"Zilong, fight or retreat?" Wang Yu was also quite surprised when he heard this.
In cold weapon wars, light cavalry cannot be called the most powerful unit in any single field. Victory lies in its overall victory. Except for fighting on special terrains such as mountains and rivers, light cavalry can be said to be the most powerful unit.
Nearly invincible. Unable to catch up or defend against them. In a big battle, an elite cavalry can be used as five or even ten times the number of infantry.
At that time, there was a conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. The latter, except for 10,000 cavalry, was a temporary ragtag group. Yuan Shao's old team plus Qu Yi and Zhang Jia led the Jizhou elite, whose strength could be said to be far superior to Gongsun Zan.
The reason why they still acted like they were facing a powerful enemy, losing tens of thousands of troops and only able to kill about half of Gongsun Zan's cavalry, but still proudly claiming victory, was because the elite light cavalry was well used and the threat was indeed too great.
On the Yanzhou battlefield, the main reason why Cao Cao lost his temper when he was beaten by Wang Yu as soon as he started fighting was that he could not find a way to restrain the sharpness of the gale force cavalry. He could not beat the cavalry with cavalry, and he could not catch up with the main force. He might not be able to fight back.
They will be bitten by the Gale Cavalry and cooperate with Qingzhou's main force to launch a large-scale battle.
After the Battle of Fengqiu, Cao Cao knew clearly that Hulao Pass was in danger, but still stood still until heavy snow fell and the maneuverability of the Qingqi was greatly restricted. Then he led his troops westward for reinforcements. This was because the threat of the Qingzhou Jingqi was too great.
He didn't dare to act rashly.
There was no need for cavalry to cross the river and attack the pass. Wang Yu's order to Zhao Yun was to have the gale-force cavalry cover the battlefield and cover the rear to avoid being raided by Cao Cao. Zhongmou is more than a hundred miles away from Chuilong City. Even if Cao Cao starts a forced march, the main force will not be able to do so.
It is impossible to reach the battlefield in one day, and the only way to engage the gale force is with cavalry.
In this way, the problem becomes very strange. The only cavalry that can be established in Cao's army is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In the cavalry battle along the Pu River, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's combat effectiveness was obviously not as good as that of the Gale Force Army, not to mention that it was Zhao Yun this time.
Personally commanding the army, if the tiger and leopard cavalry come, it is only to give Zhao Yun the opportunity to make contributions. But where does this idea of fighting and retreating come from?
Zhuge Liang reminded softly: "The situation at the rear is unknown and the front is deadlocked. My lord should order the withdrawal of troops earlier to ensure everything is safe."
Although there were only Taishi Ci and Dian Wei fighting each other on the battlefield, there were nearly 10,000 troops crossing the river. However, time and battlefield conditions did not allow them to continue attacking Hulao Pass.
It would be good if the news from the Gale Force Army was good, and the vanguard troops could use Cao Jun's camp to build a bridgehead to facilitate the attack tomorrow. But now there seems to be inexplicable risks in the rear, and it would be unwise to divide the troops into two sides.
"Forget it, let's withdraw our troops." Wang Yu raised his eyes and took another look at the fighting group. He felt regretful, but he also knew that Zhuge Liang was right. No matter how big or obvious the advantage was, it would not turn into victory.
Don't be careless before the trend, otherwise you will wait to be reversed.
"Dang, clang, clang..." The golden gong sounded, and the front troops retracted their formation and returned to the east bank through the pontoon bridge. The rear troops turned on the spot and set up a defensive formation, preparing to meet Zhao Yun.
Hearing the sound of gold ringing, Taishi Ci was stunned for a moment, and was almost hit on the head by Dian Wei's iron halberd. He had never heard such an order after being under Wang Yu's command for so long. He was determined to decide the winner with Dian Wei.
But the military order was like a mountain, and he did not dare to ignore it. He immediately parried with his right hand, and stabbed forward with his quick spear with his left hand. While Dian Wei was busy parrying, he jumped back and jumped out of the circle.
