However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the most elite force in Cao's army. Facing the charge of the Jiangdong Army's cavalry, they showed no fear. They live for war and have experienced many wars. Even if they are at a disadvantage, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are on the battlefield.

His performance was still heroic.

After the battle was deadlocked for half an hour, Cao Chun had the idea of ​​withdrawing his troops. Hundreds of heavy cavalry appeared among the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army. What an impact the heavy cavalry had on the battlefield. Cao Chun understood that the most powerful cavalry among the Cao Army.

It was because of the presence of heavy cavalry that they were invincible on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

The appearance of hundreds of heavy cavalry turned the situation on the battlefield into an unfavorable situation for the Jiangdong Army.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were at a disadvantage, they fought bravely, but they suffered considerable losses when fighting Jiangdong Army.

"Retreat!" Cao Chun decisively gave the order to retreat.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry wanted to evacuate from the battlefield. How could Zhou Tai let Cao Chunru want to lead the cavalry in pursuit for a while before leading the troops back? The victory of this battle allowed Jiangdong Army to gradually recover from the power of the enemy's pursuit just now.

After slowing down, many Jiangdong Army soldiers looked at the heavy cavalry with envy.

The most important thing for military officers on the battlefield is to survive on the battlefield. Only by surviving can there be more hope. The armor on the soldiers and the quality of the weapons in their hands will affect their performance on the battlefield.

.

The tiger and leopard cavalry retreated very fast, which frightened Zhou Tai. Just now Jiangdong's cavalry made a surprise attack, but when the tiger and leopard cavalry fought against Jiangdong's cavalry, they showed an extremely powerful side, even if they were defeated by Jiangdong's cavalry.

During the retreat, he still performed admirably.

But in the end, Jiangdong's cavalry won the battle.

After Cao Chun returned to the army, he recounted the process of pursuing Jiangdong's army. Cao Cao looked thoughtful. The stronger Jiangdong's army was on the battlefield, the greater damage it might cause to Cao's army.

At this time, on the battlefield in Yizhou, Lu Bu led the army to advance with great success. As long as Lu Bu defeated the city of Chengdu, it would mean that Liu Bei would become a loser on the battlefield in Yizhou. How could such a powerful Lu Bu not frighten the other princes?

In fact, Cao Cao also understood that now his biggest enemy with Jiangdong was Lu Bu.

There is a close relationship between Jiangdong Army and Lu Bu. This situation makes Cao Cao lack a sufficient sense of security, so it is imperative to defeat Jiangdong Army. After Jiangdong Army's power severely damaged Jingzhou,

, in future wars, Jiangdong Army will play a smaller role.

Cao Cao also wanted to make this choice to unite Jiangdong against Lu Bu. However, Lu Bu helped Jiangdong a lot, which to a large extent led to Jiangdong's army not easily supporting Cao's army in the war.

"I didn't expect that Jiangdong's army actually had heavy cavalry." Cao Cao said.

Xun You said: "My Lord, even if there are elite cavalry in the Jiangdong Army, it will be difficult to change the situation in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu's army in Jiangxia is just a stubborn resistance."

"Gongda, Zhou Yu is a wise man in Jiangdong, and he is very good at leading troops in battle." Cao Cao said, this is what he is most worried about. Zhou Yu has a high prestige in the Jiangdong army, and he wants to use a divorce plan to make Sun Quan lose his opponent.

Zhou Yu's trust was difficult to achieve on the battlefield in Jingzhou at this time.

Many of the civil servants in Jiangdong supported him, which to a certain extent made it easier for Cao Cao's army to win. As long as he could defeat Zhou Yu, Cao Cao would have the confidence to make Sun Quan surrender and own the land of Jingzhou.

Cao Cao's strength will be greatly improved.

Although Cao Cao was alarmed that the Jiangdong Army had heavy cavalry, judging from the battles on the battlefield, although the combat effectiveness of these cavalry was strong, the sophistication of their horses was not as good as that of their own cavalry.

If Zhou Yu deployed his troops and horses outside Xiling City for a decisive battle with his own army, that would be what Cao Cao wanted to see the most.

The two sides deployed their troops and horses to fight to the death, unless Zhou Yu saw the hope of victory, and this matter was extremely difficult. Jiangdong's army was elite, and Cao's army was equally powerful on the battlefield. When facing Cao's army, Zhou Yu would definitely have more considerations.

.

"Instruct Cao Hong to lead five thousand troops and rush to Xiling first." Cao Cao ordered.

After Cao Hong received the order, he was extremely excited. Following the 5,000-strong army to Xiling were 500 tiger and leopard cavalry. In this way, it would become easier to find out the enemy's situation on the battlefield.

Cao Hong was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Having the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the Tiger and Guard Army was equivalent to being in an invincible position on the battlefield.

Five thousand soldiers and horses came towards Xiling. In Xiling City, Zhou Yu was making a series of arrangements. At this time, the situation in Jingzhou was extremely unfavorable to Jiangdong Army. In terms of combat capabilities, Jiangdong Army was much better than Cao Army.

The gap between Jiangdong Army and Cao Jun is that the most elite force is the navy. If Jiangdong Army and Cao Jun start a decisive battle on the water, Zhou Yu has absolute confidence that he can defeat Cao Jun. The battle on land is much better than the battle on the water.

There is a big difference. If you want to win against Cao Jun, you must defeat Cao Jun in a land battle.

Zhou Yu has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which is already the most elite force in Jiangdong's army. If anything goes wrong with these troops on the battlefield, it will be the biggest threat to Jiangdong.

Jiangdong is not as stable as it seems on the surface. From the attitude of some officials in Jiangdong when Cao Cao led troops to attack Jingzhou, it can be seen that when dealing with Cao's army, many officials are loyal to Cao Cao. Behind Cao Cao are many people.

The imperial court in the capital made many officials have more thoughts about Cao Cao, which is understandable.

Zhou Yu once again chose Xiling as the location for the battlefield. Cao Chun led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the pursuit and suffered a lot of losses in Xiling. Zhou Yu once again chose Xiling as the location to ambush Cao Jun. If it could succeed,

It will definitely dampen the morale of Cao Jun.

Knowing that the vanguard general of Cao's army was Cao Hong, Zhou Yu gained greater confidence. Although Cao Hong was said to be a general among Cao's troops, his ability to lead troops in combat was much worse than that of Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan. Cao Ren was the top general of Cao's army.

A long-famous general in the army, he has led troops for Cao Cao for many years, and has extremely rich experience on the battlefield. Cao Hong usually fights as the deputy general of the army. Nowadays, Cao Hong, a famous general in Cao Cao's army, leads troops to fight in other places.

took on important responsibilities.

The vanguard army plays a decisive role in an army. If the vanguard army can perform meritorious service on the battlefield, it will lay a better foundation for the army to win on the battlefield. On the contrary, if the vanguard army suffers serious losses,

It will make the army in the rear feel desperate.
