Because Le Jin had made the first contribution to defeating Chaoge City, Cao Ang promoted Le Jin on the spot in the name of general, from the captain of the enemy to the captain of the enemy.

At this moment, 30,000 Huainan New Army infantry were handed over to the command of Le Jin, but Le Jin was deeply moved.

After all, before this, Le Jin had always been the captain of the formation, that is, the one who broke the formation first, and had never commanded more than 3,000 people.

However, Cao Ang directly asked him to lead an army of 30,000 people. He was so trusting in employing people and had great trust in Le Jin that moved Le Jin deeply.

He even made the intention to die in his heart.

In Cao Ang's view, Le Jin himself had such talent, but before that, the old Cao family was weak, so the official positions and command of the generals under his command were reduced because of fewer soldiers and horses.

At this time, Cao's army already numbered hundreds of thousands, so naturally he had to give Le Jin, a good general of five, a chance to be promoted as soon as possible.

"Le Jin, if you can make new achievements in this battle, I will declare you a tiger and a brave general!"

Before the war started, Cao Ang said to Le Jin with a smile.

General Hu Ben, Zhonglang General, is under the title of general and above the rank of captain.

Seeing that just a few days after being promoted to captain, he had the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General. , Le Jin accepted the order happily and worked hard to achieve another success!

"Beat the drum and march!"

At this time, among the 200,000 Yuan troops facing each other, General Wen Chou's eyes narrowed slightly and he ordered an attack.

Having learned the lesson from his old partner Yan Liang who was killed before, Wen Chou did not underestimate the enemy, nor did he go to the battle in person. Instead, he set up the big banner. After forming numerous military formations, they were back-to-back with Gao Gan's Bingzhou Army. Zhang

He led the troops in the southeast corner, Gao Lan led the troops in the east, and Qian Zhao led the troops in the west. The 200,000-strong army was divided into three sides, squeezing towards Cao's army in the middle. Pressed away.

Cao Ang did not fight immediately, but instead threw the heads of Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng far away in front of Yuan Jun. At the same time, he shouted loudly:"Hebei soldiers, listen, I am General Cao Ang, Fengtian Zi Zhao conquered the unconquered ministers!

Now that Yuan Shao has rebelled and disturbed the emperor, I have taken out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and burned his Chaoge and Tun grain.

The heads of the governor Chun Yuqiong and general Han Meng who were guarding the grain are here. The more than 10,000 troops guarding the grain in Chaoge have all become surrendered soldiers. This place is the confirmation of my words!

From today on, Yuan Shao's rebels will no longer have military food supplies!

If you abandon the secret and turn to the light, and come back to the court as soon as possible, the court will treat everyone equally and provide food rations!

If you persist in your stubbornness and surrender after being defeated after the army's food supply is cut off, you will lose the opportunity to surrender and you will regret it later."

Cao Ang's voice, like a yellow bell, shook the battlefield. When it fell into the ears of 200,000 Yuan troops, it immediately caused a wave of shock among the 627 Hebei army.

For the soldiers, in this troubled world The CIC army was just for a meal.

But if the supply of military rations could not be guaranteed, how could the military not be panicked?

Suddenly, there was an uproar among the 200,000 troops.

Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals saw Xiang couldn't help but look gloomy and sighed softly.

They were senior generals of the Yuan Army. They had known about the burning of Chaoge's grain reserves as early as in the Chinese military tent. They had been hiding it just to stabilize the morale of the army.

But they also knew that they could not hide it. How long, at this moment, Cao Ang really exposed it in front of 200,000 troops, which caused a wave of emotions in the army.

But fortunately, they were not unprepared. They saw Zhang He shouting:"Soldiers, there is no need to panic!

Each camp of our army already has more than a month's supply of food and grass. Even if the food stored in Chaoge is burned, there is no need to worry.

Moreover, the four states of Hebei have vast territory and rich resources, and are abundant in money and food. Even if the food stored in Chaoge is burned, there will still be countless money and food in Yecheng, which can be transported at any time!

