Xiliang Iron Cavalry

() Jia Rong personally joined the battle, which was a great encouragement to the cavalry of the Xiliang Army on the battlefield.

Of the five hundred swordsmen, only a hundred survived. Sun Jian's army left corpses all over the ground and slowly retreated into the camp.

This battle made Sun Jian aware of the gap between the two armies, and he no longer dared to fight lightly.

The gates of the village were closed, and the free battle sign was hung high. The power of Xiliang iron cavalry was too great. Sun Jian's idea of ​​relying on infantry to win was completely shattered. The gap between the two could not be changed by relying on weapons. On the ground, the infantry and cavalry have a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts. The galloping cavalry, whether it is psychological or visual, gives people a powerful conflict. What the cavalry makes the infantry really fear is not the soldiers above, but the horses. What kind of enjoyment is it to bump into one's body?

The Xiliang army's thing after eating every day is to go out of the city for a drill, and then yell at Sun Jianjun for a while.

Although the generals of Sun Jian's army were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to fight lightly. The bravery of Lu Bu, the general of the Xiliang Army, was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the long run, the impact on morale is still quite large.

Jia Rong considered the coordination of arms in the camp. It is not enough to rely solely on infantry and cavalry. The infantry's ability to defend the city and its endurance are far superior to that of cavalry. The powerful impact and long-distance attack of cavalry are not comparable to infantry. The appearance of the cooperation of shield spearmen and archers in the army rang the bell for Jia Rong. Only relying on cavalry to fight is too single, and cavalry combat is subject to too many conditions.

The Xiliang Army itself followed the route of soldier coordination, but after years of campaigns, Jia Rong gradually forgot the coordination between the arms while realizing the strength of the cavalry.

In terms of coordination ability, if the camp is second, no one dares to say that it is the first. Although there are 800 people, Jia Rong is confident that he can defeat the infantry phalanx of 2000 people.

What Jia Rong had to do was to combine cavalry and infantry to fight. The reason why the Qin army was so powerful and swept across the six countries was not only because of the high combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also because of the cooperation between the phalanxes.

The Han Dynasty was after the Qin Dynasty, but some things of the Qin Dynasty were not handed down, such as the production of crossbows. The crossbow arrows of the Qin Dynasty were known as the number one among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, but the Han Dynasty did not continue, and many technologies were lost.

"My lord, the food in the army is only enough for today, and the morale of the army is floating." Cheng Pu said anxiously to the Chinese army where Sun Jian was.

"Have the soldiers who went to Yuan Gonglu come back?" Sun Jian asked with his eyes tightened.

Cheng Pu cupped his fists and said, "I just came back."

Sun Jian gave a faint "Oh" and asked, "Then why hasn't the food and grass been dispatched yet?"

Cheng Pu replied truthfully: "My lord, Yuan Gonggong said that our army has been fighting with the Guanzhong Xiliang army for a long time without success, and there is a rift with the Xiliang army leader, so we don't distribute food and grass. He also said in private that Dong Zhuo is a wolf. Then my lord It is the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, if my lord captures Hulao pass and enters Luoyang, it will be like driving a wolf into a tiger."

Sun Jian said angrily, "Zhuzi, you actually missed the army."

Cheng Pu sighed, "General, the soldiers who went to the lord to ask for food have still not returned."

Sun Jian said: "Pass down the order, let the soldiers get ready, retreat in the middle of the night, and remember not to let the closed Xiliang army know." At this time, the coalition camp was only twenty or thirty miles away from Hulao, quietly waiting for the vanguard army. news.

Cheng Pu left with a heavy expression.

The army has been short of food since three days ago, but Yuan Shu declined with various excuses. If the vanguard of the army can capture Hulao Pass, the fame will naturally fall to Sun Jianjun.

Cheng Pu had also heard some rumors. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad for the princes of the [-]th Route. They were fighting each other like this before Luoyang was conquered.

Inside Hulao Pass, Jia Rong was overjoyed after hearing the news reported by the lone wolf soldiers. The lack of food for Sun Jian's army was a great opportunity.

The lone wolf soldiers are all over the big man. It is not easy to inquire about the news of the coalition army. Moreover, Sun Jian's army lacks cavalry and has been unable to hold on. It is almost like a deaf-mute. Know.

"General Qi, the coalition forces outside the pass seem to be preparing to retreat." A soldier hurried in and cupped his fists.

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Okay, tonight is the time to defeat Sun Jian's army, and the army is ordered to go back to the camp to rest and wait for the military order."

In the middle of the night, all the soldiers in the pass were woken up, and they buried pots for cooking. After a full meal, the generals of all ministries focused their attention on Jia Rong. From daytime, Jia Rong asked the soldiers of all ministries to return to the camp to rest, leaving only a small number of soldiers guarding the pass. Just realized that there will be action in the night.

Jia Rong, who was at the top, didn't say a word, just sat there quietly, as if waiting for something.

About half an hour later, Liu Si hurriedly rushed to Jia Rong's side with a look on his face, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Jia Rong's face was shocked, and he ordered: "Sun Jian's army outside the pass is short of food and grass, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. I got the news that Sun Jian's army will withdraw tonight."

Lu Bu stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "The humble post is willing to serve the future.

