Can I get to the other side?

Not long after Xiahou Dun led the army into the plain, he discovered the army blocking their way in the distance and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing.

"What does Zhang Liao mean? He doesn't defend the city. Is there something deceitful about it?"

Xiahou Dun was very confused.

Zhang Liao knew that he was determined to win Runan, but he actually led his army out of the city? This is unreasonable!

There was most likely a trap waiting for him to jump into.

Cao Chun stood up on his horse and looked at the army that had formed its formation in the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"Looking at the size of the enemy army, it is far more than the 5,000 men guarding Runan. It should be Lu Bu who sent troops from Danyang County for reinforcements.

If my guess is correct, Zhang Liao left the city because he was afraid that we would have trouble attacking the city and retreated.

He really has a big appetite! He actually wants to annihilate us in one battle and finish his work in one battle! "

"Ignorant boy, how can you be so arrogant!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly, not taking Zhang Liao seriously, "I don't know if Lu Bu is coming. If he comes, I will definitely chop off his head."

Cao Chun rode on horseback and looked around, looking for a place to hide his troops.

"Yuan Rang and Zhang Liao came out of the city to fight. I think there is a deceit in them. Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy."

Xiahou Dun nodded in agreement, "Zihe, are we fighting or retreating now?"

Although he was the commander in chief of the attack on Runan, Cao Chun only rode over with tigers and leopards to support him midway.

But he admired Cao Chun's military talents very much, so he was willing to listen to his opinions.

"Why not fight?"

Cao Chun held the reins tightly, his eyes flashing coldly, "I have brought five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to support you. This place is a plain, which is perfect for a cavalry charge!"

"Besides, we must capture Runan County, so why should we avoid fighting?"

"Taking this opportunity, I also want to see if Gao Shun's trapped camp can withstand the charge of my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

If it were in another place, Cao Chun would not dare to fight rashly.

But this place is a plain, and there is a tiger and leopard riding in his hand, so he has no reason to be timid.

What's more, Cao Cao issued a death order to capture Runan at any cost.

Runan is adjacent to Yuzhou. If we can capture this place, we can advance, attack, retreat and defend, which is extremely critical to the overall battle situation of occupying Yangzhou.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Zihe are all the best in the world, and there may be hundreds of men to make up for them. How can they be compared to those trapped in the camp?"

Xiahou Dun said, agreeing with Cao Chun's opinion of fighting.

"I will lead the army in front, and Zihe will wait for the opportunity in the rear."

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are heavily armored cavalry, with both men and horses wearing heavy armor.

He is invincible on this plain battlefield!

Five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, as long as they enter the battlefield at the right time, can penetrate thousands or even tens of thousands of troops and secure the victory of a war!

"Don't worry, Yuan Rang!" Cao Chun nodded heavily, with fighting spirit in his eyes, "If Lu Bu comes, I will resist his Bingzhou cavalry together!"

He had long heard that Lu Bu not only had troops trapped in the camp, but also had a thousand-man Bingzhou cavalry, dedicated to rushing with Lu Bu to kill the enemy's formation, killing generals and seizing flags among thousands of troops, which could be said to be invincible.

I wonder which one is better compared to his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?

…

When Zhang Liao saw that Xiahou Dun's army changed its formation and continued to advance towards his own side, he immediately made various arrangements and commands.

The war broke out, and before the two sides came into close contact, they each fired several rounds of arrows.

There is nothing fancy about the decisive battle on the plains. It is just the collision of the strength of the armies of both sides. It is the simplest and most direct fighting melee!

The competition is who has better equipment, whose generals are braver, and whose soldiers are more capable and fearless of death!

"Formation——!"

Gao Shun led the 700 trapped camp at the front of the army and collided with the oncoming Cao army!

Then a shocking scene appeared. Under the impact of an enemy army several times their size, the phalanx trapped in the camp was not broken up.

Like a rock in a rushing river, it blocked Cao Jun's attack!

