Chapter 757: The Iron Cavalry of Chu State Steps in the Central Plains (First Update)

"Can it be Zhao Yun's cavalry?"

The deputy general's words made Kaohsiung's face pale.

However, Kaohsiung still has words to comfort himself.

"I heard that Zhao Yun's cavalry originally had 10,000, but it was lost a lot when he was in the northern expedition to Xudu. Now these 30,000 cavalry are just newly recruited, only a few months. There are 20,000 cavalrymen from General Zhu Ling near Xudu, so he shouldn't have emerged." Kaohsiung comforted the deputy general.

But it would be better to comfort himself than to comfort the deputy general.

The deputy general doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to die.

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the despair.

As the vibration of the ground continued to intensify, a cavalry indeed appeared in front of them.

A big banner with the character "Chu" symbolizing the name of Chu, which is the equipment that every independent army needs to be equipped with. The second is the character "Zhao" flag.

No matter which flag it was, it made the soldiers of Cao's army in Kaohsiung and other places frightened.

Not to mention, the momentum brought by this cavalry composed of 30,000 soldiers, one man, two horses, and sixty thousand war horses.

The majestic aura that opens when it encounters a mountain and passes when it encounters a desert, comes from the sky.

"Let's go." After Kaohsiung's expression changed drastically, he immediately turned his horse's head and fled first. They were only one thousand soldiers, and it was completely impossible to fight against 30,000 cavalrymen.

Food and grass will definitely be lost, and if you stay, your life will be lost immediately.

Kaohsiung took the lead in escaping, and immediately made his deputy generals and dozens of close cavalry turn their horses and go to the north.

The other soldiers looked at each other, immediately put down their weapons, and lie next to the large food truck with the coachmen, not daring to move rashly.

"General, the thief general has escaped." Zhao Yun had a deputy general beside him, shouting.

"Select a hundred people and follow me to chase and kill the thief generals. Then burn the food, and the coachman and the Wei soldiers disperse." Zhao Yun also yelled and responded.

The galloping horse was very fast. Zhao Yun and others who were sitting on the back of the horse felt the sound of the wind roaring in their ears, and they spoke, and immediately poured in a lot of air.

Very not easy.

If there is a chance, Zhao Yun still hopes to transport this batch of food, soldiers, coachmen, carriages, etc. back to Chu State, but it is obviously impossible at present.

Therefore, I can only burn it.

"No." The deputy general replied, immediately replaced Zhao Yun's position and began to restrain his soldiers. Zhao Yun rode a thousand-mile horse under his crotch and led more than 100 cavalry to chase Kaohsiung north.

Kaohsiung led dozens of cavalry to flee to the north. Although he heard the large-scale cavalry sounds gradually fading away, a small group of cavalry chased them up.

The dead souls burst out. When he turned around, he saw the flag "Zhao" that was fluttering in the wind under the control of a flag bearer. A silver-armored general next to him.

Suddenly, his face looked like earth.

At this time, Zhao Yun did not have much reputation. However, the five generals in front, back, left and right of Kou Feng were famous all over the world. Among them, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang Fei, and Taishi Ci were all famous figures.

Of course, no one underestimates Zhao Yun, who is on par with them.

Now Zhao Yun is behind him, there are more than a hundred cavalry. It’s really a dead end.

"General." The deputy general also saw it and couldn't help but turn around and roar in despair at Kaohsiung.

"Kill." It has been a chasing for a while. Not only did Zhao Yun not mean to give up, but he was getting closer and closer. Kaohsiung rose up and shouted, slapped his horse backwards, and rushed towards Zhao Yun to kill him.

After hesitating for a while, the deputy generals and personal soldiers immediately turned around and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

"Haha, it's not a coward." Seeing this, Zhao Yun laughed long, clamped his horse's belly with his feet, stepped on the stirrup, leaned down on his body, and stretched out his spear.

to be honest.

Although the existence of this stirrup allows novices to get started faster, it has also helped Zhao Yun and other veterans, which has helped them to fight.

"Puchi." Only once, this little general named Kaohsiung, who was not well-known, was stabbed by Zhao Yun and died without even snorting.

"General." The deputy general's souls were thriving, but the escaped people were killed by the Zhao Yun cavalry who rushed forward.

"Cut off the head and go back to receive the reward, you will be counted as yours." Zhao Yun laughed. The head of this general was somewhat worthy, but it was of little use to Zhao Yun.

"Thank you, General." The personal soldiers were overjoyed and immediately rushed forward, cut off their heads. Then they returned to the place just now with Zhao Yun.

At this moment, the soldiers and the coachman who were escorting the food had fled in all directions. The weapons, even the leather armor pulled from Cao's army, were packed up by the soldiers and stopped by some war horses.

Ready to drag it away.

The truck carrying the grain was ignited.

Fire snakes and ash smoke.

Zhao Yun looked at the fire-riding grain trucks and knew that this was enough to shake the entire Central Plains. Cao Cao fought in the west and the Chu army invaded.

It was enough to shock the Cao Wei regime.

