Zhang Yang, who was in Huai County, was also panicked at the moment, he never thought that Cao Cao would actually go north to attack Hanoi County. Three years ago, he had to compromise with Yuan Shao, and he was 'rushed' here to serve as the Hanoi Taishou.

Obviously, his foundation is not solid, and even military spending is not sufficient. It was only possible to raise 5,000 soldiers and horses, including 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. It's just that compared to cavalry, the infantry is like a farmer with a weapon.

"I can't fight, I can't fight at all, Cao Cao dispatched 5,000 foot soldiers, 2,000 cavalry, and 7,000 elites to attack my 5,000 men...... Isn't that bullying? Zhang Yang has already given up on himself.

"General, now that the enemy army is approaching the city, they will set up camp twenty miles away, it is estimated that the city will be attacked tomorrow, we have to plan early!" Zhang Yang's subordinates stepped forward to admonish.

He was originally a black mountain thief, but he couldn't compete with Zhang Yan, so he led the remnants to defect to Zhang Yang, and the six hundred elites in Zhang Yang's two thousand foot soldiers were the original subordinates.

Seeing that Zhang Yang might be defeated at any time, he was suddenly a little anxious. Lao Tzu came to take refuge, originally planning to find an opportunity to occupy this Hanoi, but before he could make a move, Cao Cao came over to make a move, and it was really time for me to wait.

It's just that Cao Jun's soldiers are coming to the city, and he has to fight with Zhang Yang to hate the enemy, just because he is worried about his lips and teeth.

"Plans, what can I plan?" Zhang Yang was also panicked, "Even if I send someone to Yuan Shao for help now, she will send troops over, and it is estimated that Huaixian County has fallen." The only hope now is that the 3,000 cavalry troops on the Shooting Dog's side, as well as my last hole card, can come over tomorrow and disperse the Cao army at the same time! ”

In troubled times, who doesn't have a few trump cards? Cao Cao still had tigers and leopards to ride, and at the same time secretly asked Chen Zhi to form a heavy infantry according to the trapping camp, which was only known to a few people. Zhang Yang has occupied this place for so long, can he not have a trump card?

At the same time, in the barracks on the side of the shooting dog, Yang Chou had already gathered his troops and was ready to send troops to rescue Zhang Yang.

She actually looks down on this Zhang Yang, in the final analysis, she is a soft egg, she has no enterprising ambitions, she just wants to be a soil emperor with peace of mind, but in this troubled world, who will give you peace and stability to divide one side?

In the past, Cao Cao didn't even go north, he just thought that Hanoi could be recovered at any time. Yuan Shao will choose to go all the way to Hanoi, just because he likes Zhang Yang's character. Having Hanoi as a buffer is a good thing for both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

But now that the two are bound to go to war, there is no need to leave this buffer zone. Even whoever captures this place is like a thorn in the back, so that the other party has to worry.

In other words, Zhang Yang must finish playing, but Yang Chou doesn't want to accompany the funeral. It's just that she looked back at a certain army behind her, this thousand-strong force, but it should not be underestimated. If she hadn't been worried about this army, she could have taken the 3,000 cavalry and went directly to Cao Ang, and she couldn't say that she could be a captain or a general in the imperial court......

"Fight a battle first, fight if you can fight, and surrender if you can't fight!" Yang Chou gritted his teeth, and then made a decision.

The next day, the army was drawn up, and three thousand cavalry, with a thousand trump cards, marched towards the Huaixian side. When he came to the front of the battle, not only had the siege equipment ready, but Cao Ang was about to attack.

"Report, in the northwest direction, a cavalry unit is killing our army!" The scout reported as soon as possible, and Yang Chou hadn't even been able to get close to the front of the battle at that time.

"General Cao Xiu!" Cao Ang immediately looked at Cao Xiu, who was on standby next to him, the siege cavalry really had no room to play.

"Order! The whole army changes horses! Cao Xiu had been waiting for a long time, so he immediately gave an order, and then dismounted and changed to the armored horses. At the same time, 3,000 auxiliaries stepped forward and operated on the horses before leading the horses back, so as not to get in the way.

Why is it difficult to raise cavalry, a truly qualified cavalry is generally equipped with three horses. Charging horses, spare horses, and horses on the line. Since there are two extra horses, it is natural that one or two grooms will need to take care of them. Counting the part of the horse that people eat, the consumption of one cavalry is worth the consumption of fifty soldiers.

It must be admitted that on the battlefield, three hundred cavalry can crush fifteen hundred foot soldiers, unless it is an elite such as Mo Dao Bing, who specializes in restraining cavalry.

"Charge!" Enemy troops have appeared on the horizon, but for some reason, not at a fast pace. Cao Xiu didn't care, he gave the order as soon as possible, and the large army immediately charged.

The charge is not achieved overnight, and it needs to be greatly modified to the buffer of about dozens of meters, speed up, and then charge up. At present, the distance between the two sides is 500 meters, and this is the distance of the charge.

"Move forward!" Yang Chou seemed to have been prepared, and with a wave of his hand when he saw this, the cavalry troops immediately dispersed, detoured backwards, and then assembled to prepare for the charge.

After the cavalry dispersed, a force composed of more than 1,000 people appeared in front of Cao Xiu, this is a strong crossbowmen!

At the beginning, Zhang Yang went north to recruit troops according to He Jin's intentions, and He Jin also had high hopes and allocated him a thousand pairs of rhubarb crossbows. Zhang Yang is controlled by the pro-guard army, although he is under the command of Yang Chou, but it is also the so-called monitoring, after all, there are 3,000 cavalry, but his hard work, if Yang Chou pats his ass and runs away with these cavalry, where is he going to cry?

A thousand strong crossbowmen immediately put on a posture, the other party was already less than two hundred meters away from him, and at this time Cao Xiu wanted to stop the charge, but it was too late. So he had no choice but to charge forward, and the rest, he could only give it to the armor.

"Charge!" Cao Xiu shouted, not slowing down, but speeding up. The soldiers behind him obviously understood what the commander meant, and they all followed him to charge.

"Shoot!" The captain who commanded the strong crossbow shouted, and a thousand strong crossbows immediately fell into the Cao army's position. At the same time, the crossbowmen dispersed as soon as possible, preparing the cavalry for the charge.

These thousand rounds of crossbow arrows passed, and ordinary cavalry was replaced, at least hundreds of people were killed. But Yang Chou faced the heavy cavalry, so the casualties dropped slightly, after the continuous resistance of the armor, although there were many crossbow arrows through the armor, hitting the soldiers behind the armor, but it was amazing that none of the soldiers fell, at most they lay forward or backward.

Of the two thousand heavy cavalry, none of them fell off their horses, even if there were dozens of soldiers in front, they almost became hedgehogs!

"When did the big yellow crossbow get so bad that it didn't shoot anyone else?" This idea just flashed in Yang Chou's mind, and she directly denied it. Under such high-intensity shooting, it is impossible to be alive at all!

"Charge, charge!" It's just that she has no way to hesitate at all, so she can only lead the army to charge. The crossbow bolt couldn't make the opponent stop, but it did make the opponent slow down a bit. It's just that there was no cavalry falling from the horse, so there was no significant slowdown, and it can be said that she almost suffered a loss this time when she charged.

It's just that she has no choice but to lead the army to charge, and when the two sides are less than a hundred meters, she understands the truth. It turned out that these Cao Jun actually tied themselves to the horse with a special leather buckle, and even if they died, it was not easy to fall down.

"Stop, stop!" Yang Chou plucked the cold in his heart, "I surrender, I surrender, don't rush!" All stop! ”
