The White Horses entered the city from the south gate and left from the north gate. Five thousand soldiers attacked Nanpi City and almost lost Boss Cao's life. However, the White Horses lost less than a hundred soldiers.
From this, it could be seen that the White Horses were elites.
They left from the north gate. They thought that they could rest for a while after leaving, but they didn't expect to be followed by the enemy.
Xiahou Chun led his troops and chased after them from the north gate.
Due to a moment of carelessness, the White Horse Conglomerate had been bitten by the First Camp. In just a short while, the White Horse Conglomerate had lost quite a few men. The losses were even greater than what they had suffered in the city.
Zhao Yun's face suddenly became gloomy.
"White Horses, turn around!" Zhao Yun waved his flag.
"General Zhao Yun, they are the first to enter the camp. They are heavy cavalry. Our White Horses are no match for them. We need to take it slow!" Dongfang Ming's face turned pale with fright. He thought that Zhao Yun was so angry that he had lost his mind and was preparing to turn the pier around and engage in a cavalry battle with the vanguard camp.
Although Zhao Yun's White Horses had the same number of 5000 people as the vanguard camp, Zhao Yun's White Horses were light armored. Actually, Dongfang Ming didn't understand why the Yangzhou Army would be so stingy in making light armored cavalry instead of heavy armored cavalry.
Light cavalry had only been seen in the hands of foreign races. That was because those foreign races didn't know how to make iron, so they could only wear leather armor and wield rusty weapons.
In the Central Plains, as long as there was a cavalry force, such as Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they were all heavy cavalry. It wasn't because they were rich.
In a battle of cavalry, ten thousand heavy cavalry could easily tear apart a hundred thousand light cavalry. That was why Dongfang Ming was worried that Zhao Yun would be impulsive.
"Haha, who said I was going to fight with him?" Zhao Yun said to Dongfang Ming with a smile.
"Hmm?" Dongfang Ming didn't understand. Zhao Yun couldn't stop to explain to Dongfang Ming, so he could only use his actions to tell Dongfang Ming, "Follow General Dongfang!" After saying that, Zhao Yun rode his horse forward.
White Horse Follows Righteousness had a stomach full of anger. Now that he heard Zhao Yun's words, he immediately turned around and headed towards the first batch of troops. Fortunately, Dongfang Ming's horsemanship was not bad. Otherwise, he would not have been able to catch up.
"Reporting!" Xiahou Chun was still chasing after the White Horses. The White Horses made Xiahou Chun gnash his teeth in anger. He couldn't catch up with them. If it weren't for the fact that those in heavy armor couldn't run fast enough and were killed by Xiahou Chun, the rest of the troops couldn't catch up.
Xiahou Chun had just entered the camp and couldn't wait to win. That was why Xiahou Chun didn't even greet Cao Cao and directly chased after the White Horse.
Of course, he didn't know that these soldiers were the White Horse Constables. In his eyes, they were the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
Xiahou Chun was annoyed that he couldn't catch up to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
"Reporting, General, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry seems to be heading towards us!" A scout at the front shouted to Xiahou Chun.
"They're heading towards us?" Xiahou Chun was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He originally thought that he wouldn't be able to catch up. Now, they were delivering themselves to him.
"Let's go, let's go. Our contribution is coming!" Xiahou Chun shouted to his subordinates. The pioneers also began to shout loudly.
"Raise the banner, Generals Duel!" Zhao Yun shouted to the generals under his command.
"Yes!" Soon, someone raised the flag. "The Liaodong Iron Cavalry's flag is in front, then the Zhou flag is behind it! Then the Battle flag is behind it! "This meant that they were going to fight.
"General, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry's flag says that they want to fight!" Xiahou Chun's subordinate said to Xiahou Chun.
"Fight?" Xiahou Chun rolled his eyes. Xiahou Chun wasn't stupid. On the contrary, he was simple and honest with a hint of craftiness. "Zhou Hai?"
Xiahou Chun calculated in his heart whether he was a match for Xu Chu. After a long time, he couldn't help but shake his head. He really couldn't beat that damn Fatty Xu, but this so-called Zhou Hai could beat Fatty Xu to the point of vomiting blood.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Big Brother Xiahou Chun decided not to fight.
However, the opponent had already raised the flag of a fight. If he didn't respond, wouldn't it be admitting defeat? Xiahou Chun rolled his eyes and came up with an idea. "Don't waste your energy. We're the first batch of troops. The first batch of troops doesn't fight!" Xiahou Chun shouted loudly.
