Zhang Yang was born in Bingzhou, and he was proficient in cavalry warfare, so he naturally had a soft spot for cavalry. Of the 3,000 soldiers and horses he brought out to rescue Taiyuan this time, 1,000 were cavalry. Now, seeing Guan Yu and his subordinates challenging and shouting outside the camp, showing off his might, Zhang Yang certainly couldn't tolerate it. He decisively ordered the cavalry commander Yang Chou:

"Lao Yang, take your troops, give you another 400 cavalry, and you go and drive away all those flies!"

Yang Chou used to be the general of Ding Yuan, and most of his subordinates were Ding Yuan's original subordinates, all of whom were elite knights in Bingzhou. As a hero of Bingzhou who was personally selected by Ding Yuan, Yang Chou's status under Ding Yuan's command was on par with Lu Bu. When he heard this order, although his heart was not high, he still answered loudly.

The trip to Luoyang a few months ago, although Ding Yuan lost his life, and Yang Chou, who was harmed, was like a lost dog, and escaped from Luoyang in a hurry, but it was not without gain. In the process of dealing with the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, Yang Chou, as an excellent cavalry commander, keenly discovered a kind of gadget that the Liangzhou cavalry was generally equipped with on war horses.

The kind of small thing called the "bilateral stirrup", although it looks very inconspicuous, can make the cavalry's hand-to-hand combat ability skyrocket by more than 50% in an instant. Although Yang Chou is not interested in the barbarians of Liangzhou, he is not a stubborn wooden braincase. As soon as he returned to Bingzhou from Luoyang, Yang Chou immediately comprehensively promoted bilateral stirrups in his trilogy. In this way, the knights of the state, who were already strong in combat, once again made a qualitative leap in their combat effectiveness.

The Han cavalry basically came from the three states of You, Bing and Liang. With such a dazzling past, coupled with the use of the sharp weapon of the bilateral stirrup, Yang Chou is convinced that his subordinates under his command will be able to compete with them no matter how strong the enemy they face, and they will not fall behind.

Not long after Guan Yu led his troops to the camp of Zhang Yangjun. The gates of the camp slowly opened. Yang Chou took the lead, and led his subordinates with five hundred elite horsemen to rush out, and quickly discharged the cone formation commonly used by cavalry at the gate of the camp. The speed of these elite cavalry formations made Guan Yu, who had been waiting for the battle, slightly taken aback.

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one. The more elite the fighters. The more experienced you are when you are arrayed. From this point of view, Guan Yu judged that the enemies in front of him were all elite knights of the first rank of the Han Dynasty.

However, what kind of arrogant character is Guan Yu?

Even against Lu Bu back then, Guan Yu dared to fight to the death. In the face of Yang Chou's undisguised challenge, Guan Yu gave an order, and the cavalry, who had originally dismounted to rest, immediately jumped on horseback and returned to their own system. At the moment when Yang Chou finished arranging the people in his headquarters. Guan Yu's main cavalry force has also been prepared.

Although Guan Yu only had a thousand subordinates, he was also divided into two parts. The main force of 600, mainly Han people with strong discipline, was arranged in a dense wall-like formation of Professor Zhang and launched a charge. Although these knights were not strong in individual combat, under strict discipline and control, they used the power of the battle array to easily defeat more than twice as many nomadic cavalry.

As for the other four hundred. Most of them are Hu people who are proficient in riding and archery. Although these Hu people are slightly loosely disciplined, they are not suitable for wall charges. However, when he was engaged in guerrilla, raiding, espionage, pursuit and other tasks, he had combat effectiveness far beyond that of the Han knights.

At this moment, Guan Yu lined up the main force of six hundred charging cavalry into a wall and waited for it; The 400 rangers were formed in groups of 50 and roamed around the perimeter of the formation. As long as the Shangdang army dares to break away from the cover of the camp and rush out to fight. Guan Yu will give a thunderous blow to these bold and reckless party soldiers, letting them know that on the battlefield, who can't be provoked!

Guan Yu was thinking about something. Yang Chou naturally didn't care at all. He was full of confidence at the moment. With an equal number of people, Yang Chou didn't think that the knights under his command would lose to those half-hung cavalry from the Yellow Turban remnants. It's just that, in addition to the five hundred elite troops who are like armies, Yang Chou also temporarily obtained the command of four hundred powerful private knights.

For these guys who have good riding skills, but don't follow orders very well, Yang Chou actually doesn't like it. However, on the battlefield, he will not dislike his own people. Although the movements of those powerful soldiers in the formation were very procrastinating, Yang Chou was still patient and let the four hundred private soldiers finish the formation on both sides.

There are many ways to fight between cavalry and cavalry. dogfights that go around in circles with each other and try to attack the enemy from behind; Facing each other, using knives, guns, spears and halberds to divide the hedge of life and death in an instant; those who are far away from each other and threaten to fight with bows and arrows; Wait a minute......

However, in a large-scale cavalry battle, there is only one way to fight that can really decide the victory or defeat of both sides. That's the frontal hedge with the highest casualty rate, the highest requirements for courage and horsemanship, and the most damage to weapons and armor!

The five hundred trilogies under Yang Chou are all good men who can take them out and launch face-to-face hand-to-hand combat. In the face of the Taixing cavalry with a comparable number of people, the powerful private soldiers of the first class and the two wings lined up in formation, and Yang Chou immediately issued an order to the knights on both wings, asking them to outflank them from the two wings and threaten the two wings of the enemy cavalry. And when the cavalry on both wings began to launch, Yang Chou immediately launched.

