Huo Yi knew very well that the foundation of Jingzhou was undoubtedly much weaker than Cao's army, especially at this moment, the Jingzhou army was carrying the Cao army in the north head-on, and won a decisive victory on land, once Cao Cao came to his senses and launched a large army to the south, it was very likely that Guan Yu's Jingzhou army would suffer a big loss.

Five days later, the Jingnan army, which had prepared a heavy load of grain and grass, finally sent troops, before Li He's cavalry and Gan Ning's sailors had set off in advance, Huo Yi knew very well that once his men and horses arrived in Jingzhou, it was likely to cause a change in Cao's army, and I was afraid that Cao Cao would also mobilize heavy troops to Xiangfan, and at that time, the Xiangfan battlefield would undoubtedly become an important battlefield for the two armies to fight, and even the result of this battle would change the pattern of the world.

No matter who wins or loses, it will change the current state of the three forces.

If the Cao army wins, I am afraid that the Cao army will take advantage of the situation to go south, and the empty garrison of Nanjun and Wuling County will fall into the hands of the Cao army in an instant, then Jingnan, which Huo Yi has worked so hard to manage, will be completely isolated from Shuzhong and fall into passivity.

If Jingzhou wins, then be optimistic, Xiangfan falls into my hands, and our army enters Runan and Wanluo, and the result is that Cao's army is shaken in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of Cao Cao over the years.

It is this battle, which is related to the general direction of the situation, and may be deficient compared to the Battle of Chibi, but it is undoubtedly much more important than the Battle of Hanzhong some time ago.

Xiangfan battlefield.

Guan Yu fought extremely hard, and the invincibility of Cao's army in land warfare was indeed not blown, even if the Jingzhou soldiers with elite soldiers as the standard were fighting extremely passively in front of Cao Jun at this moment.

Guan Yu's headquarters army and horses confronted the tiger and leopard cavalry outside Fancheng, Cao Ren was extremely excited at the moment, and the defenders of Fancheng were also under the command of Cao Ren, maneuvering out of the city from time to time to attack the Jingzhou army.

There are more than 10,000 defenders in Xiangyang City, but the military horses outside the city are more than 30,000 elite soldiers in Guanzhong led by Zhang He. The number of people has an absolute advantage, and even in terms of combat experience, it is necessary to defeat the Jingzhou army at this moment, and the defender in the city is Zhao Lei, the former governor of the Jingzhou army.

The tiger and leopard cavalry is indeed a strong army in the world, although there are only 8,000 people, but Guan Yu's 40,000 military horses are extremely passive, in fact, it is also because Guan Yu's army has no cavalry, and the few cavalry are given to Huo Yi.

this day. Cao Zhang led the tiger and leopard to attack the Jingzhou army camp again, Guan Yu is a famous general, how can he attack his own shortcomings and his strengths? just stick to the camp and don't fight.

Cao Zhang is an acute child. Every time the soldiers came out of the camp to scold Guan Yu, Guan Yu was arrogant. It is often irritated by these harsh words. But only sulked in the camp and did not fight.

Although Cao Zhang held the initiative on the battlefield, he was angry because he could not fight. Except for the first battle, the tiger and leopard cavalry annihilated the Jingzhou army and attacked a small centaur of 3,000 people, and there was no result.

But these 3,000 people also made Guan Yu feel distressed, you know. The men and horses of the Jingzhou army were all trained by Guan Yu for many years before they became an army. The loss of 3,000 people at first glance is indeed distressing.

Li He's cavalry came very quickly, and Jiangxia was not far from Xiangfan. All of them were cavalry, and in only six or seven days, they had already arrived in Xiangfan. Li He followed Huo Yi in countless battles, and even after arriving in Dangyang, he learned about the situation of the Xiangfan battlefield, but he was not in a hurry to march, but organized the army and horses to rest and raise horses.

Early the next morning, they slowly headed north.

Coincidentally, when Li He's 7,000 cavalry arrived in the south of Fancheng, the tiger and leopard cavalry was led by Cao Zhang, and 3,000 men and horses were shouting and scolding in front of Guan Yu's camp.

The sergeants in Guan Yu's Jingzhou camp all looked at the place outside the village with resentment, and those tiger and leopard knights scolded loudly, and even some sergeants untied their armor, got off their horses, and sat on the ground shouting and scolding.

Guan Ping looked at these Cao soldiers who were not in the army, and asked Guan Yu several times to go out of the camp to destroy these tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers who had no one in their eyes.