This is Cao Jun's plan to attack the enemy's heart. Don't let the soldiers fall into the trap!

We should work together to defeat Cao Jun in this battle!

Then our army can attack Xudu, get Cao's army in Yuzhou to store grain, and then return to Jizhou. The lord will open the Jizhou treasury, collect grain, grass, money and silk, and give a big reward to the three armies!"

Zhang He is still very good at leading troops, and he is convinced by the soldiers in Hebei. Therefore, as soon as he stood up and comforted Yuan Jun's panic, the panic of the army calmed down a lot, and there was no chaos for the time being.

Of course, on the one hand, it was because Yuan Shao's army was so weak Preventing Cao's army from cutting off the food road, there is indeed a month's worth of food.

On the other hand, the besieged Cao army has less than 40,000 troops. Yuan's army has the advantage with strong soldiers and horses. From the perspective of Yuan's soldiers, victory is naturally obvious.

And Yuan's army is opposite. , Cao Ang was not angry that Zhang He came forward to appease the morale of the army.

He also did not expect that just with Chunyu Qionghan's head and the news that Chaoge's grain reserves were burned, he could cause Yuan's army to be in chaos.

It was just that Yuan Shao first It’s just a seed planted in the army.

This seed will only play a real role when the Hebei army is about to run out of food and grass.

"Zhang He can be a good general!"

Before the military formation, Cao Ang made a very pretentious comment. He indeed has this qualification.

After all, looking at the world, there is no one who can match Cao Ang's performance!

In terms of reputation, Cao Ang is even more famous with twenty At the age of one year old, he has already reached the peak of military generals and is now the general of the dynasty!

Even Zhang He, who was facing each other, had a look of glory on his face after hearing Cao Ang's comments.

Although the two armies were facing each other at the moment, they were fighting for each other. It is a rare thing for a military general to get a compliment from Cao Ang! It is better to get Yuan Shu's thousand gold than to get Cao Lang's penny! It is better to get Cao Lang's praise than to get a hundred catties of gold and jade!

Of course, this is just a battle on the battlefield. An episode on the show.

As the Yuan armies from three sides advanced to confront each other, Cao Ang finally began to give orders.

He was seen holding three command arrows, and he was the first to look at Le Jin:"Le Jin, you lead 30,000 troops, for Is it possible for me to defeat the Qianzhao troops in the west, kill the generals and seize the flag? Le Jin , who was short in stature, immediately took the order and came out, took the command arrow, and said solemnly:"At the end of the day, I will behead the general and take the head of the move to see the general. If you can't, you are willing to chop off my head instead!" Seeing that

Le Jin was so confident, Cao Ang felt relieved, so he asked Le Jin to take the order to march.

"Li Cunxiao, you can lead 400 black armored hussars and 3,000 valiant cavalry to attack Zhang He and defeat Zhang He's army for me. Is it possible?"

Cao Ang looked at Li Cunxiao again, raised his second command arrow and said.

In fact, Cao Ang knew that Li Cunxiao could definitely do it. Asking such a question was just to cheer up the soldiers before the battle.

Li Cunxiao could kill with hundreds of cavalry. A fierce man who can defeat an army of 100,000, not to mention that Cao Ang allocated him 400 heavily armored hussars and 3,000 valiant cavalry and light cavalry.

This valiant cavalry and light cavalry were made up of the elites of the Xiliang princes in Guanzhong who were surrendered by Jia Xu. Five thousand Liangqi.

After attacking Chaoge, Cao Ang commended the Liangqi for their contribution and gave them the title of Xiaoqijun, which is equivalent to that of the Hussar Army.

Li Cunxiao agreed, and immediately took the order arrow, cupped his fists and accepted the order:" The general has received his orders, Zhang He will be defeated in this battle!"

"Xu Chu, you can lead 500 Xuanjia Hussars and 2,000 Valiant Cavalry, go straight to Gao Lan and defeat Gao Lan's army for me, is it possible?"

