Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Tao Qian's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was dejected, and his hair was scattered, as if he was about to enter the ground.

Before he could fight, Tao Qian was exhausted. The previous failure impressed him too deeply.

"My lord," Tao Qian's confidant Cao Hong said cautiously, "Cao Ying's proposal"

"That's right." Tao Qian closed his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "With Cao Bao as the general, Lu Fan and Zhang Min as the deputies, lead 150,000 troops and go to Laiwu." With that, he got up and walked into the back hall.

In the end, it is a hegemon, even if Tao Qian is old, he has to fight, how can he surrender if he doesn't reach the last moment?

Taishan County, Laiwu.

To the north of Laiwu is the Qi Kingdom of Qingzhou. The 100,000 army of Liyi was stationed in Linzi, Qi State.

In order to resist the army of Liyi, Cao Ying united with Tao Qian, two groups of people, a total of 350,000 troops, and successively stationed troops here.

On the side of the Cao army, Xiahou Chun was the main general, Chen Gong was the military division, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, and Yu Ban were the deputy generals, and Cao Chun was a tiger and leopard horseman, totaling 100,000 troops.

On the Tao army's side, Cao Bao was the main general, Cao Hong was the military advisor, and Lu Fan and Zhang Min were the deputies, totaling 150,000 troops.

The Cao army was stationed in the city, and the Tao army was encamped twenty miles outside the city, serving each other as horns and watching each other.

Inside the city, the council chamber.

Xiahou Chun, as the host, sat on the main seat, Chen Gong accompanied him, Cao Bao was on the left, and the rest of the people sat in a row one by one.

"Everyone!"

Xiahou Chun's expression was solemn, and he shouted: "Now that life and death are at stake, although we do not belong to one side, we must work together to fight against the Youzhou Army." Otherwise, life and death are only in the mist! ”

"Not bad!"

Cao Bao also stood up and shouted: "I'll wait for both glory and loss, and we will work together!" After finishing speaking, he gave a fist salute to Cao Ren and said, "Please rest assured General Cao, we will do our best to cooperate if we understand the stakes!" ”

Cao Bao suffered a big loss since the previous time, and the little arrogance in his heart has long been eliminated, and then he stayed in Youzhou for a long time, and there is a great fear of Youzhou in his heart, so he does not dare to compete with Xiahou Chun for the position of the main general. Moreover, although Xiahou Chun was captured together, his ability was finally greater than Cao Bao's, which also made Cao Bao seem to have some reliance in his heart to hide his fear of the Youzhou army.

"Good!" Xiahou Chun was overjoyed, stood up violently, and said, "The generals listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Immediately send a probe horse to search an area of 80 miles and find out the movements of the Koji rebels! Also, defend tightly and wait for Ben's orders! ”

"No!"

Lu Yi, Tian Feng, and Xi Zhicai quickly whipped up from Yuyang and quickly rushed back to Linzi.

At this time, the deputy general Pan Feng had already assembled the army, and a group of important people gathered in the conference hall.

Lu Yi did not give in, strode to the main position, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai sat on the left head and two, and below were Qingzhou Assassin Shi Liu Xuan and Qingzhou an important official.

The first place on the right is Pan Feng and Pan Wushuang, and the first is Taishi Ziyi and a general.

"On the orders of the lord, he commanded the army and attacked Xuzhou. You are all people valued by the lord, and I hope you can work together to help Koji and win this battle! After finishing his words, he picked up a stack of secret newspapers from the table, looked through them carefully, and said: "Now the Xuzhou army is 150,000 and the Cao army is 100,000, with Xiahou Chun and Cao Bao as the main generals, Chen Gong and Cao Hong as military advisors, and troops are stationed in Laiwu. What do you think about this? ”

Tian Feng immediately clenched his fists slightly and said, "The 150,000 army is already the entire strength of Xuzhou. As long as it is defeated, Xuzhou can be defeated. What I mean is that in Laiwu, the Cao and Tao coalition forces will be defeated, and then Xuzhou and Yanzhou will be flattened, let me gallop! ”

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly: "I agree with Brother Yuan Hao's statement." On the occasion of dominating the world, we should defeat the enemy army for the first time with the general trend of righteousness. One boosts morale, and the other intimidates the enemy! ”

Hearing this, Ko Yi bowed his head slightly, and moved his gaze to Pan Feng and Tai Shici.

