September 20th, the darkest moment before dawn.

The five thousand Wuhuan cavalry led by Zhao Yun had breakfast one hour ago, and then quietly marched outside Liu Yan's camp.

To the south of Wuyang County, the valley between Longquan Mountain and Minjiang River is not too wide. Liu Yan's army has gathered 50,000 or 60,000 people, spreading it on a front that is more than ten miles wide. There are 5,000 people per mile. This density and depth are not easy to find the weakness to break through.

Therefore, the suddenness of the action is not that important. In contrast, it is still a strict formation and keeping it neat is more important.

Zhao Yun was also prepared for this battle, because before leaving Jiangzhou, in just a few days, military advisor Li Su made some adjustments to his troops and arranged double-sided rope ring stirrups. Later, Jiangyang, Wudao, and Nan'an had no chance to fight in the field, and there was no chance to verify the actual combat.

But Zhao Yun tested it himself before setting off and found that the stability of riding and shooting has been improved, so he dared to try to raid the camp with long trenches and low walls today. Even if he couldn't rush in, he could concentrate his superior forces to suppress the shooting, and at least knock down Liu Yan's morale and further bluff the enemy's main force to continue to attract the southern line.

The double-sided stirrups and the saddles of the wooden saddle bridge are both technologies that are very helpful for riding and shooting and even riding a gun. Li Su had been holding it in his hands before, and he was considering that this kind of thing is very difficult and it is easy to leak after using it and was learned by the enemy.

Liu Bei's camp has not yet mastered the horse-producing land, and the current cavalry mainly relies on the 10,000 people brought in, and Yu Fuluo, who is currently grazing in Yinpingda. The previous battles in Sichuan did not require cavalry to play, so Li Su only equipped his mount with double-sided rope ring stirrups, on the excuse that he was not good at riding and was too lazy to clamp the horse's belly to save effort.

This time, he has reached the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain, and the day in the east of Baidi City should be taken down by Guan Yu's side troops. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River were completely blocked, and business travelers were under the supervision of Liu Bei. Due to the difficulties of the Shu Road, as long as the military technology in Shu is not used for external combat, no one outside knows it for two or three years, so he can try it out.

It also takes time for the troops to run in. New equipment needs to be equipped, and there is a process of familiarity. What Li Su has taken out now is still a rope ring, which is not completely complete, so he can produce so quickly. He can produce tens of thousands of hemp rope rings in a few days. In the future, he will definitely have to be customized? It will be made into a metal stirrup like a bicycle pedal.

...

"Arrange the array? Spread out a roar of people and go forward to prepare to scratch the hook and break the grid!"

Zhao Yun came to the two arrows in front of the formation? Finally, he confirmed that the enemy had not had time to bury pickets and antlers in the long chasing? It was just a pure earth pit and earth wall, so he issued an order to attack.

Thanks to his fast arrival? After all, Liu Yan only had two days to establish a camp, and the time was too hasty? All fortification construction has priority? We must first dig trenches and pile up the earth walls, and then bury some pickets to form fences while piled up the earth walls.

The construction of deer antlers has a lower priority, but it has actually begun, but the front is more than ten miles wide? Only a small half of the range is paved with deer antlers? For cavalry with strong mobility, it is equivalent to not. Zhao Yun can carefully observe and pick up the unpaved section of the road.

Hundreds of cavalrymen came out, divided into many strands, and threw out the hooks tied with hemp ropes on their hands? They hooked the pickets buried in the low walls and urged the horses to pull them back hard. The wooden stakes two or three feet deep in the soil were loosened and collapsed under the joint force of many war horses, forming a gap.

"Zhao Yun is robbing the camp! Come in a formation!"

Liu Yanjun's reaction was quite fast. When he heard the noise of breaking the barrier, he had already come out one after another. But it still took time for Liu Yanjun to line up? So it was too late to shoot arrows in advance to block it.

Liu Yan was not feeling well these days? He was afraid of noise and disturbance, so he was in charge of the back camp and there was no general under his command.

The first three battalions were responsible for supervising the war, all of whom were under his command. Wang Lei, Cheng Ji, and Qin Mi were not materials for leading troops. Especially Qin Mi, he was a verbal person. In comparison, Wang Lei, Cheng Ji was more reliable, at least he was good at rectifying military disciplines.

Anyway, when fighting with Zhao Yun, Liu Yan never expected anyone under his command to fight with Zhao Yun. As long as he rectifies the team well and exerts the discipline of the group fight.

On the other side, the thunder cavalry that Zhao Yun, who was leading the thunder cavalry, had already rushed into the camp through several gaps, and began to shoot in the chaos, pull out the sabers to kill, and fought fiercely for a while, and the sound of killing was shocking. The Wuhuan thunder cavalry was not used to sprinting with long spears. Most of them were cavalry within thirty steps to shoot and kill the enemy and drag the sabers to follow the trend.

