Although he was afraid of a tough battle and a war of attrition, and learned from the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao was on the Zhaoling battlefield, Tao Ying still had the courage to lead the Junzi army to the Zhaoling battlefield where Huang Shao's army was about to be defeated.

The plan is to extend a helping hand to Huang Shao's army and help Huang Shao's army withstand Cao's attack on Zhaoling.

There is no other reason. In this era, no one knows better than Deputy Director Tao how dangerous Cao Cao is. Once Cao Jun is fed and drunk and his fangs are exposed, what kind of dangerous consequences will there be, and no one knows better than Deputy Director Tao.

The director knew better, so there was nothing he could do. After meeting with the infantry to replenish the feather arrows, Tao Ying could only ask the infantry to slow down and lead the Junzi Army to see the situation first. He tried to get Huang Shao to help him and not let Huang Shao go.

The money and food that Shao had snatched were then snatched away by Boss Cao and used as military supplies for the attack on Xuzhou.

It was somewhat effective. The Gentleman Army under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army rushed all the way to the vicinity of the Zhaoling battlefield. When they discovered this situation, the Yellow Turban bandits who were hiding in Zhaoling City suddenly burst into cheers and their morale was greatly boosted. Cao Jun could not

He adjusted his tactics and allocated his troops to fight against the Junzi Army. At the same time, because of his deep hatred for the Junzi Army's massacre of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Lao personally led his troops to fight.

According to the unwritten rules of battle of this era, the two armies took up positions two arrows apart. The Gentleman Army repeated its old trick, still arranging five horizontal formations, with two teams of heavy cavalry in the front and three teams of light cavalry in the back, with bows hidden.

The crossbow was in hand, ready for a sneak attack. Cao Cao saw that the gentleman's army was loosely organized and not very strong, so he couldn't help but feel angry in his chest. He couldn't help but roared at Cao Chun next to him: "You were defeated by this group of rabble? Such a loose formation.

Can you also defeat and annihilate my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry head-on? How on earth did you use your troops to fight, to be so useless?"

"Lord, don't underestimate this formation. There is a lot of mystery in it." Cao Chun almost cried again and quickly explained: "Lord, this bandit army is different. It never engages in close combat. It only likes to fight head-on.

When riding and shooting, the formation was loose, so that their horses could turn around flexibly. Then they shot while running away. The general had never seen such a formation before, so he was caught off guard and suffered a big loss."

"Fleeing and shooting at the same time? Nearly a thousand cavalry turned around and fired arrows while running?" Cao Cao was shocked. If he hadn't known that Cao Chun could not lie, Cao Cao would not have believed that there could be such an army in the world and that it could gather so many equestrian masters.

Unified combat? Even Gongsun Zan, who is good at cavalry, probably cannot gather so many masters of cavalry and archery, right?

At this time, our deputy director Tao, who had a fake beard on his face, had already jumped out of the battle, waving his riding whip and shouting in front of the battle, asking Boss Cao to come out to fight. Boss Cao first thought he looked familiar, and then heard Cao Chun say that this person was

It was Wu Tiande, the demon king, who was even more furious. He immediately rode out into the battle, pointed his riding whip at Deputy Director Tao in front of the battle, and cursed, "Guizhou Annu, I have no enmity with you, why did you kill my soldiers and offend our army?"

Power?"

"Old man, do you still remember Wu Tiande, the evil demon king?" Tao Ying pointed his whip at Cao Cao in a rough voice and cursed, "When I was under the command of General Digong, I allowed you, a common man, to escape by chance. I won't behead you today."

To avenge the general of the Lord of Earth, I am unworthy of the spirit of the three lords of heaven, earth and man!"

"He is really a remnant of the Yellow Turban. It sounds like he has met me once before. No wonder he looks familiar." Cao Cao suddenly felt confused, and felt very confused. This 'Yellow Turban Thief Wu Tiande' was so good, why didn't he have any memory of it?

Woolen cloth?

