However, it was said that Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led 4,000 cavalry to follow Cao Jun far away according to Liu Cong's arrangement. I was very depressed for the first two days. This is a battle, but it is suffocating the two fierce generals. But by the afternoon of the next day, the two had changed their minds.

It turned out that Xiahoudun had caught up with Liu Bei's rear team, and after Guan Yu and others were ordered to break off, they fought with Xiahoudun's cavalry.

From time to time, because there are no owners, and the battlefield is chaotic and noisy, the war horses all run north, one or two...... When Liu Pan's subordinates saw the war horse, they thought like a man who had been single for thirty years, and when they saw the little sister next door taking a bath, their eyes stared straight in the direction of the war horse. Until the horses are very close. Only then did Liu Pan order: "Set off in the front row and catch those war horses!" ”

No need to order, these people have long wanted to rush forward, these war horses are even stronger than Liu Pan's original thousand war horses, these cavalry are said to be cavalry, and when they train in Jiangling, they often get a chance to ride a horse once in four or five days. Now these horses are ownerless, and whoever catches them is theirs! One by one, they spread their legs and ran towards the war horses, and those war horses instinctively stopped, and their steps wanted to turn, but there were too many people, so they quickly surrounded them.

Don't look at these people who rarely ride horses, but they are very fine, and soon dozens of war horses have knights on them. The soldiers who got the war horses were smiling, but they didn't get to the sidelines and hung their heads, as if their father and mother had died, and they were annoyed.

Seeing this, Liu Pan comforted: "Don't worry, the lord asked me to take you out, so that all of you can have horses to ride." Get the first registration of the horses and stand at the back of the line! The others stood a little more open, and didn't let the war horses in front of them run away, and they all cheered up! ”

Liu Pan said this, and the others who didn't get the war horses suddenly came to their spirits again, looking forward to the arrival of the next batch of war horses. Liu Pan said that there is also a basis, his cavalry team has a total of only 4,000 people, 3,000 people have no horses, Xiahoudun's tiger and leopard cavalry has 5,000 people, plus the war horses in Liu Bei's army and the horses of some people in Xinye, how to say that there are also six or seven thousand.

The two armies fought on the battlefield, who could care about those fleeing horses? Liu Pan and the others followed from a distance, picking up ready-made ones.

Soon there was a second batch of scattered war horses, Liu Pan was more experienced this time, let those sentry horses stand in front of the scattered horses, those frightened horses on the battlefield after a wild gallop, suddenly found that the surroundings were quiet, and the same kind appeared in front, so they were naturally attracted to it.

As soon as the war horse appeared, someone in Liu Pan's team rushed out, as excited as a hungry man snatching his daughter-in-law.

This continued until the sun went down. On the first day, Liu Pan's team stopped more than 100 war horses.

On the second day, more than 300 horses retreated from the battlefield.

In front, Xiahou led the troops to fight with Guan Yu and others, and gradually divided the victory and defeat, Guan Yu and others completely abandoned the people of Xinye to join Liu Bei and others.

And the sentry cavalry sent by Liu Bei came to report from time to time, saying that there was a naval army of 3,000 people on the Han River. When Liu Bei learned of such a change, he firmly believed that Liu Cong and Cao Cao were in collusion to plot for themselves.

The next day, in order to deal with the people of Xinye, Xiahoudun slightly distanced himself from Liu Bei, and Liu Bei convened his subordinates to discuss urgently. It seems that the navy of the Han River will continue to move south, and if he keeps following his own pace to the south, then when he reaches the Yangtze River, Liu Bei will face cavalry pursuit in the north and interception by the navy in the south. A way out of this situation must be found as soon as possible.

The result of the discussion was that Guan Yu led a thousand elite soldiers to the Yangtze River to prepare for the crossing of the river, and Liu Qi led several horses to Shaxian to understand the situation in Jiangxia. Others completely abandoned their families and the people of Xinye, and kept hurrying.

As for Xiahoudun's troops, although they experienced a small group of troops attacking and harassing last night, and the people in the camp escaped, this did not affect the overall situation. Xiahoudun decided to leave 500 tigers and leopards to guard these Xinye people, and the remaining nearly 4,000 continued to pursue Liu Bei non-stop. Xiahoudun also knew that his cavalry was good at fighting on the plains, and once Liu Bei was allowed to cross the river, he could only look at the river and sigh.

Yesterday, he killed hundreds of knights with Guan Yu and others, but Liu Beijun seemed to have suffered greater losses, the entire rear army collapsed, and most of the people of Xinye, who were originally protecting in the middle, became prisoners of Xiahoudun.

