Xiliang Iron Cavalry

() Welcoming the two into the pass, Zhao Yun briefly talked about the current situation under Jia Rong's gesture.

Hu Zhen clasped his fists and said, "Everything is up to the general."

"Our army was ordered by the Grand Master to guard Hulao Pass, why should we obey other people's orders." Hao Meng flashed a general behind him and said loudly.

"Who dares to yell in front of the general?" Zhao Yun stared at him with his eyes wide open.

"I am Cao Xing, the captain under Dong Jun's command." The general said arrogantly.

Unexpectedly, the generals under Lu Bu's command in the Three Kingdoms went to Dong Zhuo's command, but instead ran rampant in front of Lu Bu.

Cao Xing and Hao Meng's arrow skills and horse riding martial arts are good, and they are highly valued by Dong Zhuo.

Jia Rong laughed and said, "It's really a blessing for our army that the two generals are so brave. I don't know if the two generals can go out of the city to face Sun Jian's army outside the city?"

"Why don't you dare, wait for me to gather all the soldiers and horses to kill and go to the pass, and Sun Jian's army will definitely be defeated." Hao Meng said loudly.

"That's very good. Later, Zilong will be in charge of holding the battle for the two generals, so we can see Dong Zhuojun's demeanor." Jia Rong turned to Zhao Yun and said.

Zhao Yun admired Jia Rong so much, he coaxed Hao Meng to the battlefield with a few words, and taught him a lesson with Sun Jian's hand.

This time, among the soldiers led by Hao Meng, there were 800 infantry and only 200 cavalry. The eight passes around Luoyang needed to be stationed, especially the Mengjin pass, which was particularly important.

It was too late for Cao Xing and Hu Zhen to dissuade him, and there was no joke in the army. Since Hao Meng had agreed to go out and face the battle, he could not deny it.

Dong Jun, who came from afar, went out to challenge Sun Jianjun before taking a break. Cao Xing had some ways to lead the army, and he raised the morale in a few words. Playing prestige in front of the Xiliang Army is what Dong Jun dreamed of. thing.

Seeing this scene, Hu Zhen smiled wryly. The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army itself was higher than that of Dong Jun. Even though Dong Jun's cavalry were generally equipped with stirrups, they were still very different from the Xiliang Army.

"Little Sun Jian, how dare you go out to fight." Hao Meng stood in front of Sun Jian's army majestically and shouted.

It was noon at this time, when people were tired and horses were exhausted, it was not the best time for fighting.

"My lord, let me ask for a fight!" Han bowed angrily to his face.

Sun Jian was not in a hurry to send troops forward, but said to the messenger: "Go and inquire again, it seems who it will be."

Even Sun Jian was a little afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, and sending his generals there would only lead to death.

"General Qi, the general who came here called himself Hao Meng, the general of Dong Jun, and led 200 cavalry and 500 infantry to fight outside the gate."

"Hao Meng?" Sun Jian questioned, for several days in a row, he had never heard of such a No. [-] general, could it be another general of the Xiliang Army.

"My lord, please fight in a lowly position!" Han Dang bowed again. Sun Jian's army had been suppressed by the Xiliang army for many days, and the generals below all held their breath.

Sun Jian warned: "Be careful when going here."

Han Dang clasped his fists as he promised, and rushed out in a hurry.

"I'm Hao Meng, a general under the Grand Master's command. May I know my name?" Hao Meng said proudly.

"Sun Jianjun Han Dang." After finishing speaking, Han Dang patted his horse and came towards Hao Meng.

Although Hao Meng was arrogant, he also had several skills, otherwise he would not have shouted openly. He stood aside the sword, took out the bow and arrow, took the arrow and pulled the string to release the arrow.

Startled, Han Dang hurriedly leaned over to dodge.

Seeing that he couldn't shoot, Hao Meng discarded the bow and arrow and took the knife to kill Han Dang.

The two fought each other for five times, Han Dang yelled, and knocked the big knife in Hao Meng's hand to the ground, and the knife flashed towards Hao Meng's face.

"Pfft", the arrow was shot steadily on Han Dang's right arm, the tail of the arrow was still shaking slightly, it turned out that it was shot by Cao Xing.

Han Dang cursed: "Despicable!" Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, he wanted to kill Hao Meng.

Cao Xing was shocked, and shot another arrow. Han Dang dodged and dodged, and when he looked for Hao Meng again, he had already run back to the main formation.

Hao Meng didn't dare to underestimate Sun Jian's army after this battle, and ordered the soldiers to charge for a while before returning to the pass.

"General, our army is about to run out of food." Cheng Pu hurriedly came to the Chinese army where Sun Jian was located to pay homage.

Sun Jian was startled and said, "There is such a thing, why don't you report it to the leader."

Cheng Pu said: "Several batches of soldiers have gone to urge for food and grass, but Yuan Shu has been evading it with the excuse of insufficient food and grass. He even said, he said..."

"What else?" Sun Jian asked.

Cheng Pu faltered and said: "Yuan Shu said that the general had fought for a long time without success, and that he had a rift with Jia Rong in the pass. He claimed that the leader of the alliance would investigate the matter thoroughly at the meeting, and the news about the lord had already been spread in the allied army. Start advising the main alliance to bring the lord back to the army for interrogation."

Sun Jian cursed, "Zhu Zi'an dares to deceive me like this."

Huang Gai said: "Our army has been outside Hulao Pass for half a month, but we have never talked about the siege. The soldiers under our command have a lot of complaints about this."

