Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

On the top of the city of Jiangling, Jiang Wan stood with his hands solemnly in hand.

Behind him was the burning city of Jiangling, and across the river in front of him was Lu Meng, who was hoarse and crazy.

The defenders in the west of the city would report from time to time that the two groups near Lexiang County were fighting inextricably.

The defenders inside the city put out the fire in an orderly manner, while outside the city Wu's servants came to attack the city in an endless stream.

These were all reflected in Jiang Wan's eyes, but he didn't pay special attention to them.

Cao's army had no intention of hiding its movements from anyone. They came in force, prepared openly and then rushed northward.

Jiang Wan's gaze extended into the distance. The green earth blended with the dim sky in the distance, forming a disturbing gray, where Cao Jun disappeared.

Jiang Wan had a guess in his mind that that might be the place where the outcome of this battle would be decided.

However, he could not control the outcome in the distance. After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Wan gradually calmed down and focused on the war in front of him.

With the addition of thunderbolt cars and kerosene bombs, it at least seemed to cause a lot of trouble to Jiangling City. Lu Meng became more and more excited, and the commander on the battlefield was shouting his voice hoarse without even realizing it.

Jiang Wan saw all this and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: Closer...

Zhao Yun, who was in the north, could not hide the look of fatigue on his face.

After descending to Tongguan, Zhang Fei and Huo Jun came out of Tongguan with great fanfare to attract the attention of Cao's army and forced some of Cao's troops who were confronting Guan Yu to return to defend Hongnong.

Zhao Yun was ordered to lead his elite cavalry through the Bashui River Valley, pass through Shangluo, pass Wuguan, and enter northern Jingzhou.

To be fair, this section of the road is not easy to walk. After entering the mountains, the Bashui River Valley is not as smooth as the Weishui River Valley. There are often sharp bends and washed-out gravel shoals. In some places, you even need to wade through shallow water to advance.

Fortunately, all the mounts of the supporting army were shoed before departure, so that the good horses would not be left here.

Taking advantage of the river valley and bypassing the Zhongling Mountain is Shangluo. Because it is very close to Chang'an and Luoyang, it has been frequently disturbed by defeated armies since the beginning of the Troubled Times. People who could smell the danger simply moved their families southward, and those who stayed here were also Most of them were moved away and became residents of Cao's army.

Therefore, Zhao Yun's crossing did not attract much attention, and there was a way out from now on.

After passing through the similarly dilapidated Shang County, the terrain began to rise again.

A pass stands impressively on the waist of the mountain. The cliff is high and the valley is deep. It is narrow and difficult to pass. Only five hundred elite soldiers are needed here to teach tens of thousands of troops not to pass through and to overcome the danger.

But fortunately, the place is now empty and no one is blocking it.

This is the Four Fortresses of the Pre-Qin Dynasty! Xi Zhen, who was walking with him, looked at the pass with interest.

Hearing what Xizhen said, Lieutenant General Zhang Yi also looked relieved and sighed together with Xizhen.

Wuguan was formerly known as Shaoxi Pass, and together with Hangu Pass, Xiaoguan and Dashan Pass, it was known as the Four Fortresses of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. Zhao Yun knew this in the past.

But since the unification of the world, these great passes have lost their glory to the west one by one, and the same is true for the Wuguan in front of them.

But Zhao Yun had more thoughts. He still remembered the turbulent thousand-year history of later generations that he saw in the light curtain.

The Wuguan Pass built in a ravine will probably be gradually abandoned in later generations, but the Dashan Pass and Xiaoguan Pass are both located on the front line of the battle with the aliens. I wonder if future generations have left any popular stories for thousands of years?

These thoughts only appeared for a moment, and then Zhao Yun shouted loudly to the soldiers to speed up their pace. It was too cold on the mountain, and they expected to spend the night in Xi County ahead of them tonight.

But before leaving, Zhang Yixi and Xizhen, who had gathered together to lament, did something that made Zhao Yun dumbfounded.

Perhaps out of nostalgia for the past history of Wuguan, Zhang Yi ordered special units in the army to carve a row of large characters on their weapons on a flat spot on the wall of the pass. Xi Zhen also read it out loud:

The Han general Zhao Yun passed here and captured Jingzhou with his spear.

Zhao Yun wanted to hide his face and be ashamed to see others for a moment, but his subordinates Zhang Yi and others knew the general's temper quite well, and they immediately mobilized the soldiers to shout out:

General, is this a victory?

Zhao Yun had no choice but to respond loudly:

Must win!

So the soldiers cheered loudly together.

The laughter and the sound of victory fell from the mountainside to the valley and stayed at the end of the Qinling Mountains.

Xu Shu was overjoyed by this unexpected reinforcement.

Before Zhao Yun arrived, Xu Shu and Guan Yu discussed for several days whether to send troops to support Jiangling.

Xu Shu's judgment was based on the fact that Jiangling could not be conquered for a long time, so Cao Jun found an opportunity to intervene even if he had no choice but to do so.

After all, the Cao army stationed in Yingchuan at this time has neither soldiers nor generals. It is completely convenient to send a group of cavalry to act as a surprise force. After all, the battlefield in Jingbei is also facing a confrontation now.

But for Guan Yu, it was stretched. His troops were never abundant, and the few generals he had were staring at Cao Jun on the front line.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun's appearance solved this problem at this time, and Xu Shu's reason was also very reasonable.

Cao's army went from Yingchuan to Jiangling, either around Yiyang, through the mountains to Jiangxia, and then to Jiangling, a journey of more than a thousand miles.

