When Cao Cao's army attacked Guandu, Cao Cao also ordered Liu Yan and Li Dian from Puyang to lead the army to advance towards the white horse. Of course, the purpose is not to really want to take the white horse and continue to attack Li Yang, but to restrain Lu Ning's army. Of course, if Zhao from Liu Yan and Li Dian can take the white horse, the feint attack can also be turned into a real attack. No matter how real the virtual or the real, there is no fixed number, and it can be converted at any time.

After receiving the notice from the Baima garrison Juhu, Zhang Yan of Liyang immediately led a large army to reinforce the Baima. At the same time, Tian Choo personally led a 10,000 army to reinforce the Baima, which suddenly reached more than 30,000 soldiers, including 10,000 infantry, 20,000 flying bear cavalry, and thousands of original Baima defending the city.

After Tian Chou arrived at the White Horse, the scouts reported that Liu Yan, Li Dian and the other two led an army of 50,000 and were moving towards the White Horse. Tian Chou did not delay and immediately asked Zhang Yan to lead 10,000 Feixiong Army to meet the vanguard. Tian Chou led Wu Qiu Jian and Ju Hu and the other two led an army of 20,000 and then killed them.

Although Liu Yan and Li Dian's army had early troops, they were all infantry after all. In addition, the marching was slow, and they met Zhang Yan's army before they arrived at the White Horse. After the two sides met, they did not fight immediately, but set up camps to confront each other.

One day later, the 20,000 troops led by Tian Chou also arrived. After all, Lu Ning had sufficient war horses, and infantrymen used war horses for transportation when marching. Even the horses pulling carts were all war horses. In other princes, even the horses pulling carts were definitely better than war horses. This is something that other princes could not compare with Lu Ning. Who made Lu Ning have sufficient war horses!

Liu Yan and Li Dian, under Cao Cao, were also considered excellent generals; Liu Yan was good at defending the city. Although he was severely scolded by Taishi Ci when defending Xingyang, it cannot be said that Liu Yan had a problem with his ability, but the combat power of Taishi Ci's army was too strong and his weapons and equipment were too excellent.

There is no need to question Li Dian's ability. In history, Cao Cao's five good generals are definitely very good. Cao Cao's men are already full of talents and have a lot of points. Cao Cao's men are equivalent to the Five Tiger Generals under Liu Bei, and the Five Tiger Generals are even better than the Five Tiger Generals.

In history, the five good generals under Cao Cao were excellent in leading troops to fight, and in terms of military strategy, not blindly brave men, but the result of comprehensive strength; the only thing that the Five Tiger Generals was not satisfactory was Zhao Yun who had excellent performance in leading troops to fight, but he was not valued and was a lifelong guard; Huang Zhong was also excellent, but Huang Zhong was a little older at that time and was not valued; although Ma Chao was very capable of cavalry combat, he never received attention from Liu Bei. Liu Bei valued the two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and the two brothers were not clear about their strategies except bravery.

During the decisive battle, Li Dian's 30,000 central army formed a turtle round formation and twisted it tightly into a group, with the purpose of defending, with 10,000 troops on both sides, and responding at any time; this turtle round formation is indeed conducive to defense, with shield soldiers on the front and both sides huddles tightly huddle together, and behind the sign are countless spears to form a forest of guns. If you attack easily, it is difficult to break through the defense line of the turtle round formation. Even if you use cavalry to break the formation, it will cause great casualties, let alone use infantry to break the formation.

Although the turtle round formation is conducive to defense, it is not conducive to attack. It seems that Li Dian is ready for defense; Tian Chou's central army is 10,000 violent bear infantry, and a Roman gun formation is set up. There are 10,000 flying bear cavalry behind the 10,000 infantry, and Zhang Yan on both sides, Wu Qiu Jian and others led 5,000 flying bear cavalry to eye, giving a fatal blow to Li Dian's military formation at any time.

Juhu looked at Li Dian's turtle round formation and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Tian, ​​this Cao army defended before the battle. It seems that they have no confidence to defeat our army!"

Tian Chou laughed and said, "I would be overestimating my ability to use this turtle circle to prevent our army from breaking the formation."

Tian Chou was one of the earliest strategists who followed Lu Ning. He immediately made great achievements in the fight against the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other grassland foreign barbarians. He was one of the most prominent people under Lu Ning. On a certain level, Tian Chou's military achievements were even greater than that of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He. The battles he experienced were countless, and he was also one of the people Lu Ning trusted the most.

Zhang Yan said: "Mr. Tian, ​​this turtle round formation is not easy to break! It will cause us a lot of casualties."

Tian Chou smiled and said, "Don't worry! This little round turtle is still difficult for us, you can follow the orders."

Zhang Yan, Wu Qiu Jian, and Ju Hu said three times: "Abide by the order!"

Tian Cho ordered the central army to attack. When the army heard the horn, it slowly pressed upwards after the drums. When it reached about two steps, Tian Cho ordered the stop again; then gave in to the 50 crossbows and 50 catapults behind to bombard Li Dian's military formation, preparing to smash Li Dian's turtle round formation into flaws in one fell swoop.

Needless to mention the 50 crossbow chariots, each time it can fire ten extremely powerful crossbow arrows. The lethality and intimidation are very terrifying. They can easily penetrate the shield in front of Cao Cao's formation, and even penetrate the soldiers behind the shield.

The catapult car is not bad either. Dujiangyan City has been improved by Ma Jun many times. Its lethality is extremely powerful, with only one-third of the original weight, and its firing speed is more than twice as fast as possible, with better operating performance and higher accuracy. Although the production of the catapult car has been reduced after the successful research of artillery, it is developing a catapult based on the catapult car, hoping to use a catapult to replace the catapult car.

With Tian Choo's order, 50 catapults and 50 crossbows opened fire at the same time!

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

500 crossbow arrows first hit the shield in front of Li Dian's army. The powerful crossbow arrows hit the shield with huge inertia. Fortunately, Li Dian was more careful when arranging the shield and almost arranged three layers of shields. Although it blocked the fierceness shot from the crossbow cart and was not penetrated, most of the shields were definitely crossed through the second floor, and some were third floors, but they still could not hurt the soldiers behind the shield. However, the powerful impact of the crossbow arrows smashed the shield several steps, and some shield soldiers were directly knocked down by the powerful inertia of the crossbow arrows.

Before Li Dian's shield soldiers could breathe, the 50 stones shot out of the catapults fell on the head of the black stone, and the hit shield soldiers were immediately broken. If the soldier was hit directly, it would immediately turn into a pile of bloody minced meat.

All kinds of crying sounds, howlings, screams, sobs, and the sounds of crossbow arrows shooting shields or stones hitting shields all gathered together, which was really like a battlefield symphony. Stones hit people with bleeding splashed everywhere, some turned into a beautiful curve, some splashed in dots, and then splashed onto the bodies of the four soldiers in a free fall.

Amid the shouts of Li Dian's soldiers, 50 crossbows under Tian Chou fired again, and 500 fierce crossbow arrows hit the shield. At this time, the shield soldiers were not as lucky as last time. Because the soldiers' unstable footsteps and their formation was a little relaxed. After the first round of strikes, the shield soldiers followed the huge impact force and had not fully recovered at this time. Then they took over the second round of crossbow arrow shooting, which immediately made Li Dian's shield soldiers turn over and turn around. Some of them could not follow the strike again and were directly taken away by crossbow arrows, while some were even pushed into the sky by crossbow arrows, and some were directly penetrated by crossbow arrows.
