Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 494: The princes withdraw their troops

Yuan Shao's face changed slightly, he just praised Li Ru, why didn't he want to push Li Ru to the forefront, once the army retreats, let the Xiliang army take care of Li Ru, but Li Ru is such a character, how can he be willing to be manipulated like this , Immediately counterattack.

"After this battle, it is expected that some soldiers in the Xiliang army will be infected with the plague, and our army's goal has been achieved. If there is a little carelessness, the plague will spread in the Xiliang army, and a big enemy will be solved. "Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile, being able to deal with the Xiliang Army without bloodshed made him feel that his trip was worthwhile.

"That's right, the Xiliang army can't pose a threat to us, can we retreat?" Liu Biao asked, in his heart, he didn't want to stay in Hangu Pass anymore, with an initial army of [-], a plague is worse than a battle Be turbulent, now there are only [-] soldiers left, these soldiers are all gathered by Liu Biao for many years, the elite of Jingzhou.

Yuan Shao said: "Jing Sheng's words are correct. Among the army, there are many people who are infected with the plague. If they stay here, they will no longer be able to perform their merits. Why don't they retreat and plan big plans in the future."

The coalition army came and went quickly. They were not defeated by the powerful Xiliang army, but by the plague. When they came, there were more than [-] troops, and when they left, there were more than [-]. The number of deaths in battle was not as many as those infected by the plague. , quite a feeling of anticlimactic, the soldiers with symptoms of the plague were all abandoned by the princes along the way, the dead can be seen everywhere, some people were accidentally infected with the plague, and the number of deaths became more and more. [

When Jia Rong heard the news of the retreat of the allied forces, he didn't feel at all relaxed. He hurriedly ordered that the place where the allied forces were stationed be piled up with firewood and the like, poured oil on it, lit a fire, and spread gray lime outside the pass.

There are already nearly 300 soldiers in the wounded battalion of the Xiliang Army. Although these people are in a good state of mind, they cannot stop Death. If the current situation continues, more and more soldiers will be infected.

Following the example of doctors in later generations, Jia Rong ordered doctors to wear masks to prevent the spread of the plague. This also greatly guaranteed the safety of doctors, at least not having direct air contact with patients.

"Feng Xiao, how do you feel?" Jia Rong ignored Hua Yu's advice and tried to see Guo Jia.

After a few days away, Guo Jia's face had already turned pale. The attack of the disease and the psychological pressure made him haggard a lot.

Seeing Jia Rong's arrival, a look of surprise flashed in Guo Jia's empty eyes, he struggled to sit up, and wanted to bow down to salute, but Jia Rong stopped him.

"My lord, Jia has already contracted a serious illness. My lord should put the big things first and shouldn't come to see Jia." Although Guo Jia was excited in his heart, he complained in his words, obviously dissatisfied with Jia Rong's actions.

"It's okay, Feng Xiao, I'm blessed and fateful. When I was on the river, I was poisoned, so I survived it, so you can't give up, but you must seize every opportunity that comes your way, and don't give up on yourself. This king needs your help, no matter what, your life must be saved." Jia Rong's tone is unquestionable, "When you recognize me as the lord, your life is mine, without my order, You can't die."

Guo Jia felt his throat was a little congested, Jia Rong's words gave him an unprecedented desire to survive, to live, to live for the sake of the lord.

"My lord..." Guo Jia couldn't hold back after all, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, what are you crying for a big man, take good care of your illness, and I will come to see you later."

After Jia Rongyuan left, Guo Jia whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "My lord, this humble life will be yours from now on."

The soldiers of the wounded barracks gathered together, and the most discussed was their military exploits. They had followed Jia Rong for many years, and what they were worth showing off was their achievements.

The soldiers who were able to be selected to resist the princes at Hangu Pass were not elite soldiers who had fought many battles, and their hands might be stained with the blood of the enemy, so they died silently. They will be properly settled. Ever since they joined the army, they have thought that there will be such a day, but they are just a bit useless to die.

"Back then, I followed the general in Xianbei, and the battle was enjoyable, and he directly wiped out the most elite wolf army in Xianbei." A general said proudly.

"What's so great about that? The Xianbei army itself is weak. At the beginning, I followed the military adviser to defeat the tens of thousands of Xianbei troops outside Yanmen Pass." Another general retorted dissatisfied.

"What do you know, kid? When I was in the army, you were still playing with mud. At that time, when the general and I were in Xianbei, the horses had no stirrups, horseshoes, and no armor on their bodies. They relied entirely on a machete in their hands. , and the wolf army is the most elite team in the Xianbei army, with superb riding skills and excellent equipment. people."

The general suddenly asked: "Do you know what a wolf army is?"

