Han counter current

Zhang Xiu waved his horsewhip, then pointed forward and shouted: "Don't stop, the goal is Guangling, keep going..."

On the other side, Liu Bei and his generals were waiting for news on the tower. They had reached an agreement with Chen Feng, and Chen Feng would deal with Zhang Xiu's cavalry.

It's just that after the agreement was reached, Chen Feng remained silent.Now, Zhang Xiu's cavalry is aggressively attacking Guangling, which makes Liu Bei very anxious.

"The enemy army is rushing to attack from a long distance, and the front of the army is difficult to last. My lord, it is enough for our army to defend the city."

Jian Yong cupped his hands and analyzed: "General Lou Chuan has received an early warning from our army, and he must have news soon."

"Brother, I am willing to lead a thousand cavalry to ambush Zhang Xiu."

Zhang Fei has been leading the cavalry to fight recently. Although the number is small, he has an advantage in dealing with the small Cao army and enemy scouts. He has taken advantage of it these days. Now that Zhang Xiu is leading three thousand cavalry, he is also itchy up.

"No, our cavalry was formed with great difficulty. If we fight against Zhang Xiujun, we will probably suffer heavy losses. Yide, don't be reckless."

"Report,,,,,," a personal guard ran over and shouted: "My lord, a letter from General Lou Chuan."

"Hmph, finally there is news. I thought he was scared away." Liu Bei took the letter and took a closer look, his eyes widened.

"What's the matter, brother, what did that guy say?" Guan Yu noticed that his brother's expression was a little strange, and he was worried that Chen Feng would take advantage of it at this time.

"Chen Feng wants us to let Zhang Xiu go, there is no need to stop him, he will finish all the cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command in Guangling."

"Ignorance, arrogance, since he doesn't want our help, then we don't care."

Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied with Chen Feng, especially after being beaten up by Huang Zhong last time, he had a bad impression of Chen Feng.

"However, he wants us to find a way to stop or delay Cao Jun's follow-up troops." Liu Bei frowned and said, "He wants us to buy him more than an hour."

"It's really funny. He thought he was something. Although we formed an alliance with him, we didn't say that we should obey his command in war. Brother, he is deliberately trying to consume our strength.

To deal with Cao Cao, we are not strong enough in the field, and we can only win if we stick to the city. If we go out of the city to stop Cao's large army, we may suffer a lot of losses.

Isn't Chen Feng very powerful, so let him handle this matter by himself. "

"That's right, he doesn't look at what he is, and wants to order us to send troops without giving any benefits." Zhang Fei agreed with Guan Yu's words, at least, he thought Chen Feng was not a good person.

"He promised to give us a thousand horses when things come true,,,,,,"

"A few war horses, how many?" Zhang Fei subconsciously wanted to slander Chen Feng, but when he heard that there were a thousand war horses, he quickly shut up.

"A thousand horses, he said, are war horses, not horses. This guy is so generous."

Liu Bei half-closed his eyes, revealing a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Cavalry is a sharp weapon on the battlefield. Our army lacks cavalry, so we have been under the control of Cao Bandit. Over the years, all our wealth combined cannot match the iron cavalry under Cao Bandit's command.

If Chen Feng can really give us [-] war horses, plus our current cavalry, and then think of a way, we hope to form [-] cavalry.

This is three thousand cavalry.I think that Sun Bofu was invincible in all directions across Jiangdong back then, and he only relied on the thousand cavalry under his command.If I had three thousand cavalry, I would not be able to go anywhere in the Central Plains.

Hmph, although Bandit Cao has thousands of cavalry, he is as elite as tiger and leopard cavalry, but less than three thousand cavalry, we are short of cavalry, Chen Feng is a good planner, he is sure that we will not refuse. "

"Brother, it's just a matter of blocking the enemy's follow-up troops. It is entirely possible to do it if we prepare early."

Zhang Fei was moved. He was a cavalry general, and he had an inexplicable love for cavalry. If Chen Feng could really send him a thousand horses, he would definitely be willing to take the risk.

"My lord, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long term, if,,,,,,"

"No, you can't delay, Yide, you lead a thousand cavalry out of the city immediately, and you must find out the whereabouts and number of Cao's follow-up soldiers and horses.

