Xiliang Iron Cavalry

() This loud shout changed the expressions of the soldiers under Sun Jian's command. If it weren't for Sun Jian's presence, they might turn around and leave. The continuous fighting made every soldier's heart tense.

"Don't be afraid, the enemy is only a few hundred people." Sun Jian said loudly.

At this time, all the generals around Sun Jian were sent out. Sun Jian's words made the soldiers wake up from their panic. After following Sun Jian for many years, they have seen all kinds of hard battles, not to mention the current situation is not so bad.

Beside Sun Jian, a general flashed out, slapped his horse on his back and charged towards Zhao Yun.

Sun Jian shouted, "No!"

It was Sun Ce who killed Zhao Yun. Seeing that Zhao Yun was born with oily noodles, he expected to be a weak general. In the dark, he did not recognize that this person was Zhao Yun who led the cavalry to attack the army a few days ago.

Zhao Yun was surprised, but he didn't dare to underestimate him. With a flick of his silver spear, he charged at Sun Ce.

The two fought together, and the fight was very loud.

Fearing that Sun Ce would make a mistake, Sun Jian led the army forward, and without Zhao Yun's order, the five hundred cavalry behind him charged head-on.

These [-] cavalry were the blood guards around Jia Rong. They were sharper than all the cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Standing with Sun Jian's army, they were like wolves among sheep, and Sun Jian's army was retreating steadily.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, he suddenly changed his moves, grabbed Sun Ce in astonishment, threw him on the ground, and said coldly, "I'm tied." Zhao Yun's opponent.

Seeing this, Sun Jian in the distance shouted: "Ce'er." He raised the ancient ingot knife and killed aggressively.

Zhao Yun was not afraid, and killed Sun Jian together.

The battle on the field also entered a fierce stage. The scimitar in the hands of the blood guards slashed left and right. Although they didn't take away the soldiers' lives, they were seriously injured and howling. In addition, Sun Jian led the army all the way to escape here. , The soldiers were exhausted, and they stood up and down.

Sun Jian was anxious. Zhao Yun was in ambush before him, and Lu Bu and others were behind him. If he delays, he doesn't know how much of his army will be left. Looking back at the soldiers beaten by the blood guards, he couldn't bear it.

With a feint, Sun Jian withdrew to the main formation and ordered the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner. Zhao Yun gave an order, and the blood guards bit the retreating Sun Jian's army tightly. After chasing for about ten miles, they led the army towards Hulao Pass.

Zhao Yun led the blood guards to kill a carbine, and smashed the soldiers Sun Jian left to resist.

"The thief will go away!" Hua Xiong sternly shouted, patted his horse and rushed towards Zu Mao.

Lu Bu wanted to step forward, but he didn't want to lose the reputation of competing with Hua Xiong for credit, so he set his sights on Han Dang. The injury on Huang Gai's hand has not healed yet, and Lu Bu doesn't want to bully a disabled person. Han Dang is the best choose.

Seeing that the situation was over, Han Dang led his cavalry to retreat in the direction of the Allied forces, and did not fight Lu Bu.

Unfortunately, Zu Mao went to a bush and was captured alive by Hua Xiong.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours, chasing and killing Sun Jian's fleeing army for more than ten li, and obtaining countless weapons and armor.

Sun Jian collected the remnants of the defeated generals, and only got more than 5000 soldiers. A surprise attack by the Xiliang Army caused Sun Jian to lose more than 200 people. What is even more regrettable is that Zu Mao was captured alive by Hua Xiong, and Sun Ce was captured alive by Zhao Yun. More than 100 cavalry only There are [-] people left.

The tens of thousands of vanguard troops who came here were mighty and magnificent, but only more than 2000 people remained when they returned in despair.

"Yuan Shu, you and I are at odds." If Yuan Shu's delay in distributing food and grass did not cause the army's morale to be unstable, the army would never be so easily attacked by the Xiliang army.

Inside Hulao Pass, Jia Rong personally untied Sun Ce, and laughed loudly: "Nephew, I feel wronged that you are staying in the pass for a few days now."

Hao Meng and other Dong Jun generals on the side were already stunned. They really didn't expect Jia Rong to have relatives in the coalition camp. If this news reaches the Grand Master, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Sun Ce yelled, "Shameless villain, you dare to sneak attack on our army, shameless..."

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Young man Huangkou, don't you know that soldiers are not tired of deceit, and besides, on the battlefield, the winner is king, so why stick to the means."

Sun Ce was at a loss for words, and glared at Jia Rong.

"Keep Mr. Sun here so you can rest." Jia Rong said to Li Shun.

Li Shun understood Jia Rong's meaning, and the soldiers of the trapped camp took care of him. Let alone a little Sun Ce, even if Sun Jian came, he still couldn't get out.

"In this battle, Fengxian, Zilong, Huaxiong, Guo Si, and Li Shun will each count their merits once, and they will be rewarded for their merits after defeating the coalition forces in the coming day."

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Guo Bang saluted in unison: "Thank you, General!" The cavalry general was in charge of the promotion of many officials in the army, but he did not promote too many officials under his command. All the generals had a lot of room for promotion.

In the Xiliang Army, if you want to be promoted, you must rely on the continuous accumulation of military exploits.

"Who is this?" Jia Rong asked, pointing to Zu Mao, who was bound by the five flowers and had a dark complexion.

Hua Xiong laughed loudly and said, "This is a general in Sun Jian's army. His surname is Zu and his name is Mao. He has a very violent temper."

