The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7 Zhao Yun's Discovery

On the way from Guangling County to Xuzhou.

Zhao Yun followed Gongsun Zan.

Along the way, they rode their horses and galloped wildly. The people they led were the more than [-] cavalry that Lu Zhi had left in Xuzhou before, and some of the white horse followers who belonged to Gongsun Zan were among them.

Originally there were 2000 people in Baima Yicong, but after the First World War in Huainan County, the casualties were heavy, and there were only a few hundred people left in Baima Yicong with 2000 people.

Although there are only a few hundred people left, Baima Yicong is still very eye-catching among the more than [-] cavalry. The white horse is handsome and particularly conspicuous.

"General, we are in such a hurry, what happened?"

After Gongsun Zan received the news that Liu Zheng had appeared in Xuzhou, he quickly summoned his men and horses, and he didn't even have time to tell his subordinates what happened.

Only Zhao Yun, one of the leaders of Baimayi Cong, walked into Gongsun Zan and asked what happened to Gongsun Zan.

While riding the horse, Gongsun Zan chatted about these things with Zhao Yun beside him.

"Zilong, our people have come to report that Liu Zheng led some cavalry in Xuzhou, not blocking Xuzhou City, but seems to want to directly attack Xuzhou City!"

"What! Liu Zheng! Still attacking Xuzhou City? How is this possible!"

When Zhao Yun heard the news, he was also shocked immediately, with an incredible expression on his face.

"Yeah, I can't believe it, but our spies told us that the news is true. Now that Liu Zheng has led people to besiege Xuzhou, he seems to be waiting for someone. I'm afraid the people he is waiting for will gather together With enough troops, they will attack the city."

Gongsun Zan himself didn't believe in such a thing, but they couldn't help but they didn't believe it. They occupied Xuzhou not long ago, and when Lu Zhi's army broke through Xuzhou, they killed Liu Zheng's cronies.

Such a move should make Liu Zheng angry, and it is not impossible for Liu Zheng to attack Xuzhou again.

As for how Liu Zheng led more than ten thousand cavalry directly to Xuzhou City without anyone noticing, although Gongsun Zan didn't know, he was able to kill under Xuzhou City without anyone noticing, and he was able to lead more troops to Xuzhou under the city.

This is what Gongsun Zan was worried about. Because of this, Gongsun Zan wanted to rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible. Otherwise, after Liu Zheng really led people to attack Xuzhou, if Liu Bei didn't stop him, Xuzhou would fall into Liu Zheng's hands again. It is inevitable again.

Zhao Yun, who was beside Gongsun Zan, saw the serious expression on Gongsun Zan's face, and stopped talking.

Gongsun Zan seemed to have something to say when he saw Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Yun did have something in his heart that he wanted to say to Gongsun Zan, but what he wanted to say might affect the morale of some soldiers. I spoke.

"General, I do have something to say to you."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, do you still need to hide like this between you and me?"

"General, do you still remember the last battle we had with Liu Zheng in Huainan?"

When asked by Gongsun Zan in this way, Zhao Yun naturally stopped hiding and asked Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan did not expect Zhao Yun to ask about the last battle with Liu Zheng in Huainan, but that battle left a deep impression on Gongsun Zan.

"Of course I remember, my subordinates suffered heavy losses in that battle. More than half of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, all of which were lost in the hands of Liu Zheng's cavalry. I didn't expect that Liu Zheng's subordinates had such a powerful cavalry. It was ours. Baima Yicong may not be his opponent!"

Not only was Gongsun Zan deeply impressed by the last battle, he was especially impressed by Liu Zheng's cavalry.

Liu Zheng's cavalry is not only good in strength, but also relatively large in number. Except for the white horse righteous servants under Gongsun Zan, the other cavalry are not the main force, but ordinary cavalry. If these people are against Liu Zheng's cavalry, they have a good chance of winning But not much.

However, what Zhao Yun wanted to say was not this, he whispered beside Gongsun Zan.

"General, the last time I fought with Liu Zheng's cavalry, I vaguely noticed something was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Those cavalrymen are very strong on horseback. Ordinary people are very strong. They seem to be proficient in arching horses. However, many of their cavalry don't even know the basic riding skills. I was puzzled. Before I left, I Found this on an enemy cavalryman."

Zhao Yun shook his feet. On his feet, there was a pair of stirrups similar to those of Liu Zheng's cavalry.

