Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 22

Seeing the team rushing several miles away, with Yuan Xi leading the way, Zhao Yun felt mixed feelings.

Are you really here to take care of yourself?

Zhao Yun is not a fool, how could he not know that Yuan Xi's bet seems to be beneficial to him, but there is nothing in the world to take advantage of, and he will definitely make himself pay the corresponding price.

But when Zhao Yun learned that the Xiongnu rogues, who plundered from the hinterland of the Central Plains and poisoned the people, agreed.

Not for anything else, just for the aspirations of killing all enemies and pacifying the world that exists in the chest.

Now that he ended up being chased and killed by Bai Ma Yicong, Zhao Yun didn't see any regrets, but it was unexpected for Yuan Xi to come to rescue him.

I am an unknown person, and the other party's family's children, why do I value myself so much?

However, when Zhao Yun saw clearly the people brought by Yuan Xi, he felt bad all of a sudden.

Except for a dozen heavy cavalry and dozens of bow cavalry, the remaining hundreds of people are all infantry!
Moreover, these people were all sitting in a group of nearly a hundred donkey carts and mule carts. Zhao Yun had never seen such a marching team!

At that time, mules and donkeys were used to pull food and grass, and infantry marched lightly on foot. How could they sit directly on the cart like this?
And almost all infantry, how can they deal with Baima Yicong who is all cavalry?

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "There are hundreds of Bai Ma Yi behind me, be careful!"

Yuan Xi heard it from a distance, picked up the binoculars to see the situation clearly, and found that Bai Ma Yicong had chased seven or eight miles behind Zhao Yun's team, and it only took less than half a quarter of an hour to break into his team.

Moreover, the opponent's calculations were very accurate, and they only waited for Zhao Yun's team to join up with his supporting team, and when there was chaos, they would rush in again!
In normal times, this place is located on a plain, and the cavalry hastily engaged in battle, and these infantry could not please them.

But that's normal.

Now is the time to test the combat capability of this animal-powered mechanized unit!

Because all his pawns came here in armor, their physical strength was at its peak, and they were ready to fight at any time!
This is not his first creation. In the Han Dynasty, and even during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, there was a precedent of heavy infantry chasing cavalry on horseback.

He said to Qu Yi beside him, "Brother Qu is here."

After hearing this, Qu Yi laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll let you see, I haven't lost the prestige of the past!"

He shouted loudly: "Get out of the car and line up!"

After hearing this, hundreds of infantry jumped out of the donkey cart and took up positions behind the cart. They took out their shields to cover their bodies, so that the enemy could not see clearly what was behind the shield.

The heavy cavalry and light cavalry were arranged by Qu Yi to the flanks. The number of these dozens of cavalry was too small, and their strength could not crush the fully armored Baima Yicong.

Zhao Yun led a hundred subordinates, and suddenly gave an order to speed up, bypassing Yuan Xi's army formation, and reached the rear ahead of time.

Yuan Xi greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "It's really a great luck to finally wait for Brother Zhao."

Zhao Yun was moved, and said: "The opponent has a large number of people, I'm afraid they are not strong enough to fight against them, so please be careful, General."

"It is necessary for Zhao Yun to charge up to defend, and the general asks for orders."

After Yuan Xi heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhao ran for tens of miles, and the men were exhausted, so please rest for a while, and it won't be too late to see the situation."

Zhao Yun had no choice but to agree, thinking that if the battle here was overwhelmed, it would be too late for him to rest, right?

With the sound of hooves, hundreds of white horses rushed forward, and the leading general was also a powerful subordinate of Gongsun Zan.

He saw Yuan Xi's formation from a distance, with donkeys, carts, mules and workshops scattered in front of the formation, with swords and shields at the back, and cavalry on both wings waiting for an opportunity.

His mind turned sharply, and he made a decision in an instant, and shouted: "Ping 槊, go to the battle!"

Hundreds of white horses Yicong let out a loud roar, and they all lifted up the horses hanging on the saddle, and the cold light flickered for a moment, which made people tremble with fear.

All of a sudden, hundreds of cavalry rushed towards Yuan Xizhong's army!

The decision of this collar can be said to be the optimal solution at this time.

They have chased Zhao Yun for dozens of miles, stopping and stopping in the middle, not chasing desperately, just to preserve the strength of the horses under their crotches.

