Zhang He threw the information on the desk and cursed Ma Yan for being confused.
The White Horse is an empty city. Ma Yan and Zhao Yun want to compare time and speed. Isn't this a joke? When I was in Yuzhou, I had never seen the speed of Jingzhou cavalry. They were one man and two horses!
What will happen if the infantry cannot reach the city in time and meets the cavalry in the wilderness?
"Ma Yan is finished!" Zhang He shook his head. He no longer considered Ma Yan's problem, but was thinking about what he should do?
Staying in Chenliu, waiting for the lord¡¯s army to retake Yanzhou, but will this day come? If Yanzhou cannot take it back, he will be trapped to death.
But if the lord Cao Cao blames him for abandoning the city, he will definitely have his head chopped off, because he is a surrendered general! Although the lord valued him very much, he understood that it was because there were really not many generals available in the lord Cao Cao's account.
"what to do?"
"Report to the general, General Cao Hong has sent a letter!" A soldier rushed in and took out a letter.
Zhang He took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. His brows were furrowed at first, but soon they relaxed.
"This Cao Zilian is really good at it!" Zhang He dropped the letter and immediately ordered his lieutenants to assemble their troops and prepare to leave the city.
It turns out that Cao Hong said in the letter that the Han army came to attack Yanzhou and he would lead his troops to guard Yanjin.
Cao Hong is well-known as a lucky general. No matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how miserable the defeat, he can escape unscathed. Unlike Cao Ren, who was so good at fighting, he lost his life in Nanyang.
Guarding at Yanjin, Zhang He naturally understood that if the Han army came to attack, he would retreat across the Yellow River to confront them. Anyway, the purpose of the Han army this time was to occupy Yanzhou. It was impossible to cross the Yellow River and then attack Jizhou.
It seems that this Cao Hong is not only lucky, but also has a unique vision. Zhang He naturally wanted to follow suit. Yanjin is so important, isn't Guandu important? I will defend Guandu. Yanzhou cannot be defended anyway, and everyone knows this. Being able to block the Han army in Guandu cannot be said to be without merit!
Because the Han army is going to attack Baima, the next step must be to occupy Yanjin and Guandu.
Soon, Zhang He organized the troops and horses in the city, took enough food and grass, and quickly withdrew to Guandu.
Ma Yan led five thousand soldiers and horses and ran wildly all the way! He didn't insist on hitting the stone with an egg, because there was still a chance of survival, and that was to occupy the White Horse first.
Ma Yan is very familiar with Baima City. When he was still under Yuan Shao's command, he and Yan Liang were guarding here. Later, Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu, Yuan's army was defeated, the white horse was lost, and Ma Yan was captured and surrendered.
Finally getting close, Ma Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a tremor in the earth.
Ma Yan was shocked. How could the Han cavalry run so fast?
"General, they are cavalry cavalry Han cavalry of the Han army" a military commander shouted in a trembling voice.
"Quick, get in formation!" Ma Yan yelled, who couldn't tell that they were cavalry? Is this still necessary to report?
Five thousand soldiers and horses hurriedly formed a square formation, placed shields around them, and the crossbowmen hid behind the shields.
Soon, Han cavalry figures appeared from all directions, and the whole earth shook. The shield bearer's palms were all sweaty, and the crossbowman's arrows couldn't hit the string.
"Hurry up and fire your arrows!" Ma Yan shouted when he saw the approaching Han army.
The cavalry charge is different from the infantry charge. The cavalry is too fast and must release arrows in advance. You cannot wait until the cavalry rushes into the range, otherwise they will be there in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, arrows from the Han cavalry came over. Although they had shield bearers, many people were still shot to death.
Ma Yan was shocked. He was from the north. He had seen cavalry fighting before, but he had never seen soldiers with such strong cavalry and shooting abilities. They were all at the level of a captain!
After a round of arrows, there was a spear that was more powerful than the arrows. The wooden shield in front was directly penetrated, and the soldiers quickly fell to the ground.
"Block!" Ma Yan shouted, which was completely beyond his expectation.
However, at this time, the cavalry has already rushed into the formation. How can they stop it with their flesh and blood bodies?
At this moment, the formation was in chaos, and the Wei soldiers screamed and fled in all directions.
Ma Yan took a look and knew that he had been completely defeated in this battle. In front of the cavalry, it was impossible to escape. So he urged his horse to dance with his spear, led hundreds of personal guards, and rushed towards the Han army's cavalry.
Seeing the general rushing towards the enemy's cavalry, these soldiers, who had lost all morale, were filled with fighting spirit in an instant. They followed Ma Yan and charged head-on with the cavalry.
However, after all, it was an egg against a stone. After Ma Yan killed several Han cavalry soldiers, he was surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry and hacked to death with random swords.
Although those soldiers were very powerful among the Wei army, in front of the Han army's cavalry, there was no one enemy at all, and they were all killed like melons and vegetables.
"As soon as Ma Yan dies, surrender and don't kill him!" Xiahoulan, the commander of the Han army's cavalry, shouted loudly.
"Surrender without killing!" The Han soldiers immediately stopped killing and shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the wilderness.
After a burst of smoke and dust cleared, the battlefield unexpectedly became quiet. Only half of the Wei soldiers were seen kneeling on the ground except for half of their corpses.
The general is dead. Naturally, two legs cannot outrun a four-legged war horse. Who doesn¡¯t want to live at this time?
??
Half an hour later, Xiahoulan returned to Baima City with the prisoners in custody.
"Zilong, this Wei army is too weak to fight without a fight! They were defeated before they even charged into battle!" Xia Houlan said happily when he saw Zhao Yun.
"Five thousand cavalry versus five thousand infantry, and our weapons are superior, how can we not win. But don't be careless in future battles, otherwise you will be ashamed of your lord!" Zhao Yun said.
"Yes!" Xia Houlan nodded, "My lord's investment in cavalry is much greater than Gongsun Zan's investment in Baima Yicon back then!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yun also thought of the White Horse Yi Cong, an iron cavalry that made foreigners fearful and had made great military exploits. But later, Gongsun Zan deducted military pay and did not replenish war horses and recruits, resulting in a significant decline in combat effectiveness. Otherwise, how could they lose to Qu Yi and Zhang He's Euphorbia warriors?
"Zilong, Zhang He is too cunning. Not only did he retreat to Guandu, but he also retreated across the Yellow River. Otherwise, we would have avenged ourselves."
"No, we have no personal grudge against Zhang He!" Zhao Yun exuded a strong murderous aura, "But we must defeat him, no matter where he retreats!"
