Chapter 318 Changshan Zhao Zilong
Riding and shooting is a brand new way of combat. Before the stirrup was invented, only nomads who lived on horseback for many years could complete this action.
But now the appearance of Takahashi saddle and stirrup makes riding and shooting easier, and the feather arrows splashed over like rain.
Chunyu Qiong wanted to charge forward, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all, and the arrow rain was whizzing.
The poor cavalrymen under his command are all leather armor and have no protective ability to deal with wolf-tooth arrows with armor-breaking ability.
Chunyu Qiong's heart was bleeding, and the cavalry in front of him quickly turned into a herd of horses.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed and a feather arrow was nailed in front of him, but his armor was strong and not injured.
He followed him and chased forward, but the ponies of this group actually ran very fast, and they all would return the horse arrow.
I can't catch up or fight, and I don't have armor on my side.
Seeing that the cavalry had halved, Chunyu Qiong's forehead was sweating.
"Return to the formation." Chunyu Qiong hurriedly brought his troops back, leaving only half of the cavalry. On the other hand, the five thousand cavalrymen in Zhao Yun's army suffered only a few casualties.
However, Chunyu Qiong is still confident. The infantry shield spear formation is not so easy to break, and the light cavalry is not capable of rushing to the formation. Moreover, the infantry has a considerable number of bows and arrows. Once entangled, the cavalry will suffer heavy casualties.
As expected, as Chunyu Qiong expected, Zhao Yun did not chase him and returned to the army to sort it out.
"Chunyu Qiong, do you want to be a turtle with your head? He sent troops to fight but dared not attack."
"If you have the ability, please call me. We will wait for you to rush forward."
Zhao Yun smiled and saw who survived whom. Don’t be anxious when fighting, but be calm.
"Okay, notify Huotoujun, bring the stove over and eat bacon noodles for breakfast."
Just now, Zhao Yun led his troops out to meet the enemy, but he didn't even have breakfast. The Huotou Army came soon after receiving the order, and set up hundreds of large pots, cook noodles, and cut them into pieces of smoked bacon.
Everyone understood: "Scent, really fragrant."
Everyone was eating and talking, deliberately greedy for the Jizhou army. Most of the troops on both sides were from Jizhou, and they had the same accent and could understand them.
But breakfast has no effect, they also came out after breakfast.
This time, Zhao Yun did not attack, and Chunyu Qiong did not attack, and Chunyu Qiong was in trouble. If he retreated, he would inevitably be attacked by Zhao Yun. Moreover, Changshan City could not provide support and had few troops.
After two hours, it was noon.
Chunyu Qiong ordered the soldiers to take turns to eat. They did not bring the pot and took out the pot cake from the dry food bag to chew. The cake was made very delicious, but when it was cold, it was as hard as steel, and the cheeks were sore when they chewed. Some soldiers had old pickles, while others didn't even pickles. This kind of life was the most realistic portrayal of the soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. There were very few foods like Xuzhou, and the generals of the army lived this way.
I saw Xuzhou Jun on the opposite side start cooking again.
"Today, eat canned sea fish, and each person has a big fish, don't grab it. Pickles and chili sauce are enough."
The intentional shouting was quite loud, but in fact, it was also cold pancakes. Each person had a piece of hairtail, and only enough pickles and hot sauce were enough.
The soldiers under Chunyu Qiong didn't know that they thought they could eat big fish and meat on the opposite side.
A soldier tried too hard when he was gnawing the pot-heavy. He clicked and one of his teeth fell off.
"I won't eat it anymore. We eat cold cakes on the other side, so why is the gap so big?"
When Tunchang came over, Da Er's post passed: "Bastard, what are you talking about?"
The soldier was quite arrogant and was not convinced: "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth. Tell me what you eat three meals a day."
The head of the village wanted to slap him, but Chunyu Qiong came over.
"Life is not good, and I will already know this. I will kill pigs and sheep to reward the three armies when I go back in the evening. This is a deliberately bluffing across the street, where did so much fish come from?"
As he was talking, Zhao Yun brought dozens of people and carried dozens of baskets over.
"Brothers across the street, here is our Xuzhou chili sauce, so I can serve you with food."
Chunyu Qiong was so angry: "Zhao Yun, what are you doing? The weasel wishes the chicken a happy New Year, so you don't have a good intention."
Zhao Yun laughed: "I, Zhao Yun, are open-minded and honest, and only villains can use those despicable tricks. We are enemies when we pick up the knife, and we are all fellow villagers in Jizhou when we put it down."
Zhao Yun put down the chili sauce and went back, and gave hundreds of jars of ten kilograms of chili sauce.
This is a fine chili sauce made with dried chili, soybean pepper, pepper and rapeseed oil. It tastes delicious and is expensive.
Some deputy general felt distressed: "General, is this a cheaper Jizhou army?"
Zhao Yun shook his head: "It depends on the overall situation. You should give up small things. The lord has ordered you to try to achieve the greatest result with the minimum casualties. If you can pull, you can pull, and if you can fight, you can fight."
Chunyu Qiong asked someone to take over the things, but he was determined to burn it, but he was reluctant to let it go. Recently, Yuan Shao fought with Cao Cao and there was not much material in the army.
As for the release of poison, it was impossible. If Zhao Yun wanted his life, he would have stabbed him when he fought.
"Let me eat it, but if you eat too much chili, you will get angry. You must eat less."
"Okay, great."
Zhongjun opened the sealed jar lid and turned out to be chili sauce soaked in vegetable oil.
A village chief immediately picked up a little bit with chopsticks: "Spicy, but delicious."
Everyone, I started eating it in one bite.
Guokui with chili sauce is so delicious that it is so delicious that it has a great appetite. I originally ate two pancakes in one meal, but three and four pancakes in one meal.
Spicy hip-hop.
Zhao Yun came over again: "You have suffered heavy casualties today, so don't fight anymore. Let's truce and rescue the wounded."
Chunyu Qiong and his deputy generals looked at each other, this move was too poisonous.
As soon as Zhao Yun retreated, Changshan's army had to gather the wounded and go back. You should know that the wounded were very burdensome.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he left and didn't even clean the battlefield.
Some deputy general was puzzled: "We should attack in one go, and at least thousands of war horses can be seized."
"We only have a few cavalrymen, fight a little less. Most of the Changshan army are from Changshan. I believe they will make the right choice and go back."
Zhao Yun led his army back to the military camp, closed the camp to train troops, and there were only sentries patrolling the outside, so he did not go to the village to disturb the people.
Even the cabbage field near the military camp did not move at all.
Zhao Yun and a group of generals opened the map in the camp, and military advisor Zhao Xin studied it carefully for a while: "It is only four hundred miles from Changshan County to Jizhou,
Reinforcements should arrive within four days. We should attack some nearby county towns so that we can attract more reinforcements. For example, Zhao County is a large population and has weak city defense, which is easier to take down. We have insufficient forage and we need for the county town’s forage.”
"It makes sense. Tomorrow, Deputy General Zhao will lead a thousand troops to capture Zhao County. Remember, once the enemy attacks, retreat immediately and not defend to the death."
