Four thousand cavalry were galloping on the east bank of the Baiteng River. Cheng Pu stared solemnly at Cao Jun not far away.
Due to the blockade of information, no one in Cao's army knew that Sun Quan, Cheng Pu, and Zhou Yu jointly planned to evacuate almost all the capable cavalry on the east and north defense lines of Jiangxi. Even Chang Shi Zhang Zhao was kept in the dark about this matter.
There is no good land for horse breeding in Jiangdong, but it does not prevent Sun Quan and Zhou Yu from privately visiting Hepu County in Jiaozhou. Hepu County is a rare horse breeding land in the south, and the horses transported are enough for them to build such a cavalry army.
Four thousand men and four thousand horses, this is the strongest of all the cavalry in Jiangdong. This cavalry is definitely not as good as the tiger and leopard cavalry that fought in the south and north, but it is enough to be called powerful on any battlefield. Combat strength.
Coupled with the cavalry led by the generals on the west bank, Jiangdong pressed almost all the cavalry on this battle.
And Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Cheng Pu, the three people who control the military lifeline of Jiangdong, are playing an extremely bold game. They want to take advantage of the rapid movement of cavalry to capture this army before Cao Cao in the north finds out. Cao's army penetrated deep into Jiaozhou.
Especially, the word "Cao" on the opponent's Chinese army banner.
Cheng Pu was the only person in Jiangdong who was qualified to command a large part of the army in battle. Therefore, before the war, Zhou Yu made a plan that he would command the cavalry at the bottom of the box to attack Cao Wu's headquarters.
No matter where Cao Wu was, Cheng Pu's goal in this battle was to kill him.
The battlefield on the west bank of the Baiteng River became more and more intense, and the Jiangdong Army was gradually declining. However, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu no longer cared about it. Their goal was only the Cao Zi Banner in front of them.
Cheng Pu drew his sword and shouted: "For those sons who died on the battlefield of Chibi, follow me and kill Beifu General Cao Wu!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Four thousand cavalry galloped with a chilling atmosphere, driving straight into Cao Wu's army.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
War drums were beating among Cao's army, and a young red-faced general led more than a thousand Cangwu cavalry to meet the enemy.
The red-faced general shouted: "Chang Wei Wen is here, take your orders!"
Cheng Pu snorted coldly: "A nameless person is not worth mentioning."
Cheng Pu waved his hand, and a thousand cavalrymen behind him separated to attack Wei Yan.
Wei Yan had been hiding in the snow for so long and only saw fighting on the west bank. He finally had the opportunity to make achievements here. How could he miss it? Although he knew that the Cangwu soldiers he led this time were not strong enough, he was not afraid at all and led the troops to attack.
Cheng Pu, however, led the remaining cavalry to continue the attack.
Not long after, two more generals came out of Cao's army, leading four to five thousand infantry to defend against the temporary fortifications.
It was Bao Long and Chen Ying, the generals of Jingnan.
Cheng Pu narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them. He shouted: "The bandit army is just a temporary camp, don't be afraid, just step over!"
The cavalry under his command responded loudly, and the front cavalry crashed directly into Cao Jun's camp without risking his life. The makeshift camp blocked many horses, but some of them were actually knocked out.
"Kill, kill!"
Cheng Pu waved his sword, left Bao Long and Chen Ying behind, and continued to move forward.
There were about a thousand people left to deal with the more than 4,000 infantrymen under Bao Long and Chen Ying.
Although there were few soldiers in Jiangdong, these cavalry rushed into the Cangwu soldiers who were not good at fighting, and they were still like sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, killing pieces of broken limbs.
Cheng Pu looked back and sneered in his heart, not at General Cao Wu and others, but at the fact that Cao Wu really had no available soldiers.
In the battle just now, Jiangdong Army had already tested out that Cao Wu's elite troops were all on the west bank, and those who stayed on the east bank were just Cangwu soldiers.
Now looking at the responses of Bao Long and Chen Ying, we can see that his guess was correct.
"The thieves are empty, kill them!"
Although Cheng Pu was old, he was a real warrior. He led these fierce and death-defying cavalry straight into Cao's army, getting closer and closer to Cao Wu's banner.
Suddenly, a general rushed out from Hengqi, riding a horse and holding a gun, standing in front of Cheng Pu's army.
The man shouted: "Hejian Zhang Junyi is here to learn the skills of the Jiangdong Governor!"
The flag with the word "Zhang" was flying behind him, and many soldiers followed him.
Cheng Pu was not surprised but overjoyed. He took a quick inventory and found that Zhang He had about a thousand infantry and a small number of cavalry.
Because Cao Wu's large banner is in the middle of the army, Wei Yan, Bao Long, Chen Ying, and Zhang He can mobilize all the troops and horses that can currently guard Cao Wu. I am afraid that the remaining Cangwu soldiers will There was no way to mobilize the cavalry from the front to meet him.
Jiangdong Military knew about Zhang He's village beforehand. Zhang He led the troops with a serious injury and jumped out at this time, which just proved that Cao Jun was at his wits' end.
"No matter what, kill him!"
Cheng Pu waved his hand, and the cavalry rushed into the formation, using the last remaining strength to cross Zhang He's army.
Zhang He's eyes were about to burst and he said loudly: "Rat, you dare to fight!"
Cheng Pu smiled and said: "Cheng does not want to humiliate a seriously injured person. After I deal with Cao Wuxiao'er, I will come and take your head!"
The right governor of Jiangdong fought his way to a place only a few hundred meters away from Cao Wu's great banner.
This sprint, bloody all the way, Cangwu soldiers are too weak after all. There are 15,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only more than 8,000 people in the front. Even though Zhang He and the four generals tried their best to mobilize, they can't stop so many cavalry.
The cavalry itself is strong, but when they have already charged, eight thousand men are nothing but grass.
Cheng Pu knew this very well, so he did not hesitate to divide his troops to stop Zhang He and others. When he arrived here, he still had more than 1,500 cavalry under his command.
In front of Cao Wu, there were only about two thousand infantry left.
According to previous experience, it is impossible for these infantry to block them.
And Cao Wu himself seems to have appeared out of thin air. He has no record of killing generals, and Cheng Pu is confident that he can challenge ten Cao Wus single-handedly.
As long as Cao Wuyi dies, these Cangwu soldiers will naturally collapse. Even if Zhang He is a famous general in the world, he may not be able to reorganize them even if they are seriously injured.
From this distance, he could almost see Cao Wu's face clearly on the hillside.
He wanted to see Cao Wu's panicked, weak and helpless expression, or his demeanor of trying to stay calm but actually being scared, but he saw nothing.
Cao Wu, sitting on the hillside with a golden sword, had a veiled woman squeezing his shoulders behind him.
There were only about ten guards standing behind Cao Wu, and there was no other protection.
Cao Wu ate the Jiaozhou melons and fruits on the plate in front of him and looked at Cheng Pu with contentment.
Cao Wu even waved and said hello.
Cheng Pu frowned, he instinctively felt something was wrong.
He looked at the ground to make sure there were no traps on the ground, and then made a quick decision. No matter what, he rushed here and couldn't let the scheming Cao Wu fool him.
"Huangkou kid, you hurt me Jiangdong, Chai Sang once, and Chibi once. Today, I will let you die without a place to bury!"
Cheng Pu pointed his halberd at Cao Wu, cursed angrily and charged forward.
Fifteen hundred cavalry also charged forward and soon met the last infantry.
Then, it was like they hit a mountain.
Guanqiu Jian stared at Cheng Pu calmly.
He is Cao Wu's greatest security guarantee on the east coast.
