Because Le Jin had made the first contribution to defeating Chaoge City, Cao Ang promoted Le Jin on the spot in the name of general, from the captain of the enemy to the captain of the enemy.

At this moment, 30,000 Huainan New Army infantry were handed over to the command of Le Jin, but Le Jin was deeply moved.

After all, before this, Le Jin had always been the captain of the formation, that is, the one who broke the formation first, and had never commanded more than 3,000 people.

However, Cao Ang directly asked him to lead an army of 30,000 people. He was so trusting in employing people and had great trust in Le Jin that moved Le Jin deeply.

He even made the intention to die in his heart.

In Cao Ang's view, Le Jin himself had such talent, but before that, the old Cao family was weak, so the official positions and command of the generals under his command were reduced because of fewer soldiers and horses.

At this time, Cao's army already numbered hundreds of thousands, so naturally he had to give Le Jin, a good general of five, a chance to be promoted as soon as possible.

"Le Jin, if you can make new achievements in this battle, I will declare you a tiger and a brave general!"

Before the war started, Cao Ang said to Le Jin with a smile.

General Hu Ben, Zhonglang General, is under the title of general and above the rank of captain.

Seeing that just a few days after being promoted to captain, he had the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General. , Le Jin accepted the order happily and worked hard to achieve another success!

"Beat the drum and march!"

At this time, among the 200,000 Yuan troops facing each other, General Wen Chou's eyes narrowed slightly and he ordered an attack.

Having learned the lesson from his old partner Yan Liang who was killed before, Wen Chou did not underestimate the enemy, nor did he go to the battle in person. Instead, he set up the big banner. After forming numerous military formations, they were back to back with Gao Gan's Bingzhou Army, with

Zhang He leading the troops in the southeast corner, Gao Lan leading the troops in the east, and Qian Zhao leading the troops in the west. The 200,000-strong army was divided into three sides, squeezing towards Cao's army in the middle. But Cao Ang did not fight immediately.

Instead, he threw the heads of Chunyu Qiong and Han Meng far away in front of Yuan Jun, and shouted loudly:"Hebei soldiers, listen, I am General Cao Ang, Fengtian. Zi Zhao conquered the unfaithful!

Now that Yuan Shao has rebelled and disturbed the emperor, I have taken out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and burned his Chaoge and Tun grain.

The heads of the governor Chun Yuqiong and general Han Meng who were guarding the grain are here. The more than 10,000 troops guarding the grain in Chaoge have all become surrendered soldiers. This place is the confirmation of my words!

From today on, Yuan Shao's rebels will no longer have military food supplies!

If you abandon the secret and turn to the light, and come back to the court as soon as possible, the court will treat everyone equally and provide food rations!

If you persist in your stubbornness and wait for the army to be depleted and then surrender after being defeated, you will lose the opportunity to surrender, and you will regret it later."

Cao Ang's voice, like a yellow bell, shook the battlefield.

When it fell into the ears of 200,000 Yuan troops, it immediately caused a wave of shock among the 627 Hebei army.

For the soldiers, in this troubled world The CIC army was just trying to get enough food.

But if the supply of military rations could not be guaranteed, how could the army not be in panic?

Suddenly,

Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals were in an uproar. Xiang couldn't help but look gloomy and sighed softly.

They were senior generals of the Yuan Army. They knew about the burning of Chaoge's grain reserves as early as in the Chinese army tent. They just kept it secret for the sake of military morale, but they also knew that they couldn't hide it. However, at this moment, Cao Ang was exposed in front of 200,000 troops, which caused a wave of confusion among the soldiers.

But fortunately, they were not unprepared. They saw Zhang He shouting:"Soldiers, there is no need to panic!

Each camp of our army already has more than a month's supply of food and grass, so even if the food stored in Chaoge is burned, there is no need to worry.

Moreover, the four states of Hebei have vast territory and rich resources, and are abundant in money and food. Even if the food stored in Chaoge is burned, there will still be countless money and food in Yecheng, which can be transported at any time!

This is Cao Jun's plan to attack the enemy's heart. Don't let the soldiers fall into the trap!

We should work together to defeat Cao Jun in this battle!

Then our army can attack Xudu, get Cao's army in Yuzhou to store grain, and then return to Jizhou. The lord will open the Jizhou treasury, collect grain, grass, money and silk, and give a big reward to the three armies!"

Zhang He is still very good at leading troops, and he is convinced by the soldiers in Hebei.

Therefore, as soon as he stood up and comforted Yuan Jun's panic, the panic of the army calmed down a lot, and there was no chaos for the time being.

Of course, on the one hand, it was because Yuan Shao's army was so weak To prevent Cao's army from cutting off the grain road, there is indeed a month's worth of food. On the other hand, the besieged Cao army has less than 40,000 troops, and Yuan's army has the advantage of strong soldiers and horses. From the perspective of Yuan 's army

, victory is obvious. However

, Cao Ang was not angry about Zhang He's intervention to calm the army.

He also did not expect that Yuan Shao would be in chaos just by relying on Chunyu Qionghan's death and the news that Chaoge's grain reserves were burned.

