"Good timing!"
Liu Wei smiled faintly.
Although his military skills were not as good as Xue Rengui, Di Qing, Zhang Liao, or even Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Xun, Liu Du, and others.
However, he is able to think outside the box and act in a wildly imaginative way.
After all, with two thousand years of experience in his mind, even if he hasn't eaten pork, he's certainly seen pigs run.
In the past six months, Liu Wei has experienced more than ten battles, both large and small.
Liu Wei not only participated in the battles of Shanwu, Yunzhong, Hexi, and Loulan, but also played a crucial role in these major battles.
Especially during the siege of Loulan, he led a hundred guards to break through the encirclement of the Cheshi cavalry, stormed into the city, and killed the Loulan traitorous prime minister.
Therefore, by now climbing to a high vantage point and looking into the distance, one can discern the signs of this menacing cavalry force.
It was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, a hastily assembled force of several cavalry units.
This kind of temporary combination is just like the national football team. They seem to have some shortcomings in individual ability at the club level, but they become even more disappointing when they join the national team!
It must have been tough for Yuan Shao, who led the troops.
It seems that all the cavalry of the three colonels of the Northern Army who were surrounding Beiman Mountain were transferred out to form a cavalry unit of a thousand men.
"My lord, when shall we launch our attack?"
Wang Fangyi had already arranged the hundred guards into a small wedge formation, ready to launch an attack at any time.
The guards stood with swords held horizontally in their right hands and crossbows drawn in their left arms, their expressions solemn and menacing.
Meanwhile, the eighteen riders of Yanyun University also put on masks and stood in a row on the hill, like a wall or a tower!
His eyes were like lightning, and his black cloak fluttered in the wind!
They stood proudly in the cold wind, facing thousands of troops in the distance, yet they possessed an indomitable spirit that said, "Even if there are thousands of people, I will still go."
Judging from the looks of it, it seems that Liu Wei has nothing to do with this.
"They've come all the way from Beiman Mountain, while we've had our strength fully rested. If we don't attack now, when will we?"
Liu Wei stared ahead and said coldly, "Commander Wang, lead the Imperial Guard to flank them! Tear their formation apart!"
"The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and I will charge straight for the central army, slay the generals and seize the flag!"
"Here you go!"
The two men's expressions hardened, and they loudly agreed.
"My lord, what about me...?"
Only the remaining member of the Imperial Guard noticed that Liu Wei had left him behind, so he anxiously asked.
"You have an important mission. I'm sending you to face three hundred men alone. Do you have the guts?"
Liu Wei asked with a smile.
"One person against three hundred?"
The Imperial Guards were shocked. "How could we possibly win?"
"Ten thousand miles west of the Western Regions, there lives a dog called the Shepherd Dog, who can watch over hundreds or even thousands of sheep all by himself!"
"The sheep on the grassland are all afraid of him and obey his commands, going wherever he points."
Liu Wei said in a serious tone, "I want you to be that sheepdog, to keep an eye on those three hundred infantrymen."
"Commander Wang, give him two crossbows!"
"If any of these three hundred infantrymen dare to make a move, you can shoot them down from a hundred paces away!"
Upon hearing Liu Wei's words, the Imperial Guard was filled with pride and echoed Liu Wei's earlier words: "My lord, in my opinion, these three hundred men are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!"
"I will definitely keep a close watch on them and prevent them from making the slightest move!"
Liu Wei laughed loudly, pointing the horizontal sword in his hand diagonally forward:
"attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fangyi led his guards to urge their warhorses forward. They put away their swords and then used their feet to cock their crossbows.
They were now more than three miles away from the approaching cavalry, a distance long enough for them to launch at least three mounted arrow volleys.
The opponent may not be able to complete a second shot.
After all, the Han Dynasty's cavalry currently lacks stirrups, while the Imperial Guard's cavalry is equipped with green-quality gear, with saddles and stirrups as standard equipment.
They can move as if on flat ground on horseback, easily switching between their main weapons and loading arrows, and firing steadily from horseback, ensuring the accuracy of their archery.
This advantage alone created a devastating advantage against the cavalry of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Cheshi tribes.
Now, facing the Northern Army cavalry of the Han capital, they also suffer a technological crushing defeat.
One hundred cavalrymen charged like arrows toward the Han Northern Army cavalry coming from the southwest!
Liu Wei and the eighteen riders of Yanyun stood atop the hill, waiting for their chance to strike at the heart of the enemy.
Meanwhile, the Jinyiwei brother spurred his horse toward Li Ying's three hundred soldiers' position.
A bloody battle is about to break out!
......
At this moment, Yuan Shao, riding a tall horse and accompanied by three colonels, Chunyu Qiong, Zhao Rong, and Bao Xin, led a thousand cavalry drawn from three military camps and charged in fiercely.
The remaining three hundred troops who besieged Beiman Mountain last night are also rushing to the scene.
Yuan Shao was very certain of this.
Although he had already seen that Liu Wei's guard cavalry were exceptionally strong, they only numbered one hundred, and he could wear them down with a piecemeal approach!
Moreover, he had already received intelligence that He Jin had also brought a thousand soldiers out of Luoyang.
With these two thousand men surrounding him, plus the high walls and garrison at the Mengjin ferry crossing, Liu Wei had no chance of escape.
If Liu Wei is not dealt with on the banks of the Yellow River today, he will surely become a major threat once he returns to the borderlands.
It should be noted that Liu Wei, now holding the title of General Zhenbei, has the legal authority to establish his own government and wield a large army.
His existence poses a significant threat to the Yuan family and the interest groups they represent.
After all, the Yuan family is now clearly standing under the banner of the Prince of Hongnong!
However, when Yuan Shao arrived at Mengjin Ferry with a thousand cavalry, he also discovered Li Ying's infantry and a hundred cavalry on the hill.
