Cao Cao's army stopped when it was still five miles away from the destination, because Yingchuan was mostly plains, and Cao Zhang had already seen a crowd of yellow turban thieves in the distance, according to his visual measurements, it was only about two kilometers away from them, and it can be seen that one mile in the Three Kingdoms was about four hundred meters.

Cao Cao ordered the army to stop, and the Yellow Turban thieves on the opposite side were in a commotion, slowly moving towards the Cao army, Cao Cao asked Guo Jiadao: "Fengxiao, did you say that Zihe has gone around in front of us?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "We march slowly, and the tiger and leopard cavalry led by General Cao Chun are all cavalry, although they are half an hour later than us, even if they take a long detour, they should arrive at the attack site at this time, but General Cao Chun is good at hiding us don't know." ”

Cao Cao put his hand on his forehead and said, "Do you say that the thief army is ready to charge now?" ”

Guo Jia didn't look at the Yellow Turban enemy and said lightly: "He Yi and Liu Piduo have experience in fighting with officers and soldiers, and know that if we retreat to Yanling, we will cut off the waterways and grain routes and only surrender, so it is better to force the remnants to charge in front, and then hide the elite soldiers in the army and wait for the opportunity to attack our Chinese army and deter the lord." ”

Xun Yu's face was even more melancholy, obviously he saw clearly that the thieves in front of the enemy army were both old and young, they didn't even have decent weapons in their hands, they were holding hoes, plows, rakes, and farm tools, and they were also wearing cloth clothes, not even leather armor, and their steps were vain, and they were simply a group of homeless people.

Cao Zhang thought to himself, if there were archers now, this group of homeless people would have broken up a long time ago, and at the same time secretly wondered, why didn't the Cao army have archers? So he asked, "Father, why don't we have crossbowmen in our army?" In this case, as long as the crossbowmen fire a volley, the enemy will naturally collapse, because they are not fully armoured and have no shields, so they are completely unable to defend against bows and arrows? ”

Cao Cao smiled and replied: "After a long march in the future, Zhang'er will know why." After speaking, he raised his voice and said: "Passing on my military order, the Tiger Guard Army directly attacked the enemy, penetrated deep into the enemy formation, and found the main force hidden in the enemy army, the middle army and the left and right armies advanced, and the rear army of 1,000 people protected me and the two military divisions. ”

At this time, the opponent's army of 50,000 has reached within 500 meters, although it is not fully equipped, but a phalanx of tens of thousands of people, the black pressure is all human heads, it is still quite spectacular, but for Cao Zhang and Cao Pi, who have seen Cao Cao slaughter the city, this is just a small scene.

After the order was completed, Dian Wei roared a tiger, pulled out his halberd, turned over and dismounted, and walked in the front, with two thousand tiger guards behind, screaming and holding the ring head knife in one hand, and running quickly towards the enemy with a shield in one hand, although there were tens of thousands of people on the other side, but the tiger guards were firm and not afraid at all.

Yu Ban, Cao Ang and Le Jin also turned over and dismounted, drew out the ring knife at their waists, and led the Chinese army and the left and right armies to advance steadily, about ten meters away from the Tiger Guards in front.

Cao Hong led the rear army to protect the Cao family's father and son, as well as Guo Jiaxunyu.

Several generals were wearing bright light armor, shining in the sun, very conspicuous, at this time Cao Zhang could already see the expression on the face of the enemy, in the face of this army, they were timid, and their steps began to hesitate, the two armies were not more than a hundred meters apart.

I only heard a horn sounding in the middle of the enemy army, and the thief army in the front row seemed to hear the signal to ask for their lives, and shouted in unison, rushing towards the Tiger Guards and the Qingzhou Army without their lives, and the enemy troops at both ends were faster than the enemy troops in the middle, as if they wanted to surround the Tiger Guards and the 5,000 Chinese Army and the 4,000 Qingzhou Army on both wings.

The Chinese army commanded by Yu Ban suddenly stopped at this time, and the left and right armies of Cao Ang and Le Jin separated to meet the thieves at both ends of the encirclement, and everything was in order.

The Tiger Guards led by Dian Wei slaughtered the enemy army like a tiger into a flock, and the battle began.

The Tiger Guards are well-armored, holding a shield in one hand, and the ring-headed knife is extremely sharp, and under the leadership of Dian Wei, they slaughtered into the enemy formation, invincible, only listening to the wailing bursts, and the Yellow Turban thieves are not vulnerable at all.

