    On the other side of the Huai River, Zhang Jaw's army couldn't help but look a little gloomy after seeing Guan Yu's army moving out of camp. To be honest, Zhang Jaw still hates Guan Yu and Huang Zhong until now. After all, Yuan Shao's death was a real blow to Zhang Jaw.  It's too big.  Even this time, troops were mobilized from the Fanxiang area and stationed along the Huai River. Zhang Jia personally wrote to Sun Ce to ask for permission. Originally, Zhou Yu on the Huai River side meant to just give up and concentrate on consolidating the base south of Jiaozhou.  As for Guan Yu on the other side of the Huai River, under the guise of aiding Liu Zhang and with the idea of ??destroying Guo in a false way, just treat Liu Bei as starting a war in advance and just fight.  " Anyway, Zhou Yu finally understood that he would definitely not be able to defeat him. After the defeat, he would admit defeat. Under the current general situation, Guan Yu would not do such a boring thing.  Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't even have the idea of ??consolidating the Huai River defense line. In fact, without Liu Zhang's exact information, Guan Yu had no idea of ??crossing the river and was training troops north of the Huai River.  However, Zhang Jia heard that Guan Yu had arrived on the north bank of the Huai River, so he personally wrote a letter requesting to come and station here. Sun Ce felt Zhang Jia's loyalty and agreed to the matter.  Of course, when Zhou Yu found out, Sun Ce would not escape the bloody scolding from Zhou Yu, but the matter had already been decided, and Zhou Yu could not deny Sun Ce's order.  So Zhou Yu wrote a letter and ordered it to be handed over to Zhang Jia, warning the other party not to conflict with Guan Yu unless Guan Yu took the initiative to provoke him. Of course, he also said that if Guan Yu did something, he would be treated as Zhou Yu.  He didn't say anything, just started fighting, no need to be timid.  Zhang Jia was also told that if Guan Yu wanted to cross the river to the south of Jingzhou and take the road to Indochina, he could just let him go without asking any questions.  On Guan Yu's side, Zhou Yu gave him another letter, to the effect that you have to cross the river to Jingnan to take the road to Indochina. I don't mind. On the other side of the river is Zhang Jaw. He has some conflicts with you, but he is also the same.  A good general, I hope Guan Yu can see Zhou Yu's favor and not deliberately cause conflicts. Please put national affairs first in everything. If there are great changes in Central and South China, please give him a copy of Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu said this bluntly. Although Guan Yu was cold and arrogant, he was willing to give him face. After all, Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of the group army according to the classification in the Northern Xinjiang period, and Guan Yu was a senior officer under his jurisdiction. Although they seem to be no longer subordinate to each other, in fact  The Battle of Northern Xinjiang basically determined the current status of each general.  Therefore, although Guan Yu saw the group of real heavy cavalry under Zhang Zhan who were wearing plate armor and could turn back and forth as easily as the shock cavalry shortly after arriving at Huai River, he did not make any special move.  To be honest, Zhang Jaw, driven by the power of hatred, performed really well. The dual talents of heavy cavalry have truly stabilized the level. The first talent is heavy armor strengthening, and the second talent is blunt attack absorption.  In addition, heavy cavalry generally do not take sharp attacks, and with the deepening of this legion's talent for jaw-opening dexterity, the heavy cavalry, as a battlefield killing unit, has actually begun to possess some of the capabilities of the shock cavalry. This legion can already be called  The most elite cavalry.  If nothing else goes wrong, Zhang Jaw, a heavy cavalry built based on the remnants of the Huns' inherited army spirit army that survived three challenges, will probably become the strongest heavy cavalry currently.  ¡°At least as far as cavalry at the same level is concerned, the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Jia is probably more resistant to beating than the double-talented cavalry led by Li Jue, and may not even be able to beat them head-on.  After all, the open-jawed heavy cavalry has a breastplate three centimeters thick on the front, and other parts are also regular plate armor. The gaps in the plate armor are filled with chain armor and chain mail. After adding the heavy armor strengthening talent, directly add  Equip your own defense to 50%.  After the three-centimetre-thick plate armor on the chest is strengthened by the heavy armor strengthening talent, the actual defense power directly exceeds the defense power provided by the shield guard. At this level, it can actually turn!  From this aspect, Zhou Yu does belong to the kind of character who is very thoughtful and well-executed. The situation in the south is not suitable for cavalry, but after Zhou Yu commanded the battle of Northern Xinjiang, the cavalry regiment knew that it was absolutely necessary.  