Cao Ang on the other side didn't know about the turmoil outside, but he had been staying in the barracks recently, studying combat skills with Xiahou Yuan.

On this morning, Cao Ang was summoned to the school field again to participate in today's exercise.

His soldiers were all newcomers, and they hadn't experienced actual combat yet, so they were so nervous at this moment.

But seeing that his master was still so calm and calm, his heart slowly calmed down.

"What do you think about this exercise?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

Cao Ang smiled and replied, "I just think that since the other party dares to come to the door, he must be prepared." If you really fight, the chances of winning are probably very small. ”

If he doesn't know it, he will be surrounded and annihilated by the other party, so he will suffer heavy losses.

Cao Ang was stunned, "Qiang? ”

Our army has six or seven thousand sword and shield soldiers, and they have undergone rigorous training, which is our advantage! ”

After all, during this time, he trained with Xiahou Yuan and gained a lot, although it is still not as good as Xiahou Yuan's veterans, but it is much better.

"General Lu, I think we should retreat." Another lieutenant suggested.

Not only that, but he only brought 4,000 cavalry this time, and if he attacked rashly, it would be easy to fall for the opponent's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

The scout replied, "My men went around to the flank, as you commanded, and found two troops of cavalry, which were coming to our side. ”

He raised his head and looked ahead, waiting for the enemy to attack.

"Yes!"

Lu Bu on the opposite side obviously also discovered that the elite of the Cao army was gathering, and his face instantly turned pale.

Cao Ang turned around and ran as fast as he could.

"Uncle, please give me a chance!" Cao Ang insisted.

Cao Ang continued: "Of course, we can't blindly rush over, we should adopt the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, and first find out the reality of the opponent before deciding whether to launch a general attack. ”

"Damn, I was deceived!"

Thousands of cavalry came into view.

Xiahou Yuan said: "Have you forgotten? The leader of the Qiang people before Lu Bu walked very close, and the other party is estimated to have come to help! ”

Xiahou Yuan sneered contemptuously: "The archers are only auxiliary, mainly relying on sword and shield hands!"

Lu Bu's face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "I really didn't expect that the person surnamed Cao was so cunning!" ”

"You."

After thinking for a moment, he said to Xiahou Yuan: "Uncle, you stay here to command, and I will lead the troops to meet the enemy." ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What's going on over there? ”

Cao Ang suddenly realized, and then remembered that when Lu Bu and Yuan Shao were competing for power, the two sides had fought in Xuzhou.

Xiahou Yuan continued: "The Qiang people are the most ferocious troops in the Western Liang Army, they are strong in combat, they are used to living in the wilderness, and their physique is strong and strong.

He ordered: "Order the whole army to stop advancing and camp in place." ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan's face instantly became solemn, "Could it be that Lu Bu personally led the army to kill?" ”

Cao Ang was slightly stunned, "Oh? Who led the troops? ”

After thinking about this, Cao Ang's face became even more ugly, but he did not panic, but calmly raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Array, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the smoke and dust in front of him gradually dissipated.

So now Cao Ang urgently needs a big victory to make up for it.

He left Xiahou Yuan's sight and immediately changed into armor.

At this time, it was almost the time Cao Ang said, and the scouts sent by Xiahou Yuan to investigate had also returned.

Cao Ang quickly led his troops to the preset position.

Xiahou Yuan's face became gloomy, he pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Since they dare to come over and send them to death, how can I not fulfill their reason?" Tell your troops to get ready for battle! ”

Cao Ang glanced at it and was surprised to find that the outfit of the opposing cavalry was completely different from that of the various tribes in the Central Plains, and they looked like a group of nomads.

If we go head-to-head with them, we will inevitably suffer.

At that time, Lu Bu was not as ferocious as he is now, but he was also a fierce general.

Lu Bu scolded angrily: "Waste! ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he was a little relieved, no matter what, Xiahou Yuan was the top general under his command, since even he said so, it should be true.

They stopped in place, looking at the Cao army camp in front of them, full of resentment, they had never been so teased by the Han people, but today they were planted here, it was really aggrieved.

Xiahou Yuan, who followed closely, also noticed this, he narrowed his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed: "It turned out to be a Qiang person!" ”

Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't believe that he would lose at all.

After listening to Xiahou Yuan's story, Cao Ang couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart and said, "I'm afraid that the archers of our army can't compete with the Qiang people." ”

He even killed many Han generals in the battle, and later took advantage of the chaos to occupy Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

Xiahou Yuan glanced at him, and finally compromised, he patted Cao Ang's shoulder, "Be careful!" ”

"No way!" Xiahou Yuan immediately refused, "Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, you alone can't stop him, in case of danger, how can I substitute for the master?" ”

"Yes, uncle."

The adjutant general next to him said: "General Lu, our previous intelligence was false, and the strength of the Cao army is much stronger than expected, what should we do now?" ”

Cao Ang said: "Don't worry, uncle, I have my own way to get out, and I also want to try it to see where my level has reached!" ”

What's more, Xiahou Yuan had brought so many elite troops to attack Eastern Wu before, but the whole army was wiped out.

Xiahou Yuan nodded appreciatively, "Well, the salary analysis is correct!" ”

What's going on?

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "No, if I retreat like this, then my face will be lost." ”

From a distance, he saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were galloping towards him.

Cao Ang also frowned, this is a bit tricky, if Lu Bu personally leads the army, they will face a tough battle today.

"I can't confirm it yet, but I don't think it's good."

Cao Ang was puzzled, but he quickly figured it out, this was Lu Bu's cavalry, these people must be the elite of the elite, and their task was to attract firepower.

As the order continued, the Qiang soldiers tightened their reins and slowly stopped.

He originally thought that he would definitely win this trip, but he didn't expect to misjudge the strength of his opponent.

So there is no way to fight hard in this battle, you can only outwit, lead them into an ambush circle, and then use a bow and crossbow to shoot and kill. ”

At this time, the adjutant hurriedly came over and reported: "Childe, the scout has sent news that two cavalry are coming towards us. ”

An adjutant general next to him reminded: "General Lu, this time we were negligent, let's be careful in the future." ”

"Hmm." Lu Bu replied sullenly.
