"Ready for battle." Zhang Chao sat high on the dragoon, looked at the Wei cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and shouted.

"Prepare your bow and arrows!" After hearing the order, the 10,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, under the leadership of the five generals Zhang Rui, Zhang Feng, Zhang Shou, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, took the longbow behind their backs in their hands and were ready to release arrows at any time.

The enemy army is fierce, and if it is replaced by an ordinary army, it may be afraid of this murderous aura, and the morale will fall, or even chaos.

But when facing the most elite Zhangjia heavy cavalry in the world, there was indeed no one in chaos, and none of them retreated, on the contrary, under the stimulation of such a fighting spirit, the Zhangjia heavy cavalry was more warlike and killed.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was only four hundred paces, the order to release the arrows was conveyed from Zhang Chao's mouth, and without waiting for the five generals to give the order, ten thousand iron-tipped bows and arrows shot out at Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry who rushed towards them.

After a bow and arrow was fired, 10,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhang family rushed out from the east, south, west and north under the leadership of Zhang Rui's four generals. However, Zhang Shou led 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhang family without moving, as if they were not the ones who were going to fight.

Ten thousand bows and arrows were fired, giving the onrushing tiger and leopard riders a head-on blow, and it was visible to the naked eye that at least two or three thousand cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows.

The heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, because of the heavy load of horses, rarely used bows and arrows against the enemy. However, this does not prove that their cavalry and archery skills are weak, on the contrary, because their bows and arrows are made of weighted iron tips, and their bows and arrows are only as lethal as other cavalrymen.

This time, as soon as the bow and arrow were drawn, more than 2,000 people were killed, which was completely reasonable. Even if the opponent is a tiger and leopard rider, the effect is the same.

The shooting of the bow and arrow killed and injured the enemy, and also caused a brief confusion in the opponent's shock camp, and it was by taking this opportunity that the eight thousand heavy cavalry of the Zhang family rushed out, and each of them took out a three-meter-long giant knife in their hands and slid to the left and right.

The giant knife is one of the stunts of the Zhang family's heavy cavalry, relying on the weight of the cavalry itself that is higher than that of ordinary horsemen, plus the cooperation of sharp broadswords, so that they are invincible.

On Cao Cao's side, Cao Zhang led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride to deal with Yan Liang; Wen hired 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride to deal with Wen Chou; Zhu Ling led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride against Zhang Rui; Lü Chang led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride in response to Zhang's attack. The other 10,000 people were led by Cao Cao, with Cao Xiu as the main general, and 10,000 and 5,000 tigers and leopards to besiege Zhang Chao's mountain bag.

Both sides have been prepared for a long time, and a chaotic battle begins...

The heavy cavalry of the Zhang family had already prepared, and a wave of bows and arrows was shot out in advance, although they took the lead, but the number was still too small after all, with two thousand against five thousand, the battle situation entered a state of stalemate. This is because they are the elite of the elite, otherwise, the ordinary cavalry is not said to be 2,000, even 20,000 will not take advantage of the 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and there is even the possibility of being defeated at any time.

Let's not talk about cavalry vs. cavalry, the two sides fought together, and there were countless casualties, let's just say that before the 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Cao personally rushed to the mountain bag, they encountered the army of the trapped camp led by General Gao Shun, who had been prepared here.

In terms of the weight of individual soldiers, no one is trapped in the camp.

Each soldier was heavily armoured, and was protected except for the mouth, nose, and eyes.

This is an invincible and invincible warrior army, but this time when facing the equally elite and world-famous tiger and leopard riders, the pressure is also not small, and because of the number, there is no advantage at all.

Infantry vs. cavalry, there is a disadvantage, plus the reason for the number, although he has heard of the name of the camp, but Cao Cao still did not put it in his eyes, in his opinion, the outcome of this battle has long been doomed, the only difference is how long it will take.

In fact, it is true, after the tiger and leopard rode away, the trapped camp seemed to have the intention of rout, they retreated again and again, and the work between the teas gave up a distance of hundreds of meters.

Seeing that the trapped camp was retreating, and even Zhang Chao's face in Shanbao could be vaguely seen, Cao Cao became excited at this moment. After so many years of fighting, it was the first time that he felt that he was so close to Zhang Chao, and the success of the great cause seemed to be within reach.

Don't look at the current Wei State has no territory, even the army has nothing left, and the military generals of Wenchen have lost a lot, but Cao Cao is confident that as long as he kills Zhang Chao, he can still rise from the east and shake the mountains and rivers. Even he thought about it in his heart, he also wanted to learn from Zhang Zhiyuan and occupy the north first, so that he would have a support, at that time, whether he was out of the Central Plains or pointing at the northeast, he could do whatever he wanted.