Can't be missing.  Since the south is not suitable for cavalry, and cavalry cannot be ignored, then when it must be done, Zhou Yu chooses to do it all at once, with the best resources, the best equipment, and the outstanding veterans of Yuzhou, the three are integrated in Zhangja  Under his name, and with sufficient foundation, he created a top-notch dual talent in one go, a magic gun that is ready to be unsealed in a bloody battle.  This is enough to show Zhou Yu's courage, but it is a pity for Zhou Yu that when Zhang Jia selected soldiers, they were not selected based on the level of internal energy, but based on riding skills and sense of balance.  It is precisely because of this early selection rule that about one-third of Zhang Jia's legion does not have the strength to condense internal energy, but Zhang Jia has no opponent.?This aspect is a pity. After all, for cavalry, balance and riding skills are much more important than a little internal energy.  With Zhou Yu's strong support and Zhang Jia's inner desire for revenge, Zhang Jia successfully completed the creation of the heavy cavalry legion, completely stabilized his dual talents, inherited and upgraded the talents of the Euphorbia.  It is more suitable for heavy cavalry to absorb bludgeoning blows.  In this way, after Zhang Zha trained the heavy cavalry, he finally gained some confidence in revenge. However, Zhang Zha could still distinguish between state affairs and private affairs. Therefore, although he applied to Sun Ce to station in Huai River, he never thought about it.  Do something irrational.  From this aspect, Sun Ce's personal charm and natural intuition are indeed very reliable. At least he can understand Zhang Jia's mentality better than Zhou Yu. He wanted to avenge Yuan Shao, but Yuan Tan put down his hatred and regarded his family and country as his priority.  Heavy, how can you not tell the difference when you open your jaw?  "Just hearing about Guan Yu and Huang Zhong's appearance will make Zhang Jia's heart agitated. What's more, for Zhang Jia, the incomparably powerful Guan Yu and Huang Zhong can really stimulate his desire to become stronger.  After all, a military commander who had not yet ascended to the inner Qi separation body a few years ago is now almost reaching the level of a Central Plains military commander. This is quite scary. Although hatred is not a good emotion, it becomes stronger when it becomes stronger.  good.  Therefore, after Zhang Zha came to the Huai River, he did not do anything unnecessary every day. He led his heavy cavalry to press the road back and forth across the river, and raced horses back and forth in the open space opposite Guan Yu's camp. He did not provoke Guan Yu every day.  Before dawn, they began to charge with the cavalry, charging in a large circle.  In the first two days, the generals on Guan Yu's side didn't think there was anything special about a group of cavalry running back and forth in circles.  What's more, the cavalry with open jaws didn't run too fast, and their momentum couldn't be called wild and powerful. They only held ordinary spears. Once they were done, the generals didn't care. It was like this in the south, with archers and cavalry and so on.  This level is worthy of someone from the South.  Just think about it, Zhou Yu treats adult Yunnan horses as underage ponies, so you should know that cavalry is really magical for the south. Naturally, not many people pay attention to the open-jawed cavalry.  Anyway, the generals of Guan Yu's army didn't care at all if they didn't have the level of the three major cavalry in the north. But having said that, if they really had the level of the three major cavalry in the north, it would really be fatal. The three major cavalry in the north either have a combat power that breaks through the sky, or  The fighting style breaks the bottom line.  Therefore, many people in Guan Yu's army saw the cavalry on the opposite side across the Huai River, but they didn't take it seriously. Until one day, Du Yuan was releasing water from the Huai River, and with his eyesight separated from the body, he accidentally glanced at the opposite side of the river and passed in front of him.  The cavalry finally saw the opponent's condition clearly.  At that moment, Du Yuan's hair exploded. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the plate armor as thick as the width of his thumb worn by the soldiers on the opposite side. Only then did he suddenly realize that something was wrong. These soldiers were not assault cavalry, but  Heavy cavalry!  Although a man like Du Yuan also participated in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang and saw Zhang Jiao's heavy cavalry, Zhang Jiao's heavy cavalry didn't know whether it was good or bad. They encountered the Xiongnu Army Soul three times in total.  There were less than 3,000 people, and by the time of the decisive battle in Northern Xinjiang, there were less than 1,000 people left.  