Cao Ang held the last command arrow and looked at Xu Chudao.

Xu Chu moved like a hill, hugged his arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs and said:"The general will live up to the general's order!"

At this point, Cao Ang's three command arrows have been issued.

All the five thousand valiant cavalry under his command have been allocated to Li Cunxiao and Xu Chu.

Most of the 1,400 mysterious heavy cavalry among the two thousand valiant cavalry have also been allocated.

There were only 500 black-armored hussars left, 600 hussars and light cavalry, and 600 royal guards with repeating crossbows, a total of 1,700 soldiers.

Cao Ang looked at these 1,700 soldiers. Pointing the Overlord Spear forward in his hand, he shouted domineeringly:"Soldiers, follow me to take Wen Chou's great banner, defeat the elite troops of Hebei, kill the generals and seize the flag!"

As he said that, Cao Ang took the lead and rushed forward.

Five hundred heavy armored hussars followed behind him, forming a wedge formation to Cao Ang's left and right.

Six hundred light cavalry followed the heavy armored hussars, all with powerful crossbows. Winding up the string will cause Cao Ang and the 500 heavy armors to tear apart the enemy formation and cause more damage to the enemy with the force of charging into the formation.

And the 600 Jinyi guards all mounted their prepared horses, each holding a serial crossbow and carrying a crossbow on his waist. Hanging embroidered spring swords, robes and armor, and complete equipment.

The Jinyiwei are not only spy guards, but also elite soldiers in hundreds of battles! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The first generation of Jinyiwei in history followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his southern expedition The Royal Guards are composed of veterans of hundreds of battles in the Northern War!

The royal guards produced by the system are all versatile. They can be soldiers when mounted, and spies when dismounted. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's elites from hundreds of battles, they are only stronger than weak!

Even individual soldiers Their combat power is stronger than that of the Hussars!

In addition, they are all armed with repeating crossbows, so they can be a surprise force!

Such an array can be said to be the best ratio of the forces in Cao Ang's hands at this moment!

And Yuan Jun's array on the opposite side is deep At this place, Wen Chou was wearing heavy armor and was protected by a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding shields. Looking at Cao Ang from a distance, he divided the eight thousand cavalry into three teams. He dared to divide his troops. This Cao Zixiu really underestimated me, the hero of Hebei!

The gun and shield bearers are in front, and the crossbowmen form a formation and release arrows!

The Euphorbia warriors were behind the archers. After the crossbowmen fired three rounds of arrows and retreated from the left and right, the Euphorbia warriors stepped forward to block Cao's heavy cavalry!

In this battle, I want Cao Ang and his world-famous elite cavalry to fall into the hands of our Hebei elite soldiers!"

As a general in Hebei, Wen Chou has his own way of using troops, and he has such confidence.

The reason is that in the battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao ordered his general Qu Yi to ambush with powerful crossbows, killing most of Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong, and then another The heavy-armored Euphorbia warriors blocked the attack and annihilated all Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers at the boundary bridge. Now Qu Yi was executed by Yuan Shao for treason, but Jizhou Jinnu, the Euphorbia warriors, the Xianden dead warriors and other elites were still there!

With Cao Ang leading his army, they had already rushed to one hundred and fifty steps away from Wen Chou's army formation. Wen Chou also held the flag tightly and was about to order the crossbowmen to release arrows.

But at this time, behind Cao Ang, he saw that instead, he jumped up first There was a rain of arrows!

There were not many arrows, about hundreds of arrows, but they were separated by a hundred or dozens of steps. They fell into the front of Wen Chou's army in a parabola, killing the spearmen, shieldmen and crossbowmen at the front. , and shot a piece! []

At this moment, Wen Chou's pupils shrank suddenly!

He never expected that Cao Jun could actually release a crossbow with such a long range on horseback!

You know, Lu Bu fired his halberd at the gate, one hundred and fifty steps away, Hitting the branch of the painted halberd not only demonstrated Lu Bu's marksmanship, but also revealed Lu Bu's arm strength.

