Chapter 834: Bloody Battle of the Cavalry
Well, the chapter name was mistyped, and this chapter continues the previous chapter, Total War.
Jiang Wan of Xiangyang explained the government of the dynasty, and then set off for Jianye, mobilizing Lu Xun's army to the north on Chinese New Year's Eve to take over the defense, while the left general Huang Zhong and the former general Tai Shici led 50,000 elites of the Chu State and troops to Xuzhou.
In Nanyang, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun began to engage with the 110,000 cavalry of Cao's army, including 50,000 tigers and leopards.
Nanyang County, in fact, is already considered the Central Plains. It also has the characteristics of the Central Plains landform, with wide premises and few mountains and forests. It is very suitable for the vertical and horizontal of the Chinese New Year's Eve scale cavalry.
Some of Zhao Yun's cavalry on Chinese New Year's Eve had already been dispatched, divided into five teams according to a team of five thousand people. Because according to intelligence, the cavalry of the Cao army entered Nanyang with a team of 3,000 people, and even went down to Fancheng to forcibly capture Cangsheng and go north. According to Xu Shu's expectations, Cao Cao should not go deep into the Fancheng area.
Because there is also a rear general Zhang Fei in the Fancheng area, who led 20,000 troops to defend the town. But the situation is that Cao's army has penetrated deep into Fancheng. And Fancheng has a large population, and it is too late to close it.
The later general Zhang Fei is indeed fierce and is the general of Gaidai. But the military is just ordinary infantry. If you encounter the same number of elite cavalry, you have to drink hatred. Therefore, Zhang Fei is also currently suppressed in the city.
Nanyang, Fancheng and other dozens of cities, hundreds of thousands of people may be looted.
It can be that the situation is very serious, much more severe than imagined.
And Xu Shu also couldn't get out of Wancheng because of the military branch, otherwise there would definitely be only one way to defeat, so Zhao Yun could only turn the tide.
At this moment, a cavalry led by Zhao Yun himself was galloping about thirty miles southeast of Anzhong. According to reliable information, there is currently an elite cavalry of the Cao army, which is looting Cangsheng over there, burning Hengyu and so on.
However, the news went back and forth for a long time, and Zhao Yun didn't know if the elite army was still there. Only Chinese New Year's Eve can send spies to conduct carpet exploration.
Once discovered, it must be annihilated.
In the gallop, the sound of horses' hooves was cold, and it shook the mountain.
"General, there's your own spies on the left." A deputy general beside Zhao Yun said to Zhao Yun. In fact, the deputy general reminded that Zhao Yun had also seen that on their left side, there were five spies, one in front and four in the back, forming a herringbone shape.
In the gallop of the cavalry, it is not possible to stop all at once, and after stopping, the sharpness may be gone. Therefore, the general long-range attack is all in one go.
Therefore, the spies are not in the same situation as Zhao Yunming, and they form this shape, and then argue on the left. It is equivalent to telling Zhao Yun that an enemy army is on the left.
"Kill it." Zhao Yun roared on Chinese New Year's Eve, clamped his feet around the horse's belly, and rushed to the left. The whole cavalry group then turned a corner and rushed to the left at the same speed as before.
After galloping about ten miles on Chinese New Year's Eve, I found a village destroyed by fire. Chinese New Year's Eve batches Chinese New Year's Eve the common people were concentrated in the empty places of the village.
There were about thousands of elite cavalry on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they were watching.
The old and weak wept, and the strong men glared angrily at the cavalry. At present, it is the time of spring ploughing, and the land in Nanyang is still fertile. The tax policy of Chu was also lighter than that of Wei.
Regardless of whether these people moved south from Cao Cao before, they already have attachment to this land. And now Hengyu, the money has been burned.
It is equivalent to that everything they grew up in Nanyang was burned. How can these fierce cavalrymen not be resentful?
This cavalry is a crack cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry. There is no reason, just because of the ferocity that they leaked, they can determine their provenance.
At this moment, thousands of tigers and leopards are slowly gathering together. Zhao Yun's spies may be missed, but the shock caused by the attack of the cavalry on Chinese New Year's Eve is absolutely not to be ignored.
Especially for the tiger and leopard of the cavalry expert, even a slight shock is enough to arouse their vigilance. And at this time, from the purpose of the northwest mark, there was a vibration to tell them that there was definitely a cavalry on the scale of Chinese New Year's Eve coming. There were more than 10,000 horses. That is, the cavalry will definitely not be less than five thousand.
"General, no." The three thousand tigers and leopards quickly accumulated, and the first one was a standard northerner, with a burly physique. The appearance is very majestic, with a pair of tiger eyes bright and bright.
The Haw and Par Cavalry is an elite, and this formation is also inconsistent with ordinary armies. With three or five thousand as a team, the number of people can vary. Every three or five thousand set up a lieutenant general as the commander of the army.
This person is the commander of this infantry team, surnamed Zhao and named Dun.
"There are only Zhao Yun's cavalry. Are you still afraid that he won't succeed? Zhao Dun said confidently. Self-confidence, what he has is the capital of self-confidence, starting from the pawn, with the former tiger and leopard cavalry commander Cao Chun to fight in the world for more than ten years. Became one of the top generals in the Haw Par Cavalry.
He has the experience of commanding troops and the ability to adapt to the battlefield. The tiger and leopard cavalry is even more sharp in the world, in fact, it is not comparable to other cavalry such as Zhu Ling's original cavalry.