Or go around the Lujiang River to Jiangxia, a journey of more than 1,500 miles.

Zhao Yunjing's cavalry from Wancheng to Jiangling can go straight south and it's a smooth road, but it's only more than 700 miles.

What surprised Zhao Yun was that before he arrived at Jiangling, the scouts accompanying the army reported that they had encountered Cao Jun's scouts at Changbanpo.

The situation of the enemy troops ahead was unclear, so Zhao Yun chose to garrison troops in Bianxian County, eighty miles north of Changban Slope, to rest.

Then the scouts were frequently dispatched. The scouts from the two sides clashed fiercely in the Dangyang area, each trying hard to break through the other's defenses and go deep behind to spy on intelligence.

Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief. He has nearly five thousand elite cavalry and is stationed in Maicheng. After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Yun repeated it to confirm that there were no mistakes, then patted the scout on the shoulder and told him to rest.

Zhao Yun is the commander-in-chief, and he has stationed troops in the county. The number of troops is unknown. Based on the horses, it is estimated that there are about three thousand troops and horses? Zhang Liao was very interested and also patted his shoulders to signal the scouts to retreat.

Shortly after the two coaches pondered, they issued the same order:

Breakfast at Mao tomorrow, march to Bian County/Maicheng at Chen!

Both of them can be called Liu Bei and Cao Cao's favorite generals respectively, so they are more aware of the current situation on the entire battlefield.

Cao Gong sent me to go around thousands of miles, aiming at a quick victory in Jingzhou!

Duke Xuande ordered me to attack via Shangluo, and Jiangling will be safe!

What Zhang Liao relied on was Hefei's great victory last year, which shocked the world.

Zhao Yun knows the enemy generals thoroughly, and now that he has a secret elite soldier under his command, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!

After a night's rest, the two proud armies finally met at Changbanpo.

Zhao Yun's heart was agitated when he set foot here again. A few years later, he and Cao's army fought here again, but now Liu was in the north and Cao was in the south. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart about the wonder of fate.

The coaches of the two sides have nothing to reminisce about. After all, Zhang Liao is not very familiar with Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun is familiar with Zhang Liao, he himself is not talkative.

Therefore, immediately after the encounter, the two of them were already shouting orders.

Then, the cavalry moved together!

For Zhang Liao, it was obvious that the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, so the tactic he adopted was the simplest and most direct frontal attack.

The simple and unpretentious tactics of charging into battle with cavalry using superior strength were also the tactics that Zhang Liao, who was born in Bingzhou, was most familiar with.

Crush the enemy from the front, and then chase the enemy like a hungry wolf to eat them up step by step. This happens to be the tactics Zhang Liao is most familiar with.

Zhao Yun immediately ordered the cavalry to avoid it head-on, and then tried to hedge at an angle.

This kind of tactics inherited from Youzhou's sudden cavalry was used by Zhao Yun with all his strength.

The Youzhou cavalry is the best at surprise attacks, but this does not mean a mindless charge, but because when the Youzhou cavalry attacks the Hu, they often fight with less, and the elite cavalry cannot compete with the Hu. Changing Shihu would undoubtedly be a loss-making deal for Gongsun Zan.

Then there is only one final choice. Use the advantage of the cavalry to use it as a knife to make cakes out of the barbarians, and carry out diagonal raids to divide, surround and annihilate, just like dividing a cake with a sharp knife.

Zhang Liao initially wanted to laugh when he saw Zhao Yun also charging, but then he realized that the direction of the enemy's charge was not his own, so he reacted in the same way.

Is it to form a formation to defend and retreat slowly to lure the enemy troops away from the open area? Or should we just turn around and try to attack the flanks to force a hedge? still……

Then Zhang Liao came to his senses, and now there was no room for hesitation on the battlefield.

The cavalry on the opposite side blew past the flanks of Zhang Liao's cavalry like a strong wind, and the hundreds of cavalry that were not closely integrated with the main formation were wiped out with precision like falling leaves.

The unfavorable first battle made Zhang Liao wake up in an instant, and he immediately noticed the difference: Horse...

This cavalry is completely different from the ridiculous horse infantry pieced together by Jiangdong under the city of Hefei. Compared with the Wuhuan cavalry at the foot of Bailang Mountain, they are even better.

With strong horses, cavalry full of fighting spirit, and meticulous tactics, this is a formidable enemy!

Zhang Liao felt that his whole body was boiling. It had been more than five years since Bailang Mountain, and he had never encountered a powerful cavalry until now!

At the same time, I also feel a bit shuddering. Back then in Changbanpo, Liu Bei was like a lost dog, but now he can defeat Duke Cao in Jingzhou, and he has such elites!

Not only for Duke Cao, but also for his self-esteem as the son of Bingzhou, he would not be allowed to lose!

Soon, the sound of horse hooves rumbled across the entire battlefield, but there was very little sound of fighting.

The two cavalrymen constantly adjusted their directions and attacked. Zhang Liao sought a frontal attack and defeated them. Zhao Yun was always keeping an eye on the enemy's flanks. During the surprise attack, the two armies only crossed paths and were separated at the first touch.

Even for the convenience of command, the commanders of both armies simply took the lead personally and led the army in the direction.

It's just that the overall situation is more tiring for Zhang Liao, because there are more troops and horses, and overall he is on the defensive. He needs to concentrate on staring at the front of the enemy to judge Zhao Yun's intentions and intercept them in advance.

But soon, the elite seemed to be tired of this game. After a loud whistle, he watched the cavalry spin around and lay on his flank.
