After Wang Kai received Cao Cao's reply, he was also a little confused.
"This Cao Mengde is really weird."
Immediately, Wang Kai summoned Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia to continue the discussion.
After the two of them heard what Wang Kai said, they were both a little surprised.
Soon, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, Cao Mengde probably wants to decide the outcome with our army, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the Northern Wei Dynasty loses the Central Plains."
"I can see it too."
Helpless, Wang Kai immediately wrote a letter of war and invited Cao Cao to fight to the death.
After Cao Cao received Wang Kai's letter of challenge, he immediately smiled.
“I didn’t expect that I achieved my original goal after going full circle.”
After sighing with emotion, Cao Cao also ordered the entire army to prepare for the Xia army.
The generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty immediately began to prepare for war after receiving the military order.
At the same time, Xia Jun also began to prepare for a decisive battle.
Three days later.
The Xia army began to form formation outside the city.
At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led by Cao Cao, also left the city and began to form formations.
Soon, the Xia and Wei armies got into position.
At this time, Wang Kai stepped forward and shouted: "Cao Mengde, if we fight again today, I will definitely capture you alive."
After hearing Wang Kai's cry, Cao Cao immediately responded: "Wang Xinhao, we still don't know who will win."
Wang Kai immediately laughed when he heard this.
After that, Wang Kai and Cao Cao began to command their troops to prepare for battle.
This time, neither Wang Kai nor Cao Cao sent generals to fight. They directly commanded their troops to start the attack.
Let’s talk about Xia Jun first.
Wang Kai knew that the Wei army was short of troops, so he asked his cavalry to form a wild goose formation and charge.
When Cao Cao saw that the Xia army had sent cavalry to take the lead, he immediately ordered his infantry to form a circular formation to resist the enemy.
As for the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao planned to keep them as backup.
When Wang Kai saw that Cao Cao only sent infantry to resist the enemy, he immediately laughed. He felt that Cao Cao looked down on him.
Soon, the Xia army's cavalry collided with the Northern Wei infantry.
Facing the charge of the Xia army's cavalry, the infantry of the Northern Wei Dynasty fought forward and succeeded in stopping the charge of the Xixia cavalry.
When Cao Cao saw that the Xia army's cavalry kept knocking away his infantry, he immediately shouted: "Send my general's order, and Qu Yi will take the lead in entering the camp to stop the Xixia cavalry."
Not long after, Cao Cao's military order reached Qu Yi's ears.
After receiving the order, Qu Yi immediately took the lead in ascending the camp and came to the rear of the infantry to form an array.
After Qu Yi's advance camp was completed, Cao Cao immediately ordered the Northern Wei infantry to move out of the way.
Seeing this, the Xixia cavalry took advantage of the situation and began to break through.
Soon, the vanguard of the Xixia cavalry arrived in front of the Xianden camp.
When Qu Yi saw the Xixia cavalry appearing, he immediately ordered the soldiers who had ascended the camp first to start firing arrows.
When the Xixia cavalry saw Xian Deng camp appearing, it was too late for them to stop.
When they reached the shooting range of the Xianden camp, Qu Yi gave an order for the Xianden camp to start firing arrows.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of arrows went straight towards the Xixia cavalry.
The Xixia cavalry at the front was eventually shot and killed by the first camper.
The Xixia cavalry that followed saw a large number of soldiers in front of them fall down. They immediately wanted to stop advancing, but the momentum of the charge was difficult to stop immediately. They immediately rushed towards the first camp.
Facing the continuous attacks of the Xixia cavalry, the soldiers who first ascended the camp fired several rounds of arrow rain in succession.
Although the Xixia cavalry suffered heavy losses, the hands of the soldiers who first entered the camp were almost worn out.
Qu Yi saw that the soldiers who had first entered the camp could hardly keep up with the Xia army's cavalry charge, so he quickly asked Cao Cao if he could retreat.
