Ma Chao cupped his hands and said: "General Wen, you're welcome. Your army is strong and victory is a matter of course."
Ma Chao's words about strength made Wen Chou suddenly startled. He knew that today's victory was mainly due to the Xiliang army. The tyrannical strength defeated Cao's cavalry, and the general Xu Zhu was even beaten by three soldiers.
The cavalry surrounded them, so they won a great victory.
"Brother Ma, the fighting power of the Xiliang army is indeed extraordinary. Cao Jun always shows off his power in front of our army. He will definitely not be reconciled to being slapped hard. Do you think?" Wen Chou's name for Ma Chao also became
Come on little brother.
"General Wen, I have tried my best before sending troops. If the Lord finds out, he will definitely be scolded. General Wen doesn't want to see me being looked down upon by the people in the army after he returns." Ma Chao said.
"Look down on him? Why?" Wen Chou was very puzzled. He was like a son of a bitch in the army. He took pride in charging into the battlefield, beheading generals and capturing flags. Ma Chao only supported some of his soldiers, and was looked down upon by the generals.
"General Wen is the general of the Jizhou Army. He must know the military orders, right?" Ma Chao said.
"Well, Brother Ma, just say it." Wen Chou was willing to listen to any suggestions at this time. After this battle, the resentment accumulated in his heart was released.
"Military orders are like mountains, which means generals must strictly abide by them and not violate them in the slightest. If found out, the punishment will be very severe, ranging from loss of official position to death."
Wen Shangshangyan was shocked. He didn't know that the Xiliang Army had this rule. He was a military commander. After hearing that it was such a harm to Ma Chao, he secretly complained that he had begged the other party so hard before.[
"Brother Ma, I'm really sorry."
Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "It's okay. General Wen should take the time to go down and rest. Cao Jun has suffered a big loss and will definitely not give up."
After Gao Lan heard the news that Wen Chou came out of the city to meet the enemy's victory, his face showed joy. During this period, although the Xiliang army had been assisting in defending the city, Gao Lan always felt that they were coming.
The cheers did not have any lethality. Now the cavalry went out of the city to fight and defeated Cao's cavalry, killing nearly 600 enemies, and Gao Lan quietly put away his contempt for the Xiliang army.
Whether it is the Jizhou Army or the Cao Army, under the leadership of the Xiliang Army, there must be some cavalry in the army. These cavalry are established by the princes with a lot of effort. The equipment of the war horses alone is a huge amount. The cavalry will be
Naturally, they regard them as treasures, and they will be heartbroken if they lose one. However, Cao Jun directly lost more than a hundred cavalry this time. If such a sum is calculated, it will be huge.
"My lord, I'm humble." Xu Zhu stood aside with a shy expression.
"I can't blame you for this matter. Is the cavalry going out today really the Jizhou Army?" Cao Cao asked. If the cavalry of the Jizhou Army had such combat effectiveness, Cao's army would not have to besiege the city and would have to be careful about being intercepted by Yuan Shao.
There is a way out.
"My lord, judging from the humble position, it doesn't look like this. This fighting method is very similar to the Xiliang Army. Could it be that Yuan Shao imitated the Xiliang Army to form a cavalry?" Xi Zhicai said. Jizhou and Jia Rong have good relations. This matter
The counselors in Cao's camp had already known this.
"Impossible. Even if Yuan Shao and Jia Rong are on good terms, Jia Rong will definitely not give the specific methods of training cavalry to Yuan Shao. Our army has always wanted to form a cavalry. The training is so strict. Isn't it like this?
Look, do you think the generals in our army are inferior to the generals in the Jizhou Army?"
After listening to Cao Cao's words, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, especially the generals in the army, who wanted to bury their heads in the ground.
"Okay, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Why take it to heart? Later, we will continue to challenge the city to see what the strength of the Jizhou army is." Cao Cao did not put Yuan Shao in the position of a great enemy in his heart.
In this world, the ones worthy of Cao Cao's attention are probably the Xiliang Army.
"General, Cao Jun is challenging outside the city."
Wen Chou sneered and said: "Cao Jun thinks that he lost too few soldiers today. Here we go again. Come, order all your troops and horses, and go out of the city to fight."
Gao Lan hurriedly said: "General Wen, Xiliang Army?"
Wen Chou also thought about this matter, but due to what Ma Chao said today, he was embarrassed to go and bother him again, so he said to Gao Lan: "Go and tell General Ma, I will gather all the troops and horses and go out of the city to fight.
"
Wen Chou led the five hundred cavalry out of the city in a majestic manner, without even taking the euphorbias with him. Looking at the five hundred cavalry on the opposite side, he laughed and said: "Cao's army has been replaced, General Dian Wei, don't be sick.
"[
Having fought with Cao's army many times, Cao Cao naturally became familiar with the generals around him. Every time Cao Cao traveled, he was always surrounded by two generals, Dian Wei and Xu Zhu.
"Don't be nagging. Let's see how a certain family cuts off your head and presents it to the lord." Dian Wei said coldly.