"We agree with the two military advisors!"

The two of them shook their heads in unison.

"Good!"

Koji Yi laughed: "My Youzhou army has always been dignified and upright on the battlefield, and it is overwhelming!" This time is no exception! ”

"Where is Pan Feng!?"

"The last general!"

"Ling Pan Feng is the vanguard, with 20,000 light horses, take the lead in attacking, and go straight to Laiwu!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Where is Liu Xuan?!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Let Liu Miao be responsible for the logistics of grain and grass escort, there must be no mistakes!"

"No."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yi arched his hand to Tian Feng and said, "I also invite Yuan Hao's military division to sit in Linzi and control the overall situation." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "General Koji can rest assured." ”

"Please accompany the army and give advice to a certain person."

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded yes.

"Tai Shici is with the general, ready to be dispatched at any time!"

"No!"

Pan Feng held the big axe in his hand, took the lead, and galloped in the front. The 20,000 light horsemen behind him were mighty, stretching for miles, and it was hard to see at a glance.

"Report!" Explore the Malay newspaper.

"General, the enemy army has sent many scout horses, and the range has spread to the high mountain realm!"

Pan Feng thought for a moment and shouted: "When you meet the enemy army to explore the horse, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

"No!"

The army galloped all the way and soon passed the mountain.

The mountain is fifty miles south of Linzi. Thirty miles south of the mountain, is the high mountain. After the high mountain, there are 80 miles of land, which is the county seat of Laiwu.

Pan Feng rode very fast, and in less than half an hour, he crossed the high mountain and entered the Laiwu realm.

"I didn't expect there to be no ambush, hehe"

Pan Feng has been tense all the time, because he is afraid that the enemy army will set up ambushes in dangerous areas such as Gaoshan and Fushan in order to be prepared. Who knows, along the way, except for killing a lot of exploration horses, there was no sound.

But Pan Feng did not relax in the slightest.

This battle was not only the first battle for Liu Yuan to dominate the world, but also a key battle for the Xuzhou army and the Cao army. If Youzhou wins this battle, then Xuzhou and Yanzhou will open their doors and let the Youzhou army gallop. If this battle is frustrated, it will greatly damage the morale of the Youzhou army.

So no matter what, Pan Feng can't help but be negligent.

Countless probes sent out their anger, and Pan Feng at the same time slowed down the speed of the army and reduced the consumption of manpower and horsepower.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and a large rain of arrows flew out diagonally, overwhelmingly pouring down on the heads of the troops in front of Pan Fengjun!

When Pan Feng saw this, his expression was slightly relaxed, and he shouted: "Defense!" Counterattack! ”

There was a loud metal clash of sounds, and the soldiers in front of them lowered their heads in unison, let their helmets protect the front door, and at the same time took off the longbow on their backs and put their arrows on the bow!

There was a loud clanging sound, and a rain of crackling arrows fell, piercing the helmets and armor of the warriors, bursting out bursts of sparks, but no one fell off their horses! Only a dozen fighters were shot in the hands and feet and were slightly wounded.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the sound of an order, an even more powerful arrow array flashed with a cold light, like a dark cloud, reflecting back!

Ahhh

Dense screams sounded, but I heard a faint sound of gold, and there was no movement at all.

"Retreated?"

Pan Feng frowned, but his heart tightened.

"Keep going!"

Not far away, in a hidden place, Chen Gong and Xiahou Yuan and a few personal soldiers quietly watched Youzhou ride away.

"Strategist, what's the use of this?" Xiahou Yuan said: "Not only did the Youzhou army lose one person, but it lost hundreds of people by itself, which is not cost-effective!" ”

"Good deal!"

