At this time, it is already a hundred summers, and the surrounding fields are green.

Occasionally, there are some small trees waving in the wind.

The terrain here is indeed very smooth, looking towards Luoyang, there is endless green.

In fact, from the Tiger Prison Pass to the direction of Luoyang, there are still some rolling mountains along the way. It's just that the mountains go from high to low, slowly urging them to level out until they are endless.

If it is said that in the area near the Tiger Prison Pass, there are no ambushes of the New Han Army, then after leaving the area of the Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that there is not much meaning in talking about the ambushes. Where you can see at a glance, what kind of soldiers are ambushed?

However, now, this Cao army of 100,000 horses, although they can't see a single soldier of the New Han Army for the time being, but looking at the dense iron thistle array blocking the road in front of them, they all feel chills in their hearts and their scalps are numb.

One by one, they were stunned, and for a while, they didn't know what to do, and they twisted their heads towards Zhang He and Cao Ren's flags.

"What's going on?" Zhang He was a little flustered and said to Cao Ren beside him: "Could it be that this is the thistle terrestris that was deliberately scattered to prevent our army from attacking Luoyang when the New Han Army fled to Luoyang?" ”

"No, it's impossible, you know, although this is the road, but all around here, there are plains, and we can completely bypass it." Cao Ren also felt a little numb, and his heart couldn't suppress a wild beat.

In his heart, he had an extremely bad feeling, feeling that this could not be the large array of thistles that the New Han Army had no intention of withdrawing to block their way, it was obvious. It should be intentional by the New Han Army.

"Listen! What is the sound? ”

Zhang He's color changed suddenly, put his hand to his ear, and listened to the side.

"Huh? There seems to be movement here, too! Cao Ren's face. He suddenly turned pale, bent his hand to his ear, and listened to the other side.

Knock knock knock......

They didn't need to listen to it, but the sound of the war drums, which seemed to hit the depths of their hearts, had reached their ears very clearly.

Rumble......

Rumble......

Then, a rumbling sound came, as if countless war drums were beating at the same time.

"Cavalry!"

"It's the cavalry of the New Han Army!"

"Oh my God. So much? How so! ”

……

For a time, these 100,000 Cao troops, even if they were the elite of Cao Jun. Even if they are also experienced in a hundred battles, but at this moment, they can't help but feel a little panicked.

Saw. In front of him, there was a large array of black and pressed thistles blocking the way. On both sides of their great army, as if from the distant horizon, a black line had been drawn, and this black line, very long, pressed horizontally against them.

"Not good! It's the cavalry attack of the New Han Army! Fall back! Fall back! ”

Zhang He was the first to react, after all, he had more experience in escaping than Cao Ren, and. He had more dealings with the New Han Army. He understood very well that if the New Han Army did not fight, it would be defeated. A certain offensive battle must be like a raging storm, making people powerless to resist.

However, Cao Ren's reaction was different from Zhang He's, and he almost ordered Zhang He: "Formation!" Forming a formation to meet the enemy, our prime minister's army, just behind, this time should have left the Tiger Prison Pass to rush here, we are here to fight with the new Han army, as long as the formation to meet the enemy, they can't help us for a while, so, as long as our prime minister's army is killed, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”

When the two generals heard their orders almost at the same time, but the meaning was the opposite, they couldn't help but look at each other, and in an instant, there seemed to be a spark in the eyes of the two generals. It seems that they are all dissatisfied with each other's orders.

"Nope! Fall back! ”

"Nope! Formation! ”

The two generals said to each other almost at the same time.

The military situation is urgent, whether to withdraw or the enemy, there must always be a charter, but the orders of the two generals made Cao Jun at a loss for a while, and in addition, the cavalry of the New Han Army in the distance seemed to be approaching a little, which suddenly made Cao Cao's 100,000 soldiers have a feeling of restlessness and soreness. Is it war or flight?

However, the Cao army was well-trained, and when their commander had not yet set a unanimous order, they could still hold on, and they could still hold on to it if they did not flee in a panic.

