Chapter 52, New Misfortune

"Brother, I think your 300 cavalry, 200 steps of brave combat effectiveness is amazing than let the two pairs compete with each other!" Zu Zhao said consciously.

"Second brother, competition, this sword is eyeless and ruthless, and competition is easy to cause casualties!" Zhao Yun pondered and was a little moved, but he was worried about the casualties. After all, it was the soldiers brought out by himself.

"This is simple. Let the soldiers take down the tip of the gun and replace it with a wooden pole, take down the arrow with the arrow pole, and have a friendly competition!" Zu Zhao proposed that he was a three-foot figure, and he would not stop if he didn't dig out the essence of Zhao Yun's leading soldiers.

The honest Zhao Yun finally nodded.

Dangdu......

Zu Zhao's 300 cavalry on the school yard competed with Zhao Yun's cavalry. What surprised Zu Zhao was that Zhao Yun's cavalry was skillful. In close combat, Zu Zhao's 300 cavalry suffered a great loss. Although there was no fatal greeting, after a friendly competition, Zhao Yun's cavalry was still much higher than Zu Zhao's cavalry in close combat.

Of course, Zu Zhao's wooden spears and bows and arrows also made Zhao Yun's cavalry sweat coldly. This is a competition. The wooden spears are replaced by wooden poles, and the bows and arrows are even more than arrows. But shooting on the body is also painful. If it is a real arrow, I'm afraid it has lost nine times out of ten.

However, Zu Zhao was very dissatisfied and asked his men to respectfully follow Zhao Yun's cavalry to learn shooting skills, and pulled Zhao Yun to let him guide his shooting skills.

Who knew Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "Without my guidance, let your soldiers insist on piercing a thousand times a day, hold the long gun flat with your arms for an hour every day, put a bowl of water on the tip of the long gun, and the water on the tip of the gun can't be sprinkled half a drop within an hour. That's how my soldiers practiced! Don't underestimate these basic skills. Such basic skills determine that my 300 cavalry are 200 steps brave and extraordinary. In close combat, long guns fly up and down, and the surrounding bandits are deterred!"

Zu Zhao nodded, and Zhao Yun's 200-step combat effectiveness was also very strong. If it hadn't been for the speed of the cavalry, his horse would not have taken any advantage.

Zhao Yun was unwilling to give advice, so Zu Zhao simply took a long gun and asked Zhao Yun for advice.

Zu Zhao is proficient in almost all gunmanship. He thinks that he can recognize ordinary gunmanship routines, but when he attacked Zhao Yun, he found that Zhao Yun's gunmanship has no routine at all. He can send and receive hair at will, and the gun turns at will, reaching a state of perfect gunmanship.

Zuzu Zhao is tied up because he is proficient in various routines.

Without the suppression of bows and arrows and the outbreak of vitality, Zu Zhao is no match for Zhao Yun by shooting alone.

"Second brother, you let me take a big advantage. Your strength is very strong, and your divine arrow has abandoned the two. You and I are purely shooting skills, but my brother and I still take advantage of the boss!" Zhao Yun smiled beside him.

Zu Zhao nodded, but what he did today was to get the essence of Zhao Yun's gunmanship.

Still fight to the death...

......

Farewell to Zhao Yun and rushed to Zhuo County, Zu Zhao's Youqi had one more task, that is, to tie a thousand shots before going to bed and hold a bowl of water with the tip of the gun for an hour before going to bed.

Gunnery is an attack method that cavalry must be proficient in.

And the archer has another task before going to bed, which is to look at the bright red dot alone for an hour to keep the archer's eyesight.

And the archer's army has five more copper coins than other arms.

Those who are excellent in shooting are rewarded with five copper coins.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Yun, Zu Zhao formulated a series of measures. Because of the rewards, 300 Youqi did not have any complaints, but had a sense of excitement.

On the way to Zhuo County, it rained heavily, and the accompanying laborers had to stay several times, but they were rejected by Zu Zhao. Now the exiles are in riots, and it is dangerous to leave more food and grass on the road for a moment.

After three or five days, the rain stopped and finally arrived in Zhuojun County.

Report! There is a yellow scarf army attacking Zhuo County. I heard that the city has been besieged for half a month! Now all the rich people have escaped!" The scout of the horse came to report.

Zu Zhao rode on the war horse and saw a cloud of dust rising in the direction of Zhuo County. At this time, the rain had just stopped and could make the dust fly up, indicating that there were so many cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army that they could step out the dry soil under the wet soil and fly up with the dust.

"How many cavalry are there?" Zu Zhao asked calmly.

"Two thousand, it should be a small square team!" Zu Ping said aside that he had already sent Cai Yan to Xu Wu and rushed back day and night.

"more than two thousand? This should be the main force of the Yellow Turban Army!" Zu Zhao knew that the cavalry was very valuable and was the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. Such a scale of 2,000 should be the main force.

