Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Among the princes, there is such a strong army!" Guo Si said in surprise.

"Looking at the banner of this cavalry, it is Cao Jun. Cao Cao is well-managed and has always had strategies. Given time, he must be a great enemy of the lord, and he should be eradicated as soon as possible." Guo Jia said.

"Wen You, the army in your hands is the Xiliang Army. I wonder if there is a way for Jia Rong to train soldiers?" Yuan Shao suddenly asked in the central army tent.

Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others also cast their curious eyes on Li Ru. Jia Rong holds a strong army and is invincible. The princes are naturally extremely envious, especially the cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

"The Xiliang Army can be said to have been selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. Each soldier can be called an elite. The soldiers in the army are divided according to their grades. They are high-ranking soldiers, middle-ranking soldiers, and low-ranking soldiers. It is divided into three ranks, also known as the nine ranks of soldiers. All soldiers in the army are probably the best among the middle soldiers. To distinguish the ranks of soldiers, you can see from the things worn on their clothes that all the cavalrymen who fought today are all The upper class soldiers have different grades and different military salaries. The top class soldiers are paid three times as much as the lower class soldiers, and their status is higher on weekdays. Of course, soldiers are equal and cannot cause trouble with each other."

Cao Cao stared at Li Ru with burning eyes. Jia Rong's classification of soldiers can stimulate soldiers in the army and inspire them to move forward bravely. As soldiers, no one wants to be inferior to others, especially when it comes to soldiers' salaries. The Xiliang army is rich and powerful. Most of the soldiers of the Central Plains vassals fight for free. There is no salary. Forget it, no matter where it is, there will be no absolute fairness.

"Some middle and lower soldiers are mostly in charge of city defense and patrolling in the city, and there is no chance for them to play at all." Seeing that the princes are very interested, Li Ru continued: "It is scary that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army They have always been unafraid of sacrifice. All soldiers regard death in battle as the greatest glory. The tall hero monument in Chang'an City is their home. At the same time, Jia Rong also stipulated that the families of Xiliang soldiers who died in battle do not need to pay taxes, and the government will be responsible for them. The family members arrange things to do and ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. Soldiers on the battlefield don’t have to worry about what will happen to them, and they will naturally go forward bravely and risk their lives.”

"The Xiliang Army is so powerful, it's really extraordinary!" Yuan Shao sighed.

"In the Xiliang Army, Jia Rong's generals are divided into division commander, regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader. Only battalion commanders and above can be called generals, which is completely different from the Central Plains military system. .”

"And what's even more frightening is that the Xiliang Army is equipped with medical soldiers. These soldiers are not in charge of fighting, but are only responsible for treating soldiers. The medical center in Chang'an City, I am afraid that everyone present has heard that every team will send medical soldiers. If a soldier is injured, medical soldiers will immediately carry him down for treatment."

What Li Ru said is just some superficial aspects of the Xiliang Army, but through these systems, all the princes can see the strength of the Xiliang Army, able to formulate such detailed rules, and properly handle the deaths and injuries of soldiers on the battlefield and the affairs behind them. It's all right, the soldiers dare not die.

"In general, the Xiliang Army's soldiers' equipment and money are supported by craftsmen workshops. Jia Rong has two advisers, one is Jia Xu, and the other is Guo Jia. Both of them are talented. He is highly valued by Jia Rong and is in charge of Chang'an affairs." Li Ru said.

After Li Ru's explanation, the princes in the tent undoubtedly opened their eyes. In the past, they only heard how powerful the Xiliang Army was. Worry, people don't have to worry about three meals a day, businessmen are profitable, Chang'an's prosperity is not accidental.

"The soldiers in Wenyou's army are all the former Xiliang Army, and their combat effectiveness can be described as unmatched. Sending soldiers to challenge the Xiliang Army in the Guan in the future may be able to hit the morale of the defenders to a certain extent." Yuan Shao said.

All the princes in the tent thought so.

Li Ru shook his head and said, "Master, there is another system in the Xiliang Army that is an instructor. Every company's combat unit has one who is responsible for the soldiers' daily ideological work. It can be said that they have won the hearts of the soldiers. Challenge Guanzhong and see the old robes, it is inevitable that these soldiers will turn against each other, if such a thing happens at that time, it will deal a great blow to the allied forces."

"Anyway, we fought against the Xiliang Army today, and both sides suffered casualties, thanks to Meng De's cavalry." Yuan Shao said.

"The leader of the alliance praises that there are not many cavalry in our army, and we cannot afford such consumption." Cao Cao said.

"It's okay, let the Xiliang army see the demeanor of Jizhou Erlang in the future." Yuan Shao's eyes tightened suddenly, and he said loudly.

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly. The strength of the Jizhou Army is undoubted. Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness has been defeated by Yuan Shao repeatedly from the frontier. There must be a team that can restrain the cavalry. This is why Cao Cao is very scrupulous about Yuan Shao. These princes The coalition formed, the camps are separated from each other, just like when the Eighteenth Route princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, it is difficult to know each other.

