Chapter 701: Zhao Yun's Discovery

On the way from Guangling County to Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zhan's side.

Along the way, they rode their horses and galloped, and the people they led were more than 10,000 cavalry that Lu Zhi had left in Xuzhou before, including some white horse servants who belonged to Gongsun Zhan.

Originally, there were 2,000 people in Baimayicong, but after the first battle in Huainan County, there were heavy casualties, and the 2,000-person Baimayi became only a few hundred people left in this area.

Although there are only a few hundred people left, Bai Ma Yi is still a very eye-catching presence among the more than 10,000 cavalry, and Bai Ma is handsome and very conspicuous.

"General, what happened to us in such a hurry?"

After Gongsun Zhan received the news that Liu Zheng appeared in Xuzhou, he quickly gathered people, and he didn't even have time to tell his subordinates what happened.

Only Zhao Yun, who was one of the leaders of Bai Ma Yicong, walked into Gongsun Chan and came over to ask what happened to Gongsun Chan.

While riding a horse, Gongsun Chan chatted with Zhao Yun beside him about these things.

"Zilong, our people came to report that Liu Zheng led some cavalry to appear in Xuzhou, not to blockade Xuzhou City, it seems that he wants to attack Xuzhou City directly!"

"What! Liu Zheng! Also attacking Xuzhou City? How is this possible! ”

When Zhao Yun heard the news, he was also immediately shocked, with an incredible look on his face.

"Yes, I can't believe it, but our spies tell us that this news is true, and now Liu Zheng has led people to besiege Xuzhou, it seems that he is waiting for someone, but I am afraid that the people he is waiting for will gather enough troops, and they will attack the city."

Gongsun Zhan himself didn't believe in this kind of thing, but they couldn't help but not believe it, they had occupied Xuzhou not long ago, and when Lu Zhi's army broke through Xuzhou, they also killed Liu Zheng's cronies.

Such a move should make Liu Zheng angry, and it is not impossible for Liu Zheng to attack Xuzhou again.

As for how Liu Zheng led more than 10,000 cavalry to kill Xuzhou City directly, although Gongsun Zhan didn't know, he could kill Xuzhou City unknowingly, and he could also lead more men and horses to Xuzhou City.

This is what Gongsun Chan is worried about, because of this, Gongsun Chan wants to rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible, otherwise after Liu Zheng really leads people to start attacking Xuzhou, if Liu Bei does not block it, Xuzhou will fall into Liu Zheng's hands again, and a big war will be inevitable.

Zhao Yun, who was beside Gongsun Zhan, saw the solemn expression on Gongsun Zhan's face, and wanted to stop talking.

Gongsun Zhan saw Zhao Yun and seemed to have something to say.

"Zilong, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Yun really had something in his heart that he wanted to say to Gongsun Zhan, but what he wanted to say might affect some military morale, so he really didn't want to talk about it at this time, so he didn't plan to say it, but after hearing Gongsun Zhan's inquiry, Zhao Yun still spoke.

"General, I do have something to say to you."

"If you have anything to say, you can just say it, do you and I still need to hide it like this?"

"General, do you remember the last time we fought Liu Zheng in Huainan?"

was asked by Gongsun Chan like this, Zhao Yun naturally stopped hiding it, and asked Gongsun Chan when he opened his mouth.

Gongsun Chan didn't expect Zhao Yun to ask about the last time he fought Liu Zheng in Huainan, but that battle was very impressive to Gongsun Zhan.

"Of course I remember, my subordinates suffered heavy losses in that battle, more than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, all of them were lost in the hands of the cavalry under Liu Zheng, I didn't expect that Liu Zheng actually had such a powerful cavalry, even our white horse Yicong may not be his opponent!"

For the last battle, Gongsun Zhan was deeply impressed, especially the cavalry under Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng's cavalry is not only good in single strength, but also relatively large in number, except for the white horse righteous servants under Gongsun Zhan, the other cavalry are not the main force, just ordinary cavalry, if these people are against Liu Zheng's cavalry, the chance of victory is not big.

However, what Zhao Yun wanted to say was not this, he whispered to Gongsun Zhan's side.

"General, the last time I fought with those cavalry of Liu Zheng, I vaguely sensed that something was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Those cavalrymen have a lot of strength on horseback, and ordinary people have a lot of strength, and they are skilled in bows and horses, but many of their cavalry don't even know basic horsemanship, so I wondered, I found this on an enemy cavalry before leaving."

Zhao Yun shook his feet, and on his feet, there were a pair of stirrups identical to the cavalry under Liu Zheng.

"I found this thing under the cavalryman's vest."

Zhao Yun gestured.

Gongsun Zhan followed Zhao Yun's words, looked at Zhao Yun, and also saw the pair of stirrups under Zhao Yun.

It's just that just seeing the two stirrups, Gongsun Chan doesn't understand what the role of these two stirrups is.

"At first, I didn't know what it did, but then I took it back and studied it, and after hanging them in the saddle, I immediately realized what it did."

Zhao Yun said as he demonstrated it to Gongsun Zhan. He put his feet on top of the stirrups and stood up on the horse's back out of thin air.

As Gongsun Zhan, who grew up in Youzhou, he naturally has been riding horses since he was a child, not to mention that he is skilled in bow horses, and he has deep skills in riding horses, but when he saw the stirrups that Zhao Yun demonstrated to him.

Gongsun Zhan's face immediately changed.

"This ...... Something that can make ordinary people have enough strength right away? ”

If this is really the case, Gongsun Chan will be able to understand why those cavalry under Liu Zheng can have such strong combat effectiveness.

If this thing can really be equipped with the cavalry under them, it will definitely be a qualitative leap for their cavalry.

Then the white horse Yicong under them may not become stronger, but it can turn more people into cavalry.

The function of stirrups is to make it easier for ordinary people to stand firm on horseback, and at the same time, it also allows people who are already familiar with riding skills to better borrow strength on horseback.

Definitely an invention that transcends the ages.

"This thing...... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"This thing, I just discovered his usage, and I was ready to tell the general, but I didn't expect that the general would suddenly pull out the camp."

"Alas, if Zilong had told me earlier, I would have ordered someone to build thousands of pairs and equip our men and horses, then the cavalry under our command would definitely be much stronger!"
