Chapter 1047: The Battle of the Horses

Just crossed to the end of the Han Dynasty until the time of the cavalry crusade against the Yellow Turban, Liu Yi's fame was more based on his martial bravery, and it was also a period when he learned the way of commanding the army and the method of using the army, and after many actual battles and learned a lot of the methods of battle formations in this world from the main generals of the Han army, he began to try to integrate the knowledge of later generations into the management of the army in this world! And one of the most important issues is the withdrawal of troops, throughout the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign war examples, the cause of defeat is mostly because of the rout, when the most powerful army will be lost unified command and become slaughtered, and the art of war is also in line with the principle of first undefeated and then victorious, here is the implementation of his military career.

Whether it is to retreat in order to avoid the enemy's strength, or to lure the enemy deep or to retreat, when the army retreats, it must be able to retreat without chaos, and it is indispensable to want such a necessary block and counterattack. Liu Yi has been crisscrossing the battlefield for more than ten years, and has been known for winning a hundred battles since the beginning of the Yellow Turban, and in the countless previous battles, the characteristics of his retreat in the retreat are undoubtedly the last retreat when Liu Bei and Cao Cao were in charge of the Yanzhou War! Under the leadership of Cao Mengde, there is a favorable location in hand, and the strength of Cao's pursuit can be imagined, but Langsheng led the crowd to make full use of the advantages of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and his own cavalry to resist repeated impacts one by one, but let the other party work in vain.

The retreat of the Yan army in peacetime drills is an extremely important training subject, and this is especially true during the two-year strategy, and the cavalry battalions of the major main forces are equipped with cavalry battalions in addition to strengthening their combat power and mobility capabilities, and ensuring the thoroughness of the retreat is also one of the main reasons. Through various combat examples and actual combat experience, Liu Yi found that the cavalry's blocking and counter-assault are the most suitable for use when retreating, and their mobility can make the enemy's pursuers always have scruples and help the main infantry to widen the distance.

Now that the cavalry strength under his command is the crown of the princes in the world, it is even more necessary to carry forward this advantage, and the formation of the personal guard iron cavalry is not chaotic at all in the retreat, and it can also be changed freely when galloping, which can be seen in the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other battlefield generals. More than 1,000 guards and iron cavalry were divided into four long formations through the control of horse speed and retreated to the valley road, each column maintained a distance of several zhang, which was easy to do in the usual march, but when the war horse was running fast, it was a tense moment of the battle situation, and it would never be possible to do it so neatly without hard training on weekdays, its purpose was not difficult to guess, and it was conducive to the counter-assault of their own support!

Seeing the Yan army retreating like this, Guan Yu already knew that they were by no means defeated, and he improvised and used the strength of the infantry army to restrain the lack of the number of the opponent's cavalry. Yun Chang knew in his heart that the enemy army would never be so easy to deal with, but at the moment of the battle, he could only chase after him to test the opponent's hand, when he saw another pair of cavalry soldiers and personal guards passing by in the opposite direction, the intention of the Yan army was immediately clear, and he had to admire the Yan army's generals and cavalry tactics.

The sound of golden drums in the Yangzhou army formation was loud, which was a signal to order the Danyang elite soldiers to stop the pursuit and retreat, at this time, the four teams of cavalry battalion soldiers under the personal leadership of Liu Yi and Zhao Yun had already passed through the analysis left by the guards when the iron cavalry retreated, and quickly killed the enemy pursuers! The retreating cavalry on opposite sides of the two streams of people did not form any constraints on the comrades who rushed forward, nor even damaged the speed of their impact, on the contrary, they also had a certain cover effect on the suddenness of their killing! This is a brand-new tactic for the officers and men of the Yangzhou Army, but it is already the Yan Army's daily practice.

The use of the cavalry's impact and mobility to alternately cover the retreat is the main topic of the main cavalry exercises of the Yan army such as the Iron Cavalry Battalion in the two-year strategy, and its purpose is to suddenly attack to repel the pursuit of the enemy army and ensure the safety of the main force retreating, and there are many changes in the different arms of the enemy army. If the pursuing enemy is mainly infantry, but the cavalry can do this, once their own cavalry does not have the upper hand, there will be infantry soldiers and soldiers to form a cooperation with it, today's battle of crossing the horse ridge due to the sudden incident, Liu Yi has no infantry in his hands for a while, but before the Feiyan cavalry impact was fruitless, Guan Yu replaced the Danyang elite soldiers, but gave them a chance to take advantage of it, and the enemy changed and I changed it can be said that I can deal with it easily.

As the strength of the broken back, a strong general is an indispensable element, Liu Yi, who has recovered during the period when Tai Shici led the guard battalion to block the other party, and Zhao Yun, the third general who commanded the cavalry battalion, have become the two sharpest arrows in this array, of course, and Fang Cai Guan Zhang and other generals, they are also hidden after the first array of soldiers to attack, and the first soldier also depends on the battlefield situation, and it is by no means simply a battle formation to rush to the forefront of the whole army.

Speaking of judging the situation and the ability to respond, Guan Yu was already extremely fast, but the Yan army's counter-assault came too quickly, and without waiting for the Danyang elite soldiers to stop the pursuit and set up the formation, thousands of cavalry battalion soldiers had already galloped in, and at the moment when the two sides came into contact with each other, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun quickly rushed out and clashed with the front of the other party with the momentum of the tiger entering the flock! The blood dragon halberd and white dragon spear brought endless cold light to kill the surrounding enemy troops one by one, and the two brothers are the top three tiger generals in the world, and they have been connected with each other for many years.

