Chapter 279 Xu Rong's Cavalry VS Xiahou Yuan's Qingzhou Army

Chapter 279 Xu Rong + Cavalry VS Xiahou Yuan's Qingzhou Army

Cao Hong's words made many people feel sad.

When they saw the scene of Zhang Sui chopping off both the man and the horse, they also felt their scalps tingling.

The most important thing is that they even felt that Zhang Sui had not yet exerted his full strength!
They all wondered if they would be killed by Zhang Sui with such a blow!
Another sneer was heard.

It was still Xiahou Yuan, who said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of?"

"Individual bravery does not make one a hero."

"He only has a few people, can he defeat a group of us?"

After hearing what Xiahou Yuan said, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Miao Cai, what you said makes sense."

"Everyone needs to cheer up."

"Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't want the emperor and the civil and military officials, so Zhang Sui won't fight us directly."

Everyone nodded.

Cao Cao arranged for all the generals to quickly enter their respective positions and receive inspection from Emperor Liu Xie later.

This review was Cao Cao's way of showing his strength to the emperor and all the civil and military officials.

He wanted to make them understand that after he took over as the emperor, no one should look down on him.

Cao Cao has the power to destroy anyone who dares to show off in front of him!
After Emperor Liu Xie finished his meal, Cao Cao also returned.

Under the leadership of Cao Cao, Emperor Liu Xie, together with civil and military officials, reviewed the soldiers of Yanzhou.

This time, Cao Cao came to the capital to serve the king and brought 20,000 soldiers from Yanzhou.

The generals included Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cai Yang, Bian Bing and others.

There was no independent cavalry.

All infantry and archers.

But they are all well-trained.

They were all Yellow Turban soldiers from Qingzhou who were captured by Cao Cao when he pacified Yanzhou.

Cao Cao selected strong men from these hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army and formed the current Qingzhou Army.

These Qingzhou troops are younger and stronger than ordinary soldiers.

In recent years, Cao Cao relied on the Qingzhou army to defeat powerful enemies one after another.

The most crucial issue is that the 20,000 Qingzhou troops brought by Cao Cao this time are only a part of it.

He has more Qingzhou troops in Yanzhou, and they are heading towards Yuzhou now!
When Cao Cao came to assist the king, half of the people in Yuzhou had already sent letters asking for surrender.

Emperor Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others looked at the well-trained Yanzhou soldiers, who were far beyond their reach, and their faces were filled with horror.

This army is not even the full strength of Cao Cao!
Emperor Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, and Yang Feng all began to breathe faster.

Only then did they realize that they had underestimated Cao Cao's strength.

They thought Cao Cao was someone who could be controlled at any time.

After all, Cao Cao had no reputation before.

However, they did not realize that it was not that Cao Cao had no reputation, but that they were ignorant.

It was not until noon, when the military review was over, that Cao Cao looked at the emperor Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others with a smile and said, "My Qingzhou army will definitely be able to protect your majesty's safety."

Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others all looked as pale as death.

Cao Cao is another Han Xian!
Now they could only look at Zhang Sui expectantly.

If Zhang Sui can restrain Cao Cao, everything will be easy.

Cao Cao saw everyone looking at Zhang Sui and said with a smile, "By the way, I have not seen General Zhang's strength yet."

Xiahou Yuan, who was standing behind Cao Cao, immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "My lord, I, Xiahou Yuan, am willing to lead 3,000 troops and General Zhang to give it a try!"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the Xiongnu Right Wise King Qubei who was standing behind his father-in-law Dong Cheng and said, "Three years ago, we have witnessed the power of the Xiongnu cavalry."

The Right Wise King Qu Bei looked a little unhappy.

Three years ago, the Huns joined forces with Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan to officially go to war with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

As a result, the Xiongnu cavalry encountered Cao Cao's army.

They originally thought that cavalry would have no trouble dealing with infantry.

Who knew that he would be chased by Cao Cao's infantry for dozens of miles before escaping.

Now that Xiahou Yuan had pointed out the truth, the Right Wise King Qu Bei felt ashamed.

When Zhang Sui heard Xiahou Yuan say this, he just smiled.

Everything verified Li Ru's guess yesterday.

Zhang Sui looked at Xiahou Yuan and said, "Okay."

"We only have a thousand cavalry, so let's use a thousand cavalry to fight you."

Looking at Xu Rong, Zhen Hao and Huang Han, Zhang Sui said, "Get ready immediately!"

