Chapter 891 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Assault!

After Yu Jin gave the order, the Yanzhou army moved quickly. The Chinese army, which had been arrayed behind, began to advance slowly. They joined forces with the two thousand sharp soldiers led by Sun Li and launched a fierce attack on Xia Houyuan's tribe. At this time, the two troops on the left and right who had just pretended to retreat came together again, and gathered towards the rear of Xia Houyuan's army. It was like the five fingers of a palm suddenly pinching together to chase and intercept Xia Houyuan.

At the same time, five thousand soldiers and horses were separated from the front army and formed a circular formation that was conducive to defense. They were ready to prepare for the possible attack of Cao's army.

"Prime Minister! Miaocai was surrounded by enemy troops, and the general requested to fight!" Cao Chun hurriedly asked Cao Cao for orders.

Cao Cao nodded slowly, waved his hand and said, "Yes."

Cao Chun was overjoyed and turned back to Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen: "Wen Lie, Zi Dan, prepare to fight!"

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen said excitedly: "Here!"

There are only a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry in total. The tiger cavalry are 300 heavy cavalry equipped with armor, while the leopard cavalry wearing leather armor and running long distances has 700 people. Almost every one of them has the strength of a hundred-man general. Carefully selected from one hundred thousand Cao's troops.

Precisely because of the importance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, even with Cao Cao's courage, he would not dare to hand over this troop to a general with a foreign surname.

The three commanders of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all members of the old Cao family. Cao Chun is Cao Cao's younger brother. Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are both Cao Cao's adopted sons and have a close relationship.

Cao Chun drew his sword out of its sheath, looked at the sharp and eager eyes, and couldn't help but shouted: "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, attack!"

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, attack!"

Roar!

Although there were only a thousand people, these thousand tiger and leopard cavalry almost erupted with a prestige no less than that of an army of ten thousand people, which really shocked the battlefield.

"Wen Lieru leads three hundred tigers in front and rushes straight into the enemy's formation!"

"Zi Danru led seven hundred leopard cavalry behind Wen Lie. When the tiger cavalry tore through the enemy's formation, he led the leopard cavalry to completely break through the enemy's formation!" Cao Chun ordered.

Cao Xiu nodded, held a double-headed spear, and shouted sternly: "Tiger Cavalry, follow me forward and attack the enemy!"

"Roar!"

The three hundred tiger cavalry let out an inexplicable roar of excitement, and there was a smell of blood in their eyes. They gently stretched out their hands and pulled off the iron mask on their helmets, revealing only two eyes, shining brightly.

These three hundred tiger riders are all wearing armor and riding equipment made of all iron. Originally, only their hands and a face were exposed. There was even an iron neck to protect the neck. Now the iron face has been pulled down. , his entire face was immediately covered, with only two eyes exposed. He was really armed to the teeth, like three hundred iron men.

Tap tap tap!

Cao Xiu led three hundred tiger cavalry to kill suddenly. Although there were only three hundred cavalry, they galloped with great momentum, just like three thousand cavalry.

"Is this a riding equipment?"

The five thousand Yanzhou troops arrayed on the spot couldn't help but froze in place when they saw the three hundred tiger cavalry attacking.

The Xiliang army has armor and riding equipment, which were made from full-body iron armor that Liu Ye specially took out from the arsenal of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The charging formation of armored cavalry equipment was truly earth-shaking and left an indelible impression on people. Now that I saw these three hundred iron men, I was naturally shocked.

At this time, three hundred tiger cavalry were already charging forward with an indomitable momentum, killing them brazenly.

boom!

"kill!"

Almost all of the three hundred tiger cavalry were born as generals, and all of them were proficient in martial arts. They all held long horse poles in their hands, and they stabbed out from a distance.

"ah!"

I saw a tiger and leopard rider's eyes flashing with cold light, his hands suddenly thrust forward, and the sharp three-edged armor-piercing awl on the horse's head stabbed out, easily breaking the armor of a Yanzhou soldier and piercing it. The flesh was broken into, and blood spilled out.

The Yanzhou soldiers who were hit directly by three hundred tiger cavalry were even worse. These war horses were also covered in battle armor and rushed like a tank. The Yanzhou soldiers who were hit only felt a powerful surge. When it hit, the whole person immediately jumped backwards.

Click!

The heavy horse hoof stepped hard on Yanzhou Bing's chest. Yanzhou Bing's eyes suddenly widened, his chest suddenly sunk, and then the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.

However, a mere three hundred tiger cavalry rushed into the formation of 5,000 Yanzhou troops. They broke through the formation of 5,000 Yanzhou troops with ease. No one could stop the charge of this heavy cavalry!

"Form up a formation and resist, form a formation and resist!"

The former army commander shouted desperately and ordered the former army to form a formation to resist the enemy. However, it was the first time for these Yanzhou troops to face the charge of armored cavalry. Everyone was almost stunned. They just responded to the battle based on instinct. They did not expect to form a formation to resist, so the enemy's formation was almost penetrated at once.

"Follow the tiger cavalry and expand the victory. Come to me, hurry up!"

Although Cao Zhen was young, he was proficient in strategy. Seeing that Cao Xiu had led the tiger cavalry to open up the enemy's formation, he immediately led the leopard cavalry to follow the tiger cavalry and charge forward to kill them.

Although the Tiger Cavalry is fierce, there are only three hundred people after all. Therefore, although they can easily cut a bloody path, these Yanzhou soldiers will soon gather together. At this moment, Cao Zhen's Leopard Cavalry suddenly arrived and followed the bloody path opened by the Tiger Cavalry and killed them.

"ah!"

The sharp sword gently sliced ​​open the Yanzhou Army's armor and skin, and blood suddenly surged out.

Almost all the three hundred tiger cavalry are from the Hundred-Man Generals, and the same is true for the seven hundred leopard cavalry! Unlike ordinary soldiers, they were proficient in martial arts and had basic command abilities. They were able to judge the battlefield situation and kill at the enemy's weak points, thus killing the Yanzhou army in a bloody manner.

The military formation of only 5,000 people was easily cut through by the tiger and leopard cavalry, cutting a bloody path, surrounded by the corpses of Yanzhou soldiers lying on the ground bleeding.

At this moment, Cao Jun's large army also surged up, and in an instant, all 5,000 Yanzhou troops were submerged.

Under normal circumstances, although these 5,000 Yanzhou troops would not be able to defeat 20,000 Cao troops, at least there would be no problem in resisting. But at this moment, these five thousand people were forcefully pierced through the formation by the tiger and leopard cavalry. They were in a state of shock. They suddenly fought with Cao's army, and they immediately fell into a situation where they were fighting on their own.

The 20,000 Cao troops relied on their numerical advantage to surround the 5,000 Yanzhou troops and intercepted them in all directions. Each Yanzhou soldier suddenly fell into a pool of blood.

"Prime Minister, although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are brave, there are only a thousand people in total, and the Tiger Cavalry only has three hundred people. Are they still capable of continuing to charge into the formation?" Cheng Yu asked worriedly.

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Zhongde, don't worry. In order to form the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, I actually paid a lot, don't worry."
