To put it bluntly, the trick of the Storm Cavalry is nothing extraordinary. It is to use the cover of the front army to prevent the enemy on the opposite side from seeing what is happening behind them. When they took advantage of the Clutch Soldiers and quickly evacuated to the two wings, the white horse elites who followed were revealed.
It is not easy to collect white horses, and there are even fewer white horses that can serve as war horses. Gongsun Zan's three thousand cavalry had been accumulated for many years. Although Qingzhou's power is now larger, it cannot exceed it by much.
However, Wang Yu still retained the pure white horse cavalry formation, and stipulated that only elite veterans who had beheaded more than five levels could receive this honor.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a system of twenty ranks of nobility, pioneered by Shang Yang, with the lowest being a public official and the highest being a prince. According to regulations, as long as a soldier can kill an enemy soldier's head on the battlefield, he can be awarded a first-level knighthood. By analogy, any warrior in the Gale Cavalry who is qualified to ride a white horse can be called a doctor!
Of course, these elite are all officers, and they usually have scattered teams, but this time, Zhao Yun did the opposite and concentrated most of the elite together.
These elite cavalrymen wear white horses and white robes, and the half-body plate armor they wear is polished and shiny, like silver mirrors.
It¡¯s summer, and noon is also the time of day when the sun is strongest.
The combination of the two creates an extremely intense flash. It was also because the front troops of the Storm Cavalry moved too quickly and neatly. This sudden attack was like someone throwing hundreds or thousands of flash bombs at once, making people unable to open their eyes.
The battlefield is constantly changing. Even the smallest distraction can have fatal consequences. What's more, two cavalrymen are facing each other with their speed raised to the extreme?
The lookout on the Chinese enemy tower witnessed this amazing scene.
The sudden flash of light was like a blessing from the legendary fairy magic. The enemy's combat power was increased beyond imagination. The moment the two armies came into contact, the shining white horse knights turned into a sword. The indestructible sword destroys everything wherever it goes. Those who stand in your way are invincible!
Because he was so shocked, the lookout was stunned for a while. Then, under the reminder of the officer, he hurriedly recounted the battle situation ahead. After only hearing the first two sentences, Cao Cao gritted his teeth. Ringing, I felt great hatred in my heart.
Beware of everything. After all, he was still being calculated!
Those who are not familiar with military affairs may think that the advantage taken by the Qingzhou Army is not very big, but Cao Cao has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he not know the secret of this? That's right, the only people directly affected by the Qingzhou Army's move were the two or three rows of cavalry in front. But the problem is that cavalry is no better than infantry. No matter how dense the array is, it can only be dense and dense at best.
The cavalry in the front row can suppress the speed and maintain a dense formation. Guarantee the impact of the initial hit. But those behind cannot follow so closely, they must keep a certain distance. To avoid collision with the front.
If nothing else happens, the first round of collision between the two sides will be a winner and a loser. Even if the Tigers and Leopards suffer some losses, the situation will not be one-sided. The gap that appeared in the front will be supplemented by subsequent cavalry. As the war progresses, the two sides will consume each other and form a melee. This is exactly what Cao Cao expected.
But now the situation has become tricky. The densely arrayed front army has temporarily lost its vision and its combat power has been sharply reduced. However, the Qingzhou Army can use its strongest posture to face multiple enemies in a row. To put it mildly, this is just a matter of priority, but the problem is that the opponent is not an ordinary person!
Being given such a first move by Zhao Yun, who is best at finding loopholes and seizing opportunities, the consequences will be very serious!
At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, Zhao Yun's silver spear grazed Xia Houshang's throat. He didn't bother to test the results of the battle, and he rushed into the enemy's formation at the lead.
"Follow me, don't be obsessed with fighting!" He shouted loudly, swung his left hand fiercely, and then cut off half of the head in front of him with a sword. The white horse turned into a white lightning and pierced through the blood like a fountain. In the past, there was no blood stained!
The impact of the cavalry relies on speed, and the two horses cannot exchange a few moves at the moment when they meet each other. After the horses are staggered, whether the opponent lives or dies is a matter for the companion behind him. You only need to keep your eyes straight ahead and try to cut down the enemies you can see as soon as possible.
The third opponent is about the same age as Zhao Yun. There is obvious fear in his eyes. He is obviously a new recruit.
The inexperienced rookie made a fatal mistake. The best state during a bloody battle is to think about nothing, but he thought too much. Zhao Yun raised his arm and swung his sword, holding the spear piercing his throat above his head. Then the sword flashed, using the inertia of the war horse to slide against the pole, cutting off the opponent's fingers, shoulders and neck.
The silver spear in his right hand did not stop. Zhao Yun opened his bow from left to right and stabbed another enemy soldier off his horse.
"Kill them as quickly as possible and open a way for the lord."?" Zhao Yun shouted the order. The current situation is good, but we can't think that we can sit back and relax. The infinitely powerful cavalry also has many limitations. The task of the light cavalry is to eliminate all unfavorable factors and ensure that the cavalry can release all its power without reservation. Come on.
Just like wind and fire, fire cannot spread quickly without the help of wind. Only with the blowing of strong wind, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Zhao Yun swung his sword to cut down an opponent, and then removed an arm. The silver spear held in his right hand shot out a little starlight. Wherever it passed, Cao's soldiers fell off their horses. When he looked up again, there were no friendly troops in front and on the left and right sides, and all he could see were ferocious and frightened faces.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the enemy was frightened by the previous fierce charge and did not dare to move forward for a moment, Zhao Yun turned slightly sideways and observed the situation behind him with the corner of his eye.
