Although it was a temporary army of 150,000, Cao Cao had already assigned it to his generals during the preparation period.
As close confidants, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang He and others personally commanded the army.
The time is indeed not very long, and it can be considered as personally controlling the training, which is definitely different from the ordinary rabble.
This is also the direct reason why Cao Cao was disappointed with Xiahou Dun.
The trained soldiers still fled after two rounds of arrows. One can imagine how useless they were.
Xiahou Dun's talent completely disappointed Cao Cao.
At the same time, Cao Cao also needs to recognize a reality.
A rabble is just a rabble and cannot shed its essence of being a miscellaneous soldier.
To deal with Liu Zhang with a mob, you must go all out, otherwise it will only increase the laughingstock.
This was the intention of sending three generals and 30,000 troops this time.
Not long after, the 30,000-strong army was assembled.
Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Zhang He all showed their talents.
The soldiers were less flustered and unaffected by their recent defeat.
In terms of commanding soldiers, the talents of Xiahou Yuan and the others clearly surpassed Xiahou Dun's.
This relieved Cao Cao's worried heart a lot.
"Miaocai, Zixiao, Junyi, the outcome of the three of you is crucial to the entire army. Remember not to retreat without permission!"
In order to show the importance he attached to this attack, Cao Cao stepped forward to give orders after the assembly.
"The trapped camp will definitely attack with arrows like this. You must be mentally prepared!"
The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Don't worry, King Wei, we will fight to the death and not retreat!"
"good!"
Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.
Just this unquestionable tone can make people feel at ease.
"If the three generals can make meritorious deeds, they will surely be generous with their rewards!"
"Thank you, King Wei!"
After thanking him, Xia Houyuan took the initiative to stand up.
"Zixiao and Junyi, how about I attack from the front, and you two attack from the two wings?"
"this..."
Zhang He and Cao Ren were both reluctant.
Who doesn’t know that frontal attack has the greatest impact?
Xia Houyuan quickly explained.
"The two generals are not competing for merit, but for Yuan Rang!"
"I will avenge Yuan Rang's shame!"
After hearing this, the two of them could no longer refute.
"Okay, let's go with General Yi Xiahou."
"Thank you!"
Cao Cao was very touched by the kindness of the three people, and he also opened his mouth to explain to Xia Houyuan.
"Zixiao, Junyi, a frontal attack is not easy!"
"You saw just now that the arrows trapped in the camp are shot from the front. Therefore, the front will bear most of the attacks."
Zhang He and Cao Ren suddenly understood and did not argue with Xia Houyuan.
Cao Cao turned to look at Xia Houyuan.
"Miaocai, you also need to be more careful and don't let the arrows defeat the army."
Since Xia Houyuan dared to block the frontal attack mission, how could he be unprepared?
"Don't worry, King Wei!"
Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Go ahead and show me what you are capable of!"
"As you command!"
The three of them left to take command of their soldiers.
"Beat the drum and help in the battle!"
Boom, boom, boom. . .
The war drums beat, echoes continued in the valley, and the scene suddenly became tense.
The originally peaceful valley suddenly felt like a war was breaking out.
At the same time, it also inspired the courage in the hearts of Wei soldiers.
Xia Houyuan held the sword in his hand and cupped his hands to both sides.
"General Zhang, General Cao, please give me the two wings!"
"General Xiahou, despite the attack, leave the two wings to us!"
"Thank you!"
Due to the limitations of the valley, it was impossible to spread out all 30,000 troops.
Therefore, the division of troops into three groups is actually no different from one group.
The three armies were completely lined up.
Even so, it cannot be fully developed.
After the army moved forward, chaos immediately appeared.
The local restrictions are too obvious.
Only with a small number of people can we command like an arm.
There are many people, but it cannot be fully used.
The crowded situation is really a big problem for a group of people who are not very qualified.
After all, Xiahou Dun only led 10,000 people just now, and the troops were divided into three groups, so the advance was somewhat scattered.
Fortunately, these 30,000 troops had already been arranged in order, and Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, and Cao Ren were leading them in front.
In general, we can move forward step by step.
In order to stabilize the military formation and prevent the march from becoming an obstacle to the army, the three generals deliberately lowered their speed in the front.
And after intentionally widening the distance between the front and rear, the confusion was greatly alleviated.
This scene made Cao Cao very happy.
It is extremely rare to be able to march thirty thousand people steadily in such a narrow place.
If the army was led by idle people, chaos would have already occurred!
There may even be situations where they trample on each other and harm each other.
The three of them were able to restrain the soldiers so efficiently without even making a single noise, which shows their intentions.
The hanging heart was completely relieved.
Cao Cao sent 30,000 people, but there was nothing he could do.
Only by relying on the advantage of the human sea can the lethality of arrows be effectively curbed.
Especially the disadvantage of being able to maximize the level shot.
Cao Cao didn't believe it. Thousands of people trapped in the camp could shoot tens of thousands of Wei troops to death!
As long as they rush closer, it will be the end of the Han army!
"Bang the drum to help the battle!"
Boom, boom, boom. . .
When the sound of war drums became fierce again, the Wei army's front army had already marched to half the distance.
It was also the location of the counterattack in the Han camp just now.
Xia Houyuan immediately dismounted from his horse, took the shield passed by his own soldiers, and moved forward as the vanguard of the front army.
Use your body to clear the way for all soldiers!
This move immediately made the blood of the soldiers behind him boil.
Even the generals are not afraid of death, what do they have to fear?
For a moment, the former soldiers showed fierce expressions and their pace continued to quicken.
Prepare to show off your bravery and courage in front of the general.
Perhaps the Han army sensed Wei Jun's appeal. In an instant, arrows filled with black light emerged crazily from the shield.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh. . . !
Countless arrows flew out in a flat shot, instantly covering Xia Houyuan's entire front formation.
The bravery in the hearts of the Wei army soldiers has not faded, so naturally their expressions will not change upon hearing this.
Moreover, the mighty image of the general Xia Houyuan still stayed in his heart.
But they forgot one thing.
