I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339 The cavalry showdown between Han and Wei on the banks of the Yellow River!
In fact, this time is an excellent time to use troops against Li Heng.

When Li Heng crossed the Yellow River, he only needed to send a group of cavalry to harass and slow down Li Heng's march.

But the problem is that all the cavalry were left on the south bank of the Yellow River by Sima Zhao.

At this moment, Sima Zhao regretted it endlessly.

If such a decision had not been made that day, Li Heng would have been able to be held back by now and the Han army would have been eliminated on the north bank of the Yellow River.

But he didn't know that Li Heng played like this precisely because he knew that he had left the cavalry on the south bank.

If Sima Zhao brought the cavalry, Li Heng would change his strategy.

That evening, Li Heng began to cross the river. The place where he crossed the river was not Baimajin.

But the ferry near Puyang.

By the time Sima Zhao's cavalry troops received the order, it was already the next morning. By this time, the Han army's front troops had already crossed the river and set up defenses along the Yellow River.

"My sons, let Shugou see how powerful my great Wei cavalry is!"

But he saw a black torrent moving quickly in front of him, with dust flying everywhere and flags fluttering.

At noon, Pang Hui received a military report from the scouts: "The main force of the Han army is continuing to withdraw southward, leaving two thousand soldiers and horses behind."

In fact, Pang Hui did not intend to completely kill Li Heng. His mission was to defeat the Han army. As long as the Han army was defeated, the morale of the Han army would be low. After Sima Zhao went south, the Han army would be quickly annihilated.

"Are there any suspicious soldiers around?"

The scorching sun is scorching the earth, and farmers in the fields rest under the trees after finishing their work.

When Pang Hui arrived, it was already noon, and Li Heng's entire army had crossed the river in the morning.

"No, the main force of the Shu army will withdraw southward!"

The people were frightened and fled in all directions.

Half an hour later, Pang Hui's three thousand cavalry regiment arrived near Puyang.

Because he was worried about attacking the retreating main force first and being surrounded by soldiers and horses at the rear, Pang Hui planned to defeat the Shu army at the rear in a flash, and then attack the main force of the Shu army with all his strength.

He wanted to kill this cavalry before Sima Zhaonan crossed the Yellow River.

And after crossing the river, Li Heng stationed himself by the Yellow River and waited for Sima Zhao's cavalry.

Pang Hui laughed: "Two thousand infantry tried to stop my three thousand cavalry!"

Suddenly they heard the rumble of horse hooves, and everyone looked over in horror.

Because he knew that this Wei army only had cavalry.

And it was a cavalryman without double stirrups.

The cavalry commander Pang Hui, with his troops and horses, hurried from the vicinity of Baimajin to the vicinity of Puyang.

The distance is about fifty miles.

The cavalry has always been engaged in assault warfare.

And when the enemy is retreating, this is a great opportunity for the cavalry.

The infantry of the Han army's front army lined up on the banks of the Yellow River in a "hurried" manner.

The Wei army's cavalry advanced quickly, and when they were two miles away, they separated into two groups.

Like an eagle's wings, it quickly stretches to both sides.

Pang Hui did not believe that a Han army in a marching state could persist for a long time under his iron hoof.

This is impossible.

In fact, Pang Hui's perception is completely correct.

The Han army was tired, even the most elite troops were tired.

But the enemy's soldiers and horses are cavalry, and cavalry marches without the fatigue of infantry.

Besides, Pang Hui's soldiers and horses have rested on the south bank of the Yellow River for several days, and are now in full strength.

Soon, two waves of Wei cavalry entered the Han army's crossbow range.

After several waves of arrows exchanged, the Wei army made a quick detour.

After going back and forth several times, the Han army's arrows were almost used up, and the Wei army's cavalry began to attack. This kind of attack is also mainly aimed at intimidating and disturbing the enemy.

When necessary, direct charges also occurred.

The Han army's defense was obviously much weaker.

This process took about half an hour.

Pang Hui didn't know that Li Heng had actually arranged for a cavalry group to be in the woods fifty miles to the south, avoiding the eyes of the Wei army's scouts.

Li Heng's tactics for dealing with this Wei army were extremely clear. The cavalry ambush at a distance, leaving the rear troops and horses to attract the Wei army.

Waiting for the Wei army to fight with the troops behind the palace, it only takes an hour for the Han army's cavalry to arrive on the battlefield, and the Wei army's cavalry will be defeated.

During this process, the rear troops and horses need to persist for an hour.

The cavalry also needs to arrive as quickly as possible.

This is a test for the army.

If the Wei army's scouts discovered the ambush, the Wei army's cavalry would not attack the rear troops.

At that time, the Han cavalry will go north to assist the rear troops in retreating south, and the two sides will once again regain a sense of tension.

At the moment, the Wei cavalry obviously did not notice the Han army's ambush.

Under the scorching sun, Guan Tong commanded three thousand cavalry and quickly returned to the battlefield. His target was the battlefield around Puyang County.

At this time, the Han army's rear troops and horses had suffered considerable damage.

Some soldiers had their bodies punctured by cavalry charges.

If it weren't for the sophisticated armor, this Han army would have collapsed.

Not even four minutes later, more than half an hour had passed, and Pang Hui lost his patience.

The Wei army's attack entered a frenzied stage, and Pang Hui began to order his cavalry to attack the Han army with all his strength.

It only takes three attacks, and the entire Han army's formation will be cut up, and they will be defeated by then.

The charge of the Wei army's cavalry began. Under the first large-scale frontal charge, the Han army fell down row by row like wheat in the wind.

Bloody and bloody!
But when starting the second attack, Pang Hui suddenly received intelligence from the scouts.

"Report! General, there is a group of Shu army cavalry running towards our army, less than five miles away!"

"What!" Pang Hui was shocked, but quickly calmed down and immediately began to divide his troops, preparing to continue charging the Han infantry while entangling the Han cavalry.

But he didn't know that the Han cavalry with double stirrups completely crushed the Wei cavalry in charge tactics.

The summer wind is mixed with the smell of Yellow River water.

On the bank of the Yellow River, there are boundless wheat fields, black and red inlaid in huge gold, like a flowing river, flowing forward.

Guan Tong could already see the battlefield ahead with his naked eyes and also saw the Wei army's cavalry.

He held the spear in his hand tightly, then raised it high and shouted loudly: "Men, for the sake of the big man, charge!"

The war horses began to neigh in the wheat field, and the iron hooves were like thunder.

The pieces of red tassels are flying in the summer wind.

Soon, the Han cavalry formed rows and waves.

Countless people roared with anger. They were steady and powerful, and they rushed towards the Wei army.

The Wei cavalry also burst out with terrible murderous intent.

But the two sides faced each other and made a decision.

The Wei troops in the first row were stabbed off their horses, and the Han troops rushed in quickly. Their movements on the horses were more stable and faster.

Wei troops continued to fall.

Not long after, Pang Hui's 1,000 cavalrymen were beaten and fled in all directions.

The morale of the Han army's cavalry grew stronger and stronger. After attacking the wave of Wei army's cavalry, they almost did not stop and rushed towards Pang Hui's main cavalry.

Those flying reds are like golden flames, burning with boiling blood.
