Chapter 1047

After listening to Pang Tong's words, everyone fell into deep meditation. Yes, when the eastern expedition army first came to Luoyang, there were several wars with Yuan Shao army. Although every time the eastern expedition army retreated and Yuan Shao army ended in victory, Yuan Shao army could not cause a lot of damage to the troops of the eastern expedition army except for the territory of Jizhou.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun suddenly thought of a question: "cavalry! It's cavalry, because our cavalry is strong, but yuan Shaojun doesn't have a strong cavalry. Therefore, although yuan Shaojun fought Lou Sheng, he can't do great harm to our army. "

Pang Tong nodded: "what General Zhao said is right. The key is cavalry. Yuan Shao's cavalry is far weaker than our cavalry and Youzhou's cavalry. So this time, Yuan Shao tried his best to pull out the cavalry he had accumulated for several years and annihilate Gongsun Zan's elite cavalry in Jizhou. That's why he lost most of his cavalry and lost them again This is a powerful threat to our army. "

When they heard this, they all realized.

"This time, General Zhao and general Hua annihilated some of Yuan Shaojun's troops. In addition, Gongsun Zan had to get a lot of news about yuan Shaojun's cavalry. I believe that Yuan Shaojun's cavalry had been greatly weakened. In addition, the war in Yanzhou had not yet come to an end. That's why Yuan Shao was so cautious. He was waiting for the result of the war in Yanzhou. If the Lord could capture Changyi in Yanzhou and defeat Cao So it won't be long before Yuan Shaojun withdraws. If the two continue to fight each other in Changyi City, I believe the follow-up army of Yuan Shaojun will come soon. " Seeing that everyone had understood the reason, Pang Tong continued;

"in this way, we just need to be prepared for defense and wait to see what happens?" Zhu Hao said thoughtfully;

"no," Pang Tong shook his head and said, "it's not just to watch the change, but to prepare for the counterattack. I believe that the news of Changyi will come soon. At that time, once yuan Shaojun withdraws, General Zhao's cavalry must catch up with him and beat yuan Shaojun hard to let him know that Wei Jun can't come as he wants, You can go if you want

After listening to Pang Tong's words, everyone burst out laughing, especially Hua Xiong. The scar on his face kept shaking with laughter. The cavalry chasing the footmen was his favorite. What's more, with Zhao Yun's Bai Ma Yi's help from such a light cavalry, his Xiliang iron cavalry could kill all sides with confidence.

"Well, in that case, we'd better be prepared. Whether it's to prevent yuan Shaojun's attack or to pursue their troops, we need to get the news from Yanzhou." When Zhu Hao heard this, he was relieved. No matter what, he was always right to be ready. So he said, "everyone go down and do your own work. The Lord of the time has his own order."

As Pang Tong expected, the news of Changyi's great victory spread to Yecheng the next day. The people who got the news immediately got ready, and the cavalry began to pay close attention to the movement of Yuan Shujun.

Two days later, the results of the Changyi war spread to Jizhou through other channels. After the war, the eastern army did not continue to March. Instead, after sweeping the surrounding counties, Yuan Shao concentrated on strengthening the defense of the newly occupied city. Knowing that his plan to fish in troubled waters had been miscalculated, Yuan Shao ordered several armies to withdraw from Wei county.

If Zhao yunhuaxiong's cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, smelled the blood smell of wolves, more than 10000 cavalry would rush towards Yuan Shao's army like a tide.

Zhao Yun's cavalry focused on the army in the east of Weixian county. This is the 40000 troops sent by Qinghe, led by Zhang Nan and Jiao Chong. After they got the news of the retreat, they led 40000 troops back to Guantao without hesitation. Who knows that the cavalry of the East army arrived behind them just half a day after the withdrawal.

By the time Zhao Yun and his cavalry arrived at the back of Zhang Nan's army, they had already formed a formation and were defending.

Looking at the infantry formation in front of him, Zhao Yun stopped Hua Xiong, who wanted to rush into the formation, and said, "general Hua, the iron cavalry of Xiliang should be ready first. Let's wait until a certain leader, white Ma Yi, disturb their formation first."

Hua Xiong thought that if the bow cavalry first disturbed the infantry square array, and then led the spear cavalry to the array, the effect would be much better. He didn't say much. He bowed to his command.

As soon as Zhao Yun lifted the reins, he led the white horse to roar away from the Southern Zhang army.

During Yuan Shao's army formation, Zhang Nan and Jiao Cha looked at each other and saw the color of shock from each other's eyes. The cavalry of the eastern expedition army was very strong. All generals of Yuan Shao's army knew this. They didn't expect that they were so unlucky that they were targeted by the cavalry of the eastern expedition army. Although they were quick enough to make a good array before the cavalry of the eastern expedition army arrived, they were worth tens of thousands All the troops are infantry soldiers, but the nearest city to Yuan Shaojun is still tens of miles away. It will take a day for the infantry soldiers to March quickly, but now they are blocked in the field by more than ten thousand cavalry soldiers. I'm afraid it's more dangerous than good.

Seeing thousands of cavalry coming towards their own army, their faces changed greatly. They yelled at the heralds around them: "enemy cavalry, get ready! Archer, no archery without orders

In the formation, the generals everywhere soon called for their soldiers to prepare for the battle. They had already finished the formation, and they were all anxiously waiting for the battle with the cavalry of the eastern expedition. Especially the front row of the soldiers, they all secretly prayed that the direction of the cavalry was not their own.The roaring sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer. As soon as the cavalry was about to enter the range of the bow and arrow, Yuan Shao's soldiers were stunned. With Zhao Yun's order, thousands of white horses broke into two before the battle, turned from before the battle and rushed to both sides of the battle.

Looking at the cavalry in front of him making a sudden detour, the front taxi soldiers screamed for the rest of their lives, but Zhang Jiao and the two taxi soldiers in the array were as pale as ashes.

Their square array was built in a hurry. In order to deal with the attack of cavalry, Zhang Nan specially ordered that the front and back of the array should be thick and the two sides should be weak. However, he did not expect that the cavalry of the Zhengdong army were so skillful in horsemanship that they were able to complete the turn in the process of attack, and they were so integrated and unified. Now, if the cavalry bypasses the front and kills the two wings, Zhang Nan can almost imagine that the defense of the two wings is absolutely unable to withstand the impact of the cavalry.

"Run and shoot!"

At Zhao Yun's command, thousands of white horses bent their bows and arrows and shot at Yuan Shao's soldiers on both sides of the square array.

With the "whoosh" of arrows, thousands of cavalry ran all the way to the rear of Yuan Shaojun, shooting their arrows like locusts into the square array, causing bursts of screams.
