Wu Zhen ordered fifty light cavalry, each carrying two flags, heading behind the earthen hill, intending to walk far away to the back of the woodland.

The terrain around Xincai is generally very flat. In addition to continuous soil hills, there are also some dry old rivers or natural embankments. Behind this soil hill is an old river. The soil on the ground is dry like stones, and only some miscellaneous trees and weeds take root here tenaciously.

Wu Zhen and others went south along this river channel. Because the river channel meandered, their figures could no longer be seen.

After a moment, all the cavalry of the rear team arrived. According to Cao Xiu's instructions, they all slept in ambush and stopped, and only officers above Qu Chang climbed to the top of the ground to see the movements of the enemy.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the south of the forest. Cao Gong's team was twenty miles away and was still slowly approaching. Could it be that when Cao Gong's army was in great order, he was still lying here? What was that? Cao Xiu couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He untied his sword, placed it horizontally in front of him, and repeatedly held it tightly and let it go.

Another deputy general, Shi Liu, was an old subordinate of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei. He joined Cao Gong during the Xingyang War. He had a very profound experience and had a strategy. Seeing this, he quickly advised: "The commander has just used his troops. As the saying goes, he doubts and then attacks, and then moves, and deeply integrates the military strategy. Even if Cao Gong comes in person, he will definitely praise him."

Cao Xiu was happy when he heard this and said humbly: "Weapon is a treacherous way. These little tricks may be used occasionally, but may have miraculous effects."

At this moment, the south of the forest was noisy, and the shouts of killing echoed endlessly. There were also layers of soil ashes rolling up, and Cao Xiu could see them through the dense treetops.

"Okay, Wu Zhen has arrived!" Cao Xiu clapped his hands and turned back and shouted: "Call soldiers, get ready!"

The soldiers behind Tugang were all on horseback with the help of the followers. Among the light cavalry, there were many Xianbei, Wuhuan and Hu people muttering words that they couldn't understand. Some took out scimitars and short axes, and some took out lassoes, and circled loosely around their arms.

After half a quarter of an hour, the enemy troops in the dense forest were indeed alarmed by the sounds in the south and ran out of the woodlands. The team was loose and they were like rushing around, just like fleeing troops. They didn't look like an army, but like fleeing military farmer.

Among the team, dozens of other stricter ranks surrounded by several cavalry generals, carrying guns and riding horses, and hurriedly walking. While walking, the generals seemed to be still shouting to reorganize the troops.

Cao Xiu couldn't help laughing: "Is this what the Prime Minister said, is a fierce enemy who is good at fighting?"

He slowly pulled his sword in his hand and looked back at the soldiers behind him: "In recent years, there have been few major battles between our army and the Sun and Liu bandits. During the Red Cliff, our army was forced to burn ships due to the epidemic, which made the bandits think they were strong and arrogant and so arrogant... You see, they dared to disturb Xu Du with such dog-like miscellaneous soldiers!

Several of the music chiefs sneered after seeing it, and said, "As the commander said, they were simply here to die."

Everyone is about to go out to fight now.

Cao Xiu said: "Don't be in a hurry. Now that they rush out, if they escape back to the woods, we will seem to be unable to eliminate evil. When they come out, when they approach the dock wall, the iron cavalry will rush and kill you happily!"

The entourages behind him had already taken the horse at this time.

Cao Xiu left the top of the Tugang, turned back to ride a horse, and said to Shi Liu and several other subordinates: "You can watch it, wait until they approach the dock wall... Well, let me know when they almost arrived at the gentle slope with many thorns!"

Shi Liu nodded and continued to stare at the scattered soldiers.

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but say, "It was this kind of soldiers who defeated Xu Gongming? It was this kind of soldiers who defeated General Xiahou? It was this kind of soldiers who rushed from Wancheng to Runan County, claiming to threaten Xu Du? It was a bit ridiculous!"

