Yanzhou, Chenliu, southwest of Fugou.

Since Cao Cao now had 100,000 elite soldiers stationed in Yingchuan, it was impossible for the men and horses of the Southeast Hall to pass through, so they chose a risky path - to divide their troops and sneak through Chen Liuguo.

This time, their commander is the most bizarre night marshal under the old six sages - Chang Ao.

In the eyes of others, everything about this person is indeed too weird. The first is appearance, as a night handsome, it stands to reason that he should be excellent in martial arts, or outstanding in strategy, but Chang Ao is far from these two points.

His physique can be described as skinny. There were once subordinates who inadvertently saw Chang Ao changing clothes, and the rows of ribs were like starvation everywhere, making people worry about whether he would break his bones as soon as he made a big move.

But he is such a thin man, but his strength is greater, and the sledgehammer he used alone weighs eighty pounds.

The most puzzling thing is that such a person is called "Pi Shuai". People really can't imagine that he has any connection with Pixiu, but only his night marshal and his relatives and disciples understand that this word does not refer to him, but to his sledgehammer.

At the beginning of the construction of this heavy weapon, it was only more than 60 catties. It was he who forged a part of the enemy's blade to it every time he killed him, and over time, he reached this exaggerated weight today.

The blades covered in iron and blood record his arduous path to becoming a night commander.

is such a strange man, and now with more than 20 sub-generals and more than 10 relatives and disciples of the Southeast General Hall, he has sent the war to the north.

"Shang'er, Xu'er." Chang Ao called in a tired voice.

"In!"

"In!"

The two apprentices immediately responded. It's like a joke from God, and the two relatives and apprentices who are proud are too plump.

"Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Master Hui, there is nothing unusual. Thinking that Cao Cao's main force is all in Yingchuan at the moment, Chen Liu shouldn't be too precautionary. "The apprentice who spoke, his name is Jin Xu.

"Master Hui, it's too abnormal. We have entered the boundary of Yanzhou, but we have not seen a single soldier of Cao Cao. Another apprentice, Chu Shang, had a diametrically opposite view.

Jin Xu glared at him fiercely, because in private, his relationship with Chu Shang was not good.

"Xu'er, Shang Er is right, it's too abnormal." Chang Ao naturally knew that they didn't like each other, but he was not in the mood to care about these at this time.

"Tell Lin Che to rest in place and let him lead a hundred people to investigate around, and if he finds an enemy army, he can't fight, and he can return to report it."

Of course, Chang Ao also knows how to block everyone's criticism as the head coach, so basically every time something happens, he lets his subordinates go out.

In fact, his reputation in the Southeast Hall is not low, even if he really lets other Yeshuai's subordinates go separately, others will not say anything.

After the sub-commander called Lin Che gave the order, he led more than 100 horsemen and began to patrol the surrounding distance.

Chang Ao ordered another subordinate, Trixin, to be on guard, while all the other sub-divisions gathered.

"Pi Shuai, do you really have to be in such a hurry? There are hardly any troops left in the Northern Church. Liang Ji, the commander of Zhou Tai's subordinates, was the first to question.

"I know you're wondering why we're doing so fast. That being said, I might as well tell you. The Hebei scout reported that Yuliu had for some reason suddenly withdrawn his men from Hebei in a big way. If we wait for the elites of her to return to the Northern Headquarters, then it will be difficult for us to attack them, and it will be difficult to ascend to the sky. ”

Just as Huang Zhong and Hu Yi were famous for their bows, Yuliu's weapon of fame was her team of 2,000 "Orions".

These people don't know anything about martial arts, but if you want to fight them, you must first be prepared to die. What they are good at is all kinds of traps.

A large number of them are real hunters. Originally, they just wanted to hunt quietly and live an ordinary life. But who would have thought that the decaying Han Dynasty would not even be able to meet their requirements.

A group of ruffian-like soldiers burned the place where they lived. And Yuliu has been under their command since then.

