Chapter 1440 North Road Riding Battle


    Wen Chou looked at the blood all over the ground, still howling, the wounded soldiers who were dying in the battlefield, and the corpse of Jiang Qi who was carried to the front by the soldiers, the corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily.


    Wen Chou and Jiang Qi don''t have any major conflicts, it''s just that Jiang Qi prefers people from Jizhou, while Wen Chou emphasizes loyalty to Yuan Shao. Apart from this difference, there is no grievance between the two.


    Wen Chou ordered Jiang Qi to pursue Zhengxi''s troops in order to hold them back. It is best to confirm where the main force of Zhengxi is, and then fight a decisive battle. Of course, it is best to lure Zhengxi''s troops and arrange for him and Jushou The ambush circle, but now it seems that this plan not only failed to be implemented, but also let Jiang Qi put himself into it.


    Wen Chou thought he would never encounter such a situation after defeating Gongsun Zan, but he never expected that such a scene would reappear in front of him today.


    This is an experience that Wen Chou is ashamed of.


    Unexpectedly, Zhengxi''s cavalry seemed to be stronger than Gongsun Zan''s Baima Yicong!


    Why is this happening?


    Wen Chou vaguely had an answer in his mind, but he quickly rejected it. No, how could the cavalry in Zhengxi be stronger than the white horse righteousness who has been fighting for many years?


    not to mention…


    Since Qu Yi''s death, the heavy shields, crossbows and broadswords under him have lost their inheritance. No one knows how to continue training, and they don''t know where the secret is. The units that had made great military exploits during the battle disappeared just like that.


    never mind.


    Wen Chou threw some distracting thoughts out of his mind, and then focused on the battlefield. After Zhengxi cavalry killed Jiang Qi, they fled westward. If he didn''t pursue, then Jiang Qi''s death would be worthless, and it would also seriously damage the morale of the soldiers; if he chased him, he would inevitably follow up The infantrymen who entered Dejushou were out of touch and could not cooperate in combat.


    Catch up!


    Wen Chou gave the order to pursue, he didn''t want to, and he didn''t want to wait any longer.


    In the past few days, Jushou has been telling him to be cautious, careful, step by step, and steady...


    Yes, Wen Chou is willing to listen to Jushou''s suggestions, but there is a premise that these suggestions must be effective!


    However, Jiang Qi''s body is lying there now, so how can Wen Chou continue to follow Jushou''s plan?


    My current cavalry has a numerical advantage. If I can use the cavalry on hand to bite Zhengxi, then whether it is to achieve some partial victories, or to kill one or two Zhengxi generals, then Jiang Qi''s death Even if it is worth it.


    Staring at the Zhengxi battle flag that appeared in the distance, Wen Chou waved his sword and ordered: "Spread your wings! Speed ??up! Chase and kill the enemy chieftain!"


    "Ha! Kill, kill, kill!"


    Wen Chou''s cavalry responded loudly, crouched down, kicked the horse''s belly with their feet, and increased the speed of the horse again. Most of these cavalry were from Jizhou, and their riding skills were pretty good at first, and in the confrontation with Gongsun Zan, after years of fighting, they could be said to be veterans on the battlefield, so they quickly raised their horses to the limit, tightly Biting Gan Feng''s tail, he rushed over.


    Gan Feng glanced back, whistling, and urged his men to speed up again, to increase the distance as much as possible, but because many horses, including the Wuhuan, had been running for more than half a day, and they had also gone through a fierce battle , so now the physical strength has dropped very badly. If it weren’t for the fact that Gan Feng and Nan Lou’s subordinates are all skilled men and horses, trying to lie down as much as possible to reduce wind resistance and reduce the power of the horse’s galloping, I’m afraid the horse will lose speed even more at this time...


    "Blow the horn!" Nanlou said to Gan Feng.


    Gan Feng shook his head, "No! Wait any longer!"


    "You crazy!" Nanlou shouted, "Yuan Bing is about to catch up!"


