Cao Ren's tactics, Xu is the best tactic at the moment.

If there was no letter from Xun You, Cao Cao would definitely agree.

But now considering the existence of the alien races and Lu Bu, it was possible to threaten Xiliang, and he had to change his mind to preserve his strength.

Cao Cao said: "Kill 10,000 enemies, and lose 8,000 yourself." It is better not to go to war with the Turks until the last resort. ”

"Huh? So how can the Turks be repelled? ”

Cao Ren said suspiciously.

"General Cao, don't you still understand what the prime minister means? Even Lu Bu knew how to preserve his strength and fight against the alien race in moderation. If we lose most of our troops and horses because of the war against the Turks, how can we defend ourselves against foreign peoples? Defend against Lu Bu? Guo Jiadao.

Cao Ren seems to understand...

"Any cooperation is based on the equal strength of the two sides, if we don't have hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands, and if we don't have Yuan Shao in Hebei, Lu Bu would have already started a war with us, and there will be no current war situation."

Guo Jia finished speaking.

Cao Cao sighed: "The words of filial piety are deeply in line with my wishes. Whenever I think of Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, who have millions of troops, I feel like I am stuck in my throat. ”

"This time I went to Xiliang, not only to retreat from the enemy, but also to preserve my strength. Build relationships and alliances with the aliens, gain their support, and then reorganize the Righteous Army. Only in this way can we contend with Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. ”

"Yes."

The generals all nodded.

Cao Cao opened the map, studied it for a while, and said, "The 70,000 elites of the Ashina Golden Toad are not terrible. Because they are not good at attacking cities, as long as we can hold Hanyang for a month, after Lü Bu's army defeats the Kushan Empire of the Dayue clan, we will send people to negotiate with the Turks. I believe that the Turkic Khan will reconcile with us. ”

"The prime minister is wise."

Guo Jia agreed.

There are eleven counties in Hanyang County (not counting the county governing Jicheng), and Cao Cao sent eleven generals, each leading 20,000 troops, to garrison.

No means of attack will be taken against Ashina Jinchan's 50,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 chariots.

The strategy of facing the enemy is in two words--- avoid war!

Ashina Golden Toad has strength and has nowhere to show it. There is anger, and there is nowhere to vent.

He challenged outside the city of Ji for six days, lost more than 30 generals, and retreated...

Jincheng-gun.

The northern border of Anyi County. Lu Bu's army, and the iron cavalry of the Kushan tribe, circled around for several days within a radius of two hundred miles, and finally fought.

Why go around for a few days?

Because Lu Bu calculated the time and rushed before the arrival of the 50,000 foot soldiers in the west, let Mu Guiying's Danyang soldiers attract the attention of the iron cavalry of the Guishan tribe and make the enemy tired. Then Mu Guiying's Danyang soldiers did not participate in the battle. By the rest of the armies, meet the exhausted 50,000 iron cavalry.

In the wilderness, the two armies confronted each other.

Mu Guiying's Danyang soldiers were already tired and out of breath.

Lu Bu smiled: "You can have a good rest, and leave the rest to Yuanba and Xiang Yu." ”

"Okay."

Mu Guiying was also tired enough, sitting on horseback, and didn't want to move.

Looking at the enemy on the opposite side, they were staggering and panting. Compared with Mu Guiying's Danyang soldiers, it is even better.

Xiang Yu took two steps forward, clenched his fists and said, "Lord, without further ado, give the order to march." ”

"Okay." Lu Bu didn't say a word, drew his sword and said, "Go to war!" ”

"The lord has an order, go to war!"

Xiang Yu gave an order, and eight drummers beat the war drums.

The herald ran through the charioteers' formation, waving the command flag. 10,000 chariots galloped out and slaughtered the opposing army.

