At the moment, the confidence of the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry increased dramatically, thinking of using the new weapons in their hands to defeat the Shu army cavalry.
However, when the Han Dao in their hands shattered, the hearts of all the soldiers fell to the bottom.
Some soldiers couldn't help shaking the handle of the sword in their hands, and secretly asked: "Is this a Han sword?"
The Han sword is sharp and tough, cutting iron like clay, but the weapon in his hand is not even comparable to an ordinary sword.
Even an ordinary war knife, as long as it is made with finer workmanship, can be used in a fight with a Han sword.
The result will be nothing more than a gap being cut, and it will not immediately break into pieces, leaving room for a fight.
But the Han sword in his hand shattered, and the three thousand tigers and leopards became lambs to be slaughtered.
The light cavalry charged fiercely and killed more than 600 tiger and leopard cavalry in an instant.
These people had no time to take precautions and died with their eyes open.
At the same time, nearly a thousand people were injured.
The brave and skilled Tiger and Leopard Cavalry killed more than half of them in the blink of an eye.
Cao Cao saw what happened and found it difficult to face it.
He could not see the next battle because Rang was so aggrieved that he passed out on the carriage.
The Tigers and Leopards were massacred, and there was a clanging sound from the military formation behind Cao Cao.
There were more than 20,000 soldiers holding new Han knives.
After seeing the tragic situation of the Tigers and Leopards, they threw away their weapons and were stunned.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Man Chong immediately ordered: "Send the order and withdraw the troops immediately."
"Dangdang" The gong sounded continuously to recall the Wei soldiers who were fighting.
Man Chong shouted again: "Le Jin, you lead the remaining cavalry to stop the Shu army."
"promise" Le Jin knew that the situation was critical, and when he saw Cao Cao fainting, he knew that the battle was lost.
He led the cavalry who had not participated in the battle to fight out and lined up on the road, preparing to intercept the Shu army.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers had no weapons to resist and had to retreat continuously.
Hearing the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops from the military formation, everyone retreated frantically.
At this point, anyone who doesn't retreat is a fool.
He doesn't even have the weapons to fight, so why fight?
Even if he has nine lives, it's not enough for the Shu soldiers to kill him.
The battle between Xu Chu and Dian Wei was in full swing.
His martial arts was slightly inferior to Dian Wei's, but he was still below the tribe.
At present, Xu Chu can stabilize the situation and even poses a threat to Dian Wei from time to time.
When Xu Chu saw the tiger and leopard cavalry being slaughtered, he was immediately upset.
Hearing Ming Jin's voice again, Xu Chu decisively stopped entangled with Dian Wei and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.
Xu Huang and Zhang Jia received the order to withdraw their troops and began to withdraw.
The armies led by the two men clashed with the Shu army.
The troops were slightly smaller, but they were all elite.
Even if they don't have an advantage, they are still fighting hard and working hard for the Wei army's victory.
Lu Meng's eyes widened when he saw the tragic situation of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
He immediately showed a look of joy, clasped his fists and said, "Teacher, my disciple led the army to hunt down Cao Cao."
Wang Can nodded slightly, with a proud smile on his face.
This time, Cao Cao really fell hard.
The elite of Cao Cao's command are the tiger and leopard cavalry.
These three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry can even be worth tens of thousands of troops.
However, due to a small negligence, nearly a thousand people have been lost, which is definitely a huge blow to Cao Cao.
Lü Meng led his army into the battlefield, wielded his long sword to kill, and shouted: "The Wei army has been defeated.
Whoever kills Cao Cao will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Kill" The Shu army launched a final charge and attacked the Wei army.

The situation on the battlefield was controlled by Wang Can, and the Shu army came out in full force, seizing the opportunity to attack the Wei army fiercely.
Along the way, the Shu army became more and more courageous in their pursuit, and the bodies of dead Wei soldiers were everywhere.
The Shu army pursued the Wei army, and finally reached the outside of the Wei army's camp.
They could no longer pursue the enemy, so they withdrew.
In this battle, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties.
Statistics show that the Wei army lost at least 20,000 elite soldiers.
As for Cao Cao's most elite tiger and leopard cavalry, there were only more than a thousand soldiers left, and most of the soldiers were injured.
Inside Hulao Pass, military camp.
The Shu army cheered and celebrated, glad to have defeated Cao Cao.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, the civil servants and generals were smiling.
Dian Wei had a smile on his face, but said: "Your Majesty, although this battle severely damaged Cao Cao's army, it was not a good fight.
If there was a little more time, the general could suppress Xu Chu.
Unfortunately, the Wei army ran faster than a rabbit. , that guy Xu Chu also ran away."
Wei Yan also shouted: "That's right, we haven't killed enough yet."
The generals who participated in the war agreed with Dian Wei and Wei Yan.
After all, this battle killed tens of thousands of Wei troops and captured some Wei troops, but no breakthrough was made.
General Cao's army was not killed or captured.
This made the generals dissatisfied.
Lu Meng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Cao's army was defeated.
Why not take advantage of the victory to pursue it?"
Wang Can shook his head slightly and said: "Cao Cao did lose some soldiers, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were also severely damaged, but this is not Cao Cao's main force.
Cao Cao still has 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops.
If he attacks by force, can he annihilate Cao Cao in one fell swoop?"
Lu Meng replied: "If we attack the Wei army forcefully, even if we cannot destroy Cao Cao, we can still defeat him."
Wang Can sneered twice and said seriously: "How can we unify the world if we defeat Cao Cao?
Obviously not.
Cao Cao fled back to Yanzhou and will continue to recruit troops to resist.
We and Cao Cao will both lose in the fight, and our strength will be greatly reduced, and we will lose Go to Yanzhou The power of advancement.
Now we are confronting Cao Cao, slowly depleting Cao Cao's troops stationed at Hulao Pass, and then relying on the pressure of the Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou armies to gradually force Cao Cao to retreat, we slowly advance, and finally Swallow Cao Cao."
Pang De asked: "Your Majesty, do you have to wait for the victory of the other three armies?"
Wang Can nodded and said, "You can say that."
When everyone heard this, they felt discouraged.
They didn't expect to see the performances of the other three armies.
If I had known this, I should have chosen to stay in Nanyang, and there would still be a chance to fight in battle.
Wei army camp, Chinese army tent.
Cao Cao was lying on the bed, his face a little pale, and his eyes flashed with deep regret.
The weapon he relied on the most turned out to be a fake.
It broke into pieces after two fights.
This was a huge irony.
Even if Cao Cao is a fool, he still understands that he has been tricked by Wang Can, and Hua Xin and Jushou have been expected by Wang Can.
Cao Cao felt discouraged when he thought of this.
Wang Can always controls the situation, and he is always the one who fails.
No, he will never admit defeat Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a serious look on his face, and secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
When the civil servants and generals saw Cao Cao waking up, they hurried over and looked at Cao Cao worriedly.
If Cao Cao has three strengths and two weaknesses, the situation will be very bad.

