The White Horse Cavalry!

As time flew by, a few rays of light gradually appeared in the east. The chill of the night was dispelled by these few glimmers of light…

The wind howled in his ears, and Zhao Yun's face was tense. His eyes were fixed on what was ahead.

Over five thousand cavalrymen galloped across the flat plains, their momentum undeniable… They needed to reach Jieqiao as quickly as possible and break through before Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could react. This was precisely Zhao Yun's plan; after all, five thousand cavalrymen were a formidable force, but unfortunately, the enemy had two hundred thousand troops.

"To act rashly is not in Zhao Yun's nature. It'll be soon..."

The flat plains turned into an official road. Following this road down... "Ah!" Suddenly, several exclamations came from beside us, followed by the sound of horses neighing in pain.

"Rein in your horses! Silence!" Zhao Yun suddenly noticed that several cavalrymen at the front had been thrown from their horses at the same time, and he knew something was wrong. He quickly shouted again to give the order to the entire army.

"Whoa!" As expected of the elite, the five thousand cavalrymen reined in their horses almost simultaneously. With a pull from their masters, the horses stood upright, their front hooves making two light taps in the air before slamming hard onto the ground, snorting loudly and exhaling a puff of hot air.

Zhao Yun abruptly dismounted and walked towards the cavalrymen who had been thrown more than ten meters away. He saw them struggling to get up, but ultimately they failed.

"Huh?" Suddenly Zhao Yun felt his right foot slip and then return to solidity, almost getting a kick.

He crouched down for a closer look and saw that the pit was only the size of a fist. It wasn't deep, but… Zhao Yun suddenly pushed aside the weeds on the ground and immediately saw many similar pits. Looking up into the distance, he saw… a dense array of…

"What's going on?" Wei Geng, the White Horse Cavalry Commander, approached and asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, why did you order the horses to be reined in?"

"Look!" Zhao Yun pointed to the rows of pits on the ground.

"Hiss!" Wei Geng gasped in surprise. He glanced at the few remaining cavalrymen who had been helped up by Tong Ze, and his heart tightened. He secretly admired and was relieved by Zhao Yun's decisive action. Wei Geng could easily guess what would have happened to the cavalrymen who had fallen into such a trap while galloping at full speed.

If Zhao Yun hadn't shouted in time, half of the five thousand cavalrymen would probably have fallen, and each fall would have been... Wei Geng looked at the few limping horses with unbearable pity.

"How ruthless!" Wei Geng cursed under his breath, for the fist-sized hole was just big enough to fit a horse's hoof; if someone fell in, there was a high chance the horse would break its leg… "Damn it!" Bai Ma Yi, the chieftain Ma Shang, arrived and saw the scene. He frowned and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, what should we do now?"

The person who devised this plan probably didn't want them to be caught off guard on the road... If the cavalry loses their footing, what use will they be? It seems there must be an ambush ahead on this road!

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, thinking that revealing this matter would surely damage the morale of his soldiers, and said, "Now that we are close to Yuan and Cao's camps, it is only natural that we have some traps to guard against us. Let us slow down our advance for now and tell them after we have left this road."

"Huh?" Wei Geng glanced at Zhao Yun in surprise, then suddenly realized he had given him a wink. He exchanged glances with the other officers and all said, "That's right! We've ridden all this way. Our horses are exhausted. Why don't we let them rest..."

That's what they said, but the officers were actually quite anxious. They were less than a day's journey from Yuan and Cao's camps. If they were discovered, it would be an overwhelming blow. But they also knew that proceeding slowly was the best course of action. Damn it, that bastard devised this plan; he was truly ruthless!

The remaining cavalrymen, suppressing their grief, killed the horses whose legs had been broken.

Watching them kneel before the dead horse, weeping bitterly, Zhao Yun gripped his silver spear tightly and closed his eyes… “Achoo!”

