A thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation, like throwing a stone into a pond, although it could also cause ripples, but the effect was too small.

However, as long as you can win that trace of chaos, you can bring opportunities to Zhao Yun and Guan Yu.

"Retreat towards the cavalry!" Zhao Yun shouted loudly. The cavalry he was referring to was naturally the 1,000 cavalry of his own army.

Guan Yu answered, and then drove the Red Rabbit Divine Horse and rushed towards the cavalry team of his own army with Zhao Yun.

As long as you can blend in with your own cavalry, then the chances of escape will be much more numerous.

But it is easier said than done, and although it is said that rendezvous with the cavalry team is conducive to his escape, the various difficulties are still very great. First of all, the cavalry of the own army broke through to the periphery of the battlefield, far away from the two of them, and the time that a thousand cavalry could support was really limited, and it was very likely that before the two of them arrived, the thousand cavalry had already been swallowed.

Secondly, even if the two of them joined up with the 1,000 cavalry team, it would still be very difficult to rely on such a sparsely numbered cavalry team if they wanted to break out of the encirclement among the 10,000 troops.

"Hmph, it's just the light of the grains of rice." Seeing this thousand cavalry team suddenly appear, both Wang Men and Gao Ran were a little surprised at the beginning, but then they felt extremely funny.

Compared with the cavalry in the north, the quality of the cavalry in the Central Plains is far from the same, not to mention that the cavalry that appeared at this time was only about a thousand cavalry, and what role could it play in addition to sending them to death.

It's just a matter of adding to your own exploits.

Wang Men didn't care about this new cavalry team, and only sent 2,000 knights from his own army to encircle and suppress the 1,000 cavalry of Cao's army.

Seeing this, Gao Ran on the side frowned slightly, as a general of an army, it is not a good phenomenon to underestimate the enemy. It is necessary to know that the lion fights the rabbit and still does his best.

However, Gao Ran did not go to the royal gate to admonish anything, although he was a little disgusted with the attitude of the royal gate to treat the enemy as nothing, but in his heart he did not think that the 1,000 cavalry of the Cao army could defeat the 2,000 cavalry of Yuan Shao's army.

Therefore, Gao Ran did not let his infantry encircle Cao's cavalry, although his own infantry was dozens of times that of the other party.

"Humph!" Xiahou Yuan, who was at the forefront of the Cao army's cavalry, snorted coldly when he saw this, and then showed a sneer. Originally, he thought that he would face a series of fierce battles as soon as he broke into the battlefield, but unexpectedly, the enemy general only assigned about 2,000 cavalry to deal with him.

If you are entangled by the army as soon as you break into the battlefield, then you may only be able to consider retreating after a while, but now the other side has only sent 2,000 horsemen......

Yes, the number of two thousand horsemen is quite a lot, but it can't make Xiahou Yuan feel a lot of pressure.

With one against ten, maybe Xiahou Yuan will panic, but with one against two, it can only arouse Xiahou Yuan's pride and fighting spirit!

What kind of person is Xiahou Yuan, he can be said to be the first person among the generals of the Xiahou clan, in terms of commanding troops, he is by no means worse than Zhang Liao and others, in terms of personal martial arts, although he is not as good as Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, but he is by no means mediocre!

It doesn't mean that such a good general is absolutely without fear, but with only twice the strength of his own, he wants to make him afraid to retreat? No way!

What's more, at this time, he still has a secret weapon in his hand that the other party will never expect.

"Kill!" Xiahou Yuan gave an order and led the thousand horsemen behind him to move forward bravely.

Among the two thousand horsemen on the opposite side, the one who rushed to the front was a military marquis. Xiahou Yuan rode his horse and rushed in front of him, without even looking at the other party, and stabbed the other party under the horse when he raised the gun in his hand.

It's just a military marquis, it's not worth focusing your eyes on him for a moment.

The knights behind Xiahou Yuan also killed one after another, raising their weapons and stabbing forward.

All of a sudden, there were wails and shouts of killing, but as far as the eye could see, there were more casualties among the knights in Yuan Shao's army.

How can it be! Seeing such a result, Wang Men was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

In fact, although the number of these thousand cavalry was not much, they had two treasures that other cavalry absolutely did not have - stirrups and horseshoes.

These two things were made up by Gao Shun last year.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were already unilateral stirrups, but the birth of bilateral stirrups can still play a shocking role. The stirrup leather on one side is very short, and its effect is only to make it easier for the knight to get on the horse, and when the knight is on the horse, he will no longer pedal. The bilateral stirrups offered by Gao Shun have lengthened the stirrup leather, which allows the knight to support his body well on the horse, and even if he makes some exaggerated movements, he does not have to worry about the danger of falling off the horse.

Most cavalry rarely used long weapons as weapons, because they had to steer their horses with one hand to stabilize their figures, making it difficult to control long weapons with both hands at the same time while riding. And the appearance of bilateral stirrups can improve this problem very well, so that the use of long weapons by cavalry is no longer a pipe dream.

Horseshoe, also known as horse iron, was invented by the ancient Romans and is said to have been created in the first century BC or even earlier, but it has not yet been introduced to China. The function of the horseshoe is to be able to protect the horse's hoof well and prolong the service life of the horse.

Traveling to the Three Kingdoms, how embarrassing is it not to take out something like a stirrup horsefoot? These two things are not difficult to forge, and under Gao Shun's instructions, the blacksmiths in Xuchang City quickly made real objects.

However, although these two things are just gadgets, they have a real role in promoting the development of cavalry. When Gao Shun presented these two things to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was so happy that he laughed from ear to ear on the spot.

"With this good thing, after I defeat Yuan Shao, why can't I form a tiger and leopard horse!"

Cao Cao was thrilled to get the stirrups and horseshoe, and he attached great importance to Gao Shun's talents.

Gao Shun is good at commanding troops, strong martial arts, and brilliant writing, originally Cao Cao thought that he already valued him very much, but when he presented the stirrup and horseshoe, Cao Cao found that he still did not seem to have fully seen through Gao Shun.

And now, this thousand cavalry matching the stirrup horseshoe is engaged in a fierce battle in the enemy formation. The advantages of stirrups, while not unique, are definitely unique. If the 5,000 cavalry of the royal gate pressed on a large scale, this thousand people really couldn't do it with one enemy and five, but in the face of an enemy army twice their size, there would be no problem with one enemy and two.

It is true that Cao's cavalry was destined to suffer casualties, but the proportion of casualties among Yuan Shaojun's cavalry on the opposite side was even greater.

Within a moment of fighting, the Cao cavalry lost more than 70 cavalry, while the Yuan cavalry had lost more than 200 cavalry.

Close to a one-to-three ratio!
