Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Runan County, Pingyu County, the fighting has been very fierce.

Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops continued to attack the city. After more than a month, the effect has gradually begun to show.

More than two-thirds of the [-] defenders who are full of favors have already been killed. Now the defenders on the top of the city are basically the guards of the aristocratic families in the city, the local braves, and even the prisoners in the prison. out of the battlefield.

But even so, when the defense supplies were exhausted, the defense of Pingyu City became more and more difficult.

Before dawn today, Zhou Yu began to send troops to attack the city again.

But when the siege battle was in full swing, suddenly a defeated army from the direction of Zhaoling City fled back and brought news of the arrival of Zhao Yun's troops to Zhou Yu.

The appearance of the dragon cavalry army led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, and the news that the three generals Ling Tong, Dong Xi, and Zhu Ran were captured caused some panic and worry among the other generals of the Jiangdong Army.

But Zhou Yu was still very calm, he said: "Everyone, the cavalry is not terrible; Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are nothing but brave men."

Zhou Yu's calm voice calmed down the generals in the large tent of the Chinese army quickly from their panic.

At this time, Lu Meng said: "The governor is right, in fact, Lu Yan has already told us how to deal with the cavalry!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "In order to deal with Cao Jun's cavalry, we have already prepared countless caltrops, large shields and long spears. Old General Cheng, Ziming, I will entrust you with the task of arranging fortifications!"

"The last general takes the order!" Cheng Pu and Lu Meng took the order with their hands clasped together.

Zhou Yu continued to order: "Chen Wu, Zhu Heng, Ding Feng, Zhu Yi!"

"The end is here!"

"Let you lead the army to continue to attack Pingyu County, and you must take Pingyu within today!"

When Zhao Yun led the Dragon Cavalry Army to the outside of Pingyu City, the Jiangdong Army had already climbed the city wall from all sides.

Li Tong, the only general in the city, has suffered more than a dozen wounds, but he is still fighting on the front line of the city wall, trying to defend Pingyu City with his last drop of blood.

Even Man Chong, the prefect of Runan, also went to the battlefield. He is now carrying a long sword that has been gapped, fighting on the front line with his personal guards.Although Man Chong studied literature, he was not a weak scholar, and he killed several enemies on the front line.

Just when Man Chong felt that he might not be able to survive today, suddenly a guard next to him shouted loudly: "Look, Fujun! They are our reinforcements!!!"

"It's the Dragon Riding Battalion! It's General Zhao Zilong coming!"

"General Zilong is here! We are saved!"

The appearance of Zhao Yun and the dragon cavalry army miraculously stabilized the precarious defense line of Pingyu City, and the morale of the soldiers and the people defending the city suddenly rose to the extreme.

The cavalry lined up [-] steps outside the Jiangdong Army's line, and at this time Xia Houlan, who had always been sharp-eyed, also noticed that the Jiangdong Army had formed a familiar formation.

"The shield soldiers are in the front, and the pikemen are in the rear. There are barbed wire and horse traps all over the front of the army formation, and there are even three layers of refusal horses on the flanks of the army formation." Xia Houlan clicked his tongue twice, and continued: "This The water bandits who came from the east of the river are actually pretty good at learning."

After Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and commented: "If they encounter wolf cavalry camps, Xiao cavalry camps, tiger and leopard cavalry, or even Iron Buddha, these defenses may still play a good role."

Xia Houlan laughed loudly when she heard the words: "Unfortunately, what they encountered was our Dragoon Army!"

Zhao Yun raised his gentian silver spear and shouted loudly: "Dragon Cavalry, let these Jiangdong people see what real riding is!"

"Dragon Cavalry, invincible!"

The slogan of the Dragoons sounded, and they took the lead in launching the attack!

"Boom!"

The sound of horseshoes was like a heavy drum, beating hard on the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers on the front line!
"Don't panic, hold on to me, be sure to hold on!!!"

Lu Meng rode a horse to patrol the army formation, and comforted the soldiers.

"Take the bow!"

"Ride and shoot!"

This time, Zhao Yun did not order the cavalry to use the Liannu, because although the Liannu is good, it has a defect of short killing range.
However, the opponent has set up a horse pit at a distance of one hundred steps, and the lethality of the crossbow arrows will drop sharply if it exceeds eighty steps. Therefore, it is better to use a longbow than a continuous crossbow now.

As a light cavalry built around the core of the White Horse Yi Cong, the Dragon Cavalry, riding and archery is their compulsory course and one of their iconic abilities.

Before saddles and stirrups appeared, riding and shooting had very high requirements on the rider's ability.It was also because of this that the number of dragon cavalry troops could not increase for a long time. The door frame of the dragon cavalry battalion was indeed a bit too high.

It's not that Lu Yan doesn't want to take out the three treasures of the horse.

Just because saddles, stirrups and horseshoes are too easy to imitate, and the cavalry of the enemy and the grassland people in the past is much more than that of Lao Cao, taking them out too early is tantamount to improving the strength of others and making it more difficult for himself. Have been hiding them in the snow.

However, with the destruction of Yuan Shao, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, these things that can greatly enhance the strength of the cavalry should not be far away from their appearance.

The dragon cavalry charged towards the army commanded by Lu Meng!

Lu Meng was nervous but also a little excited, he thought to himself: "If I can defeat the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, then I, Lu Meng, will become famous in one fell swoop, and the world will know it!!" He even thought of stepping on Zhao Yun's success to become famous!
There are 110 steps left!

The soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry Army suddenly turned their heads and galloped away in another direction when they were only 110 steps away from the large shield formation of the Jiangdong Army!

At the moment when they turned their heads, they stretched their bows and arrows and threw the spiked arrows in their hands into the Jiangdong Army's formation!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

"what!"

When Lu Meng saw the black arrows coming from the sky, he immediately jumped off his horse and hid under the big shield of his personal guards.

The rain of arrows bypassed the large shield formation and fell from the sky, and there were screams and wailing in Lu Meng's army formation.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Hearing the sound of the arrow hitting the big shield above his head, Lu Meng couldn't help gnashing his teeth and cursed: "How cunning Zhao Yun!!!"

After running in an arc, the dragon cavalry army crossed the front of Lu Meng's army.

Then, they left the direction of the city wall, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Jiangdong soldiers who were attacking Pingyu City from another direction!
However, the Jiangdong Army is obviously ready.

Every time the dragon cavalry army came under a city wall, the Jiangdong army set up their formations. They also waited for the arrival of the dragon cavalry army with large shields, trapping horses in pits, and rejecting horses.

"The enemy's defense is very tight, what should we do?" Xia Houlan asked with a frown.

Neither Zhao Yun nor Xia Houlan was willing to risk the lives of the soldiers of the Dragon Riding Battalion.

Although they couldn't defeat the soldiers who attacked the city, at least they could prevent them from attacking the city with all their strength, which can be regarded as buying time for the Pingyu defenders.

After observing the situation, Zhao Yun said, "Contain the enemy first, and support where it is more critical."

There is no good way, Xia Houlan can only nod and said: "That's the only way, let's take a step and see."
