706, one blow and crushed
This Hongmen is also the old place of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's Hongmen banquet, which is a place of some special significance.
From Hongmen to the front, it is the eastern suburb of Chang'an City (where Bailuyuan is located), it can be said that after Hongmen, you can directly face Chang'an City.
It's just that on the side of Hongmen, there are two generals, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, who belong to Han Sui's forces, and they are stationed on a relatively high slope in Hongmen with nearly 5,000 cavalry.
They are the outermost army sent by Han Sui, perhaps Han Sui sent them to test the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's army.
As a result, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, and Jiang Wan sent scouts to take a look at the garrison of 5,000 cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, and let Zhang Liao pounce directly with nearly 10,000 light cavalry.
Zhang Liao, who rode the famous horse "Lu", can be regarded as a leader, and I don't know if this Lu horse has played the significance of the horse king guiding ordinary war horses, or has the special famous horse treasure bonus of the Three Kingdoms game system, and the horse speed of nearly 10,000 light horsemen under Zhang Liao's command is indeed a few points faster than in normal conditions.
At this time, the scouts of Zhu Wei's army found the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Play, and the scouts of Cheng Yi and Ma Play also discovered Zhu Wei's army, but before the scouts of Cheng Yi and Ma Play drove back to report, the more than 10,000 light cavalry led by Zhang Liao had already caught up with them, and then surpassed them and killed the 5,000 Liangzhou cavalry garrisons of Cheng Yi and Ma Play.
Although Chengyi and Mawan are stationed on a high slope of the plain, as a cavalry unit, their camp is also relatively simple, it can be said that their camp is more like a temporary camp for the Qianghu nomadic aliens, and there is no camp wall fence around it, so that it is convenient for them to get on their horses and run at any time.
However, at this time, in the face of Zhang Liao's sudden attack with light cavalry, they also had no way to find a way to stop it, so after Cheng Yi and Ma Play discovered the abnormality, although they hurriedly urged their cavalry to get on their horses and prepare for battle, it was already a little too late.
In the chaotic plan of the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry of Chengyi and Ma Play, Zhang Liao took more than 10,000 light cavalry to kill, although it was directly separated from two groups of cavalry that surrounded Cheng Yi and Ma Play, but almost all the light cavalry shot a feather arrow at the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry of Cheng Yi and Ma Play in this process.
For a while, the feather arrows in the air were like a rain of arrows pressed by black, and they covered and fell from both sides over the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry of Chengyi and the horses.
"Whoosh...... Whoa......"
"Uh... Ahh ”
As the rain of arrows fell, at least half of the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Play were shot by feather arrows, many of them were shot in the head and fell directly to the ground, and many more were injured by feather arrows, so they let out various shouts in their mouths.
However, the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao did not take advantage of the situation to rush towards the Liangzhou cavalry formation of Chengyi and Horse Play, but went around to the direction behind them, and staggered past each other, approaching in a scattered formation in the direction of Chengyi and the chaotic cavalry, and shot a round of feather arrows again.
Although the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Play can also play riding and archery, most of them also need to stop the war horse in order to shoot arrows with the war horse between their legs.
It can be said that the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan more often directly used assault and killing the enemy's military formation as their main tactic, and naturally did not have the Mongolian Mangu tactics of later generations.
However, now, Zhu Wei's cavalry does not fight with them in close quarters at all, but only shoots feather arrows from afar, plus there are at least nearly 10,000 cavalry on Zhu Wei's side, that is, it is really difficult to resist in the face of nearly 10,000 feather arrows.
The first round of feather arrow attacks, perhaps because the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Play was not adaptable, so they were raided, but as Zhu Wei's light cavalry reversed the attack again, Cheng Yi and Ma Play finally reacted.
But at this moment, the 5,000 Liangzhou cavalry they led had already lost nearly half of them under the sudden attack, and although there were still 2 or 3,000 cavalry, they did not dare to counterattack in the direction of nearly 10,000 Zhuwei cavalry.
To be honest, at this moment, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were already a little unable to control the cavalry under their hands, but they each reluctantly gathered hundreds of close cavalry around them, and then went in the opposite direction where the Zhu Wei cavalry rushed to kill at this time, and galloped away on horseback, trying to escape from the range of the Zhu Wei cavalry's feather arrows.
It can be said that Zhang Liao took nearly 10,000 light cavalry with a round of impact, and used feather arrows to defeat the 5,000 Liangzhou cavalry of Cheng Yi and Ma Play, so that Cheng Yi and Ma Play only escaped with more than 1,000 cavalry.
So Zhang Liao sent two or three thousand cavalry to stay, forced the remnants of the Liangzhou cavalry to surrender, and he himself took the remaining light cavalry to continue to pursue and kill in the direction of Chengyi and Ma Wan.
For a while, seven or eight thousand light cavalry were also scattered, like a big net scattered in the direction of the more than 1,000 Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan.
Feather arrows were also shot out in the light cavalry's bow and string, which inevitably made the Liangzhou cavalry fleeing in front of them be hit by arrows from time to time and fall off their horses, which made Cheng Yi and Ma Play even more frightened and did not dare to stop.
It's just that Cheng Yi and Ma Play forgot one thing, just now Zhang Liao and the light cavalry first bypassed the position where they were stationed, so that now the direction in which Cheng Yi and Ma Play fled is the direction where Zhang Liao and the cavalry came.
As a result, Cheng Yi and Ma Yu fled for a while, but suddenly found that there was a black heavy armored cavalry in front of them waiting for them to send it.
Behind him, Zhu Wei's light cavalry chased closely and quickly, and they couldn't help but dodge and escape, so Cheng Yi and Ma Yu, who fled in front on horseback, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Cheng Yi and Ma Wan are now in their thirties, and they can become famous figures in Liangzhou, and they are naturally the elite of a hundred battles who grew up in the process of following Han Sui and Ma Teng in the process of rebellion, and their combat experience is not insufficient.
But they didn't expect that they would be crushed by Zhu Wei's cavalry, and now they are in a desperate situation where there is nowhere to escape.
"Horse play, what should I do, I didn't expect Zhu Wei's cavalry to be so powerful, there are heavy armored cavalry in front of me to block it, I'm afraid we won't be able to rush over at all!"
Cheng Yi shouted at Ma To, at this moment, the more than 1,000 cavalry he brought out with Ma Play can be regarded as their henchman cavalry, so the clothes and armor on his body are much neater than those other ordinary Liangzhou cavalry.
But even so, the cavalry they led could only be regarded as light cavalry, and it was impossible to compare with the heavy cavalry in front of them, who were all dressed in iron-clad armor and even covered with iron-clad on their horses.
To be honest, even the armor worn by Cheng Yi and Ma Play may not be able to compare with the equipment of Zhu Wei's heavy armored cavalry in front, so there is no way to fight at all......
