There are nearly 5,000 elite soldiers under Cao Hong’s command!

Moreover, these five thousand elite soldiers are the most fierce Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao.

If Yuan Fang defeated Cao Hong with two thousand cavalry, Man Chong felt that it was possible, but now Yuan Fang "spoken" and claimed that he could defeat Cao Hong's five thousand army with five hundred cavalry.

Man Chong felt that Yuan Fang was really too arrogant.

"What if General Yuan can't do it, what should he do then?" Man Chong asked back.

Yuan Fang smiled and raised his hand to point at the gate: "If I lose, you will be allowed to stay and stay in this gate. Boning, do you have the courage to make a bet with me?"

Man Chong fell into deep thought and thought to himself: "This person is extremely wise and brave, and is indeed very human. But he is too confident and underestimated Cao Hong too. I don't believe that he can defeat 5,000 elite soldiers with five hundred cavalry.

Qingzhou soldiers!”

After his thoughts were settled, Man Chong immediately said proudly: "Since General Yuan is so confident, if Man dares not bet, wouldn't he become a coward? I will bet with General Yuan."

Yuan Fang smiled.

Man Chong, this talent who is skilled in law, can be literary and martial, has fallen into the "trap" set by him.

Yuan Fang immediately ordered to leave 1,500 people to guard Pei City and wait for the joining of the subsequent army. Yuan Fang ordered Zhang Liao to lead 500 cavalry and follow him out of the city and head north to face Cao Hong.

In order for Man Chong to see with his own eyes how he defeated Cao Hong's elite Qingzhou soldiers, Yuan Fang and Man Chong also brought him along with him in this battle.

...

On that day, at dusk, twenty miles north of Peicheng.

Five hundred iron cavalrymen stood on the earth slope, Yuan Fang sat on the crotch and red rabbit horse. The eagle's eyes were like blades, and they looked north.

But on the northward road, dust and smoke rolled, figures surged, and battle flags rolled like waves, covering the sky and the sun.

Looking away, the big flag with the word "Cao" flying proudly, the enemy coming was extremely powerful.

"Lord. This is Cao Cao's Qingzhou military force. This military force is very fierce. Our army only has 500 cavalry, so it is difficult to deal with." Zhang Liao lowered his voice and reminded in a deep voice.

During the Battle of Yanzhou, Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu and fought with Cao Cao several times. He naturally had a deep understanding of the fierceness of the Qingzhou soldiers.

Zhang Liao lowered his voice, just not wanting Man Chong to hear it.

Man Chong is also a smart person. Although he couldn't hear what Zhang Liao said, he could guess that he must be concerned about the fierce Qingzhou soldiers.

Man Chong's face added a little confidence and said lightly: "General Yuan, I know you have been using troops and defeated powerful enemies many times, but the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Gong's command were not Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, or even Yuan Shao.

The soldiers are comparable, and you still have time to take back this bet now."

"Ha ha--"

Yuan Fang suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of wildness, as if he didn't take Man Chong's warning at all.

The laughter suddenly stopped, Yuan Fang drew a halberd and said sternly: "A gentleman is confident in his words. This bet has been decided, how can he take it back? Man Boning, just stare at me with wide eyes and look at me.

How to defeat the elite Qingzhou soldiers you mentioned!"

This bold and unrestrained word shocked Man Chong. He really couldn't figure out how confident Yuan Fang had.

Even Zhang Liao was a little guilty at this time. After all, he was defeated by the Qingzhou soldiers. He knew the strength of this army, so how could he not worry about Yuan Fang's "overconfidence".

Yuan Fang stood up with his horse and stood up, and sat down to watch Cao's army approaching fiercely.

Inside and outside.

Cao Hong rode his horse and urged the five thousand troops to advance frantically towards Peicheng.

"Report~~" the scout rushed over and shouted: "Report to General, the enemy's road ahead was found blocking the way."

Cao Hong frowned and asked, "How many enemies are there blocking the road? Who is the commander?"

"Return to the general, there are only five hundred cavalry in the enemy army. Judging from the banner, it seems that Yuan Fang is personally leading the troops."

After hearing the scout's return, Cao Hong's expression changed slightly.

Cao Hong was not surprised that Yuan Fang personally led the troops. He was surprised that Yuan Fang had only brought five hundred cavalry.

"Are he underestimating me? Or is he having other tricks?"

Cao Hong was not a mediocre general, and he soon realized that it was not so ordinary for Yuan Fang to lead his troops to come this time.

After pondering for a while, Cao Hong raised a sneer on his lips: "You only brought five hundred cavalry, just to make me underestimate the enemy, so that I can kill me by surprise. I will respond to all changes with the same stability, and see how you can do it."

After his thoughts were settled, Cao Hong immediately ordered the entire army to stop moving rapidly and set up a military formation to advance steadily.

Five thousand elite Qingzhou soldiers quickly formed military formations, coming towards Yuan Fangjun like iron walls.

Soon, the enemy was approaching five hundred steps away.

On the hillside, Yuan Fang's formation of Cao's army was clear.

I saw that in front of the enemy, shield soldiers and halberd soldiers were used to open the way, and spearmen and crossbow soldiers were hidden inside. There were hundreds of cavalrymen around the side and rear, and the formation was very organized.

Yuan Fang saw this formation and couldn't help but exclaim: "Cao Hongguo is worthy of being a general of the Cao family. This military formation is arranged like a copper wall and iron wall. He really understands the wonders of the formation."

