Chapter 192: The Fierce Battle of Chang'an (Part II)

PS: Dear friends, it's finally on the shelves. Today, I said that the good ones are going to break out, this is the first watch, and there are four more after it, it's too thorough!

When Li Dao commanded the Xiliang coalition army to besiege Chang'an City, he had always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and the mysterious troops who suddenly attacked the garrison outside the north gate of Chang'an City, so he left 15,000 cavalry under his command in the area of Weiqiao, northwest of Chang'an City, to guard against a sneak attack from the north of the Wei River.

Zhao Yun led more than 8,700 cavalry to return to Chang'an again this time, and was ready for a head-to-head duel with the Xiliang cavalry, although he knew that after this battle, the casualties of his soldiers might be more than half, but this battle could not be avoided.

If the cavalry under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan cannot be frightened or even disabled, it will always be a disaster in the future, and it will always threaten the layout of the eldest prince in Chang'an. Therefore, this battle must not only be fought at the risk of life, but also must be guaranteed to achieve the final victory!

With nearly 9,000 Youzhou Han troops and Wuhuan mixed cavalry, against 15,000 battle-hardened Xiliang cavalry, it is undoubtedly a thing that sounds very crazy, it is estimated that even Lu Bu may not have such determination, but Zhao Yun is full of confidence.

Zhao Yun's confidence comes from the five hundred sets of black-armored iron cavalry equipment he brought to Chang'an from Youzhou, which is all the belongings that Liu He has mobilized the manpower and materials of the entire Dai County and Shanggu County since the beginning of the year, and it took seven months to build, and it is also the confidence of the Youzhou cavalry to dare to come to Chang'an this time.

These five hundred sets of knights' two-tier armor and the more protective horse armor were never revealed in front of people, and were always sealed in leather bags. As a very important military material, it was strictly guarded by the guards, and was first hidden in Tongguan. Then he was escorted to Changling by Xu Rong's infantry, and now he finally ushered in the opportunity to show his style.

Zhao Yun led his cavalry to wave the banner all the way to Weiqiao. The dust raised by the army covered the sky and the sun, and the momentum was very great.

The Xiliang cavalry, which was cruising near the Weiqiao, soon received a report from the scouts who came out and learned that Zhao Yun had led the army to appear again.

Li Dao immediately gave an order to Zhang Xiu, the vanguard of the cavalry, and ordered him to lead 5,000 light cavalry to Weiqiao to intercept Zhao Yun, while he himself led the remaining 10,000 cavalry to divide into two divisions, left and right, covering the two flanks of Zhang Xiu's department, ready to outflank Zhao Yun's troops or support Zhang Xiu at any time.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu led five thousand light horsemen to the east bank of Weiqiao, only to see him wearing a scarlet cloak. Holding a bright silver spear eight feet long, the spear was immediately in the army, with a majesty and murderous aura on his face, looking like a heavenly general.

Zhang Xiu thought silently in her heart: "Zhao Zilong, let me meet you for a while today, I hope you don't just have a false name!" ”

Soon after Zhang Xiu led his army to arrive, Zhao Yun led his troops to the west of Weiqiao.

Zhao Yun was wearing black armor painted with raw lacquer today, riding the black-maned wild horse that rarely appeared in front of people, and all the riding equipment such as Takahashi saddle and two-foot stirrups were fully equipped. Apparently ready to go on a killing spree.

Zhao Yun gently pinched the horse's belly, drove the horse to the center of the Weiqiao, and shouted at Zhang Xiujun in the distance: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, but someone dares to fight!" ”

Zhao Yun's voice was high-pitched and impassioned. It came from afar, so that the Xiliang army on the east side of the bridge could hear it clearly.

"The Zhao family's children are going to be rampant! Wuwei Zhang Xiu is also here! ”

Zhang Xiu shouted angrily and urged the horse to rush out of the army. Zhao Yun, who went straight to the center of the bridge, came over.

Zhao Yun saw a fierce general about thirty years old brandishing a spear and rushing towards him, so he twisted his sword eyebrows. The eyes are miniaturized, and the horse's belly is clamped hard. Without hesitation, he greeted Zhang Xiu.

In the blink of an eye, two figures, one red and one black, slammed together, and the tips of the guns with cold light dragged the afterimages and jingled in the air, and as soon as the two looked at each other, they fought fiercely on horseback for ten rounds.

Zhang Xiu has always been proud of his horse spearmanship in the Xiliang Army, and today he suddenly met Zhao Yun, and he didn't take advantage of it at all, every time he shot out, he was intercepted by Zhao Yun, and all kinds of moves he performed were like mud cows entering the sea, and it seemed to be whipped on a large ball of cotton, and he couldn't touch the corners of Zhao Yun's clothes at all.

After Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu fought for more than ten rounds, he probably figured out Zhang Xiu's foundation, although the other party gave him a feeling of pity for each other, but this was not the time for a love war, so Zhao Yun suddenly used a few spear skills that he had comprehended and created in the past year to launch the most fierce attack on Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu suddenly saw a hazy shadow of a gun rushing towards him, and he was horrified, and hurriedly waved the handle of the gun to protect his life.

Zhao Yun stabbed Zhang Xiu's right arm with a shot, then quickly collected the gun, and another shot stabbed Zhang Xiu's chest, Zhang Xiu, who was already in pain, hurriedly blocked it with a gun, and Zhao Yun stabbed Zhang Xiu's right leg with another shot.

Zhang Xiu, who was shot twice in a row, had no intention of fighting and was eager to withdraw from the formation, but Zhao Yun did not allow him to come as soon as he wanted at this time, and he could leave as soon as he wanted, and several sharp shots stabbed Zhang Xiu's throat and front heart, which was barely avoided by Zhang Xiu's left and right flashes.

