There was a huge movement of armor and horses in Yecheng overnight. Chunyu Qiong led his troops and went to Linzhang to guard them together with the 5,000 armored soldiers assigned to him by Yuan Shang.
There are 70,000 Hebei soldiers, many of whom are Bai Zhanbei Military Academy Lieutenants, with extremely strong combat power.
Once these five thousand soldiers were in place, even the most cautious reviewers felt that the food route was no longer in danger.
Among the many military generals, although Zhang He did not receive elite soldiers, most of the soldiers assigned to Yecheng by various states and counties were under his control.
Although Junyi was defeated by Fang Guang, he was still a famous general in the world.
This man's talent for judging the situation was full. The army was south of Yecheng. When he noticed that Cao's army was coming from the north, he led 200,000 troops and lined up at Changle, southeast of Yecheng, to meet the enemy.
Changle is between Yecheng and Linzhang, blocked by the Huan River. Zhang He relied on the favorable geographical location to delay Cao's army.
In the land of Changle, there are many forts. Zhang He, who is full of talent for bows and crossbows, is confident that he will not be afraid of Cao Cao's soldiers since he relies on the battlefield here.
On this day, above the Huan River and above Wubao, Zhang He had already seen the banner of Cao Jun.
Or maybe it was because the Prime Minister's army had been invincible in the world for two years, allowing Cao's army to take the lead. He actually ignored military taboos and swaggered across the Huan River in front of tens of thousands of Yuan's troops, and then formed an array in front of Wubao!
Next to Zhang He, Lieutenant General Lu Kuang saw the scene in front of him, and his eyes were already about to spit out fire.
"General Zhang, this Cao Cao is really too arrogant! With such an army crossing the river alone, as long as the general gives the order, my subordinates can kill all these thieves with one attack!"
"Don't be impatient. If you rush out now, you will only kill a thousand people. How can you win?"
"Put more of them over here. In this fort, there are all my men with strong bows and crossbows. When they are shot down, they will lead the troops to charge and break Cao Cao's spirit first!"
"Good morning, General!"
Next to Lu Kuang, his brother Lu Xiang was also the general of Hebei Province. The two brothers made the same movements, touching their chins together, looking at Cao Cao's soldiers, and raising the corners of their mouths at the same time.
For half an hour, Cao's army, nearly ten thousand strong, crossed the Huan River under Zhang He's eyes.
Seeing that it was almost the same, this Cao army should make Xuchang feel distressed. Zhang He smiled ferociously and ordered Wubao to release arrows.
Hebei's Yuan Jun was already good at bows and crossbows. After Qu Yi was poached by Fang Guang, Zhang He could be said to be the number one crossbow expert!
The overwhelming arrows were like dark clouds pressing towards the infantry formation on the river bank. In the formation, two big men wearing raincoats and squatting down stood up at the same time and took off their clothes.
"A few arrows, what do they mean? Ever since we got the Datong Armor and Ziyang gave it to us, our army has treated the arrows as if they were nothing!"
"It's a pity that Fang Datong is not here. He can no longer see the power of the armor that he has always cared about!"
The two people talking were eight feet tall. One had thick hair, like a giant bear, and the other had a bald head and sparse hair, and a body like a yellow scab.
The Huben commanders beside Cao Cao, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, changed their formation to be the vanguard to cross the river today. Most of the soldiers leading across the river were also Tiger and Ben warriors.
As Cao Cao's guards and Fang Guang's friends, Xu Chu and Dian Wei's soldiers enjoyed the most sophisticated armor from the Xuchang Workshop.
Throughout the Kyushu dynasties, bows, arrows and armor basically rose in a spiral shape!
Cao's army had too many mysterious armors, and Shu's manpower and steel could not keep up, so they had even crossbow weapons.
With the foot armor of the Song Dynasty, the heavy arrow armor-piercing bow of the Jin people was added.
This historical law was completely destroyed because of Fang Guang's appearance.