"Old man, do you have the guts to fight me for 300 rounds?" Deputy Director Tao shouted again, brandishing his sword and directly challenging Cao Cao himself, asking the general to challenge him to a duel.

"Crazy thief, do you think I will be afraid of you?" Boss Cao was a little irritated. He turned to the generals behind him and shouted: "Who dares to behead this thief for me?"

"The last general is willing to go!" Generals Dian Wei and Cao Hong agreed in unison, and they rushed out of the battle in unison. One held a double halberd, and the other held a broadsword. They both went straight to attack the arrogant and infuriating King Wu Tiande.

"Your Majesty, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Let the last general fight for you!" Two generals also rushed out of the Junzi Army. One general was holding a green dragon and Yanyue cold saw made of wood, and the other was carrying a ten-foot-eight-foot piece of wood on his shoulder.

Snake Spear, each yelled: "Come and name me, Guan Yunchang will kill the nameless people with my sword!" "Nameless rats, come and name me, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yi are here, who dares to fight with me for three hundred rounds?"

!”

"Guan Yu? Zhang Fei?" Like all the poor enemies of the Junzi Army, even Dian Wei and Cao Hong were frightened and subconsciously became more cautious. Boss Cao behind him was even more surprised and confused.

I wonder why Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are here? Why don’t they look alike? Even if they transformed into Gray Wu, these two fierce generals would know each other?

Immediately afterwards, out of respect for the two fierce men Guan and Zhang, Dian Wei and Cao Hong were not allowed to report their names and origins, and they also asked the names of the two generals on the opposite side. However, when the opposite generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were actually named Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide

, Dian Wei and Cao Hong's noses were also crooked with anger, and then they each shouted angrily, and both of them clapped their horses forward, while the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also roared like thunder, clapped their horses and stepped forward as if to fight, luring Dian Wei and Cao Hong.

Then they threw the wooden Qinglong knife and the wooden spear out together, got back on their horses and ran away, shouting majestically in unison, "Unknown rats, let me spare your lives this time!"

"Two traitors!" Dian Wei and Cao Hong were even more angry and charged with their horses. But at this moment, something happened that shocked Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Cao Lao and others. They had been hiding behind the two heavy cavalry teams.

The light cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army suddenly charged together, passing through the loose line of heavy cavalry of the Gentlemen's Army, shouting the slogan "The sky is dead, Huang Tian is standing", and fired nearly two hundred arrows straight at Cao Hong and Dian Wei. They were desperate and miserable.

The cry immediately echoed in front of Cao Jun's formation.

"Shameless traitor!" Cao Hong and Dian Wei had no choice but to imitate the little overlord Sun Ce. They were injured by a few arrows and turned over and hid in the belly of the horse to avoid the arrows. Their horses were hit by dozens of arrows and fell to their knees together.

——Fortunately, Cao Hong and Dian Wei were quite lucky, and neither had the misfortune of encountering the hoofs of their war horses that exposed them again like the Little Overlord. Therefore, the second team of Qingqi of the Junzi Army only shot their horses.

They turned into hedgehogs, and shot several arrows at their non-lethal parts exposed under the horse carcass. They failed to kill them on the spot.

Cao Jun reacted very quickly. Seeing that Cao Hong and Dian Wei had been plotted, they immediately charged forward with a roar and rushed to rescue Dian Wei and Cao Hong. The third group of light cavalry from the Junzi Army took the opportunity to throw arrows at the heads of Cao Jun's dense troops.

, causing dozens of casualties to Cao Jun, and then Deputy Director Tao waved the flag. The Junzi Army immediately turned around and continued to use their signature Mangu evil tactics, while quickly widening the distance from Cao Jun's brigade.

.while turning back and shooting arrows to kill the enemy.

"No wonder these ant thieves came out to fight yesterday. It turns out that this is the case." Seeing this scene, Cao Chun, who was almost fooled yesterday, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he had actually chosen two lives yesterday, one of which was a partial one.

