After Gongsun Zan finished giving orders to Yan Gang, he still strictly guarded the team and had no intention of launching an attack.

It was not until the Yellow Turban army had marched more than a mile and the infantry formation was fully deployed that they shouted: "Attack."

"Kill." "Charge." Bai Mayi roared and rushed towards the Yellow Turban Infantry Camp. Halfway there, he split into two teams like a wave.

One group, led by Yan Gang, faced the cavalry led by Zhao Bahu. Gongsun Zan personally led other cavalry to bypass Zhao Bahu and still rush towards the infantry square.

Zhao Bahu was leading his troops to charge, hoping to meet the attack of the White Horse Yi Cong head-on. Unexpectedly, the opponent split his troops into two. Seeing Gongsun Zan still charging towards the infantry square, he suddenly became panicked.

Zhao Bahu turned his horse's head and ignored Yan Gang, who was rushing from the front. Instead, he led his cavalry to attack Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

Yan Gang was furious when he saw this. Zhao Bahu's behavior was undoubtedly a kind of contempt for him. He immediately chased after him and vowed to behead the opponent. Gongsun Zan also did not expect that Zhao Bahu was so brave. He originally had two thousand people.

For Liangqian, I have already given him a lot of face, and yet he dares to provoke me again.

The corner of his mouth curled up in a sneer, and a hint of sinisterness flashed across his handsome face. Gongsun Zan immediately led his cavalry to meet him.

Seven thousand cavalrymen were fighting together in an instant, with horses neighing and people screaming, and sand and rocks flying.

Seeing such a fierce battle, Xu Kang had no intention of stopping to help. Instead, he urged the infantry to move forward quickly. He must not let down the chance that the cavalry had fought to win.

Gongsun Zan brandished his double-headed iron gun and picked off several Yellow Turban cavalrymen. However, these thieves did not know what kind of magic they had, and they were not afraid of death. He raised his head and saw the Yellow Turban army in the distance walking away.

The farther away you are, the more furious you become.

"Don't be obsessed with fighting, just rush out with me." Gongsun Zan shouted and rushed forward brandishing a double-headed iron spear.

The white horse Yi Cong next to him heard his call, immediately gave up the opponent he was entangled with, and gathered behind his horse. As the attack deepened, more and more cavalry were behind Gongsun Zan.

When he was about to rush out of the melee area, a team of nearly two thousand people had already gathered behind him.

Zhao Bahu was in a panic when he saw that he was surrounded by officers and soldiers and could not rush out in a short time, so he had to shout: "Stop them, don't let them move forward."

Dozens of the nearby Yellow Turban cavalry responded to his call and rushed directly in front of Gongsun Zan without thinking about the gap between the two sides. However, they were quickly overwhelmed by the cavalry led by him like a mantis holding a chariot, without causing any waves.

This melee has gone beyond the imagination of both parties.

Although the Knights of the Steel Sword fought bravely, regardless of life and death, the number was too small after all. In the end, the White Horse Yi Cong were allowed to rush out and launch a harassing attack on the Yellow Turban Infantry Square.

Seeing the opponent's cavalry rushing over, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had already had a shadow in their hearts, panicked, and the formation was immediately unstable.

Xu Kang had to beat his horse and shout around: "Don't panic, don't lock them up, keep moving forward, never stop."

The Yellow Turban soldiers had no choice but to continue to move forward little by little, driven by the supervising battle groups of each battalion.

Closer, closer, when the morning light from the east shines on the earth, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army can finally see the walls of Fanyang City.

The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was greatly boosted.

At this time, Xu Kang shouted instead: "Stabilize, stabilize the formation, don't mess up. We can see Fanyang City, and we can enter the city soon. We must not mess up at this time."

Gongsun Zan also seemed to realize that there were not many opportunities left for him to attack. He changed from the previous harassing attack and launched an upright frontal attack for the first time.

The armies of both sides were finally able to face each other in a hand-to-hand battle, and the scale of the battle became even more fierce.

Thanks to Xu Kang's reminder just now, even under the agitation, the Yellow Turban Army still maintained its basic battle formation, so Gongsun Zan's cavalry did not gain much advantage this time.

As time went by, the numerical advantage of the Yellow Turban Army began to show up little by little. Gongsun Zan knew that there was nothing he could do and could not get entangled any longer, otherwise it would probably be self-defeating. So he whistled and quickly led the White Horse Yi Cong out of contact with the Yellow Turban Army.

, disappeared into the vast horizon in the blink of an eye.

But the Yellow Turban Army still did not dare to relax and commanded the large troops to enter the city quickly. It was not until everyone was settled that the generals really felt like they had narrowly escaped death.

The intensity of this war was so intense that even Xu Kang was frightened when he thought about it now.

Fifty thousand tribesmen broke out from Zhuocheng this time. Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of people were killed by Gongsun Zan's cavalry along the way, and countless others were injured.

During this period, if Zhao Bahu had not led the Steel Sword Knight Battalion to rescue him desperately and hold back Gongsun Zan's army, the number of deaths of the Yellow Turban Army would have doubled, and the Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County might even collapse.

Everyone was frightened when they thought of this.

However, this war was not completely without benefits for Xu Kang. As soon as his troops were settled in the city, Cheng Yuanzhi led a group of generals to find Xu Kang and asked him to immediately reorganize a cavalry team like the Steel Sword Knights Battalion.

The generals have realized the huge role of cavalry on the battlefield, and those who were dissatisfied with Xu Kang's waste of huge resources to build cavalry were completely convinced this time.

But all this happened when the Steel Sword Knight Battalion was almost completely wiped out.

When Xu Kang found Zhao Bahu, he was squatting in front of the memorial tablets of the fallen soldiers, crying like a child.

It’s no wonder that although the Steel Sword Knights Battalion was formed by Xu Kang, it was Zhao Bahu who really put in the effort. It was under his leadership that the Youzhou Cavalry was able to expand to two thousand people. But who

He didn't expect that just one night's work would cost him a year of hard work.

But people are dead, and no amount of sorrow can restore them. Now they have to consider how to let the living people continue to live.

On the afternoon when Cheng Yuanzhi asked Xu Kang to organize the cavalry, he had already drawn up the charter and started taking action.

All idle or unnecessary war horses were gathered together and sent to the camp of the Steel Sword Knight Camp.

And Xu Kang also began to select knights from among the soldiers.

The requirements for recruiting knights this time are very clear. Firstly, your riding skills will not be considered, and secondly, your martial arts will not be taken into account. The only criterion is your enthusiasm for Taiping Dao and whether you are willing to devote yourself to Taiping Dao.

Because Xu Kang understands that they can only stay in Fan Yang for a few days at most, and then they have to leave the city and head north. If you want to build a cavalry in a few days, it can only be done by gods descending to earth, so for the current cavalry, Xu Kang

Kang's requirement is that when they meet the enemy, they must bite the enemy and fight to the death without retreating.
