Although Xu Rong ordered the large army to dismount and fight in the field, he did not forget the advantages of his Xiliang troops and galloping. It was originally a killer move for the Xiliang troops to win. In order to deal with the Yuli formation of Cao's army, the cavalry tactics can be temporarily put away. However, once the Cao army's formation has a flaw and charges and rushes into the formation, the plan of thousands of cavalry to defeat ten thousand troops must be prepared.

The right wing where Yan Xing is located seems to be just a restraint of the left army of Cao's army on the surface, allowing Xu Rong's main elite to attack Cao Cao's central army. However, those who are good at using military tactics can think of a deadly reason, a deadly order, learn from one example and take advantage of the situation, which is the way to win the battle formation.

Yan Xing made the illusion that the offensive was exhausted, that was, the left army on the opposite side could rest and breathe. Only they could rest and breathe, their brains would be running. They were watching their central army formation shaking, and they must be anxious.

How could they be done when the nest is destroyed? Even if they are not worried about Cao Cao's central army, they must make a difference for their own safety.

What Cao's left army can do is to send troops to rescue the central army, or send surprise troops to repel his enemy with weak attacks in person, so that the main elites of Xu Rong's position can realize the unstable flanks and can only return to the army to guard, which can restrain one's side.

Compared with passive rescue and active defensive attack, it will obviously attract more attention to the left generals of Cao's army. After all, Bao Xin is not an incompetent person. Which of these two countermeasures is better or worse can be distinguished at a glance.

This is also the opportunity for Cao's army to turn defeat into victory. I believe the Cao army on the opposite side would not be willing to give up easily. Therefore, Yan Xing made a plan in advance and asked Xu Huang and Ma Lin to prepare, and prepare an unforgettable memory for Cao's army who wanted to attack instead of defending.

Listen, the attacking drums have sounded.

···

Where is the flag of the Central Army of Cao's Army

When he heard the sound of attacking drums in the left army's military formation, Cao Cao, who was standing on the horse, suddenly his eyelids twitched violently. He held the sword tightly and strangled the boring and uneasy war horse. The suppressed irritability in his chest was a little unstoppable at this moment, and he couldn't help but shouted loudly:

"Where can you beat the drum? Without my orders, how can anyone dare to beat the drum and attack without authorization!"

"General, Bao Jibei, the left army, sent envoys to report that the Xiliang army was intended to break through the central army, and the two wings were just restraining him. Therefore, he responded to the situation and sent troops to feint attacks and attacked the enemy in order to slow down the front of our central army. Well, on the right army, Bao Jibei also sent someone to report!"

Cao Hong did not ride a horse and hurried over. He just now ran to receive the news sent by Bao Xin's envoy.

"this!"

When Cao Cao heard Bao Xin take the initiative to attack the Xiliang soldiers opposite him, he was also a person with a wise mind. He soon understood that Bao Xin was worried about his defense of the Central Army, and was afraid that the Central Army where he was located could not resist the Xiliang soldiers' attacks.

Once the central army where he was located was defeated by the Xiliang soldiers in one fell swoop, the three-way coalition would naturally be defeated and the collapse would be difficult to recover.

Therefore, Bao Xin had to take the initiative to attack the enemy troops on the opposite side.

After all, Bao Xin was for him, Cao Mengde, and for the overall situation of the three-way coalition forces. However, Cao Cao was deeply worried about this. The generals led by the Xiliang army on the opposite side were not ignorant of the soldiers. From their decisive abandonment of the method of cavalry and instead let the soldiers dismount and form formations and fight in infantry, we can see that the opponent's enemy general is an experienced and brave and resourceful person.

If the enemy general placed on both wings only had the meaning of restraining effect, Bao Xin's feint attack might succeed by chance and attract a small amount of pressure for himself. However, if the enemy general placed on both wings still has the purpose of luring the enemy to attack, then I am afraid that Bao Xin's feint attack will inevitably be in danger.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly said:

"Zi Lian, hurry up and tell the person to come and ask him to return quickly. Just say my order, let Bao Jibei send troops to attack. No matter whether it succeeds or fails, he must retreat with one blow. He strictly guards the formation and cannot fight in a long time. Remember!"

After saying that, Cao Cao looked anxiously towards the left army where Bao Xin was.

When he was in the middle army, facing Cao Ren and Cao Chun’s two brothers’ troops, he was in danger and could be swallowed up by the Xiliang soldiers at any time, he still made up his heart and did not send out the only mobile force of the central army’s personal soldiers in his hands. Instead, he ordered loudly that the soldiers of the entire army would fight to the death, and those who were afraid of retreating first were killed immediately.

What is the purpose? Isn’t it just to force my soldiers to survive, squeeze out all the potential in my body, and fight against the Xiliang soldiers' charges so that I can wait until the attack on the Xiliang soldiers declines, and order the three armies on the left, center and right to attack all the mobile forces, and catch the Xiliang soldiers off guard, and successfully turn the Cao army into victory?

Now, if Bao Xin makes a feint attack, he will inevitably use the cavalry left in the Left Army in advance. This surprise attack will not be enough if he wins. Although he lost the surprise army of the Left Army, it will at least delay the frontal offensive of the Xiliang army. However, once it fails, not only will Bao Xin be in danger, but the situation will collapse one after another, but even the central army where he is located and the right army where Wei Zi is located will be in a catastrophe.