    "Hahaha!" Gan Feng laughed loudly, "I''m a **** lunatic! Did you know it now? I can run a few miles with his mother''s strength!"


    Nan Lou got angry, said "Hi", but didn''t say anything else, but lowered his head, pouted his buttocks, and got as close to the horse''s neck as possible, rising and falling with the horse''s back.


    The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Yuan Jun''s cavalry couldn''t help but began to shoot and kill some Zhengxi cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry who were behind. It is written that people with low luck value failed to roll through, were shot by arrows, and fell off the horse.


    "General!" The guard beside Wen Chou reminded loudly, "Be careful in ambush!"


    Wen Chou snorted, and said: "There is nothing in sight here, except for that forest, there is no ambush!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horns sounding from the forest, and a cloud-like cavalry came out of the forest. Out of the woods!


    "There really is an ambush!" Wen Chou was taken aback at first, and then he took a closer look, but then laughed, "What kind of ambush is this little army? Come, send an order, and the left wing will step forward! Defeat the enemy!"


    Immediately, the Wen Chou cavalry unit separated its left wing and headed towards the Huns cavalry who came out of the woods.


    Tu Guilai stood upright on the horseback, raised the battle ax in his hand, and roared loudly, inspiring the morale of the Southern Huns and horses, causing the Huns to quickly change their formation. Wai began to pull, and the left wing that seduced Wen Chou also gradually deviated from the original pursuit route.


    If you want Tugui to lay down his life to attack Wen Chou''s troops, to be honest, Tugui will definitely not do it. This has nothing to do with the alliance or not, and it''s not about Tugui''s disobedience. The main reason is that the Xiongnu and Yuan Jun''s cavalry really can''t fight directly...


    Looking at the equipment and weapons on his body, there is indeed a big gap.


    Although it is said that the Huns have mixed some equipment and weapons with the general Fei Qian who conquered the West over the years, they are still much worse than Yuan Shao, who was born in Haoge. There are young and old types in the whole family. Anyway, those who can mount their horses and shoot their bows can be regarded as soldiers for the Huns. Therefore, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, they are actually inferior to the orthodox Yuan Jun. There is a certain gap between soldiers.


    However, for the Huns, the Huns can easily and happily accept such a combat mission as dragging and tearing apart Yuan Jun''s formation and leading Yuan Jun''s left wing around.


    Tu Guilai asked his men to shoot, while watching the edge of the battlefield slantedly pulling, unconsciously taking Wen Chou''s left wing farther and farther...


    "The left wing is separated, King Nanlou, you can blow the horn now!" Gan Feng shouted with a big laugh.


    "Haha, blow the horn!" Nan Lou gave the order immediately.


    The low sound of horns echoed on the battlefield, and Liu He, who was hiding behind Xiaotupo, hurriedly ordered people to set up a banner on the top of the **** on the right side of Wen Chou, and made people beat the drums to meet the sound of Nanlou''s horns. , revealing its position.


    The sound of rumbling war drums resounded across the wilderness, covering all sounds, and seemed to represent endless murderous intentions.


    Wen Chou frowned suddenly.


    Here''s another army conquering the west!


    This is not a good thing!


    Wen Chou served as the thief-breaking Cao when he was a teenager because of his martial arts, and then he was promoted to the captain of the army. Later, after Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, relying on his good martial arts skills, he fought on the battlefield, wandering between life and death several times, and finally reached his current position. Now he has become an important cavalry commander under Yuan Shao, almost in charge of more than half of Yuan Shao''s cavalry troops, and even senior officials who are related to Yuan Shao and have eyes above the top on weekdays respectfully address him as General Wen when they meet.


    Today can be said to be Wen Chou''s first battle with Zhengxi''s troops. In Wen Chou''s mind, it may not be that he has not fought a good fight to prove his own ideas again.


    However, after the left wing was dragged away, such a situation appeared again on the right side. Wen Chou, who was subconsciously planning to dispatch the right wing, suddenly felt a jump in his heart, and immediately became alert. After thinking for a long time, he finally raised it high. Arms raised fists: "The whole army stops!"


