In Dongjun, Wei soldiers equipped with three layers of armor and a large number of infantry marched towards Puyang. General Pang Juan commanded an army of 60,000 to capture Dongjun for Gongziwen. Gongziwen decided to attach himself to Chutian, and Pang Juan also indirectly became Chutian's subordinate.

Will.

The situation was extremely favorable to the coalition forces of Chutian and Gongziwen. Correspondingly, Cao Cao's power was in great trouble. Only two counties, Dongjun and Chenliujun, were left, and they became small princes like Gongziwen.

Being beaten from a large vassal to a small vassal, Cao Cao was in a difficult situation and was almost on the verge of destruction.

"As long as I make great contributions in the battle to eliminate Cao Cao, I can become a general in the future."

Pang Juan defeated Cao's army one after another, and joined forces with Xu Rong and Hua Xiong's Xiliang army to advance, fighting hard to gain military honors. If he became Chutian's general in the future, Pang Juan also wanted to be in a high position and hold great power. He didn't think he would

Worse than Chu Tian's generals.

"Tens of thousands of Cao's troops are found ahead!"

A cavalry scout holding the reins came back to report to Pang Juan.

"Cao's army doesn't defend the city, but dares to fight with my soldiers in the wild. It's just what I want!"

"Inform Xu Rong of the Xiliang Army to meet me thirty miles away."

Pang Juan sent cavalry to inform Xu Rong, and then personally led a thousand Wei soldiers and ten thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, riding horses and marching quickly, hoping to meet Cao Jun in the wild.

Cao Cao had Cao Ren, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu guarding the city, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Pang Juan repeatedly attacked Dongjun to no avail. Cao Cao's army dared to go out of the city to fight, but Pang Juan couldn't get it.

Thirty miles away, Cao Hong led tens of thousands of infantry to resist Pang Juan.

When Cao Jun heard that Pang Juan had abandoned his heavy army of 60,000 men and was chasing him on horseback, they couldn't help but be in chaos.

The war horses are galloping and the dust is rolling!

Pang Juan was good at commanding infantry. When he led 11,000 mounted infantry to catch up with Cao Hong, he immediately ordered all the infantry to dismount and fight with Cao's army.

A thousand Wei warriors armed with powerful crossbows fired fiercely at Cao Jun. Cao Jun fell to the ground, and then the infantry covered and killed Cao Jun. Cao Jun was defeated.

Cao Hong held his sword and shield, fighting and retreating at the same time!

On the other side, Xu Rong, the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, learned that Pang Juan was willing to advance rashly in pursuit of military exploits. His expression changed uncertainly, and he had a vague premonition of uneasiness.

Cao Cao is the soul figure. He returned to Dongjun to appease the restless civil servants and generals, reorganized the defense, and actively organized counterattacks.

There are two levels of difficulty in attacking Dongjun with Cao Cao and without Cao Cao.

"Go and meet Pang Juan immediately, Hua Xiong, you will follow."

Xu Rong has been sent by Chu Tian to the Yanzhou battlefield to deal with Cao Cao since he took refuge in Chutian. He is more familiar with the cunning Cao Cao. When Cao Cao's troops are insufficient, he may not be Xu Rong's opponent, but Cao Cao's power has developed after several years.

, Xu Rong can no longer suppress the most powerful hero in the late Han Dynasty. Now Xu Rong faces Cao Cao, and it becomes more and more difficult.

It was precisely for this reason that he was worried about Pang Juan's approach of leading elite infantry to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

Although Wei soldiers were elite heavy infantry, it did not mean they were invincible.

Xu Rong led the light cavalry to advance quickly to support Pang Juan.

Hua Xiong led only a few hundred Xiliang cavalry to follow Xu Rong's cavalry. Each Xiliang cavalry was equipped with a war horse and two supporting horses, which could speed up the march, making the heavy cavalry have a marching speed close to that of the light cavalry.

speed.

The war horses galloped across the plains of Dongjun, and everything they went was desolate.

The war in Dongjun has been going on for five full years, and there has been a war every year. Cao Cao unified Dongjun and fought continuously, and he fought with Gongzi Wen, and then Xuzhou forces interfered in Yanzhou, so there were conquests every year, and even soldiers and horses every month

Mobilization is endless.

