On the head of the city of Jiangling, Jiang Wan stood solemnly.

Behind him was the burning city of Gangneung, and across the river in front of him was Lu Meng, who was hoarse and exhausted.

The defenders in the west of the city would report every once in a while that the two armies near Lexiang County were fighting each other.

The defenders in the city put out the fire in an orderly manner, and outside the city, Wu Dizi died and attacked the city in an endless stream.

These were all reflected in Jiang Wan's eyes, but he didn't pay special attention to them.

The movements of the Cao army were not intended to hide from anyone at all, the big lama came, and then rushed north after the open preparation.

Jiang Wan's gaze stretched into the distance, and the green earth blended with the dim sky in the distance, merging into a disturbing gray, and Cao Jun disappeared there.

Jiang Wan had a guess in his heart that that that might be the place where the outcome of this battle would be decided.

However, the outcome in the distance is beyond his control, and after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Wan gradually regained his mind and focused on the war in front of him.

With the addition of thunderbolts and fire oil bombs, at least it seems that it has caused a lot of trouble to Jiangling City, and Lu Meng is becoming more and more excited, and the commander of the battle is already shouting hoarse without realizing it.

Jiang Wan saw these in his eyes, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "It's closer......"

Zhao Yun, who was in the north, couldn't hide his tiredness on his face.

After going down to Tongguan, according to the urgent order of Zhuge Junshi, Zhang Fei and Huo Jun went out of Tongguan with great fanfare to attract the attention of Cao Jun and forced part of Cao Jun who confronted Guan Yu to return to defend Hongnong.

Zhao Yun was ordered to lead the elite to ride through the Bashui River Valley, pass through Shangluo and cross the Wuguan, and enter Jingbei.

To be sure, this section of the road is not easy to walk, and the Bashui Valley is not as smooth as the Weishui Valley, with sharp bends and gravel shoals washed out of the mountains, and in some places even shallow water.

Fortunately, the mounts of the support army were nailed to the horse's shoes before departure, so that the good horses would not be broken here.

By passing the valley around the Tsudling Mountain is Shangluo, here because it is very close to Chang'an and Luoyang, since the beginning of the troubled times, it has been frequently disturbed by the rout, and the people who can smell the danger simply move their families south, and most of the people who stay here have been moved away to become the people of the Cao army.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's transit did not attract much attention, and there was a way to go from now on.

After passing through the equally dilapidated Shang County, the terrain began to rise again.

On the waist of the mountain, a pass stands impressively, the precipice is high and the valley is deep, narrow and difficult to walk, only five hundred elite soldiers are needed here, and tens of thousands of troops can be taught not to pass, and the end is dangerous.

But fortunately, now the building is empty, and no one stops it.

"This is the pre-Qin Sisai!" Xi Zhen, who was traveling with him, looked at this pass with great interest, inside and out.

Hearing Xi Zhen say this, Deputy General Zhang Yi also looked pale and sighed with Xi Zhen.

Wuguan was formerly known as Shaoxi Pass, and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, and Dasan Pass were collectively called the Four Stops of the First Qin, which Zhao Yun knew in the past.

But since the unification of the world, these Xiongguan have lost their glory to the west one by one, and the Wuguan in front of them is no different.

However, Zhao Yun thought a little more, and he still remembered the thousand-year-old history that he saw in the light curtain.

This Wuguan was built in the ravines and ravines, and most of the future generations will gradually abandon it, but the Dasanguan and Xiaoguan are both located on the front line of the battle with foreign races, and I wonder if there have been popular stories in future generations for thousands of years?

These thoughts appeared for a moment, and then Zhao Yun shouted loudly to order the soldiers to speed up their pace, it is too cold on this mountain, and it is expected that tonight will be spent overnight in the county in front of me.

But before leaving, Zhang Yi and Xi Zhen, who got together and sighed, did something that made Zhao Yun cry and laugh.

Or feeling the history of this martial pass, Zhang Yi ordered the special troops in the army to engrave a row of big characters with weapons in a flat place on the wall of this pass, and Xi Zhen also read it out loud:

"The Han general Zhao Yun passed through this and shot Jingzhou."

Zhao Yun wanted to hide his face and be ashamed to see people for a while, but his subordinates Zhang Yi and others knew the temper of this main general quite well, and even caused the soldiers to shout together:

"General, is this defeated?"

Zhao Yun was helpless, so he could only respond loudly:

"Victory!"

Then the soldiers cheered loudly together.

The sound of laughter, the sound of victory, fell from the mountainside to the valley, and remained at the end of this Qinling Mountain Range.

This unexpected reinforcement made Xu Shu overjoyed.

Before Zhao Yun came, Xu Shu and Guan Yu discussed for several days whether to send troops to support Jiangling.

Xu Shu's judgment was based on the fact that Jiangling in front of him could not be conquered for a long time, and Cao Jun could not say that he could find a gap to intervene.

After all, at this time, the Cao army, which was stationed in Yingchuan, had neither a shortage of soldiers nor generals, and it was completely convenient to send a cavalry to the past as a surprise soldier, after all, the Jingbei battlefield is also a confrontation now.

But for Guan Yu, it is overstretched, the troops have always been not sufficient, and the only few generals are also staring at Cao Jun on the front line.

Fortunately, the appearance of Zhao Yun at this time solved this problem, and Xu Shu's reason was also very reasonable.

Cao Jun went to Jiangling from Yingchuan, or went around Yiyang, through the mountains to Jiangxia, and then went to Jiangling, this trip was more than 1,000 miles.

