Chapter 195 The First Battle of Youji
The orderly nodded and left.

General Qingxiu raised his head and looked into the distance, but the direction of the Youzhou soldiers in the report hadn't appeared in front of him, then turned his horse around.

"Back to the camp."

……

It was noon, the bright sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature in early spring was still a bit chilly.

Gongsun Zan personally led [-] Youzhou iron cavalry under his command, and lined up on the plain on the border of Jizhou. Directly in front of him, a few miles away, a mixed infantry and cavalry formation with a maximum number of [-] was quietly waiting for them. .

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, Gongsun Zan raised the riding whip in his hand, pointed forward and said:
"Zhang? Under Han Fu's command, is there any general with the surname Zhang? With 3000 troops to block my [-] cavalry, does he really think he is Xiang Yu of Western Chu, or is he ready to die willingly?"

Among the generals around Gongsun Zan, Tian Yu patted his horse two steps forward, looked into the distance for a moment and said:

"General, according to our information, this person is Han Fu's army commander. He once made some achievements when he broke the yellow scarf, but his reputation has faded since then. His surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang He, and his style name is Junyi."

"Zhang He?"

Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows, "This name is somewhat familiar. It should have been mentioned before, but I don't have a deep impression on it."

"But seeing how he behaves like this, I think that his achievements during the Yellow Turban break were just a fluke. He knew that our Youzhou cavalry were the best at field battles, but they chose not to defend the city. Instead, they came out to fight us in this flat field. I wanted to die. , you’re not in such a hurry, right?”

"The general said so."

Tian Yu also smiled slightly and said, "These 3000 troops may not be able to stop a charge of our Youzhou iron cavalry. However, according to the report from the horse detective, the fortifications are complete in the city ahead and on the city wall. It seems that there are also some soldiers in his city. There are a lot of people. Zhang He sent troops this time, he probably just wanted to show off by playing against us, but unfortunately...he picked the wrong opponent."

"Ha ha……!"

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said, "Your analysis is good. Many people who have no skills but think they are unlucky and unhappy have this problem. If that is the case, let us tell General Zhang He today, Fighting against my Youzhou iron cavalry is the worst and last decision he has ever made in his life!"

"What the general said is exactly what Tian has in mind!"

Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, clasped his fists to Gongsun Zan, and said, "General, Tian Yu please be the vanguard in this battle! Just give me three thousand cavalry, and I will definitely be able to kill through the enemy's battle formation. Give that General Zhang, look at me!" The power of Youzhou cavalry!"

"it is good!"

Gongsun Zan nodded heavily, then looked at Tian Yu and said, "Tian Yu obeys the order! I will give you five thousand cavalry! But you don't have to kill through the enemy's formation, just kill them once! As long as you succeed in the first battle, I will personally lead three Wan cavalry, charge at the same time! When the time comes, the opponent will turn around and retreat back to the city, and we will charge with all our strength at this time, and use this battle to directly attack the city! This way, we will save the trouble of siege battle!"

"Tian Yu got the order!"

Tian Yu nodded heavily, and then personally led five thousand cavalry, rushed out of his own battle formation first, and went straight to Zhang He's battle formation!

Five thousand cavalry galloped at top speed, and the plain in early spring was trampled into a mess by horseshoes. Tian Yu originally wanted to speak harsh words to the other party, but when he saw the other party approaching, he didn't even have the intention of coming out to talk to him, so he simply said nothing. Don't say anything more, your own war horses are already in motion at this time, and a charge can be easily completed!
"Soldiers! Let these guys see the bravery of my Youzhou iron cavalry! Charge! Kill—!"

Tian Yu raised the sword high in his hand, and the sound of roaring spread all around!
"kill--!"

The Youzhou soldiers were all in the excitement of the first battle at this time, they all raised their scimitars high and galloped on their horses!
Youzhou's geographical location borders the Hu people, and there will always be conflicts between the two sides. After summarizing time and experience, the weapons of the Youzhou cavalry are still somewhat different from the Central Plains cavalry. For example, the scimitar they are holding in their hands at this time, It was learned from the barbarian cavalry.

Seeing the smoke billowing in front and thousands of cavalry galloping towards them, the nerves of all the soldiers on Zhang He's side were shattered to the extreme!
"General!"

The school officer at the side looked at Zhang Xi's handsome face, and couldn't help reminding:

"General, the enemy army has entered the range of the tripping rope! We..."

"Wait for my order!"

Zhang He fixed his eyes on the galloping cavalry in front of him, and cut off his drink, and told the school officer beside him to shut up.

The school officer pursed his dry lips, shut his mouth and looked forward again.

The Youzhou cavalry is still galloping forward, and has penetrated more than 200 feet into the trap area of ​​the tripping rope!
"General! Can't you afford it? If the opponent touches the pit and ditch and slows down, the opponent will be on guard!"

The school officer couldn't help reminding again.

Zhang He's expression remained unchanged.

"Wait! Listen to my general order!"

The Youzhou cavalry continued to gallop, and they were about to reach the range of the first trench!

"General..."

"Get up!"

Before the school officer could finish speaking, Zhang He suddenly stopped drinking, and the voice spread far away!

"Cross—!"

The school officer immediately raised his voice and shouted, and the flags in the army formation swayed from side to side three times in the wind!

Just when Tian Yu was thinking about the meaning of the other party's flag command, the cavalry rushing to the front suddenly lost their balance and fell straight forward!

And the cavalry who followed him immediately couldn't dodge, and directly bumped into the fallen horse, followed by a man who turned his back on his back!
Such a scene happened at the same time on this battle formation that was [-] feet wide and [-] feet long!The cavalry who had been charging neatly now seemed to be put on the ground at the same time!The horse in the front fell, followed by the stepping on the rear, and was about to rein in the horse in the rear, but found that the horse under his crotch had also lost its front hoof, and fell to the ground in confusion. Just as he was about to recover, he saw his companion in his eyes That uncontrollable horseshoe!

In an instant, all the horses were screaming, and after being tripped, the horses were covered with caltrops. Although the lethality was not great, it was enough to make these horses lose control for a while!
The horses were neighing, people were screaming, maybe they fell off the horses, and the injuries could not be considered too serious, but thousands of people fell off the horses at the same time, wailing everywhere.

This scene can be described as spectacular!

"Trip the rope!?"

Tian Yu was a little thankful that he didn't take the lead and rushed to the front. Seeing this scene happened made him feel ashamed.

"Hmph! They're just simple traps. After one use, they're useless!"

With a cold snort, Tian Yu took a general look at the situation of his subordinates. Although this scene looked a bit miserable, the actual casualties were far less than what it appeared to be. Seriously injured or died, but most of them were slightly injured, and they could still mount their horses and fight again.

Holding the long sword high, Tian Yu ordered loudly.

"Watch out for the pit of the horse! Everyone keep charging!"
