"Cao Thief is really worse than mud. He can't cut a single fart with three knives. He may not even be able to squat on their heads and squint on their heads and piss them down. Maybe they will all be sucked in.

Zhuge Shangshu was too cautious. Cao's army had not been out for more than 20 days, so he picked our engineers to assemble the catapult and came out to intercept and kill them."

At dawn, Huang Zhong personally led hundreds of cavalry to patrol the trench operation area in front of the Cao army's defense line. The cool morning dew in the morning was said to be refreshing, but Huang Zhong felt that his muscles and bones were not lifted, and he cursed and murmured in his heart. This day was too frustrating.

He was one of the first generals in this battle to be responsible for the war and scolding formation. Who asked him to lead cavalry, which was convenient for coming and going, and he could run away if he offended the enemy. It would be best to use it to anger people.

After Zhuge Liang came up with a practical defense tactic, Huang Zhong was gone. It was a stage like Gao Shun for a master.

Twenty days! The only thing I did was to insult every day, and it was so unpleasant that day.

Moreover, such things are easy to form habits, and daily language becomes more and more vulgar, and quality is reduced in a cliff-like manner, and gradually becomes a Zuan person.

Huang Zhong knew that this would not work, so he could only make joy in suffering and adjust himself.

In addition, people tend to get tired and get up early when they get older. Huang Zhong gradually developed the habit of patrolling and guarding himself in the early morning every day. After it was completely hot, he would hand over his subordinates to his shift.

...

While Huang Zhong was walking and patrolling there, he didn't know that several cavalry generals of Cao's army were observing secretly and pointing fingers.

Le Jin, who is well-known as a famous general, is the one who observes the most carefully. After reading it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"This old thief deserves to die. The military advisor said it was true that the older he was, the harder he could sleep. The two armies had only been in stalemate for more than twenty days. He came out of Chenshi to patrol, went back in Weishi, and even came out early to the fifth day, or even the fourth day, and went back in Sishi, which was getting more and more lazy.

I heard that this old thief had good martial arts a few years ago and had made great achievements in killing Sun Ce. I was still a little worried. Now it seems that he can't stand the years after all. In another blink of an eye, four years have passed? He is over fifty-five, so how can he still maintain his energy when he was just over fifty years old."

Le Jin's comment was not nonsense, but combined with Guo Jia's careful observation and comprehensive statistics, so it is very convincing.

In fact, the Han army's patrol cavalry seemed to be gradually relaxed this time. The reason why Huang Zhong's superficial aging was also invaluable.

After all, there are no time travelers among the generals of Cao's army, and everyone's opinion of Huang Zhong is just an old man who once was brave.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you meet an old man in real life, even if he is in good physical strength at the age of fifty, in another five years, others may not think he can do it. After all, he is nearly half of his retirement age, and most people have obvious declines.

In the past five years, Huang Zhong's appearance changes have also become a bit deceptive because his hair and beard have begun to turn gray.

"Kill, you must not miss the opportunity. Now is the time for this old man to lose energy, and there are not many cavalry around him. If the enemy strengthens the alert or changes shifts one day, there will be no such a good opportunity."

Le Jin, Shi Huan, and Xu Chu finally unified their minds. For a moment, they quietly led a team of cavalry, opened several camp gates on the defense line, and flocked out.

Le Jin was on the left and Shi Huan was on the right, surrounded and annihilated, while Xu Chu attacked directly from the front and attacked Huang Zhong himself. For today's battle, Cao Cao once again used three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and thousands of other cavalry units.

Once needed, the main force of the infantry behind will also attack - of course, the premise is that the Han army is slow to react and does not immediately counterattack. Otherwise, the Cao army will still make a decisive vote and leave, so as not to enter a full-scale field battle.

There are 200,000 people on each side, each confronting battlefield, which stretches for nearly a hundred miles and spans two counties, so there are only tens of thousands of soldiers on each local battlefield. For example, Cao's army has a total of less than 100,000 in the Yancheng Defense Zone.

In this case, if one side is mentally aware but not intentional, gathers troops in advance to launch a counterattack at one point, it is indeed possible to form a local military advantage.

Because the defensive side is evenly arranged along the front line, the reserve team must be left behind. Therefore, it is indeed difficult for the troops guarding ahead to gather troops immediately to fight.

Huang Zhong was also facing this situation at this moment. When the enemy had just rushed out, he had to hold on for a while.

However, he is the older he is, the more he likes to be brave and fierce. As the shouts of killing from the other side suddenly rise, Huang Zhong widened his eyes and shivered, and then he felt his whole body trembling for more than ten seconds, as if his whole body was back.

He clenched the sword's palm and the blue veins swelled up: "Zhuge Zhuge put our army on guard, but he actually caught it? Next time, Zhuge Zhuge will fight whatever he wants!"

Huang Zhong swept away his previous depression and complaints and directly forgot how he complained about Zhuge Liang these days.

He immediately assembled hundreds of cavalry around him, and first showed off to protect the engineers who were assembling the trenchers. At the same time, he asked the personal soldiers around him to blow all the horns and invite all the cavalry who were still resting to go on horseback and go out to fight to the decisive battle.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with snails. The Han cavalry troops in the rear camp were originally half alert, and they were not untied from their armor and horses. At this moment, they all woke up from their rest and lined up, trying to enter the battle as quickly as possible.

"Huang Zhong still wants to ask his subordinates for support? It's too late! Just the five or six hundred cavalry in front of him... Well, at most seven or eight hundred cavalry, I still want to hold on until the reinforcements arrive? So what if they are all elite soldiers with excellent equipment? Then a little bit of people will kill you."

