Chapter 362: Haunted

Zhang He has always been very concerned about Neihuang, because Wei Xuan once had a precedent of sending troops from the Yellow River to attack Neihuang. I have also heard of Zhang Liao, who was born in Yanmen. It had been reported that Zhang Liao had led his troops to capture Chenliu and blocked the roads leading from Jibei and Shanyang to Dongjun, and waited until Cao Cao returned from Xuzhou, securing Cao Cao's last base in Yanzhou. It is definitely not a good thing that Zhang Liao, who can make Lu Bu's forty or fifty thousand horses daunted, suddenly appear in Hebei.

What Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were most worried about happened, Zhang He was a faction of his own because he and Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others belonged to the locals of Jizhou and followed Han Fu first. Tian Feng's words Yuan Shao and Guo Tu didn't listen, but Zhang He remembered that it was impossible to drive out the Huns and win a decisive battle with the Xiliang army without enough cavalry.

Then Yan Liang's 3,000 infantry must not be able to stop Zhang Liao, so Zhang Liao ordered to hold the camp tightly, and at the same time sent scouts to Neihuang to inquire about intelligence, while Pegasus informed Chun Yuqiong in the north and Yuan Shao in Yecheng. Zhang He just hoped that Yan Liang would see that the situation was not good, and retreat to the inner Yellow City to defend the city.

When Zhang Liao led 12,000 heavy cavalry to appear in Zhang ???????????????? When he was in sight, he was also swept away by that spectacular scene. As the leading general, he is no stranger to the black oppressive army, but the movement of 20,000 infantry cannot be compared with the movement of more than 10,000 cavalry.

On the watchtower, Zhang He's expression was solemn, more than 10,000 cavalry horses' hooves rumbled, the whole earth trembled, and the rolled up dust floated in the air to cover the sky as if a storm was coming.

The deputy general Gao Ran gasped and said: "This Wei Zhongdao's cavalry is much more powerful than Gongsun Zhan's command, no wonder it can win every battle!" It is not surprising that Chun Yuqiong encountered such an army in the field and was cut down and killed. ”

Zhang He smiled bitterly: "The 5,000 people of Yan Liang's vanguard army were swallowed up by this heavy cavalry that day. I heard that all the soldiers under Wei Zhongdao's command have three meals a day, and in order to get used to the generals, there are clear meat standards in the night battle food. The cavalry also had all kinds of strange training equipment. And the most important thing is the equipment of those cavalry and war horses, more than 12,000 people is 12,000 sets of armor. That's more than all the armor in the entire second-tier Zhou army. The leather armor on those war horses is enough for each of my Jizhou army! And the weapon in his hand, you can see it's a spear, and a knife at his waist......"

Gao Ran nodded, then noticed some differences, pointed to the heavy cavalry that was gradually slowing down, and said: "Junyi, you see that these cavalry seem to use stirrups on both sides, well, you see that some people can still stand on the horses, is it possible that the stirrups are made of iron?" If you can stand up on the battlefield, then you can be flexible like an infantry, and it is too advantageous to be condescending. ”

Zhang He frowned when he was reminded, and sure enough, he found that in addition to the armor of these horses, the horses were in uniform saddles, and there seemed to be some short poles hanging on one side of the horses. Well, and what about that bilateral stirrup. Those short rods hanging from the saddle are spare weapons?

Soon Zhang Liao gave Zhang Liao a textbook cavalry queue drill. The whole charging heavy cavalry divided into three strands very smoothly as they gradually approached Zhang He's camp, like a torrent separated by three black mountain stones, blocking the east and west gates of Zhang He's camp respectively, while Zhang Liao stopped two hundred paces south of Zhang He's camp.

Zhang He's camp hooked up, but Zhang Liao also had a lot of people, there were 5,000 heavy cavalry in the south alone, they lined up outside the camp in a neat line, and then the flag behind Zhang Liao waved......

"Kill, kill, kill......"

"Kill, kill, kill......"

"Kill, kill, kill......"

Five thousand people shook the world, and the Jizhou army in the camp was frightened by this momentum and couldn't help but retreat.

Zhang He wondered, did Zhang Liao put on this posture to attack the camp with cavalry? Zhang Liao, who he knew, was the number one general under Wei Xuan, and there were two brave subordinates who could single out Lu Bu. Zhang Liao is definitely not such a brainless person, although his fence is not very reliable, but when the cavalry cuts the fence, the infantry in the camp can release a lot of arrows. Even if the cavalry rushed into the barracks, there were many tents and heavy baggage to block it, and the heavy cavalry could not rush at all. The number of soldiers on his side is indeed nearly 10,000 more than Zhang Liao's cavalry, so it is not a good choice for a famous general to give up his advantage to attack.

Sure enough, Zhang Liao did not give the order to ???????????????? violently Attacking Zhang He's camp, more than 12,000 cavalry trained on three sides, and then immediately re-integrated the torrent of Sangu into a unit, and then circled around Zhang He's camp and then marched towards the north, as if this was an open space, and Zhang He's 20,000 men and huge camp did not exist at all.

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief, although his infantry had a certain advantage in the camp, he really did not do a good job in the decisive battle with Zhang Liao. Looking at the nervous subordinates on the side of the barracks fence, Zhang He also knew that these Jizhou soldiers were shocked by the parade of Zhang Liao's heavy cavalry, and they all held the weapons in their hands in a daze, until the enemy was out of sight, and no one dared to pant loudly.