Chang Ao had no doubt that a dense set of traps had been laid around the Northern Headquarters, but if they waited for their group to return, the number of traps would inevitably increase exponentially.

In response to this problem, Chang Ao and the subordinates began to discuss carefully. In the end, they came to an agreement - in order to avoid long nights, six commanders and four apprentices led the cavalry first, and the large army followed.

Among the 80,000 horses he brought this time, including the elites under the night marshal, among the 10,000 cavalry alone, there were three kinds of assault, cavalry shooting, and fire oil. And among the infantry, there are all kinds of rare men and horses, even if they are lagging behind, they can arrive soon after the war starts.

After the discussion, Chang Ao ordered everyone to prepare to go. At this time, he found out that Lin Che, who had gone out to patrol before, had not returned.

Years of instinct for leading the army immediately made him aware of the danger, and there was no time to give orders one by one, so he had to order his subordinates Tong and Ma He to lead 5,000 men to search along the direction of the forest path that Lin Che had left, and at the same time beware of the appearance of an enemy.

A moment after the two left, screams rang out in the woods.

Chang Ao's brow immediately furrowed, for only his magnified senses could perceive the sound of the horse's hooves in addition to the screams.

Enemy cavalry!

"You Tao, you take three thousand crossbowmen and two thousand fire oil soldiers to reinforce you. Be careful, if you guess correctly, they should have encountered a tiger and a leopard. ”

"How so!" The sub-commander named You Tao opened his mouth wide in shock.

The tiger and leopard ride should have gone to Yingchuan with Cao Cao, why did he appear here! It must have been Chang Ao's misjudgment.

With doubts, You Tao led his subordinates to the place where the screams sounded.

After passing through the woods that blocked his view, You Tao was shocked by the sight of the grass outside.

neat black iron armor, grim faces with contempt, and spears dripping with blood...... If the cavalry in front of him was not trapped, it could only be a tiger and leopard horseman.

"Whose men are you?" You Tao's heart was suddenly filled with anger as he watched the dying companions on the ground crawling over the corpses of his companions, trying to survive.

"I don't know who your Excellency is...... Forget it, I don't want to know either. Rong Xiaosheng introduced you to this, this is the leader of the tiger and leopard riding - Cao Chun. ”

A young man with a bright smile on his face and a wide open shirt drove his horse out of the battle with a wine jug, and raised his hand to signal You Tao to look at a general with an indifferent look in his eyes.

What a tiger and leopard ride! But why are they here?

"Your Excellency must be wondering why we are not here in Yingchuan, right?" The man who looked at him and made people want to beat him saw You Tao's question.

You Tao gritted his teeth in anger and did not respond.

"The reason is very simple - if a wild dog breaks into your yard, no matter how busy the owner is, he has to rush back to drive it away, right?"

"Who the are you!" You Tao finally reached the limit.

"Me? Hehe, I'm just a nameless official under the account of the lord General Cao. Since you have been asked by Your Excellency, I will inform you, under - Guo Jia. ”

Who is this? Why haven't I heard anyone mention it before?

"It's said that I'm just a nameless official, and I am naturally nameless." Guo Jia didn't care.

But You Tao got to know him again in his heart. Although it looks very bad, I have to admit that it seems that the other party has seen through everything I think.

"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry. If you can let the whole army of tigers and leopards ride to fight, you will not be in vain. ”

This bastard has seen through it again! You Tao swallowed back the order to retreat.

"Zihe General, the commander of the other party doesn't want to retreat anymore, but if it continues like this, I'm afraid that their brigade will come soon."

Is there something he can't see through? You Tao thought hatefully.

Yes, since the enemy knew that he was going to retreat just now, leaving his back to the other party was a dead end. So You Tao decided to use words to stabilize the tiger and leopard rider, and waited for Chang Ao to find out that it was wrong to lead a large army to respond.