Le Jin and Xu Chu were very disdainful of Huang Zhong's behavior of temporarily shaking his teammates' support, and he became increasingly desperate to make a move.

"Shoot the arrow! Liu Bei's elite cavalry had breastplate, but it was over after shooting their horses! It's not dawn now, and their reinforcements reacted slowly. If we drowned such a few people, we could drown! After killing, the Tu Guang engineer retreated immediately!"

Because Xu Chu is not a general, but a powerful man, battlefield command basically relies on Lejin.

Le Jin's tactical arrangement is not wrong. It is the best way to deal with some enemy cavalry with iron armor, first shoot the horse with bows and arrows, and then rely on the speed and inertia of his own cavalry, and sprint and kill with spears.

Spear sprinting can ignore armor-breaking, and shooting horses can also cause heavy armored soldiers to fall directly into pieces, making twice the result with half the effort.

The vanguards of the two armies soon entered into contact. Although the cavalry and lances had not yet met in close contact, the arrows had been staggered and broken through the air. The screams and hiss of the Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry began to be heard from time to time on the battlefield.

Huang Zhong saw the enemy surrounded from three directions. If he stayed there and waited for the enemy to attack, he would undoubtedly lose his speed advantage and could not rush up, and would face the disadvantage of being taken over by more enemies at the same time.

In just a moment, Huang Zhong judged that there were few others but elite soldiers. What is needed most at this time is to make a time difference and rush back and forth to ensure that the disadvantage of the number of people on the local battlefield is not too obvious at every moment!

But doing so also comes at a price, that is, he can no longer guard the engineer troops who dig trenches and assemble trenches, and must move to defend themselves.

Just when Huang Zhong was anxious, fortunately, Chen Dao, who was responsible for commanding the engineering troops today, was also very powerful. He has also received some suggestions from Zhuge Liang in recent years, knowing how to delay time for the flexible application of engineering troops.

At this moment, Chen Dao saw the dilemma on the battlefield. As the arrows were getting closer, he went out and shouted:

"Please kill the weak enemy on the left wing quickly! I will lead the engineers into the trench to avoid it! Zhuge Shangshu trained us to use the trench to avoid the cavalry. The cavalry of Cao's army could not hurt me in a hurry! The faster the veteran general defeated the enemy on one side, the safer our army would be!"

This passage was obviously too cumbersome, so Chen Dao had no time to finish calmly. When he said the second half, he was already swinging his weapons while killing Cao's cavalry.

Huang Zhong also instantly became blessed and realized that this was the best choice. With his battlefield instinct, he rushed towards the weakest side of Shi Huan, who was from the enemy from three sides.

"Don't leave, old man Huang Zhong!" Le Jin and Xu Chu saw that Huang Zhong was not beaten on the preset position, but instead started to move and pulled out a hole and made a time difference, and they were furious.

While chasing them, they were also wondering: Can they take the opportunity to massacre the Han army engineers first?

After all, Huang Zhong gave up his position and turned into a mobile warfare, and the Han army engineers lost their protection.

Le Jin was careful and did not chase after him anymore. Instead, he reached the trench position where Huang Zhong had just left, and turned his gun to try to massacre Chen Dao's engineers.

Xu Chu didn't have that much brain, so he chased Huang Zhong in a daze.

However, both of them soon discovered that the situation was quite difficult.

Le Jin's cavalry troops quickly surrounded Chen Dao's engineers in the trench net. In his opinion, after the infantry was completely surrounded by the cavalry, their morale should be scattered, their morale collapsed, and they fled in scattered, and they killed whatever they wanted.

However, the willpower and stability of the engineering troops led by Chen Dao were beyond Le Jin's expectations.

All of these engineers were arranged in a row against the walls of the trench, lined up in several rows, holding long spears, or wielding crossbows, and even a few crossbows installed on preset positions.

Because the trench was originally dug deeper than the height of the soldiers, and it was much deeper. Therefore, it was difficult for the engineers to hide in the ditch and lower their posture slightly. The cavalry cut down from the edge of the trench and assassinated them.

Unless Le Jin's cavalry jumped down from the trench more than ten feet deep, they could kill all directions, but it was estimated that the war horses would fall directly and even die, or they would jump directly into the forest of guns and stab them into hedgehogs.

This feeling is like in modern wars. Even if infantry is driven from the top of the trench by tanks, unless the tank uses machine guns to shoot cannons, it is difficult to crush the soldiers hiding in the ditch by just grinding.

Of course, considering the problem of shooting dead corners, in order to prevent the dug trenches from being captured by the enemy and then used, when the Han army engineers dug trenches before, they only dug one side against the enemy into a steep slope, while the side facing one side facing one is a gentle slope.

Therefore, if Le Jin's cavalry set up a big circle, circled around the back of the trench, and then accelerated again, and rushed from behind to forward, they could still rush to the Han army engineers. The only thing they had to worry about was whether they would hit the wall after killing through the Han army's infantry formation.

But no matter what, the Han army engineers leaned against the steep trench wall on the back, so they didn't have to worry about the attack behind them. They were almost as focused on carrying the front as they fought back.

After all, this is a morale battle. When Le Jin completely surrounded Chen Dao and Chen Dao was not running away, Le Jin could no longer win and annihilate the enemy quickly.

This scene is so similar to when I went to the camp in front of Baima Yicong many years ago. The most rare thing about the camp in front of me was that when I was facing the "Ring Qi Lingyao" and was trampled in front of me by the enemy's chaos, I was still calm and calm and courageous.

Even if you are surrounded by bluffing enemies, as long as our army has confidence and knows that the enemy will not only kill our army for the time being, but will continue to maintain military discipline, the battle will be won by more than half.
