Cao Chun's tiger and leopard battalion rushed into the Tao army's tent at lightning speed along the gaps in the densely packed tents in the Tao army, like a whirlwind blowing on the flat ground.

The tiger and leopard rode all the elites, and they moved quickly, without dragging their feet, and in an instant, they had gone deeper.

However, the crossbow battalion of the Tao army had already been ambushed in the depths of the camp, and when the soldiers of the tiger and leopard battalion rushed in, they had to let them see how powerful they were.

The place where the potter's camp is located, only the west is the most thorough plain, and the terrain is extremely flat.

Therefore, after planning for the pottery merchant and Guo Jia, they thought that if Cao's army would send a tiger and leopard battalion to raid this night attack, it would definitely be from the west—so he asked Gan Ning to lead the crossbow battalion to wait in the west.

The tiger and leopard battalion's brave and good fighting, the potter still remembered it last time, and if he wanted to defeat the tiger and leopard battalion, he could only rely on the Jinling repeater that had just been completed on a large scale.

Since the Jinling repeater crossbow was made by Zhuge Liang's hand, after many improvements, it was finally developed into a genuine product, and was put into the production of equipment in Jinling City on a large scale.

Zhuge Liang's 1,000 repeaters in Wu County were only a small part of what Jinling City produced.

The real large-scale configuration is in the main camp of the potters, and the main force of the crossbow battalion is also in the main formation of the Chinese army.

The crossbow battalion may not be able to deal with other soldiers and horses, but if it wants to deal with all the strong horses in the world, it must be twice the result with half the effort.

All things are born and mutually restricted, this is an eternal common sense.

The so-called south ship and north horse, even if the potter has Yu Erbi and Liu Hu to buy horses and raise horses for himself, but compared with the princes in the north, it is still a little bit worse, if you want to compare the number of war horses with the princes of the north, the potter will always be passive, and he can't afford to straighten his waist.

In terms of power, the potters occupied Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and occupied the southeast, and their territory was so vast that they were the first among the princes.

When it comes to financial resources, the output of Jinling iron ore and Huai'an salt mine is comparable to the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, and the wealth of Jinling is known to the world.

As far as grain and grass are concerned, the entire southeast is now popularizing Jiangdong plows, keel waterwheels and other irrigated things, farmland has doubled in six years, grafted rice has been harvested two to three times a year, and grain and grass are abundant.

When it comes to population, in the past few years, the war in the north and the chaos in Huainan have caused many people from other places to admire the endowment of the southeast and the prosperity of Jinling, and they have moved to the southeast to live in peace, which can be described as a land of abundance and happiness.

When it comes to the number of soldiers, the Jinling Army plus the Xuzhou Army, and now there are the Yellow Turban Army and Zhang Xun's Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others who are about to surrender, and there are 200,000 soldiers under the command of Tao Shang.

There are even more military generals.

Of course, there are also fish and pearls, and there are also small waste firewood such as Mi Fang and Tao Ying under the command of the pottery merchants.

At present, the power of the Dow clan is in full swing, and the difference is only more infantry, which cannot compete with the large-scale horse army troops in the north.

Without troops that could compete with the war horses of the Northland, the potters did not dare to easily go north or west.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

But now, as soon as the Jinling crossbow came out, the potters finally had the strength to restrain the horse army!

This shareholder style has undergone another way of changing, and after all, it is still tightly grasped by the potter.

Today, the main force of the Jinling Company Crossbow Battalion led by Gan Ning will first conduct a trial-style training battle against the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rider was heading towards the inner camp between the conflicts, and a huge disaster suddenly struck without warning.

Countless arrows and crossbows, under the command of Gan Ning, shot towards Cao Jun like machine-gun bullets.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion who rushed to the front row fell in a pool of blood one after another.

The horses roared, the soldiers shouted and howled, and the terrible screams were particularly terrifying in the camp.

According to the experience of the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, after this wave of arrows and crossbows passed, there should be a time lag between the other party pulling the bow and the line, or rewinding, but for some reason, this wave of crossbowmen in Jinling City did not.

The rain of arrows from the Jinling army's crossbow arrows continued to shoot, as if it was endless, and the shooting was endless.

The vanguard of the Tiger and Leopard Riders was in such a long-lasting crossbow formation, and their lives were devoured by the endless roar of arrows.

The duration of the crossbow is too long, and you can't get close!

And the casualties caused by the continuous time lock are just too great!

Cao Chun is a master of military training, and he is also a master of commanding troops, although he doesn't know why the arrows and crossbows in Jinling City are so powerful, as if they can't shoot endlessly, but he knows that the current situation makes him unable to rush in anymore!

The lethality of this crossbow array is too great for cavalry!

