"Where is Zhou Cang?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao was gradually defeated, Yuan Mai looked back left and right, and ordered Zhou Cang to help.

"The last general commands!"

Zhou Cang agreed, rode his horse and danced the knife, and came to the center of the position to assist Zhang Liao, and fought the "tiger idiot". With a helper joining, Zhang Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief and took a breather.

Zhou Cang is also a powerful person, and his arms are not much weaker than Xu Chu, so he took Xu Chu a few tricks, but he didn't suffer much loss; But in terms of changes in tricks, Zhou Cang is far inferior to Xu Chu. On the contrary, Zhang Liao is the opposite, he is superior to Xu Chu in the change of knife skills, but his strength is inferior; Therefore, with two against one, it can be a draw with the "tiger idiot".

Three war horses, three generals, in the center of the battlefield, you come and go, as if they are entangled like a marquee, and in the blink of an eye, more than 30 rounds have passed, Xu Chu does not fall behind at all, but has the momentum of becoming more and more courageous.

"Shhh...... This tiger general under Cao Cao is really brave, and these two people under the fourth child are also good, why don't I have such talents under me? Xie Chong was split off the horse in three rounds, and it is estimated that Jiang Yiqu can only support ten rounds at most. ”

Looking at the three fierce generals who were fighting non-stop in the center of the field, Yuan Tan was shocked by the fierceness of the "Tiger Idiot", and he was also envious of the two partial generals under Yuan Mai, so he felt that he despised this little brother a little. His soldiers and horses may not be as good as his own in terms of numbers, but none of the people under his command can match the skills of these two generals!

Seeing Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang fighting against Xu Chu, Yuan Mai felt a little regretful in his heart that Wang Shuang was not here. If Wang Shuang and Zhang Liao fight Xu Chu. should be expected to win, but Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao can only fight with him in a draw, it can only be said that this "tiger idiot" is really not a wasted person!

Another person who made Yuan Mai feel sorry was Gao Shun, although the description of Gao Shun in various novels in later generations focused on the ability to command troops, but he was able to train such an outstanding elite army as "trapping the camp", Gao Shun's force must not be underestimated, and it is estimated that it is above Zhou Cang.

It's a pity that Gao Shun is now disheartened, and he just wants to recuperate peacefully for a while, and he can't be in a hurry. Forcing him to work for himself. If it backfires, you'll regret it.

"Fortunately, Dian Wei, the evil man, died in the battle of Wancheng, if it was because of my crossing, Dian Wei did not die. Cao Cao has two fierce men, Xu Chu and Dian Wei. plus Lu Bu, who is unparalleled in the world. The combat power of this heads-up is really terrifying! ”

Xu Chu thought of Dian Wei, who was praised by Cao Cao as "the evil of the ancients". Yuan Mai secretly rejoiced in his heart. If Dian Wei does not die, Cao Cao has a super combination like Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, and there is basically no solution to the heads-up before the battle. I don't know Yuan Shao's right-hand man. If Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Xu Chu and Dian Wei fight, who can win?

In Yuan Mai's heart, he had a vague understanding of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's force. And the controversy between these two people in later generations is also relatively large, whether it is Yan Liang or Wen Chou, they can both repel Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's attack on their own, according to reason, martial arts should be between Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

But in the romance, these two people became ghosts under Guan Yu's knife, and they were beheaded under the horse before they could fight back, and their deaths were really aggrieved. To say that it is Lao Luo's fictional story, but the official history records that the Chinese ugly was also stabbed under the horse by Guan Yu, what is the force of these two people? I'll have to wait for time to answer!

Just when Yuan Mai's thoughts were flying, the situation in the center of the battlefield changed again.

A general in the Cao army slapped his horse out, only to see that he was more than eight feet tall, with a broad face and heavy face, eyes like stars, a silver armor, a black scarf on his head, a horse under his crotch, and an axe in his hand.

"Hedong Xu Gongming is here, what kind of hero is he to bully more? Let someone come to help Zhongkang! ”

Seeing that there were people in Cao's army array, Xu Sheng knew that it was his turn to go out, so he took the horse and prepared to fight, but was stopped by Yuan Mai.

If Zhou Cang and Zhang Liao can hold on to Xu Chu for a while, Xu Huang between Wuyi and Zhang Liao will definitely be able to defeat Xu Sheng quickly in twenty or thirty rounds. When the time comes, if you join forces with Xu Chu to fight Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang, your side will definitely be victorious and undefeated......

If you lose three heads-up games in a row, your morale will inevitably be greatly frustrated, and the opponent's morale will inevitably be high; When the time comes, this battle will be difficult to fight. It's better to take advantage of the fact that there is no winner on the field, wave the army to cover up, and who will kill the deer is not yet known!

"Xu Wenxiang stays, General Cao is brave and invincible, you lead the pikemen to assault and trap the enemy general!"

After giving the order, Yuan Mai turned his horse back and retreated towards the center of the position. With his small physique, it's okay to hide in the team and put cold arrows, if you really fight hard to carry it, you will hang up if you are not careful, and what are you talking about dominating the world!

Xu Sheng received the order, waved the horse lance, and shouted: "The pikemen follow me forward!" ”

The soldiers behind him shouted, and two thousand pikemen brandished their spears and followed Xu Sheng and rushed to the center of the field.

Yuan Tan also saw the situation on the field, and knew that it was unknown whether Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang could keep the draw if they continued to fight, this military general with an axe was majestic, and it didn't look like a good stubble, if he really lost two more heads-up, the military heart would be over, it was better to take advantage of the fact that the victory or defeat on the field was not scored, wave the army to cover the kill, maybe you can rely on the large number of people and win in chaos!