As long as Cao Cao is still there, no matter what happens, it can still be saved.
Cao Cao shouted: "Man Chong!"
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Man Chong hurriedly walked to Cao Cao and stood with a bow.
Cao Cao asked: "Who will be in charge of the overall situation after I faint?"
Man Chong replied: "After Your Majesty fainted, I saw that the situation was not good, so I ordered the money to be withdrawn, and returned to the camp to avoid fighting.
Wherever I have overstepped, I beg your Majesty to punish me."
"What crime did you commit?
You have made great contributions to the State of Wei."
Cao Cao sighed with emotion and asked: "What is the outcome of this battle?"
Man Chong's mouth twitched slightly, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle with the Shu army.
More than 20,000 soldiers were killed by the Shu army, and more than 3,000 were captured."
Cao Cao was keenly aware that there was no mention of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and asked: "What are the casualties of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry bore the brunt of the attack and suffered more casualties.
This was Cao Cao's biggest concern.
Man Chong sighed and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are only more than a thousand of the three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry left.
Among them, 60% of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers were injured, and only 40% of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry returned safely.
Xiang Xiang.
More than the loss of troops, it is the change of military morale.
Dang, the weapons in their hands are fake, which is difficult for the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to accept.
Not only that, the soldiers have already made a fuss, saying that the weapons that His Majesty Fenfeng has are fake, regardless of their lives, if they don't explain this matter.
It’s easy to handle.”
This matter has already caused a big fuss in the military camp.
Most of the soldiers thought that the officers did not care about the life and death of the soldiers and went so far as to use fake weapons.
Fighting on the battlefield is meant to be desperate, but fighting with useless weapons is simply a matter of death.
Cao Cao grinned, with a ferocious look on his face.
Wang Can did this trick really well.
He grabbed the quilt on the bed tightly, his eyes were cold and stern, and he kept thinking about how to comfort the soldiers in the army.
As Man Chong said, if we don't give an explanation, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes, glanced at the civil and military officials in the big tent, and asked: "Tell me how to deal with the fake Han sword issue."
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt embarrassed.
If it were said in front of all the soldiers that Cao Cao fell into Wang Can's scheme, wouldn't it be humiliating to Cao Cao?
It would cause the soldiers to have no confidence in defeating the Shu army, so they would not be able to admit it frankly.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you.
I don’t know how to stabilize the morale of the military.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "I always rely on you, but at this critical moment, can't I think of a single solution?"
In fact, it’s not that there’s nothing we can do, it’s that it’s difficult to handle.
It is true that the counselors under Cao Cao are loyal to Cao Cao, but they have some scruples.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that can preserve the morale of the army.
At the same time, it will increase the soldiers' hatred towards the Shu army and make them work harder to kill the enemy."
Just when everyone was silent, a confident and proud voice suddenly came from the big tent. sound.
The speaker is about forty years old, with a thin build, deep eyes, and thin lips.
This man's name is Xu You, who was once Yuan Shao's counselor.
After the Battle of Guandu, he surrendered to Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's counselor.
Xu You and Cao Cao met when they were young and were close friends.

Therefore, Xu You was arrogant, arrogant and disliked by others.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xu You immediately stood up and spoke.
Cao Cao asked: "Ziyuan Xu You, what's your clever plan?"
Xu You smoothed his short beard under his chin, raised his head slightly, and had a thoughtful look on his face.
Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked again: "Ziyuan, why do you teach me?"
Xu You then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will come up with a plan that will definitely stabilize the morale of the army."
This guy was a friend of Cao Cao, and he thought about his great achievements in the Battle of Guandu, so he did not regard Cao Cao as a monarch at all.
This approach disgusted the surrounding civil servants and generals and made them very unhappy. s: Three updates two;:
