During the Three Kingdoms period, Huang Zhong became famous only when he was old, and he was still excellent in martial arts. He could fight Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

 The old Huang Zhong is still unstoppable. It is conceivable that Huang Zhong, who is in his prime at this time, is so strong that he is probably enough to shackle Lu Bu.

 At this moment, when Huang Zhong heard that there were [-] cavalrymen from the northern tribes surrounding Gaonu City, he was not only not afraid, but instead regarded the [-] cavalrymen from the northern tribes as his first prey.

 "Ma Chao, do you have the guts to compete with this general?"

 Huang Zhong turned his head to look at Ma Chao, and said with a smile.

 "Oh? Han Sheng (Huang Zhongzi), what are you going to do?" Ma Chao also became interested.

 "It's very simple. You and I each lead [-] cavalry to fight against the rebels outside Gaonu City. Whoever takes the head of the enemy's general first will be the winner."

 "No problem, but there must be some good luck in the competition."

 "So, how about betting on three jars of Hundred Flowers Brew?"

 "Okay, that's it."

 Ma Chao responded happily, his eyes also full of strong confidence. When it comes to cavalry combat, he has never been afraid of anyone.

 Baihua Niang is a top-quality wine that Xu Feng found when he returned to Xianyang this time to fulfill his promise to Guo Jia and ordered to collect good winemakers and old wines in Guanzhong.

 It is brewed by an old lady in Xianyang, an ancestral craft.

 This kind of Baihua Niang is really mellow, even Guo Jia, who is very picky about wine, fell in love with Baihua Niang.

 Immediately, Xu Feng ordered that the woman be recruited into the palace as Xu Feng's court winemaker.

 Not only Guo Jia, but generals like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao also love wine.

 After tasting Baihua Niang, they also fell in love with this wine.

 It's a pity that Baihuaniang's wine-making materials are relatively rare, and the process is complicated, and it cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time, so Baihuaniang is now in Xianyang and has no market at all.

 Only in Xu Feng's palace, there are some hundred flower wines offered by the old lady.

 This time before Huang Zhong and Ma Chao left, Xu Feng gave it to them, and Jia Xu, each of them had ten altars of wine, which were now regarded as bets by Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.

 "Haha, let's attack now!"

 Immediately, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao divided the [-] cavalry of the Qin army into two, and each led a part, and killed the [-] Northern Zhurong army outside Gaonu City.

 Rumble!

 The horses were galloping, the ground was trembling, and the two led the cavalry to kill them quickly.

 Oh oh oh!

 When the two led the cavalry and rushed to the foot of Gaonu City from the south, they were immediately spotted by the army from the north and sounded their horns.

 A few miles to the east of Gaonu City, on a relatively low hill, a large group of Northern Rongnu cavalry gathered here, surrounded by a middle-aged man on horseback.

 "Two cavalry from the Qin State are coming, You Rong and Wu Zhong, you two should go over with [-] cavalry each, and finish them off."

 This middle-aged man is the younger brother of the new Yiqu King, named Yiyu, who was named Zhehou by the Xinyiqu King, and is also the commander of the [-] Yiqu cavalry outside Gaonu City.

 At this time, he found that Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, the cavalry of the Qin Army who came rushing from the south, gave orders to the two generals beside them.

 "promise."

 Immediately, the two army generals led their [-] subordinate cavalry to meet Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.

 And Yu Yu was not idle, and immediately mobilized other cavalry under his command to surround Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, not wanting to let these two cavalry of the Qin army who were so bold and seeking their own death escape escape.

 It has been two days since Yu Yu led [-] cavalry to Gaonu.

 In the past two days, the guards of the Qin Army in Gaonu City did not go to battle, but defended the city, leaving Yu Yu a little helpless.

 After all, for the Rong people like them, what they are best at is cavalry combat, and their soldiers are basically trained on horseback.

 But if they are allowed to attack the city, it will be really difficult for them.

 Therefore, when Yu Yu saw the cavalry of the Qin Army taking the initiative to kill him, he was very happy.

 Compared with those soldiers of the Qin army who huddled behind the solid city wall and fired cold arrows, Yu Yu preferred to destroy the Qin army in field battles outside the city.

 These Rong cavalrymen thought that their riding skills were the best in the world, no one could beat them, and no one could beat them in riding battles.

 Rumble!

 On the wilderness south of Gaonu City, several cavalry teams were galloping, and it was obvious that the number of cavalry on Yiqurong's side was much larger.

 It's just that, with so many cavalry in Yiqurong, it is more troublesome to mobilize them, and it will take some time.

 Therefore, Yu Yu, the commander-in-chief of Yi Qurong, first sent two of his generals to lead the army to face Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.

 And he used this time to mobilize the remaining Yiqu cavalry to prepare to outflank Ma Chao and Huang Zhong.

 Yi Yu was very ambitious. He wanted to eat up these two cavalrymen of the Qin Army in one bite and not give them a chance to escape.

 Unfortunately, what Yu Yu didn't know was that what he was after were not two lambs, but two fierce tigers!Who eats who is not certain!

 "kill!"

 Soon, the two generals named Qu Rong each led [-] cavalry to confront Ma Chao and Huang Zhong's cavalry.

 "Fire arrows!"

 As the cavalry on both sides continued to approach, the cavalry on Yiqurong's side launched the first attack, using their good cavalry and archery skills to shoot arrows at the cavalry of the Qin army.

 Whoosh whoosh!

 Arrows shot at the cavalry of the Qin army, and many of the cavalry of the Qin army fell off their horses.

 "shoot!"

