Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 466
It has to be said that among the coalition forces, most of the 5000 people on Zhang Liao's side were cavalry masters. They hadn't seen the magnificent grassland scenery for a long time, and they all roared astride their horses to express their inner excitement.

At this moment, Zhang Liao gave an order with slightly Zou eyebrows: "Send the order, don't mess up the formation, the army suppresses the speed, don't let anyone fall behind."

It wasn't until teams of messengers conveyed Zhang Liao's order that the 5000 people were restrained a bit. However, they had already left the other friendly troops about five miles away, which shows how elite these cavalry are. .

After the army marched for an hour, a group of messengers suddenly shouted in front of them: "The army speeds up and sets up camp sixty miles ahead tonight. The whole army must arrive before dark..."

Zhang Liao was the first to receive the order. At that moment, they no longer kept their speed, and Zhang Liao even ordered the army to march faster.It was easy for Zhang Liao to reach the camp before dark, but it was a bit difficult for some cavalry behind him, and many of them were still dawdling behind.

Not long after, when Zhang Liao's 5000 men marched in formation, suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes from the side and rear. Judging from the sound, it was about [-] cavalry. Zhang Liao and others looked at each other. It's a little confusing which team can catch up with them. You know, according to their marching speed, Xia Houyuan and other generals' subordinates have been thrown away by at least ten miles. Could it be that they caught up?

After a while, a cavalry appeared more than 200 steps to their side. Everyone was wearing white robes and cavalry armor of the Northern Frontier Army. Due to the distance, everyone couldn't tell who was leading the army. However, They could tell that this cavalry was equipped with one man and three cavalry, after all, most of the horses had no one on them.

"Here, who are they? One person riding three horses is so extravagant." Hou Cheng shouted, "Wen Yuan, have you seen it?"

"One man with three cavalry, but it doesn't seem like you're picking the vanguard." Zhang Liao replied, "Could it be the legendary White Robe Army? By the way, it must be. Legend has it that the White Robe Army has always been led by General Zhao Yun. This must be Zhao Yun. The general marched with his army towards the camp."

"Hahaha, I really want to see how powerful the White Robe Army is. This route doesn't need the strength of three horses at all. How about we catch up?" Hou Cheng asked: "I heard that the White Robe Army is not weak. I really feel itchy."

"Hahaha, okay, but we must maintain our formation, so don't let others underestimate us." Zhang Liao nodded and replied, "I see that the white-robed army still maintains formation during the march, it is really amazing, let's catch up. "

Zhang Liao immediately speeded up to catch up with the white robe army, but after chasing more than ten miles, they were thrown away by the white robe army. shape.For this kind of high-speed march, they lack relevant training, so they can't catch up with the white robe army at all.

Soon, Zhang Liao's side arrived at the camp. Xia Houlan, who had left earlier, really came out to explore the way, and at the same time chose a camping place for the army.Zhang Liao checked the surrounding terrain deliberately, and he found that the camping ground was very good, suitable for the army to rest and reorganize.

When 5000 people on their side were camping, a group of more than ten cavalrymen suddenly ran over and shouted: "I found a flock of yellow sheep thirty miles away, and a flock of yellow sheep were found thirty miles away... "

"How big is the yellow sheep?" A voice came: "In which direction."

"To the east, there are about 500 gazelles, and there seems to be traces of wolves. General Xia Houlan has led [-] people to go around from the north." The orderly replied truthfully.

"Okay, let's start meat tonight, and the white-robed army will get on their horses immediately."

Zhang Liao also rode over at this time. He saw that it was Zhao Yun who gave the order, so he stepped forward and asked, "General Zhao, can I accompany you?"

"Hahaha, it's still early before dark, and the yellow sheep are coming to your door again, so there's no reason not to take them down." Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Whoever sees it has a share, Wen Yuan, and you also lead people to hunt with me." Well, but be careful, there are probably wolves nearby."

"Haha, there's nothing to be afraid of just a pack of wolves. General Zhao, please go first. I'll lead people to raid from north to south later."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao immediately went back to the camp to explain the situation to Hou Cheng and the others. Hou Cheng and the others were also very excited. Twenty thousand yellow sheep were not a small number. No one wanted to miss such a good hunting opportunity.

On the grasslands, hunting is also a part of military training, and sometimes it is even more dangerous than marching and fighting.Therefore, after a lot of discussion, it was decided that Zhao Yun and Hou Cheng would each lead 3000 people to confiscate from the north and the south.

Just as they were about to leave the camp, Xia Houyuan, Ji Ling and others also led the army to arrive. Hou Cheng told the news that these people also wanted to go and see, but Zhang Liao didn't have time to wait for them.

Hou Cheng even joked: "If you go early, there will be yellow sheep. If you go late, you can wait to pick up the wool. I have to hunt a few wolves to come back today, hahahaha,,,,,,"

The rest of the people were not to be outdone, and immediately ordered some soldiers and horses to follow. For most people, hunting large-scale gazelle herds in the grasslands is a new thing. They have never seen it before. Besides, gazelle is also a good thing , Whether it is sheepskin or mutton, they are all items that soldiers need.