It's just a seed planted in the army.

This seed will only play a real role when the Hebei army is about to run out of food and grass.

"Zhang He can be a good general!"

Before the military formation, Cao Ang made a very pretentious comment. He indeed has this qualification.

After all, looking at the world, there is no one who can match Cao Ang's performance!

In terms of reputation, Cao Ang is even more famous with twenty At the age of one year, he was already at the peak of his military skills and was the current general!

Even Zhang He, who was facing the enemy, had a look of glory on his face after hearing Cao Ang's comments.

Although the two armies were facing each other at this moment.

The enemy, but getting a compliment from Cao Ang is a very rare thing!

It is better to get Yuan Shu's thousand gold than to get Cao Lang's praise!

Of course, it is better to get Cao Lang's praise than to get a hundred catties of gold and jade!

As the three Yuan armies marched towards each other, Cao Ang finally began to give orders.

He was the first to look at Le Jin with three command arrows in his hand:"Le Jin, you lead 30,000 men.

Is it possible for me to defeat the Qianzhao troops in the west, kill the generals and seize the flag? Le Jin , who was short in stature, immediately took the order and came out, took the command arrow, and said solemnly:"At the end of the day, I will behead the general and take the head of the move to see the general.

If you can't, you are willing to chop off my head instead!

" Seeing that Le Jin was so confident, Cao Ang felt relieved, so he asked Le Jin to take the order to march.

"Li Cunxiao, you can lead 400 black armored hussars and 3,000 valiant cavalry to attack Zhang He and defeat Zhang He's army for me. Is it possible?"

Cao Ang looked at Li Cunxiao again, raised his second command arrow and said.

In fact, Cao Ang knew that Li Cunxiao could definitely do it. Asking such a question was just to cheer up the soldiers before the battle.

Li Cunxiao could kill with hundreds of cavalry. A fierce man who can defeat an army of 100,000, not to mention that Cao Ang allocated him 400 heavily armored hussars and 3,000 valiant cavalry and light cavalry.

After the five thousand Liangqi defeated Chaoge, Cao Ang commended Liangqi for his contribution and gave him the title of Xiaoqijun, which was equivalent to that of the Hussar Army.

Li Cunxiao also agreed, and immediately took the order arrow, cupped his fists and took the order:" The general has received his orders, Zhang He will be defeated in this battle!"

"Xu Chu, you can lead 500 Xuanjia Hussars and 2,000 Valiant Cavalry, go straight to Gao Lan and defeat Gao Lan's army for me, is it possible?"

Cao Ang held the last command arrow and looked at Xu Chudao.

Xu Chu moved like a hill, hugged his arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs and said:"The general will live up to the general's order!"

At this point, Cao Ang's three command arrows have been issued.

All the five thousand valiant cavalry under his command have been allocated to Li Cunxiao and Xu Chu.

Most of the 1,400 mysterious heavy cavalry among the two thousand valiant cavalry have also been allocated.

There are only 500 black armor hussars, 600 hussars and light cavalry, and 600 Jin Yiwei armed with repeated crossbows.���A total of 1,700 soldiers.

Cao Ang looked at the 1,700 soldiers, pointed the Overlord Spear forward in his hand, and shouted domineeringly:"Soldiers, follow me to take Wen Chou's great banner, defeat the elites of Hebei, kill the generals and seize the flag!

" , Cao Ang took the lead and rushed forward.

Five hundred heavily armored hussars followed behind him, forming a wedge formation to Cao Ang's left and right.

The 600 light cavalry troops followed the heavy armored hussars, with all their crossbows cocked. After Cao Ang and the 500 heavy armors tore apart the enemy formation, they would rush into the formation and inflict more damage to the enemy.

And the six hundred guards in brocade robes all mounted on prepared horses, each holding a repeating crossbow, embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, wearing robes and armor, and fully equipped.

The Jinyi Guards are not only spy guards, but also elite soldiers in all battles! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The first generation of Jinyiwei in history was the Royal Guards composed of veterans of hundreds of battles who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the north and south!

The Jin Yiwei produced by the system are all-powerful. They can be soldiers when mounted, and spies when dismounted. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's elite warriors, they are only stronger but not weaker!

Even the individual combat power is stronger than that of the Hussars!

In addition, they are all armed with repeating crossbows, which makes them an amazing weapon!

Such an array can be said to perfectly match the forces currently in Cao Ang's hands!

Deep in the formation of Yuan Jun on the opposite side, Wen Chou was wearing heavy armor and was protected by a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding shields. Looking at Cao Ang from a distance, he divided the eight thousand cavalry into three teams, and he couldn't help but snorted:"Face me. An army of 200,000 people still dares to divide the troops. This Cao Zixiu really underestimated me, the hero of Hebei!

The spear and shield men are in front, and the archers and crossbowmen are in formation and firing arrows! After three rounds of arrows, they retreated from the left and right, and the Euphorbia soldiers stepped forward to block Cao Jun's heavy cavalry! In this battle, I will let Cao Ang and his famous cavalry fall into the hands of our Hebei elite soldiers!

