After the formation was set up, Xiahou Yuan's flag moved to the front of the formation. We could see someone riding a horse to the ditch we dug and then running to the flag. He was talking to a heavily armored person. I guess that person was Xiahou Yuan, but I couldn't hear what they were saying from afar. However, they didn't charge. From our vantage point, we can see that the Cao army has more than 20,000 men. Judging from the length and width of the army, it should be at least 30,000 men. Under the cover of the flag in front of the formation, there were already more than 3000 cavalrymen lined up behind them. Moreover, some people were also preparing to fill up the ditch. After all, it was more convenient to walk along the main road. Yue Ji saw that Xiahou Yuan's army was not moving forward. According to our deduction, we knew that they were afraid of an ambush in this meadow. In order to anger Xiahou Yuan, Yue Ji drew a wolf fang arrow and put it on his three-stone bow according to the plan. Speaking of which, I lent him this three-stone bow. After the martial arts competition, Yue Ji liked my bow. He coaxed and coaxed me to borrow it today and admire it tomorrow. Sometimes, he even deliberately touched the bow in front of me and said,"What a pity." What a pity." Looking at him, I knew what he was thinking. However, I didn't promise to give it to him in order to tease him. This time, before we set off, he came to touch my bow again. I told him that if he could do everything according to my orders, I would lend this bow to him for the first time in this battle. When he made a contribution, I would officially give this bow to him. Yue Ji hurriedly agreed. This time, he took out this bow to show off. Yue Ji drew his bow to the limit and shot an arrow at the flagpole of Xia Hou's flag. We watched as Xiahou Yuan suddenly raised his saber and the arrow was knocked to the ground. Yue Ji saw that the arrow he shot did not work and knew that Xiahou Yuan was prepared. He simply nocked three arrows on his bow and fired three arrows at the same time. However, this time, he changed his target. Xiahou Yuan's horse came. This time, Xiahou Yuan did not block all of them. One arrow hit Xiahou Yuan's horse head. Xiahou Yuan's horse jumped suddenly and almost knocked him off. As soon as Xiahou Yuan sat down, the horse fell forward again. We could all see Xiahou Yuan's leg being pinned down by his horse, and he fell to the ground, his helmet rolling to the side. This was also my arrangement. The order I gave Yadan was to 'carry out shamelessness to the end'. If they couldn't shoot people, they would shoot the horses, as long as they could reduce the strength of Cao Cao's army. Seeing Xiahou Yuan fall to the ground, Ya Dan and Yue Ji's soldiers burst into laughter. Some of the stronger ones even drew their bows and shot a few more arrows at Xiahou Yuan, making Xiahou Yuan's Cao army nervous. From afar, we saw Xiahou Yuan crawl up from the ground and drag the dead horse to the side. Xiahou Yuan hopped onto another horse and shot an arrow at Yue Ji. However, Yue Ji knocked it away. Xiahou Yuan also shot three arrows in a row. Yue Ji dodged them, but the last arrow changed its direction and hit the flag. A hole was pierced through the flag, and the arrow swayed and fell to the ground. Cao Jun also burst into laughter.
Xiahou Yuan waved his flag, and 500 swordsmen and shieldbearers rushed out from the left. It seemed that Xiahou Yuan was really afraid that there was a trap in the meadow. The 500 swordsmen began to charge. Yandan waved her hand, and all the archers retreated. They raised their bows and shot towards the sky. This kind of shooting did not focus on accuracy. It was just covering the enemy to reduce the speed of the enemy's charge. When the sword-shield soldiers saw the arrows flying towards them, they immediately raised their shields high above their heads, trying to reduce the area of their shields that was exposed diagonally. At the same time as the second round of shooting. Yue Ji waved his hand, and the crossbowmen standing in the front row began to shoot straight at the sword-shield soldiers below their stomachs. Standing on the hill, we could see that a large number of the sword-shield soldiers had fallen. Many of them were hugging their legs or groaning in pain. Look at the distance they ran. They hadn't even run 50 steps. It turns out that we had arranged for Ya Dan and the others to shoot arrows like this. We called this the 'Life Up Attack Down' method to attract the sword shield soldiers to escape. Moreover, we didn't want to kill them all at once. We only wanted to kill them and let them groan in front of the formation to lower the morale of the Cao army. Xiahou Yuan sent out another team. This time, it was a mixed team of shieldbearers and archers. There were a total of 2000 people. The shieldbearers lowered their bodies, raised their shields diagonally, and began to charge forward. The archers who followed closely behind them ran forward while shooting arrows diagonally forward. Ya Dan shook the mace in his hand, and all the cavalrymen split into two groups and retreated diagonally. However, the crossbows and arrows in their hands were thrown at the archers behind the shield soldiers. The archers had a shorter range than us, so they could only take the shots. Before the sword shield soldiers could reach where Ya Dan and the others were standing, the archers were already dead. However, the sword-shield soldiers had also stepped out. There was no ambush here, just a little stumbling. Of course, we designed it so that the infantry could pass through without any obstacles.
