The autumn wind is whisking, and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
Qin Qiong left Mi Fang to lead 5,000 people to guard the camp, personally commanded 15,000 cavalry in the center, and Lu Yi led the lead to the camp and ambushed in the back, Xu Da was on the left, and Wu Song was on the right, a total of 45,000 men and horses left the camp and went north to meet the battle, determined to give Xiahoudun a head-on blow.
During the march, Qin Qiong ordered Qin Yong and Zang Ba to lead the cavalry first, and he reined in his horse and waited for Lu Yi's first camp to catch up, and said in a loud voice: "General Koji, I heard that when you served under Yuan Shao, the white horse who had broken Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness, this time facing Xiahou Xuan's Bingzhou cavalry, it depends on your performance."
Whether this battle is won or lost, your first battalion is crucial."
Koji Yi's appearance is somewhat similar to Qin Qiong, he also has thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, his side is heavy, and he has a thick beard under his chin, but his figure is slightly shorter than Qin Qiong's half-head.
Listening to Qin Qiong's words, Lu Yi couldn't help but show a proud smile: "Since the governor has mentioned this matter, then the general will say something unashamed."
At that time, the white horse under the command of Gongsun Zhan fled from the vertical and horizontal Youyan, the Huns, Xianbei and other foreign races, known as the elite cavalry of the world.
Even the tiger and leopard under Cao Cao's command, which is now in full swing, is a little inferior in terms of fame."
"The tiger and leopard cavalry mentioned by General Koji is indeed a trouble, fortunately, this cavalry under the command of Xiahou is not a tiger and leopard cavalry, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight" Hearing Lu Yi mention the elite heavy cavalry under Cao Cao, Qin Qiong couldn't help frowning, and stroked his beard with his hand and groaned.
According to the report, at present, Cao Cao's middle army striker Guo Ziyi's department has arrived in Shanfu County, and its strategic intention is to attack Pengcheng and directly approach Xuzhou Zhisuo.
The second intention may also be to attack Shouchun, taking advantage of the fact that Zhuge Liang's reinforcements did not arrive, and then capture the mouth of the Xukou and directly threaten Jiangdong.
Qin Qiong had about 100,000 soldiers and horses that could be mobilized, and after allocating 20,000 to Yang Yanzhao and ordering him to go to Fuli Gongwei Huainan Gate, he sent an additional 20,000 to Pengcheng and left 10,000 people in Xiapi.
There is really no way to draw troops to defend it.
As the chief general of the Xuzhou Army, Qin Qiong still focused his defense on Xuzhou, because this was his theater of war.
Although the Huainan side was more empty, the enemy army was more powerful, and the enemy who came to attack was more than 100,000 horses under the command of Cao Cao himself; However, Xue Li temporarily took over the defense of Huainan, so Qin Qiong could only sweep the snow in front of the door, first trying to protect Xuzhou and then rescue Huainan.
The tiger and leopard rider who gave people a headache had to let Xue Rengui find a way to deal with it.
"But please rest assured, when we get to the battlefield, we will act according to the plan, and we will definitely be able to make Xiahoudun's cavalry suffer a big loss" Lu Yi patted his chest and boasted to the sea, interrupting Qin Qiong's thoughts.
Qin Qiong laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up to Lu Yi: "Otherwise, how could Ben have rejected Xu Tiande's plan and insisted on coming out to fight with Xiahou Tang this time, relying on your first battalion to make meritorious contributions."
Koji Yi promised with great ambition: "It will definitely live up to the expectations of the governor" After the exchange, Qin Qiong rode his horse and whipped up and chased after the cavalry troops in front.
Ko Yi glanced at the Xiandeng camp in a circle, opened his throat and shouted: "Sons, I have been silent for so long that the people of the world have forgotten the name of the Xiandeng camp.
This time it's time to repeat the glory of the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, but have confidence."
"Sure to Win" Under the encouragement of Ko Yi, the 7,000 soldiers who first ascended the camp clenched the strong bows and crossbows in their hands, and let out a neat and loud shout.
When the army went forty miles north, they saw that the north was dusty, the flags covered the sun, the horses' hooves shook the ground, the trumpets whimpered, the drums and horns contended, and the 70,000 Cao troops shouted to cover the killing.
"Array" Qin Qiong hung a double hammer on his back, holding a golden furnace gun in his hand, and shouted under the guards of Qin Yong and Zang Ba.
The 15,000 cavalry lined up according to the instructions on the march, but a closer look revealed that there was enough gap in the middle of each column of cavalry for a row of archers to rush out, which was the passage reserved for Koji to rush out of the camp.
Hidden behind the cavalry was the first camp of Koji Yi, arranged in a team of two hundred people, each bent bow and arrow, just waiting for Koji Yi to give an order, then rushed out of the gap reserved by the cavalry, and gave the attacking Cao army iron cavalry a head-on blow.
On the left flank of the cavalry were the pikemen led by Xu Da, and the thousands of people in front of them clenched the repulsive pistols in their hands, ready to resist the Cao cavalry charge.
The heavy infantry on the right flank was led by the infantry general Wu Song, carrying a boiled copper water and fire stick and a Xuantie Pu knife hanging from his waist, ready to rush forward to fight the enemy archers hand-to-hand.
Seeing from a distance that the Han army was ready for defense, Xiahoudun raised his spear in his hand and ordered to suspend the pace of the march, and at the same time sent scouts to spy on the Han army.
After a while, the scout Pegasus turned back: "Report to General Xiahou, according to the visual inspection of about 50,000 Han soldiers in front, and the cavalry regiment in the center is personally commanded by Qin Qiong, and the visual measurement is about 15,000" "Is there only 50,000 people?"
After listening to the scout's report, Xiahou Dan's one-eyed eyes were round, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face: "Qin Qiong's guy really doesn't know the height of the sky, with the qualifications of the minister of the dragon, he mixed a general of the four expeditions, and really compared himself with Li Jing and Yue Fei, with only 50,000 horses and 15,000 cavalry, he dared to come out to fight in the field, see me kill him this time, throw away his armor, let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."
Xiahoudun's tone was full of contempt, but he completely forgot that his hussar general also relied on seniority and connections to get up.
In terms of ability, there are not a few people in the entire Cao Wei army who surpass him, if it weren't for the fact that he was of the same clan as Cao Cao, how could he be in a high position "Wang Yanzhang and Xu Chu are ready, and the general will lead the cavalry to cover the past" Xiahoudun made a move with a spear and issued a military deployment, "Wen Ping and Dolgon each led 15,000 infantry to echo on both sides, and Chen Ziyun and Cao Gui led 10,000 horses to respond after the palace" "Kill" With Xiahoudun's order, Wang Yanzhang urged the horse to charge with a gun.
Xu Chu was also not to be left behind, and he also crossed the horse and carried a knife, and Wang Yanzhang rode out together, leading 30,000 iron horsemen, sweeping towards the Han army's position like a tide.
"Dingdong Wang Yanzhang took the lead in the attribute explosion, force 3, iron gun 1, the current base force rose to 103" Thirty thousand iron horsemen swept in like a tide, and the shaking mountains shook, but Qin Qiong immediately stood still, silently calculating the distance between the two sides in his heart, "Five hundred zhang, four hundred zhang, three hundred zhang" t1706231537:
