Chapter 220: Zhao Jun Cavalry
"What? Do you want to challenge the general's cavalry? ”
"Exactly, Ben General wants to see what the Qiang cavalry is good at?" Zhao Yun said slowly.
"As you wish." Beigong Boyu was secretly happy when he heard this, Zhao Yun had a certain influence among the Qiang soldiers, and if he could defeat the cavalry led by Zhao Yun in such an engagement, it would be more meaningful than defeating the Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo.
The strength of one's martial arts does not mean that one can win in leading the cavalry into battle, and the gap between the cavalry of the Han army and the cavalry of the Qiang people is not half a star.
Dong Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Yun stepped forward, he should have been grateful, but he didn't have the slightest good impression of Zhao Yun, and retreated into the rear army with a cold snort.
Le Jin ordered five hundred cavalry and set up a formation behind Zhao Yun.
This is the first large-scale battle experienced by the cavalry of Zhao County, and it is a confrontation between cavalry, for this battle, Zhao Yun attaches great importance to this battle, and will never understand the gap between the two sides if he does not fight with the strong enemy army.
At the same time, the five hundred Qiang cavalry were also ready, and the cavalry led by Zhao Yun was fighting this time, Beigong Boyu attached great importance to it, and the leading general was Li Wenhou.
"If it's possible, kill Zhao Yun at all costs." Beigong Boyu whispered.
Li Wenhou nodded solemnly, a spark of hatred flashed in his eyes, he was a fierce general among the Qiang people, but he failed against Zhao Yun before, such a failure, endure it, only by killing Zhao Yun can he wash away the humiliation of the previous defeat.
"Kill!" Li Wenhou and Zhao Yun gave the order to charge almost at the same time.
The stirrup is a very wonderful thing, if there is no stirrup to help, the cavalry wants to control the horse freely is to need years of training, it is such an inconspicuous thing, so that the cavalry's riding skills have been rapidly improved, no one can imagine that the cavalry that followed Zhao Yun's charge, the formation time did not exceed a year.
Bows and arrows are an important means of killing enemies for cavalry.
Without Zhao Yun's order, when they were about a hundred paces away from the Qiang cavalry, the Zhao County cavalry was already in hand with bows and arrows.
The bright silver spear hung on the victory hook, took off the strong bow, and with a low shout, the bow was like a full moon, and a Qiang cavalry at the front fell in response, and he didn't even have time to release the arrow in his hand.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo's gaze at Zhao Yun added three points of fear, he was a fierce general, and he was also a well-known figure in Liangzhou, from Zhao Yun's shot, he felt that it was extraordinary, there was a distance of one hundred and ten steps from the Qiang cavalry, but he shot down the Qiang cavalry so casually.
The arrows on both sides come and go, and the cavalry of Zhao Jun dodge the arrows on the horses, which is absolutely flexible, compared to the Qiang cavalry, but some cavalry experience this kind of war for the first time, lack of sufficient experience, and when dealing with the Qiang cavalry, they are a little panicked.
The exchange of arrows made Beigong Boyu's eyes tighten, and he was surprised to find that the number of Qiang cavalry who had fallen from their horses was more than that of the cavalry under Zhao Yun, which meant that the cavalry under Zhao Yun surpassed the Qiang cavalry in the art of riding and archery.
Mounted archery is the foundation of cavalry, and the quality of mounted archery is directly related to the results of battle.
If you can't achieve an overwhelming advantage in mounted archery, it will cause a lot of trouble for the rest of the battle.
The battle will not stop because of Beigong Boyu's worries, and the cavalry of the two sides began a head-on confrontation after the exchange of arrows, which is the key to the battle.
In terms of equipment, the cavalry of Zhao County is much better than the elite of the Han army, and the treasury of Zhao County is full, and Zhao Yun spares no effort in building cavalry, and the blades and armor used are all excellent.
The flexible riding skills gave the Zhao cavalry more opportunities to save their lives on the battlefield.
At first, the cavalry of Zhao County may have been a little flustered, but as the battle progressed, they gradually forgot the horror of the Qiang cavalry, and their belief was to kill the enemy as much as possible in such an engagement.
Strict training is to prepare for the battlefield, although the training time of the Zhaojun cavalry is not much, even if it is the elite Han cavalry in terms of strictness, it cannot be compared.
At the front of the battlefield, the white cloak hunted, and the bright silver spear danced, taking the life of a famous Qiang cavalryman.
In just a short period of time, the number of cavalry killed in Zhao Yun's hands reached five, which was an absolutely terrifying number on the battlefield where the cavalry clashed.
Many Qiang cavalry looked at Zhao Yun with jealous eyes, they had heard of Zhao Yun's prestige before, and now when they encountered it on the battlefield, it was really as fierce as the rumors, and they also needed more thought.
The main general is brave, and the ordinary cavalry naturally uses their lives, and after overcoming their inner fears, they gradually find the feeling of previous training, and some cavalrymen find that there is not much difference between fighting the Qiang cavalry and their usual training.
The billowing dust and smoke filled the air again, and the people on the periphery couldn't see the situation inside the venue at all.
If Huangfu Song's heart said that it is impossible not to be nervous, after the defeat of the cavalry under Dong Zhuo, if Zhao Yun cannot win, what impact will it cause, and then the Qiang army will be even more rampant, a hearty victory is what the Han army needs most at this time.
Dong Zhuo tried hard to see the situation on the field but couldn't, losing in the hands of the Qiang cavalry was not a shame for the Flying Bear Army, for the creation of the Flying Bear Army, Dong Zhuo invested a lot of money.
Among the generals of the Han army, the most calm is the Yue cavalry captain Zhou He, who has seen Zhao Yun many times, and his confidence in Zhao Yun is not what ordinary people can imagine, the situation on the Yellow Turban battlefield was so critical, but Zhao Yun, who led the cavalry to fight, made great achievements.
The same cavalry, in the hands of different generals, will show different combat effectiveness.
In fact, sometimes, Zhou He was also quite envious of Zhao Yun, who became the Taishou of Zhao County at a young age, with 3,000 cavalry under his command, how carefree.
The twin halberds flew up, and Dian Wei who followed Zhao Yun's side, if he was a demon from hell, although Dian Wei was not good at riding, this was relative to Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei's charge on the battlefield was terrifying.
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, like a sharp sword, pierced into the ranks of the Qiang people, and wherever they passed, people turned over on their backs.
Half an hour later, the situation in the city gradually became clear, but it was Li Wenhou who led the Qiang cavalry to retreat on their own initiative.
Fighting with the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Li Wenhou was extremely depressed, in his opinion, he only needed to command the cavalry to continue to move forward, and he would definitely be able to defeat Zhao Yun, and when Li Wenhou found out for Zhao Yun, the situation was reversed.
