What about the flanks? Is horse racing a physical competition?

Zhang Liao didn't think that the other coach was stupid, but had a sense of crisis, and he faintly felt a little familiar with this formation.

Then Zhang Liao saw that this cavalry was in unison during the attack, which made Zhang Liao's heart burst out in an instant.

The horses were running and bumping, but these knights were not too affected and still drew their bows steadily, and then arrows rained down on Zhang Liaobu like a torrential rain.

Hu people's riding shooting! Zhang Liao was suddenly shocked, where did Liu Bei find these good riders?

It is not difficult to open a bow on horseback, but it is difficult to deal with the bumps of the horse while aiming at the target.

For the Hu people, it is not difficult to ride a horse since childhood, practice day after day with the crotch and move with the horse, and pull the bow without moving the upper body, but this is not the case for Han'er.

Therefore, in the Han-Hungarian War, the Han cavalry also quickly abandoned the idea of fighting with the Xiongnu, and chose to upgrade the equipment to directly export the Xiongnu's riding face, so that the cavalry could not be used.

And now Zhang Liao doesn't have time to think too much, as a general, he knows too well that any slight advantage on the battlefield may determine the final victory.

Do you want to get it back? Never!

How to fight? Divide the troops!

After enduring another round of cavalry shooting, Zhang Liao also made a quick decision, and ordered the deputy general to divide 1,500 troops and horses, and echo the momentum of the headquarters and approached the enemy.

In this way, if the enemy intends to eat more than 1,000 people, the Chinese army can come to their aid.

If you still have to ride and shoot, these more than 1,000 horsemen can reach and charge the enemy's flank.

Pretty! Zhao Yun secretly praised in his heart, and then did not hesitate to lead the troops to shoot while retreating.

The enemy is showing weakness! Zhang Liao's spirits were lifted for a moment, and he immediately led the army in pursuit without hesitation.

The cavalry lost four or five hundred people in the battle just now, which was already an unacceptable loss for Zhang Liao, and now it is still my strong enemy and weak enemy, and I should take advantage of the victory to pursue!

The two armies advanced and retreated and gradually moved away from the Nagasaka slope, and the terrain further north was no longer open, and a narrow plain was sandwiched between the mountains and the Hanshui, and two hills were sandwiched between this plain, dividing the narrow plain into a narrower east and west.

Zhang Liao followed the enemy army to enter from the west, the narrowest point here is only twenty li, and the widest point is only forty li, this width is enough to accommodate the cavalry march, and there is no need to worry about ambushes like the gorge, which can be said to be the most favorable terrain for Zhang Liao today.

But Zhang Liao faintly felt that something was inexplicably wrong, could the enemy army be such a stupid person? The only explanation is to withdraw the county defense, but what good is that?

But it is a pity to miss the opportunity, the back of the enemy can still be seen in the distance, and after hesitating for a while, Zhang Liao once again ordered the division of troops.

The two armies coordinated their march to take care of each other, and even if there was fraud, the losses could be minimized.

After advancing for more than 20 miles, what appeared in front of Zhang Liao was a phalanx of more than 1,000 infantry with long cards, as well as elite cavalry who turned around and lined up on the side.

Vice General Zhang Liao was overjoyed for a moment, isn't the infantry phalanx a credit to the cavalry?

Zhang Liao himself was completely sure that there was absolutely fraud, and was about to order the deputy general to return to the army to see how the situation was, when he saw the deputy army raid the past.

This general, who survived the battle of White Wolf Mountain, immediately felt a chill all over his body, it's over!

The battle was also true, as the cavalry advanced, the front end of the infantry of the long card was separated, and then a group of sturdy and unarmored soldiers lined up.

Zhang Liao, who thought that there were spearmen hidden in it, no longer hesitated, not wearing armor? Look for death!

But what is this long-handled knife in their hands?

One of the advantages of cavalry in the cold weapon era is that the oppression of height is very terrifying.

