The chase battle continues. The tiger and leopard cavalry and the gentleman army, which are basically equal in strength, each raise their hooves and start a life-and-death cavalry and shooting battle on the snowy land of Runan. They use handheld guns with slow reloading but ultra-long range to each other.

The powerful crossbows fired at each other. The short and powerful crossbow arrows drew straight trajectories between the two armies, roaring into the queues of both sides. From time to time, there were splashes of blood, and from time to time, cavalrymen screamed and fell off their horses.

, fell to the snow with blood, and was immediately trampled into pulp by the horse hooves of the enemy or companions. The dying screams echoed on the snow, which was unbearable to hear.

Although Cao Chun made a smart choice without any teacher, he arranged the tiger and leopard cavalry to use crossbows to suppress the Junzi Army's cavalry and archery tactics, forcing the Junzi Army to fight back with powerful crossbows of equal range, limiting the power of the Junzi Army's bows and arrows.

, but after a short period of time, Cao Chun still discovered that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were too poorly prepared for this battle. They had less than 150 powerful crossbows installed and could not fight against the more than 200 powerful crossbows of the Junzi Army.

Forming a numerical advantage, the too dense charge formation also became an ideal target for the Junzi Army's crossbows, which greatly improved the Junzi Army's crossbow hit rate - the tiger and leopard cavalry formations were too dense, and the Junzi Army's crossbows only needed to be aimed at

If you shoot in a large group, you can also blind the target.

On the contrary, although the loose formation of the Gentleman Army's light cavalry is not conducive to close combat, it can reduce the chance of being hit by the enemy in a crossbow battle. Unless you are unlucky enough to encounter the enemy's sharp archer, the enemy's crossbow will

With just a slight shake when launching, it is possible to pass by and pass through the loose formation of the Gentleman Army without causing any harm. This is the first time for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to encounter such a loose formation, and it is also the first time for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to encounter such a loose formation.

In the pursuit battle, crossbow tactics were used on a large scale. The hit rate was naturally greatly reduced.

In fact, the Junzi Army has another advantage that is not easily noticeable, that is, the Junzi Army uses crossbows to shoot at high-speed approaching tiger and leopard cavalry. When two high-speed moving objects collide head-on, the destructive power of the sharp crossbow arrows will naturally increase.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry uses crossbows to shoot at the Junzijun who are escaping at high speed. Even if they hit, the high-speed moving object will hit the tail of the high-speed moving object in the same direction. Of course, the power will be greatly reduced.

Relying on these two advantages, the results of strong crossbow shooting can naturally be imagined. They chased and escaped for twenty or thirty miles. Only less than forty of the gentlemen in the loose team were hit by arrows.

Most of them were just injured, while at least a hundred people on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were hit by arrows. More than half of them fell off their horses and were killed or injured. At the same time, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, whose horses were overburdened, could not close the distance with the Junzi Army and could not perform in close combat.

With the advantage of heavy equipment, the neat team also began to scatter. Seeing this, Cao Chun, who was rational and steady, quickly calmed down. Knowing that if he continued to chase, he would suffer too much loss, he decisively ordered to stop the pursuit and reorganize the team.

The clanging gold-inscribed gong rang, and the well-trained tiger and leopard riders reined in their horses one after another and quickly returned to regroup. However, at this moment, something happened that made Cao Chun helpless and angry. He was running away just now.

The 'Yellow Turban Thieves' light cavalry, who were faster than rabbits, quickly regrouped and turned around to shoot at their own troops with crossbows. Although the shooting frequency was not as intensive as before, after careful aiming, the accuracy greatly increased, and they specialized in shooting tigers and leopards.

Riding without armor to protect their faces, limbs and horses, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers were blocked from the left and right and could not parry. They could only fight back with bows, arrows and crossbows, and started shooting at the enemy on the spot.

Shooting on the spot. Although the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are strictly trained and good at shooting, the Junzi Army is still not afraid of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, because the Junzi Army relies on bows and arrows to make a living. It has a lot of innate advantages in bows and crossbows. A loose formation can avoid a large number of

The ninety feather arrows carried by each soldier were enough for the gentle cavalry of the Junzi Army. The tiger and leopard cavalry still suffered a loss after shooting. The feather arrows in the sky were like locusts. There were a large number of war horses and soldiers that were more expensive than gold.

