However, this does not mean that the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou is superior or inferior to the iron cavalry of Xiliang, because the uses of these two types of cavalry are completely different and cannot be compared.

At present, Zhang Liao's two hundred new "Bingzhou Wolf Riders", who had spent a lot of effort training, were rushing to Shaobi, trying to seize the favorable terrain to occupy Shaobi in front of the military horses at Ji Lingqiao.

The two cavalry generals who commanded the two hundred wolf cavalry in Bingzhou are not idle people, they are one of the eight strong generals of Lu Bu in the past, although they are counted down among the eight strong generals, but it can only be said that these two people are slightly weaker in the ability to lead the army to fight, but it does not mean that the martial arts of these two people are the bottom among the eight strong generals.

These two people are Cheng Lian and Wei Yue! In the past, Lu Bu commanded the two powerful generals who commanded the wolf riders of the state!

Eight strong generals such as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and even Hao Meng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng all existed as commanders under Lu Bu. Only Cheng Lian and Wei Yue may be slightly inferior in command, or longer in the battle charge, they are the heroes who follow Lu Bu to charge left and right all the year round!

Although the avenue is flat, but because the north of Shaobi is a depression, there are many rivers, canals, fields and ponds, and the direction is tortuous, and there are many turns along the way. And because of the multi-water network irrigation, the crops on both sides of the road are flourishing and the trees are luxuriant.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue rode side by side, and the two hundred wolf riders behind followed unhurriedly. These two hundred horsemen are not like their colleagues Xiliang Iron Cavalry, even the normal march pays great attention to the neat and parallel formation, but is very natural to ride the horse, although the whole is not scattered, but there is absolutely no way to see how much discipline.

Because when an army marches in general, and especially a rapid march, silence is required in the ranks. But it is obvious that no one in this cavalry seems to have heard of this rule, and you scold me and laugh during the gallop, and even on the back of a horse at high speed, you push and shove, and none of the shouts and scolding are not foul language, and there is no sense of risk in pushing and shoving. It's as if each of them isn't tough enough to fully reveal their individuality.

Regarding this situation, Cheng Lian Wei Yue, who was the leader, was accustomed to it. The expressions of the two seemed to be saying that if it wasn't for that, it wouldn't be normal.

It was another turn, and the wolf riders still looked careless, laughing and scolding.

Cheng Lian Wei Yue had just turned the direction, and the horse's hooves had only taken two steps, and the wind suddenly rose!

It was the sound of blades of grass being cut, the sound of the wind breaking.

Cheng Lian Wei Yue, who was very familiar with this kind of voice, almost didn't look around, and his first reaction was to bow down and draw his saber.

The four or five wolf riders behind Cheng Lian Wei Yue were also the first to hear the wind, but their first reaction was to look at the trees and grass on the side of the road first.

When they saw a strong crossbow poking out of the grass, the black wooden poles were already stuck in them.

Behind the pole was a large sword feather, and in the front was a lump of lime wrapped in cloth. This is Zhang Xiujun's drill arrow.

Such lime arrows shoot slower than ordinary arrows, but they are also difficult for ordinary people to dodge. Especially in the case of this kind of dark arrow.

The archery skills of the ambushers were obviously very high, as the arrows fired were directed at the people on the horses, and few arrows were shot at the heads of people or horses. The four or five wolf riders who followed Cheng Lian Wei Yue were each hit by at least four or five arrows, all of which were arrows in important places on their chests and backs.

In contrast, although Cheng Lian and Wei Yue faced many arrows, Cheng Lian missed an arrow, and Wei Yue was only grazed by a lime arrow on his left arm, leaving a faint lime mark.

At this moment, most of the Bingzhou wolf riders who hadn't turned the corner didn't know what was happening in front of them, but the angry scolding of the unlucky ones who were hit by the arrow instantly reminded all the Bingzhou wolf riders behind them.

In the blink of an eye, a second wave of arrows was fired. But at the same time, the wolf riders who did not turn the bend stopped cursing, grabbed the reins of their horses and moved their horses' heads, shouted to each other some inaudible words, and galloped down the road in groups of three or five, and plunged into the fields and bushes by the roadside.

There were no obvious signs of human movement in the fields and trees along the roadside, and there were no hidden people inside. There are only thirty light soldiers of the Ji Ling Army who are ambushed here, and their weapons are only short bows and small crossbows, and they only wear a layer of light leather armor.

Seeing that the wolf rider reacted quickly, three or five groups avoided the possible ambush on the side of the road, and attacked in a roundabout way to search for the ambush. The thirty light soldiers immediately raised their weapons and stood up in their hiding places. Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who began to shout and organize their subordinates to fight, not only cursed, but then expanded the search area, and after confirming that only these thirty short and light soldiers from Huainan were making trouble, they scolded a few times angrily, and then beckoned their subordinates to shout cavalry to continue to rush to Shaobei.

A quarter of an hour later, twenty more Huainan light soldiers ambushed, still hurting people with hidden arrows. But this time, Cheng Lian Wei Yue and his Bingzhou wolf cavalry were already vigilant, and they only lost two cavalrymen, and continued to march on the road.

It was also taboo to march and fight "again and again", but the Huainan army, whose purpose was to harass, was not afraid of any taboos, and carried out a third ambush after two ambushes with little effect. This time the size was a little bigger, but not that big, but fifty people, squatting in the grass in the depression and firing dark arrows.

This time, the wolf cavalry of the state only lost five or six people, and relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, it was easy to force these fifty Huainan soldiers to advance and retreat, and they could only be captured.

The three times to deal with the ambush and the state wolf ride took more than a quarter of an hour. That is, in this extra quarter of an hour, the four hundred and fifty light soldiers under the command of Qiao Rui Chen Lan finally intercepted a favorable terrain after constantly interspersing fields and fruit forest trails and wading through rivers and rivers.

