Chapter 252

Qingzhou has no shortage of war horses, although it is not a place to produce horses, but with the war horses captured from the Wuhuan people in the Wuhuan War, Yan Shao still formed a huge cavalry army of more than 2,000 horses in Qingzhou. Such a number www.biquge.info is extremely rare in the entire Central Plains, and these cavalry are not single horsemen, but single double horsemen or even three horsemen...

For the other princes of the Central Plains, this configuration was already called a luxury. Among the heroes, they can take so many cavalry, and the five hand counts can be counted, including the Xiliang army that has fallen apart.

But Yan Shao knew very well that like the blade, a war horse was also a consumable. Not only is there consumption during combat, but it is also consumed in peacetime due to time.

That's why when he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, he continued to get war horses from Jizhou or Bingzhou, almost to the point of sparing no cost. He also built a horse farm in Qingzhou, which was specially used to supply war horses in the army.

Because he knows very well that his relationship with Yuan Shao is good at this stage, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future. When the two sides break up, it is almost impossible to get war horses from Hebei.

Years of savings have enabled Yan Shao to reserve a considerable number of war horses in the horse farm near the Beihai Sea. When he took most of the six counties of Qingzhou in his hands, there were two choices in front of him.

One is to expand the size of the Dare First Army, and the other is to form another large enough cavalry army.

I have to say, it's a tough choice. Since the establishment of the Dare First Army, there are indeed no particularly outstanding achievements, and there are almost no achievements that can be obtained, most of them were established during the Qingzhou period, and there are even records when the Yellow Turban was suppressed in Donglai County.

The cost of forming such an elite as the Dare First Army is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine. Even with the richness of the North Sea, coupled with the wealth that Yan Shao scavenged, he only formed a cavalry army of more than 1,000 people, and he was even more like a treasure on weekdays.

However, if the work of Dare First is only like this, then there is no point in spending such a huge amount of money to form such an elite, and there is no need to expand.

In contrast, on the contrary, a normal cavalry will be more practical, at least there will be no scruples when using it, but it can be used according to the requirements, which is also the most important thing for a cavalry army to do.

Considering that Qingzhou is in ruins, even if Yan Shao's power has expanded from the original one county to five counties, the resources that can be taken out for expansion are still limited, and only one of the two can be chosen.

In the end, Yan Shao chose to expand the existing cavalry army, expanding it from more than 1,000 people to 4,000 cavalry...

It's not that Yan Shao doesn't know the strength of the Dare to First Army, in fact, he knows very well, and he knows even more that any prince should have such an elite under his account. The problem is that it is too elite, so it will be extraordinarily reluctant to use it, and it is always worried, for fear that it will cause too much loss when using it, even if you win later, you will feel distressed after winning.

Instead of getting such an uncle, it is better to get a cavalry army that is larger and more suitable for rough work. Anyway, if it is elite, it is enough to have the current more than 1,000 riders.

This is also the reason why the Dare First Army still has more than 1,000 cavalry, while the ordinary cavalry army has expanded so much.

However, this time the Dare First Army still proved that as an elite elite cavalry, it has an overwhelming advantage in the face of ordinary cavalry, even if it is led by a famous general like Xiahou Yuan, it is definitely not the opponent of the Dare First Army.

You must know that the saddle and stirrup of this era are not perfect, so that most of the cavalry are not very comfortable on horseback, and they cannot fully exert their strength at all. Like Xiahou Yuan's cavalry, he has just been trained for half a year, although it is good, but it can only be used to charge into battle, and he is not very good at riding and shooting.

On the other hand, after a few years of hard work, not only can the cavalry and archery be compared with the Hu people outside the Saiwai, but also their own riding skills are not inferior, coupled with strong force, far above the ordinary cavalry. This hard-fought encounter almost wiped out the Yanzhou cavalry in a face-to-face situation...

"Get out of here!" Seeing that Xiahou Yuan was in danger, the only dozens of horsemen left around him were almost surrounded, whether it was a left rush or a right rush, they could not get rid of the obstruction of the daring army, and Xiahou Yuan, who had just arrived, was also a little anxious, and rushed forward, and the long hair in his hand waved fiercely at a knight who was blocking in front.

In Xiahoudun's opinion, he is a general in Yanzhou, and he can't say that he can compare with Lu Bu in martial arts, and it is no problem to compare with the two generals who fought with Lu Bu at the beginning. Even if these Qingzhou cavalry in front of him are a little tricky, they can't be their opponents.

Who thought that this spear would be able to solve the small soldier in front of him, but he didn't want to notice the blade attacked by Xiahoudun, the knight raised the blade in his hand unhurriedly, and actually firmly blocked Xiahoudun's blow...

"How is this possible!" Noticing this scene, both Xiahoudun and the others were taken aback, and seemed to be a little incredulous.

Especially Cao Cao and the others, who had been paying attention to this side in the rear, opened their eyes even more.

No one knows better than them how powerful Xiahoudun's martial arts are, in addition to Dian Wei, who is responsible for protecting Cao Cao's safety, only Xiahoudun's martial arts are the strongest, and even Le Jin, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, etc. are ranked behind him.

Although Xiahoudun is just a reckless man with the courage of a horseman, this reckless man is quite powerful. Who would have thought that this one of the best generals in Cao's army would now be blocked by a pawn.

"Who are you?" Taking two steps back, Xiahoudun pointed the spear in his hand at the other party and asked.

He didn't use all his strength for the previous blow, but it was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could block.

Listening to Xiahoudun's words, the cavalryman smiled. "I thought how powerful the general of the Cao army should be, just a dozen horsemen dared to come to charge my army first, I didn't want to, it's just that..." If that's all you can do, then let me take off your head and take credit! ”

When he said that he was receiving the merit, there was even a trace of excitement in the eyes of this cavalryman.

