These cavalry were sent by Liu Bei to carry out a search and shelter mission. The three thousand cavalry, like an iron curtain, completely covered up the situation on Liu Bei's side.

And Liu Bei's Qingzhou army was able to get close enough to be discovered only a few dozen miles away from Yuan Shao's army, of course, it was a decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and there were too few reconnaissance and cavalry sentinels, and it was also because of this powerful cavalry that this powerful cavalry existed, and all the scouts of Yuan Shao's army were killed, which caused the one-way transparency of the battlefield.

The so-called "exhaustive strategy" is actually to establish one-way transparency in this kind of battlefield.

"General, subordinates are incompetent, this time I let go of a few Yuan Shaojun's scouts, please punish the general." A team of cavalry came, and the cavalry who led the team Qu Chang hugged his fist at Zhao Yun and pleaded guilty.

"Don't call me a general, call me a captain." Zhao Yun corrected.

It is normal for subordinates to call their superiors higher, and under normal circumstances, no one cares about this, but Zhao Zilong is not ordinary, and he has to correct it every time.

However, Zhao Zilong corrected the title of his subordinates, it was a high-spirited and bright festival, and if his subordinates really came up, they would directly call him "school captain", then his subordinates didn't understand the reason.

"Yes, Captain." Na Qu Chang knew that this was the result, so he immediately changed his words, and continued: "Yuan Benchu just had a big battle with Gongsun Zhan, and it seems that he has already won. Now that Yuan Benchu's scouts have fled, what to do next, please ask the general to show me. ”

Zhao Zilong thought about it for a while, and it was better to definitely gather the cavalry first, at least within the range of five hundred cavalry and one Sima, so as to prevent Yuan Shaojun, who had discovered himself, from sending people to attack. Then send someone to inform Liu Bei and decide what to do next.

Zhao Yun was actually a little cautious in this decision.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry assault is not how strong the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is, but the fact that the scouts have no time to convey the intelligence of the enemy attack in time.

When the scouts rushed back to report the enemy's situation, the infantry had no time to set up their formation, and they had already been killed by the cavalry. And the infantry, which is not arranged in a close formation, is simply a lamb to the slaughter in the face of the onslaught of the cavalry.

However, it cannot be said that Zhao Yun's decision was wrong, after all, war horses need time to recover their energy and physical strength. Generally speaking, a war horse needs to rest, eat and drink after galloping at full strength for an hour or so, otherwise it will lose its mobility. At that time, the speed of movement of cavalry was even inferior to that of infantry. Therefore, the physical strength of the war horse must have a sufficient reserve!

Including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all the generals under Liu Bei were selected by Liu Bei with historical experience.

In other words, these people, in fact, have a little bit of "pulling out the seedlings to help them grow".

Even generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are at the level of seventy-two generals in history, need time and experience to grow.

Without these experiences, these generals can only be said to be talented and potential future famous generals, but cannot be called real famous generals.

Therefore, Zhao Yun did not lose time at the first time and launched an assault, but hesitated, in addition to his cautious character, it was also related to Zhao Yun's lack of battlefield experience.

A team of cavalry was sent by Zhao Yun to report to Liu Bei. And Zhao Yun himself gathered all the cavalry and prepared to cover the battlefield and cover the arrival of Liu Bei's army. This is also the task that Liu Bei sent to Zhao Yun before departure, Zhao Yun led thousands of cavalry alone for the first time, and his mentality was a little cautious and conservative, which was also human nature.

At this time, Wen Chou, who had received Yuan Shao's order, rushed over to intercept Liu Bei's Qingzhou army, and he had already found that the horsepower of the cavalry under his command was about to run out.

However, Wen Chou watched Zhao Yun assembling cavalry from afar, he gritted his teeth, and was still ready to step forward to meet the enemy, so as to buy Yuan Shao enough time to adjust his military deployment.

In fact, this is Wen Chou's wrong judgment, he thinks that Zhao Yun gathered cavalry to raid Yuan Shao.

This is also human nature, when the two armies are facing each other, where can it be so easy to judge the other party's intentions.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's gathering of cavalry was regarded as Wen Chou, who was going to raid Yuan Shao, took a short rest, and immediately led the charge of the team.

And Zhao Yun had already seen Wen Chou and the cavalry under his command, in Zhao Yun's opinion, Wen Chou just wanted to disrupt Liu Bei's march, and Zhao Yun received the task of covering Liu Bei's main force, so he naturally had to lead his men to step forward immediately and engage Wen Chou.

According to the normal march, the striker will generally maintain a distance of about a day between the striker and the main force. However, this march was not normal, Liu Bei was not far behind Zhao Yun, and he could arrive in half a day at most.

Zhao Yun's cavalry was numerous, but it was distributed on the battlefield close to hundreds of miles, and it was relatively scattered. Wen Chou's cavalry was few, but it was a concentrated group of soldiers and horses. When Zhao Yun saw this, he first led the five hundred cavalry gathered under his command and launched a charge against Wen Chou, wanting to drag Wen Chou first, and wait until the other cavalry arrived, which would be the end of Wen Chou.

Wen Chou is also a good general, and he immediately discovered Zhao Yun's attempt, and saw Zhao Yun kill him in a straight line, all the way like a bamboo, even if Wen Chou blocked him, he would be driven over by other cavalry and beaten by others. simply waved the command flag in his hand, and led the men and horses of the headquarters not to fight with Zhao Yun who rushed over, but to kill on the other side, and directly led the troops to kill a team of cavalry that had not yet arrived and concentrated. After dispersing this group of cavalry, he then killed another team, not giving Zhao Yun a chance to entangle him at all.

Zhao Yun chased after Wen Chou's buttocks, and on the other hand, he collected the cavalry that was scattered by Wen Chou, and shouted to the scattered cavalry to move closer to Zhao Yun, and these scattered cavalry also quickly followed Zhao Yun to gather, and the more people and horses gathered.

He also sent men to let the cavalry on the other side gather and converge again, so as not to fight into a refueling tactic and be broken by Wen Chou one by one.

At this time, Wen Chou was embarrassed, he successively scattered several teams of cavalry under Zhao Yun that had not yet had time to assemble, although there were some results, but he found that more and more people led by Zhao Yun were chasing behind him, and no one in front of him let him assault.

If Wen Chou turned around and fought Zhao Yun, when he slowed down, Zhao Yun would be able to beat his men and horses to pieces. If you don't turn back to fight, the horsepower of the cavalry under Zhao Yun is obviously better than that of Wen Chou's cavalry. dragged it down, and in the end, he could only be caught up by Zhao Yun from behind, and then all his soldiers and horses were caught up and killed.

It's not okay to escape, as soon as Wen Chou escapes, the whole army will collapse, and the horsepower is not as good as the other party, and when he escapes, he will also be chased and killed.

Thinking of this, Wen Chou turned his heart sideways, and simply went to assault Liu Bei's main force of the Chinese army, anyway, it was all about delaying the other party's advance, leaving Yuan Shao time to adjust, and where to fight is not to fight.
