Xiliang Iron Cavalry

With Zhou Cang's desperate efforts, Guan Yu was able to escape back to the city.Hearing the sound of the city gate being heavily closed, Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yu was shot by an arrow in his arm. Fortunately, the arrow was not coated with poison, and he only needed to rest.

Cao Cao said regretfully, "I never expected to dispatch tiger and leopard cavalry, but Guan Yu still could not be captured!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The arrow hit by Guan Yu must have had an impact on the morale of the defenders in the city. Now is the best time to attack the city. Our army has 10 people. If we attack the city day and night, the defenders will definitely be at a loss. See Lining."

An army of [-] besieged the four gates of Pengcheng, but focused on attacking the east gate. The moat was filled up by Cao Jun at an astonishing speed. Cao Cao will definitely have some preparations for attacking Pengcheng again, especially the sand needed to fill up the moat. Things were prepared as early as the march of the army, just waiting to launch a fierce offensive. Since ancient times, the siege of the city has been all about besieging three and missing one, so that the defenders in the city feel that there is hope for survival, so they give up resistance, but Cao Cao is determined to go his own way. , Surrounded the entire city, without him, wanted to capture Guan Yu alive, the defenders lost a pillar like Guan Yu, and their strength plummeted.

Guan Yu couldn't sit still in the room when he heard that Cao Jun was attacking the city. He rushed to the top of the city with his wounds. If you are prepared, it will take some time to fill up the moat, and the defenders can take advantage of this time to practice archery in an orderly manner and shoot Cao Jun outside the city.

Cao Jun's progress made Guan Yu extremely anxious. However, Cao Jun had 10 people and surrounded the entire city tightly. It was very difficult to send someone to ask Liu Bei for help. As expected, Pengcheng wandered around With countless cavalry, even if Guan Yu's request for help was sent out, it would be difficult for him to do his job. Mr. Xuzhou came in a hurry, and Cao Jun would only seize the opportunity and defeat them one by one.

The battle in Xuzhou is going on fiercely. Jia Rong led the army in Daling also not idle. They attacked Daling day and night. It has been two months since the start of the war. The loss of soldiers and the loss of food and supplies have not been seen. Contrary to previous expectations, but the situation in the Central Plains made Jia Rong see an opportunity to pacify Bingzhou, and then pacify Youzhou. The series of actions strengthened his determination. If Youzhou merged with Liangzhou, plus the three cities on the grassland with millions of people, Jia Rong would become the largest prince in the Han Dynasty. The vastness is not comparable to that of the princes of the Central Plains. In the era of cold weapons, what is fought in war is people and material resources. Without people, how can there be an army? Without financial resources, how can the people fight for you? For the great righteousness, the recruits will only be a group of cowardly soldiers who flee in embarrassment when encountering a strong enemy on the battlefield. The people on the grassland can join the army with a sword and gun, which is a good resource for combat preparation.

Xu Rong turned gray all night. The siege weapons of the Xiliang army were particularly powerful, and they attacked the city wall again and again. Fortunately, the cowhide and other things on the city greatly blocked the offensive of the Perak Chariot, which made the defenders There was a chance to breathe, but even so, the defenders paid a huge price. The heavy infantry on Jinglan rushed to the city wall again and again, almost taking control of the city.

In order to cooperate with Jia Rong's will to conquer Youzhou after pacifying Bingzhou, the Xiliang Army sent another [-] troops to advance in the direction of Bingzhou.

The cities along the way also tried their best to cooperate. Thanks to Zhang Zhao's efforts, officials in the counties occupied by the Xiliang Army have begun to govern the area and restore people's livelihood. , the people were greatly mobilized, and there was nothing like what should have happened after the war just now.

Duan Yan was completely huddled in the Jingling, without the slightest intention of going out of the city to fight, especially when Lu Bu Ma Chao led the cavalry to the Jingling city. At this time, there were nearly 6000 cavalry under the city, and there were only nearly [-] cavalry on his side. In attack, the weapon is inferior to the opponent, and the ability of the soldiers is inferior to the opponent. This is the most basic courage, which is more than a step behind the opponent.

Li Ru was ill, and lost in successive battles. Li Ru's painstaking efforts for several years still had no effect. The Xiliang Army's offensive made him feel powerless. I have this feeling. I never thought that after a few years, the Xiliang Army would have made such achievements. Such wells and ladders to attack the city were beyond the imagination of many princes. When they were still worrying about the armor on the soldiers At that time, the Xiliang army had already begun to use high-quality iron materials to build siege weapons such as ladders and well rails. Is there any suspense in such a battle? The duel between Duan Yan and the Xiliang cavalry was a failure. Great, even if Duan Yao's [-] cavalry is completely wiped out with [-] cavalry, it will not hurt the bones. On the contrary, Bingzhou is barren and barren. In order to cooperate with Li Ru's army expansion, the tax has increased. , in exile, the taxes of the people under the Xiliang Army's rule are probably the lowest.

