Chapter 1049: Big News
If you want to go to Jizhou, you naturally have to go to Yanzhou.
It just so happened that Yanzhou was still in Liu Bei's hands, and his third brother Zhang Fei and the tiger general Xu Chu were stationed here.
The soldiers and horses stationed in Yanzhou were originally used to guard against Jizhou and Xuzhou.
It is the most cutting-edge position in Liu Bei's hands, and there are many soldiers and horses.
It can be seen from the military generals that Liu Bei has planted here.
Of course, it is precisely because there are a large number of soldiers and horses arranged in Yanzhou.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only brought 30,000 cavalry, which was enough to kill Jizhou from here.
Grain and grass supplies could be transported from Yanzhou, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao only needed to use Yanzhou as a base to disrupt Liu Zheng's pace of attacking Youzhou.
Tens of thousands of cavalry set out from Luoyang to reach Yanzhou, but it was only a few days.
And during the time when the soldiers and horses went to Yanzhou.
Liu Zheng's army has also come to the city of Lecheng County at this time.
Lecheng County.
Two days ago, Xu Huang's army had already arrived here first.
Originally, Xu Huang planned to use his soldiers and horses to directly attack this Lecheng County.
However, this Yuan Xi seems to have come prepared, and around this Lecheng, a lot of horse rejection and horse traps were arranged, and the cavalry could not rampage on this battlefield.
Xu Huang knew that this Yuan Xi was in the city, so he did not rush to attack the city, but let his soldiers and horses surround the city first.
I plan to wait for Liu Zheng's headquarters army, and after coming from here, I will gather forces and launch an attack on this city.
However, Xu Huang's plan soon fell through.
The day after he led people to surround Lecheng County.
A group of cavalry suddenly appeared outside Lecheng County.
As soon as this group of people appeared, they immediately attacked Xu Huang and these people, and they didn't say anything at all.
Both sides were cavalry.
The fight is also very fast.
However, as soon as the enemy army appeared, Xu Huang had already seen through their identities.
After all, these cavalry under Xu Huang are all elite heavy cavalry.
Armed all over. There is not only a complete set of war horse armor, but also cavalry armor.
Ordinary blades could not break through the protection of these heavy cavalry.
However, these cavalry of the enemy army did not have much protective ability, and most of them were light cavalry formed with soldiers and ordinary horses.
These cavalry, Xu Huang didn't even need to think too much to determine that they were cavalry under the Karasuma people.
After all, even the cavalry configured by the imperial court army under Liu Bei will have some protective armor to some extent.
Only the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Xianbei are alien races, because they don't have much forging ability, and the cavalry formed is mostly horses.
There wasn't much other armor on the horse.
There are pros and cons to this cavalry.
The advantage is that without heavy armor, the horse can run faster and have a stronger durability.
Being able to travel back and forth quickly in a short period of time is a bit reluctant to travel 800 miles a day, but it is more than enough to run 2 or 300 miles.
Of course, the disadvantage is that the cavalry has no protective ability at all, and when it encounters real heavy cavalry, of course, it can't compare to the charge of heavy cavalry.
As soon as you fight, you will lose the upper hand.
At this point, these cavalry led by Bun Dun had already seen the power of these heavy cavalry under Xu Huang last year.
Of course, Badon is not completely incapable of dealing with it.
They could rely on the relatively large number of war horses and take advantage of the numerical advantage to deal a blow to Xu Huang's cavalry.
At the same time, these cavalrymen under Badun were good at riding and shooting.
Before you even charge, you can shoot a round.
The cavalry of both sides launched a round of attacks outside Lecheng County.
After a fight.
The battle between Xu Huang and Bang Dun's soldiers and horses gradually subsided.
Each has its own winners and losers, and no one has been able to gain the absolute upper hand.
However, because of the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Badun, they returned to Lecheng County.
For a time, the infantry troops under Yuan Xi of Lecheng County increased significantly.
Xu Huang didn't dare to be stationed here easily.
is worried that Yuan Xi will launch an attack on his more than 10,000 people, after all, Xu Huang has always only had more than 10,000 people here, and this amount of manpower is not enough for Yuan Xi to eat a pot.
Yuan Xi is in Lecheng, and now there must be at least forty or fifty thousand troops.
These people, and half of them were cavalrymen, all of them were elite cavalry under the Karasuma people, and they were not so easy to deal with.
Even Xu Huang, a veteran of the battlefield, in the face of such a situation, it is not so easy to deal with these more than 10,000 cavalry alone.
He could only retreat for the time being, not showing his edge.
Yuan Xi and Badun's men and horses got together.
That night, Bandun returned to Lecheng County.
met with Yuan Xi.
"Yuan Xigongzi, what happened, why are there Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses outside this city?"
Looting from Zhongshan Country, robbing some grain and grass, and returning to the river, there was still some excitement, after all, when I went to Zhongshan this time, the grain and grass I robbed belonged to their Karasuma people.
However, after receiving Yuan Xi's order for help, after returning here, something was immediately wrong.
On the way, Yuan Xi didn't say it too clearly to Bun Dun, so Bun Dun didn't know that it was Liu Zheng who led the army and came to this Hejian County.
Now, seeing these enemy troops outside Lecheng County, he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Yuan Xi saw that he had returned to the city, and the heart he had been carrying was also relieved at this time.
"General Badun, you're back, great, with your men back, then I'm not so worried, let me tell you, we received a big news!"
"Big news? What's the news? ”
He was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked Yuan Xi, very curious.
"This time, we didn't come for Liu Zheng, and we planned to target Liu Zheng and eliminate some of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, but do you know who Liu Zheng sent to Jizhou to deal with us this time?"
Yuan Xi clearly did not have the slightest worry or nervousness about being besieged at this time.
Instead, there was excitement on his face.
"Who? Could it be that Liu Zheng's most powerful Huang Zhong? Or is it his trap? ”
These centaurs under Liu Zheng had already been investigated by Yuan Xi's spies, so when Yuan Xi talked about this, he immediately thought that he was trapped in the camp.
Yuan Xi immediately shook his head.
"Of course not, if it's just these people, I don't think this news is big news."
Yuan Xi immediately denied it.
As soon as he said this, he was immediately startled.
He is not a fool either, when he heard Yuan Xi say this, he naturally realized it.
Suddenly lost his voice.
"Could it be that this time Liu Zheng personally brought people to Jizhou?"
"That's right! That's him! He has personally conquered, and now he has arrived in Jizhou with his people, and he is afraid that he will come to our Lecheng County in the near future! ”
Yuan Xi replied immediately.
