Seeing the miserable state of his four great Wolverines, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief but was also very angry.
However, in the middle of the night, there was nothing that could be done against the opponent. All we could do was wait for the decisive battle. He also thought about how low the morale of the army would be after being shouted at by those guys outside. Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt his brain hurt.
.
This is not like fear, fatigue and other negative emotions that can be eliminated by relying on counselors to use mental stimulation. This is a psychological problem and objective fact, and there is no solution at all.
Forget it, bear with it!
In the middle of the night, he still had to continue sleeping, and sent the others to lie on the bed. Cao Cao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It was really: the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it when he took a step back, the more he lost.
In fact, after Huang Zhong and others returned, Xi Zhicai also regretted a little. If he had known better, he would have asked Zhao Yun and Dian Wei to ambush them.
Huang Zhong and others were originally sent to escort the troops, and they could easily retreat with a small number of people. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun and others rushed out with so few people. If Dian Wei and Zhao Yun were there at that time, at least two of them would be able to stay!
If he could kill two of Cao Cao's masters who showed off their powerful energy, then Cao Cao would be so distressed that he would vomit blood.
The matter was over, and the next day, both sides sent troops to form a confrontation outside Jiqiu City.
Zhao Yunfang has 30,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry.
Cao Cao had an army of 90,000 men and only about 3,000 cavalry.
Didn't it say that Liu Bei's army camp only had 40,000 soldiers? Why did it actually turn out to be 30,000 soldiers? What about the civilians? Only 10,000 soldiers?
For some reason, Cao Cao suddenly felt unsure.
After the two sides formed their formation, they were six or seven hundred meters apart. From the high platform built, Cao Cao looked into the distance and saw a dozen cavalrymen running out from Liu Bei's side and approaching quickly.
Just as Cao Cao was wondering, he saw that the approaching cavalryman had no weapon in his hand, but was holding something in front of him. Inexplicably, Cao Cao felt a little panicked.
"Cao Jun across the way, listen, you only have one life, it's your own. You have to cherish it. If you get injured or your life is gone, then everything is over for you. There is no good end for working for Cao Cao. Even if you survive today, there is no guarantee.
I will not die on the battlefield tomorrow. I will die sooner or later. I will die sooner or later. I will have no military pay, no pension, my wife, children, and children..."
"I'm a bitch, I'm going to beat you up, I'm going to be a hot pot!" When he got angry, Cao Cao cursed in his native language, and his whole face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Cheng Yu didn't care about overstepping his authority and directly ordered: "Quick, send someone to shoot these guys to death!"
They hurriedly started to send messages and send people, but by the time the order was passed out and the sharpshooters were sent out to drive away the 90,000-strong formation, these guys had already been shouting for more than ten minutes, saying what should be said and what should not be said.
After everything was said, Cao Cao was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Despicable and shameless!
There was no need to fight if this continued. Seeing that the guys over there were still wandering far away, ready to come out and shout again at any time, Cao Cao couldn't care less and directly ordered, "Attack!"
In all his life, Cao Cao has never hated someone so much!
In any case, it was impossible to kill all 90,000 people at once. The front army was divided into three armies: left, center and right. The center army was 20,000 people, and the left and right armies were 20,000 people each. They pressed forward.
The two armies on the left and right, Xuzhou soldiers, the center army was Cao Cao's own family, moved forward slowly to the beat of drums.
Yes, it can only be described as slow. There is no way. It is a training problem. They walk too fast and they will be completely dispersed without going too far. Even at such a slow speed, the Chinese army is okay. The Xuzhou soldiers who have been losing battles for a long time have not gone out.
The formation tended to be scattered no matter how far away it was, which made Cao Cao grit his teeth. If it weren't for the many people from Xuzhou following him, he would have cursed!
It's not that he insists on using his own people in the Chinese army, but he is eager to use the Xuzhou soldiers to attack. However, he is really afraid that the Xuzhou soldiers will collapse at the first touch and end up hurting himself.
Looking at it now, it turns out to be so pulpy.
Seeing Cao Jun's army attack, Zhao Yun did not hesitate on his side. He also beat the drum and advanced, with 20,000 troops on the move, and 4,000 "miscellaneous horse followers" scattered behind, ready to expand the victory at any time, leaving 5,000 infantry as a backup.
The distance is getting closer and closer. This time, the four Xiahou Dun people are very honest. They have no intention of rushing out to kill them. They are not really stupid. Liu Bei will only have more masters than them, not less. They are honest.
In fact, it is true to be prepared to withstand the charge from the opposite side while being protected by a large army.
Seeing that they had reached about two hundred steps, a voice from the array on both sides shouted almost at the same time, "Shoot!"
Following an order, two dark cloud-like rains of arrows flew toward each other. The dense rain of arrows crisscrossed each other like a passing plague of locusts. In addition to the whistling sound caused by the arrow clusters cutting through the air, there was a constant crackling sound in the air.
, arrows kept colliding in the air and falling to the ground.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"
Screams kept ringing out from Cao Cao's army, but there were very few screams from Zhao Yun's side.
Yunqi's ability to weaken this kind of physical attack is really limited. The ordinary soldiers of Cao's army don't even have armor, but Liu Bei still uses armor-breaking three-edged heavy arrows. Even if he is shot on the body, he will not die on the spot, but he will eventually die due to blood loss.
Too much and death.
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime!
In a short period of time, Cao's army only fired one round of arrows, but Liu Bei's army had already fired two, causing a lot of damage to Cao's army, which was not very orderly. It also caused chaos in its formation. This made the returning bows and arrows
Hand shooting is now slower.
Less than two hundred meters away, both sides were advancing, but Liu Bei's army also missed a whole pot of arrows. Looking at Cao's army's formation, it looked like he had vitiligo.
Cao Cao, who was standing far away on the observation tower, couldn't help but punch the guardrail. His face was extremely ugly. The quality of the soldiers on both sides was very different.
Fortunately, Xiahou Dun and others were not vegetarians after all, and quickly ordered people to fill the gap. It could be clearly seen that the clouds had dissipated, which showed that morale had dropped again.
"You grandson!" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly opened wide and he cursed again. Just before the two sides were about to approach, Liu Bei's soldiers at the front suddenly made way for a passage.
The airtight heavy armored infantry rushed out. Cao Cao was very experienced. He could tell at a glance that there were at least three thousand people!
"Didn't you say there were only a thousand heavy armored infantry?"
"Damn, why are there so many!"
"Do you have money to burn?"
Not only Cao Cao, but other people on the viewing platform were also panicked. This is not a matter of tripling, but a difference in geometric multiples of combat power.
The leader, Dian Wei, was so excited that his whole body muscles were beating. He finally had a chance to kill. Last time in Licheng, the heavy cavalry rushed too fast. Now, he finally got the chance.
In excitement, Dian Wei ripped off the helmet on his head. With his strength, it would be useless if he didn't have the helmet. If Wang Xuan hadn't given orders repeatedly, he wouldn't even be willing to wear the armor!
"Fight with me!" He opened his mouth and roared out an air cannon, and Dianwei┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~ rushed forward.
