Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155: One Cavalry Against a Thousand

Gao Pei regretted it so much, not because he saw that the ladder shaft and so on were fake.

But I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Zhang Fei's decision to go to the meeting alone in the first place, which resulted in this disaster.

But Baishui Pass has changed hands, and now it doesn't help.

General Zhang, please take the lock off me. Gao Pei requested.

Looking at the gray-faced general of Baishui Pass, Zhang Fei could easily guess what he was thinking. He just didn't want to surrender.

Then it's up to you. Zhang Fei admired this kind of good man even more:

Fan Jiang, find a clean room and ask General Gao to come in and take good care of you.

After the instructions were given, Zhang Fei appointed Huo Jun to be responsible for the defense of Baishui Pass as the temporary guardian of Baishui Pass.

Me? Huo Jun was extremely surprised: What about you, General?

Standing on the wall of Baishui Pass, Zhang Fei looked at the heroic clouds in the east:

Zhang Lu may be coming, and I want to entertain him for my eldest brother.

A bowl of gruel was cooked on the fire until it became soft, then poured into a bowl and brought to Pang Xi, the prefect of Langzhong on the city wall.

Yang Huai led the White Water Army as promised, and then Pang Xi got angry.

The attack cannot be taken down for a while. Pang Xi and Liu Zhang have been in conflict for a long time, and Langzhong itself is also responsible for serving as the second line of defense in case Baishui Pass is lost.

Therefore, the city defense in Langzhong is not bad, and the Baishui Army is only the defender of Baishui Pass. They are used to garrisoning the passes, so attacking the city is really a bit blind.

However, Yang Huai was also known as a famous general in Shu, and he was not at the same level as Fu Jin who had previously led the army from Chengdu. This was why Pang Xi was so anxious to get angry.

After Zhao Zuo learned about Pang Xi's worries, he showed a mocking look at the uninformed:

You dare to call yourself a famous general by relying on the natural dangers of your name?

General Pang has not recognized the world's heroes for a long time.

Pang Xi had an unconvinced look on his face, and at the same time, the hot gruel burned the blisters in his mouth, making this expression particularly strange.

Zhao Ze shook his head and didn't bother to explain. He stood side by side with Pang Xi and looked at the situation outside the city.

Langzhong City is not easy to fight. It is surrounded by water on three sides, east, west and south, and mountains on the north.

Therefore, although the Baishui Army came from the north, they chose to station themselves in the south of Langzhong, across the Western Han River.

There is a rare small plain here, more than thirty miles wide, and tens of thousands of Baishui troops can be stationed here.

Standing at the top of Langzhong City and looking up, all you can see is the White Water Army.

Seeing another group of soldiers approaching Langzhong City carrying ladders, Pang Xi completely lost his mind about eating.

He hurriedly dropped the sentence When will Uncle Liu Huang come?

Pang Xi put down his job and hurried down the city to command the city defense.

Zhao Ze stood alone on the city wall and stared at Bai Shuijun in a daze:

Can Uncle Liu Huang really solve the siege of Langzhong? Zhao Ze was unsure.

Can Zilong really break the siege of Langzhong? Liu Bei was still a little worried.

Pang Tong was quietly deducing on the side, and when he heard his lord's question, he replied:

After the Baishui Army was divided, General Yide led the army forward, so there was no need to worry about Baishui Pass.

Even if Baishui Pass cannot be attacked for a while, when Zhang Lu sends out troops, Baishui Pass will be attacked from two sides and will fall.

This part has been discussed many times, and Liu Bei himself is very clear about the follow-up plan:

The Baishui Army under Langzhong City heard that Baishui Pass is in danger and will rescue them. Zilong only needs to find an opportunity to break out, and the Baishui Army will defeat itself.

After provoking civil strife in Yizhou, Pang Tong quickly determined his goal: taking Chengdu directly was too risky, and he should first cut off the claws of Liu Zhang, a sick tiger.

