It stretches for 120 miles from east to west, and is 270 miles from north to south.

As Guan Yu thought, this dry plain became a place for Cao and Liu to fight.

For Cao Ren, attacking the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths is the right way for soldiers, and the strengths and weaknesses of each other are also very clear.

What if Liu Bei takes Guanzhong? Yongliang bitter cold, Chang'an withered, all need to be operated for a long time.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng holds Hebei, Yan, Xu, Qing, Hebei and other prefectures, and the population of the world is eight out of ten.

As long as you bring a wide range of soldiers, you can win with more than you can, and you can win with the strong and the weak.

Therefore, after the soldiers surrounded and blocked Yang, Cao Ren immediately led the army to directly enter Bowang behind Yang Block.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet Guan Yunchang, who was also-for-tat, halfway.

From looking at each other in battle to hand-to-hand combat, and then to life and death fighting, the two sides did not have too many greetings, as if the gentle attack and defense in the past six months were all illusions.

The cavalry charged, the infantry formed formations, the spears rose like a forest, and the archers drew arrows like rain.

Xiahou Yuan rode on his horse and tried to get up a little, trying to observe the situation on the battlefield.

As an overseer, Xiahou Yuan's strength composition of Cao's army can be described as a clear one.

Mixed foot and riding, and seek quick victory with quantity suppression. Cao Ren made it clear before that as long as Guan Yunchang was destroyed, Jingzhou would collapse by itself.

Although Jingzhou and Hanzhong have the connection of Fangling and Shangyong, the roads there are bad and it is difficult to transfer troops, and the generals of Cao Jun understand this very well.

After all, when they held the north of Jingzhou, they did not consider attacking Hanzhong from Fangling Shangyong.

And at present, Xiahou Yuan feels that this Guan Yu is also worthy of a fierce general, and the current response is to use the cavalry.

With the flexibility and mobility of the cavalry, the slow movement of the mixed infantry and horsemanship.

And Xiahou Yuan can also see that the war horses of this cavalry have both Youzhou horses and Liangzhou horses, and thinking about the geographical location of Jingzhou, I am afraid it is not easy to make up such a cavalry army.

It's just that...... Xiahou Yuan shook his head slightly, feeling that it was really difficult to generalize between people.

When the white horse broke the siege, this Guan Yunchang stabbed Yan Liang directly in the army, like an immortal general.

During the battle of Jingxiang, the victory was in the naval army, and I heard that the naval division is still showing off its might on the river.

And now, although the cavalry in front of him is difficult to be called brave, it is also quite disciplined between advance and retreat, which can be called remarkable.

It's just that the army of about 4,000 cavalry and Prime Minister Cao Cheng can only hold each other for a short time, and it is simply delusional to win.

This Guan Yu's cavalry is not as elite as Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, and there are no foot soldiers to sweep the formation, so the safest thing to do in the end is probably ......

"The cavalry assembles and strikes the enemy!"

"The infantry is in formation, and the soldiers are prosperous!"

Cao Ren gave the military order with a blank face, and then this military order spread in all directions and was faithfully executed, so the cavalry troops of all departments crossed the formation and gathered under the banner of the Chinese army.

As a general, Cao Ren knew the strength of his troops in detail, and the cavalry was assembled in about 12,000, of which there were nearly 3,000 tigers and leopards, all of which were far superior to the cavalry led by Guan Yu.

These are the most valuable family foundations of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, in order to win this battle, curb the arrogance of the thief army, and be able to deter and connect Jiangdong, he set out to fight here.

Ten thousand two against four thousand, and even three thousand of them were elite cavalry, so Cao Ren felt a lot more secure.

And the next battle situation was as Cao Ren thought, as soon as they came into contact, nearly 100 knights of the Guan Yu cavalry fell off their horses and died.

A rare smile appeared on Cao Ren's face, and then he ordered the cavalry to pursue and kill Guan Yu here.

Although Prime Minister Cao Cheng had an explanation before the attack, asking him to capture Guan Yunchang alive, Cao Ren had made up his mind in private:

He wants to regain Guan Yunchang in Jingzhou and avenge Cao Zilian!

Prime Minister Cao Cheng's thoughts were only privately explained to him, but Cao Ren's own thoughts were known to everyone through the army at this moment:

"Pass on my order, cut off Guan Yu, seal five thousand households!"

For Cao Ren, this is not the first time he and Guan Yu have met.

