100,000 cavalry, placed in any place, must be taken seriously. Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao should be careful in the face of such opponents. It is precisely because of these cavalry that Kebi can greatly increase his self-confidence, and he is determined to take Zhang Chao, preferably alive, so he should have exchanged a lot of money and food from Bingzhou for his own stronger development.

The scouts he saw during the day were just spies that Kebi could send out to spy on the movements of Zhang's army.

The news of Zhang Chao's scouts soon came back, and the movements of Kebineng's army, as well as their numbers and men, were also known through statistics.

After hearing the 100,000 iron horses that Kebi could bring, Guo Jia was really shocked, he didn't expect that a Xianbei tribe would have developed so strongly. "Can you be sure that the other party has 100,000 iron horsemen?"

"Yes, the Kebi Neng Department continued to plunder property in the battle between Yuan Shao and Liu Yu, and the area north of the upper valley was their horse farm, and after development, it really had 100,000 cavalry." The scout general who was sent to investigate the situation in the army replied to Guo Jia with his fists.

"Okay, you've worked hard, let's go down and rest first." However, Zhang Chao did not show a frightened look, and said with a pleasant face that he retired from the scout general.

When only Xu Chu, Dian Wei and Lu Bu were left in the room, Guo Jia said to Zhang Chao, "Lord, Kebi Neng is menacing, I think it is nothing more than two purposes, one is to entangle us, so that we can't join Wenhe's Yanmen army, and the other is to besiege us here, but no matter what, it is still not to focus on defense, and then send someone to report to Jia Xu, let him return with the army to kill, so that the two parts of the combined attack in one, there is a possibility of a big victory." ”

Guo Jia's theory is naturally out of prudence. This time, Zhang Chao's army was less than 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. If it encounters a general problem, it is enough to deal with it, but if it is against 100,000 cavalry, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose.

Guo Jia thought of it, and Zhang Chao naturally thought of it. He also knew that Jia Xu was transferred back to the top at this time. But in this way, not to mention how many days it will take Jia Xu's army to arrive, just say that if they move, will Gongsun Zan in Liaodong make a move? If they attract them and let them occupy the counties of Liaoxi and other counties that they have just robbed, it will really outweigh the losses. If you don't get one well, you may be kicked out of Youzhou. If that's the case, everything that has been painstakingly managed and arranged before will be in vain, so you can only defend the state and passively wait for someone to attack.

In this case, this trip to Youzhou is the prelude to his defeat, which Zhang Chao absolutely cannot allow.

"No, you can't let Jia Xu retreat." After analyzing the situation, Zhang Chao shook his head and said. He had calculated that Kobi would come, but he never thought that he would bring 100,000 cavalry, which was completely unexpected by him.

"If you don't invite Wen and them back, our army will face 100,000 iron horsemen independently." After Guo Jia heard this, he was worried.

"100,000 is 100,000, I believe that with Wenhe's clever tricks and the martial arts of Zhongkang of Fengxian and Ziman, he will definitely be able to break it." Zhang Chao's gaze swept over the four people in the room one by one.

Lu Bu was looked at by Zhang Chao, and immediately straightened his chest.

Last time, he made a great contribution after chasing back 20,000 elite Hun iron cavalry in front of Tuoketuo City. After that, he returned to Jinyang City with Zhang Chao, and then married Minchan.

On the wedding night, Minchan, who was a righteous sister, repeatedly told Lu Bu to be worthy of his brother, otherwise there would be no fate between them. And before this expedition, Minchan even told Yu Lu Bu to let him make a great contribution, and she waited for him to come back with the little treasure in her belly.

Mink Chan was pregnant, and Lu Bu, who thought he was going to be a father, felt great pressure, and this time he also vowed to make military achievements to repay Zhang Chao's kindness.

Seeing Zhang Chao's gaze now, he naturally straightened his chest and said: "The lord is at ease, there is a cloth, no matter who he comes, he will be captured together." ”

"Hehe, good! Feng Xiao is really courageous, that is, I will give you a task tonight to go to rob the camp. Just now, the scout has said that in the northeast of us is the department of Kebineng's son-in-law Yu Zhuxuan, and I want you to go out and capture him tonight. Zhang Chao looked at Lu Bu and gave a military order.

"No." Lu Bu immediately responded with his fists. But Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this: "Take the initiative? ”

"Yes, it's to take the initiative. Presumably even Feng Xiao didn't expect it, and Ke Bineng couldn't think of it, which could achieve an unexpected goal. Looking at Guo Jiana's surprised look, Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction.

If it is said that the competition of intelligence, Zhang Chao will not be Guo Jia's opponent, but if he says some strange tricks, he still has some advantages. After all, I am used to hearing too many words about the art of war, and I also have many ready-made historical examples in my heart.

