Chapter 302: Lux
"Your Majesty, the puppet emperor Cao Rong sent Zhang He to lead 50,000 foot cavalry to support!"
In a city, the army led by Yang Yun and Zhuge Liang had just entered when they received an urgent summons from Tanma. After hearing Zhang He's name, many generals couldn't help but change their faces.
Only Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao looked as usual.
"Your Majesty, Zhang He is a famous general of the Wei State, not to be underestimated, he will lead his troops to help, and he will inevitably pass through the main road of the street pavilion. Now that our army has just captured the three counties of Longxi, and the soldiers have declined, why don't we send a general to the village to slow down Zhang He's march and give the soldiers a little time to rest?"
Zhuge Liang was the first to speak.
Ma Chao's eyes flashed, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Yang Yun saw his small movements, knew it in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "What Kong Ming said is the right way of the art of war. However, although Zhang He's 50,000 foot cavalry is elite, it has a fatal weakness!"
"What weakness?"
Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately reacted after glancing at Ma Chao.
Yes, the biggest advantage of the Shu army today is that there are peerless generals whose strength has skyrocketed, as long as they are fighting head-on in the field, with Ma Chao as the sharp charge, they can break everything.
Although Zhang He is a first-class general in the world, no matter how powerful his ability to lead troops is, there is no way to encounter Ma Chao's unreasonable charge.
The strength of Ma Chao and Huang Zhong and others is comparable to Xiang Yu in the late Qin period. And Zhang He, who is not yet at the level of Han Xin, can break the charge of a peerless military general with a heavy battle array.
"It seems that Kong Ming also guessed that if Zhang He couldn't stay out, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat the Wei army, but he actually took the initiative to send troops, this is a godsend!"
Yang Yun laughed, stood up, paced a few steps in the main hall, walking in a dragon and tiger step, and his breath was awe-inspiring, making people dare not look directly.
"Zhang Nan! I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison the three counties of Longxi. I personally led the troops to meet this famous general of the Wei State for a while!"
Yang Yun quickly made a decision and, together with Zhuge Liang, led the army eastward.
A few days later, the Shu army rushed to the main road of Jieting.
Street Pavilion is located in the key places of Longxi and Guanzhong, if the Wei army takes the Street Pavilion, it can go south to Qishan to cut off the back road of the Shu army, and the Shu army masters the Street Pavilion, it can worry about the back road, and can go east along the Weishui Road and enter Guanzhong.
On the vast land, the Shu army wearing red armor swept the world like a torrent.
In the distance, beside a wide avenue, there is a low hill. The hill is full of mountains and forests, and it is verdant.
"This is the street pavilion?"
Yang Yun's eyes swept ahead, and he suddenly felt a little emotion in his heart. On this terrain, it is no wonder that Ma Tan is reluctant to go down the mountain to the village.
In the vicinity of here, there are almost no dangerous places except for Namsan Mountain. If you go down to the village, you will face Zhang He's 50,000-foot cavalry siege.
There are not many soldiers and horses in the original timeline, even if they are in the village, they don't have much chance of winning against Zhang He.
"Pass the order down, go down to the village!"
Yang Yun came here to confront Zhang He head-on, which was different from Ma Jian in the original timeline. As long as Zhang He dares to come, he dares to go directly to him.
A day later.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard on the eastern avenue, and in less than a moment, a large group of Wei soldiers in black clothes and armor and a large number of cavalry swarmed in. These soldiers are majestic, and they are the best soldiers in the world.
When the Wei army arrived, Yang Yun, Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao and others boarded the chariot and looked into the distance. The five senses of the three of them were far beyond ordinary people, and they saw a general in armor and a lance in the Wei army's military array.
This general has a short beard, a calm expression, urging the war horse, with the cavalry behind him, quite an awe-inspiring divine might.
"Zhang He!"
Yang Yun checked the memory left by Liu Bei, this person was Zhang He, who had several encounters when he took refuge with Yuan Shao. When the princes rose up decades ago, Zhang He was known as the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei.
After taking refuge in Cao Cao, he fought in the south and the north, and his contribution was not small. However, because he is a general with a foreign surname, he has never had the experience of being in charge of a large army alone, and now he is leading 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he is still appointed by Cao Rongli against the consensus of the people.
With all he thought, he looked up and looked forward, and also saw Yang Yun, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao on the car.
Zhang He has never met Zhuge Liang, but he is very familiar with "Liu Bei" and Ma Chao. When Ma Chao led the Qiang soldiers to attack Chang'an and fought against Cao Cao in Weishui, he saw with his own eyes Ma Chao's invincibility.
"Liu Bei, Ma Chao! These two people actually led their troops to come in person, this is to fight me in the field!"
Zhang He frowned, and he already understood the current situation in his heart.
As soon as he waved his hand, the Wei soldiers, who were rolling on the march, immediately slowed down the speed of the march. With the sword and shield men in front and the archers behind, the cavalry on both wings is ready to attack!
"Your Majesty, do you want to send a general to call for battle?" Zhuge Liang asked in a low voice.
Yang Yun shook his head slightly, and said: "No, since Zhang He has arrived, let's go to war! Kong Ming, you are a general, you will command the whole army! Meng Qi, you lead the cavalry to charge, go straight to the Chinese army and kill Zhang He, I will personally sweep the battle for you!"
"No!"
Ma Chao immediately surrendered his order, and then his eyes shifted to the side of Wei Jun, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he took two steps back, turned over and jumped off the chariot, and rode his horse to the front of Qiang Qi.
He let out a long roar, like a heavenly wolf from the west, holding a tiger-headed Zhan golden spear, urging the war horse, and charging towards the Wei army's battle array. Behind him, thousands of Qiang horsemen roared with a roar, armed with scimitars and spears, like wolves hunting, surging away.
Heavy cavalry breaks the formation, light cavalry harasses.
The Qiang cavalry led by Ma Chao is naturally a normal light cavalry. But in the case of him acting as a formation-breaking knife, this light cavalry can also exert a strong power that is not inferior to that of heavy cavalry.
"What a guts, to despise me so much!
When Zhang He saw this scene, he laughed angrily, he immediately roared, and the three thousand archers were ready, bending their bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows roared towards Ma Chao and Qiang Qi.
"Give me death!"
Ma Chao roared again, and his whole body rushed into the sky, and there was even a wolf howling moon diagram behind him, and he waved his spear, boom! A powerful and incomparable vitality fluctuation rose into the sky, blasting most of the flying arrow rain into powder.
Bang!
Ma Chao's speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the front of the Wei army's battle array, and the spear stabbed forward, surging violently, as if the sharp cone of the qi explosion instantly blasted away the sword and shield hands and pikemen who were blocking the front.
The battle formation that was waiting for it broke a big hole.
"This ......"
When Zhang He saw this scene, his originally angry mood seemed to be poured cold water and became calm. Ma Chao's strength is so strong, even beyond Lu Bu back then.
"No wonder, before sending out the troops, His Majesty specially asked me to bring a thousand yellow turban wrestlers!"
He immediately took out a tiger talisman from his bosom and poured his energy into it, and not far behind him, a burly soldier with a dull face suddenly stepped forward.
Rumble!
The powerful momentum rushed into the sky, and the qi of these thousand people was connected, and the combined momentum was comparable to that of Ma Chao who was charging.