The left and right armies also fought with the thieves, and the Qingzhou soldiers with halberds also advanced steadily, and the enemy army was defeated and retreated.

Yu Ban's 5,000 Chinese military formations were lined up in a half-moon shape, showing the talent of Yu Ban's soldiers, intercepting and killing the thief army who rushed out of the battle array, and tens of thousands of thieves were intercepted by 2,000 Tiger Guards and 9,000 Qingzhou soldiers.

Cao Cao watched the battle in the rear, trying to find out the main force hidden in the remnants of the Yellow Turban army, but apparently there was no result, Cao Zhang, who was on the horse, only saw the two sides fighting in one place, the Tiger Guard army had been drowned in the thief army, Yu Ban's Chinese army advanced step by step, intercepting the thief army, and Cao Ang and Yu Ban's left and right armies almost wiped out the enemy's two wings.

Because they brought infantry, Cao Ang and Yu Ban both dismounted, put their long weapons on their backs, and turned to fight with ring-headed knives, the two were wearing Mingguang armor, and the enemy's weapons could not cause damage to the two at all, so the two of them were very happy to cut down with their knives, and they retreated into the army slowly when they were not strong, and then rushed to the front.

Compared with them, Yu Ban was much easier, commanding the layout of the Chinese army, and did not go into battle at all, but the half-moon shape formed by his Chinese army made it so that the enemy army did not have a single fish that slipped through the net to run in front of Cao Cao's rear army.

Just when Cao Ang and Le Jin's left and right armies cleared the enemy's two wings, the thief army suddenly exerted its strength and rushed towards Yu Ban's Chinese army without fear of death, passing Dian Wei and the two thousand tiger guards in the formation, making this road of elite soldiers kill each other and run to the back of the thief army.

Dian Wei, who was covered in blood, was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, what is this? With the Tiger Guards catching up from behind and slashing the enemy, Yu Ban's half-moon formation was still stable, leaving rows and rows of corpses, and Xun Yu sighed again and again.

The left and right armies of Cao Ang and Le Jin were also outflanked and killed from both flanks at this time, plus the Tiger Guards killed by Dian Wei from behind, Cao's army had become surrounded on all sides, and the enemy army would undoubtedly be defeated.

But at this moment, a group of big men with big knives and yellow scarves suddenly appeared on the left flank of the enemy formation, and shouted under the leadership of the two big men, and rushed to the left.

But then there were two thousand big men dressed in the same costume on the right, rushing to the right, Cao Ang also thought it was the main force of the enemy, and immediately pursued, obviously it was impossible for the left and right armies to exchange information at this time, but Cao Cao in the distance could see clearly, but he did not let people blow the horn, second, did not wave the handsome flag, and third, did not beat the drum to inform, and let the two armies chase after him.

Cao Hongqi, the commander of the rear army, said: "Lord, this... ”

Cao Cao smiled: "If you don't give the thief a chance, how can they come?" ”

Sure enough, when Cao Ang and Le Jin pursued, the left and right wings were empty, and a thousand people appeared on the left and right wings of the thief army, one holding a wooden shield, the other holding a big knife, wearing a yellow scarf, and the two groups of men and horses each passed through the gap quickly under the leadership of a big man, and ran straight towards Cao Cao's handsome banner, Cao Ang and Le Jin's soldiers were stunned, wanting to fight back against the two thousand enemy troops who rushed to Cao Cao, but at this time, the four thousand big men who ran out turned around and entangled the left and right armies.

Cao Cao looked at the rushing thief army and was still unhurried, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect these two people to use a scheme, first lead away the left and right armies, and then go straight to the middle army to seize the commander, well, two thousand against one thousand, if you are not prepared, it is really possible to let the traitor succeed." I only heard him say to Cao Hong: "Form a circle to resist the enemy, order the army in front of you, kill the thief with all your might, no need to return to the camp, and fire the arrow!" ”

After saying that, Cao Cao asked Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Xun Yu and Guo Jia to dismount, so as not to become the target of others' cold arrows.

Then the horn sounded, Yu Banzhong's army began to assault, Cao Angle entered the two armies and also annihilated the enemy army that lured the enemy back to kill the enemy's main formation, and Dian Wei also rushed into the enemy formation with the Tiger Guard at this time.

A soldier drew his bow and let out an arrow, and after a sharp neigh, the faint neighing and neighing of horses came from the right side of the battlefield with a gust of spring breeze, and the two thousand Yellow Turban thieves also rushed towards the rear army formed in a circle.