After all, there are only 700 people in the trapped camp, which cannot withstand the entire front. Therefore, while dividing Cao's army's formation, he also fell into the siege of Cao's army, just like the name of the trapped camp!

The ambition to be trapped will lead to death but not life!

The soldiers of the seven hundred trapped camp were all elites from hundreds of battles. Even though they were surrounded by Cao's army, their formation was not disordered at all.

"kill--!"

The trapped camp at the front was really invincible, and they killed a large number of enemies in an instant.

They advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and cooperated with each other tacitly. The seven hundred people were like one body under Gao Shun's command!

Swing your sword and kill the enemy.

Swing your sword and kill the enemy.

They repeated the action of swinging their swords to kill the enemy in an orderly and even leisurely manner.

Yes, just take your time.

It is difficult to imagine that the words "calm and unhurried" can be used to describe an army on the battlefield.

Elite soldiers, sophisticated armors and weapons, combined with generals who can command them like arms, the combat power they unleash is astonishing!

Gao Shun led the 700 trapped troops in the enemy's camp and massacred Cao's army wantonly. He was truly invincible!

"Is this a trap? It really deserves its reputation!"

After Xiahou Dun saw with his own eyes the dominance of the trapped camp on the battlefield, he was immediately shocked.

"All officers and men, follow this general to charge and annihilate the trapped camp!"

Xiahou Dun roared angrily and personally led a cavalry charge to the trapped camp.

The cavalry naturally restrains the infantry. Even the well-equipped heavy infantry like the trapped camp can use the chariot formation to kill them alive!

The mobility of cavalry is completely incomparable to that of infantry. Xiahou Dun led a special force to circle around the outside of the trap camp, looking for flaws and then attacking.

This is exactly the usual tactic of cavalry against infantry.

But the trap camp is obviously not an ordinary infantry, and Gao Shun is an experienced general.

After recognizing Xiahou Dun's strategy, he immediately ordered to shrink the formation.

At the same time, Zhang Liao saw the Cao army's banner rushing towards Gao Shun's trap camp, and immediately asked the flag bearer to send a flag signal.

"The enemy general has moved, and the general should go out!"

On a hill outside the battlefield.

Lu Bu saw the flag signal, waved his halberd, and shouted to the Bingzhou Wolf Riders behind him: "Follow me to charge the formation! Defeat the Cao army and kill Xiahou Dun! Kill——!"

"Kill——!"

A thousand Bingzhou Wolf Riders followed Lu Bu and roared out like thunder!

Lu Bu's best tactics are charging the formation and killing the generals.

As he and the Bingzhou Wolf Riders joined the battlefield, the flank of Cao's army was immediately pierced.

After breaking up the Cao army camp, Lu Bu was like a demon descending to the world, rushing and killing in the enemy camp.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was difficult for an ordinary strong man to lift, seemed to have no weight in his hand. .

He was like entering an empty space, and every time he waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji, he could take away a group of Cao's soldiers.

Broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.

The terrifying and shocking violent aesthetics were perfectly displayed on this battlefield!

On the battlefield, the bravery of the generals can boost the morale of the entire army.

Lu Bu killed people like cutting grass, which frightened the Cao army, and the morale of his own army was greatly boosted!

"Xiahou Dun!"

In the chaotic battlefield, Lu Bu finally saw where Xiahou Dun's big banner was, and immediately grinned and rushed over!

His mission on the battlefield was to kill the enemy's main general and kill as many generals as possible.

This made Cao's army leaderless and eventually fell into defeat.

Xiahou Dun noticed Lu Bu charging towards him, and instantly knew his intention, and was immediately furious!

"Lu Bu, you little brat! Do you really think I'm easy to kill!"

He was also an unparalleled warrior, how could he tolerate Lu Bu treating him as a prey that could be slaughtered at will?

He raised his spear without hesitation and killed Lu Bu.