Danyang elite soldiers were the elite of the Han Dynasty back then, and after several years of training by Guan Yu, they were strong in combat power, but the innate disadvantage of foot soldiers and cavalry head-to-head battles would not change because of this, the enemy's tactics changed wonderfully, and the timing was even more unexpected than they expected, even if everyone fought back desperately, it was difficult to stop the opponent's momentum, not to mention that there was such a powerful pointed head as Liu Yi and Zhao Yun in the cavalry battalion? For a while, the momentum of retreating and pursuing was completely reversed, and thousands of Danyang soldiers were killed under this counter-assault, and they were killed and wounded, and they completely fell into the downwind!

"The old general and I led the Feiyan to attack." In the face of the battle situation at this time, Guan Yu drank coldly, urging the war horse under his crotch to kill it personally, and the old general Huang Zhong was also neck and neck with him, fortunately, Guan Yu also reacted quickly, and the obedience of the Danyang elite soldiers was excellent, and the people who were defeated by Liu Yi and Zhao Yun were only more than a thousand people who rushed to the front, but they must not let this momentum continue, otherwise the casualties will not be ignored for the time being, and the blow to the morale of the army by the enemy is immeasurable.

The Yan army's beautiful move back to the horse pistol in the retreat was not expected by Guan Yu in advance, and the use of cavalry by Liu Yi and Zhao Yuntai and Shi Ci exceeded his expectations, and it was difficult for the Feiyan cavalry to match it alone. But now is by no means the time to praise the other party, the most important thing at the moment is to block the enemy's momentum, if you want to stop the other party from rushing to kill, you must stop its sharpest arrow, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun joined forces even with Guan Yu's conceit and would never dare to be right, this is a melee between the two armies rather than a fighting general in front of the battle, Liu Zhao and the two will not stick to the rules, Zhang Fei was injured by Liu Yi's dragon slaying blow at this time can only help his veteran Huang Zhong! The two teamed up to block each other, and the Feiyan rode to the strong, and then saved the battle through the cooperation between the infantry and the horsemen, and in an instant, Guan Yu had a comprehensive consideration, and the Yan army's alternate cover was difficult to repeat even if it was exquisite.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Huang Zhong were all killed, and the Feiyan Cavalry behind him made a comeback, Liu Yi's eyes lit up and secretly praised the other party's proper handling at the same time, and at the same time, his fighting spirit increased greatly, even if the enemy general saw the opportunity and flew quickly, but the impact of the Yan army had already been achieved, how easy was it to contain it? At least the local advantages achieved at the moment should be maximized! Thinking of this, the voice of the loud and brave was undiminished, and the blood dragon halberd was already all over Guan Yu's body that was rushing over, and almost at the same time, Zhao Yun's white dragon silver spear also faced Huang Zhong's phoenix pattern cold sword, and the fierce battle that was not inferior to the battle of Liu Zhang was launched among the four generals.

Killing the pursuers back is the opportunity for the Yan army's cavalry battalion to rise up, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong want to entangle Liu Yi and Zhao Yun to block the impact of the other party, how can Lang Shengzilong not know in his heart? They also had to fight it to make it difficult to be distracted, and the cavalry battalion that pursued them with victory had an imposing advantage over the Feiyan cavalry who rushed to block the attack. If Zhao Yun chooses, he will not hesitate to pick Guan Yu, when he crusaded against Yuan Shu, he had a fierce battle with Huang Zhong under Shouchun City, although his sword skills are not under Guan Yunchang, but the characteristics are old and spicy and calm, when the eldest brother is slightly injured, he is more powerful than Huang Zhong, and the power is often decisive and Guan Yu within the number is much more thoughtful! However, he can't choose an opponent in the current military situation, and Guan Yu is rushing to Liu Yi when he rushes forward, and Lang Sheng will never show weakness!

In the battle of Xu Nan's raid that day, facing Liu Yi, the second son of King Yan, who was known as the talent of Tianzhong among the rising stars, although Guan Yu did not underestimate the enemy, it was difficult to give full play to his strength at the beginning, after all, no matter how brave Liu Xin was, he was only his junior, and he had a glimpse of whether he was worthy of the name. But now in the face of Liu Yi, he will never be like this again, and the first general of Fengyun also has great pressure on him, who dares not to go all out when facing King Yan? Even if he was already injured, it was average.

The fighting generals in the melee are not the same as usual, and may not be as exciting as the single battle, because no one can use all their energy on the opponent, and you need to pay attention to the battle situation around you from time to time, and the requirements for the generals will be higher. However, tonight's battle between the four generals in Guomaling is destined to be different, compared to Liu Yi and Zhang Fei's fierce battle, it will be a peak duel from another angle.

Shihe, the lightning-like Shihe, there is no too much back and forth, there is no unnecessary mutual temptation, the four of them took out their best martial arts from the beginning, and the result is that everyone is injured! It is Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who have always been as calm as a mountain, both of them are sparks splashing in battle, from the moment the eldest brother made a move, Zilong already knew his intentions, and forced the other party to retreat with injuries for injuries, so as to win more time for the impact of the cavalry battalion! And the ending also proved that Liu Yi chose correctly, the same injury to him and the third brother may not be light and Guan Huang's second general, but the first to retreat is the other party, they can't face Liu Yi and Zhao Yun at the same time and then take into account the enemy cavalry that came to the encirclement, and at this time the Yan army did not choose to pursue but retreated again, so back and forth won precious time for this blockade!