"Brothers, did you hear that Dian Wei is going to cut off my general's head? Don't run away in embarrassment like Xu Zhu." Wen Chou did not forget to strike a blow.
The generals of both sides gave orders, and the cavalry was dispatched. Both sides were all cavalry, and there was no difference in equipment. They completely imitated the Xiliang Army. In this way, the competition was based on the personal ability of the cavalry and their ability to cooperate on the battlefield. The cavalry of the princes paid attention to
They charge individually and don't care much about coordination. In their view, war horses are just beasts. How can they understand people's words?
Gao Lan and Ma Chao on the city looked at the cavalry fighting below the city, and they were both silent. Judging from Gao Lan's frown, he was very worried about Wen Chou.
After Ma Chao saw the battle between the two cavalry, he sneered disdainfully. Such cavalry would be eliminated in the Xiliang army. What's the use of only showing off the courage of an ordinary man with his passion? The most he can do is to the enemy.
It just caused a little trouble and made them scramble for a while. It seems that the princes only got the equipment of the cavalry, but not the specific methods. Given time, when such cavalry encounters the Xiliang army, they will still be defeated.
After about an hour of fighting, more than 600 of the 1,000 cavalry were left on the battlefield. Both sides lost about 200 cavalry. On the battlefield, fallen horses and corpses of soldiers could be seen everywhere.
It was a heavy blow, but it was a little worse than the previous battle.
Neither side is willing to retreat, naturally in order to seize the power to clean the battlefield. There are still some main war horses on the battlefield, which will be their strength to reorganize the cavalry. There is also an unwritten rule in the battle between the two sides. The winner is
One side has the right to clean up the battlefield, and the losing side can only return to its own camp in despair.
Ma Chao couldn't stand it anymore and walked towards the city. Gao Lan took a look at the two sides fighting outside the city, followed you, and advised: "General Ma, General Wen are fighting with the enemy outside the city. I hope the general can help.
"
"I have told General Wen before that I will not go out of the city to fight Cao's army again." Ma Chao immediately refused. He did not want his soldiers to become Yuan Shao's shield.
"General Ma, that's not what I meant. Just lead more than a hundred cavalry and go out to hold down the battle for General Wen." Gao Lan said hurriedly.
Ma Chao stared at Gao Lan for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay."
The two hundred cavalrymen came out of the city. Naturally, they did not hide it from Cao Cao. Immediately, Xiahou Dun led two hundred cavalrymen out of the camp to support Dianwei.
Ma Chao ordered his soldiers not to make any unusual movements. They just stood there and observed, quietly waiting for the final outcome of the warring parties.
Not only Dian Wei was frightened when he saw the Xiliang army cavalry leaving the city, but Wen Chou was also frightened when he saw the 200 cavalrymen in Cao's army. The battle has now reached a fever pitch, and any factor may change the situation on the battlefield.
The situation, not to mention two hundred cavalry, but fifty soldiers joining the battle formation would be a fatal blow to the other side.
Looking back and seeing Ma Chao leaving the city, Wen Chou felt relieved and was determined to show off in front of the Xiliang army. He charged hard and ran rampant in the Cao army's camp. For a while, no one could stop him.
Dian Wei was also a ruthless man, so how could he give up? The double halberd dance was so airtight that all the surrounding Jizhou cavalry were killed.
The two killing gods were wreaking havoc in each other's camp. The battle looked more like a confrontation between the two generals.
When Xiahou Dun saw the situation on the battlefield, he naturally felt a little itchy in his heart. He also yearned for a bloody battlefield. Seeing Dian Wei killing so happily, he wanted to step forward.
But after seeing the Xiliang Army cavalry not far away, he put his mind away and immediately thought, "The combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Army cavalry is mediocre. Even if they join the battle, there will be no loss to our side. Maybe there will be some."
The addition of these two hundred cavalry can quickly calm down the war."
After thinking of this, Xiahou Dun no longer hesitated and gave the order to his cavalry to charge.
It is true that they came out to hold the battle, but no one stipulated that they could not go to the battlefield.
Ma Chao looked at the actions of Xiahou Dun and others with a low expression. If he did not take action, the Jizhou Army cavalry would definitely be wiped out. Xiahou Dun's naked contempt angered the Xiliang Army general.
He kicked the horse in the belly, raised the gun with one hand, shouted "Kill!" and took the lead, heading towards the battle formation to kill.
When Wen Chou saw Xiahou Dun dispatching, his face was already bitter, but Ma Chao's "kill" was like the sound of nature, which left people with a lingering aftertaste. His body, which was already a little tired, seemed to recover immediately, and the long knife in his hand kept coming.
Swing it and kill two Cao Jun cavalry.
With a spear in his hand, Ma Chao's aura was like a sword that had just been unsheathed. There was no opponent for the cavalry along the way.
Another four hundred cavalrymen joined the battle, and the situation on the field changed instantly. The two hundred Xiliang Army cavalrymen were not comparable to those of Caojun Army and Jizhou Army Cavalry. With their perfect cooperation and powerful combat effectiveness, they were soon on the battlefield.
There was a bloody storm, and more and more Cao Cao's cavalry fell from their horses.