The most important of them are Baishui Army and Baishui Pass.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei of the Baishui Army were not powerful, but were favored by Liu Zhang; Baishui Pass in the north rejected Zhang Lu and was the most important pass between Hanzhong and Yizhou.

Therefore, Pang Tong's plan is to control Baishui Pass first and form a situation of closing the door and beating the dog in Yizhou. In this way, whether it is taken slowly or thunderously, it will be easy to handle.

Pang Tong would never have imagined that Zhang Fei could easily take Baishui Pass, and the messenger was already on his way to Jiangzhou.

On the other hand, although Zhao Yun did not have any uncanny tactics and his troops were relatively stable, he had one biggest reliance: he was a cavalry commander.

After the scouts found out the situation, Zhao Yun only felt:

When there is a plain and it is behind enemy lines, it would be a pity not to charge!

Do it as soon as you think of it, without too much hesitation, Zhao Yun ordered:

Zhang Yi, lead the four thousand troops and move forward slowly.

Open your arms and order all the cavalry to move on tiptoe, carry their bows and crossbows, and join me in the formation!

Step into the formation! Zhang Zhu was also very excited, and the heroic Qianyun responded and hurried to assemble General Zhao's cavalry.

When he attacked Yizhou after the New Year, Zhao Yun did not bring his cavalry to accompany him because there was no room for him to show off.

Later, after taking root in Jiangzhou, Zhao Yun considered that Chengdu would be captured sooner or later, and there were plains there, so Zhao Yun personally summoned the three hundred cavalrymen from Jingzhou.

Fortunately, it was already used in the first battle!

Zhang Yi was a little worried that General Zhao was taking too many risks. Zhao Yun comforted him and said:

Yizhou is isolated from the rest of the world. It knows neither battle formations nor cavalry. Bo Gong can just join me in raiding the formations.

After the cavalry was assembled, Zhao Yun went first.

Three hundred cavalrymen followed silently, carefully riding their horses through the shoals of the Western Han River Valley, where the terrain was relatively better.

After walking for more than ten miles along the river valley, Zhao Yun suddenly had a clear view in front of him, and a small plain appeared in front of him.

Zhao Yun raised his palms, and the three hundred riders stopped, silently arranging their equipment, and began to slowly adjust their formation, from a one-word formation trekking in the river valley to a Yanyue formation.

Zhao Yun's raised palms were flat and pointed forward, and then he took the lead and drove the horse under his crotch to run slowly.

At this time, someone had noticed the sudden appearance of the cavalry, and they began to shout at the top of their lungs, trying to alert the front army who was working hard to attack the city.

Zhao Yun ignored it. After the army exceeded 5,000 people, the separated front army and rear army actually became two parts.

The collection and screening of alarms, the transmission of warnings, the issuance of orders, and the coordinated adjustment of front and rear troops are not easy.

Seasoned generals and experienced grassroots officers can greatly shorten this tedious process.

But Zhao Yun didn't think that this army, which was hiding in Baishui Pass every day to defend itself from danger, could have such strong qualities.

If the Baishui Army was really a famous general and a powerful army as the Yizhou people said, why didn't they attack Yangping Pass, restore Hanzhong, and kill Zhang Lu?

Is it because you don’t want to?

Moreover, the biggest disadvantage of the Yizhou Army is that they have no experience in dealing with cavalry, because Yizhou only produces rhinos, not horses.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was not distracted and led his cavalry to slowly accelerate.

However, it did not directly penetrate the Chinese army, but whizzed past the side of the Baishui military camp.

Reinforcements! Pang Xi, who was standing at the top of the city and sweating profusely, was overjoyed, but then his heart sank:

Why is there only such a small amount?

Zhao Ze didn't speak. He was still young, so his eyesight was very good. From a distance, he could clearly see the dazzling light reflected by the sun on the armor of the first cavalryman.

Three or four hundred cavalry, charging into an army?

