Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Let’s say that Duan Yan led [-] cavalry to the battlefield. The equipment of these cavalry is similar to that of the Xiliang Army, with big horse scimitars, stirrups and horseshoes. He has a thorough understanding of that set, even the equipment of the cavalry. Competing with the Xiliang Army, Duan Yan has sufficient confidence in his own cavalry. As a general, he has his own glory. Duan Yan's glory is the cavalry team he personally trained. It doesn't matter to him, fighting the Xiliang army is a wish hidden in his heart for a long time.

When Dong Zhuo started his career, he also relied on cavalry. Duan Yan knew more about cavalry training than Jia Rong. With the assembly of advanced weapons, the combat effectiveness of cavalry was soaring. Li Ru saw the cavalry trained by Duan Yan. , also must not admire.

Three thousand cavalry were ordered and prohibited, and there was no crime along the way. Scouts were all over the battlefield, always inquiring about the movement of the Xiliang army, hiding by day and night, greatly concealing the traces of the cavalry.

The scouts from the two sides met on the battlefield and started the initial exploration and attack. The scouts are the most elite cavalry and represent the highest personal strength of the cavalry. The scouts are not only bold, but also careful and skilled in martial arts. .

When Lu Bu heard the soldiers report the loss of the scouts, he wished he could immediately bring up Fang Tian's painted halberd and go out in person. More than fifty scouts lost nearly ten of them in one morning. This was an unprecedented situation, and it also made him vigilant. There is definitely another cavalry wandering in the sky, and the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is beyond imagination.

After many years of fighting, Lu Bu also understood a lot. He is no longer the brave general who put aside the life and death of soldiers and only wanted to enjoy himself for a while.

Like Lu Bu, Duan Yan was heartbroken. The Xiliang army lost ten scouts, and the scouts in his hands also paid the price of more than a dozen people. Both of them understood the importance of scouts on the battlefield. It is equivalent to a blind man, no matter how much the price is, he has to fill it in, not only the confrontation between the two armies before the confrontation, but also the acquisition of intelligence on the battlefield.

The two cavalry did not meet, and the battle between the scouts was extremely fierce. Most of the cavalry in Lu Bu's hands were athletes on the grassland, with superb riding skills and superb archery skills. Taking advantage of their superiority, these Xianbei warriors shined on the battlefield in Taiyuan County. In the process of fighting against the Bingzhou cavalry, they constantly combined their usual training and combat.

Under Xu Rong's construction, Pingtao is like a copper wall and iron wall, and his brows are slightly frowned. Pingtao's city wall is not as tall as Xihe County City, but it gives Huang Zhong the illusion that he is invincible. The defenders were so flustered and at a loss, but they behaved well.

"Who is General Pingtao?" Guo Jia asked.

"Xu Rong!"

"Xu Rong? This person should not be underestimated. He is a well-known general under Dong Zhuo's tent. During the Eighteenth Route Crusade, he led an army to resist the coalition forces." Huang Zhong frowned. Obviously, he had already done something to Li Ru's generals. Do some research.

Pingtao was heavily guarded, Huang Zhong ordered the three armies to set up camp for the time being, but he still followed the previous procedures and shot a letter of persuasion into the city. the city gate.

Guo Jia kept frowning and pondering in the big tent of the Chinese army. Xu Rong, the general of Pingtao, was a calm man. His own army provoked several times, but he never went out of the city to fight. On the contrary, during this time, it seemed that there were more defenders on the city. Looking at it, there are some new faces.

"Could it be that Xu Rong organized young men to defend the city?" Guo Jia whispered, "If that's the case, Pingtao City will be extremely difficult to break through." Moreover, the news that Lv Bu sent back from the battlefield recently surprised Guo Jia. There are not a few cavalry on the other side, well-trained, and capturing Bingzhou, it seems that it is not as simple as imagined. With Li Ru's means, it is definitely not the strength that the Xiliang Army has discovered on the surface. Jia Rong has considered these before. .

Lu Bu frowned when he heard the loss reported by the scouts. Over the past three days, a total of hundreds of scouts had been lost. The fighting between the scouts had become unprecedentedly fierce. compete with each other.

The Xiliang army lost 150 scouts, and the opponent lost at least [-]. Lu Bu couldn't imagine when Bingzhou had such a cavalry that could rival the Xiliang army. You must know that these scouts are all warriors on the grassland , Even when Xianbei was strong, it was still a strong soldier.

There was a sneer on Duan Yan's face. The scouts lost more than 100 people, and he also got important news. Lu Bu's cavalry only had 1000, while he had 3000. After the cavalry was defeated, Duan Yan began to prepare a series of combat measures. In a battle with such cavalry, he might lose everything if he was not careful. He would only take action if he was sure that there were no other cavalry wandering around, and he was very confident in Lu Bu It is an advantage that they did not find the location of their own cavalry.

