Chapter 579: The Battle of the Cavalry at the Foot of Mount Hua (Part I)
At the middle of the day, at the foot of the northern foot of Mount Hua.
It is more than ten miles away from the Liangjing Straight Road.
In the middle of a grove of trees, countless horses are tied to books.
The neighing of the horses is singular and does not reach the Liangjing Straight.
Three thousand soldiers dressed in bright light armor hid in the woods to avoid the scorching sun.
At this time, a soldier galloped to the foot of the mountain, turned over and dismounted.
Leaning against a tree in the forest, Zhao Yun immediately got up and prepared to walk out of the woods.
"Tell the general that I found the traces of the Xiliang cavalry, a total of 5,000 cavalry, hovering above the straight. Within half an hour, I will go to the straight road, and I will be able to intercept the Xiliang cavalry. ”
The soldier said to Zhao Yun.
"Someone, put on your armor, count your weapons, assemble your troops and horses, and prepare for a surprise attack!"
Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers.
"No!"
The soldier commanded.
"General, do you want the whole army to go out together!"
Bai Lan came to Zhao Yun and asked Zhao Yun.
"The prime minister gave me 3,000 elite soldiers, of course, they will be dispatched together to solve the battle earlier!"
Zhao Yun replied to Bai Lan.
"Please forgive Bai Lan for bluntly saying that the husband and the soldier are flexible. When the two armies fight, if they do not use strategy, they only rely on bravery, and they suffer more casualties and one soldier, which is a loss to our army. The art of war is to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest victory. ”
Bai Lan arched his hand to Zhao Yun and said.
"Time is limited, I don't know what tricks Zifeng can advise!"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said humbly to Bai Lan.
"The Xiliang cavalry went out of Huayin City, intending to cooperate with Li Dao and Guo Yan to jointly flank the prime minister. All generals know that once the army is flanked from both sides, it will lose the advantage of the opponent. However, the enemy is clear and we are secret, and our army can use the way of others to govern them. ”
Bai Lan suggested to Zhao Yun: "The general can first send a thousand soldiers and horses out of the mountain to intercept the Xiliang cavalry, but there is no need to conflict, only ride and shoot to meet the enemy, and go west." Seeing that the general has few people, the Xiliang cavalry will definitely pursue lightly. At that time, the general sent another 2,000 Longxiang cavalry to rush out and block the back road of the Xiliang cavalry. Flanked from both sides, the enemy army has no way to retreat, no way to advance, and it will be completely annihilated! ”
"That's a brilliant plan!"
Zhao Yun took Bai Lan's suggestion and ordered his subordinates: "I personally led a thousand elite cavalry to intercept the Xiliang cavalry. Zifeng led two thousand elite cavalry and raided the rear of the Xiliang cavalry. ”
"No!"
The generals commanded.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun rode a thousand horses, all on a single horse.
Follow the jungle path and run straight to Liangjing.
Hu Feng led 5,000 cavalry out of Huayin to the west, in order to prevent Liu Fan from ambushing, he sent spies all the way to investigate, and also tried to find out Liu Fan's traces, whether he was fighting with Li Dao and Guo Yan.
"Tell the general, there are traces of enemy troops found ahead, and there are probably more than 1,000 horsemen."
The spy galloped over and told Hu Feng.
"More than a thousand rides? Could it be that Liu Fan left the broken aftermath? ”
Hu Feng had a question in his heart.
"But go and test, if our army arrives and the enemy attacks, there will be deception! If our army arrives and the enemy runs, then pursue! ”
Hu Feng's cavalry general suggested to Hu Feng.
After thinking for a while, Hu Feng ordered his subordinates: "The army is pressed in, and once there is anything abnormal, retreat immediately."
In this way, Hu Feng led the cavalry to confront Zhao Yun.
At this time, Hu Feng had to do this. Sticking to Huayin will be at the end of the road, and only by fighting to the death can there be a turnaround.
Just above the Liangjing Straight Road, Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry to stand here, lighting a fire on the road, as if preparing to bury the pot and make rice.
