    White horse, in Zhao Yun's camp.

    Zhao Yun walked around in the handsome tent, with a nervous expression on his face.

    Xia Houlan stood next to Shuai An, also looking serious.

    The scouts sent intelligence, and Li Dian suddenly led an army of 20,000, together with Zhang He and Cao Hong, to surround Xian Yufu and Yan Xing in Yanjin.

    Yan Xing only has 10,000 troops and is surrounded by an army of 40,000. It must be very dangerous now.

    At the same time, a battle also broke out in Guandu, and Cao Cao pressed forward with his army.  Although the white horse has not yet come out to the Wei army, Zhao Yun does not dare to be careless.

    "Xiahoulan, I will leave you five thousand soldiers and horses to guard Baima. I will lead an army of ten thousand to help Yanjin!" Zhao Yun said suddenly.

    "Zilong, the scouts have found out that Cao Cao has built 20,000 new cavalry, but I don't know where they are hidden. I think he must be preparing to deal with us!" Xia Houlan was full of worry.

    "What's the fear of 20,000 cavalry?" Zhao Yun exuded a strong murderous aura. "Since Cao Cao's cavalry is coming for us, then I will have a decisive battle with them! When faced with the Xianbei cavalry, which time  The number of enemy troops is not twice that of ours, or even more. What's more, Cao's cavalry has only been built recently, while ours are veterans of hundreds of battles!"

    "Zilong, you have to be more careful!" Zhao Yun's words made Xia Houlan feel proud and even eager to try.

    "Xia Houlan, I will leave Baima City to you to prevent Cao Jun from sneak attacks!"

    "Don't worry, Zilong, I will definitely not let the white horse fall!"

    Zhao Yun immediately left the camp and ordered ten thousand cavalry, but this time there were one man and one horse, and the rest of the horses were all left in the White Horse City.

    There is a serious shortage of horses. The Han army has a total of fifteen thousand cavalry, each with one person and two horses.  Liu Cong had been preparing for these cavalry since he took charge of Jingzhou.  The entire cavalry team expanded from the initial 1,000 to 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, and finally to 10,000. After capturing Xiliang, trade with the Western Regions became closer and closer. In addition, the Han Dynasty rewarded farming, weaving, and commerce, and gradually became rich.  After getting up, the cavalry was finally expanded to 15,000, each with one man and two horses.

    This battle is definitely a tough battle. The distance between Baima and Yanjin is not far. Therefore, Zhao Yun will not let the extra horses be damaged in vain.

    "Report to the general, the army has been assembled!" A military commander urged his horse forward and reported loudly.

    "Let's go!" Zhao Yun waved the bright silver gun in his hand and ordered loudly.

    Immediately, 10,000 cavalry rushed toward Yanjin like a flood that broke a dike.

    There is no secret when the cavalry marches. The sound of horse hooves is like muffled thunder, rolling across the sky, and clouds of smoke and dust go straight up into the white clouds.

    After walking for more than a hundred miles, the scouts reported that Wei cavalry was spotted ahead.

    "Sure enough!" Zhao Yun showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He had already thought that Cao Cao's cavalry was just to deal with him.  Moreover, the soldiers besieged Yanjin to lure him.

    But Zhao Yun is not afraid. The lord Liu Cong wants to compete in the Central Plains and strive for world supremacy, so his cavalry must fight to the death with Cao Cao's cavalry.

    So, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to slow down and move forward slowly.

    After advancing for about two or three miles, they found a large dark area in front of them, with a total of 20,000 cavalry, blocking the way.

    There is no need to set up an ambush in the cavalry decisive battle, because the vast and flat area is conducive to their charge, so the battle is entirely based on strength.

    Cao Jun's 20,000 cavalry were like sharp knives, arranged in a triangular formation, pointing straight ahead.

    Zhao Yun also immediately ordered the cavalry to be divided into three teams, with one team advancing forward and the other two teams slightly behind to support each other.

    Both sides are in an impact formation, and no one is willing to defend.

    At this time, I saw a general riding out of the Wei army, holding a broadsword in his hand.

    "Zhang Liao?" Zhao Yun was a little surprised. Zhang Liao was originally in Xuzhou, but suddenly appeared here. It was obvious that Cao Cao had made full preparations for this battle.

    Although most of Cao Cao's generals were from the north, the only one who was truly proficient in cavalry combat was Zhang Liao.  At the beginning, Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and fought many battles against the Huns and other foreign tribes at Yanmen Pass. However, his glory was overshadowed by the flying general Lu Bu. However, Zhao Yun would not despise Zhang Liao, and certainly would not be afraid of Zhang Liao.

    "Zhao Yun, I, Zhang Liao, will have no regrets in my life if I can fight you decisively!" Zhang Liao said loudly, his voice full of excitement.

    For Zhao Yun, he would not persuade him to surrender because he knew that Zhao Yun, like him, would never surrender. For such a general, urging him to surrender was sometimes an insult.

    "Zhang Liao, a decisive battle with you is my wish."?¡±

    At the beginning, the three great cavalry of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zan's White Horse Yi Cong, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Cavalry, were all powerful outside the Great Wall. Many people have discussed which one is better, but there has never been a conclusion.

    Nowadays, the three major cavalry are gone, but their generals are still there. The shadow of the white horse Yi Cong can be seen in the Jingzhou cavalry, and Cao Cao's cavalry retains the traces of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

    They will show the world who is better?

    Zhang Liao slowly raised the sword in his hand, and Zhao Yun also raised the bright silver spear.

    All the soldiers took up weapons, but the Han army had more weapons. Although there was no horse-killing sword, the Han sword was by no means weaker than the horse-cutting sword. It also had more throwing spears and hand-held repeating crossbows.

    The war horse felt the murderous intention of its master and kept scratching the ground with its front hooves, ready to rush over at any time.

    "kill!"

    Finally, the sword and the gun were swung down at the same time, and the roar of the mountain and the tsunami of killing sounds rang out.

    Thousands of horses galloped, the sound shook the mountains. The Wei army had 20,000 cavalry, while the Han army only had 10,000 cavalry. However, the momentum released by both sides was evenly matched.

    A hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Liao's face, and he looked at his sons Zhang Hu and Cao Chun next to him.

    He has never fought with the Han cavalry, but he heard from Zhang Hu and Cao Chun that the Han army not only had brave soldiers and sharp swords, but even the horses seemed to be the best in a hundred.

    But now Zhang Liao has some doubts. There seems to be something wrong with the Han army's horses.

    The cavalry on both sides have not yet come into contact, and dense arrows have already been exchanged.  The soldiers of the Wei army fell off their horses one after another. Of course, some of them also shot the soldiers of the Han army, but the number was much less.

    With a repeating crossbow in hand, you can fire ten crossbow arrows in a row, while with an ordinary bow, after shooting once, you have to pick up the arrows, set the string, and draw the bow again.  How could the Han army's cavalry give the Wei army such an opportunity?

    Fortunately, the cavalry was very fast. Listening to the rumbling drums, the Wei soldiers rushed forward regardless of casualties.

    The range of throwing spears is not as far as that of bows and arrows, but their power is much greater. Although the soldiers who rushed at the front escaped the arrows, they were stabbed off their horses by these throwing spears. Some of them fell to the ground with their horses and men.  The people behind them were also overturned, but soon they were drowned out by the sound of rolling horses' hooves, and they were trampled into pulp in an instant.

    Looking at all this, Zhang Liao felt a chill down his back. He had a concept in his mind that the Han army¡¯s cavalry was the strongest in the world!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