Du Yuan thought that after taking refuge with Sun Ce, he would go back to the south and organize the less than a thousand people into his own bodyguards if he had no soldiers, and lead a new legion or use it as the core to form other legions, but what happened was that this wave of hell happened.  , Zhang Jaw actually led the reorganized heavy cavalry of 5,000 men!  Let's say that when Du Yuan discovered this situation that day, he hurriedly ran back to tell his brothers about it. Then a large group of people practiced Qi and became Gang. More than 200 people went to the north bank of Huai River to stare at the people led by Zhang Jia on the other side.  The heavy cavalrymen observed for a while.  The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this thing was worthy of being a battlefield killing weapon. However, watching the heavy cavalry with its jaws open, turning around, throwing out an S shape, and making a U shape, the group of generals and commanders from the Yellow Turbans across the river felt that they were useless.  Blessings are received.  Without Zhang Jaw's weird legion talent, the heavy cavalry is simply a disposable item, a thing that cannot be turned around. Even on the battlefield where a large legion is decisively fighting, the difficulty of turning around is basically destined to only be used once. So,  First of all, it really doesn't have much value for a large battlefield of this size in the Central Plains.  With the heavy plate armor on the body, it is definitely resistant to beatings, but it can only charge in a straight line, and the terrain requirements are very high. Even after the speed is increased, it does not even dare to make a slight attack adjustment. Basically, it is that kind of knife  A soldier with no regrets.  Even if the opponent just sells a flaw, lures them, and prepares a chariot, it is enough to trap the heavy cavalry. After all, without the support of the jaw opening dexterity talent, where the normal heavy cavalry can sprint at high speed, the chariot can definitely also charge.  Not to mention the impact force, the strongest one on the plain is definitelyChariot, it is no problem for a chariot to kill a dozen of your heavy cavalry, and compared with the cost of heavy cavalry, the cost of a chariot is really not high, and after the battle is over, the dead war oxen can be used for extra meals.  Therefore, a group of old Yellow Turbans who have experienced thousands of battles and survived, all know that the army on the opposite side is definitely the top killing army on the battlefield, but apart from the kind of cheating like opening their jaws, I am afraid they will not be able to bear it.  Especially Zhang Jaw may have noticed that a large group of Qi Lian Chenggang and seven or eight Nei Qi Lishui opposite were staring at his legion. The next day, Zhang Jaw even changed the weapons for his soldiers.  It is no longer the ordinary spear used yesterday, but replaced by a regular heavy cavalry weapon, a standard one-foot-long dragon spear, with a triangular pyramid-shaped spear head that is almost two feet long!  The generals under Guan Yu were drooling when they looked at the open-jawed heavy cavalry regiment, especially Jiang Gong, Jiang Yan, and Zhou Cang. After secretly swimming from the Huai River and lying on the south bank of the Huai River for careful observation, they finally succeeded in identifying Zhang.  The two major talents of the Jaw Legion.  Of course, there are only about 2,000 soldiers who are truly dual-talented. The other soldiers seem to be missing a battle. Although you can tell from their movements and expressions that they are some reliable veterans, they cannot survive without such a battle.  .  But this is not too important. The important thing is that Zhang Jiao's dual-talented heavy cavalry has actually taken shape. Even if only part of it is only part of it, it is impossible to have the previous situation where it cannot be used and is covered.  .  What¡¯s more important is that the two talents are combined together, and the three centimeter-thick plate armor on the chests of the soldiers makes these generals who have survived hundreds of battles look a little ugly.  As they have experienced a lot of wars, even if they know that a certain legion is their friendly army and their own people will never take action against them, they will still analyze it as soon as they see it. This has almost become their  An instinct.  Just like when the veterans under Huangfu Song saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry coming to greet Huangfu Song from a distance, the first thing they reported to Huangfu Song was the combat effectiveness of the opposing legion, and then they basically focused on how to annihilate the opposing legion.  Unfortunately, the legion of Zhang Jaw seems to have no solution on the plains. Whether the so-called powerful single-shot crossbow can penetrate the plate armor of these guys is a question. With the heavy armor talent, a three-centimeter plate  A, the actual defense power has exceeded that of a large shield without any support from the shield guard!  