Chapter 131: Zhang Liao, stunned (please subscribe)

When everyone saw the emperor's persistence, they stopped trying to persuade him.

"Since His Majesty insists on conducting the expedition in person, then bring more troops and horses." Gai Xun said.

"Please let me arrange it myself, my beloved," Liu Ming said.

As for the details of marching and fighting, Liu Ming was an outsider. The smart thing to do was to leave it to those generals with rich combat experience. Gai Xun was undoubtedly competent.

Liu Ming called Zhang Liao and Cao Cao closer and said: "When it comes to commanding the cavalry, among the generals who are marching to Wen County this time, there is no one who has the right of Wenyuan, so he should be the leader.

"I know that Meng De is well versed in strategy and is prudent in his actions. I should work hard to assist him. This battle is of great importance. You two must work together to win the battle."

Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said: "Obey the order!"

Cao Cao looked solemn, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this attack will definitely let the Huns taste the power of our Han cavalry!"

"Very good! Go down and get ready!" Liu Ming felt relieved.

Cao Cao had been an official in Luoyang for a long time and was a Yuanlao-level general of the Xiyuan Army. While he was freely entering and exiting the General's Mansion and chatting with He Jin, Zhang Liao had just been transferred from Bingzhou to the General's Mansion and was just a small captain.

In today's terms, he was not even qualified to serve when others were drinking. But later Zhang Liao entered the palace and led Chunyu Qiong's remnant army to become a member of the Xiyuan Army. He was also promoted to the right captain. In terms of qualifications, he must be Not as good as Cao Cao.

Liu Ming knew that Cao Cao was very suspicious, and now asked Cao Cao to assist Zhang Liao. If he became dissatisfied, it would be fatal to the march and the battle.

Fortunately, Cao Cao during this period was still aware of the overall situation and taking the overall situation into consideration. Seeing His Majesty's enlightenment, he immediately expressed his attitude, which made everyone feel relieved.

The army immediately took action. Zhang Liao and Cao Cao led 3,500 cavalry to the north of Wen County. The Baibo bandits had not yet established a stable foothold there and the troops were still marching down the city. It was the best time to attack.

Liu Ming, Gai Xun, and Liu Biao led 2,000 archers from the Shesheng Battalion and 4,000 infantry to support them from behind.

Xu Huang was left to hold on to the camp. After all, he was going to fight the Baibo Army. Liu Ming was worried that Xu Huang would feel sad about this, so he did not let him fight directly in front of the battle. This was also for Xu Huang's consideration.

When the sergeants saw that His Majesty the Emperor was marching and fighting with them, their morale immediately rose. Everyone was eager to try and make some contributions to show the Emperor. Maybe if His Majesty was happy, he could be promoted on the spot.

Gai Xun has experienced hundreds of battles, and he was originally worried about losing this battle. After all, His Majesty is in the army, and the consequences if he fails will be disastrous. Now that he sees that his morale is usable, he can't help but feel a little more confident.

Let's say that Zhang Liao and Cao Cao rushed northward with their cavalry like a whirlwind.

Zhang Liao had long heard about Lu Bu's reputation for leading the Yue Cavalry Battalion to kill the Black Mountain Bandits in Huai County. This time he had more cavalry than Lu Bu had at that time, and he also had the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that he trusted. He believed that he would be able to defeat the enemy. Lu Bu's achievements.

While guarding the border of Bingzhou, Zhang Liao secretly competed with Lu Bu. Although he felt inferior in terms of martial arts, he had never surrendered in terms of cavalry command. This time he went to fight the Huns with confidence in victory.

Ten miles of land was nothing in front of the galloping cavalry, and it arrived quickly.

Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo had just arrived at Wenxian City. The soldiers who had arrived first were setting up camp. The troops behind them stretched for several miles and were still marching here. The cavalry escorted them on both sides of the team along the road to prevent enemy attacks.

Yang Feng and Han Xian went out of the city to meet them, preparing to take Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo into the city to live there. How could it be possible for these two big shots to live in a tent outside the city in this frozen world?

"How about going to Beibei?" Yu Fuluo asked angrily.

Han Xian hurriedly laughed and said: "Back to Shanyu, Qubei was hit by an arrow in the back. It did not hurt any vital parts. Now the arrow has been taken out. His wrist is also injured, but the problem is not serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

"What a waste." Yu Fuluo said angrily, "He boasted about being a prairie warrior, but he was beaten to the point of death by a corrupt and incompetent Han general. I want to demote him!"

Mrs. Guo pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the Lu Bu you mentioned before come this time?"

"Lu Bu?" Yu Fuluo was surprised, "Is he here too? If he comes, our Huns soldiers may have to withdraw."

Others may not have heard of Lu Bu's reputation. As the former prince of the Southern Huns and now the Chanyu, how could he not know Lu Bu's name!

When I heard that Lu Bu was here, I couldn't help but feel a sudden rush in my heart.

