Chapter 46: A Ride is a Thousand

Gao Pei regretted it a lot, not because he saw that the ladder and the others were like goods.

is to regret that he shouldn't have listened to this Zhang Fei's single knife to the meeting in the first place, which led to this disaster.

But the White Water Pass has changed hands, and now it is no longer helpful.

"General Zhang, please take my lock." Gao Pei pleaded.

Looking at the chief general of Baishui Pass with a dead face, it was not difficult for Zhang Fei to guess the other party's thoughts, and he didn't want to be a subordinate.

"Then it's up to you." Zhang Fei admired this kind of good man even more:

"Fan Jiang, find a clean room and invite General Gao to come in, so that you can take care of it."

After the order was given, Zhang Fei instructed Huo Jun to be responsible for the defense of Baishui Pass as the temporary general of Baishui Pass.

"Me?" Huo Jun was surprised: "What about you, general?" ”

Standing on the city wall of Baishui Pass, Zhang Fei looked at the heroic dry clouds in the east:

"Zhang Lu may be coming, I want to entertain my eldest brother."

……

A bowl of gruel was soft on the fire, put it in a bowl, and served it in front of Pang Xi, the Taishou of Langzhong on the city wall.

Yang Huai led the White Water Army to come as promised, and then Pang Xi became angry.

Attack, it can't be attacked for a while, Pang Xi and Liu Zhang have been in conflict for a long time, and Langzhong itself also bears the responsibility of serving as the second line of defense in case Baishui Pass is lost.

Therefore, the city defense of Langzhong can be repaired, and the Baishui Army is only the defender of Baishui Pass, and it is used to garrisoning the pass, so it is a bit blind to attack the city.

But Yang Huai is also known as a famous general in Shuzhong, which is not at the same level as the previous support from Chengdu, which is also the reason why Pang Xi is in a hurry.

After Zhao Xiao knew Pang Xi's worries, he showed a mockery of people who didn't know it:

"Relying on the famous natural insurance, dare to call a famous general?"

"General Pang doesn't know the heroes of the world, for a long time."

Pang Xi showed an unconvinced look on his face, and at the same time, the scorching gruel burned the blisters in his mouth, making this expression extremely strange.

Zhao Xiao shook his head and didn't bother to explain, and stood side by side with Pang Xi to watch the situation outside the city.

Langzhong City is not easy to fight, it is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are mountains in the north.

Therefore, although the White Water Army came from the north, it chose to be stationed in the south of Langzhong, looking across the Western Han River.

There is a rare small plain here, more than 30 miles wide, and tens of thousands of Baishui troops are suitable for stationing here.

Standing at the head of Langzhong City and looking up, it was full of white water troops.

Seeing another team of soldiers carrying a cloud ladder approaching Langzhong City, Pang Xi also had no intention of eating.

hurriedly dropped a sentence: "When will Uncle Liu Huang come?" ”

Pang Xi put down his job and hurriedly went down to the city to command the city defense.

Zhao Xiao stood alone on the city wall and looked at the white water army in a daze:

Can Uncle Liu Huang really solve the siege of Langzhong? Zhao Xiao didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Zilong can really solve the siege of Langzhong?" Liu Bei was still a little worried.

Pang Tong was silently deducing on the side, and when he heard the lord's question, he replied:

"After the Baishui Army divided its troops, General Yide led the army forward, and Baishui Pass was not enough to worry about."

"Even if Baishui Pass can't be attacked for a while, when Zhang Lu sends troops, Baishui Pass will be attacked from both sides, and it will fall."

This part has been discussed many times, and Liu Bei himself is very clear about the follow-up plan:

"The White Water Army under Langzhong City will inevitably rescue when they hear that the Baishui Pass is in danger, as long as Zilong finds an opportunity to kill, the White Water Army will destroy itself."

After provoking the civil strife in Yizhou, Pang Tong quickly determined his goal: it was too risky to take Chengdu directly, and Liu Zhang, the sick tiger's minions, should be cut off first.

