Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao, please answer the question!

Forest paths are less friendly to cavalry than infantry.

Because as long as there is a surprise attack, the cavalry cannot get together to charge, and the combat effectiveness will be reduced by half or even more.

The army stretched to seven or eight miles was easily dispersed.

"Rest ahead!"

In front is a rare open space in the forest. As long as you walk out of this forest, the trees in front will become much sparser.

"I have rested three times along the way, and I will definitely be caught up by Cao Jun!" Mi Zhu said.

Liu Bei nodded, but he was helpless: "The horse can't run all the time. The soldiers are all wearing armor, which is a burden for the horse."

Generally speaking, a powerful cavalry will not have only one horse.

In order to facilitate movement, horses can also provide assistance during battle.

Including the trapped camp, they lost more than 200 horses when they entered Xiling before, and because of the shortage of horses in the city, they had to distribute [-] horses to the armed cavalry.

So their current number is nearly a thousand, and their horses are less than fourteen hundred.

Such a situation cannot realize fast transfer.

Of course, Liu Bei can also leave some cavalry behind.

But the cavalry here are all the elite among the elite, and it would be a great loss for him to lose one of them.

Especially the equipment on them, the value of a cavalryman is equivalent to dozens of ordinary soldiers.

Lu Bu was so willing to spend money for his subordinates, no wonder he was able to form a monster-like camp.

Sun Qian and Sun Gongyou used branches to draw on the ground, which is a rough topographic map.

He pointed at the topographic map with a wooden branch and said, "Look here, my lord. If Cao Cao wants to stop us, he will definitely go around in front of us and occupy this place first!"

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack here, and you can't trade in."

Has been in Xiling, although Liu Bei is idle, but as a counselor, Sun Qian must not be idle.

So he took a look at the county chronicles, and also had an understanding of the terrain from Xiling to the surrounding counties.

Liu Bei saw that it was a low hill surrounded by forests.

When the cavalry entered the forest, they were just caught blind.

"Is there another way to go?" he asked.

"Need to enter Yangzhou County!" Sun Gan said.

It needs to go around a big circle, which is basically a U shape, and the journey has changed from one day to two or three days.

Liu Bei pondered for a while. The most important thing for them now is to avoid the pursuit of Cao Jun, and the rendezvous with the coalition forces is still secondary.

They even don't know if the coalition forces have reached E County yet.

After all, when Guan Yu came, the coalition forces had not set off yet.

Unlike their cavalry, the coalition forces are mostly infantry and walk slowly.

After thinking for a while, Liu Bei said, "It's better not to take risks. The terrain here is extremely unfavorable for cavalry."

"Detour! Even if we meet Cao Jun, we may not be able to rush over, but here, we may have to wait to die!"

This is naturally where Sun Qian pointed at just now.

In fact, walking along the river bank is also a good choice, but for infantry, the terrain on the river bank is more complicated.

After getting ready.

Liu Bei mounted his horse again, with Guan Yu guarding him.

The whole team went from south to east again.

Enter the Yangzhou County area.

Soon the line of sight really opened up, and the trees became much lower and sparser.

The cavalry finally stopped being aggrieved, and the snake-like team gathered into a group.

But just for a short while, the whole army turned around again, from east to west.

This road is basically smooth, although it has already wasted a day, it is better to be safe!

I haven't met Cao Jun all day and night!

The shadow of the tree retreated rapidly.

Zhao Yun seemed to see a figure on a horse, and he thought it was one of his own.

But looking carefully, the armor on the man was obviously wrong.

And it's not a single figure, but a group of people.

The man in the lead shot an arrow with a bow, passed through the gap between the trees with a whoosh, his archery skills were superb, and he shot a cavalryman who was trapped in the camp.

"Enemy attack!"

Zhao Yun reined in his horse and rushed towards that side alone with a bright silver gun.

What a bold man!

But he is not going to kill, but to find out the enemy's situation.

Looking at the well-equipped, copper-colored fish-scale armor, the whole body is mostly covered with red cotton cloth, but Zhao Yun knows that there should be iron sheets inside to increase defense.

They carried double halberds on their backs and swords at their waists, some held spears, and some held curved bows.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all selected from among a hundred generals, and the Tiger Cavalry was a level stronger than the Leopard Cavalry.

There were hundreds of cavalry on the opposite side. Zhao Yun saw Dian Wei's trace among the cavalry, so he no longer missed it and rode away.

"It's a tiger and leopard rider!"

------------

Zhao Yun found someone to report to Liu Bei, while he stayed on the left side to avoid the tiger and leopard cavalry's sudden attack.

"What? Tiger and leopard rider?" Liu Bei frowned.

He obviously didn't expect that Cao Cao would even send Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The elite of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is that each of them is a general, and they have a very strong control over the battlefield situation.

