"It's just that... The punishment is so slight that I'm afraid the soldiers of Jingzhou will not accept it!"
Kuai Liang sighed: "Cai Mao's use of military force is just like this. If Zhou Mu continues to appoint Cai Deyao as a general, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will not be able to take care of himself in the future."
Liu Biao knew that there was something in Kuai Liang's words. Cai Mao's military use was of average standard, which was not comparable to those famous generals in the hundred battles. However, the key was that Cai Mao was the eldest brother-in-law after all, and he was more comfortable with his own people.
"Well, I understand zirou's suggestion. I'll give it more consideration." Liu Biao nodded.
Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Kuai Liang knew that most of his suggestions were invalid, so he had to sigh and then got up to leave.
The Nanyang war has entered the end stage, but the Hebei war is in the ascendant.
Zhuo county.
Thirteen thousand steps of riding slowly in the wilderness, the army with two general flags, one side is horse, the other side is Xu. It is Ma Chao sent by Liu Ye and Xu Huang.
"Gongming, you are from Hedong. Do you know something about Gaolan?"
Ma Chao, riding on his horse, turned his head and asked Xu Huang.
Xu Huang nodded: "I know a little bit. Gao Lan is a famous general in Hebei Province. It is said that he was famous in Hebei Province in the early years. He has a good military skill. We must not be careless."
Ma Chao chuckled: "no matter what famous general he is, he is just a local chicken and a dog in front of my Xiliang iron horse!"
"Newspaper!"
...
"look, brother."
"It seems to be the Hebei army. Is it the reinforcements coming from the direction of Youzhou?"
There are five or six Xiliang cavalry hiding in the sparse woods. They discuss each other in a low voice and look forward several miles. We can see a large army with more than ten thousand people moving slowly in the wilderness. Although we can't see the flag on it, we can identify it from the color of the armor. This is indeed the Hebei army.
"Hey, keep an eye on you." Wu, one of them, sneered: "someone personally reports to the two generals. Whatever he is leading the army, he will be defeated."
Several Xiliang cavalry are smiling. They believe it. No one in the world can defeat Xiliang cavalry. What are these Hebei cavalry? It's just a local chicken.
"Drive!"
As soon as he got on his horse, he galloped away.
But not far from Gao Lan's eyes are very good, far away to see a dark shadow galloping out, it is a cavalry.
"Well?"
A cavalry suddenly appeared in this place, and when he saw the large army under his command, he ran away. Maybe it was the enemy.
"The first and second of a team, pursue the enemy!" Gaolan shouts an order, and the cavalry team nearby immediately rushes out two horses, a total of 20, galloping toward the south.
The four Xiliang cavalry who stayed in the forest saw this scene and immediately jumped on their horses with serious faces.
"The enemy is coming!"
"Let's go. There are too many enemy troops to fight with them."
The four Xiliang cavalry turned around and left, not entangled with the Hebei cavalry. However, the Hebei cavalry could not let go of this opportunity to bully the less. They chased after the enemy like wolves, showing an excited look.
"Don't worry..." an experienced Xiliang cavalry whispered: "wait until the enemy catch up and then return to shoot, you know?"
"No!"
The Xiliang cavalry deliberately slowed down their speed. As a result, the twenty Hebei cavalry chased closer and closer. They were less than a hundred steps away from the Xiliang cavalry in front of them. Their faces were gradually excited. They reached out and held the horse's head one after another, waiting for a fatal blow after approaching.
"The enemy is catching up!" A young Xiliang soldier, a little nervous.
"Don't worry, our bows are not powerful yet." The veteran firmly said, "wait a minute, and then turn back to shoot after hearing my order."
Hearing his words, several Xiliang cavalry suppressed and waited in silence. Gradually, the distance between the two sides was approaching 80 or 60 steps...
"OK, turn around and shoot!"
The old soldier of Xiliang suddenly gave a big drink, twisted his body, clamped his horse's belly between his legs, turned around, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed at a Xiliang cavalry who was in front of him.
Although his body fluctuated up and down with the constant bumping of the horse's back, his arms were extremely steady and almost motionless. After aiming at a Hebei cavalry, he shot out instantly.
Whoosh!
I saw a wolf tooth arrow flying out, the distance of 60 steps reached in a flash, and with a whoosh, it hit the front door of the Hebei cavalry. The sharp arrow shot through his left side of the face, snorted directly, and fell into the horse.
As a result, the rest of the cavalry did not shoot a single arrow in the grass.
The other two arrows hit a Hebei cavalry one after another, and two fell from their horses. Both of them hit the key points, and the archery was very exquisite."Zhang Liu!" "Don't be nervous. Take a deep breath and continue shooting!" the veteran said to the nervous recruits
"Yes
Zhang Liu, a new recruit, sighed. He drew a wolf toothed arrow from his quiver and put it on the bow string. He aimed at a fierce looking Hebei cavalry and concentrated his attention.
Whoosh!
Another arrow flew out, but the arrow was much better than the last one. It hit a Hebei cavalry in the abdomen. The sharp arrow pierced through a layer of leather armor and penetrated into the enemy's flesh. However, the Hebei cavalry was fierce in nature and did not fall behind.
Xiliang iron cavalry has been fighting with qianghu for a long time, and qianghu cavalry is good at riding and shooting. Therefore, it is natural for Xiliang iron cavalry to learn riding and shooting, learn from the skills of foreigners to control the barbarians, and their skills of archery on horseback are quite good.
In fact, both Bingzhou Tieqi and baimayi can ride and shoot with one hand. However, although the newly established Youzhou cavalry can also ride horses, their skills in riding and shooting are very poor. For a while, they can only watch these Xiliang cavalry turn back to shoot arrows, but they have no choice.
"Damn it!"
The chief Shi Changchang angrily said: "rush up, we more than ten people, still afraid of them?"
Xiliang iron cavalry then ran back to shoot arrows, but inevitably slowed down the speed, and Hebei cavalry finally catch up, by this time has been Xiliang Tieqi shot nearly half.
Seeing that the enemy troops were catching up, four Xiliang iron cavalries hung their bows behind their backs, grabbed the four meter long horse's head from the horse's back, put it under his armpit, and then turned around.
"Kill!"
Although the four Xiliang iron cavalry are more than a few enemies, they are not afraid to kill the Hebei cavalry at the moment.
Hebei cavalry saw that the enemy troops rushed forward beyond their ability, and they gave out a cold laugh one after another. Then they went forward to meet them, and more than a dozen horses were covered with cold light.