He was very satisfied with the result. Relying on the sunlight reflection to gain the upper hand, the brothers successfully transformed the fish scale formation into a standard wedge-shaped attack formation during the impact.
This is the formation that is most conducive to assault. Coupled with the cavalry who were scattered to the two wings under the leadership of Fang Yue and Qin Feng, who also formed a wedge formation, the gale force cavalry completed the transformation of the formation like magic. Turned into a trident!
With Zhao Yun himself as the tip of the spear, the middle road advanced wildly, squeezing the tiger and leopard cavalry to both sides. The cavalry on both wings gradually distanced themselves from the central army and picked up their bows and arrows. Shoot a hail of "bobo" arrows from the side at the enemy who can't stop his feet and has no time to turn.
Zhao Yun was very satisfied. Cao Xiu panicked.
The heavy losses are yet to come. If the current situation continues, the Leopard Cavalry's formation is likely to be directly penetrated by Zhao Yun! Although he didn't think Zhao Yun could use the same technique to defeat the tiger cavalry behind him, Cao Xiu also had the pride of being a famous general in the world. How could he allow his enemies to gallop around on his own territory?
"Follow me, kill Zhao Yun first!" The fierce battle in front of him did not allow him to carefully examine the key points, and there was no need for it. Relying on his keen battlefield intuition, Cao Xiu made a quick judgment. Only the spearhead of Zhao Yun can be contained. Only then can it be possible to block the enemy's momentum.
He left the central army, rushed into the crowd with all his soldiers, and rushed towards the unstoppable enemy general.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were also inspired by the bravery of their commander and launched a counterattack bravely.
People keep falling off their horses, and people keep being trampled to pieces by horses' hooves. But no one on either side of the enemy backed down. Death is right in front of them, everyone turns a blind eye, every time a comrade standing in front of them falls. Rush immediately to fill his position.
The fierce battle was going on at the fastest speed. Hundreds of warriors fell off their horses every moment, countless weapons clashed every moment, and countless lives were withering every moment.
Both sides are the best warriors of this era, and both sides firmly believe that they represent justice. Both rolled into the dirt together, shoulder to shoulder. Arms brushing arms. The blood of both sides dyed the wilderness on the north bank of the river red.
The cavalry sandwiched between the generals of both sides quickly moved their horses to avoid them. Cavalry requires speed, and standing in front of their own generals would only be a disservice. The distance of dozens of steps was instantly shortened by the horse's hooves, and Cao Xiu clearly saw the dots of blood on the enemy general's white robe.
He secretly estimated the remaining distance, thirty steps. Twenty steps, ten steps
"Just die!" The moment before entering the fighting distance. Cao Xiu let out a loud roar like a thunderbolt, and completed the action of opening the bow and releasing the arrow as fast as he could in his life. In less than a breath, he shot out the arrow in his hand!
??Three consecutive shots with arrows! The finished glyph shoots towards Zhao Yun!
Cao Xiu knew in his heart that his martial arts skills were not as good as those of his opponent, and fighting hard would only lead to death in vain. However, he had enough confidence in his archery skills that he wanted to plot against Zhao Yun.
When he thought about it, in the face of such a sudden blow, even if Zhao Yun could avoid it, he would still be injured, or at least he would be in a hurry. His own soldiers were all elite warriors. They took this opportunity to attack him and chopped him into pieces.
Cao Xiu¡¯s soldiers lived up to his expectations. At the moment when he shouted violently, more than thirty cavalrymen pushed their horses to the extreme, using both swords and guns, and attacked him without defending.
They were all dead soldiers, determined to die, and only focused on Zhao Yun. Even if they were trampled to pieces by the Qingzhou cavalry, they had no regrets.
Leng Jian and the siege coordinated seamlessly, killing Zhao Yun almost simultaneously and setting up a dragnet around him. No matter how you look at it, there will be no chance of survival. Cao Xiu didn't even intend to observe the results of the battle, and hurriedly turned his horse around to avoid the large group of people behind Zhao Yun.
However, before he could hold the reins, he saw a scene he would never forget.
The figure in silver armor and white robeIt turned into a phantom, flashed twice in succession on horseback, and actually avoided two fatal arrows in succession! Finally, the angle of the third arrow was tricky enough, and it hit the blind spot between the waist and hips. There was no way to avoid it. However, this snake-like arrow was actually caught by Zhao Yun in the air with his free left hand!
Zhao Yun shook his hands and threw the captured feather arrow as a hidden weapon, stabbing a war horse that was running at high speed. Cao Jun on horseback jumped into the air the moment his mount fell to the ground, and flew towards Zhao Yun's head like a kite. Zhao Yun ignored them, shook his silver spear, and faced the enemies coming from the left and right like a flurry of snow, stabbing them into dust. Behind him, two long spears were raised high, piercing the opponent who was flying bravely in the air.
"Come in!" Zhao Yun failed to hide this time and was covered in a waterfall of hot blood. He waved his hand and wiped away his own blood and the enemy's blood. Then without looking back, keep moving forward.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If anyone thinks that just by besieging themselves, they can stop the momentum of the army, they are totally wrong.
