After Yu Ban left, Zang Ba said to Tian Jing with a sad face, "Virtuous nephew, Uncle Shi also knows your good intentions to defend Langya, but this Yu Ban is the general under Cao Cao who is the best at marching troops and training soldiers. ”

Tian Jing smiled, "Uncle Shi doesn't have to be worried, the reason why I have this proposal is so that Yu Ban can agree." Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info let him refine the army formation, my reserve Bai Ma Yicong will definitely let him not find a bargain. Since Uncle Shi is worried about this, why don't you go to the military field to watch the demonstration of the soldiers and horses under my command? ”

Although Zang Ba was a little skeptical, seeing that Tian Jing was so confident, he was interested in his reserve Bai Ma Yi. "In that case, I'd rather open my eyes."

When he arrived at the teaching field, Tian Jing asked Li Kang, Leping, and Lu Qilin to lead a hundred cavalry to demonstrate the formation, and at the same time practiced the tactical actions of cavalry archery, charging, breaking the formation, and encircling and annihilating. Zang Ba high-fived and praised after reading it, "I don't want my nephew to be able to train such a strong soldier at such a young age, and his achievements in the future are limitless." ”

Tian Jing accepted the flag and said to Zang Ba, "Shi Bo praised it, this is the reserve white horse righteous servant trained by the master for Gongsun Zhan back then, I just learned some fur from the master." If my master Zhao Yun is here, this cavalry can be ten with one. I can't wait for it, and I only dare to let Yu Ban send a hundred people to compete, if there are too many people, I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with it. ”

Zang Ba saw that Tian Jing was so modest, and said with a smile, "Virtuous nephews don't have to be too modest, I think you can only be in the future, and you will definitely not be under your teacher." This time I tried with Yu Ban, I think it was a win. It's just that I don't know anything, you and Yu Ban only let him retreat thirty miles, and after Cao Cao breaks through Tancheng, he will come back to the competition. Could it be that there is another clever plan to retreat from the enemy? ”

Tian Jing smiled, "No, I just want to delay time, if my estimate is right, Cao Cao's Chen soldiers will be unstable for a long time, and the chaotic life will be when Cao Cao retreats." ”

When Zang Ba heard this, he said, "I see. But I still don't fully believe it in my heart, this is all Tian Jing's speculation, if the prediction is wrong, it is not a hard battle. I should still strengthen my defensive preparation.

Early in the morning of the third day, Yu Ban led a thousand soldiers and horses to line up outside the city, and the one hundred elite troops he selected were already waiting in front of the battle, Yu Ban didn't know how Tian Jing sent troops, so he sent forty spearmen, forty sword and shield men, and twenty archers. And taking into account hand-to-hand combat, these men were armed with leather armor, and the archers were equipped with short knives.

Tian Jing and Zang Ba are also ready, Tian Jing led a hundred reserve white horses to go out of the battle, and Zang Ba led a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to watch the enemy for Tian Jing.

Yu Ban saw that Tian Jing's leaders were all cavalry, and his brows furrowed, "Tian Jing, the day before yesterday, I met with 100 people to test the formation and martial arts, and you used all the cavalry to be reasonable?" ”

Tian Jing smiled, "General Yu is invited, under the command of Sun Zhan, the assassin of Youzhou, the reserve Bai Ma Yi from other Sima, and the subordinates are naturally cavalry." If the general has any doubts, he might as well replace these 100 people and reshoot the soldiers and horses, I believe that the people of the world will never say that the general has gone back on his word. ”

When Tian Jing said this, Yu Ban couldn't refute it, after all, he hadn't said before that he couldn't use cavalry. And what he is best at is the infantry formation, if he temporarily changes to some immediate generals, he may not be able to give full play to the advantages of the formation. And seeing that the cavalry led by Tian Jing is only a teenager dolls, if there are substitutions against them, it will not make the world laugh in vain. What's more, he sent forty spearmen, and he believed that he would not suffer a loss against the cavalry. "That's it, Ben Shuai doesn't care about your doll. Now that the time has come, may the two sides start competing? ”

Tian Jing is better than banning and regretting it, so he responded generously, "Since this is the case, of course you can start the competition." It's just that only the two of us know about the meeting the day before yesterday, so many people are present today, Tian Jing wants to ask General Yu Ban, if I am lucky today, General Yu will be able to abide by the agreement of retreating for thirty miles, and Tancheng will not break or attack Kaiyang? ”

Yu Bandao, "That's nature, if you lose, don't forget to return to Tancheng." Whether General Zang Ba submits to my lord or not, the two of us have to discuss. ”

"Okay, let's get started." Tian Jing said, quit the military formation. Waving the flag 100 meters away.

