I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145 Xiliang iron cavalry, so terrifying?
"Report, there is no abnormality in the [-] miles ahead." At dawn, the scouts who explored the road ahead returned to report.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and said, "Change your horse and explore another fifty li!"

"Here!" The five scouts got off their horses to eat, and five more horsemen galloped westward.

Xia Houyuan was a little impatient, and said: "Brother, yesterday you were cautious, and today you are even more sluggish. Soldiers are very fast. If I delay like this, Dong Bandit will know about the surprise attack on Xingyang!"

Cao Cao looked at the Bianshui in front of him, and said solemnly: "Crossing the river is an important matter for military strategists, and it should not be taken lightly. There is a saying that 'soldiers can be attacked halfway across the river'. Attack, doesn’t it make the sky not respond and the earth not work?”

"That's right, especially on this trip we have a lot of luggage. If you don't check the road carefully, once you encounter Dong's bandits, everything will be over!" Xia Houdun nodded in agreement, agreeing with Cao Cao's point of view.

At this time on Guangwu Mountain, Shi A, who was crouching in the soil, couldn't help asking Lu Bu beside him, "Lieutenant, why don't they cross the river?"

"Afraid of being attacked by me."

Lu Bu didn't sleep well last night, feeling a little irritable, and said disdainfully: "This Cao Aman is considered cautious, but it's a pity that Dad already knows the terrain well, and even the place where we set up an ambush has been chosen."

"No matter how many scouts he used to explore the way, he has limited energy during the march. He will only explore the area in front of him. Generally, he will only explore three to five miles on the flanks, and no more than ten miles at most."

"I am going to lie in ambush on the mountain fifteen miles from their flanks ahead of time, and the scouts will not be able to find them at all. When they are about to finish crossing the river, if I rush out again, the enemy will be caught off guard!"

"Lieutenant, look, they finally started to cross the river!" After listening to Shi A, he looked at the movement below the mountain, and immediately became excited.

"Okay, go to Guanzhong and inform Wenyuan, ready to launch an attack."

Seeing this, Lu Bu retreated slowly, then got up and said, "I want to go back and prepare my army horses, and attack Wen Yuan back and forth, killing them all... Uh, according to my father's request, I want to go straight to Huanglong and kill him seven times. out."

"The most important thing is to capture those thieves alive!"

It was early spring, and the Bianshui river was still shallow, and the footmen could not walk through the water to reach their waists, let alone the riders.

Cao Cao asked Bao Tao to lead his men to cross the river first to prevent accidents.After everything was safe, most of the troops, including Cao Cao and Bao Xin, led their troops across the river in a hurry.

The meandering team slowly crossed the Bian River and gradually gathered on the opposite river beach.

Seeing that most of the troops had already arrived, Bao Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and seeing Cao Cao approaching, he hurriedly asked, "Who else hasn't come?"

"All the soldiers under my command have come, only brother Zixu is left."

Looking around the terrain carefully, Cao Cao said again: "There are Guangwu Mountains in the north, Xingze in the south, and Bian River in the back. It's extremely dangerous and we can't stay here for a long time. We'll continue to move forward and gather our troops when we reach an open place."

Bao Xin nodded and said yes, and ordered the front team to set off.

Unexpectedly, after walking for half a mile, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound, and before everyone could react, the dozen or so Jibei soldiers in the front had been shot and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, everyone, someone puts it in the cold..."

Before Bao Xin could yell, he fell on his horse with an "Ah"—a armor-piercing cone flying from nowhere had already penetrated deeply into his right shoulder bone.

As a warrior, he acted decisively.

Grasping the shaft of the arrow with his left hand, he pushed down hard with his right hand, letting the half-foot-long shaft stay on his body: "The front is flat and inconvenient to ambush, and the enemy must be outnumbered. Brother Tao leads the troops forward, rush up and take it for me!" "

"Here!" Bao Tao heard his brother's order from a distance away, and immediately galloped up the hillside with his gun on his horse.Seeing this, the soldiers and horses behind him also rushed up.

At this time, a fatal loophole appeared!

Bao Xin's soldiers were recruited from Jibei, Cao Cao led Qiaoxian Township Yong recruited by the Xiahou brothers, Wei Zi led Chen Liujun, and Yang Yuanren Jun's soldiers were soldiers from various counties in Henan. The command is just that Cao Cao is appointed as the commander before sending troops.

At this moment, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were wading through the water, and they had not yet assembled and separated, and were in a state of disarray.Seeing the Jibei soldiers charging forward one after another, the soldiers at the back were full of fighting spirit, and followed them up the mountain in a daze.

Seeing that Wei Zi and Yang Yuan's soldiers rushed to the front, some of the troops kept up, some didn't, and the 2-man team stretched obliquely into a long snake. Cao Cao immediately felt bad: such a chaotic formation , Would it be easy for the enemy to be divided and slaughtered?