However, Zhao Yun changed his status as a leader, and instead supervised the formation for a while, saw the composition of the opposite army clearly, and then chose a key attack and killing place.

"Wedge-shaped formation, the side camp at the foot of Longquan Mountain on the right wing of the target, follow me!"

Zhao Yun waved his silver spear and the white horse jumped out first, and then thousands of thunder cavalry followed closely.

The enemy is large and we are few, and the troops of the two sides are ten times different. If the whole line is blooming, it will definitely be a death. Even if these Wuhuan cavalry have experienced many years of experience in war, it will be useless.

So Zhao Yun only deals with one enemy group. He knew that 50,000 or 60,000 enemy troops could not gather at one point to fight him, so on the local battlefield, his military strength was at most one to two or one to three.

The unlucky guy he selected was Liu Yan's confidant Wang Lei. His camp was located on the east side of the army, backing against the hillside on the eastern foot of Longquan Mountain. The soldiers under Wang Lei were the 10,000 Qingqiang and barbarian soldiers recruited by Liu Yan for a large price.

The reason why Zhao Yun chose him was because through a brief observation just now, he found that there were almost no spearmen among these barbarian soldiers, but mainly swords, shields and other short weapons.

There is no way, the barbarians in Yizhou are almost all good at mountain warfare. Even if the Qing Qiang soldiers have the word "Qiang" in their name, they are completely different from those of the Qiang soldiers in Liangzhou who are good at cavalry fighting.

The Qing Qiang in Yizhou was later the "Qing Tang Qiang", located on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at the junction of Sichuan and Qinghai. Anyone with a little bit of geographical knowledge knows that in the northwest of Sichuan, there were still some administrative divisions in the northwest of Sichuan. Liu Yan's Qing Qiang soldiers came from that place, so they were also mountain warriors with short weapons as the main force.

In contrast, Liu Yan's "Dongzhou soldiers" composed of tens of thousands of exiled Han people in Yongliang were crossbow soldiers, spearmen, and they were very good at arraying against cavalry. Since Zhao Yun discovered this feature, of course he had to pick soft persimmons that were not good at restraining cavalry.

The Qingqiang soldiers were known as the best elite under Liu Yan's tent, but today there was no mountain war for them to fight. They had to go to the Meishan Plain to resist the cavalry charge, and they had to leave it to fate!

"Hurry! Come and stand by! Zhao Yun attacked the camp, and his troops were only one-tenth of our army. If you hold on for a quarter of an hour, Cheng Zhizhong's reinforcements will come to help the battle!" Wang Lei looked at Zhao Yun rushing over in person, and was so panicked that he hurriedly cheered the barbarian generals who were leading the troops around him.

The commander who led the ten thousand barbarian soldiers today was the two barbarian kings of Yinping County, named Yang Ju and Qiang Duan, Yang Ju led the Sou soldiers, and Qiang Duan led the Qing Qiang soldiers.

They also used money to do things. They were inspired by the king's fatigue and were not afraid at all. They calmly faced Zhao Yun. After Liu Yan entered Sichuan, he killed the famous local sects, confiscated the land slaves and distributed them to the scholars of Dongzhou, or exchanged them for money and grain to the barbarian king. The loyalty of these two types of people to Liu Yan was still very guaranteed.

"Kala—Puchi—Suchi~" Zhao Yun's spear came out like a dragon, a little cold light arrived first, and the momentum was not fierce.

After breaking the first shield wall, it was like a slaughter of a cattle, entering the gap with no thickness, and it was easy to have enough freedom. The opposite side splattered blood, but there were few times of the sound of weapons, and it seemed that they were very precisely passing through the gap angles of the enemy's weapons. Without too much action, they harvested more than a dozen lives.

The length of weapons is too big. Infantry weapons are shorter than cavalry. For cavalry experts, there is no need to dodge and block. Anyway, all the enemies were poked to death before they could cut them.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel an illusion in his heart: "Did these barbarians who grew up in Wenshan, western Sichuan have never fought with large-scale cavalry in their entire lives?"

The Wuhuan Cavalry behind him was naturally happy to get the advantage. Taking advantage of the gap that Zhao Yun had broken out, he rushed in, tearing the gap even bigger and bloody as soon as possible.

Countless Qingqiang barbarians rely on their experience to jump to the shield and try to make up for the disadvantages of height and impact. However, as soon as they jumped up and pushed the shield, even the person and the shield were knocked away by the horse. Even if they took a thirty kilograms of iron-faced shield, they could not withstand the impact inertia of the 500 kilograms of horse.

A shield array without a spear but only a shield is of no help in preventing trampling.

The most despicable thing is that after the Wuhuan cavalry broke through the shield formation, they had not planned to stop and fight with you in hand, but rushed out from behind the formation as soon as they touched. The subsequent troops stopped the formation and began to move closer and shoot arrows, and switched to close together and close together to switch freely.