Yu Ban looked at it and snickered, this matter is enough for my subordinate army. Since returning to the main formation, he led a thousand soldiers and horses to the formation, in case there were any tricks on Tian Jing's side.

Yu Ban's phalanx spearmen were in the front, sword and shield hands were in the middle, and archers were second. The pace is neat and steady. Tian Jing's banner waved, the formation changed sharply, and two teams of men and horses were divided from the formation, each pair of 20 people attacked in a cone, and began to release arrows 100 meters in front of the enemy's formation, and fired three shots at the enemy, and the arrows rained down.

Yu Ban's phalanx didn't expect that the other party seemed to be a teenage doll, but his kung fu was amazing. Without paying attention at first, multiple people in the front row were hit by arrows. But the marquis who led the army was also experienced, and immediately ordered the spearmen to disperse, and the sword and shield hands stepped forward to block the bows and arrows. But as soon as the sword and shield men stepped forward, they saw these cavalrymen collect their bows and arrows, and put on a posture of raising their spears and charging. Yu Ban's spearmen were well-trained, and immediately stood in the gap and stretched out the spear from behind the shield of the sword and shield hand. The twenty archers in the back row of Cao's army had already drawn their bows and arrows, but the enemy's horses were too fast, and when the arrows were fired, the horses were already close to the front. Cao Jun's spearman clenched the spear in his hand, and waited for Tian Jing's cavalry to rush up, at that time, as long as the spear blocked the horse, the sword and shield hand could fight in close combat.

But Tian Jing's cavalry did not give them a chance, and at the moment when the horse was about to collide with the spear, the cavalry suddenly changed direction and made a detour back along both sides of the phalanx.

This time, Cao Jun was a little stunned, he had never seen such a well-controlled cavalry, and it was really because of whether or not to change the formation, the cavalry on both sides of the detour collected their spears and bows and shot a round of arrows, and many of these Cao soldiers were injured. The Marquis of Cao Jun ordered the sword and shield men to retreat to both sides, but as soon as the formation moved, he found that the Youzhou cavalry, who had been standing by, and two pairs of men and horses rushed towards the formation.

Yu Ban, who was watching the enemy from behind, was also a little anxious, but he didn't expect Tian Jing's cavalry to have such a strange way of fighting, and ordered people to shout, "Form a circle." When the Marquis of Cao Jun heard this, he quickly ordered the soldiers below to change their formation. Thus a small circle was formed at once, with the sword and shield men on the outside, the spearmen on the inside, and the archers in the center to concentrate on the second group of cavalry that rushed in.

However, the enemy's two teams of cavalry did not approach at all this time, but only fired at a distance on the periphery, and the enemy cavalry was very flexible, so they shot arrows in circles around the circle. The drills in the formation kept changing positions with the rotation of the cavalry, and if they were not careful, someone would be hit by an arrow, and the soldiers in the formation were tired of coping. Tian Jing's last cavalry also moved. The biggest difference between this group of cavalry was that the knights on the horses were much stronger than the other cavalrymen, the spears in their hands were half as long as ordinary cavalry spears, and the horses were covered with armor on their chests. This was the first cavalry used for charging in Tian Jing's experiment, of course, they were much worse equipped than the heavy cavalry of later generations, but they were still confident in breaking through the phalanx of infantry.

Due to the confusion and distance of the battlefield, Cao's infantry did not notice the difference in this last group of cavalry. When they rushed closer, they found it too late. When the spears of the cavalry pierced into the body of the spearmen, their spears were still a few feet away from the horse's head, and it was these few feet that the death was decided.

