At the critical moment, Zhang Xiujun flashed a general on the flank and led the five hundred cavalry of the headquarters to meet the tiger and leopard cavalry.

That general Zhang Xiu had never seen it, but at this moment, Zhang Xiu decided in his heart: after this battle, he must write down the great merit of blocking the enemy army to this general!

But the development of the situation completely exceeded Zhang Xiu's expectations: the man will wield a big knife and scream to kill Cao Chun. But he didn't even touch Cao Chun's hair, and he was picked away by Cao Chun, who had been silent.

As for the 500 cavalry under his command, they were only one of the 500 tigers and leopards, and they were scattered by the charge.

The speed of the five hundred tigers and leopards was not hindered in the slightest, and the wedge-shaped formation of the column was not confused at all. Even because of the incompetent performance of the group of Zhang Xiujun cavalry in front of him, he burst out with a sharp spirit.

Cao Chun took the lead, silent, and guided the tiger and leopard behind him like a sharp knife, and directly inserted into Zhang Xiujun's military formation.

At this time, Zhang Xiujun's central army lacked the command of a general, and it was difficult for the generals of all departments to unify the general orders. Coupled with the violent rise of Xu Chu waking up in the formation, there was chaos within the Chinese army formation, and at the critical moment, there was only one general commanding his subordinates to hundreds of foot soldiers to form a battle formation against the tiger and leopard.

And the so-called elites, such as the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Wuwei Battalion of the Flying Bear Army, are not there, and the deputy generals do not dare to act without authorization.

The general's performance was commendable, but it was useless after all. These 500 tiger and leopard riders are the most elite people selected from thousands of tiger and leopard riders, and they are not at all something that a mere 100 foot soldiers can stop.

It was also just a photo, and the infantry battle formation was rushed to pieces, and Cao Chun's war horse stepped directly on the chest of the general.

The last thing Zhang Xiu wanted to see finally happened, Cao Chun's subordinates helped Xu Chu capture a war horse, which was the mount that Cao Chun had just provoked to fly.

Xu Chu's face was covered with blood and dirt, his cloak was scattered, and his armor was scattered. Riding a war horse, he will kill Zhang Xiu. Anyway, Cao Chun shouted something to him, Xu Chu just glared at Zhang Xiu fiercely with tiger eyes, then turned his head angrily, and killed Zhang Xiu's army with Cao Chun.

After killing a few times, Xu Chu felt that it was not enjoyable. simply tore off his armor and underwear alive, and fought bare-chested. Every time, he snatched the spear stabbed by several Zhang Xiu soldiers with his bare hands, and then swept back vigorously, breaking the wooden pole of the spear before stopping.

Grab the gun, sweep, throw the broken gun, continue to grab the gun, sweep, throw...... In a few breaths, there were no less than dozens of soldiers Zhang Xiu who died under Xu Chu.

Zhang Xiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with such a fierce pioneer, Cao Chun could cross his own military formation. immediately shook a shot at Yu Banxu, and shouted to the generals around him: "Withdraw!" ”

The generals also knew that the situation was critical, because Cao's army had already sounded the war drums of the attack. Thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry had already lined up from Cao's army and set up a sortie formation.

At the moment, Gao Shun took Song Xian, Wei Xuhou, and became the third general, and the other generals rushed back to their own camp to command the soldiers and horses.

Li Feng also cooperated with Zhang Xiu, and fired a few shots at the forbidden void, covering the main father-in-law Zhang Xiu's first retreat.

Zhang Xiu was the first to turn around and retreat, but at the moment when Li Feng forced Yu Ban to retreat and turned the horse's head, Zhang Xiu suddenly turned his head and threw a shot at Yu Ban's war horse behind him.

Yu Ban himself is a cautious person, and when he saw Zhang Xiu's side retreating, he did not chase and fight fiercely, and even beware of Zhang Xiu's return pistol.

It's just that this time he was unlucky, Zhang Xiu was so exhausted that he didn't even want a gun and suddenly turned back, which was indeed beyond the forbidden prevention ability.

Of course, if Zhang Xiu's target is Yu Ban himself, Yu Ban can still be evaded. But at the cost of throwing his own spear, Zhang Xiu actually just threw it at the war horse! Even if Yu Ban has great ability, the war horse under the crotch is not the Red Rabbit Shadow Horse, and it can be one with the rider and the horse, and cooperate with the reaction to avoid this blow.