Then Zhao Ze clearly saw that the cavalry moved as fast as the wind, like a sharp arrow grazing the cheek. In the camp passing by, a row of white water soldiers had already fallen.

There was no fluctuation in Zhao Yun's heart. The cavalry led by him sometimes accelerated and sometimes slowed down.

It passed by the edge of the camp, passed through the gap between the front and rear troops, decelerated and circled to draw a large arc, and then started again.

The followers on horseback had their feet firmly clasped in the metal stirrups, relying only on their waist, abdomen and legs to control the horses and follow their generals.

The freed hands ruthlessly harvested the lives of Bai Shuijun.

When you are far away, draw your bow and shoot arrows. When you are close, you lower your body and stretch out your long knife, just like cutting wheat, bringing up a shower of blood.

Zhao Ze could see clearly that the Baishui rear army, which had no power to fight back, began to collapse. They had no way to deal with this cavalry of hundreds of people.

And this chaos gradually began to roll back the front army. Zhao Ze could clearly guess what the rebel soldiers were thinking:

There is the Western Han River between Qianjun and Langzhong City, and a pontoon bridge has been built at the narrow part.

Although I don’t know how to deal with the cavalry, as long as I cross the pontoon bridge, it will be safe!

Prefect Pang, Langzhong is safe!

Zhao Ze turned around and saw Pang Xi, who had been anxious and angry before. At this time, he had changed his expression to a confident one:

The Northern Cavalry is so fierce!

Zhao Zuo curled his lips inwardly, feeling that Pang Xi was really capable of surviving from Zhao Wei's rebellion to the present.

Then Zhao Ze stood on tiptoe and looked at the battlefield situation, and then he saw two changes:

More soldiers gradually emerged from the mountain pass where the silver-armored cavalryman came out, and began to form an orderly formation on the flat area.

And, the former army of the White Water Army who was rolled back unceremoniously killed the stunned rebel soldiers, and the disintegration was temporarily suspended.

Zhao Ze felt that he could understand the situation. The next step should be for the support army to confront the White Water Army. The Langzhong defenders would wait for the opportunity to attack, and victory would not be a problem in the end! Zhao Ze was determined.

Zhao Yun didn't think so. He watched the opponent's central army's flag slowly move to the place where the soldiers were broken, and watched a man who looked like a general shouting loudly, cutting off the soldiers, trying to stabilize the formation.

The opportunity passed quickly, and Zhao Yun shouted: Zhang Zhang, grab the formation for me!

General, please break the formation! Zhang Zhang shouted, and then took the initiative to lead the cavalry forward, and the formation changed from a crescent moon to a sharp arrow.

An invincible and powerful arrow!

Zhao Ze opened his mouth wide in surprise, watching the arrow hit the Chinese army flag hard.

If it was like a sharp blade cutting through the grass before, then now it is like a sharp ax cutting the ground, with the fierce force fading away.

The thunderous speed gradually slowed down due to the squeezing of the soldiers. Zhao Ze was heartbroken to see several knights being pierced by random spears, and both men and horses fell.

And at this moment, the middle of the arrow was revealed, and it was the silver-armored cavalryman!

He charged on horseback again, approaching Yang Huai, the leader of the White Water, and then fired a shot like a spiritual dragon into the sea, straight to Yang Huai's door.

Yang Huai felt the ghost of the dead, and he used all his strength to raise the long knife in his hand and narrowly avoided it.

But that's it! Yang Huai screamed in his heart, but then he felt something was wrong. Why did the cavalryman's spear fly past?

Zhao Yun was not distracted, and the shot was just a feint. While Yang Huai tried his best to block it, his left hand had already reached the hilt of the sword next to the saddle.

Drawing the sword with his backhand brought out a snow-cold light, Yang Huai's smile froze on his face, and the blood spurted from his neck sprinkled dots of red on Zhao Yun's body and horse.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little pity:

The white horse I rode today would have looked better.
