I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 799 Differences between North and South
The Liaodong cavalry under Guan Ping are no ordinary people. They are elite soldiers who have been killing in the northern desert for many years!

Now Guan Ping ordered the Liaodong Cavalry to attack Dian Wei, and he was determined to take his life!
Soon, the Liaodong cavalry came to Dian Wei on horseback. In their hands were fine iron spears made by craftsmen organized by the Hebei Armory. Both the quality of the iron and the workmanship were top-notch in the entire Han Dynasty.

These elite cavalrymen rushed to Dian Wei and the Cao army soldiers around him!

They waved their spears and charged at the group of soldiers around Dian Wei!
Soon, the Cao army's tiger soldiers around Dian Wei were seen lying on the ground one after another. Some of them didn't even have time to scream. They just lay on the ground covering their wounds. After floundering twice, they died.

Soon, all the soldiers around Dian Wei were wiped out, and except for himself, not a single person was left alive.

Dian Wei himself was covered in blood and standing there panting. His eyes as big as copper bells glanced back and forth at the Liaodong cavalry that were circling around him nearby.

The tactics of these cavalrymen were very annoying. They were not in a hurry to rush forward, but just surrounded Dian Wei, looking for a gap to stab Dian Wei with their spears, and then immediately retreated. It was like a pack of wolves trapping a brown bear. They did not fight it head-on, but used their advantages in numbers and speed to harass it constantly, consuming the opponent's physical and mental strength.

Dian Wei was spinning in circles like crazy. He was harassed by these cavalrymen and his injuries were getting worse. He was breathing heavily and seemed to no longer feel the pain from his wounds, but the feeling of dizziness was becoming more and more obvious.

Soon, a long spear pierced Dian Wei's calf. Dian Wei let out a cry of pain, then fell to one knee. The iron halberd in his hand slipped to the side. He howled to the sky and shouted in pain.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the Liaodong knight on a warhorse next to him, and pulled him off the horse with force.

The cavalryman cried out and waved his hand to hit Dian Wei, but he was thrown to the ground effortlessly by him!
Seeing this, another Liaodong knight stabbed at Dian Wei from behind with a spear in hand, but Dian Wei seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He slightly tilted his huge body, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the spear, shouting, "Get down!"

The guard was immediately horrified.

Caught off guard, Dian Wei grabbed him along with his gun and he fell off his horse!

Dian Wei used his inch force to grab the cavalryman with one hand, and then grabbed another cavalryman with his other hand, using the two men as a pair of iron halberds. He gritted his teeth and stood up. His legs were still bleeding, but he still swung the two men in his hands hard to smash the cavalrymen who were rushing over to stab him.

Even though the Liaodong cavalry had been roaming the frontier for many years and had seen countless ferocious foreigners, this was the first time they had seen a warrior like Dian Wei.

Many people were so frightened that their faces turned pale!
This big guy is simply a monster!

Dian Wei was wielding two living people as weapons, shocking everyone on the scene.

But he was ultimately at the end of his strength, and after swinging his fists for several circles, he finally fell to the ground helplessly.

The body is completely exhausted.

At this moment, Dian Wei had become a bloody man. He had lost too much blood and was dizzy. The swinging of a living person just now had also consumed his last bit of strength.

Even if we don't take care of Dian Wei now, I'm afraid he won't live long.

After a brief moment of shock, the Liaodong cavalrymen on the side gradually reacted.

The knights rushed towards Dian Wei with a roar, and seven or eight spears quickly stabbed at Dian Wei.

This reckless man is so scary, we must kill him quickly!

But now Dian Wei is simply unable to dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as the spears pierced into his body.

Not long after, Guan Ping and others led their troops to Dian Wei, who had been stabbed like a hornet's nest.

Looking at the warrior who had died in the blood, Guan Ping nodded slightly towards Dian Wei's body as a tribute to Dian Wei.

"Alas, the Han Dynasty has lost too many warriors due to the civil war... It's time to stop."

……

After Cao's front-line troops were defeated, most of the soldiers began to rush towards the south bank.

Guan Yu had already prepared many warships along the river for crossing the river. Now the soldiers of Ma Chao, Guan Ping and others gathered together and used these warships to cross the river and launch an attack on Zhou Yu's camp in the south.

Logically speaking, it is a good thing for Zhou Yu that the Northern Army is now boarding ships and heading south.

Because on the water, Zhou Yu would definitely not be afraid of Guan Yu's army.

Water battles can be said to be Zhou Yu’s home court!
But unfortunately, Zhou Yu now did not have time to engage in a decisive battle with the northern army on the river.

Because Zhang Fei's march towards his camp was too fast, half of the army under Zhang Fei's command had already landed and was marching towards Zhou Yu's camp.

If Zhang Fei succeeded, it would be equivalent to completely cutting off Zhou Yu's retreat route. At that time, he would have no choice but to be attacked from both sides on the river by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which Zhou Yu would never allow.

