Seeing that the flag was also the Yuan banner, and the commander's banner was Wei, Cao Xiu suddenly lost his voice and said: "This is not the Jizhou army, it is the army of Yuan Xi in Youzhou!" ”

"Youzhou Army?"

"Yes, last time Cheng Zhongde said that Yuan Xianyi received a piece of literature and a martial arts in Runan, and the military general was surnamed Wei."

"Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang!"

Cao Cao's intelligence will naturally not lag behind, since he knows about this, he will definitely investigate, Wei Yan's identity is not a secret, but he is not famous.

But with the ambush of Lejin in the Battle of Liyang, and after the Battle of Hedong as a deputy general, Wei Yan was already regarded as the general of Youzhou, but the main general Hua Mulan was not famous.

The main reason is that Mulan has always worn a bronze mask, and because of her special status, she has not had much contact with the soldiers below, and the only soldiers who have really come into contact with her are the five hundred guards at the beginning.

Gan Ning is even less known, after coming to Youzhou, the battles fought are all within Youzhou, Yuan Xi forbade the propaganda of the internal peace war in Youzhou, how can outsiders know that Gan Ning arrived in Youzhou.

Now Cao Hong and Cao Xiu knew that just as they were resisting the attack of Wei Yan's army, Gan Ning launched an attack from the rear, and immediately rushed into the Cao army camp on horseback.

"Bajun Ganning is here, those who descend will not die!"

Cao Hong, as the vanguard of the pursuit, was also mostly cavalry, and the number was not large, only more than 3,000 people.

Most of the people are in front now, and they all dismount to guard the camp, it is almost evening, of course Cao Hong does not go out of the camp to fight Wei Yan to the death.

Besides, there are camps to defend, why do you have to hedge between the two armies, and when Zhang Liao's army arrives, won't it be fragrant to counterattack again.

But at this point there was a time difference, he was caught by Gan Ning, and when he rushed into the camp, Cao Jun was too late to find a war horse.

A big defeat occurred without warning, and it didn't take long for Gan Ning to meet Zhang Liao after chasing Cao Hong's remnants, and the surprised Zhang Liao immediately stabilized the army, but Gan Ning withdrew.

"Zilian, what's going on?"

Cao Hong's helmet was crooked, one hand was hanging, and he bared his teeth and said: "Yuan Xianyi's bastard sent troops, Lao Tzu was careless, he wanted to kill the opponent's general to save the defeat, but that Gan Ning was so powerful!" ”

"Gan Ning?"

Zhang Liao had obviously never heard of this name, but he knew that Cao Hong's force value was not low, and it was not easy to hurt Cao Hong, even if Cao Hong was careless.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the two sides set up positions, and Zhang Liao finally met Gan Ning, and also saw Wei Yan.

Gan Ning laughed and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, my lord said that you are the number one general under Cao Sikong's account, but I look down on you, not because you are not powerful, but because Gao Shun can die, why can't you!" ”

Zhang Liao's face darkened suddenly, no one had ever talked about him about this, but how did he know how poisonous Gan Ning's mouth was, and he knew that the other party and Lu Bu were not in a relationship with him, but he just wanted to talk about it.

And he can't help but accept this, otherwise the morale of his subordinates will fluctuate.

He had no choice but to suppress his anger and said: "Zhang is a subordinate of the late Ding and the state, and he has no master-slave relationship with Lu Fengxian, how can he say that he is martyred!" ”

"Haha, so Gan looks down on you even more, what a hero Ding Jianyang is, he shed his blood for the Han family, you don't avenge the old master, but follow Lu Bu to help you abuse, it's really a shame for a man!"

"You!"

Cao Hong saw that Zhang Liaoqi's eyes turned black, and hurriedly shouted: "Gan Xingba, don't talk about it, it's a man who is seeing you on the battlefield with real knives and guns!" ”

Gan Ning laughed even more rampantly: "Cao Zilian, you are a man, and you only have one lord in your life, but you are injured, not an opponent, so let's go home and rest." ”

Cao Xiu looked at it and shouted: "Gan Xingba, I will meet you sometime, can you dare to fight?" ”

"Haha! Whoever doesn't dare is a grandson! ”

Gan Ning is in the middle of it, and his remembers Yuan Xi told him that his own force is now, except for a few people such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, anyone can not be afraid.

This is what Yuan Xi said after putting a stirrup on his war horse, not only Yuan Xi understands about the stirrup, but Mulan also knows the benefits of this thing, but Youzhou has not promoted it.

It is only configured on the horses of a few generals, and it is emphasized that it cannot be discovered, for fear of being learned by Wuhuan and Xianbei, then it will be a big problem.

In fact, there were stirrups in the late Han Dynasty, but they were only unilateral, which was convenient for getting on and off the horse, and with the progress of the times, it would one day be found to be popular.

But Yuan Xi had the idea of being able to delay for a while, and before he became strong, this thing was actually very dangerous.

In terms of horsemanship, the vast majority of Han people are inferior to nomads, even if they have ridden horses since childhood, they are still inferior, which is related to the way of life.

The Han people rode horses only as a means of transportation and warfare, but the nomads rode horses, which was a means of life.

If they learn it, the combat effectiveness of Xianbei and Wuhuan will more than double, and I am afraid that they will not be so honest at that time, and people's desires are bottomless.

"Wen Lie can't be ......"

By the time Zhang Liao reacted to stop the fighting generals, Cao Xiu had already rushed out on horseback, and now he would come back, and his morale would also be hit, so he had to quickly order Cao Hong to prepare for battle.

Zhang Liao's troops plus Cao Hong's defeated army had more than 8,000 people, and not counting the baggage army, it was completely possible to fight a fierce battle between the two armies in a dignified and upright manner.

Fighting generals are completely superfluous, there were fighting generals in ancient wars, but that is extremely rare, because it will affect morale, and the morale of the victory is like a rainbow, and the defeat of thousands of troops is frustrated, and it is completely worth the loss.

But today, who was squeezed by Gan Ning, he couldn't bear it anymore, and Cao Xiu was not a mediocre hand, he could be the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, how could the force value not be high.

To be reasonable, Gan Ning's riding skills are much worse than Cao Xiu's, but now they have been smoothed out by the stirrups, and in terms of their own force value, Cao Xiu is really inferior to Gan Ning.

The only one in Cao's army who can suppress Gan Ning is Xu Zhu, Dian Wei is already dead, otherwise he would have to be added.

As for the others, it would be difficult for Gan Ning to defeat them, but it was impossible to be defeated.

I saw him swing his arm, and the crescent halberd in his right hand slashed fiercely, smashing on the gun that Cao Xiu stabbed, and there was a "dang" sound, and Cao Xiu almost got rid of the spear.

"Could this guy be an evil brother?"

The two horses staggered forward, and Cao Xiu muttered to himself, understanding that he had to change his tactics and couldn't fight hard.

When the two of them reined in their horses and turned around to hedge again, Cao Xiu's marksmanship was real, just not to collide with you.

Gan Ning is cunning, and immediately understands the opponent's mind, this is not as strong as me, and I want to use skills to make up for it, so that I will not meet his wishes.

The two of them fought back and forth for more than 30 rounds, Cao Xiu was obviously slow, and immediately Gan Ning seized the opportunity and slashed hard, Cao Xiu had no choice but to take it hard.

With a scream, I saw the spear in Cao Xiu's hand fly out, and his body was crooked and fell off the horse, Zhang Liao hurriedly shouted: "Attack!" Capture General Cao at any cost. ”