The array was loose and was trampled by the cavalry. The array was tighter. Once the shield wall was broken, chaos would appear, and the arrows would be shot and the rain of arrows would take away more lives.

After all, these elite soldiers suffered the loss of "after being recruited by Liu Yan, they had never fought a battle other than mountain wars", and they lacked experience and response.

"Zhao Yundou is going to be rampant! The White Horse Lord Yang Ju is here! Your Lord Liu Bei has no faith in his loyalty and promised the land of the counties along the Baishui coast to Yu Fuluo, seized my mountains, forests and grasslands, and took my axe!"

After all, Yang Ju is a barbarian king. He still has horses and has soldiers with both hands. Seeing that his athletes were trampled and killed by Zhao Yun, he was furious and bloody, and he couldn't help but rely on his brute force to kill them.

He said that he was the "Black Horse Lord". The place name of this "Black Horse" was a county in Wenshan County, which was newly established in the northwest of Shu County, and was adjacent to Yinping County. Therefore, Yang Ju's land was granted by Liu Bei to Yufulu, the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, to be grazed and collected taxes by Liu Bei. No wonder Yang Ju was so loyal to Liu Yan, because he was hurt by Liu Bei's vital interests.

Similarly, Qiangduan called himself "Guangwu Lord" and his territory was in a county in Yinping County. His interests were also damaged, but they were not as miserable as Yang Ju. He thought he could not beat Zhao Yun even if he fought alone, so he took advantage of Yang Ju's chance to kill a horse sword and attacked together.

"Drink!" Yang Ju penetrated his whole body with a life-threatening fighting style of exchanging life for life, and slashed Zhao Yun's forehead with a fierce axe.

Zhao Yun's gun did not have any blocking posture, and was still stabbing the front with a flat end. He just raised the arm slightly, and the horizontal position of the gun rod was as high as the eyebrows. It was no longer a shot of a shot of a shot of a flat shot, but a shot of a high shot.

Although the war horses are running wildly, this gun is like a tank main gun barrel equipped with a two-way stabilizer in later generations, allowing your horse to run. The relative height and angle of the gun bar to the ground are always unchanged, and it is stable and sturdy. It is also like a hurdle master who won the Olympic champion. No matter how the lower limbs take off, the overall center of gravity is always maintained on a horizontal line.

"Ding~" With a light sound, Zhao Yun's gun barged Yang Ju's giant axe in the upper road. The force angle at which the two blades intersect was very small, so that Zhao Yun could still hold the gun in one hand.

"Can he limit my big axe with a gun in one hand? Then I push the blade slightly down and cut off your four fingers before beheading!" Yang Ju's heart was shaking, and he finely adjusted the angle of the axe blade and continued to sweep.

However, just as he smiled grimly on his face and saw that his axe blade was about to cut off Zhao Yun's four fingers holding the gun, Zhao Yun instantly let go, then shrank his hand an inch down, and then moved forward one foot in an instant, holding the gun rod again at a safe position where the axe blade had swept.

This action of placing the rod and grabbing the rod is probably not more than 0:1 second, so the gun rod in the air has not had time to fall down, and it is almost still at its original level.

An incredible shock flashed in Yang Ju's eyes, as if a big move had scratched the enemy, but the enemy flashed and dodged in the direction of the big move.

"Puchi!" Zhao Yun, who had successfully flashed, pushed the gun blade into Yang Ju's neck, and even broke his cervical spine.

Zhao Yun was also very dangerous this time. He knew that if Yang Ju and Qiang Duan were beaten up without martial ethics, it would be difficult to deal with it in a while. Then he was in danger in order to kill one as soon as possible.

Qiang Duan witnessed the incident two meters away and his brain crashed for half a second. Zhao Yun had already adjusted his condition and turned over and rushed towards him.

Qiang Duan quickly cheered up his spirit and responded carefully, and did not dare to open his mind and fight for his life. He supported five or six more rendezvous than Yang Ju, but he was eventually knocked down with one shot.

These two barbarian kings are considered fierce men at least. In history, they later defected to Cao Cao and followed Xiahou Yuan to kill Zhang Fei's deputy general Wu Lan and Ren Kui in the Battle of Hanzhong. However, they obviously had no chance to open the door in this life. They had just had two years of dinner with Liu Yan, and then they explained it here.

Wang Lei was completely stunned when he looked at the tragic situation in front of him. When Cheng Ji brought the heavily-arranged Dongzhou soldiers to surround him, the Qing Qiang soldiers and the old soldiers on the east side had been killed and completely lost their system and fled. Both barbarian kings were dead, and these barbarian soldiers no longer had the morale to work hard for Liu Yan.

Seeing that tens of thousands of enemies were surrounded, Zhao Yun immediately retreated.

This battle claimed to have completely defeated the most elite barbarian soldiers under Liu Yan. It has been enough to capture some barbarian prisoners when they return.
