The suspension bridge over Peicheng slowly fell to the ground with a dull sound, and then the ground was dusty. Then the majestic city gate slowly opened, and a Xuzhou soldier rushed out from inside, constantly shouting and killing, and the leader was the general Xu Sheng.

Immediately after that, rows of heavy helmeted iron horsemen rushed out of the city in an orderly and unhurried manner.

The heavy sound of iron hooves suppressed the hearts of everyone on the battlefield, and the mighty and tall chain iron horse made people's hearts flutter.

Xiao is Xiahou Yuan saw a lot of knowledge, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise.

The heavy helmets and iron horsemen were in a row of ten, five in a row, and ten in a row, and the soldiers on the horses and horses were all wrapped in fine steel armor, and only their glittering eyes leaked. All soldiers on horseback were armed with iron broadswords and were used to charge into battle. Although the war has not yet started, the neat and mighty momentum and murderous formation have already suppressed those Cao soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and they don't know what to do for a while. Xu Sheng himself and his mount were also wrapped in iron armor, shining silver-white under the sun's rays.

Xiahou Yuan suppressed the corners of the formation, and waited for the battle, the expression on his face was very solemn.

Zhang Liao saw that both sides had established a stable position in the city, and the battle broke out, so he couldn't help but step forward in person to help in the ring.

When all the drummers saw that the master was beating the drums himself, they couldn't help but hold their breath and beat the drums vigorously.

The countless bright flags in the city seemed to be infected, constantly fluttering in the wind, as if to inspire the soldiers to move forward.

The golden drums sounded in unison, the horns soared into the sky, and the Xuzhou soldiers touched their fingers.

"Kill." With the urging of the golden drum, the iron cavalry chain horse began to charge with neat steps, each soldier raised the ring head of the big knife in his hand, shouted a shocking slogan in his mouth, accompanied by the horse's hooves touching the ground, like a thunderous sound, even brought up the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, urging forward. Everywhere they passed, the smoke and dust were billowing and the earth was shaking, and the Cao soldiers had an irresistible feeling.

Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly, and the shock in his heart was indescribable, in his early years, he had heard that there was a group of iron riding chain horses in Xuzhou, but he had been with Zhang Liao in Shanyang for several years, and he had never seen Xuzhou dispatch this batch of troops, so the doubts in his heart slowly disappeared. But now it suddenly appeared, which was really unexpected. Although the speed of the iron cavalry chain horse is not as fast as when the light cavalry charges, the unique sound, the neat and orderly pace, and the extremely impactful formation, every step of the charge, greatly shocked the mood of the soldiers. The form was already like this, Xiahou Yuan could not let the shadow of the soldiers' fear grow, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to start attacking, and he took the lead and took the lead.

The soldiers on both sides poured into the battlefield like a tide. The groups of soldiers who did not touch the front and did not touch the back were intertwined.

The bright and dazzling flags of the two armies kept fluttering in the battlefield.

Xu Sheng was extremely excited, he had trained ironclad chain horses in Xuzhou for many years, and almost supplemented all aspects of this branch of the army to the most perfect point, and it was no longer the team that Zhang Lang formed on a whim, and after hiding for several years, this branch of the army finally pulled out the clouds and said that it could be on the battlefield.

Seeing that the situation was pressing, Xiahou Yuan decisively transferred 5,000 archers to suppress the formation.

The sky was full of arrows, and the dense rain of arrows flew straight towards the enemy formation.

Xu Sheng urged the horse, ignoring the enemy's arrows at all, and commanded the iron horse to rush forward.

Xiahou Yuan saw that the arrows and bows had little effect, so he immediately rushed to kill with a large army.

In just a blink of an eye, the light cavalry on both sides of the Cao army took the lead in rushing out of the battlefield, and then the Chinese infantry regiment also began to participate in the battle.

The sound of killing on both sides shook the sky, and Jin Ge burst into bursts.

As soon as the two armies clashed, the Cao soldiers could not resist the powerful impact of the iron cavalry chain horse, although the light cavalry on both sides of the Cao army was extremely mobile, but in the process of charging, as long as they were not careful, they were surrounded by the overlapping iron cavalry array, and they could not get out again. So it was with the cavalry, not to mention the infantry. Not only did a large number of heroic soldiers fall, but the formation was also torn apart by the impact, and it was divided into various small divisions to fight alone. No matter how hard Cao Bing slashed, at most he could only stop the speed of the charge, but there was no damage to the horses and soldiers, and the soldiers with iron armor all over his body seized the opportunity to slash and kill. Everywhere resounded the sound of Cao Jun's terrible screams and pain falling to the ground.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were as red as blood, his heart was like a knife, and the palm of the hand holding the weapon could break a person's bones. But what's the use of that? For a while, he couldn't think of a good way, so he could only watch Xuzhou Tie riding horses and fish his own subordinate soldiers.