The arrows fell to the ground. Although the Junzi Army also suffered casualties, they were still far fewer than those of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

After shooting like this for half an hour, as the number of bows and crossbows decreased rapidly, Cao Chun, no matter how calm and steady he was, was inevitably a little panicked. He even knew that he had encountered his nemesis today. In order not to be captured without help, Cao Chun could only forcefully

Cao Chun was so angry that when the order was conveyed and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged again, something happened that made Cao Chun furious. The 'Yellow Turban Thief' on the opposite side actually

He turned around and ran away again, turning around and firing arrows as he ran, giving the tiger and leopard rider no chance to get close at all.

In fact, this is nonsense. The armor on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers is so thick and hard that it cannot be cut or penetrated by two or three blows in close combat. However, the thin leather armor on the Junzi Army soldiers can not only block the force of arrows, but even one hit in close combat cannot penetrate them.

They can cut through, pierce, and be fatally struck by the enemy, so no matter how stupid a gentleman's army is, they will not easily engage in close combat.

"Kill! Kill!" Cao Chun, who was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging, waved the steel knife and roared like thunder, "Charge! Charge up and fight these ant thieves in close combat! Kill an ant thief and you will be rewarded with one tael of gold!"

There was no need for Cao Chun to offer a huge bounty. All the Tiger and Leopard Riders had already been completely angered by the Gentleman Army's mangy tactics. None of these carefully selected soldiers from Cao's army were brave warriors who would survive a hundred battles.

, and who is not the elite among the elite? How often has he suffered such a heavy loss on the battlefield, killing and wounding so many of his companions without even being able to touch a hair of the enemy? So all the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were beaten like elephants.

Like chicken blood, they clamped their horses and whipped their whips desperately, and drove their horses madly to pursue them. Not only did they shoot with crossbows, but they also risked falling off their horses by drawing their bows and firing arrows to kill the shameless group of "yellow scarf thieves" in front of them.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry resumed their charge, and the Gentleman Army, which had super endurance and was lightly armed, was of course what they wanted. Just like the last time they dealt with Zuo Rong, they just tried their best to escape, and when they had the chance, they would turn back and draw their bows and fire arrows. At the same time, they also learned the lessons from last time.

I wasted a lot of lessons on bow and arrow. I aimed at the opponent and fully drew the bow string before releasing the arrow. I sacrificed the shooting frequency to improve the hit rate. I continued to pursue accurate and powerful hits. The tiger and leopard knights were constantly hit by arrows and fell off their horses or their horses were knocked down by arrows.

The ground was so angry that he screamed, and he was so angry that he roared like thunder, but he was helpless.

After chasing for more than ten miles, the overloaded tiger and leopard cavalry horses began to lose their strength, and their speed was greatly slowed down. At the same time, because of the lack of feathers and arrows, it was difficult to effectively suppress the gentleman's army's cavalry shooting tactics - this

We can't blame Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for being poorly prepared. The key is that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have never encountered an enemy carrying so many feather arrows, let alone an enemy who relied solely on bows and arrows to fight. The danger was discovered and Cao Chun was forced

Having no choice but to give the order to stop the pursuit, adjust the team and let the horses rest.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As soon as the tiger and leopard cavalry stopped chasing, the "Yellow Turban Thief" cavalry in the distance immediately turned around and bit like a mangy dog. Shouting neat slogans, they got back on their horses and approached, continuing to cover the tigers with bows and arrows. There were not many tigers left with arrows.

The Leopard Cavalry even fought back very weakly, and could only dodge the whizzing arrows while roaring crazily, "Shameless dog thief! Shameless! Shameless! You have the guts to charge forward and fight for three hundred rounds! Shameless villain!"

!”

No matter how madly the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry officers yelled, it was useless. The officers and soldiers of the Gentleman Army were basically composed of Xuzhou locals. Most of them had a deep hatred for the Cao army who massacred the city and dug graves. Now they finally got an opportunity for revenge. Naturally, Xiang

The gangster held down a beautiful woman and wanted to cum as hard as he could. He aimed as much as possible at the parts of the tiger and leopard knights that were not protected by armor. He drew the Hun bow to its full capacity and then released it fiercely.

Shoot out and vent your hatred with the enemy's blood.

