Chapter 787
. , The Three Kingdoms began with fooling Liu Bei
Seeing Zhang Fei's troops coming with arrogance, although they knew that Zhang Fei's troops were not as strong as their own, the Cao army generals were also excited, but only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, two scheming people, dare not ignore them.
Instead, he restrained the troops and immediately changed from the marching formation to the alert formation.
Cao Cao completely put away his laughter and looked at him solemnly: "Zhang Fei actually dared to use a mere army to surround Ji and take the initiative to fight our army? Could it be that there is a fraud?"
There is a saying that the older the world, the less courageous it is. If something goes wrong, an old world like Cao Cao must be careful.
Cao Cao's prudence made the Cao army, which was in a turbulent manner, be suppressed in its momentum.
As the people and horses approached, the horse's hooves stopped and the dust dissipated. Cao Cao finally saw clearly that there were no more than 10,000 or 20,000 people on the other side, but they were all cavalry and there were no infantry at all.
Obviously, Zhang Fei also knew that he was running from afar to fight and could not immediately enter the battle. He needed to rectify his formation and give the horse a rest buffer.
Liu Bei has been very rich over the years, claiming to have 70,000 or 80,000 elite cavalry. After even Lu Bu surrendered, he even exceeded 100,000 (Cao Cao also regarded Lu Bu as Liu Bei's army)
I miss him, Cao Mengde was a hero for a lifetime, and was struggling for so many years that he finally moved Yuan Shao, who was so overwhelmed by his head, was considered richer in the cavalry.
Before, because his territory had never reached the northernmost horse-producing area, the number of cavalry in Cao's army had been hovering between 30,000 and 40,000, and never exceeded 50,000.
Now that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have been subdued, they have been temporarily elected by the imperial court to take over the prime minister, and have been recruited more than half of the remnants of Hebei, and have broken through the hurdle of "the total size of cavalry is 50,000".
Unfortunately, if you can't get back to Youzhou, then all the states bordering the grasslands are in the hands of Liu Bei. Cao Cao's golden period of "fascendent development" will eventually be destined to be a flash in the pan and a water without a source.
"Zhang Fei is indeed reckless. He only has 10,000 or 20,000 cavalrymen, so he dares to suppress the entire army and take the initiative to fight our army. Or he plans to escape when he is defeated in a while, and there are other ambushers in the rear to lure our army into the trap.
But this is too clumsy. The ambush bait is not played by tens of thousands of cavalry at any time. It is really a mediocre general who has been lucky enough to climb to a high position, and his virtue is not worthy of his position."
After Cao Cao carefully observed, he was so evaluated in his heart, and he secretly felt that Liu Bei's flaws in employment were inconsistent. Liu Bei was extremely strong in both understanding and winning people's hearts, even above Cao Cao.
But only in terms of being ruthless and being a talented person, it is slightly worse than him. At least Liu Bei cannot do absolutely fairly. He only uses generals to look at the generals regardless of their closeness or distantness.
(Of course, Cao Cao really felt that Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were all famous generals. Cao Cao used them as generals not because they were his own brothers)
What's this? In the pseudo-King Dynasty of Guanxi, Zhang Fei could be the General of the Cavalry! You should know that in the Zhengshuo of Guandong, even two months ago, he, Cao, had become the General of the Cavalry! Zhang Fei's existence is simply an insult to the position of General of the Cavalry!
...
Cao Cao was resentful, and Zhang Fei on the opposite side also came out from the crowd and began to make the soldiers scold him: "Cao thief! You grandson of a thief, Yuan Shao was so happy that you could be a fake chariot general when he was alive. He really lost his position as a chariot general!
Yuan Shao has only been dead for a few months, but you have become brave enough to think about Youzhou? Let Naiweng teach you how to fight. When fighting, it is not as powerful as there are many people. You can see the power of You and the Iron Cavalry!"
Of course, there were loyal dogs on Cao Cao's side who first came out to refute, and then considered yelling: "Zhang Fei should not be rampant! Cao Gong is already the prime minister recommended by the court, and Jinan County Duke. You and other incompetent men are also worthy of being the general of chariots and cavalry!"
