"There is a small general in the Wei army, Cao Yan, who leads a cavalry, and it is difficult to be elite. Many of our soldiers died at his hands. Liao Hua reported to Liu Du about the battle.

"However, our army lacks war horses, and the cavalry is difficult to compete with the Wei army. The prime minister was blocked by Sima Yi in Hanzhong again, and it was difficult for Ma Chao to lead the army into Liangzhou. Huang Quan shook his head and sighed.

Xu Shu was shocked when he heard this: "Cao Yan? The elite cavalry that the soldiers encountered should be the tiger and leopard cavalry, no wonder this sneak attack on the Wei camp will fail. ”

"How brave are the tigers and leopards?" Liu Du stroked his white beard and asked.

Xu Shu explained: "The tigers and leopards rode extremely sharp horses and the Xiliang cavalry were all defeated by him. For every one person it lacks, it will be filled in from the 100 generals of the Wei army. After Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu both served as the commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but the two later led the army themselves, and then rarely heard of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Now Cao Chun died of illness, and his son Cao Yan took over the tiger and leopard ride, and he must be sharp. In the coming day, our army must deal with the enemy carefully. ”

Liu Du furrowed his brows and asked Lu Meng, "Haven't there been any news from Tian Yu and Han Xuan?" ”

Lu Meng replied: "Liaodong Tianyu has entered Youzhou, and the latest battle situation is not yet known. On the side of the king, there were successive battles, and now he has joined forces with General Pingbei, defeated Xu Huang in Youhua, and marched into Yingchuan County. ”

Liu Du was afraid that Han Xuan and Chen Wu would steal the limelight, so he got up and shouted: "Inform all battalions to reorganize and inspect the ordnance, and tomorrow I will personally supervise the battle and meet the Wei army!" ”

The next day, the sky was clear. Liu Du's army lined up, the chariots of the New Han Army were arranged on the periphery, the shield soldiers defended the gaps between the chariots, and the pikemen were crossed behind the shield soldiers. Liu Duzi led the army in the middle, commanding the army to resist the attack of the enemy's Wei cavalry with muskets and bows and arrows.

Cao Tai commanded the Wei army to advance according to the crane wing formation, Cao Tai was located in the middle of the formation, surrounded by heavy troops, and spread his wings like a crane on the left and right, which was a formation that was both offensive and defensive.

Cao Taiwang saw that the front of the New Han Army was well guarded, and he also knew that using the cavalry to attack head-on was to send him to death, so he adopted this formation to let the cavalry outflank him from the left and right.

It's just that the New Han Army also has heavy protection on the left and right, with horses and pits, and Liu Du's muskets and bows and arrows in the formation shoot the Wei cavalry around the flank from a long distance. The chariot shields of the Xinhan on the front effectively prevented a small number of Wei cavalry from jumping into the formation, and the spears stabbed many Wei infantry and cavalry at close range.

After a fierce battle, the Wei cavalry charged again, and the defensive formation of the New Han Army flank was gradually dispersed, and the number of casualties on both sides was gradually rising. At this time, Cao Yan led the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush in from the left flank, and the new Han soldiers were crushed and had to retreat again and again.

"The one who retreats is slashed!" Liu Du drew his sword and immediately beheaded a deserter, and ordered the generals to lead the army to block the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Zhang Ren, Liao Hua, Wen Ping, Zhang Yi and other generals led the army together, and finally blocked the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the formation of the New Han army began to slowly recover. The two armies fought until noon, and the sergeants were exhausted, and they each collected their troops and returned to the camp, leaving only countless corpses on the battlefield.

The casualties were counted and reported by the various departments, and the battle was 1,000 wounded and 800 self-inflicted, Liu Du asked Xu Shu urgently: "The strength of the Wei army is far superior to our army, and its cavalry is very powerful, what is the good strategy of the military division?" ”

"You can make the forward army use hook sickles and giant axes to meet the enemy cavalry, but this method requires the soldiers to have extraordinary ......courage," Xu Shu hesitated.

Liu Du hesitated for a while, and said to the halberd outside the door: "Now I have to use this army." Spread that Xing Ju and Pan Ren came to see me! ”

"The last generals, Xing Ju and Pan Ren, meet Your Majesty." The two young generals went straight into the account to meet Liu Du.

"Pan Feng and Xing Daorong were loyal ministers of the country, but unfortunately died early. The two of you are the sons of the tiger generals, and they took over from Xiaoguo Weilai, guarding me left and right, and they have never been in battle. Now I have made you and the other governors Xiao Guowei to meet the tiger and leopard ride, can you dare to fight? ”

"The two of us are willing to fight to the death for Your Majesty!" Xing Ju and Pan Ren replied in unison.

Liu Du nodded, and instructed the waiter: "Take my imperial armor and imperial horse!" ”

Liu Du gave the two of them the armor and the horse, and the two of them thanked them. The next day, in front of the two armies, the Wei army rode out of the tiger and leopard, and Liu Du made Xing Ju and Pan Ren lead Xiao Guowei to meet the battle.