But this is not enough. Zhao Yun's purpose is to serve Zhu Ling's 20,000 cavalry.

"Let's go. Let's attack the city, burn grain, and burn the warehouse." After a moment, Zhao Yun held up his spear and shouted.

"No." Thirty thousand iron cavalry all agreed and galloped across the Central Plains under the leadership of Zhao Yun. The Cao army camps and some low cities were burned everywhere.

Because of the sparse population in the north, the wars were ordinary. In addition to some regular troops, there were also a large number of military soldiers. They were the foundation of the entire Cao Wei.

Now, Zhao Yun's cavalry invaded, burning down the camps and dispersing the military farms. It is definitely fatal.

The news soon spread throughout the Central Plains as if it was tied to a pigeon. The first thing that was to be hit was Xu Du, who was very close to Hulao Pass.

In the past, Xu was the political center of the north and prospered. However, with the establishment of Cao Wei, Yecheng became the capital of Cao Wei.

It is no longer a political center. Some Cao Cao's former generals and civil officials moved their families and their clan members into Yecheng. They further transferred Xudu's prosperity.

Today, Xudu is like an ordinary big city. Apart from the tall city walls, 50,000 elite soldiers, and some officials commanded by Xun Yu, there is basically no momentum of the Han capital.

However, when the news came that Kou Feng's cavalry burned Cao's army's food and large-scale invasions to destroy the military farming measures in the north, it still caused a huge shock in Xudu.

Immediately, Xun Yu summoned some of the powerful ministers in Xudu to discuss how to deal with it.

The advantage of the Central Plains is that there are many gentry, which is the center of the world and has high value. However, the disadvantage is that it is that it is attacked from all sides and that there is no danger inside and that it is necessary to defend it.

Once a large-scale cavalry invades, it will cause great damage.

In addition, Cao Cao is also in the Western Expedition. If the food in the rear is cut off and Cao's army is defeated, it will be a huge loss.

"What's going on? Didn't Zhao Yun's cavalry just form an army? We all have 20,000 cavalry from General Zhu Ling. How could he have the courage to send Zhao Yun's cavalry here? Are you afraid of being destroyed?"

"Yes, you must know that the war horses in the north can be produced continuously, but the south is fighting a little less. If these 30,000 cavalry are lost, it will be difficult for Kou Feng to train cavalry again. If there are no cavalry, how can he compete with our north? It is really puzzling."

"Don't spit on Kou Feng, he is currently trapped in Chu and cannot extricate himself. I heard that the Situ Jiang Wan of Chu who guards Xiangyang may be a fool."

The ministers who came to Xun Yu's official residence to discuss were discussed, and there was a strong disdain in their words.

The south is good at water, and the north is good at horses.

It would be useless for southerners to compete with northerners to compete with cavalry.

Soon, everyone entered the hall. At this moment, Xun Yu had already sat in the hall. He was dressed in regular clothes and had a serious expression. In addition to Xun Yu, there were some ministers and generals who arrived early.

And the most eye-catching Zhu Ling.

When Zhao Yun's cavalry entered the north, it was like their Cao Wei provoking the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Now, the only cavalry in Xudu is left with Zhu Ling.

The ministers were talking about it again just now. Naturally, they looked at Zhu Ling more or less.

But Zhu Ling's face was very calm and he could not tell his joy or anger.

The ministers all exclaimed in their hearts. General Zhu was indeed calm, and compared to Zhao Yun, he was nothing.

After the ministers almost arrived, Xun Yu looked down and said, "Zhao Yun led 30,000 cavalry to plunder my food roads, destroy our large number of camps, break through some county towns, burn down treasury, grain, and take away gold, silver and weapons that can be taken away. You should know this news."

As he said that, Xun Yu glanced at the people in the hall and said, "Now the Prime Minister is no longer, we should discuss a solution. I wonder if your colleagues have a good idea?"

"Shangshu Ling was really too cautious. The bandits invaded, so they would naturally kill them head-on. It would be so that the people of Chu could taste the power of our northern cavalry. What does it mean to be good at fighting in the north and good at water in the south? It would be best for them to hold it in the south for the rest of their lives and rely on the Yangtze River system to survive." A minister laughed when he heard this.

Not only one person, but some people agree.

"Mr. Zhu's right made the Chu people open their eyes wide and look at it, hahahaha."

"Yes, it's so."

Some ministers burst into laughter. With Zhu Ling here, they were full of confidence. The Chu people were considered a ball in the cavalry.

Xun Yu first looked at the other ministers calmly and found that no one opposed it. He followed the situation and turned to look at Zhu Ling and said, "Now there is news that Zhao Yunzheng led his troops to rob the fire in Zhongmu. Let's go to Wenbo."

Zhu Ling, who had always had a calm and natural expression, showed a decisive expression and bowed to Xun Yu: "Don't worry, if you go down, go back."

Words seem arrogant, but they bring strong confidence to the northerners.

"Okay, I wish General Zhu a victory in the flag and destroy Zhao Yun. It will leave no more cavalry in the State of Chu."

"The general is really proud."

The ministers exclaimed.