But in front of this Guo Jia, how did You Tao feel like a child, all the little abacus was peeped at by him.

Of course, there is only so much he can think about. Because the tiger and leopard riders on the opposite side have already begun to adjust their charging formation in small steps.

You Tao had no choice but to use gestures to signal his subordinates to prepare for battle. After all, they had been practicing the cooperation between the various arms for a long time, so Chang Ao asked him to bring a combination that could form a rocket arrow to deal with the cavalry.

These elite soldiers immediately displayed qualities that were completely different from those of the average Nightfang.

The archers were divided into teams of three thousand. The first team was half-kneeling, but did not take the arrow, the second team stood behind them and waited, again without taking the arrow, and the third team handed two of their arrows to the fire oil soldiers behind.

The oil soldiers were also divided into two teams of 1,000 people. One took the arrows handed by the archers and attached a smaller water bladder to one of them, which of course contained fire oil; The other team collectively began to light a fire, and at the same time dipped another arrow in fire oil and lit it.

At this time, the Haw Par rider had gradually raised its speed. And You Tao's side was also ready - the third team of archers took the arrows, handed over the one with the water bladder to the first team on the half-kneeling, and handed the lit one to the second team.

Then the jaw-dropping coordination began—the first team of archers shot the water bladder arrows slightly diagonally upwards with eighty percent of their strength, and just as the arrows fell to the same height as the head of the tiger and leopard cavalry, the second team of archers relentless, opened their bows, and shot the water bladders of the previous arrows with rockets.

"Ahh

"Hmm!"

"Ahh

Unlike the cavalry trapped in the camp, Cao Chun did not train his men to be so cold-blooded. Therefore, when the fire burned head-on, many cavalrymen subconsciously raised their hands to cover their faces and shouted at the same time.

When You Tao saw this scene, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

"Brothers, do you see? The rumored tiger and leopard ride is also afraid of pain! They're not as good as the legend says! Brothers, keep firing arrows! ”

You Tao's men also saw the reaction of the tiger and leopard rider, and of course everyone was instantly confident. yes, as long as it's not a monster like a trapped, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side kept slapping the fire on their bodies, completely ignoring the control of the horses, the night fronts in the southeast began to wantonly ravage the enemy who was already not far from them. After all, at such a distance, the bow and arrow will definitely not go empty.

When many tigers and leopards rushed in front of the enemy's formation, they had already been hit by two arrows, and their bodies were still on fire.

However, You Tao suddenly discovered the problem - the enemy's war horse did not run out of order!

"Stop! Quick, retreat immediately! You Tao's face turned pale and shouted at the subordinates beside him.

None of his subordinates understood what was going on, the enemy had already been sent to the front, so why not annihilate them in one fell swoop?

The next moment, they finally understood. Because, the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry no longer shouted at this time, and not even a single person made a sound. When the hand that covered their face was lowered, it was not a face that had been painfully distorted from being burned or shot by arrows.

All the tigers and leopards ride unexpectedly ...... All laughing?!

Unlike the trapped camp, which is always indifferent, the warriors of the tiger and leopard riders will laugh without hesitation when they are excited.

The Tiger and Leopard Rider, who has not tasted defeat since the beginning of the establishment, has encountered an opponent who can make him panic. This kind of thing, for them who have always been invincible and just want to compete with the trapped camp, how happy it is!

Compared to this excitement, the arrow wounds and burning pain on the body are not the same thing at all.

Cao Chun was also hit by an arrow in his right arm, but he didn't seem to feel it at all, and he was stunned to use this injured arm to flatten the spear.

He rushed to the front, and at this time he was less than ten steps away from You Tao, and in You Tao's opinion, he was like a demon, smiling and trying to eat himself.

Cao Chun inhaled slightly, ordered the warriors behind him to make the final acceleration, and said in a calm voice:

"It is as fierce as a tiger, as fast as a leopard, the overlord of cavalry, and the pride of the world!"