The soft armor worn by the tiger and leopard rider is difficult to cut through with ordinary swords. And Xiao Guowei is the tomahawk soldiers trained by Xing Daorong and Pan Feng that Liu Du ordered back then, and the heavy tomahawk can chop the tiger and leopard riders to death with armor, and now Liu Du allocates the few remaining war horses in the camp to them.

The two armies faced each other, and although the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered heavy casualties, it was exchanged for three for one by Xiao Guowei. The short spear carried by the tiger and leopard rider can be used for melee combat and can also be used for throwing, compared to Xiao Guowei, who can only hold an axe for melee combat, and Cao Yan's proper command makes the tiger and leopard rider still have an advantage.

Xing Ju and Pan Ren rushed straight to Cao Yan with more than a dozen war horses carrying heavy packages. The two of them had Liu Du's imperial treasure armor to defend themselves, breaking through the defensive formation of the tiger and leopard riding, and they were about to rush to Cao Yan's side. Suddenly, a tiger guard behind Cao Yan came out, holding a halberd to fly Xing Ju.

Pan Ren shouted, raised his axe and slashed Cao Yan, but Cao Yan led the tiger and leopard cavalry to besiege and cut down the horse. Liu Du, who was watching the battle from afar, held back the grief in his heart and ordered the strong crossbowmen who had already been rocketing to release arrows in the direction of Xing Ju and Pan Ren.

Countless rockets flew over, igniting the package of the war horse, and the earth-shattering explosion was heard. Cao Yan and his tiger and leopard riders, along with Xing Ju and Pan Renquan, were killed. It turned out that Liu Du asked Xing Ju and Pan Ren to find Cao Yan with a large amount of gunpowder and carry out this suicidal attack on the tiger and leopard horse.

As soon as Cao Yan died, the tiger and leopard riders had to retreat, and the remaining Xiaoguowei bit them to death. Liu Du took advantage of the situation to wave his army and kill for a while, and the tiger and leopard riders were almost completely annihilated. Liu Du collected his troops and returned to the camp, and all 5,000 Xiaoguowei were killed in battle, and the tiger and leopard cavalry also existed in name only.

Cao Rui was furious and ordered the Wei army to attack the Xinhan military camp in a big way. Liu Du had already ordered all armies to build fortresses, dig long trenches, erect sharp wooden stakes, and set up triphorse ropes, and Xu Shu's hook and sickle spearmen cooperated with musketeers and crossbowmen to block the invading Wei cavalry.

The Wei army failed in the attack, and Liu Ye presented Liu Du with the Shenwei cannon he had just developed, and the New Han army turned from defense to attack under the cover of artillery fire, and defeated the Wei army for a while.

Cao Tai ordered the Wei army to stick to the camp, but Cao Rui urged: "Quickly send troops to fight Liu Du to the death!" After a few more delays, Han Xuan attacked Xuchang and attacked Liu Du back and forth, and there was no place to bury him! ”

Seeing this, Xun Shi hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the enemy army is more anxious than us. Looking at the celestial phenomena, there will be heavy rain in two days, and the enemy's firearms will not be able to use at that time, and it will not be too late for our army to fight again. ”

So the two armies held each other for two more days, and sure enough, it rained heavily, and the Wei army attacked for a while, defeated the New Han army, and then collected the troops and returned. Heavy rain fell for seven or eight days in a row, and the rivers in various places swelled and flooded. Liu Du ordered the army to move the camp to a higher ground and hold on to the Wei army.

At this time, Han Xuan and Chen Wu led the army to defeat Xu Huang again, and Xu Huang retreated to Dingling, so that the army held on to the camp and did not fight.

Chen Wu and his son Chen Xiu came to Xu Huang Village to challenge, and when they saw Chen Wu Yaowu, Xu Huang's sons Xu Zhen and Xu Gai fought angrily. Chen Wu defeated Xu Gai in less than ten combinations, and Chen Xiu defeated Xu Zhen in fifteen combinations.

Chen Wuyang raised his halberd and provoked towards Xu Huang Dazhai: "Fight the tiger brothers, and go into battle with father and son." Xu Huang, you sent your second son to death, and he became a famous general of Wei in vain! ”

Xu Huang saw Chen Wu chasing and killing Xu Gai, so he hurriedly raised his axe and stopped Chen Wu from fighting. Chen Wu fought against Xu Huang and Xu Gai alone, and gradually fell behind after the 20th battle.

Chen Xiu saw that a shot shook Xu Zhen back, abandoned the gun, grabbed his bow and shot an arrow, and hit Xu Huang's right shoulder. Chen Wu's halberd swept over, Xu Huang couldn't dodge, Xu Gai desperately stopped it, but was picked off by Chen Wu's halberd.

Xu Huang was filled with grief and anger, and suddenly slashed at Chen Wu's chest with an axe. Chen Wu was able to block it, but he was shocked by Xu Huang's blow full of internal force and spit out a mouthful of blood. Xu Huang picked up the body of his son Xu Gai and fled back with Xu Qian. Han Xuan took advantage of the situation to wave his army in pursuit, broke the Wei army, and occupied Dingling.
