Xun Yu frowned and wanted to stop him, but he could only do so. However, he still sent out all his scouts.
On one hand, he was going to investigate the movements of Zhang Xiu's main force. He was afraid that Zhang Xiu would lure him away. On the other hand, he had to maintain contact with Cao Chun's Tiger Leopard Cavalry at all times to prevent them from falling into the enemy's trap.
Five miles, in the blink of an eye.
The sounds of fighting all over the mountains and plains caused a commotion among the soldiers in the stronghold. Fortunately, Wenpin had taken precautions.
On one hand, they sent people to appease the soldiers and set up the general flag. On the other hand, they led the troops to the top of the city wall and fought fiercely.
However, Cao Cao's soldiers were all elites and had been through hundreds of battles. In a short period of time, the defense line at the head of the stockade was about to be broken through several times. If it wasn't for Wen Pin's fearless leadership, the camp would have changed owners long ago.
More than a thousand cavalrymen in the stronghold had already gathered. These cavalrymen were all Western Liang cavalrymen who had been through hundreds of battles. They wanted to rush out to relieve Wenpin's pressure, but they were all suppressed by Wenpin's men.
Although Wen Pin didn't know how Zhang Xiu defeated the enemy, Zhang Xiu had treated him well. Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he wouldn't take half a step back.
At the head of the stockade
Xiahou Dun wiped the blood off his face and cursed,""Damn it, aren't these cavalry? Why was he as difficult to deal with as the infantry?”
Xiahou Dun shouted again,
"Soldiers, follow me. The first to ascend will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ten beautiful concubines.”
As soon as he said that, Cao Jun was instantly injected with stimulants. Didn't they work so hard to make contributions?
At the same time,
In the southeast direction of Ying Yin City.
Zhang Xiu's army traveled like the stars and the moon, heading straight for Xuchang.
However, ancient night marches were extremely dangerous, especially when there were no cavalry on the flanks.
It was still fine during the day, as the view was wider. But at night, more than half of the sentry cavalry were blind, so it was difficult for them to do anything. Zhang Xiu's infantry did not have any cavalry to protect them. If the cavalry really came, they would have no choice but to flee.
Ten miles away, in a forest.
Thousands of iron cavalry carried medals in their mouths, and their horses wrapped their hooves. Their sharp sabers flashed with a cold light, adding a hint of coldness to the dark night.
At the head of the array,
Xu Chu was so anxious that he paced back and forth. He wished he could lead the army and charge over right now to behead Zhang Xiu.
On the other hand, Cao Chun was strict in his work. He constantly sent out scouts to scout the movements of Zhang Xiu's army and prevent Zhang Xiu from setting up an ambush. The main reason was that it wasn't easy to pull up this cavalry.
It could be said that he had squeezed out half of Cao Cao's political income.
At this moment,
Several groups of fast cavalry came to report because Zhang Xiu had finally entered their ambush position, Pingshan Hill. There was nothing to hide, and the infantry could only be killed here.
Cao Chun couldn't hide his excitement. This would be the first battle of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. He believed that this battle would make the Tiger Leopard Cavalry famous and become one of the strongest forces in the world.
"Clang!"
Cao Chun's voice was like a tiger's roar." You're the son of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. Tonight is my first battle with you." Tonight, the enemy will be utterly defeated and die under my saber. Tonight, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was destined to become famous.”
"Soldiers, listen up. Follow me to kill the enemy.”
The sharp swords pointed into the distance, and the thousand cavalry slowly accelerated. They were closing in, but they were holding back their horses. They wanted to scatter the enemy in one fell swoop.
……
The hills are flat,
There were fewer trees around.
At a glance, the night was deep and cold.
Jia Xu looked into the distance and looked left and right. He was a little worried. This place was too flat. If Cao Chun really attacked, they would not be able to withstand a single blow.
He looked at Zhang Xiu. His face was well-defined, as if it had been carved by a knife. However, there was no change in his expression. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible arc, as if victory was in his grasp.
" My lord, Pingshan Hill is dozens of miles deep. There are no trees to block the way. If Cao Chun launched a surprise attack at this time, I'm afraid..."
Jia Xu revealed a worried expression. He was panicking!
He wasn't the only one. Huang Zhong, who was beside him, also narrowed his eyes and looked around warily. He was familiar with the art of war and knew that this place was dangerous. As long as the enemy wasn't stupid, they would definitely seize this opportunity.
"My lord, the military advisor is right. We should order the three armies to speed up and pass through this place. In addition, the infantry and spearmen should hold their positions and guard against the enemy's surprise attack.”
Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.
"This is the place where Cao Chun was buried." Zhang Xiu smiled wickedly and raised his hand.”
With that, he put on the thermal imaging night vision device.
"Looks like they're in a hurry to die!”
"Master... My Lord, this is..."
Jia Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said somewhat at a loss.
Zhang Xiu had never told anyone about the night vision goggles. Besides, these things were quite expensive. Other than the two times he used them during practice, Zhang Xiu had never taken them out.
Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but said in a deep voice,
"Order the three armies to maintain their formation.”
"Lord, you can't! Since they already knew that the enemy cavalry was attacking, they should have taken precautions.”
Huang Zhong urged anxiously.
Although he didn't know how Zhang Xiu had discovered the enemy cavalry in the night, if he didn't reorganize his army in such a situation, the enemy cavalry would definitely be wiped out.
"Don't be impatient, Han Sheng. Wipe your saber first. I'll let you kill to your heart's content later.”Zhang Xiu chuckled and said in a clear voice.
Next,
It was time to show off his real skills.
The night was as dark as ink, and the sound of horse hooves approached.
Hearing the dull and hurried sounds of horse hooves, the thousands of soldiers felt uneasy.
On the flank of the Nanyang Army, ten wooden carriages lined up in a row.
Hu Che 'er swallowed his saliva stiffly.
F * ck, who could be more panicked than him?
He looked at the cardboard box in front of him in despair. Zhang Xiu had said that as long as he listened to the order, he could defeat the enemy in one battle. But why did he not believe it!
Forget it, he didn't care anymore. If he died, so be it!
Listening to the heavy galloping of horses, Huang Zhong was burning with anxiety. He kept ordering his troops to line up and prepare for battle, but these infantry could not be lined up in such a short period of time.
Moreover, under such a dull sound of horse hooves, these infantry were a little timid.
In front of the Nanyang army, Zhang Xiu's expression was solemn. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the late Han Dynasty, he had to make a name for himself. Only then would civil officials and generals come to join him.
This battle was his first battle, and he had to win!
On the warhorse, Zhang Xiu slowly raised the golden spear in his hand and pointed it at the sky.
"All troops, listen up. Tonight, our army will fight to the death with Cao Cao's army." The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. If there are people who run away without fighting or disturb the morale of the army, they will all be beheaded!”
"Drink, drink, drink!"
The restless army instantly quieted down. Nearly half of them were elite soldiers of Western Liang, and none of them were afraid of death.
