And the soldiers and horses that Liu Zheng equipped Guan Hai, Zang Ba and others with were mainly bows and crossbows and spears.

It was the first to ascend to the dead and the euphorbia to emulate.

With the combination of these two forces.

It is not difficult to deal with the restructured White Horse Yi.

The two sides fought, the soldiers and horses collided together, and immediately a fierce battle began.

The cavalry that rushed to the front, one by one, fell.

The lethality of long-range spears is far more terrifying than that of cavalry.

Although these cavalry rammed into it with an unstoppable momentum, charging and trampling.

But the pikemen were undaunted to huddle together, using the spear's long-range thrusts.

Forcibly tore the rows of cavalry out of the gaps one by one.

The cavalry was pierced and slowly fell.

The horses under his command also continued to ram forward.

It can also cause serious trampling damage to those urban and rural soldiers.

Sometimes a single pikeman was not slashed by a cavalryman's weapon, but was knocked unconscious by a man who had fallen from his horse or a horse that had fallen.

Losses are increasing on both sides.

Although the cavalry was restrained by pikemen.

But the casualties of these pikemen were still high.

After all, the white horse righteousness that Guan Hai is facing now is not the white horse righteousness in history.

These white horse servants were Zhao Yun who improved the horse pedals, and ordered the blacksmiths of the imperial court to build the horse pedals on a large scale, and then equipped all the cavalry under his command with a strengthened version of the white horse receptacles.

With the horseshoe, the knight on this horse can better control his body and swing more widely.

You don't need to put all your strength on your legs in order to control your balance right away.

They can spare some energy to focus on attacking.

It was because of the horseshoe that these cavalry became more difficult and terrifying.

Even if the pikemen specifically restrain the cavalry, they will bring great losses when encountering such a white horse layer.

In just one round of attack, Guan Hai's men and Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses.

And at the same time.

On a canyon between Liyang County and Yecheng.

Fighting is also taking place here.

The people and horses stationed here are Ma Chao.

Ma Chao attacked Liyang County with Zhao Yun the day before.

It's just that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao joined forces at that time, but they were not able to lay down this Liyang county seat.

Zhao Yun was worried that reinforcements would rush to Liyang from the direction of Yecheng to support, so he asked Ma Chao to lead 10,000 cavalry overnight and set up an ambush in the middle of Liyang to Yecheng.

Ma Chao's stay in Liyang didn't have much effect, after all, Xu Chu's next soldiers and horses arrived, and they had enough people and horses to stay in Liyang.

The rest is just to intercept the people who support Liyang.

It was under such circumstances that Ma Chao came to Yecheng and Liyang to set up an ambush.

After keeping watch all night, Ma Chao didn't wait for any reinforcements.

Ma Chao was a little annoyed, and even felt that there were no reinforcements in Liyang City at all, just when Ma Chao felt that he should go back to cooperate with Zhao Yun and the others to attack Liyang together.

In the direction of Yecheng, there was some movement of cavalry rushing.

This is one of the few cavalry under Yuan Shang's command.

has always been under the dispatch of Wen Chou.

Previously, already under the command of Yuan Shang, Wen Chou had arrived at Yecheng, which was the capital of Jizhou.

Defending Yecheng is equivalent to guarding Jizhou, as long as Yecheng is still under the control of Yuan Shang and others, Jizhou will not be lost.

But if Yecheng is gone, then the entire Jizhou is a plain, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses can use cavalry to quickly rush to all parts of Jizhou.

At that time, even if Liu Zheng's army arrived, it would not be able to stop Liu Bei's cavalry from attacking back and forth.

Therefore, Yuan Shang's responsibility in Yecheng is great.

had to mobilize the most elite troops under his command.

It's a pity that Yuan Shang originally had an army of fifty or sixty thousand, but after a battle with Yuan Xi in Hejian County, many people had already died.

Now Yuan Shang can still mobilize no more than 40,000 people.

There are still some people left behind to guard in Yecheng City, and there are only 20,000 people who can really mobilize Wen Chou.

These 20,000 people, after receiving the news from Liyang County, immediately rushed to this Liyang County without stopping.

Under the leadership of Wen Chou, he came here quickly.

It's just that before he arrived in Liyang, he was stopped by Ma Chao and others.

Speaking of which, Ma Chao is also young and vigorous, if it is an experienced general who leads the troops and sets up an ambush in this canyon, he must conceal his own troops, and wait for the enemy to appear, and then suddenly kill.

Catch the other person off guard.

But here in Ma Chao, he regarded himself as strong, and he didn't have the idea of hiding himself at all, so he directly sent his army to the mouth of this canyon.

Just waiting for the arrival of the enemy with high spirits.

When Wen Chou and the others arrived at the mouth of this canyon, they directly saw Ma Chao guarding here.

The two sides did not even make contact before they started fighting.

On the contrary, it was Wen Chou, who vigilantly scolded his own people and stopped.

Thousands of cavalry, stopped at the mouth of the gorge.

Ma Chao looked at Wen Chou.

"Who's coming?"

Ma Chao looked at Wen Chou, who stopped not far away, and raised his own questions.

Although Ma Chao has little interest in these people under Yuan Shang's command, they are all people who are not very famous.

But Ma Chao thought that he was about to destroy this group of soldiers and horses, and he always had to know who he killed, so he asked the person in front of him.

The vigilant Wen Chou was already like a great enemy when he saw that there was an ambush here.

Now I heard a young general standing in front of the formation, asking who he was.

This somewhat made Wen Chou feel a little insulted.

Immediately stand up and talk to Ma Chao.

"Hmph, who's coming? I should have asked you that, right? ”

"You are Liu Bei's people?"

Wen Chou guessed that the only person who could make a move on Liyang at this time was Liu Bei.

It's just that the young general in front of him, which general under Liu Bei is it, Wen Chou hasn't figured it out for a while.

But no matter who it is, Wen Chou also doesn't think that a person who is not more than a weak crown will be his own person who has been in Hebei for many years, and now after Yan Liang's death, Wen Chou can be said to be the opponent of the first person in Hebei.

"You're smart enough to know that we're Lord Liu Bei's people. But even if you know, you still end up dead. ”

"Hahaha, ignorant child, you know that I am ugly, dare to speak wildly, look at me and kill you!"

Wen Chou's time is pressing, and he is worried about the situation in Liyang County, so he doesn't plan to talk to Ma Chao here.

I want to solve the matter here as soon as possible, so that I can bring people over to support Liyang.

Simply, he rushed directly to Ma Chao.
