The drums of war rang out from all corners of the array, one after another. All kinds of battle flags fly in the air, colorful and dazzling. The heralds are like industrious bees, going in and out of the formation set up by the army, busy and busy.

At the opening and closing of the formation, dense cavalry poured out like a tide.

The roar became clearer and louder, and in an instant it spread across the plains and resounded through the sky!

Two cavalry teams of 10,000 people charged each other, which was undoubtedly the most magnificent scene in the era of cold weapons.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves has completely overwhelmed the sound of drums and battles. The violent shaking made the city tremble, soaked in blood, and the clods of soil that became a little soft fell one by one, and even some soldiers did not stand firm for a while, and fell directly from the city!

Cao ** held his breath, and all the civil and military officers in Cao Ying's house looked solemn.

The Qingzhou cavalry who were rushing over formed a neat queue, although they had been slowly accelerating, they gave people a strange feeling of not being in a hurry or slowing down. From a distance, it looks like a turbulent wave rushing towards you, and between the ups and downs, there is a deafening roar, and its majestic momentum and majestic power seem to explode completely with this earth-shattering blow.

"It's a good time, the true character of a strong soldier ......" Cao **'s face was pale and murmured.

He felt that fate was really unfair.

He was born in the family of the crown, he has few talents, and his reputation is broadcast in the Central Plains.

He is not as arrogant as the Yuan brothers, he can't tolerate people, and he is blind; is not overly proud like Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, who refuse to accept advice and do not know how to use people; The family background is thousands of times better than Liu Bei, Tao Qian and others. If you have enough time to plan and arrange, you can also open up a new world and create an invincible strong army in the world!

Unfortunately, what I lack most is time.

The tigers and leopards with the Yongliang border army as the main body are very strong, and these fierce warriors already have superb riding skills and various combat skills, and after being equipped with sophisticated equipment built with heavy money, they are even more powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that these elite fighters alone are not inferior to any army, including the Qingzhou Army.

However, it was such a strong army, but it was a complete defeat in the cavalry battle at the beginning of the war, and it was not an opponent of the enemy army at all.

In this regard, the staff members were puzzled, and the generals were ashamed, but Cao ** did not have such emotions, because he knew very well where the gap was.

Time! There was so little time that I didn't have time to complete the training. The current tiger and leopard cavalry has no fundamental change from the Xiliang Army more than half a year ago, their equipment has become stronger, and the banners they play are different, but in their bones they are still the army that only values personal bravery and does not pay attention to tactical coordination. This is the reason for the defeat of the cavalry in the early stage.

The upcoming cavalry battle may be a little different. Because it is a head-on hedge, there is no hard-hitting without a sixtieth face, courage and combat power are fundamental, and tactical coordination should be in a secondary position...... As a matter of common sense, that's right.

But Cao ** knows very well that the opponent he is facing now, the opponent who has been suppressing him as if he is nothing, has always been an unconventional person, and if he speculates with common sense, it is easy to be caught off guard by the other party.

However, he couldn't think of any other way now, the tactics of infantry against cavalry were relatively rigid, and it was difficult to make further adjustments after the arrangement was made. The Qingzhou army came too fast and the offensive was too fierce, and the Cao army could not completely cover the battlefield and restrict the opponent's maneuver. Once Wang Yu plays some new tricks, the wild goose array that puts all the heavy troops on the front may be broken.

Therefore, the only way to restrain the cavalry with cavalry is to defeat the enemy head-on, at least to limit the space for the enemy's maneuver and detour, which is the only way to win.

Cao **'s reaction was not unpleasant, and the new tactics adjusted could not be said to be inaccurate, however, looking at the Qingzhou cavalry formation that had been in good shape, he was still very uneasy, and he always felt that something would happen soon.

"Where is Zilong...... The two armies were five hundred paces apart, and Wang Yu began to point generals.

"Zhao Yun is here!"

"Forego for me!" As soon as the lance was raised, the five-foot long front pointed at the tiger and leopard rider on the opposite side.

"Dare not to die!" Zhao Yun responded loudly, urged the horse to dance the gun, and rushed to the front of the team along the fleeting passage in the queue. Under the noon light, his silver armor and silver spear, and the figure of the white robe and white horse were like a bright lightning.

Fang Yue and Qin Feng followed, each holding a big flag, which were the general flag of 'Changshan Zhao' and the military flag of the word 'wind'.

"Qingzhou's pioneer is Zhao Yun!" On the enemy tower of Cao's army, the lookout shouted hoarsely, conveying the latest changes to the commander-in-chief.

"Three hundred steps away......"

"The enemy forces began to separate before and after...... Light riding at an acceleration! They're accelerating, the Iron Riders are maintaining their speed, and the queue is separated! The voice suddenly became terrible, like the dying scream of a night owl, and everyone who listened to it was moved.