The entire meadow was only a little over 100 steps wide. Seeing that the sword-shield soldiers had just crossed the meadow, Xiahou Yuan waved his flag and the spearmen in the front split to the two sides. The cavalry at the back flashed out and began to charge. Taking advantage of the chaotic time when Xiahou Yuan's troops were moving, our hidden sentries in the south began to focus on killing those Cao Cao soldiers who looked like leaders. However, they were also very careful not to be discovered by the Cao army. At this moment, Yadin and the others had already returned from their horses. In front of the two teams were over a hundred soldiers wielding spiked clubs or other heavy weapons, followed closely by soldiers wielding spears. There were also some who were holding crossbows and staring at him like tigers eyeing their prey. The people wielding heavy weapons did not aim at the enemies. Their targets were the shields. They attacked and left without stopping. Then, the pikemen thrust their lances into the crowd. They didn't care if they could hit the target or not as they quickly passed through. The archers on the inner side saw that there was a gap in the defense of the sword-shield soldiers and fired arrows, making the sword-shield soldiers unable to cope. Some of the sword-shieldbearers who were full of vigor tried to get close to the cavalrymen, intending to exchange their lives for their lives. However, these cavalrymen did not want to fight with their lives at all. They raised their horses and dodged. At this moment, the Cao Cavalry had already begun to charge. Ya Dan and Yue Ji immediately commanded the Cavalry to pull away from the sword-shield soldiers and retreat. When the sword-shield soldiers of the Cao army saw that their cavalry had begun to charge, they also moved to the sides to make way for their own cavalry. The cavalrymen of the Cao army pressed their bodies tightly against the necks of their horses and ran faster and faster. They had already rushed into the meadow area at a high speed. Suddenly, many horses in front of them fell down. They had stepped into those holes. At such a fast speed, their legs could not be pulled out at all. In an instant, their legs were broken. The cavalrymen on their horses also fell down. Falling down in such a charge was equivalent to death. Countless horses behind immediately trampled the fallen cavalrymen into pieces. As for those fallen horses... The horses that had their legs broken couldn't get up again, and they became obstacles for the horses behind them. More and more horses were tripped, and the meadow was instantly thrown into chaos. Some soldiers had reined in their horses, and just as they stood up, they became perfect targets again. As a result, Ya Dan, Yue Ji, and the others took the opportunity to shoot a few rounds of arrows at these targets, causing another mess. At least a few horses managed to charge over, but unfortunately, they were met with a rain of arrows from all over, turning their bodies into porcupines. From the mountain, we can see that Xiahou Yuan has already lost about 3000 soldiers in his three charges. From our angle, Xiahou Yuan only has about 4000 cavalry left. No matter how much he claimed to be General Ji, it was probably a little unworthy of his reputation to rely on infantry to run.
Yue Ji and Ya Dan suddenly whistled, and the cavalrymen under them turned back. They calmly galloped past the sword-shield soldiers, shooting arrows at them from time to time while shouting,"
"Surrender, surrender, surrender.”
The sword-shield soldiers were so angry that they charged forward. Yue Ji and the others didn't want to come into contact with them. They shot arrows while retreating, maintaining a distance. At the same time, he began to curse Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan raised his broadsword, and the Cao army's war drums began to rumble. The entire Cao army began to move forward. After all, Yadan's army only had less than 2000 men, while the Cao army had more than 25,000 men. As long as the Cao army got close, Yadan's army wouldn't be able to do anything no matter how powerful they were. After all, many ants could kill an elephant. When Ya Dan and the others saw the Cao army charging, they immediately retreated. However, they still controlled their speed and maintained a distance from the Cao army. As they retreated, they shot arrows at the back. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Cao army's charge, the hidden sentries that I arranged to shoot even more frequently. After all, the Cao army had given the order to charge forward. The soldiers next to the people who arrived would think that these arrows were shot from the front. After all, the legs of a man could not outrun the legs of a horse. When the golden gong sounded, the Cao army stopped their pointless pursuit. From the top of the mountain, we could see many fallen soldiers on the ground. Some were motionless, while others were rolling and moaning on the ground. It seemed that most of them were the latter.
Seeing that the Cao army had stopped, Yue Ji and the others also stopped their horses and turned back. They cursed Xiahou Yuan while shooting arrows at the Cao army, but they did not get close to the Cao army. The Cao army began to beat their drums and attack again. Yue Ji Ya Dan would retreat, and when the Cao army stopped, Ya Dan and the others would harass them. However, they did not give the Cao army any chance to get close. They completely carried out the twelve words that I taught them: " When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy stops, I harass. When the enemy retreats, I advance." We saw a man dressed like a scholar walk up to Xiahou Yuan and whisper a few words to him. Xiahou Yuan beckoned for two people to come over, and the two of them quickly left. The Cao army's formation began to change. Xiahou Yuan's group in the middle did not move, while two groups of cavalrymen rushed out from the sides, moving forward from a distance away from Yue Ji Ya Dan's archery range. The sword-shield soldiers also formed a circle, and the shields were tightly connected to each other. They slowly moved forward, trying to stick to Yadan Yoshichi and the others. It seemed that Xiahou Yuan wanted to surround Yadan Yueji and the others and use his superior forces to exhaust them to death.