Most of the war horses are one meter six meters high at the shoulder, and the cavalry is always more than two meters tall when sitting upright, even strong men need to look up to the cavalry.

Xi Zhen, who was lined up in front of the battle, also felt suffocated for a while, but thinking back to General Zhao's promotion, Xuande Gong's favor and entrustment, and the practice day after day, this southern man dragged his long knife and stepped forward with his left foot and roared angrily.

The soldiers in the first row reacted in the same way as Xi Zhen, the most stringent soldiers under Liu Bei's command, and there have been no less than 100 simulations of this battle, all of which are today.

The strangely shaped long knife burst out with terrifying combat power by virtue of the strong physical fitness of the soldiers and the weight and blade of the weapon, and the cavalry who wanted to step into the battle was beheaded with men and horses, and the power was no longer there.

Then the second row stepped forward and charged up! Crack it! Everyone!

The terrifying field had a big impact on the cavalry in front, and this Cao soldier was not a veteran who followed Zhang Liao to participate in the battle of White Wolf Mountain.

For them, the miraculous victory under Hefei last year came too easily, so they had a lot of good expectations for the battlefield, but unfortunately these expectations fell to the ground and fell to pieces at this moment.

Zhao Yun's grasp of the timing was so brilliant that when Cao Bing was heartbroken by the front army, Zhao Yun had also led his troops to the flank.

Zhang Liao's familiar picture was staged again, like a hot knife dividing lard, and this deputy army was cut to pieces.

But Zhang Liao also saw some of the previous doubts more clearly:

"There are cross-...... on both sides"

If it was usual, Zhang Liao would only think that this cavalry was rich, and he gave intimate consideration to both the soldiers and soldiers.

But now he was planning to try it himself after withdrawing and see if that kind of riding and shooting had anything to do with it.

Zhao Yun's division of the Cao army had just begun, but Zhang Liao had already decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army.

If they were both infantrymen, then he would definitely do his best to rescue them at this moment, but they were both cavalry.

The cavalry is like a wolf, very different from the tactics of the foot soldiers, this cavalry seems to be alive, but it is just like an elk that has been bitten by a hungry wolf, and it is only a matter of time before it is wiped out.

Zhao Yun was slightly disappointed when he watched Zhang Liao's decisive withdrawal, whether the other party hesitated for a while or came to the rescue, Zhao Yun was sure to use the oblique cutting method to make Zhang Liao lose more.

But looking at this decisive posture, it is worthy of Zhang Babai, Zhao Yun shook his head and put down these thoughts, and immediately seriously commanded the headquarters and the Modao team to work together, dividing and encircling and trying to capture alive.

At the same time, Zhao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after losing this department, the relationship with Zhang Liao had been reversed, so that the authority of Jiangling was relieved, and he finally lived up to the trust of the lord, the military division, and General Guan.

At the same time, Shamoke outside Lexiang County covered the wound on his shoulder and closed Han Dang's eyes.

He and Zhang Wei had a double advantage in troops, but they fought with this old general for more than a day.

This Han Dang led the troops to fight on an equal footing with them, and they were not afraid of death.

In the end, he fought to the death to the last soldier, and finally Shamoko was forced to kill the veteran with his own hands.

After the battle was over, the remnants of Jiangdong were all wounded, and there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left in Shamoke and Zhang Wei, and the rest were all wounded.

Looking at the last of these unyielding wounded soldiers, Shamoko shook his head and said:

"You are all good men, I don't want to kill, let's go."

The group of wounded soldiers looked at Han Dang's corpse, then at Shamoke and Zhang Wei, and finally hesitated to drop their weapons one by one.

Shamoke was a little surprised: "Don't want to go back to Jiangdong? ”

Zhang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said loudly:

"You wait to recuperate in this happy township first, and then wait for the battle of Jiangling to finish, and then look and stay."

The leaders of the group of wounded soldiers glanced at each other and nodded silently.