His subordinates were all stunned. When did their general not fight? Didn't he often call for Xu Huang and the others to fight together? How could they understand that Xiahou Chun was picking on the soft persimmon?
"Fighting is something that boorish men do!" Xiahou Chun's face didn't turn red, nor did his ears burn. "The first to enter a camp is only good at one tactic, and that is to charge, kill, kill, kill!" As he spoke, Xiahou Chun directly raised the banner of a charge. He charged towards Zhao Yun's White Horse Following Justice.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The vanguard battalion behind Xiahou Chun also roared. The entire grassland was shaken. It was like thunder from the ninth heaven. The front row of spearmen raised their spears. The heavy cavalry behind them raised their sabers. They charged towards the White Horse like a sharp sword. The sound of the earth shaking was like an earthquake.
"Shameless!" Zhao Yun coldly snorted as he looked at the first batch of troops. However, Zhao Yun didn't finish his sentence. The White Horses were your ancestors.
"Retreat!" The White Horses were also the best of the best. They immediately charged. However, they didn't charge towards the first batch of troops. Instead, they charged in the opposite direction.
The White Horses galloped. Facing the wind, they threw the gifts in their hands to the first batch of troops behind them.
Arrows made of fine iron fell on the heads of the first batch of troops behind them. Because they were chasing, the rain of arrows was even more convenient.
This time, the situation was very interesting. The arrows fell on the heads of the first batch of troops. More than a dozen of them were caught off guard and were directly hit in the face. They screamed and fell off their horses. They were trampled into meat paste by the horses behind them.
"Damn it!" Xiahou Chun was angry. "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all! "The first batch of troops also began to chase.
"The situation is tense. Retreat!" Zhao Yun shouted to his subordinates.
Dongfang Ming was stunned. What is this called? Isn't this the slogan of bandits? White Stallion Constancy immediately changed its direction and started to run.
"Chase!"
"Giddy up!" The White Horses galloped in front while the first batch of troops chased behind them.
Dongfang Ming looked at the rain of arrows in Zhao Yun's hands. These were all small bows and arrows. Dongfang Ming saw with his own eyes that the White Horses had heavy arrows. The arrowheads were several times bigger than the ones he saw now. Those things should be able to pierce armor. Dongfang Ming didn't understand why Zhao Yun didn't use those armor-piercing bows and arrows.
"Use those things to scare the first batch of troops away. What should we do?" A White Horses told Dongfang Ming.
"Shoot!" Another volley of arrows was shot out. These small gifts caused another dozen to fall off their warhorses, and another few dozen men were killed.
"Run!" The White Horses sped up.
On the land of Youzhou, the ice and snow had not yet melted. However, the two cavalry units that represented the greatest strength in the world had already begun to fight fiercely. One side represented the heavy cavalry. They were used to tear open the enemy's defenses with their heavy fists. The other side represented the light cavalry. They were mostly equipped by the foreign troops outside the Great Wall.
The two sides chased each other across the land of Youzhou for a while.
In the past, the First Ascension Battalion was Yuan Shu's number one heavy cavalry unit. Therefore, the quality of their heavy armor was not inferior to other heavy armored units. After surrendering to Cao Cao, Cao Cao also equipped the First Ascension Battalion with the 15,000 sets of Yangzhou's new armor sent by Gongsun Kang.
The armor made in Yangzhou was really good. It was much easier to wear than before, but its defensive power was not low at all. The arrows in Zhao Yun's hand fell on the cavalrymen's bodies like scratching an itch. If it was not for the fact that the arrows fell between the gaps of the armor or directly hit their faces, they would not be able to cause any damage.
The White Horses were exhausting the first batch of troops. Once the first batch of troops bit the White Horses to death, the White Horses would be caught due to carelessness. Then, the White Horses would die.
Therefore, the commander of the White Horses, Zhao Yun, did not have an easy time.
A few of the slower White Horse Followers didn't even have the chance to scream before they died at the hands of the First Camp. Zhao Yun's heart ached. Those White Horse Soldiers were all elite treasures.
Under the relentless pursuit, Xiahou Chun also discovered a fact. After chasing for tens of kilometers, they had already lost hundreds of soldiers who had climbed up the encampment first.
How could Xiahou Chun bear this?! It should be known that 100 first batch of troops could tear apart a formation of 1,000 troops.
Now, they had lost hundreds of troops.
"Zhou Haiwu will kill you!" Xiahou Chun shouted angrily. The spear in his hand began to hit the warhorse under him again.
