Morale is a wonderful thing.

You can't see it, you can't touch it.

But it can really affect the combat effectiveness of an army, and even dominate the victory or defeat of a battle.

Now the Yellow Turban Thieves are in sight blocked.

As a result, it is impossible to judge with your eyes what the scale of this cavalry that appeared on the battlefield is.

And the unknown is precisely the most frightening!

In particular, the horse's hooves after nailing the horseshoe will have a very crisp sound when they are running and tapping in the dust, which also causes the vibration and sound effects to be very obvious when the horses are galloping.

Plus the shouts from the top of the city.

So that people can't help but believe three points out of thin air.

So all of a sudden.

The huge army of tens of thousands of people was disheartened by a cavalry of unknown origins.

And as the vibration becomes more and more intense.

The epicenter is getting closer and closer to itself.

This sense of restlessness is also becoming more and more obvious.

The formation, which was originally tightly huddled, also became chaotic because of the fear and turmoil in the hearts of the soldiers.

See this.

Generals and schools at all levels hurriedly spoke out to appease.

"All half-crouch down, hold the weapons in your hands, don't be afraid, the enemy army doesn't have many cavalry!"

"Qu Shuai said, our army will win this battle, as long as we take this city, open the warehouse to release grain, and eat for three days with an open belly!"

"Don't move, don't run around, if anyone dares to take a step back, they will be killed!"

Envy and grace.

It is both good words to appease and words to deter.

But it didn't really work.

It is very difficult for an army to pull it back in words when its morale is rapidly declining.

As a result, the formation is still slowly collapsing.

There are constantly people quietly retreating, ready to run away at any time, but they are afraid of military discipline in the army, and there has not yet been a major collapse.

And against such a background.

It's coming.

It's just a few breaths away.

Cao Ang and Dian Wei rushed to the front with dozens of horses, and Dian Wei's mountain-like figure suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Panic, collapse and fear, began to intensify!

……

"Hahahaha!"

"Kill! Kill me! ”

"Charge the whole army and step on the brains of these thieves!"

Dian Wei is like a fierce star demon god.

Every word shouted could make the Yellow Turban soldiers tremble and tremble.

Especially his thunderous voice, even if he was laughing, it sounded like a demon beast's roar, like a demon seed descending from the sky.

With his swarthy figure that rushed out of the smoke and dust, like a copper mountain tower, he rode on horseback and occupied a large area.

It's like a dragon breaking through the sea, and a tiger comes out of the abyss!

And after Dian Wei roared.

The thousand cavalry who arrived immediately after, under the command of Cao Chun, moved in unison, and made the same sound in the interval of a few seconds before and after.

"Kill !!"

Just like Mount Tai falling, the river and the sea attacked.

It's heartbreaking, it's a big deal!

Everyone only felt that under the smoke and dust, there were cavalry everywhere, and there was no sound of horses' hooves in their ears.

The figures are earth-shattering, and they only make people feel that this rushing here seems to be really tens of thousands of cavalry.

Especially before becoming rebellious soldiers, these Yellow Turban thieves were just ordinary people, and they did not have any high psychological quality at all.

Half squatting down at the moment.

Tilt your head slightly and look ahead.

The cavalry that charged was on horseback, and its height was already a lot higher, like giants galloping towards them.

The sense of oppression can be imagined!

……

Such a terrifying momentum became the last straw that overwhelmed the psychological defense line of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

It was already on the verge of chaos.

This time it exploded even more.

The morale of the whole army collapsed in an instant.

No one wanted to die inexplicably, let alone wait for the tens of thousands of cavalry to rush to the front and back, trampling them one by one with their horses' hooves.

Although he followed the rebel army to attack the city and steal food, he already pinned his head to the belt of his trousers, and he could give his life at any time.

But fear in the face of giants.

This is imprinted in the depths of the soul.

There is no way to avoid it!

Therefore, when the cavalry issued the charge call again, the Yellow Turban Army was completely disorganized.

"Run!"

"Run, run!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want food, I surrender!"

And more people.

is to close his mouth and run backwards silently, wishing to grow two more legs.

Don't want to get rid of the cavalry behind you, just run faster than others, and someone can back you.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain.

From the moment the whole army collapsed, there was no one left to contain the deterioration of the situation.

Even the middle and lower-level generals and officers were mixed in the crowd and fled with everyone.

Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Zhang Rao, looking at the scene in front of him like the fall of the heavenly pillar, his face was already full of despair and grief.

He didn't expect that.

He was once again broken by the cavalry.

Could it be that he was restrained by cavalry in his life?

I really hate it!