Therefore, classmate Yu Ban was unlucky. Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun was in the middle of the forbidden war horse's chest, and the spear head made of stainless steel and the weight of the tiger head pierced the front armor of the horse, directly killing this innocent war horse.

And Yu Ban's classmate was ruthlessly smashed by the war horse that rolled on his side, and his eyes were full of stars.

Brought down Yu Ban, but Zhang Xiu didn't dare to delay any longer, and ordered Li Feng, who was stunned beside him: "Capture Yu Ban back to this formation!" I don't want my gun. ”

The tiger and leopard cavalry behind him had already begun to charge under Cao Cao's personal orders, followed by a large number of ordinary heavy cavalry, followed by light armored foot soldiers, and finally slow heavy infantry in slow action.

Li Feng received the order and hurried back to arrest Yu Ban, and met Hu Che'er and Zhou Cang, who were being chased by Dian Wei. Hu Che'er also cooperated with Zhou Cang tacitly, Zhou Cang turned around and threw the war knife in his hand to Dian Wei, Hu Che'er took the opportunity to pick up Yu Ban and throw it behind Li Fengma, but it was too late to pick up Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun.

Zhang Xiu said that he didn't need to pick up the gun, and Hu Che'er didn't have time to pick up the gun, but Li Feng had Zhang Xiu's inspiration, and immediately bent over and used his spear to pick up Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun, and at the same time threw his spear to Dian Wei, who was chasing wildly.

A series of actions were done smoothly, and Cao Cao and his little friends, who saw it in the distance, were stunned.

After a long time, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia, the military advisor beside him: "This young general has a great future!" ”

But after Zhang Liao returned to the horse, he immediately roared: "And the state wolf rides!" ”

Zhang Xiu's army immediately had hundreds of strange cavalry in the rear of the Chinese army under the command of two generals to meet Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and the lieutenants and officers of the Chinese army also hurriedly ordered to get out of the way, so that it was convenient for the wolf cavalry to attack.

In an instant, a duel of top cavalry began. On one side is the fierce and belligerent wolf rider who has survived a hundred battles, and on the other side is the tiger and leopard rider who can fight one out of a hundred, and it seems like a fierce spark collision at the beginning.

The two strong generals of the wolf rider in Bingzhou are not easy to fight with them, one catches Cao Chun to fight, and the other is embarrassed, but because Xu Chu does not have a suitable weapon, he also entangles Xu Chu for a while.

But it was only two or three rounds, and he was swept aside by Xu Chu. However, this little time is enough for Zhang Liao to kill back to the Chinese army to block Xu Chu, a tiger.

Back in the Chinese army, Zhang Xiu immediately began to dispatch soldiers and horses. Trapping the camp and the Qianghu infantry all went to the top, and strangled hundreds of tigers and leopards of Cao Chun's troops who had rushed into the Chinese army as soon as possible.

The front army resumed its battle formation, and the pikemen formed a formation to block the enemy. However, because of Cao Chun's rush, Zhang Xiu's army was slightly confused, and Zhang Xiu was not allowed to transfer the bear army to be a reserve behind the pikemen.

Cao Cao was already regretting it at the moment, why didn't he seize the opportunity just now and send all the tiger and leopard cavalry to raid Zhang Xiu's army?

If that's the case, it is estimated that Zhang Xiujun has been torn in half at this time, and then the army will come together, and it will be a big victory!

It's a pity that there is no if, now there is only to cherish the chaos created by Cao Chun and seize Zhang Xiujun's gap and weakness.

As Zhang Xiu expected, the improvised spear array alone could not stop the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and it was the hedgehog formation composed of the flying bear army with iron shields and heavy armor in their hands to break up the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Cao Chun did not personally lead it. However, the smaller number of Flying Bears only blocked the central tiger and leopard cavalry, which had the strongest assault force, and some of the tiger and leopard cavalry still broke through the defense line of Zhang Xiu's army and entered the army formation to disrupt it.

With the Tiger and Par Cavalry as the vanguard, the charging power of the ordinary heavy armored cavalry behind is not much less than that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Suddenly, Zhang Xiujun's front was chaotic to varying degrees.

Cao Cao in the distance watched the flying bear army in fine armor form a circle formation, inserting the strange V-shaped shields into the ground or connecting them, and stretched out the Changge in his hand from various gaps at different angles, forming a hedgehog array that water could not be poured into and arrows could not be shot.