In this era, strong bows and powerful crossbows that could be operated by a single soldier had a maximum range of about 150 to 200 steps.

However , The effective range is within a hundred steps.

Therefore, seeing Cao Ang leading with 500 heavily armored cavalry, Wen Chou planned to put Cao's army within a hundred steps before firing arrows.

As a result, Cao Ang's army behind Cao Ang was separated by a distance. The arrow was released a hundred and fifty steps away!

Even if it is a strong crossbow that has been strung in advance, the hand crossbow is often used immediately. Compared with the strong crossbows used in ordinary infantry battles, the power is reduced, and it is far less than the waist crossbow and the crossbow. Crossbows and other large powerful crossbows.

Logically speaking, the effective range of a horse crossbow is within eighty steps, while the effective range of a horse bow must be within fifty steps.

Therefore, Wen Chou never thought that Cao Jun could actually defeat him in one A hundred and fifty steps away, a burst of crossbow arrows were fired first!

Just as Wen Chou was surprised, another buzzing sound sounded among Cao's army.

Above the sky, one after another rain of arrows, almost coming one after another, one after another. Continuously!

Although there are only about 600 arrows in each rainstorm, they can't withstand the frequent firing! In a dozen breaths, Cao Jun rushed forward about a hundred steps, but twenty rains of arrows fell in front of Wen Chou's army.!

Tens of thousands of arrows were shot in total!

Although they were all short arrows, they were powerful. The last few arrows, because they were closer, could even penetrate the armor of the gun and shield man!

And the crispy bows and arrows Cao Jun's hand was shot to death by the dense rain of arrows!

More than a thousand people were injured!

Most of the crossbowmen who had almost transferred Wen Chou to the front of the formation were disabled!

At this moment, Wen Chou was completely stunned!

He could see Cao Jun's rear formation from a distance. There were hundreds of riders holding a strange crossbow. They were constantly loading and unloading arrows. They could fire twenty arrows in a row without replenishing arrows!

And the range could reach one hundred. Fifty steps away, and with strong lethality!

The crossbowmen under Wen Chou's cloth didn't even have time to release the first round of arrows, and most of them were killed by Cao's crossbow arrows and were destroyed on the spot. The remaining crossbowmen were only There was enough time to release a scattered round of arrows, but it had no impact on the leading 500 heavily armored cavalry of Cao's army.

On the contrary, the 500 heavy cavalry of Xuanjia and the 600 light cavalry of the hussar army also arrived. Within range, a hand crossbow was fired on the horse.

Of course, it is incomparable with the repeating crossbow, and it can only be fired for one round.

Taking advantage of this effort, Liubai Jinyiwei hurriedly loaded up his arrows and began the second round of upward shooting.

At this time, Wen Chou's crossbowmen were almost completely wiped out!

Even the Euphorbia soldiers farther behind had many short arrows hit their armor leaves and injured their vital organs.

For a moment, before Cao Ang's army rushed to the front, Wen Chou's front line was already in disarray!

Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

The repeating crossbow produced by this system is indeed very powerful and extraordinary!

In his first appearance, he achieved such amazing results and saved Cao Ang a lot of time in breaking the formation!

At this moment, Zhang He's army, which was close to Wen Chou's army, also saw such a scene, which made Zhang He look horrified and said in shock:"Why is there such a strange and powerful crossbow among Cao's army!

It can fire continuously ? Twenty arrows, and it’s so powerful!

Could it be the same as Cao Lang Qian, another Cao Lang crossbow created by Cao Zixiu!"

Farther away, Gao Lan, who was next to Zhang He's army, was also alarmed. He was just as shocked as Zhang He.

In fact, because Gao Lan was arrayed to the east and on the side of Cao's army, onlookers could see clearly.

While being shocked, Gao Lan couldn't help but sigh:"Fortunately, there are only a few hundred in Cao's army with such magical crossbows.

Otherwise, if Cao's army is equipped with a wide range of crossbows, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?"……"
