Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 727 Ma Chao's Curiosity
Facing the appearance of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry led by Zhang Liao, Han Sui's army immediately lost their fighting spirit and began to flee again.

When the cavalry of Han Suijun faced the cavalry of Ma Teng's army, they could naturally fight head-to-head with each other, but facing the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun who liked to hide in the distance and shoot arrows, the cavalry of Han Suijun really had no countermeasures.

Therefore, if the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun led by Zhang Liao surrounded them and Ma Teng's army attacked, then the cavalry of Han Sui's army might be wiped out here.

Han Sui could quickly figure out the pros and cons in his mind, so he led his troops to retreat without hesitation. Although the horses of his cavalry were very tired now, the terrain here was absolutely no match for Zhu Weijun's light cavalry. Even if you want to fight, you need to find a suitable terrain.

Although the terrain of Feng Yi Mansion is basically plain terrain, Han Sui also knows the location of some rivers. Maybe he can lead his cavalry to withdraw to a river and then find a place to cross the river for defense. Then he can at least use a small amount of The troops blocked the pursuit of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry and Ma Teng's army, allowing most of his troops to rest temporarily.

As long as his cavalry and horses regain their strength, he can take the remaining soldiers and horses with him and run away. Even if he doesn't return to Liangzhou's old base camp, he can also escape to Bingzhou and find the familiar Qiang tribe for rescue.

It's a pity that although Han Sui's thoughts are clear, the cavalry under him can't run anymore.

However, the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun, because of the addition of the famous "Delu" horse driven by Zhang Liao, had a speed that surpassed that of ordinary cavalry troops, so Zhang Liao and the light cavalry soon caught up with Han Suijun.

Feathered arrows followed the charge of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry, and flew towards Han Suijun's cavalry. From time to time, Han Suijun's cavalry could be seen falling from the horse.

Of course, at this time, Ma Tengjun would not stop at the same place to watch the show, so Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pound and other young generals of the Ma family also led their cavalry to catch up behind Han Suijun.

Seeing such a scene, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Candidate naturally had no choice but to participate, so Ma Tengjun also bit tightly behind Han Suijun again.

The morale of Han Sui's army finally collapsed completely. It can be said that Han Sui's gathering of the defeated troops and preparation for a fight to the death had lifted the last breath of Han Sui's cavalry, but this spirit was completely drained by the appearance of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry. .

Seeing the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun charging up from all around, seeing a feathered arrow shot by the opponent, and seeing the cavalry of Ma Teng's army chasing up from behind, many cavalry of Han Sui's army couldn't help stopping their horses, losing the courage to fight again, and simply Surrendered to Ma Teng's army.

At least he can still live if he surrenders to Ma Tengjun at this moment, otherwise he can only become the soul of the dead under the arrows of the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun.

This also includes the forces of Li Kan and Cheng Yin who were only attached to Han Sui's army. Under the current situation, they certainly don't want to follow Han Sui all the way to the end.

Besides, they were already behind the retreat of Han Sui's army. Even if they followed Han Sui's army to escape, they would fall behind and become cannon fodder.

So driven by the surrender of nearly a thousand cavalry led by Li Kan and Cheng Yin, many cavalry of Han Sui's army who were originally in front of Ma Teng's army surrendered. Only Yan Xing led hundreds of cavalry and fled in the direction of Han Sui's retreat. up.

It can be said that Ma Teng's army has completely become a reserve army to receive Han Sui's soldiers. Just now, Ma Teng's army chased and killed Han Sui's army all the way here, but it has not made Han Sui's army afraid of surrendering. Surrender.

For this reason, Ma Chao was a little surprised, but at this time these cavalrymen of Han Suijun who surrendered naturally couldn't ignore them, so he sent Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Candidates to take care of these cavalrymen of Han Suijun who surrendered. As for himself, he still took Ma Dai with him. , Pang De and other direct descendants of Ma Teng's army continued to chase and kill Han Sui's army.

In fact, Ma Chao still has a small thought in his heart, that is, he wants to see how the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun fights, because he can see that the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun is somewhat unusual.

Ma Chao was originally a good cavalry general, and he grew up with Ma Teng on horseback since he was a child, but he had never seen the cavalry tactics of Zhu Weijun's light cavalry, which can use bows and arrows as the main means of attack on a galloping horse.

Ma Chao could clearly see that when the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun in front were chasing and killing the cavalry of Han Sui's army, they used a feathered arrow to capture the lives of the cavalry of Han Sui's army. This cavalry and shooting tactic really surprised Ma Chao.

Ma Chao felt in his heart that if he faced such a cavalry, it seemed that he could only be beaten, but he had no way to fight back.

In the original pursuit battle between the cavalry, if they couldn't catch up with their opponents, they could only watch them flee. This is why Ma Teng's army chased Han Sui's defeated troops before, but they didn't get much results.

But now Zhu Weijun's light cavalry chased and killed Han Suijun's cavalry, even if Han Suijun's cavalry galloped on horseback, they would be chased and killed by Zhu Weijun's light cavalry with bows and arrows.

It's no wonder that when Ma Teng's army chased and killed Han Sui's army before, not many people from Han Sui's army surrendered, but now as soon as Zhu Weijun's light cavalry appeared, a large number of Han Sui's cavalry surrendered voluntarily.

Naturally, Ma Chao also saw the special saddles and double-footed horse pedals equipped by Zhu Weijun's light cavalry on their horses. As Ma Chao, who is very familiar with the characteristics of cavalry, quickly understood the meaning of this equipment for cavalry.

No wonder Zhu Weijun's light cavalry can shoot arrows while running. It turns out that they have such special equipment.

At the same time, Ma Chao also found that the horses driven by the light cavalry of the Zhu Wei Army seemed to have special performances. When the horses driven by these light cavalry were running, the sound of horseshoes seemed a bit strange.

It is naturally impossible for Ma Chao to know the existence of horseshoes now, but Ma Chao already feels that there must be something strange under the feet of these war horses. This is not a normal sound of horseshoes.

Everything made Ma Chao a little curious about Zhu Weijun's cavalry.

Although Ma Teng's army and Zhang Xiu's heavy cavalry marched to Yunyang County together, the armies of both sides still went their own way after all, so Ma Chao didn't have much chance to see the horse equipment of those heavy cavalry clearly.

In other words, Ma Chao was just a bit surprised by the iron-inlaid leather armor equipped by the heavy armored cavalry and the iron armor on the horses, but he didn't pay much attention to the high saddle and double horse pedals.

But now that he actually saw Zhu Weijun's light cavalry in battle, Ma Chao felt that the equipment of these two cavalry was unusual.

Now Ma Chao is really surprised by Zhu Weijun. He already knows that he and Pang De were called by Zhu Wei to be transferred to use. Yu, you can take a good look at Zhu Weijun's situation in Zhu Weijun.

Therefore, Ma Chao has some expectations about going to Zhu Wei to transfer in the future. He only hopes that he will not be put under house arrest somewhere after being transferred, then he may not be able to hold back...
