The soldiers of Cao Bao's army were stunned. No one expected that the enemy army would still have such an arrangement, and it was clear that the battle had been so fierce, and there was such a killer weapon that had not been used.

They smelled the murderous aura in the horse's hooves, their hearts trembled, their hands and feet became stiff, except for the people in the center of the fierce battle, they all looked at the Chinese army, looking at the same bright red big curdle, hoping that the coach could come up with some way, but they didn't know that the people under the big pole were also trembling.

"It's over, it's over...... There are also ambush soldiers, this battle is not fought, ...... quickly" Before he finished speaking, Xu Tan was kicked off the horse by Cao Bao. Among the brothers, only Cao Bao looked like a martial artist, and the two of them rode horses just to not walk, pretending to be majestic, and their riding skills were terrible, but they could kick Xu Tan off the horse and fly, Cao Bao's anger was also obvious.

Zhang Yilai also wanted to shout, he was frightened, but with Xu Tan's previous experience, he shrank his neck and took back the words that came to his mouth in a daze. Seeing Xu Tan humming and chirping on the ground for a long time, but he couldn't get up, he closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word, just looked at Cao Bao with pitiful eyes.

"What are you panicking about? He has ambush soldiers, isn't Lao Tzu prepared? What do you think the 3,000 soldiers on the flanks do? Do you think Lao Tzu is stupid? At such a terrible juncture, there are still 3,000 soldiers there to sell stupidly? Idiot, Lao Tzu has been on guard for a long time! Come on, come on, Changshan Zhao Zilong, let Lao Tzu take a look at your collar and see if you can break through Lao Tzu's military array! ”

Cao Bao looked hideous and roared loudly.

From his expression alone, no one could tell whether he was excited because he was well prepared, or angry because of fear. But for the courage of the army, he kicked Xu Yan, and his hideous and crazy appearance did have the effect of boosting morale.

"Raise the spear...... Column rejection of the horse formation...... The whole army is fighting! ”

Flags fly. The command was loud, and the 3,000 troops deployed on the flanks suddenly found the backbone and quickly adjusted the formation according to the previous arrangement.

The distance of five miles is not long, but it is not short, and on a clear day, people with good eyesight can even see the faces and expressions on the faces of the people opposite! For the cavalry, this distance was like a small alley. A small step has passed, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as fleeting.

The 3,000 soldiers who flanked the enemy were the most profoundly aware of this.

For those standing in the front row, it's like facing a huge wave. The surging and devastating the world came head-on. The sky is shaking, the earth is shaking, people are shaking, the whole world is shaking, no matter how brave people are, at this moment. What poured out of my heart was endless despair and fear, and I couldn't suppress the desire to throw down my weapons and run away.

However, no one flinched. Because they are from Danyang, they are well-known Danyang pawns, and they also have their own pride!

From the beginning of the era of Chu and Han competing for the crown, the elite soldiers of Danyang followed behind the overlord of Western Chu. Swept the whole world!

In Julu, they fought with their backs to the water. Eight thousand sons and daughters have struck the invincible Zhang Han!

In Pengcheng, they were outnumbered, 30,000 soldiers and horses, and fought 560,000 princes and allied troops who did not dare to turn back!

In the Han Dynasty, Danyang Jinjun was also majestic, in Mobei, in the Western Regions, in every known place under the vast sky, there are footprints of their battles.

Because of Zhao Yun's suffering, Cao Bao left the most elite troops by his side, even if the striker was in danger, he never wavered from his original intention, and now, he has received a reward.

In the face of the charge of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry, the three thousand troops on the flanks began to change formations, the opening and closing of the formation, the strong men shouted loudly, and the horses were put to the forefront, and the shield hand quickly followed, and pulled up a long shield array in the gap between the horses.

Behind the shield wall, the arrows flickered with a cold light, uncertain and murderous; Countless spears stood up, neatly put down, leaning on the shield wall and the shoulders of the robe, pointing at the fierce Qingzhou Iron Cavalry!

The perfect defensive formation, although it will not make the cavalry completely helpless, undoubtedly has a great restraint effect on the cavalry. The strong charge may be able to rush, but the price is definitely not something that Zhao Yun's five hundred cavalry can afford, and Cao Bao has this confidence.

"This ...... Can't rush down, right? Chen Ye, as well as many veterans watching the battle in the city, also had similar thoughts to Cao Bao.

The cavalry is very strong, and the cavalry in Qingzhou is the best among the cavalry, but no matter how strong the cavalry is, it also has limitations, and there is no class that has no weaknesses at all. For dense formations, the cavalry obviously did not have a very good way, a frontal attack was a stupid idea, and a roundabout outflanking was the king, but the terrain restricted the cavalry from making a large detour.

Tancheng is located between the two waters, Shushui and Yishui are like two parallel lines, flowing on the east and west sides of Tancheng. Maling Mountain, which runs north-south, is the third parallel line, which is east of Mushui.

This battle was fought between the mountains and rivers.

