The sword is sharp and whistling down.

Zhang Ji wanted to avoid it, but twisted his body but caused the wound. He couldn't help but feel a sharp pain and his movements were a little stiff.

After a long time of comfort, I will always be a little lazy. I always think that war will be the same as I imagined, or that I feel that I can avoid all risks.

But what about the actual situation?

Risks are still everywhere.

『General, be careful!』

A long spear stabbed from one side in time, piercing the lower abdomen of Cao's soldiers.

The Cao army soldiers seized the handle of the spear and tried hard to kill Zhang Ji's guard before they died, but Zhang Ji was slammed away with a backhand. They could only let out their last breath and fell down.

On the battlefield, only your comrades are the ones you can rely on...

『General! Reinforcements are coming!』 The guard beside him shouted, 『Reinforcements are coming!』

Zhang Jixian killed the Cao army soldiers in front of him, and then looked up and looked in the direction pointed out by the guard.

In the midst of the smoke and dust, I saw the cavalry vaguely advancing.

There were more and more screams.

Suddenly, there was a louder noise, which sounded in the direction of Huguan Pass.

Zhang Ji's face changed.

In this battle, both sides made their own strategies, the center of the battle was constantly changing, and the maneuverability and agility on the battlefield were fully displayed.

At present, this game is finally going toward the endgame.

Everyone is the focus of this battlefield, but no one is the absolute core.

People who think they are awesome may not be able to be awesome to the end, but they are often ordinary soldiers who are the core elements that support the entire battle.

Zhang Ji thought he was very powerful, but he also met Le Jin, who was also angry, and both of them were injured.

Zhang Ji injured his arm and Le Jin injured his leg.

The seemingly unrelated injuries have now caused Le Jin to be slowed down invisibly when he was rushing to the Huguan City Gate.

Under Huguan, the terrain is not flat, with ditches and mounds, not a simple city, and then a camp is under the city.

Most passes or cities are not flat and regular like movies and TV. They are often bumpy due to geographical environment, and even deliberately make bumpy.

Around Huguan Pass is the extension of the Taihang Mountains, and there are many folds of the ravines and soil plates.

It is naturally impossible for Cao Jun’s camp to be all concentrated together. Some camps are located at higher locations, and of course there are also some land nests dug out by laborers.

The battlefield has never been so-called beautiful, neat and at a glance.

Observing the other party’s camp and counting the other party’s stove cigarettes every day are all basic common sense.

When Cao's army appears on the platform of the earthen plateau, they will naturally be seen on the Huguan city wall. However, if Cao's army goes down the ditches of the earthen plateau and falls into the folds of the hills, their vision will be blocked. Isn't it a common sense issue?

Lejin made arrangements by taking advantage of these common sense and his own camp, which is beautiful and uneven in Taihang Mountain.

But he didn't expect that he would be injured...

"Quick! Quick!" Le Jin turned over the wrinkled slope, began to climb up the earthen plateau, limping towards Huguan Pass.

On the other hand, Zhao Yan was also shouting the same word: "Hurry! Hurry!! Grab the city!"

The Cao army cavalry behind him also shouted together, and they were majestic for a momentum.

The city gate of Huguan Pass is thick and sturdy, not only hard wood, but also iron bars and copper nails. However, this also makes the city gate so heavy that it is not like the doors of later generations. It can be closed with a slight slammed and said it to close.

Most of the time, the city gates of Huguan Pass are only half open, just enough, and when it is necessary to quickly enter and exit the troops, they naturally have to be opened.

It is difficult to open the door, and it is also difficult to close the door.

If you want to close it again after opening it, it is not something that one or two people can pull it.

Moreover, Huguan also needs to leave a door for Zhang Ji and others to enter the pass...

A fierce offensive and defensive battle is actually almost exhausted for both sides, and often it is supported by one's heart. If the Huguan city gate is seized, it is naturally not a small blow to the Huguan defenders, and Le Jin and Zhao Yan mean that they have a more proactive choice.

Anyone can understand this.

Even if the total number of defenders within Huguan Pass is more than that of Le Jin and others, the outcome of many wars does not depend only on the number of people...

Sometimes, luck is also important.

Just like this ambush, if it was at night, the winning rate of Le Jin and Zhao Yan would be increased by at least 30% or 40%.

But now, we can only compete for speed and compete for the time difference between cooperation.

Le Jin and Zhao Yan wanted to grab the current time difference.

But the problem is that Le Jin's foot was injured, and he ran slower than he originally did...

According to the original plan, Le Jin's speed was consistent with the cavalry sent by Zhao Yan.

I am walking forward, but I am closer.

Zhao Yan's cavalry rode his horse, but his hiding position was a little farther away.

So both sides should have reached Huguan at about the same time, but now Lejin has slowed down the entire infantry's speed, causing Zhao Yan's cavalry to be disconnected from Lejin...

Zhao Yan's cavalry formation arrived at the bottom of Huguan first!

In the Huguan city gate, figures were shaking. I don’t know if someone was rushing out or preparing to close the city gate.

But the light that shines through the door opening seems to Zhao Yan to see the light of hope!