The team followed the footprints for more than 30 miles and finally saw the traces of the yellow sheep. Zhao Yun has ordered his subordinates to drive the yellow sheep to a nearby valley. As long as the yellow sheep enter the valley, the next thing will be easy. too much.

"Okay, it seems that this group of yellow sheep also know that going forward is a dead end, and they refuse to move." Zhao Yun stared at the sheep and said: "Send an order to form a three-layer encirclement, and prepare to disperse and divide the sheep."

The officers and soldiers of the white-robed army quickly carried out Zhao Yun's order. As for the other troops of the coalition army, they were arranged at the outermost perimeter. Zhang Liao and others had also experienced this kind of hunting, so they were all ready to chase the sheep.

Only Xia Houyuan and the others were still thinking about going forward to catch the sheep, and some even shouted, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and catch the sheep."

Zhang Liao shook his head and said with a smile: "Catch? How can it be so easy? Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. The gazelle is about to break through. Be careful, everyone, don't let the soldiers rush forward recklessly, otherwise the sharp horns of the gazelle will also bite." Can kill."

While Zhang Liao was still talking, the yellow sheep had already begun to break through.The officers and soldiers of the White Robe Army are very familiar with this kind of scene. They are very skilled in using horses, bows and arrows to divide the yellow sheep.

When the first batch of gazelles rushed out of the encirclement, Zhao Yun immediately ordered his subordinates to shrink the encirclement. Although many gazelles ran out, those gazelles with weaker physical strength were all detained.

In the end, Zhao Yun surrounded more than 4000 gazelles, and the rest of gazelles successfully broke through.It's not that the generals of the white-robed army are incapable, the key is that this kind of siege is a very shoddy strategy, besides, [-] gazelles charge together, the posture is not weaker than ten thousand horses galloping.

Zhang Liao and the others had already led their men to chase the Yellow Goat. Anyway, the crowd would not be separated. Zhao Yun had also ordered to pursue the Yellow Goat for a maximum of ten miles. How much you can gain today depends on your luck and strength. Anyway, the White Robe Army It took a lot of effort to catch a lot of yellow sheep, enough to eat for a while.

When it was getting dark, teams of cavalry rode back to their respective camps.Some people were smiling and hugging a gazelle, and some people didn't hunt gazelle, but hunted some smaller prey such as pheasants, rabbits and deer.

Some brave people even hunted wild wolves. Of course, many of them returned empty-handed. They had no experience in such large-scale hunting. The gazelle is flexible, and some cavalry even fell off their horses. Fortunately, they didn't suffer any injuries, otherwise if it spreads, it will definitely make people laugh.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry and pursued a lot of roads. His harvest today was not small. Apart from five deer and seven yellow sheep, Zhao Yunnian also hunted four wolves with his own hands. Finally, his soldiers found a bear. After a lot of effort, Zhao Yun finally took down the bear.

In the evening, Zhao Yun held a banquet and invited all the allied troops to celebrate.In any case, most of the people were traveling for the first time, and as Zhao Yun was the commander in chief, he naturally wanted to contact everyone.

The staple food tonight is barbecue. Anyway, we hunted a lot today, and everyone ate with their stomachs open.Everyone clinked glasses to each other to show their friendliness, and everyone was telling interesting stories about today, some were spreading rumors about how many good things they had hunted today, and some were making fun of how poorly others performed today.

"It seems that everyone is very satisfied with today's hunting. Next time I have a chance, I will come back to compete and see who can hunt the best prey." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I took advantage of it today. You should work harder next time."

"General Zhao Yun is unparalleled in shooting. I have seen it today." Zhang Liao raised his glass and toasted, "General Zhao Yun shot three arrows in one hand, and the three arrows hit the eyes of three gazelles respectively. This archery technique is truly amazing."

"Haha, when it comes to archery, I think Brother Miao Cai is also very good." Zhao Yun replied: "I saw Brother Miao Cai hunted several wolves today, all of them were shot in the forehead. Brother Miao Cai should be the same today. Harvest your subordinates."

"It's just a small skill, it's just a small skill." Xia Houyuan replied: "Compared to General Zhao Yun who trapped thousands of gazelles in one go, these are all small skills. If there is a chance in the future, I will ask General Zhao Yun to send someone to teach them My subordinates, I am also very envious of such a large-scale hunting technique."

"That's right, I saw that General Zhao also hunted a bear." Xiahoudun also roared: "It's really big. I didn't know that I could meet this thing on the grassland before. I didn't expect General Zhao to kill it a few times." Kung Fu trapped the bear, haha, this is really amazing."

"Haha, it's easy to say, easy to say, there are a lot of wolves and sheep on the grassland, and we may even encounter bison when we go north. Even if we don't meet enemy tribes, it's good to go hunting." Zhao Yun He laughed and said: "It's just that the march outside the Great Wall is different from the Central Plains, so please cooperate with me."

As soon as everyone heard it, they all understood that Zhao Yun was signaling to them to obey orders. However, no one was disgusted with Zhao Yun's attitude. Besides, Zhao Yun had this power, and he was only asking in disguise. .

At the moment, everyone expressed their absolute obedience to the dispatch, in order to cooperate well with this inspection.
