Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 644 - 609: A Worthy Opponent and a Good Match

"Report, General, our scouts have encountered the enemy, and it is confirmed that there are two thousand cavalry lying in ambush ahead." The scout squad leader reported the intelligence to Zhao Yun, "They are likely part of Lyu Bu’s army, under the command of Zhang Liao."

"Lyu Bu’s army?" Zhao Yun raised an eyebrow, "Order the army to be ready, have the infantry form a formation to protect the military advisor, and let the White Horse Soldiers await my command!"

Although Zhao Yun felt it was incredible that Lyu Bu’s army would launch an attack, various unbelievable things had occurred on the battlefield before.

"The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? Let me see what makes you worthy to be listed among the three greatest cavalry forces alongside the White Horse Soldiers." Zhao Yun looked at the horizon, where he could already see the dust rising from the ground, a phenomenon caused by the thundering of thousands of horses.

"Such an undisguised move, are they looking for a direct confrontation? Right, compared to the three great cavalry forces, the White Horse Soldiers are the weakest in close combat." Chen Xi had already received the intelligence passed by Zhao Yun, but he was puzzled as to why Zhang Liao would attack at this time, from any perspective it was illogical.

"Each man with two horses? Lyu Fengxian still possesses such strength; this must be his most elite troops," Zhao Yun murmured to himself, yet without a trace of fear.

With a point of his long spear, Zhao Yun’s White Horse Soldiers charged towards the enemy like rolling waves, the leading white horse shooting forth at an abnormal speed, as if loosed from a bow, straight towards the opposition.

"To death!" Zhang He bellowed, his body suddenly erupting with silver Inner Qi, and right then a huge silver Light Shield appeared over the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. With another roar, Zhang He unleashed a several hundred meters long Light Blade slashing viciously towards Zhao Yun’s direction.

Zhao Yun frowned, focusing on Zhang He’s direction. He found it strange; in his perception, Zhang He was not so weak. Although such an attack could be considered powerful, to be honest, it wouldn’t even harm Zhao Yun, let alone disperse the troops’ Cloud Qi.

Zhao Yun thrust forward with his spear casually, without leveraging the White Horse Soldiers’ Cloud Qi. The tip of his spear met the Light Blade, and then the Light Blade was sent flying as Zhao Yun flicked it away effortlessly.

This scene left Zhang He utterly dumbfounded. He began to understand why Yann Liang had told him not to attempt tricks with Zhao Yun – this was simply not a normal tactic!

In the moment of Zhang He’s astonishment, the White Horse Soldiers had already charged to within a hundred paces of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry’s charge formation. To Zhang He’s incredulous gaze, they drew their bows and let fly their arrows, the projectiles hurtling across the hundred paces to meet their targets!

"The White Horse Soldiers!" Zhang He was shocked. If there was one cavalry he knew best and hated the most in the world, it was undoubtedly the White Horse Soldiers. Back then, even with Yuan Shao’s superior numbers and generals, they were no match for Gongsun Zan, all because of the White Horse Soldiers. This type of soldier was too fast, unreasonably fast!

If it weren’t for Juo Yi’s Frontier Bridge battle where they had the advantage of time, terrain, and people, the White Horse Soldiers could go anywhere unimpeded in the world. They were far too fast, with everything invested in their speed, the fastest cavalry!

"Pfft pfft pfft~" In the first clash, a dozen of Zhang He’s Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had been unhorsed, with many more Wolf Knight Soldiers taking arrows. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry weren’t there just for show; once the arrow rain fell, they immediately returned fire with their mounted archery.

Zhao Yun glanced at the losses suffered by Zhang He’s side and made an estimate. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was not easy to deal with. Apart from retaining the basic limitations of Inner Qi, most of their Qi was used to enhance speed. Naturally, the attacks of the White Horse Soldiers were not very powerful; however, the defense of the Wolf Cavalry wasn’t particularly robust either.

"Pfft, pfft!" Another barrage of arrows rained down. Compared to the all-rounded capabilities of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the primary attack method of the White Horse Soldiers was actually mounted archery!

Confident in their mounted archery, the White Horse Soldiers shot their second arrow the moment their enemy released their arrows. Then, as if telepathically in sync, all the White Horses sharply veered to both sides with astonishing speed. At the same time, they withdrew more arrows from their quivers, ready to launch the third volley!

"Spread out and exterminate!" Zhang He was confident that his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could withstand the mounted archery of the White Horse Soldiers, closing in on them while returning fire and ultimately clamping down on the enemy.

The Wolf Cavalry, already infuriated by the three waves of arrow barrages from the White Horses, had never been at such a disadvantage. As soon as Zhang He gave the command, the Wolf Cavalry cast aside all reservations and dispersed, pouncing towards the White Horse Soldiers. Compared to large-scale battles, the Wolf Cavalry was more suited to wolf pack tactics!

"Pfft!" Relying on their astonishing mobility and firing speed, the White Horse Soldiers rapidly turned the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry into casualties.

However, the continuous firing meant the White Horse Soldiers had to keep shooting to maintain stability, and the Wolf Cavalry was not slow either. While the White Horse Soldiers fired recklessly from outside the counterattack range, the Wolf Cavalry endured the attack, flanking from the rear and front and ruthlessly pursuing their targets.

The Wolf Cavalry retaliated from all directions, and it didn’t take long to restrain the White Horses. After a flurry of arrows from both sides, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry firmly bit into the White Horses, and the two sides engaged in a fierce and inexorable battle!

Soon, the White Horses and Wolf Cavalry became entangled in a melee. The Wolf Cavalry’s pack strategy was aimed at wearing down the enemy bit by bit, similar to the circling mounted archery of the White Horse Soldiers, both focused on grinding down the opponent.

As a result, it was a deadlock where evenly matched opponents encountered capable adversaries. You, the White Horse, would send a flurry of arrows my way, and I, the Wolf Cavalry, would return the favor. Then, seizing the opportunity while the White Horses dodged at high speed, I would launch a disruptive charge!

Similarly, when the Wolf Cavalry made a charge, the swiftly dodging White Horses would immediately return fire with a burst of rapid archery, unique to them. This ultra-fast shooting was enough to disrupt the Wolf Cavalry’s charge. But the Wolf Cavalry was also adept at mounted archery; once the charge stopped, they would promptly raise their bows to counterattack, engaging in a battle that was nothing short of enjoyable for both sides.

Zhang He sighed deeply at this spectacle. Had Xun Shen and the others completed the conquest of Bingzhou sooner, leading the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry back, the world would not have attributed Yuan Shao’s victory at Jieqiao to luck!

"Zhao Zilong, dare you accept a challenge?" Zhang He bellowed, leading dozens of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry towards Zhao Yun.

Now, with the Qi of Zhang He and Zhao Yun entwined in the battle and the massacre continuing unabated between the armies, Inner Qi was basically suppressed. Under these circumstances, Zhang He was not afraid of Zhao Yun. After all, he, who had lost to Guan Yu’s ultimate knowledge during the battle at Leling, had already achieved Inner Qi Manifestation and was not inferior after accumulating his strength!

Zhao Yun looked with some distress at the White Horse Soldiers fighting against the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, well aware that only through combat could they become sharper. However, they were indeed facing the elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry – damn that Zhang Liao! (To be continued.
