"Take it all away?"

Ma Chao nodded: "With Yu Linqi's strength, he can only deal with Yan Liang and Wen Chou. What is there to be afraid of? Let's not talk about the strength of these two people. Even if they bring thousands of soldiers and horses, with Yu Lin

With the riding strength and speed, what can they do to us?"

Taishi Ci also nodded, and he felt that this was also the case. After staying in the imperial army for a while, he had seen with his own eyes the strength of the soldiers of ordinary princes in Yanzhou, and he understood the gap between the two sides best.

Although Yuan Shao's troops are elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, they also refer to a small number of main troops. Yuan Shao has expanded too fast in recent years. Although his troops are numerous, their quality is uneven. Especially this time, the troops led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou are uneven.

Yes, except for a small number of his personal guards and horses, which can be regarded as elites in hundreds of battles, the rest are local guards and horses that are no better than civilians.

In terms of strength, it is incomparable to ordinary elite soldiers, let alone the elite Yulin Cavalry among the elites of the imperial court?

Under normal circumstances, perhaps Yan Liang and Wen Chou's personal martial prowess could make up for some of the gaps in soldiers, but their martial prowess was basically a joke in the eyes of Zhang Liao and others.

Although I had learned from His Majesty before departure that an immortal had gone to join Yuan Shao's forces in Hebei, this immortal was currently with Yuan Shao over there in Youzhou and had no time to pay attention to this side. Therefore... Zhang Liao had nothing to worry about.

.

"In that case, let's divide the troops into two places!"

Ma Chao led two thousand soldiers alone and directly went to find trouble for Wen Chou. Zhang Liao took Tai Shi Ci and the remaining troops to deal with Yan Liang.

In doing so, firstly, Wen Chou was the farthest away, and his soldiers and horses came from afar. Although Ma Chao had fewer soldiers, it was enough to defeat Wen Chou.

Although Yan Liang was tricked by himself and made a big circle, his overall fatigue was not as high as that of Wen Chou's army. In addition, most of the soldiers led by Yan Liang were locals from Anyi. These people were eager to go home, so their fighting spirit was

The meeting was more prosperous and Zhang Liao prepared to go there in person, leaving slightly more troops and horses behind.

It's not that Zhang Liaoxin is inferior to Taishi Ci, it's that Taishi Ci has a limited time to join the Forbidden Army, and among the three of them, he has the shortest time to practice. To be on the safe side, it's better to get used to it with him for a while.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, had long joined the Imperial Guards, and later had real combat experience in Yuzhou. He had a clearer understanding of his soldiers and his own strength, so Zhang Liao was naturally relieved.

The arrangements were well made, but something unexpected happened. Zhang Liao looked at the man who was tied up and thrown in front of him, and he didn't know how to make a decision.

"You said...your leader wants to see me?"

The man nodded and looked as usual, showing no fear at all, even if someone beside him could kill him with just a little stretch of his hand.

Although Zhang Liao admired this man's courage, he was not very happy with his attitude. Moreover, the man in front of him was simply a bandit. What qualifications did this man have to be arrogant in front of him?

After all, Zhang Wenyuan is also the General Yulin of the Han Dynasty today, with a real title of general, and he also commands the Yulin Cavalry, one of the elites of the imperial court. How dare you, a mere bandit, brazenly ask to see him? He thinks he is

Who is it? Today?

"Who is the leader of your family?" Ma Chao listened confusedly, and he didn't know much about the situation in Bingzhou, so he asked.

Hearing this, the man raised his head and said: "My leader is Zhang Yan of Heishan!"

"Zhang Yan?" Taishi Ci sneered: "No wonder you are so arrogant, it's just that you picked the wrong occasion!"

Ma Chao was also quite disdainful: "He's just a bandit leader, how can he get such a big show? He actually asked General Zhang to meet him in person. Who do you think he is?"

Several people laughed at him, and the man panicked a little. Only then did he realize that something was wrong with the situation.

It turned out that this person was Zhang Yan's subordinate, and he was here just to communicate with Zhang Liao. It was just that the leader of his family wanted to meet Zhang Liao and talk about something.

This person also knew a little bit about the specific things, but he just saw that this cavalry army pretending to be rogues was a member of the imperial court. Zhang Yan felt that he could establish a good relationship with this group of people and arrange an escape route for himself.

Zhang Yan initially followed the Yellow Turbans uprising and was considered a man who had seen the world. After the Yellow Turbans failed, he took his remaining brothers to dominate Bingzhou.

Although he was living quite happily, he knew in his heart that continuing like this was not a long-term solution. If he wanted to live a truly carefree life, he had to find a way out as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao didn't seem to be enthusiastic about his attitude, and Zhang Yan didn't think much of Yuan Shao, so he considered joining the imperial court.

But he was a Yellow Turban thief, so he never dared to casually express his desire to join the court. Until the end of the Yuzhou war, it was said that the court had accepted many Yellow Turban soldiers, and even commanders like Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

Bing Qushuai, Zhang Yan felt that the court did not seem to mind the identity of the Yellow Turban Army.

