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

"Cao Hong, Le Jin, listen to my orders. Each of you will lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack in conjunction with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"The rest of you will follow me to cover the baggage retreat."

Cao Cao held high the blood-stained sword and issued orders in an orderly manner.

"promise!"

"The last general takes command!"

The morale of the generals was greatly boosted and they responded immediately.

Although Cao's army has a large number of troops now, their morale is low and their combat effectiveness has declined due to the water attack.

Therefore, Cao Cao could only use his most elite troops to win a battle first, so as to boost the low morale.

As long as we successfully withdraw, we can think about the follow-up matters later.

What we need to do now is to overcome this difficult time.

Cao Cao jumped on his horse, a snow-white warhorse that was extremely majestic.

Claw Huang Fei Dian is Cao Cao's second top warhorse besides Jueying.

Guan Yu on the side stared at the snow-white warhorse with envy, jealousy, and desire.

But he had just "given away" Jueying, and he knew that he had no hope in the short term.

In desperation, Guan Yu could only grab a spear and march on foot with the main force.

the other side

Boss Cao’s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are definitely elite cavalry.

It took so many years, countless efforts and money to purchase 2,500 fine war horses from profiteers from all over the place.

That premium would have doubled before the northern blockade.

In terms of vision, Lao Cao is worthy of recognition.

In the Central Plains, you really can't survive without cavalry.

What greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was not their sophisticated equipment or excellent war horses, but the war horses they captured during the battle with Lu Bu.

After careful study, Cao Cao was amazed by the double-sided stirrups and horseshoes.

He decisively chose to arm the only 2,500 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under his command.

On the water, two groups of cavalry were galloping towards them, splashing water.

The water surface was splashed with ripples by the horses' hooves. The picturesque scene concealed endless murderous intent.

At this moment, Zhang Liao, who was at the forefront of the team, raised his crescent halberd high in the air and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shoot!"

Following this order, the soldiers behind him drew their bows and drew their arrows in unison.

These soldiers were all light cavalry. Although they wore some leather armor, their close combat capabilities were only slightly better than those of the pure Hu light cavalry.

Therefore, for the cavalry led by Zhang Liao, long-range attacks are still their main means of defeating the enemy.

In an instant, thousands of arrows rose into the air like dense raindrops, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind, and whistled towards the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the opposite side in an extremely graceful and deadly parabolic trajectory.

The scene was spectacular, as if countless meteors were streaking across the night sky.

However, at the same moment when Zhang Liao ordered the arrows to be shot, Cao Ren and Cao Chun in the enemy camp unexpectedly gave the same order at the same time.

There was another sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air, and an equally large number of arrows flew out from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

For a moment, arrows were flying in the sky, back and forth, like a thrilling feast of arrow rain.

"interesting!"

Zhang Liao led the cavalry to dodge the arrows, and was surprised that Cao's cavalry were so proficient in riding and shooting.

What he didn't know was that it was his former boss, Lu Bu, who had facilitated the rapid progress of the local cavalry.

At the beginning, Lu Bu's cavalry fighting style made Cao Cao's eyes shine.

There's no way. Although Lao Cao has made rapid progress, you just can't imagine things you haven't come into contact with.

But with Lu Bu, the cavalry commander, as a reference, learning becomes much easier.

Isn’t it just a few deaths?

As long as you learn cavalry tactics, it's worth it!

Arrows fell sparsely into the water, and only a few dozen riders were hit because they were too slow to dodge, and even fewer fell off their horses.

On the other hand, although Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were also proficient in riding and shooting, they were only established for a short time.

While dodging, many arrows fell into the formation.

However, the expected scene of a large number of cavalrymen being shot by arrows and falling off their horses did not occur.

Only dozens of Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen were killed.

"Protective gear?"

"Is Cao Cao so rich?"

Zhang Liao wiped his eyes, obviously surprised.

"kill!"

"Let them see the might of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

"kill!"

Cao Ren and Cao Chun knew that they could not defeat the enemy in a fight of cavalry and archery. Although only a small number of cavalry were killed this time, they could not withstand such a loss.

Since we can’t win by riding and shooting, we’ll rely on equipment to win.

"Fight and retreat at the same time!"

"Circumvention tactics!"

Zhang Liao gave the order and immediately rode away with his cavalry.

As a general, you must keep your eyes and ears open, and at the same time be able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Since the opponent's vital parts are protected by armor, close combat is definitely not a wise choice.

Having armor means that the load on the warhorse will increase.

The light cavalry may not be able to win in hand-to-hand combat, but in terms of speed and endurance, these cavalrymen who are developing into heavy cavalry will definitely not be able to catch up.
