Cao Cao and Liu Bei were old rivals. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou in the second year of Xingping, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and finally captured the three counties of Dongjun, Chenliu and Jiyin with the intervention of the court. The hatred between the two sides was settled. The update was quickly updated without any advertisements.

Therefore, after seeing the other party's flag clearly, Cao Cao went to war without any hesitation.

Sun Ce had such or such concerns, because Sun Ce's current status was still under the title of the court. He had to consider the attitude of the court. Cao Cao was different. As an old prince, although Cao Cao was also shaking in his heart, he did not attach so much importance to the attitude of the court, especially when he met Liu Bei, an old opponent.

It is true that Liu Bei was regarded as a royal relative, but so what? It was because Liu Bei made contributions to the four counties. When Liu Yu died in Youzhou in battle, the court directly ordered Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan. Liu Yu was a righteous Han clan relative and the imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty. He was of great fame and status, and he was very important to the royal family. Liu Xie could not ignore it. But what about Liu Bei? Although he was named a clan relative, he was only a clan relative. In terms of influence, he was not as good as Liu Yu. Even if he died in battle, he would sacrifice his life for the country. The two armies fought and were inevitably killed. No matter what the final victory or defeat, even if the court won, Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Xie would force the princes to death for Liu Bei, which would only make the princes resist to the death. With Cao Cao's understanding of Liu Xie, he would not do such a thing.

What's more, Cao Cao did not intend to fight the court to the death after going to fight this time. Now he met Liu Bei, and it was fate that he beat Liu Bei, proving that Cao Cao had made efforts. In the next battle with the court, he had reason to work but not work.

Moreover, in terms of the overall situation, if Liu Bei is let go back, join the imperial army and guard the imperial army, Liu Bei's army will play a great role. Now that he can block Liu Bei outside the pass, it is not a good thing for the coalition forces.

The four counties of Yingchuan are empty, so Liu Bei's value to the court is not that important.

“Woo~”

With Cao Cao's order, the black Cao army quickly set off a formation with the melodious sound of the horn and began to crush Liu Bei's army. This time, Cao Cao used the trick of opera and talent to make a huge noise and dispatched 70,000 troops. This was almost the only way for Cao Cao to pull out all his strength except for the necessary guards.

In the Liu Bei's central army formation, Liu Bei, who had just joined Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, had a cold flashed in his eyes. He looked at the weak Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who was injured in his shoulder blades, and then looked at the Cao army that had formed a formation on the opposite side and was pressing towards him. Liu Bei knew that he could no longer retreat, and he would die. His 30,000 troops would be chased by Cao Cao's army and eventually turned into a one-sided massacre.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei knew that it was time to fight to the death.

Slowly pulling out the double-stranded sword from his waist that he had fought for many years, Liu Bei said with gaze: "Two years ago, facing the Cao army, we could only rely on the benefits of the city wall to compete with the Cao army. The Cao army is indeed powerful. There is no doubt that as opponents, we should face the strength of our opponents."

He looked around and looked at a soldier who was a little breathless by the momentum of Cao's army and looked at him. Liu Bei raised the double sword in his hand and said aloud: "But today is no longer two years ago, and we are no longer the pieced together army. We are also elites, why should we be afraid of him?"

"Not bad!" After being simply bandaged by a military doctor, Zhang Fei turned over again, sat on the horse's back, raised the snake spear in his hand, and roared roughly: "Who is not raised by his parents, why should he be afraid of him?"

Ignoring Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's eyes swept to the three armies and said loudly: "This battle is the first battle for our army to join the court. No matter how many enemies there are, we will never retreat. The Han and the thieves are incompatible, and the king will prosper! Today, we will use the sword in our hands to tell Cao Cao that the elites we told him are also elites, and stronger than them!"

"Ho huh huh huh ~"

The morale of the soldiers of the three armies was aroused by Liu Bei, and they kept waving the weapons in their hands and let out a roar.

Liu Bei said loudly: "Line up, today, I will break up with Cao's army!"

"Arrangement!" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Zhou Cang, Guan Ping quickly commanded the soldiers to start arranging the array. The 30,000 troops quickly formed a huge square array, shouting neatly, and began to push forward under the pressure brought by Cao's army.

When a brave man wins when he meets a narrow road, he will die. Then he might as well fight. Although there are many enemies and we are few, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are boundless shores. This battle of a total of 100,000 people is no longer as simple as a few heads, morale is the most important thing.