As for the specialized weapons used by powerful legions such as heavy cavalry, armored soldiers, and heavy infantry, such as heavy flails, bones, heavy hammers, etc., in the face of Zhang Jaw's second talent of blunt blow absorption, these things are very useful to Zhang Jaw's subordinates.  The damage of this group of heavy cavalry has been greatly reduced.  ¡°As a result, the heavy cavalry, which was originally a great weapon on the battlefield, seems to have no solution when the terrain is suitable.  Naturally, Guo Jia received this information not long after, and went to see it in person. He was slightly impressed by Zhang Jia, and even praised him for being a good general in Hebei, and then went back to drink, without even saying anything.  Because after reading this, Guo Jia knew that if this legion were to fight head-on on the plains, it would be impossible for troops that were not at the level of military soul to defeat them. Their skin was thick and could withstand beatings, and their attack power was high. Look at the two-foot-long triangular pyramid gun.  You'll know in your head.  What's more, the heavy cavalry itself is a high-attack and high-defense unit. The two biggest disadvantages are the terrain requirements, and the other is that if it turns around under its own strong inertia, it will break the neck of the war horse and break the legs of the war horse.  In this way, the heavy cavalry must stop and slowly turn around after the word battle. This is almost the best time to surround and kill the heavy cavalry. Crossbows, trebuchets, and melee combat can all be used.  However, the talent of Zhang Jaw directly solves the latter problem of heavy cavalry. As for the terrain requirements, it is also reduced because of Zhang Jaw's dexterity talent. The foundation of real heavy cavalry is close to the conditions for use of assault cavalry.  This is very scary. The reason why the Xiliang cavalry are so powerful and boast that they are the strongest cavalry all the year round is because they are assault cavalry themselves, but they have all-round combat capabilities close to those of heavy cavalry. Although Zhang Jaw¡¯s army does not have the general  It's adaptable, but it's absolutely terrifying in the hands of an open jaw.  Therefore, the best way to face cavalry like Zhang Jaw is not to fight to the death, but to hang them and let the light cavalry tease them without engaging in frontal combat. Drag them until they can no longer sustain themselves, and then engage in encirclement and close combat.  As for frontal combat, there is no combat power at the level of military souls. One by one, one will die. After all, the real heavy cavalry is the kind of heavy cavalry that wears plate armor and has horses covered with makai. Not to mention other aspects, frontal combat on the plains is definitely the best.  Decisive battle at the military level.  This kind of legion has obvious disadvantages and equally obvious advantages. It can be copied in large quantities at a large amount of money. It has the qualities of a decisive battle unit in frontal combat on the plains, but it is easy to be caught and killed.    The simplest solution is that the white horse attacks from behind and the heavy cavalry legion turns around, causing the horse to deflect and the horse's legs to break.  Without turning around, the white horse Yi Cong followed and slashed. Anyway, the plate armor cannot be made to fit perfectly. There must be chain mail links in the middle. Sooner or later, if you find a flaw, you will stab it to death. It can be said that the heavy cavalry was knocked to death by the ultimate light cavalry type like the white horse.  No joke.  Of course, those are just ordinary heavy cavalry. If you switch to the open-jaw type, there's nothing you can do. If the white horse dares to get close, even if this legion can't turn around in an instant, just twist and turn, and shoot the white horse with a gun, there's still no problem. Such a difference  , which is enough to block the weak points that are not too many in itself.  It can be said that the heavy cavalry of Zhang Jaw, after adding dexterity, can be regarded as a perfect super elite regiment, and on the plains, its combat effectiveness is not inferior to the so-called decisive battle troops. But it is a pity that even if someone wants to  Imitation, if you don¡¯t have the legion talent to open your jaw, you will die if you imitate.  This thing is basically equivalent to Zhang Zha¡¯s tailor-made troops. Regardless of whether his legion talent can be perfected and merged into elite talents one day, this legion is better in Zhang Zha¡¯s hands than anyone else¡¯s.  powerful.  Guan Yu broke out of camp very quickly and crossed the river at an astonishing speed. It was obvious that he wanted to be vigorous and resolute. After seeing Guan Yu leading his troops across the river, Zhang Jia directly led his troops to form a front line on the other side of the river, and the heavy cavalry charged.  Among the front lines, the one in the middle is Zhang Jaw.  Standing on the bow of the ship, Guan Yu looked at the action of opening his jaws with an expression still indifferent, but a cold light had already appeared in his eyes.  "Zhou Cang, carry my sword!" Guan Yu ordered coldly.