"All cavalry, forward assault!" Yuan Tan waved his horsewhip in his hand and ordered four thousand cavalry to assault forward.

In the Cao army's array, Cao Chunling's flag in the center waved, and the two thousand tigers and leopards behind him rode up to meet him. Cao Xiu on the left flank also commanded 2,000 light cavalry to move forward to meet the enemy, while Xu Huang's partial general also sent 2,000 soldiers forward to support the main general.

In the center of the battlefield, people suddenly shouted and neighed, swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, axes and hooks, and human heads rolling. After a short confrontation, the combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry was obviously superior to that of the heavy cavalry under the command of Yuan Tan, and after being entangled for a while, they gradually gained the upper hand, and the knights of Yuan's army fell off their horses one after another and died under the hooves of their horses.

Seeing that his men and horses were suffering, Yuan Tan became angry and angry, and waved the flag, leaving only 2,000 people to guard the banner of the Chinese army, and the remaining more than 14,000 foot soldiers all flocked up.

Seeing Yuan Tan's whole army attacking, Cao Xiu made a move of the spear in his hand, and led the remaining more than 3,000 light cavalry to join the battle group, and became entangled with Yuan Tan's foot soldiers. Cao Chun, who was in the center, left 2,000 tigers and leopards to guard the positions of the Chinese army, and the remaining 2,000 tigers and leopards were also put into the battlefield.

Yuan Mai was not idle here, he turned his horse and retreated to the back of the team, in order not to let the soldiers feel that they were afraid of Cao Jun and retreated, he ordered the soldiers to bring him a big drum, turn over and dismount, and personally beat the drum to cheer. Leaving a thousand archers to protect himself, he threw all the remaining 4,000 troops into the strangulation field.

All of a sudden, the battlefield was covered with smoke and dust, and yellow sand was rolling. Every moment a head is cut off, every blink of an eye someone falls in a pool of blood, and the smell of blood permeates the wolf smoke.

The Cao army has a huge number of cavalry, and there are elite troops such as the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Echelon" to help in the battle, although the number is at a disadvantage, but it is not inferior at all, but can force Yuan Tan's infantry position to retreat little by little.

And Yuan Mai's 6,000 men and horses and Xu Huang's 5,000 foot soldiers were also strangled on the right flank, because of the superiority in numbers, and there were super elite infantry regiments such as Gao Shun's "trapped camp" in the formation, as well as Zhang Liao's "Tiger Battalion" mixed in the battle formation, but the battle had the upper hand, forcing the Cao army infantry to slowly retreat. Although there were two fierce generals Xu Chu and Xu Huang in the Cao army's formation, they clashed back and forth in the formation, and they couldn't take any advantage.

Seeing that Xu Huang's men and horses were at a loss, Cao Chun waved his banner and transferred a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry from the left flank to support the right, only to stop the defeat and retreat of Cao's infantry, and you went back and forth to strangle. After Yuan Tan's side subtracted a thousand tigers and leopards, the pressure was slightly reduced, and he was finally able to withstand Cao Jun's charge.

When the remnant sun was slanting to the west, corpses were all over the ground, and blood stained the earth red.

In most of the fierce battles, the cavalry under Yuan Tan lost about 1,000 losses, and the infantry was even worse, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded; The casualties of Yuan Mai's subordinates are not optimistic, after a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry joined the melee, Yuan Mai injured more than 1,000 people, and there were less than 5,000 people left in the center of the battlefield, under the leadership of Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng.

The losses of the Cao army were lighter than those of the Yuan army, with 800 of the 6,000 light cavalry and 400 of the 6,000 tiger and leopard cavalry; The infantry under Xu Huang's command suffered heavy losses, with more than 1,500 casualties, and only more than 3,000 people were left at this moment.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yuan Tan ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and as the gong sounded, Yuan's army slowly retreated from the battlefield. Cao Chun also ordered his subordinates to blow the horn, two long and one short, which was an order to collect the troops.

After seeing Yuan's army withdraw for four or five miles, Cao Chun guessed that Yuan's army must be in a hurry, and the team that was dragging behind must have no intention of fighting, so he led the remaining 2,000 tiger and leopard cavalry that had not yet been put into the battlefield to pursue. Unexpectedly, in the valley, he encountered an ambush attack by Koji Yi, and lost more than 200 horsemen, so he could only retreat. A fight came to an end.

After retreating to Kaiyang City, Yuan Tan, who did not take advantage, was furious, and while repairing the book and reporting to Yecheng, he ordered Guo Tu to lead the remaining 4,000 cavalry, and the other 15,000 infantry to Langya to help, swearing to break Cao's soldiers.

Yuan Shao received the report and learned that Cao Jun had invaded Qingzhou on a large scale, and immediately took the case, only caring about being angry with Cao Cao, and forgetting to investigate the matter of Yuan Mai privately sending Koji Yi to surrender, and scolded angrily: "He Lu Bu's subordinates will surrender to whoever they like, how can they only descend to him Cao Mengde, and not to surrender to me Yuan Benchu?" Dare to use this as an excuse to send heavy troops to invade our territory, is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

Immediately issued an order, ordered Zhang He, who was stationed in Liyang, to lead his troops through Baimajin to launch an attack on Puyang, the seat of the eastern county, and ordered the general Wen Choudu to lead 30,000 horses out of Dunqiu to attack Puyang, and the two armies jointly attacked, vowing to give Cao Cao a little color.

All of a sudden, the land of the Central Plains suddenly erupted, and the duel between the two northern princes was about to break out. (To be continued......)