"I found this thing under the cavalry's vest."

Zhao Yun gestured.

Gongsun Zan followed Zhao Yun's words, looked at Zhao Yun, and saw the pair of stirrups under Zhao Yun's hands.

It's just that Gongsun Zan didn't understand the function of the two stirrups just by seeing them.

"At first, I didn't know what the function of this thing was, but after I took it back and studied it, after hanging them on the saddle with cloth, I immediately realized its function."

As Zhao Yun spoke, he demonstrated it to Gongsun Zan.Stepped on a pair of feet on top of the stirrups, and then stood up on the horse's back out of thin air.

Gongsun Zan, who grew up in Youzhou, naturally knew how to ride a horse since he was a child. Not to mention proficient in bowing and horse riding, Gongsun Zan has a deep skill in riding a horse, but when he saw the stirrup that Zhao Yun showed him.

Gongsun Zan's expression immediately changed.

"This thing can make ordinary people have enough strength right away?"

If this was the case, Gongsun Zan would also be able to understand why Liu Zheng's cavalry had such strong combat effectiveness.

If this thing can really be equipped on their cavalry, it will definitely be a qualitative leap for their cavalry.

Then their Baima Yicong might not become stronger, but they could turn more people into cavalry.

The function of the stirrup is to make it easier for ordinary people to stand on horseback, and at the same time, it also allows people who are already familiar with riding skills to better leverage on horseback.

Definitely an invention that crossed the ages.

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

"I just found out how to use this thing. I was about to tell the general, but unexpectedly, the general suddenly left the camp."

"Hey, if Zilong had told me earlier that I ordered people to build thousands of them and equip our troops, then our cavalry would definitely become much stronger!"

Chapter 7 Cavalry Confrontation

The stirrup may not be of great help to cavalry generals of Gongsun Zan's level, but the help it can bring to the cavalry under Gongsun Zan is huge.

If it is true that Gongsun Zan's cavalry can be equipped with stirrups, then Gongsun Zan's cavalry will definitely be able to fight against Liu Zheng's cavalry.

Gongsun Zan hadn't really seen the power of the stirrup, but just thinking about the function of the stirrup was enough to surprise Gongsun Zan.

However, just as Gongsun Zan was communicating with Zhao Yun, there was a sudden trembling sound from the ground.

At the beginning, Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun and the others didn't notice anything wrong, because they were also cavalry, and cavalry running on the ground would have caused a lot of commotion.

And when the voice became louder and louder, Gongsun Zan realized something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Gongsun Zan frowned suspiciously.

"It sounds like the sound of galloping horses!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Yun also interjected.

At this time, Gongsun Zan could only see a cloud of dust suddenly rising in the distance.

Smoke and dust from far to near.

Soon, they approached Gongsun Zan's army.

This kind of movement immediately made Gongsun Zan realize that there were cavalrymen approaching quickly.And it takes a lot of cavalry to cause such a movement.Moreover, the cavalry on both sides were not far apart, and when they approached until they could clearly see each other's figure, Gongsun Zan's men noticed it.

"There is a situation!"

Gongsun Zan shouted, and immediately began to wave the flag in his hand, ordering someone to blow the horn to stop the running cavalry.

While Gongsun Zan was wondering, the cavalry team in front quickly approached.

The cavalry rushing to the front held a huge banner with the word Liu embroidered on it.

If the word Liu can't represent anything, then some cavalrymen who followed were embroidered with some Xu characters, and even the decoration of the cavalry gradually revealed that they were the cavalry under Liu Zheng's men.

At this time, Gongsun Zan no longer had any doubts.

"It's Liu Zheng's man!"

"Aren't they besieging Xuzhou City!"

Gongsun Zan shouted, and Yan Gang, Zhao Yun and others around him were all shocked.

Surprised, they still ordered their men and horses to prepare for the enemy at this time.

"Our spies didn't give us any news, and we can't control so much now, everyone is ready to meet the enemy!"

There was an encounter with Liu Zheng's cavalry in the field. Such a result was not what Gongsun Zan wanted to see.

After seeing the strength of Liu Zheng's cavalry, Gongsun Zan was even more unwilling to fight head-on with Liu Zheng's cavalry, but in the current situation, it was impossible to escape, so Gongsun Zan could only let his own troops, Prepare to meet the enemy at this time.

After receiving the news that Gongsun Zan would come to support Xuzhou, Liu Zheng and Xu Huang left quickly, abandoned Xuzhou City, and headed straight for Gongsun Zan.

