Thank you for the reward. This is the first change, and there will be a change at night, asking for a collection recommendation

After Cao Xing and Cheng Lian withdrew to a safe range, after a little discussion, the two decided to go to support Lu Bu!

It didn't take long, and the more than 3,000 cavalry they led almost rushed to Lu Bu's location with Guan Yu's 3,000 cavalry, so Tian Fan's side turned the tables!

When Lu Bu saw the arrival of reinforcements, he used all his strength to entangle Cao Chun, Cao Ren and Le Jin, so that they could not command the battle.

Nearly 7,000 fresh troops joined, and immediately surrounded the 3,000 cavalry of Cao Ying, and bombed down wildly, and Cao Chun and Cao Ren's hearts were dripping blood! This is Cao Cao's 3,000 cavalry, which he made up so easily, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother!

They easily got rid of Lu Bu's entanglement, and hurriedly blew the trumpet to gather the team. But are Guan Yu and others stupid? They unanimously led the team to press up, making it impossible for Cao Chun and Cao Ren's teams to retreat smoothly.

At this time, the 12,000 soldiers led by Cao Cao himself had already converged with the Xiahou brothers, and after a little discussion, they also came towards Lu Bu and Tian Fan! The army of 16,000 people rushed to the battlefield in a mighty way, and the momentum was really devastating, and everyone was afraid of ghosts!

Yu Ban and Li Dian, who were ordered to block Liu Beijun's camp, finally understood what it meant to be immortal and want to die!

After Guan Yu rushed out of the camp, they immediately formed a formation and prepared to seal the gate of the camp. Just after the formation was sorted out, Zhou Cang and Chang Feng led 4,000 people composed of all Danyang soldiers to open the camp.

As soon as Yu Ban and Li Dian saw each other's formation, they immediately laughed! Hahaha, what kind of formation is this? Why is it so confusing? Look at the soldiers, some with spears, some with swords and shields, some with bows and arrows. The point is that these kinds of soldiers are not standing in different arms, but are mixed, and they are very chaotic! That's it? It's ridiculous! Isn't a spearman without a shield soldier just a dish?

They wanted to be happy, but later turned out to be wrong!

The reason why Zhou Cang and Chang Feng put on such a weird formation is that they don't plan to engage in a head-on conflict with each other, they have helpers!

Zhou Ting, the captain of the craftsman battalion, is the one responsible for opening the way!

After the crossbow was successfully built, Liu Bei led his generals and ministers to watch the large-scale test launch of this new weapon. 1,000 soldiers, 500 repeaters, under collective fire, within the range of 150 to 250 steps, the density of crossbow arrows reached an astonishing level! Within this range, there can be no living creatures at all!

Seeing the creepy expressions of Liu Bei and the others, Tian Fan immediately admonished that in addition to the crossbows distributed to various armies, another army should be established with crossbows as the main standard weapon, which was mainly used to assist the regular army to break the formation or suppress the other party when seizing the city.

Liu Bei thought about it, discussed it with the generals a little, and agreed to Tian Fan's idea. As a result, Zhou Ting, the original captain of the craftsman battalion, has a new position, the captain of the crossbow battalion!

The standard establishment of the crossbow battalion is 3,600 people, and in addition to the 2,800 regular army, there are also 800 craftsmen, who are mainly responsible for the maintenance of the repeater. It is equipped with 400 crossbows with 10 arrows and 600 crossbows with 3 arrows.

When the crossbow battalion was set up, it was positioned as an auxiliary military camp, so it was natural to cooperate with the rest of the main combat troops. This requires the soldiers to be on good terms and not to shoot their own sergeants. Now, after several months of rigorous training, the sergeants have been able to keep up with the range required by their superiors, with an error of no more than ten paces.

According to the standard configuration, a repeater with three arrows is actually enough for one person, but in order to ensure the physical strength of the repeater and the continuous combat effectiveness of the repeater battalion, as well as the accuracy of the crossbow when the crossbow bolt lands, each repeater is equipped with two fighters. Similarly, a crossbow and ten-arrow repeater that can be operated by two people is also equipped with four people! …,

However, the operation of this crossbow battalion also has great limitations, the arrows used are different from ordinary arrows, and the speed of arrows is too fast, and the consumption of arrows is very strong, so the continuous power of the crossbow battalion is not strong, and the pressure on logistics is extremely great. Just like this battle, Liu Bei used a thousand people, and the bows and arrows he carried were only enough to be used twice in a row. Therefore, if it is not necessary, Liu Bei will not use this money-burning army!

Today is the first battle of Zhou Ting and the crossbow battalion who have been sharpening their knives for a few months, how can he not care?

The military formation of Yu Ban and Li Dianbu was about 200 steps in front of the big camp, and Zhou Cangchang's formation was 50 steps away from the big camp, and behind them was the crossbow camp!

Standing in the arrow tower on the gate of the big camp, he visually measured the distance between Li Dianyu's forbidden army formation and the crossbow battalion, and shouted loudly: "The distance between the enemy formation is one hundred and eighty steps to two hundred and fifty steps, shoot with all your strength, and shoot the arrows until you finish shooting!" ”

Three thousand six hundred people shouted, "No! "After roaring, the soldiers will train according to their usual time, adjust the angle, and then launch automatically! This way of fighting is a pioneering feat! From the original way of shooting and killing visible enemies, to the current blind shooting, it is a great step forward in the use of bows and arrows.

A crossbow with ten arrows and a crossbow with three arrows, Yu Ban Li Dian has never seen it, now they understand what it means to be an arrow like a flying locust, the crossbow arrow is like no money, it shoots over without interruption, and the range is far and near, almost becoming a kind of covering shooting, it didn't take long for the army of 6,000 people to lose thousands, and some unlucky soldiers were shot more than ten crossbow arrows in a row!

