When Cao Cao was sighing, a general with a resolute face and heavy armor came to Cao Cao astride a tall horse. The general lowered his head and said respectfully: "Cao Chun, commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, please see my lord.
.”
Cao Chun, Cao Zihe, Cao Ren's brother, the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the Three Kingdoms was trained by him alone. Needless to say, his skills, a person who can train the first army of the Three Kingdoms, naturally can't
Bad.
Cao Cao said kindly: "Zihe, now Zuo Aoran's military advisor Chen Deng has assisted Tao Qian in setting up this strange formation, which has trapped Zixiao, Zilian, and Manchengdu inside. Now you immediately divide the tiger and leopard cavalry into two."
Team, bypass this formation from the left and right, directly attack Chen Deng, the link of this formation, and if possible, do not hurt this young man, it is best to capture him alive."
After hearing this, Cao Chun's eyes flashed with cold light. He nodded and said respectfully: "Yes!" Then Cao Chun said to his deputy Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, you attack from the right, I will attack from the left.
." After Cao Chun finished speaking, he did not hesitate immediately. He waved the silver halberd with the drawing stick in his hand and shouted: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, attack!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A strange horn sound sounded, and the sound was continuous, followed by the deafening sound of horse hooves. A series of horse hooves sounded, and six thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, like a surging torrent, bypassed Hunyuan Yizhen and headed towards the back of the formation.
Chen Dengchu rushed away.
Chen Deng looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise. The sound of horse hoofs was like a big hammer, beating Chen Deng's heart again and again. Although Chen Deng had known the name of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for a long time, he did not expect its power.
It is so big, just from the momentum alone, it gives people an irresistible feeling.
Chen Deng created the formation himself, and of course he knew its advantages and disadvantages. Chen Deng had done simulation training with everyone in advance, but it was not this Xuzhou army. Chen Deng waved the flag in his hand back and forth a few times.
The giant Hunyuan Qi Formation immediately transformed into a long snake formation, and then the formation unfolded, with two teams of people interspersed with offense and defense, like two dragons intertwining and dancing, and evolved into a two dragon water formation.
Yan Liang and He Yi attacked Cao Xiu on the right, Wen Chou and He Man attacked Cao Chun on the left. The two dragons attacked each other in the water formation, one attacking and the other assisting, in an erratic manner, which greatly reduced the impact of the tiger and leopard cavalry as cavalry.
force.
Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Li Dian, who were all injured, saw that the Hunyuan Qi formation had retreated, and they hurriedly retreated towards Cao Cao's main formation. Gao Lan had already received Chen Deng's signal and asked him to return to the formation to defend. Gao Lan did not hesitate.
He took his troops and stood in front of Chen Deng.
Guo Jia, who saw this scene, glanced at Chen Deng with some admiration, and then said to Cao Cao: "My lord, every move we make is part of Chen Yuanlong's calculations, retreat! We still have a chance, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry
Training is not easy, so you shouldn’t lose too much here.”
Cao Cao was also a flexible person. He analyzed the situation and found that although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry now had the upper hand, the martial arts of the four generals were too high. Most of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who died in battle died in the hands of the four of them.
There was also a general with a spear stationed there at Chen Deng's place, so the previous strategy had lost its significance.
Cao Cao looked at the tall and majestic Xuzhou City and sighed gloomily in his heart: "When can I have you?" Cao Cao waved his big hand and said calmly: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!"
Hearing the sound of Cao's army shouting gold, Chen Deng also put down the big stone in his heart. Seeing Cao's army slowly retreating, Chen Deng waved his command flag and ordered: "Don't chase the poor invaders, withdraw your troops quickly!"
After cleaning up the battlefield, Tao Qian's army also lost nearly 10,000 soldiers in this battle. More than 5,000 of them were killed when Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry attacked. This shows how powerful the tiger and leopard cavalry are in combat.
How terrible! Twenty thousand soldiers of Cao’s army also died at the gate of Xuzhou City, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also left more than 500 corpses here.
Seeing the people celebrating in Xuzhou City, the tired generals all showed cheerful smiles. When they walked to the city gate, they saw Tao Qian who was ill and had been waiting there for a long time, so they all dismounted and paid homage. Tao Qian broke away from his servants.
He quickly walked up to Chen Deng with his hand and bowed to Chen Deng: "Mr. Yuanlong fought for me, the people of Xuzhou, against Cao Cao on the battlefield. I had nothing to repay, so I could only lead the people of Xuzhou to thank Mr. Yuanlong.
Please be humble and bow down."
Chen Deng hurriedly stepped forward to support Tao Qian and said hurriedly: "As a minister of the Han Dynasty, this is a matter of Deng's duty. What's more, my lord Zuo Bingzhou has good relations with Tao Shijun, so this move is even more inadequate.
Damn it, Tao Gong should spend more time to recuperate, Xuzhou still needs Tao Gong to govern."
Tao Qian shook his head and made up his mind. Tao Qian took Chen Deng's hand and said to the officials in Xuzhou: "Go to the meeting hall. I have something urgent to discuss." Everyone didn't know what was going on, and only a few people knew about it.
A hint of a smile appeared.
In the Xuzhou meeting hall, Tao Qian looked at the officials of Xuzhou with a serious face. He held the seal of Xuzhou Mu in both hands and came to Chen Deng. He said cautiously: "Qian is old and his two sons are not up to par, so they are no longer able to protect him."
In Xuzhou, the day before yesterday, Mr. Cao's army defeated Cao's army of 10,000 with 2,000 troops. Today, he defeated Cao's army with 20,000 troops. Qian is convinced that only Mr.'s talents and the name of Zuo Bingzhou can keep Xuzhou safe. Please do not refuse, sir.
Your Lord, leave Bingzhou to receive it."
Everyone was shocked, some agreed and some disagreed. Among the people who disagreed, Cao Bao and Zhang Jie shouted the loudest. Tao Ying beside Tao Qian said dissatisfied, "Dad, how can you
Are you going to give up your seat to an outsider?"
The pottery merchant also surprisingly echoed: "Yes, my second brother is right. This Xuzhou is my father's life-long effort!"
Tao Qian angrily scolded his second son: "Ignorant boy, what else can you two do besides being jealous?" Then he turned to Cao Bao and Zhang Lie and said: "And you, do you have the ability to defend me?
Wasn't Xuzhou massacred by Cao Cao? What else can you do besides begging for mercy from Cao Cao!?" At this time, Tao Qian exuded an invisible aura of majesty, overwhelming Tao Shang, Tao Ying, Cao Bao, Zhang Jie and others.
, dare not refute.
Chen Deng secretly praised: "Tao Qian has been able to sit in Xuzhou for many years, and he is by no means an idle person. If he hadn't been old, he might have had a place in these troubled times!" Both Tao Shang and Tao Ying looked at it resentfully.
Chen Deng glanced at each other and each of them lowered their heads and thought about their thoughts.
At this time, Chen Deng stepped forward and said: "Deng, on behalf of my lord, would like to thank Mr. Tao for his kindness. However, I would like to ask that Deng cannot agree to this matter on my lord's behalf. Deng came to Xuzhou this time just to visit his father. Unfortunately, he is in danger in Xuzhou.
The reason for saving Xuzhou is for the people of Xuzhou, and there is no second intention. If Deng agrees for my lord today, how will the world view my lord?"
