Deng Zhan led twenty dragon pattern riders to kill from the flank closest to Cao Chun.

Cao Chunzheng was busy fighting with the dragon pattern rider in front of him, and he didn't notice a group of people coming from the side.

Just as he was overturning a dragon-patterned rider, he felt a sudden gust of wind roll from his side.

As soon as he realized that something was wrong, he was about to turn sideways to avoid it, when there was a sudden sharp pain in his lower ribs, and then a loud shout exploded in his ears: "General Cao, don't get off the horse yet!" ”

As the explosion came, Cao Chun only felt a huge force pushing on his arm.

He didn't sit still and fell off his horse.

As soon as his buttocks landed, before Cao Chun could stand up, a few hooks stretched out.

The hook hung on his clothes and dragged him out of the battlefield.

After being dragged out, Cao Chun slammed his fist on the ground a few times in annoyance.

Cao Shuo, who was watching the battle from a distance, said to Cao Cao with a smile: "If it weren't for the coordination of General Chen and General Deng, it would have been possible to win this battle." ”

"I've heard of dragon patterns riding in the past, but I didn't expect to have such a ability." Cao Cao said: "Go back and call General Chen and General Deng, I will reward them well." ”

Cao Shuo answered and asked Cao Cao, "Father, should we go into the city?" ”

"It's already over, what are you waiting to do if you don't go into the city yet?" As Cao Cao spoke, he had already dropped his horse and walked towards the city gate.

The lord was picked off his horse, Cao Cao turned around and left, and the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers were all bored, and they lost the interest in continuing to fight.

When the battle ended, two tiger and leopard cavalry officers stepped forward to support Cao Chun, who was still sitting on the ground.

Cao Chun pushed them away with all his might, stood up on his own, and patted the dust on his body.

Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan came over.

The two of them dismounted and saluted, and Chen Zhi said: "General Cao, it was just a drill just now, it doesn't matter what the result is, please don't take it to heart." ”

"The dragon pattern rider has won, is the general here to laugh at me?" Cao Chun asked angrily.

"How so." Chen Zhi said: "General, don't think too much. ”

Looking at Deng Zhan, Cao Chun said: "This general is so skilled, why does he look so familiar?" ”

"I've served by Childe's side in the past." Deng Zhan replied: "The last general, Deng Zhan, has seen the general. ”

"Who should I be, it turned out to be General Deng." A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Chun's mouth: "Now I am convinced!" ”

"I can't say that I lost, it was the two of us who cheated!" Chen Zhi said: "One of us led the general, and the other secretly attacked, which is really a victory." ”

"General Chen, don't say that." Chen Zhi's statement gave Cao Chun a step and made him feel a lot better, he waved his hand and said: "If you lose, you lose, there is no such thing as victory on the battlefield." ”

"That's what the general said." Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan both responded casually.

Chen Zhi said: "General Cao, the battle just now can be regarded as our deeper understanding. When Cao Gong entered Shouchun, I wanted to invite the general to Lingyun Pavilion for a banquet in the evening. I don't know what the general wants? ”

"...... by Cao Gong's side" Cao Chun hesitated.

"It's not that there is no one else around Cao Gong." Deng Zhan said: "It is rare for the general to come to Shouchun, and the tiger and leopard riders and dragon pattern riders fought outside Shouchun City. In the evening, when we have a drink, we can also talk about the experience of this battle. ”

"Done!" Unable to stand the persuasion of the two, Cao Chun said: "I will take a leave from Cao Xuan when I go back, and I will not get drunk with the two generals tonight." ”

Cao Chun was relieved, and Chen Zhi gestured to him: "General, please!" ”

When they first met, Cao Chun and Chen Zhi were a little unhappy because of which team was stronger with each other, but at this time, there was already a result, Cao Chun's heart knot opened, but he quickly calmed down.

"Two generals, please!" He also gestured to Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan, and stepped aside to stand aside.

"Gong Cao and Gongzi have already entered the city, we can't invite them here." Deng Zhan said with a smile: "Wait a while, they will all return to the mansion of the Dao Gongzi." ”

"That's what General Deng said." Cao Chun replied: "We are responsible for the guards, but we can't be left behind by Cao Gong and Gongzi." ”

The servants got on their horses, and Chen Zhi shouted: "Leave some people and send the wounded soldiers to the military camp in the city, and the others will follow me." ”

Chen Zhi gave the order, and Cao Chun also shouted to the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry: "Leave some people to help the soldiers of the Dragon Pattern Cavalry escort the wounded." ”

Leaving a group of people behind, Chen Zhi and others led most of the tiger and leopard riders and dragon patterns to ride into Shouchun.

When there was a battle outside Shouchun City, some good people watched from afar.

Not long after the battle ended, the news spread throughout Shouchun.

Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan knew very well how dangerous the situation was when they practiced with the tiger and leopard riding.

With the slightest negligence, the outcome of this battle will be rewritten.

But the people didn't know that.

They only look at the results, and only at the results that are most visible on the surface.

According to the version circulating among the people, the battle had just begun, and the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers whose number was far less than that of the tiger and leopard cavalry pressed the opponent to fight, so that the tiger and leopard cavalry had no chance to parry at all.

The rumor was circulating in the market, but fortunately it did not reach Cao Cao's ears, otherwise even if Cao Cao was broad-minded, he would definitely be annoyed.

The tiger and leopard rider is the elite under his command, and he was killed in Shouchun before he got off the horse, even if the dragon pattern rider is his son's subordinate, Cao Cao will definitely have a grudge.

Following Cao Cao and Cao Shuo, Cao Pi kept asking Cao Shuo about the dragon pattern riding drill.

"I see that the dragon horse is equipped with the same thing to step on. It is precisely because of it that when the two sides collided, the dragon pattern rider did not suffer a big loss. Cao Pi asked Cao Shuo: "Dare to ask brother, what is that?" ”

"Stirrups." Cao Shuo said: "I'm not sure it has much effect, so I haven't recommended it to my father yet." ”

"Stirrups?" Cao Cao asked, "How did you remember to equip the cavalry with that thing?" ”

"The cavalry is on horseback, and although they have a saddle, they have no place to tread on their feet." Cao Shuo said: "I thought that if I could give them a place to put their feet, the soldiers would be able to sit more comfortably on horseback. ”

"The battle just now has proven that stirrups are very effective." Cao Cao said: "When I go back, you give me two pairs, and I will ask the craftsmen to build a batch according to the pattern and equip them for the cavalry." ”

Cao Shuo responded, but Cao Pi on the side said as if inadvertently: "Although the eldest brother's dragon pattern riders are small, they have won a big victory in this battle. Now that my brother has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, I am afraid there are few people in the world who can compete with my brother. ”

Feeling that something was not quite right in Cao Pi's words, Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "No matter how strong the soldiers and horses under my command are, they are also from the Cao family." If I am strong, the Cao family is stronger, and if I am weak, the Cao family is still very strong, because we have the only father in the world of Wencheng martial arts! ”