"Not bad." Guo Jia also reacted very quickly, and soon wanted to channel: "The lord's trick is strange enough, Jia is ashamed." In this way, Kebineng will fight without fighting. ”

"Hehe, Fengxiao doesn't have to be like this, you just don't dare to think about it because you're worried about my safety. In this way, Feng will attack the camp first tonight, and we will discuss the retaliation of the Kebineng army tomorrow. Zhang Chao smiled, grabbed Guo Jiazhi's arm, and came to stand in front of the placed sand table.

That night, the night was dark and the wind was high. It was January 195 and the weather was unusually cold at night.

The 20,000 cavalry of Kebineng's son-in-law, Yu Zhuqi, also entered their respective military tents to rest.

The red-hot brazier makes it very cold outside, but the tent is indeed warm as summer, and people need to take off the battle when they rest.

The cavalry of the Kebi Neng Division, they learned a lot of good things from the Han people. For example, one of them is the need to wear armor on the battlefield, which can effectively reduce casualties. In this way, the cavalry in the army also has armor.

Yu Zhuyu rested at night very early, he had already received an order from Shan Yuzhi, and it was also a military order from the old father-in-law, that is, to attack Zhang Chao's army tomorrow, they would trample the great general worshiped by the Han emperor under their feet, and they would become a brave army that could make the Han people fearful.

Because there was a big battle tomorrow, Yu Zhuyu arranged for the soldiers to rest early, leaving a vigil of 500 people. In fact, in his opinion, it was a bit of a waste to arrange these people, after all, it was Zhang Chao who was surrounded, and he would not have the courage to come out and rob the camp. Saying that the night is so cold, even if you come out, I'm afraid I can't hold the weapon.

Located in the northeast, it is a bitter cold place. It is the coldest time of the year, and such an environment and weather also restrict the army from wanting to fight, so it can only choose the warm time during the day, otherwise it is too cold, and even the hands will be frozen and do not obey the call, so what ability can be done to kill?

Yu Zhuqian knew that it was cold, so he neglected to take precautions. But he really didn't know that Lu Bu had already led 10,000 vanguard troops out of the camp under the cover of night.

10,000 vanguards, each with a kettle. This was poured by Zhang Chao in the afternoon by ordering people to light a fire.

At first, the soldiers didn't know what to do with so much hot water. Can't you take a bath? But it wasn't until the hot water was poured into the pot that it could play a role in warming hands, and then everyone knew the intention of the lord, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Chao even more.

With a hot water kettle, Lu Bu's 10,000 vanguard troops could warm their hands in the middle of the night, and once they were engaged, they could pick up weapons at any time to fight. With this, the night raid is equivalent to having the conditions.

Lu Bujun, who was carrying a kettle, came to five miles away from the camp where Yu Zhuqi was stationed, and the hot water in the kettle was getting colder. Lu Bu then ordered everyone to put away the kettle, hold their weapons tightly, and rush to kill with them.

After coming to Youzhou, the first battle was handed over to himself, which made Lu Bu very excited. The meritorious service was imminent, and he rushed towards the enemy camp as soon as he took the lead.

It was only a distance of five miles, and soon the cavalry arrived, and this came before the camp of Yu Zhuji.

The Xianbei cavalry, who had only arranged 500 defenders to defend the battalion, suddenly saw the enemy suddenly coming, and they were panicked one by one, and then wanted to fight, but they did find that their hands were already too cold to obey the call, and they were unable to resist the enemy, and they scattered and fled, shouting loudly to create chaos.

The shout woke up the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry who were falling asleep. As they came out one by one, they wore armor, but during this time, Lu Buji led 10,000 vanguard troops into the enemy camp.

Lu Bu, who had already adapted to this cold weather, waved his hands that were still warm and kept chopping, and one after another Xianbei soldiers were chopped to death as soon as they left the camp.

The tent was warm as spring, and the tent was bitterly cold, so it took them some time to get used to it as soon as they left the tent, and it was during this time that many of them became the ghosts of the vanguard army.

The soldiers are like this, and Yu Zhuji, who is the main general, is the same. After waiting for him to put on his armor and walk out of the camp under the service of his own soldiers, a cold wind came to his face, which immediately stimulated him to sneeze twice, and then the cavalry of the vanguard army came to him and waved his sword.

To be able to become Kebineng's son-in-law, there is no need to say much about his own martial arts, otherwise he will not be favored. Seeing the big sword falling, he swung his spear to block it, and under the huge force, he almost let the long knife in the hands of the cavalry of the vanguard army come out.

After the blow, Yu Zhuyu also hurriedly took half a step back, standing firm while adapting his body to the outside climate. And during this time, three more vanguard cavalry came with swords, and they were indeed stopped by him one by one, and even the last one was attacked by him and fell to the ground.

After killing a pioneer soldier, Yu Zhuyu mounted his war horse and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone, kill with me!" ”