After the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers gave up their lives, they abandoned their horses and walked into the woods in the dark night to pick up one of them. One of them did not accept the challenge of the yellow turban thieves.

At this time, two generals, Dian Wei and Cao Hong, were rescued from the corpses of their horses. Dian Wei was hit by four arrows and Cao Hong was hit by five arrows. Fortunately, neither of them hit the fatal spot, which only temporarily made them unable to fight again.

Ability. After hearing about the injuries of his beloved generals Dian Wei and Cao Hong, and seeing the tactics of the Junzi Army, Boss Cao became even more angry and shouted, ordering the entire army to pursue them. Cao Chun finally turned around

Suddenly, he rushed to Cao Cao's horse and knelt down. With tears in his eyes, he shouted: "My lord, we can't chase you. We can't catch up with these thieves, and we will be hit hard by their bows and arrows! My lord, we absolutely can't chase you."

!”

Cao Cao looked down at Cao Chun in surprise, and then looked up at the battlefield ahead. He found that the situation was just as Cao Chun said. The outrageously despicable King Wu Tiande had no intention of engaging in close combat with his own army, and was just running for his life while leading his cavalry.

While turning back and firing arrows, he did not give his own army a chance to fight in close combat. His team pursued them with all their strength. However, they could not catch up with these "Yellow Turban Thief" cavalry who could escape faster than rabbits. They suffered heavy casualties under their bows and arrows.

, the losses expanded rapidly. Seeing this, Boss Cao, whose military capabilities are unparalleled in the world, suddenly came to his senses and secretly said: "Cao Chun did not lose unjustly. The cavalry tactics of these yellow scarf thieves are simply natural tigers and leopards."

Ride Buster!”

Thinking of this, Boss Cao made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the troops to retreat, prohibiting the sergeants from continuing to pursue. However, what made Boss Cao angry was that as soon as his team retreated, the group of yellow scarf cavalry immediately counterattacked like mangy dogs.

, and continued to shoot his own soldiers from behind with bows and arrows - this also made Boss Cao understand why Cao Chun's entire army was wiped out. With the heavy load of the tiger and leopard rider, it was impossible to escape in front of these mangy dogs.

.

"Lord, please quickly mobilize the strong crossbowmen and use the strong crossbows to suppress these bandits!"

This forced King Wu Tiande to lead his troops to escape - in fact, the key point was that King Wu Tiande was reluctant to lose his precious soldiers and horses. Otherwise, with the meager rate of fire of the crossbows, he would still be unable to withstand the cavalry charge of the Gentleman Army at all costs.

After finally defeating King Wu Tiande, when the casualties of the soldiers were counted again, Boss Cao, Xun You, Guo Jia and others all broke out in a cold sweat. In just two seconds, more than 150 soldiers of Cao's army were killed.

Under the arrows of King Wu Tiande, more than two hundred people were injured by the arrows. Even though the battlefield was turned over and over, not a single corpse of the enemy's cavalry could be found!

"Such cavalry tactics are completely unheard of. Is this traitor Wu Tiande really just an ordinary yellow turban leader?" Guo Jia coughed and exclaimed, "Fortunately, this traitor has less than a thousand cavalry. If he had three to five thousand,

We will all die without a burial place!"

"In this battle, my lord, please be sure to restrain your soldiers and not reveal the enemy's tactics." Xun You said solemnly: "If this method is learned by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan or Ma Teng, our army will never have peace."

Cao Cao nodded, deeply agreeing with Xun You's words - now, friends, you should understand why Yuan Shu and Liu Huangshu knew something about the Junzi Army's tactics, but deliberately refused to reveal a word to others? And quickly decided to block the information and

After imitating this cavalry tactic, Boss Cao said with a gloomy face: "The situation is going to change. I believe that within twenty years, our current tactics will be completely replaced by the tactics of the traitor Wu Tiande."

"My lord, why did you say this?" Guo Jia was good at strategy and was not as proficient in tactics as Cao Lao, so he said: "Although this method is novel, it can only take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to rampage for a while. After using it once, there will be no more.