Zhang Rao had the urge to carry a sword to duel with the cavalry commander, but before he could put it into action with a hot head, he was dragged away by the generals on the left and right.

"Qu Shuai, it's better to go first, and then gather the remnants after getting out of danger!"

As soon as Zhang Rao walked like this, several flags representing the generals in the army fell down because no one paid attention to them, and the defeated soldiers broke up faster.

Even the coach slipped away, and he was a fart!

……

Cao Ang looked at the crowd in front of him like a tidal wave, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

It was exactly as he expected.

When all kinds of deceptive factors are stacked together, and the more than 1,000 cavalry of him are inflated to the point that they can be deterred by tens of thousands of people, it is enough to cause the enemy army to crush without a fight.

As a pioneer at the forefront.

Before Cao Ang could even launch the first wave of attacks, his horse's hooves didn't even touch a man's head, and the Yellow Turban Thief collapsed.

This is the real war!

After a little excitement in my heart.

Cao Ang no longer wasted time.

Immediately patted the tweet on the shoulder.

The little golden eagle suddenly flapped its wings and flew high, rushing straight into the sky, and let out a series of sharp chirps.

And the defenders who are waiting in the city at this moment.

After hearing this familiar signal, he immediately opened the city gate under the leadership of the county commander Lin Shao, and rushed out, one or two even running out on the flames that had not yet been extinguished.

It doesn't matter what formation is not in the right shape.

At this time, it is to beat the water dogs.

Hurry up and go straight to the front for support.

After sending the signal, Cao Ang then instructed to the left and right: "Find a place where there are many people, hit him twice for me, and open a way." ”

"Adian, you have a loud voice, and you are shouting surrender with the rest of your brothers!"

With so many people, it is definitely impossible to kill them, and if you really want to use a butcher's knife, it is likely to expose the truth and truth.

And with so many people, being driven elsewhere is likely to cause local chaos.

Therefore, it is best to surrender.

…………

The soldiers obeyed Cao Ang's orders.

Finding two piles of people, they rushed straight up, although the horses under their seats were not wearing horse armor, but this did not prevent the deserters from chasing after them.

The fierce horses, in the hands of well-trained cavalry, exerted great power.

Yellow Turban soldiers running ahead.

Listening to the continuous screams from behind, I shivered even more, and my body was cold.

How do you outrun four legs on two legs?

If you continue to run like this, I am afraid that over time, everyone will become the ghosts of the pursuers in the rear.

Just when the defeated soldiers were desperate.

Suddenly there were bursts of shouts on the battlefield.

"Put aside the weapons, don't kill those who fall on the ground!"

"Surrender immediately, don't struggle for nothing!"

The two sentences shouted back and forth.

With the cavalry constantly chasing.

The sound echoed throughout the battlefield.

And after hearing the sound of surrender, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers immediately stopped as if they had been amnestied.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

All of a sudden.

The ground was littered with spears and other weapons, and many people threw them far away, eager to cut their positions with these weapons on the spot.

And after throwing away the weapon.

Almost all of them are busy lying down, for fear that if they move slowly, they will probably become the next target to be harvested.

And so on three times.

There was no longer a single person standing on the battlefield, except for the cavalry galloping on horseback and the defenders hurrying in from the rear to support.

Not surrender on the ground.

It's just that it's already out of the battlefield.

In less than half a day of fierce fighting, the victory and defeat of the two armies were divided.

……

"General! What do you think about it here? ”

Lin Shao ran over panting with anger, pointed to the troops all over the ground, and asked with some embarrassment.

The defenders are now less than 5,000, even if you count the militia and young men in the county, it is only more than 5,000.

On the other hand, there are troops all over the place.

Even if some of them had already been damaged in the previous battle, and some escaped during the rout, there were at least 30,000 or more people here.

This means that each person in the Cao army needs to take care of six prisoners at the same time, and the difference in the number of enemies and friends is too great.

If one is not handled well.

It is very likely to lead to a rebellion by the rebels who have already surrendered, and it will inevitably cause great trouble at that time.

Cao Ang rode on horseback.

After making a round around the left and right.

He frowned lightly and said: "Separate some people, first collect all the weapons on the ground, without weapons, the threat of their resistance will be smaller." ”

"Let some people from the city, as well as those from large families who take care of their homes and homes, also come out together, and they will be more or less strong when they are crowded together."

"Separate and detain all those who surrender, and those who are dressed differently from others should be locked up separately, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers should also be kept in multiple places separately, and the number of prisoners in one place must not be too large, otherwise it will be uncontrollable."

After waiting for Lin County's order to receive the order and leave.

