Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator
Chapter 294: Riding alone into battle
In order to satisfy the hunger of the soldiers and temporarily solve the serious food problem, Qiu Liju could only ruthlessly order the slaughter of a group of war horses for army food.
However, this also made Qiu Liju realize that he could no longer stay in Guangyang County and must return to Yuyang County as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous if, after the Han army that had attacked the camp by surprise slowed down, they would continue to pursue and kill the Wuhuan troops who had finally gathered together along the way.
Morale is low, armor is incomplete, there is a lack of horses, food is insufficient, and people from various tribes are even mixed with each other...
Qiu Liju saw all this in his eyes and knew that the strength of this defeated army of more than 30,000 was less than one-tenth of the usual strength, so he could only retreat to Yuyang County for rectification before making further plans.
What made Qiu Liju feel a little relieved was that all the troops you could use in Youzhou were infantry.
Everyone has two legs, so the probability of the Han army catching up is low.
However, in order to avoid accidents, Qiu Liju continued to urge the army to march back to Yuyang County.
However, unlike when they arrived with an army of 80,000, they seemed to have covered a hundred miles from Yuyang County to Jicheng in an instant.
Since the shortage of horses slowed down the marching speed, Qiu Liju felt that the return journey was so long.
However, when Qiu Liju led the defeated troops back to Shiyushui River in the direction they came from, he was a little dumbfounded.
When you come here, the water flow in this area is gentle, and you only need to ride a war horse to slowly wade across the water.
However, as if due to the impact of the heavy rain, the water surface surged by more than ten feet, making it difficult to lead the army across the river.
In desperation, Qiu Liju could only order the Wuhuan people to cut down trees in the surrounding areas and build floating bridges to cross the Shiyushui River as soon as possible.
The surface of the Shiyushui River in this section is not wide, otherwise Qiu Liju would not have chosen to cross the river here before.
Coupled with the mutual assistance of more than 30,000 Wuhuan people, even though the pontoon bridge seemed quite rough, it was barely built after spending half a day.
When Qiu Liju saw this, he was very happy.
As long as the army crosses the Shiyushui River, the safety of the more than 30,000 Wuhuan people can be guaranteed.
Even if the Han army came in pursuit from behind, Qiu Liju could rely on the pontoon to resist for a while, delaying it for half a day, which was enough for most of the Wuhuan people to retreat to Yuyang City.
……
At the same time, on a small hillside far away from the pontoon.
Zhao Yun led two thousand white horse soldiers who had just arrived. Looking at the situation on the Shiyushui River in the distance, his face looked a little ugly.
After Sun Ce sent all 20,000 cavalry to the port, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun received Li Ji's military order, and then rushed back towards Jicheng at full speed, trying to block the retreat of Qiu Liju and other Wuhuan people.
However, the storm with endless lightning and thunder also caused great disturbance to the Han cavalry. A large number of horses fell into a violent and frantic state, which was difficult to control at all.
In the end, Zhao Yun reluctantly selected two thousand horses from the army that were least affected, and then led his own "White Horse Yicon" to go ahead.
But despite hurrying and hurrying, Zhao Yun was still a little late after all.
It would take at least more than an hour for most of the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan to arrive, but the pontoon bridge in the distance had been built, and more than 30,000 Wuhuan people were about to slowly begin to cross the river.
It took more than an hour for all the more than 30,000 Wuhuan people to cross the river.
By then, the surging river water will become a chasm that is difficult for the cavalry to cross.
Zhao Yun's rationality is keeping Zhao Yun basically calm, telling Zhao Yun that it is difficult for Zhao Yun to withstand more than 30,000 Wuhuan troops crossing the river with only two thousand white horses.
But as Zhao Yun swept across the Great Wall, he witnessed the miserable Han people reduced to slaves one after another, and the anger accumulated in his heart exploded uncontrollably at this moment.
Zhao Yun's character and quality made it difficult for him to pour out his anger on the old, weak, women and children of Wuhuan.
But at this moment, looking at the more than 30,000 Wuhuan Qingzhuang in the distance, Zhao Yun not only did not have the slightest fear, but instead felt a blazing anger in his chest.
"How can we make the Han people escape intact if they plunder our land?"
Zhao Yun murmured something, holding the Yajiao gun in his hand tightly with his palm.
An idea that no one else dared to imagine, even if it was a hundred times bold, suddenly appeared in Zhao Yun's mind.
"Where is Baima Yicong?" Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.
"I'll wait here."
What responded to Zhao Yun were two thousand neat voices.
"The wild dogs killed our Han people, can we allow them to retreat?" Zhao Yun asked loudly.
"No!"
"Are you willing to kill Hu Dayi without fear of death?" Zhao Yun asked again.
This question made the two thousand white horse Yi Cong's expressions freeze, and then their faces seemed to become ferocious, and they roared in unison.
"Where righteousness comes, life and death follow it!" "The sky can be used as a guide, and the white horse... is the proof!!!"
This time the roar spread for miles, and even Qiu Liju and many Wuhuan people on the Shiyushui River could hear it clearly.
Then, countless Wuhuan people looked south and suddenly saw two thousand white figures rushing towards them.
