The longbow of the first camp made the Jiangdong army suffer a lot.

Wei Yan and the others, who were watching the battle from afar, opened their mouths slightly one by one, looking at them in amazement.

"Fortunately, our army didn't fight with the first camp." Chen Zhi said: "If there is a real fight, just the arrows they shoot from such a distance will be enough for the soldiers." ”

"Now I believe that the first battalion can handle this battle?" Cao Shuo asked everyone with a smile.

"Believe!" Wei Yan said: "It's still a son who knows how to use people, unlike us, just blindly suspicious." ”

"It's not wrong to be suspicious." Cao Shuo said: "To be honest, I haven't seen the first camp to use their skills, and I am also doubting their ability, after all, 800 people beat 30,000 people, which sounds a bit exaggerated." ”

"That's what Childe said." The crowd chimed in.

The arrows that landed in the camp first made the Jiangdong army suffer a lot, and Zhou Tai knew that if he didn't rush forward as soon as possible, he didn't know how many soldiers would die under the strong longbow.

"Speed up, rush me!" Riding his horse and galloping, he shouted.

The arrows fired by the first camp whizzed past him.

One by one, the Jiangdong cavalry landed with arrows.

The horses of the Jiangdong cavalry were all small ponies in the south, not as tall as the mounts of the cavalry under Cao Shuo.

Short horses, of course, charge speed and momentum are not as good as tall northern horses.

But they ran faster than the infantry after all.

In just a moment, Zhou Tai led the Jiangdong cavalry to rush to the front of the first camp.

The Jiangdong infantry army was still dozens of paces away from them.

"Array!" When the enemy saw him, Ju Yi roared.

The soldiers who had arrived in the camp first threw their longbows on the ground, took out their lances, and in an instant set up a defensive cavalry formation.

Their movements are uniform, all in one go, without the slightest superfluity.

The Jiangdong cavalry that rushed to the front was unable to catch up and crashed into the large formation of the first camp.

The soldiers of the first battalion held a shield in one hand, held the shield with their shoulders, resisted the momentum of the cavalry, and kept stabbing forward with the lance in their hands, stabbing the Jiangdong cavalry off their horses one by one.

There were also Jiangdong cavalry who launched a counterattack, but the weapons they stabbed out were blocked by the big shields that went to the camp first.

Except for the fact that the two sides had just collided together, and some of the soldiers who had first ascended the battalion were knocked to the ground by the impact of the war horses, the formation composed of only 800 people did not waver in the slightest.

Zhou Tai brandished his weapon and struck the shield of the first camp in front of him vigorously.

But he didn't expect that the formation of the first camp was very exquisite.

lest the shield be torn by him, another soldier will immediately replace it and replace the companion who has lost his shield.

"Come and don't be arrogant!" Seeing that Zhou Tai had beaten a group of soldiers who had ascended the camp first, Ju Yi roared and rushed forward on horseback.

Hearing Ju Yi's roar, Zhou Tai turned his head to look over.

Seeing Ju Yi rushing up, he shouted, "Good come!" ”

The two rushed out of each other and fought each other in the chaotic battlefield.

Zhou Tai was a fierce general in Jiangdong and had followed Sun Ce to participate in many battles to recapture Jiangdong.

Ju Yi was also a general under Yuan Shao, not only good at training, but also trained a warrior like Xiandeng Ying, and his martial arts were not under the pillars of Hebei Siting.

The two fought, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

After all, the Jiangdong cavalry that rushed out first was not many in number, and was quickly suppressed by the first camp.

The war horses that lost their owners ran around, and the Jiangdong cavalry who fell off their horses were pierced through the chest by the soldiers who first boarded the camp.

Just when the Jiangdong cavalry was about to be defeated, the infantry finally rushed up.

"Kill!" The enemy infantry rushed forward, and the soldiers of the first battalion shouted in unison and rushed forward.

The Jiangdong cavalry, which was already about to be defeated, collapsed in an instant, and was squeezed to the ground in pieces between the two infantry armies that charged each other.

Killed with the Jiangdong infantry, the soldiers of the first battalion quickly dispersed.

They work in groups of three or five to coordinate with each other, seemingly isolated from each other, but they can take care of their companions when they fight.

Cao Shuo, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this scene and said to Wei Yan and the others: "The battle formations that ascended to the camp first do have their own characteristics. If they really fought on the battlefield before, although the outcome was unpredictable, the losses of any battalion would not be too small, even if the flying bear, dragon pattern or broken formation. ”

"I was about to say that too." Gao Shun said: "If I meet the broken camp first, I am really not sure that I can defeat him." ”

"The elite of the four battalions have each other's strengths." Cao Shuo said: "You each have your own tactics, and I don't force you to learn from each other, I just hope to be able to study each other's tactics." It's not for anything else, it's just for going to the battlefield in the future, and when you meet an enemy with similar tactics, you will have a way to break the enemy. ”

"We've got it!" Wei Yan and the others responded with their fists clenched.

On the battlefield, Ju Yi and Zhou Tai couldn't help each other.

However, although the Jiangdong Army was numerous, it was not the opponent of the first camp.

The first battalion was advancing step by step, but the Jiangdong Army, which had a large number of people, retreated step by step.

Every time they took a step back, someone fell under the lance of the first to ascend the camp.

Gradually, the Jiangdong Army's fighting spirit became lower and lower, and some of the soldiers behind them began to speed up the pace of retreat.

After a glance at the battlefield, he found that the soldiers had lost their will to fight, and the experienced Zhou Tai knew that if he continued to kill, this battle would end in a rout on all fronts.

"Orderly retreat!" Zhou Tai roared, the big knife pushed forward, forced Ju Yi back a little, and rode his horse back.

After receiving the order, the Jiangdong Army accelerated the pace of retreat.

Where they were willing to let them escape, they followed and chased after them.

Seeing that the first camp was chasing far away, worried that they would be surrounded by reinforcements sent by Sun Quan in the depths of their lone army, Cao Shuo ordered Cai Ji: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”

The Chinese army sounded the sound of gold, Ju Yi glanced back, and shouted to the soldiers of the first camp: "Clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat." ”

The so-called clearing of the battlefield in the first camp is to look for the enemy who is still alive.

Regardless of whether it is seriously injured or lightly injured, as long as there is still a breath left, all of them will be stabbed through the heart with a long lance.

Returning to Cao Shuo, Ju Yi clenched his fists and said, "Childe, the enemy army has been repelled by us. ”

"I saw it all." Cao Shuo said: "The first camp really deserves its reputation, and the soldiers have meritorious service in the first battle, and they are all rewarded. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Ju Yi bowed his head and thanked him.

He then shouted to the soldiers who came back from the first battalion: "Soldiers, the son said, you have meritorious service in the first battle, and you will be rewarded!" ”

Hearing Ju Yi's shout, the soldiers of the first camp raised their weapons one after another and let out a burst of cheers.

The soldiers of the other three battalions showed envious looks.

"The enemy army is still very strong, and there is still a lot of fighting ahead." Cao Shuo shouted: "This expedition is a battle and a training for you. As long as you fight bravely, everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious achievements. ”

As soon as he shouted this, the soldiers of the third battalion in envy also cheered.
