Outside Puyang City,

Bai Ma Yi began to move, and the five thousand Bai Ma Yi did not directly attack Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw's troops in the outer city, but instead circled around to the right front of the army formation, and slowly advanced to the right flank; The first to make contact with Yuan Shaojun was Zhao Yun's subordinates who appeared in front of the left, and a thousand light horsemen quickly inserted themselves into the left flank.

"Just in time!" Yan Liang looked at this team that appeared out of thin air, and a little disdain flashed in his eyes. Waving the command flag vigorously, the spearmen on the left flank quickly formed a spear formation, and a group of crossbowmen from the main army in the center was drawn to deploy behind the spear array; At the same time, he ordered the head of the formation to rotate to the right, and strive to face the three-line crossbowmen at the head of the formation against Zhao Yunjun. The left flank did not follow the whole formation, because the movement would inevitably destroy the spear formation. The left flank was disconnected from the rest of the phalanx, and a gap appeared.

Obviously, Yan Liang, as the vanguard, fought a decisive battle with this sudden team head-on in front of Puyang City - in Yan Liang's opinion, the Yuan family's army, which had the advantage of Jizhou's bow and crossbow, was enough to deal with these five thousand cavalry with eight thousand.

Cavalry is indeed the nemesis of infantry, but it is not absolute. With the cooperation of strict formations and troops, the cavalry's charge advantage can only be lost halfway!

In such a battle, Yan Liang has been verified from the many encounters with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou!

The cavalry was getting closer, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves sounded almost in the ears.

Yan Liang's eyes widened, waiting for the moment when Zhao Yunjun rushed into the spear formation on the left flank like a suicide. However, at this time, he suddenly discovered that Zhao Yun's light horsemen were all carrying big bows and quivers, but they did not hold them!

"Not good!" He blurted out, instantly understood the intention of the enemy horseman, and roared loudly: "The left flank immediately begins to release arrows!" Don't let them come within a hundred steps! ”

The arrows flew into the air and landed on the ground one after another—Zhao Yun's cavalry changed their itinerary at the moment when Yan Liang gave the order to release the arrows, and they were extremely accurate out of the range of the crossbowmen. One by one, they continued to gallop like a line, grazing the edge of the range of the bow and crossbow, swept in front of the left flank, and rushed to the rear of the formation in an instant, without stopping, when Yan Liang gave the salvo order to the crossbowmen behind the formation, these cavalry had already turned to the right flank!

That's impossible!

Yan Liang looked at this astonishing change in front of him in disbelief, and his heart was suddenly shocked: such exquisite cavalry skills, in addition to the Ma family's experienced Ma family light cavalry, only the elite white horse righteous servants of Youzhou Gongsun Zan can have such a thousand tempers!

And now, looking at the cavalry who were mostly still white horses, as well as the very familiar white-robed generals before the cavalry formation, Yan Liang suddenly thought of a person who had almost faded from his memory: Zhao Yun with a white horse and silver spear!

I still remember Wen Chou told him that in the battle at Jieqiao, he was forced to retreat by a young general armed with a silver spear who led more than 200 cavalry on white war horses! And that person, after disappearing in Youzhou, became famous in Sili and Xuzhou!

According to Gao Ran's investigation for many years, Gongsun Zhan's sudden establishment of the White Horse Yicong was because of the young general's work. And the rumors in the world say that he has married Jin Lan with Ma Chaoyi, the Panlong Crouching Tiger, the god of war who ranks second in the hundred generals' spectrum. So, didn't he say that he appeared in Yanzhou at this time.......

No matter how surprised Yan Liang was at this time, the crossbowmen on the right flank in his formation could not see this astonishing change at all, and no one could have imagined that Zhao Yun's thousand cavalry would turn around from behind the formation, and for a while, none of the soldiers on the right flank made a correct response.

The sound of a bowstring faster than a horse's hooves sounded!

Whoosh!

The longbow far exceeds the range of the infantry's crossbowmen, and its strength is even stronger. The dense rain of arrows shot in an instant, hundreds of spearmen screamed and fell down, the chaotic fluctuations expanded, and the right rear corner of Yan Liangjun's prominent phalanx collapsed instantly!

The 1,000 cavalry under Zhao Yun never stopped, they turned a small circle towards the right rear of Yan Liang's army in place, quickly adjusted and fired a second round at the right rear corner of the phalanx that had not yet recovered from the chaos, and then spun again, swept over the right flank of the formation, and quickly retreated to the right front of the phalanx.