As for Cao Cao himself, he just observed the enemy situation calmly. He didn't bother with a quarrel with ordinary men like Zhang Fei, which was too expensive.
After the two sides briefly quarreled, Zhang Fei was too lazy to ramble and challenged directly: "Cao thief! Naiweng brought 20,000 cavalry today. Does anyone in your army dare to fight? If there is any, he will be rewarded for death! If they are all turtles, Naiweng will rush to the battlefield!"
Cao's army had just lost some momentum, and now it's not easy to be more timid. However, Cao Cao also knew that Zhang Fei was brave and wanted to win with military tactics, so he was too lazy to let his generals fight with Zhang Fei alone, so as not to give him the heads to waste his head in vain.
However, after he hesitating, he met the surrendered general of the Hebei Army who was eager to make meritorious achievements and asked for a fight.
It turned out that Zhang He came out from the crowd and took the initiative to say, "Prime Minister! Since the end of the Communist Party lost his sincerity, he has rarely had the opportunity to make contributions. Today, please kill Zhang Fei and strengthen our Hebei army's power!"
Cao Cao was unable to see Zhang He's personal martial arts and hesitated: "Although Jun Yi is brave, you must be careful. Zhang Fei is not familiar with military tactics, but he is extremely brave and should not underestimate the enemy."
Zhang He bowed and said, "Others are not familiar with Zhang Fei's background, but the last general knows it well. When the last general was in the tent of governor Jia and the Sima of the Army under the tent of the Duwei Pan, Liu Bei was only a county lieutenant, and he was under the last general, so he was only in this way.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were just a miscellaneous position in the garrison. When he was chasing Zhang Chun, Zhang Fei's martial arts and military skills were far inferior to the last general. No one knew how to restrain him better than the last general. At that time, everyone under Liu Bei's command, but Guan Yu knew that the soldiers were brave and should not be underestimated."
When Cao Cao heard Zhang He praise him so much, he was a little unbelievable at the beginning.
After all, you should not take old things from your youth seriously. How can you say that a person has a low position and poor ability?
What's more, Guan Yu has fought with Yuan Cao many times, which is so powerful that China is so powerful that his ability can be belittled by a few words of yours?
Fortunately, Zhang He also sincerely admitted in the second half that Guan Yu was indeed strong, "Liu Bei's old subordinates were only concerned about this", which helped to regain some of Cao Cao's trust.
After all, when Zhang He was under Yuan Shao's command, he participated in the Battle of Hanoi and was defeated by Guan Yu. However, he didn't have the chance to fight alone, and Zhang He would not open his eyes to tell lies.
Cao Cao nodded: "Since that's the case, let's see that the horse is successful and kill the generals and establish their authority!"
Zhang He responded to the battle, and immediately responded to Zhang Fei's battle with his spear, and cursed:
"A man without any tricks and shame! Do you still recognize the Shangguan back then? Thirteen years ago, a mere village chief relied on pleasing Liu Bei and was promoted to this point. It really shames the martial artists in the world. Let's die! Let's teach everyone the world how ugly Liu Bei is to be a nepotist!"
Zhang Fei was originally here to restrain the seduction today, so he only brought the cavalry because he had 30,000 infantry troops in the future, and was ready to fight in the Yijinglou besieged camp dozens of miles behind.
Unexpectedly, when he met Zhang He, an old thorn who had been dissatisfied with each other more than ten years ago, he came up and fabricated his shortcomings. Zhang Fei almost couldn't help but fight the restraining battle into a general attack.
It would be fine if he didn't accept his ability, but he actually dared to insult his elder brother's standards of employment and his vision?
"Zhang He's dog thief died!" Zhang Fei was so angry that he let out a roar of thunder and roared from a distance, and directly rushed through his arms with fire and mixed fire, roaring too far ahead, and the sound could not form an effective attack.
I don’t expect the bonus of sound wave output! I just rely on the snake spear, real sword, real gun to stab a few transparent holes!
Zhang He also cheered up his spirits and wanted to show off his power in front of his new master, infused his combat power, and fight with bloody battles with great force.