Although, during these days, there are also some legends in the army that some tiger and leopard riders suffered defeat and lost one of these men and horses. But Zhao Dun has never taken it seriously.
Because he has never fought with Zhao Yun, he can only see if Zhao Yun is as strong as the legend says.
"It's almost there, kill it." At this moment, Zhao Dun's complexion changed, and the tremor on the ground told him that Zhao Yun's cavalry was already very close, and it was time to hedge.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
With a roar, Zhao Dun rushed behind, driving the war horse towards Zhao Yunlai's target.
In the loud roar, a full 3,000 tigers and leopards rode and 6,000 war horses brazenly followed. The momentum brought out is enough to make ordinary people's faces change wildly.
Among the people who were gathered in the vicinity, a large number of the old and weak captives simply fell asleep because of fear.
"I hope this army will not suffer." An old man muttered.
He is a person who migrated from the north, has lived in Nanyang for two years, has taken root, and currently has a strong sense of belonging to the Chu State. And because of the damage of the tiger and leopard riders to their villages, they are even more interested in the Chu army.
"Difficult, this is a tiger and leopard ride. Although the cavalry of the Chu State is also good, it is probably inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry. I'm afraid that our group of people will only be robbed of the north."
Another old man said that he often listened to how powerful the tiger and leopard ride was, but he was not hopeful at this time.
There was even more hope for their fate, and there was a shortage of food in the north. In fact, it is not rich, and the tax burden is relatively heavy. They had no possessions and returned to the north. Let's not know if Cao Cao will distribute food and seeds to them. Even so, they missed the spring ploughing.
This year, next year will definitely be difficult. In comparison, the state of Chu is relatively wealthy. Perhaps, those Chu officials will give them seeds and tools, and at the same time, they can also make up for giving them a little food.
In despair, a little light suddenly rose in the old man's heart, the light of Xihuan. In his heart, he secretly called on Chinese New Year's Eve: "God bless Chinese New Year's Eve, let the tiger and leopard ride to hell." ”
Just when this old man was secretly praying for Chu Jun.
Zhao Yun's five thousand cavalry, as well as three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, had already met. The area is open, and the two sides see each other from a kilometer away.
The two Chinese New Year's Eve armies were more elite in tiger and leopard cavalry, but the Chu army had 5,000 horses.
The commander of the army on Chinese New Year's Eve will be even more Zhao Yun.
"Zhao? Could it be that Zhao Yun is in person? Zhao Dun saw the word "Zhao" embroidered on the opposite flag, and couldn't help but rejoice in Chinese New Year's Eve. Zhao Yun's head is very valuable in the north.
This guy actually led his troops to plunder hundreds of thousands of Cao Wei's horses, and lost 20,000 soldiers. When he went south, Cao Cao ordered that Zhao Yunfei would be alive or dead, and those who won it would be rewarded with thousands of households.
A human head can not only be a marquis, but also a marquis of a thousand households. Where in the whole world to find such a good thing? Therefore, Zhao Dun's heart was even more excited. Chinese New Year's Eve shouted: "Zhao Yun, it's Zhao Yun." Be sure to kill the lost him. The marquis of a thousand households is the reward of Lao Tzu's king, and all of them are given to ......"
There is a saying that the top eats meat, and the bottom drinks soup. This is the standard spoils distribution. With Zhao Dun's Chinese New Year's Eve roar, the soldiers and pawns of the tiger and leopard riders let out a Chinese New Year's Eve roar in unison.
"Take Zhao Yun's head."
Like a tiger and a leopard, the flames are full of flames.
"Hahahaha, those who want to take my head can't be counted, and they are not afraid of thousands of people." When Zhao Yun heard this, his face did not change, but let out a hearty laugh.
However, the smile only lasted on Zhao Yun's face for a moment, and then, Zhao Yun suddenly retracted the smile, and Chinese New Year's Eve roared: "On the order of General Chinese New Year's Eve, destroy this tiger and leopard ride." ”
"Destroy them." The cavalry behind Zhao Yun also roared.
The sound soars into the sky, not inferior at all.
Both sides are very fast, and the distance of thousands of kilometers is instantaneous. From above, it was like two flood peaks, violently colliding.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Don't die, the dog wins.
"Kill."
Before the meeting, the Chinese New Year's Eve troops on both sides let out a Chinese New Year's Eve roar in unison. Bieli took out the bow and arrow on his horse and shot at the other party.
The cavalry of the Chu army, which did not have stirrups, was not able to compete with the tiger and leopard cavalry at all. Part of it is because of this skill, and the cavalry with this skill means superb riding skills and is very stable.
And at this moment, the cavalry of the Chu army with stirrups can definitely use this skill.
"Sure enough, as legend goes, this cavalry has only been established for a few months, but it can shoot with a rush." When Zhao Dun saw the posture of Zhao Yun's cavalry, he couldn't help but be Chinese New Year's Eve shocked.
Although there is already news, most of the cavalry generals like Zhao Dun still don't believe it. It is precisely because of the understanding of cavalry that it is more and more difficult to believe. The scraping of a cavalry only takes a few months.
But now that I saw Zhao Yun's cavalry with my own eyes, and led Zhao Dun, the middle general of the tiger and leopard cavalry who was the most elite cavalry in the world, I realized that this was true.
Fierce.
Zhao Dun's pupils shrank, knowing that he had seen Zhao Yun
