Chapter 628: The Big Knife Cuts Out the Heart

As early as when Liu Yi raised troops to fight against the Yellow Turban, there were two strong brigades under his command, the old fourth battalion and the iron cavalry battalion, and the iron cavalry battalion was divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry, at this time the name of the heavy cavalry battalion still existed, and its commander was concurrently served by Zhao Yun himself, and the light cavalry battalion was the predecessor of the white horse battalion, after the annihilation of Gongsun Zhan won three thousand white horse Yi from the elite, Liu Yi had already merged the two battalions, out of the affirmation of the merits of the white horse Yicong and the stability of the military heart of Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, the name after the merger was set as the white horse battalion, Zhao Yun was the first commander of the white horse battalion, After that, he handed it over to Yan Gang!

As the name suggests, the white horse battalion is ridden by white horses, from the general to the kitchen are all dressed in white robes, which is unique in Liu Yi's army, and it is also the pride of the white horse battalion soldiers who are more important than their lives, when the army was expanded before, it was also the most headache for Liu Yi and his subordinates, Yan Gang would rather not expand and maintain the true color of the white horse camp, this is also the unanimous request of the whole battalion, I am afraid that among the princes today, only Youzhou Liu Yi can also make up more than 20,000 white war horses!

Of course, dare to ask the lord Yan Gang naturally has his own capital, in the four battalions of the iron cavalry battalion, if the comprehensive combat strength is the heavy cavalry battalion but also under the white horse battalion, Yan Gang once said that as long as the terrain that the infantry can pass, the white horse battalion can gallop across the terrain, which seems a bit exaggerated, but it also proves from one side that the battalion is strong, on the cavalry of the soldiers, it is well-deserved the first in the whole battalion, and its riding and archery skills are the Tuge brothers and others are willing to bow down after seeing it.

Speaking of drills, the hardships of the Youzhou army are famous, but there has always been such a saying among the soldiers, step to see the dragon and tiger, ride and watch the white horse, the strength of the drill in the infantry army is the most Xu Huang Zhanghe's dragon and tiger guard two battalions, and the cavalry is the white horse battalion, and then with Zhang Liao Gao Shun and other generals to join the infantry army, there are four major ghost gates, that is, Zhang Liao's Yanyun battalion and Gao Shun's Liaodong battalion, but the title of riding the white horse has not changed, which shows how strict Yan Gang is in the drill. The casualties of the four battalions of the Iron Cavalry Battalion in the annual drill are the highest in the White Horse Battalion! "If you don't let go of life and death, don't think of entering my White Horse Camp!" Yan Gang's words were the most popular among the battalion sergeants.

Maybe Yan Zhongfu is not famous in historical materials or romances, but in this world, Liu Yi is just a reference, what he believes most is his own vision and the actual performance of talents, and this is especially true after the example of Zhang Hu, many people who have no prestige in history under him have shown extraordinary talents, or their achievements far exceed that of another time and space, Jian Yong, Tian Yu, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao are all such examples, and the most prominent is Yan Gang.

His martial arts are not good in Liu Yi's army, which is full of fierce generals, and he is slightly inferior to Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He and other generals, but in terms of cavalry, especially in the cavalry army like the White Horse Battalion, his talent is unique, and it can even be said that he was born for the strong army of the White Horse Battalion, which was never denied during Zhao Yun's tenure as the commander of the White Horse Battalion.

Of course, Yan Gang can have such an achievement and Liu Yi's training of generals is also inseparable, when the battalion commanders were recruited to go to the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy for training, it was Yan Gang who resisted at first, but after receiving the lord's thirty military sticks, he also had to go according to the order, Liu Yi's insistence on military law is almost stubborn, no matter who is treated equally, Yan Gang still deeply remembers that his first lesson of the day was lying on the soft bed, because he couldn't sit down at all, the lord's military stick was not pretty, Liu Yi sent him the best wound medicine, I invited the best healer, and told him that I would like to try Fan Junling again in the future, but this time thirty times is sixty! But after being beaten, it was difficult for him to have any hatred for the lord, because Liu Yi's justice in the army was unquestionable.

At that time, the instructors had Zhu Junhuang Fu Song, the two famous generals of the Han Dynasty and the lord himself, several military advisors also often came to make cameos, the two old generals gave great affirmation to Liu Yi's move, and did not hide his decades of experience in the battle formation, and the old general Zhu also said at the time: "Lang Sheng's move is a precedent for the ancients, and the article can be passed down from generation to generation, and now we are also general, I am fortunate to be able to meet this matter!" Compared with the lectures of the two famous generals and extremely military advisors, the most interesting thing for the generals is the words of the lord, unlike Liu Yi in the military camp, his class is the most active atmosphere, often all the generals can communicate to their heart's content, learn from each other's strengths, since then, Yan Gang has become the most serious senior general in the martial arts, and he has indeed made great progress.

This time by Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's order to come to Sizhou to fight with the coalition army, Yan Gang held his breath in his heart to establish the first merit, and the outstanding performance of Zhang Liao and Fan Chou further stimulated his idea, Zhang Wenyuan's brilliant achievements are still second, the performance of the White Horse Battalion cannot be lost to the Bingzhou Battalion in any case, they are almost crippled in the first battle in Jizhou!