The sky was getting dark gradually, a crescent moon hung quietly in the sky, and the afterglow was sprinkled on a troop of cavalry marching slowly below. Three thousand cavalrymen, with their feet bound by horsebits, walked, and the noise was reduced a lot. .

Duan Yan was in the Chinese army, with a resolute face, and occasionally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Lu Bu fell asleep, he suddenly turned over and got up. There was an undetectable vibration on the ground, which was clearly only felt when the cavalry was marching. He hurriedly lay down on the ground and listened carefully.

"Everyone is ready, the enemy is coming soon!" Lu Bu picked up Fangtai's painting halberd and roared loudly. Everyone moved, their horses and weapons were beside them, and they slept in armor. You can enter the combat state.

At this time, Duan Yan had led the cavalry outside the camp where Lu Bu was stationed. Looking at the slightly flustered cavalry of the Xiliang Army, a strange color flashed in his eyes. The ready-to-go cavalry shouted to kill the Xiliang army.

One is the Xianbei warriors on the grassland, and the other is the elite created by Duan Yan of Bingzhou. The two sides are fighting fiercely.

The prairie cavalry is skilled in bow and horse, and can make various evasive actions on the horse, while the Bingzhou cavalry wins because of their large numbers. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Both sides have the same equipment, and most of the competition is the number of soldiers. .

The Xiliang army was at a disadvantage in numbers, and after fighting for half an hour, they showed their defeat. The warriors on the grassland were still fighting hard. Without orders, they would not retreat, even if they died in battle.

With a Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, Lu Bu's aura revealed from head to toe made people dare not look directly at him. He rode one by one, charging from left to right among the Bingzhou cavalry, arousing bloody flowers.

Duan Yan praised: "Lu Bu is worthy of the name of bravery. At the beginning, the grand master tried his best to win him over, but he didn't expect..."

"Whoever captures Lu Bu alive will be rewarded with a hundred gold and promoted to three ranks." Duan Yan pointed at Lu Bu and shouted loudly.

After saying that, dozens of cavalrymen rushed towards Lu Bu. The cavalry rushed to the battlefield more to gain fame and fortune. Looking at Lu Bu's eyes, it was like seeing white money, which was within reach.

An hour later, the battle of the cavalry was coming to an end. Seeing that it was impossible, Lu Bu led the remnant soldiers to break through the encirclement and escape. Out of a thousand cavalry, there were only more than 3000 men left, and nearly [-] cavalry were lost in the first battle. Lu Bu's face was gloomy. Simmering thoughtfully and unintentionally, he led [-] cavalry to compete with the opponent's [-] troops. The speed and quality of cavalry are the most important factors in cavalry battle. When Duan Yan raided the camp, the Xiliang army had just prepared and had It is inferior.

Duan Yan listened to the results reported by the soldiers, and his smiling face lost its color. Three thousand cavalry covered and killed the opponent, and even lost 800 people. Such casualties are indeed unacceptable, but the Xiliang Army stayed behind The equipment and horses he bought made up for these losses. With these things, a cavalry can be reorganized again. The experience of blood and fire can make the cavalry truly grow. After this battle, Duan Yan believes that the cavalry Cavalry, progress will be rapid.

"The scouts should inquire about Lu Bu and the others immediately!" Duan Yan ordered.

He wanted to completely devour Lu Bu's cavalry and cut off the wings of the Xiliang army on the battlefield.

Lu Bu only had [-] cavalry in his hands, which also aroused his fighting spirit. He dared to break into the enemy's encirclement by riding alone. How could he retreat in fear? After ordering someone to report the loss to Huang Zhong, Lu Bu continued to lead the cavalry wandering On the battlefield, it is different from before. This time, they have no fixed place. They can change places with one shot. They will never give Duan Yan a chance to approach. Once they find something abnormal, they will run away immediately. Simmering away, some information about the Xiliang Army was also passed on to Li Ru and Xu Rong.

The casualties of the scouts made Lu Bu heartbroken. In this case, regardless of his status, he went out in person to recover some losses of the scouts.

Superb in archery and martial arts, when Lu Bu went out on horseback, the scouts would be surrounded by blood and blood. No matter how many people there were in the opponent, Lu Bu was unafraid. Once he directly used three scouts to face more than ten opponents, relying only on the bow and arrow in his hand. , All the opponents were shot off the horse, which attracted the Xianbei warriors to roar again and again. The tribes on the grassland worship the warriors most. They follow in the footsteps of the warriors and are not afraid of the death of life.

Lu Bu's trick shocked the spirits of the two hundred cavalrymen, because the emotions of the previous defeat also weakened a little.

Later, Lu Bu participated in the battles of the scouts many times, and he didn't see how he moved. Just relying on the bow and arrow in his hand, the opponent's scouts kept falling off the horse, which made Duan Yan's army terrified. The Xiliang army had a killing god holding a bow and arrow. , is also widely circulated among scouts.