And the dozens of tigers and leopards who rushed up at full speed side by side could not rush into the circle in the slightest, and even the slightest next to each other would be the end of the horses and the death. I couldn't help but stroke my beard and sighed: "When I was in Luoyang a few years ago, I saw the three thousand flying bear army under Dong Zhuo, and I sighed at that time that this was the first soldier in the world. The power of the upper horse is greater than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the dismounted horse can fight the most elite Royal Forest Tiger Warriors. Although there are only a few hundred people left today, they can fight thousands of my tigers and leopards alone! ”

Xun Yu next to him chuckled: "Today, Zhang Xiu took out all his family resources, even though he killed and injured thousands of elite cavalry of Ming Gong, but the toothless tiger is a tiger that makes people feel at ease, and they will not accidentally jump out and bite people." ”

……

Seeing that the defensive formation was destroyed by the Cao army, Zhang Xiu also made a decision immediately, and the whole army pressed up to fight.

So the two torrents were mixed together with yellow dust.

……

The battle began early in the morning and ended at the head of the sunrise. The two armies suffered casualties among each other, with Zhang Xiu's 100,000-strong army losing more than 10,000 and suffering no less than 20,000 minor and serious casualties. It is estimated that the casualties of the 100,000 Cao troops who participated in the war were also about 20,000 to 30,000.

But the important thing is that half of the casualties of the Cao army were killed and wounded by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that later joined the battlefield, plus the elite troops of Zhang Xiujun, such as the Flying Bear Army, the Qiang Hu Infantry and the Zhou Wolf Cavalry. Most of the casualties caused by Cao Jun were the result of ordinary soldiers.

This is a very direct reflection of the quality of the ordinary soldiers of Zhang and Cao's armies and the combat effectiveness of the elite arms. If it is elite to elite, Zhang Xiu has a chance of winning by six or seven points. Because of his own cheapness, his uncle Zhang Ji has recuperated and collected too many remnants of the elite in those years.

Speaking of the Yongliang Army, Zhang Ji originally only had the command of three hundred Flying Bear Army, one or two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry and less than 10,000 Xiliang Army, and he was the weakest of Dong Zhuo's four generals.

And the other big heads and strong generals are all controlled by Li Wei, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Niu Fu and other big names. Later, Niu Fu, who was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law but did not want to avenge Dong Zhuo, was killed, and his subordinates were divided between Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji. Later, Fan Chou was killed, and Li Dao and Guo Yan handed over Fan Chou's forces to Zhang Ji in order not to incur criticism and trouble. Zhang Ji's strength can reach 30,000 or 40,000.

In the end, Li Dao and Guo Yan went to war, while Zhang Ji avoided the trouble, and at the same time recruited the deserters of the two families to disperse the army for his own use. When the Li and Guo families were more than halfway consumed, Zhang Ji came to lead the army to persuade peace. Only then did Li Guo and his family find out that Zhang Ji's strength had surpassed either of them, and finally they joined forces to force Zhang Ji away, which led to the fact that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu went away to Nanyang.

Therefore, the Yongliang Army, especially its Xiliang soldiers, as well as the elite Qianghu tribes, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Flying Bear Army, are all very strong in combat. Each of them is a veteran who is older than Cao Jun and has experienced more wars, and he is still not afraid of the same amount of competition.

For example, in this field battle, in order to achieve the effect of winning and boosting morale, Zhang Xiu sent 100,000 troops to fight, 60,000 were the original Yongliang descendants, and the other 40,000 were also the elites of Yuan Shu's subordinates in the past. This can be on par with the same number of Cao Jun.

However, the key problem is that most of the current Zhang Xiujun is still composed of Yuan Shu's surrendered army, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven. There are also some well-trained and experienced many wars. But more, it is still a patchwork of miscellaneous soldiers, and they have not gone through much training, let alone whether they have fought like the Cao army.

If today's battle is replaced by Zhang Xiujun's other 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is estimated that the battle ratio should be even more than one to three!

A real war cannot be won by relying on a few elite or a few hundred thousand fierce generals, especially in ancient cold weapon wars, and the victory or defeat of the war depends on the average quality of ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level, who account for an absolute proportion.

And today's battle can be regarded as a lesson in blood to tell Zhang Xiu this truth.

And in the previous battle against Yuan Shu, it can only be said that Yuan Shu is too unbearable. There are too many backbones in the back of the team, coupled with Zhang Xiu's foresight, Jia Xu's proper planning, and the help of Liu Guan, Zhang Jiadanyang, and some luck and opportunities, it was only successful, and it was not a real war at all.