Behind Cao Bao's army is the river, in front of Wang Yu's Chinese army, the three thousand soldiers on the flank are facing north, and the river bank begins to line up, extending, although the formation is very dense, but still covers most of the area between the mountains and rivers.

Qingzhou Jingcai wanted to take a detour, there was no way to go on the riverbank, so they could only find a way from the side of Maling Mountain, but the two armies at the foot of the mountain were fighting fiercely, and the cavalry was involved, and it would definitely not play a role in turning things around, and would only slow down because of scruples about their own people, and finally fell into a chaotic battle.

Chen Ye has been a soldier for many years, and he has a lot of experience in the military, although he can't talk about how proficient he is in the art of war, but these common-sense judgments are as natural as breathing for him. He was amazed by the fierce combat power of the Qingzhou Army, but he was also worried about the future of the Qingzhou Army.

"It should ...... No problem. Standing beside him was rookie agent Zhang Xiao.

As a secret agent whose identity has been exposed, he, like many of his companions, has long received an order to return to Gaotang and continue his studies, but he did not leave because he felt that his mission had not been completed and he could not be a deserter.

However, with the previous situation, he didn't know what he could do, but fortunately, Wang Yu saw that he was courageous, and sent him a new mission before the war. This task sounded simple, but in practice, he realized that it was actually difficult, and the difficulty was not a reminder on a technical level, but a test of willpower.

"Actually, the soldiers and horses in the city can be moved." Chen Ye's face looked a little hideous, a rare expression of hesitation appeared, and he stopped talking for a moment, and finally said what he had in his heart: "Although the morale of the brothers is not very high, the lord's side has already fought almost enough, and if you add a little strength, even if it is just a small one, you can ...... it."

"No way!" Zhang Xiao replied categorically, leaving no room for negotiation: "Before the war, the order given to me by the lord was to let me ensure the safety of Tancheng, no matter what the battle situation is, unless the lord is defeated and retreats, not a single soldier can leave the city!" Therefore, except for the north city gate, the other city gates are sealed, and the military order is like a mountain! Who would dare to disobey? ”

Chen Ye was silent.

If it wasn't Zhang Xiao who spoke, he might have to hold on. He is a dead eye, when Tao Qian was there, he protected the territory and the people, and benefited the township, so he was loyal to Tao Qian; Before Tao Qian died, he entrusted Xuzhou to Wang Yu, and he transferred his loyalty to the latter.

But he will not be naïve to think that his thoughts can be fully conveyed to the other party, and loyalty is not said with words, but made by doing. Lu Yao knows horsepower, and seeing people's hearts for a long time is a way, and when it is in danger, standing up is also a way of expression.

However, now it is Zhang Xiao who is stopping him, a secret agent who is eager to make meritorious contributions because of the failure of the mission.

If it weren't for Wang Yu's death order, there would be no need for him to stop himself, because this was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Now, since he said no, it really can't.

It's just that...... The situation on the battlefield is indeed worrying.

Zhao Yun's cavalry did not mean to charge the enemy formation, although the cavalry was also wearing armor, black and heavy, and looked mighty. But that is only the effect of a distance view, after approaching a certain distance, experienced people soon find that the armor is a kind of goods, not real iron armor, but black paper armor!

That's right, only paper armor is so light and looks fully armed, but in fact, the horse only weighs thirty or forty pounds, and it can barely be regarded as a light cavalry.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to a distance of fifty paces, and seeing that the enemy formation was still rock solid and unwavering, he hung his spear on the saddle, formed a ring with two fingers, brought it to his lips, and let out a loud whistle.

It was an order, and the cavalry did as it was ordered, and they put away their long weapons and took off their carved bows from behind. Immediately, the Sharp Arrow Formation centered on the sharp Zhao Yun and separated to both sides...... In terms of shape, the sharp arrow is clearly an anchor, then a hook, and then a flat circle......

Ride and shoot!

In the past, the white horse was the most obedient, and now the wind cavalry is the best keeper, the fast horse is like the wind, the arrow is like a shower, whistling down in the air, as if hail smashed into the crops, a stubble of wheat ears were knocked down, splashing red muddy water.

The formation of the Danyang soldiers is too dense, providing the best target for cavalry shooting. The Tempest Troopers don't need to aim, they just need to throw arrows into the crowd as fast as they can.

Although the shield array in the front row was strong, it could only resist frontal attacks, and the bows and arrows of the light cavalry were thrown, easily passing over the shield wall and the armor soldiers in the front row, causing great damage to the light armor soldiers in the center of the queue.

"Steady!"

"Shoot back!"

Hoarse orders echoed through the ranks, and the crossbowmen angrily raised their weapons in their hands, trying to return the favor to the enemy. But their efforts were in vain, and the galloping horses easily left their arrows behind, and the small number of hits could not penetrate the layer of paper that seemed to be strong, but was actually very strong......

The exchange ratio is very different.

Replaced by ordinary troops, the morale may have collapsed, but the proud Danyang soldiers did not, they fought desperately against the rain of arrows, so that the enemy could not pass the thunder pool for half a step.