"Zhang He, I respect your martial arts and bravery, and I know that you are both wise and brave, but I look down on your courage a little!" Cao Ren hurriedly said: "Our Cao army, when have you ever been afraid of the New Han Army?" Now, seeing the New Han Army, how can there be any reason to retreat without a fight? What's more, the New Han Army has lost Liu Yi and has lost a leader, and they are attacking us now, just dying and struggling. What's more, such an attack by theirs is tantamount to a head-on confrontation with us, what is there to be afraid of? War! ”

"Cao Ren, you don't know the strength of the New Han Army, now, while the New Han Army is at least killing from both sides of a few miles away, we are now retreating in a hurry to join the Prime Minister's army, even if the tail of our army formation will be caught up by them, but most of our soldiers can still escape safely. If you form a formation here, it will be a dead end. Is our military formation the enemy of the cavalry of the New Han Army? Are you trying to think that our soldiers are not dying fast enough? ”

"What's more, the New Han Army has trebuchets and bed crossbows......"

"Phew!"

Cao Ren turned his head and laughed, interrupting Zhang He's words and said, "Zhang He, it is estimated that you were scared by Liu Yi and still trebuchet?" Also bed crossbow? Open your eyes and see for yourself, where can we get our long-range attack weapons in the range of our naked eye? I, Cao Ren, don't believe that their New Han Army can pull those heavy trebuchets and bed crossbows to the sides of our army formation now! ”

"General Cao Ren......"

"Needless to say!" Cao Ren ordered: "Soldiers, who have we Cao Jun ever been afraid of? No matter how strong their Xinhan army is, no matter how brave Liu Yi is, he will not be killed by us? Hasn't the New Han Army been defeated by us yet? Even the Tiger Prison Pass at the east gate of the Luoyang capital of the New Han Dynasty, which is known as the Tiger Prison Pass of the world's first male pass, has been broken by us, and we still need to be afraid that these New Han troops who have already lost the battle under our hands? To remember. At this moment, we are attacking the New Han Dynasty, not being attacked by them. Now, we are on the way to the New Han Dynasty. So, the whole army listens to the order! No one is allowed to take half a step back and form a formation on the spot. Eight doors of golden lock array, move! ”

This 100,000 Cao army, most of which are Cao army. They are all Cao Ren's headquarters military horses, and the rest are not Cao Ren's headquarters military horses. All of them have gone through Cao Ren's command and training for a period of time.

Therefore, emotionally, the soldiers of Cao Jun are more willing to obey Cao Ren's orders. After all. Zhang He is just Yuan Shaofang's general. Emotionally, it's a lot more important.

As soon as Cao Ren's order was given, Cao Jun immediately moved.

I have to say that Cao Jun is indeed quite strong, and with Cao Ren's encouragement, the morale of Fang Jun, which had just stagnated, was immediately raised.

Cao Ren was indeed right, they had just defeated the New Han Army in a row. The New Han Army fled like a lost dog, and even the New Han Dynasty could not afford to lose the Tiger Pass. They have all fallen into the hands of their Cao army. Also, Cao Ren reiterated that Cao Cao had personally led the army, not far behind their military formation. As long as they confronted the cavalry of the New Han Army for a while, Cao Cao's army would be killed. When the time comes, it will be their chance to counterattack and defeat the New Han army.

What's more, Cao Ren also said what they thought, they are now, but they are attacking the New Han Dynasty, and they can't see such a dignified attack and charge of the New Han Army, they will be timid, they will not dare to fight, so they can only flee with their heads in their hands. This is not Cao Jun's character.

Zhang He saw that Cao Jun had obeyed Cao Ren's orders, and knew that it was useless to talk more, and besides, he was suspected of affecting the morale of the army.

He sighed silently and said to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, the attack of the New Han Army is invincible, and the victory or defeat will be determined in a battle, not that I pour cold water, I Zhang He, I have never heard of it, under the charge of the New Han Army, which opponent can have a chance to survive." ”

"Woo! There are exceptions to everything, and our mission is to destroy Liu Yi and the New Han Dynasty. Let's fight! Let me wait and see what is so powerful about the fall of the New Han Army! ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then Zhang will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and fight the New Han Army with you!" Zhang He replied a little helplessly.

……

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the New Han Army was killed.