Gao Ran frowned and whispered: "So it's a mystery, this first general under Wei Zhongdao is nothing more than that, but Hanoi is in the west, what are they doing in the north?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and then his heart fluttered, yes, Zhang Liao came from Chenliu River with so many heavy cavalry, is it just to show off his might in front of his own camp?

Chun Yu Qiong! To the north is where Chun Yu-kyun is stationed! Zhang Liao stayed from Chen, did Huang Zhong also send troops? It must be so, this is the county to deter himself, and then join forces with Huang Zhong to flank Chun Yuqiong.

Yuan Shao dispatched 50,000 people to seize Hanoi, sent 3,000 people to Yan Liang to garrison Neihuang, Zhang He 20,000 people wanted to attack the southern line, and the remaining 5,000 people stayed in Yecheng as a response, and the remaining 22,000 people were all handed over to Chun Yuqiong. Although Chun Yuqiong's 22,000 men stationed in the camp were not worried about Huang Zhong's 15,000 men and Zhang Liao's flanking attack, if Chun Yuqiong didn't know that Zhang Liao was on the side, and just thought that Zhang He was in the south and Yecheng was behind, wouldn't it be a great chaos for the whole army to appear when he started a field battle with Huang Zhong?

Although Chun Yuqiong did not experience the last time Chun Yuqiong was killed several times like ploughing, Zhang He knew that many people in Chun Yuqiong's camp had experienced that scene, and when he saw such a large scale of heavy cavalry in a few years, Chun Yuqiong's whole battalion must be flustered and have no fighting spirit from top to bottom! It is impossible to say that Chun Yuqiong is going to be ploughed again. Once Chun Yuqiong was defeated, the original 50,000 people were not fully sure of going south to Hanoi, and now it is almost impossible for most of the Jizhou soldiers to attack Hanoi again.

Zhang He felt that he had guessed Wei Xuan's deployment, and he had to admire that Zhang Liao took advantage of the speed of the cavalry and did not worry about him catching up from behind. If he dared to move, or if the distance was too close, Zhang Liao would turn around and charge Zhang He's army on the march. Chun Yuqiong must be notified as soon as possible!

After a short period of stunned, Zhang He's first thought was to inform Chun Yuqiong as soon as possible, and he must try to avoid starting a field battle with Huang Zhong. Now it seems that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu's deployment is right, because Wei Xuan has the advantage of cavalry excitement, and after the Jizhou soldiers are divided, it is easy for Wei Xuan to use the cavalry to divide and surround them. And Guo Tu's suggestion just hit Wei Xuan's deployment! If it weren't for Guo Tu who had been targeting Wei Xuan since he followed Yuan Shao, Zhang He would even suspect that Guo Tu was an undercover agent sent by Wei Xuan.

At this time, Gao Ran finally returned to normal after a short period of shock and forced composure, glanced at Zhang He, and found that Zhang He was arranging a herald to inform Chun Yuqiong and Yuan Shao, so he was a little relieved: "Jun Yi, I heard that there are twenty or thirty thousand cavalry under Wei Zhongdao, since the first general Zhang Wenyuan appeared in Hebei, will the rest of the cavalry come?" Where did the back and forth come from? ”

???????????????? Zhang He, who had already recovered his mood, was stunned again when he heard this, yes, what about the rest of the cavalry? If you come to Hebei, will you go to besiege Chun Yuqiong?

"Send scouts to follow Zhang Liaobu to report the movement at any time, and the rest of the scouts will spread out thirty miles to guide in the three directions of northeast and west, and the whole army will immediately pull out the camp and go north!"

Zhang He had a trace of panic in his heart, and his voice trembled a little when he gave the order. It's not that he hasn't seen a big scene, but if Chun Yuqiong was suddenly attacked by twenty or thirty thousand cavalry when he was fighting with Huang Zhong, Chun Yuqiong's subordinates would probably not be left. As soon as Chun Yuqiong is defeated, even if he flees to Yecheng immediately, he is afraid that he will not be able to fall well.

Gao Ran also trembled when he heard this, obviously his own random speculation Zhang He also thought of it, and now he is not going north to attack Zhang Liao, but to avoid Chun Yuqiong being attacked.

Just before Zhang He could clean up, a scout from the east rushed over and knelt down in front of Zhang He and said breathlessly: "General Yu, General Yan Liang led his troops out of the inner Huang to attack the enemy's baggage, but was defeated by Zhang Liao and his troops, and the soldiers out of the city were almost wiped out. The internal yellow crisis, please send reinforcements to the general Su! ”

Zhang He scolded his mother in his heart, and said that this Yan Liang is a waste, and the guards in this Neihuang City are also a waste, fortunately, this guy came a little late, if he came a quarter or two early, he hurriedly led his troops to rescue Neihuang without knowing the situation, maybe Zhang Liao would have ploughed his 20,000 people.

Perhaps the cavalry that Gao Ran had guessed was ambushing on the way to Neihuang, and now that he saw that he had not left the camp, the cavalry should also go north. As for Nei Huang, the cavalry would not be stupid enough to hit the wall, and as long as Chun Yuqiong was eliminated, Yuan Shao might have to sue for peace again, which was far more intimidating than occupying an Nei Huang.

However, Zhang He still asked people to hurry up and clean up while patiently asking the scout, but this scout came from the Inner Yellow City, Yan Liang didn't see it, but the corpses of 2,000 people were not cleaned on the battlefield from the Yellow River.

Zhang He heard that Yan Liang did not return to the city and did not find the body on the battlefield, sighed, and said in his heart that this waste was captured again, it is really a famous general in Hebei, Yuan Shao's grain and grass are going to be counted again, I don't know how much Wei Xuanhui will shine this time.