Tian Jing's cavalry broke through the defensive line at once and tore open. At this time, Cao Jun's circle formation had lost its meaning. They were in disarray, and the spearmen and sword and shield men, who had lost their command, all pounced on the cavalry that had just rushed into the formation. However, these cavalrymen were well-trained, and quickly abandoned the extended spears just now, and took off the spare short spears to fight with Cao's army. And the cavalry that was on the periphery just now quickly joined the battle group, basically a situation where two cavalry surrounded and killed one infantry.

Yu Ban saw this and knew that this battle would be lost. Immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Tian Jing saw Yu Ban Mingjin, and knew that this time it was just a competition, and it would be useless to kill Cao Jun more, and if he angered Yu Ban, it would be self-defeating. So he raised the banner, let the cavalry out of the battle, and pat his horse forward to talk to Yu Ban.

Yu Ban gathered the defeated soldiers, killed thirty-one in battle, twelve were seriously wounded, and the rest were slightly wounded. Looking at it again, the cavalry on Tian Jing's side basically had no casualties. Although it was a foot and cavalry match, Tian Jingshi won on the formation and the scheduling of the formation, and he was convinced. "General Tian, Yu has no way to govern the army, and he has been defeated this time."

Tian Jing saw that Yu Ban was an open-minded person, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, and he is not rigid. I had a good impression of it, thinking that this person would be able to make friends in the future. hugged his fists, "General Yu's corporal is really a strong soldier, and he just takes advantage of the horse's speed." After today's war, I believe that we will not break our promise, but I think it is best that our two families can not fight. If there is a chance in the future, Tian Jing is willing to have a good time with General Yu. ”

Yu Ban didn't think that he would be defeated, but if he was defeated, he would admit defeat, and there was no way to retreat for thirty miles. He and prepared to write his own battle report and ask Cao Cao for his guilt. "If General Tian is willing to return to the account of Duke Cao in the future, Yu Ban will naturally have a good drink with you. Defeated today, Yu Ban should keep his promise. Somewhere go also. "Let's go back to the camp with a fist. He led a thousand men back to the camp. Then he pulled out the camp and retreated thirty miles.

Tian Jing and Zang Ba led the troops back to the city. Zang Ba set up a wine to celebrate, and said to Tian Jing at the banquet, "The cavalry of the virtuous nephew really does not lose the name of the white horse. Today, in the forbidden army, at least within a month, I Langya can sit back and relax, and the virtuous nephew will be rewarded by the history of Tao Thorn in the future, which is gratifying. ”

Tian Jing smiled, "I am a guest army, if Cao Jun retreats, he will return to Qingzhou with Tian Kai, and then return to Youzhou to resume his life." This work of collecting Langya is all the great help of the master, and Tao Qian's reward will naturally go to the master. ”

Zang Ba smiled, "My Zang Ba is a rough man, and now I am Langya Taishou, and I am also the captain of the cavalry, Tao Qian can still give me a Xuzhou thorn history if he rewards me again." However, why don't you consider staying in Xuzhou, I heard that Gongsun Chan was beaten by Yuan Shao in Youzhou, and Youzhou is bitterly cold and sparsely populated, unlike Xuzhou, which is rich. The virtuous nephew has these 600 cavalry, if he is in Xuzhou, he is not afraid of not being reused by Tao Qian. ”

Tian Jing thought to himself, in fact, it's not that I don't want to stay in Xuzhou at all, it's just that Tao Qian and Liu Bei will not be able to take it in the future. said to Zang Ba, "Uncle Shi has good intentions, Tian Jing understands it, but his parents are still in Youzhou, and Tian Jing does not dare to bear the name of unfilial piety." In the future, Youzhou will really change its form, and Tian Jing will come to his uncle. ”

Zang Ba also saw that Tian Jing had other plans in his heart, and it was difficult to say it, "Since everyone has their own ambitions, it is not easy for the master to say much." By the way, today in the forbidden retreat, I don't know how long the Tancheng side can hold on? ”

Tian Jing said domineeringly to Zang, "After Tancheng has been difficult to attack for a long time, Cao Cao will divide his troops to attack the counties." Master but relax. In my opinion, the day when Cao Cao will retire is not far off. ”
