My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind, Xu Shu hurriedly said: "If I have to guess correctly, crossing the Yellow River, our army is very likely to be wiped out!" "

Even then, I can lead the army out of the encirclement!" Lu Bu looked very proud.

"The lord handed over the army to the general, and the general can't be so bad!"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he stood up, "What did you say?"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jaw hurriedly came to the middle of the two, "Aren't you discussing countermeasures now?" Why be angry!

Lu Bu sat down angrily, and Xu Shu frowned and insisted: "I must be responsible for the safety of the army!" I don't agree to cross the Yellow River!

Lu Bu was about to have another seizure, and he hurriedly persuaded Lu Bu with his open jaw, and then said, "It's better to be like this." The main force of our army of 80,000 crossed the river, and the remaining 40,000 remained on the north bank, thinking that it would be connected. "

It seems like a good idea.

Lu Bu nodded after a moment's thought, and turned his head to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu showed a thoughtful expression, and nodded after a while. Xu Shu was not too sure of his judgment, if the situation was not what he guessed, wouldn't he have to delay the fighter; Moreover, leaving 40,000 on the north shore to be responsible for the response should be safe.

Seeing that Xu Shu finally nodded, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile, and then ordered: "Since the military advisor has no opinion, then it's decided." Zhang Jaw, you led eight battalions of the left and right armies to stay in the big camp on the north bank, Ma Chao, you led 30,000 foot soldiers to attack Jiyin, and I personally led 50,000 people to attack Yanzhou. Zhang

Jaw and Ma Chao received orders respectively.

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said: "I'll follow Fengxian around." Xu Shu really didn't worry about Lu Bu leading the army alone.

Regarding Xu Shu's decision, Lu Bu has no opinion.

Immediately the order was handed down, and the entire battalion was running at high speed like a sophisticated machine.

Lü Bu, Ma Chao, and Xu Shu led an army of 80,000 to cross the Yellow River through a pontoon bridge, and at the same time Zhang Jaw ordered the soldiers to strengthen the camp to defend the offensive, and sent a large number of scouts to the east and west along the Yellow River to reconnoitre.

The army came to the White Horse City, and at this time, the city gate had been opened, and the officials of Cao Cao's faction here were holding the seal letter to greet them at the gate. Whitehorse City surrendered without a fight.

After the army took White Horse City, Xu Shu proposed to send 10,000 soldiers to stay here, and Lu Bu felt that the troops were enough, so he accepted Xu Shu's suggestion. The general who stayed behind in Baima was Zeng Gang, Lu Bu's deputy general, this person was about thirty years old, not very burly, but he had good martial arts and was very cautious. Xu Shu chose him as the general who stayed behind on the white horse for a purpose.

After a short rest in Baima, the army divided its troops into two routes and drove to Jiyin and Yanzhou respectively. Before leaving, Xu Shu carefully instructed Zeng Gang.

Ma Chao led 30,000 foot soldiers along the official road to Jiyin County. The journey went smoothly until the army came to a low hill only twenty miles from Jiyin.

Ma Chao squinted at the surrounding terrain, and the low hills were undulating, giving people a lonely and gloomy feeling. A feeling of palpitations rising in my heart for no reason. Slightly frowned.

Suddenly, a flock of birds rose in the woods on the hill in front of him, and Ma Chao's heart suddenly sounded.

"Stop the march of the whole army and go up the hill on the left!" Ma Chao ordered urgently.

Although the soldiers did not understand why Ma Chao gave such an order, they did not hesitate to carry out the order. The army stopped and quickly ascended the hill on the left under the leadership of the generals of the various divisions.

At this moment, not far ahead, there was a sudden surge of flags and a sound of killing, and countless Cao soldiers poured out like black waves.

The military advisor is right!

More than 10,000 cavalry of Cao's army rushed to the front, and the leading general made a big sword, which was Cao Hong.

Cao Hong led more than 10,000 cavalry to rush straight towards Ma Chao, apparently intending to disperse the Northern Army before it completed its defensive circle.

If Cao Hong's cavalry could not be stopped, the situation of the northern army would be very dangerous.

Ma Chao turned the horse's head with the reins of the horse, raised the dragoon spear and said loudly: "All the cavalry will fight with me!" Ma Yue, step up your defenses! Ma Yue in Ma Chao's mouth is Ma Chao's deputy general, although his surname is Ma, he has nothing to do with Ma Chao, he has always been a general in the Northern Army.

Ma Chao let out a long roar, urging the Peerless War Horse to take the lead in meeting the cavalry torrent of Cao Jun, and the iron hooves were rolling behind him, and nearly 3,000 horsemen followed. These 3,000 cavalry are the elite cavalry under Ma Chao.

The two cavalry marched against each other, like two raging waves. All the soldiers held their swords high, shouted loudly, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves really gave people a shocking feeling of the sky falling apart.

In the blink of an eye, the two torrents collided and stirred together, accompanied by shouts and screams, only to see a group of people turning on their backs.

Ma Chao took the lead, the Shadow War Horse galloped proudly, the dragoon spear slashed left and right, and everywhere he passed, no one was invincible.

These elite cavalry under Ma Chao's command were extremely strong in combat and had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Cao cavalry, but due to the large number of Cao cavalry, the cavalry of the two sides were mixed together and could not hold each other for a while.

Ma Chao, who was in the army of 10,000 horses, noticed Cao Hong, who was leading the army, and immediately went straight to Cao Hong. Along the way, no one can stop him for a moment.

