System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

And a few years are enough for the people occupying Jizhou to make rapid progress in strength.

"You won't get beaten, will you?"

Bai Rao shrank his neck and said with some fear.

Although they are the Black Mountain bandits who massacred the Hebei families, it does not mean that they are very strong.

Compared with any of the three families on the battlefield, they were like ants.

You know, even the weakest Cao Cao had defeated them in Dongjun and Henei, not to mention the stronger Yuan Shao and Dong Yu.

"Let's just watch from a distance."

"Once the situation becomes clear, we will rush forward and help the winning side."

Zhang Yan glanced back at Bai Rao and explained.

Although adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need, helping someone in need can be fatal. If things go wrong, more than 20,000 Black Mountain Army brothers may all die.

...

on the battlefield

The sound of war drums continued to echo in every corner of the battlefield.

The soldiers of both sides advanced in formation, and did not rush forward in a chaotic manner as imagined, attacking each other indiscriminately.

That is the scene that only appears after complete chaos.

The current stage is that the commanders of both sides need to ensure that the casualties of their armies are minimized and at the same time cause chaos in the enemy's army before their armies collide with the enemy.

War is like a game of chess, and the commander must use each chess piece flexibly.

"General, the central army is five hundred steps away from Yuan's front line!"

"General, the Hebei army is 500 steps away from Cao's front line!"

"General, the wolf cavalry is five hundred steps away from Yuan's flank!"

...

The cavalry scouts rode out one by one and informed Xu Rong of the army's situation.

On such a large-scale battlefield, Xu Rong's eyes are these cavalry scouts, who need to transmit military strength and report military intelligence.

"The vanguard advances three hundred paces, and the strong bows are ready to shoot."

"The cavalry on both wings will maintain a distance of one hundred paces from the front."

Xu Rong held a long sword and drew a huge chessboard on the ground.

As Xu Rong's order was issued, the military flags flew and the trumpets sounded.

The two main armies advanced forward, with Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Lan commanding the Hebei Army and the Central Army respectively.

"Fire arrows!"

When the enemy army stepped into the range of the bows and arrows, almost at the same time, a large number of arrows suddenly rained down from the armies of both sides.

At the same time, the shield was raised, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky, with the clanging sound like a violent storm.

Only a very few unlucky ones were injured by arrows, but they were immediately replaced by soldiers.

"Keep pushing forward!!"

"Keep pushing!"

Zhang Liao pointed his halberd forward and shouted loudly.

At the same time, the central army commanded by Zhang He also slowly moved forward.

The three armies advanced forward with shields in hand, braving a hail of arrows.

"Fifty steps!"

"charge!"

When the ambiguous distance of fifty steps was reached, Cao's army immediately raised their shields in front of them and launched an attack on Zhang He's central army.

"Ah."

"Everyone, listen up! Prepare your crossbows for a volley!"

Zhang He sneered and gave the order immediately.

Compared with the somewhat impulsive Cao army, Yuan army's main general Qu Yi was obviously more calm.

When Qu Yi, who was in the rear, learned that Cao's army had launched a fierce attack, the corner of his eyes twitched slightly.

"Is this a delivery?"

"Ignore Cao's army. Continue advancing, maintain formation, and be on guard against the enemy's crossbows."

Qu Yi couldn't help but look in the direction of Cao's army with some confusion, and then gave orders to the messenger with a serious expression.

Zhang Liao was leading his troops forward. Seeing that the enemy still maintained a fairly neat formation and their shields were still in a tight defensive formation, he couldn't help but sigh that it was difficult to deal with this situation.

"Send the general's order, continue advancing until close combat."

As expected, facing the calm and composed Qu Yi, Xu Rong could only continue to advance in formation.

Compared with their confrontation along the way, Cao's army suffered heavy losses.

In order to ensure that the main force can achieve success, crossbows are almost guaranteed to be equipped with two as standard for all crossbowmen.
