Chapter 233 The white cavalry tested the military situation, and Ju Yiqin led the troops and horses to meet the battle
Ju Yi also knows why.
He had few friends in Yuan Shao's army, most of them were generals in the same army, and their relationship with each other was very ordinary.
In this regard, Ju Yi was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao in his heart.
Nowadays, Ju Yi knows that the plain is the only way between Qingzhou and Jizhou, which is very important and the largest town in the east of Jizhou!
Such an important city, whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they all want to control this city.
If I turn against Yuan Shao, what will be the result?
Ju Yi suddenly thought of this in his heart, but the rice bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"The matter...... Cannot!! ”
After thinking for a moment, Ju Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he was even more afraid in his heart: How could I have such thoughts?
Ju Yi secretly said in his heart: If he really turned against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would probably be defeated like a mountain, and gradually decay from then on.
And Xi Yu will lead the army through Qinghe County and go directly to Wei County, and then Ye City will be within Wei County!
Ju Yi knew that Yuan Shao's base camp was there!
If Xi Yu really led the soldiers and horses through Qinghe County, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao to escape to Youzhou, but if the Jizhou base camp was lost, even if Yuan Shao could escape to Youzhou, what was the use.
In this battle of Guandu, what are Yuan Shao's chances of winning?
Ju Yi's heart was difficult to calm down.
He is not a capricious villain, but he was originally from the guilty family of the dispatch of Xiliang, so from a very young age, Ju Yi has always felt inferior.
Until he defeated Gongsun Zhan, so he made a military exploit, but despite this, no generals and ministers came to congratulate, and the scene was really deserted.
There are not many friends, and the only friends are not around, Ju Yi only feels very lonely in his heart.
For a martial artist like him, Ju Yi felt that it was difficult to make achievements.
He is really not good at words, and he has very few friends around him.
At this moment, Ju Yi only felt a chill in his heart: after all these years, there was no one around him who could give him good advice.
"General!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Ju Yi's thoughts, and it was only then that he realized that he hadn't even had time to finish a bowl of rice.
"Just now, another soldier came to report, and when I was patrolling, I found a sentry horse in white light armor, all white armor, white robes, it is likely to be Xi Yu's white horseman!"
"White riding?! How many centaurs are there? ”
"Five people in total!"
Just five white horsemen, dare to trespass on the territory of our army?!
Hearing this news, Ju Yi was very excited.
Ju Yi expected that these five people must have come to inquire about the military situation: to inquire about the number of soldiers and horses in the city, the wealth of the common people and merchants.
Liu Bei had been a prime minister here before, and he had done a good job in this place, but he fled from this place later.
Ju Yi immediately stood up, already having an idea in his heart.
Ju Yi is good at riding and shooting, at this moment he is wearing light armor cast from heavy iron, wearing a headband on his head, and a feather on the top, Ju Yi has slender limbs, and he has Qiang blood, this outfit really has a bit of Qiang appearance.
"Someone, immediately send soldiers with me to arrest the white horse!"
"Whoa!"
Ju Yi immediately walked out of the camp, and the guards brought war horses for him, Ju Yi stepped on his horse, and personally led three hundred soldiers, all of whom rode fast horses, held bows and arrows, and galloped quickly towards the direction of the white horse.
It didn't take long for Ju Yi to see several cavalrymen in white light armor running on the plain, these white horsemen were not far away from him, Ju Yi thought to himself, if he could catch one or two white horsemen and go back to imprison and torture them, maybe he could ask for some useful news.
There are many people in the Ju Yi army who are good at torture.
Ju Yi quickly whipped his horse, getting closer and closer to the white horse, he felt that these white horses today were a little sluggish, not as fast and terrifying as rumored, seeing this, Ju Yi felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It is rumored that the white cavalry is the most elite cavalry under the command of Xi Yu, so in this way, the white cavalry must be the most powerful, why is the march so slow at this moment.
Just when Ju Yi was puzzled, he saw a white-armored veteran not far away suddenly stretch his bow and arrows, and then twisted his waist to look back, just that one look, like a fierce beast staring at its prey.
"Bad ......"
Ju Yi suddenly chuckled in his heart, and his eyes were full of horror.