Zhao Yun suddenly changed his move, raised the handle of the gun as if swinging a whip, and struck Zhang Xiu's neck with a sharp shot, knocking him off the horse.

Zhang Xiu fell off his horse, but Zhao Yun didn't care about him, but drove his horse towards the Xiliang cavalry east of the bridge!

In the face of thousands of cavalry troops, Zhao Yun actually single-handedly killed the enemy formation!

Zhang He, who was at the west end of the bridge, had been paying attention to the fight between Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, and when he saw Zhang Xiu being pulled off his horse by Zhao Yun's shot, he immediately ordered: "Black armor iron horse, follow me to attack!" ”

When Zhao Yun shot at the enemy like an arrow from the string, five hundred black-armored iron horsemen lined up in a neat formation like a torrent of steel, jumped onto the bridge in rows, and rushed to the east of the bridge following Zhao Yun's figure.

When Zhang Xiu's war horse saw the rows of armor-clad of the same kind rushing towards him not far away, he was so frightened that he hurriedly fled eastward, and no longer dared to stay on the bridge.

When Zhang He urged the horse to the place where Zhang Xiu fell from the horse, a leaner snatched Zhang Xiu, who did not know whether he was dead or alive, on the back of the horse, so as not to be trampled into meat by the follow-up iron horseman. Although the solo fight between Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu just now did not last long, Zhang He saw that Zhang Xiu's skills were not weak, if it weren't for the fact that he encountered Zhao Yun, the number one fierce man in Jizhou today, he might not have lost so ugly.

The Xiliang cavalry saw that Zhao Yun had first overturned his own vanguard general, and then rushed over like a desperate kill, so they hurriedly sent hundreds of horsemen to intercept Zhao Yun, and greeted Zhao Yun like a rain of arrows.

At this time, the big black horse had already revealed its fierce appearance, it was completely enraged by the arrows shot from the opposite side, and it became more and more manic, carrying Zhao Yun fiercely towards the enemy who dared to block the way. Zhao Yun on horseback was protected by the sturdy heavy armor and the scarf that covered his face, and because he was strongly assisted by Takahashi's saddle and stirrups, he was not afraid of the enemy's arrows shooting at him at this time, and brandished his spear and slaughtered into the enemy camp.

The elite Xiliang cavalry faced Zhao Yun who rushed over, and was surprised at first, then frightened, and then frightened.

Zhao Yun's marksmanship was too weird and fierce, almost all the people who stopped in front of his horse's head were stabbed in the throat and heart, and none of them could escape alive, and after just a few breaths, dozens of cavalrymen died under Zhao Yun's gun.

Zhao Yun's fierce and resolute single cavalry charge, just like the overlord of Western Chu who was surrounded by many at the beginning, no one could take it at all.

Not long after, the five hundred iron horsemen who rushed across the Weiqiao killed behind Zhao Yun with the sound of rumbling hooves......

Not far behind the five hundred cavalry, more Youzhou cavalry lined up in a neat formation, and they were methodically crossing the bridge and crossing the river, coming to the east of the bridge in a steady stream.

As a result, the five thousand Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command began to disperse, and they involuntarily retreated towards the two wings under the strong impact of the black-armored iron cavalry.

Li Wei, who was in the command position, saw that the forward troops were retreating and scattering, and hurriedly ordered the troops to reinforce from both flanks, wanting to drive back the Youzhou cavalry that had already crossed the bridge.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun and Zhang He immediately led more than 200 black-armored iron cavalry to form two black angry currents, and rushed towards the Xiliang cavalry reinforced by both wings.

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing at the east end of the Weiqiao Bridge rose to the sky, and a fierce cavalry battle finally broke out.

The single combat power of the five hundred black-armored iron cavalry naturally could not be compared with Zhao Yun, but after their number reached a certain level, there was no doubt about the lethality and deterrence of the enemy cavalry.

The Youzhou light cavalry, which followed the black-armored iron cavalry across the bridge, threw a rain of arrows on the enemy over and over again, while bearing the arrows fired by the enemy.

At every moment, no matter whether they were friends or enemies, soldiers with arrows and swords rolled off their horses, and they were either trampled to death by their own horses or trampled into pulp by the enemy's rushing troops.

Zhao Yun seemed to be tireless, and continued to charge at the forefront of the ranks, stabbing all the Xiliang cavalry blocking the way to death on horseback, and then continued to charge into the depths of the enemy army.

The fierce battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Xiliang cavalry reinforced from both flanks was also defeated by Zhao Yun and Zhang He.

Zhao Yun led the troops in hot pursuit until they reached the north gate of Chang'an City.

Li Dao, who had fled back to the camp outside the north gate, immediately ordered the infantry attacking the city wall to stop their attack and withdraw to the camp to form a line of defense to intercept.

Faced with this defensive line temporarily formed by Li Wei, Zhao Yun ordered his troops to stop the attack, and then waited for the infantry led by Xu Rong to arrive.

Not long after, the Shen Xi army led by Xu Rong and the forbidden army led by Huangfu Song arrived on time, and under the cover of the Youzhou cavalry, they set up a formation to confront Li Wei's troops.

The news of the attack on the camp outside the north gate soon spread to the east and west gates, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou were greatly surprised when they learned about it, and hurriedly ordered their troops to stop the siege, and they each sent 10,000 infantry from the east gate and the west gate to reinforce Li Dao.

In the face of the influx of enemy reinforcements, Zhao Yun and Zhang He were not afraid at all, and each led the remaining half of the cavalry to rush towards the enemy's reinforcements...... (To be continued......)