"Have you caught a cold, sir?" Xiahou Shen looked at Jiang Zhe, who was sneezing repeatedly, with surprise. "It's nothing, I'm used to it!" Jiang Zhe pinched the bridge of his nose. He said calmly, "Miaocai, is there any news about those cavalrymen?"

"Reporting to you, sir. Those White Horse Cavalry are indeed heading towards the boundary bridge as you predicted!" Xiahou Yuan said with admiration.

"Oh!" Jiang Zhe nodded, then suddenly asked, "Miao Cai, the ambush, the matter..."

"Returning to my former life, this matter was handled entirely by Zixiao, who followed his orders. He and General Juyi have made all the necessary preparations. We are only awaiting the arrival of the White Horse Cavalry..."

"Report!" A messenger rushed into the novel shop.

"What is it?" Jiang Zhe asked, looking at the person who had come.

"Sir, smoke signals have appeared three hundred li away!"

"What?" Jiang Zhe stood up abruptly, exclaiming in astonishment. "They arrived so quickly!" He then turned to Xiahou Yuan and said, "Yes, sir." "Miao Cai, you go and lend Zi Xiao a hand too. This cavalry force is not so simple!"

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!" Xiahou Yuan accepted the order and left.

The image of the young general, "Zhao Zilong of Changshan," involuntarily flashed through Jiang Zhe's mind, and he smiled faintly. He sighed and said, "Don't blame me..."

"Sir?" Xiahou Shen asked curiously, "Who is this Zhao Zilong of Changshan? Could it be that he has some past connection with you?"

"..." Jiang Zhe glanced at Xiahou Shen and said with a smile, "Yuan Rang, since the campaign against Lü Bu, have you 'fallen behind' in terms of knowledge?"

Xiahou Ji looked at Jiang Zhe's smiling expression. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead; he had completely forgotten… "What the master said…"

The novel shop "clack clack clack..."

Zhao Yun glanced at the blazing sun in the sky and shouted, "Gentlemen, hurry! Hurry!"

"Ding Long!" Wei Geng pointed sharply to the side and shouted, "Smoke signal!" Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed. He cursed under his breath; this was the fourth time already!

The closer they got to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's camp, the less Zhao Yun dared to delay, fearing they would be entangled by the main army. They had already encountered another force... Li Dian was incredibly unlucky; he had only come out to patrol the surrounding area when he unexpectedly ran into Zhao Yun's White Horse Cavalry.

The novel depicts four thousand against five thousand infantry against cavalry. Li Dian's army was routed by Zhao Yun's White Horse Cavalry... Seeing his soldiers being killed, Li Dian flew into a rage and charged forward recklessly.

The White Horse Cavalry were highly skilled in martial arts, but they were still somewhat inferior to Li Dian, and it wasn't long before Li Dian killed several of their riders.

Just as he was feeling smug, Li Dian suddenly noticed a general charging straight at him with a spear. He turned his horse around and drew his sword to block the attack.

"Clang!" The clash of swords and spears produced a metallic clang.

Li Dian suddenly felt a heavy weight on his body, and was taken aback when he saw the general dressed as a mere earl. He was even more astonished. A mere earl… Li Dian launched several fierce attacks with his sword, but Zhao Yun easily repelled them all with his spear. This left Li Dian utterly astonished; when had his martial arts become so weak that he couldn't even defeat an earl?

"Zilong, let's go! It'll be terrible if we get entangled!" Wei Geng shouted as he saw Zhao Yun fighting with Cao Cao's general. He didn't realize that if Zhao Yun was truly determined to kill Li Dian, it would only take one round.

Hearing Wei Geng's words, Zhao Yun forced Li Dian back with a single spear thrust. He then shouted to his cavalry, "Everyone, advance! I'll cover your retreat!"

"Drink!" The cavalrymen shouted in response, gathered together and charged straight ahead, throwing Li Dian's army into disarray.

"Don't be so arrogant, general. We're here to fight you!" Three generals suddenly spurred their horses and charged out from Li Dian's army.

