Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 548 Deciding the Winner
When Wang Mang in Guanzhong convened a civil and military discussion, Yuan Shao in Jizhou also discussed countermeasures with his subordinates. Now Yuan Shao's limelight has been suppressed by Gao Cheng. The two were a little displeased, and forcibly suppressed their emotions and followed their opinions.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the feudal lords' fight against Dong, the world situation in this world became clear in the process of fighting one after another.Gao Cheng, Yuan Shao, and Wang Mang divided the world, and the remaining Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang and others had no chance to stand out before the defeat of the three major princes.

After Tian Feng explained the current situation to Yuan Shao, he immediately persuaded Yuan Shao to go south to attack Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou first, and occupy the Central Plains before Gao Cheng went north to the Central Plains.Especially in Xuzhou, after so many years of accumulation by Tao Qian, the food and military resources are extremely rich, as long as Xuzhou is won.Jizhou's strength can rise by at least [-]%.

……

The movement of the Yangzhou army from Jingzhou to the north made the princes of the world couldn't help but adjust their strategies accordingly.And Zhou Yu didn't have time to consider the actions of other princes at this time.He continued to command the army to stop Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was under great pressure.

"The speed of the opponent's cavalry has slowed down! Go up, don't give them a chance to penetrate our formation!" Zhou Yu kept yelling.At this time, the Chinese army came under the banner, except for him and the messengers, the other generals including Lu Dai personally led troops into battle to block the impact of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

boom!
The tiger and leopard cavalry slowed down after being blocked by the chariot, but even if the speed slowed down, they were still invincible and peerless sharp blades. Cao Ren took the lead and bombarded repeatedly with a long spear, commanding the cavalry under his command to criss-cross and intersect to block the front. The soldiers of Yangzhou were in a mess.

"The enemy generals are furious!"

At this time, accompanied by a roar, Lu Dai personally led the soldiers to rush up, and let out a strong energy to sweep away the dozen or so cavalry in front of him. The movements of dozens of cavalry around them, in just an instant, the momentum of the charge of the entire tiger and leopard cavalry slowed down a little.

Seeing this, Cao Ren immediately let go of a lieutenant of the Yangzhou Military Academy who was standing in front of him, and shouted sharply. The long spear in his hand, with a scorching red aura, thrust forward and formed a sharp edge that was more than ten feet long.
"Death to me!"

Cao Ren used all his strength in this move. He recognized Lu Dai's identity, and planned to forcibly kill Lu Dai, the general of Yangzhou, in a short time.

When Lu Dai died in battle, the morale of the Yangzhou army would be greatly reduced, which would most likely cause a chain reaction and cause the Yangzhou army to collapse.

When the Chinese army came under the banner, Zhou Yu also noticed the confrontation between Cao Ren and Lu Dai.However, he didn't care too much. After so many years of tempering, Lu Dai was already a seasoned gangster, and he would not be defeated so easily against Cao Ren.

"Dinggong confronted Cao Ren and Zhou Tai, but was blocked by Xia Houyuan, and the peerless general of the enemy army was blocked by Xu Chu...I didn't expect that Cao Cao had so many talents under his command!"

As time went by, Zhou Yu's mood gradually calmed down.Still thinking about the talent issue under Cao Cao's command.The longer the time passes, the better it will be for the Yangzhou Army.

No matter how brave the tiger and leopard riders are, they cannot maintain a long-term charging state.When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry stopped and charged, it was the time when Cao Jun was defeated.

……

Time passed by every minute and every second seemed like a long day to the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield, especially for Cao Cao.He stared intently at the battlefield ahead.

Dian Wei, whom he had high hopes for, kept releasing his tyrannical aura, but no matter how fast his moves were and how strong his aura was, he still couldn't break through a dull-faced general on the opposite side.

"Xu Chu from Qiao County!"

Cao Cao himself is a native of Qiao County, how could he not recognize Xu Chu's identity?He stared at Xu Chu's figure in the distance for a moment, and finally a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.

As a township party member, Cao Cao was sure to subdue Xu Chu.It's a pity that he was one step late... Just like sending troops south this time, he was also one step late in a hurry.

It seems that Gao Cheng is able to predict the future, every time he can get ahead of him and get huge benefits.When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.It's as if something that originally belonged to me has been snatched away abruptly.

But such a thought is just a flash in my heart, luck is also a kind of strength, the current situation can only be blamed on myself, and I can find the reason from myself.

boom!
When Cao Cao's thoughts were ups and downs, after the tiger and leopard cavalry broke through more than a dozen defense lines of the Yangzhou Army in a row, on the eve of being about to attack the Chinese Army's banner, the power of the horses was finally exhausted, and they could not move...

"Not good!" Cao Cao broke the whip in his hand with a snap, and couldn't help screaming.There was a trace of despair on his face.His chances of winning this decisive battle were not great. He was going to make a big gamble, but the result of the gamble plunged his heart into an abyss.

At the same time, Zhou Yu clapped his hands fiercely at the central banner of the Yangzhou Army, with a look of ecstasy on his face.Immediately order the messengers around him to send out the signal for the whole army to attack.

"kill!"

After seeing the banner of attack, Lu Dai and other generals raised their strength and roared loudly, their morale rose suddenly, and the strength on their arms seemed to increase by [-]% at this moment.Another burst of strength surged out of his tired body.

The morale is like a rainbow!

When both sides have peerless generals, and the strength of the generals is not far behind, the most basic soldiers played an absolute role.Hundreds of thousands of Yangzhou soldiers were charged and killed by tiger and leopard cavalry for a long time, and finally, with their own resilience, this powerful cavalry fell into the crowd.

"The general situation is gone! The general situation is gone!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao seemed to be ten years older in an instant, his face was very ugly, he seemed to be crying but not crying, half smiling and not smiling, and he lost the confidence he had at the beginning of the war.Seeing that the situation was not good at this time, Xia Houyuan immediately let go of his opponent, urged the wind attribute he had cultivated to the extreme, and soon came to Cao Cao's side.

"Now the army has not been completely defeated. After I come to stop, my lord, hurry up and retreat!" Xia Houyuan repeatedly shouted.

Cao Cao said bitterly, "Retreat? Once we retreat, how can we stand in the Central Plains?"

Xia Houyuan was not shocked by the defeat in front of him, and he still had a fighting spirit in his chest. He couldn't help shouting: "My lord, even if we can't gain a foothold in the Central Plains, we can go to other places to start again. Yanzhou still has nearly 20 troops. And those of us, wherever we go, we can build a foundation again..."

Xia Houyuan was not good at persuading. After he said a few words, beads of sweat appeared on his anxious face.

Cao Cao was disappointed for a moment, but when he heard Xia Houyuan's persuasion, he couldn't help cheering up his spirits and burst out laughing.He said loudly: "Miaocai, what you said is right, we haven't reached the end of the mountain yet!"

As expected of the peerless hero in the original timeline, he quickly accepted the result of defeat in the war, forcibly adjusted his mentality, and immediately ordered Cao Ren to bring the remaining tigers and leopards to break through.Let the other infantry that have not broken up stand in place and delay the pace of Yangzhou soldiers and horses as much as possible.
