The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

When Cao Ren returned from Bingzhou, he brought back 3,000 war horses. Each of these horses is a purebred horse from the Huns. The horses are tall and have strong legs. Cao Cao's own favorite horse, Huang Feidian, is just like this.

"Zixiao, you have done a very good job. With these horses, I will not be afraid of the Yellow Turban Army in Shandong in the future! You first select 800 soldiers from the army. I want to form a cavalry, led by you, called Tiger Leopard Cavalry." Cao Cao was overjoyed and couldn't put it down.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll leave the formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to my younger brother." Cao Ren took the order and left to select soldiers in the army.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, came to see Cao Cao and brought someone with him, "Mengde, this is Weizi, a wealthy businessman from Chenliu, named Zixu, who has quite a fortune. He is willing to fund our army. We can recruit a lot of troops this time." "

"Cao Mengde thanks you both very much. The soldiers I have now are not enough to capture the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Shandong. You two really provide help in times of need." Cao Cao thanked the two of them.

Within a few days, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Cao Zhen all came with troops from their hometown Qiao County to join Cao Cao's army.

At this time, Cao Cao had an army of ten thousand people. Wei Zi purchased a large number of armors and weapons, and Zhang Miao brought a large amount of food from Chenliu. The entire Cao family army had changed its appearance and was not what it used to be. Cao Cao appointed Cao Ren as the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu as deputy generals, Xiahou Dun as the commander-in-chief of the infantry army, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Zhen as deputy generals, and he was in charge of the central army. Cao Hong was the deputy general of the central army.

In this way, Cao's army began to conquer the Yellow Turban Army in Shandong.

Shandong's Yellow Turban Army commanders Zhang Mancheng and Li Damu launched a field battle with Cao Cao's infantry. The Xiahou brothers took the lead and slashed with their swords, causing the Yellow Turban vanguard to fall directly. "Charge!" Xiahou Dun gave an order, and the infantry behind him rushed forward. In less than half an hour, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated.

During the retreat, Zhang Mancheng was puzzled: "How did Cao Cao's army become so powerful and actually defeated our army?"

"As long as the leading generals are too brave, they will kill our vanguard in one round. If the army is confused, it will not organize a defense. Commander Zhang Qu, don't panic. Tomorrow we will use cavalry to charge and see how powerful Cao Cao's infantry can be." Awesome." Li Damu was full of confidence.

"Today's great victory, Yuan Rang and Miaocai should be credited with the first contribution. Soldiers have worked hard, please drink this cup." Cao Cao raised his wine glass.

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Brother, I didn't let my brother show his hand in today's battle. The younger brother is not convinced." Cao Ren was a little dissatisfied.

"Zixiao, don't be anxious. Tomorrow is the time for you and Hubaoqi to show off." Cao Cao had already planned in his heart.

The next day, the two armies started a field battle again. Li Damu led the cavalry towards Cao Jun. The Xiahou brothers' infantry was defeated and retreated while fighting. The Yellow Turban cavalry chased them to a hillside. Cao Jun's infantry climbed up the hillside flexibly, but the Yellow Turban cavalry was limited by the short horses and could not climb the hillside.

While Li Damu was yelling curses, a burst of war drums sounded. A well-equipped cavalry team of 100 people rushed down from the hillside, charging condescendingly!

In just one round, the Yellow Turban cavalry were scattered, and countless Yellow Turban soldiers fell off their horses and were trampled to death. The Hun horses played a great role and directly changed the situation of the battle. The Yellow Turban cavalry was trapped by the short horses and could not fight back at all.

Cao Ren took the lead and killed more than a dozen Yellow Turban cavalry. Facing Li Damu, the two of them slashed at each other with swords. Cao Ren nimbly dodged it and hit the sword with his backhand. Li Damu's entire left arm was cut off. Cao Chun behind him fired a shot, and the Yellow Turban warrior Li Damu was killed.

"The one who surrenders will not be killed!" Cao Ren chopped off Li Damu's head and held it high.

"I surrender, I surrender." Seeing that Commander Qu was dead, the Yellow Turban cavalry gave up their resistance and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

In this battle, Cao Cao won a great victory. With this momentum, within ten days, Cao's army defeated the Shandong Yellow Turbans ten times in a row. However, his commander Zhang Mancheng committed suicide, and Cao Cao lost all 50,000 Yellow Turbans. He expanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to 3,000 men. From then on, this army became the most powerful army in Cao's army.

Cao Ren also became the top cavalry general of the Cao family army.