Li Dian was about to step forward when he suddenly saw three of his subordinate captains riding straight towards "Zhao Zilong." He thought to himself, "These three are skilled in martial arts; they should be able to..."

Before Li Dian could finish speaking, the three chieftains he had entrusted with important responsibilities were killed by Zhao Yun with his spear.

"One against three..." Li Dian was amazed by the sharpness of the spearmanship, but a slight fear crept into his heart... "...Even when I faced my own three chieftains, I couldn't defeat them in several rounds......and this 'Zhao Zilong' was taking them down one by one with a single spear thrust... "Terrifying..." "Who else?" Zhao Yun reined in his horse and coldly surveyed his surroundings. The Cao soldiers who were caught in his gaze shrank back and took a step back.

Li Dian took a deep breath, spurred his horse forward, and raised his sword, declaring, "I will fight you!"

Zhao Yun frowned, glanced at Li Dian, and said calmly, "You are no match for me. You would only be wasting your life!"

Li Dian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It is my duty; I will not regret it even if it means death!"

Zhao Yun's eyes shifted slightly as he gave Li Dian a deep look, then slowly raised his spear... and the two weapons met. Zhao Yun's spear pierced Li Dian's shoulder, and Li Dian immediately fell from his horse, surrounded by his guards. "You have something to say, so I won't kill you..." "Zilong!" Wei Geng shouted from afar, "Go!"

"I understand!" Zhao Yun replied, then glanced coldly at the Cao soldiers who were vaguely blocking his way. He spurred his horse and charged straight ahead. The Cao soldiers who were blocking his path couldn't even withstand a single blow and were all killed by Zhao Yun.

"Let him go!" Li Dian shouted at the top of his lungs. Not wanting his soldiers to make any more unnecessary sacrifices, he vaguely understood. This commander of the White Horse Cavalry was no ordinary man; perhaps only generals like Xiahou Ju and Xiahou Yuan could stop him… Hearing their general's command, the Cao soldiers hurriedly stepped aside, secretly hoping that Zhao Yun, this god of war, would leave as soon as possible…

Zhao Yun glanced back at Li Dian indifferently, then flicked his silver spear and spurred his horse away. Li Dian struggled to his feet and shouted, "That general, dare you leave your name?"

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan!" came Zhao Yun's reply from afar.

I owe you my life, Zhao Zilong of Changshan. "Ahead lies a trap set by the master..." "Good luck..." "General? Quickly, escort the general back to camp!"

Zhao Yun rode back to the ranks, and Wei Geng said with a smile, "Zilong is truly valiant, fighting three against one. He killed his opponents with his spear in the blink of an eye, haha! By the way, why didn't you kill that Cao general?"

"Although I wounded him, it will take some time to kill him, and then I won't be able to catch up with you all!" Zhao Yun said, seemingly serious but actually feigning nonchalance.

"I see!" Wei Geng nodded, echoing, "Indeed, as a general under Cao Cao, if he didn't have some ability, wouldn't he have been killed long ago? Zilong is right. He can earn merit everywhere. Now, the most urgent task is to break through the encirclement. Damn it, if I find out who set this trap, I'll kill them!"

"Hehe!" Zhao Yun chuckled, gazing ahead calmly, and said, "I think we'll see it very soon..."

"Reporting to Mr. Qi!" A messenger rushed into Jiang Zhe's tent, "Smoke signals have appeared a hundred miles away!"

"Wow!" That's fast! Jiang Zhe's expression changed slightly. He stood up and said, "Yuan Rang, come with me to meet those cavalry!"

Xiahou Shen, who was stammering as he recited military strategy, was overjoyed upon hearing Jiang Zhe's words, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon. He shouted, "Yes, Your Majesty! This subordinate obeys!"

Ignoring Xiahou Huang, Jiang Zhe lifted the tent flap and walked out.

Could it be you? With his hands behind his back, Jiang Zhe looked at the Cao soldiers in the camp who were repeatedly saluting him. He let out a soft sigh, "Each serves their own master… What a pity…"