"Ahh With another scream, Xiahou Yuan's mind was picked up again. This kind of voice has been heard countless times in front of him, and every time it sounds, Xiahou Yuan's heart is like a thorn. It was only a short time before the two armies came into contact that hundreds of Xiahou's troops fell, all of them dead and unrecognizable.

Rows of iron horses, taking neat steps, are like moving fortresses, forcing Cao's soldiers to retreat.

The iron horse not only has a strong impact, but also has a lot of destructive power, the soldier is injured and falls to the ground, a row of horses trampling on the ground, flashing a little slower soldiers, either to the soldiers on the horse with a big knife to cut the head of the corpse, or to trample the horses alive into meat sauce, miserable.

And Xu Sheng's ironclad horse is particularly conspicuous, he is like a banner, constantly guiding the troops forward.

Xu Sheng also held a ring-headed broadsword, one person rushed in front, and behind him was a row after row of chain horses.

A group of Cao soldiers was obviously not convinced, and rushed up, intending to cut off the horse's hooves.

Xu Sheng completely ignored Cao Bing's attack, but kept flying the ring head knife, and that group of soldiers had almost no backhand power, either they were knocked over by the horses, or they cut down Xu Sheng, and the blood flowed profusely. Although the knives of a few Cao soldiers hit the target, because many important parts of the horses were covered with iron armor, they could not cause any damage at all.

"Kill." Xu Sheng has fought for so many years, and he has never been so cool as today, and he can't help but shout when he kills his surname, encouraging the soldiers to keep rushing forward to the enemy formation.

"Kill." The iron cavalry responded to Xu Sheng's slogan, and the momentum was like a rainbow and unbreakable.

Xiahou Yuan's army formation has been broken, his sharpness has been lost, and everyone is in danger.

The Iron Horse Chained Horse broke through directly from the center all the way, and it was torn apart by the defense line without any stubborn resistance.

Xiahou Yuan was unwilling to be defeated in this way, and personally led his troops to rush up.

A platoon of cavalry, both men and horses were covered with armor, and the originally cold blue armor had turned dark red, and the blood of countless soldiers was stained on it. And between each horse, there is an iron chain connected to it, and there is a plate buckle on the horse's head, which can be unfastened at any time. They rushed up with neat and powerful steps, calm and murderous.

Xiahou Yuan swung his horse and rushed straight up, and the long knife slashed through the air with a frost-like light, slashing at the armored soldier's body, making a crisp "dangdang" sound. Due to Xiahou Yuan's strength through the blade, how great the strength was, the long knife not only broke through the armor, but also the soldiers on the horse were cut down and fell to the ground, with a trace of blood in the air. The soldier struggled on the ground a few times, and then got up again.

Xiahou Yuan's eyes were almost green, he couldn't believe what he saw, it was a miracle to bear eighty percent of his strength and not be cut off by his waist, and now he was still alive, and he was only a little injured depending on the situation, how did he accept this?

One of the ironclad horses fell to the ground, which did not affect the charge of the other horses, and a row of iron-chested horses only paused, and rushed up again, along with the empty horse. The ring-headed broadswords of the soldiers on the left and right horses had quickly shrouded Xiahou Yuan's body.

Xiahou Yuan was in danger, his mount kept retreating, and his long knives fluttered around, swinging away the attacks of the armor soldiers.

Xiahou Yuan's martial arts are strong, and there will be no problems for a while, but where can his subordinates block the impact of the iron cavalry chain of horses, and they are constantly losing and retreating, and there are constantly soldiers screaming everywhere, trampled to death by horses.

Xiahou Yuan tried his might, and saw that the iron horse was invincible, and his army was defeated with almost no resistance. Knowing that he was invincible, he had no choice but to order the soldiers to retreat and then think of a good plan to break the enemy.

The defeat was like a mountain, and all the Cao soldiers ran faster than anything else, losing their armor one by one, and fleeing without their lives.

Although the speed of the ironclad chain horse is slow, no matter how slow it is, it is faster than a person, where would Xu Sheng let go of such a great opportunity, and began to let the iron cavalry continue to pursue, and the Xiahou Yuan troops killed were bloody, and the corpses were like mountains, and they kept fleeing from the wilderness, and returned defeated.

Zhang Liao saw Xiahou Yuan's defeat and retreat in the city, the military flag waved, the city gate was opened again, and the 5,000 light cavalry and 10,000 infantry who were ready to go out immediately went out and began to chase all the way. Xiahou Yuan was defeated for dozens of miles all the way, and he was helpless in the face of Zhang Liao's iron cavalry for several days, and he was defeated in successive battles. Soon Fengxian fell, so he could only retreat to Shanyang and begin to defend it.