Bingzhou's successive defeats made the officials panic. I don't know how many family officials secretly contacted the Xiliang Army, and even the soldiers in the army were eager to move. You must know that there are many soldiers in the army. As far as the actual situation of the army is concerned, it is probably the biggest temptation for the Bingzhou army. However, Li Ru still dare not take too extreme actions. The strength of the army to resist.

Yuan Shao sent [-] troops and marched towards the border of Youzhou with great arrogance. Gao Lan of Zhuojun learned that the army was coming, and he had already left the city ten miles away to meet him.

Yan Liang got off his horse in a hurry. Over the years by Tian Feng's side, he had learned a lot, especially Unity Paoze, who was no longer as proud and arrogant as before. Yan Liang's own martial arts are not bad, and with this insight, he quickly won the love of soldiers in the army.

After the two met, they walked into the city side by side. Yan Liang gave Gao Lan full respect. It was just in response to the sentence that those who respect others will always respect them. Gao Lan's favor for Yan Liang also increased gradually. Originally thought that Yan Liang was the general of the Jizhou Army, and he must have made a plan for everything, but he didn't expect to be so easy to talk, and explained the situation of Zhuojun and Youzhou to Yan Liang in detail.

When Yan Rou of Youzhou learned that Yuan Shao's army was knocking on his side, he hurriedly dispatched troops. The acting county guard was Wei Lan, a Wuhuan general who had served under Yan Rou's tent for many years and made great military exploits. Since he is from Wuhuan, he has not been able to be used again, and he has been suppressed in the army. This time, Yan Rou sent Weilan to Daijun to guard the army. Since Li Ru rebelled in Bingzhou, Xiliang army retreated After that, Yan Rou, who got the news in advance, hurriedly occupied Dai County without giving Yuan Shaojun any chance.

Wei Lan was ordered to guard the Dai County, and he did not slack off in the slightest. He was not valued in Youzhou, and the clansman did not live a happy and stable life as expected, so Wei Lan had to rely on his own efforts to obtain it.

Yan Liang immediately slashed his sword and shouted loudly: "The guard in the city, how dare you go out of the city to fight!"

Yan Liang was originally born with five big and three rough, and he was quite loved by the soldiers. This roar was full of arrogance, which attracted the attention of the defenders in the city. In the past battles in Youzhou, Yan Liang had participated in many times, so among the soldiers There are not a few people who are familiar with Yan Liang. After seeing the person who came, many soldiers whispered. The scene of Yan Liang leading the army in Youzhou was vivid in his memory. Baima Yicong was defeated by Yan Liang. Under the brilliance of the general, the counselors' plans became a bit insignificant. Relying on the tyrannical strength, what Yan Liang wanted to do was not only to deter, but also to shake the defenders. To achieve the effect of defeating others without fighting, according to Tian Feng, this is the highest honor for a general.

Who is Weilan, how could he be so cowardly in the city, but Yan Liang's prestige should not be underestimated. He gathered five hundred cavalry and went out to fight against the city. The Wuhuan cavalry is worthy of the name of bravery. In the first battle, the soldiers under Yan Liang's command were killed and separated. Yan Liang hurriedly led the army to retreat. Weilan pursued Yan Liang and killed him outside the army camp before giving up his troops. , Fight to Fame.

Weilan is not only good at martial arts, but also knowledgeable in marching and fighting. When Yan Rou encounters some wars, he still asks him for advice. Just now Weilan saw that Yan Liang's army was provocative in the city before they were stationed, and the faces of the soldiers were tired. He led the army without hesitation and defeated Yan Liang. However, after Youzhou stabilized, Yan Rou became a little arrogant in her actions, and Weilan stepped out of the core under the trend of the general trend.

The soldiers in the city saw that Yan Liang was nothing more than that, and their confidence in defending the city swelled a lot, and their eyes when they looked at the mighty army outside the city became more determined.

Yan Liang returned to the army with a gloomy expression. In Yuan Shao's army, General Yan Liangwen Chou was like a pillar. He never expected to be defeated by an unknown man. Judging by the situation, he seemed to be a Wuhuan. When was he in the Han Dynasty? The content made this group of aliens rampant, but Yan Liang did not dare to underestimate the strength of the opponent, so he suppressed the burning anger in his chest. This time the army sent 10 troops, Daijun is bound to win, but Jizhou is the cavalry. Big deficiency.

After Yuan Shao received Yan Liang's urgent letter from the front, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

Xu You said: "General Yan Liang just arrived in Dai Commandery for the first time. He didn't adapt to it for a while, and was attacked by the general, which caused the army to lose some soldiers. It is nothing to worry about. General Yan is brave and resourceful. When he led the army to fight in Youzhou, General Gongsun Zan His Baima Yicong was defeated and lost, and he is a rare general."
