Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: The Battle of Martial Arts 1

The next day, after Li Dao and Guo Yan carefully interrogated the so-called "beautiful woman that Liu Zhang used to sexually bribe Zhang Ji", the whole body of the general discussion, they who had just pacified Ma Teng and Han Sui can be described as high-spirited, Liu Zhang is just a barbarian in Qunyizhou in their eyes, if it weren't for Ding Qiang, Li Le and others who are too wasteful, how could Liu Zhang cross the Qinling Mountains one step! They seem to have forgotten that a few years ago they had been named to support Zhang Lu, but they were beaten by Liu Zhang and retreated to Guanzhong, no, they did not forget, but in their opinion, the defeat of Hanzhong was actually not a crime of war, the Xiliang army dominated the world with cavalry, and the poor mountains and bad waters of Yizhou were not suitable for cavalry combat at all, which led to the defeat of Hanzhong, but now the situation is completely different, Liu Zhang went out of Yizhou and came to the land of Guanzhong, which is the home field of them and their cavalry, even Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc., have a large number of elite cavalry, the heroes who have been entrenched in Guanzhong for decades have been defeated, do they still need to be afraid of Liu Zhang? Their hearts were extremely inflated, and they didn't put Liu Zhang in their eyes at all, with only the 50,000 elite horses in their hands, they believed that they would be able to defeat Liu Zhang, after all, in the era of cold weapons, cavalry was definitely the most powerful military branch, and there was no one! And among their 50,000 elite horsemen, there are 15,000 Qiang people who grew up on horseback, Qiang people, that is a nation on horseback, like the Xiongnu and Hu people, born to be the best cavalry!

Although Li Dao was arrogant, he also understood that without the help of the infantry, it would be impossible for his cavalry to attack the enemy camp, but he could not let his soldiers do nothing like this, and wait for the infantry to arrive, otherwise the morale would be lost, which would not be conducive to the follow-up battle. Hu Cai, the general of Li Dao's troops, saw what Li Dao meant, so Mao recommended himself and asked to lead the troops to challenge the enemy.

Li Dao thinks that if Liu Zhang is afraid to avoid war, it can hit his morale, if he dares to fight easily, with the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is also good to cut off one of Liu Zhang's arms, as for failure, he never thought about it! Didn't you see Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had lived on horseback all their lives, let him be destroyed? What is there to be afraid of? He knew that there were almost no horses in Yizhou, and he had heard that only in the extreme west, in the mountains full of obstacles, there were only a small number of skinny foals that were almost negligible, and that kind of horses were a group of dwarfs compared to the tall and mighty Xiliang war horses, and they were not even qualified to be pack horses! Of course, many people know that Liu Zhang got the matter of merging horses through Lu Bu, but the cavalry is not only a horse is enough, the important thing is the person who rides a horse to fight, the cavalry is not just on horseback, there is no horse pedal, let alone fighting, just riding on horseback for a long march is an extremely difficult task, so training a qualified cavalry often requires ten times more money and time than training an infantry...... Because of this, Li Dao never took Liu Zhang's cavalry to heart, even if Li Le told him that Liu Zhang sent more than 30,000 cavalry (Li Le exaggerated Liu Zhang's strength in order to get rid of his crimes, Li Le didn't know, it was because of his words that Li Dao and Dong Zhuo both made a misjudgment, thinking that Liu Zhang's main force was all here, which made them stare at the martial arts camp tightly, which eventually led to Wei Yan's slow reaction after breaking through the Sanguan, and Wei Yan was like entering a no-man's land, Lianke Town), In his opinion, most of the more than 30,000 cavalry were just infantry on horseback, so he nodded and agreed to Hu Cai's request to lead 5,000 cavalry from his headquarters to challenge.

Hu Cai picked up the five thousand horsemen under his command, and rushed to Liu Zhang's camp with a roar, he seemed to have seen that Shougong was already waving to him!

Soon, Hu Caijun bypassed Wugong County and saw the huge Liu Zhang's camp in the open space from a distance.

"Brothers, rush me, scare these barbarians of the Yizhou army, and let them live in the shadow of our army for the rest of their lives...... Kill ......" Hu Cai shouted, raised his horsewhip, stepped off his mount, and immediately threw off his hooves and rushed towards Liu Zhang's camp.

"Kill...... 5,000 cavalry shouted in unison, urging their mounts to gallop closely after Hu.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up the entire martial arts county, and on the city wall, the defenders watched the spectacular scene of the cavalry galloping, and couldn't help but raise the weapons in their hands and applaud in unison, sweeping away the decadence of defeat.

Although the soldiers on duty heard the deafening roar and the yellow sand flying all over the sky, they were not afraid, look at the trenches and deer under their feet, as well as the high earthen wall, what else is there to be afraid of? After all, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it's not a bird, is it? It's great to be fenced off, anyway, there is food in the camp, and you won't go hungry for a month!

