Just out of Yumen Pass, you can see the dark gray Gobi and the endless desert everywhere.
After walking along the northwest for a while, you can see some oases one after another, some camels carrying people on their way, or caravans appearing. When Zhao Yun and his party went north and entered the Pulei Kingdom, the Gobi Desert became even more...
There are fewer, and there are large hills and open flat areas.
Three thousand cavalrymen still continued on their way.
Zhao Yun's sentinels have been sent out long ago.
Although it was the first time for Zhao Yun and even Lu Xuan's army to come to the Western Regions, they were stationed in Dunhuang during this period. They did not do anything, but had already arranged soldiers in the army to act as sentinels to explore the routes along the way.
When marching in the Western Regions, the route is the most important.
Only by knowing the detailed route can the army move smoothly and not get lost.
Zhao Yun's three thousand cavalry slowed down as they approached Yiwu County, allowing the cavalry under his command to rest and adjust their condition.
Zhao Yun's purpose as a vanguard is not to fight, but mainly to keep an eye on the Pulei Kingdom. If the Pulei Kingdom makes any rash moves, Zhao Yun will give a thunderous blow to ensure that the Pulei Kingdom's army will not affect Gao Shunhe.
The army of Huang Zhong and others marched.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sentinel cavalry galloped back.
The sentry came to Zhao Yun and reported: "General Zhao, about ten miles northwest of us, there are about eight or nine hundred cavalry coming towards us. The other party's intention is not yet clear. However, the other party's cavalry are all wearing uniforms.
The armor should be the cavalry of Pu Lei Kingdom."
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Yun's eyes. There were only eight or nine hundred Pulei cavalrymen, but they were not many in number.
This power is not worth mentioning.
However, it cannot be underestimated, everything depends on the other party's intentions.
Zhao Yun made a decisive decision and said loudly: "The army will march at the current speed and at the same time send orders to prepare for war. In addition, we must further monitor and investigate carefully the inquiries about the Pulei cavalry."
"Here!"
The sentry went to deliver the order.
The messenger quickly informed them of the arrangements.
Zhao Yun and his men continued on their way, and the two sides were heading towards each other. When Zhao Yun received a report from the sentinel again, the distance between the two sides was less than three miles. The sentinel said that the Pulei Kingdom's cavalry did not slow down at all, and still told them to hurry up.
Zhao Yun made a judgment in his mind.
If the other party comes with good intentions, they must have sent sentinels to convey the message first, express goodwill, and ensure that the situation between the two parties is under control.
So far, there is no news at all.
This is not right.
Zhao Yun further ordered his soldiers to prepare for war.
The two sides moved towards each other, and soon the distance was less than a mile away. Yuan Duo, the chief general of Pulei Kingdom, saw Zhao Yun and his party from a distance, and led his men to attack with all their strength. At this time, Zhao Yun became even more determined.
The visitor is not good!
However, Zhao Yun was not afraid. Instead, he was happy. He was getting what he wanted.
Zhao Yun was a master of cavalry combat. He noticed that there was no prelude to Yuan Duo's attack. As soon as he thought about it, he ordered: "Prepare the short spear, launch!"
The ordering soldier quickly waved the order flag.
The flag was fluttering at the front, and each of the cavalrymen noticed it. They quickly took out their short spears from the pockets beside their horses' belly, leaned back forty-five degrees, and then violently threw them forward.
Both sides of the attack on the battlefield are cavalry. They are fast and can cover a long distance in the blink of an eye. Under such a premise, the short gun is thrown out and with the help of the power of the horse's sprint, it is already over in the blink of an eye.
It was like a gust of wind and rain falling with a sharp roar.
The 800 Pu Lei cavalry brought by Yuan Duo were all scattered and not densely packed.
When the short spears fell, they actually didn’t kill many people. However, when the short spears fell in a chaotic manner, the cavalrymen of the Pulei Kingdom fled one after another, and the neat formation that was charging forward was completely disrupted. In such a short period of time, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun
Three thousand cavalry surrounded it in a fan shape.
"kill!"
Zhao Yun doesn't have any mercy.
If the person who comes is not good, then he will be killed.
Kill first to stop the killing, killing the leader of Pulei Kingdom with fear.
Zhao Yun carried the gun and went over. He kept swinging the silver gentian gun, and the gun shot out like a dragon. He only saw him swinging the gun one after another, and the cavalry of the Pulei Kingdom were killed one by one. Zhao Yun went forward indomitably and fought in invincibly.
The same goes for other cavalry.
Zhao Yun's Ming Dynasty Jingqi tore through Yuan Duo's defense line and swept over it continuously.
Yuan Duo was completely stunned when he saw this scene.
He fell into sluggishness.
He believed that although the Ming Dynasty had many cavalry, the 800 cavalry he led were all elites, and they were selected from the elites. Each of their elites could equal one to ten, and he was very confident.
Unexpectedly, he collapsed as soon as they met.
The disparity in strength is too great.
"General Yuanduo, retreat quickly, our people are destroyed."
Yuanduo's guards shouted loudly.
Yuan Duo came back to his senses, and he realized it instantly. He no longer ignored the fighting around him, quickly turned his horse's head, and ran away quickly with the guards around him.
Yuan Duo escaped first, and the news spread immediately.
There were not many cavalry in the Pulei Kingdom, and these soldiers were pressed to the ground and rubbed. They lost any fighting spirit and fled one after another.
Zhao Yun quickly covered them up without any effort. Although the countries in the Western Region were in chaos, there was no super powerful country. They were all small countries. Each of them could maintain thousands of troops, so they were all considered big countries.
The battles between the countries in the Western Region are all small-scale battles between rookies. Like Zhao Yun, there are 3,000 cavalry in a battle, and each cavalry is a real elite, which is simply extremely rare.
Yuan Duo was immediately stunned.
Inside, I was even more panicked.
Yuan Duo fled in a panic. He glanced around and saw that his men were being overtaken, killed, or choosing to resist. A deep despair arose in his heart.
Yuan Duo kept retreating, but fortunately he was not too far away from Yiwu City. In less than an hour, Yuan Duo returned to Yiwu City on horseback. He came to the gate of the city, raised his head and looked towards the tower, shouting
Said: "Your Majesty the King, open the city gate quickly."
On the tower, Pudan had been waiting for a long time.
He hoped to win, but now that he saw Yuan Duo coming back and escaping in a panic, he was a little panicked for a moment, but he could only order the city gate to be opened. Only sixty or seventy of the cavalry led by Yuan Duo escaped.
.
Yuan Duo hurried up to the tower, looked at Pu Dan, and reported: "Your Majesty, the general is incompetent and has been defeated!"
Pu Dan looked curious and asked eagerly: "Yuan Duo, what is the situation like in this battle? How strong is the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army?"
Yuanduo said in horror: "Invincible!"
When Pu Dan heard Yuan Duo's comment, he was stunned for a moment.