Nanjun was defeated by Zhou Gongjin, and this Guan Yu responded from the side.

When Fancheng, this Guan Yunchang sneaked out of the north of the city to attack Wancheng, although he had the determination to take Wan, but after the Han River flooded the north bank, he could only stop it.

Both battles were lost, but both battles can hardly be considered a complete fight.

And now seeing Guan Yunchang fleeing with his back to him, Cao Ren felt an unprecedented happiness from the bottom of his heart.

What about the 10,000-strong enemy? What about the Sailor Mussou?

If you want to make a living by cavalry, it is really a big joke in the world!

You were lucky enough to win, did you think that this cavalry could also be as fast as a sailor?

For a while, Cao Ren regretted the order he had just given, and he should have captured this Guan Yusheng, and asked him to kill him before he could vent his resentment!

Guan Yu fled north, and Cao Ren personally led the cavalry in hot pursuit.

Xiahou Yuan, who was at the end of the infantry army, watched the chase and escape farther and farther, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, but then he laughed at himself dumbly:

In any case, Cao Zixiao is also a general, although the quality of the Waner cavalry is uneven, but three thousand tigers and leopards can be called the elite of the world.

With such a strong teacher, who can be the enemy?

But Xiahou Yuan still had some worries in his heart, although he deliberately avoided the defeat of Guanzhong every time he remembered it, but in fact, he remembered it better than anyone else:

Chang'an was solved in half a day is still a mystery, and what he saw when he followed Liu Bei into Chang'an is still unknown.

Shaofu guessed that Liu Bei might have changed it along the Thunderbolt car, so the Cao army who besieged Yang this time listened to Prime Minister Cao's military order to make the Thunderbolt, but now it seems that the effect is not satisfactory.

If you can conquer Chang'an in half a day, then this ten thousand two cavalry ...... Xiahou Yuan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

For Cao Ren, he didn't have time to think about this, he only knew that Cao Zilian's enmity and Guan Yu's defeat were all ahead, as if he could grab it with a little more effort, and it was within reach.

So Cao Ren tried to reach for a moment, and then grabbed a puff of smoke.

It was still summer and the sun was just right, but there was a thin but undispersed dust mist on the ground ahead, as if a hundred and ten families were cooking at the same time.

He watched as Guan Yu rushed straight in, but in a few breaths, he could only hear the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground in the distance, and the green-robed general with his armor could no longer see it.

This unusual sight had caused Cao Ren's heart to be alarmed, and without giving an order, the entire cavalry army automatically and slowly stopped, and no one was willing to rush into the dust and mist to test the law.

Cao Ren narrowed his eyes, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He couldn't see, so he subconsciously listened, but soon realized that something was wrong.

Why did the sound of horses' hooves rushing into the fog not only not go away, but became louder and clearer?

It's like...... It's like the sound of iron horses' hooves on the ground!

But before Cao Ren could figure it out, he saw an iron rider rush out of the dust and mist.

The head was covered with an iron mask, the body was covered with iron armor, and the cold light reflected by the armor immediately made Cao Ren's heart half cold: What kind of monster is this!

But there was not only one such iron monster, as Guan Yu entered the mist, this dust mist seemed to thin out a little, revealing more iron horses inside.

Quickly estimating the strength of troops on the battlefield is the basic quality of a general, and just by glancing at Cao Ren, he concluded that there were only more than 1,000 iron cavalry in front of him.

But they are charging towards their own and more than 10,000 horsemen!

There was only a split second between the battle formations, and Cao Ren roared and urged his more than 10,000 cavalry to charge.

He didn't know the power of the horseman, but he knew that if he couldn't run, he would be like a foot soldier.

The hasty hedging was only a moment, and the dust driven by more than 10,000 horsemen also completely dispersed the strange dust mist.

Cao Ren looked back again and saw the avenue of flesh and blood behind him in just a few breaths.

The horses and leopards rode apart, the internal organs and the severed limbs, the war horses and the soldiers, who did not distinguish each other, were brutally torn apart and sprinkled on this road.

The flesh slammed into the gold and iron, and the iron hooves crushed the bones, and it was clear at a glance who won and who lost.

The armor was no longer clean, and the blood-stained iron cavalry added a bit of a solemn aura, and watched as the other party methodically turned back to their chiseled cavalry.

Cao Ren only had one thought left in his heart:

"Run!"