Several people around him were holding their breath to calculate the distance between the enemy and the gentle slope, but no one paid attention to him for a while. :(/

Shi Liu murmured to himself again: "I heard that these bandits came from the so-called Huainan Haoyou Alliance. They used to occupy this place and deal with various forces. They were all ghosts in Lujiang. In this way, how could they not beware of the distance and near, and even hundreds of our cavalry were blocked near?"

He thought about it and found it a bit suspicious.

If you can have a big victory in front of Prime Minister Cao, it will naturally be a good thing, but if your actions are all calculated by the enemy's soldiers, I'm afraid...

He turned his back and slid down the diagonal back of the Tugang, saying, "Prince, wait..."

However, at this time, the first few small schools on the ground were shouting: "Prince, the enemy has all left the forest, and our army can act!"

Shi Liu hurriedly said, "Let's wait! Let's wait!"

How could Cao Xiu care about him? He shook the reins suddenly, rode his horse over the ground, and rushed out; he shouted loudly: "Cabine Commander Cao Xiu is here! Lei Yuan, knelt down and surrender, and you will never die!"

The subordinates charged forward together and shouted with Cao Xiu: "Lie Yuan, knelt down and surrender, and you will never die!"

Cao Xiu had been taught by Cao Ren in his use of cavalry, and often asked for advice from the generals who were from the elite cavalry of the Han army in the army. He was very sensible in using military forces. Whether it was marching or fighting, he was in accordance with the laws of the Han army's knights, and he had achieved the samadhi of it.

He also knew that the current situation was to fight slowly with fast attacks, use cavalry to overcome the storm, and use elite forces to break through the mob. Therefore, hundreds of light and heavy cavalry did not form a dense frontal formation, but instead spread their wings and face the enemy with a huge front facing dozens of feet wide.

In this way, the power of hundreds of cavalry is almost like thousands of cavalry and ten thousand cavalry, and it is like the raging waves of the deep sea rolling up from the embankment, as if it is like the collapse of clouds and cracking the shore.

How can a mere thriving soldier beside him?

After the thought changed, he suddenly noticed that the enemy troops who had been running around were suddenly attacked by the enemy, but they were not in panic. In the short time when Cao Xiu led his troops to approach quickly, their team had gone from loose to tight, and the queue of more than a thousand people suddenly shrank to a very small range!

Cao Xiu's heart suddenly jumped.

Why don’t they panic? Why don’t they run away?

The cavalry team ran so quickly, Cao Xiu thought in his mind, and the war horse galloped hundreds of steps, getting closer and closer to the enemy's formation.

But the general in the queue was shouting several times. The soldiers on the outside stepped outwards, standing firmly with their feet one after another, raising their shields with a loud bang. The soldiers on the inside raised their bows and crossbows one after another.

At this time, the sun shines brightly, but the sun shines on hundreds of sharp clusters of arrows, and it emits a cold light!

There are so many crossbows? This must be pre-arranged. The enemy is waiting to use strong bows and hard crossbows to counter the Iron Cavalry!

Cao Xiu was shocked and then smiled disdainfully.

The enemy general's plan was comprehensive, which made me fall into the calculation. However, the cavalry was a clutch and agglomeration army. How could the cavalry change faster than the infantry? The ferociousness of the tiger and leopard cavalry can be matched by hundreds of bows and arrows?

You still have to die! You are dead!

Cao Xiu slightly slammed the reins and made the horse run to the right, slowing down the speed of his progress, then whistled. With the whistle, the light cavalry on both wings suddenly stretched out, expanding the front of the team even wider, and then took out the horn bows from behind. In this way, the central cavalry seemed to suddenly be indented in a large piece on the flat front.

I heard the enemy general shouting: "Shoot the arrow!"

The arrows fell like rain, but because the front of the cavalry was too wide, there was no result. The light cavalry shot from both wings, while the heavy cavalry of Cao Xiu's troops was even more unharmed. Because he suddenly slowed down his running speed, the enemy archers had no time to adjust, and many arrows flew to the ground in front of the cavalry and fell down. The fastest update was:

At this time, the generals around Cao Xiu had planned to take the bow and shoot. Cao Xiu drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "The thief's skills are stopped! Follow me and flatten them!"