In contrast, many counties in Chutian had time to rest and recuperate.

In a mountain forest, Cao Cao, who was wearing a razor-sharp coat, showed his sharpness. Dian Wei, a powerful and powerful man, stood behind Cao Cao holding a halberd. Two generals, Le Jin and Xia Houyuan, respectively commanded infantry and light cavalry. In addition, the young general Cao Chun led thousands of troops.

Yu Hubao rides.

All Cao Cao's generals have firm eyes. This is their last counterattack. If Pang Juan can be defeated, the pressure on Yanzhou will be greatly reduced, and there may not be any chance of turning defeat into victory.

The scouts in front galloped into the forest, whispering in their ears.

"Pang Juan has fallen into the trap!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

The strategy formulated by the mastermind Xun You for Cao Cao was to start with the easy and then the difficult. Le Yi, Li Guang, and Li Xiuning were all difficult to deal with. It was difficult for Le Yi to fall into the trap, because there was Du Ruhui as a military advisor along the way. In contrast, Pang Juan

Easy to deal with.

"If we can kill Pang Juan and defeat Gongzi Wen, there is still room for maneuver! Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Jiujiu are both withered bones in the grave and are not worth relying on. We can only rely on our own force! All the soldiers fought hard, and everyone will be rewarded after the war.

! Later, the rest of the troops took the lead in attacking, and the tiger and leopard cavalry waited for the two sides to stalemate, destroying the powerful enemy in one fell swoop!"

Cao Cao drew his sword, and 20,000 Cao Cao troops set up an ambush. Cao Chun was left as a trump card by Cao Cao, and he was restless. This battle may determine the life or death of Cao Cao's forces. Thousands of tiger and leopard cavalry are the last hope of Cao Cao's forces.

"General Pang Juan fought with more than 10,000 Cao troops. Wei soldiers came forward to attack. Cao troops retreated after hundreds of casualties. General Pang Juan is pursuing Cao troops!"

Guo Jia and Gong Ziwen led the army to station in the rear. Hearing that Pang Juan defeated Cao Jun, Guo Jia fell into deep thought. Cao Jun was now on the defensive, with only more than 10,000 men fighting, which revealed something unusual.

"This may be a trap set by Cao's thief. If Cao's thief ambushes, General Pang Juan will be ambushed. The young master can abandon the baggage and order the soldiers to march forcefully to turn defeat into victory!"

Guo Jia called Cao Cao the Cao Cao thief. This was the lord Chu Tian's praise for him. In order to prevent Guo Jia from accidentally returning to Cao Cao's arms, Chu Tian gave Cao Cao a nickname. Guo Jia turned out to be true.

Call it like this.

Xia Liang lent Guo Jia to Gong Ziwen in order to make up for Gong Ziwen's lack of counselors.

Gongziwen knew what Guo Jia had probably seen, so he issued an order to all the soldiers: "Follow the military advisor's order, abandon all baggage, march by force, and be sure to support Pang Juan in time!"

"yes!"

At Gong Ziwen's urging, only 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard the food and grass, while the remaining 40,000 soldiers marched lightly.

In the southern suburbs of Puyang, Pang Juan led Wei soldiers and 10,000 light infantry to pursue Cao Hong and stepped into Cao Cao's ambush circle! Cao Cao ordered people to cut down big trees and block the road. When Pang Juan was unable to advance or retreat, ambushes appeared everywhere and crossbows fired!

Arrow rain covered the sky, and the soldiers of Wei held up their shields and used their halberds to deflect the incoming crossbow arrows! From time to time, crossbow arrows hit the shield, or were knocked away by the iron halberd, and the crossbow arrows flew around!

A thousand Wei warriors formed a circular formation and used twelve-stone crossbows to fight back. The two sides fired crossbows at each other continuously!

The Wei soldiers were still able to withstand the ambush, but the low-level light infantry fell into Cao Cao's ambush and suffered heavy casualties. More than a thousand light infantry were killed by the ambush's crossbows and fell to the ground.

"As expected of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, he is indeed an elite division. Over the past few years, if the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty had not blocked my advance, I would have captured Master Wen."

