Those are 40,000 Xiliang cavalry. They are the majestic Jin Ma Chao, the mighty general, and Xiliang's number one brave general who is most capable of conquering and fighting.
How could such a powerful army, which could make all the princes in the world change their minds upon hearing this, be defeated by Yan Liang's thousands of soldiers and horses?
With Cai Hao's thinking ability, he really couldn't understand it. When he heard the news, he thought he had an illusion.
"Ma Chao was killed by Yan Liang and fled. Yan Liang's victorious army is coming south. Degui, please make an idea quickly."
Zhang Yun repeated the bad news, and he was so frightened that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
After being stunned for a moment, Cai Hao finally recovered from the disbelief. After the surprise, his face was also full of fear.
"I didn't expect this thief to be so powerful. Even the Xiliang army is no match for him. What should I do? What should I do"
Cai Hao had completely lost his sense of control and was mumbling in a panic.
Cai Zhong, who was also frightened next to him, said tremblingly: "Brother, why are you still hesitating? Retreat quickly. Ma Chao has been defeated. What's more, if it's too late, we won't be able to leave once Yan Liang's army arrives."
Hearing what Cai Zhong said, Cai Hao was about to nod immediately, hesitated for a moment, but then turned his face serious.
"How can we, with an army of fifty thousand, be afraid of Yan Liang? Besides, how can we withdraw our troops without the Lord's order?"
Cai Mao's tone was still adamant, but the two people next to him could see that he was trying to save his face.
Cai Zhong suddenly didn¡¯t know what to say and was so anxious that his face was sweating.
Zhang Yun rolled his eyes. He hurriedly said: "Degui's words are wrong. As the saying goes, the general will be outside and the emperor will not give you orders. Degui, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you have the right to make decisions on the fly. Furthermore, Jiangxia is now facing the threat of the Sun family, and our army The withdrawal of troops is also for the sake of the overall situation. How could it be because of fear of Yan Liang? "
Zhang Yun¡¯s words were obviously building a ladder for Cai Mao.
Cai Mao pretended to think about it for a while, and then sighed: "The public promise is justified. Jiangxia is very important, how can I, in a moment of ambition, give an order to the entire army. Immediately move the camp to the south."
Cai Zhong and Zhang Yun were overjoyed. Fang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to convey Cai Mao's order.
The order was passed down, and the 50,000 Jingzhou troops besieging the city hurriedly packed up and prepared to break camp.
However, not long after, the Xiliang army was defeated and the news that Yan Liang's army went south quickly spread throughout the camp.
This shocking news immediately plunged the entire Jingzhou Army into panic.
These Jingzhou soldiers were originally quite afraid of Yan Liang's power. Now, the Xiliang Legion, which they heard was arrogant, was defeated by Yan Liang. You can imagine the shock they received.
"Xiliang Jin Ma Chao was defeated by Yan Liang. If we fight against Yan Liang, there is no way we can survive."
"I heard that Yan Liang's army has a powerful repeating crossbow. It can shoot a hundred arrows at a time, and it can turn a cow into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye."
"Yan Liang's army will arrive soon. General Cai has abandoned us and fled to Xiangyang. We must escape quickly, otherwise we will be the victims of Yan Liang's sword."
¡¡
Rumors suddenly spread among the Jingzhou army.
According to Cai Mao¡¯s plan. Originally, he wanted to withdraw the entire army to Xiangyang intact, but the rumors that spread around disrupted his overall plan.
Before the departure, deserters began to appear in each battalion. Immediately afterwards, each battalion began to rush to retreat south, regardless of the order of retreat issued in advance.
A retreat turned into a disorderly escape within half a day. On the southward road, more than 50,000 Jingzhou troops fought for each other, desperately fleeing south for fear of being overtaken by Yan Liang's army.
When the Jingzhou Army retreated in chaos for less than half a day, Yan Liang led the main force to Chaoyang City.