"It's Zhang Zhongliang under Cheng Zhiyuan's command. Zhang Zhongliang is extremely powerful. He uses a cooked copper stick. It is said that he has more than 100 catties. Ordinary generals can't take his stick at all. There are two partial generals in Zhuo County who came out to fight against him. As a result, he was killed by him. No general in Zhuo County no longer dares to come out to fight. , for half a month, the gate has been locked and waiting for rescue!"

When Zu Zhao heard that he was waiting for rescue, he felt a great irony. There were reinforcements, that is, the grain governor who escorted the grain and let the grain governor go to the battlefield to relieve the siege. There is only such legend in the Romance of the Gods. What's more, the military strength in front of him is very different. Zu Zhao only has 300 cavalry in his hand, and Zhang Zhongliang is so fierce as Zhang Zhongliang. There are 2,000 cavalry in his hand. No matter how powerful his cavalry is, he can't compete with the other side.

The other party's cavalry is not a bandit-like bag. Zhang Zhongliang bravely crowned the three armies, and there were no weak soldiers under the strong generals, but Zu Zhao did not dare to despise the strength of the other side's cavalry.

"How should we deal with the eldest son?" Zu Anu asked that the current situation is very unfavorable to Zu Zhao. He is the person who escorted grain and grass. If Zhang Zhongliang knew that Zu Zhao had grain and grass here, he would give up Zhuo County as soon as possible, destroy Zu Zhao first, and then collect grain and grass to attack the county again.

"Hear the food and grass!" Zu Zhao said lightly.

"Try all of them, and no one is allowed to go out!" Zu Zhao pointed to the laborer who escorted grain and fodder, and then let the cavalry take these people back slowly.

"Find a remote place, dig a cellar, and then don't forget to bake it with charcoal after digging the cellar. When the cellar is not wet, don't put the grain and grass in. Don't forget to put dry charcoal on the grain and grass after putting it!" Zu Zhao calmly ordered.

"Yes!" Zu Ping led the labor service away.

Without worries about food and fodder, Zu Zhao's heart was immediately relieved.

"Do you want to attack? Shall we let them know that we are coming?" Zu Anu was very excited, and several victories have made him despise the Yellow Turban Army. At this moment, I thought that I would fight against the other party's 2,000 cavalry with 300 cavalry.

"Strong attack is impossible. This is the elite of the Yellow Turban Army. We must use our advantages to repel the enemy!" Zu Zhao ordered people to take out the map and couldn't help frowning at the surrounding terrain. The plain here is open, and once it is caught up by the enemy, the consequences are very unpredictable.

And Zhuo County doesn't seem to have any military land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is no longer possible to fight against enemy soldiers with water and fire like last time.

"Is there nothing the big son can do? Otherwise, let's fight hard. I feel that our combat strength is not ordinary now!" Zu Anu still feels that the opponent's combat effectiveness is not an ordinary scum, which is a sequela of winning the battle.

Bang! He was fanned on the head by Zu Zhao.

"How can we fight casually? Three hundred Youqi's brothers also have parents, wives and children. Once they fight hard, how can you let me explain to their parents? Zu Zhao did not respond to him angrily.

Zu's daughter couldn't help wondering.

"You should tell them that my Zu Zhao is coming!"

Zu Anu was puzzled when she heard that this is not a hard fight?

"Han Dang listened to the order. You are hiding in the Crouching Tiger Ridge. Although it is a hill, it can hide 100 cavalry. Zuping, you lead 100 cavalry to hide in Luofengzhuangzi. Once I attract the other's cavalry, you will immediately attack the left and right wings of the pursuers!"

Zui Zhao gave the order.

"What? Does the eldest son want to lead the army by himself?

Handang couldn't help worrying.

"Of course, I need to go by myself to have an effect!" Zu Zhao laughed.

"That will give the most elite cavalry to the eldest son, and we don't need good cavalry to ambush!" Zu A's daughter said angrily that Zu Zhao could not tolerate any mistakes in his heart.

"Alle!" Han Dang also agreed, and Zu Zhaorong could not miss it.

......

Outside Zhuo County, Zhang Zizhong couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he looked at the wall of Zhuo County. He did not take the small county for 15 consecutive days. His cavalry was already short of people. At least his food and fodder could still support half a month. He deeply hoped to take the Zhuo County in a day or two.

Report! We found a pair of cavalry on the left flank and attacked directly on our left flank!" The scout is waiting to report.

"What? Which team of officers and soldiers came to die? Make dumplings for me! Dare to challenge me, Zhang Zizhong, is he tired of living?

"It's Zu Zhao! Give General Cheng Zhiyuan to the defeated Zu Zhao!" The scout answered carefully, after all, Zu Zhao has become a taboo in the ears of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zuzuo? Are you sure it's him?" Zhang Zizhong raised the scouts as soon as he made it. The name of Zu Zhao was simply thunderous to him. Cheng Zhiyuan had a life-saving kindness to him. He even treated Cheng Zhiyuan as his brother, but Zu Zhao was defeated Cheng Zhiyuan, which made Cheng Zhiyuan, who had a high prestige in the Yellow Turban Army, extremely notorious.