Man Chong next to him heard Yuan Fang actually praised Cao Hong and thought to himself: "He was arrogant just now, but now he can face the strength of his opponent. What he was thinking in his mind is really unpredictable..."

When Man Chong was surprised, Zhang Liao's eyebrows were already deep, pointing at the enemy formation, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Cao Hong's formation is very well-organized, so our army may not be able to detour from the side, and our army is all light cavalry.

A positive breakthrough is even more impossible.”

Zhang Liao was known for his cavalry command, and even he said he could not do anything to Cao Hong's military formation. This situation was quite unfavorable.

"Since you can't do anything, then the entire army retreated." Yuan Fang only said lightly, and then turned his horse and turned his head away.

Zhang Liao was stunned, but he did not expect that Yuan Fang would come to the battle and ordered the entire army to retreat.

Before he could react, Yuan Fang had already left, so Zhang Liao had to lead five hundred cavalry and retreat with Yuan to Peicheng.

"He had made a bold statement before, and wanted to defeat Cao Hong with 500 cavalrymen, but now he retreated in the face of battle. Could it be that he was timid when he saw Cao Hong's power?"

Man Chong was also suspicious and had to retreat with the Yuan army's cavalry.

Five hundred steps away, Cao Hong saw Yuan Fangjun retreating, and raised his lips a little proud, and sneered: "Yuan Fang, you boy, you have to withdraw your troops when you see my formation is impeccable, right? Humph, how could I call you so easy

Then he ran away!"

Cao Hong was proud and immediately ordered the army to continue to form a formation and advance, following Yuan Fangjun and killing all the way to Peicheng.

Five hundred iron cavalry rode their horses like flying. In a blink of an eye, they ran out more than a mile. At the intersection ahead, hundreds of cattle and sheep suddenly appeared, crowding on the avenue in a mess.

"Well~~"

Yuan Fang held the Red Rabbit. Fang Tian Hua Ji pointed to a small slope eastward and shouted: "The whole army stopped retreating. Follow me to avoid the earth slope."

Five hundred light cavalry changed direction, bypassed the flock of cattle and sheep blocking the avenue, and climbed the small slope that Yuan Fang pointed to, hiding on the back.

Yuan Fang stopped his horse and shot his eyes to the north. This time, his eyes were no longer idle, but began to burst out with murderous intent.

Zhang Liao and Man Chong were both puzzled by Yuan Fang's series of actions.

And the two of them were even more puzzled. How could hundreds of cattle and sheep suddenly appear on this road for no reason?

When he was suspicious, Cao Hong's five thousand elite soldiers had arrived in the direction of the northern road.

Hundreds of cattle and sheep suddenly blocked Cao's army's way.

The soldiers in Qingzhou, when they saw the cattle and sheep, were all so excited that their eyes shone with greed.

Cao Hong was also very surprised. He didn't know why a group of cattle and sheep suddenly appeared on this avenue, blocking his way.

At this moment, the Qingzhou soldiers who were greedy and greedy actually rushed out of the military formation without Cao Hong's permission, and went to grab the cattle and sheep on the road, regardless of military orders.

One person moved, ten people moved, and in a blink of an eye, this chain reaction spread throughout the army.

Looking around, the army formation that was originally as hard as iron walls collapsed in an instant. Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers rushed forward, snatching the cattle and sheep in front of them, and they didn't care about it.

What enemy?

Cao Hong was frightened and shouted repeatedly, but could not suppress the greedy military men. He could only watch his soldiers fight for cattle and sheep like robbers.

On the hillside, Zhang Liao was shocked to see the situation. Only then did he suddenly realize and understand Yuan Fang's intention.

"So this is the lord's trick to defeat the enemy. The lord is really..." Zhang Liao was amazed, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe his excitement.

Man Chong, who was standing beside him, looked at Cao Hongjun who was "defeated without fighting" incredible ways.

After a while, Man Chong took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. General Yuan has done the "know your enemy" to the extreme. I am afraid that Cao Gong will not be able to do the trick, alas~~"

Yuan Fang smiled slightly, and murderous intent ignited like fire in his eyes.

These hundreds of cattle and sheep were owned by Yuan Fang, and secretly sent his subordinates to place them here in advance, in order to lure Cao Hong's soldiers to rob him greedily and let his army break without fighting.

Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers were born as Yellow Turban bandits. Although they were fierce in combat, they were difficult to change their nature of burning, killing, looting and looting.

As for Cao Hong, although he had martial arts and military strategies, he was a good person and often indulged his subordinates to plunder money by illegal means.

The so-called Qingzhou soldiers who are effective from the top and the bottom are bound to be more greedy under the indulgence of Cao Hong.

This is Cao Hong's fatal weakness.

Yuan Fang had no idea about this weakness, but it was the information he obtained from Man Chong's mind with his mind reading pupils.

Although Yuan Fang could not modify Man Chong's memory, he obtained the winning information of defeating Cao Hong.

At this moment, Man Chong was filled with emotion and deeply impressed by Yuan Fang's wisdom, but he never dreamed that Yuan Fang's plan was "stealed" from his Man Chong's mind.

The plan has been completed, and there is no war at this time, so when will it last?

Yuan Fangying pointed his eyes, and Fang Tian's painting halberd was sternly yelling at the enemy, "Calling downhill with me, killing this greedy enemy without leaving any armor."

With a thunderous order, Yuan Fang rode his horse and danced his halberd, and shot it out like a stream of fire.

Five hundred iron cavalry moved violently, like thunder, and rushed towards the enemy.