"This black guy is very capable, but it's a pity that he's a traitor and has poor eyesight." Tai Shici clasped his hands together and returned the weapon to his left hand. He was also unforgiving and laughed loudly: "Let's stop fighting here today. Come on.
There is still a chance for the Japanese president to meet, and the winner will be decided. There are no eyes in the military formation, but you don't want to die in the hands of others!"
"There is no discernment. If you meet a wise master, you will follow him to the end, and you will live and die together without any regrets. It's fine now. Isn't it hypocritical to talk about the future? Besides, when it comes to fighting for the world, it depends on who wins.
It’s hard to predict. Even if your Wang Qiaoqi has the upper hand now, maybe when will the situation be reversed? Let’s see the truth under the sword!”
Dian Wei came from a humble background and had never read a book, but he was not without any knowledge. His words were not only very organized, but also quite persuasive.
Taishi Ci laughed and said: "What a black guy, but he is not a reckless man. What he said makes sense. You can only know who is strong and weak by fighting. It is really useless to argue with each other now. You and I will do it someday.
I'll see you in battle." After saying that, he turned around calmly, pointed his vest towards his opponent, and left with a big laugh.
This was supposed to be a good opportunity, but Dian Wei had no intention of taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack. He put away his double iron halberds, laughed twice, shook his burly body, and turned around to head towards the main formation.
Wang Yu was afraid that Tai Shici would lose his temper, so he refused to obey the order and kept staring here. Although he couldn't hear the conversation between the two generals, he could feel the sympathy and sympathy from the laughter, and he was quite sentimental for the moment.
.
Dian Wei in history was also a man who had no time to display his ambitions in martial arts. In his previous life, he paid for Cao Cao's success. No matter what happens in this life, he will never let down his martial arts.
.
When Taishi Ci was the last one to retreat to the east bank, the gale force cavalry also appeared in the afterglow of the setting sun. Wang Yu looked over and saw clearly the array of troops, his heart was hanging, and he soon relaxed.
The cavalry formation seemed loose, but in fact it was clear-cut and showed no sign of a tragic defeat. When Zhao Yun's flag appeared on the horizon, he was completely relieved. No matter what methods Cao Cao used, his soldiers would not suffer much loss.
good.
Until all the light cavalry entered the camp, there was still no trace of the enemy soldiers. If they had just suffered a defeat, the enemy should pursue them more closely anyway. Since there was no such thing, there is nothing to worry about.
"See my lord!" Zhao Yun and Tai Shici arrived at the Chinese army almost at the same time. Each of the two generals had different tasks, but their images at the moment were similar, with their faces covered in dust and dripping with sweat.
"Zilong, why do you look like you have experienced a hard battle?" Taishi Ci was about to complain, but when he saw the appearance of his sworn brother, he was shocked. He knew what Zhao Yun was going to do, but why couldn't he
Unexpectedly, the lord withdrew his troops not because it was getting late, but because Zhao Yun was repulsed.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Yun replied, clasping his fists at Wang Yu: "We are going to fight today. We will take advantage of Cao's soldiers' fatigue and attack them head-on. At the beginning of the battle, our army already had the upper hand, but it was only three moments into the battle.
, but Cao Bing came with reinforcements..."
Zhao Yun's narrative was concise and clear, and he quickly explained the whole process clearly.
The terrain for hundreds of miles near Hulao Pass is flat, so there is no room for an ambush. The Gale Cavalry just spread out, forming a large arc. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry came from a long distance, and there was no plan.
, the two cavalrymen fought an encounter.
This time it was not just the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that came, but all of Cao Jun’s cavalry units, a total of ten thousand light cavalry!