Cao Ren didn't know that his decision directly killed the 100,000 Cao army.

The cavalry of the New Han Army that attacked from a distance on both sides was the cavalry of the 100,000 aliens led by Liu Yi before.

Well, of course, the strength of the cavalry of the New Han Army is naturally less than 100,000.

Cao Jun, or Cao Cao, was very unlucky.

You must know that before, led by Lan Ji, the young and strong cavalry of the entire desert alien race was gathered to form a cavalry army of 100,000 to follow Liu Yi to conquer the world.

These 100,000 cavalry troops did not just form these 100,000 horses. Rather, it is the cavalry of these 100,000 minority nationalities, which is a cavalry army of 100,000 aliens formed by selecting their most elite sons from among many alien cavalry.

However, when the soldiers were selected and the cavalry army was formed, it was formed in the state, and the cavalry of those aliens who were not selected were still stranded in the state for the time being. For the time being, he has not returned to the desert.

Therefore, when Xun Yu knew about this situation, he immediately ordered Xin Bi, the assassin of the state, and urgently recruited the cavalry of those aliens with 100,000 of his 100,000 people. In just one day, an alien cavalry army of 100,000 horses was once again formed.

As soon as the cavalry was formed, it was immediately transferred to Luoyang, obeyed Xun Yu's order, transferred to the battlefield, and participated in the attack on Cao's army.

With more than 100,000 alien cavalry, Xun Yu felt that it was better to be safe, and not let the Cao army enter the territory of the New Han Dynasty to attack the city and plunder the land after seizing the Tiger Pass, so he unexpectedly thought of directly using the attack of pure cavalry to defeat and annihilate the Cao army in one fell swoop. For this reason, he deliberately drew cavalry from the various armies of the New Han Army near Luoyang and joined the long-range attack on Cao's army.

As a matter of fact.

Even Cao Cao may have somewhat ignored the question of the actual strength of the New Han army.

From the very beginning, he seemed to think that as long as Liu Yi had an accident, the New Han Army would not be worried. Especially the 200,000 New Han troops outside the Tiger Prison Pass, his Cao army will definitely eat this military horse.

However, in reality, Cao Cao did not do much harm to the 200,000 New Han troops, after they withdrew to the Tiger Prison Pass. Immediately formed an army and hid.

It can be said that Cao Cao at the beginning. It was planned to destroy the 200,000 New Han troops outside the Tiger Prison Pass first, so that he could really say that he would attack Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty with superior forces.

However, as soon as the war broke out, Cao Cao subconsciously saw the hasty defeat of the New Han army. Ignore the 200,000 New Han troops.

Now, the New Han Army, 200,000 people and horses who accompanied Liu Yibing out of the Tiger Prison. With the addition of the defenders of Tiger Pass, there are almost 250,000 men and horses here. And what about the 100,000 defenders of Luoyang? And what about the local garrisons? And what about the New Han Army transferred from Wancheng? Also, what about the newly formed 100,000 alien cavalry?

Arguably. The New Han Dynasty really never lacked troops.

It seems to be the strength of the New Han Dynasty. Scattered on various battlefields, but when the real fight started, the New Han Dynasty could be said to have as many troops as it wanted.

In this way, Cao Cao dispatched these hundreds of thousands of military horses, but in fact, it was just a draw with the New Han army, and even at a disadvantage.

Right now. Its 100,000 military horses were attacked by more than 200,000 cavalry of the New Han Army. Moreover. Behind the cavalry, there were also infantry troops that were rapidly advancing.

This time. Xun Yu didn't plan to use those trebuchets or bed crossbows anymore. Just use a small object like a rank tribulus terrestris to block Cao Jun's way, and then, directly outflank Cao Jun from both sides, and fight a dignified decisive battle with Cao Jun.

Of course, that's it, Cao Ren has a good feeling.

You know, what are the alien cavalry most proficient in? That's loite!

Now, there are at least 100,000 foreign cavalry, equipped with the elite bows of the New Han army.

Soon, the cavalry of the New Han Army on both sides had already killed two miles away on both sides of Cao Ren's army array.

At this time, Cao Ren's army formation had also been arranged, and he thought that with his own military formation, even if the cavalry of the New Han Army came in, they could inflict heavy losses on the cavalry of the New Han Army and resist their charge.