Suddenly, Ju Yi's face was gloomy, and he quickly leaned over and hugged the war horse, as if he was avoiding something.
"Whoosh!"
At the moment when Ju Yi leaned over and lowered his head, a sharp arrow flew right above his head, almost hitting the top of his head.
Although Ju Yi dodged the arrow, the general behind him did not have such reflexes and speed, and the rushing arrow "poof" shot right into the throat of the general.
"Poof!"
With a muffled thud, the general fell directly from his horse onto the grass, rolled several times, and died on the spot.
"Bai Qi is putting out the line, pass my order, immediately catch up!" Ju Yi immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, there was a neighing sound of the war horses on both sides, and the cavalry behind Ju Yi immediately mounted the main hall, and the soldiers divided into two roads, running forward to outflank the white horsemen, wanting to surround several white horsemen.
At this moment, the four white horsemen behind the white rider veteran suddenly all opened their bows and arrows, and for a while, four sharp arrows were fired together.
"Whoosh ......"
The sharp arrows made a piercing sound with the wind, and they rushed towards Ju Yi's cavalry, and the speed was so fast that Ju Yi's cavalry didn't have time to dodge, so they fell off their horses and were all killed on the spot.
These white horsemen's archery skills, accurate and fast, are even more proficient in horsemanship, at first sight, they are perennial horseback battles, wandering in the plain battlefield of the excellent cavalry.
Just when Ju Yi's four cavalry fell to the ground and died, the white horse that was still running slowly before suddenly galloped quickly, and it was soon convenient for Ju Yi's soldiers to drive a large distance!
"Oh no, I've been tricked!!"
Ju Yi suddenly shouted, "We've been tricked, hurry back to the city!" ”
"Come, hurry back to the army, and order the forward battalion to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle!"
"Whoa!"
The horses behind Ju Yi quickly retreated, and at the same time, they also opened their bows and arrows to attack the white horsemen, but the arm strength of these cavalry simply could not reach the range of the white horsemen.
The four white horsemen brought by Huang Zhong this time are the cavalry archers trained by him during the day, and they are the No. 1 to No. 4 among the white horsemen, and their combat exploits and abilities are the strongest among the white horsemen, each of whom has the talent of a general, and these four people also use very heavy bows, and the range can reach one hundred and twenty steps.
The reason why they have not been sent out to command their own troops is that Xi Yu once said that Huang Zhong could select personnel from other places, and the army composed of ordinary cavalry of the white cavalry must be guaranteed to be stable and not to be attrition due to any non-fatality.
After all, this is one of the two soldiers and horses that Xi Yu attaches the most importance to.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, let them come a little more!"
"Whoa!"
The white cavalry then slowed down, deliberately controlling the distance between him and the Juyi cavalry.
Ju Yi was shocked by Bai Qi's precise archery skills, and immediately grabbed the reins, and the war horse immediately let out a neighing sound in the air.
Huang Zhong immediately stretched out his bow and aimed at Ju Yi's war horse!
"Whoosh!"
A sharp arrow rushed out again, shooting straight into the front hooves of Ju Yi's war horse, and the war horse instantly fell to its knees, and Ju Yi fell to the ground.
Huang Zhong then quickly shot a second arrow, which went straight towards Ju Yi.
In an instant, the sound of breaking the sky sounded.
The arrow that flew out went directly to Ju Yi's head, and it was even more powerful, once it hit the head, Ju Yi would inevitably die.
Just as the sharp arrow was about to hit Ju Yi's head, a general next to him arrived at the horse, and immediately protected a big shield in front of Ju Yi, just to block the galloping arrow for Ju Yi.
"Bang dang!"
This general felt the big shield shake violently, and the arm holding the big shield was followed by a sense of numbness, and Ju Yi and this general were both shocked into a cold sweat.
"Hehe, it's a pity!"
That Ju Yi escaped, Huang Zhong sneered, and there was no trace of nervousness in his expression.
But Ju Yi, who escaped his life, looked very cold-blooded at this time.
"Withdraw immediately."
Ju Yi immediately ordered.
Ju Yi only felt that he had been tricked by the white-armored veteran, and at this moment, his face was sometimes blue and sometimes red, and the whole person was already extremely angry.