A general has his own way of using troops, and he has such confidence.

The reason is that in the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao ordered his troops to ambush Qu Yi with powerful crossbows and kill most of Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers. Then he blocked the attack with heavy-armored euphorbia soldiers and annihilated all Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers. boundary bridge.

Now Qu Yi was executed by Yuan Shao for treason, but Jizhou Jinnu, Euphorbia Soldiers, Xianden Death Soldiers and other elites are still there!

Seeing that Cao Ang and his army had rushed to one hundred and fifty steps away from Wen Chou's army formation, Wen Chou also held the flag tightly and was about to order the crossbowmen to release arrows.

But at this time, I saw a shower of arrows flying behind Cao Ang!

There were not many arrows, about a few hundred arrows, but they were a hundred or dozens of steps away, falling in a parabola in front of Wen Chou's army, and shot down the spear-shielders and crossbowmen in the front. one slice! [ ]

At this moment, Wen Chou's pupils suddenly shrank!

I never expected that Cao Jun could actually fire a crossbow with such a long range from his horse!

You know, when Lu Bu shot his halberd from the gate, he hit the branch of the halberd from a distance of 150 steps, which not only demonstrated Lu Bu's skill in shooting, but also revealed Lu Bu's arm strength.

In this era, powerful bows and crossbows could be operated by a single soldier, although the maximum range could reach about 150 to 200 steps.

But the effective range is within a hundred steps.

Therefore, seeing Cao Ang taking the lead with 500 heavily armored cavalry, Wen Chou planned to put Cao's army within a hundred steps before firing arrows.

As a result, Cao Jun behind Cao Ang fired an arrow from a hundred and fifty steps away!

Even if it is a strong crossbow that has been strung in advance, it is often used with a hand crossbow immediately. Compared with the strong crossbows used in ordinary infantry battles, the strength is somewhat reduced, and it is far less powerful than large strong crossbows such as waist crossbows and step crossbows.

Logically speaking, the effective range of a horse crossbow is within eighty steps, while the effective range of a horse bow must be within fifty steps.

Therefore, Wen Chou never thought that Cao Jun could fire a burst of crossbow arrows from a hundred and fifty steps away!

Just as Wen Chou was surprised, there was another buzz among Cao's troops.

I saw arrows raining from the sky one after another, almost one after another, one after another!

Although there are only about 600 arrows in each arrow rain, they can't sustain the frequent firing!

In a dozen breaths, Cao Jun rushed forward about a hundred steps, but twenty arrows rained down in front of Wen Chou's army!

In total, tens of thousands of arrows were fired!

Although they are all short arrows, they are powerful. The last few arrows are so close that they can even penetrate the armor of the gun and shield man!

As for the crispy archers, more than a thousand were shot to death by Cao Jun's dense rain of arrows!

More injured!

Most of the crossbowmen who had almost moved Wen Chou to the front of the formation were useless!

At this moment, Wen Chou was completely stunned!

He could see Cao Jun's rear formation from a distance. There were hundreds of riders holding a strange crossbow. They were constantly loading and unloading arrows. They could fire twenty arrows in a row without replenishing arrows!

And the range can reach 150 steps away, and the lethality is strong!

Most of the crossbowmen under Wen Chou's command were killed by Cao's crossbows before they even had time to release the first round of arrow rain, and were crippled on the spot.

The remaining crossbowmen only had time to release a scattered round of arrows, but they had no impact at all on the heavily armored cavalry of the leading 500 cavalry of Cao's army.

On the contrary, the five hundred profound armor heavy cavalry and the six hundred hussar light cavalry also reached the shooting range and fired a round of hand crossbows on their horses.

Of course, it can't be compared with the repeating crossbow, it can only be fired for one round.

Taking advantage of this effort, Liubai Jinyiwei hurriedly loaded up his arrows and began the second round of upward shooting.

At this time, Wen Chou's crossbowmen were almost completely wiped out!

Even the Euphorbia warriors farther behind had many short arrows hit their armor leaves and injured their vital organs.

For a moment, before Cao Ang's army rushed to the front, Wen Chou's front line was already in disarray!

Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

The repeating crossbow produced by this system is indeed very powerful and extraordinary!

In his first appearance, he achieved such amazing results and saved Cao Ang a lot of time in breaking the formation!

At this moment, Zhang He's army, which was close to Wen Chou's army, also saw such a scene, which made Zhang He look horrified and said in shock:"Why is there such a strange and powerful crossbow among Cao's army!

It can fire continuously ? Twenty arrows, and it's so powerful!

Could it be the same as Cao Langqian's Cao Lang crossbow created by Cao Zixiu?"

Farther away, Gao Lan, who was next to Zhang He's army, was also alarmed. , the same shock as Zhang He.

In fact, because Gao Lan was arrayed to the east and on the side of Cao's army, onlookers could see clearly.

While being shocked, Gao Lan couldn't help but sigh:"Fortunately, there are only a few hundred in Cao's army with such magical crossbows.

Otherwise, if Cao's army is equipped with a wide range of crossbows, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?"……"