"Send soldiers to urge for food

Grass. After a long time, Sun Jian made up his mind and said: "Pass down the order and attack Hulao Pass tomorrow." "

Jia Rong guarded Hulao Pass, but Sun Jian was unwilling to attack. It was not because of the relationship between the two. When the Yellow Turban was broken, Jia Rong's talent was gradually revealed. At that time, Dong Zhuojun was the most elite compared to the big man The sharp Southern Army and the Northern Army were not inferior either. After many years, Jia Rong became a famous general of the Han Dynasty and used thousands of troops to resist Han Sui's rebel army of [-].

Do the math, his own strength is no more than [-] people, how to attack the natural danger of Hulao, Sun Jian has no way of knowing the number of troops in the pass, but judging from the so-called General Dong Jun today, there are more troops in the pass.

"You won't understand how terrible Jia Rong is. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were burned to clean by him. The elite Qiang cavalry were repeatedly defeated by him. Han Sui's [-] troops could not attack the small At that time, there were only a few thousand defenders in Pingxiang City." Sun Jian said in a low voice.

Now the rumors about the rift between himself and Jia Rong, who is guarding the pass, have been spread in the allied army. If the city is not attacked, it will have a great impact on the morale of the allied army. It has been a few days since we came to Hulao pass. It can't be attacked, and there are hundreds of thousands of allied troops behind.

The next day, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. Sun Jian led 8000 troops to Hulao Pass aggressively.

Looking at the majestic Hulao Pass, Sun Jian felt helpless.

"Boys, break through the Hulao pass, Luoyang is right in front of you, kill the traitors, and give the big man a bright future, kill!" Sun Jian swung the ancient ingot long knife in his hand, and the rumbling drums sounded, and he rushed towards the Hulao After closing the door and walking slowly, groups of soldiers carried the ladders to the Hulao Pass.

There was a sneer on the corner of Jia Rong's mouth in the city. With ten thousand people, he wanted to break down Hulaoguan. The 800 men of the army, the original defenders, and the 500 Hu Zhen who arrived last, the force reached 1000, which is almost a one-to-one force. Let alone 2000, it is extremely difficult to attack even 7000 people. , not to mention that there are elite defense equipment in Hulao Pass.

"Let the coalition soldiers see what is elite." Jia Rong said in a deep voice.

The soldiers on the city shot arrows down the city in an orderly manner under the command of the generals. Although these soldiers were cavalry, their advantages were minimized when defending the city, but they had good shooting skills. Not to mention that the arrows were shot without fail, five or six out of ten can be shot. Hao Meng, Cao Xing and Hu Zhen also led 2000 troops to defend the city.

"Get ready for rolling stones." Li Shun ordered, seeing that the car had been pushed to the gate.

"Let go!" Along with Li Shun's order, there were bursts of wailing from the city, the Hulao Pass was about four feet high, such a huge piece of wood fell down, the power was quite powerful, and the car fell powerlessly in front of the pass.

Another wave of soldiers rushed up, pushing the chariot and walking slowly, and was repeated by the defenders on the city. After three or four times, no soldiers dared to push the chariot forward. If it was a foreigner, Jia Rong might Just let the oil burn.

There is no shortage of good archers in the Xiliang army. They can shoot arrows freely on bumpy horses. What's more, on flat ground, a soldier who has not yet approached the city wall was shot by an arrow, screaming in vain, and was shot. The soldiers attacking from behind stepped on their feet and disappeared after a while.

The Xiliang army's sharp offensive on the city could not stop Sun Jian's army. Sun Jian's army was well-managed, and the soldiers in the army were ordered to forbid them. There was no order to retreat. Anyone who dared to take a step back on the battlefield would be killed without mercy. The shield was tightly guarded. Standing in front of him, he moved forward cautiously. The shield soldiers could better resist the arrows, but they couldn't hold the boulders falling from the sky. A boulder was enough to crush him with his shield.

Over the years of fighting, Sun Jian has won the hearts of the soldiers. In the impression of the soldiers, there is no city that they cannot conquer. They have a kind of blind trust in Sun Jian, just like soldiers of the Xiliang Army trust Jia Rong.

A series of ladders were erected on the city wall, but the cavalry of the Xiliang Army looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't have much experience in this kind of guard battle, and what they did most was to fight field battles with Jia Rong.

Li Shun gave an order, and out of the soldiers came out one by one armed with long spears. The long spears in these soldiers' hands were obviously one size longer than ordinary long spears, and the ends of the spears were actually diverged, like a fork.

Putting the long fork on the ladder on the city wall, two or three soldiers exerted their strength together, and the ladder swayed and fell down. The soldiers on the ladder let out terrified shouts and fell to the ground dancing.

Li Shun's methods of defending the city are endless. Up to now, none of the enemy soldiers climbed onto the city wall, whether it was a tree, a rolling stone, or a long fork. They were picked up by Li Shunxin, and every enemy soldier died with hatred. Overjoyed, there is Li Shun at Hulao Pass, the coalition forces don't want to move forward, Li Shun commanded the camp like an arm.

Sun Jian in the distance gritted his teeth, took out his long knife and was about to step forward, but was persuaded by Huang Gai and others at the side. With their eyesight, they could naturally see the gap between the two armies. The elite soldiers of all battles, just for a while, nearly 3000 people gathered at Hulao Pass, and it is difficult to capture it with only [-] people.