Looking at the dust flying in the east, Zhao Yun shouted: "Get on your horse, run west along the straight road, the enemy pursues, shoot it!"
After receiving Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers who were originally on the road got on their horses and ran into the distance.
After Hu Feng led his troops to the place where Zhao Yun was standing just now, he saw the fires lit all over the ground, plus the phenomenon next to him, this was about to build a stove.
"Catch up with this army of soldiers and horses, exterminate them, and weaken Liu Fan's strength!"
Hu Feng yelled at the soldier and rushed forward with his sword.
The five thousand cavalry were mighty, and they wanted to crush the few with more people.
Zhao Yun in the west deliberately slowed down. Everyone in the Longxiang cavalry rode good horses from the north, otherwise they would soon be able to throw off the Xiliang cavalry.
Although the Xiliang horse is strong, it has great strength. But the Northland horse has a long-lasting endurance and a long-distance run, and the West Cool Horse will definitely be thrown away. Not to mention the Northland horses selected among the millions of horses.
Gradually, the cavalry under Hu Feng's command got closer and closer to the Long Xiang cavalry.
"Liangzhou Malaysia, dominate the world! Sons, kill! ”
Hu Feng was complacent, thinking that he was winning in horsepower, and he was about to catch up with Zhao Yun.
The Xiliang soldiers were full of impact, whipping their horses to speed up, wanting to rush over and crush the dragon cavalry in one fell swoop.
Zhao Yun looked back and saw that the Xiliang cavalry was only one hundred and fifty steps away from his rear army.
"Soldiers, release the arrows!"
Zhao Yun shouted and took the lead in taking out his bow and arrow from the side of the horse.
The soldiers all turned, drew their bows and arrows, raised an arc, and threw them into the air.
Due to the small number of people, the power of the projectile was not very large, and only a few dozen people in the front army of the Xiliang cavalry fell off their horses, which did not affect the morale of the Xiliang cavalry.
After a rain of arrows, the Xiliang cavalry had reached the Longxiang cavalry a hundred paces.
Hu Feng ordered the Xiliang cavalry to fire arrows to counterattack.
And Zhao Yun knew Hu Feng's purpose, and ordered Long Xiang to ride a whip horse to speed up.
The Northland horse ran normally for dozens of miles, and there was no waste of strength at all, the dragon knight waved the horsewhip, and the Northland horse was excited, and ran forward quickly.
All at once, the distance was stretched to two hundred paces. As a result, a wave of arrows and rain of arrows of the Xiliang cavalry failed.
"Damn, chase!"
Hu Feng didn't expect that at this time, he could accelerate in an orderly manner.
"General, something is wrong! When the enemy flees for his life, he will definitely go all out, and the enemy army obviously has a lot of spare strength to show this kind of action. I heard that the war horses under Liu Fan's command are all from the grassland Zhuhu, this kind of warrior's war horse should be the best horse among the good horses, and the war horses of our army are uneven, separated by several miles, it is so easy to catch up, this is unreasonable! ”
The rider is observant and feels a little strange for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
Hu Feng looked at the horseman.
Although the cavalry is under his command, it does not mean that the ability is under him. If it weren't for his relationship with Li Dao, these 5,000 horsemen would not have been his turn to command.
And the rider has the courage of a thousand people, which is also the reason why Hu Feng is polite to the rider.
"The enemy is luring us! If you don't withdraw your troops, it's too late! ”
The rider suggested to Hu Feng.
However, it's too late!
As soon as the horseman's words fell, there was dust behind them.
Hu Feng and the cavalry looked back, and because the place where they were standing was too high, they could see a torrent of iron armor surging towards them!
"Stop! U-turn and hit the rear! ”
Without waiting for Hu Feng to speak, the rider raised the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand and shouted.
Suddenly, the surging momentum of the Xiliang cavalry just now was like a note.
Shi Le Ma has discovered the movement in the rear!
"What should I do?"
was invited into the urn, Hu Feng panicked, and hurriedly looked at the horseman.