This is a chance to win by surprise. Besides, this tactic is most afraid of strong crossbows. My lord only needs to prepare more strong crossbows to shoot at them to defeat them."

"Fengxiao, you are wrong on this point." Boss Cao shook his head and said seriously: "I can see that these thieves are not afraid of strong crossbows, but they just don't want to hurt their soldiers, so they gave in. Because of my strong crossbows

Although it can reach far, the powerful crossbow can shoot three arrows or more for every arrow it shoots. The Wu thieves only need to shoot head-on at any cost, and my crossbow array will definitely be defeated."

"What my lord said is absolutely true. This traitor just doesn't want to lose his troops, so he refuses to fight with our army with strong crossbows." Cao Chun quickly interjected: "During the battle yesterday, the general also used strong crossbows to fight with him.

There was a cavalry and archery confrontation. He also took out some of his powerful crossbows and fired at our troops. After using up our crossbow arrows, he used bows and arrows to shoot at our troops again."

Guo Jia was speechless, and Xun You said to Cao Chun: "General Cao Chun, since there is still some time now, I would like you to introduce the story of yesterday's battle to the lord as soon as possible, and help the lord formulate a strategy to defeat the enemy.

The more detailed the better.”

Although Cao Chun did not want to recall yesterday's tragic scene, in order to prevent Cao Jun from being deceived again, Cao Chun had no choice but to endure the pain in his heart and introduced the events of yesterday's battle in detail, and how he escaped from the "Yellow Turban Thief"

'The story of the poisonous hand is briefly introduced. It turns out that yesterday, after the tiger and leopard cavalry abandoned their armor and abandoned their weapons and the light cavalry fled for their lives, they still could not escape the pursuit of the gentleman's army with amazing endurance. They were constantly bitten by the gentleman's army, and soldiers who lost the protection of their armor continued to lose their lives.

Under the arrows of the Junzi Army, after leaving several troops to risk their lives several times, the Junzi Army immediately divided its troops. One army pursued and the other army encircled and suppressed the rear tiger and leopard cavalry. They shot these fighting tiger and leopard cavalry alive with bows and arrows. In the end, Cao Chun still rode on

When it was completely dark, he abandoned his exhausted war horses and fled into the woods that were not conducive to cavalry activities. Only then was he lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the Junzi Army and return to Cao Cao.

After listening to Cao Chun's introduction, Cao Cao, who already understood that Cao Chun's defeat was unjust, did not get angry, nor did he blame Cao Chun for his inability to lead the troops. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before asking Cao Chun a question, "Yesterday's battle, those yellow turban thieves.

How far did I lead you and how far did I chase you?"

Cao Chun thought carefully about it for a long time, and then he estimated the answer: "Yesterday's battle, our army was led by the traitor Wu Tiande and ran for more than 40 miles. Later, Wu Tiande chased our army..., no less than 70 miles. Yes.

, it should be no less than seventy miles, because the general fled into the woods west of Yan County last night, so we can estimate it."

"So, that group of thieves fought with you for 110 miles in less than five hours?" Boss Cao's face changed color and he said in surprise: "In the battle, they fought for more than 100 miles. What if they fought alone?

With such a rapid attack, wouldn’t this band of thieves be able to easily march more than 150 miles in one day?”

Cao Chun calculated it carefully, nodded and replied: "Reporting to my lord, it should be so. The endurance of the traitor's horses is amazing. When it was getting dark, our army's horses were almost exhausted, but the traitor's horses were still alive and well.

, the speed does not slow down at all.”

"My bad luck. This time in the southern expedition to Ruying, it seems that I have hit a brick wall." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "This group of traitors are so mobile that they want to cut off our army's food supply route."

, it’s so easy!”

"No!" As soon as Boss Cao said this, Xun You and Guo Jia suddenly changed their faces and exclaimed in unison: "My lord, the traitor Wu Tiande is no longer coming back. Could it be that he went to attack General Yu Jin's food team?"

Have you gone?"