He had already ordered the scouts, Pegasus to hurry behind, report the enemy situation to Cao Cao, and ask Cao Cao to lead a large army to join the battle. In this way, you can destroy the New Han Army in one fell swoop, these military horses that are still resisting, as long as these cavalry troops are destroyed, Luoyang will really be at your fingertips.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

Soon, Cao Ren was in pain.

The cavalry's charge speed was really fast.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the New Han Army, which is like a rainbow, is like two walls pressing towards the middle, or a huge wave, with a momentum soaring into the sky.

However, the real situation did not happen, as Cao Ren imagined, the seemingly indomitable cavalry of the New Han Army would rush to the front of their military formation at high speed.

The cavalry of the New Han Army, instead, rushed to the point where they were still about 500 paces away from their army formation, and there were obvious signs of slowing down.

When they were two or three hundred paces closer to their formation, the cavalry of the New Han Army killed on both sides stopped in an instant as if they had suddenly encountered an invisible wall.

It's a surprising situation.

Cao Jun was a little afraid to imagine that the crowd of cavalry of the New Han Army, which seemed to be densely killed, could suddenly stop, and a piece of cavalry that was charging behind could also be stopped in time, and almost nothing happened to collide with the cavalry in front of him.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you're surprised, what makes them thrilling. Between the cavalry on both sides, it suddenly seemed like a wind and waves on the flat ground, and a black and oppressive arrow was thrown at once.

The cavalry's projectile was different from the salvo of a normal bow and arrow array. Comparatively speaking, it is a bit cluttered.

Especially the arrows that flew into the sky, they were high and low, vertical and horizontal, and they didn't all look like they were shooting in one direction.

However, these bows and arrows seem to be more powerful than a large salvo of bows and arrows, because these arrows, as if they have eyes, go straight to the face of Cao's army. There are few like the bows and arrows of the infantry of the New Han Army, where a single shot is a piece, depending on luck, to see how many enemies can be killed under the rain of arrows.

The cavalry of these aliens, all of them were aimed at people. At this point, the average archers of the New Han Army are still really inferior to the archery skills of aliens.

It is also true that the nomads outside the Seychelles are known as a people on horseback.

This, it's not that they are really all archers, everyone can kill a Cao soldier with one arrow.

But, in general, ten arrows, or even dozens of arrows, can always hurt one Cao Bing, right? This is equivalent to dozens of people aiming at one person to shoot.

So, in this round, there will be at least 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry to release arrows, right? A round of arrows will go down, and in the dense Cao soldiers' army array, at least thousands of Cao soldiers will fall to the ground and die tragically.

Under such a bow and arrow attack, all the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was in vain.

What's more, this is still a long-range attack on them from both sides?

The cavalry of the New Han Army, they did not radiate an arrow, their current cavalry, after shooting an arrow, would go forward and sideways, while following the Cao army's military formation, riding parallel to the direction of the Tiger Pass, while constantly firing arrows at the Cao army.

With this style of play, Cao Jun really complained bitterly, and was beaten to the point of crying his father and mother.

They, not to say that there are no archers, not that there are no cavalry.

But how many archers can they have, even if you count half of them as fifty thousand. However, the range of the bow and arrow of the New Han Army is indeed farther than theirs, which dooms them to be passively beaten. As long as the cavalry of the New Han Army is far out of the range of the Cao Army's bow and arrows, then the Cao Army will not be able to help the cavalry of the New Han Army at all.

The cavalry moved quickly, and Cao's army could not catch up.

Well, among Cao's army, there are cavalry troops, and he can be counted as half of his men and horses, 50,000 cavalry troops, what can they do? Do you charge at the cavalry of the New Han Army, which looks like it is black and oppressive? It's a joke, right? Don't say that the cavalry of the New Han Army drowned him in one fell swoop, just say that the cavalry of the New Han Army can ride and shoot, can the cavalry of their Cao Army do? Even if you can, is archery as good as anyone's?

After a while, Cao Ren regretted not listening to Zhang He's opinion, and regretted that he was going to fight here. (To be continued......)
