    Three days passed by in a flash.

    Cao Cao and Sun Ce explored the location of the battle three hours in advance. It was actually an open space, enough to accommodate 400,000 people fighting.

    There¡¯s nothing special about it!

    This is the most suspicious thing.

    No matter how they searched, they could not find the ambush.

    Logically speaking, this is a good thing, but Cao Cao always felt uneasy.

    After all, this is a battle of fate.

    The Allies are now in a defensive posture. If they lose another battle, they will be deprived of the right to defend.

    So everyone is very cautious.

    Cao Cao and Sun Ce discussed and decided to arrive an hour early in order to deal with any possible incidents.

    "Isn't the Marquis of Dongyang not coming?" Cao Hong asked. An hour in advance is a bit early, but we should always line up half an hour in advance, right?

    Cao Cao suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, he was tricked by Dongyang Hou.

    ?? Could it be that Dongyang Hou¡¯s plan is to drag them here so that they can attack Yanzhou?

    After all, there are 300,000 troops here.

    But Cao Cao quickly vetoed it. It was so close to Chen Liu that if any problem occurred, help could be quickly returned.

    " Moreover, the guard of Chenliu County is Xia Houyuan, a man worthy of Cao Cao's trust.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang will definitely come." Sun Ce said firmly, "Isn't the time not yet here?"

    Where do you get your confidence?

    Cao Hong wanted to ask, but Sun Ce's status was extraordinary and he couldn't offend him.

    Suddenly, the scout came to report:

    "Report, Dongyang Hou's army has left the camp and is fully equipped with armor!"

    Sure enough, Marquis Dongyang will not break the promise.

    Sun Ce could not help but tighten his grip on the spear.

    This time, Jingzhou¡¯s military lineup is extremely luxurious, including generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Pan Zhang, and Wei Yan. The latter three are talents discovered by Sun Ce. They have good abilities and were entrusted with important tasks by Sun Ce.

    Especially Wei Yan, who has outstanding martial arts skills and good command of troops, but his qualifications are still relatively young.

    Cao Cao's military formation was not bad either. Even if Xiahou Dun was far away in Taishan County, Cao Ren stayed in Chang'an, Xiahou Yuan defended Zhao Yun, and Yu Jin supported Luoyang, there were still generals such as Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, and Xu Huang fighting.

    "No matter what plots the Marquis of Dongyang has, we will use this battle to crush him!" Cao Cao said with high spirits.

    "All of you will obey your orders!" the generals replied.

    At this moment, Cao Cao was in a surging mood and couldn't restrain himself.

    However, Zhou Yu caught one point and asked: "What does it mean to have complete armor?"

    The general army is not qualified to wear armor.

    Liu Ke changed his mind and equipped the Yangzhou Main Battle Corps with armor.  But these armors are only for defense.

    "The army of Marquis Dongyang is entirely covered in iron armor." the scout replied.

    "Tell me again the scene you saw in detail," Zhou Yu said.

    The scout described it in detail.

    When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed drastically. He had never heard of this kind of armor!

    "It seems that this is what Dongyang Hou relies on." Zhou Yu said.

    During the march, Liu Ke kept using carriages to transport heavy armor, so Zhou Yu did not get first-hand information.

    "I have never heard that relying on armor can defeat three times the enemy. In this battle, the Marquis of Dongyang will definitely lose." Cao Cao said sonorously and forcefully.

    He not only boosts morale, but also motivates himself.

    "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. However, according to the description, this type of armor is heavy. Therefore, we should adopt a strategy of tiring the enemy and fight a protracted war." Zhou Yu suggested.

    An ordinary general wearing such armor would be out of breath if he continued fighting for an hour, let alone an ordinary soldier.

    "Isn't this too cowardly?" Cao Zhen said.

    "It's better than defeat." Zhou Yu said coldly.

    "Don't get me wrong, Governor, I have no other intentions. I just want to defeat Dongyang Marquis in one go." Cao Zhen said.

    "Hey, how can Dongyang Hou be defeated so easily? You are a fledgling boy!" Wei Yan said sarcastically.

    Cao Zhen wanted to say something else, but Cao Cao glared back.

    "Shut up! The war is coming, don't disturb the morale of the army!" Sun Ce shouted.

    Wei Yan retreated.

    Soon the Yangzhou Army entered the designated location and began to arrange their troops.

      In fact, Liu Ke had already arranged it before he came, and now he is just making slight adjustments.

    The two sides looked at each other from a distance, and it was completely dark. It was impossible to see how many people and horses there were.

    In one person¡¯s sight, there is no difference between hundreds of thousands of people and more than 300,000 people.

    Liu Ke clapped his horse and stepped forward, with Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci following behind him.

    Opposite, Cao Cao and Sun Ce also stood out.

    "You two, long time no see." Liu Ke greeted calmly.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is well and well, and his style is still the same." Cao Cao said with emotion, because of gout, he felt much older.

    "As for Liu Ke, what was he like since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and what he is still like now.

    It¡¯s so enviable!

    Sun Ce responded with clasped fists.

    "If we are ready, there is no need for us to talk nonsense, we will see the real deal." Liu Kedao, you know, the armor on the heavy infantry can crush people to death, and every breath consumes energy.

    ??It will be of no benefit to the Yangzhou Army to delay.

    "Why are the Marquis of Dongyang so anxious? You and I have not seen each other for a long time, and we finally got the chance. We should have a high-minded talk. The ancient heroes cherish each other, and that's nothing more than that." Cao Cao said.

    The reason why Cao Cao was so long-winded was because Zhou Yu made suggestions to delay time.

    After seeing the military appearance of the Yangzhou Army, Cao Cao was even more eager to implement this concept.

    These armors are not to be taken lightly at first glance.

    It¡¯s a pity that Liu Ke knew Cao Cao¡¯s little thoughts clearly and said: ¡°In a quarter of an hour, our army will launch an attack. If the Prime Minister is interested, he can stay and chat after the battle.¡±

    After saying that, Liu Ke rode away without stopping for a moment.

    The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched. What do you mean by staying and chatting?

    Becoming a prisoner?

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is still as arrogant as ever. In this case, let's teach him a profound lesson!" Cao Cao said.

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

    Cao Cao was good at martial arts in the past, but after becoming prime minister, he was entangled in trivial matters and was no longer as good as before.

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

    Even here, Cao Cao could feel an inexplicable pressure.

    ¡°Subsequently, he clearly saw the Yangzhou Army gathering into a dense phalanx.

    He actually changed the formation with the sound of the horn!

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

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

    On the contrary, the Yangzhou cavalry remained motionless, seeming to be waiting for an opportunity.

    Seeing this scene, Cao Cao was actually a little happy. Dongyang Hou actually wanted to use 50,000 troops to resist the attack of 300,000 people.

    This is no longer arrogance, but self-destruction!

    According to the plan, the Allied forces were the first to dispatch cavalry, including Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

    When cavalry fights infantry, isn¡¯t it true that the older brother fights the younger brother?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