Zhao Yan stared at the city gate tightly. Just as the distance was getting closer, a soldier suddenly pointed to the side and shouted: "Enemy cavalry!"

Under Huguan, the number of cavalry in Cao's army was not large, and the number of war horses in Huguan was not large. It was not that the cavalry was not equipped, but because of the terrain of the land of Huguan.

If Fei Qian had not expanded the current demand for cavalry in the Han Dynasty, in fact, until the late Three Kingdoms, only Cao Cao formed a cavalry formation of more than a thousand people. On most battlefields of the Three Kingdoms, there were not many cavalrymen...

Although Cao's army was choked by Fei Qian, there were still some war horses. At least the generals sent out soldiers, scouts, and sergeants, and other war horses, otherwise they would rely on their legs to deliver messages and orders back and forth?

And the key to the battlefield is never horses, but people...

"What?!"

Didn’t the Huguan cavalry go to rescue Zhang Ji?

How did it appear here?!

Zhao Yan turned his head in surprise and saw a team of about thirty cavalrymen on the side, running wildly, and attacking in the direction of Zhao Yan!

Although this team of Hussar cavalrymen was not large, they were rushing towards them with a momentum that seemed to be facing a mountain!

The cavalry that Zhao Yan and Le Jin finally gathered together were only more than fifty. If you want to say that the number of people is superior, it is indeed true, but the cavalry rushing towards the flank seemed to be the one with the advantage in numbers!

"Where did these cavalry come out?!"

Zhao Yan's eyes widened, almost unable to believe his own eyes.

The next moment, Zhao Yan shouted in a hurry, "Cum! Cum them! Don't let them crash in!"

At this moment, Zhao Yan's order was right, but it was also wrong...

That's right, because the best countermeasure at the moment is remote blocking.

If it is on weekdays, then you will naturally adjust the direction slightly, and then hedge the opponent after shooting at a long range, or stay away from the opponent's side attack line. However, Zhao Yan's most important goal now is to grab the city gate and wait for Le Jin to fill the position to see if there is any chance to advance the attack into the Huguan Pass. Naturally, it is impossible to change his original plan. He can only hope to block the bow and arrow and block the opponent's impact, creating more time and space for himself.

The reason why the order was wrong was because Zhao Yan was not a real cavalryman after all, and he was just a temporary part-time job, so naturally he was unable to consider it carefully.

The appearance of this team of cavalry was very sudden, which made the cavalry under Zhao Yan's hands a little panicked, because the weapons they originally had were all melee battles, and were preparing to directly fight with the defenders at Huguan City Gate. As a result, another team of cavalry suddenly appeared. Under Zhao Yan's order, they had to switch to long-range weapons...

Open the panel, select weapons, then unload the weapons, and then equip the weapons...

What?

No one-click dressing?

Of course not, and if you are not proficient in the dress-up, you may even drop weapons halfway…

With such delays, the opponent's cavalry had approached.

Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was almost stabbing his nose with a spear and a sword, Zhao Yan's cavalry naturally instinctively threw away the long-range weapon he had just replaced, and wanted to switch to melee equipment again...

This was such an extremely simple and seemingly wrong order, but it caused chaos in Zhao Yan's cavalry ranks.

Some cavalry are holding bows and arrows, some are holding swords and guns, some are trying to shoot but not shooting angles, and some are trying to cut but have short hands and can't reach...

On the other hand, more than 30 cavalry led by Deng Li basically followed the standard of the carving standard and threw out the throwing weapons, either short axes, iron halberds, or guns that they carried with them the moment they collided. Because Deng Li's cavalry sources were not unified, the equipment was not consistent, but what was consistent was the training they had experienced before and the habits they had cultivated from a lot of training.

The habit of Hussar cavalry has exceeded most ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. Even without Deng Li's order, these cavalry knew almost instinctively what they should do. Just like the short weapon that suddenly threw when approaching the enemy, it may not necessarily be able to hurt and kill many people immediately, but it provides a better opportunity for disrupting the enemy's array.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also far exceeds the Cao Jun series because of the existence of martial arts lecture halls and the flexibility and autonomy of grassroots military academies.

Deng Li discovered the abnormal movements on the battlefield. He did not report and wait, nor did he rigidly implement Jia Qu's original order. Instead, he changed the goal of the battle and asked the front troops to continue charging forward to rescue Zhang Ji. He led the second half of the people to intercept Zhao Yan's cavalry unit.

In comparison, the movements of the Cao army's cavalry became much stiffer. This kind of dullness was not the fault of the Cao army soldiers, but the problem of the entire Cao army system. The Cao army system was determined by the economic structure of Shandong and the superstructure.

The Shandong political group, which is the original Han system, likes and hopes that the lower class people are obedient, stupid, and do not know how to adapt. They will only live, grow old, sick and die on a piece of land in one place. This is in line with the interests and needs of the ruling class in Shandong, but this naturally leads to other derivative problems, such as the rigid combat reactions shown now.

In comparison, the area controlled by the Cavalry is larger, the population is relatively sparse, and it is more welcome, and even encourages population migration. Therefore, in many cases, the people's initiative will be stronger. In addition, the complete record and exchange system of military meritorious masters makes most soldiers, even retired veterans, have a desire to obtain merit.
