Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arrows Like Flying Locusts

"Mr. Tu, what can you do to deal with Cao Cao when you brought us to the school?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhang Fei took over the conversation: "I heard that Cao Cao's pioneer is his 30,000 tiger battalion, second only to his world's sharp tigers and leopards."

I smiled: "Uncle Liu doesn't need to panic, you'll know when you arrive."

Our school yard in Dongying is very large, and at the moment the monkey is leading these soldiers to train. We have equipment, we have supplies.

The grain and grass were all transported by ship by Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and everything was ready.

Liu Bei and his party came to the school and didn't find anything special.

Guan Yu, who hadn't spoken much, touched his long beard and asked, "How did you defeat Cao Cao?" Just train like this, rely on this army of more than 10,000 people, and defeat Cao Cao's Tiger Army? ”

I didn't answer, I looked at Liu Bei: "Uncle Liuhuang, no matter how much we train, we can't fight against Cao Cao's Tiger Army." It's a flat place, and there's no perfect place for an ambush. Only in close combat with Cao Cao can there be a chance of victory. ”

Zhao Yun couldn't bear it anymore: "I fought with Cao Cao in Changbanpo, what did you mean by bringing us to this school, and what methods do you have to deal with Cao Cao?"

I looked at Zhao Yun and hugged my fists: "I have heard that Zhao Zilong is brave for a long time, and Tu admires it." I turned to look at Liu Bei: "Uncle Liuhuang, if you want to deal with Cao Cao, you still need to borrow someone."

"You mean Zilong?" Liu Bei was obviously reluctant.

I nodded, "Exactly."

"This ......" Zhao Zilong is Liu Bei's general, especially Changbanpo's seven in and seven out, which makes Liu Bei feel his ability.

I smiled: "A gentleman does not win people's love." In the next order, Zhao Yun only fought against Cao Cao's vanguard, and after this battle, General Zhao would naturally return Uncle Liu. ”

Zhao Yun was happy, he hugged his fists: "Okay!" As long as you defeat Cao Cao's vanguard. Zhao Yun is willing to listen to you. ”

Liu Bei was still uneasy: "Zilong is a fierce general, Mr. Tu must not let him be alone again."

"Lord, it's okay. Zilong is fearless! ”

I smiled: "There is no need to worry about this, Uncle Liu Huang, you see, this is my way to deal with Cao Cao."

I'm referring to the soldiers who are being trained by the monkeys on the school grounds.

Deal with Cao Cao's vanguard cavalry. My strategy is to flank back and forth.

I saw the monkey order flag waving......

Somewhere in Jiangxia. I waited with a team of 5,000 men for the arrival of Cao Cao's vanguard. It is a plain, with only one hill on the left.

I put a thousand shield-bearers in front, and five hundred crossbowmen behind. Further behind were the tank battalions and infantry brigades.

"Report!" The spy rode a war horse and galloped: "Tell the general that Cao's troops are less than three miles away."

In fact, the spies don't say it, we can see it.

"Prepare for war!" I shouted.

"Ho!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and the Cao army was strong, and they roared and ran. Cavalry, good at attacking with speed, came to Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao.

The enemy was very red when he saw him. It was this guy who killed Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang, Hammer, and Xiaojuan.

Zhang Liao probably felt funny when he saw our stupid formation. He galloped with a cavalry regiment.

If nothing else, just the impact of this cavalry. The thousand shields in front of us have to be targeted.

I think I'm the first person in history who dares to use an array shield against a cavalry charge.

Seeing Zhang Liao's cavalry rushing over, I waved my hand, and the herald behind me beat the drum.

"Knock knock......" Suddenly, dozens of human heads sprang out from both sides of the road. It was a bunker that I had my soldiers dig up and cover it with thatched soil.

The soldiers who jumped out of cover unfolded the ropes in their hands and stumbled.

The tripping horse consisted of two or even several soldiers each holding one end of the rope. Ropes are laid across the road and buried with fine soil. Soldiers were also buried on both sides of the road. When Cao Cao's cavalry came, our heralds gave the signal.

The stumbling rope blocked the middle of the road, and Cao Cao's cavalry was unable to catch up. Dozens of horses in front of them were tripped in an instant, and these war horses were originally running, but they were stopped at this moment and fell into dust.

These well-trained Cao troops were extremely brave, and they rolled down. Raise your saber and come at us.

Our shieldmen quickly dodged a gap, and the crossbowmen shot their arrows at the Cao army like flying locusts.

Zhuge Repeater, this is the magic weapon we used to fight this time.

Frankly speaking, this Zhuge Repeater battlefield is of little use. First, the weapon is so powerful that it can't even penetrate a soldier's armor, except at close range. Moreover, the distance is far away, the arrow is fluttering, and after the shot is in the body, it has no strength. Second, this weapon is cumbersome to make. At the current level, we have only made more than 1,000 handfuls, which is far from being in short supply.

The cavalry saw that the soldiers in front of them who had been thrown down by the tripping horse rope were already whining, and some of them were hit by the crossbow and did not die for a while, rolling and howling in the ground. Our shield-bearers rushed forward, and the sword-and-axe men behind him followed to give him the account.

Cao Jun suffered a loss of crossbow in Guancheng. Zhang Liao then shouted for retreat, and had to admire Zhang Liao's strict management of the army. When Cao's army retreated, it was still in order, and we couldn't catch up with these cavalry at all.

Just then, an army turned out from behind the hillside. is the first white-robed general, Zhao Yun.

Zhang Liao had seen Zhao Zilong's reputation, and he saw that Zhao Yun was going to intercept him from behind. I couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good, this was to attack him back and forth.

"Withdraw!" Although Zhang Liao's army was defeated, this was not a small ambush. Their cavalry was so fast that we couldn't catch up at all.

On the west side was a hill, and I blocked Zhang Liao on the south side, and Zhao Yun led a team of men and horses to cut off his retreat on the north side.

Zhang Liao can completely scatter Zhao Yun, after all, his cavalry advantage is obvious, but he is afraid that he will be surrounded by the army to the south of me.

So Zhang Liao led the army to break through from the east side, he was probably thinking. I have never encountered such a stupid commander, and the ambush actually emptied the east side. Zhang Liao's cavalry troops all withdrew to the east and turned south.

Zhang Liao has a big appetite, and he doesn't want to retreat. Instead, they want to take advantage of the superiority in numbers and cavalry to counter-encircle us. No wonder Cao Cao is so powerful, and the generals under him can all be extraordinary.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! "Countless arrows came from the east side. Dense, covering the sky and the sun, Zhang Liao was fooled after all.

"Not good! What a treacherous Sun Liu! Zhang Liao shouted.

But after all, it was too late, and the bureau we set up was to let Zhang Liao's cavalry rush to the east. Sure enough, he fell for it.

On the east side, in addition to my 5,000 people, there are also 3,000 people of Zhao Yun. The remaining 7,000 people were all led by monkeys.

These 7,000 men did not carry any weapons, this is my rule. I mean they didn't carry broadswords and spears, and I ordered them to carry only bows and arrows, and no other weapons.

The purpose of this was to let these archers know that Cao Jun could not be allowed to move forward. Because once the cavalry rushed over, and fought at close range, these archers had no defensive weapons and could only be slaughtered.

In order to prevent the cavalry of the Cao army from rushing in, the 7,000 archers led by the monkey were like flying locusts. Dense arrows covered the sky and shot towards Zhang Liao's cavalry.

This is seventy percent of the archers of the entire Sun-Liu coalition army, and they were all brought by me. Zhang Liao's 30,000 cavalry, thousands of them were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
