Chapter 521 Zhao Yun was seriously injured(1/3)
"General, why are we heading towards Yuzhou? Shouldn't we go to Fancheng?" Along the way, a huge cavalry unit was galloping. The cavalry were wearing white clothes, and the war horses under their crotch were also white, which was all white. They were carrying two big flags, one of which was written with the word Zhao, which was the flag of the chief general, and the other was written with the white horse Congyi.
This cavalry unit is the white horse Congyi, one of the trump cards in Liu Mang's hands.
The deputy general next to him complained to Zhao Yun that Fancheng had a war to fight, but they had been coveting the Xiliang cavalry for a long time and were thinking about how to deal with them, but now they were in a different direction. After Xinye and the large army parted ways, Baima Congyi not only did not follow closely, but went to another line of defense. This direction was not to Fancheng, but to Yuzhou.
"There will be a lord's plan when going to Yuzhou! Just follow the order!" Zhao Yun said to his deputy general without saying a word.
"But!" The deputy general wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhao Yun's eyes, he closed his mouth again.
"Who said that if you don't go to Fancheng, there will be no wars to fight! You must know that our mission is very heavy!" Zhao Yun's words comforted the deputy general. Where can I fight when I arrive at the border of Yuzhou? Is it necessary to attack the city? And now the only elite in Yuzhou is the Qingzhou Army, but the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will not come out. Will it still be disgusting to station in Yuzhou like before?
"Report, report!" Just when deputy general Zhao Yi was very confused, a team of cavalry ran back.
These are all scouts of the White Horse Congyi. When Zhao Yun was acting, he threw out most of the soldiers and horses under his command and acted as scouts. It can be said that there are basically white Horse Congyi's actions in a radius of hundreds of miles. Report every half hour.
"Report that there are no soldiers in the north of the general!" The scouts ran over and reported to Zhao Yunhui.
"Continue to explore again!" Zhao Yun said to everyone.
"Yes!" The scout held his fists and took the order away. In less than a moment, another team of cavalry came.
"Report to the general that there are no soldiers and horses in the south!"
"Take it again!"
"yes!"
"General. Are you going to do this?" Zhao Yi didn't understand. He didn't know what his general was thinking. They are now in the area of Queweipo and the center of Anle City. This place is a radius of hundreds of miles. There are no ambushes or something. Do you need to release scouts? They even put scouts a hundred miles away. This is too careful.
According to Zhao Yi's idea, we should find a shallow place to cross the river south and go to Fancheng to block the retreat of Fancheng. This is the right way.
Zhao Yun did not answer, and another half an hour passed.
"Report, report, report! Report to the general, there are soldiers and horses leaving the city from the direction of the ancient city on the east side!" A team of scouts from Congyi came to report.
"Are you finally going out?!" A happy look finally appeared on Zhao Yun's face.
"General, you?!"
"Come from the direction of the ancient city! Is there no movement in Anle City?!" Zhao Yun continued to ask.
"There is no movement in Anle City yet!"
"It seems that Anle City's defense is not strong! So people need to be allocated from the direction of the ancient city!" Zhao Yun explained.
"General, are you going to attack Anle?!" Anle is a city in Yuzhou. When Zhao Yun heard that Anle's defense was not strong, Zhao Yi's heart suddenly became hot. He was going to attack Anle. It was also a contribution to taking down the city in Yuzhou.
"Attack Anle? Who told you?" Zhao Yun said to Zhao Yi with a smile.
"Isn't this what the general said?" Zhao Yi was completely confused by Zhao Yun. What kind of medicine can be sold in this general's gourd? This is Nanyang County that crosses the river. Is there anything to delay here in Yuzhou?
Attack Anle, if Zhao Yun has thousands of infantry in his hands, then Zhao Yun can take down Anle City, but Zhao Yun only has three thousand white horses in his hands. Zhao Yun is stupid, so he will attack Anle. No matter how small Anle's defense power is, there must be thousands of defenders. They do not have sharp weapons in their hands, so they can use their heads to pile up.
"Then go and kill those soldiers who left the city?!" Zhao Yi subconsciously used a puzzled sentence.
"No need!" Zhao Yun waved his hand. Another half hour passed.
"Report to the general, Anle's defenders also moved! Go towards the Quewei Slope!" Another scout came in return.
"Oh!" Zhao Yun took out a map. Although it was simple, it still marked the directions of Quewei Slope, Anle, and the ancient city. Zhao Yun looked at the soldiers who set out from the ancient city and the soldiers who set out from Anle, and Zhao Yun's eyes lit up immediately.
"As soon as the lord is right, Liu Bei will definitely transport it directly to Yuzhou, not to Nanyang County!" The most elite army in Nanyang is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the rest is basically not worth mentioning. Moreover, because of Zhang Xiu, Nanyang is far less popular than other counties. Zhang Xiu does not know how to govern, so Nanyang County has limited background. Before attacking Fancheng, Liu Bei had already thought of a way out.
"General, what are you talking about?!" Zhao Yi asked as he listened to Zhao Yun's words to himself.