"Kill! Kill!" The most angry person in the Junzi Army was of course Tao Ying's cousin Tao Ji. He had personally experienced the Battle of Surabaya and saw with his own eyes the tragic scene of Xuzhou's soldiers and civilians being massacred by Cao's army, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

Of course, Tao Ji was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He stretched the bow string again and again, aimed at the enemy, and then shot hard. Every time he hit a tiger and leopard knight, Tao Ji would roar, "Revenge!"

He was shot and killed indiscriminately by the Junzi Army with almost no ability to fight back. The casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry naturally increased rapidly. Cao Chun was also completely panicked. In order not to annihilate the entire army, Cao Chun could only bite the bullet.

An order was given that was absolutely unprecedented for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry - Escape! Escape to Zhaoling! Find the main force of Cao's army for help!

It was too late to run away. To be precise, it was useless. Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry running to the west in a very unheroic manner, the heroic and invincible gentleman army of course chased the enemy on horseback and continued to charge with arrows to kill the enemy.

Tao Ying, who was hiding at the very back, also yelled, "Chase! Chase resolutely! Kill this group of tiger and leopard cavalry and make Cao Cao cry! Kill the tiger and the leopard! Kill the tiger and the leopard! Kill the tiger and the leopard——

!”

"Kill the tiger and destroy the leopard! Kill the tiger and destroy the leopard——!" Without any prior rehearsal, the highly organized and disciplined officers and soldiers of the Junzi Army shouted this new slogan in unison. At the same time, they clapped their horses and whipped their horses, while the light cavalry bit the tiger and leopard.

The tail of the cavalry continued to draw their bows and fire arrows during the charge, and the small ones were added up to eliminate the tiger and leopard cavalry bit by bit. The heavy cavalry was responsible for picking up the injured tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who fell off their horses, wielding swords, axes, spears and spears to attack more

Less, stab those Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness or are stubbornly resisting, smash them into honeycombs, chop them into pieces, and not give any Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers a chance to escape.

At the same time, Tao Yingshao sent a messenger to contact Sun Guan and ordered him to detach a team to clean the battlefield and collect the expensive armor and weapons from the corpses of the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers.

The battle has reached this point. Nearly half of the tiger and leopard cavalry have been killed by the Gentlemen's Army in the cavalry and archery battle. There is nothing that can be done to make a comeback. The only thing that can be fought for is how to escape to Zhao with less loss of troops.

Ling, but at this time, the fine armor on the tiger and leopard knights had become their biggest burden. It not only increased their burden, but also prevented their horses from escaping faster, causing them to say nothing.

They tried to escape the light cavalry pursuit of the lightly-armed Gentleman Army, but they could only watch helplessly as their horses ran slower and slower, while the Gentleman Army pursued them closer and closer.

It's not that there were tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who followed the example of the Junzi Army, turning around and firing arrows to delay the Junzi Army's pursuit, but their primitive one-sided stirrups could not allow them to maintain balance for a long time, and this difficult action, which they had not practiced much, also made them

The accuracy of his bows and arrows was ridiculously bad. Not only could the arrows they fired basically fail to hit the target accurately, but from time to time, tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers doing this would fall off their horses due to inertia, or be trampled to death by their own and enemy horses, or because the soles of their feet could not be used.

After getting rid of the leather and cloth covers, he was dragged by the war horse and screamed on the snow, leaving thick and shocking blood marks.

"Get rid of the armor! Give up the weapons!" With no choice, Cao Chun could only order to discard the weapons and armor with tears, and took the lead in throwing down the heavy iron gun in his hand, taking off his expensive fish scale steel armor and throwing it on the ground.

, to minimize the burden on the war horses, other tiger and leopard knights were also in tears. They threw away expensive weapons and armor to reduce the burden on their horses. But there are also many tiger and leopard knights who refused to give up these items that represented their identity.

Weeping and refusing to carry out Cao Chun's order, he insisted on keeping these expensive equipment for Cao, who was now so poor that he was almost losing his pants.

The heavy cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who refused to give up their heavy equipment, of course could not escape the pursuit of the light cavalry of the Gentleman Army. One after another, they became easy targets for the officers and soldiers of the Gentleman Army, and one after another, both men and horses fell down because the horses were exhausted.

