"Meng De's move is also decisive enough!" Outside Suiyang City, Ye Zhao was in the camp, looking at the number of officials who had been counted, Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord, isn't it a good thing that so many people come to vote?" A staff general looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously, because it was a decisive battle with Cao Cao, so the generals in the army were equivalent to a group of staff officers and generals who came to discuss the matter.

Ye Zhao's advisers are not only Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Fa Zheng, and Manzhong, in fact, especially in the past two years, academies around the country have begun to provide Ye Zhao with a steady stream of outstanding talents, although these talents do not have so many places for them to hone the knowledge in the books into practice, but the accumulation of knowledge is enough, Ye Zhao chose his elite to be incorporated into his staff group.

After all, one person is short, everyone is long, and a wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and the role of these generals is to help check and fill in the gaps, provide some suggestions, and before the war, they have the right to put forward their own problems or express their own opinions, but once the plan is decided, there can only be one voice in the army.

"A good thing?" Li Ru shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a group of grass on the wall, now that the lord is prosperous, he will naturally vote, Cao Cao threw these people out, but also to have a stable rear, and he can concentrate all his strength to fight against the lord, not to mention, with today's Suiyang court, it can't afford to raise so many idlers!" ”

Yes, it is idlers, whether it is for Cao Cao or Ye Zhao, these people will shake the people's hearts at most, and they will not play a key role at all, which is also the reason why Ye Zhao's political system attaches more importance to grassroots officials.

Cao Cao kept these people, not only is it not beneficial at all, but it may be when Cao Cao and Ye Zhao are fighting, they will make trouble in the rear, if the time is longer, Ye Zhao's command will inevitably have such a situation, after all, everyone is in the office, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, who wants to do grassroots work for the rest of their lives, so in the future, with the continuous enrichment of the ability and skills of these young officials, Ye Zhao's subordinates will also have Cao Cao's current problems.

But now, under Ye Zhao's command, almost all of them are doers, and the operation ability of the entire force and the ability to create wealth are far away from Cao Cao and Sun Ce at an astonishing speed in the hands of this group of energetic young people, and now for Ye Zhao, there is still a long way to go before entering a stable period, and Ye Zhao wants to use the momentum of these young officials to raise the national strength of the Han Dynasty to a height that is enough to lead the world for a hundred years or even a thousand years.

Ye Zhao knocked on the table, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Now it seems that Meng De is not ready to run again this time, this battle of Suiyang may be the last battle between our army and the Cao army, these people, according to the previous plan, try to pacify, as for the decisive battle......"

"Knock knock~"

Before Ye Zhao finished speaking, there was a rumbling war drum outside the tent, Ye Zhao looked up at the tent, but saw Dian Wei's burly figure coming in from outside, and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "Lord, the Cao army has sent troops." ”

"It's fine." Ye Zhao stood up and said, "Now, there is no need to say any more, the armies have left the camp to meet the Cao army!" ”

"Whoa!"

All the generals stood up in unison and bowed in agreement.

On the spacious plain outside Suiyang City, the loud horn sounded throughout the land, and a group of soldiers wearing red robes surged out from the solid Suiyang City, and entered the spacious wilderness outside the city to open a formation.

A few miles away, the soldiers of Guanzhong have been waiting for the battle, all black helmets and black armor, looking from a distance, the boundless wilderness, as if covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, although it is just a simple formation, but a suffocating sense of depression has come to the face, so that the oncoming Cao soldiers have an indescribable sense of depression in their hearts.

The war is still brewing, but the momentum of the soldiers on both sides has begun to compete, at this point, the Guanzhong soldiers with professional training and sophisticated equipment, obviously occupy the advantage, although Cao Jun looks at the military appearance is quite neat, but both Cao Cao and his generals are very clear, these are just recruits who have just been recruited, and they are useless, although they are not a rabble, but compared with those elites who followed Cao Cao in the past to fight in the south and the north, they are like clouds.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao never thought of pressing Ye Zhao in momentum, and after the army was deployed, he commanded the army to shout a loud trumpet towards Ye Zhao's army, which was called the first voice, and the slogans of tens of thousands of people gradually converged into a wave to press towards Ye Zhaojun, intending to stop the impact of Ye Zhaojun's momentum on Cao Zhao's army.

Ye Zhao raised the command flag and waved it down, the shield hand in the front row pulled up the shield that was pierced on the ground, and began to move towards the Cao army on the opposite side, and the phalanxes that followed also began to move forward, the heavy shield stretched into a wall, the cold blade was cold, and countless spears pierced the sky obliquely, like the hideous fangs of a fierce beast with a cold chill.

