Chapter 353 Cao Ren arrives
Cao Chun was about to leave, and it was really not convenient for Zhang He to pursue them. After all, they had all the cavalry.

However, the other side was not easy either. Two thousand troops came over, but only a few hundred remained when they returned, and they were basically disabled.

"What are our losses?" Zhang He asked.

"The losses are not big, they are basically non-important items!" Tian Chou replied.

It must be said that Jushou was indeed foresight. He knew that Cao Cao was good at cutting off people's food routes, so he concentrated all the important supplies in the front and middle, and put the less important ones in the back.

In addition, the military's firefighting arrangements have always been implemented, so the losses were not serious, except for the loss of a batch of supplies.

However, if this batch of supplies is used as bait to eliminate the opponent's nearly two thousand cavalry, this deal is still a good deal.

Just as Jushou said before setting off, there is currently no shortage of supplies in the army.

The supplies are sufficient to support them until next fall!

"But if we can let the other party get close to us, we need to take warning!" Zhang He reminded.

Yang Lang shrank his head, saying that the things in the rear were not theirs. After all, Ye Bushou was all about exploring forward, and the exploration in the rear was left to ordinary scouts.

It can be said that Ye Bushou can perform the duties of a scout, but since its creation, this kind of army has not been purely used as a scout.

Zhang He also noticed Yang Lang's behavior and said that this guy was a little worried.

I mainly remind the captains of various departments, and by the way, the military princes below.

This time is a good lesson and a good experience.

If I can remember it, I won't say I can counterattack next time, at least I won't be so passive.

As he spoke, Cao Chun was already far away. He stopped in the distance and seemed to be taking a rest.

Beside him, an infantry group of about 2000 people was approaching.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the surprise attack, Cao Chun came over first.

After all, the scouts would come back and report immediately after discovering them.

If a surprise attack is to be successful, it must not give the enemy a chance to react.

It's just that the surprise attack was too short and caused some damage, but not much.

According to the normal process, it is difficult for normal baggage soldiers to resist them. There is a high probability that they will drive straight in and most of the baggage will be destroyed.

If there are no armor-piercing arrows, ordinary crossbows can cause very little damage. Of course, powerful crossbows will have some effect.

Cao Jun's side did not achieve the expected effect. Otherwise, if the follow-up infantry came over at this time, it would be just in time to further expand the results.

As a result, we can only slow down our pace, join forces with Cao Chun's troops, and then make plans.

"With less than three thousand soldiers, how dare you come to fight us?" Zhang He sneered.

There's nothing we can do if they run away, but since they won't leave, then don't leave at all!

"No, how come the other party only has three thousand?" Jushou frowned.

According to the intelligence, there are only six thousand Cao Cao troops stationed here in Pingyuan Kingdom.

As a result, there are only three or four thousand here, which is not enough.

"The opponent sped up in order to successfully attack, so there was a gap in the team. This is normal." Zhang He thought for a while and said.

"It's better to be cautious." Jushou reminded.

"That's right. If Cao Jun is not careful, it will easily overturn." Zhang He nodded.

Just from God's perspective, there is an army of about 2000 people in the back, coming this way.

Just because he 'saw' it, he was so sure of it just now.

However, it is only right to kill them first before the other party has fully joined forces.

As a result, before he could fight him, the other party hit him first.

The infantry led by General Cao began to advance.

After changing horses, Cao Chun also began to cruise around the outside, ready to charge at any time.It has to be said that Cao Chun's ability to command troops is indeed great. The casualties have reached this level, but he has not yet collapsed.

Of course, it will not collapse. After all, these are mostly township parties in Qiao County, and there are many descendants of Xiahou and Cao among them.

It is precisely because they are soldiers from the Cao family or the township party that the army is so united.

"So many were killed in battle?" Cao Ren looked at Cao Chun, this was his own younger brother.

He is indeed talented and has the results of his own recommendation. The problem is the two thousand heavy cavalry, but Cao Cao's greatest effort in the past two years has resulted in over a thousand casualties.

"The opponent has a strange crossbow arrow that can tear apart armor..." Cao Chun took out a few crossbow arrows. Although the one who hit them would die, occasionally they would get stuck, but he managed to get a few back.

Cao Ren took it over and looked at it. There was no difference in the arrow body, but the shape of the arrow was very strange, with obvious spiral ravines, and the overall arrow was conical.

Throwing it towards the sky, I also noticed that the arrow body would rotate.

"This thing is indeed a bit weird. Take it back to Meng De. If you can imitate it, it will be a great achievement!" Cao Ren immediately arranged for people to send the crossbow arrows back.

Regardless of the outcome of his battle, any new equipment from the enemy must be sent back as soon as possible.

This was what the military advisor specifically told him before he left.

This piece and He have been tinkering with strange things, either weapons of war or strange things.

These things are more or less of great use in war.

Let's just say that they defeated Zhao Yun before and discovered the method of making ice from saltpeter in their army.

Normally this thing is for enjoyment, but if you can use this method in summer, it can help you to cool down in the scorching heat, which will be of great help in summer combat.

Cao Cao knew that Zhang He was versatile, and it was a pity that such talents were not used by Cao Cao.

The problem is that most of the things he created can be copied, so he only needs to find samples and copy them.

I have to say that Cao Cao in this world may also be very optimistic about Guan Yu, but more attention is focused on Zhang He.

Just like readers who are waiting for updates, they read it immediately, not to mention that the author has updated it. I'm afraid they would like to lock the author in a dark room and update themselves every day. If they don't update to [-] or [-] words, they won't be able to eat.

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang and his troops, together with Pang De's troops, had already surrounded them.

Li Jingbu stayed, mainly because he didn't need so many people, and at the same time, he also needed someone to protect the baggage.

On the other hand, the heavy troops have already gone over one after another, taking back the spears from the battlefield and ready to continue fighting at any time.

As for those who were already injured, they were carried down for treatment.

If the spear was cut off, he would bring over the long sword of the cavalry. Anyway, this thing can stab people.

"Be careful, the other side's soldiers have almost no damage in battle." Cao Chun reminded, "Especially the army at the head, these weird crossbow arrows were shot by them."

"It's okay, just wait for Zi Ke." Cao Ren was not in a hurry. It would be best if the enemy troops came over to his side.

Having said that, Lu Qian's troops came over one after another.They are heavy infantry, so come slowly.

Seeing that Cao Ren and Cao Chun had already set up their formation, they naturally accelerated their pace and headed over as the vanguard.

When Cao Ren saw him coming, he couldn't help but give a few words of advice, mainly because of the power of this armor-piercing arrow.

"Don't worry, general, our tower shield is thickened!" Lu Qian said with a smile.

With an order, the first two rows of shield soldiers stepped forward.These shield soldiers have no weapons at all and advance slowly with shields in both hands.

The shield was thickened and enlarged, almost covering the whole body of the soldier.

The top of the shield is V-shaped, and the gap is left for the soldiers to watch the situation ahead and set up the crossbow.

There is a crossbow placed behind these shield soldiers, but their main duty is to use the tower shield to protect friendly forces.

 Driven out.