"Khanyu knows Lu Bu?" Mrs. Guo looked over puzzled.

"I don't know him." Yu Fuluo shook his head and said, "But I have heard of his reputation. It is said that he is extremely brave and has the courage to be unstoppable. If he is here, you have no chance of winning. Even this Shanyu will You have to stay away.”

"Is it really that powerful?" Mrs. Guo still didn't believe it.

Yu Fuluo smiled bitterly and had no explanation.

Yang Feng hesitated for a moment and said: "Li Lewei was defeated in Huai County mainly because of Lu Bu's cavalry. I heard that the reason why the Black Mountain Army retreated was mainly because they could not stop Lu Bu's cavalry."

Guo Tai was silent now. When he was in Hedong, Yang Feng and Han Xian wrote letters asking for help. They mentioned Lu Bu's bravery, but they didn't go into such detail. They didn't expect it to be so difficult.

In his opinion, the Huns cavalry was already considered the best in the world, but even they were afraid of it. How powerful could it be?

Yang Feng could clearly feel that the originally heroic and high-spirited reinforcements were obviously low in morale at this moment.

One person's name is so terrifying.

At this moment, Yu Fuluo frowned slightly, raised his head and looked into the distance.

Having lived on horseback all year round, he was more sensitive to cavalry than ordinary people. He felt that there seemed to be movement from the cavalry, and it was not small.

The others didn't know why and looked at Yu Fuluo inexplicably, but they soon felt something unusual——

The rumbling sound was like dull thunder, rolling over the ground, and the ground began to tremble violently.

"No, there are cavalry!" Yu Fuluo shouted, "The cavalry assemble! The cavalry assemble! Hurry!"

Immediately, a herald waved his flag and sent a rally signal to the cavalry that was still marching slowly in the distance.

Mrs. Guo's expression changed. He had dealt with the Huns soldiers a lot, and he also knew that the Huns had five thousand cavalry, but he had never seen the grand scene of these five thousand cavalry running at the same time.

These cavalry often marched in different cavalry groups, and by the time the Baibo Army and the Huns joined forces, most of Hedong had been captured, and the cavalry also participated in the battle, but such a large-scale collective charge has never been staged.

Now hearing such a massive movement of cavalry made all the generals and soldiers of the Baibo Army present feel frightened.

"The Baibo Army assembles! Gather the defense quickly!" Guo Taiye shouted hurriedly. However, half of the Baibo army had not completely marched to the city, and was still advancing piecemeal on the road.

"Commander, let's go into the city quickly, just in case!" Yang advised.

Mrs. Guo looked at Yu Fuluo.

Yu Fuluo gritted his teeth and said: "Listen to this news, the enemy has a lot of cavalry coming, as many as three thousand. This is a vicious battle. Shanyu cannot leave his compatriots to escape alone. He can only fight to the death, and maybe there will be more." A way to survive.”

"Three thousand cavalry!?" Guo Tai was stunned, "This... this... could it be Lu Bu coming?"

Upon hearing the word "Lü Bu", Yu Fuluo's courage that he had just mustered up was half gone.

At this time, a black line appeared on the far horizon and was moving here quickly. The thunderous sound of horse hooves seemed to be blasting in their ears. They could clearly feel the armor on their bodies shaking with it.

"Commander...Commander, what should we do?" Han Xian stuttered a bit.

Mrs. Guo looked back and saw that the camp had not yet been completely built. The Baibo Army was gathering in a chaotic manner. They had no formation training at all. They could only be regarded as a group of people gathering together. The weapons in their hands were also different, and even the weapons on their bodies were different. None of them had any armor.

"Chanyu, please see if these people can stop the cavalry?" Guo Tai asked a little short of breath.

Yu Fuluo stamped his feet anxiously, because the Huns' cavalry had not yet completely gathered, and there were less than two thousand beside him. The cavalry who were originally escorting the Baibo Army on both sides were rushing over quickly.

After listening to Mrs. Guo's question, she looked back and was so angry that she almost cursed her, "You can block it! If Lu Bu really leads the army, it will be useless to gather all the rebels, let alone the less than ten thousand people who have just gathered now."

Mrs. Guo felt a chill in her heart.

Yu Fuluo rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "But if we cooperate with Shanyu's cavalry, we can still fight. Let's do this. Our cavalry is arrayed on the left wing, and your infantry is arrayed on the right wing. In this way, the enemy attacks If the enemy attacks the right, attack them from the left. If we take care of each other, it will not be difficult to defend against the enemy."

Guo Taiyi heard that Fu Luo's words were reasonable, and immediately commanded the nearly 10,000 people who had gathered to line up with the Huns' cavalry.

Yu Fuluo breathed a sigh of relief, so that the Huns cavalry would not have to face the attack of the official army alone.

It would be okay if it wasn't Lu Bu, but if it was really Lu Bu, then the only way to survive would be to escape.

