Pang Tong brought 50,000 new soldiers, so the army was extremely strong. The 120,000 troops marched to less than a hundred miles away from Wancheng, and then Cao Jun learned that there was a large army heading north in the direction of Jingchu!
"Bang!" Cao Ren slammed the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, "What do our army's scouts do for food? Where are the people from the school office? The enemies have already reached the door of the house, and you just told me that someone is coming.
Is it okay? Will someone put a knife on my neck tomorrow and tell me the city is broken?"
Faced with Cao Ren's anger, no one dared to speak. Because across the Han River, the intelligence gathering of the school office was not as fast as Cao Ren imagined. When Pang Tong sent troops, he banned ships from both sides of the Han River.
The purpose is to prevent Cao Jun from getting the news.
They marched quickly along the way, with almost no stops. The intelligence from the school affairs office was not as fast as Pang Tong's. As for the scouts, this was Cao Ren's own problem. In Cao Ren's view, it was fine if the north did not go south. How dare Jingchu
Heading north?
Even when he was leading troops to fight, Cao Ren often looked down upon Liu Jun, thinking that Liu Jun was vulnerable and did not dare to go out of the city to ambush Cao Jun, so he almost never sent any scouts to investigate.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Cao Ren sat in front of the desk and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are here from Liu Jun?"
A tall and round man raised his hands and replied to Cao Ren, "According to our scouts, it's no less than one hundred thousand!"
"Not less than one hundred thousand?" Cao Ren stood up again, dumbfounded, "Is Liu Cong going to send troops with all his strength? Is he not on guard against Jiangdong?"
No one could answer Cao Ren's question. Cao Ren, who realized that he had lost his temper, calmed down and said, "Immediately send fast horses to Xudu to tell the prime minister and ask him to send troops to support."
"Come here, give me some armor! I want to see what the thieves in Jingchu have done to dare to go north to attack us!"
As a general and commander-in-chief, Cao Ren not only cannot panic, but also shows disdain and despises the enemy troops in Jingchu to boost his own morale. Although Cao Ren is also a little afraid of the number of one hundred thousand, if he messes up his position first, then what will happen to him?
There is no need to fight.
An hour later, Cao Ren and the generals standing at the top of the city first saw a black line, and then a huge army, like rolling waves, rising and falling towards Wancheng!
"Looking at this military formation and flags, I'm afraid there really are 100,000 troops. General, should we..."
"Come here, pull him down and chop him down." Before the captain finished speaking, Cao Ren interrupted him. Ignoring the captain's cry for mercy, Cao Ren stared at the generals and said fiercely, "Anyone who talks about retreating again
, disrupting the morale of the army, I will kill him immediately!"
"The Prime Minister sent me to garrison in Wancheng because he trusts me. If he abandons the city without even fighting, will he be worthy of the Prime Minister's trust?"
As he said that, he pointed to the Pang-shaped handsome flag that was clearly visible outside the city, and scolded the generals, "When will the traitors in Jingchu be our opponents? In a field battle, we can defeat five of them, let alone defend them."
The city is here."
"Xuchang is only three hundred miles away from Wancheng. The cavalry can arrive in half a day. What do we have to fear? As long as we defend Wancheng, you will all be heroes. I will personally report to the prime minister to ask for your merit!"
"Qiang!" Cao Ren pulled out his sword and continued to encourage morale, "We will not retreat until we fight to the death! Do you dare to follow my general and fight to the death?"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Cao Ren nodded with satisfaction. Even the soldiers on the surrounding walls were inspired by Cao Ren's words, and some even shouted along excitedly.
"Niujin!"
"The end is here!"
Niu Jin was the tall, round-waisted man. He was wearing armor. When he heard Cao Ren calling him, and when he held his hand, the armor on his body jingled.
"There are five thousand cavalry in Wancheng. I will give them to you. Do you dare to go out of the city to attack Liu Jun?" Facing an army of one hundred thousand, Cao Ren actually wanted to send troops out of the city to attack the enemy!
Niu Jin was also a rough-and-tumble Northern man, a man of great skill and bold. He clasped his fists and said loudly and forcefully to Cao Ren, "The last general will take your orders! I will definitely not disappoint the general!"
"My sons, come with me!" A moment later, Niu Jin led five thousand knights and filed out of the city gate!
While the dust was flying, Niu Jin led his troops and rushed straight towards Liu Jun!
"Grand Governor, the enemy troops have left the city and charged into battle." Beside Pang Tong's carriage, veteran Huang Zhong reported to Pang Tong in the carriage.
Although the carriage Pang Tong was sitting on was still a frame, the carriage had been dismantled and replaced with an umbrella cover.
Pang Tong, who was sitting in the car, sneered, "How brave, let Zhao Yun and Xuanjia cavalry go out to meet the enemy!"
"No!" the messenger quickly rode his horse to deliver the order.
When Wancheng was less than twenty miles away, Pang Tong ordered the Xuanjia cavalry to penetrate the armor. Now is the time to use it!
"General Zhao Yun, the founding general of the army, listen to the order! The governor ordered you to lead the troops out to meet the enemy!" The ordering soldier rode up and shouted to the black armor cavalry in the army formation.
"The last general takes command!" Unlike other knights, Zhao Yun's armor is silver, even his war horse is white, and the spear he holds is also a silver spear!
With Liu Cong's investment, the Black Armor Cavalry only expanded by 500 people. Jingchu did not lack iron, but there were many places to use it. Before, Liu Cong could make 3,000 people at once.
It was only through the wealth that Liu Biao had accumulated for him and the hundreds of thousands of pig iron he bought from Jiangdong that he could create such a strong army.
Zhao Yun raised his silver spear and ordered to the silent knight behind him, "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, follow me out into the battle, and you will make great achievements today!"
"Make great achievements!"
"Make great achievements!"
When Cao Cao's cavalry marched south, their most glorious achievement was when their horses trampled Cao Cao's camp, with Liu Cong personally leading the troops. After that, Xu Feng led the troops and chased Liu Bei's remaining defeated generals.
With only two opportunities to fight, the reputation of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry spread throughout Jingchu and even throughout the world.
But as a knight in black armor, every soldier is eager to fight, eager to gallop his horse and hit the enemy to pieces! They even defeated the world-famous Cao Cao, let alone the others?
"Hoo, ho, ho ho ho." As the order was given, a big hole opened in the middle of Liu Jun's formation.
The black-armored cavalry, which had been preparing for a long time, slowly came out of the battle! Because both men and horses were wearing armor, the war horses did not run very fast at first.
Within a moment, the adapted war horses began to gallop!
"General, it's the enemy's cavalry!" A deputy general next to Niu Jin shouted in shock.
Most of the generals in Wancheng had traveled south with Cao Cao, so naturally they had seen this unrivaled cavalry!
"General, should we ride and shoot separately?"
Niu Jin didn't even blink, "General Cao's order is to attack the enemy formation! If you are not afraid of death, just follow me and charge!"
"But, general, how can we beat them?" The deputy general was a little helpless. Why is this Niu Jin so stubborn?
Niu Jin said in a deep voice, "They are all men with one horse and two eggs. Don't they have an extra pair of armor? Rush over and kill him without leaving any trace of his armor behind!"
"General! No way..."
"drive!"
Now Cao Ren at the top of the city also saw the black armor cavalry charging out of Liu Jun's formation, and he was so anxious that he even patted the battlements!
He actually forgot that Liu Cong still had such a cavalry!
"Niu Jin, leave quickly! Leave quickly! You can come back, but don't rush forward!"