A single person can manage a team of hundreds or even a team of thousands.

Can be imagined.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a cavalry with brains, this is his essence.

Although this is not a dense forest, there are trees. In such an environment, the strength of tiger and leopard cavalry has been truly magnified.

The trapped camp is suitable for a frontal assault battlefield, and here is the home of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

They are like tigers and leopards in the forest. Now they are just observing their prey, and then consuming the prey. When the prey is exhausted, they will attack without hesitation.

"At least you have to fight in an open space, where is it?" Liu Bei asked Sun Gan!

"Five miles ahead to the right." Sun Gan said, "But I don't think that's a good choice. What we are facing now is not a tiger, but a pack of wolves now!"

The wolf pack tactic is to chase the prey, and then select the oldest and weakest from the prey group, and when it is exhausted, all wolves will attack it.

But when wolves outnumber their prey, instead of just picking the lone one, the ravenous wolves will eat them all.

Drive prey into the encirclement they set.

Sun Qian was reminding Liu Bei that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses might be waiting for him in the open space ahead.

Because the tiger and leopard cavalry were just harassment from the beginning to the end, their purpose was already obvious.

"Let's go to the open space ahead, fourteen miles away." Sun Qian continued.

"it is good!"

This is not the time for Liu Bei to hesitate.

After trapping the camp and shifting the target, sure enough, the tiger and leopard cavalry's offensive became fierce.

Arrows, who can't ride and shoot.

The trapped camp took out their bows and arrows to shoot at the tiger and leopard cavalry, causing casualties to each other, but there were no more than 50 people in total.

Riding and shooting in the forest is quite difficult and difficult to control.

"How many tiger and leopard riders are there?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhao Yun, who was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, replied, "It's about 500 people."

"The tiger and leopard cavalry are more than just a few people, what about the other tiger and leopard cavalry?" Liu Bei was puzzled, but he still issued an order.

"We can't go on like this, we have to break up this team of tiger and leopard riders, second brother!"

Guan Yu is an expert at leading troops in battle, so he naturally understood, took over the control of the army, and divided the camp and armored cavalry into two teams.

The reason is that they don't belong to a team in the first place. If they act together, they will get in the way.

The trapped camp rushed towards the direction of the tiger and leopard rider!

……

Chapter 1: Guan Yu and Dian Wei

It is very disadvantageous to be trapped in the camp and fight in the jungle.

Guan Erye knew it well.

Therefore, the place where the battle is fought is a small open space. Although it is not large, it can give the trapped camp space to launch a charge.

Fighting here, the passiveness of being trapped in the camp can be turned into an active one.

A burly man rushed out of the forest, Guan Yu frowned.

In fact, he and Dian Wei did not know each other, they were just acquaintances. He knew that when Dian Wei was in Cao Ying, Dian Wei had been dead for several years when he was captured.

But Cao Cao kept thinking of Dian Wei in his heart.

I have heard for a long time that Dian Wei is the No. 1 in the world's foot battle, even if Lu Fengxian falls off his horse, he is not Dian Wei's opponent.

Guan Yu saw Dian Wei at this time, and saw the calmness and calmness in his eyes.

This is the calmness of those who are absolutely confident in their own strength.

Sure enough, he is a good opponent!

In fact, Dian Wei didn't stop after only looking at each other, and that confidence would not make him stop when he saw Guan Yu.

Dian Wei rushed over with the tiger and leopard cavalry.

There was no hesitation at all.

But Guan Yu couldn't help hesitating. He looked at Li Wei beside him and said, "You give the order!"

If you fall into the camp, you can't suffer heavy losses, otherwise the road ahead will be very difficult.

After meeting Guan Yu's eyes, Li Wei learned the information.

Now if the lord wants to escape, he has to rely on the trapped camp. The trapped camp is the strongest cavalry in the world, but tiger and leopard cavalry are also the same.

All casualties in the camp must be controlled, but if this team of tiger and leopard cavalry cannot be resolved, the road ahead will definitely be as difficult as a muddy swamp.

Tiger and leopard cavalry can fight in groups, and they can attack alone. There are almost no shortcomings.

Li Wei's heart sank, seeing Guan Yu riding a red rabbit and charging out resolutely, facing Dian Wei, with a big sword shining in front of the scorching sun.

"We must maximize the advantages of the trapped camp!" Li Wei knew that this was a war, and casualties were inevitable.

Either now or later.

It is impossible not to die if you fall into the camp.

How to make the army achieve the desired results, but also control the casualties of the army.

This is exactly what a general should do.

"Form formation, charge!" Li Wei gave an order with a loud roar.

It is forbidden to fall into the camp, and as a cavalry with a small number of people, he only has one formation.