Every soldier in the Haw Par Battalion is the elite of the elite he has carefully trained, and every time someone dies, Cao Chun's heart will be cramped to the point of crying.

Cao Chun almost didn't die of pain today.

In this case, in order to ensure that the Haw Par Battalion would not suffer huge losses again, Cao Chun could only order the Haw Par Battalion to retreat outside the tent as soon as possible!

Cao Chun played a key role in the position of the cavalry from the west for the five-way raid on the Tao camp, and their task was to directly rush into the most central interior of the Tao camp, disrupt all the enemy's command and deployment, and then attack from the inside to the outside to give a response to the attack of their colleagues in other directions, so that after a circle, the entire pottery merchant was basically abolished.

However, the sudden retreat of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion has completely aborted this strategic deployment, and the pressure on the other Cao troops will be unprecedentedly increased.

Cao Ren was guarding outside the tent, and suddenly received this military report from the scout, and his heart was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the Haw Par Battalion was defeated so quickly?

This was unheard of in the first place.

Cao Ren knew the combat strength of the tiger and leopard battalion best, and now that they had retreated in such a short period of time, it showed that the potters must have made careful preparations in advance.

It seems that he was right not to rush in beforehand.

Now, it is necessary to rush in and quickly meet the troops and horses, so that they do not get caught in the middle of it and cannot withdraw.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren immediately took action!

He turned his head to Zhang Ji and Liang Xi and instructed: "The two of you will lead a group of soldiers and horses to blempty outside the camp, so that they can be answered at any time, and I will go in to meet the soldiers and horses from all walks of life!" ”

"No!"

After Cao Ren finished giving the order, he commanded his generals to rush along the burned fence with himself towards the Tao army's barracks.

Cao Ren clashed with the Tao army camp while ordering his cavalry, infantry, and crossbow soldiers to disperse, and then march into dozens of phalanxes at the same time, so that the maximum attack speed can be achieved in the Tao army village with many tents, because the large phalanx is easily obstructed by obstacles in the camp, and the second is not to let the soldiers and horses under his command scatter, and they do their own thing, although the small phalanx is difficult to manage, as long as the order is appropriate, it can still achieve effective command and transfer effect.

Cao Ren is still very confident in his ability to command soldiers and horses.

As soon as Cao Ren entered the camp, he commanded the soldiers to fight while running to the right, and when he was young, he met Xiahou Yuan who was fighting with Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was old-minded, and when he saw Cao Ren's troop arrangement, he knew that this person was by no means easy to deal with, but a master of using soldiers.

The potter had already given a strict order to himself, only to retreat from the enemy, no need to defeat the enemy, seeing that this Cao Ren was a strong enemy, Xu Huang thought that there was no need to fight with him to the death, but the loss of too many men and horses outweighed the loss, so he let Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan go.

Tao Ji, who played against Xiahoudun, although he had courage and courage, was still a cut behind Cao Ren and other first-class generals, so when Cao Ren came to meet Xiahoudun, he did not dare to fight.

Only when he was responding to Cao Hong, he was entangled by Zhou Tai's fate, and Gan Ning's crossbow battalion also rushed over to support.

The two of them were born as water thieves, and they are not afraid of the sky, no matter what kind of bullshit you are!

Cao Ren had no choice but to change his routine and fight bloodily, and only after leaving behind the lives of many soldiers under his command did he take Cao Hong out of the encirclement.

And after this battle, Cao Ren also realized the power of Gan Ning's crossbow battalion, and he was both shocked and afraid.

If it weren't for the fact that Jinling's crossbow battalion had fought with Cao Chun's soldiers and horses once, and had spent a lot of arrows, Cao Ren also felt that his soldiers would be very likely to be in danger.

Several lines of soldiers and horses retreated separately, and Cao Ren personally broke off and led his troops to block the pursuit of the Jinling soldiers.

Although there were strict orders from the pottery merchants, the generals of the Jinling Army did not dare to pursue too deeply, but in the face of the repeated bombardment of Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and others, Cao Ren could still hold on, and his ability was indeed admirable.

Just after the five generals of the clan withdrew from the Tao camp under the governor of Cao Ren, the scout came to report that Xu Rong, the great commander of the Tao army who had not appeared, led his troops to raid the troops of Zhang Ji and Liang Xi, who had left them outside the tent, and the two were in deep danger and sent someone to Cao Ren for help.

Although Cao Ren was expressionless when he heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart.

The surname Tao is really good, one hand after another, it seems that tonight's game is matched, he doesn't exhaust himself to death, but it's not over.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren immediately ordered his soldiers to follow him to rescue Liang Xi and Zhang Ji against Xu Rong.