Jia Rong let out an "oh" and said lightly, "Press it down."

After Zu Mao and Sun Ce were taken away, Zhao Yun asked puzzledly, "My lord, why didn't you recruit Zu Mao?"

"Zu Mao is Sun Jian's confidant general, he is deeply favored by him, how can he surrender to our army just because of a few words, if Zilong is captured by the enemy one day, will he surrender?" Jia Rong asked with a smile.

Zhao Yun's body was shocked, and he bowed down and said: "My lord has the kindness to know Yun. Although Yun is not talented, he also knows that he will stick to it. If he is captured by the enemy, the only thing he can do is die."

Jia Rong's expression moved slightly, and he helped Zhao Yun up and said, "Zilong must not do this, but he doesn't know that Goujian is only trying to get revenge for him. If Zilong is captured by the enemy, he can surrender and keep his useful body to serve the Xiliang army. .”

Zhao Yun looked at Jia Rong puzzled, but nodded out of his trust in Jia Rong.

In the era when soldiers died for their confidants, being captured by the enemy, death is not terrible.

"Leader, Yuan Gonglu arbitrarily seized our army's food and grass, causing our army to be defeated outside Hulao Pass, and lost troops and generals. Please learn from the leader." Speaking of this, Sun Jian's eyes were full of tears. Under his own hands.

Yuan Shao comforted: "Don't worry, Wentai, I will personally ask Yuan Shu about this matter."

After Sun Jian left, Yuan Shao sighed, "I didn't expect Sun Wentai to be defeated in front of Hulao Pass."

Hearing the news of Sun Jian's defeat, Yuan Shu was overjoyed. Sun Jian was a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. He didn't know that he drove wolves into tigers. Yuan Shu thought of what the counselor said, and he was secretly complacent. In Yuan Shu's view, this world should be Yuan Shu. The family, four generations and three fathers, has unparalleled prestige in the Han Dynasty.

"General, the lord invites you to go to the big tent to discuss matters." The messenger walked into the tent to pay homage.

Yuan Shao stared at Yuan Shu who walked in with a gloomy face.

"General Yuan, I don't know why you seized the food and grass of Sun Wentai's army without authorization, causing the army to lack food, the morale of the army fluctuated, and they returned after being defeated. Are you guilty?"

Sun Jian glared at Yuan Shu, gritted his teeth, these sons and daughters had followed Sun Jian for many years, thinking of them dying like this, he felt angry again.

Sun Jian was known as the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and Yuan Shu was just a son of a dandy family, how he could stand up to such stares, he hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

All the princes in the account could see that this matter was Yuan Shu's fault. Because of the Yuan family's face, no one came forward to criticize them, but they kept a mind in their hearts, that is, before going to war, Yuan Shu, the God of Wealth, must be courted. Cut your food to see what you do.

"Leader, this matter is caused by one of my subordinates who is talking nonsense, claiming that Sun Jian has an old relationship with Jia Rong in Hulao Pass, and that's why the time for food distribution has been delayed. Please be careful."

Yuan Shao glanced helplessly at the princes in the tent, and said, "Leave your military affairs to General Sun."

Seeing Sun Jian's indignant expression, Yuan Shao comforted him, "The Wentai is not to blame for this defeat. Just go to the army to collect the lost food and supplies."

"We still have a hundred good war horses in our army, and they have also been sent to Wentai." Yuan Shao said with some pain.

Sun Jian bowed, "Thank you, leader." Yuan Shao was able to do so much, and Sun Jian couldn't say anything more, so he snorted coldly at Yuan Shu, and led his generals to leave.

All the princes in the tent regretted that a loyal Han man had withdrawn from the stage like this, and Sun Jian lost his army and lost his general, which meant that Luoyang would lose one person when he rewarded his meritorious deeds in the future.

Five days later, the coalition army finally arrived in front of Hulao Pass, the banners were buzzing in the strong wind, a hundred thousand troops gathered outside Hulao Pass densely, and there were many swords and guns, giving people an illusion of invincibility, the majestic Hulao Pass Shut in front of [-] soldiers, it looks so small.

There is not only Hulao Pass around Luoyang, but like Pingjin Pass in the north, there are also princes going to attack. In addition, food, grass and supplies need to be escorted by soldiers, and there are only [-] soldiers left outside Hulao Pass.

Looking at the tense expressions of the soldiers around him, Jia Rong laughed and said, "The [-]th Route princes, in my opinion, are just a mob. A simple gathering can cause chaos for so long. It's not falling apart."

The generals around him also woke up from the shock brought by the [-] troops, and began to look at the quality of these soldiers. After careful observation, as Jia Rong said, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The oppression brought by the [-] troops Feeling is not tens of thousands of troops, the thick battle formation can exhaust the soldiers to death even if they are tired, and you can kill them with numbness if you stand still. The army stretching for dozens of miles, even if it is killed from one end to the other, it will be too much. blacken.

After the coalition forces arrived outside the pass, they were not busy attacking. The four-foot-high city wall could not be breached overnight. The coalition soldiers had to wait for the arrival of food, supplies and siege equipment.

At that time, the real bloody battle began.

Under the leadership of various princes, the coalition soldiers took a circle outside Hulao Pass,

Brothers and sisters who like iron riding, how about collecting red tickets and rewarding them?The strength of the Xiliang Army depends on the joint efforts of all of you. Without food and grass, how can there be a strong army? Take the red tickets in your hands and throw them at the cavalry. Remember to collect them by the way.