Yun Chang, you lead an army of five thousand under your command to ambush on the enemy's only path. If Zhang Xiu's army arrives, let them leave.

This is an opportunity for me to expand my strength, and Cao thief has always looked down on our army's field combat capabilities. Today we will take this opportunity to compete with Cao thief.Two brothers, you go and make arrangements, and I will lead the rest of the soldiers to help. "

"promise,,,,,,"

A thousand war horses may not sound like much, but if Liu Bei were to buy a thousand war horses by himself, he might not be able to buy them even if he used up all his current wealth.

You must know that even big princes like Cao Cao or Yuan Tan can buy only a few hundred war horses from the north or west of Liaoning each time, and sometimes it is difficult to buy even dozens of war horses.

This is not just a question of money. The priceless market makes war horses extremely precious.

Even on the grasslands, some large tribes have thousands of horses, but it is estimated that there are less than a thousand horses that can really be used as war horses.The preciousness of war horses can be imagined, so Liu Bei couldn't help but be moved.

"Look, it's Liu Bei's army, we have been spotted..." Hu Che'er pointed to the cavalry on the hillside ahead and shouted: "Be on guard, be on guard..."

"Do not make mistakes,,,,,,"

Zhang Xiu stopped his subordinates' plan to fight Liu Beijun.

"The leader of the army is Zhang Fei. It seems that he has a thousand cavalry under his command. Leave him alone. The warriors who are good at shooting protect the periphery and continue to march towards Guangling. Don't stop..."

"There are nearly three thousand cavalry, but the horses seem to be more than three thousand."

On the hillside, Zhang Fei watched Zhang Xiu's cavalry troop galloping wildly, feeling jealous in his heart.Compared with the opponent's cavalry, the cavalry on your side can only be regarded as rookies.

At least, among the 1000 people under his command, no more than 50 of them can do horseback riding and shooting, but among the 3000 people on the other side, it seems that there are 800 people who can do it at a rough look.

"As expected of Xiliang iron cavalry, elite cavalry, I am afraid that the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao thief's command are nothing more than this.

Chen Feng, you are so rampant, you even said you want to deal with these [-] cavalry on your own, hmph, let me see how you end up, don't be beaten by Zhang Xiu to find your teeth all over the place,,,,,, "

Guangling, Chen Feng's subordinates are now in a state of combat readiness. Although he doesn't bring many soldiers and horses, fortunately he doesn't care about the gains and losses of the city. Therefore, most of his troops are now concentrated on the coastline, and only the scouts are scattered. Inquire about news.

"It's almost here, there are still thirty miles..."

"Okay, Zhang Xiu is coming, but first let him see the strength of our army, otherwise, if he underestimates it, it will be difficult to deal with it later."

After hearing the scout's report, Chen Feng immediately made a series of arrangements. Although he admired Zhang Xiu very much, he still had to give it to him.

In the distance, Cao Jun's pursuers had already fought against Liu Beijun. Because of the hasty pursuit, Cao Jun's pursuers were also lightly dressed, and they didn't even bring many bows and arrows.

Many cavalrymen only took a handy weapon. In this way, when they encountered Zhang Fei's blocking and then fell into Guan Yu's ambush circle, they naturally suffered a bit.

"Bowman, shoot,,,,,,"

Guan Yu's command is to release arrows. What he has to do now is to slow down the enemy's speed. He must ignore any provocations from the enemy. After all, his family background is not strong, and he can't bear any unnecessary losses. rise.

"Follow the instructions and go straight to the beach,,,,,,"

A thousand archers on both sides of the road shot arrows. Some Xiliang cavalry who wanted to leave the main force were forced to go back. Zhang Xiu’s 3000 people are now exhausted. After running for so long, they even have to eat and drink on their horses. .

Although he didn't fight against other people, one can imagine the hard work in the middle, so now Zhang Xiu only wants to reach the destination as soon as possible, and he doesn't need to care about other things for the time being.

"Listen to them, that's right, my lord is by the sea, and we're almost there."

Xi Zuo, who was in charge of contacting Zhang Xiu, explained to Zhang Xiu: "The enemy's pursuers are not far from us, we can't waste any time, let's go, if we get entangled by the enemy's pursuers, it will be troublesome."