What's even more frightening is that the scouts sent out before reported that there was nothing unusual ahead!

In a flash of thought, he realized that things were not that simple, and he had fallen into a trap carefully set up by others. He immediately drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "Listen to my general order, quickly assemble and set up a car formation, and reject Horse, get ready to fight!"

As soon as the words fell, the rumbling sound reached the ears, and the whole ground began to vibrate.

Amidst the deafening sound of horseshoes, there was a cloud of dust flying in front of them.

A mass of black Xiliang cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of them, each holding iron baskets and longbows on their shoulders.The soldiers in the lead directly drew their bows and arrows on their horses, and the arrows sealed their throats!

"Here, this Xiliang iron cavalry is so terrifying?"

Cao Cao was a little dumbfounded: not everyone can master riding and archery skills even if they have lived on horseback since childhood, but Xiliang iron cavalry seems to be available to everyone!
A Jinbei soldier who was lucky enough to escape the rain of arrows saw the enemy rushing, and suddenly raised his ring head and wanted to strike.But soon, he became unlucky.

The Xiliang iron cavalry who fought with him didn't even use the iron box, and directly manipulated the horse to hit him in an instant.It didn't even have time to let out a scream, and then it turned into a pool of blood and mud under the rolling iron hooves.

"Brother Tao!" Seeing the imposing manner of the enemy army, Bao Xin's eyes were shattered instantly: Bao Tao was the first one to charge up, and he didn't even dare to think about the consequences at this moment.

Unexpectedly, amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, there was a response: "Brother, brother, run!... The bandits are fierce, we have fallen for it!"

Bao Xin looked carefully, and saw Yiqi standing firm on the hillside amidst the rolling iron stream.Behind him, Xiliang iron cavalry rushed forward, and a large flag with the word "Zhang" fluttered in the wind.

His poor younger brother was carried by the young general with one hand, and hung beside the horse's belly in a shameful posture.It should be that the two were captured instantly as soon as they fought.

"Shut up!" Zhang Liao hit Bao Tao on the back of the head with a spear, and handed it to a guard beside him: "Keep an eye on him, the Taiwei said, just break up and kill them in this battle. Let's catch them all!"

Then his eyes suddenly fixed on Bao Xin in front of him, and he couldn't help smiling.

The horse merged into the rolling iron stream, and galloped directly towards Bao Xin, determined to win: "Bao Yuncheng, hurry up and reunite with your brother!"

With the red cloak fluttering, Zhang Liao rushing down was like a silhouette, caught in Bao Xin's eyes: "Don't even think about it!... The victory or defeat is unknown, how dare you be so rampant!"

He really wanted to rush forward and fight Zhang Liao for [-] rounds, but neither the formation nor the timing allowed.

After shouting, I can only order my subordinates: "Quickly push out the vehicle, throw out Juma and Luzhai, as obstacles! Soldiers form an array, and spears are thrown out! Take shelter from the sharp edge! Look for an opportunity to fight again!"

With an order, the veterans of his subordinates moved quickly, and Yu Jinyitun reacted the fastest.It's a pity that there are too many recruits. Seeing the enemy's menacing approach, they were directly frightened and dumbfounded.

"Quick! Quick! Set up the formation! Quickly sprinkle the barbed wire...don't just sprinkle it under my feet!"

"Setting up the carts! Push the carts over here! Don't ask where the carts are!"

"Push the rejection horse quickly! Reject the horse! Reject the horse! Luzhai is also fine..."

Looking back at Cao Cao, I saw that Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Hong were indeed talented generals. Although they were also new recruits, thanks to daily rigorous drills, their actions were fast and orderly.

Wei Zi and Yang Yuan couldn't do it: Henan County soldiers hadn't practiced for a long time, and Ren Jun's trilogy had never experienced battle at all, and they were already in chaos.

It was even worse at Weiz's place. Three thousand Chenliu soldiers could not even gather together, which shows what kind of goods Zhang Miao gave.

"Thief general, come here if you have the guts!"

Bao Xin roared suddenly, and at this moment he was determined to die: as long as he waits for a while from the army to give the soldiers and horses behind him time to form a formation, this battle may not be without the slightest hope!

He is also a radical method.

Zhang Liao smiled, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.Picking up the horn and blowing twice quickly, what was originally a black torrent was about to rush into the front of Bao Xin's formation, and suddenly opened!

The [-] Xiliang cavalry, like splitting waves, bypassed the defensive formations of Bao Xin and Cao Cao, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and rushed straight to the rear of Yang Yuan and Wei Zi's tens of thousands of chaotic troops!

"Abandon the advantage of the cavalry's flexibility and erratic, to attack your defense line?"

Zhang Liao galloped past Bao Xin, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "I have no grievances with you, why do you think I'm a fool?"

"Stupid, idiot?..." Bao Xin didn't understand the meaning of this word, but he really felt that he was like a messy idiot in the wind.