He didn't know how to calm his emotions down.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the cavalry who followed Ju Yi were also apprehensive one by one, and the five white horsemen shot and killed five of their soldiers in the time of half a pillar of incense, and what made Ju Yi's cavalry even more afraid was that no matter how much they pursued, they could not catch up with the five white horsemen.
Juyi's soldiers were terrified at the moment, and if they continued to chase the white horse, they would probably fall into the white horse's ambush plan.
Ju Yi understood this even more, so he immediately ordered to withdraw for the time being, and the cavalry behind him received this order, and immediately prepared to turn around and retreat.
But as soon as these cavalrymen turned around, Ju Yi glanced back, and was immediately frightened: At this moment, the white cavalry turned around!
"What does this white rider want to do?!" Although Ju Yi had some guesses, he didn't believe that Bai Qi would dare to do that.
"General! Look, White Ride...... They're chasing us?! Ju Yi suddenly exclaimed.
"White Rider...... Well, so it is! Command me, half of the cavalry immediately turn back and kill the enemy, and the rest of the cavalry will distance themselves and wait for my orders to act!! ”
Ju Yi soon had an idea in his heart: how could the dignified three hundred cavalry be teased by just five white horsemen, after all, Ju Yi now has an absolute advantage in numbers, so he can naturally attack five white horsemen in two ways.
However, to the surprise of Ju Yi and a group of cavalrymen, the cavalry just turned their heads slightly and was killed by the rushing arrows.
For a while, the two armies chased after each other for a while, and it wasn't until Huang Zhong shot all the arrows that Ju Yi suddenly understood, "Xi Yu's white cavalry is clearly hunting us." ”
"Yes, the white rider clearly wants to hunt us!"
At this moment, a cavalryman behind Ju Yi shouted angrily and panickedly.
At this time, the white cavalry armor had become a nightmare for the Juyi cavalry.
Being shot as a live target, it is impossible to escape, and there is no point in wanting to catch up but unable to outrun other people's war horses, so entangled in such a battle.
Ju Yi brought these 300 soldiers, but it seemed that they had become the prey of the white horsemen, and they could hunt nearly 300 of them with only five people.
Ju Yi's soldiers and horses are even more chaotic, and in such a small encounter today, the white cavalry of Xi Yu taught Ju Yi a lesson.
Ju Yi was very shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to entangle with these five white horsemen anymore, he glared fiercely at the cavalryman who was riding a bloody horse, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Ju Yi even had an illusion: facing these five white horsemen, it was as if he was facing five powerful generals.
These five gave him a feeling: the combat power is strong and difficult to defeat.
"That's it, withdraw first."
After that, Ju Yi looked at the plain, and in a short time, more than thirty cavalrymen had died under the arrows of the five white horsemen in Xi Yu.
Ju Yi was afraid for a while: if he forcibly led the cavalry to pursue the five white horsemen, he was afraid that he would be ambushed.
At this moment, it was like giving him a dismount.
In the end, the five white horsemen left, and Ju Yi and the more than 200 cavalrymen behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Ju Yi led the cavalry not to stop immediately, and did not even pack up the corpses of his own soldiers on the ground, so he quickly rode away and hurried to the barracks.
……
Xi Yu waited in the camp until nightfall, when Huang Zhong led Bai Cai back.
Huang Zhong jumped off the war horse and ordered someone to lead him back to the scout camp, and then he entered the Xiyu camp and laughed loudly, "Haha, it's really happy!" ”
Huang Zhong was full of smiles and was very happy.
"I haven't seen the old general return for a long time, and I thought you were ambushed."
Xi Yu put his hands in the sleeves of his light armor robe and said to Huang Zhong with a smile.
If Huang Zhong did not return, he would order someone to look for him.
Now that the soldiers and horses of Xi Yu are in the vicinity of Qinghe County, they have few ways to retreat, and if they lose a general before the war starts, it will have an adverse impact on the subsequent battles.
"Haha...... Adults are worried. ”
Huang Zhong remembered what happened just now, and said in a deep voice: "My lord doesn't know, when I led the men and horses to patrol the camp, I never wanted to be chased by the war horses in the camp in front of the plain city, and the old man was really itching, so he made a move. ”
"However, I am all following the previous art of war, and if the enemy retreats, I will advance, and if the enemy advances, I will retreat, so as to deal with it!"