The shouts of the men and the neighs of the warhorses continued. Five thousand men were chasing after Cong Yi's butt. Both sides' warhorses were about to vomit blood. At this time, no one cared about their horses. If they lost their warhorses, they could buy and train them again. But if they were caught, or if they couldn't catch up, then it would be a big joke.
The first batch of troops did not just take the beating without fighting back. They also began to take out their bows and arrows and shot at the White Horses. The whole army was filled with arrows. However, the First Wave Battalion was a heavy armored unit after all. Therefore, the number of bows and arrows they brought with them was not as many as the White Horse Cavalry. Every White Horse Cavalry soldier was equipped with 5 barrels of arrows. In one barrel, there would be 24 arrows.
A total of 120 arrows were shot out. Therefore, after shooting for a while, the first batch of troops ran out of ammunition and could only take the beating.
That was not all. Zhao Yun's White Horses did not only have bows and arrows. There was also something else that made Xiahou Chun almost break his teeth from clenching them. That was the crossbow. This was not an ordinary crossbow, but a standard ballista from Yangzhou. It had been modified by Yangzhou's Ministry of Works. After the introduction of cannons, the use of the ballista had decreased. However, it could not be completely abandoned. Therefore, under Liu Ye's guidance, Yangzhou's Ministry of Works had equipped the White Horse with the ballista. They had shrunk the size of the ballista and did not want it to have a long shooting range.
They equipped the ballista on the warhorses. It was guaranteed that every 100-man troop would have five warhorses with the ballista.
A 1,000-man troop would have 50 ballistas. The entire White Horses would have 250 ballistas. These things could shoot continuously.
If each ballista was equipped with five ballistas, it would be able to shoot more than a thousand arrows at once.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun was not so crazy because he had more important things to do. Otherwise, these ballistas would be enough to make the first batch of troops suffer. At the very least, it would not be a problem for them to wipe out a 1,000-man troop. Even the heavy armor of the Yangzhou army would not be able to block the ballistas.
Zhao Yun did not let all of the ballistas shoot. Instead, he let a small portion of them shoot. This made the first batch of troops very happy. The ballista's arrows were like a string of candy foxes. A string was a group and could kill at least two to three people.
The morale of the first batch of troops suffered a huge blow.
"I'm not chasing anymore!" Xiahou Chun was not a fool. He knew that if this continued, he would not be able to touch the enemy. If this continued, his command would be exhausted. However, even if Xiahou Chun did not want to chase, it did not mean that he could leave.
The white horse turned its head around and chased after Xiahou Chun's buttocks to hit him.
Xiahou Chun was suffering unspeakably.
In the end, Xiahou Chun was annoyed. "Bayonet, stab the horses!" Xiahou Chun was going all out. He ordered his soldiers to stab the buttocks of the horses behind him with their sabers.
The sabers went straight into the horses' buttocks.
After pulling it out, fresh blood spurted out. Under the pain of the pain, the warhorse immediately began to gallop wildly. The horse's speed immediately increased by a notch. The White Horse League's hundred-man team was chased and immediately overturned. It was impossible for them to resist.
"Go!" Zhao Yun also endured the pain and ordered the White Horses to run directly. In order to stop the first batch of troops from entering the camp, he even ordered his subordinate to leave the second horse behind to stop them.
But even so, he couldn't stop that madman Xiahou Chun. He spurred his horses again and again. This time, he had to catch up with the White Horse even if he had to give up these five thousand warhorses.
"General, ahead, ahead!" Someone began to guide Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun picked up the binoculars and looked over. A city was in front of him.
On the city, the words Liaodong and Gongsun were shining brightly.
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up. "A city in Liaodong! A city in Liaodong! Let's go! "
Zhao Yun directly led his soldiers to the city in Liaodong.
Yes, this city was really a city in Liaodong. It was close to Youzhou and connected to Youzhou was a border city of Liaodong.
On the border city, the soldiers and horses were originally transferred to Liaoxi Prefecture to resist the Yangzhou army. Therefore, there were not many guards on the city. The city gate was closed.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!" "Zhao Yun's subordinates are carrying the banner of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. Their banners are shining brightly.
The Liaodong garrison on the city wall did not understand what was going on. However, when they saw that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was being chased behind, they obediently opened the city gate and let Zhao Yun's Liaodong Iron Cavalry enter the city and closed the city gate.
This made the first batch of troops outside the city angry. They cursed outside the city and then suffered a wave of arrows from the Liaodong garrison.