The speed of the cavalry is fast, and once Xiahoudun is triggered, he saw Liu Bei's army from a distance in less than an hour.

This time, Xiahoudun secretly made up his mind, whether it was ordinary people or Liu Bei's soldiers, to cover up all the way and vow to catch Liu Bei.

Xiahoudun's decisiveness made Liu Bei embarrassed, and there were no more people to cover for him to flee again. He had to make a choice, whether to fight hard with his more than 10,000 people and Xiahoudun, or to strengthen the Han River, or turn to Shaxian in the east!

Also encountered problems was Liu Pan, who was in a very happy mood to pick up leaks in the back. But when the morning continued to set off, the sentry cavalry came to report that tens of thousands of civilians and hundreds of Cao cavalry had been found ahead.

How big a scene is tens of thousands of people, Liu Pan wants to go around it with a lot of effort, but if he attacks hard, he will definitely startle the snake, and when the time comes, Xiahoudun knows that there is still a force behind him to follow him, and he will definitely attack himself with all his strength, so the gains will outweigh the losses.

As a last resort, he ordered the large army to stop, sent cavalry to spread the eyeline, and sent a few capable infantry to pretend to be civilians and prepare to go around to see the situation ahead.

All morning, Liu Pan's troops returned to the boring state of the day before yesterday with nothing to do.

However, soon news came from the front, and Xiahoudun and Liu Bei had already set up a formation not far in front of them to prepare for a decisive battle.

It turned out that Liu Bei was also forced to do so.

Guan Yu hurriedly rushed to the Yangtze River with people, but found that the Jiangxia Naval Army, with five or six thousand people patrolling near the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, was originally on the Han River, and the naval army was also going downstream, as if it was also to cut off Liu Bei's retreat.

And Liu Qi couldn't enter Shaxian City at all. Who is Cai Mao, if Huang Zu is here, Liu Qi may still have a glimmer of hope. But even if it is Huang Zu, what Liu Qi did in Jiangxia is unpopular with the people, and there will be no Jiangxia officials and people who will come out to help Liu Qi at this time.

Seeing the two groups of people and horses returning to the formation in a gray manner, Liu Bei knew that he had encountered a desperate situation this time, and if he did not solve the cavalry that had been chasing after him relentlessly, he had no possibility of crossing the river at all.

Liu Bei made up his mind, Xiahoudun was also ready for battle a long time ago, in his plan, Liu Bei's troops should have been completely defeated yesterday, and today should be the time to pursue the victory, but there were too many people behind Liu Bei's troops, and Xiahoudun did not dare to risk attacking the people, which allowed Liu Bei to spend another night safely.

Once it was decided to fight a decisive battle with Xiahoudun, Liu Bei's troops were still very lethal, and some of the captains, tun chiefs, and military marquis of this army were all old fritters who followed Liu Bei and others to fight everywhere, and they were defeated and fought repeatedly, and they saw too many such scenes.

Another advantage is that the bravery of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun is really famous, plus Guan Ping, Liu Feng, Zhou Cang and others, it has also formed a great deterrent.

Xiahou was not a mortal, he knew where Liu Bei depended, and he was not ready for Guan Yu and the others to fight alone, but commanded the troops to start a collective charge when they were three or four hundred steps away.

For a time, more than 4,000 war horses galloped all the way, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and the dust was like a sandstorm.

If it had been replaced by an ordinary infantry unit, it would have collapsed a long time ago, but Liu Bei's troops did not! First, they knew that the Yangtze River was in front of the morning run, the Han River was in the west, and Shaxian was in the east! There is no way to escape, it is better to fight to the death!

I saw that the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Guan Ping lined up and rushed towards Cao Jun.

Soon the two armies came into contact, although Guan Yu and others had a local advantage, but when Xiahoudun's large army pressed on the whole line, those infantry were really difficult to resist.

Xiahoudun and Liu Bei fought, Liu Pan was moved when he got the news, it was better to take the opportunity to solve the five hundred cavalry, and by the way, he took the horses and rescued tens of thousands of Xinye people.

When Liu Pan and Huang Zhong were planning the division of labor, Wei Yan arrived.

At this time, Liu Pan made up his mind, Liu Pan brought out 4,000 people, and now nearly 1,500 people have war horses, and Wei Yan is 3,000 people, adding up to 7,000 people, even if Xiahou Dun turns back at this time, Liu Pan is not afraid.