Not for anything else, but to defeat Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop before Liu Bei's people notice.

After defeating Gongsun Zan's men, Liu Zheng could vent his anger.

So when the two armies faced each other and the fronts were handed over, Liu Zheng ordered the attack without hesitation.

"kill!"

Liu Zheng shouted.

Tens of thousands of cavalry behind him rushed to Gongsun Zan's side boldly and vigorously.

Oh oh oh!

The sound of the horn was heard at this time.

The cavalry from both sides collided.

As Liu Zheng is the main general, at this time, there is no need for him to fight on the battlefield himself.

However, because the anger towards Lu Zhi's army was transferred to the officers and soldiers, Liu Zheng was also taking the lead in charging at this moment. After killing a few enemy soldiers to vent his anger, Liu Zheng, who gradually calmed down, did not continue to charge forward. Instead, the army retreated to the rear and planned to command the battle.

This is the second round of the cavalry battle between the two sides. There was already a battle in Huainan City before.

It's just that Gongsun Zan didn't have any other cavalry under his command at that time, all the cavalry under him were dispatched by Lu Zhi to attack Xuzhou, and there were only two thousand elite white horse followers under him.

The more than [-] Baimayi people in Huainan City suffered heavy losses and only a few hundred people survived. These hundreds of Baimayi people are now here to resist the first wave of Liu Zhengqi's army's charge.

It is still very tenacious. The crossbow arrows shot from Bai Ma Yi's hands caused some casualties to the cavalry under Liu Zheng's command who rushed to the front, but hundreds of arrows shot by Bai Ma Yi from the army could not hurt tens of thousands of Liu Zheng's men. Cavalry makes too much of an impact.

Not long after, these cavalry still rushed to the cavalry beside Gongsun Zan.

During the clanging impact, the fierce roar of the horses, and the screams of the soldiers on horseback fighting.

All of a sudden, the plain turned into a purgatory, with drums beating and horns beating continuously.

In such a fight without distinction between the enemy and the enemy, personal bravery has no way to influence such a large-scale battle.

Gongsun Zan himself is quite powerful. He is dressed in a white robe and wielding a long spear in his hand.

But all the cavalry who approached him were killed by him without exception.

Correspondingly, the other generals around him, such as Zhao Yun, such as Yan Gang, all have good strength, and take the lead, resisting the attack of Liu Zheng's cavalry at the forefront of the battlefield.

Except for these generals who can fight bloody battles.Apart from blocking the charge of Liu Zheng's cavalry, the cavalry behind them were not so powerful.

Of course, Liu Zheng is not without fierce generals.

This time Liu Zheng made a surprise attack plan. In addition to the commander of the cavalry, Xu Huang, who joined the battle as the main general, he also brought Lu Bu, who had been hiding in Wu County and not fighting everywhere.

After all, he was going to face the three brothers Liu Guanzhang and lacked a senior general like Lu Bu. Liu Zheng also had some concerns about being weaker than Liu Guanzhang on the battlefield.

Therefore, Lu Bu and Xu Huang were the first wave of candidates selected by Liu Zheng to participate in the battle. In addition, Tai Shici, who was defeated and punished, also joined the array of surprise attacks. He wanted to avenge his shame and return to the Xuzhou battlefield. Get back some lost face.

When these three generals met gods and killed gods and Buddhas on the battlefield, they also showed great momentum, which inspired the cavalry under Liu Zheng's command.

Hundreds of Baima Yicong rushed to the front, and were beheaded by Liu Zheng's cavalry in the blink of an eye.

Gongsun Zan, who originally thought that he could rely on these white horses to buffer him a little bit and gain some opportunities, was immediately dumbfounded.

Chapter 7 and Three: Zhao Yun's Breakthrough

"How is this possible? How could Liu Zheng have such a powerful general?"

Gongsun Zan killed two of Liu Zheng's cavalry, raised his head towards the battlefield in front of him, and glanced at the white horse Yicong beside him. There were not many left, and all the cavalry behind him also joined the battlefield, but the battle turned into a battle. One-sided situation.

Especially when he saw Lu Bu and Tai Shici.With a great advantage, he entered and exited seven times on the battlefield, which greatly accelerated the defeat of these cavalrymen under him.

Gongsun Zan's face became even uglier.

"It's very strange, these people under Liu Zheng seem to be aiming at us!"