"Brothers, follow me! Hack down the remnants of the moths! ”

Yang Chou shouted wildly, raised the spear in his hand, and swung forward vigorously. Behind him five hundred and state elite knights, immediately

Make a noise that responds to the harmony.

"Kill the thief!"

"Break the enemy!"

"Rush!"

Five hundred cavalry began to move in order. The main general, Yang Chou, took the lead, walking in the forefront, at the forefront of the entire cone assault formation.

When Yang Chou took his position in the formation, a three-foot green qi suddenly rose from him, showing that Yang Chou was a powerful general at the peak level of "Thousand People Breaking". And at this moment, closely following behind Yang Chou are more than a dozen "Hundred Slash" level powerhouses who reveal various colors of "Zhan Qi" on their bodies. In terms of the average personal strength of these knights, they are indeed superior to Guan Yu's subordinates.

Ding Yuan dared to rely on it to fight against the elite of Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army, which was really extraordinary!

However, seeing that the cavalry of the Shangdang Army took the initiative to approach his side, ready to launch a powerful charge, Guan Yu's waxy face showed a faint smile. Even if the other party's elite level exceeds his own, Guan Yu is still full of confidence.

- I'm afraid you don't dare to fight!

The mount under Guan Yu's crotch is the BMW "Feidian" specially selected for him by Zhang Madness; The blade in his hand is the treasure knife "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" specially designed and created for him. Guan Yu is nine feet tall. "Feidian" is eight feet tall at the shoulder. As long as Guan Yu is on horseback, there is no need to mark the flag at all, just from the height of others and horses, the subordinate knights can clearly see where the main general is.

Flexibly controlling the horse with his feet, let the "flying lightning" turn around, and Guan Yu erected the Qinglong knife in his hand. Even the man and the horse are a head taller advantage. Let the nine-foot-three-inch long broadsword be like a peculiar flag. Those cavalrymen who had followed Guan Yu for a period of time, as soon as they saw the big sword raised, they knew that this meant that the main general Guan Yu had something to say.

"Brothers! I promised in front of the lord today that if Zhang Yang's whole army is dispatched, our department will hold them back and prevent Zhang Yang from escaping smoothly. If Zhang Yang only uses one force to fight, then our department will swallow them! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened slightly, and they bloomed a little hot:

"I have always kept my word. Since Zhang Yang dared to fight. Naturally, I am disrespectful! Brothers, in order to fully protect the credit of Guan, today I would like to ask all brothers to move forward and fight bravely to kill the enemy! Guan Mou would like to thank you all here! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu held a knife in both hands on the horse and gave a deep salute to his subordinates:

"Please!"

Although Guan Yu has an arrogant temperament and is never willing to live under others, he is in the army. It has always been known for its love for soldiers. Most of his subordinates were taken care of by Guan Yu. At this moment, Guan Yu made such a gesture. The six hundred soldiers in front of Guan Yu were all high-spirited and promised loudly:

"Dare not to die!"

Receiving this neat answer, Guan Yu smiled and turned the horse's head. Seeing that the enemy cavalry had slowly approached within one hundred and fifty paces, Guan Yu did not wait any longer, and the long knife in his hand moved forward. Take the lead and start rushing forward. Behind him, six hundred knights automatically lined up in six rows, close together, like a moving wall. launched an unstoppable crushing of Yang Choujun!

If you look down from above, there is a huge awl on the ground, slamming headlong into a tight wall. In terms of area alone, the size of the awl is three or four times larger than that of the wall. Moreover, the speed at which the awl advances is significantly faster than the speed at which the wall moves. In contrast, Yang Chou's department is undoubtedly more imposing.

It's just that in the face of the elite cavalry that the enemy seemed to be overwhelming, Guan Yu's face did not have any trace of fear. On the contrary, as long as anyone can see Guan Yu's upright figure, they can feel a strong and unquestionable confidence from him.

When the two armies were only fifty paces apart, the cavalry under Yang Chou's subordinates had already deformed to a certain extent because of the full sprint. On the other hand, Guan Yu's department, due to the deliberate control of the speed of advancement, the entire formation is still basically intact.

The cavalry of the Taixing Army, which is lined up in six rows, are armed with long weapons such as guns and spears in the first three rows, and the halberdiers of Qing Yishui in the fourth row are the halberdiers of Qing Yishui, and the five and six rows use long knives and heavy swords. Due to the control of the speed of the horses, the cavalry soldiers of the Taixing Army can still easily arrange the weapons in their hands into the formation in the usual training.

If the enemy collides headlong, he must first face the threat of several spears, then two or three halberds, and finally block a few swords. At the moment of rushing at high speed, in the face of so many weapon attacks, even a fierce general at the level of "Thousand People Breaking" was in danger of falling on the spot. And for the average cavalry soldier, such a dense attack is simply a huge slaughterhouse!

This wall charge was used several times in battles with the northern barbarians. Through thousands of captures, the knights of the Taixing Army taught the northern barbarians a truth. That is, don't fight head-on with the Tai Xing army, that will be ugly to die!

However, Yang Chou's subordinates are not Xianbei barbarians. In the face of the wall charge of the Taixing army, although they were a little surprised, they were still full of confidence.

The two sides continue to get closer.

With such a remarkable figure, Guan Yu has undoubtedly become the preferred target of Yang Chou's attack. But on the other hand, even if Yang Chou doesn't go to Guan Yu, Guan Yu has already set his sights on Yang Chou.

Who let Yang Chou dare to take the lead, rush to the front, and wear exquisite Mingguang armor? (To be continued......)