Three thousand divine cavalry, plus a thousand unarmored iron pagodas, four thousand light cavalry traveled three hundred miles a day and rushed to the southern front with lightning speed.
The Chaoyang City Gate, which had been besieged for more than a month, finally opened again, and Man Chong led his troops out of the city to welcome Yan Liang's arrival.
"Congratulations, general, for defeating the Xiliang army." Man Chong, who came towards him, raised his hands and smiled in praise.
Yan Liang rode forward, patted Man Chong on the shoulder, and sighed: "Bo Ning, you used five thousand infantry to protect the rising sun and held back ten times the enemy. Without you, how could I have done this?" Feel free to fight against the Xiliang army."
With Yan Liang¡¯s approval, Man Chong¡¯s face showed a bit of joy.
The two principals and ministers are in love with each otherAfter feeling regretful, Man Chong said: "Now that the Jingzhou army has retreated and the siege of Chaoyang has been solved, it is better for the general to enter the city and let the soldiers rest for a few days. When the Jingzhou army has completely retreated, it will not be too late to return to the new wilderness."
Man Chong obviously didn¡¯t know the purpose of Yan Liang¡¯s visit.
"There's no need to rest. The guest is leaving. How can I, who is the host, not go see him off in person?"
Yan Liang turned his gaze to the south, murderous intent looming in his knife-like face.
"Could the general want to" Man Chong seemed to understand, and his expression was slightly stern.
A sneer flashed across Yan Liang's lips, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Pass this general's order, and the entire army will move south immediately. The target is Fancheng!"
With four thousand cavalry, plus Chaoyang's thousands of soldiers and horses, Yan Liang had nearly eight thousand troops at hand. Facing the fifty thousand Jingzhou Army, he did not have a numerical advantage.
But according to the intelligence sent back by the scouts, the 50,000 Jingzhou troops were not so much elite soldiers as they were a group of fleeing troops, with no military discipline at all.
Yan Liang then divided his troops into three groups. Hu Che'er and Man Chong led 3,000 cavalry to pursue from the left wing. Wen Chou led 2,000 cavalry to pursue from the right wing. Yan Liang himself led 3,000 cavalry to pursue from the center along the south road. The soldiers and horses attacked Fancheng together.
Three groups of Yan Liang's troops, whose fighting spirit was in full swing, headed south from Chaoyang City and rushed southward with great momentum.
The road from Chaoyang to Fancheng is less than a hundred miles. If Cai Mao's army can retreat in an orderly manner, they can arrive successfully in about a day's march.
However, Jingzhou was in a state of chaos, with each battalion rushing to fight for the road, and the sergeants fighting for each other. There was no order at all, but it slowed down the retreat.
At dawn the next day, we were fifty miles north of Fancheng. Yan Liang finally saw the embarrassed figure of Jingzhou Army.
Looking around, on the road going south, there are abandoned armors, flags, drums and other ordnance everywhere, and even entire vehicles of food, grass and baggage have been discarded.
At the end of the eyes, dust was rising, and countless soldiers with abandoned helmets and armor crowded on the road as if they were going to a market.
"Liu Biao. You haven't learned the lesson several times, so let me teach you, an old guy who doesn't know how to fight, a good lesson."
??In a sneer. Yan Liang's eyebrows were raised, and he was angry with hunting.
"Athletes from the Yan family army, let me kill you happily. Let the Jingzhou army know our reputation¡ª¡ª"
At the command, Yan Liang clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and came out with a long knife in his hand like the wind.
Behind him, the Yan Jun knight, whose blood was boiling, roared out with a loud "kill" sound that shook the sky, and rushed out like a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.
The iron hooves galloped, kicking up dust all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
The tide of shouts of killing soared into the sky, causing the heaven and earth to change color.
In front of the Jingzhou army, Cai Mao was frowning. The soldiers yelled at him not to crowd around, and they didn't realize that there were enemy soldiers chasing behind him.
