Chapter 140
In the northeast of Yiyang County, there is a mountain, known locally as Flying Tiger Mountain. From a distance, it looks like a tiger with wings on its back.
Compared with the mountains in the north, the mountains in the south are not so tall and majestic. But the mountains are densely jungled, infested with poisonous insects and miasma, so it is difficult to climb.
After crossing the Flying Tiger Mountain, you can enter the territory of Runan. But no one will go this way, except for some medicine collectors.
However, at this time, a group of soldiers and horses was quietly crossing this mountain.
The commanders of this group of soldiers and horses were Liu Jun, Deng Ai, and Fa Zheng.
For Liu Jun, there is no mountain that cannot be crossed. Since the medicine collector can turn over, then the army will definitely be able to pass.
And from the beginning, Liu Qiao asked Deng Ai to train a special battalion of soldiers and horses, called the mountain battalion.
After Liu Ai told Deng Ai the content of the training and the purpose of setting up this battalion, Deng Ai was very interested.
Taking the road that others have not taken, and winning by surprise, this is exactly what Deng Ai is good at. And no matter which direction Jingzhou sends troops in the future, it will have to pass through the mountains and dangers, and the importance of this battalion can be seen clearly by Deng Ai at a glance. Therefore, in the process of training, according to Liu Jun's method, he was meticulous.
Now it has finally played its role, and the soldiers are in groups of three or five, united and cooperative, whether it is a river valley or a cliff, they cannot be stopped.
Fa Zheng came from Shu, and since the ancient Shu road was difficult, he originally thought that the Yizhou soldiers were the most suitable for mountain marches. But now after seeing these Jingzhou soldiers, I was amazed, and at the same time, my confidence was even stronger.
With such a lord and leading such a soldier, what other strong enemy cannot be defeated?
"Lord, it's getting late, let the soldiers camp! At this rate, we will definitely be able to reach Runan early! The sun had just set, Fa Zheng said to Liu Jun.
According to his plan, the time to arrive in Runan must be just right, not too early or too late.
"Okay, Deng Ai, order to camp on the spot!"
"No!" Deng Ai immediately gave the order, and the soldiers quickly set up simple military tents and buried pots to cook.
Zhao Yun led 3,000 cavalry and more than 6,000 war horses, leaving Xinye and killing Hao County.
Cavalry training was originally a long process, and when Zhao Yun was the commander of the cavalry, Liu Pan had already trained a thousand cavalry with a certain combat power, but he did not understand military formations and coordinated combat.
After Zhao Yun took over, he quickly recruited two thousand soldiers. During training, he discovered the secret of the double stirrup and horseshoe of the war horse, which surprised and excited Zhao Yun and admired the lord Liu Jun even more.
It was very difficult for Gongsun Zan to train Bai Ma Yicong. If you want to practice riding and shooting, you must be able to sit firmly on a moving war horse, but this one, you have to train for a month.
And with a double stirrup, it can be achieved in one day. More importantly, the war horse is nailed to the horse's shoe, and can run boldly with confidence, not afraid of being broken by gravel.
Therefore, although these three thousand soldiers and horses have not been trained for a long time, their combat strength has increased very quickly, and they are fully capable of fighting with the cavalry of the Cao army.
"General, fifty miles ahead, the cavalry of the Cao Army was found and is camping!" A scout Pegasus came to report.
"How many rides?"
"About two thousand!"
"Order the army, form a formation on the spot!" Zhao Yun thought for a moment and immediately gave the order.
"General, are we going to wait for Cao Jun here?" Junzheng Xia Houlan asked.
Xia Houlan and Zhao Yun were fellow villagers and were originally in the Cao army. A few years ago, he attacked Xinye with Xiahou Wei and was captured at Bowangpo, so he followed Zhao Yun. When Zhao Yun formed the cavalry, many of the soldiers selected were guarding Jiangxia at that time, and Xia Houlan was also selected. Because he was good at the law, he became a military right-hand man and became Zhao Yun's right-hand man.
"Two thousand or so cavalry should be all of Cao Cao's cavalry. If we rush over, they will soon find out that it is not good for us to be at ease. So we're just forming a formation here and waiting for them.
"The general's strategy is brilliant!" Xia Houlan nodded after hearing this.
"Xia Houlan, you led a thousand cavalry, hiding behind the mountain bag on the right, and when the two sides were glued, they suddenly killed and defeated the Cao army in one fell swoop!"
"No!"
Fifty miles away, for the cavalry, is not far. After Zhao Yun officially listed it, it didn't take long for him to hear the sound of horses' hooves.
Soon, the figure of the cavalry of the Cao army appeared.
"Tiger and leopard riding, Union State Wolf riding, Western Liang Iron riding, all Cao Cao's cavalry are here, then we will fight to the death!" Zhao Yun's heart was full of excitement.
Once chased by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding all over the mountains, although he had made a name for himself in Nagasaka Slope at that time, he was still unhappy in his heart. This time, he wanted to make Cao Jun realize that the real Han was the strongest cavalry.
"Stop!" Cao Chun, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Xiu gave the order almost at the same time, and all the cavalry stopped.
"Where are the cavalry here?" Zhang Hu's face showed surprise, how could there be cavalry in Jingzhou?
"They have five thousand?" Cao Chun's face was even more full of panic, because a large area of black pressure in front of him was definitely twice as strong as the sum of their troops.
"No, it's not five thousand, only two thousand, it's just one person and two rides!" In contrast, Zhang Xiu's face was calmer.
"One person and two rides?" Cao Chun was a little puzzled.
"At that time, we were fighting Xianbei and Western Qiang soldiers, and the Western Liang Iron Horse was also one person and two horses, and sometimes one person and three horses. Long distances, war horses are easily injured, and there is plenty of food, forage and water, one man and one horse are not enough. But unexpectedly, Liu Jun actually established a cavalry with one man and two horses. "
Cavalry is a money-burning class, and there is a shortage of war horses these days. Zhang Xiu really did not expect that Jingzhou would actually establish such a cavalry.
After Zhao Yun saw the cavalry of the Cao army stop, he waved the big gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "Cavalry, follow me to kill!" "
Kill!"
Four or five thousand war horses, rushing up at the same time, the momentum is much greater than the cavalry of the Cao army, and for a moment the smoke and dust are billowing and the ground is shaking!
"Rush over!"
Cao Chun, Zhang Hu, and Zhang Xiu ordered at the same time. In this case, there can be no slightest timidity, even if the other party is strong, it must meet it, if you escape, it will become a rout and be hunted and killed by the other party unscrupulously.
"Drop the arrow!" The two sides gave orders at the same time, and the soldiers showed their ability to ride and shoot.
Many soldiers who rushed in front fell one after another, and this moment shocked Zhang Xiu, Cao Chun, Zhang Hu and the others.
Their cavalry has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, and their riding and shooting skills are among the best, and the Jingzhou cavalry has just been established, why is the ability to ride and shoot not inferior to them in the slightest?
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
"Throw a gun!"
With Zhao Yun's order, a dense large gun flew over, covering the sky and the murderous aura.