"The wolf army, isn't it the army that the Xianbei army thought it was an enemy across the grassland, and it was still defeated by the Xiliang army, so no matter what kind of army it is, it can't beat our Xiliang army." The general said disapprovingly. [

"Don't yell, listen to him, what happens when you meet the wolf army?" The general who interrupted had some prestige in the army.

More than a dozen soldiers were also attracted by the conversation between the generals. Usually, there are very few opportunities to have such direct contact with the generals, and the bottom-level soldiers know very little news. Such topics have great influence on them. attraction.

"The wolf army was the most elite unit under Tan Shihuai when he unified Xianbei. It swept Xianbei back then." The general said slowly.

The soldiers didn't know who Tan Shihuai was, they only knew that the Xiliang Army was the enemy and was invincible.

"In that battle, the sky was dark and the sky was dark. Except for the scimitar in our hands, our army's equipment was hard to compare with the Xianbei wolf army. The cavalry of the opponent's cavalry even far surpassed our army."

Seeing that the general beside him was also attracted by him, his face showed a touch of color. The experience of being in the grassland with Jia Rong was the most unforgettable and most worthy of showing off in his life. In his spare time, This is what I am most willing to talk about. It has been tried and tested many times to focus everyone's attention on me.

"The fierce battle was the worst since our army entered the grassland. The entire wolf army was wiped out, and our army only had more than [-] people left." The general's face showed nostalgia, Can survive that battle, but lost to the plague.

Everyone was silent. Although the general's words were brief, they could imagine the tragic situation of the war at that time.

"Your boy wouldn't have participated in that battle, otherwise, how could he describe it so clearly." The general's tone was full of envy.

"That's right, I was the only one among the more than fifty people who survived. I didn't expect that the elite wolf army didn't kill me, but died under the plague." The general sighed.

Zhang Zhong immediately became silent. After many battles, he was about to rise to the top with great difficulty, but fate made a joke, and anyone would feel bad.

"Brother, be careful, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. Maybe this time is also a test for you. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be the leader of the Xiliang Army in the future." The general pretended Sophisticated advice.

"Brothers, don't worry, the general will not give up on you." At some point, a medical staff walked in.

The battlefield is cruel, and the plague is even more cruel. At least you can see the enemy on the battlefield. If you are skilled, you can avoid the enemy's open and dark arrows, but under the plague, how many people can survive.

Although Jia Rong’s reward was very high, but the medical skills of this era are limited after all. It is very difficult to stabilize the plague situation by relying on medicine every day. These days, doctors keep coming in and going out. Shaking his head and leaving.

Under the heavy reward, there is no shortage of brave men, and the medical staff have stepped forward, and the results are quite impressive. The plague is basically under control. The measures taken in Chang'an are relatively early, and the plague has not arrived, so it has no influence.

Not only the Xiliang army, when the princes withdrew their troops, the deaths of soldiers were also very heavy. In short, in this attack on the Xiliang army, all parties suffered casualties.

The plague had stabilized a bit. Jia Rong was determined and focused on rectifying the army. A battle also exposed some problems in the Xiliang army. There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness, but there is still a certain lack of cooperation between the teams. The main reason is that the generals could not grasp the opportunity in time, and the soldiers could not make effective judgments. This also pointed out the direction for Jia Rong to train the soldiers next, focusing on training the generals' ability to adapt to the battlefield.

The feudal lords attacked Hangu Pass, and the food and grass of the Xiliang army was almost exhausted. The biggest loss was the merchants in Chang'an. The feudal lords blocked the road leading to Chang'an, and the goods could not be circulated. How can we talk about doing business with others? Fortunately, The rice grain in the land of Chang'an is controlled by the government, and the merchants dare not mess around, so there is no turmoil among the people.

"Now, the princes have withdrawn their troops, and our army has suffered losses after this battle. The plague has stabilized for the time being, but the medical staff should not let down their vigilance."

In addition to the civil and military officials in the big tent, Hao Ran, the staff of the medical center headed by Hua Yu, was on the list. The Xiliang army was able to repel the coalition forces of the princes this time, and the medical center contributed a lot, especially at the critical moment. After discovering a way to stabilize the plague, Jia Rong was overjoyed and directly awarded a hundred gold, which can be said to be the highest reward ever since the establishment of the Xiliang Army. He received so much reward at once from an unknown medical staff. While the rest of the medical staff were jealous, they also began to step up their efforts to conquer the plague already.

Fewer and fewer soldiers died in the wounded barracks, and now groups of soldiers gathered together, their faces were no longer worried like they were at first, especially the generals who had followed Jia Rong from the grassland battle, their faces were full of red, His own martial arts are not weak, and his qualifications in the army are quite high. As expected, he will become a battalion general after leaving the wounded barracks this time. In the Xiliang army, the battalion general can be called a high-ranking general. [