Compared with Cao Jun's enthusiasm, Ye Zhaojun's army, can only hear heavy and neat footsteps, every step, as if the earth is trembling because of it, the momentum not only does not decay because of Cao Jun's passionate slogans, but with each step forward and becomes thicker, falling in Cao Jun's eyes, they are facing as if they are not an army, but the mountains that are pressing towards them!

The two armies advanced against each other, and soon, the Cao army had already entered the range of the archers, and the archers in the back row quickly stopped under the command of the general, bent their bows and arrows, and one by one the cold arrow clusters pointed obliquely at the sky, and swept the ground with the general's shout, intertwined into a dense rain of arrows in the air and then fell from the air with a scream of death.

Cao Jun's shield hand quickly raised his shield to block the arrow cluster, although the wooden shield in his hand was also strong, but in the face of the dense rain of arrows, people still kept falling, and the range of the bows and arrows on both sides was as high as 100 steps, and this 100 steps distance was destined to be supplemented by human life.

How to stabilize morale before the archers entered the firing range and not let the army collapse was Cao Cao's first problem facing Ye Zhaojun.

"Woo~"

With the sound of a desolate horn, a cavalry suddenly struck out from the other side of Suiyang City, bypassing the shield and spearmen in front of it, and directly slammed into Ye Zhao's phalanx of five archers.

Even if Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses were all elite, in the face of the surprise attack of the cavalry, the archer phalanx would probably be paralyzed.

Ye Zhao looked at the direction of Cao Junshuaiqi, smiled slightly, for this, he was obviously prepared, with a wave of the flag, a cavalry came out from the rear, bypassing the archers and going straight to the Cao army's cavalry.

The cavalry of the Cao army is about 2,000 people, but this is the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao, and it is also the only cavalry structure that Cao Cao retains today, and the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry is Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Chun, who is also a fierce general.

On Ye Zhao's side, it is Hua Xiong who commands the cavalry, who is also a veteran cavalry veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, although he is not young, but this kind of frontal and hard cavalry battle, looking at the world, may not be able to defeat Hua Xiong.

The two cavalry collided together like a rolling torrent after a while, Ye Zhao's cavalry was good at cavalry warfare, and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry was also the best of the best, plus the stirrups had been cracked by Cao Jun, this is also the only army of Cao Jun that is not much different from Ye Zhaojun in terms of equipment and quality, but unfortunately, the number is too small.

The moment the two cavalry armies collided, the blood began to flow, splashing, and gradually clouding a faint blood mist.

At this moment, both Ye Zhao and Cao Cao focused their eyes on this battle of less than 10,000 people.

This time, the total number of troops invested by the two sides is close to 200,000, but both Ye Zhao and Cao Cao know that the key to the decisive victory is in this cavalry collision, whether Hua Xiong can completely intercept Cao Chun's cavalry and prevent the other party from breaking into the archer phalanx is the key to victory or defeat.

Huaxiong's cavalry is about 5,000, which is more than twice as much as Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, but on the battlefield, defeat is one thing, defense is another, even if Huaxiong can kill most of Cao's cavalry, but as long as Cao Chun leads the cavalry to rush into the archers' phalanx, this collision is a failure, and the role of the cavalry is to attack rather than defend, Huaxiong is also to take the road of attacking instead of defending.

Cao Chun is obviously determined to die this time, it is not easy to block a person who has already given up his life, not to mention that Hua Xiong's purpose is to kill rather than block.

The collision of the cavalry was short-lived, the two sides collided together at the highest speed, and then separated after a while, at this time, Cao Chun's side, there were still two hundred horsemen, and Huaxiong's cavalry was also lost by half, the specific amount, I can't see it for a while, but the loss is indeed not small.

Two hundred horses, enough to have an impact on an archer phalanx, Ye Zhao looked at Cao Chun who vomited blood and killed into an archer phalanx, there was not much emotion in his eyes, just a simple wave of the command flag, the archers quickly retreated to both sides, and without waiting for Cao Chun to disguise, the oncoming rain of arrows directly annihilated Cao Chun and the two hundred cavalry beside him.

Under this kind of dense coverage, don't say Cao Chun, even Lu Bu at his peak is difficult to survive, Cao Chun, just like this, maintained a state of charging with dozens of arrows in his body, like a hedgehog fell down, the tiger and leopard battalion soldiers behind him, let alone survive, Cao Cao's last cavalry was destroyed, which also brought a glimmer of opportunity for Cao Jun.

The sacrifice of Cao Chun's army did have enough impact on Ye Zhaojun, Cao Jun's archers took advantage of this time to include Ye Zhaojun in the firing range, and the target was the archers who pointed directly at the back, and the shields of the two sides also collided together at this moment, and the real battle was officially kicked off at this moment, but the ending quickly came to an end with Hua Xiong leading the cavalry into the rear of the Cao army.
