The road to the north was very easy to walk. In order to deliberately show the direction of the army, the entire army swaggered through the city and marched north. On the way, they encountered several small Cao troops, which were easily destroyed by Liu Chong's troops. The morale of the entire army was even higher, and they did not feel tired because of fatigue.
"Report! Enemy scouts have been spotted ahead! Our vanguard team has already caught up, but we haven't made contact yet. The enemy's clothes are different from the Cao army we met before. Captain Sun asked me to ask the lord whether to fight or quietly let them go.”The one who came to report was a captain of the vanguard team. Liu Chong had met him a few times and had some impression of him.
"You've worked hard, Li Li! Tell Sun Shou to destroy them. I want to see their heads in fifteen minutes.”Although Li Li said that this team of scouts was dressed differently from the Cao army, Liu Chong clearly did not take them seriously and ordered casually.
"Yes, sir!" Li Li did not expect his lord to call out his name. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, saluted, and turned to leave. The vanguard team's mission was equivalent to reconnaissance, responsible for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance work, so it was not difficult to eliminate the enemy's scouts.
Not long after, there were fierce sounds of killing ahead, and from time to time, screams could be heard. However, what made Liu Chong feel strange was that the battle seemed to last longer than usual. The battle was not over until the main force approached the vanguard.
In the encirclement ahead, more than ten enemy soldiers were resisting stubbornly. It could be seen that they were originally the enemy's scouts, so their riding and archery skills were not bad. The ten enemy soldiers were surrounded in the center, but they did not panic too much. Instead, they used their horses as shields and formed a small circular formation.
Outside the circle, there were several corpses of both sides, as well as several horses that had been shot dead by arrows. It seemed that the enemy had planned to break through the encirclement by relying on the speed of their horses, but they did not expect the arrows to be so dense. However, they reacted quickly and used their horses as a wall to block the arrows.
The two armies were in a state of confrontation. They probably didn't expect Liu Chong's army to arrive so quickly. When they saw a large group of enemies with the same equipment, the soldiers who were surrounded panicked for a moment, but their eyes revealed a look of determination.
Liu Chong couldn't help but look at them in a new light when he saw their cold gazes. Judging from their reactions, they must have come from a well-trained unit that could compete with the special forces members he had trained himself.
Seeing Liu Chong and the others quickly approaching, Sun Shou felt a little embarrassed. Not only did he fail to wipe out the enemy, but he also lost several of his men, which was similar to the casualties in the previous battles. This made him feel very embarrassed.
"My lord, this subordinate has led the army in a bad way. Please punish me!”Sun Shou stepped forward to apologize.
"It's fine. The enemy is an elite cavalry. It's not easy to trap them here. Do you know who they are?”Now was not the time to pursue the matter. Liu Chong asked about the origin of this team.
"This subordinate does not know, but from the looks of the battle, the enemy is unusually valiant. They are calm in the midst of chaos and did not panic even when surrounded by our army. Instead, they calmly accepted the battle.”Sun Shou reported.
That's right! How could such elite troops be nameless? I wonder which general is their commander? Unfortunately, he couldn't tell anything from these dozen or so people.
Seeing Liu Chong and the others surrounding them, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry. Their mouths were dirty, and they shot arrows from time to time. However, the range of the cavalry bow was very different from that of the crossbow. They couldn't get close at all, and before they reached the front of the formation, they had already become weak and powerless.
Under Liu Chong's signal, Sun Shou shouted into the formation,""My lord has ordered that I give you one last chance. If you want to live, put down your weapons and come out! Otherwise, all of you will die without a burial place!”
"Bah! Our army is about to arrive. It's your turn to surrender first. Otherwise, you will definitely die under the ten thousand horses!”Someone shouted from the crowd, causing laughter from the formation. They weren't afraid of death, they were more carefree.
Hearing their words, Liu Chong and the others knew that it was useless to persuade them to surrender.
"To be able to train such elites, you're quite a character! Zuoweitun, give them a quick death!”Although they had warhorses as a hiding place and could barely block the crossbows of a few dozen people, they had no chance against the volley of two hundred people. Fortunately, they did not have many people. If there were hundreds of cavalry, Liu Chong would not know who would win if the two armies clashed head-on. However, he would soon have to face this situation.
"Sou!" Hundreds of crossbow bolts shot towards the circular formation. Without any suspense, these dozen people were shot into porcupines in the blink of an eye, and several more souls appeared on the yellow soil.
"Continue forward! Clean up the battlefield!" Liu Chong ordered loudly, and the entire army resumed their marching formation. After this battle, everyone's somewhat smug mood began to become heavy. A question mark rose in their minds at the same time. Who were these people?
"My lord! This subordinate has something that I don't know if I should say it or not?”Dian Wei, who had always been quiet, suddenly said from behind Liu Chong.
"Yes! What is it?" Liu Chong realized that it must have something to do with the soldiers who had just been killed, so he turned his head and asked.
Dian Wei licked his lips.”
"Tiger Leopard Cavalry?" Liu Chong repeated. He nodded lightly and shook his head. His impression of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry came from novels. He knew nothing about the real Tiger Leopard Cavalry, so he nodded and shook his head.
"Yes, I am! It was said that the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was carefully selected by Cao Cao. It could be said that they were one in a hundred. Everyone was skilled in cavalry combat and was not afraid of death. Moreover, they were only loyal to Cao Cao. The first commander was Cao Chun from the Cao family.”Dian Wei said as he walked, as if he was describing a mysterious place.
"Er 'Lai, how did you know?" Liu Chong was a little curious.
"My lord, to tell you the truth, I once wanted to rely on Cao Gong, but I didn't have the opportunity. I wanted to join the Tiger Leopard Cavalry as a way to advance, so I heard about the situation of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.”Dian Wei honestly gave his reason. If it wasn't for Liu Chong's sudden appearance, he would have already become Cao Cao's personal guard. However, this was not a good thing for him. According to the historical records, in two years, Dian Wei would die trying to save Cao Cao. Therefore, he might have saved his life by following Liu Chong.
"Haha! I don't care what you think in the past. What's important is the future. Er 'Lai, what do you think of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry's battle prowess?”Liu Chong did not mind and asked.
"This subordinate has never seen it before, so I don't dare to speak nonsense! However, based on the deductions of those people just now, it should be a very strong opponent!”Dian Wei replied.
"You think those people are from the Tiger Leopard Cavalry?”Liu Chong was shocked! The Tiger Leopard Cavalry were heavy cavalry, and strong crossbows were not very effective against them. If they were to meet them head-on, the consequences could be imagined.
Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of them and ran towards them with all their might. Dust billowed behind them, and the ground began to tremble slightly!
"Tiger Leopard Cavalry?" Liu Chong and Dian Wei looked at each other. The opponent they didn't want to meet the most had appeared!
"Form the formation! Hurry up! Form a circle formation!"
