Chapter 152 Where did this young general come from with so much courage!

Three days.

There are many mountains and forests near Xunze, Guangling.

Zhang Liao had already led troops and horses to ambush nearby the day before, and sent an outpost to explore the grain road.

Sure enough, there are some ways to gain a lot.

"There are about a thousand soldiers and horses," the scout from the outpost reported, saying very carefully, "Twenty-eight grain carts, each cart should be several hundred dan, so it should be 10,000 to 20,000 dan of grain."

"If we bring them all back to the military camp, we can last for more than a month."

"The war horses are not very majestic, and the general leading them is quite young, thin and ordinary."

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and gently stroked the beard on his chin, with a serious and thoughtful look on his face, and said: "Tell the whole army to be prepared. Go down and rob the grain and then leave. Don't stay too long."

"Behead the general if you can, and if you can't, withdraw immediately."

"Here!"

The deputy went to deliver the order, and all the cavalry lined up in the open space on the mountain road in the distance were mounted, tied with iron belts, wearing iron helmets and armor, ready at any time.

After a while, wait for the grain transport army to pass by on the grain road. When it is difficult to look at the head and tail, charge directly to kill the army formation at the waist.

"kill!"

"Kill the enemy first, then grab the food!"

Zhang Liao immediately roared in anger while thousands of people were shouting, and all the cavalrymen held spears and rode towards the crowd.

But after a while, the soldiers and horses transporting food suddenly reacted and gathered under the cart one after another, drawing out a large shield every two or three days.

The iron shields were very thick, as thick as a palm, and extremely heavy. They were lined up in a row in front of them.

when!!!

The charging cavalry collided directly with the large shield. Unable to stop their forward momentum, they fell to the ground on both sides.

The war horse Herod screamed, almost wailing in pain. After a moment, he stretched out his long sword from the side of the shield and beheaded him directly, also beheading the cavalryman.

But the horse was not damaged at all.

At this time, the soldiers and horses at the front and rear moved at the same time, like two wings, to outflank Zhang Liao.

"What happened!" Zhang Liao saw this situation and knew that this was a well-trained army.

If we fail to evacuate in time, something big is likely to happen. "Go first! Get out!"

Zhang Liao shouted loudly at this moment, and naturally responded. He immediately ordered his troops to withdraw one after another, and took the lead in returning to the wilderness and leaving the battlefield.

However, the leading troops just now were unable to retreat, and dozens of people were lost in an instant.

The soldier behind the shield pulled up his horse, immediately got on his horse and drove away.

Zhang Liao looked up in an instant, and saw the leading general rushing toward him with his gun in hand, slapping his horse.

"Come forward!"

Zhang Liao frowned at this moment, and felt angry in his heart. The young general dared to come to fight, hoping to make a name for himself by fighting.

How can he make it happen!

Zhang Liao's face darkened, and he left on horseback, followed immediately by eight hundred cavalrymen, their robes flying like flags.

Hunting sound!

In an instant, it was as if two spears were stabbing each other, fighting together, and the rapids colliding.

Zhang Liao swung his broadsword to chop, but Zhao Yun blocked it with his long spear right in front of Zhao Yun's eyes, and then stabbed Zhang Liao's neck in the blink of an eye.

He even let go and threw it away. For a moment, the spear seemed to have suddenly grown an arm. After failing to stab Zhang Liao, it immediately swept backwards and killed one person with the tip of the spear.

Then he leaned forward, held the reins and charged the horse, stabbing out another person with one shot.

After that, in the chaotic battle, Zhang Liao's cavalry broke out of the encirclement and reached an open area. They led the cavalry behind them to bypass both sides and occupied one side each. At the moment of the encounter, both sides suffered losses. However, Zhang Liao's cavalry was short of troops due to long sparse battle formations.

It was somewhat strict in advancing and retreating, but there were more casualties.

The war horses ran towards the depths of the forest, and many stayed where they were, approaching their masters and wailing.

In a confrontation, Zhang Liao also killed two people, but it was very difficult. Some of the cavalry were able to react and even counterattack, which almost threatened their lives.

Two cavalrymen even killed one of his lieutenants.

At this moment, Zhang Liao's face suddenly became solemn.

He already understood that this group was definitely not ordinary soldiers.

Including those shield soldiers carrying food on their abdomens, it seemed that their shield array had been practiced for a long time. Therefore, after their large shields withstood the charge of the cavalry, they could also draw out their swords in an instant and kill the cavalry in an orderly manner.

