Cao Cao also took this opportunity to retreat to the central army.

The war is about to start.

More than 20,000 troops collided first.

It is naturally impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to rush into the battlefield at once.

Firstly, the venue conditions do not allow it, and secondly, it is inconvenient to command.

The soldiers holding shields rushed towards the enemy and struggled to break through the shield formation in the front row. The comrades who followed immediately provided cover with swords and guns.

Dong's soldiers were divided into groups of three, armed with swords, spears, and shields, and they continuously killed Cao's soldiers through tacit coordinated attacks.

Whenever Cao's soldiers brandished swords and attacked someone, the shield soldiers protected by the swordsmen and spearmen would immediately block with their shields.

"The enemy soldiers are very elite."

Le Jin looked solemn as he swung his sword and killed a spearman who was stabbing his horse.

Just now, with the cooperation of the three soldiers, Le Jin almost suffered a loss.

"Wen Qian, be careful, there's something wrong with the enemy!"

Li Dian held his spear and pointed repeatedly, while reminding Le Jin, with whom he had a good relationship.

"Don't worry, I feel it too."

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Le Jin nodded, and no longer dared to fight alone, but instead huddled together with his soldiers.

中军

Dong Yu looked at the situation of both sides and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"The results of our soldiers' training are very good."

"In just the first battle, Cao's army suffered a great loss."

Dong Yu stood on a high place and looked at the battlefield, his face full of joy.

"If the situation continues to develop like this, Cao's army will undoubtedly be defeated."

Xu Rong nodded in agreement.

"Don't underestimate Cao Cao. He is treacherous and cunning, and he must have some tricks waiting for us."

"Handle with caution and always pay attention to the situation on the battlefield."

"You are the commander in this battle, and the rear will be left to you later."

Dong Yu was not too relaxed, but instead put some pressure on Xu Rong.

"Don't worry, my lord. Rong will definitely win this battle for you."

Xu Rong bowed solemnly.

the other side

Cao Cao naturally also noticed the situation on the battlefield.

"Are the soldiers of Dong's army so strong?"

Cao Cao frowned and looked at Zhang He beside him.

"As I said, the soldiers under my command are only in the upper middle level of the Dong army."

"This group of troops before us should be Xu Rong's Jizhou Army. Not only are their soldiers elite and formidable, they are also proficient in the art of combined attacks and coordinated attacks. Even an ordinary general would be at risk of being killed if surrounded by a large group of soldiers."

Zhang He explained to Cao Cao with a serious expression.

"Unfortunately, although our soldiers are elite and strong, they don't have much time to practice this kind of coordination."

Cao Cao said with some emotion.

In these years, Cao Cao was either fighting or on his way to fight.

Unlike Dong Yu's army, which had gone through several years of rest and training, and after being tempered in blood and fire, it had also honed its military formations such as battle formations and combined attacks.

He also wanted to train his soldiers in battle formations, but he didn't have the time to do so.

Lao Cao’s small startup has grown to its current size thanks to its continuous battles.

"Send the order. Command Generals Shi Huan, Han Hao, Liang Gang, and Le Jiu to lead the archers and fire arrows at the enemy's rear."

"Since we can't defeat them head-on, we should look for an opportunity to destroy this army from the flank."

Cao Cao gave orders to the messenger behind him.

"promise!"

The two messengers responded and immediately rode their horses towards the two wings.

"My lord, the main force of the front army also needs reinforcements, otherwise if our army suffers too many casualties, the situation will be difficult to recover."

Cheng Yu looked at the front army being beaten back by the enemy and couldn't help but give a reminder impatiently.

"Zhu Ling, Lu Qian, you two will lead 10,000 main forces to the central army. You must stop the enemy before our two wings gain the upper hand."

Cao Cao looked at the two generals beside him and spoke.

"promise!"

Zhu Ling and Lu Qian responded and immediately led their troops to support the main force on the front line.

After seeing Cao's army take action, Xu Rong immediately responded.

"kill!!"

"It's time to repay the General's kindness."

"Shoot for me, boys!"

Dust is flying and horses are galloping.

After Cao's army deployed additional troops on both wings, a large army that Cao Cao had not expected circled around the two wings.
