Yin Li hurriedly said: "No, no." Chen Guocha Zhaolie Zhonglang will preside over the overall situation, although it is dangerous. However, Yingchuan now has only more than 5,000 troops left, and it is not enough to defend against attacks, and I don't know if Liu Biao and Cao Cao will send troops back. I have asked Xie Taishou to urgently gather 30,000 volunteers, and I will use the method taught by the lord to practice them, so that the situation can be stabilized in ten days, and the north and south can counterattack in a month. Please also ask Captain Huang not to be in a hurry. ”

Huang Zhongqi said: "The lord actually knows the method of forming an army in January? ”

Yin Li smiled: "It originally took three months, but it can be reduced to one month in an emergency." Although the army is not elite, it is much stronger than the average county soldiers. If there is a degree of control, it is not worse than the state soldiers. ”

Huang Zhong knew that Yin Li said that the combat strength of the soldiers was different, the strongest soldiers of the Han Dynasty were usually those who had been practicing martial arts all year round, and the soldiers of the Haoliang family of the border counties were recruited for official titles, such as Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng and other generals who were good at fighting.

Most of the soldiers in the states and counties in the interior were conscripts, and their combat strength was usually not strong. For example, the two armies of the north and south stationed in the capital have been trained for more than five years, and everyone knows the elite of halberds, spears, swords, shields, and arrows.

It is because the training time is too long, and too many materials are spent. In recent decades, there has been little military training in all parts of the Han Dynasty. If there is a war, directly recruit the sons of the good family or the Hu cavalry in the north as soldiers.

Huang Zhong silently calculated, he could become a county soldier in January, a state soldier in March, and a fine soldier in a year. Huang Zhong couldn't help but be very interested in this kind of magical method of military training.

Not to mention the general Huang Zhong and Yin Li's large-scale military training in Yingchuan, only to say that Zhou Ge and Deng Dang, who were defeated by Cao Ren, finally waited for the arrival of Che Jing and Han Dangjun in Suiyang.

Che Jing asked: "Ziheng and Ziren, you two are people who have been in battle for a long time, why did you lose so quickly?" ”

Zhou Ge said angrily: "The elite of the Cao army is not as good as our army, but it is trained by the method of killing. I heard that before the expedition, Cao Cao had killed nearly 20,000 people in ten days. So I fought with Cao Ren, and Cao Ren gave an order, and the whole Cao army surged, and everyone was not afraid of death, and repeatedly broke through our formation. Our troops were defeated and gathered, and they were far less than Cao's army, and they were finally invincible, and the Yuan army in the rear was defeated first, and our troops had to retreat helplessly. ”

Che Jing looked surprised and asked, "The method of killing is training?" This was the training method of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It seems that no one has done this since the Han Dynasty. ”

"Exactly." Deng Dang responded: "Zhengli, you don't know, Cao Ren has 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers under his command. This Qingzhou soldier was originally a genus of the Yellow Turban Moth Thief, and after being confused by the Taiping Taoist teachings, he didn't have much feeling about life and death. Now that he has been trained by the method of killing to become a fierce army that is not afraid of life and death, everyone's eyes are full of blood-devouring fierceness. They are bare-headed and shirtless, and they move forward bravely, with the style of pre-Qin Ruishi. ”

They can also carry a man's head in their left arm and a captive in their right arm, chasing after their opponents relentlessly. If it weren't for the fact that they were not good at fighting in formation, and their individual skills were not strong, our army would only be in danger of being wiped out. ”

Che Jing asked thoughtfully: "According to what you two said, in addition to not having the strong crossbow weapons of the Qin State, this Qingzhou soldier is no longer weaker than the pre-Qin army when he unified the Six Kingdoms in terms of combat momentum?" ”

