Dian Wei and Zhou Yu, who were in the middle army, advanced all the way and killed Cao Cao's confidant general Xia Houyuan outside Xiling City.

Although Xiahou Yuan's military strength is not as good as that of Xu Chu and his brother Xiahou Dun, and he can only rank third in Wei State, his ability to lead troops in battle is much stronger than that of Xu Chu, and even slightly better than Xiahou Dun.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan had a very high status in the hearts of Wei soldiers. With Xiahou Yuan's death in battle, the morale of the Jingzhou defenders was in chaos.

Moreover, there was no general who could lead the soldiers to charge into battle. Even if Xun You had all kinds of strategies, it would be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. The Wei army had to retreat steadily in Jingzhou.

But as the saying goes, the house leaked and it rained continuously. The Wei army's battle in Jingzhou was not going well, and they also lost more than they won in Xuzhou.

The eastern army of the Dragon Kingdom attacking Xuzhou was composed of the super military general Ma Chao as the commander, the super counselor Xu Shu as the military advisor, with 3,000 Dragon City cavalry and 100,000 Dragon Kingdom troops.

The person who guarded Xuzhou for the Wei State was Cao Cao's top counselor Cheng Yu. Although Cheng Yu was at the top of the top counselors list, he was not a super counselor after all, and there was still a certain gap between him and Xu Shu.

Moreover, Xu Shu's hatred towards Wei was mostly focused on Cheng Yu.

After all, the reason why Cao Cao brought Xu Shu's mother to Qingzhou was Cheng Yu's idea, and it was also Cheng Yu who pretended to be Xu's mother's handwriting to trick Xu Shu into Cao Ying, so Xu Shu's hatred for Cheng Yu is definitely far greater than anyone else's. of.

For this reason, when Xu Shu learned that the defender of Xuzhou was Cheng Yu, he tried his best to destroy the defenders of Xuzhou, seize Xuzhou and kill Cheng Yu.

After Cheng Yu was defeated one after another and many places in Xuzhou fell, Cao Cao also realized the crisis in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao believed that with Cheng Yu's ability, he should be able to withstand the armies of Ma Chao and Xu Shu. The main reason why he has suffered more defeats so far is that Cheng Yu has no available men.

He is a first-level civil servant. Even if he has a clever plan, he will never be able to defeat a super general like Ma Chao without a general who can lead troops in battle.

Moreover, Ma Chao had elite heavy cavalry like the Dragon City Cavalry under him. Cao Cao also knew that it was difficult for ordinary troops to withstand the impact of the Dragon City Cavalry.

So Cao Cao sent his younger brother Cao Chun to Guangling County in Xuzhou to work with Cheng Yu to resist Ma Chao and Xu Shu.

Going to Guangling County with Cao Chun was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Wei's number one special forces unit.

The commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun, is Cao Cao's clan brother and Cao Ren's younger brother. He is good at running the army and is very talented in selecting and training soldiers. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was trained by Cao Chun.

As Cao Cao's ace unit, the Tigers and Leopards' combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers. Even any ordinary soldier of the Tigers and Leopards can serve as a mid-level general in other armies.

The weapons of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are based on the five Baipi knives that Cao Cao personally built back then, and are steel knives that have been repeatedly tempered hundreds of times.

The blades of the five Baipi knives forged by Cao Cao were made through repeated tempering. They were made of hundreds of refined steel. In the Eastern Han Dynasty when almost all weapons and armor were made of iron, these five steel knives were absolutely as good as clay. Ordinary swords and armor will definitely break with a single cut.

Although its quality is not as good as the five unique magic weapons made by Cao Cao himself, which have dragon, tiger, bear, bird, and sparrow as their recognitions and are used to ward off ominous things, the name of being able to ward off a hundred knives is enough to show that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry The weapons are absolutely extraordinary.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry not only have sophisticated weapons, but its soldiers themselves are also rare elite soldiers.

As the most elite force in Cao Cao's hands, he is called"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" because he has extremely strong combat effectiveness and is as brave as a tiger and leopard in battle.

Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was very strict in the selection and training of his soldiers. According to the"Book of Wei","The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under the supervision of Chun are all the best in the world, and they may be replaced by hundreds of people."

It can be seen from this that the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are truly the best of the best.

It is precisely because the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are so elite that Cao Cao can confidently send Cao Chun to Xuzhou, hoping to use the powerful combat power of Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to resist or even defeat the armies of Ma Chao and Xu Shu.

After Ma Chao's army captured Xiapi, they took a short rest and then marched all the way to the outside of Guangling County.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been established for a long time. When Cao Cao first occupied Yangzhou, he sent Cao Chun as commander to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to pacify the Shanyue alien tribe in Yangzhou.

At that time, the tiger and leopard cavalry faced the foreign tribes, and their powerful combat effectiveness was no weaker than that of Liu Feng's Dragon City cavalry. They drove all the Shanyue alien tribes out of Yangzhou almost effortlessly.

But even though the Tiger and Leopard Riders became famous in Yangzhou, they had not yet fought against the princes of the Central Plains, so their reputation was not obvious.

Therefore, Cao Chun also hoped to take this opportunity to step on the corpse of the Dragon City Cavalry to make the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry famous. So when Ma Chao's army arrived outside Guangling County, Cao Chun had already brought 3,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 100,000 Xuzhou Guards. The army was waiting in formation outside Guangling City.

If it were normal times and there were elite troops like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cheng Yu would definitely advise Cao Chun to attack slowly and rely on Guangling City to defend and wait for the attack.

However, in the previous battles, especially with the successive falls of Pengcheng Kingdom and Xiapi Kingdom, Cheng Yu had been defeated by Xu Shu's superb strategy.

He originally thought that with his own strategy, he would not be able to surpass himself in strategy at Xu Shu's age.

But I didn't expect that after several battles, Xu Shu would guess all his plans in advance and prepare countermeasures. However, few of Xu Shu's strategies could be guessed by him.

Therefore, Cheng Yu was so confused that he didn't notice anything wrong with Cao Chun's private battle with Ma Chao outside the city.

Before Ma Chao's army arrived at Guangling, the scouts had already discovered that Cao Chun had already lined up his tiger and leopard cavalry outside the city and was waiting.

When Ma Chao's army arrived, Cao Chun came out and shouted:"Cao Chun, the younger brother of Cao Cao, Emperor of Wei, has heard about the name of the Dragon City Iron Cavalry for a long time. Today, my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came here specially to challenge, to take a look at the world's number one cavalry. Who will get the title of Yi Jingqi?"

Ma Chao felt funny after listening to Cao Chun's words. He knew that no matter how strong the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was, it would not be able to compare with the Dragon City Iron Cavalry from the Transfer Hall.

When it comes to the best elite knight in the world, it must be the Dragon Emperor's personal guard, the Red Blood Dragon Rider.

But he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and led the Dragon City Cavalry to charge.

Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are powerful, they are only the sixth-level peak cavalry after all. They have little power to fight back against the seventh-level unit, the Dragon City Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, in this battle between dragon and tiger, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

Ma Chao also immediately found Cao Chun, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The two sides fought for more than ten rounds. In the end, Ma Chao was the superior and defeated Cao Chun with one shot.
