Although the Wancheng cavalry cannot be compared with the Yunlong Xun cavalry, its strength is not comparable to that of ordinary armies.

This Wancheng cavalry was trained by Zhang Ji when he followed Dong Zhuo, and was also part of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

It’s just that this cavalry is all composed of Han Chinese, and there is not a single foreign race in it.

Because of this, this cavalry was often squeezed out by other Western Liang Iron Horsemen.

After all, the vast majority of the Xiliang Iron Riders were formed by foreign races.

Since Dong Zhuo’s death, Zhang Ji wandered around with this army, eventually escaping to Jingzhou and occupying Wancheng.

When Liu Biao sent troops to attack Wancheng, Zhang Ji was killed in battle, and this army was handed over to Zhang Xiu.

After taking control of this cavalry, Zhang Xiu let them remove the heavy armor on their bodies and changed from heavy cavalry to light cavalry.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu also taught them their own simple marksmanship moves, and the strength of this cavalry was even greater than before.

Later, a mysterious adviser appeared, persuaded Zhang Xiu to defect to Cao Cao, and after joining forces with Cao Cao to destroy Liu Biao, he was made Nanyang Taishou by Cao Cao.

Of course, Zhang Xiu could only manage the territory east of the Shu-Wei dividing line.

“Kill!”

The spear in Zhang Xiu’s hand trembled, and the pear flowers fluttered, bringing a rain of blood.

Although the Rainstorm Pear Flower Spear is not as powerful as the Hundred Birds Phoenix Gun, it is more suitable for group attacks, especially battlefield killing, than the Hundred Birds Phoenix Gun.

This set of marksmanship was born for the battlefield.

Zhang Xiu took the lead, and with 30,000 Wancheng cavalry, he carved a bloody road out of the Wei infantry and flew away.

“Chase!”

How could the leader of the infantry of the Wei army let the merit in his hands leave, and chased after the army with great force.

However, a group of infantry, how can the speed be compared with the cavalry.

However, it was said that Zhao Yun took Yunlong Xun to ride first, and after several days, he returned to Luyang again.

At this time, Luyang City shouted to kill Zhengtian, and Henan Yin’s army was still attacking Luyang.

However, with Cheng Yu’s advice, they have not yet climbed the city wall of Luyang.

Zhao Yun did not detour back to the north gate, but directly rode to the south gate of Luyang City with 50,000 Yunlong Xun.

The north gate is being attacked by Henan Yin’s army, and Cheng Yu must have set up a heavy ambush there, even if Zhao Yun rides with Yunlong Xun, I am afraid it will be too much help.

Instead of this, it is better to attack the south gate directly, catch Cheng Yu by surprise, distract him, and create opportunities for the army outside the north gate.

Zhao Yun was very sure that with the degree of jealousy that Yunlong Xun rode in the hearts of Shu and Wei, Cheng Yu would definitely not ignore it.

As long as he makes a move, the north gate will definitely show flaws.

As Zhao Yun expected, after getting the news brought by the spies, Cheng Yu’s brows furrowed.

“The Dragon God General Zhao Yun is back, did the Great General succeed or fail?”

This doubt, Cheng Yu is temporarily unknown.

Zhao Yun originally went to pursue Xiahou Wei’s army, but now that they have returned, there are only two possibilities.

One was that the Wei army had annihilated the rebel Zhang Xiu, and Zhao Yun saw no hope of salvation, so he simply returned to join forces with the army of the Longhan Empire to attack Luyang.

One was that Zhao Yun intercepted the Wei army, defeated it, joined Zhang Xiu, and returned with the army.

Although there was no shadow of Zhang Xiu’s army in the intelligence, it could not be ruled out that Zhao Yun rushed back first with Yunlong Xun.

Therefore, Cheng Yu did not know which possibility it was.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, “Send 20,000 troops from the east gate and the west gate to the south gate, and be sure to block the attack of the Yunlong Xunqi. ”

The cavalry siege was originally a joke.

But for the cavalry of the Longhan Empire, especially the ace cavalry, this is not impossible.

In past battles, the ace cavalry of the Longhan Empire attacked the city and successfully broke the city.

In this regard, Cheng Yu had to guard against it.

But the strength of the North Gate is obviously not movable, otherwise it will give the army of Henan Yin of the Longhan Empire outside the North Gate an opportunity.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Yu could only mobilize the defense of the east and west gates to the south gate.

Xiahou Wei left him 200,000 troops, plus the original defenders of Luyang City, a total of about 260,000 troops.

The north gate was to resist the attack of Henan Yin’s army, and was defended by Cheng Yu with 140,000 troops.

The remaining three gates were defended by 40,000 troops each.

Forty thousand troops, defending the attack of fifty thousand Yunlong Xun cavalry, even if this is a siege battle, Cheng Yu is not very relieved in his heart.

Together with the 40,000 troops transferred from the east gate and west gate, a total of eighty thousand troops, it should not be a problem to prevent the attack of the Yunlong Xun Cavalry.

Now what Cheng Yu can do is to hold Luyang for as long as possible and wait for the support of the Wei Kingdom.

A few days later, Zhang Xiu arrived with 30,000 Wancheng cavalry and joined Zhao Yun at the south gate.

“Senior brother, why are there only cavalry?”

Zhao Yun asked with a frown.

Zhang Xiu smiled: “I was afraid of delaying time, so I came first with the cavalry, and the infantry escorted the prisoners behind.”

By the way, when I came, I also encountered tens of thousands of Wei State infantry halfway and fought a battle, which was a little slower. ”

“Wei State infantry?”

Zhao Yun’s eyes flashed and said, “Senior brother, let’s leave here first.” ”

“Where to?” Zhang Xiu asked suspiciously.

“Go and ambush that Wei State infantry, whether they can break Luyang is on them.”

Zhao Yun showed a confident smile on his face and galloped away with Yunlong Xun.

Although Zhang Xiu was a little puzzled, he quickly followed with the Wancheng cavalry.

Their departure was naturally concealed, and he was also very puzzled by this.

Since Zhang Xiu appeared, shouldn’t he launch a more violent attack? Why did it suddenly leave.

“Closely monitor everything outside the south gate, and report any wind and grass immediately!”

Cheng Yu didn’t understand, but he always felt that Zhao Yun had a conspiracy.

“Yes, my lord.”

The spies quickly left.

Outside the south gate, Zhao Yun led Yunlong Xun Cavalry and Zhang Xiu’s Wancheng Cavalry to shoot an ambush around a hillside a few miles south of Luyang City.

After waiting for more than two days, the Wei infantry finally arrived belatedly.

“Kill!”

Zhao Yun shouted loudly and rode out with Yunlong Xun, followed closely by Zhang Xiu with the Wancheng cavalry.

With a total of close to eighty thousand cavalry and less than fifty thousand infantry in ambush, the outcome of this battle was already doomed from the beginning.

After encountering an ambush, the infantry leader’s face also changed greatly, and then said in a deep voice: “The front is Luyang City, quickly break out and ask Luyang City for help.” ”