Guan Yu was indifferent, but Guan Ping, who actually knew his father, had already seen the precursor of anger from the veteran's slightly frowning eyebrows.

There were also many scouts among Li He's cavalry, and at this moment, in a dense forest twenty miles away from Guan Yu's camp, Li He was listening to the information reported by the scouts. The scout was also very professional, drawing sketches on the ground, marking Guan Yu's camp and the location of the enemy army.

Li He listened to the scout's return, and secretly thought in his heart, this tiger and leopard rider is very bold, most of them are resting in the camp at this moment, and more than 3,000 people are actually scolding outside General Guan's camp, but they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and there is no cavalry in General Guan's military horses, so they can't pursue.

But at this moment, it was Li He's fighter, because no one knew, even Guan Yu didn't know, his own army had already arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, and his military horses were all cavalry.

Li He is undoubtedly a very bold general, if this is not the case, Huo Yi would not hand over the cavalry troops to this guy. The lieutenant general on his side looked at Li He, and Li He slowly drew some arrows from the sketch on the ground with a gun, aiming directly at the tigers and leopards riding out of the camp to fight.

The lieutenant general took a breath of cold air and said slowly: "General, the last general thinks that we can honestly enter General Guan's camp from the left behind, but the opposite side is the world's strong army tigers and leopards riding on, if it is ......"

Li He Rui swept away this partial general, and said coldly: "When the young general first established this army, he placed high hopes on our army and tried his best to make our army an invincible cavalry in the world. What do cavalrymen pay attention to? It's sweeping everything! Cowardice before fighting, you can't be a person in the Jingnan cavalry camp! ”

The deputy general was extremely ashamed when he heard this: "The last general can save it, and the general is willing to be the vanguard and raid this arrogant enemy!" ”

Li He smiled: "This is a good man!" However, you are a striker, what am I going to do. While staying away. You have two thousand horsemen, and you have outflanked their rear, and you cannot let them go easily. I led more than 5,000 frontal raids! ”

Li He pointed to the sketch drawn by the scout again, and said coldly: "There is a low mountain here, only two miles away from the enemy, our army maneuvered from here to the back of this mountain, and then killed from behind the mountain, you and I will divide the troops, we will inevitably be surprised, shoot with crossbow arrows at a long distance, and at close range, fight with long knives and ring head knives!" I just want to take a look, what is so great about the number one cavalry in the world! ”

The deputy general, including the generals on Li He's side, was shocked when they heard this, yes, they are all people, do we have to be worse than others? Chop fuck!

Li He seems to be a Sven man, but there is no doubt that he is extremely crazy in fighting, in Huo Yi's army, someone has already named his army in the name of a madman, called "Wind Army", but it is a homonym for the word "crazy".

At this moment, in this place ten miles northwest of Fancheng, no one would have thought that some people have taken the tiger and leopard ride that shocked the world as a meal, and the tiger and leopard rider has always regarded other military horses as a chicken, no matter what kind of people and horses, there is no one who will not collapse instantly in front of the tiger and leopard rider, let alone swallow the tiger and leopard rider.

After Li He's men and horses maneuvered from the dense forest to the low mountain, it was almost noon, and the dust raised by the gallop of seven thousand cavalry just sheltered this low mountain, and after arriving at the low mountain, Li He deliberately stopped the military horses, let the soldiers drink water, and the war horses nourished, because Li He knew that next, it must be a vicious battle, and the tiger and leopard riding are famous all over the world, and there must be a reason for it.

After a short time, the soldiers were all in good spirits and got on their horses one after another, waiting for Li He's order to attack.

The tiger and leopard knights outside Guan Yu's camp were already extremely tired, and the noon in late spring was also hot and tight, and even some soldiers were even weaker. Guan Yujun still didn't move, but he could vaguely see the Jingzhou soldiers behind the wooden wall of the barracks, looking at his Jingzhou soldiers vigilantly.

The Jingzhou army is a turtle with a shrunken head, and it will only shrink behind the wall, and it will not come out of the camp to fight with itself at all, even if it comes out, he will have time to fight with him. The tiger and leopard riding on the horse is undoubtedly a nightmare for all armies.

The tiger and leopard knights were still scolding, and a soldier who was already asleep with his armor on his pillow was woken up by the vibration of the armor, looked at his comrades around him, and said slowly: "The Jingzhou army is out?" ”

He was about to put on his armor and mount his horse, but he was shocked to see that a cavalry covering the sky and the sun on the low mountain behind him was sweeping towards him like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. (To be continued......)