Or go around the Lujiang River to Jiangxia, this trip is more than 1,500 miles.

Zhao Yunjing rode from Wancheng to Jiangling, and he could go straight south for a smooth road, but it was more than 700 miles.

It's just that to Zhao Yun's surprise, before he arrived at Jiangling, the scouts accompanying the army reported that they had met Cao's scouts at Changbanpo.

The situation of the enemy army was unknown, and Zhao Yun chose to garrison troops in the county eighty miles north of Changbanpo to rest.

Scouts followed, and scouts from both sides clashed fiercely in the Dangyang area, each trying to break through the other's defenses and spy on intelligence behind them.

"Zhang Liao is the commander, leading nearly 5,000 elite cavalry and garrisoning Maicheng." After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Yun repeated it to make sure that there were no mistakes or omissions, and then patted the scout on the shoulder and told him to rest.

"Zhao Yun is the commander-in-chief, stationed in the county, the number is unknown, and it is estimated that there are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses according to the horses?" Zhang Liao was interested, and also patted his shoulder to signal the scout to retreat.

Soon after pondering, the two managers gave the same order:

"Tomorrow at midnight, we will march to the county/Maicheng!"

Both of them can be called Liu Bei and Cao Cao's favorite generals respectively, so they are more aware of the situation on the entire battlefield today.

Cao Gong sent me to travel thousands of miles, aiming for a quick victory in Jingzhou!

Duke Xuande ordered me to go through the attack of Shangluo to ensure that Jiangling is safe!

Zhang Liao's instigation was the great victory in Hefei last year, which shocked the world.

Zhao Yun knows the enemy generals, and now he has a secret elite soldier under his command, who will be able to break the enemy!

After a night's rest, the two armies finally met at Nagasaka Slope.

Zhao Yun's heart stirred when he set foot here again, and after a few years, he fought here again with Cao Jun, but now Liu is in the north and Cao is in the south, so he can't help but sigh in his heart.

The coaches of the two sides have nothing to talk about, after all, Zhang Liao is not very familiar with Zhao Yun, although Zhao Yun is familiar with "Zhang Liao", but he is not a man of many words.

Therefore, as soon as they encountered, the two of them had already ordered loudly separately.

Then, the cavalry marched in unison!

For Zhang Liao, it was obvious that he was outnumbered, so the tactics used were also the simplest and most direct frontal impact.

The unpretentious and unfancy, unpretentious and unfancy tactics of cavalry rushing into battle with the superiority of troops, is also the most familiar tactic of Zhang Liao, who was born in Bingzhou.

Crushing the enemy from the front, and then chasing the enemy like a hungry wolf to eat away the enemy step by step, this also happens to be the most familiar tactic of Zhang Liao.

Zhao Yun ordered the cavalry to avoid head-on for the first time, and then tried to hedge at an angle.

This tactic inherited from the Youzhou Raid was displayed by Zhao Yun with all his might.

Youzhou cavalry is the best at raiding, but this sudden does not mean a brainless charge, but because when Youzhou cavalry attacks Hu, it is often more to fight less, and it is impossible for the cavalry to hedge with the Hu people, so even if one horse is exchanged for ten Hu, it is undoubtedly a loss-making deal for Gongsun Zhan.

Then there is only one final choice, to launch the cavalry advantage to make a knife, to make the Hu people into cakes, and to divide and surround the method of annihilation by an oblique raid, just like a sharp knife to divide the cake.

Zhang Liao wanted to laugh at first when he saw Zhao Yun also moving his army to charge, but then he found that the direction of the enemy's charge was not his own Chinese army, so he also reacted.

Is it to hold on and slowly withdraw to lure the enemy out of the open area? Or do you turn around and try to attack the flanks to force the hedge? Still is......

Immediately, Zhang Liao came to his senses, and now there is no room for the slightest hesitation on the battlefield.

The cavalry on the opposite side blew past the flank of Zhang Liao's cavalry like a violent wind, and the more than 100 cavalry that were not closely integrated with the main formation were swept away like falling leaves.

The unfavorable first battle made Zhang Liao sober up for a moment, and then noticed the difference: "Ma ......"

This cavalry is completely different from the ridiculous horse infantry cobbled together by Jiangdong under Hefei City, and it is still victorious compared to the Wuhuan cavalry under the White Wolf Mountain.

With a sturdy horse, a battle-spirited cavalry, and meticulous execution, this is a formidable enemy!

Zhang Liao felt that his whole body was a little boiling, it had been more than five years since the White Wolf Mountain, and it was only now that he had encountered a strong cavalry!

At the same time, I also felt a little trembling, back then in Changbanpo, Liu Bei was like a lost dog, and now he can defeat Cao Gong in Jingzhou, and there is such an elite!

Not only for the sake of Cao Gong, but also for the sake of his self-esteem as a son of Bingzhou, he will not be allowed to lose!

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled throughout the battlefield, but there was very little sound of fighting.

The two cavalry kept adjusting the direction of the attack, Zhang Liao sought a frontal attack to defeat, Zhao Yun had been staring at the enemy's flank, and the staggered two armies were only a touch of separation during the surprise attack.

Even for the sake of command convenience, the commanders of the two armies simply led the troops in front of them to lead the direction of the army.

It's just that the whole is more tiring for Zhang Liao, because there are more soldiers and horses, and he is on the defensive as a whole, he needs to concentrate on staring at the front of the enemy army, judging Zhao Yun's intentions and intercepting them in advance.

Soon, however, the elite seemed to be tired of such a game, and after a loud whistle, he watched as the cavalry made a whirlwind and crossed his flank.