"What are they going to do? Purely light cavalry? Open the way for the Iron Riders so that they can charge at their best? No, it's impossible, pure light riding can't win the tiger and leopard riding! There are more than 2,000 iron horsemen on tiger horses, how can light horses be helpless? Cheng Yu was very panicked, his words were fast and loud, and if he didn't listen carefully, it would be difficult to tell what he was talking about.

"It's a ruse, there must be some trickery, right?" officially separated, to be precise, Dong Zhao, who betrayed Zhang Yang not long ago, also shouted in panic. He was about to be driven crazy by the remorse in his heart, he originally wanted to find a big tree, but before he could enjoy the happiness of enjoying the shade under the big tree, the big tree was already crumbling.

Knowing this, how good it would have been to choose the other side in the first place......

"There is only such a little distance, two hedges, in an instant, what other strategy can there be? It's useless to say anything else, it's only serious to advance the big array of foot soldiers quickly! ”

"No! If the foot soldiers advance too fast, the formation will be destroyed, and those oars and wells will not be able to go fast at all! ”

"So what to do......"

Most of Cao Ying's staff members are battle-hardened, even if the opponent they face is Wang Yu, they would not have been so panicked. But the psychological pressure brought to them by the previous bad news was too great, from being evenly divided, and even having some advantages, they suddenly became embattled, and the psychological blow caused by this contrast was very terrifying.

Originally, there was no bottom in his heart, and the tactics of the Qingzhou Army seemed a little unreasonable, and the staff members were naturally unavoidable. Not only the staff who watched the battle in the back, but even Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, who were in command, were a little confused, but in order to make meritorious contributions, Xiahou Shang, who rushed to the forefront, was not afraid, and in his blood-red eyes, there was only the enemy opposite.

Xiahou Shang stared at the enemy formation, estimating the distance, waiting for the moment of the final sprint!

The army is in such a predicament, almost entirely because of his incompetence. If there was no main force of Wang Yu, the siege of the other three lines of soldiers and horses of the Qingzhou Army would only provide the lord with various opportunities to break through. As a result, it was because he didn't block Wang Yu that now the entire main army was dead.

At this moment, he finally understood the reason for the relieved look on Zang Ba's face when he asked for his life. The guilt of defeating the battle is difficult to make up for after all, and the humiliation can only be washed away by blood!

"Lift...... Shield ......"

"Today, we will fight a battle, and we will never die!" He spurred his horse desperately, rushing faster and faster, leaving the other cavalry behind! Under his encouragement, the cavalry of the Cao army, which was in the forefront, also entered the state, they took off their riding shields from under their saddles, put the round shield in front of the horse's neck, leaned forward, shrunk their bodies into a ball, and hid under the protection of the riding shields.

Riding and archery is the skill of the wind cavalry. Now the distance is less than 100 paces, and the cavalry on the opposite side has begun to raise their bows, and the most efficient tactics are to shoot at the opponent with a short blow, and directly raise the shield to hit it, and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

However, at the moment when the tiger and leopard cavalry raised their shields, the wind light rider with the bow on the opposite side suddenly turned their horses and ran diagonally towards both sides of the battlefield!

"Accelerate...... Speed up! Xiahou was not shocked and rejoiced, and roared wildly.

As we all know, the predecessor of the Tempest Cavalry was the White Horse, and in addition to the White Horse, the former perfectly inherited everything from the latter, with both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage of the White Horse Yicong is that he has a poor ability to attack fortifications, and when he goes into battle, he always likes to rely on cavalry to harass and kill the enemy on both wings, and finally converges with the main force to consolidate the results.

The Tempest Cavalry has had a brilliant record in the past two years, but most of them have been achieved on weaker opponents or by relying on running attacks, and rarely fight head-to-head battles. Now, it's clear that they're trying to do it again.

Let them spread out the formation and turn it into a goose marching formation, kill with light horses on both wings, and advance in the center of the iron horse. Such a tactic is indeed very threatening, but unfortunately, in order to hide this intention, they changed the formation too late, and it is impossible to fully unfold the formation. Take advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack and have a chance to crush the enemy!

Seeing such a change and getting confirmation from the lookout, Cao ** also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just such a change, then there really is nothing to be afraid of, even if there is a cavalry shooting, it is impossible for three thousand iron cavalry to swallow all the nearly 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and even if they can do it, it is impossible to advance to the battle group in the infantry formation.

"If you win this battle, maybe ......" Unconsciously, Cao ** actually said what was in his heart, which shows how excited he is now.

"If this battle is won......" Xiahou Shang was also muttering, what could wash away the shame may not only be his own blood.

However, at this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in front of Xiahou Shang's eyes! It was as if the sun in the sky had suddenly fallen, and the shining light pierced like a sword, and his eyes were so painful and astringent that he could not see anything.

"It's ...... What demon magic? Xiahou Shang roared angrily, and he was still full of resentment until the moment of death. He was already mentally prepared to die at the hands of the enemy, but he didn't expect that he would die so aggrieved that he couldn't even see what the murderer he looked like. (To be continued.) )