"Nothing!" Zhao Yun didn't have time to explain to Zhao Yi. "Zhao Yi, have you been complaining that there is no war to fight! Okay, now I will give you a task!"
"Seriously?" Zhao Yi was sore about internal injuries. Zhao Yun had already followed the order of his lord to go to Fancheng to fight, but Zhao Yi left him in the rear and took the large army back to Xinye for rest, waiting for Zhao Yun and the others to come back. Listening to the robes who followed Zhao Yun and the others to talk about the battle, Zhao Yi was so itchy.
I originally thought there would be a chance in this battle in Fancheng, but who knew that the general would not go to Fancheng directly. Now, when he heard that there was a war to fight, Zhao Yi immediately jumped up.
"There is no joke in the army! Zhao Yi obeys the order!"
"The last general is here!" Zhao Yi hurriedly lowered his command.
"Zhao Yi, I will order you to lead two thousand white horses under your command to stay here from Yi Jianer, and go and have fun with those soldiers and horses from the ancient city and Anle. Remember not to fight in love. Let me drag it for three hours!"
"Two thousand soldiers and horses?" The white horse came to Yi in total with 3,000 soldiers and horses. What should I do if I gave Zhao Yi two thousand soldiers and horses, so the remaining one thousand soldiers and horses?
"The last general will take the order!" There are not many two thousand white horses Congyi. However, one person and two riders, plus the white horse Congyi's saddle stirrup, it can be said that this is also a very terrifying force.
"There are a thousand soldiers and horses that are left with me!" Zhao Yun didn't explain much, so he left the Yi Qianmen team with a white horse.
"Let's go, let's go and meet the soldiers of Yuzhou for a while!" As soon as Zhao Yun left, Zhao Yi let go of the horse whip and raised the white horse Congyi's horse hooves roared on this land.
"This shock?!" On the opposite side of the soldiers and horses from the ancient city, Guan Ping rode on the war horses in front of the army. This time he came to Queweipo to welcome the lord's grain transport team from Fancheng under the order of his father Guan Yu. In order to smooth the grain transport, Guan Yu took out half of the elite Qingzhou soldiers in his hand. The Qingzhou elite soldiers of five thousand soldiers, plus five thousand auxiliary soldiers, a total of ten thousand soldiers, and there were also five thousand soldiers in Anle. These were 15,000 soldiers and horses, all used to transport food and grass.
Although Guan Ping did not have much experience, this vibration could still be sensed, "This is a cavalry!"
"The entire army stops and sets up for alert!" Guan Ping made the safest way. Infantry battles head-on in this wilderness are not the opponent of the cavalry, and escaping is even more luxurious. How can two legs run faster than four legs?
The only formula is to arrange an array, and only by fighting through formation can you be able to crotch a cavalry.
The five thousand Qingzhou soldiers in Guan Ping's hands were all elite veterans, and soon formed a battle formation. The five thousand auxiliary soldiers there were also messy under the scolding of their respective generals.
Soon the cavalry appeared on the horizon. Guan Ping was riding on the war horse and could see the first horse and one war horse that appeared in front of him, which made Guan Ping very nervous.
The cavalry were dressed in white clothes and white armor, and most of them were riding white horses. This was not the key. The key was that those cavalry were too extravagant. Guan Ping could not believe the scene he saw. The war horses might be common for the princes in the northwest and the princes in the north, but for the princes in the Central Plains, the war horses were really as expensive as gold.
But the plot in front of me actually uses a one-man and two-horse horse, which is so luxurious.
If Guan Ping knew that everyone in these white horses were wearing silk clothes, he would know what luxury was.
"It's very good!" While Guan Ping was observing the white horse Congyi, Zhao Yi was also watching Guan Ping's formation.
A circular array is a turtle formation, without any technical content, but it is good to allow these auxiliary troops to form a battle formation so quickly. Which side is elite and which side is a miscellaneous brand can be seen at a glance. As for the other side, he is even more confident, and he actually set up a hook formation.
A hook-shaped formation must be square in the front, and the sum of left and right must be hooked. This is the most easily changed formation. This battle formation can attack and defend. If the enemy is weak, it can be converted into a conical battle formation to attack the enemy. If the enemy is too strong, it can become a circular formation to defend.
"Hmph, I'm still thinking about counterattacking! I have a good idea, but it depends on who you meet! Brothers, please enjoy our prey!" Zhao Yi raised his spear in his hand, and his white horse Congyi immediately divided his troops and galloped away from both sides of the entire Guanping army.
"White Horse Congyi?!" Guan Ping then saw clearly the banner of this cavalry. White Horse Congyi, this soldier. Guan Ping was stunned for a moment. Guan Ping had really heard of this soldier. He heard his father and two uncles mention that White Horse Congyi was not the former White Horse General Gongsun Zan. The lord often remembered this senior brother of the same school. At that time, the white horse Congyi, the white horse Congyi, was a person that Guan Ping envied and admired. The white horse Congyi made foreign tribes dare not invade on the grassland. But now this soldier he worshiped became hostile. Guan Ping couldn't help but sweat in his palm.