This section of the terrain is a little higher, and it is a sloping area, which can be regarded as an easy to defend and difficult to attack within a radius of 100 miles. This slope is also a necessary part of the road to Shaobi. In the section before this slope, the Huainan soldiers can also rely on the terrain and sheep intestine trail to intersperse, but after this slope, the road in the future is to go straight to Shaobi, and there are no twists and turns. With two small short legs, it is no longer possible to race four thick horse legs.

When he saw that hundreds of foot soldiers suddenly appeared on the highest slope along the way, Cheng Lian Wei Yue's first reaction was - Ji Lingjun was cheating!

But when they got a little closer, they could clearly see that these hundreds of foot soldiers were wearing the lightest leather armor equipment, and everyone was blushing and panting, but they all dispelled Ji Lingjun's idea of secretly hiding people to cheat. There are even several good deeds who prefer incidents and directly coaxed: "Huainan boys, two little short legs race four horse legs!" ”

Cheng Lian Wei Yue naturally recognized the two "enemy generals" in the center of the hundreds of foot soldiers in front of him, General Qiao Rui, and Chen Lan, the general of the Huainan Army.

However, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue did not take Qiao Rui and Chen Lan seriously, even if Qiao Rui was a general, he was a lot higher than the two of them. But Cheng Lian, who regarded himself as Wen Hou Xiao, did not take this "narrow road encounter" seriously.

Although the "enemy army" in front of him was more than twice as large as his own, there were at least six or seven hundred people. But in the face of the natural gap between cavalry and infantry, especially light elite cavalry and light foot soldiers, the numerical gap between the two sides can be erased.

What's more, the one hundred and ninety elite light riders behind Cheng Lian Wei Yue are not ordinary elite light riders.

The fierce men of the Xiliang Army are very common, and among the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, hundreds of them are selected to be the most fierce and good at riding, so they are used as wolf riders in Xinjizhou.

After several months of high-standard food supply with big fish and meat, and several months of hard training far beyond the training level of ordinary elite soldiers, 200 people were selected from the best of them and officially formed the new Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

I don't disclose here how high the cut-off rate of the wolf riders in Bingzhou is, but it is only said that Zhang Xiu specially approved Zhang Liao's two hundred good horses, but after two or three months, half of the war horses were sent to the rear army because of various inexplicable disabilities, and became an extra meal for Zhang Liao's soldiers.

In the past, the cavalry of Zhang Xiujun regarded them as their second life, but after they were picked into the hands of General Zhang Wenyuan, they were in just two months, and they never became the meat of General Zhang's soldiers because of any war. If the original owners of these horses knew that they had eaten dinner in their stomachs were the beloved horses that had accompanied him for thousands of days and nights, they might have a moth.

……

Not to mention this, the experience behind the wolf riding of two hundred states. Let's just say that now, in these two hundred wolf rides, in fact, only a small half of the knight's mount is a real good horse, and the other half is prepared by Zhang Liao himself.

Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, and the two powerful generals who led these two hundred cavalry to slaughter a cottage of thousands of people in Jiujiang half a month ago, have never taken these "Yuan Shu surrendering troops" in their eyes now.

Ahem, although in fact, Cheng Lian Wei Yue himself is much higher than Qiao Rui Chen Lan's grade, but the two generals who have personally accompanied the flying general Lu Fengxian in dozens of battles are qualified enough to despise the former Huainan generals who have never had any special achievements.

In the same way, the contempt for the quality of the Huainan soldiers who lost more and won less seems to have become the subconscious of most people in the world, so I won't say much.

Facing the cold eyes of the two hundred horsemen, Qiao Rui Chen Lan and the seven hundred Huainan infantry quickly felt the contempt and disapproval from the other party's eyes. But nothing seems to be enough to reverse this long-held perception. Therefore, when the undisciplined people in the Bingzhou wolf cavalry shouted and provoked, the Huainan soldiers just grabbed the weapons in their hands, and no one replied, and they all trembled and faced the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

The scene forms a kind of confrontation between sound and silence. The thick nervous lines of the Bingzhou wolf riders were still unscrupulously provocative and taunted the Huainan soldiers who were generally short and short, but the Huainan soldiers only responded silently.

Both sides are light troops, and both wear the lightest and most mobile light leather armor. But what we need to understand is that one of the functions of cavalry is to kill and injure infantry to a greater extent, especially light cavalry, which is a branch of the army that is specially used to cover and kill infantry to expand the damage. In addition to the spearmen who specialize in restraining the cavalry, even the heavy armor soldiers are enough to choke in the face of the cavalry, not to mention the most unprotected light soldiers, the most afraid of cavalry.

And the situation at this time seems to be a battle without suspense.

Although there was a difference in numbers, this was not enough to enable the infantry to rely on the density of the group against the cavalry. For two hundred light horsemen, at least one thousand foot soldiers must be gathered in order to have the effect of countering. If the foot soldiers were all light soldiers, then at least fifteen hundred.

Obviously, even if these 700 light soldiers formed a dense formation, it would be difficult to compete with these 200 light cavalry. After all, the light cavalry is not stupid, they will not rush into the dense infantry formation, and always implement the tactics of plundering the formation first, so as to achieve the effect of killing and discharging chaos and then make a big move.

is not dominant in numbers, and the natural restraint of the troops makes it a big question mark whether the Huainan light soldiers can fight with the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou!

Coupled with the objective gap in the general size of the two armies, and the subjective subconscious of the Huainan soldiers who are overwhelmed, all cast a shadow on the possibility of victory for the Huainan light soldiers under the command of Qiao Rui Chen Lan!