Zhou Yu led his troops back to defend and arrived at the south bank after Zhang Fei. However, unexpectedly, after landing, Zhang Fei did not immediately send archers to guard the river and confront Zhou Yu on the riverside. Instead, he moved his troops inland and headed straight for Zhou Yu's camp, exposing his north to Zhou Yu.

Zhang Fei knew that there were many archers on the river. If Zhou Yu asked his navy to shoot at him on the shore, the losses would be huge.

The Southern Army is good at naval battles, and the power of their bows and crossbows may not be inferior to ours.

Zhang Fei inherited Liu Jian's idea - the Han Dynasty had many troops and many people, but every one of them was more precious! Soldiers could sacrifice, which was inevitable in war... but they could not make unnecessary sacrifices. Behind every soldier, perhaps the fate of a family was carried, which was what Liu Jian had told Zhang Fei.

Therefore, Zhang Fei was not in a hurry to fight with Zhou Yu. He just asked his soldiers to be patient and move inland. He was determined to lure Zhou Yu to the shore.

In fact, with Zhou Yu's wisdom, he vaguely knew what Zhang Fei wanted to do, but the current situation and circumstances had forced him to be led by Zhang Fei.

Soon, Zhou Yu came ashore.

At this moment, Zhang Fei's army was attacking Zhou Yu's main camp. Zhou Yu immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead his most elite soldiers to attack Zhang Fei's main camp.

Xu Chu didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Commander-in-chief, shouldn't we rescue the camp first? Why are we attacking Zhang Fei's main camp?"

Zhou Yu said anxiously, "It doesn't matter if the camp is lost. The worst that can happen is that we lose some property. It's not a big deal! But if Zhang Fei is not eliminated, we will eventually be trapped here and die. Now we should take advantage of his inability to react and capture Zhang Fei in one fell swoop. Then we can fight Guan Yu and have a chance of winning. Otherwise, we will be attacked from both sides and will be captured by Fei!"

Xu Chu still had great trust in Zhou Yu. Without saying a word, he rode his horse and led his troops towards Zhang Fei's main camp.

It’s a pity that Zhang Fei is now the top general of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Fei can think of everything that Zhou Yu can think of.

Zhang Fei, who had long been accustomed to considering things from the perspective of his opponent, quickly figured out where Zhou Yu's chance of winning lay.

This chance of victory lies in himself. Only by killing himself or capturing himself alive in the chaos can Zhou Yu have a chance to turn the tables in this battle.

Therefore, Zhang Fei made arrangements to deal with this situation.

He brought Pound with him just to prevent this kind of situation.

Zhang Fei personally organized the soldiers to attack Zhou Yu's camp, while in the rear he sent Pang De to lead the Xiliang cavalry, quietly waiting for the raiders sent by Zhou Yu.

As expected, Xu Chu led his elite troops to launch a surprise attack on Zhang Fei's main camp.

But he ran into Pound's army which had been waiting for him.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind Pang De were Zhang Fei's most elite soldiers in the Liangzhou army.

Zhang Fei equipped them with the best war horses from Liang Province. At the same time, the people riding these war horses were also the most elite warriors in Liang Province, and could be said to be the elite among the elite.

Not only were these soldiers equipped with newly crafted spears and golden armor from Liangzhou, but even their war horses were fitted with vests covering a certain area.

If it were the case in the past, considering the annual iron production of the Han Dynasty, it would be a fantasy to be able to cover the war horses with vests.

The army doesn’t even have enough armor, let alone war horses.
But now, under Liu Jian's governance, the north is very different from what it was before.

The output of wrought iron has increased several times in recent years, and the popularity of ironware among the people has reached an unprecedented level.

Under such circumstances, vests began to be tried among the most elite troops, but of course they were limited to the most elite few cavalrymen.

The cavalry with vests has a greatly improved defense capability.

Of course, the armor for the warhorse does not cover the entire body of the warhorse, but only ties armor to some vital parts. But even so, it is enough to conquer the world.

In particular, the defense against archers will be greatly enhanced.

When these armored monsters appeared in front of Xu Chu, this rough man born in Yuzhou was a little confused.

These cavalrymen in the north...are they all monsters like this?
If this is true, how can our army have any chance of winning?

Xu Chu was not the only one who had such an idea. The elite Cao troops who followed him and were preparing to raid Zhang Fei's camp also panicked after seeing the cavalry led by Pang De.

This is a scene that has never been seen in the South!
However, before they could react, they saw the cavalry under Pang De shouting and rushing towards Xu Chu and his group.

Those heavily armored cavalrymen and the Xiliang divine horses wearing vests slammed into Xu Chu's army like tanks.

These ancient tanks smashed the opposing army into pieces in an instant.

The troops under Xu Chu's command could be said to be the elite of Cao Cao's army, but in front of these heavy cavalry, they could not even last a single round.

The enemy only charged once and broke through his army formation.

Not to mention a surprise attack on Zhang Fei, it is hard to say whether he can gather his own soldiers.

"Don't make a mess! Don't make a mess!"

Xu Chu shouted at the soldiers with all his might.

But everything was out of control. The Cao army soldiers were already terrified when facing the enemy's attack. They fled in all directions and did not care about Xu Chu's shouts.