Zhou Ge shook his head and said: "Ziren overestimated the Qingzhou soldiers, the Qingzhou soldiers were sharp and the offensive was amazing. If it is a soldier like Yuan Shujun who has not been trained for a long time, he can break it in one go. However, if we meet our army, as long as our army is prepared, stands in formation, defends first and then attacks, and when the Qingzhou soldiers only disperse, our army will be able to break through the Qingzhou soldiers like a bamboo. My previous defeat was mainly due to the fact that there were too few soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu's army was defeated early. Today, with Zhengli and Captain Han coming, our army will definitely be able to defeat Cao's army. ”

Che Jing responded: "After fighting Cao Ren tomorrow, I will talk about it after looking at the general outline of his army." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, four generals, Che Jing, Zhou Ge, Deng Dang, and Han Dang, led the troops to battle, Deng Dang led 4,000 soldiers on the left, Han Dang led 4,000 soldiers on the right, and Che Jing and Zhou Ge led 8,000 soldiers in the center. In the first battle, Zhou Ge and Deng Dang lost nearly 4,000 soldiers. Looking at Cao Jun, who was fighting undeclared in front of him, his heart was full of resentment.

In addition to Cao Jun's soldiers who are not afraid of death, undeclared war is also a major factor. If it weren't for this, Zhou Ge and Deng Dang would not have led their troops to fight with them in a hurry, and there would have been no previous defeat.

Cao Renwen's Che Jing led the troops to fight, and he was not to be outdone and led the army out of the camp. Cao's army had a total of 19,000 men, and it was also divided into three formations: left, center, and right. Zhou Ge pointed to the three general flags with the surname Cao in front of him, which puzzled Che Jing and said: "These three Cao are all Cao Cao's brothers, with Cao Ren in the Chinese army as the main general, Cao Hong in the left army, Cao Chun in the right army, and a general flag surnamed Wang, which is Wang Lang, who was the former lieutenant of Jibei and was later appointed as a captain. ”

Che Jingqi said: "Are they all Cao Cao's brothers? ”

Zhou Ge persuaded: "Cao Ren's civil and military merger, power and wisdom are timely, strict and orderly, and he is a famous general. Cao Hong is brave and brave, not afraid of death, and is a talent in battle. Cao Chun is strong on the outside and strong on the inside, attaches equal importance to civil and military, and is also a good general. The deputy general Wang Lang is heavy-handed, and he can stop the rashness of the three Caos. Don't be careless. ”

Che Jing looked solemn and said: "In the past, the Han family promoted talents based on family background, and most of the good generals were cowardly. Nowadays, the heroes are competing for hegemony, all of which are mainly family children or strong generals with foreign surnames, and famous generals and good generals are brave. Most of the soldiers selected for training are carefully selected, and they are trained in cool methods, which is indeed much stronger than the soldiers and horses encountered before. However, it should not be stronger than the Xiliang soldiers encountered at Dagu Pass. ”

Zhou Ge said: "Zhengli needs to have the heart of hard fighting. ”

Che Jingtou said: "Our army is new, I don't know what the situation of Cao Jun is. Zhong Sima, how about you please lead the soldiers under your command and step forward to challenge first? ”

Zhong Sima is Zhong Jin, Zhou Ge's deputy general Sima, who had fought against Cao Jun before, so he knew the strength of Cao Jun, and he was a good candidate to challenge and test Cao Jun's combat strength.

Zhong Jin surrendered his hand, held a big axe, rode out, and summoned the seven hundred soldiers under his command to challenge, and immediately saw that there were Cao generals leading thousands of people out of the battle, Zhou Ge looked at it and said: "That general's name is Xu Shang, he is Cao Ren's deputy general, and his ability is not bad, and Zhong Jin can be regarded as a good talent." However, Xu Shang has a lot of soldiers, just to see if Zhong Jin is likely to win. ”

The two generals met in front of the battle, and each shot with a bow and arrow, Zhong Jin's soldiers were strong, and Xu Shang retreated step by step. After retreating more than ten steps in a row, Xu Shang immediately raised his flag and shouted for an assault. Che Jingguo saw that the Qingzhou soldiers roared loudly, raised their shields and rushed forward fiercely, regardless of the array, and rushed forward frantically.

