Chapter 350
Zhang Hao threw the information on the desk and cursed Ma Yantu.
White horse is an empty city, Ma Yan and Zhao Yun want to compare time, want to compare speed, isn't this a joke? In Yuzhou, it was not that he had not seen the speed of the Jingzhou cavalry, but it was one man and two horses!
What would be the situation when the infantry could not arrive in the city in time and meet the cavalry in the wilderness?
Stay in Chen Liu, waiting for the lord's army to retake Yanzhou, but will there be this day?
But if he abandoned the city and left, if the lord Cao Cao blamed him, he would definitely cut off his head, because his identity was a general!
"Report to the general, General Cao Hong sent a letter!" A soldier rushed in and pulled out a letter.
Zhang Hao took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. At first, his brows furrowed, but soon, he stretched out.
"This Cao Zilian, there really is a set!" Zhang Hao threw down the letter, and immediately sent an order to the adjutant general, gathered troops and horses, and prepared to leave the city.
It turned out that Cao Hong said in his letter that the Han army had come to attack Yanzhou, and he would lead the soldiers and horses to defend Yanjin.
Cao Hong is a well-known blessed general, no matter how difficult the situation, no matter how bad the defeat, he can retreat with his whole body. Unlike Cao Ren, who was so able to fight, he lost his life in Nanyang.
Guarding Yanjin, Zhang Hao naturally understood that if the Han army came to attack, then he would retreat across the Yellow River to confront it. Anyway, the purpose of the Han army this time was to occupy Yanzhou, and it was impossible to cross the Yellow River and attack Jizhou again.
It seems that this Cao Hong is not only lucky, but also has a unique vision. Zhang Hao naturally wants to follow suit, Yanjin is so important, isn't Guandu important?
Because the Han army wants to attack Baima, the next step must be to occupy Yanjin and Guandu.
Soon, Zhang Hao straightened out the soldiers and horses in the city, took enough food and grass, and quickly withdrew towards Guandu.
Ma Yan led 5,000 soldiers and horses, but he ran wildly all the way! He was not determined to hit the stone with pebbles, because there was still a glimmer of life, that is, to occupy the white horse first.
Baima City Mayan was very familiar, and when he was still under Yuan Shao, he and Yan Liang were here to guard it. Later, Yan Liang was beheaded by Guan Yu, the Yuan army was defeated, the white horse was lost, and Ma Yan was captured and surrendered.
Finally approaching, Mayan breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a tremor in the earth.
Ma Yan was shocked, how could the cavalry of the Han army run so fast?
Cavalry...... Chinese...... The cavalry of the Han army..." a military sima shouted in a trembling voice.
"Quick, hurry up in formation!" roared Mayan, who couldn't hear that this was cavalry?
Five thousand soldiers and horses lined up in a phalanx in a panic, setting up shields around them, and crossbowmen hiding behind shields.
Soon, the figure of the iron horse of the Han army appeared in all directions, and the whole earth shook. The shieldman's palms were all sweaty, and the crossbowman's arrows could not reach the strings.
"Hurry up and release the arrows!" shouted Ma Yan at the sight of the Han troops rushing over.
Cavalry charging is not the same as infantry charging formation, the speed of the cavalry is too fast, it is necessary to release arrows in advance, and cannot wait until the cavalry rushes into range, otherwise it will be in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, the arrows of the Han army's iron horse shot over, and although they had shield hands, they were still shot and killed many people.
Ma Yan was shocked in his heart, he is a northerner, cavalry combat is not unseen, but I have never seen such a strong horse and shooting ability, this is the level of a thousand soldiers!
After a round of feather arrows, it was a thrower with greater power than the arrow, and the wooden shield in front was directly penetrated, and the soldiers quickly fell down one layer.
"Block it!" shouted Mayen, completely unexpected.
However, at this time, the cavalry had already rushed into the formation, relying on flesh and blood, how could it be stopped?
Ma Yan looked at it and knew that he had completely defeated this battle. In front of the cavalry, it was already impossible to escape. So he urged the horse to dance the gun, and with hundreds of guards, he rushed over to meet the iron horse of the Han army.
Seeing that the main general rushed towards the enemy's iron horse, these soldiers, who had no morale, were full of fighting spirit in an instant, followed behind Mayen, and frontally charged with the cavalry.
However, after striking the stone with a pebble, Ma Yan was surrounded by a dozen iron horsemen and hacked to death by a dozen iron horsemen after killing several Han cavalry soldiers.
Although those soldiers were very strong in the Wei army, in front of the iron horse of the Han army, there was no enemy at all, and they were all killed like chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
"As soon as Ma Yan dies, surrender and do not kill!" shouted Xiahou Langao, the commander of the Han army's iron horse.
"Surrender and don't kill!" the Han soldiers immediately stopped killing and shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the wilderness.
A puff of smoke and dust dispersed, and the battlefield unexpectedly quieted down, and I saw the Wei soldiers, except for half of the corpses, all of them kneeling on the ground.
Xia Houlan ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the Wei army killed nearly 2,000 people and captured more than 3,000 people, and the two sides basically did not form a melee, so the Han cavalry suffered very few casualties.
Half an hour later, Xia Houlan took the prisoner and returned to White Horse City.
"Zilong, this Wei army's combat strength is too weak, without fighting, before it can rush the battle, it is defeated!" Xia Houlan saw Zhao Yun and said happily.
"Five thousand cavalry against five thousand infantry, and our weapons are superior, how can we not win. But don't be careless in the future, otherwise you will be ashamed of the lord!" said Zhao Yun.
"Yes," Xia Houlan nodded, "The lord's investment in the cavalry is much greater than Gongsun Zhan's investment in the white horse righteous conformity!"
However, later, Gongsun Zan withheld military salaries and did not replenish war horses and recruits, resulting in a great decline in combat strength. Otherwise, how could he lose to Qi Yi and Zhang Hao's euphorbia?"
"Zilong, Zhang Hao is too cunning, not only retreated to Guandu, but also retreated across the Yellow River, otherwise we can avenge the revenge of the year."
"No, we have no personal feud with Zhang Hao!" Zhao Yun exuded a thick murderous aura, "but we must defeat him, no matter where he retreats!"