Cao Cao saw that Wei Wuzu, who was a heavy infantryman, suffered little loss, and felt a great headache for Wei Wuzu. He had been tortured by Wei Wuzu for several years.

"All the soldiers will follow me to fight the enemy bravely. The chance of victory is today!"

Facing the critical situation, Cao Cao could only go into battle personally and go all out!

He only had two commanderies, and was no longer a big prince, but just a small prince. Zhang Liao was injured and Yu Jin was captured. Cao Cao had no choice but to go into battle himself. Chu Tian had already forced him into a desperate situation.

Cao Cao personally led the infantry, and Le Jin served as the deputy general of the infantry. They rushed out at the same time to attack Pang Juan! Xiahou Yuan's light cavalry galloped and shot, taking the lead in wiping out the light infantry in the rear!

The battlefield was filled with arrows and shouts of killing. Pang Juan was surrounded by Cao Cao and his face was pale. He quickly observed the battle situation and found that the infantry of Cao Cao, Le Jin, Dian Wei, and Cao Hong were attacking the Wei soldiers head-on, while Xia Houyuan had already moved to the rear.

"Wei soldiers listen to my orders and destroy the enemy's formation!"

Pang Juan was also a ruthless man. When faced with Cao Cao's infantry, out of his trust in Wei's soldiers, he did not retreat, but faced Cao Cao head-on!

Cao Cao led the fourth-level Yanzhou heavy infantry. The quality of individual soldiers was lower than that of Wei Wuzu. The two heavy infantry fought and used halberds to assassinate. Wei Wuzu had the upper hand! The shield blocked the halberd, and the halberd hit the iron armor and the metal

The sound of impact is endless!

Wei Wuzu relied on his powerful combat ability to defeat the low-level heavy infantry and light infantry led by Cao Cao!

"Use the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Cao Cao saw that Wei's soldiers were ferocious, so he ordered people to fire arrows to notify Cao Chun's ambush tiger and leopard cavalry to move out.

"This is the signal from the Lord. It's our turn to go into battle. How can it be so easy for Chu Zimou to capture Dongjun!"

Cao Chun, young and energetic, led Cao Cao's few elite heavy cavalry to attack.

The heavily armored Tiger and Leopard Cavalry enters the battlefield!

When more than a thousand highly equipped Tiger and Leopard Cavalry launched an attack, the ground was shaking and the iron hoofs were clanking! Everyone involuntarily looked at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry entering the battle. Cao Jun seemed to see hope, while Pang Juan's army looked embarrassed.

Cao Cao personally led his troops to deplete the morale of Wei soldiers in order to pave the way for the final decision of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

"kill!"

Cao Chun, wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor, took the lead and led the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the enemy formation!

The tiger and leopard cavalry collided with Wei Wuzu, the sharp iron spear stabbed Wei Wuzu's head, and the Wei Wuzu's halberd stabbed the war horse or the cavalry on horseback!

The two heavily armored troops collided, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to break through Wei Wuzu's defense line. Wei Wuzu's defense line was crumbling!

The soldiers of Wei were ambushed, their morale dropped, and they were consumed by Cao Cao himself. At this time, they could no longer resist the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and they were finally defeated!

If it were Wu Qi's Wei soldiers, they could still fight at this time, but Pang Juan did not have the ability to turn defeat into victory when he was at a disadvantage.

Pang Juan was defeated, and Xia Houyuan in the rear defeated the light infantry brought by Pang Juan at the same time, and attacked each other with Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Cao Chun!

Dian Wei held two iron halberds and chased Pang Juan in the rebellious army, hoping to take Pang Juan's head among the thousands of troops. A Wei soldier stabbed Dian Wei with a halberd, but Dian Wei caught it with a short halberd.

Kill a Wei soldier with a short halberd in one move!

Unless the soldiers of Wei assemble into a square formation, facing Dian Wei alone is not a one-time enemy.

When Pang Juan saw that Wei's soldiers were in pieces under the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he had no shame to go back to see his lord, let alone join Xuzhou Mu in the future, so he drew his sword and planned to commit suicide before Dian Wei captured him alive.