Zhong Jin calmly resisted with his shield hand in front, spearman in the back, and archers at the end of the arrow continuously. However, the Qingzhou soldiers were like madness, constantly rushing forward one after another. As long as there is a gap, the whole person immediately pounces in, and the dancing knife and spear are a burst of indiscriminate slashing and stabbing, taking the opportunity to expand the gap and let the follow-up soldiers and horses continue to break in.

Zhong Jin's soldiers died one after another, constantly filling the gap, and the two sides strangled the gap for a moment or so, and the Qingzhou soldiers finally lost their morale and retreated slightly. Zhong Jin hurriedly shouted loudly, retreated twenty steps back, and re-established the formation.

Then, the two people were entangled together again, constantly fighting to the death. The surrounding more than 33,000 troops seemed to be quietly watching, constantly analyzing the opponent's strength and flaws from the battle of 1,000 people in the field, and seeing if there was a chance to win.

For a long time, Cao Ren shook his head in disappointment, after all, the Korean army on the opposite side was a strong army that had been fought for a long time, and there were no flaws to be found in all aspects. However, Xu Shang, who was already in the army, although his strength was increased by 30%, he had exposed flaws many times. It seems that the Qingzhou soldiers are still inferior to the Yuzhou soldiers.

After another two quarters of fighting, Xu Shang's troops had already suffered more than 300 casualties, while Zhong Jin's troops had only suffered 200 casualties. If I continue to fight, I'm afraid that I will be exposed. Cao Ren hurriedly waved his hand, and the Chinese army suddenly rang the golden bell for retreating.

Xu Shang wiped the beads of sweat and glared at Zhong Jin fiercely, and then led the army to slowly retreat with the wounded soldiers. Zhong Jinchang breathed a sigh of relief, he finally had a slight victory in this battle, and it also let the later reinforcements see the strength of Cao's army. He also retreated with the wounded soldiers.

It's just that not long after Xu Shang retreated, he rode from the Chinese army. Xu Shang immediately stopped in the middle of the formation, and held the more than 100 lightly and seriously injured soldiers on the spot, and the knife and axe hand behind him raised the knife high. Just when the Yuzhou soldiers didn't know what to do, suddenly the knife and axe fell, and the head of the wounded soldier rolled to the ground.

The Yuzhou soldiers couldn't help but be taken aback, and in an instant, a strong fire of anger rose. The Qingzhou soldiers and the army fought to the death, and it can be said that the two sides are outwhelmed, but the Qingzhou soldiers are the main attack, and the casualties are naturally higher.

I don't want these warriors to be killed on the spot after being injured in a hard battle. This made Ben's long-lying pity for the enemy suddenly turn into anger. He vows to kill the opponent's hateful commander and avenge the opponent who was killed for no reason after a bitter battle.

Cao Ren, the chief general of the Cao army, what is this going to do? The generals of the South Korean army also looked at each other and were puzzled.

Che Jing couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said: "I thought that although Cao's army was fierce, it really couldn't last, and our army was elected to use elite soldiers and fierce generals, and it was invited to fight for days before it could break its army." I don't want Cao Ren to be young and knowledgeable after all, and he wants to follow the example of Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period in the Battle of Maoli and the means of committing suicide in front of the battle to shock our army. If our army is Yuan Shu's army, or at the beginning of today's war, it may be shocked. Now, Cao's army is defeated. ”

After speaking, Che Jing immediately waved the flag of the whole army to attack, and less than an hour after Cao Ren's army engaged in the battle, the whole army was immediately defeated and retreated. Under the continuous attack led by Che Jing, Cao Ren was defeated in successive battles, and finally turned into a rout. It wasn't until he fled back to Jiyin County that he stopped the defeat. Once the rest of the army was cleared, there were less than 5,000 people left.
