Xiliang Iron Cavalry

War is the killing of low-level soldiers, and their mortality rate is very high. Every time a soldier goes out to battle, there are very few soldiers who come back without any injuries.

Yuan Shao didn't understand why the Xiliang army would come up with so many insidious ways to defend the city, such as splashing oil and dung juice, which can be said to be harmful to nature, but any splash on the skin is painful and unbearable. The coalition army is no better than Xiliang In the army, the number of doctors is limited, so many soldiers at the bottom are injured, it is difficult for doctors to take care of them, so they have to rely on their own abilities. If you can survive, you can only say congratulations. If you can’t survive, find a place to bury you. It also saved food and grass for the army. As for the affairs behind you, I am afraid that no one will handle it for you.

The news of Jia Rong's return to Chang'an also reached Guo Si. For a moment, he felt full of fighting spirit. , It also lifted the spirit of the general, even if he watched from afar in Chang'an, it could make people feel at ease.

"Sword Master, you are indeed a man who kept his promise, but he recruited more than [-] coalition troops from the Central Plains princes for this general. Hangu Pass is in danger. It is really a big deal." Jia Rong took a sip of fragrant tea and sighed.

Wang Yue's complexion remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "The princes of the Central Plains, how can they compare with the Xiliang Army, more than [-] troops have been in Hangu Pass for several months, without an inch of success, I am afraid they will only be defeated, but the general We can take advantage of this opportunity to enter the Central Plains, and the great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains cannot be compared with the barren frontiers."

Jia Rong glanced at Wang Yue in surprise. He didn't expect this knight-errant with high martial arts skills to have such insight, and said, "Sword master, anyway, what reward do you want for your meritorious service to the Xiliang army?"

Wang Yue's body shook slightly, his eyes lacked the indifference just now, he stared at Jia Rong with scorching eyes and said, "Yue is an ignorant martial artist, thanks to the general's respect, he is willing to work for the general, if he violates it, he will be struck by lightning and shot through by random arrows." Heart to death." After speaking, he knelt down on the ground.

Jia Rong knew that this was Wang Yue's expression of his mentality, so he helped him up and said, "The swordsman has superb swordsmanship. I wonder if he is willing to train swordsmen for the Xiliang Army?"

"But it's up to the general to make the decision!" Although Wang Yue was slightly unhappy, he leaned over and said.

"Swordsman, I hope to see these swordsmen be able to rule the world in the future, not just with outstanding martial arts skills. They must know how to cooperate with each other. When the army attacks the city, they will respond secretly. The responsibility of opening the city gate is They will bear the responsibility, and if necessary, they will be the sharpest weapons in the hands of the Xiliang Army, taking lives and even seizing the city, everything will be done." Jia Rong said slowly what he had in mind.

Wang Yue thought for a moment, wanted to understand the key point, and said: "Don't dare to disobey!" He also knew that he was incapable of being an official or a general except for his swordsmanship. If it can be done, every time the army attacks the city, the swordsman will be the most successful. It is difficult for Wang Yue to train swordsmen, but he has many apprentices under his command, so he only needs to be responsible for patrolling and checking.

"Sword master, this matter is very important. Don't let the wind leak. These swordsmen will become a great weapon in the hands of the Xiliang army in the future." Jia Rong said: "Wang Yue, this general appointed you as the commander of the assassination, and you will return directly to this General command, from now on we will do our best to train swordsmen, and we will make great achievements on the battlefield in the future."

Wang Yue bowed: "Thank you, General!" During such a period of time in Chang'an, Wang Yue has studied the official positions of the Xiliang Army. And he jumped into the army directly under Jia Rong, and his position in the army is detached, which is definitely a great favor. What a fierce general Lu Bu has made great achievements for the Xiliang army. Wasn't he still a battalion general in Xiliang? In the army, no matter who it is, they have to start from the bottom step by step. Like himself, there are very few who can lead an army alone. As the backbone, He Chou will be taken away. It can be said that since then, Wang Yue has also become a senior officer in the Xiliang Army, and he is only under the command of Jia Rong. That alone is enough.

"From now on, you can select the most qualified soldiers from the camp for training. The number is tentatively set at 500." Jia Rong said, "But this general believes that assassination does not require so many soldiers, only 100 soldiers are enough. The assassination must be the most elite soldiers, one against ten against one hundred."

"Promise!" Wang Yue clasped his fists and said, his heart was full of excitement, he wished he could scream up to the sky, finally got what he had dreamed of for many years, and the Xiliang Army and even the whole world would have their own place in the future.

Assassination is no better than other charging troops, just like lone wolf soldiers. Assassination and spying intelligence, the soldiers among them are all elite and masters.

A gorgeously decorated carriage was speeding towards Hangu Pass.

"It's better to use my Chang'an carriage!" Jia Rong glanced at the decoration inside the carriage and sighed.

