Chapter 404
White horse, in Zhao Yun's camp.
Zhao Yun walked around the handsome tent, and a nervous expression appeared on his face.
Xia Houlan stood next to Shuai Case, also with a serious face.
The scout sent intelligence, and Li Dian suddenly led an army of 20,000, together with Zhang Hao and Cao Hong, to surround Xianyufu and Yan Xing in Yanjin.
Yan Xing only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, surrounded by 40,000 troops, and it must be very dangerous now.
At the same time, Guandu also went to war, and Cao Cao pressed the army up. Although the white horse had not yet come out of the Wei army, Zhao Yun did not dare to be careless.
"Xia Houlan, I will leave you 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the white horse, and I will lead an army of 10,000 to aid Yanjin!" Zhao Yun suddenly said.
"Zilong, the scout has found out, Cao Cao has newly built 20,000 cavalry, but I don't know where to hide. I think he must be ready to deal with us! Xia Houlan was full of worry.
"What are the 20,000 cavalry afraid of?" Zhao Yunhun's body exuded a thick murderous aura, "Since Cao Cao's cavalry is coming against us, then I will fight a decisive battle with them!" In the face of the Xianbei Iron Horse, which time the number of enemy troops was not twice ours, or even more. Moreover, the cavalry of the Cao army has only recently been built, and ours are veterans of a hundred battles!
"Zilong,
you need to be more careful!" Zhao Yun's words made Xia Houlan also arrogant, and even a little eager to try.
"Xia Houlan, White Horse City will be handed over to you to prevent the Cao army from sneaking attack!"
"Zilong rest assured, I will definitely not let the white horse lose!"
Zhao Yun immediately left the camp tent and ordered 10,000 cavalry, but this time it was all one man and one horse, and the rest of the horses were all left in White Horse City.
War horses were very scarce, and the Han army had a total of 15,000 cavalry, all of which were one man and two horses. These cavalry were prepared by Liu Jun since he took charge of Jingzhou. The entire cavalry team expanded from the initial 1,000 to 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, and finally expanded to 10,000, and after taking Western Liang, it became closer and closer to trade with the Western Regions, coupled with the great Han rewarding cultivation and commerce, and gradually became richer, and finally expanded the cavalry to 15,000, and all of them were one man and two horses.
This battle must be a hard battle, and the distance from the white horse to Yanjin is not far, therefore, Zhao Yun will not let the extra war horse be damaged in vain.
"Report to the general, the army is assembled!" A military commander urged him to step forward and reported loudly.
"Go!" Zhao Yun waved the bright silver gun in his hand vigorously and ordered loudly.
Immediately, 10,000 cavalry rushed to Yanjin like a flood of breaking embankments.
The cavalry marched, there was no secret to speak of, the sound of horses' hooves was like a muffled thunder, rolling from the sky, and clouds of smoke and dust rose straight up among the white clouds.
After walking for more than a hundred miles, scouting the report, the Wei cavalry was found in front.
"Sure enough!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, he had already thought that Cao Cao's cavalry was to deal with him. And the soldiers besieged Yanjin, also to lure him.
However, Zhao Yun was not afraid, and if the lord Liu Jun wanted to chase the Central Plains and dominate the world, then his cavalry would have to fight to the death with Cao Cao's cavalry.
So, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers, slowed down, and slowly moved forward.
After advancing about two or three miles, I found a large area of black pressure in front of me, full of 20,000 cavalry, blocking the way.
Cavalry does not need to set up an ambush for a decisive battle, because the vast and flat area is conducive to their rush to kill, so the fight is completely strength.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Cao army, like a sharp knife, lined up in a triangular formation, pointed straight ahead.
Zhao Yun also immediately divided the cavalry into three teams, one team rushed forward, and the two teams were slightly behind and met each other.
Both sides are an impactful formation, and neither is willing to defend.
At this time, I saw a general in the column of Wei troops coming out on horseback, holding a large knife in his hand.
"Zhang Liao?" Zhao Yun was slightly surprised, Zhang Liao was originally in Xuzhou, but suddenly appeared here, it was obvious that this battle Cao Cao had made sufficient preparations.
Although most of Cao Cao's generals were northerners, only this Liao was truly proficient in cavalry combat. At the beginning, Zhang Liao led the Hezhou Wolf Horse and fought many battles with the Xiongnu and other foreign tribes at Yanmen Pass, but his light was covered by the flying general Lü Bu, but Zhao Yun would not despise Zhang Liao, and certainly would not be afraid of Zhang Liao.
"Zhao Yun, if I can fight with you, I Zhang Liao has no regrets in this life!" Zhang Liao said in a loud voice, his voice full of excitement.
For Zhao Yun, he would not persuade him to surrender, because he knew that Zhao Yun, like him, would definitely not surrender, and persuasion was sometimes an insult to such a general.
"Zhang Liao, a decisive battle with you, my heart wishes!"
At the beginning, the three major iron horses of the Great Han, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, Ding Yuan's Hezhou wolf ride, and Dong Zhuo's Western Liang iron horse were all Megatron Plug, and many people had discussed which one was better, but there was no conclusion.
Now the three major iron horses are gone, but their generals are still there, and the shadow of the white horse Yicong can be seen from the body of the Jingzhou iron horse, and Cao Cao's cavalry retains the traces of the wolf riding in Hezhou.
They will show the world, who is better?
Zhang Liao slowly raised the big knife in his hand, and Zhao Yun also raised the bright silver spear.
All the soldiers took up arms, but the Han army was richer, although there was no chopping sword, but the Han sword was by no means weaker than the chopping sword, and there were more throwers and crossbows.
The war horse felt the killing intent of the owner, and couldn't stop scratching the ground with its front hooves, ready to rush over at any time.
"Kill!"
Finally, the big knife and the big gun were swung down at the same time, and the mountain shouted like a tsunami.
Ten thousand horses galloped, the sound boomed the mountains, the Wei army cavalry had 20,000, while the Han army cavalry only had 10,000, but the momentum released by the two sides was equal.
A hint of surprise flashed on Zhang Liao's face, and he looked at his sons Zhang Hu and Cao Chun next to him.
He had never fought with the Han cavalry, but he had heard Zhang Hu and Cao Chun say that the Han army was not only brave and sharp, but even the war horses seemed to be the best in a hundred.
But now Zhang Liao had some doubts, and there seemed to be something wrong with the Han army's war horses.
The cavalry of the two sides has not yet touched, and the dense arrows have already clashed. The soldiers of the Wei army fell off their horses one after another, of course, they also shot the Han soldiers, but they were much less.
Armed with a crossbow, you can fire ten crossbow arrows in a row, and after an ordinary bow and arrow is shot once, you have to re-take the arrow, tie the string, and draw the bow. How could the cavalry of the Han army give the Wei army such a chance?
Fortunately, the speed of the cavalry was very fast, and the Wei soldiers listened to the rumbling war drums and rushed forward regardless of casualties.
The range of the projectile is not as far as the bow and arrow, but the power is much greater, those soldiers who rushed to the front, although they dodged the arrows, but were stabbed by these shotguns and fell to the horse, some even took the horse to the ground, followed by people on their backs, but soon, they were drowned out by the sound of rolling horses' hooves, and stepped on the meat mud between the moments.
Looking at all this, Zhang Liao only felt a chill in his back, and he had a concept in his heart, the cavalry of the Han army is the strongest cavalry in the world!