And the most important of them are the White Water Army and the White Water Pass.

Yang Huai of the White Water Army was not born in Haoqiang, and he was all favored by Liu Zhang; Baishui Pass is the most important pass between Hanzhong and Yizhou.

Therefore, Pang Tong's plan is to control Baishui Pass first, and form a situation in Yizhou to close the door and beat the dogs, so that whether it is Xu Xu Tuzhi or Thunder to take it, it is easy to do.

It's just that Chang Pang Tong never dreamed that Zhang Fei would easily take Baishui Pass, and the messenger was already on his way to Jiangzhou.

On the other side, although Zhao Yun does not have any tricks in battle and is stable in his use of troops, he has one of the biggest reliances: he is a cavalry general.

After the scouts found out the situation, Zhao Yun only felt:

When there are plains and they are behind enemy lines, it is a pity not to have a wave of charge!

Do it when you think of it, without too much hesitation, Zhao Yun ordered:

"Zhang Yi, lead the 4,000 army to move forward slowly."

"Zhang, order all the cavalry to change their straddles, carry bows and crossbows, and step into battle with me!"

Step into battle! Zhang Zhu's heart was also very excited, and he responded with arrogance, and hurried to gather General Zhao's cavalry.

After the New Year, when Zhao Yun attacked Yizhou, he did not lead the cavalry to accompany him, because there was no room to play at all.

Later, after taking root in Jiangzhou, considering that Chengdu would be captured sooner or later, and there were plains over there, Zhao Yun summoned the three hundred cavalry from Jingzhou in person.

Fortunately, it has already been used in the first battle!

Zhang Yi was a little worried about whether General Zhao was too risky, and Zhao Yun was relieved:

"Yizhou is isolated from the world, neither the battle array, nor the cavalry, Bo Gong is at ease with me to sweep the formation."

After the cavalry was assembled, Zhao Yun went first.

The cavalry of 300 men followed silently, carefully riding their horses and walking in the shallows of the Western Han River Valley, where the terrain was relatively much better.

Walking along the river valley for more than ten miles, Zhao Yun's front suddenly opened up, and a small plain appeared in front of him.

Zhao Yun raised his palm, and the three hundred horsemen stopped, silently sorting out their equipment, and began to slowly adjust the formation, from a line of formations trekking in the river valley to a glaive.

Zhao Yun's erected palm was flat and pointed forward, and then he took the lead and drove the horse under his crotch to run slowly.

By this time, the cavalry had already appeared out of nowhere, and they began to shout hoarsely, trying to alert the advance army that was trying to storm the city.

Zhao Yun ignored it, after the army exceeded 5,000 people, the separated front army and rear army actually became two parts.

It is not easy to collect and screen alarms, convey warnings, issue orders, and coordinate the adjustment of the front and rear armies.

Experienced generals and experienced grassroots officers can greatly shorten this tedious process.

But Zhao Yun didn't think that this army, which hid in Baishui Pass every day and defended the danger, could have such a strong quality.

If the Baishui Army is really a famous general and a strong army as the people of Yizhou say, why don't they attack Yangping Pass, restore Hanzhong, and kill Zhang Lu?

Is it because you don't want to?

Moreover, the biggest disadvantage of the Yizhou army is that they have no experience in dealing with cavalry, because Yizhou only produces horses, but no horses.

Therefore, Zhao Yun had no distractions, and led his cavalry to slowly accelerate.

However, it was not directly inserted into the Chinese army, but swept past the side of the Baishui military camp with a roar.

"Reinforcements!" Pang Xi, who was sweating profusely at the head of the city, was pleasantly surprised, but then his heart sank:

"Why is there only such a little bit?"

Zhao Xiao didn't speak, he was still young, so his eyesight was also excellent, and he could clearly see the dazzling light reflected by the sun on the armor of the first horseman.

Three or four hundred horsemen, rushing to ten thousand armies?