For a moment, the metal and iron clashed, and the moves were vicious. Both sides tried their best to fight to the death for more than twenty rounds. Zhang Fei attacked violently, and Zhang He was slightly embarrassed to defend himself. Occasionally, the scene seemed to be at a disadvantage.
But Zhang Fei was also impatient and could not assassinate the enemy generals for a while. After all, Zhang He's martial arts are also very skilled, and there is no flaw in dealing with them. The difference between the two's martial arts is mainly in terms of strength and speed.
Therefore, before Zhang He's endurance gradually exhausted, Zhang Fei could not win quickly.
After the initial rage, Zhang Fei also realized that the other party had good martial arts skills and put away a little restlessness. He no longer used those very laborious tricks, but instead saved his physical strength while waiting for an opportunity to find flaws. He thought that he would not be able to kill Zhang He without fifty rounds.
Zhang He also complained secretly in his heart. It seemed that he underestimated Zhang Fei back then, but he had never really fought. After so many years, Zhang Fei has become more and more diligent. Today, he is a bit of a mistake in seeking credit and fighting.
Fortunately, everyone has good eyes. Cao Cao didn't put much expectations at the beginning, but he just felt that Zhang He's official position was not high after all. If he could kill the opponent's coach, this matter would be settled today, so he had to take risks.
Now he is really not good at it, and gradually he is in danger. Cao Cao is not stupid, so he immediately ordered Xu Chu to come forward to help the battle. Just think that the two armies are fighting and fighting, rather than making an appointment with a general to fight.
Xu Chu slapped his horse and danced his sword and rushed to Zhang Fei. Zhang He had already received more than 30 moves, his arms were sore and numb. Xu Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei was still not afraid, and he was so angry that he was killed. In addition, Zhang He needed to take the opportunity to stop, so Zhang Fei fought alone, and made a move like the wind, but he was not at a disadvantage for a while.
Fortunately, Xu Chu and Zhang He's attack on Zhang Fei did not last until ten rounds. Seeing that Cao's army was so shameless, the fight turned into a melee, Xu Huang, Que Yi and others naturally rode their horses to rush forward, and the cavalry behind them were eager to try to rush forward at any time.
Cao's army was already used to it. When they saw Xu Huang and others coming out, Gao Lan, Le Jin and others also slapped their horses and shot them.
Xu Huang had just joined the battle group and fought with Zhang Fei to fight Xu Chu and Zhang He. But after a few moves, he naturally separated and turned into Zhang Fei's fierce battle against Xu Chu. Xu Huang fought Zhang He. Gao Lan had just rushed into the battle group, but was intercepted by Qu Yi.
When Le Jin also entered the battle group, the cavalry on both sides had already rolled forward and completely turned into a chaotic battle.
That scene was almost the same as the melee in which Xu Chu fought in a naked horse in another time and space. It was also the bloody battle between Xu Chu and the enemy general, and then the enemy cavalry rushed over.
The biggest difference may be that Xu Chu did not remove his armor this time, so when Zhang Fei's cavalry and those Youzhou cavalry began to harass the archery rain, Xu Chu would not be severely injured after being shot.
A large cavalry army of more than 35,000 people successively entered the front line and started a bloody battle like ground meat, and the advantages and disadvantages quickly became clear.
Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had already suffered heavy damage in the Battle of Kunyang in the first month of the year. The direct cavalry troops sent by him are not very elite.
The 10,000 cavalry brought by Zhang He's surrender can only be said to be in the upper and lower levels among the cavalry of Yuan Shao's camp.
There were nearly 20,000 cavalry on Zhang Fei's side, with half of light and heavy cavalry each, with a little more light cavalry. Compared with Zhang Fei's iron cavalry, Cao's army was obviously crushed, and they were just fighting back and forth against Zhang Fei's light cavalry and Youzhou cavalry.
In just half a stick of incense, the Cao army's cavalry paid more than a thousand people in the enemy's army.
However, their delayed struggle was not worthless, and Cao Cao also commanded Ruoding and was not moved by the loss at all. Because he knew that Zhang Fei's temporary profit was just because the two sides had just begun to fight and fight, Cao's soldiers were disconnected, and the subsequent infantry main formation could not be put into the battlefield for the time being.