Chen Gong said: "Does the general know about Cao Di's polemic? ”

"Huh?" Xiahou Yuan's eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean?" ”

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!" Chen Gong said categorically: "The Youzhou army is menacing and morale-strong, if it is close to it, it is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone." If you want to win, you must first demoralize them! ”

"So" Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and Shi Li said: "I know the talent of the gentleman!" ”

Xiahou Yuan said in his heart, no wonder Chen Gong has set up many obstacles since here, but it turned out to be the idea of fortifying layer by layer and gradually eroding the morale of Youzhou's forwards!

"For this, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it!"

Pan Feng's army marched all the way, and every mile they traveled was attacked in less than a few miles. or the rain of arrows waiting, or waving the flag and shouting, so that a dry Youzhou warrior is impetuous.

"That's amazing!"

Pan Feng finally understood the enemy's plan.

"But with many obstacles, demoralizing!" Pan Fengxin said: "One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion?" ”

Pan Feng's heart moved, and he laughed: "Come on, pass on the generals." ”

With that, Pan Feng ordered the army to slow down and ride his horse to the side of the road. In a few moments, the generals above the commander of the thousand horsemen arrived at his side.

Pan Feng then revealed the enemy's tricks and said: "Since the enemy plans like this, if you don't plan like this, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy first!" ”

When the generals under his command heard this, they immediately smiled, and immediately received the order.

In a moment, the light cavalry brigade of 20,000 people suddenly seemed to have lost the edge of destroying everything, became dull, and lost its indomitable momentum!

In the next few attacks, the counterattack became less and less vigorous, and even later, there was no counterattack at all. Especially the troops in front were lazy and lazy, and the formation of the company was a little scattered.

Chen Gong was overjoyed when he saw this, and said, "It's done!" ”

Xiahou Yuan rubbed his hands and hurriedly ordered, preparing to gather a large army in front of him to block the 20,000 Youzhou cavalry here. Win the first victory and defeat the invincible Youzhou Iron Cavalry.

"Report!"

Tan Ma Fei reported: "General Pan, there are a large number of troops gathered ten miles ahead, and the number is no less than 50,000!" ”

"Probe!"

Pan Feng's face was straight, and his eyes were shining: "Where is the herald?!" ”

"Order, the whole army has it, ready to fight!"

With the military order handed down, the 20,000 troops quickly gathered in front, the speed became faster and faster, when the enemy army formation appeared in sight, 20,000 light cavalry suddenly changed formation, divided into two, each crossed an arc, and outflanked the enemy's two wings!

Xiahou Yuan saw the enemy army appear, his eyes narrowed, and the command flag in his hand waved, and in a moment, the drum rumbled, shaking the heavens and the earth! The infantry of the Chinese army immediately stepped forward, erected a large iron shield, and the swords and guns were unsheathed, and the cold light flickered.

But suddenly, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry was divided into two, which made Xiahou Yuan stunned, and his complexion changed suddenly.

"Not good!"

I want to change formations, but it's too late!

Chen Gong and the two of them turned white: "What's the matter?" What's going on?! ”

"The enemy's spirit is not diminished, is the strategy ineffective? That's impossible?! ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

I only heard a loud shout, and the two cavalry fired their bows at the same time!

Boom boom

The sound is crisp and clear, and it can be counted!

Buzz

Like a swarm of bees, on the left and right, two arrows rained down like dark clouds.

In an instant, there were countless casualties!

"Quick! Cao Chun, Cao Chun! Xiahou Yuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "The tiger and leopard ride out to block the cavalry on the right!" ”

Cao Chun got the order, and with a wave of the big gun, the tiger and leopard cavalry shot out in an instant, and went straight to the right Pan Feng personally led the cavalry.

On the left flank, Lu Fan's Xuzhou army was shot by a rain of arrows and cried for his father.

"Steady! Steady! ”

Lu Fan was shocked, and while shouting, he contracted the formation.

Boom boom

Another rain of arrows fell, and the ground was empty in an instant.

"Ride and shoot! Ride and shoot! ”

The Youzhou army shouted, their morale skyrocketed, and pieces of arrows rained down desperately, killing Lu Fan on the left wing was a rout!
