Kuai Yue's words woke up Liu Biao, and Liu Biao immediately ordered Huang Zudao: "Huang Taishou, you quickly lead the Jiangxia soldiers of your headquarters to form a formation to meet the enemy, and you must block Wei Yan's cavalry, otherwise we will all be finished!" ”

Huang Zu is a member of the Lu Huang clan in Jiangxia, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiangxia Huang clan is a famous scholar family, that is, the famous minister Huang Xiang family, Liu Biao served as the pastor of Jingzhou, reused the local wealthy clan forces, and Huang Zu served as the Jiangxia Taishou. In April of the second year of Chuping (191), Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to conquer Jingzhou and attack Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to fight between Fancheng and Dengxian. Sun Jian defeated Huang Zu, took advantage of the victory to pursue, crossed the Han River, and surrounded Xiangyang. Liu Biao closed his door without a fight, and sent Huang Zu out of the city at night to mobilize soldiers. Huang Zu returned with his troops, and Sun Jianfu fought with him. Huang Zu was defeated and fled to the Da Xian Mountains, where Sun Jian pursued. Huang Zubu will launch a dark arrow from the bamboo forest, and Sun Jian will be killed by the arrow. Huang Zu relied on this victory, proud of his achievements, and then gradually had a semi-independent suspicion in Jiangxia, Liu Biao had long been dissatisfied with him, just to unanimously confront foreign enemies, especially Eastern Wu, Huang Zu led the troops stationed in Shaxian, many times to guard against the attack of the Sun army from Jiangdong, although historical records against the Sun army almost showed the upper hand, and even repeatedly defeated, but relying on Liu Biao's defense strategy, its Jiangxia territory has never fallen into the hands of the Sun family, and only the military and civilians were captured, in addition, Huang Zujun also shot Ling Cao, Xu Kun's small victory, Liu Biao has not moved Huang Zu.

Now, being able to block Wei Yan and weaken Huang Zu, and be able to kill two birds with one stone, Liu Biao certainly gave the order without hesitation.

Huang Zu's heart sank, he was not a fool, of course he understood Liu Biao's sinister intentions, and hurriedly said: "The enemy army is full of cavalry, the elite is very elite, my Jiangxia soldiers are mostly naval troops, the land battle is unfavorable, and the morale is low, how can you resist!" ”

Liu Biao said sharply: "Your Jiangxia soldiers are the elite division of our Jingzhou army, how can they not stop Wei Yan's tired army!" This is the general's order, if you dare to resist, behead! ”

Liu Biao has an official, who is one size older than Jingzhou Mu, that is, General Zhennan, because General Zhennan also leads the military of Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

Seeing Liu Biao say this, coupled with the fact that Huang Zu still had to rely on Liu Biao's naval army to return to Jiangxia, he had no choice but to gather Jiangxia soldiers to form a formation to fight against Wei Yan's cavalry!

Seeing that Huang Zu complied with the military order, Liu Biao was relieved to flee in the direction of Xiangyang surrounded by Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, followed by thousands of panicked Jingzhou troops.

Huang Zu finally gathered more than 4,000 Jiangxia soldiers, and the fierce battles with Sun Jian and Yuan Shu over the years made Huang Zu also train an elite soldier, of course, this elite soldier is relative to the Jingzhou army under Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and compared to the Wei army, it is still much inferior.

However, Huang Zu still formed a solid formation of more than 4,000 Jiangxia soldiers in a short period of time, blocking the way of Wei Yan's army!

Wei Yan took a look and saw that the enemy's sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and crossbowmen were lined up in layers, and in the face of the Wei cavalry's rushing momentum, he was not very panicked.

Just looking at it like this, Wei Yan knew that this was definitely not the army under Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but Huang Zu's Jiangxia soldiers who had gone through actual battles, and only veterans who had fought many times could face the cavalry so calmly.

But this Jiangxia soldier has only achieved the minimum quality of an elite soldier, and there is still a long way to go from a real elite soldier.

Wei Yan glanced at it again, and immediately saw the weakness of Huang Zu's Jiangxia soldiers' formation, so he ordered: "The four thousand cavalry of the front army, divided into two, detour the two wings, and attack its two wings!" ”

With Wei Yan's order, the four thousand cavalry of the front army, divided into two sides, suddenly changed the direction of the charge when they were more than two hundred steps away from the enemy's formation, and did not rush straight to the other side, but circled around and attacked the enemy's wings.

Wei Yan's cavalry is not the kind of heavy cavalry that can only rush forward, but light cavalry with mobility and flexibility as more important considerations, using light cavalry, the main tactic is not to rush into battle, but to seize the enemy's weakness, use strong mobility, and attack the enemy's weakness at any time!

The camp formed by Huang Zu's Jiangxia soldiers looks flawless from the front, and there are many forests, but look at the two wings of this camp, without the protection of cavalry, it is very fragile!

Huang Zu in the Jiangxia formation couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Wei Yan's four thousand elite cavalry attacking the flank, and hurriedly ordered the military formation to change direction!

When the Jiangxia soldiers heard the order of the main general, they hurriedly turned around, and the military formation composed of more than 4,000 people wanted to change direction flexibly in a hurry, which was very difficult, and it was easy to have the problem of confusion.

And, once they turned, the original square turned from their fragile flanks.

When the Jiangxia soldiers' military formation had just turned around, and the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen had not yet been fully in place, the elite cavalry of the Wei army had already rushed to within a hundred paces.

Although Wei Yan's cavalry was mostly Xiongnu horses and short, that shortness was relative to the horses of the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu horses were later Mongolian horses, a group of cavalry riding Mongolian horses, rushing to the infantry camp, and the infantry still felt a great deterrent.

These Huns are mostly black, charging over, like a black wave, sweeping in.

The cavalry in the back stretched out their bows and arrows and threw them, while the cavalry in front took out their war spears and followed the direction of the war horse sprint flatly, hundreds of spearheads, and rushed towards the flank of the Jiangxia infantry camp that had no time to move.

The already chaotic camp was hit by the cavalry behind it, and it was even more chaotic, and then encountered a fierce impact, the weak sword and shield soldiers could not block the impact of the cavalry spears at all, and the whole person was pierced with a shield, and the pikemen did not form a tight array because they did not form a tight array, and they could not pose a threat to the cavalry's war horses at all, and when the cavalry attacked, the archers who were originally the most threatening became no threat at all.

At this time, Jiang Xiabing's original most threatening front also became a chaotic side and became another weakness.

Wei Yan personally led two thousand cavalry and rushed forward.

Some Jiangxia soldiers were beaten by the Wei army with the young master Huang Shot, but now when they saw Wei Yan personally going into battle, they were even more frightened, and they ran away.

Huang Zu in the formation even killed several people, but he couldn't stop the momentum of escape.

As the Wei army broke through on three sides, more and more Jiangxia soldiers fled, and this formation collapsed more and more!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the great array that I thought would be as solid as a rock could withstand it for a while collapsed in an instant!

Huang Zu is not Lu Bu, nor is he Zhang Liao, he has no ability to turn the tide, in the face of this situation of defeat, what he can do now is to turn the horse's head and flee in the direction of Liu Biao's escape!

As soon as Huang Zu fled like this, the Jiangxia soldiers who were still fighting with the Wei cavalry all collapsed, and they all dispersed in a hurry, and the main general who followed them was defeated and retreated south! 8)