Xu Rong glanced at Xiahou Yuan and sneered, "I was able to kill almost all of you in the past, and today will be no exception."

Xiahou Yuan was so angry when he heard Xu Rong say this. In the past, he followed Cao Cao to pursue Dong Zhuo, but was ambushed by Xu Rong and almost lost his entire army.

There's a reason for that.

Although Cao Cao brought a lot of people at that time, they were all recruited urgently and had no training.

Now, all of them are well-trained Qingzhou soldiers.

This Xu Rong actually looks down on me!
Today, I will make you lose face!

Xiahou Yuan clasped his fists towards Emperor Liu Xie and Cao Cao, then went to prepare.

Emperor Liu Xie climbed up to the high ground with all the civil and military officials, Cao Cao, Zhang Sui, and the various aristocratic families in Henei County.

Two miles ahead of them, on the left, were the three thousand Qingzhou troops led by Xiahou Yuan, including archers, spearmen, and shieldmen.

On the right side were a thousand cavalrymen led by Xu Rong, Huang Han and Zhen Hao.

The two armies were three miles apart.

At this time, the generals of both armies were discussing.

Cao Cao looked at Emperor Liu Xie and said, "Although it is a competition, it is after all real swords and guns. If I go too far, I hope Your Majesty can forgive me."

Emperor Liu Xie looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui replied: "So do I."

Emperor Liu Xie then said awkwardly: "Then no one should get angry."

Emperor Liu Xie summoned two more messengers and rushed to Xiahou Yuan and Xu Rong respectively to tell them that the battle would begin when the war drums sounded and would end immediately when the gong sounded.

Anyone who continues fighting after the horn is sounded is breaking the law.

Xiahou Yuan and Xu Rong bowed to Emperor Liu Xie from a distance.

At noon, Emperor Liu Xie ordered the war drums to be beaten.

As the war drums sounded, everyone's minds instantly tensed up.

Soldiers from both sides quickly formed their array.

Xiahou Yuan's soldiers immediately raised shields in front of them.

Thousands of spearmen immediately stepped forward and placed spears, lances and other weapons in the gaps between the shields.

The shield soldiers slowly moved forward.

Xu Rong's thousand cavalrymen quickly advanced.

The cavalry was too fast.

As they were about to rush to the shield, the cavalry suddenly split into two.

Xu Rong led a group of cavalrymen and quickly went around the left side of the shield wall and directly attacked the belly of Xiahou Yuan's 3,000 Qingzhou troops!
The dozens of horses and soldiers in front of this part of the cavalry were all wearing armor.

They penetrated into the Qingzhou army.

Relying on its powerful inertia and heavy armor, it rushed into the vicinity of the shield soldiers like a torrent of wind and rain.

The shield soldiers hurriedly turned around.

The cavalry that had split from Xu Rong split into two again, and one group of people went directly around the right side and attacked the rear army.

Another group of people directly hit the shield.

The shield soldiers and spearmen in the front were flanked on both sides by the cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan was ready to have the army behind him attack from both sides.

But they saw a group of cavalry had already charged to the rear of the army, galloping at high speed and shooting arrows continuously.

The army behind was constantly shot and killed.

Many Qingzhou soldiers rushed out of the formation and chased after the cavalry that were about to pass by them.

But the cavalry was too fast.

As soon as they raised their weapons, the cavalry withdrew!
Moreover, they gathered in groups of three, sometimes dispersing quickly and sometimes gathering together.

When the Qingzhou army pursued them, they dispersed.

When the Qingzhou army gave up the pursuit, they joined together and attacked the Qingzhou army that had separated from the team.

The Qingzhou army behind us is not pursuing us.

It is not the same not to pursue.

In an instant, hundreds of shield soldiers and spearmen in front were either trampled to death by war horses or stabbed to death.

Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and others looked at the 3,000 Qingzhou troops led by Xiahou Yuan like headless flies, being dragged around in circles by the cavalry led by Xu Rong, and their faces turned pale.

If the fighting continues like this, I’m afraid not a single one of the 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers will survive!
Cao Cao swallowed.

Is this the strength of the cavalry?
Is this Xu Rong’s strength?

Seeing it again, he seemed to see the scene when he was ambushed by Xu Rong and was killed without any weapons.

Cao Cao hurriedly said to Emperor Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, it's all right! It's all right!"
