356. The battle began
"Are you here?"
Liu Bei and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and fell from under the canopy, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two righteous brothers and the tiger fooled each other, and hurriedly protected him.
Cao Cao's eyes looked at the source of the shock, his expression was heavy, and his nose fluttered, as if he smelled a trace of blood, as well as the restlessness of the gunsmoke.
The military flag gradually walked out of the horizon, blood red, the tiger chased the moon, the fangs and tiger claws, far away, still clearly appeared in the eyes of everyone.
"Here we are." Cao Cao muttered, and the wheel in his hand suddenly tightened.
"Prepare for battle."
Liu Bei and Cao Cao shouted tacitly, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, Liu Bei returned to his own battle formation under the protection of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other generals, and the generals of the Cao army did not care about Liu Bei's life or death, Cao's Xiahou clan and many generals with foreign surnames all turned over and got on their horses, and the tiger and leopard rode vigilantly at the approaching military formation, and his palms were slightly tight.
No one laughed at anyone, this solemnity like a great enemy gradually spread, that is, the palms of the strategists who accompanied the army were a little sweaty, no matter what, and the prestige of the tiger wolf, but it was smeared with blood, the rookie tiger wolf division was not inferior to Dong Zhuo's elite Xiliang army, and in the early stage when the soldiers and horses of the princes had not been tempered to the extreme, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could definitely be called an invincible division, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not be able to rely on the Xiliang army of more than ten or two hundred thousand to be the enemy of the world, As the tiger and wolf army that rose after the Xiliang Army, this army covered in swarthy armor and a hundred battles once killed at home, slaughtering the Xiliang Army that poured into the state, who dares to underestimate this alone.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei were watching. Eyes wide open.
The vanguard of more than 10,000 light cavalry troops slowly opened the way. All of them have big shoulders and thick waists. He is equipped with a spear as standard, a large sword hanging from his waist, a quiver on the left side of the horse, and a strong bow on the right.
The appearance of more than 10,000 fierce light cavalry alone has made Liu Bei and Cao Cao's pupils shrink, and as the light cavalry advances, more powerful 10,000 cavalry appear, compared with the ordinary tiger and wolf army, the battalions of the Chinese army. They are all elite combat battalions directly under the major generals, without a few brushes, how can they be mixed in the army of Bingzhou, whether it is Ju Yi's first camp, or Xu Huang's teaching camp, or even the wolf cavalry that has taken off its heavy armor, they have all grown up from blood and fire, and with the golden armor figure entering their sight, the soldiers and horses of the various battalions that make up the Chinese army have made the faces of the veterans in the Cao and Liu armies who are also experienced in a hundred battles change greatly.
"This is the temperament of an invincible teacher"
Cao Cao drew his horsewhip. Pointing to the military formation of the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army, Da Lu smiled and said, "In the future, you will also become a powerful army. Fight with me in the north and south. ”
The faces of dozens of generals softened slightly, and the generals who were shocked by the powerful lineup of the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army all looked at Cao Cao and nodded heavily.
In the crowd, Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao, and the corners of his mouth pursed a trace of admiration.
Thinking like this idiom to describe Cao Cao in the most appropriate, as soon as he found that the generals under his command were shocked by the strong momentum of the tiger wolf in the state, Cao Cao pointed out at the first time, and at the same time it can be regarded as cheering for the soldiers, the major generals are the executors of the strategy, if even the generals are timid, this battle does not need to be fought at all, this is not what Cao Cao wants to see, and the tiger wolf in the state is indeed powerful, so strong that even the generals of the Cao family Xiahou are like facing the enemy with a solemn expression, but, the battle of Chang'an, the two sides have no way to retreat, In order for Chang'an not to fall into the hands of Yuan Shang, whether it can be stopped or not, Cao Cao must try his best to prevent Yuan Shang from entering Chang'an City, otherwise Yuan Shang, who occupies Chang'an and even Guanzhong, will no longer be a Yanzhou or a Xuzhou that can be contained.
Liu Bei also knows the importance of this battle, more than a dozen generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't have to worry about him, only the new Xuzhou generals have not yet completely returned to their hearts, and there are still too many uncertainties about this battle.
Liu Bei is not Cao Cao after all, Cao Cao's control of Yanzhou has been several years of hard work, a few years, with Cao Cao's wrist, Yanzhou up and down, it is definitely a word, civil and military, much stronger than Liu Bei.