"As a result, haha, the war horses of the cavalry of Plains City are not as good as our war horses, and their archery skills cannot be compared with ours, and in a few rounds, they were shot by us more than 30 people, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come forward to pursue us, which is really happy!"
Huang Zhong said proudly.
"Hehe, old general, I wonder if you can find any news when you go this time?" Xi Yu said lightly.
Seeing Huang Zhong's safe return, Xi Yu was more concerned about the investigation, and as for what Mr. Huang said, he didn't care much about the pursuit.
Hearing this, Huang Zhong's face changed slightly, and then he suddenly scratched his head and said with a smile, "This ...... Hehe, I don't have anything for now. ”
"My lord, this time we were mainly pursued by the Yuan army, which caused us to be unable to patrol the camp, and this investigation was a failure, but I remembered that the cavalry that pursued us had the word 'bow' written on the military flag."
"Juyi." Xi Yu immediately said.
"Well, yes, that's it."
Huang Zhong immediately smiled and complimented Xi Yu, "My lord is really powerful, I just said a surname, you will know who the other party is, and my subordinates really admire it." ”
"Prepare now, run to the camp at night, burn all the food and grass as usual, force it back into the city, so that it will not dare to camp outside the city again, and then act according to the opportunity."
After saying that, Xi Yu immediately turned around and came to another part of the camp, and after a while, Xi Yu returned to the camp of the Chinese army again and called the military generals of Wenchen to discuss the matter.
Before this, Xi Yu thought that Yan Liang or Wen Chou would be the guards, but now it seems that today's history has not changed much, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still competing for the white horse, attacking Dongjun, intending to enter the territory of Yanzhou, and then detour to the encirclement and cut off the grain and grass.
But even so, once Ju Yi is defending the city, there is no worry, but it is better to go to war directly.
……
That night, Ju Yi, who returned to the camp, was very palpitating.
He has experienced many battles, big and small, but he has rarely seen a team with five generals.
But Ju Yi felt that it shouldn't be like this, there was only one general in an army, and the other party should just be an old and weak scout with a low status in the army, otherwise how could he lead a mere five people to attack the camp alone?
No, could it be that these five people came to spy on the military?
But his soldiers and horses had not set up camp in the outer places, so what could the five white horsemen see?
If you really want to inspect the march in depth, you can't do it this time, but if you don't do this, then how can these five white horsemen run in vain?
Ju Yi really can't understand that there are many strange things about today's events.
"Now I am guarding Pingyuan County, Pingyuan City and Gaokang, only these two places can be defended, and that Xiyu is backed by Jishui, and there is no supply of food and grass, I just have to defend and not go out to attack, I can block Xiyu's attack."
Ju Yi quickly figured out what to do.
Resolutely defend and do not fight outside the city.
Now Xi Yu's cavalry is very powerful, if he faces it head-on, he will definitely be slaughtered by Xi Yu's cavalry.
Ju Yi even speculated that Xi Yu must be looking for a quick way to solve the battle, so as to occupy a city and place his soldiers and horses first, and then seek the needs of further battles.
Ju Yi knew that the people of Pingyuan City had long been accustomed to the life of benevolent policies, and if he let the soldiers and horses do not commit any offence against the people, he would be able to get the support of the people with food and grass, and even help them resist the attack of Xi Yu.
But if you enter the city and defend it, it also means that the people in the city will have to make a lot of sacrifices, either to move internally or to be like fish waiting to be slaughtered.
No matter what choice you make, this is a very headache, but time has not given Ju Yi too many choices.
Suddenly, there was a roar and a stampede from Juyi's camp, and countless people rushed from outside, and the dull and noisy sound of horses' hooves soon resounded throughout the camp.
The people in the camp were suddenly panicked, and Ju Yi wanted to lead his troops to resist, but when he heard such a loud sound of horses' hooves and the sound of fighting around him, Ju Yi already realized that it was too late.
At this time, the guards outside the camp tent opened the camp tent and rushed in, and for a while a deafening shout of killing came, Ju Yi immediately rushed out of the camp in a panic, but at this time, there was already chaos outside the camp tent.