"Don't overestimate your ability!"

Seeing Xiahou Dun rushing towards him, Lu Bu was very disdainful.

In his opinion, this man's martial arts was just okay.

At most fifty rounds, he could be killed off his horse.

In an instant, Bingzhou Wolf Riders and Xiahou Dun's Iron Riders crossed!

Swords flashed, iron armor clanged!

Lu Bu also fought with Xiahou Dun!

Xiahou Dun's martial arts were quite good, but he was directly at a disadvantage when he fought with Lu Bu.

"How can this slave of three surnames be so brave?!"

After more than a dozen rounds, Xiahou Dun was horrified and did not dare to continue fighting with Lu Bu.

If he continued to fight, he would be killed!

After struggling to block Lu Bu's halberd, Xiahou Dun fled on horseback under the cover of eight personal guards.

"Don't run!"

When Lu Bu saw Xiahou Dun fleeing from the battlefield, he was very angry.

He immediately turned his horse's head and wanted to lead the Bingzhou cavalry to chase him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the ground tremble faintly.

Looking up, his eyes were suddenly straight.

On the right side of the battlefield, a cavalry of hundreds of people rushed towards the battlefield.

These cavalrymen were all wearing heavy armor, and even the horses under their crotches were wearing armor.

There were only about 500 people, but the power of the rushing made the earth shake, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting.

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!!!"

Lv Bu recognized the origin of the army in front of him at a glance, and his heart was extremely jealous!

Before seeing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he still had a fluke, thinking that his Bingzhou Iron Cavalry would not be worse than the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Now he has directly dispelled this idea.

About 500 cavalrymen, all wearing heavy armor, how can Cao thieves be so rich!

"Three surnames of slaves, give up your life!"

In an instant, Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the battlefield.

There seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes, and he ran straight to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu wanted to behead Xiahou Dun, and his goal was also to behead the enemy's main general.

"Entrapment Camp, resist!"

Gao Shun roared and ordered the trap camp to resist the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged, and the momentum alone was terrifying.

If the trap camp did not resist, the army would suffer heavy losses.

Maybe there would be thousands of casualties in a charge.

Seven hundred to five hundred, Xianzhen Camp against Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The Xianzhen Camp, which had been able to stand firm against Cao's army that was several times larger than itself on the battlefield, was broken up this time.

"Kill!"

Cao Chun, who had broken through the Xianzhen Camp formation, now only wanted to take Lu Bu's head!

"Looking for death!"

Seeing Cao Chun rushing towards him, Lu Bu was furious and chopped him with his Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"Clang!"

The spear and halberd intersected, bursting out a dazzling fire.

Cao Chun's knuckles instantly cracked, blood flowed out, and his arms were numb, and he could hardly hold the weapon!

"So strong!"

After just one face-to-face fight, Cao Chun realized that he was no match for Lu Bu at all!

"Zihe, retreat quickly!"

Xiahou Dun, who was far away, saw that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry only broke through the Xianzhen Camp formation, but did not cause the one-sided massacre he imagined, and immediately asked Cao Chun to retreat.

The role of heavy cavalry is to charge the formation, the kind that directly rushes out of the battlefield.

If he hadn't succeeded in one go, Cao Chun would not have been able to continue to kill Lu Bu with the momentum of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's charge.

On the contrary, there is a risk of being killed by Lu Bu.

Xiahou Dun was shocked to see Cao Chun's mouth cracked and covered with blood when he retreated.

"Lu Bu is so brave that he can crack my mouth with just one blow!" Cao Chun's face was livid, and his hand holding the gun was still trembling slightly. He said in a deep voice: "He is unparalleled in the world and deserves the title. With Lu Bu and the Xianzhen Camp, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to win this battle."

Xiahou Dun's face turned pale, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that he had high hopes for did not work!

Seeing Lu Bu coming like a demon covered in blood, the morale of his own army was somewhat broken, and he could only order a withdrawal.

