Zhang Liao quickly ordered people to receive good horses, and sent people to select people with good equestrian skills from among the 2,000 soldiers to form cavalry.

At this time, Du Lieutenant Ma Lai greeted him, Zhang Liao saw this deputy, he was in a good mood, and joked: "It's really worthy of your name, your name is Ma Lai, but Ma really came, I knew this was the case, you should have changed your name to Ma Wanlai." ”

However, Ma Lai's face was full of worry, his brows gathered into the word "Chuan", and he said in a deep voice: "I heard that General Wenyuan is ordering people to select people who can ride horses, is the general ready to take the initiative?" ”

"If we don't take the initiative, what do we want these horses to do?"

"But...... Even if our army has these horses, there is still a huge difference in strength with Yuan's army. ”

Marley scratched his head, already confused.

Even with 800 horses, the strength has increased, but the opponent's army has 20,000 soldiers.

Moreover, the cavalry is suitable for charging and fighting, so that they can only go out of the village to meet the battle, and the advantages of the camp cannot be brought into play.

"Do you think that with only 2,000 soldiers, you can live in the camp?" Zhang Liao Zhengse retorted: "If you defend the camp, you will be surrounded by regiments, and there will be only one way to die."

Now that there are so many good horses, it is not without a chance to win if you take the initiative and give it a go.

Don't worry, when you charge, I, Zhang Liao, will definitely rush to the front. ”

"Death is death," Ma Lai's bloodiness was also stimulated, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since it is inevitable to die sooner or later, it is better to kill a happy person and pull a few cushions on his back, and it will not be in vain to live in the world."

Being able to fight side by side with General Wen Yuan and die together is worth it in this life. ”

"Do you think that if we rush out, we will die?" Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows, he rushed out to win this battle, not to seek death.

However, Ma Lai obviously did not think so, and said with a resolute expression: "Isn't it certain to die? For the general, he should have shrouded himself in horse leather, and what was there to avoid. ”

……

Guo Yuan received Yuan Shang's handwritten order, so he hurriedly urged the army and horses to march quickly.

Since the defeat of Guandu, Hebei's forces are not as good as before, and the 20,000 soldiers he led are already half of the soldiers and horses in the hands of the lord, and now they are handed over to him, what kind of trust is this for him?

It's enough to deserve his crushing bones to repay.

Moreover, it is very clear in the warrant that Cao Cao has personally led a large army to Yecheng, and he must go around to the hinterland of the Central Plains as soon as possible and stab Cao Cao in the back to relieve the siege of Yecheng.

The time given by Yuan Shang is three days, and he must fight his way out of Tongguan.

Guo Yuan felt that the problem should not be too big, although the person facing him was the world's famous general Zhang Liao, but after all, the number of people was too small.

On the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, the force of the generals is greatly weakened, and the most important thing is the number of soldiers.

The art of war has a cloud of "ten rules to surround it", and now his soldiers are exactly ten times that of the other party, and he only needs to surround them, and it is easy to annihilate the other party, which also gives him the opportunity to make a name for himself.

Killing Zhang Liao is enough for him to brag for the rest of his life.

"Newspaper—"

The herald pulled a long voice and rushed to Guo Yuanma: "Just now someone sent a batch of war horses to the Cao army on the opposite side. ”

"How many horses?" Guo Yuan's heart sank, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Look at the scale, there are seven or eight hundred horses."

"Seven or eight hundred horses, what are you afraid of him doing?" Guo Yuan let out a sigh of relief, if he said that Cao's army's 2,000 foot soldiers suddenly turned into 2,000 cavalry, he still had to worry, but there were only seven or eight hundred horses, which didn't make much difference at all.

"The advantage of horses is in the field of combat, and these horses will become a burden to Cao's army.

If you want to use horses, you can only choose to abandon the camp and take the initiative to attack, seven or eight hundred horses are too few.

And according to the camp to guard, these horses are useless, I want to see how he Zhang Wenyuan chooses. ”

"Zhang Liao will be useful for escaping in the future," at this time, the lieutenant general next to him joked easily: "The general defeated Zhang Wenyuan in a battle, and he is famous all over the world." ”

Guo Yuan laughed and ordered: "Sharp arrow formation, array." ”

The 20,000 troops quickly formed a formation, shaped like a huge arrow, and the main general was located in the middle and rear of the formation, which was precisely the front arrow formation that was biased towards attack.

Guo Yuan felt that Zhang Liao was not a brave and resourceless person, and now he was in a weak position, and it was unlikely that he would take the initiative to attack after leaving the camp.

In this case, he still needs to lead his troops to storm the opponent's camp.

"General, look, Cao Jun's camp has opened by itself, is it to surrender?" At this time, the adjutant general pointed to the Cao military camp in front and chuckled.

Guo Yuan took a closer look, and sure enough, as far as the eye could see, the gate of Cao's camp opened.

There was a majestic general, armed with a spear, who took the lead and slowly led hundreds of cavalry out of the camp.

"Zhang Wenyuan, he is really very human, and he really dares to give up the camp and lead so many hundreds of people to fight?" Guo Yuan naturally guessed that the general was Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao only has these few hundred cavalry, how much storm can he set off?

Although the camp is not as good as the city, the defender has a geographical advantage after all, and if he sends an army to attack, the loss will definitely not be small.

But Zhang Liao took the initiative to come out, and this step was saved.

At this time, Zhang Liao galloped in front of the battle, showed off his might, pointed at Yuan Jun and said loudly: "Under the account of the King of Han and Qin, General Jianzhong, the Marquis of Guannei, and the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Zhang Liao is here, who dares to fight with me." ”

No one paid any attention to him.

Guo Yuan, who was hiding in the military formation, scoffed at this move, usually the two armies fought, and only when the strength was about the same, would the generals be singled out to boost morale.

But now that there is a huge difference in the strength of the two armies, the fool agrees to fight alone.

However, he was worried that Zhang Liao would withdraw and defend the camp.

In that case, he would have to attack hard, so he turned sideways and ordered the generals next to him: "Leave him alone, beat the drum and attack." ”

"Knock knock!" The earth-shattering drums rang out. The 20,000 troops began to advance in an offensive formation in an orderly manner.

On the other side, Zhang Liao raised the iron spear in his hand and led his 800 warriors to launch an active attack on Yuan's army.

The distance between the two of them was very close, and in a moment, Zhang Liao had already taken the lead and rushed into the Yuan army's formation.

The spear in his hand was as light as a weight, and the soldiers blocking in front of him were suddenly turned on their backs by the people who were impacted.

However, after all, Yuan Jun had a lot of people, just like a flood, and quickly surrounded Zhang Liao, and at the same time, more than a dozen spears pierced Zhang Liao's body and immediately pierced him, as long as one of them was pierced, Zhang Liao would immediately become Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liao was not flustered, and the spears in his hands were pulled, and the spears of those ordinary soldiers naturally flew when they touched Zhang Liao's iron spear.

Just as the follow-up Yuan army was about to surround him, Ma Lai and the eight hundred warriors arrived, and immediately protected Zhang Liao's back and flanks......
