The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Although Xia Houyuan gave the order to retreat, it was quite difficult for more than [-] cavalry to break through in front of tens of thousands of troops.

Everyone frantically whipped their horsewhips and fled to the rear.

The cavalry tried their best to escape very fast, at least Gao Lan's infantry couldn't stop them.

Now I can only rely on Wangmen's cavalry team. After hearing Wangmen's order, thousands of cavalry immediately chased after them.

Although Yuan Jun's cavalry has suffered losses since the war, the overall number is still around [-], which is ten times that of the opponent.

Even if Cao Jun's cavalry is strangely powerful, it's impossible to do anything against the sky in the face of such a disparity in proportion.

Wangmen can be said to have lost face today, and now he can only hope to wipe out the other party in order to save his own face a little bit.

Wangmen's face was ferocious at this time, looking at his expression, it seemed as if he wished that his head could become hundreds of times bigger, and then swallow all the four hundred cavalrymen in one gulp.

The [-] Yuan Jun knights pursued with all their strength, not willing to give Cao Jun cavalry a chance to widen the distance.

Although Cao Jun's cavalry is equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, the quality of the horses in the Central Plains is indeed inferior to that in the North.Although Cao Jun's cavalry broke through the siege and fled, they still could not escape the fierce pursuit of Yuan Jun's cavalry.

However, looking at Yuan Jun's cavalry closely behind, Xia Houyuan did not show any panic, but a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth.

The scene that happened next was like a nightmare for Yuan Shaofang and everyone present.

More than [-] cavalrymen of Cao Jun put away their weapons all at once, but bent their bows and set arrows, then turned around and shot the arrows in their hands at the knights of Yuan Jun who were closely behind them, only a short distance away from them.

Riding and shooting!

How can it be!

How can the cavalry in the Central Plains know how to ride and shoot!

Wang Men's face turned green all of a sudden, then turned from green to purple, and then from purple to white.

Could it be that this cavalry team was paid a lot of money by Cao Cao, and all the Huns or Xianbei were invited to serve as knights?

Otherwise, it is impossible to practice riding and shooting.

If it is a strong general, it is nothing to practice the skill of riding and shooting, but the problem is that all of the more than [-] cavalrymen of Cao Jun in front of him can do it.

Wang Men only felt that he was dizzy and didn't know what to do.

The difficulty of riding and archery training is not ordinary, that is, foreign races such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei outside the Great Wall have lived on horseback since they were young. After more than ten or twenty years of painstaking research, they can gather a few troops with excellent riding and archery capabilities. .

As for the knights in the Central Plains, even if they want to practice riding and archery, they don't have the conditions.

However, the fact in front of us was that the knights in front of Yuan Jun's cavalry were shot by arrows one after another, fell to the ground and died.

The cavalry in the rear couldn't stop the horse's progress in an instant because of the knight's fall in front, they could only continue to charge forward.The cavalrymen who fell from their horses were directly shot to death by arrows. On the contrary, more people were trampled to death by the horses driven by Hou Fang's own robe Ze's crotch.

Mounting and archery is indeed difficult to practice, because both hands are used when bending the bow and setting the arrow, and it is impossible to free up the hands to control the horse, and it is difficult to maintain the body balance on the horse's back.Especially when these Cao Jun knights had to turn around before, their bodies were more prone to instability.However, the emergence of bilateral stirrups has changed all this. Knights can still use the force of the stirrups to keep their body center of gravity from tilting to the greatest extent when bowing their bows and setting arrows, which makes the skill of riding and archery much less difficult. .

In Yuan Jun's cavalry formation, the knights in front of them fell to the ground one after another. Although there were not many of them, less than a hundred, their falling horses hindered the speed of all the cavalry after all.Seeing that the distance between himself and Cao Jun's hundreds of knights was gradually widening, it was obvious that he could not catch up.

Xia Houyuan led the remaining [-] cavalrymen of Cao Jun, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and finally successfully escaped from the battlefield and escaped.

Seeing this, Wangmen was very anxious, if he let these people escape like this, he might be blamed by Yuan Shao.In a panic, Wangmen raised his head to the sky and spat out a bloody arrow, then fell straight to the ground.

Yuan Shao stared blankly at the direction in which hundreds of cavalry cavalrymen of Cao's army were going away. His own army of more than [-] troops failed to keep the opponent in the end. It was a great shame, a great shame!

The depression and anger in Yuan Shao's heart is no less than when he heard the news of Yan Liang and Wen Chou's death a few days ago.

However, Yuan Shao was also very surprised by the cavalry and archery skills shown by Cao Jun's knights.

After surprise, comes resentment.

"Cao Aman's Central Plains cavalry can display such cavalry and archery skills. Why can't our northern cavalry have this ability? Although cavalry and archery are difficult, no matter what skill, hard work and tireless practice will eventually pay off. Our northern cavalry won this battle The performance is far inferior to the Central Plains cavalry, it must be because of the lack of ability of these two idiots, Guo Yuan and Wang Men!"

In his heart, his soldiers are definitely not inferior to Cao Cao's, especially the cavalry, the quality is even less likely to be inferior to the opponent's.

Since it is not a problem with the soldiers, it is obviously that the generals who command the troops are incompetent.

Poor Wangmen, I don't know how he would feel if he knew Yuan Shao's thoughts just now.

Although Guo Yuan and Wang Men are not famous generals, they are by no means mediocre.Guo Yuan had already performed well in history, but he was defeated by Zhong Yao's plan.Gongsun Zan was the first official of the Wang family, and Yuan Shao was the latter. Both were in charge of commanding the cavalry, not to mention their level, at least in terms of experience, they were absolutely indispensable.

No matter how you say it, Guo Yuan and Wang Men may indeed have some deficiencies in ability, but they will definitely not be included in the ranks of incompetent generals.

It's a pity that in Yuan Shao's heart at this moment, these two people are worthless, especially one of them died fighting for Yuan Shao.

As for the rest of Yuan Jun's generals and counselors present, they all fell into the shock that Cao Jun's cavalry and shooting had just brought to them.

Gao Lan rubbed his chin with an incredulous expression.

It turned out to be riding and shooting, and the cavalry in the Central Plains would have the ability to ride and shoot.

What a horrible thing!

There were only four hundred cavalry just now, what if four thousand cavalry?What about [-] rides?

It's scary to think about it, ten thousand cavalry who can use cavalry and archery, even if they are placed on the northern grasslands, they are probably invincible.

If these thousand cavalry showed the strength of cavalry and shooting as soon as they showed up, then the self-armed cavalry would definitely lose more.

But this is not surprising. Although Cao Jun's cavalry can ride and shoot, there are only a thousand of them after all. If they use riding and shooting from the beginning, although it will cause great damage to Yuan Jun, Yuan Jun will definitely respond accordingly The way to deal with it is that it will be difficult to want such a smooth retreat when retreating.As one of the four court pillars in Hebei, Gao Lan quickly figured out the key.

It is absolutely necessary to completely wipe out Cao Cao's power in this battle, and we must not continue to give him a big chance.

This is Gao Lan's idea, and it is also the idea of ​​everyone in Yuan Junzhong.

"Heh, although Cao's army was defeated, it was well-founded to advance and retreat, and it didn't hurt the root cause. It's even more surprising that its cavalry can ride and shoot. It seems that the next battle will be quite interesting." In Yuan Jun's formation, a group The square-faced general was looking at the direction Cao Jun was retreating in, thinking with a smile.

This person is the most famous one among the four court pillars in Hebei——Zhang He, Zhang Junyi.