After fighting with Zhang Chao for a long time, Cao Cao had already summed up his experience, that is, the reason why the Celestial Empire could be so big was because his background was rich enough and his foundation was solid enough, and these were all reasons why they occupied the north. It's far from being like himself, although he seems to occupy the Central Plains, but the southeast and northwest are full of enemies, and they need time to protect, where can they use all their strength to complete their dreams?

Even Cao Cao thought that if he did not occupy the Central Plains at the beginning, but lived in a corner, in the case of worry-free rear, maybe his construction skills would be even bigger than Zhang Chao?

Under the excitement in his heart, Cao Cao kept giving orders to Cao Xiu, asking him to speed up the pace of the attack, according to the current situation, don't say it's been two days, I'm afraid that Zhang Chao can't hold on to it even if it's a day. So what if he arranged an ambush outside? As long as he really killed this person, it would naturally be difficult for others to put it in his eyes, and even he had great confidence that he could subdue the forces of the Celestial Empire for his own use.

Cao Cao is conceited, but he does have the capital to be conceited.

Whether it is mind, resourcefulness, or personal charm, he thinks that he is no worse than Zhang Chao, the only drawback is that his vision is not as good as that of the other party, and he did not choose a suitable territory, which wasted countless years.

Cao Cao seems to have realized and seems to have seen a better future, but what he knows more clearly in his heart is that if he wants to have everything again, Zhang Chao is the one who must be killed, which means that this time Zhang Zhiyuan will die!

The warriors who were trapped in the camp were retreating, giving up hundreds of meters of territory, as if they were about to be overwhelmed. But if you have the heart to pay attention, you will find that although they have given up their territory, but the actual strength is not damaged, although the offensive of the tiger and leopard cavalry is very fierce, and with the advantage of the cavalry, there will always be various weapons constantly hitting the body of the warriors in the camp, but because of the heavy armor, there are not many soldiers who are really injured.

Not only that, but the retreat of the soldiers trapped in the camp was not disordered, so it can be seen that they were not beaten back, but deliberately retreated.

It's just that Cao Cao's morale is at his peak, and he doesn't pay attention to himself at all. It wasn't until the army had slaughtered the flat ground and began to pour up the hill that they found themselves in front of them countless intersecting ditches.

Each of these ditches was so deep and wide that it was impossible for the cavalry to jump over. And the only place where there is no horizontal ditch is guarded by heavily armored trapped camp soldiers, and if you want to rush up from here, you need the strength of the cavalry to be dispersed.

The ditch stopped in front of him, and Cao Cao finally knew that Zhang Chaoyuan had been prepared, but at this time in the battle, he couldn't retreat casually. Just like his 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, although it seems that he has suppressed the 8,000 Zhang family heavy cavalry, it is impossible to get out of the battlefield now, at least at least at a very heavy price.

Cao Cao only has these 30,000 families, and he doesn't seem to have a choice.

Even if there is no choice, then don't choose, he still doesn't believe it, with his strength twice as good as the other party, and with the most elite division, don't you believe that even a mountain bag can't be breached?

"The whole army listens to the order, disperses the assault, must kill on the mountain bag, behead Zhang Chao, reward 100,000 gold for meritorious service, and seal the general!" Cao Cao at this moment, in order to achieve the goal of killing Zhang Chao, made a heavy promise at this moment.

Not to mention that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, just saying that the will to fight of the tiger and leopard rider is extremely strong, as long as Cao Cao does not order a retreat, even if it is the last person, they will not choose to retreat.

At the sound of the order, the 10,000 tigers and leopards immediately divided into several directions, looking for a place without a ditch and began to rush towards the top of the mountain.

The impact of the horse from the bottom up, which makes their original advantage much smaller, in addition to the place where the horse can pass, it is very narrow, and it is impossible to even want three horses to pass at the same time, in such an environment and conditions, it vigorously suppresses the development of the tiger and leopard riding ability, on the contrary, as the infantry of the camp warriors can indeed use this advantage to counterattack condescendingly.

Each charge was nothing more than two horses driving side by side, which made the advantage of the war horse no longer exist, and they could not take advantage of the five trapped warriors standing there on the same road.

It is often seen that the giant scythe and broadsword in the hands of the warriors of the trapped camp are swung to the ground, and the front hooves of the healthy horses will be cut off, and then the cavalry will fall off their horses, and soon become the ghosts of the sickles.

Several places, hurriedly impacted for more than half an hour, but none of them were broken, not to mention, and the tiger and leopard riders also lost hundreds of people.

Looking at this result, Cao Cao's brows furrowed deeply, he knew that if he continued to fight like this, he didn't know when he would be able to go to the mountain, and now what he lacked most was time. He believed that Zhang Chao must have teleported what happened here, that is to say, within two days at the earliest, the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire might arrive, and at that time, the advantage of troops should no longer exist, and at that time, it would be up to two to say whether he could still escape.