With Zhang Liao's iron cavalry and chain of horses singing all the way and winning victories, the Jinan front finally made a breakthrough. Tai Shi Ci made a surprise attack, and ordered his eighteen-year-old son Tai Shi Heng to lead thousands of soldiers to climb Mount Tai through the path, and attack Cao Ang from behind him. Tai Shi Heng went through a lot of hardships, climbed over countless strange peaks and steep peaks, the road was dangerous Mount Tai, from the rear straight to Cao Bing's base camp, Cao Ang could not respond, was broken by Tai Shi Ci in Tai'an, defeated and fled Mount Tai. Tai Shi Heng chased all the way, met in Zhangqiu, and Tai Shi Heng angrily beheaded Cao Ang, the famous general of Cao Ying, and began to become famous.

Tai Shici had Tai'an, and immediately began to attack Juping, trying to take advantage of Cao Xiu's troops to open up the two water defense lines of Si and Wen, control the upstream, and prepare to dig water to connect the Yellow River.

Cao Xiu knew that Juping was lost and Dong'e was in danger, so he came up non-stop at night. I didn't know that I was lying down by Gao Shun, who had been prepared for a long time. Taking advantage of Cao Xiu's rapid march to establish a village that was not stable, and the three armies were tired, they fell into the camp three times in and three out, seized the camp and rushed out overnight, burned Cao Zhai, and killed Cao soldiers with armor all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, and mourning was everywhere.

Cao Xiu continued to lose troops and lose generals, and his spirit was greatly frustrated. When they reassembled and wanted to fight with Gao Shun, Gao Shun had already fled away with his troops, secretly haunting around Shanyang, hoping to find a good opportunity to attack Xiahou Yuan with Zhang Liao.

Cao Xiu lost thousands of soldiers' lives in vain, but the military situation in Juyang was urgent, so he could only continue to go north.

At this time, Tai Shici was once again bold and surprising, ordering the deputy general to take Licheng, the northeast gateway of Jinan, to suppress Jinan, so that Cao Xiu did not dare to act rashly. Then he sent a team to take the path and pretend to attack the Jishui Ferry, making the appearance of preparing to cross the Yellow River north.

Cao Xiu panicked at this time, if the Xuzhou army really crossed the Yellow River north, behind it was a horse Pingchuan, there was no danger to defend, the Xuzhou soldiers could attack everywhere without scruples, Cao Yingzhi could destroy Yuan Shao and then immediately waved his army south, to a large extent, relying on the strong foundation of Hebei, although it is almost impossible to occupy the territory of Hebei with the current strength of the Xuzhou army, but if they go around destroying and messing up, burning grain and cutting off the road, it is enough to destroy gold and silver.

Cao Xiu was in a panic, made a stupid move, and led 10,000 horses to rush back to Jinan, leaving 10,000 horses to guard Juping. This happened to fall into Tai Shi Ci's plan, Tai Shi Ci went north is fake, and it is true that he transferred most of Juping's troops, he saw that Cao Xiu was really deceived, divided his troops into Jinan, and immediately turned his gun, gathered all the troops, and began to launch the most fierce offensive against Juping. Cao's soldiers could not resist for ten days, so they opened the city and surrendered to welcome the Xuzhou soldiers into the city.

Once Dong'e can't stand it, Yanzhou will not be protected, not only Xiahou Yuan will suffer from the enemy on his back, but even Cao Ying's army in the middle of the road will face the situation of being caught in the back road and being attacked on both sides.

Turmoil began in Yanzhou, and unrest appeared in the Central Plains. The Jiangdong Group told Cao Ying with a strong attack that they were going to start the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

After taking Juping, Tai Shici stopped his advance slightly and began to strengthen the defensive line to prevent Cao's army from counterattacking.

And Xiahou Yuan was helpless, he didn't know what to do, so he could only call Cao Ying overnight.

After Cao Ying received the news, he summoned all the strategists overnight to discuss the military situation.

Xi Zhicai said: "Zhang Lang defended the middle of the southern line of the Huai River and led the attack, and contained the main force of our army on the Huaisi line. However, their two flanks gathered elite soldiers and strong generals to attack continuously, one route was the Confucian marshal Zhou Yu marched from Nanyang to Yingchuan, and the other route was the famous general Zhang Liao marched from Xuzhou to Dong'e. Obviously, Zhang Lang was not satisfied with the status quo and began the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and Xuzhou and Jingzhou were their springboards to the north. Now it seems that except for Nanyang being restrained by Lord Xun all the way to the front line of Xuzhou, General Xiahou obviously can't withstand Zhang Liao's attack. If anything goes wrong, Zhang Lang can let Zhang Liao's army go north to the Central Plains and invade the Yellow River. ”

Cao Ying was extremely puzzled: "Miaocai has been with Zhang Liao in Shanyang for many years, and he should know the bottom of his art of war, why not only did he change from active to passive this time, but also lost Juping, so that Yanzhou was in danger?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The news from the spies said that Zhang Lang arranged Tai Shici, Gao Shun and other famous generals in Jiangzhong to complement each other the year before last, and asked the famous scholar Tian Feng to help him before the war. ”

Cao Ying said: "What is the good plan of the military division?" ”

The drama is silent.

Seeing this, Cao Ying turned his eyes to Jia Xu, a strategist who could rank first and second in the late Han Dynasty.
