Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

With Liu Yu's secret promotion, the news that the emperor was going back to Luoyang soon reached the ears of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Judging from the news sent back by the scouts, the war horses were neighing in the two men's camps, and it was obvious that they were determined to succeed in the emperor's journey east.

As soon as Liu Yu's convoy left Chang'an City, the news of the dispatch of Xiliang cavalry reached Liu Yu's ears.

This time they dispatched a large number of cavalry, as many as three or four thousand people.

Liu Yu was still very shocked that so many cavalry could be assembled at once.

In his opinion, Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, with only 800 people, was invincible.

However, unlike the heavy cavalry of the Xianzhen Camp, the Xiliang cavalry sent by Ma Teng this time were mostly light cavalry.

In the cavalry units of Xiliang, light cavalry and heavy cavalry are generally mixed.

Although they were all cavalry, they were sent to different occasions because of their different attack ranges.

Obviously, this long-range raid is not the strong point of the heavy cavalry.

The two men decisively sent out light cavalry.

There is no invincible military force in this world; their lethality is only relative.

When Liu Yu knew that they had sent out light cavalry, he was already confident.

The method to deal with light cavalry is simple, that is arrows.

When feather arrows fall from the sky, that is the day the light cavalry will die.

The emperor's motorcade set off for Luoyang in a mighty procession.

Liu Yu sat in the carriage, silently calculating the time according to the information brought back by the scouts.

"The car is going a bit too fast right now. Tell the car in front to slow down. It should not exceed 20 miles per hour."

Guan Yu was riding a horse beside the carriage and looked confused when he heard Liu Yu's order.

"Uncle, what does twenty miles per hour mean?"

"Sorry, oh." Liu Yu said it casually, then realized that what he said was wrong. He recovered and said, "Tell the car in front to slow down."

He was afraid that Guan Yu didn't understand, so he continued to explain: "Slow down a bit, the general speed is faster than normal walking."

Liu Yu was a little crazy. He really didn't know what language to use to clearly express the concept of speed.

Guan Yu took the order and left in confusion.

The convoy was indeed a bit slower, and it was obvious that it still did not match the speed Liu Yu required.

Seeing Guan Yu returning to the carriage with a confused look on his face, Liu Yu gave up the idea of ​​changing the speed of the carriage.

Just keep going at this pace.

If it really doesn't work, wait until you reach the ambush, stop the car and wait for Ma Teng for a while.

As long as he didn't stay too long, it would be difficult for Ma Teng to find any suspicious points.

The carriage swayed slowly as it arrived at the ambush site. Liu Yu ordered the carriage to stop and prepare for a rest.

Liu Yu slowly got off the carriage and glanced at the sun in the sky.

A smile appeared on his face. The timing was good. If his calculation was correct, the cavalry from Xiliang would catch up soon.

Chen Dao stood beside Liu Yu, holding the spear in his hand, looking around with vigilance.

Liu Yu patted Chen Dao on the shoulder.

"Uncle Zhi, relax, they are not that fast."

Chen Dao did not relax at all because of Liu Yu's words. Instead, he became more vigilant and cautious.

Liu Yu looked at the dense forests on both sides of the road. The soldiers were holding bows and arrows and standing still like a sculpture. Liu Yu was somewhat satisfied.

Silence represents a quality and also an attitude.

Silent people, when they get angry, are usually hard to mess with!

The Silent Army, even more so!

Among the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, leaving aside his martial arts, if we only talk about military training, Guan Yu can definitely rank in the top five.

A northerner who knew nothing about navy actually trained Jingzhou's navy into a navy that was feared throughout the world.

He took this army and flooded Fancheng, almost forcing Cao Cao to move the capital.

Just based on this point, who can do it?

When Guan Yu was training infantry, he also paid great attention to the military formation. Although the formation was not as advanced as the Eight Diagrams Formation, it was also an ancient famous formation that has been famous for a long time.

From this point, Liu Yu can infer that Guan Yu loved to read "The Spring and Autumn Annals" in his spare time, but he did not only read "The Spring and Autumn Annals".

After waiting for a long time, Liu Yu sat down on the grass by the roadside, feeling a little bored.

According to the information brought back by the scouts, this time should be approaching.

Do you have to be so slow? If they don’t come soon, Liu Yu will consider moving to another place. After all, if he stays in this place without moving, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from Ma Teng and others.

While Liu Yu was complaining in his heart, Guan Yu, who was standing silently beside him, suddenly said, "Here it comes."

Liu Yu was shocked and stood up quickly, but found that the road was empty and there was no trace of the Xiliang cavalry.

He was about to ask Guan Yu if he had heard it wrong when he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves.

Guan Yu was indeed a veteran of many battles and had sharp ears. He was not mistaken. The Xiliang cavalry had indeed arrived.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the dust rising from the road appeared in front of Liu Yu like a giant ochre dragon.

They are worthy of being the world-famous Xiliang cavalry. This momentum alone is enough to make people tremble with fear.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry appeared in front of Liu Yu.

Liu Yu turned his head and looked at Guan Yu, only to see Guan Yu standing there with a red face. There was no panic on his face.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, they had completely entered the ambush circle.

Guan Yu's thunderous voice exploded in the field.

"Fire arrows."

As soon as these two words were uttered, the archers hidden in the woods shot arrows like rain at the Xiliang cavalry.

The Xiliang cavalry, who had been so high-spirited just now, suddenly showed a trace of panic.

This wave of arrows rained down, and half of the Xiliang army fell.

They were indeed elite soldiers who had been through many battles. After a brief panic, they quickly regained their composure.

A rough voice rang out among the Xiliang army.

"Don't stop, rush forward."

For the Xiliang cavalry at this time, the best option was to rush forward and bypass the ambush.

Although the power of the bow and arrow is enormous, the arrows need to be replaced. At this time, the emperor's motorcade can be seen. While changing arrows, they can break out of the encirclement. As long as they can rush to the emperor's motorcade and capture the emperor and all the officials, they will win this victory.

The Xiliang cavalry regained their speed, but unexpectedly another hail of arrows came from the woods, and there seemed to be no gap between the two waves of arrows.

How is this possible? Ma Teng was puzzled.

The first wave, the second wave, the third wave...

Ma Teng has confirmed that

The arrows came like a rainstorm and indeed never stopped.

The Xiliang cavalrymen kept falling off their horses, and after a short while, more than half of them were lost.

Ma Teng looked at the continuous flying arrows and knew that if he pushed forward forcefully, he would probably lose everything before he could reach the convoy.

"Dismount and form a battle array."

His voice sounded again.

The Xiliang cavalry dismounted and formed a circular matrix to resist the rain of arrows.
