The wine glass in Cao Cao's hand fell to the ground, and his face was condensed for a moment of astonishment.

Cao Ang's expression changed with horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

The calm and strategizing look on Xun Yu's face also fell apart at this moment.

It turned into endless astonishment.

Ma Chao's three generals, they were defeated?

How is this possible?

You know, among the 20,000 cavalry, there are nearly 1,500 heavy armored cavalry prepared.

With heavy armor and cavalry, the Yan army's repeated crossbows were useless.

Since Lian Nu was useless, why did Ma Chao and the others lose?

In an instant.

Cao Cao and his ministers fell into extreme shock and confusion.

The next moment, there was an uproar in the hall

"Why?"

"Why did Ma Chao and the others lose?"

"The king gave them more than 1,500 heavy armored cavalry, why did they still lose?"

Cao Cao jumped up and roared with excitement and anger.

The ministers were also in an uproar, questioning and shouting.

Xun Yu was the first to calm down, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely strange. It’s better to go to Ma Mengqi and the others to ask questions first."

Cao Cao also calmed down a little. He didn't have time to wait for Ma Chao to enter the city, so he immediately got up and went to the north gate in person. He climbed up to the north gate. He raised his eyes and scanned it. The last trace of luck was wiped out.

His cavalry did come back.

There were more than 20,000 when they left. When the cavalry came back, there were only more than 10,000 people.

This means that nearly half of the cavalry were lost.

Cao Cao really couldn't figure out what method the Yan army used to kill half of them in one battle. The cavalry!

How could his cavalry legion be so defeated?

In just a moment.

When the defeated army entered the city, Generals Ma Chao and Zhang Yan also rushed to the city in panic and fell at Cao Cao's feet.

"Where is Wen Chou?"

Cao Cao could tell something was wrong at a glance.

Ma Chao and Zhang Yan looked at each other, and they both sighed. No one dared to say a word.

"What happened to Wen Chou?"

Cao Cao sensed something was wrong and asked sharply again.

Ma Chao had no choice but to sigh truthfully:

"Reporting back to the king, Wen Chou fought to the death for the Wei Dynasty, but was beheaded by the Yan general Zhao Yun!"

Boom!

A sap hit him hard on the forehead.

Cao Cao staggered and took half a step back.

Wen Chou, such a Hebei general, was finished like this?

Or was it because of Zhao Yun, that one ? Killed by Wen Chou's old enemy?

Cao Cao looked dazed and shocked, as if he couldn't believe that this was actually true.

"Why did you lose?"

"Did they follow the pre-agreed tactics and use heavy armored cavalry to clear the way to resist the Yan army's repeated crossbows?"

_

_

_ With the addition of 1,500 heavy cavalry, the Yan army's repeated crossbows should be useless.

So the question arises.

Since they are equipped with heavy armored cavalry, how did the Yan army defeat their 20,000 cavalry?

"It's a tripping nail!"

"When the Yan army was about to fight, they fired tens of thousands of iron weapons called horse-tripping nails. Our heavy armor (cgag) cavalry was destroyed by these objects!"

Zhang Yan reported it first.

This information came from the scouts he sent to spy after the two of them retreated.

"Horse tack?"

Whether it was Cao Cao or Xun Yu, everyone's eyes widened.

Those eyes seemed to have heard a fairy tale.

They were confused and puzzled.

"What kind of horse-tripping nails are there that can break through our heavy armored cavalry?"

Cao Cao was still confused and asked with his eyes wide open.

"This is the tripping nail!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Ma Chao hurriedly took out an iron weapon from his arms and presented it to Cao Cao.

The horse-tripping nail was picked up from the battlefield by the scout who risked his life.

Ma Chao He brought it all the way to Yecheng, and now he dedicated it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took the gadget and played with it in his hand, with deep confusion in his eyes.

"Such a little thing can actually break through our heavy armored cavalry?"

Cao Cao murmured to himself, racking his brains and couldn't figure out the mystery.

He had to hand the horse-tripping nail to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and his eyes flew.

Suddenly.

He With his eyes focused, he figured out the reason

"This horse-snapping nail is made of four nails. After it is thrown out, one nail will point upward."

"If the hoof of our war horse steps on this hoof, it will pierce the hoof."

"At this moment, our heavy armored cavalry will be easily defeated by the Yan army!"

"This horse tripping nail is truly an exquisite artifact!"

"Your Majesty, this thing must have been made by Deng Mu!"[]

Xun Yu discovered the mystery of the horse tack and looked at Cao Cao with shock in his eyes.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, took the horse tack again, and savored every word Xun Yu said. finally.

He understood the mystery of this horse-snapping nail.

The 150,000 grains and fodder turned out to be the bait set by Liu Bei.

The purpose was just to lure his 20,000 cavalry here.

And Deng Mu must have expected that they would use heavy armored cavalry to deal with the Yan army's repeated crossbows.

So Deng Mu created this horse-tripping nail artifact.

Just so that when the battle comes, his heavy armored cavalry can be defeated effortlessly.

This is Deng Mu’s overall strategy

"Damn it, I fell into the trap again~~"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and cursed..