The two armies fought fiercely on the banks of the Jishui River. Although Cao's army was more numerous, there were only more than 5,000 elite tiger and leopard cavalry. The soldiers' combat power was at a disadvantage, and the coordination of the troops was not at the same level. Moreover, the chief generals of Cao's army, Cao Xiu, and Cao Cao,
His pure martial arts skills are far inferior to those of Zhao Yun, and he does not dare to confront Zhao Yun tit for tat.
As the war started, the Qingzhou Rangers who were patrolling the periphery came to help in the battle, and Cao Jun gradually fell into a disadvantage. If the war continues, it is not difficult to imagine that this battle will become an expanded replica of the Battle of Kuangting.
However, at this moment, reinforcements came from Cao Bing.
Said to be reinforcements, they were actually part of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In Cao Jun’s cavalry formation, the light cavalry were leopards and the heavy cavalry were tigers. The light cavalry was fast and walked in front, but there were still two thousand iron cavalry behind them, and the leader
The man with two thousand cavalry is none other than another tiger general under Cao Cao - Xu Chu!
No matter how elite the light cavalry was, they could not face the heavy armored cavalry head-on. Realizing that Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry were about to merge, Zhao Yun realized that the battle could not continue, and immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops.
Before Cao Jun's cavalry joined in, the Gale Force Army had always had the upper hand. With the cavalry and shooting tactics, it was not difficult to break away from the battle group. However, Cao Jun suffered a loss and must try to get it back, so he would naturally launch a pursuit.
There were light cavalry on both sides, with similar mobility. Although Cao's army came in a rush, they brought a lot of prepared horses, and it was difficult for the Gale Army to leave easily. At this time, Zhao Yun naturally had to cut off the rear in person.
After seeing Zhao Yun Duan, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu certainly didn't dare to pursue him rashly, but Xu Chu was brave as a skilled man. After a brief handover with Cao Chun, he took the lead and chased after him.
As a result, a battle between dragons and tigers also took place on the banks of the Jishui River.
"We fought five times and fought for thirty or fifty rounds, but you couldn't win against this guy named Xu Chu?" Taishi Ci was quite surprised. Of course he knew Zhao Yun's skills. He had such a superb quick spear.
It's really a god standing up to kill a god, and a Buddha standing up to kill a Buddha. In the end, he ended up in a draw with Xu Chu? This is really strange.
Zhao Yun nodded with a solemn expression: "This man has excellent martial arts skills, strict sword skills, strong strength, and his sharpness is not as sharp as that of Guan Yunchang back then..."
If there was a real life-and-death battle, Zhao Yun would be sure to win with the help of the BMW on his hip. His marksmanship was not only fast, but he was also good at protracted battles. No matter how strong Xu Chu was, he would not be able to defeat him.
But Zhao Yun has a low-key temperament. Since he failed to win the opponent in the battle, he will not say these words to put money on his face. He does not need and has no need to fight for this reputation. In the midst of tens of thousands of cavalry,
In a battle, individual power is ultimately insignificant.
"Well, Cao Cao is really anxious. The decisive battle should not be far away." Wang Yu's summary sounded a little unreasonable, but all the generals also understood what he meant. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were both Cao Cao's generals.
At this moment, they are all dispatched to the army to lead the troops. Cao Cao does not have Wang Yu's amazing martial arts skills and has sent out all the personal guards. Is it still far away from the day when he personally goes to war?
Wang Yu was about to tell the two generals to have a good rest and wait for another day to fight, when the guard outside the tent suddenly reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the camp asking to see you..."
"Who is it?" Wang Yu was stunned and thought, could it be Cao Cao's envoy? But at this time, what use is the envoy?
"He claims to be an old friend with a long history..." The guard's answer was rather hesitant.
"Old friend?" Wang Yu felt a little baffled. Could it be that the old friend who came at this time was... His heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility, an elder he thought he would never see again.
"He said his surname was Xu..." When he was confused, the guard added another sentence.
"As expected!" Wang Yu was overjoyed and quickly ordered: "Hurry, hurry up and invite me!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
