    The cavalry from both sides charged into battle on the vast plain.

    The shouts of death, screams, the sound of horse hooves, the sound of war drums, and the collision of weapons were all mixed together, and it was impossible to distinguish them. I could only feel a "buzzing" sound in my ears.

    The soldiers on both sides were so furious that they couldn't tell the difference between you and me. As long as they found something that was not the armor of one of their own soldiers, they would chop with their swords or stab with their spears.

    Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao both stood at a high place, holding command flags in their hands and waving commands constantly. However, the soldiers on both sides were in confusion. Few people looked at the flags and just hacked and killed the enemy soldiers and horses.

    Although the Wei army had a numerical advantage, the situation on the battlefield was evenly matched from the beginning.  As time went by, the Wei army was at a disadvantage.

    Those horse-cutting swords looked powerful and heavy, but compared with the lightweight Han knives, they didn't have any advantage at all. During the gaps between battles, the soldiers of the Han army could still use their hand-held repeating crossbows to accurately shoot down the Wei army's troops.  , which made the Wei soldiers appear more passive.

    In addition, Zhang Liao also discovered that the Han army's war horses seemed to be extremely brave. They stepped on the corpses of the soldiers as if they were walking on flat ground. Even if they stepped on swords and guns, it seemed to have no impact.  But their Wei army's war horses are different. If they step on weapons on the ground, they will fall over.

    ??Also, the soldiers of the Han army are riding on horses. Everyone can raise weapons with both hands and appear to be very stable. Why are their riding skills so strong? This is something that only a general can possess!

    "No, there must be something wrong here!" Zhang Liao thought to himself.

    "Father, the general is willing to personally lead the army to kill!" Zhang Hu saw that the situation was not good for them and asked loudly for orders.

    Zhang Liao didn't speak, and stared at the battlefield for a long time before suddenly giving an order.

    "Zhang Hu, go and get the Han sword, the saddle and the leg of the war horse from the Han army!"

    "Fatherthis" Zhang Hu was a little confused. He didn't understand why his father's order was?

    "This is a military order, execute it quickly!"

    "No!"

    Zhang Hu beat the horse like flying and rushed into the battlefield.

    After a while, Zhang Hu rushed back and saw that he was covered in blood, holding a Chinese sword and a saddle in one hand, and a bloody horse leg in the other hand.

    "Double-sided stirrups?" Zhang Liao took a look and saw that the saddle was no different from the high-bridge saddle worn by their war horses, but the stirrups were double-sided.

    Zhang Liao knew very well what effect such a small change would have on the soldiers riding on the war horses.

    No wonder the Han soldiers¡¯ riding skills are so high. Here¡¯s the secret!  Why couldn't I think of this small change?  Who thought of the Han army?  Could it be said to be Liu Cong, King of Han?

    "Give me the horse's leg!"

    Zhang Hu handed over the bloody horse leg.

    After Zhang Liao took it, he hurriedly looked at the horse's hoof.

    "Iron?" Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly widened, "How is this possible?"

    "Father, what is iron?" Zhang Hu was a little surprised.

    ¡°Horses¡¯ hooves are made of iron, look!¡±

    Zhang Hu and Cao Chun hurried over, picked up the horse leg, and looked at it carefully. After reading it, they were much more surprised than Zhang Liao.

    "It turns out that iron paws can be nailed on the hooves of war horses!" It took a long time for Zhang Liao to realize that the horses' hooves did not really look like this. The iron paws were nailed on later. "The King of Hanhow could the King of Han have so many  Could he really be"

    Zhang Liao simply didn¡¯t dare to think about it.

    "General, we have long discovered that their swords are light and strong. With the cooperation of these two-sided horse stirrups, they are even more powerful!" Only then did Cao Chun understand why the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was defeated by Jingzhou during the Battle of Nanyang.  cavalry.

    "Zhang Hu and Cao Chun, order you two to lead three hundred personal guards each and quickly evacuate to Guandu!"

    "Huh?" Cao Chun and Zhang Hu were stunned when they heard Zhang Liao's order.  The situation on the battlefield is now extremely critical. The Wei army's cavalry is already at a disadvantage. How can they withdraw at this time?

    "General, although the Han cavalry is brave, their only general is Zhao Yun. At the end of the day, the general is willing to lead his army to charge!" Cao Chun said loudly.

    "The last general is also willing to lead his troops to charge and never retreat!"

    "Our cavalry has just been formed, and its combat power is not as good as that of the Han army, but their horses are equipped with iron palms, double stirrups, and the Han sword is also dominant. We have lost this battle!"

    "My father often said that as a general, you should be wrapped in horse leather."The child is not afraid, he is willing to fight to the death on the battlefield!  Zhang Hu said loudly.

    "It's easy to die in battle, but can you defeat the Han army's cavalry?" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth, "We were defeated this time, but we can't be defeated again next time. Your three hundred guards will be ours to rebuild in the future.  The foundation of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, remember, let our horses also be nailed with iron palms and equipped with double stirrups, and then we will fight the Han army in a decisive battle, we must defeat them!"

    "Father¡­¡­"

    "This is a military order, retreat quickly!"

    "General, let's withdraw together! The future will be decided!" Cao Chun knew that Zhang Liao was far superior to him in terms of the ability to unite troops in combat, and the lord Cao Cao also valued Zhang Liao very highly.

    "No, I want to fight for the dignity of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry!" Zhang Liao sneered at the corner of his mouth, "If I escape this time, no matter how well equipped our war horses are, they will still be defeated the next time they encounter the Han army's cavalry.  Will you be timid before you fight, so you have to fight this battle to the end?"

    "Father" Zhang Hu burst into tears all of a sudden, "Father, my son is willing to fight this battle for his father. Wrapped in horse leather, he will never fall into the prestige of our Bingzhou wolf cavalry"

    "Are you going to disobey the military order?" Zhang Liao's face sank.

    "Child, obey your orders, father, take care"

    Zhang Hu knew that his father Zhang Liao had made up his mind and no one could change it. He held back the tears in his eyes and quickly evacuated the battlefield with Cao Chun and hundreds of his men to Guandu.  When leaving, I did not forget to collect some Han army swords, saddles, stirrups, hand-held repeating crossbows, throwing spears and horse hooves.

    Seeing Zhang Hu and Cao Chun leave, Zhang Liao felt much more relaxed.  In the Battle of Hefei, his entire army was wiped out and Huainan was lost. He originally wanted to die on the battlefield, but that time he was defeated by Li Dianye and returned to Xuzhou.  This time, Zhang Liao was determined to die. Moreover, although he had recovered since his last injury, his martial arts skills were not as good as before.  Zhang Liao was very pleased to discover the secret of the Han cavalry this time. He believed that their cavalry, equipped with these, would never be weaker than the Han cavalry.  With such a harvest, it is enough to die on the battlefield!

    The cavalry on both sides were constantly charging and killing, soldiers were constantly dying, and corpses were piled up everywhere.

    Zhang Liao did not move, and his cavalry did not retreat. Their numbers became smaller and smaller, and they were gradually surrounded by Han troops.

    At this time, the Han army still had more than 5,000 soldiers, but the Wei army had less than 1,000 soldiers and basically had no power to fight back.  Zhao Yun waved the big gun in his hand and shouted, "Stop!"

    The soldiers of the Han army stopped the siege.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