    Wen Chou stared at Liu He''s array on the right, squinted his eyes and considered for a while, and felt that it would be inappropriate to continue the pursuit regardless of the threat from the flanks, and it would not be a good idea to divide the troops again, so he decided to stay and wait for a while. The follow-up Jushou will follow up.


    "Order! Tell Zuo Wing to stop chasing and come back!" Wen Chou ordered.


    "Wei!" The orderly on one side immediately agreed, and then rode his horse to look in the direction of the left wing.


    Different from the strategic game system, when the distance between them reaches a certain level, the orders of the central main formation cannot be transmitted immediately.


    When Wen Chou''s orderly galloped his horse and rushed to the left flank, he saw a scene that horrified him inexplicably.


    Wen Chou''s left-wing troops who were pulled away far away before, are now in trouble at some point!


    At this moment, Wen Chou''s left-wing troops had already run away unknowingly, quite a distance away from his main formation, so although the sound of fighting was deafening, Wen Chou thought that the left-wing troops were fighting with the Huns , Some voices are natural, and Lai Lai did not expect that Zhao Yun''s main target was not Wen Chou himself, but the separated Yuan Jun''s flank!


    Zhao Yun''s strategy from the beginning was not to eliminate or defeat Wen Chou in one fell swoop, but to weaken and reduce his troops as much as possible. Therefore, the strategy discussed with Liu He and others also adhered to this plan, first defeating Wen Chou''s advance troops Jiang Qi, if Wen Chou is chasing after him, then just like what he is doing now, pull out some of them, and then encircle and eat them; if Wen Chou does not divide his troops, and insists on chasing, that would be even better, as ** backstabs have always had the highest bonus...


    Of course, if Wen Chou is very cautious and doesn''t even reveal any flaws, then it doesn''t matter. Anyway, he has achieved certain results by killing some of Yuan Jun''s vanguards. What''s more, Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, meant to hold on, so no matter how you count, Zhao Yun''s side will not lose.


    Although Wen Chou did not recklessly step into the traps in front of Liu He after seeing Liu He and the Wuhuan troops, the left wing that was stripped out before was encircled by Zhao Yun and Tugui. lost heavily.


    "This..." Wen Chou''s messenger reined in his horse, a little dazed. The people and horses in front of me were chaotic, and on such a chaotic battlefield, the flags were intertwined, and the messengers couldn''t find the command system of the left wing for a while, let alone pass the orders...


    "Whizzing!"


    Several Zhengxi scouts cruising around the periphery spotted the three lonely Yuan Jun messengers, and immediately charged over while bending their bows and shooting arrows without saying a word.


    The horse of one of the messengers was shot, he groaned in pain, and galloped out while looking sideways. run.


    "kill-"


    The two armies fought each other, and countless soldiers were injured and fell off their horses every moment. The huge bodies of the war horses collided together, making a deafening muffled sound. The cavalry on the horses flew up due to inertia, and rushed forward with their teeth and claws. Even in mid-air, they still opened their eyes wide, trying to find something that could cut them. kill the opponent.


    "kill!"


    Zhao Yun''s spear flashed, shook off a spear, and cut the neck of the Yuan Jun cavalryman. The Yuan Jun cavalry turned over and fell off the horse with a muffled grunt, and immediately tripped another Yuan Jun cavalry behind him. The horse neighed and fell out. The Yuan Jun cavalry on the horse screamed strangely and rushed towards Zhao Yun!


    Zhao Yun didn''t even bother to take a second look. The spear was drawn and drawn, and it hit Yuan Jun''s chest and abdomen. Under the horseshoe.


    The spear flashed again, swinging away the swords and spears that were stabbing and slashing, and then the red tassels bloomed, hitting the chest of a Yuan Jun. When he returned, the sharp tail of the spear just scratched the neck of a staggered Yuan Jun war horse. The irregular tail of the gun tore a huge blood groove on the horse''s neck, and the blood spurted out like a fountain. The horse hissed, turned sideways, and fell to the ground.