It is hard for Han Sui and Zhang Wei to imagine that someone only has more than 20,000 cavalry to dare to confront their army, and the power of this white cavalry is even more unexpected for them, they have been fed up with the raids of the Wuhuan Hun cavalry and the assault of the Fan Chou and Zhou battalions, but the white horse battalion in front of them can perfectly combine the advantages of the two in one place, their running and cavalry shooting are even more accurate and powerful than the alien races, and their battle formations are varied, and the place of improvisation is also above the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the coalition army, It's hard to guard!

The truth that one plus one is greater than two is not new now, the coalition soldiers were shocked to find that those bumpy and rugged terrain did not play the slightest role in hindering the white-robed and silver-armored knights in front of them, they even dared to approach the coalition flank a hundred steps to attack, one person's riding skills are so amazing at most, but a whole army is like this, that is terrifying!

Compared with the strong combat power shown by the White Horse Battalion, the biggest worry in the hearts of Han Sui, Zhang Wei and the others is not this, aren't they thousands of miles away in Jizhou? Didn't the military intelligence mention that Zhao Yun's Iron Cavalry Battalion was fighting with Cao's army on the Yanzhou border? As one question after another intertwined in their hearts, the mountain in the hearts of the two of them immediately became ten points heavier, originally even if they were harassed a little anxious, but they were still very confident in withdrawing Hangu, Liu Yi would be difficult to completely defeat them in such a situation of force comparison no matter how he could use troops, but the appearance of the White Horse Battalion in front of him made this confidence slowly weaken, with Liu Langsheng's use of troops and the situation in the past few days, everything proved that he was laying out the overall situation of annihilating the coalition army, The White Horse Battalion thousands of miles away can suddenly appear here, is the advantage of troops they rely on really solid?

At this moment, Han Sui and Zhang Wei really began to panic, and the huge sense of crisis in their hearts made them desperate to give the order for the whole army to attack, and they must repel the white horse battalion in front of them at any cost, and then retreat to Hangu at full speed.

At this time, even the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was sent by the two of them to save their lives, and now it was time to make a decision, originally they were still thinking of using the infantry army to outflank the two wings while the Xiliang Cavalry was entangled with the White Horse Battalion, but at this time, the dust and smoke in the distance on both sides made them have to wait for the battle, Zhang Liao and Fan Chou's cavalry have been following behind, and now both of them regret in their hearts why they didn't withdraw the moment Liu Yi arrived, With a good cavalry, they can properly respond to the situation in front of them, but there is no such thing as an "if" in this world, and they will have to pay the price for the slightest reluctance and greed at that time.

The cavalry army is in front, the infantry army array is advancing steadily, even in the panic Han Sui's formation is still remarkable, after all, it is also a battle-hardened person, and at the moment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry action, all the white horse battalion rushing soldiers have returned to the strict formation, they did not hesitate to meet the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that came to the impact, at this time the tactics of the White Horse Battalion are to fly with both wings, and the rushing soldiers suddenly scattered left and right one by one to spread the bow and arrow rain to the other party, but did not have any impact on their own speed because of this action, They parted like ocean waves, encompassing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and behind them, a warrior in lion helmet and white armor rushed forward with an indomitable might, and the spear in his hand exuded a light like nine shadows.

"Kamui Tenshogun"! Today's Ma Chao did not wear a mask, Leng Junsheng's cold face was boundless murderous, the left hand Pang De, the right hand Ma Dai, behind him were the three hundred neighing wind cavalry of the Ma family and more than 1,000 cavalry troops of the personal guard battalion, they have been hiding in the queue of the White Horse Battalion, waiting for the opportunity in front of them, General Yan's judgment was not wrong, and the best way to deal with the combat power of the White Horse Battalion is the mixed impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the foot soldiers, and today's Ma Chao will become the sharpest arrow in the White Horse Battalion, mercilessly chiseling through the enemy's formation!

If it was replaced by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with intact combat strength a few months ago, even if they were defeated by the bravery of the White Horse Battalion in the case of similar numbers, they could bring great damage to the other party, but now they are not, the previous cavalry battle fiasco and the constant harassment of Liu Yijun along the way made them exhausted, and the combat power at this time may only be as good as fifty percent of the heyday, and the morale that it has just raised because of the need to fight a bloody road has rapidly declined because of the appearance of the "Shenweitian General", and the outcome of the battle has been extremely clear at this time. When the arrows formed by Ma Chao and others pierced through the formation of the Xiliang cavalry like a yuba, the soldiers of the White Horse Battalion also brandished the broadswords in their hands and rushed into the enemy formation that had begun to be chaotic, Liu Yi's task to Yan Gang was to strike at all costs against the enemy's living forces, and today's layout for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was from Zhang Hu's hand!

At the moment when Zhang Liao's night attack was successful, Zhang Hu already had such a plan in his heart, now is not the time for a decisive battle with the enemy, but its only remaining mobile force must be cut off first, this battle of the white horse battalion in the light, Zhang Liao Fan Chou's department in the dark, plus Ma Chao as the arrow of the whole army to impact are in his calculations, Zhang Zicai, who has always been known for his calm and thoughtfulness, is also sharp in the battle of Sizhou, 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, this piece of meat can be said to make the coalition army painful!
