Chapter 227: Zhou He is the nephew of the general

The spear accurately blocked several arrows, and Zhao Yun rushed into the Qiang cavalry, and wherever the white horse passed, the Qiang cavalry all fell off their horses.

"He's Zhao Yun." A Qiang cavalryman shouted after recognizing Zhao Yun.

This shout made the scalps of many Qiang cavalry numb, they had heard of Zhao Yun's name, this was a fierce general in the Han army.

The bright silver spear swept away, and after swinging the spear of a Qiang cavalryman, the white horse galloped past, and this Qiang cavalry was captured by Zhao Yun.

The cavalry captured for Zhao Yun was the leader of this cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry were already frightened after hearing Zhao Yun, and without other hesitation, they rode their horses and fled.

Originally the party that was chasing and killing, at this time became the prey of the Han cavalry, from time to time the Qiang cavalry fell off their horses, but the Qiang cavalry still did not give up resistance in the process of fleeing, they tried to shoot the Han cavalry with bows and arrows in their hands.

The cavalry of Zhao County is no longer the team that first went to the battlefield, and there are many battles that have been experienced, and in response to such a situation, it can also dodge in time.

After chasing for five miles, Zhao Yun led the troops back.

"General, kill thirty-five Qiang people, capture six alive, and capture twenty war horses." A cavalryman stepped forward excitedly.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, the cavalry of his own side on this trip lost twenty people, but it eliminated forty-one enemy troops, such a record is still acceptable, the captured war horses can replenish the army, even if the cavalry in the army cannot be used for the time being, it will be useful in the future.

War horses are a scarce resource for an army.

When the sky was dark, Zhao Yun led the cavalry back to the camp, and Zhou Shen learned that there was a Qiang cavalry in front of him, and he was extremely careful in building the camp.

"General Zhao, how is the harvest?" Zhou Shen asked.

There were dots of blood on the white cloak behind Zhao Yun, and the same was true on the war horse, which was murderous.

"Six were captured alive and thirty-five were killed." Zhao Yun said disapprerovingly.

"General Zhao is brave." Zhou Shen couldn't help but praise.

"There was a dispute with General Zhao before, so it's no wonder." Zhou Shen said with a smile.

Zhou Shen knows something about Zhao Yun, this young general who has risen in the Han army has the ability.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "General Zhou is too worried, you and I are both generals in the army, for the sake of victory against the Qiang army, even if there is a dispute, it is okay." ”

"I heard that General Zhao has a lot of dealings with Zhou He?" Zhou Shen asked.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Ben will get acquainted with Zhou He on the Yellow Turban battlefield. ”

"Zhou Henai is the nephew of the general." Zhou Shen said.

Zhao Yun was slightly surprised, he hadn't heard Zhou He mention this matter when he was in the army before.

A moment later, Le Jin, who was in charge of interrogating the Qiang cavalry, came forward and told him about the interrogation.

"General Zhou, it seems that the Qiang people have an ambush ahead, and it is very likely that it is in the Qishan Mountains." Zhao Yundao.

Zhou Shen said: "General Zhao, the enemy army has an ambush, wait for the army to come, and then make a decision." ”

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "General Zhou, the general has a strategy, if it can succeed, it will definitely cause heavy losses to the Qiang people. ”

"Oh? What is General Zhao's strategy? Zhou Shen looked curious.

"General Zhou, look, the most likely place for the Qiang cavalry to ambush is Qishan, our army only needs to appear near Qishan, it must be known to the Qiang people, and the Qiang people will definitely take a surprise attack at that time, and our army only needs to be prepared in secret, why not defeat the Qiang people?" Zhao Yun pointed to Qishan Road on the marching map.

Zhou Shen's eyes lit up, and his gaze at Zhao Yun was very different, he had only heard that Zhao Yun had experience in marching and fighting before, but now it seemed that he was a resourceful person.

"Having said that, I don't know how many enemy troops there are." Zhou Shen said worriedly.

Zhao Yun said: "It's okay, tomorrow our army will set off and strive to build a camp near Qishan at dusk, in this case, the Qiang people are likely to attack at night." ”

"Okay, in General Zhao's opinion." Zhou Shen nodded.

After some conversation, Zhao Yun found that although there was a verbal conflict with Zhou Shen before, Zhou Shen at this time gave Zhao Yun a good impression.

"General Zhao is a fierce general who followed General Huangfu Song in the past, and now the commander of the Han army will be General Zhang, General Zhao should be careful." Zhou Shen reminded.

"General Zhou is too worried, the general was ordered to fight, but it was to serve the imperial court, do these people dare to secretly cause harm." Zhao Yun said disapprerovingly.

Leaving Zhou Shen's camp, Zhao Yun's mood was a little dignified, it can be seen from this appointment that Zhang Wen is not very kind to himself, Dong Zhuo has been promoted, and Yuan Peng is a member of the Yuan family, his situation in the army is indeed a little delicate, thinking of the lonely figure of Huangfu Song, Zhao Yun has strengthened his heart to make meritorious contributions.

With nearly 3,000 cavalry under his command, even if someone wanted to make a small move in the dark, what was he afraid of.

The next day, when the sky was light, the army marched again, and all the Qiang cavalry captured yesterday were killed.

At a distance of fifty miles, the foot soldiers are naturally a little tired from traveling, but the cavalry is different, and fifty miles in a day is commonplace for them.

The soldiers who followed Huangfu Song to fight in Liangzhou were also the elite of the army, although they had been on the road for a long time, they did not complain.

At nightfall, the camp was built, the camp built today is more solid than yesterday, outside the camp, a lot of obstacles are arranged, near the gate of the village, there are soldiers guarding.

Garrisoned in the camp, most of them are infantry soldiers in the army, if the Qiang people raid the camp, the most likely to use is cavalry, the impact of cavalry is strong, and the speed of action is not comparable to the foot soldiers, the most suitable for such a battle.

After Li Wenhou learned that the scouts were damaged, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and the scouts would also have a lot of losses while inquiring about the news, and what made him feel uneasy was that Zhao Yun actually led the cavalry to attack, which also led to the death of many Qiang scouts.

Immediately, Li Wenhou denied the idea that Zhao Yun would find out, Zhao Yun was a fierce general in the Han army, but this raid was also a secret among the Qiang people, maybe Zhao Yun made a move because the Qiang scouts caused a lot of casualties to the Han cavalry.

Especially the arrival of the Han army, Li Wenhou put his mind at ease, according to Li Wenhou's plan, as long as the Han army arrived, it was enough to directly rush and kill, but after the Han army came, he immediately set up camp and defended tightly, so that Li Wenhou had nowhere to start.