The bed crossbow and the improved step crossbow cannot resist any armor of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the bed crossbow is powerless no matter what kind of armor it is.
Zhajia and Quanjia, which were rare in the Han Dynasty, gradually became popular among Cao Cao's army due to the development of smelting in Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
The best armor among them is on the soldiers of Huben, in the place behind Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
"Ding ding ding!"
The sound of rain hitting the porcelain basin on a rainy day sounds extremely pleasant. On the battlefield, the sparks fired by crossbows on the armor are as gorgeous as fireworks.
Zhang He's strong bow and crossbow could not break Liu Ye's armor. Cao's army, wrapped in iron sheets, was fierce and the man with the thickest armor in a thousand armor protected the light armored soldiers behind him and pressed firmly towards Wubao!
"Cao Cao's armor is strong and his army is strong, he is indeed the most powerful in the world!"
"It's just that there are boiling oil and rocks on this fort. I want to see if his armor can block these two things!"
Zhang He pointed to the city, knowing that he was no match for such heavily armored soldiers in the field. He was frightened and deliberately made heroic words to appease the Lu brothers around him.
Just as Lao Zhang was boasting, the unique whine of a counterweighted trebuchet cutting the rope suddenly came from the other side of the Huan River.
In the sky, rocks, stones, mud, even the wreckage of rammed earth houses that had been knocked down, and all the ammunition that Cao Jun could find appeared here!
Huge stones hit the dock, and not even the stone wall could stop the bombardment of the stones, let alone a fortress made of wood.
“Kerala!”
Zhang He felt his feet drop, and with the sound of wood breaking, half of the ten-foot-high Wubao collapsed in an instant.
"ah!"
A miserable cry came from beside Jun Yi. He turned his head and saw that Lu Kuang had fallen from his mouth. Half of his head had been beaten to pieces by unknown rocks or mud.
The screams were made by his younger brother Lu Xiang. Zhang He turned his head and looked. Many of his most elite soldiers died in more tragic and strange ways than Lu Kuang.
He swallowed subconsciously, gritted his teeth, and when falling, he grabbed the wooden bar protruding from the side of the fort, and then used his strength to kick his legs, and then he staggered to the ground.
"The Thunderbolt Chariot is a Thunderbolt Chariot. Our army suffered a big loss from this thing in Guandu!"
"It's just that this thing is so heavy and heavy, how can it be transported here? Run quickly, we can't resist the attack of the Thunderbolt Car!"
Zhang He snatched an ownerless war horse, roared at Lu Xiang a few times, and rode north without looking back.
He was glad in his heart that the city of Ye was tall and had several cities, and Linzhang was surrounded by mountains to the south. Otherwise, Cao Jun would have moved his thunder chariots to those two places, and it would have been difficult to deal with them.
As soon as the horse galloped away, Zhang He couldn't help but look back. He felt that the south of the Huan River was filled with darkness, and he didn't know how many of Cao Cao's troops were among them.
Zhang Junyi didn't know that Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, was in the darkness.
Liu Ziyang, who is the young master but also serves as a servant and has two responsibilities in the young master's office, is also among the group of Pili chariots not far from the river bank.
In the Xuchang workshop, Jiu Qing, the big man in charge of construction, has seen the majesty of the thunderbolt car when it is shot countless times, but the big-headed man never gets tired of watching it.
Today, in front of the Prime Minister and Xun Yu and the others, Liu Ye saw thousands of cannons being fired, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
"Prime Minister, with Ziyang's advantage, this Yuanjiawu Fort can be pushed forward at every turn. Isn't Hebei just around the corner?"
After receiving the news that the Xiliang lineage and the entire army had been destroyed, the pressure placed on Xun You by Tongguan's secret letter immediately dissipated a lot.
Ling Jun is good at literary affairs and is also proficient in military strategy, but he is still a little behind in the way of fighting formations. With one sentence, the generals behind Cao Cao burst into laughter.