At the moment, what Liu Bei can really control is Guan Zhang and five or six generals, and ordinary soldiers are even weaker, if you use this to deal with Yuan Shang, don't say that others, including Liu Bei himself, are also not sure at all, but, for the sake of Liu Han's great cause, in order to curb Yuan Shang's continued expansion, Liu Bei rushed over, if he was given another two years, this scene would naturally no longer exist, the key is not to wait for him, whether it is the neighbor Cao Cao, or Yuan Shu, they are all staring at Xuzhou's fat, If it weren't for Yuan Shang, a common enemy, I'm afraid that Cao Cao, who was leaning on the edge of Xuzhou, would have already attacked him, so how could there be today's hand in hand.
No matter what, Liu Bei's expression is still very firm, even if tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers and horses are disabled, as long as Yuan Shang can't get what he wants, Liu Bei's goal has been achieved, and he thinks deeper, with Liu Bei's seemingly benevolent but unrighteous heroic mentality, these tens of thousands of inherent Xuzhou soldiers and horses can be given up at any time, as long as Xuzhou is not lost, with Xuzhou's wealth, it is not a problem to pull up another 100,000 soldiers and horses at any time, and even, Liu Bei actually hopes to be able to solve all those thorns that disobey him after this battle. Don't look at this person's benevolent appearance, only Cao Cao, a person like Cao Cao, who is also a hero, is well versed in the same kind of heart, if Liu Bei is kind and kind, Cao Cao 110,000 do not believe it.
"Big Brother"
Zhang Fei's blazing eyes looked at Liu Bei, and he stopped talking.
After so many years of getting along with the brothers, Liu Bei naturally knew what Guan Yu wanted to say, but he was slightly impatient and interrupted: "According to the arrangement agreed in advance, let Cao Hong and Cao Bao Rong be the pioneers, and wait for the Chinese army." ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he wanted to say more, but was stopped by Guan Yu on the side.
"Third brother, listen to the eldest brother's orders." The heroic Guan Yu said in a deep voice.
Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Bei, who was facing him with his back to him, and said in a low voice: "But the eldest brother wants them to die, forget about Cao Bao's house, forget about Cao Bao and Cao Bao, those low-level generals under their command are all the backbone of the army, if they all die in battle, it will be a great loss for our army." ”
Guan Yu didn't know this, but he had always been accustomed to Liu Bei's orders, in addition to obedience, it was obedience, since Liu Bei wanted to borrow the hands of others to get rid of a few people, Guan Yu could only ignore it.
"Third brother, listen to the eldest brother, the eldest brother naturally has a reason to do this." Guan Yu said in a muffled voice.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "That's a full seventy or eighty branches of the military with more than ten years of military career." ”
Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei silently, and like Liu Bei, he turned around, this action was already the best answer to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was completely dead this time, and shook his head with some regret, but saw the five-colored small flag of the commander beside Liu Bei swaying, and with the sound of a calm and powerful horn, the old Tao Qian veterans who were arranged by Liu Bei in the front military array slowly advanced forward.
Cao Cao was not idle, Cao Jun's military formation was more rigorous than Liu Jun's, different from Liu Bei's selfishness, Cao Cao arranged the formation more objectively, by Cao Chun, Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun and Le Jin, who was extremely top-notch in attacking the fortification, as the vanguard, eight thousand elite front troops, like the sharpness of arrows, and the two wings were led forward by Yu Ban and Li Dian, who were good at guarding.
"Kill."
Yuan Shang, who was wearing a golden armor, had no intention of arguing with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, if he still had concerns before leaving the camp, another latest piece of information he received less than ten minutes ago made Yuan Shang give up waiting.
More than 50,000 tigers and wolves, black-clothed and black-armed, neighing war horses, with Yuan Shang's order, the generals and captains shouted, the blood-boiling war drums sounded, and the monstrous war spirit suddenly rushed to Cao Jun and Liu Bei's Xuzhou army.
"Kill" Liu Bei also shouted angrily, the Chinese army did not move, and the front army led by Zhenrong Cao Bao and several people took the lead in rushing out, all of them were foot soldiers, and there were 20,000 people in yellow clothes.
"Up."
Cao Jun glanced at Liu Bei, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Cao Ren, Cao Ren understood, the command flag in his hand swayed, and the eight thousand arrows of the front army stabbed out fiercely, the eight thousand front army, the foot soldiers were in front, the marksman was behind, and the light horses on the two wings rolled up the smoke and dust, in addition to the middle army and the rear army did not move, the eight thousand arrows in the front fell army, and the 10,000 light cavalry on both wings, were thrown into the battlefield by Cao Cao without hesitation.
The big war is about to break out. (To be continued......)
