Ju Yi took the first camp to set foot on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The soldiers who ascended the camp first lined up in a phalanx, and the back row spread their bows and arrows to aim at the Yuan army, while the front row put their shields in front of them and set up a shield wall.

The first camp that crossed the river occupied the beachhead, and more and more Cao troops rushed across the pontoon bridge and jumped on the river beach to move closer to them.

There are more and more Cao Jun.

The generals also crossed the river one after another.

Sima Yi asked Cao Shuo, "Childe, do you want to ......?"

"The soldiers are on the other side of the river, of course I have to go over." Cao Shuo said: "You lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to stay on the south bank, and show me the catapults and flying kites." ”

"Childe only took 30,000 people across the river?" The soldiers of Cao Jun were still crossing the river, and Sima Yi asked in amazement.

"No!" Cao Shuo said: "I took 20,000 people across the river. ”

"20,000?" Sima Yi's expression was even more stunned: "Although the soldiers of our army are all fierce warriors in a hundred battles, the enemy army on the other side of the strait is as many as eighty or ninety thousand after all......

"Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses have been crippled by you." Cao Shuo said: "Although those people under his command have been on the battlefield, they don't have much combat effectiveness. What I really have to deal with is Yuan Jun from Yecheng. 20,000 elite soldiers against 70,000 stragglers, isn't it still easy? ”

"Gongzi obviously brought 30,000 standing troops...... Sima Yi immediately shut up as soon as he asked.

He remembered the flying kite.

Glancing back at the flying kite in the distance, he didn't ask any further.

"When I lead the army to charge, you will let the standing army I left behind cross the river on flying kites." Cao Shuo said: "10,000 horses, it will take a long time. ”

"Catapults can throw stones at the other side, and kites can pass by?" Sima Yi asked, "In case I fall into the water......

"Don't worry." Cao Shuo said: "The performance of the flying kite has been tried a long time ago, and its projection distance is much farther than that of the catapult. ”

Pointing to Yuan Jun on the other side, Cao Shuo said: "The flying kite can land at least two or three hundred steps behind Yuan Jun, and the soldiers can also shoot arrows from top to bottom while flying over." By the time the enemy came to their senses, our army had formed an encirclement of them. ”

"Could it be that Childe is going to fight?" Sima Yi asked in disbelief.

"It's all here, you can't fight it, what kind of battle are you fighting?" Cao Shuo said: "Ordnance is stronger than people, drills are stronger than people, and even the lineup of wise men and fierce generals is stronger than others." Although we are outnumbered, we still have no reason not to fight. ”

Cao Shuo said resolutely, and Sima Yi clasped his fists and saluted: "I wish Gongzi a victory." ”

The army rushed along the pontoon bridge to the other side of the river.

Surrounded by a group of generals, Cao Shuo climbed onto the riverbank.

"Childe, we can do it here, why bother to come here in person?" Accompanying Cao Shuo, Chen Zhi reminded in a low voice: "The sword in front has no eyes......

"The soldiers have crossed the river, what reason do I have to wait on the other side of the river?" Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "With me, the soldiers are more able to fight the enemy." ”

Standing on the beachhead, Cao Shuo raised his arm and said, "Order the other side of the river, the catapult to stop throwing stones." ”

Chen Zhi turned around and waved his hand to the other side.

After a while, the catapult gradually stopped throwing boulders.

The dust and smoke smashed by the boulder gradually dissipated, and the Yuan army in the distance became clear in the field of vision of the Cao army's soldiers.

Raising his hand and pointing forward, Cao Shuo shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy army is in front of you, fight bravely to kill the enemy, I am with you!" ”

The officers and men of the three armies shouted, and the first to enter the camp was at the front, followed by 20,000 essences.

Cao Shuo went out this time, and the elite soldiers of several battalions under his command all accompanied him.

The three battalions of dragon pattern, flying bear and broken formation were clustered around Cao Shuo.

Looking at the soldiers of the third battalion, Cao Shuo said to Chen Dao, Wei Yan and Gao Shun: "Three generals, this time to kill the enemy, you still need the elite to lead, you don't have to stay with me, just establish meritorious deeds." ”

"Our army is fighting against the water, and it is still appropriate for Childe to have more people around him." Gao Shun said: "Why don't you ask General Chen to stay here to protect Gongzi......

"You don't have to keep any of you." Cao Shuo said: "Fighting against the water, although it is a taboo in the art of war, but the battle of Xiang Yu Julu was in this situation. What's more, Xiang Yu and Zhang Han at that time, the comparison of the strength of the two sides was much more severe than ours. What Xiang Yu can do, why can't I? ”

Cao Shuo compared himself to Xiang Yu, Gao Shun and others didn't have much to say, so they could only give up their orders one after another.

The catapults stopped dropping boulders, and the north bank of the Yellow River fell into silence.

The two armies looked at each other from afar, and the soldiers of the Cao army were full of strength, waiting for Cao Shuo to give the order to attack.

Drawing out his long sword, Cao Shuo pointed forward: "Attack!" ”

The first camp in the front of the formation immediately followed Ju Yi and launched a charge.

The two battalions of Breaking Formation and Flying Bear were not far behind and rushed towards Yuan's army.

All the infantry marched in a large formation, rushing towards the enemy.

When the charge was launched, the formation of the soldiers under Cao Shuo was not chaotic at all, although they were running at a rapid pace, the shield formation was still neat.

Cao Jun is well-trained, Cao Jun is well-trained, which is not a good thing for Yuan Jun.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao gasped and subconsciously said: "Cao Zirong can actually train such soldiers and horses......"

Not only Yuan Shao sighed, but others were also shocked.

Yuan Tan and the others held their blades and looked at Cao Jun who rushed over, and they all subconsciously clenched their fists.

They could feel that the palms of the hands holding the weapons were already drenched in sweat.

Cao's infantry attacked first, and when they rushed to the range of Yuan's bows and arrows, the opposing Yuan's array flew out with a dense array of arrows like locusts.

When the arrows flew, the Cao soldiers immediately raised their shields, instantly forming a huge tortoiseshell array that was moving rapidly.

The rain of arrows fell, although some Cao soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, due to the tight defense of the tortoiseshell array, the number of Cao soldiers who fell to the ground was still very small.

Seeing that Cao Jun rushed to a place where he was only thirty or forty paces, Yuan Shao shouted: "Order, attack!" ”

By the time Yuan Shao's order was issued, Cao Jun had already rushed to a place where there were only more than ten steps.

The heavy infantry of the Yuan army, who were waiting in a nervous state, shouted and collided with the Cao army.

The two sides collided together, and the fight immediately began.

Cao Shuo ordered again: "The cavalry is divided into two wings and attacks from the flanks!" ”

The dragon pattern cavalry led by Chen Zhi had been waiting for this order for a long time.

Before the order was given, Chen Zhi had already rushed out on horseback and led the dragon pattern cavalry to kill the enemy from the left flank.

More cavalry split into two streams, urging their horses to charge towards the enemy.

When the cavalry charged, on the south side of the riverbank, more than 100 flying kites projected giant "big birds".

The big bird flew over the Yellow River and whistled over Yuan Jun's head.

When they flew over the top of Yuan's army, the Cao soldiers riding on the flying kite opened their bows and fired arrows at Yuan's army from the top of their heads.