Then he took the war horses for his own use.

With such agility, he might be an elite teacher around Xu Zhen.

"Be careful, the enemy is quite powerful!"

"Here!"

Zhang Liao's beard and hair were blown by the breeze, his face was gloomy, his voice became much more solid when he spoke, and his eyes were staring at Zhao Zilong in the distance like a wolf.

In his opinion, if these people were not trying to lure them out of Guangling to rob and kill, then they really wanted to ensure a foolproof transportation of grain to Xuzhou, so they wore such ordinary military equipment to conceal their identities.

So that you can go at any time.

So, the previous military information letters from Xuzhou to Guangling were also taken in desperate measures in order to deliver them quickly.

Otherwise, they just don’t take our Marquis Wen seriously at all.

Zhang Liao made an analysis in an instant, but his knowledge did not think that Xu Zhen was deliberately trapping and killing them, and he mainly didn't understand why.

After all, Guangling is not a fertile land at all. Now Lu Bu has no ability to govern and the people have no moral support. How can we farm? This year's spring plowing was even a mess.

Naturally, there will not be much food harvest after the autumn harvest. In this case, the longer the army is stationed in Guangling, it means that the soldiers and horses in Lu Bu's army will become weaker.

In the end, there may even be a lack of food, leading to mutiny in the realm. After many years of marching, Zhang Liao can certainly see these developments.

In this way, he did not think that people like Xu Zhen would deliberately attack Guangling.

Because internal troubles can be eliminated by foreign enemies, if the fighting spirit of Marquis Wen's army is aroused, the internal troubles may be temporarily eliminated unexpectedly and the enemy can be faced unanimously.

Besides, even if we can win this battle, what will we gain?

Zhang Liao thought about it for a while. He was in a different place. He looked down upon anything in his army. Armor? Soldiers and horses?

It's impossible. They also have war horses in Jiujiang. You can't just transport food to lure the enemy just for the war horses, right?

"Or is it to build up military strength?" Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly and felt that it was very possible that some people would indeed let their newly formed elite troops continue to carry out small-scale battles in order to build up military strength.

In this way, you will develop the ability to win every battle, and you will naturally know how to be brave when fighting in the future.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you will be victorious in every battle.

This act of constantly conducting battles, maintaining a high level of fighting, and absorbing battlefield experience belongs to the stage of "confidant".

Only by knowing the advantages of your own army can you truly unleash powerful military power.

"Kill over and surround the young general as much as possible. Don't underestimate the enemy. Look for opportunities and attack together."

Zhang Liao said softly, and the two deputies around him nodded immediately and each stretched out their hands to make gestures.

Let all the cavalry behind you see it.

This is the tacit understanding they have developed over the years. When fighting, there is no need to shout and communicate, but through the gestures of his deputy, several sets of military strategies for mobilizing troops are determined. Therefore, in these years, Zhang Liao has mainly been cunning and fast in battle, often

Can win.

The reason is that when fighting, he can still be flexible and changeable.

next moment.

Zhang Liao took the lead in urging the horse to move, holding the reins with his left hand, and fully holding the sword on his shoulder with his right hand, swooping down with an indifferent expression.

From the slightly raised hill slope, rush towards Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun also gathered troops and horses, and asked the rear army to turn the direction of the grain and pull it back. At the same time, he deliberately cut a bag, leaving rice grains on the ground and leaving several traces.

Zhao Yun mounted his horse and led his troops to charge back and forth. At this time, his face was quite resolute, and he held a gun tightly in his right hand. In an instant, he came to kill Zhang Liao again and exchanged a shot with Zhang Liao.

Once again, he sidestepped and dodged within a fraction of a second, and there were dangers everywhere.

But then, the cavalry behind Zhang Liao staggered and almost all pounced on Zhao Yun.

"Oops!"

Zhao Yun's face changed drastically, his eyes suddenly widened, he waved his spear left and right, blocking the sword, and after killing one or two people, he heard the roar of wind in his ears, which was extremely shocking.

I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, a big knife will fall on my neck.

I saw that he was quick-sighted, holding the reins with his left hand, hooking the iron stirrup with his right foot, leaning his body to hide on the side of the horse's belly, and then moved the part he was holding up, only holding it close to the head of the gun.

Rub the bottom of the gun on the ground.

The force was so great that the war horses felt the resistance and gradually slowed down. Then the cavalry behind him also fought hard to protect Zhao Yun on both sides. Then he stood up suddenly, like a dragon turning over, and swept across with one shot, knocking him down.