Seeing the overwhelming chariots running and rolling up the dust, the vanguard general Guishuang Duzhi said in horror: "Lord Wang, the enemy's chariot has been killed." ”

The person who is called the prince has an extremely revered status, and is the younger brother of the monarch of the Kushan Empire of the Otsuki clan, 'Kushan Vesudeva', named 'Kushan Ka Ye Lan', and is the most favored prince.

The 50,000 army behind him is the proof of favor.

When Guishan Jiaye Lan saw it, he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Quickly pass the order, Zuo Leng and Du Zang, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to the right, and the rest of the battalions follow me to the left, bypass the enemy's chariots, and kill behind the enemy." ”

"Order."

Seeing that Lu Bu's chariot was about to rush over, Guishuang Duzhi hurriedly gave the order.

"Whoa..."

After working for a long time, he finally avoided the danger before the arrival of the chariot, and advanced in two ways, left and right.

Lu Bu straightened up, saw the situation on the battlefield, and said with a smile: "It's a little interesting." The commander of the Kushan Empire of the Otsuki clan is not a fool, knowing that he has avoided the chariot and killed me. ”

"Hmph, tired teacher, what is there to fear? When I led the destruction of the barracks, I extinguished his prestige. Xiang Yu said disdainfully.

"Don't be reckless, see it clearly before you talk." Lu Bu stood on horseback and carefully observed the enemy's situation. Then he said: "The enemy in the south is stronger than the enemy in the north, and you lead the barracks to meet the enemy in the north.... ”

"This..." Xiang Yu was not convinced and wanted to fight the south.

Lu Budao: "The situation is urgent, there is no need to say more. Act according to our military orders. ”

"No."

Xiang Yu couldn't fight, so he had to accept the reality, and led the broken military camp under his command to kill to the north. The enemy in the north was the 20,000 iron cavalry of Kushan Zuoleng and Guishan Duzang, and the number was four times that of the broken military camp.

However, they are all light cavalry, poor in defense, lack the ability to conduct joint operations, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to Xiang Yu's broken military camp. Especially Xiang Yu, he can fight for several days on his own. No matter how many enemies there are, they can't stand his killing.

"Yuanba."

"Yes."

Lu Bu pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see the enemy in the south?" ”

"See." Li Yuanba had long been prepared for a big war.

Lu Budao: "I will allocate 30,000 light horsemen to you to kill them from the front, and you will completely annihilate the enemy." ”

"No, I'll just go myself." Li Yuanba carried the drum urn and the golden hammer, slapped the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Smoke Cloud Cover', and rushed towards the south.

"Yuanba..." Lu Bu was startled and hurriedly shouted.

Li Yuanba heard it, but pretended not to hear it, and accelerated the speed of the rush.

"Kill...!" Lu Bu did not hesitate any longer, raised Fang Tian's halberd, pointed to the south, and ordered the 30,000 light cavalry transferred from the military headquarters to follow Li Yuanba and launch an attack on the enemy in the south.

"Gui Ying, you take the Danyang soldiers to the west, and I will take the Longwei army to the east to block the official road. If the enemy wants to flee, be sure to intercept it, not let any of them go, and do not accept surrender. Lu Budao.

"No."

Mu Guiying rested well and led his troops to leave.

Thundered...

The previous 10,000 chariots kept running westward.

As Kushan Kaye Lan marched on the left and right sides, the chariots and iron horsemen passed by.

After running for a while, the chariot was ready to turn around.

After discussion, several lieutenants decided to divide their troops into two routes and attack the enemy's rear.

However, this process is complicated, because the battlefield is small and there are too many tanks, and it is difficult to turn around. By the time everything was ready, more than half an hour had passed, and the enemy's iron cavalry, Xiang Yu's broken barracks, and the 30,000 light cavalry of the military headquarters had already been mixed together.

Rao was like this, and the captains did not intend to give up, leading 10,000 chariots and galloping into the battlefield.

Although it cannot impact the enemy, it can be stabbed at close range with a spear depending on the height of the chariot. It also deals damage to enemies. And the chariot has a great advantage over light horses.