Cao Hong was shocked when he saw that the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army was so strong, and suddenly saw a general of the Northern Expeditionary Army galloping forward, unstoppable, and his heart was even more shocked.

hurriedly commanded the two captains around him to meet the battle, and he followed behind, looking for opportunities.

Ma Chao passed between the two captains like a flash of lightning, and the dragoon spear pulled up two lightning bolts. Immediately, blood burst out, and before the two captains could scream, they fell from their horses.

Cao Hong was horrified in his heart, and quickly turned his horse's head and fled.

Ma Chao did not pursue, because the infantry of the Cao army brigade had already surrounded him.

He was being fought and retreated by the cavalry, and finally broke away from contact with the cavalry of Cao's army and returned to the mountain bag.

Although the battle just now was short, it was very fierce, and the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Army lost nearly 1,000 people, and the Cao army also paid the price of more than 2,000 people. Cao's plan to break up the northern army was not achieved.

When Ma Chao returned to the mountain bag, Ma Yue led the infantry to basically arrange the ring defense circle. The horses were placed on the outermost periphery, followed by heavy shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and horizontal sword warriors.

The main force of Cao's infantry army quickly surrounded the mountain and stopped three hundred paces away.

Ma Chao immediately stood on a high place, looking at Cao Jun, who was as dense as a military ant at the bottom of the mountain, and frowned. Ma Chao estimated the number of Cao Jun, which was 70,000.

You have to find a way to break through!

Cao Jun paused for a moment, the war drums suddenly beat, and tens of thousands of Cao troops shouted in unison. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army couldn't help frowning slightly.

Immediately, 10,000 Cao army foot soldiers broke out of the main formation and came towards the mountain bag, the speed of the march was not fast, and the shield hand was at the front.

When Cao's army marched to a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the northern army began to release arrows. The rain of arrows drew an arc in the air. Then there was a sound like a rain shower, the sound of arrows hitting the shield.

Some of the arrows hit the shield, and the other part fell behind Cao's army because of the slope of the hillside, and it had no effect, and only a few arrows saw blood.

Ma Chao frowned, the bow and crossbow were difficult to have an effect, so he could only rely on hand-to-hand combat to resist Cao Jun's attack!

Since it was difficult for the crossbowmen to play a role, Ma Chao simply transferred the crossbowmen to the back.

About a quarter of an hour later, Cao Jun rushed up the hill and roared excitedly, but they were greeted by a formation of hedgehog-like halberds.

Cao Jun relied on his shield to form a wall and squeezed forward, and the halberd soldiers of the Northern Army roared and raised their halberds against Cao Jun's shield. The two sides were like two rival Hercules.

Suddenly, with a bang, a halberd pierced one of Cao Jun's shields, and immediately stabbed Cao Jun behind him to the core; Almost at the same time, there was a click, it turned out to be a halberd due to excessive force suddenly broken into two, the halberd soldier lost his focus, the whole person rushed forward, crashed into the opponent's shield, before he could react, the knife hand behind the shield stabbed out from the gap between the shields, and the result was the life of the halberd soldier.

The soldiers of the two sides were in a stalemate like this for a moment, and Ma Chao ordered the sword and shield men to attack Cao's army from both sides.

The Cao army was obviously prepared for this, and the same sword and shield men fought with the sword and shield men of the northern army on both flanks. The sonorous sound of the blades clashing was loud.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, another Cao army came up from the bottom of the mountain. This Cao army is also about 10,000 people.

Ma Chao had no choice but to lead the elite cavalry to kill this Cao army. The war horses charged down the hillside, and the momentum was like a flash flood. However, Cao's army had long been prepared for the cavalry charge of the Northern Army. The infantry line came to a halt, with the pikemen at the front, while at the same time, six thousand Cao cavalry outflanked Ma Chao's elite cavalry on the left and right.

A great battle was tragic and short, and after paying the price of most of the casualties, the elite cavalry under the command of Ma Chao simply routed the infantry army in front of the Cao army before the cavalry arrived.

The remaining 800 elite horsemen returned to the formation, and everyone was covered in blood.

At this time, the 10,000 Cao troops who were attacking the camp of the northern army retreated. The retreat was very orderly, and Ma Chao had no chance at all.

As the sun set, Ma Chao looked at the Cao army under the mountain, and then looked at the eight hundred cavalry around him, and his heart sank.

Ma Chao didn't know at this moment that he was not the only force ambushed by Cao's army. Hundreds of miles away in Yecheng, 200,000 Cao troops have besieged Yecheng, and the tragic siege has lasted for a day, and both sides have paid a considerable price.

The two generals stood on the tower of the city gate, looking at the Cao army outside the city that receded like a tide, with a heavy heart.

"General Gao Lan, how can there be so many Cao troops to besiege us? Could it be that General Lu and their side have an accident? It was Gao Shun who spoke, his face was full of anxiety, and beside him was Gao Lan, who was in charge of guarding Yecheng.

Gao Ran shook his head, and then asked, "Have the carrier pigeons been released?"

"It's all out."

Gao Ran nodded, and then said in a low voice: "I hope General Lu and they are okay!" Then

he said to Gao Shun: "How many people are gathered in the prime of life in the city?"

"There are about 20,000 people." Gao Shun replied, and then showed hesitation.

"General Gao Shun, do you have any questions?" Gao Ran noticed Gao Shun's expression and asked.

"It's against the purpose of the lord to do this, it's not good!" Gao Shun was a little worried.
