Chapter 1,283 Waiting for the Rabbit
In the military formation, Zhang Nan was covered in blood. Seeing the Tang cavalry suddenly leave, Zhang Nan knew that he was finally saved. Not only him, but also the remaining thousands of Wei soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone looked at each other and saw the excitement of surviving a disaster in each other's eyes.
No matter what, he was able to survive.
The Baima Yicong army stopped less than two miles northwest of the northern army of the Wei army, quietly watching more than 20,000 cavalry rushing in like a gust of wind, annihilating Zhang Nan's army and guarding them.
The deputy general beside Zhao Yun said: "General, why don't we charge for a while? The Wei thieves only have 20,000 cavalry, and we are not without the strength to fight."
Zhao Yun shook his head: "Don't act rashly. If the guess is correct, the cavalry that arrived should be the 20,000 most elite Hebei cavalry around the King of Wei. They are all the most elite cavalry selected from the Wei cavalry over the years. Although they are not as good as us, their strength dare not be underestimated."
Zhao Yun would not easily do such a thing as killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own. What's more, Zhao Yun's 30,000 cavalrymen are still waiting on the sidelines. If he gets entangled with the Wei cavalrymen and the Zhao cavalrymen come again, all his 10,000 white horse volunteers will be lost here.
If this is the case, even if he kills more than 10,000 Wei cavalrymen, it will not help the situation. What Zhao Yun has to do now is to find a way to preserve his own strength, kill as many cavalrymen as possible, and then wait for the arrival of his cavalry reinforcements.
However, even so, Zhao Yun has an indelible shadow in his heart. That is, now on the battlefield of Wei County, in addition to the 30,000 elite cavalrymen of the Zhao army, there are now 20,000 elite Hebei cavalrymen directly under the King of Wei. Zhao Yun and Wen Chou already have 5,000 cavalrymen. If it is not wrong now, Yan Liang should also have 5,000 cavalrymen. If calculated in this way, the cavalrymen of the coalition army are as many as 60,000, while he only has 15,000 or 16,000 cavalrymen now.
After the Wei cavalry arrived at Zhang Nanbu's camp, they left 4,000 cavalry to escort them and slowly retreated towards the East City Camp. The other 20,000 cavalry, led by Wen Chou, chased towards the White Horse Volunteers led by Zhao Yun.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not delay. With a whistle, he led more than 10,000 White Horse Volunteers to the north, leaving the dust on the ground behind Wen Chou.
Wen Chou was so angry when he saw that the White Horse Volunteers ran away without looking back. Unfortunately, the horses of the White Horse Volunteers were all good horses carefully selected from the Tang army. Although the horses of the elite cavalry he led were not bad, they were still far behind the horses of the White Horse Volunteers. He could only watch the White Horse Volunteers run farther and farther, and finally disappeared from his sight.
Helplessly, Wen Chou had to lead the cavalry back to the camp and wait for the next order from his own king.
Zhao Yun's judgment was very accurate. Less than an hour after he left, tens of thousands of Zhao cavalry appeared in the direction of Yecheng. They were the Zhao cavalry who went to Yecheng to find the White Horse Yijun. The leader was Zhao Wang Lu Bu. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Mobile terminal: https:/
Inside the Wei army camp, Yuan Shao listened to Wen Chou and Zhang Nan's report on the battle just now with a sullen face. He didn't expect that he would lose nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses as soon as the battle started, which made Yuan Shao very angry.
First, he was angry that Wen Chou didn't know to guard against Zhao Yun's cavalry. Second, he was also angry that Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalry didn't find Zhao Yun's cavalry, and let him find this loophole. It's just that the two families are allies, and Yuan Shao can't do anything to Lu Bu.
At this time, the generals outside the tent came to report that the King of Zhao led the cavalry outside the camp.
This news made Yuan Shao even more furious. However, at this time, Yuan Shao did not dare to offend Lu Bu easily. If this guy ran away in anger, he would suffer the loss.
Under the persuasion of the counselors beside him, Yuan Shao suppressed his anger and led everyone to the camp gate to welcome Lu Bu and his party.
After the two talked a few words at the gate of the Wei army camp, Lu Bu, who learned that Zhao Yun's cavalry had just left for only one or two hours, also lost interest in talking to Yuan Shao, and led his 30,000 cavalry to chase in the north. He originally came out for Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong, but he didn't expect that when he ran to Yecheng, Zhao Yun's cavalry was gone, so he followed the traces of the cavalry and chased them, but he didn't expect that the Baima Yicong ran away again.
As a result, when Lu Bu led 30,000 cavalry to Handan the next morning, Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong made a feint under the city of Handan, annihilated two or three thousand Wei troops of Yan Liang's army, and ran away again.
Compared with Wen Chou, Yan Liang was much more cautious. Under Xu You's persuasion, although he knew that Lu Bu's cavalry had gone to find the main force of Tang cavalry, he still kept only 1,000 of the 5,000 cavalry in his hands, and the remaining 4,000 cavalry were deployed in the form of a thousand-man team. Therefore, when Zhao Yun appeared with the White Horse Volunteers, he had already received the news very early, so that Zhao Yun's cavalry did not gain much advantage. Although the total loss was also two or three thousand people, compared with Wen Chou's loss, it can be said to be insignificant.
Lv Bu found himself being played around by Zhao Yun, and he was furious. However, after being persuaded by Cao Xing and Xu You, he stopped searching for the Tang cavalry, and stayed under the city of Handan, quietly waiting for Zhao Yun to appear. Xu You's words were correct. Now the cavalry of the King of Wei had arrived. Both armies had tens of thousands of cavalry guards, and the infantry siege had begun. He only needed to wait and see.
However, even so, Lv Bu was not idle. He divided the 30,000 cavalry into three parts and arranged them around Handan. As long as he found Zhao Yun's cavalry, Lv Bu believed that his cavalry would be able to hold them back. It would only take half an hour for his army to arrive and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
What made Lv Bu depressed was that Zhao Yun seemed to have known his thoughts. In the next few days, the Tang cavalry only sent scouts to watch the situation on the battlefield from a distance, but most of the troops never appeared on the two battlefields , as if the battles in the two cities had little to do with them.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Inside Ye City, Zhao Yun was discussing the war with several people in the city. He had received news from Luoyang that tens of thousands of cavalry would arrive in Ye City in the next few days to accept his command. So in the past few days, he had been thinking about how to break the alliance of up to 60,000 cavalry from the two countries, and did not send the cavalry army out of the city.