Until the crossbow arrows in hand were shot, the soldiers stopped their work in excitement and a little tired!

At this time, the enemy's formation was already in tatters, and Zhou Cangchang saw it, and immediately led his 4,000 infantry to rush forward, and the two armies immediately fell into a stalemate.

That seemingly unreasonable formation is actually a mandarin duck formation! It's just a variant of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which is different from Qi Jiguang's formation. It consists of two pikemen, two shield men, four sword and shield men, two archers and a crossbowmen. It can be done from near and far, and the killing distance is greatly increased!

How can the more than 4,000 soldiers of Li Dian and Yu Ban's formation, which have been chaotic, withstand this kind of small formation that can stretch out thorns everywhere?

At this moment, the drums sounded in Liu Bei's camp, the camp opened again, and the 10,000 people led by Liu Bei slowly drove out of the camp!

When Yu Ban and Li Dian saw each other, their hearts suddenly cooled, if they were surrounded, there would be no reason to be spared! The two hurriedly commanded the army to retreat slowly. But Zhou Cang and Chang Feng are like sharks that smell blood, and they bite and don't let go! And Zhou Ting's sergeant of the craftsman battalion also kept shooting arrows at the back of the two!

Liu Bei's army, but unexpectedly did not care about Yu Ban and Li Dian, but after leaving the camp gate, he turned around and went in the direction of Tian Fan! He also saw Cao Cao's army rushing towards Tian Fan, where not only Tian Fan, but also Guan Yu, so without hesitation, he commanded the army to rush to the rescue!

Tian Fan and Lu Bu immediately withdrew from the battle after Guan Yu and Cao Xing's rescue forces entered the battle. After a short rest, Lu Bu rushed up again, but Tian Fan did not. There were less than two hundred of his three hundred guards left at this time, and he wanted to vomit blood when he was distressed, how could he still go up? The revenge has also been avenged, and he has suffered a lot of losses, so he will temporarily sweep the formation. Besides, the confrontation between the cavalry can't help at all!

At this time, Le Jin was not the slightest relaxed, the cavalry led by Guan Yu immediately found Cao Chun and Cao Ren after arriving, Cao Xing also led the cavalry to Cao Chun, but Cheng Lian was not, his thousand cavalry did not hesitate to rush to Le Jin, who had been abused very badly, and after a chaotic fight, Le Jin's soldiers were sharply reduced to less than two hundred! …,

Just when Cheng Lian was planning to work harder and kill Le Jin, Cao Cao's reinforcements finally arrived! Like a child who has been hungry for a long time, Lejin finally saw his mother, he didn't care about anything, and broke into Cao Cao's arms!

Cao Cao didn't even bother to say anything, and directly commanded the troops into battle. Guan Yu, Lu Bu and others also noticed Cao Cao, who was close at hand, and the two had a very tacit understanding to lead their troops out of the battle, and slowly moved closer to Liu Bei not far away. Cao Chun and Cao Ren finally found the organization, and after a cheer, the remaining remnants of the army rushed to Cao's army.

For a time, the entire battlefield was divided into two parts, one part was Li Dian, Yu Ban and Zhou Cang, Chang Xian, who were fighting, at this time, Yu Ban and Li Dian probably understood that there was no need to continue their tasks, so they were retreating while fighting, retreating in the direction of Cao Cao's army! The other part is Liu Bei and Cao Cao who fell into a strange pause!

The two armies had a very tacit understanding of choosing to line up and did not directly launch an attack.

Cao Cao was very angry, and the consequences were serious!

After the army finally set up the formation, he led the generals to beat their horses and came to the front of the formation, pointed at Liu Bei's army, and shouted: "Big-eared thief, you shameless erector, you come out for me!" Obviously said that he would not fight, why did he attack our army scouts? ”

Liu Bei also led the Chinese military generals to beat their horses to meet them, and the horse whip pointed at Cao Cao and shouted: "Cao Heizi, you are not a son of man!" You Cao Jun are really shameless! First bullied our army's medics, and then killed our army's sergeants, do you still have the face to say that our army is treacherous? ”

Cao Cao said: "Big-eared thief, you ......"

Liu Bei said: "Cao Heizi, you ......"

The two lords, at this time, are like shrews scolding the street, if it weren't for the existence of a large army behind them, I'm afraid that the two of them would have to fight alone! Listen to the crowd will be fluted one by one!

For a long time, the two of them were about tired of scolding, and their anger disappeared, and they suddenly laughed at the same time, Cao Cao said: "Big-eared thief, since the matter has happened, there is no point in studying who is right and who is wrong, it is better to be open-minded, this matter ends here, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Well, that's very good!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Okay, happy! Truce or a big battle, it's up to you! ”

Liu Bei said: "In this case, or according to the prior agreement, you and I will make peace with the two of us, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao clenched his fists and said, "So, go all the way!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Don't send it!" ”

When the generals of Cao Ying saw it, they were all puzzled, and Cao Ren asked, "Big brother, why do you want to withdraw from the army?" ”

Cao Cao said: "You also participated in today's battle, the combat power of Liu Daer's army is not under us, and we have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!" In addition, there are more than 7,000 cavalry on the other side, and our cavalry is much smaller, and we fight with infantry and cavalry, we can't afford that kind of loss, so let's withdraw our troops! Wait for the opportunity, and then use the trick to get rid of it! ”

Cao Ren nodded and said dryly: "Hmph, it's cheaper for them!" ”

Liu Bei's side naturally had a similar conversation.

After the two sides evacuated, Mingjin, who had a very tacit understanding, recalled Yu Ban, Lejin, Chang Xuan, and Zhou Cang who were in the battle, and then dealt with the wounded soldiers separately and buried the corpses without mentioning them.
