advantage, it was much worse than Cao's in physical strength, so Cao's army was able to support it.

XiaHouYuan and xiahoushang were holding the last position with nearly 20000 people. Behind them, there was a vast hilly land. If it was rushed by the other side, even if Cao Xiu came with the army, it would be very difficult to destroy the Xuzhou army. After a few hours of fighting, only nearly 7000 swordsmen and more than 10000 archers remained in the hands of Xia Houyuan. Originally, there were only 2000 cavalry left in Xiliang, which had 10000 people. However, thanks to the continuous impact of these irons on the Xuzhou army, Xia Houyuan would have been defeated by the other party.

On the other hand, in the face of the Xiliang army's relentless killing and the heavy impact of Xiliang's iron cavalry, the original more than 10000 Xuzhou cavalry troops have been completely destroyed, and the 150000 infantry soldiers have also lost a lot of losses, with a total loss of 40000. This is not to say that the Xuzhou army can't compare with the Xiliang army. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the two armies, they should be equal. However, the purpose of the Xuzhou army was to break through the Cao army's defense line, so even the archers rushed forward with a blade in their hands. Unlike the Xiliang army, they were still strictly arranged according to the types of arms. Naturally, they suffered less losses than the Xuzhou army. If it wasn't for the first time that the Xuzhou army was rushed to the front, I was afraid that the archers of the Xiliang army would not be damaged at all.

Now the two armies are no more than 500 paces apart, but they are still on both sides of the battlefield as if they have reached an agreement. This is because the two armies are seizing time to rest, and they are afraid that they will fight again soon.

In the Xuzhou army, Sun Yi, Chen Yang and Lu Xun all gasped for breath. When they first fought, they also consumed a lot of physical strength. Chen Yang, in particular, tried several times to follow the example of the last time when he was trapped in the camp to kill Xia Houyuan. However, how could Xia Hou Shang, who had already had one experience, let Chen Yang succeed so easily. When Chen Yang made a little noise, he immediately took a group of relatives to guard in front of Xia Houyuan, and did not let Chen Yang get close at all. Several times Chen YANGCHONG went up and was killed by Xiahou Shang with his own soldiers. In this way, his physical strength was greatly consumed.

Sun Yi was not much better. Although he was the best, because of his commander-in-chief, the soldiers of Xiliang army killed him fiercely, one in his arm and one in his thigh. Fortunately, Sun Yi saw the opportunity quickly at that time. At last, he didn't leave a big wound. After a simple bandage, it didn't hurt.

”Young! Bo Yan! You can't go on like this! We must smash the Cao army before dark! ” After pouring a pot of water, Sun Yi wiped his mouth and said to Chen Yang and Lu Xun.

Lu Xun is not much better. He was born with a weak constitution. If he had not learned martial arts with sun CE in recent years, he would not have been able to go to the battlefield easily. At this time, Lu Xun's face was pale, and he could hardly breathe, let alone speak. He nodded his head to show his agreement.

Chen Yang is a little better than Lu Xun. Although his physical strength is a little bit overdrawn, Chen Yang was asked by his father Chen Ren to give him a lot of herbs to strengthen his body. His recovery ability is much better than that of ordinary people. After a short break, it was the best of the three.

Chen Yang nodded and said, ”although our soldiers are exhausted, I don't think the other side is any better! This time, we must rush through their attack! I will cut down the XiaHouYuan later! As long as Xia Hou yuan is dead, these Xiliang troops will not be afraid of it! ”

Sun Yi quickly stopped: ”no! Young! Now the other side has already understood your intention. You can easily get trapped in the enemy's array if you rush in like this. The other side only has these 10000 people left. We have so many people, and we will surely defeat them this time! Don't take any more risks Sun Yi, however, remembers the several times Chen Yang killed just now, and each time was extremely dangerous. Sun Yi has never been afraid in the face of thousands of troops. However, Chen Yang has been in danger several times, but he is still scared to death.

Knowing that Sun Yi was worried about his own safety, Chen Yang did not open his mouth to oppose it. He just gave a smile and turned to Lu Xun and said, ”Bo Yan! What about? Is it still tolerable? ”

Lu Xun took a few breaths, but he was better. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, but he wiped the blood stains of the enemy on his hands on his forehead, which covered Lu Xun's pale face. Lu Xun could not speak for the time being, but nodded firmly, saying that he had no problem at all.

”Good!” Sun Yi raised the spear again, turned over and mounted his horse. He yelled at the soldiers who were still resting: ”brothers! Let's do it again! We must break this road of survival
