With the sound of the marching horn, Xiang Ji's 30,000-strong army was formally assembled.
Seeing Cao's army arrayed in front, Xiang Ji rushed out.
"Xiang Ji is here, who dares to fight?"
Yes, Xiang Ji plans to fight the generals first. At the very least, this will damage the morale of Cao's army.
As long as it can increase the winning rate of his troops, Xiang Ji will definitely do it.
As for the outcome of the duel? Xiang Ji never thought that he would be defeated.
But here comes the problem.
Xiang Ji knew that he would win the battle, so how could Cao Cao not know?
Although Cao Cao also understood that if the opponent invited a fight, his failure to respond would affect his morale.
But! If you send generals to fight, it will not only affect morale.
It's an obvious multiple-choice question. As a smart man, Cao Cao naturally knew how to choose.
"Xiang Ji, now that the Han Dynasty is in turmoil, you are arrogant and establish a country privately, which is a serious crime of rebellion.
Now that I have an army of 100,000 in front of me, my dear Xiang Ji, why don’t you surrender quickly?"
Although Boss Cao himself blushed a little after saying this.
After all, the imperial court is gone, but what needs to be said still needs to be said.
At the very least, didn’t you see that the big-headed soldiers under your command started to get excited after hearing this?
Yes, that's right, we are on the side of justice and we are fighting against bandits.
Relying on the art of language, Cao Cao was able to eliminate the negative impact of Xiang Ji's invitation to fight.
"In that case, let's fight!"
You can't say it for sure. Xiang Ji knows this, after all, people live by their words.
Anyway, there will be a battle sooner or later. Since the invitation to fight failed, then we should be more direct.
With a wave of the Overlord's Halberd in his hand, Xiang Ji took the lead and charged towards Cao Cao's military formation.
Woo~~~
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following Xiang Ji's actions, the horn of charge sounded from the Chu army formation behind.
Immediately, the dull sound of war drums also began to sound.
Cao Cao was surprised when Xiang Ji ordered a general offensive without saying a word.
Doesn’t this reckless man even know that there is such a thing as a quarrel?
Can you give me some time to prepare?
Because of Chu's sudden attack, Cao Cao lost the initiative.
"Send the order! The whole army forms a formation to meet the enemy!"
Since your Chu army has taken advantage of the offensive, I will block your offensive.
Then, hum, if I recruit 100,000 people and beat you to 30,000 or 40,000 people, will I still be afraid of you?
Following Cao Cao's order, the weapons of Cao's soldiers also glowed with cold light.
At first, a row of Cao soldiers holding large shields lined up in front of the formation. Behind them, a spear with a cold light would stick out from the gap between each large shield.
This is the shield formation that Cao Cao prepared to deal with Xiang Ji's Canglong Cavalry.
In yesterday's battle, Cao Cao's family cavalry was basically beaten to the point of being unable to form an organic whole, so in order to limit the impact of the Canglong Cavalry on the formation, Cao Cao thought hard about this ultimate move.
Hum hum, don't you rely on the speed of your war horse and the impact of the spear in your hand to pierce my military formation?
Then I'll put this turtle shell on the table and see if you can stab it.
I'm afraid that before your spears even hit the shield array, your horses will be pierced by our spears, right?
But to Cao Cao's disappointment, the one who arrived first was not the Canglong Cavalry, but Xiang Ji, who was riding a horse alone.
Xiang Ji, who was the first to rush into the formation, discovered Cao Jun's shield formation and also understood the function of the shield formation at a glance.
But Xiang Ji didn't have any worries.
Is this Cao Cao taking it too much for granted? Since I dare to call my cavalry Canglong, do you think my cavalry can only charge into battle?
Xiang Ji waved his hand as a shot of arrows and rode around the shield formation.
After all, if this bastard rushed up alone, it was just to make him feel uncomfortable.
Xiang Ji's purpose is to wander temporarily, looking for an opportunity to kill with one strike.
I don't want to kill Cao Cao. After all, there are too many fierce people around him, so the chance of killing him is not high.
However, as long as they can rush into the Chinese army and cut off the large banner, the morale of Cao's army will inevitably drop sharply.
This is Xiang Ji's chance to win this battle.
After a while, the charging Chu army arrived in front of Cao's army.
Zhao Yun, who was leading the charge, also saw Cao Jun's shield formation. Without thinking about it, he raised his gentian gun high and gave instructions to the Canglongqi behind him.
After several shouts, the charging Canglongqi began to change formations. The Canglongqi who were facing the charge instantly dispersed.
Hanging the spear in his hand on the horse, he turned around and took out the long bow, and began to continuously move and fire at Cao Jun who was waiting for him.
This is exactly Gongsun Zan's capital in the north, and Baima Yicong's tactics.
Zhao Yun, who was born in Baima Yicong, will naturally conduct riding and shooting training on his Canglong Cavalry.
But in this way, Cao Jun suffered a lot.
Originally, he was preparing to meet the cavalry charge, but now he had to form his own formation and let the opponent practice their archery skills.
Although the effective lethality of the projectile is not great, the impact on morale is great.
Especially whenever the wailing sound of an unlucky guy being hit by an arrow is heard, the morale of Cao's army will drop significantly.
Seeing the mirror image in front of him, Cao Cao's face almost turned green.
"attack!"
The clever Cao Cao suffered a heavy blow and stopped talking nonsense. Let's attack. Anyway, I have more people than you.
Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of the two armies, noticed Cao Cao's change of formation. He immediately raised his gentian gun and gave instructions to the Canglongqi behind him again.
Upon seeing the instructions, the Canglongqi who were still in a scattering posture put away their long bows, slapped their horses on their hips and began to turn around.
Just when Cao Jun thought that the situation was bad and the Cang Longqi were about to retreat, the Cang Longqi who turned to run took out their longbows again and shot arrows at the pursuing Cao Jun behind them.
This is naturally the benefit of being a time traveler.
The guerrilla warfare methods of the Mongolian cavalry.
Although the training time is still short, the Canglong Riders are not very accustomed to the skill of reflexive archery in this running state, but even if a thousand feather arrows hit an enemy, isn't it all in vain?
What's more, this further damaged the morale of Cao's army.
What kind of ghost cavalry is this? If you line up, he will scatter you, if you pursue him, he will flee.
It doesn't matter if you run away, why do you want to turn around and shoot you while running away?
Even though Cao Cao was well-informed, his eyes glazed over after seeing the Cang Longqi's tactics.
"Lord, don't pay attention to the cavalry. After all, their number is not large and they cannot affect the overall situation in a short time!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was still struggling with the Chu army's Cang Longqi, Guo Jia beside him quickly reminded him.
If you are struggling with this ghost cavalry, I am afraid that this battle will not be fought, and others will kite you to death.
After being reminded by Guo Jia, Cao Cao regained his sanity.
"Send the order! Ignore the Chu cavalry and line up the entire army!"
Target Chu army infantry phalanx, charge!"
After all, as a military master, Cao Cao could still make a decisive decision.
As long as your infantry is destroyed, what can you do with your thousands of cavalry?