They did not converge with the main force of 4,000 led by Gan Ning and Tai Shici, but passed in front of the army formation and turned to the left front again.

The four thousand main forces under Gan Ning and Tai Shici began to accelerate, following Zhao Yunjun's anti-clockwise speed around the crossbowmen at the head of the formation, and inserted themselves into the chaotic right rear of the military formation.

When the three of them passed by, they all saw the tacit understanding and appreciation in each other's eyes. This kind of combat with fewer hits and more skill is really in line with their minds!

On the other hand, Yan Liang, at this time, he could barely breathe, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

The enemy is too fast!

Yan Liang hurriedly ordered the supervising team to step forward to maintain order, and after slashing more than 60 soldiers in a row, more than a dozen junior officers such as Du Bo and Shi Chang, he barely recovered the right rear corner that had collapsed. Looking at the 4,000 main force that was a step late, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart: if the 4,000 assault cavalry with long arms in their hands took the opportunity to break into the formation from the gap just now, I was afraid that the whole army would be defeated.

It's a pity that Yan Liang was happy too early. The four thousand main forces didn't seem to see that Yan Liangjun had restored order, and still crashed straight into the right flank of the impregnable wall.

Yan Liang held the Lingqi tightly, calmly faced, and waited. At the moment when the enemy entered the firing range, he suddenly waved the command flag and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" ”

The drums beat several times in quick succession, and a dense rain of arrows flew from behind the spear array. But in that moment, the four thousand main forces were like spirits dancing in the air, and they suddenly turned their horses and ran back. Except for a dozen or so cavalrymen who were a little slower and fell off their horses, most of the arrows missed again.

Yan Liang was dumbfounded, this kind of riding technique is simply indescribable in words!

At the same time, Yan Liang was also furious, he felt that the cavalry team in front of him was completely playing tricks on himself!

The raging flames of war have burned into Yan Liang's eyes, he has already clenched the big sword in his hand, and is always ready - as long as the enemy army does not fight with him head-on, he will lead his five hundred elite cavalry, rush out, kill the generals of this cavalry, and let this superb cavalry force collapse without a fight!

But at this moment, there was an earth-shattering shout from the left wing, Yan Liang suddenly woke up, and secretly shouted that it was not good: Shi Cai's own attention was all attracted by the right wing, ignoring Zhao Yun's 1,000 cavalry and archery cavalry!

Turning his head to look, he saw Zhao Yunjun pressing towards the moving left flank again!

However, at this time, Yan Liang was no longer very jealous: as long as there were enough sword and shield men and crossbowmen, the four thousand assault cavalry regiment would not be afraid, but it might be the cavalry and light cavalry led by Zhao Yun who was in trouble. If Zhao Yun can be solved, this entire white horse cavalry group will definitely retreat without a fight.

Thinking of this, Yan Liang was patient and made a decision. He raised a small flag and waved it, and the five hundred horsemen lurking in the formation received the flag and quietly mounted their horses. One by one, they were armed with halberds and ring-headed knives, and they were all prostrate on their horses, trying to hide themselves as best they could. At the same time, he handed over the order flag to the deputy general Cen Bi, and stared at Zhao Yun with his eyes: Wen Chou is dead, and the unfinished battle between him and Zhao Yun will be completed by himself!

Moreover, although the cavalry and light cavalry are fierce and fast, in terms of individual close combat, they are far less thick than the armor and sharp weapons of the assault cavalry. This time, if Zhao Yun plans to repeat his old tricks, he will definitely pass by the left flank and copy to the right flank after the formation. And Yan Liang's decision was to lead these five hundred assault cavalry to kill by surprise, and guaranteed that the 1,000 cavalry and light cavalry under Zhao Yun would not be able to defeat the army!

'Come again, I look forward to it, you are really the white-clothed and brave Zhao Yun. This time, Yan Liang didn't shout again, but he was already holding back a fire in his heart: If you are Zhao Yun, I can let you know that in the battle of the boundary bridge back then, it was just that Wen Chounian was still young and his subordinates were merciful!

It's a pity that Yan Liang forgot that Zhao Yun, who was still young, could fight with Wen Chou for a while. At this time, his spear skills have been perfected, how can it be compared to that year?

Zhao Yun's 1,000 cavalry light cavalry swept over the left flank at a rapid speed again, but Yan Liang roared, and the five hundred assault cavalry who were concealed straightened up on horseback together, spewing out violently from behind the formation like lava!

And Zhao Yun, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth........