    The Yuan Jun cavalryman on horseback was quite skillful. He jumped up in time, and when his body was in the air, he roared and chopped off the head of a Zhengxi cavalryman with a knife, but before he could celebrate his victory, a spear It flew towards him, pierced through his abdomen, and picked him out of the air.


    The war horse galloped like the wind, the sword waved like lightning, blood spattered, flesh and blood flew across, and the screams were mixed with the roar of the horseshoes, endlessly.


    The captain of Yuan Jun''s left wing commander roared repeatedly, slashing and stabbing with the saber in his hand, and killed three Zhengxi soldiers in a row. His bravery immediately attracted the attention of the Zhengxi cavalry, and they all adjusted their horses in unison, and directly moved towards him. He ran into him, and at the same time raised his knife and gun, slashing and stabbing at him!


    Lieutenant Yuan Jun tried his best to block it, and he was in a panic.


    At the moment when the two sides crossed each other, a Zhengxi cavalry suddenly jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Captain Yuan Jun. Lieutenant Yuan Jun turned pale with shock, quickly withdrew his hand, and slashed at the Zhengxi cavalry soldier.


    "Poof!"


    Although Lieutenant Yuan Jun slashed the shoulder of the Zhengxi cavalryman, and the saber was deeply embedded in his torso, the Zhengxi cavalryman still relied on inertia and hit the body of Lieutenant Yuan Jun, and the two fell off the horse together. go!


    Lieutenant Yuan Jun fell off his horse, blood was flowing from his thigh, he was inexplicably horrified, his eyes were full of galloping horse legs, and swords and spears were stabbing at his head constantly, even though he slashed wildly with his sword Blocked, but in a short while, he had a few more injuries on his body. If he hadn''t been a captain, the armor on his body was still relatively solid. I''m afraid he would have died now, falling in a pool of blood.


    "Captain! Get on your horse!" A Yuan Jun cavalry jumped down and gave up his horse.


    Lieutenant Yuan Jun gritted his teeth and grabbed the reins of the horse, and tried his best to get on the horse, but before he could breathe out, he suddenly looked up and saw an extremely bright blood-red flower blooming in front of him!


    The subtle changes in the battlefield here attracted Zhao Yun''s attention. After picking and killing more than ten Yuan Jun cavalrymen one after another, Zhao Yun patted his horse and rushed there. After flying for a while, it hit the ground with a thud!


    Although Yuan Jun''s cavalry is not much different from Zhengxi cavalry in terms of equipment, Zhengxi cavalry is superior in riding skills and more tacit cooperation. It caused great harm.


    Especially after losing the command and dispatch, many Yuan Jun cavalry could only fight alone based on personal experience, and gradually, under the cooperation of Zhengxi cavalry, they were hacked and consumed little by little.


    Although Zhao Yun charged forward, there were a large number of personal guards around him to protect him. In addition, Zhao Yun''s own martial arts were strong, so although he entered and exited the enemy''s formation, he hardly encountered any real danger. At the same time, he also had enough time to adjust. Formation, directing the men and horses to fight in the most advantageous way.


    Under Zhao Yun''s command, Zhengxi''s cavalry moved smoothly, like a rake and a sharp long knife, dividing Yuan Jun''s cavalry into pieces, breaking them down bit by bit, eating them up, and at the same time It also reduces its own casualties.


    Yuan Jun''s cavalry began to collapse, and at this moment the Huns who came from Bald Gui displayed 200% of their courage and strength, biting the collapsed Yuan Jun''s cavalry like wolves. Because the Xiongnu cavalry carried less weight than Yuan Jun''s cavalry, many Yuan Jun''s cavalry could not escape, and were chased by these Hun cavalry one by one, and then fell off their horses.


    On the battlefield, at this moment, the balance of victory and defeat, after the complete collapse of Yuan Shao''s left wing, began to gradually tilt towards Zhao Yun''s side...