Not far away, Lu Bu heard the sound of the horn from Cao's army. How could he let them go?

"Cowardly rats!"

He could not accept the failure of the decapitation tactic.

He could not accept that he could not annihilate Cao's army and leave the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that made him jealous.

He immediately shouted, "Bring the bow and arrow!"

The guards beside him quickly took down the bow and arrow placed beside their horses and handed them over.

Lu Bu bent his bow and aimed the arrow at Xiahou Dun.

Cao Chun was wearing heavy armor. He could not kill Cao Chun with this arrow, but he was confident that he could kill Xiahou Dun!

His fingers loosened slightly, and the arrow flew towards Xiahou Dun like a meteor!

Xiahou Dun, who was retreating, suddenly felt a panic and chest tightness. He turned his head and saw a feather arrow flying straight towards his face!

Xiahou Dun was shocked and subconsciously reached out to grab it. He actually caught the arrow.

However, the speed of the feather arrow was too fast, and the force contained in it was too strong. Although he was lucky enough to catch the arrow, the arrowhead still sank into his left eye!

"Ah--!"

Xiahou Dun screamed in pain and fell off his horse.

Cao Chun heard the sound and saw that Xiahou Dun was shot in the face. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted anxiously: "Yuan Rang!!!"

Cao Chun didn't care about the danger. He stopped his horse and checked Xiahou Dun's condition.

Bleeding profusely, Xiahou Dun's face was extremely pale, and his forehead was sweating from the pain. His whole body was trembling.

"Yuan Rang! How are you!"

Cao Chun was extremely anxious.

This battle can be lost, but Xiahou Dun must not die! Otherwise, not to mention his cousin Cao Cao and his elder brother Cao Ren, even he himself would not be able to forgive himself.

Xiahou Dun felt his eyes go dark, took a breath, and tried to hold on to the pain without fainting. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine! Keep retreating!"

"Your eye..."

Before Cao Chun finished speaking, Xiahou Dun pulled out the arrow stuck in his left eye with force. Then, regardless of the blood and the endless pain, he directly inserted two fingers into his left eye, pulled out the entire eye that had been shot, and threw it into his mouth!

"The essence and blood of parents cannot be abandoned!" Xiahou Dun's face was ferocious, and he chewed and roared.

This bloody scene shocked Cao Chun so much that his eyes widened!

Even the soldiers around him were extremely shocked!

For a while, morale turned around!

Xiahou Dun did not change his face, cut off a piece of cloak to tie up the empty left eye socket, and got on the horse again after stopping the bleeding.

He turned back and looked at Lu Bu fiercely, and with boundless anger, he withdrew from the battlefield with Cao Chun.

Lu Bu, who was far away, saw everything Xiahou Dun had just done, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"This Xiahou Dun, is he so stubborn? He is a real hero."

Lu Bu rarely ridiculed his opponent, but admired him.

After his eyes were shot blind, he actually dug them out and ate them! Is this something that ordinary people can do?

At this time, Gao Shun also gathered with the Xianzhen Camp and asked, "General, Wenyuan sent a flag signal, don't chase too far."

Lu Bu heard this and then retracted his gaze and nodded, "Just follow Wenyuan, don't chase the desperate enemy."

Zhang Liao asked him not to chase too far, so he naturally wouldn't make his own decision.

This time, being able to repel Xiahou Dun's army was a great victory, not to mention that one of Xiahou Dun's eyes was shot blind.

"You take people to clean up the battlefield and collect the heavy armor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

Lu Bu was obsessed with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and was extremely jealous.

He thought to himself, "If the Zhen family can provide funding and spend a lot of money to build a 5,000-man Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for me, who in the world can stop me?"

...

At the same time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took advantage of the more than one month of fighting between Lu Bu and Cao's army to seize Lujiang County.

An imperial edict was also sent from Yecheng to the Qiao family in Wan County under the jurisdiction of Lujiang County.
