Chapter 485: Cao Zhang's Bravery
Cao Zhang wanted to say something more when he heard the rumble of war drums coming from outside the dense forest.
Hearing the sound of war drums, both Lu Bu and Cao Zhang understood that Wen Chou was preparing to attack.
However, neither Lu Bu nor Cao Zhang were in a hurry, because the person defending Baima Crossing was Cao Ren, who was the best at defending Cao Jun.
I think back to last year, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao defeated Chibi and retreated to Jingzhou with only his remaining soldiers.
It happened that there was an emergency in the north and Boss Cao needed to come back for reinforcements, so Cao Ren was asked to lead the remaining soldiers who had retreated from Chibi to guard Jingzhou.
As a result, Cao Ren relied on these stragglers to withstand the siege of Zhou Yu's army.
If it weren't for Zhuge Liang, an old man who didn't respect martial ethics, attacked from behind, and encouraged Jingzhou, Liu Bei would have done nothing.
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Cao Ren is good at defense.
Think about it, Cao Ren could defend Zhou Yu with a group of defeated soldiers, but now he can't defend Baima Cross with his elite troops.
Therefore, Lu Bu and Cao Zhang were not in a hurry. They were waiting for the opportunity to give Wen Chou a fatal blow.
When is a good time? Of course it is when Wen Chou is ready to withdraw his troops and return to camp.
At that time, Yuan's soldiers had experienced a day of offensive and defensive battles. When they were tired and their soldiers had no fighting spirit, it was a good opportunity for a sneak attack.
As a result, tens of thousands of elite cavalry hid in the dense forest less than six miles away from Baima Crossing, waiting quietly.
A few hours later, as the sun in the sky turned to the west, Lu Bu and Cao Zhang finally heard the golden sound of Yuan Jun withdrawing his troops.
Cao Zhang suddenly jumped up from the ground, and then climbed onto his horse. The elite tiger and leopard cavalry behind him also climbed onto the horse's back at the same time.
"Brothers, for the sake of your lord and your majesty, follow me and kill the enemy!" Cao Zhang shouted and rushed out first.
The tiger and leopard riders behind him did not shout loudly, because tens of thousands of people shouted together, and the sound could be heard miles away.
Although, once they galloped, Yuan Jun could hear them as long as he was not deaf.
But the horses charged forward so fast that even if Yuan Bing heard about it, he would not have time to change his formation.
After all, it is better to be discovered later than earlier.
However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not react at all. Once the horses under their crotches started running, they began to exude a strong murderous aura.
Cao Zhang led the tiger and leopard cavalry, but he was discovered by Yuan Jun before he could run a mile.
At this time, Yuan Jun was obviously in chaos.
Anyone who suddenly sees a large group of heavily armored cavalry charging towards them from the side will feel numb.
In addition, these Yuan soldiers had been fighting for several hours, and they themselves were quite tired. At this time, they suddenly saw the tiger and leopard cavalry rushing towards them, and Yuan Jun subconsciously wanted to escape.
At this time, Wen Chou, as the commander-in-chief, stood up. He ordered the supervising team to intercept the defeated troops, and asked his deputy general to lead the men to reorganize the team.
As for him, he led five thousand cavalry and faced them head-on, hoping to intercept Cao Zhang's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Looking at the Yuan Jun cavalry approaching, Cao Zhang just raised his right arm high, and the tiger and leopard cavalry behind him suddenly divided into two parts: tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry.
Then Cao Zhang led 5,000 tiger cavalry to confront him directly, and the remaining 10,000 tiger cavalry continued to charge head-on towards the chaotic Yuan army.
The Leopard Cavalry also began to surround Yuan Jun, firing arrows non-stop, disrupting Yuan Jun's assembly.
Seeing the sudden attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Wen Chou felt insulted as he only used part of his troops to stop him.
When he saw that the general leading the army was just a young man, Wen Chou couldn't bear it anymore.
"Shuzi! Today, I will attack you first!" Wen Chou roared, and stabbed Cao Zhang with the spear in his hand.
And Cao Zhang dared to bring the same troops and horses to fight Wen Chou, so he was naturally very confident in his own skills.
So, Cao Zhang didn't give up and faced Wen Chou directly. We started to shoot each other in the middle of the battlefield.

In fact, strictly speaking, Cao Zhang was a bit weaker than Wen Chou, but Cao Zhang waited for work and had a psychological advantage in the battle situation, so he was able to fight Wen Chou back and forth for a while.
On the other hand, Wen Chou had fought with Cao Ren for a whole day and was already a little tired.
At this time, he didn't even need to look back, knowing that his side was definitely at a disadvantage.
Therefore, he was eager to defeat Cao Zhang and then rescue his soldiers, so he would inevitably feel a little anxious.
Once people are anxious, they will naturally have flaws, and when fighting on the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to have flaws.
After less than twenty moves, Wen Chou was at a disadvantage. Cao Zhang seized the opportunity and stabbed Wen Chou's shoulder armor with a spear. Then Cao Zhang used his strength and knocked Wen Chou's shoulder armor away.
At this time, Wen Chou was a little panicked. Although he didn't want to lose, he wanted to turn defeat into victory.
But, winning or losing the battle is not as important as your own life.
He took the time to look back and saw that the 20,000 horses behind him were already fleeing in all directions.
Wen Chou felt that something was wrong in his heart. As a general, he took the lead and stood at the front, just to buy time with the soldiers behind him.
As a result, he was beaten like a dog and almost died. As a result, the group of people behind him failed to live up to his expectations and was defeated.
As a result, Wen Chou felt that he could no longer wait, so it was better to run away first.
Thinking of this, Wen Chou started to explode violently, attacking Cao Zhangji a few times, forcing Cao Zhang back, and then he turned around and ran away.
Cao Zhang looked at Wen Chou who was trying to escape, and he also chased after him.
Just kidding, after finally catching a big fish like Wen Chou, if you let him run away, how will you survive in the future?
Ever since, a famous scene was staged in the open space outside Baima Crossing, where he ran, he chased, and he couldn't fly.
However, Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's general and top thug after all, and his equipment must be top-notch.
The war horse under Wen Chou's crotch was better than that of Cao Zhang, so Cao Zhang could not catch up with Wen Chou no matter what.
"Wen Chou, the dog thief, how dare you stay and fight your Grandpa Cao for three hundred rounds!" Cao Zhang couldn't catch up to Wen Chou, so he could only attack with verbal attacks.
However, as a mature military commander, Wen Chou would not be offended by Cao Zhang's childish words.
As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. When he returns to Yuan Shao, he will come back with an army to kill him!
As Wen Chou ran and thought about how he should take revenge, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.
He lowered his head and saw that an arrow missed and passed directly through his right chest. An armor-piercing arrow as thick as a thumb was shot from the back, and the arrowhead came out directly from his right chest.
Wen Chou felt that his body was a little cold and his strength was constantly losing.