 Soon, the cavalry of the Qin Army also launched a counterattack.

 Every cavalry of the Qin Army is equipped with an arm crossbow, which can also shoot at the cavalry of Yiqurong.

 Moreover, because the Qin Army cavalry was equipped with stirrups, these Qin Army cavalry rode on horseback, and their shooting accuracy became higher.

 "Look at the arrows!"

 At this time, Huang Zhong also took out the big bow on his back, stretched the bow and set the arrow.

 Whoosh whoosh!

 Following three sharp whistling sounds that were almost connected together, three arrows were shot out by Huang Zhong.

 As soon as Huang Zhong came up, he used his special trick, Lianzhu Arrow.

 "Ahhh!"

 There were three screams from the opposite side. Huang Zhong's three arrows all hit a soldier named Qu.

 "Han Sheng, good at archery."

 Ma Chao, who was not far away, was also shocked after seeing the three arrows shot by Huang Zhong, and admired Huang Zhong's archery skills.

 The two cavalry were already very close, and after they were only allowed to shoot a round of arrowheads, they were about to collide.

 "Turn!"

 But at this time, the general on Yi Qurong's side gave an order to quickly turn around with the cavalry behind him.

 The cavalry team that let them gallop turned around and ran eastward, but did not charge head-on with the cavalry of the Qin Army.

 "Fire arrows!"

 Then, the Yiqu cavalry who had completed their turn fired arrows at the Qin cavalry again.

 Because the Yiqu cavalry team changed from a vertical column to a column.

 This allowed each of their cavalrymen to shoot arrows that could attack the Qin army cavalry who came over, causing a lot of damage to the Qin army cavalry.

 Law law!

 "Ah!"

 There were constant screams of war horses and screams of soldiers. Many galloping horses fell down, and many cavalrymen of the Qin Army fell off their horses.

 Whether it's a war horse falling down, or a cavalry being shot down by an arrow, they are basically certain to die.

 This is also the best attack tactic of these northern cavalry, cavalry and shooting!

 Due to the poor quality of the weapons in hand, these northern warriors of this era seldom rush to kill the enemy directly.

 Their cavalry used the flexibility of their horses and their soldiers' riding and archery skills to attack the enemy.

 This is somewhat similar to the "kite flying" tactics used by the Mongolian cavalry in later generations. At this time, these northern warriors have already begun to take shape.

 If there is a last resort, these northern cavalry will charge the enemy infantry.

 The main damage they caused to the enemy's infantry did not come from their weapons, but from the collision of their horses.

 Originally, in this era, even Daqin hadn't acquired mature iron smelting technology, so it could spread iron weapons and make weapons.

 Not to mention, it was the barbarians like Zhurong from the north.

 If the weapons are not good, the cavalry is not suitable for charging, even the cavalry of the Qin Army before.

 Many of the weapons used by these Yiqu cavalry soldiers are bronze weapons and even bone tools.

 Most of the arrows are bone arrows, polished with various bones.

 What these nomads lack most is salt and iron. They don't have that much iron, and they don't have the smelting technology of Daqin.

 They don't even know how to cast bronze, so they can only use bones to make knives and arrows to kill the enemy.

 However, the bone arrows used by Yi Qurong's cavalry were also very sharp and could easily pierce through the skirts of the Qin cavalry.

 If there are Qin cavalry who can wear copper armor, they can resist bone arrows.

 It's a pity that only a small number of generals in the Great Qin Dynasty can wear copper armor. Other ordinary soldiers of the Qin Army are all wearing black cotton clothes, and some of them can wear leather armor.

 This kind of defense cannot completely block the bone arrows shot by the Yiqu cavalry.

 "Rush over and cut them off!"

 Facing the fighting style of the Yiqu cavalry, Huang Zhong roared and slapped the horse's buttocks hard to make the horse gallop faster.

 Huang Zhong led the [-] cavalry brigade to gallop at a faster speed, and directly caught up with the Yiqu army in front of them.

 Boom!

 "kill!"

 The next moment, the cavalry of the Qin army under Huang Zhong rushed directly into the cavalry of Yi Qurong and cut them off.

 "Kill!"

 These cavalrymen of the Qin Army roared excitedly, each of them was excited, and waved the saber in their hands, slashing down fiercely.

 "Ah!"

 A series of shrill screams came from the mouths of the Yiqu cavalry soldiers again.

 These Yiqu cavalry were overtaken by Huang Zhong's cavalry, and after they were intercepted, they immediately became the prey of these Qin cavalry.

 The sharp iron blades can cut off the bronze knives or bone knives of these Yiqu cavalrymen and kill them.

 The cavalry of the Qin Army used stirrups to allow them to slash and slash immediately, and the knives were fatal.

 "What? How could this be?"

 This way of charging and killing the cavalry of the Qin Army also surprised Yi Qurong's general You Rong.

 They had also fought against the cavalry of the Qin army before, but at that time, the cavalry of the Qin army also mainly used cavalry and shooting.

 The cavalry of the Qin Army in the past also focused on riding and shooting, instead of rushing directly into the enemy's formation to kill.

 Moreover, because the cavalry of the Qin Army rode and shot with arm crossbows, it was inconvenient for them to load arrows on horseback.

 Therefore, the cavalry of the Qin Army in the past were not as good as these Yiqu cavalry in terms of cavalry and shooting attacks.

 But now, with stirrups and iron weapons, the Qin cavalry has really become the main force of charging and encircling the battle, supplemented by riding and shooting.

 After all, it is easier to defeat the enemy army than riding and shooting.

 "kill!"