In almost a few seconds, the cavalry of the government army rushed forward, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Under the sunlight, their helmets were shining brightly, their swords and guns were dazzling, and the tassels on their heads were fluttering in the wind, like continuous autumn grass.

In sharp contrast to the Baibo army that was shivering in the cold wind, there was a world of difference in being well-equipped.

In front of the army formation, two tooth flags were fluttering. One pole had the word "Zhang" written on it, and the other pole had the word "Cao" written on it.

When Yu Fuluo saw that there was no Lu Bu's banner, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but he didn't dare to relax completely. With such a fierce attack by the army, the two thousand cavalry who had just gathered around him couldn't stop it.

I prayed secretly in my heart that these two generals knew the art of war.

Because according to his understanding of Han's art of war, the usual way of fighting is to find the enemy's weaknesses and then deliver a fatal blow.

Now on our own battlefield, the biggest flaw is undoubtedly the large number of Baibo rebels next to the cavalry. If the Han army is more rogue, they may attack the defenseless soldiers who are still marching.

Unless the opponent is stupid, his cavalry is safe.

Guo Tai, Yang Feng, and Han Xian all held the weapons in their hands tightly, feeling the violent airflow brought by the cavalry rushing towards them, making their clothes rustle and their hair fluttering, just like their mood at the moment. Total chaos!

Yang Feng looked at the city of Wen County and felt a trace of regret. Wouldn't it be better for me to stay in the city? Why do you have to go out of town? Isn't this asking for death?

Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the horse on his crotch was still accelerating and accelerating. His young face was full of determination, and his cheeks were bulging. It could be seen that he was gritting his teeth at this moment, preparing to The final push.

At this moment, Cao Cao felt quite uneasy. Although he had been in battle many times, he had never led cavalry. Strictly speaking, he had never seen so many cavalry charging at once.

Let him be Zhang Liao's deputy. Although what he said was reasonable, he still had some objections to this arrangement in his heart. In his opinion, Zhang Liao, like Lu Bu, was a rough man from a borderland. In terms of overall quality, there is still a big gap between people and Beijing officials like him.

But now, his view of Zhang Liao has changed. This young man seems to be born for the cavalry. He only has charge in his eyes. When he charges, there seems to be a blazing fire in his eyes, leading the cavalry as if Li Xianzhi's arrow charges forward with an indomitable momentum.

The tip of the arrow is Zhang Liao. This is what it means to lead by example.

In addition to the 800 Bingzhou wolf cavalry brought by Zhang Liao, Cao Cao was no stranger to the other northern armies stationed in cavalry camps and Yue cavalry camps. The senior generals of these two armies were all descendants of nobles, and the cavalry training intensity was also insufficient. Previously, Most of the battles were fought against peasant rebels such as the Yellow Turban Army.

As for life-and-death battles, there are few opportunities for contact. However, at this moment, Cao Cao turned around and saw those pampered royal cavalry all with solemn expressions at this moment. They were riding horses like dragons, holding the horses and sabers tightly in their hands, following the direction pointed by the commander's flag. Following the rhythm of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, they rushed forward quickly.

When he looked at Zhang Liao again, Cao Cao had a little more admiration in his eyes and asked himself that he could not bring an army to such a momentum. This is also the commander's charm of a general.

In fact, he also missed one thing, that is, the Yueqi camp, after several fierce battles with Lu Bu, has long been transformed into a strong army that dares to fight tough battles, especially those who survived the life and death fight. Both consciousness and combat skills have been qualitatively improved compared to before.

The indomitable spirit of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Yue Cavalry Battalion also inspired the fearless momentum of the Tun Cavalry Battalion.

At this moment, Cao Cao could only follow Zhang Liao's rhythm and charge forward! charge! Charge again!

Yu Fuluo opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, with a look of horror on his face, "What the hell, I encountered a stupid green enemy general, and he actually ran straight towards the soldiers and horses assembled by our Huns!"

Now that he is here, he can only bite the bullet and push forward. Yu Fuluo knows the beauty of cavalry battles. You can't stand still and wait for the opponent to charge into the formation, but you have to hedge. Even if you know you are losing, hedging is better than Waiting in place to rush into the formation has a higher chance of survival.

"My sons, for the glory of the Xiongnu, charge forward!" Yu Fuluo pointed his sword forward and shouted.

"Charge!" the Huns cavalry shouted in unison, shaking their reins and urging their horses to charge forward.

When Guo Tai saw it, he was unwilling to show weakness. He pointed his pistol forward and said loudly: "For the glory of Bai Bo, charge!"

Then he rushed out first, and Yang Feng and Han Xian had no choice but to follow closely. After rushing out for a while, they realized something was wrong. When they looked back, they couldn't help but be surprised.

"Commander, Commander, look back!" Yang Feng shouted anxiously.

Mrs. Guo looked back and was so frightened that she almost fell off her horse. She saw nearly 10,000 rebels who had assembled, less than 2,000 people rushing up after them, and the rest were still where they were - they were so scared!