"Where justice comes, life and death follow it!"
"The sky is a guide, and the white horse is the proof!"
As Baima Yicong repeated the passionate slogan again, he followed Zhao Yun and galloped down the hill on his war horse, completing the formation change in a very short period of time.
From a distance, it looks like Zhao Yun is charging forward with a pair of white wings spread out behind him.
This scene caused a large number of Wuhuan people to be stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
Immediately, quite a number of Wuhuan people who were carrying bows and arrows bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the white horse Yi Cong who was galloping from a distance with amazing momentum.
The distance between the two sides was quickly closing.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps...
The Wuhuan clan is also good at shooting and has great control over distance. Therefore, as the distance between the two sides narrowed, many Wuhuan people who were bending their bows and preparing arrows began to concentrate and prepare to wait for the sudden cavalry to enter Baidu. Start shooting again within a few steps.
However, when the distance between the two sides had just reached 120 steps, the two thousand white horse Yi Cong released their hands holding the reins almost uniformly, drew their bows, and then threw arrows in the direction of Wuhuan's army.
With the extra power provided by the horse's speed and the extra distance of the throw, the arrows shot by the two thousand white horse Yi Cong almost reached the level of the marksmen of this era who could pierce the arrow with a hundred steps.
Although the accurate head is very different from the sharpshooter, when the Wuhuan army is huddled together, the accurate head is of little significance.
The dark clouds raised by the arrows fell into the Wuhuan army, splashing large amounts of blood and letting out bursts of wailing.
However, before the Wuhuan archers who were waiting in formation were ready to counterattack, between the distance of 120 and 100 steps, the two thousand white horses not only completed the archery, but even used their legs to control the horses to land in unison. They turned towards the left and right sides of Wuhuan's army respectively.
It was as if there was an invisible line with the Wuhuan army as the center, about a hundred paces away. The two thousand white horse soldiers passed by the edge of the line in a graceful manner, just not entering the Wuhuan army. within a hundred steps.
This scene still arouses exclamation in the eyes of Wuhuan people who are skilled in equestrian skills.
There are as many Wuhuan people as crucian carp crossing the river who are masters of mounted archery, but those who can control the steering of a war horse with their legs during the process of mounted archery are less than one or two in ten.
But during the turning process, they can still maintain a complete formation, and there is no such elite among Wuhuan.
Just when many Wuhuan people were unconsciously amazed by the ability displayed by the white horse Yi Cong, they suddenly discovered that one person and one horse did not follow the turn, but came straight towards the direction of the Wuhuan army.
He has a white horse and a silver spear, his face is like a crown of jade, he is wearing a white robe and white armor, his face is humble, but he regards the 30,000 Wuhuan army in front of him as if it were nothing...
When many Wuhuan people saw this, they felt that this horse seemed to be exuding some kind of momentum from a distance, but instinctively thought that this was just one of the Baimayi who made a mistake in controlling the horse and rushed in.
He never thought that what Zhao Yun was thinking about was to charge into the Wuhuan army of more than 30,000 people riding alone.
Facing Zhao Yun, who was riding alone, some Wuhuan archers who had been preparing for the attack did not hesitate at all, and aimed at Zhao Yun's direction and fired arrows.
Suddenly, hundreds of arrows came towards Zhao Yun like an overwhelming force.
When Zhao Yun saw this, there was no trace of fear on his face. He was holding the reins in one hand and holding the Yajiao spear upside down in the other.
The next moment, the Yezhao Jade Lion, who seemed to be connected with Zhao Yun's mind, suddenly increased a lot in speed and rushed out to the side.
Originally, the speed of Yezhao Jade Lion was similar to that of the other good horses ridden by the White Horse Yi Cong. At this moment, it suddenly accelerated and almost turned into a white shadow. It even carried Zhao Yun and was instantly out of the coverage of most arrows. .
Even though there were only a dozen or so arrows left to rush towards Zhao Yun and the Yezhao Jade Lion, Zhao Yun easily deflected all of them away while waving the Yajiao Spear in his hand.
This scene was beyond the expectations of all Wuhuan people and made all Wuhuan people who witnessed this scene feel unbelievable.
With such speed, it is undoubtedly a thousand-mile horse among thousand-mile horses;
And the ease with which he deflected more than a dozen arrows showed that the attacker's force was beyond imagination.
However, before many Wuhuan archers could react, they drew their bows and shot arrows again.
Under the full speed of the Yezhao Jade Lion, dozens of steps were covered almost instantly.
The three or five Wuhuan people who stood in front of Zhao Yun with all their courage could not even see the shadow of the Yajiao gun in Zhao Yun's hand. They only felt a pain in their throats and weakened weakly.
The next moment, Yezhao Jade Lion stepped on the corpses of these three or five Wuhuan people and jumped with Zhao Yun on his back.
Standing in mid-air, facing the gazes of countless Wuhuan people, Zhao Yun pointed the spear in his hand toward Qiu Liju in the distance, and let out a roar full of anger.
"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan. On the order of my husband, I am here to take the life of this rascal like you!"
"Don't leave!!!" (End of this chapter)