Ministry, captured Sun Jian alive. "

Not to be outdone, Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun and other generals called for battle one after another. Only Li Shun stood quietly in place without saying a word. In a battle like this, the role of the trapped camp is basically the duty of a battlefield sweeper.

Jia Rong ordered: "Lü Bu obeys the order. You lead five hundred cavalry to charge from Sun Jian's army head-on. You don't want to kill the enemy, you just need to disrupt Sun Jian's army."

"No!" Lu Bu cupped his fists and said, his expression was full of excitement. With his force, he had full confidence to beat Sun Jianjun to pieces.

"General Hao, you lead a thousand troops from your headquarters and attack Sun Jian's camp right behind General Lu. You set fire to Sun Jun's tents along the way to disturb his army's morale." Naturally, Jia Rong will not forget Hao Meng's free troops. After going out of the city to challenge and almost dying, Hao Meng also restrained a lot.

"Hua Xiong, you lead [-] cavalry to attack the left flank of Sun Jian's army, Guo Si, you lead [-] cavalry to attack the right flank of Sun Jian's army, Zhao Yun, lead [-] cavalry to lie quietly behind Sun Jian's army, and wait for him to lead the defeated army to retreat. Come out in time." Jia Rong glanced at Li Shun, who looked a little lonely, and continued to order: "Li Shun listens to the order, after you lead the soldiers in the trapped camp to follow Hao Meng's army, after they enter the camp of Sun Jian's army, then kill in."

Li Shun's expression was shocked, and he clasped his fists excitedly and said, "No!"

The cooperation between infantry and cavalry began with the defeat of Sun Jian.

"When you meet Sun Jian, you can only capture him alive, not kill him," Jia Ronglin warned.

The generals under his command agreed in unison, and Hao Meng and Cao Xing, who didn't know why, thought that Jia Rong wanted to capture Sun Jian alive and send him to Luoyang to gain fame.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, the door of the tiger prison was quietly opened, and groups of cavalry were heading towards Sun Jian's army.

Sun Jian didn't expect that Jia Rong would know the news of his army's retreat, and there were not as many soldiers guarding the camp gate as usual. In fact, these soldiers were more of the Xiliang army that Sun Jian closed in order to confuse Hulao.

Lu Bu led [-] cavalrymen to move away from their horses quietly, one of them took the lead, and charged into the camp. The soldiers guarding the gate of the camp heard the movement in a daze, followed the sound, and saw countless cavalrymen in the darkness. Coming towards him, he was about to strike the gong in his hand, but he couldn't raise his hand. An arrow had pierced his throat at some point, and he could only make a low hoarse sound.

After Lu Bu led the army into Sun Jian's army, he lit the tents along the way. The fire made the soldiers even more chaotic, especially in such a chaotic scene, it could arouse the panic in the soldiers' hearts.

Sun Jian, who was discussing the retreat with the Chinese army, heard the commotion from the army and hurried out of the camp.

"General, countless cavalry are attacking in." A general stepped forward and said hurriedly.

Sun Jian said calmly, "Huang Gai, lead [-] spearmen forward, and be sure to block the cavalry coming forward."

Sun Jian regretted in his heart and retreated tonight, so the defense in the camp was much lower than before, which caused the Xiliang army to attack the camp.

Deng Gao glanced at the direction of the cavalry's charge, and Sun Jian felt relieved. It was only a group of soldiers who were in chaos. Since they were preparing to retreat, the soldiers of each group naturally did not rest, and they could organize soldiers to fight at any time.

At this moment, the sound of charging and killing sounded from the left and right sides of the camp, echoing the Lu Bu army in front.

In the panic, Fang showed his true nature as a general, and Sun Jian remained calm in the face of danger, and kept mobilizing soldiers to rush to the three directions.

However, the camp at this time was completely in chaos. The Xiliang army's attack on the camp was very successful, and the continuous setting fires increased the fear in the soldiers' hearts. In addition, it was no secret that Sun Jian's army was running out of food in the army, and the soldiers fought in panic. He stepped back and collided with the army that came to support, and the army exploded for a while.

"The rest are starting to retreat!" The coalition soldiers were only twenty miles away, and Sun Jian believed that the Xiliang army would not dare to pursue too much.

After Lu Bu was behind, Li Shunxian and Hao Meng led the troops to kill. The eight hundred soldiers in the trapped camp were like tigers in a herd of sheep. The soldiers in the trapped camp gathered all their strength and put all their strength on Sun Jianjun.

The trapped camp has always played the role of a logistics soldier, how could they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Shun shouted loudly, and the eight-man battle formation, which had been practiced countless times on weekdays, quickly separated and fought around. in battle.

A soldier of Sun Jian's army died on the spot. On the other hand, the soldiers in the camp suffered only a few casualties.

Lu Bu, who was in the charge, was also taken aback by the god-killing attitude of the soldiers trapped in the camp. It is rare to see soldiers in the camp showing their power. He heard some rumors in the army, but he did not expect them to be more powerful than the legends.

The Xiliang army received much greater resistance than expected, but these panicked infantry were no match for the cavalry.

Sun Jian led the army to retreat in a hurry, and after only three miles, a general walked out in front, with a white horse and black robe shining a silver spear, and shouted: "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, and the general will not dismount and be bound."

Ask for red, ask for rewards, these things are good things to stimulate the precipice, and if you keep voting every day, our Xiliang army will become stronger and stronger.
