The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Become a prisoner?

"The Marquis of Dongyang is still as arrogant as ever, if that is the case, I will teach him a profound lesson!" Cao Cao said.

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao also retreated and handed over the battlefield to the generals.

In the past, Cao Cao's martial arts were good, but after he became the prime minister, he was entangled in trivial matters, so he was not as good as before.

Although it was far away from the battlefield, Cao Cao could still hear the horns of the Yangzhou Army in the howling wind, so far away.

Even here, Cao Cao could feel an inexplicable pressure.

Afterwards, he clearly saw that the Yangzhou Army assembled into a dense phalanx.

They actually changed the formation through the sound of the horn!

Cao Cao can be sure that this is a well-trained army!

After a while, the infantry phalanx in Yangzhou began to move forward with neat steps, giving people an unparalleled visual impact.

On the contrary, the Yangzhou cavalry remained motionless, as if waiting for their moment.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao had a little bit of joy. Dongyanghou wanted to use 5 horses to resist the attack of 30 people.

This is no longer arrogant, but suicidal!

According to the plan, the allied troops were the first to dispatch cavalry, including Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Cavalry fights infantry, isn't the elder brother beating the younger brother?

Chapter 560 The Power of Heavy Infantry

As we all know, the Yangzhou cavalry is hard to beat in the world.

However, the Allied forces did not have enough cavalry to contain them, and the combined cavalry of Cao Cao and Sun Ce was only 5 horses.

Of the 12 troops of the Yangzhou Army, [-] are cavalry.

In comparison, the Allied cavalry was at a disadvantage, not counting the elite level.

So Cao Cao came up with a way, that is Tian Ji horse racing.

Use cavalry to attack the infantry of the Yangzhou Army, and then use pikemen to defend the two wings, use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and quickly gain an advantage.

There are 10 horses on each side, and the defense is like an iron barrel. If the cavalry wants to make an assault, it is impossible to pass without leaving a lot of corpses.

Allies have a superior force and are not afraid to trade lives for lives.

So when he saw the infantry phalanx in Yangzhou advancing, Cao Cao smiled slightly, as if he had the chance to win.

Liu Ke didn't panic at all, and ordered the infantry phalanx to march slowly.

In the beginning, the battles between the infantry were usually single-handed or group fights, regardless of strategies and tactics, and more relying on personal courage and skills.

Until the skill of warfare improved, the infantry phalanx appeared.

The phalanx can organize individual infantry, which not only involves complex organization and coordination, but also requires the cooperation of weapons and equipment, the unity of action, and the application of strategies.

The phalanx can play the role of one plus one greater than two, integrating offense and defense.

In order to cooperate with the battle of the infantry phalanx, Liu Ke specially selected a plain, which greatly improved the mobility and flexibility of the phalanx.

It's ridiculous that Cao Cao and others narrowly believed that this was conducive to cavalry assault.

Although that's true.

In Liu Ke's sight.

A gap suddenly opened in the Allied phalanx, and the gap continued to expand, and the hidden cavalry inside came into view.

In order to hide the existence of cavalry, Cao Cao spent a lot of thought.

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

Boom boom boom!

The Allies began to beat their drums, and the cavalry launched a fearless charge.

As if the sky was falling apart.

"Raise the shield!" Liu Ke shouted, deliberately prolonging the ending.

"drink!"

A large shield was lifted up, directly covering the team of 5 people.

"Haha, Marquis Dongyang is really ridiculous. With an army of 5 people, even a few hundred archers can't do it!" Cao Cao laughed.

If they faced the Shesheng Battalion, the cavalry would probably have lost more than half of it before they reached the formation.

Cao Cao was very fortunate.

However, Liu Ke didn't care. If the Shesheng Battalion was here, Cao Cao would definitely not let the cavalry charge like this.

The well-disciplined and well-trained heavy infantry moved rhythmically, leaning sideways on their shields against the backs of the soldiers in the front row, and then inserted their spears into the ground as a support point to push forward.

"Raise the gun!" Liu Ke shouted.

The spear was three to five meters long and was held by two to three soldiers.