Cao Ang patted Dian Wei's arm again.

"Adian, you take people and patrol the field all the time, but anyone who dares to take the lead, as long as there is a slight sign of restlessness, they will be killed on the spot!"

"There is a mistake to kill, and there is no spare!"

"The last general commands!"

After Dian Wei clenched his fists, he held a double halberd and rode away majestically.

……

After arranging these two places.

Cao Ang looked at Cao Chun on the side again, lowered his voice, and asked quietly: "Zihe, did you send the people I asked you to send to Juancheng?" ”

Cao Chun also nodded quietly.

"The general can rest assured, his subordinates have sent several people to take multiple roads to Juancheng, if you run with all your might, it won't be long before you can see General Xiahou."

Cao Ang bowed slightly.

Xiahou Yuan didn't have a moment, and Cao Ang couldn't let go of the worry in his heart for a moment.

This is not a game after all.

It is impossible to have only more than 1,000 troops of his own army, so he leads tens of thousands of wounded soldiers and soldiers to go around, and even go to cut off food and build arrow towers.

Only when Xiahou Yuan's 5,000-strong army came over to rendezvous, and there were tens of thousands of people on both sides, and he managed these prisoners at that time, he could rest assured.

"By the way, let the brothers remove the last few horses and the things on their tails, so that no flaws can be revealed at this time."

Cao Chun heard this.

Suddenly, I slapped the door of my head.

I almost forgot about it.

The last few horses were tied to their tails with some branches and large leaves, which were dragged on the ground during the previous galloping charge, which produced a large amount of dust.

Thus confusing the enemy and making them mistakenly believe that thousands of troops are coming.

Now that the enemy has surrendered, it is necessary to cover up all these possible cowardice places.

…………

The post-war work was extremely complex.

Moreover, the number of prisoners was overloaded, and the previous battle to attack and defend the city was so fierce that a lot of manpower had to be invested in cleaning the battlefield.

So much so that after Cao Chun said a few words by his side.

I could only say hello to Cao Ang and lead a group of people to devote themselves to complicated affairs.

All of a sudden.

Only Cao Ang and a few of his own soldiers were left in place.

looked at Cao Jun's busy figure.

Cao Ang suddenly felt that the worries he had had before were really unnecessary.

You should be happy at this time.

We've won a big battle!

Winning more with less, beating ten times the strength of the army, spreading it can make him famous all over the world, and even become a battlefield warrior on a par with Gongsun Zhan.

Such a feat.

You should be excited.

Come to think of it.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile on his face, and the whole person stretched out extremely relaxed, and the burden that had been pressing on his heart was directly skimmed off more than half.

I heard that after the generals won the battle at the front, they would send good news to the rear.

Should I also draft a war report and send it back to Dingtao County as soon as possible, so that my father Cao Cao was also surprised and shocked by himself?

Just do it.

After Cao Ang was ready to deal with the matter in front of him, he immediately drafted a battle report when he returned to the county seat and sent someone to send it back quickly.

Of course.

Excitement at this time does not mean that Cao Ang is complacent.

He actually knew one thing very well in his heart.

That's a fluke in winning this battle.

A strong south wind, thousands of cavalry, fierce Dian Wei, the opponent is a wanderer.

It was all these factors that came together to lead to a big victory.

One or two of them are missing.

I'm afraid the tide is about to be reversed.

…………

A full hour later.

Before it gets dark.

Cao Jun finally completed all the surrendered troops for the time being, and escorted them to the city and military camps in batches, and then only needed to keep them properly suppressed.

It's worth mentioning though.

Among the captured enemy soldiers, there was actually a senior general, that is, one of the few people who had been staying by the side of the commander Zhang Rao.

This guy is also in bad fate.

In the process of escaping, the war horse pouted its hooves, and seemed to be too frightened to stand up.

So much so that they could only be forced to surrender.

This is a windfall.

Generally, a high-ranking general like this must know some specific information, such as which direction Zhang Rao and others will run in after fleeing.

There is also how their troops were divided on the road when they came, and how many people went to Yuncheng, which Zhang Liao guarded.

Or what kind of situation is it with Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and the main force of the decisive battle in Shouzhang.

This guy must know more or less about it.

Just interrogate them severely.

I'm not afraid that this guy won't tell the truth.

After taking this person into custody alone, Cao Ang handed over the task to the generals who were good at torture under his command, and at the same time asked Dian Wei to come forward to suppress the formation.

It won't be long before I think so.

He gets everything he wants to know.

And at the same time.

Several cavalrymen with orders left from the south gate of Liqiu County, and rushed all the way to Dingtao County.