On the ground, they were either trampled to pieces by the hooves of the Junzi Army's Qingqi, or chopped into pieces by the Junzi Army's Qingqi who came up to kill them. They screamed and became the victims of the Junzi Army's revenge.

The tiger and leopard knights who gave up their armor and weapons were no better. Not to mention that their horses had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battles. Even if their horses had enough energy, it would be very difficult to escape the pursuit of the gentleman army.

——Because the Junzi Army not only has rotating horses, but most of them are Mongolian horses with the most abnormal endurance. It can be said that the longer the running time, the more advantageous the Junzi Army's horses are in physical strength. When Cao Chun discovered this situation.

Everything was already too late. Even the heavy cavalry of the Gentleman Army had already caught up within the shooting range. They began to rotate the light cavalry whose arm strength was exhausted and continued to kill the tiger and leopard cavalry with bows and arrows. They killed the tiger and leopard without even their armor.

Cavalry Soldier………

"Kill the tiger and destroy the leopard! Kill the tiger and destroy the leopard!" Amidst the thunderous cheers, the bows and arrows of the Gentlemen Army hardly stopped for a moment. The arrows roared, the cheers were like waves, the horses' hooves were like thunder. Snowflakes were flying, and a sound was played.

A soul-stirring song of cavalry and archery. Unfortunately, as the opponent of the Gentleman Army, the price paid by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was that they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses one after another, and blood spattered one after another on the vast snow. Leaving behind

A long trail of blood, paved with corpses of men and horses, broken swords and broken flags...

………………

After the army arrived at Zhaoling County and started a battle with the Yellow Turban bandits Huang Shao, Boss Cao kept laughing very happily, because what appeared in front of the five thousand elite Cao troops were enemies like beggars all over the mountains and plains. They were all in ragged clothes and basically no armor.

There were not many people holding serious weapons. Many of them were holding agricultural tools, such as shovels, hoes, and the like. Even more outrageous, they were holding bamboo spears or wooden sticks. The equipment was extremely crude, and it was messy and disorganized.

Dui and Xi, although there were leaders such as Xiaoshuai running and shouting among them, trying their best to restrain them, the effect was not great, and no matter how large the number was, it was not something to be afraid of.

The only thing that cheered up Cao Cao and Cao Cao's soldiers was Huang Shao's main force, which was the team standing in front of Cao Cao's army. There were about three to four thousand people. They were quite disciplined and had better equipment, such as spears, halberds, etc.

There are all bows and crossbows, the worst ones are swords, and there are two to three hundred cavalry, which seems to have some combat effectiveness. However, Cao Boss and the Cao army soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles can still tell at a glance that this team is definitely not their own army.

The opponent, because the combination of this team is not reasonable at all. There is no long shield protection in front of the archers and crossbows, and there are also problems with the equipment of long and short weapons. More importantly, the formation is very scattered and does not feel like a rock. No matter which one it is.

The generals of Cao's army were absolutely confident that they could completely defeat this so-called main force in one attack.

What made Mr. Cao laugh even more happily was behind him. Among the rabble in front, a Yellow Turban general rushed out from behind on horseback. He claimed to be a deputy marshal, waved a spear and asked Cao Jun to send generals to fight.

Boss Cao spoke, and Dian Wei, who was close to full force in the Three Kingdoms, rushed out with two halberds in his hands, and fought with the marshal. When they couldn't fight, he shouted and flew out a halberd, stabbing the marshal in the side.

He stabbed the marshal in the chest so that he flew off his horse and fell to the ground far away, killing him on the spot.

Like most armies of this era, once the general was defeated, the Yellow Turban bandit team, which was a typical ragtag group, immediately fell into chaos, and countless people ran away. Immediately afterwards, the general attack drums in Cao's army rang, and they could not wait.

Cao's army shouted out, roaring excitedly and rushing towards the chaotic Yellow Turban thieves. The poor Yellow Turban thieves didn't even have the courage to resist. The general Huang Shao took the lead in escaping, and the generals and soldiers rushed to catch up. Basically, those

It was the soy sauce beggar soldiers who were in complete chaos. They trampled on each other while scrambling for their lives, leaving countless dead. Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up the killings and harvested these ordinary people who had rebelled because they had no food.

In the northern part of the mausoleum, there are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, just like the reappearance of Xuzhou last year.
