Chapter 262: Verification Results
"General, there seems to be a group of men and horses out of the city in Yangping Pass, heading straight for our army!" After listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi had not yet given the order, and suddenly heard a general in front of him look at Yangping Pass, only to see the gate of the gate wide open, and a team of men and horses came quickly in the direction of Cao Pi's army.
He followed the general's hand and looked in the direction of Yangping Pass, only to see that this team of men and horses was very large in number, and they were constantly rushing out of the gate and rushing towards it.
At the moment, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and others no longer cared about Ma Chao and Wei Yan leading the cavalry to intrude, and they all led their elite personal soldiers to protect Cao Pi's side tightly, so as not to make some mistakes under the chaotic battle.
When this team of men and horses got closer, Cao Pi and the generals on his side all showed a solemn look on their faces, only because of this time, they finally saw that the armor of this team of men and horses was very different from the Hanzhong defenders they faced before, and it was even clearer that a handsome flag in front of the army was waving in the wind, and a huge 'seal' word on it showed the master of this army.
Cao Pi was most reluctant to imagine the thing, finally happened, seeing this handsome flag, Cao Pi finally had to admit that at this time, Yangping Pass was not as easy to capture as yesterday, just because the owner of Yangping Pass became the most popular in this troubled world, and even his father Cao Cao was almost planted in his hands Liu Feng.
Cao Pi was very remorseful at this time, regretting that he failed to follow Sima Yi's advice, and even more regretful was that yesterday he failed to take advantage of the night to take Yangping Pass first, and this was only one night, and Liu Feng took Yangping Pass first, Cao Pi knew that in this way, he was afraid that most of his achievements would fall short.
"Zihuan, I'm afraid it's Liu Feng's Yizhou soldiers, if we wait for a decisive battle with him, maybe we can defeat it, and then recover Yangping Pass!"
Cao Hong saw that it was the army led by Liu Feng, and he was not afraid in his heart, but said that there were more than 60,000 troops left in his array, so he immediately asked for battle, wanting to fight fiercely with Liu Feng's army and recover Yangping Pass.
At this time, although Cao Pi had an army of 60,000, but the 60,000 army was originally prepared to attack the city, there were still a lot of siege equipment in the array, and the action was quite inconvenient.
"Zhongda, in your opinion, should we fight it head-on this time, or should we withdraw immediately?"
Sima Yi looked at Liu Feng's army that was getting closer and closer, and there was a slight hesitation in his eyes, but after a while, he regained a trace of clarity, and whispered in Cao Pi's ear: "In this battle, Zhonglang will have to fight with Liu Feng, but according to the minister's opinion, Liu Feng is waiting for work, and there are nearly 10,000 elite horsemen to invade our army, so this battle must be unwinnable. ”
Obviously, Sima Yi has analyzed this situation very thoroughly, Cao Pi listened to it, and also thought it was true, what kind of temperament Cao Cao was, Cao Pi naturally knew very well, if the enemy was expected to withdraw to the camp, then Cao Cao knew that he would be furious, and fighting with the enemy and then retreating, in Cao Cao's eyes, it was completely acceptable, Sima Yi saw through Cao Cao's thoughts, so he had this suggestion.
"The generals will listen to the order, follow me to defeat Liu Feng and attack Yangping Pass!" Cao Pi had made up his mind in his heart, and immediately ordered, and when the sergeants under his command heard this, they formed their own formations and waited for Liu Feng's army.
"Lord, the Cao army wants to fight with us, and the number of troops led by us is not as good as the Cao army, but it is not invincible." Huang Zhong saw that Cao Jun was far away, and his heart was also full of enthusiasm, such a large-scale battle, Huang Zhong had not experienced it for a long time, and now that he had this opportunity, the big knife in his hand was already hungry and thirsty.
"Since Cao Pi wants to see the strength of our army, it is okay to teach him to see it today, otherwise Cao Pi's power on the Central Plains is too fast, and it will not be good for us...... The old general Hansheng is the vanguard this time, don't line up, just enter his formation! ”
"The minister has an order! I won't be disappointed! Huang Zhong was waiting for these words at this time, he spent more than a year in Jingzhou training these elite soldiers, although they did look very strong, but how could he not want to show the strength of these soldiers in front of Liu Cover, and today, he finally got this opportunity.
In the distance, Ma Chao and Wei Yan were still leading the Feiyu Guard and cavalry to invade on the flanks of Cao's army, because the army led by Huang Zhong was getting closer and closer, Cao Pi had no time to take care of Ma Chao and Wei Yan, so he had to focus on the army led by Huang Zhong for the time being.
Finally, the two largest forces representing the land of the Central Plains today are outside Yangping Pass, the gateway of Hanzhong, the real sword and the real gun met, both sides are tens of thousands of soldiers, just met is the sound of killing shocking the sky, Cao army in addition to Cao Pi, the rest of the generals are also soldiers in front of the body, rushing back and forth in the formation.
But soon, the originally optimistic Cao Pi showed a solemn look on his face, and sure enough, as Sima Yi said, although the number was superior, but in the face of Liu Feng's tens of thousands of troops, Cao Jun was directly caught in a bitter battle.
The army led by Liu Feng, the charge in the former everyone is holding a shield short blade, and the rear with a spear in cooperation with each other, so that the Cao soldiers who only have a spear in their hands are at a loss for a while, but under the battlefield, it is life and death in an instant, Cao Jun does not know how to start, but the army led by Huang Zhong is alive and well, for a time it is like a tiger into a flock, and it will not take long to use its skillful cooperation to make Cao Jun fall a piece.
Liu Feng did not join the battlefield at this time, but chose a high ground, riding a horse and standing on the high ground to watch the battle between his own soldiers and Cao's army, Liu Feng needed such a battle too much, so that he could know whether the elite soldiers he had worked hard in Jingzhou would have an advantage in the competition with other forces as he had hoped before.
Obviously, after this confrontation, Liu Feng already had the bottom in his heart, the more than one training they experienced in Jingzhou, and the weapons and armor they spent a lot of money to buy iron ore, all of them were not in vain, even if it was the Cao army, which had few defeats in the confrontation with other forces, it was helpless under the attack of Liu Feng's 30,000 elite soldiers.
