Shi Huan and Niu Jin are Cao Ren's right-handed men, but their personalities are quite different.
Niu Jin is brave and reckless. His favorite is to lead the army to kill himself, which is in line with Cao Ren's appetite. However, Shi Huan was always stable and revered in the army. Cao Cao also appreciated Shi Huan's calmness, so he specially ordered him to serve as Cao Ren's deputy general to assist Cao Ren.
"Thank you very much Shi Huan did not say a word. Five hundred of them were immediately assigned to him.
"The rest, follow me!"
Cao Ren gave a big drink and pulled out his horse. The 1400 riding horses were roaring from him. After Cao Ren's back, he swept out like a whirlwind, sweeping the earth.
Step on it!
Although it was reduced by nearly a quarter, the power of the remaining 1400 galloping horses still awed the earth. With the trampling of horses' hoofs and the noise of the dust, nearly 3000 horses galloped around the Jiangdong army. It was clear that there were only 1400 horses, which seemed to surround the army.
The cavalry of Cao's army is only a hundred steps away from the outermost layer of Jiangdong army. The two armies can see the reflection on each other's armor, helmet and blade. After 1400 horsemen galloping, some Jiangdong troops in the outer part of the army were nervous. They clenched their swords and cheered themselves up.
"Order!"
Zhou Yu waved the flag and yelled, "order the whole army to stand in line. No one is allowed to move without permission. If you violate the military law, you will be punished."
The generals of Cheng Pu, Xu Sheng, pan Zhang, and LV Meng had their hands on one side, and they had words in their mouths.
"Dudu has orders, line up!"
"The swordsman and shield man are in front to prevent the enemy cavalry from attacking!"
"All stand still. Don't move. Who dares to move? I'll cut him off!"
Under the supervision of the generals, the 13000 Jiang East army did not move forward, but formed in situ. As Han Dang had arranged before, the swords and shields were on the outermost layer to resist the impact of Cao's cavalry, while spearmen and archers were at the back as means of attack.
Many Jiangdong soldiers were relieved to rely on their fellow soldiers around them. In the face of the enemy's attack, they were the ones who could most trust and even entrust their lives to. Before that, the total number of Korean troops was only over 2000, while Zhou Yu's total was 13000. Naturally, the soldiers were at ease.
Zhou Yu stood on the chariot and carefully observed the cavalry of Cao army around Jiangdong army, and Cao Ren also observed the Jiangdong army array opposite.
Han Dang is an old general who has been following Sun Jian and sun CE for more than ten years. He has rich experience in battle, and the array is naturally strong. However, Zhou Yu, who had not been able to establish himself this year, had a more rigorous military array. The less troops he had, the easier it would be to line up. The more troops he had, the more difficult it would be for him to command and operate. Therefore, Han Xin once said that Liu Bang was "a king but a hundred thousand soldiers". You Liu Bang could command 100000 soldiers at most, and you would not be able to command if you had more.
One thousand and four hundred horses circled Zhou Yujun for two full laps. Although some Jiangdong soldiers were nervous, they did not make any mistakes under the strict supervision of the generals. Cao Ren could not help frowning.
"Zhou Yu is capable of using military force. No wonder the prime minister asked me to be careful."
Cao Ren thought for a moment and ordered, "Niu Jin!"
"Captain, what's your order?" Niu Jin drove his horse forward. Although he was stabbed on his left arm by Han Dang before, he had bandaged the wound. If the meat is not deep, the problem is not big.
"Niu Jin, do you dare to take 300 horses and seduce the arrows of the east Jiang army and then attack them?" Cao Ren asked.
Niu Jinhao airway: "Captain, don't worry, I'll come when I go."
"Follow me!" he exclaimed
Three hundred horsemen were separated from the army to follow him and gallop out toward the Jiangdong army. Niu Jin led the 300 cavalry around the place 100 paces away from the Jiangdong army. From time to time, he thrust forward and backward, intending to lure the Jiangdong army to shoot arrows.
Xu Sheng, a young but calm man who oversees the war, ordered: "no one can shoot arrows without my command, and those who violate the military law will engage in it."
The archers of Jiangdong army watched Niu Jin gallop back and forth, but they wanted to force down their bows. Most of them were elite soldiers and had strong psychological quality. Therefore, even in the face of Niu Jin's seduction, they were still motionless.
Niu Jin led three hundred horsemen to seduce him. However, in the Jiangdong army formation, it was like a piece of wood, motionless. He could not help but get a burst of anger.
"Move forward and see how long this group of Jiangdong soldiers can endure it!"
Under Niu Jin's adventure, he led 300 iron horses to 80 steps. Xu Sheng's eyes lit up.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A rain of arrows suddenly let out, nearly a thousand arrows fell like rain, swishing and swishing. Dozens of Cao's cavalry in the front were hit by arrows. More than ten people fell on the spot. The rest of them cried out in pain and turned around and left.
"Damn it!"
Niu Jin snorted, but he came back to Cao Ren and reported: "Xiaowei, the enemy's formation is steady. I'm afraid it won't move."
"Well."
Cao Renmu hummed: "it seems that the Jiangdong army has become an iron bastard. In this case, we will smash the iron wangba!"After that, Cao Ren took a drink, turned his head and said, "the whole army, follow me!"
"No!"
More than 1300 horsemen followed closely behind Cao Ren and rushed out. However, Cao Ren did not directly attack Zhou Yu's army, but still circled Zhou Yu's army. The cavalry of the Cao army galloped around the Jiangdong army. Naturally, the Jiangdong army had to make a response. The formation was facing the cavalry of the Cao army and changed slightly.
Turn!
Cao Ren did not stop, more than 1300 riders had been running around, but Jiangdong army was only able to deal with it passively, which inevitably revealed a flaw over time.
When the army of Jiang Dong on the southeast side turned around, several soldiers were so nervous that they didn't pay attention to their feet. They stepped on the stone and fell to the ground with a thump. When he fell to the ground, he subconsciously grasped his colleagues and pushed his feet out. As a result, more than ten soldiers fell to the ground, causing a little panic.
Cao Ren's eyes brightened: "the target enemy southeast side, into which!"
One thousand and three hundred riders roared, and in an instant they gathered into a sharp cone formation and galloped toward the southeast side of Jiangdong army.
Step on it!
At last, the noise of Cao's horse's hooves was like thunder.
Zhou Yu, however, remained motionless. He believed that Jiangdong army could cope with the situation. The bright younger generation of
, who was stationed in the southeast, was Pan Zhang, the rising star of Jiangdong army. He saw Cao Jen leading the wolf to rush to the *, and had already entered the hundred steps, and immediately swung his arm.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrow darted out and fell like rain. It landed in Cao Ren's army. Nearly a hundred horses were shot and fell from their horses for a while, causing heavy casualties.
Cao Ren gnawed his teeth, but did not order the withdrawal of troops, but continued to plunge.
As long as we can break through the Jiangdong army array, all the losses are worth it!