This carriage can be said to be the painstaking effort of the craftsman's workshop. The wheels used are also made of steel. It is a spring, no matter how bumpy it is, the people inside can't feel it, and there is no such thing as the hard work of riding a carriage as the ancients said. The spring can be said to be the representative of the most peak items in the craftsman's workshop. Don't underestimate this thing. It may be everywhere in future generations. It can be seen, but in ancient times when technology was backward, it was not the case. It was difficult to forge steel so flexible.

There are tea, wine, and food in the carriage. The person who designed the carriage thought it was extremely thoughtful, and there was a couch behind Jia Rong, so he could take a rest on the way.

The battle at Hangu Pass was critical, and there was also a concrete road about three meters wide from Chang'an to Hangu Pass, and the transportation of grain and other materials was extremely convenient.

The princes stopped attacking, and the continuous losses made them a little unbearable. The attack for ten days and ten nights was extremely sharp, but they still couldn't do anything to the Xiliang Army. Nearly 5 soldiers were lost, and more than [-] troops were lost at once. However, the price paid by the closed Xiliang army was also not small. The soldiers of the princes attacked the city wall countless times, and almost took control of the city wall once.

Guo Si, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other generals stood respectfully in front of the team, looking forward from time to time.

About a quarter of an hour, when Guo Bang was wiping his sweat, dozens of carriages appeared on the road, and more than [-] cavalrymen looked around vigilantly. If you carefully observe the equipment of these soldiers, you will find that even Commander Zhao Yun's Compared with these soldiers, the blood guards were still inferior, not only in terms of equipment, but also in their aura. After all, the blood guards of Commander Zhao Yun had undergone repeated blood changes.

The luxuriously decorated carriage stopped slowly, Jia Rong stretched his waist, and with the help of the maid, walked out of the carriage cautiously, sighing in his heart: "This life is really a bit extravagant, and there are beauties to take care of you when you travel."

"My lord!" The general in front knelt on one knee and bowed.

All the soldiers bowed loudly and shouted in unison: "General!"

Jia Rong's hands trembled imperceptibly. If these people hadn't fought hard at Hangu Pass, the Xiliang army would have suffered a lot of losses.

The movement of the gate naturally attracted the attention of the defenders. In the Xiliang army, there is probably only one person who can receive this great gift. The soldiers who have always been calm are so excited. If there is no strict order in the army, I am afraid They would rush to tell each other, "The general is coming, and the princes' army outside the city will be in trouble."

He helped Guo Si and Guo Jia up, and said softly: "Hangu Pass was able to resist the allied forces of the princes, you two have contributed a lot, and we will talk about it after we get to Guanzhong."

"Everyone, please stand up!" Jia Rong said loudly.

When he came to the barracks and understood the current situation, Jia Rong no longer had the indifferent expression he had when he first arrived. Forty thousand defenders lost more than 1 horses. At this time of precarious weather, the Xiliang Army must be on guard against the enemy, and it is impossible to withdraw Too many troops went to Hangu Pass, soldiers were mobilized, and too much supplies were consumed. The [-] troops in Chang'an City were the standing army, specially prepared for war.

"Humble and incompetent, I have failed the important task entrusted by the lord!" Guo Si bowed.

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others also paid homage: "My lord, please punish me!"

Jia Rong waved his hands and said, "The bounden duty of a soldier is to fight. Since it is a war, there must be sacrifices. No matter how difficult the finances are, the families of these soldiers must be given pensions. We cannot let our heroes shed blood and then cry."

"Promise!" There are all generals in the field. Hearing these words, my heart is surging. Generals fight on the battlefield without fear of death. Defending the country is just a general slogan. In fact, they still want to let their relatives live a good life without suffering. In the flames of war, don't let the heroes shed blood and then shed tears. One sentence expresses all the aspirations of soldiers and generals.

"Take me to the gate to have a look. I heard that the allied forces of the princes are approaching menacingly. If I don't go to meet them, it would be a bit rude." Jia Rong said slowly.

"The allied forces of the lords are really strong!" Jia Rong sighed. If the allied army against Dong Zhuo had such momentum in the past, it would be difficult to hold Hulao Pass. After many years of fighting, the soldiers in the hands of the lords are all elite, otherwise the Xiliang army would not lose. With so many soldiers, it seems that they have underestimated the princes of the world.

"My lord, there is a siege weapon in the armies of the princes, called the Perak Chariot, which can throw stones up from the bottom of the city, and it is quite powerful." Guo Jia said.

Jia Rong smiled and said: "Feng Xiao, the thunderbolt chariot thrown from the bottom of the city to the top of the city has such momentum. If our army has a thunderbolt chariot thrown down from the city, what will be the result?"

Guo Jia's body was shocked, and he said in shock: "My lord, could it be that our army also has this kind of weapon?"

Seeing a group of generals staring at him with burning eyes, Jia Rong nodded slowly and said: "When I learned that there were thunder chariots in the army of the princes, I ordered the craftsman workshop to speed up the production. In the future, let them experience the power of Thunderbolt."
