Chapter 392 Extreme Speed
"Gongsun Zan is a talented general!"
Looking at Gongsun Zan who led the White Horse Volunteers to avoid the strong and attack the weak, Tian Ze could not help but admire him.
A person who relies solely on bravery in fighting can never become a good general and would have died in the chaos of war long ago.
Of course, if one is as brave as Xiang Yu, he can be ignored, but Gongsun Zan is obviously not one of them.
"A man who can become the leader of a region cannot be a stupid person. Gongsun Zan has extremely sharp intuition in cavalry combat." Guo Jia said without surprise.
However, the "surprise" that Gongsun Zan brought to the two had just begun.
The White Horse Volunteers stabbed into Zhang Liao's flank like a sharp blade.
Zhang Liao was unable to deal with the situation at this time.
Both sides were confronting each other. In this situation, he could not immediately turn around to encircle and suppress the White Horse Volunteers led by Gongsun Zan. He could only slightly tilt the angle and prepare to counterattack in an arc.
The trident penetrated into the Xiliang cavalry fiercely with unstoppable force.
However, Zhang Liao soon noticed something was wrong.
The other party is avoiding!
Although they seemed to be charging very smoothly, the Xiliang cavalry in front of them were dispersing to both sides very smoothly, as if they were actively splitting into two.
Although it did not result in Zhang Liao's troops hitting empty space, it greatly reduced the casualties.
"The speed of these Xiliang cavalry is a bit too fast." Zhang Liao couldn't help but frowned.
After "breaking through" a group of Xiliang cavalry, Zhang Liao discovered that the Xiliang cavalry had consciously taken a detour from both sides. For a moment, he could not find any enemy.
The elite cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci faced the same situation.
Such a large-scale cavalry battle could not possibly consist of a cavalry charge of tens of thousands of people, and it must be divided into many military formations.
And the military formation where their "trident" was located seemed to be "isolated".
Behind the Xiliang army, Han Sui watched this scene and sneered slightly.
"For cavalry, speed is everything!"
Why was Han Sui so "loyal" to Gongsun Zan?
It was because he deeply understood Gongsun Zan's strength, a strength that made the cavalry of the time despair.
Especially in a place like Xiliang, Gongsun Zan is like a "god".
Such a powerful Gongsun Zan was exactly what Han Sui had been dreaming of.
He pushed his talent to the extreme, and even someone as cold and gloomy as Han Sui couldn't help but feel heroic and have a fanatical look on his face.
"This is what I'm pursuing, the strongest power!"
Each of the gorgeous flowers that grow in the barren land is stunningly beautiful, but of course, most of them are poisonous.
Han Sui's talent is extremely rare in this world.
It can simulate the status bonus of an army and affect its own soldiers on a large scale.
This talent is very strong, but the most important thing is that it requires the cooperation of a very strong general.
Gongsun Zan and Ma Chao in history just made up for this.
Even from an overall perspective, the White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan are the perfect match for Han Sui.
The White Horse Volunteers have extreme speed, and even if Han Sui can only simulate a part of it, it is enough to crush any cavalry with talents that are not mainly based on speed.
This means that one hundred thousand cavalrymen have terrifying mobility and tactical space.
In cavalry combat, having an absolute advantage in speed means being able to attack when advancing and retreat when retreating, harass from a distance and attack the camp nearby.
Especially when Jun Tianze fought with cavalry and did not send out crossbowmen.
Han Sui's eyes were fixed in the direction of Tian Ze.
"The strongest man in the world, please be defeated here this time!"
Fa Zheng, who was standing by, was also looking at the situation in front of him in shock. He had expected Han Sui to go a certain way, but he had never thought that he would go so far.
"Wen Yue, your talent is ridiculously strong."
Han Sui heard this and smiled confidently, saying calmly: "As long as the lord is not defeated, I will not lose."
Fa Zheng looked at Han Sui deeply.
Han Sui knew what Fa Zheng meant, but he had no intention of explaining.
That’s right, the prerequisites for activating his talent are relatively harsh, and the stronger the talent, the more stringent it is.
These 100,000 cavalrymen not only lived with the White Horse Volunteers day and night, but were also extremely fanatical about them and Gongsun Zan, and had the confidence that they were invincible.
He can only cooperate with the strongest, and the strongest cannot lose.
Once Gongsun Zan was defeated, these 100,000 cavalry would be defeated in an instant.
The combination of Gongsun Zan and Han Sui made Zhang Liao and his three generals feel extremely pressured at this time.
Although they were clearly the party with the advantage in terms of combat power, the initiative of the battle was always firmly in the hands of Gongsun Zan and Han Sui.
The elite cavalry led by the three men could not catch up with Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers. No matter where they rushed, the surrounding Xiliang cavalry would flee with them.
The White Horse Volunteers led by Gongsun Zan attacked all the way, and even if they rushed and fled at the same time, they could not catch up.
When the more elite soldiers among the Xiliang cavalry encountered them, they simply left behind a small number of cavalry to cover their retreat, and then retreated in formation relying on their speed advantage.
When the slower auxiliary troops and Hu cavalry encountered them, they simply scattered like birds and beasts, and then spread out like wings to the rear of the rest of the Xiliang cavalry formation.
The Xiliang soldiers, relying on their speed advantage, were always able to find the right moment to outnumber the enemy.
What a bummer!
At this moment, Zhang Liao and the other two felt that the enemy was right before their eyes but they could not hit him.
Now they finally understood why so many people believed that the White Horse Volunteers were the best cavalry in the world.
When the speed reaches its limit, you can really do whatever you want.
The brave Zhang Liao cavalry, the undefeated Zhao Yun cavalry, and the almighty Taishi Ci cavalry, at this moment all seemed like prey surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Even though Zhang Liao tried his best to command and dispatch the troops, it was still difficult to reverse the downward trend.
Although the casualties on both sides were similar due to the huge gap in strength, for Zhang Liao, such a situation meant defeat.
"Gongsun Bogui is truly peerless!"
Looking at the figure in white armor cutting through the waves, the three of them sighed sincerely.
The extreme speed left them far behind.
In the rear, Guo Jia, who had been observing the battle situation, frowned slightly.
"Fengxiao, what do you think? Is there any solution to this situation?" Tian Ze asked with a slight headache.
He had thought that Gongsun Zan would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to be this difficult.
Although if they continued to fight like this, he would most likely still be the winner with all his trump cards, but at best it would be a miserable victory, a situation he could not accept in any way.
Guo Jia looked at the White Horse Volunteers who were running rampant among the thousands of troops.
"Your Majesty, the 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry are connected with the White Horse Volunteers, which is why they have such a strong fighting force. The best way is to destroy the White Horse Volunteers."
His eyes swept lightly over Gao Shun beside him and fell on Qu Yi.
"The first to attack will be the one who can break the deadlock."
Although it was a cavalry battle, who stipulated that cavalry could not use crossbows?
Crossbowmen are also cavalry.