Then Zhao Xiao clearly saw that this cavalry moved as fast as the wind, like a sharp arrow shooting past his cheeks, and in the camp that swept by, a row of white water troops had fallen.

Zhao Yun's heart did not fluctuate at all, and this cavalry led by him sometimes accelerated and sometimes slowed down.

Brushing the edge of the camp, passing through the gap between the front and rear troops, decelerating and drawing a large arc and repeating the cycle.

The retinues on horseback had their feet firmly clasped in metal straddles, and relied only on their waists, abdomen and legs to steer their horses and intersperse with their generals.

The free hands ruthlessly harvested the lives of the White Water Army.

When he was far away, he drew his bow and shot arrows, and when he was close, he lowered his body and stretched out his long knife, bringing up a puddle of blood like cutting wheat

Zhao Xiao saw clearly that the Baishui rear army, which had no power to fight back, began to rout, and they had no way to face this cavalry of hundreds of people.

And this rout gradually began to roll back the front army, and Zhao Xiao could clearly guess the thoughts of the rebels:

There is the Western Han River between the former army and Langzhong City, and a pontoon bridge has been built in the narrow part.

Although I don't know how to deal with the cavalry, as long as I cross the pontoon bridge, it will be safe!

"Pang Taishou, Langzhong is safe!"

Zhao Xiao turned his head and saw Pang Xi, who was in a hurry before, had changed his confident expression at this time:

"The Northland cavalry is so fierce!"

Zhao Xiao pouted in his heart, only thinking that this Pang Xi could live from Zhao Wei's rebellion to the present, and there were really two things.

Then Zhao Xiao tiptoed to look at the situation on the battlefield, and then saw two changes:

More and more soldiers gradually appeared in the mountain pass from which the silver-armored horsemen had come out, and began to form an orderly formation in the flat area.

In addition, the former army of the White Water Army, which was reversed, unceremoniously killed the dizzy rebels, and the collapse was temporarily stopped.

Zhao Xiao felt that he could understand the situation, and the next step should be that the support army and the White Water Army would fight against it, and the defenders of Langzhong would wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, and it would not be a problem to win in the end! Zhao Xiao was determined.

Zhao Yun didn't think so, he watched the banner of the opposing Chinese army slowly move to the rout, and watched a person who looked like a general shouting loudly, cutting down the rout, trying to stabilize the formation.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Zhao Yun shouted: "Zhang, sweep the battle for me!" ”

"Please break the formation!" Zhang screamed, and then took the initiative to lead the cavalry forward, and the formation also changed from the glaive to a sharp arrow.

An indestructible bolt of thunder!

Zhao Xiao's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he watched the arrow slam into the banner of the Chinese army.

If it was like a sharp blade cutting grass before, then now it is like a sharp axe cutting the ground, and the fierce momentum is gradually disappearing.

The speed of the thunder gradually slowed down because of the squeezing soldiers in it, and Zhao Xiao was already heartbroken to see several knights being pierced by random spears, and all of them fell.

And at this moment, the middle of this sharp arrow was revealed, it was the silver-armored horseman!

He rode his horse and charged again, approaching Yang Huai, the main general of the White Water, and then shot like a spirit Jiao into the sea, heading straight for Yang Huai's door.

Yang Huai's soul was in a hurry, and he used all his strength to push the long knife in his hand upwards and avoid it dangerously.

But that's it! Yang Huai roared in his heart, but then he felt wrong, why did the horseman's spear fly over?

Zhao Yun had no distractions, a shot was just a false move, and while Yang Huai tried his best to block it, his left hand had already reached the hilt of the sword next to the saddle.

Drawing the sword with his backhand brought out a clear glow of snow and cold, Yang Huai's smile froze on his face, and the blood spurting out of his neck sprinkled a little red on Zhao Yun's body and immediately.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little pity:

If you ride a white horse today, it will look better.

The second watch is before nine o'clock
