Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 708
This Hongmen is actually the old place where Liu Bang and Xiang Yu held their Hongmen Banquet, so it is a place of some special significance.

Going forward from the Hongmen is Bashang, the eastern suburb of Chang'an City (where Bailuyuan is located). It can be said that after Hongmen, you can directly face Chang'an City.

It's just that on Hongmen's side, there are two generals Cheng Yi and Mawan who belong to Han Sui's forces, and they are stationed on a relatively high slope in Hongmen with nearly [-] cavalry.

They were considered to be the most peripheral army sent by Han Sui, perhaps Han Sui sent them to test the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's army.

As a result, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, and Jiang Wan sent scouts to inspect the garrison of [-] cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, and Zhang Liao rushed directly to it with nearly [-] Qingqi.

Zhang Liao, who rides the famous horse "De Lu", can be regarded as the first horse. I don't know that this Lu horse has played the role of a horse king guiding ordinary war horses, or it has the bonus of special famous horse treasures in the Three Kingdoms game system. Wan Qingqi's horse speed was indeed a bit faster than normal.

At this time, the scouts of Zhu Wei's army discovered the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, and the scouts of Cheng Yi and Ma Wan also spotted Zhu Wei's army, but before the scouts of Cheng Yi and Ma Wan arrived Ma went back to report that Zhang Liao's ten thousand light cavalry had already caught up with them and surpassed them to kill the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry stationed in Chengyi and Mawan.

Although Cheng Yi and Ma Wan are stationed on a high slope in a plain, as a cavalry unit, their camp is relatively simple. It can be said that their camp is more like a temporary camp for the Qiang and Hu nomadic tribes, with no surroundings. There are no camp walls and fences, so that they can mount their horses and attack at any time.

However, facing Zhang Liao's sudden attack with light cavalry at this time, they couldn't find a way to stop them. Therefore, after Cheng Yi and Ma Wan discovered the abnormality, although they hurriedly urged the cavalry to mount and prepare to fight, they had already Some are too late.

Just as Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's five thousand Liangzhou cavalry were in chaos, Zhang Liao led more than ten thousand light cavalry to kill them. Almost in the process, they shot a feathered arrow at Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's five thousand Liangzhou cavalry.

For a moment, the feathered arrows in the air were like a rain of black arrows, and they fell from both sides to cover the five thousand Liangzhou cavalry of Chengyi and Mawan.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

"Uh...ah...", "Run away...", "Help!"

As the rain of arrows fell, at least half of the [-] Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were shot by feather arrows. Injured by feather arrows, he uttered various cries from his mouth.

However, the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao did not take advantage of the situation to charge towards Chengyi and Mawan's Liangzhou cavalry formation, but circled behind them, crossed each other, and headed in the direction of Chengyi and Mawan's chaotic cavalry. The scattered formation approached, and another round of feathered arrows was fired.

This action inevitably scared Cheng Yi and Ma Wan out of their wits. Although the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan can also play riding and shooting, most of them need to stop the horse before they can hold the horse with their legs Archery.

It can be said that the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan mostly used assault to kill the enemy's formation directly as their main tactic, and naturally they would not use the Mongolian mangu evil tactics of later generations.

However, now, Zhu Wei's cavalry does not fight them at all, but shoots feather arrows from a distance. In addition, there are at least nearly ten thousand cavalry on Zhu Wei's side, which means they have to face nearly ten thousand feather arrows. The covering shooting of arrows is really hard to resist.

The first round of Feather Arrow attack was probably because the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were not used to it, so they were surprised for a while, but as Zhu Wei's light cavalry reversed their attack again, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan finally reacted.

But at this moment, nearly half of the [-] Liangzhou cavalry they led had been lost in the sudden attack. Although there were still two or three thousand cavalry left, they did not dare to counterattack in the direction of the nearly [-] Zhu Guard cavalry.

To be honest, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan couldn't control the cavalry at this moment, but they each reluctantly gathered hundreds of cavalry around them, and then galloped away in the opposite direction from where Zhu Wei's cavalry was rushing. Trying to escape the attack range of the Zhuwei cavalry's feather arrows.

It can be said that Zhang Liao led nearly [-] Qingqi in a round of attack, and defeated Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's [-] Liangzhou cavalry with feather arrows, allowing Cheng Yi and Ma Wan to escape with only a thousand cavalry.

So Zhang Liao divided two or three thousand cavalry to stay, and forced the remaining Liangzhou cavalry to surrender. He took the remaining light cavalry and continued to chase and kill them in the direction where Chengyi and Mawan fled.

Seven or eight thousand light cavalry were also scattered at once, like a big net cast towards the direction where the thousands of Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were fleeing.

Feathered arrows were also shot out by the light cavalrymen drawing their bows, which inevitably caused the Liangzhou cavalrymen who were fleeing in front of them to be hit by arrows from time to time and fell off their horses, which made Cheng Yi and Ma Wan even more frightened. stopped.

It's just that Cheng Yi and Ma Wan forgot one thing, just now Zhang Liao led the light cavalry around the place where they were stationed, so now Cheng Yi and Ma Wan are fleeing in the same direction as Zhang Liao led the cavalry direction.

As a result, Cheng Yi and Ma Wan fled for a while, but suddenly found that there was a black mass of heavily armored cavalry waiting for them to send them up.

However, Zhu Wei's light cavalry pursued them so closely and fast, they couldn't help them dodging and evading, so Cheng Yi and Ma Wan who fled to the front with their horses couldn't help sweating.

Cheng Yi and Ma Wan are now in their thirties and able to become famous figures in Liangzhou. Naturally, they are also elites who grew up during the rebellion with Han Sui and Ma Teng. Combat experience is not enough.

But they didn't expect that they were defeated by Zhu Wei's cavalry at all, and now they are in a desperate situation with nowhere to escape.

"Mawan, what should we do, I didn't expect Zhu Wei's cavalry to be so powerful, and there are heavy armored cavalry blocking us, I'm afraid we won't be able to charge through!"

Cheng Yi yelled at Ma Wan, the thousand cavalry he and Ma Wan had brought out could be regarded as their confidant cavalry, so the armor they wore was much neater than those ordinary Liangzhou cavalry.

But even so, the cavalry they led could only be regarded as light cavalry, and it was impossible to compare with the heavy armored cavalry in front of them who wore iron leather armor all over their bodies, and even their horses were covered with iron leather armor.

To be honest, even the armor worn by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan may not be comparable to the equipment of the heavy armored cavalry of Zhu Wei in front, so there is no way to fight...
