On the city’s head, Chen Gong’s expression was full of worries. He was not worried about Zang Ba’s safety. He knew Zang Ba’s martial arts. If the thousands of cavalry who went out of the city were fighting with Cao Jun’s heavy cavalry, once their own cavalry was there. The heavy cavalry was defeated under the prestige, and it became a lot more difficult to stabilize the situation in the city.
Zang Ba occupied Xia Pi for a short time. As long as Zang Ba showed his defeat, the hidden enemy might stand up.
After the twenty-go, Zang Ba's mouth showed a smile. Although Cao Ren's marksmanship was powerful, he could feel that Cao Ren was already at the end of the strong crossbow. Without twenty-go, he could defeat Cao Ren.
Cao Ren tried his best to resist the attack from Zang Ba on the battlefield. Such battles on the battlefield were of great help to the improvement of Cao Ren's martial arts. Although in normal times, Cao Ren would compete with other generals in the army. This kind of discussion can come fast with the promotion when facing life and death on the battlefield.
At this time, Cao Ren was completely at a disadvantage, feeling the soreness of his arm, Cao Renxu shook a shot and headed towards the main formation.
Zang Ba laughed loudly when he saw this, but he didn't go forward and chase him. The cavalry that came with him burst into bursts of shouts. In contrast, the look of the heavy cavalry was not as relaxed as before.
With a wave of the long knife in Zang Ba's hand, a thousand cavalrymen slew towards the heavy cavalry.
Cao Ren, who had just rushed back to the main formation, saw this situation, and gave an order, and thousands of heavy cavalry marched towards the cavalry under Zang Ba's command.
This is the first battle of the Cao Jun heavy cavalry since its formation.
The heavy cavalry charged up with shocking momentum. A lieutenant in the Zang Overlord army pierced the spear in the enemy's chest fiercely, but seeing that the cavalry could easily evade the spear in a critical moment. The spear thorn on the armor only brought a little spark, and then the cavalry flicked the long knife in his hand, and the captain fell off his horse. Generations, can find the weakness of the heavy cavalry, otherwise the heavy cavalry will be an invincible existence for the general army.
Zang Ba's victory has aroused the fighting spirit of the cavalry under his command to a certain extent. However, after the fight, Zang Ba's mood is not as easy as before. The enemy's cavalry is too tightly protected. After the actual fight, his own side is At an absolute disadvantage, from time to time, I saw the cavalry on his side fall, and the cavalry in Cao Ren's army did not suffer too much.
The confrontation with the heavy cavalry ended with Zang Ba leading the cavalry and fled.
Seeing Cao Ren’s cavalry burst out of the city, Zang Ba’s mood can be imagined. He originally thought that Cao Jun’s cavalry had a limit, no matter how elite, but he did not expect the heavy cavalry to be so powerful. The arrow can't bring harm to the enemy, and the weapon's blade can't have the expected effect in some cases, and the heavy cavalry feels that Zang Ba can't speak.
"Gongtai, before this general did not listen to your words, and this was the defeat outside the city." Zang domineering, the battle between the generals in front of the formation, although it can stimulate the morale of the army, than to win on the battlefield. Victory is not a big deal. The battle between the two armies depends more on the abilities of their subordinates. Otherwise, even if the martial arts of a military commander is no matter how strong, facing the siege of enemy soldiers, the ultimate fate can only be death in battle. . .
Chen Gongdao: "The general's ability to defeat Cao Ren is also extremely beneficial to our army. The heavy cavalry is so powerful that the general must have seen it. Once the cavalry charges up, the power is huge."
Zang Ba nodded in agreement. When the battle was just now, the number of cavalry who fell on his side reached a hundred, and the maximum number of heavy cavalry fell was only 20. This has reached a loss of one to five on the battlefield.
"The generals should be careful to guard against Cao Jun. It has the benefit of the city. Even if the number of Cao Jun is large, it is difficult to play a big role." Chen Gongdao.
Zang Ba can recognize his own mistakes in time, and Chen Gong still appreciates Zang Ba's point.
Cao Ren led the heavy cavalry to victory, and reminded the family in the city that in terms of the strength of the cavalry, the Cao Jun was stronger than the cavalry under the Zang Ba, and more Cao Jun will come in the future.
However, if Zang Ba still has a certain prestige in the city, most of the aristocratic families are in a wait-and-see state. They have to see whether Zang Ba can withstand Cao Jun’s attack, otherwise, they don’t mind if Zang Ba comes from behind. For a moment, in the face of interests, it seems that reuse and friendship cannot move the family.
When Cao Cao led the army to Xiapi, it caused greater turmoil in the city. There was still a big gap between what he heard and what he saw. They naturally had heard of Cao Jun's greatness.
Cao Cao led his troops to Xiapi. After the heavy delivery, a hundred Perak vehicles were set up in the east and south of the city and began to attack Xiapi.
Although Xiapi city has such defensive weapons as the Thunderbolt and the bed crossbow, it is naturally incomparable with Cao Jun in number. Although it has the advantages of the city, the range of the Thunderbolt is longer than that of Cao Jun, but it does not take up too much. Big and cheap.
Five days later, the moats between the east and north of the city were filled for Cao Jun. During this period, Zang Ba thought of leading the cavalry to raid Cao Jun’s camp, but he was dissuaded by Chen Gong. Cao Cao led the troops to fight for many years, and the defense of the camp must be extremely tight. .
After the moat was filled for Cao Jun, Cao Jun launched an attack on Xiangpi.
Although many of the Cao Jun who participated in the siege were recruits, under the lead of the veterans in the army, they still broke out not weak combat effectiveness.
The thunderbolt carts and crossbows in the city have not stopped since Cao Jun arrived, and the damage to Cao Jun can be imagined.
Zang Ba, holding a long sword, appeared in the east of the city where the attack was the most fierce.
The Thunderbolt in the east of the city stopped attacking when Cao Jun's ladder soldiers charged towards the city wall. For this distance, Cao Jun paid the price.
This is also the reason why Cao Jun’s Thunderbolt cars cannot absolutely suppress Xiapi. Although there are only a hundred Thunderbolt cars in the city, there are many crossbows, which caused great trouble to Cao Jun, especially the crossbows. This is an absolute weapon to defend the city. Sometimes an arrow can take the lives of several soldiers.
A famous Cao Jun soldier was driven down after attacking the city wall. Since Cao Jun started to attack the city, he has been smashed continuously.
Suddenly, a strong tremor came from the city gate.
"The defenders on the gates of Chuan Ling, as long as Cao Jun gets close to the gates, they will smash them fiercely." Zang Ba commanded with a low expression on his face.
Although the number of Cao Jun was large, the defenders on the city were extremely tenacious and defuse Cao Jun's offensive several times.