···

Just when Cao Cao was worried about the left army's feint attack, Bao Tao, who led his troops to attack the feint attack, was proud and very interested. No matter who he was, he could inevitably fall into a burst of confidence from being passively beaten to proactive attack, from being speechless to helping the dangers.

This is the current situation of Bao Tao.

He shouted, and with the cavalry of the Left Army, he suddenly came out of his formation, making a loud noise, and the front of the army directly faced the command location of the Left Army.

The Xiliang soldiers, who were exhausted in the attack in front of them, were indeed defeated at once and were invincible. Once the cavalry led by Bao Tao was attacked, they quickly dispersed to both sides.

Seeing the enemy general who was commanding the Left Army, he was panicking and turning his horse's head, as if he wanted to slap the horse and flee, and the horn of the Left Army was also blew. He laughed and indeed, he had to save the crisis, but after all, he had to rely on the troops of their Bao family.

But soon, Bao Tao couldn't laugh.

The cavalry on both sides of the Xiliang army came much faster than he thought.

The Xiliang infantry that quickly dispersed to both sides did not disperse because of his assault, but were making way for the cavalry who were galloping from the left and right wings and trying to cut off their return.

Ma Lin and Xu Huang came with cavalry, and the Feilian cavalry and Xiliang cavalry under their command were all more elite than Bao Tao's Taishan cavalry, not to mention that Yan Xing set up a plan in advance, waiting for the Cao army's left army to take the initiative to counterattack.

The cavalry that Bao Tao attacked was almost instantly pinched the head and tail by Xu Huang and Ma Lin's cavalry, cut it into three pieces. The Taishan cavalry, who were dispersed in formation, were in panic and fought on their own. They were soon forced into a group of infantry soldiers who were rushing up again with spears.

These Taishan cavalry were surrounded by the Xiliang army, and their horses were crowded and chaotic, and they could not even turn the horse's head, let alone urged the horses. For a moment, they rode on the horse's back, and the larger cavalry were like scarecrows trembling in the strong wind, struggling, and under the dense spears, they were all distracted, and none of them were spared.

"No, the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side had already planned it, and they were waiting for the cavalry that we were waiting for assault!"

Bao Xin, who was closely watching the changes in the battlefield situation in the left army formation, had already noticed something was wrong when Bao Tao led less than a thousand cavalry of Taishan cavalry and rushed into the enemy formation. He was setting up a pocket formation and letting Bao Tao get into it!

Bao Xin quickly ordered that Mingjin urged Bao Tao to retreat with one blow and quickly return to the army, so as not to be surrounded by the strange Xiliang army.

But as soon as the gong sounded, the situation suddenly reversed. The charge horses could stop their four hooves, and it was too late.

The Xiliang soldiers were skilled in horses and could fight in formation. They were even more at ease when they got off the horse. Almost at the moment when Bao Tao rode the horse and broke into the formation, Xu Huang and Ma Lin each led a team of Xiliang cavalry to re-mount the horse, and rushed over from the passage where the infantry on both sides dispersed.

Seeing his brother's cavalry team being intercepted into three sections, Bao Xin was anxious, but he himself was in a situation and could not sit idly by. At present, his cavalry was only surrounded by the Xiliang soldiers. As long as the rescue was timely, half of the troops could still break back alive with the help of horsepower. However, if he sat down, not only would his brother Bao Tao's troops be wiped out, but the morale of the troops in the left army, the central army and the right army would be greatly reduced. This stalemate situation would be even more difficult to maintain.

Bao Xin personally ordered the troops to rescue his brothers, and the troops were dispatched in large numbers. The left army, like a sudden bulging stone, caused another huge wave on the turbulent battlefield.

Xu Rong, who was in the central army, soon noticed this. He was standing on the high ground, pointed his hand at his right wing and laughed loudly:

"The bait has been put down for so long, and the fish has finally taken the bait. Where is Xu Kun?"

"exist!"

Xu Kun rode out excitedly and saluted on the horse. He could see clearly the situation on the right wing just now. The troops of the left army of Cao's army finally couldn't stand it anymore. They actually took the initiative to attack, but Yan Xing, who was shown to be slow, was stuck tightly. The troops of both sides had already fought into a group. The original Cao's formation had been disturbed, and there were flaws on the side. Just send a cavalry and drive straight in, and insert the ribs of the opponent's formation from the side. Cao's army will definitely be defeated!

And driving and rushing, attacking and breaking through sideways is not the specialty of the Western Liang cavalry!

"You bring three hundred iron cavalry to break the formation of the rebel left army first, then use the force of breaking the formation, and detour to attack the rebel central army's formation!"

"promise!"

Xu Kun took the order loudly, turned around and lit up the three hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry who were ready to go, and roared out of the central army and took the left army formation of Cao's army.

At the same time, Xu Rong ordered the Xiliang soldiers to work together on three sides to launch a general attack. The Xiliang soldiers attacked like a tide amid the sound of the horns, one after another, extremely fierce, forcing the Cao army's central army and the right army to shrink and retreat.

Cao's Central Army Formation

After the launch of the full-scale general attack of the Western Liang army, Cao Cao, looking at the whole situation, saw a torrent rippling up smoke and dust, roaring from his front and taking his left army formation.

But Cao Cao was powerless to rescue him.

The mobility of the Western Liang cavalry is far greater than that of their own troops. They can barely resist the battle in the death row. Once it turns into a melee of running and intercepting, the infantry of their own side will immediately collapse.
