Cao Cao's chef

Chapter 801 Unkillable Heavy Cavalry
Zhang Yang in Huai County also panicked at this moment. He never thought that Cao Cao would go north to attack Hanoi County.It was three years ago that he had to compromise with Yuan Shao and was 'driven' here to serve as the prefect of Hanoi.

Obviously, his foundation is not solid, and even military expenditures are not sufficient.Therefore, only [-] soldiers and horses can be raised, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.It's just that compared with cavalry, infantry is like farmers with weapons.

"I can't fight, I can't fight at all. Cao Cao dispatched 5000 infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] elites to attack my [-] men... Isn't this bullying?" Zhang Yang has already given up on himself.

"General, now that the enemy army is approaching the city, they are camping twenty miles away. It is estimated that they will attack the city tomorrow, so we have to make early plans!" Zhang Yang's subordinate Sui Gu stepped forward to advise.

He was originally a Black Mountain bandit, but he couldn't compete with Zhang Yan, so he led the remnants to join Zhang Yang. Among Zhang Yang's two thousand soldiers, the six hundred elite were Sui Gu's original troops.

Seeing that Zhang Yang might be defeated at any time, he was a little anxious.Lao Tzu came here to take refuge, and originally planned to find an opportunity to occupy this Hanoi, but before he could make a move, Cao Cao came to make a move.

It's just that Cao Jun was approaching the city, and he had to share the same hatred with Zhang Yang, just because he was worried that his lips would die and his teeth would be cold.

"Plan, what plan can I have?" Zhang Yang was also panicked, "Even if I send someone to Yuan Shao for help now, she will send troops over, it is estimated that Huai County has fallen. The only thing I can count on now is the three thousand from Shegou. The cavalry unit, as well as my last hole card, can come tomorrow, and at the same time, we can disperse Cao's army!"

In troubled times, who doesn't have a few trump cards?Cao Cao even had tiger and leopard cavalry, and at the same time secretly asked Chen Dao to form a heavy infantry according to the camp, which was only known to a few people.Zhang Yang has occupied this place for so long, how can he not have a trump card?
At the same time, in the barracks on Shegou's side, Yang Chou has already summoned his troops to rescue Zhang Yang.

In fact, she looks down on Zhang Yang a little bit. After all, she is a coward with no aggressive ambitions. She just wants to be a local emperor with peace of mind. But in this troubled world, who will give you peace and stability?
In the past, Cao Cao didn't even go north, because he felt that Hanoi could be recovered at any time.Yuan Shao chose to go all the way to Hanoi because he liked Zhang Yang's character.Having Hanoi as a buffer is a good thing for both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But now that the two are bound to go to war, there is no need to leave this buffer zone.Even whoever captures here is like a thorn in the back, making the opponent have to worry.

In other words, Zhang Yang must be finished, but Yang Chou doesn't really want to be buried with him.It's just that she looked back at a certain army behind her. This army of 1000 people should not be underestimated.If she hadn't been worried about this army, she would have taken the three thousand cavalry and went directly to Cao Ang, maybe she could still be a school lieutenant or a general in the imperial court...

"Fight first, fight if you can win, and surrender if you can't!" Yang Chou gritted his teeth and made a decision.

The next day, the army set out, three thousand cavalrymen, carrying one thousand aces, marched towards Huai County.When they came to the front of the formation, not only the siege equipment was ready, but Cao Ang was about to launch an attack.

"Report, in the northwest direction, a cavalry unit is heading towards our army!" The scout reported immediately, before Yang Chou even got close to the front of the formation.

"General Cao Xiu!" Cao Ang immediately looked at Cao Xiu who was standing by. There was really no room for the siege cavalry.

"Deling! Change horses for the whole army!" Cao Xiu had been waiting for a long time, and Deling gave an order immediately, and then dismounted and changed to armored horses.At the same time, three thousand auxiliary soldiers stepped forward, worked on the horses, and then led the horses back, so as not to get in the way.

Why is it difficult to raise cavalry? A truly qualified cavalry is generally equipped with three horses.Charge horses, spare horses, and horses for transportation.Since there are two more horses, one or two grooms are naturally needed to take care of them.Counting the part of people eating horse chews, the consumption of one cavalry can be equal to the consumption of fifty soldiers.

It must be admitted that on the battlefield, [-] cavalry can crush [-] infantry, unless it is an elite that specializes in restraining cavalry like Mo Daobing.

"Charge!" The enemy has already appeared on the horizon, but for some reason, the speed is not fast.Cao Xiu didn't care about it, he gave the order immediately, and the large army immediately launched a charge.

Charging is not accomplished overnight. It needs to change the buffer of about tens of meters and increase the speed before charging.At present, the distance between the two sides is 500 meters, and this time is the charging distance.

"Go forward!" Yang Chou seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Seeing this, he waved his hand, and the cavalry troops immediately dispersed, turned back, and then assembled to prepare for the charge.

After the cavalry dispersed, an army of more than a thousand men appeared in front of Cao Xiu. This is a strong crossbowman!

At the beginning Zhang Yang went north to recruit soldiers according to He Jin's intention. He Jin also had high hopes and allocated him a thousand pairs of rhubarb crossbows.Zhang Yang is controlled by the personal guards. Although he is under Yang Chou's command, it is also the so-called monitoring. After all, three thousand cavalry is his painstaking effort. If Yang Chou pats his ass and runs away with these cavalry, where will he cry?
A thousand crossbowmen immediately took up their posture, and the opponent was less than 200 meters away from him. At this time, it was too late for Cao Xiu to stop charging.So he had no choice but to charge forward, leaving the rest to the armor.

"Charge!" Cao Xiu shouted, instead of slowing down, he accelerated.The soldiers behind him obviously understood what the officer meant, and they all followed him to charge.

"Shoot!" The captain in command of the crossbow shouted, and a thousand shots of the crossbow immediately fell into Cao Jun's position.At the same time, the crossbowmen dispersed immediately to prepare for the cavalry charge.

These thousand crossbow arrows passed, and ordinary cavalry would have killed at least hundreds of people.But Yang Chou was facing heavy cavalry, so the casualties were slightly reduced. After the continuous resistance of the armor plate, although many crossbow arrows penetrated the armor plate and hit the soldiers behind the armor plate, it was amazing that none of them When soldiers fall, they lie forward or backward at most.

Of the two thousand heavy cavalry, none of them fell off their horses, even the dozens of soldiers in front almost became hedgehogs!
"When did the rhubarb crossbow become so bad that it couldn't kill the opponent?" Yang Chou directly denied this thought as soon as it flashed through his mind.Under such high-intensity shooting, it is impossible to survive!

"Charge, charge!" It's just that she has no way to hesitate, so she can only lead the army to charge.Crossbow Arrow couldn't make the opponent stop, but at least it slowed down the opponent a little.It's just that no cavalrymen fell off their horses, so there was no significant deceleration. It can be said that she almost suffered a loss in this charge.

It's just that she had no choice but to lead the army to charge. When the two sides were less than 100 meters away, she understood the truth.It turned out that these Cao soldiers actually tied themselves to the horses with special leather buckles, even if they died, they would not fall off easily.

"Stop, stop!" Yang Chou was heartbroken, "I surrender, I surrender, don't rush! Stop!"

　Yesterday, I originally wrote about Wang Kuang, but later found out that Wang Kuang probably died around 192, so I temporarily changed it to Zhang Yang... At that time, I had already written 2000 words, but I deleted and rewritten all of them because of this. ...