"Ahhh, they are here, they are here!" The soldiers and horses in Qingzhou were fine. After all, they had fought countless battles, and the auxiliary soldiers there were tragic. They were all frightened. They had never seen cavalry charges. Before they could even wait for the enemy to come, they all jumped up and were about to break out of the formation to prepare for their lives.
"Don't panic, don't panic!" Guan Ping shouted loudly, the enemies are only two thousand, and we have ten thousand people. What are we afraid of!" Guan Ping roared while waving his sword. But how could these auxiliary soldiers listen to Guan Ping's words? This is about to start rushing into the formation.
These auxiliary soldiers were temporarily pieced together from Yuzhou. If there is no money or food in Yuzhou, it will be difficult for Guan Yu to recruit soldiers, so he could only take part of the defenders and some of the county soldiers and yamen runners.
"Kill!" The white horses Congyi who were passing by nearby deliberately shouted loudly and started to kill, which scared a lot of them again.
Seeing that the formation was about to become messy, Guan Ping was also red-eyed. If the formation was dispersed like this, it would be over. Those auxiliary soldiers were the circular formations with the strongest defense.
"If you dare to retreat again, you will kill!" Guan Ping's order, the elite Qingzhou soldiers also heard the shouts loudly. The elite Qingzhou soldiers also knew what was going on with their teammates, so Guan Ping didn't need to take action. Those who rushed to the army would kill them directly. The Qingzhou soldiers killed them so much that they really scared many people. They were dead when they stepped back. They could still survive when they stood there. The auxiliary soldiers also understood this. Even if their calves were still shaking, even if they were not as good as they were, they had to persevere.
"It's good!" Zhao Yi couldn't help but look at the commander of the Yuzhou Army with some admiration. He could actually stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhao Yi looked at the flag on the other side with the Guan-like banner. Could it be that Guan Yu from Yuzhou came? But it didn't look like it. But no matter who it was, Zhao Yi's task was to delay these people.
"Brothers, give them some tricks!" Zhao Yi greeted, and the white horses and the Congyi all put down their swords from the war horses and put them back into the scabbard, and took out another thing from the horse's back.
"They only have two thousand people, and they are all light cavalry! We don't need to be afraid of him, even if they exchange their lives for another life, they wouldn't dare!" Guan Ping was angry with the soldiers below.
"Major General, look at them!" The deputy general next to him reminded Guan Ping.
"Bow and arrow?" Guan Ping was stunned when he looked at the movements of the white horses Congyi. The white horses Congyi took out the bow and arrow and put them all in the bow and arrow.
"Bluff!" Guan Ping immediately concluded that archery on the horse's back was called riding and shooting. Such skills can only be shot out by the elite. Without the skills of decades on the war horse, it would not be learned. If there were only dozens or even hundreds of people, then Guan Ping would still believe it, but now the entire white horse has raised the bow and arrow, so naturally Guan Ping did not believe it anymore.
But the fact is that Guan Ping has to believe it, "Impossible, Impossible!"
"Brothers, shoot!" Zhao Yi and Congyi flashed past the Yuzhou army with two thousand white horses, and there were countless arrows left besides the dust in the sky.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"My eyes, my eyes!" Guan Ping's army was full of food. If Guan Ping had his subordinates use shields to defend against them just now, they could reduce damage. But now just after a while, Guan Ping's army left hundreds of corpses in vain, and even more than a hundred soldiers in Qingzhou were killed.
"Damn it!" Guan Ping really didn't expect that these white horses Congyi could actually ride and shoot from the war horses. Guan Ping used blood to teach the tuition fees.
"The Major General and the others are here again!" Guan Ping did not react much. Under Zhao Yi's leadership, Baima Congyi galloped back and forth again, and another rain of arrows fell.
"Rise the shield, raise the shield!" Guan Ping is not a fool. He will not suffer a second loss after suffering one loss. The giant shields rise up one by one, but there are a lot of arrows under his crotch.
"Oh, I learned to resist!"
"Change the formation!" Even with the resistance of the giant shield, there was no time to avoid it. Moreover, it was not his behavior to suffer losses like this.
"Major General?!"
"I said to change the formation! Yanxing formation!" Guan Ping yelled at his deputy general.
"Yes!" The deputy general nodded and waved the flag in his hand. Qingzhou soldiers and horses were worthy of being elite. Especially after being trained by Guan Yu, although Guan Yu was very skilled in martial arts, he was still good at military tactics and formations, rather than Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei relied more on his own martial arts, so the Qingzhou soldiers under Guan Yu quickly changed formations.
"So fast!" Zhao Yi didn't expect that these Yuzhou troops would change their formation so quickly. Zhao Yi was careless. He probably had the wrong enemy.
"Rise the bow!" Guan Ping shouted in the Yuzhou military formation, and soon the Yanxing formation was set up, and thousands of archers among the Qingzhou soldiers took out their respective bows and arrows.
"Shoot!" Two generals, two armies, and two opponents yelled out together.
The rain of arrows in the sky was intertwined. The blood that fell would inevitably splash.
"What!"
"What!" Guan Ping and Zhao Yi looked in their eyes in disbelief.
To be continued...