The two armies continued to advance in the wilderness like two torrents. Soon, they all entered the range of the opponent's archers. The archers on both sides stopped advancing almost at the same time. Then, under the command of the generals of both sides, they quickly bent their bows and arrows, and cold clusters of arrows pointed at the sky. Then, with the command of the generals of both sides, rows of dense arrays of arrows rose into the air, intersecting into dense rain of arrows. The entire sky darkened at that moment, and then the clusters of arrows on both sides gathered down to the enemy's camp with a scream of death.

"Start a shield!"

Almost at the same time, the generals of both sides issued protection orders, and solid shields were raised, and clusters of arrows falling from the sky continued to fall on the dense shield array.

Some were bounced away directly, and some arrow clusters fell from the gap and shot through the enemy's body, giving the dense shield array a gap. Some arrow clusters seemed to have a very strong force, easily piercing through the enemy's shield, nailing the opponent and the people and the shield together.

"go ahead!"

The sword and shield hands in the front row began to advance in the rain of arrows, and the archers stopped in place and kept firing arrows at the opponent's camp.

Some people kept falling down, but the soldiers around him had no sympathy on their faces and continued to move forward coldly and firmly. As Liu Bei said, after two years of hard struggle, although Liu Bei finally chose to surrender to the court, in the past two years, he was also constantly struggling to survive, training a strong and unyielding elite army, which was no worse than Cao's army.

Arrows were like rain, and people kept falling to the ground, but the soldiers on both sides continued to advance under the command of the generals on both sides. Wars required cold-bloodedness. Infantry wars were extremely dependent on formations. Whoever had a disordered formation would lose. Cao Cao understood this truth, so he ignored the life and death of soldiers. As a prince, he was also the top commander in the world. He knew very well that the truth was that kindness was not in charge of soldiers, and Liu Bei obviously understood the same.

The two met when the heroes attacked Dong and when they attacked Xuzhou. They were both enemies and confidants, and they knew their opponents very well. So at this time, none of them had a moment of soft heart. They had only one purpose, that is, to defeat their opponents!

Under the baptism of the rain of arrows, the front line finally began to fight in close contact. The two troops advancing against each other, like two torrents, collisive blood flowers continued to bloom on the battlefield. The collision of weapons, the collision of shields, the wail of the wounded, the scolding of the general, and the roar that seemed to be everywhere constituted a music of death.

No matter how you advocate the justice of war, the fundamental meaning of war represents death and killing. At this moment, life becomes cheap and the spirit of death fills the world, as if endless rain of arrows is constantly depriving the lives of the soldiers on both sides. The ground begins to muddy, and the soil has gradually lost its original color.

For Jiangdong soldiers who have been bullying some small princes in Jiangdong, this is probably the first time I have seen such a large-scale legion collision. Looking ahead of the battlefield, it seems like a steep meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers on both sides. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even Zhou Yu also felt an inexplicable palpitation.

Looking back, the Jiangdong soldiers were full of horror. Zhou Yu suddenly felt that it was really right to take them to stay this time.

In the future, if Jiangdong wants to develop again, he must go north and fight with the princes of the Central Plains. This large-scale group battle is something they must face in the future, and it is also a shortcoming of Jiangdong. The soldiers of Jiangdong are unparalleled in water battles, but if such a large-scale land battle is carried out, they will not be able to catch it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu carefully observed the changes in the battle formations between the two sides. As the top commander of Jiangdong, he found that he had a lot to learn. Jiangdong soldiers could not keep fighting water wars. Proficient in water wars could only make Jiangdong a corner. Only with a strong land army can the Jiangdong soldiers truly leave Jiangdong and become a force that can compete with the princes and the court.

"Boom~"

Suddenly there was a wave of tremor on the ground. Zhou Yu quickly turned his head to look and saw a cavalry coming out of the flank. The huge cavalry formation quickly assembled into a huge cavalry formation in the direction of the flank of the battlefield. With the power of stomping everything, he bypassed the fierce battle battlefield and swept towards the archers on the rear wing of Liu Bei's army.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. In this case, once Liu Bei's army's back formation was disrupted, the result would be that Liu Bei would collapse in the entire line and lose everything. How would Liu Bei deal with it?