In fact, there was no need to report it, Liu Zhang immediately understood what was going on when he heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves, but he also didn't pay attention to it.

After a short time, Xun You, Gao Shun and others came one after another, and they soon understood the situation.

Xun You hit the nail on the head and said: "It will take a few days for the infantry of the Xiliang Army to arrive, and this time Li Dao sent troops to attack, it is definitely not the main attack, I am afraid that he just wants to test the reality of our army, or to hit the morale of our army!" ”

Gao Shun also said: "The last general also thinks that this is the case, listening to this momentum, there are about 5,000 riders, and at most 6,000...... The other side will definitely fight outside the camp......"

Everyone is of a similar view.

After a short time, a sentinel came to report that the enemy was fighting outside the camp.

After Liu Zhang asked the commander of the army the number of enemy soldiers, he looked at the generals who were eager to try, and finally looked at Zhou Cang and Wu Ming, thinking that if other people were all cavalry, if they sent infantry to fight, they would lose in momentum, and it seemed that it was better to send cavalry to fight and kill the morale of the enemy! Thinking of this, he said: "Zhou Cang, Wu Ming, you two lead the Tiger Guard Division Cavalry Brigade to battle, remember, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, be sure to leave the enemy general, if the enemy will be killed, after being captured, the enemy army is in turmoil, you can take advantage of the situation to rush to kill, but remember to stop in moderation!" ”

Zhou Cang and Wu Ming both said: "Obey!" With that, they turned and left.

Gao Shun, Hou Cheng and others watched the two leave with envy.

After a while, Zhou Cang and Wu Ming ordered the soldiers and horses, the north gate of the camp slowly opened, and the two led three thousand horsemen to gallop out of the camp, and when they were young, they ran to the place where Hu Cai was a stone's throw away.

Seeing that the other party had superb riding skills and a mighty mount, Hu Cai put away a lot of contempt for a while, raised his spear and urged the mount to slowly take a few steps forward, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

Zhou Cang said: "Zhou Cang, the general of the Great Han Cavalry and the commander of the Cavalry Brigade of the Wuwei Division under the command of Lord Hou Liu of Chengdu!" ”

Wu Ming's urn said angrily: "Wu Ming! ”

Knowing that it was Liu Zhang's personal guard general, Hu Cai was even more cautious, after all, everyone understood that if it wasn't for the three armies of Yongguan, it would be impossible to be the personal guard general of the princes of one side.

Hu Cai said: "I think the two generals are not in the pool, why should they work for that Liu Zhang?" At present, hundreds of thousands of troops of my family are about to surround Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's fall is imminent, why don't you abandon the darkness and surrender to my family, if the two are willing to surrender, I promise the two of you, the glory and wealth will be enjoyed endlessly! ”

"Do you want Zhou to surrender? You ask Dong Zhuo to come over and kowtow to Zhou three times, and Zhou is willing to think about it! ”

"Be bold ......," Hu Cai scolded.

"Bold ......" Zhou Cang's voice is louder than him, and he doesn't have a good impression of Dong Zhuo, when Dong Zhuo was crusading against the Yellow Turban, he killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and Zhou Cang has always remembered this account!

"Dong Zhuo is perverse, all kinds of crimes are too numerous to mention, Zhou is a good man, loyal and righteous, how can he be as shameless and shameless as you and recognize a thief as his father? Zhou Mou advised, leave early, you can avoid death, otherwise when my lord breaks through Chang'an and captures Dong Zhuo alive, it seems that you and other willing thieves, and your family will also be implicated by you, and the crime is not small! ”

"Ridiculous......"

"Laugh at your mother, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, you will get out, Lao Tzu has no time to talk to you!" Zhou Cang scolded, he is not a person who likes to talk about it, especially as an enemy, he doesn't want to waste his saliva even more, and it is already surprising that he can say the previous words.

Hu Cai laughed a few times and said, "General Ben is afraid that you won't succeed?" General Ben will let you see the power of General Ben today, come on! After drinking, he rushed over with his gun.

Zhou Cang shouted: "It's good to come!" He was about to rush up, but he heard Wu Ming say: "He is mine!" After that, without waiting for Zhou Cang to refute, he jumped off his mount, with a six-edged steel mace in his right hand and an iron birch shield in his left hand, and threw off his footsteps and rushed towards Hu Cai. Looking at Wu Ming's wild footsteps, Zhou Cang couldn't help but shake his head, the majesty of the commander in front of the battle was snatched away! He knew that there was nothing to do with him, he knew very well that Wu Ming was on par with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others, and his personal combat strength was much higher than him.