"The lord will definitely be able to win a complete victory by sending troops in person." The princes echoed one after another, as long as they are not allowed to contribute, it doesn't matter if they say a compliment.

The next day, as Yuan Shao expected, another army went out to challenge the city. The leader was Ma Teng, a new general of the Xiliang Army. It is an unknown existence.

"The armies of the princes dare to fight!"

As soon as Ma Teng left the city, Yuan Shao had already received the news that the three armies were dispatched, and the flags were flying. Yuan Shao stood majestically under the banner of Shuaizi, watching the five hundred cavalry in front of the army with cold eyes. Judging from the aura of these cavalrymen, they were inferior by more than one grade to the cavalrymen of Zhao Yun's troops who fought yesterday.

"Zhang Jaw, if you lead the army into battle, you can't ruin the reputation of the Jizhou army." Yuan Shao said.

Zhang Jace stepped forward immediately, clasped his fists to promise, and gave an order, and a thousand soldiers walked out from the Jizhou army.

Li Ru frowned slightly, these Jizhou troops turned out to be infantry, didn't Yuan Shao know that cavalry was born to be the nemesis of infantry?Especially the brave Xiliang army, I am afraid that only one charge is needed, and Yuan Jun's soldiers will no longer exist.Although he felt that Yuan Shao's move would not be easy, he was still somewhat disappointed by the scene in front of him.

Suddenly, Li Ru's pupils constricted. He noticed the equipment of these soldiers. They were holding halberds and wearing solid armor, just like heavy infantry. What made the halberds in their hands particularly attractive was its length. Without a doubt, such Long weapons will pierce the galloping cavalry, and the armor on their bodies can effectively protect their safety on the battlefield.

With his jaw open and his expression awe-inspiring, he rode his horse and walked among the euphorbia warriors, fighting against the world-famous Xiliang Army, he was inevitably a little excited.

"Would the Xiliang army dare to fight?" Zhang Jai roared loudly, his voice full of arrogance resounded throughout the battlefield.

Ma Teng was amazed at the equipment of these soldiers, but he didn't want to let the soldiers under him retreat. With a wave of the long knife in his hand, the sound of rumbling horseshoes accompanied by the sound of dust, he killed the euphorbia soldiers led by Zhang Jaw.

Yuan Shao was a little nervous, his palms were sweating, the halberd soldier let Bai Ma Yicong lose his halberd, but facing the world-famous Xiliang army, what will the outcome be?

The two teams were approaching, and the rain of arrows from the Xiliang Army did not cause much damage to them. Except for a few unlucky euphorbia soldiers who were shot in the face, the rest of the soldiers still marched neatly towards Ma Teng. Holding the halberd tightly in their hands, their expressions were indifferent, as if such a scene did not pose any challenges to them, or they had already experienced too much and had already become numb.

Guo Jia who closed the door looked gloomy. From the equipment of these soldiers, he could see the figures of heavy infantry. He did not expect that in addition to yesterday's cavalry, there were such troops in the army of the princes. The princes have fought for many years, and most of them have some family background. It is understandable, but I never thought that there would be princes who would make great efforts to cultivate such an army.

In particular, this team can still take firm steps in the face of the cavalry charge, all of which show that it is actually a strong army.

At the beginning of the fight, the Xiliang Army is worthy of the name of the elite. I saw the cavalry doing some unimaginable movements on the horses, avoiding the stabbing halberds, and their agility made the witnesses amazed. The machete harvested the lives of the euphorbia warriors However, although these people were wrapped in heavy armor, the soldiers did not show helplessness, but instead went towards the infantry with swords and knives.

Under the command of Zhang Jaw, the euphorbia soldiers gradually stabilized their positions and continued to fight against the Xiliang army. No matter how agile your body is, how can you escape the halberds in the hands of the infantry? With uniform movements.

Unprepared, not a few cavalry were stabbed and fell off their horses. The horses neighed, and the battlefield boiled instantly, with people shouting and neighing continuously.

After fighting for only a moment, Ma Teng felt the difficulty of the cavalry in front of him, especially under the command of Zhang Jaw, he maximized the advantages of the infantry, and replaced it with ordinary cavalry, which had already shown a defeat, and his face was gloomy. , Ma Teng tried his best to slash at a euphorbia soldier, the light of the horse's sword was gone in a flash, the armor on the infantry could not save his life, the long knife in Ma Teng's hand was the best iron doped Forged from black iron, not to mention cutting iron like mud, it is also a rare and good weapon. The four words "unbelievable" are clearly written in the eyes of the euphorbia warrior. His eyes are wide open, and he kneels powerlessly, and his head falls in a pool of blood among.

The situation between the two warring parties gradually turned into a stalemate. The euphorbia soldiers were well-equipped and commanded properly with their jaws open. They even stabilized the cavalry's offensive.

Blocking the sharpness of the cavalry's attack, the Xiliang army basically faced a one-sided massacre. The euphorbia soldiers were like demons reaping their lives, and one cavalryman was knocked off his horse.