The chaotic sound filled his eardrums, making Cai Hao very upset. Suddenly, he vaguely heard something strange.
When he turned around subconsciously. The whole person felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"CavalrycavalryYan Liang's cavalry!"
In panic, Cai Mao actually forgot his identity as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and blurted out a scream.
The soldiers on the left and right looked back when they heard the sound, when they saw the rolling sandstorm, the figures surging in the dust and mist, and the high-flying flag with the word "Yan". In an instant, he fell into an unprecedented panic.
"Yan Liang is coming after you¡ª¡ª"
"Cavalry! It's the enemy's cavalry¡ª¡ª"
Frightened cries suddenly arose from the chaotic crowd. The Jingzhou Army, which was already in a state of uneasiness, suddenly lost its will and ran away with their heads in their hands.
"Gong Nuo, you will form a formation of 5,000 Jiangxia soldiers to meet the enemy. You must block the enemy's army. Otherwise, my 50,000-strong army will fall apart."
Cai Hao made the decision without hesitation. When he gave the order, he moved his horse to go first.
Zhang Yun's heart trembled, and he said anxiously: "The enemy's cavalry is approaching fiercely, and our army's morale is low. How can we stop it?"
Cai Mao glared at him and said sternly: "Jiangxia's soldiers are our elite in Jingzhou. How can they stop a mere few thousand enemy cavalry? This is my general's military order. How dare you disobey."
General Cai Mao ordered them to move out. Zhang Yun had no choice but to reluctantly scold his Jiangxia soldiers to form formations to meet the enemy.
Cai Mao, on the other hand, galloped forward with his horse, following tens of thousands of terrified Jingzhou troops, looking towards the direction of Fancheng like ants bursting from their nests.
Jiangxia soldiers are indeed the most elite army in Jingzhou. When most of the Jingzhou army's fighting spirit collapsed, the five thousand Jiangxia soldiers remained.However, he kept his position intact.
Zhang Yun was not an incompetent person in military affairs. He tried his best to keep his mind calm and rushed back and forth to command. In the shortest possible time, he hastily formed a large infantry formation, blocking the way to the main road.
To the north, Yan Liang, who was charging towards the enemy, was already more than 300 steps away from the enemy's formation.
Looking up, I saw the enemy formation blocking the way. Shielders, gunners and crossbowmen were stacked in layers and arranged in an orderly manner. Facing the fierce momentum of our own cavalry, they were actually calm and composed, with no sign of panic. .
Yan Liang was a little surprised that the enemy army did not panic in the face of chaos. He quickly guessed that the troops with some quality in the Jingzhou army must be the Jiangxia soldiers trained by Huang Zu.
Jiang Xia soldiers are indeed the most elite soldiers in Jingzhou. It is a pity that they have such strong soldiers but no good generals. In the end, they are just a group of cannon fodder.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth, and he suddenly shouted: "All the troops, make a circuitous route to the east and attack its right wing."
At the order, the flag bearer who followed waved the flag. When the three thousand cavalry were two hundred steps away from the enemy's formation, they suddenly changed their direction, made an arc, and attacked the right wing of the enemy's formation.
The essence of cavalry is not to rush into the formation blindly, but to seize the enemy's weaknesses and use strong mobility to attack the soft threats of the enemy's infantry formation at any time.
Although Jiang Xia's infantry formation was solidly formed, Yan Liang could see through it at a glance that his army lacked cavalry support and its two wings were a weak threat.
Zhang Yun, who was in the infantry formation, was shocked when he saw the enemy's cavalry turning to attack the flanks, and hurriedly ordered the army formation to turn around.
The soldiers were anxious to turn around, but with five thousand people crowded together, it was extremely difficult to turn around for such a huge creature.
When the military formation had just turned around and the shield bearers and gunners had not yet taken their positions, the cavalry led by Yan Liang had already rushed within a hundred steps.
The rolling iron current, like a black raging wave, came with a roar, carrying the power of sweeping over everything. - Didn't finish reading?
