Cao Cao praised Zhou Yu so much. Cheng Yu nodded his head and agreed: "the prime minister said it is true. I heard that sun CE had left a last word to his younger brother Sun Quan before he died, saying," you can't ask Zhang Zhao about internal affairs, and you can't ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs. "
"I can't imagine that Zhou Yu is just a weak scholar, but he can fight so well."
Dianwei beside Cao Cao scratched his head and did not dare to set up a channel.
"Ha ha, Zi man. Meng Ben and Xia Yu were both brave men, but they could not lead the army in the battle Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Well, I can't lead the war for the prime minister, but I will fight to protect the prime minister's safety." Dianwei patted his chest.
Cao Zhen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "prime minister, now that Zixiao uncle is trapped in the Jiangdong army, our army can send troops to meet Jiangdong soldiers. On the one hand, the trapped soldiers and horses are exhausted. Our army can rescue Zixiao uncle and our cavalry. Second, if we cooperate with Zixiao uncle inside and outside, it is not difficult to defeat Jiangdong army."
Cao Cao nodded approvingly: "Zidan said well, Wenlie, you should learn more from Zi Dan."
Cao Xiu nodded solemnly: "after the war, you must go back to read more about war."
"Good."
Cao Cao ordered: "Zihe, rulingzi Dan and a thousand cavalry."
"No Cao Chun and Cao Zhen agreed.
Cao Cao said: "Wen Qian, you lead ten thousand soldiers as the vanguard and approach the Jiangdong army. Wen lie will act as your deputy general and study hard."
Happy into Cao Xiu, they also agreed.
"Bear in mind that the infantry and cavalry should cooperate with each other to stabilize the situation. First, they should rescue Zixiao's headquarters, and then confront the Jiangdong army. If it is not for the Jiangdong army's attack or the prime minister's order, it is not allowed to engage the Jiangdong army."
"No!"
Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and lejin agreed in unison, and then they led the army.
Cao Chun led a thousand steeds, which were tigers and leopards. However, as the horse armor was still being made, it was still only "leopard riding" for the time being.
Instead of galloping, a thousand leopards marched in formation. At the same time, lejin also led the ten thousand Cao troops. One of the four big formations followed lejin and moved slowly towards the direction of Jiangdong army. The thousand leopard horses and the ten thousand Cao Army soldiers kept a steady rhythm and moved forward.
"Our army will follow suit."
With a big wave of Cao Cao's hand, the remaining nearly 30000 troops of Cao also slowly formed up, following Cao Chun, lejin and others.
Step on it!
A total of 40000 troops of Cao troops formed and exhausted. The horses' hooves and feet trampled on the earth, making a roaring sound. It was like a giant beast in the classics of mountains and seas that suddenly appeared on the wilderness and stepped on the earth.
"Dudu, Cao's army is coming. How should our army deal with it?"
Tai Shici sent a sentry to ask Zhou Yu.
"Order Ziyi to release Cao Ren." Zhou Yu ordered.
"Let it go?" Cheng Pu was surprised: "isn't this a failure?"
"General Cheng, the five hundred cavalry of the Cao army and Cao Ren's internal and external cooperation just now nearly broke our army's formation. If tens of thousands of Cao's troops and Cao Ren's internal and external cooperation, our army can last for a long time?"
Zhou Yu ordered: "order Ziyi to open a gap and let Cao Ren go. But don't do nothing. Send more archers to shoot and kill the enemy's cavalry. The more, the better."
"No!"
"Order! After Cao Ren was released, the whole army gathered outside the north gate of Shu county to deal with Cao's army. " Zhou Yu said again.
"No!"
The sentry came at a gallop, then galloped back, telling Tai Shici of Zhou Yu's orders.
"What? To let Cao Ren go Tai Shici frowned.
"Ziyi, the governor is also worried that the enemy should cooperate with him. Let's listen to the governor first." One side of Xu Sheng advised.
Tai Shici sighed: "well, order to open the gap, set archers on both wings, and try to kill Cao's cavalry."
When taishici's military order came out, the Jiangdong army of course carried out it immediately. The Jiangdong army suddenly shrank, and more than a thousand soldiers withdrew one after another, pushing them to the two wings, making way for a gap.
"Cao Lifeng, when the prime minister's army arrives, the Jiangdong army is afraid to keep our army." Niu Jin laughs.
"No
Cao Ren frowned: "Jiangdong army harbors evil intention..."
Niu Jin looked up and saw that the first row of Jiangdong army on both sides of the gap was Dao Dun hand, and after Dao Dun hand were rows of archers. They opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows on the string sent out chilly cold light. Once hit, they would be torn to pieces.
"Damn it..."
Cao Ren snorted coldly: "command the whole army to crouch low and speed up the passage."
"No!"
Under Cao Ren's command, these steeds also realized that something was wrong. They were silent one by one. Then they grasped the reins of the horses and tried to lower their bodies on their backs.
"Kill!"
Nearly 900 cavalry of the Cao army galloped out in a flash. The cavalry of the Cao army tried their best to urge the horses to speed up their speed and wanted to pass through the death passage quickly."Ready!"
Tai Shici held the wolf's tooth arrow and fixed his eyes on the Cao cavalry galloping in the smoke and dust. His eyes calculated that the distance of the Cao army was gradually approaching, and he gently opened the bow string.
"Let go
Whoosh! Whoosh!
There were thousands of archers in the two rows of Jiangdong army. At one time, thousands of arrows flew out. The arrows were like locusts, which covered Cao's cavalry.
"Ah
"Well..."
suddenly, many Cao's cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, and the huge horses became living targets. Each horse was hit by dozens of arrows, bleeding all over, and fell to the ground directly under the pain, and the Cao soldiers on their backs were also thrown down.
Taishici was so dazzled that he would shoot when he opened his bow. Instead of pulling the bow string full, he shot it half way. It was like a machine. He took the arrow from the back of the arrow bag, put it on the bow string, and shot it loose. Within a minute, he shot more than a dozen arrows, and each arrow had a very high head. No arrow was on the horse, but all of them were on Cao Bing.
His head, heart and throat were all vital to his life. There were more than a dozen Cao Jun killed by his arrows alone.
"Rush!"
With Cao Ren's death urging horses, he yelled, and the nine hundred riders were bathed in the torrential rain, but the raindrops were arrows.
Jiang Dongjun's arrows were shot down like a storm. In a short period of time, Cao's army was badly wounded and killed. More than 300 riders were killed and injured at one go, leaving only 600.
However, after clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, more than 600 horsemen rushed out with the fierce and rainy arrows of the Jiangdong army. However, the iron cavalry of the Cao army who rushed out was basically covered with blood, and their armour leaves and bodies, at least, were hung with several arrows. They were all in a mess.