But even so, the horse's physical strength is very low. If it turns around at this time, it will inevitably be chased by dozens of cavalry from the opponent, and it will fall into a passive position.

That being the case, it's better to use the remaining physical strength of the horse to crush the infantry-based army formation on the opposite side!
Although the opponent has set up a car formation, but it is located on a plain, and the gaps between the cars are quite large, enough for our side to break in!
Hundreds of white horses gradually accelerated, and the horseshoes stepped on the ground, making an orderly and dull echo. The several-foot-long horse spears reflected dazzling light in the sun, like a silver dragon, rushing towards Yuan Xi's main formation!
Many shield-bearing soldiers on Yuan Xi's side saw this scene through the gaps in the shields, and couldn't help but tremble and let out exclamations.

Seeing this, Qu Yi secretly shook his head in his heart. These people are all soldiers he trained in the past two years. Although they have been on the battlefield many times, they have never faced the scene of the opponent's cavalry rushing collectively. It is expected that they will be shaken. .

The dead soldiers he led before were much stronger than this group of people now. Those people were all Liangzhou veterans, and they could keep their faces unchanged when facing the enemy cavalry who were close at hand.

However, those dead men who followed him should never see him again.

Thinking of this, Qu Yi roared, "I am at the front!"

"I will live and die with you all!"

"Promise to advance and not to retreat!"

The soldiers who were still shivering heard this, and their courage burst forth, and they all shouted: "No!"

Gongsun Zan's generals held their horses straight, took the lead, and had already raised the speed of the horses under their crotches to the maximum.

He had a stirrup on his left foot, and his right foot rested on the saddle. At this time, all the cavalry had single stirrups, and they were mostly used for mounting horses. However, the experienced Baima Yi knew that the stirrups were very helpful for horseback assaults. Although there were Takahashi saddles to fix them The body, but the two cooperate to exert strength.

This is the basis for Baima Yicong to cross the Northland!
Seeing that the opponent's army is getting closer and closer, 150 steps, [-] steps, [-] steps, [-] steps!

He suddenly began to feel a little uneasy, why is the other party still squatting behind the carriage?
carriage
Shield
hide
冲阵
Thirty steps!
He vaguely felt that he had seen this situation before?

Qu Yi roared, "First row, get up!"

Suddenly, behind the carriage, a neat row of soldiers stood up in unison, all holding crossbows in their hands!

"put!"

Fifty or sixty crossbow arrows shot at Baima Yicong like raindrops in an instant!

The next moment, the first dozen or so white horse Yicong turned their backs on their backs and rolled on the ground. Some of the horses behind were tripped, and some were forced to slow down and go around.

"Second row, get up!"

The crossbowmen in the second row stood up in unison, and the crossbowmen in the first row quickly squatted down and reloaded their arrows.

"put!"

Another twenty or so horses fell to the ground.

As a result, the momentum of the 200-odd riders behind was completely blocked, and they were forced to bypass to both sides, and the formation was completely disorganized.

"First row, get up!"

The leading general Gongsun Zan's horse was also shot down, he rolled to the ground, stood up quickly, and finally remembered what was going on in this familiar scene!
Battle of the Boundary Bridge!

At the same time, he narrowly escaped death, and his memory is still fresh, but today he was still lured into a trap by the other party!
If the situation was exactly the same as when the formation was set up for the first battle at Jieqiao, he could still wake up earlier, but Qu Yi made a slight change, confusing the opponent,

Get out of the car formation first, so that Gongsun Zan's generals will think that they are simply using cars to block them.

Later, two rows of crossbowmen were used to fire in turn, which shortened the interval between crossbows and arrows. Although the damage did not increase, the speed of the horses was greatly slowed down!

Gongsun Zan's general yelled, "Keep going, don't stop!"

He held the crossbow and arrows, and took the lead to run with his horse straight. The arrows shot into the armor and were embedded between his flesh and armor, but his running speed became faster and faster.

Seeing that he was approaching the formation of chariots, the opponent's crossbow was useless, but the next moment his eyes widened.

The sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side, as well as the crossbowmen who threw away their long crossbows and raised their ring-headed swords, led by a bearded man, rushed forward with shouts, and were going to face to face with Bai Mayi!