After Cao Cao saw the signal conveyed by Qu Yi, he did not agree, because once he allowed Xian Deng camp to get out of the way, his central army might be broken through by the Xixia cavalry.
Soon, Cao Cao replied to Qu Yi and asked him to hold on for a while, because Cao Cao was already preparing to send tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Wang Kai's main formation.
After Qu Yi received Cao Cao's reply, he could only bite the bullet and lead the soldiers who had already entered the camp to defend the position.
Seeing that the momentum of the cavalry charge had slowed down, Wang Kai finally ordered the dispatch of his ace Tiger Wings.
After Xiaoguo Army Commander Li Zheng, Black Armor Cavalry Commander Zhang Shigui, and Flying Bear Army Commander Luo Cheng received Wang Kai's military order, they quickly led their troops and began to charge.
When Cao Cao saw that Wang Kai had sent the Tiger Wing Army out into battle, he immediately sent an order for Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge towards the Tiger Wing Army's cavalry.
Soon, the ace cavalry of the Xia and Wei armies began to clash.
After a while, Wang Kai and Cao Cao invested their troops and began to expand the battlefield.
Among the rebels, Yu Chigong led the soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion and drove all the way towards Cao Cao's main formation.
Because the soldiers of Jiandao Camp all wore rattan armor and held embroidered spring knives, the weapons of the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not hurt the soldiers of Jiandao Camp.
In less than a moment, the soldiers of Jiandao Camp, led by Yu Chigong, fought in front of Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao saw a group of rattan armored infantry appearing, he was a little surprised for a moment.
"Is this the strength of the Tiger Wing Army? It's like being in a deserted land among the chaotic army."
Just as Cao Cao was sighing with emotion, Yuchi Gong shouted and rushed towards Cao Cao.
Upon seeing this, Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Cao, immediately asked Ying to lead the tiger guards to fight.
When Cao Cao saw Xu Chu volunteering, he agreed without any hesitation.
Soon, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guard soldiers to fight with the Jiandaoying soldiers led by Yu Chigong.
At this time, Baima Yi's general Zhao Yun also led his cavalry and began to wander towards Cao Cao.
After a while, Baima Yicong also rushed to Cao Cao's side and started shooting arrows.
When Cao Cao saw Baima Yicong appear, he immediately ordered his soldiers to intercept him. However, Baima Yicong was one of the Thirteen Tiger Wings of Xixia, and the ordinary soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not stop Baima Yicong at all.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Cao Cao transferred Qu Yi's first camp back because the Xixia cavalry had now dispersed.
After Qu Yi retreated to Cao Cao's side, he quickly followed Cao Cao's instructions to fight Baima Yi Cong.
When Zhao Yun saw the Xianden camp led by Qu Yi appear, he immediately thought to himself: 'This man is the culprit who destroyed General Gongsun. Today he can avenge General Baima.'
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun led the white horse soldiers and started riding and shooting.
When Qu Yi saw this, he asked the soldiers who had first entered the camp to respond.
For a time, Baima Yicong and Xiandeng camp started shooting at each other.
Cao Cao saw that the battlefield was in chaos, and he immediately began to look for opportunities to break the situation.
Wang Kai was also constantly observing the movements of the Northern Wei soldiers and horses.
After a while, when Wang Kai discovered that the Northern Wei soldiers and horses could no longer withstand the Xia army's offensive, he immediately threw all his soldiers and horses into the battlefield.
As Xixia attacked with all its strength, the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty could no longer resist, not only because of the numerical superiority of Xixia soldiers and horses, but also because of the ace Tiger Wing Army's ability to break the situation.
In the end, Cao Cao failed to turn the tide of the war.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei saw that the balance of the war had tilted towards Xixia, and they immediately asked Cao Cao for instructions to retreat.
Seeing that the situation of the war could not be reversed, Cao Cao sighed helplessly, because the imagination was beautiful, but the reality was very skinny.
As Cao Cao issued the order to retreat, the troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty immediately began to withdraw towards Xiyang County.
Chapter completed!
