Chapter 963: Heavy Cavalry Showdown

In the north, Zhang Yu attacked the opponent's city. Once he occupied it, he would evacuate the entire county.

It is simply insane, and it is more terrifying than the devils entering the village in later generations.

Evacuate all the population, whether it is aristocratic families or ordinary people, if you dare not cooperate, then see if Jiangdong's knife is good or bad.

After Zhang Yu captured the first city, Cao Ang led tens of thousands of people to defend it.

The two sides fought for four days, with more than 20,000 casualties each. In the end, Cao Ang broke out with soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yu continued to occupy the county.

Cao Ang's move won a lot of applause.

Cao Ang's image of not compromising, not avoiding, and daring to confront Zhang Yu was gradually cultivated.

This is also Cao Ang's purpose.

Cao Ang personally took the risk and led soldiers and horses to fight Zhang Yu. This is what Zhang Yu wanted to see.

Only with Cao Ang's identity can he attract more people.

After occupying another city, Zhang Yu continued to be his porter.

"At this time, the south should start a war. Let's continue to make a big fuss and cooperate with the actions of the south." After occupying the city, Zhang Yu said to his subordinates.

Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses blocked the surrounding area, but the people in some places had already fled.

I ran away, and there are more than 200,000 left, so it's not bad to take it back.

Cao Ang fought a battle and then retreated, earning him a lot of political capital.

"My lord, my lord sent the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry here to fight a big battle with Zhang Yu's army. Only in this way can we improve our prestige." Xun You said to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang also had the same meaning. The tiger and leopard cavalry trained by his family were designed to deal with Zhang Yu's heavy cavalry.

Zhang Yu's heavy cavalry put great pressure on them, and only heavy infantry and heavy cavalry could deal with it.

Zhang Yu continued to move his supplies and population, while Cao Ang was planning a war with Zhang Yu.

Only a big battle can justify their names.

Even if you lose,

Properly publicized, that is also a positive image.

Zhang Yu's direct evacuation of the population will cause panic in Jizhou and other areas. The only way to quell this panic is a big war.

The fierce fighting between Cao Jun and Zhang Yu's army gave Yuan Shi a chance to breathe.

With the assistance of Guo Tu and others, Yuan Shang gradually took control of a certain amount of power, and then began to replenish his troops and accumulate strength.

Zhang Yu knew all this, but he didn't care, and didn't influence or interfere at all.

A few days after the war, Zhang Yu received information from Tai Shici.

"My lord, Cao's army has been frequently mobilized recently, so there must be some plan."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu said: "We will defend for the time being, and look for opportunities after the news from the south comes.

Tactics are different for different strategic goals.

In order to occupy the territory in the south, it is necessary to fight tough battles and attack the city, while in the north, Zhang Yu's purpose is not to seize the territory.

Another day later, Tai Shici came to report again.

"My lord, Cao Jun's hundreds of thousands of troops are coming over, and it seems that there are signs of a decisive battle with us."

"Hehe." Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "This Cao Ang's wings are hardened, so he can fight if he wants to, and send out all the scouts. We need specific information."

Tai Shici quickly went to make arrangements.

Two days later, Cao Ang officially issued the gauntlet.

The enemy's army of 110,000 challenged Zhang Yu, just forty miles away from the city.

With 110,000, Cao Jun came to support a buff army from Yanzhou. Even if he lost, it would have no effect on the overall situation, and Zhang Yu would not be able to defeat Yecheng.

"This is to make us stand up." Zhang Yu understood the other party's plan.

"It's okay if you don't fight. Whoever is afraid is the grandson."

Zhang Yu felt that this open challenge should not be avoided, and if the strength of the troops was equal, he would fight.

In fact, Zhang Yu had more than 110,000 troops, but this time he only planned to bring 110,000.

"Okay, let's fight them."

Zhang Yu made a decision, so he summoned several generals.

"In this battle, Wen Yuan will defend the city and serve as a backup. Han Sheng and Zi Yi will join me in the battle, and other young generals will also be dispatched. This kind of battle is exactly the time to temper them."

After a simple meeting, Zhang Yu ordered to reply to Cao Ang, and the decisive battle began in the morning two days later.

The scouts have dispersed for the past two days, mainly to monitor the surroundings to see if there are any ambushes.

It is impossible for Cao Ang to arrange an ambush. If Zhang Yu is arranged, he will naturally not appear, and perhaps he will not confront him directly.

On Cao Ang's side, he also sent several generals.

Five generals Zhang Xiu, Cao Ren, Zhang Jai, Xia Houdun, and Xia Houyuan, among them Cao Ren led his troops forty miles away to meet him.

In this way, the conditions of both parties are relatively equal.

There are 110,000 troops, and Cao Ang's side has 50,000 tiger and leopard riders. This time they are led by two Xiahou generals.

On Zhang Yu's side, the heavy cavalry is led by Huang Zhong and Huang Xu. Of course, Huang Xu and the other young generals are actually the positions of the generals below.

This time Zhang Yu has more than a dozen young generals under him, some of whom have experienced several wars.

At the appointed time, Zhang Yu set off early in the morning, and then rested for a long time ten miles away.

The armies of both sides slowly moved to the designated place, which was under the monitoring of the scouts of both sides, and there was no problem.

Before the war, the scouts of both sides came and went freely, and neither side would attack each other.

"My lord, the enemy army also has heavy cavalry. I have heard about it for a long time. Today we can finally fight." Huang Zhong said on the road.

"Okay, we are not afraid of this kind of confrontation. We formed an army early and have a solid foundation. Even if we are disabled, we can recover relatively quickly." Zhang Yu said.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, the footsteps are very heavy, and the soldiers are all wearing armor, and they can't see the end.

The army began to organize its formation five miles away from the battlefield, and Cao Ang's army also arrived at about the same time.

After the army arrived, the scouts left the field separately. If the scouts acted later, they could go to war.

Zhang Yu's armor is not in the middle, but on the left.

In the middle is the 50,000 heavy cavalry led by Huang Zhong.

On the right is Tai Shici.

Cao Ang was not in the middle, but was directly on the side.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, five miles apart, arrived on the battlefield.

Originally, he wanted to fight the general as usual, but Cao Jun rejected the general after some discussion.

Fighting generals, Zhang Yu and the others have great advantages, and several Cao generals have all been defeated.

Cao Ang stepped forward first, and then saluted Zhang Yu from a distance, "Bohai King, I am lucky to have a battle today, so happy."

Zhang Yu arched his hands and said, "It's great to be able to fight Cao Jun here."

What the two sides said is not nutritious at all.

Cao Ang retreated, and the two sides made final preparations.

Huang Zhong took the lead in this battle, and his army slowly marched out.

"Go forward bravely, and there is no retreat."

"Kill, kill, kill."

A simple sentence can motivate soldiers.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are an army with faith. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