At this time, he began to think about how to connect with the imperial court. At the same time... he couldn't seem too anxious and had to maintain his posture.

Zhang Yan felt that he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, so how could he count on the superior party? Even if he wanted to surrender, the other party would have to show sincerity, so he did not go to see Zhang Liao in person.

In addition, he felt that Zhang Liao and the others must be secretive when entering Bingzhou this time, and their identities must not be revealed. Otherwise, why would they not even use the flag and wear rags on purpose?

In this way, if he invites the other party, he should not refuse, and he can take advantage of the situation and gain greater bargaining chips for the negotiation - but what he calculated was not achieved, so Zhang Liao didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

In the eyes of Ma Chao and others, Zhang Yan, no matter how powerful you are, is just a bandit, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under you are just a bunch of rabble. It's your luck that they don't bother to pay attention to you, and now they actually take the initiative to send you to your door. That's not

Feeling uncomfortable?

"It seems that Zhang Yan needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise he will really think that he is a hero!"

Ma Chao now wishes he could fight a few more times and kill Zhang Yan before dealing with Wen Chou. He doesn't mind it at all.

However, Zhang Liao calculated the time and felt that before dealing with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it was not appropriate to add any complications: "For now, we should deal with Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the main ones. As for this Yan..." he turned around and said to the tied bandit.

Sentence: "Go back and tell Zhang Yan that if he wants to surrender, he should show his surrender and don't pretend to be someone else!"

After saying that, he nodded to the bodyguard beside him and led the army away. The bodyguard took out his sword and waved it, and then left without looking.

This action frightened the young bandit so much that he told him that he was dissatisfied with his attitude and wanted to leave something on him, or leave something on him to warn his leader.

But for a long time after the sword light fell, he didn't feel anything strange on his body. When he lowered his head to check, he found that the rope that tied him had been cut open by the sword. Not only did this sight not make him happy, but it actually

He was even more frightened - the rope was close to his body and only wrapped around him. This knife broke the rope without hurting his body at all. This shows how advanced that man's swordsmanship has become? And such a master is actually just an ordinary cavalry?

Thinking of this, he suddenly got excited. He stood up hurriedly and found the horses he had hidden. Then he ran back to his hometown to see Zhang Yan, preparing to report the matter to his commander in detail. As for how his peers would choose, that was not what he wanted.

Considered.

Zhang Liao and others who let go of this "message soldier" were divided into two groups not long after leaving. Among them, Ma Chao led two thousand cavalry and walked slightly northeast for a while, and then turned west.

This route is equivalent to an arc, but as long as the calculation is accurate, it can attack the flank of Wen Chou's army. This is due to the open terrain of Bingzhou and the plain terrain. If you are in Shu, even if you want to go around,

I'm afraid I don't have this foundation, so I can only walk forward along the road, and then have a "meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins" drama.

At present, the cavalry can display the characteristics of flexibility and maneuverability. In addition, Ma Chao has been in the Northwest Army for a long time and has considerable experience in cavalry tactics. Now he alone commands a troop of troops and horses, and he has not done anything because he and the soldiers are extremely strong.

Relaxed, he still chose the most suitable route of advance or even attack, and sent out a large number of scouting horses in order to grasp the detailed movements of Wen Chou's army as soon as possible.

Each of the soldiers of the Yulin Cavalry can become an excellent scout, which gives Ma Chao more room for control, so Ma Chao quickly locked onto the movements of Wen Chou's army and immediately determined the most suitable ambush.

Place.

"One hit kill!"

Ma Chao had such a calculation in his heart. After confirming everything, he let his soldiers have a good rest for a day, and then came to the ambush site in advance and quietly waited for the arrival of Wen Chou's army.

To be honest, this place is not suitable for an ambush because the terrain is too open. Ma Chao chose the place to hide simply because this place can block the direction in which Wen Chou's army was looking due to the undulations of the terrain.

But because the distance is relatively far, even a cavalry assault will not have a very good effect - but this is not a problem for the Yulin Cavalry, so Ma Chao chose this place.

More importantly, he had no more suitable choice.

"Captain, the enemy has appeared!"

When Wen Chou's army slowly appeared from the horizon and then moved slowly southward at the limit of sight, Ma Chao spat out a grass stem in his mouth, then drew the gun in his hand, without saying anything, just moved forward.

With a finger, Yu Linqi immediately launched a charge with Ma Chao.

What is different from ordinary cavalry is that the weapons they draw when charging are not spears or spears, but bows and arrows, and almost every soldier holds at least three to five arrows in their hands, so that they can be better

to unleash the power of arrow rain.

At this time, Wen Chou in the distance did not panic at all when he saw the sudden appearance of the cavalry. Instead, he laughed several times: "Who is this idiot who leads the troops? He actually started an assault at such a long distance!"