Those who can join the Dare to Pioneer Army are almost all the elite of the Qingzhou Army, and of course the ambition is not comparable to ordinary people, although he is only a chief in the Dare to Pioneer Army, but he is definitely not inferior to ordinary generals in martial arts, of course, he is not willing to be only a mere chief in the army...

"This guy looks like he should be the general in Cao's army, if I take off his head, wouldn't it be a great achievement, so not to mention the position of commander, it's still no problem to be promoted two levels in a row, right?" Thinking of this, the cavalryman had already raised his spear.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"I want to take off my head..."Xiahoudun's eyes widened, and a vigorous momentum emanated from his body. You don't have the qualifications yet! ”

Before the cavalry could react, he saw a dark shadow already coming towards him. He only had time to hold the spear in front of him when he felt a tremendous force come from the spear, and then he heard a 'crackle', the barrel of the spear broke, and his whole body rose into the air, flew away from the horse, and fell straight to the ground.

And it wasn't until the cavalryman fell to the ground unconscious that the horse that had been holding him seemed to react.

"Who else dares to stop me..."Without looking at the cavalry who had fallen off his horse, Xiahoudun pointed his spear at the many cavalrymen in front of him and roared sharply, and then he didn't even stop half a step, and continued to rush into the formation, as if he regarded these people as if they were nothing.

I have to say that at that moment, the momentum that erupted from his body was like a ghost, and even the elite and many Pioneer Warriors were shocked for a moment...

However...

And it's just for a moment...

As the most elite soldier in the tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops, if he was so easily intimidated, I'm afraid I would be sorry for Yan Shao for spending money on this army...

As soon as Xiahoudun's words fell, several cavalry had already rushed over...

"This person..."Looking at the momentum that Xiahoudun broke out below, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and the others, who didn't care much about it, were slightly stunned and became cautious. I don't think there are such warriors in Cao's army..."

Especially Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, they were a little eager to try. ,

For a martial artist of their level, there is nothing more satisfying than an opponent of a similar level.

Originally, there were many super-first-class generals in Yan Shao's army, but the problem was that as people in the same camp, all they could do with each other was to learn from each other, but that kind of duel between life and death was impossible. But if a martial artist wants to make a breakthrough, he needs to constantly hover between life and death, which is a bit disturbing...

"It's a pity, if I hadn't come up so early just now..."Looking at Xiahoudun below who had entered the army like a tiger, Gan Ning sighed.

"This guy is so brave, the Dare Xianjun below may not be able to help him, you and I should still have a chance to have a duel with him..."

However, just like he said, the following daring troops could not stop Xiahoudun.

The Dare First Army is indeed the most elite soldier in the Qingzhou Army, and every ordinary sergeant has the strength of an ordinary soldier, and the commander can reach the level of a low-level officer. But don't forget, Xiahoudun is one of the strongest generals in Cao's army, and he is not at all comparable to ordinary generals.

If the generals of other small princes came here, they would probably be chopped into meat sauce if they couldn't take a few breaths, but Xiahoudun's words...

This famous reckless man in Cao's army, the more desperate he is, the more he can give full play to his true strength. Especially when he is injured, he is like a wounded beast...

Anyone knows that the wounded tiger is the most terrible...

Xiahoudun in the formation is like crazy, the spear in his hand is constantly waving, it seems to be completely disorderly, but anyone who is close to him will pay an absolute price, sometimes just leave a scratch on Xiahoudun's armor, and he will have to exchange his life for it...

In a short period of time, Xiahoudun's body was already covered with bruises, but there were more than a dozen sergeants who died under his hands...

"Yuan made this guy crazy again..."Looking at Xiahou Tang roaring over there, Cao Hong sighed.

"What should we do now, Miaocai's side is not far from us, but Yuan Rang looks like this..."Le Jin glanced at Xiahou Tang with some concern.

As a fierce general in Cao's army, Le Jin is also very confident in his martial arts, at least he feels that even in the chaos of the army, he has the hope of rushing out. But in just a short period of time, the soldiers and horses in front of him subverted his thoughts, these soldiers and horses are completely different from the others, each of them is quite tricky, and he needs some effort to solve it, and when there are all such opponents around, things become very troublesome...

Although Le Jin is not as crazy as Xiahoudun, almost only attacking but not defending, but he still suffered some injuries, if he wants to take Xiahou Yuan out of the chaos, I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of price, at this time, he needs to have a reckless man like Xiahoudun to open the way, especially the way back.

But looking at Xiahoudun's current appearance, Le Jin is really a little worried.

"Don't worry..."Seeing that Le Jin was a little worried, Cao Hong smiled. Yuan Rang is a temper that is easy to be ignited, he is usually very irritable, and even more so after being injured, no one can control it at all, but in most cases, he still cares about the overall situation, and when he sees Miaocai, he should calm down a little..."Speaking of this, he glanced at a knight of Cao Jun who was almost swept off his horse by Xiahoudun because he was a little closer to Xiahoudun, and Cao Hong sighed helplessly. "Now, it's better for us to stay away from him, after all, this guy is crazy but his six relatives don't recognize him..."

Saying this, Cao Hong waved the blade in his hand and fought again.

Cao Hong, Le Jin, etc., may not be as strong as Xiahou Yuan's martial arts, but they can also be called first-class level, these dozen or so horsemen rushed into the formation, and actually fought a passage in the formation, and rushed straight to Xiahou Yuan's side...

"Miaocai, come with us!" Maybe he really calmed down a little, after seeing Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, who was still angry, actually calmed down, and shouted at Xiahou Yuan, who was already embarrassed.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan was already embarrassed, covered with blood all over his body, and he no longer had the bearing of the previous general of Cao Jun.
