Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Fang Tian painted the halberd in Lu Bu's hands, as if endowed with spirituality, and rushed from left to right. Yan Liang, who had been defending tightly under Ma Chao's men just now, suddenly became overwhelmed, and was almost knocked off his horse by Lu Bu several times.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao was shocked, and hurriedly said: "General Wen, hurry up and rescue General Yan." He knew Lu Bu's reputation, and he didn't want his general to die in battle like this.

Wen Chou didn't dare to be negligent, so he charged out with his saber and went straight to Lu Bu in the formation. Two generals of the Jizhou Army fought against Lu Bu, and the soldiers on both sides held their breaths. This kind of battle is rare. It can improve the adaptability of the battlefield.

Seeing this, the generals of the Xiliang Army did not make any changes, but their eyes on the battlefield became more and more concentrated. Lu Bu's martial arts skills are superb, and many generals are yearning for them. Watching Lu Bu in battle can make up for their shortcomings in moves. A way to increase battlefield experience, naturally not to be missed.

Fang Tian fought twice with a halberd, without losing the slightest bit of wind. He hacked and stabbed, but Yan Liangwen and Chou were killed and retreated steadily. If the two of them hadn't cooperated well, they would have been stabbed by Lu Bu's halberd long ago.

Yuan Shao was shocked. He had heard that Lu Bu was a strong general of the Xiliang Army. He never imagined that his martial arts would be so powerful. He would not be at a disadvantage in a single battle with two generals of the Jizhou Army. Judging from the situation on the field, Yan Liangwen and Chou teamed up to be slightly inferior. In front of the princes, what Haikou boasted, "If Yan Liang, Wen Chou is here, the Xiliang army will not be afraid." His face was a little red.

In the end, Yan Liangwen's strength was exhausted and he was defeated. Lu Bu stood proudly in front of the two armies and shouted loudly: "The Jizhou army dares to fight!"

After the battle just now, the fighting heart of the general of the Jizhou army was well covered up. Facing such a murderous figure, no one would joke about his own life. What Wu Wuer, this time, They are willing to fight for the second place, and they are not willing to fight for the first place in the hands of Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao looked embarrassed, his generals had no fighting spirit, but looking at the Xiliang army, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Xu You took the opportunity to say: "My lord, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, he is nothing more than a man. He can be captured in a single battle, and there are many generals in the Xiliang army, so there is nothing to worry about. Our army has 10 elite troops, why be afraid of only [-] soldiers?" Xiliang army too."

Yuan Shao felt a little more at ease when he thought of his own troops. Yes, he has 20 soldiers, and Jizhou has [-] soldiers. Looking at the whole world, if he can have [-] soldiers, how many can he have? Have enough confidence to repel the [-] Xiliang army.

After the battle, the two sides chose their own men and horses to fight for a while, and retreated to the camp with each other's casualties.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Tian Feng persuaded: "My lord, in the past, more than 1 allied troops came to Hangu Pass, but they couldn't advance an inch. Now Jia Rong leads the troops to march, and they will occupy Bingzhou in March. Zhou is at the right time, you can't confront it, you have to avoid it. At the beginning, our army formed an alliance with the Xiliang army. Why didn't we use this to persuade the Xiliang army to retreat? Besides, there are more than [-] soldiers in Weilan in Dai County. "

Yuan Shao frowned. Although Tian Feng's words were harsh, what he said was true. At the beginning, more than 30 people could not compete with the Xiliang Army, but now there are 10 people. How can they win? Thinking of some methods of the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shao felt a little bit Frightened, he nodded slightly and said: "Yuan Hao's words are not without reason, but now the two sides have already fought."

"No, Jia Rong is the general, and the lord is Jizhou Mu. The soldiers of the two sides compete with each other. Jia Rong will not care about it, otherwise there will be an identity. After repeated battles, Jia Rong's soldiers are exhausted. It is expected that he has no enterprising heart, but He wants to regain the former ruling land of Daijun, but if Jia Rong is like this, the lord can reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Daijun is under the rule of Yan Rou, and Jia Rong won it. How can he have no complaints in his heart, and Wei Lan will not be willing to hand over Daijun Give up, and when the two sides have a big battle, it will be Jizhou who will benefit." Tian Feng said.

All the counselors in the big tent nodded in agreement, but Xu You looked at Tian Feng with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. At the beginning, Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao to kill Yan Liang, which meant that he offended Yan Liang. There was no support from the generals behind him. The image in Yuan Shao's heart Not too good either, Xu You asked himself what Yuan Shao valued most was himself.

"I don't know if Yuan Hao has a plan?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked in surprise.

"Master Ju can be sent as an envoy to the Xiliang Army, and everyone will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of it." Tian Feng said slowly.

"Well, without further ado, order Guangping to meet Jia Rong in the Xiliang army immediately," Yuan Shao said.

When Jushou came to the Xiliang Army, he did not receive the courtesy he deserved, but was brutally taken by the soldiers to an uninhabited tent. Tea and food were provided every day. Jia Rong did not show up for a long time, but Jushou was able to hold his breath. Sitting in the camp tent, drinking tea, reading the books of sages and sages, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

It has been more than ten days since the two sides confronted each other. The cavalry of the Xiliang Army began to dispatch and spread all over the battlefield. The slightest disturbance of the Jizhou Army could not be hidden from Jia Rong's eyeliner. , The daily consumption of grain and grass is countless, and there must be an endless stream of grain transport trucks. If caught off guard, the grain and grass from Jizhou will definitely suffer disaster.

The cavalry of the Xiliang army, Yuan Shao was not sure of victory, so he could only tighten the camp, and rarely sent scouts in the army. At this time, Yuan Shao was blind and deaf in Jia Rong's eyes. He had to send heavy troops to transport food and grass. At the same time, under the advice of the counselors, the Jizhou cavalry also began to go to the battlefield. Retreat immediately.

The princes of the Central Plains lacked cavalry. Although Jia Rong occupied the vast grassland and owned a large number of war horses and sold them to the Central Plains, the horses were expensive and not easy to raise. The number of cavalry in the princes was generally not too many.

Tian Feng saw the current situation of the Jizhou Army, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he walked towards the Central Army where Yuan Shao was. He wanted to persuade Yuan Shao to retreat. Today's Daijun is a tasteless one, so it would be a pity to abandon it. Taking Dai Commandery, Jizhou would have to pay a very high price, and after discarding it, Jia Rong was simply cheaper. With Yuan Shao's indecisive character, it was difficult to make a decision.

"My lord, the cavalry of the Xiliang army are all over the battlefield, and our army's food and grass will be difficult to reach. Why don't you take this opportunity to withdraw and return to Guangyang County, relying on the strong city, and compete with the Xiliang army, and fly to our army's place in the field Long, although the Xiliang army is small in number, they are all elite."

Yuan Shao was a little moved when he heard these words.

"What do you mean by Mr. Tian's words? Could it be that my Jizhou army is inferior to the Xiliang army? I am still scared by their cavalry. Don't forget that on the Youzhou battlefield, the white horse was comparable to the elite cavalry of the Xiliang army. Even if Yicong is defeated by our army, and our army is supported by Shanggu County and Guangyang County, even if the Xiliang Army has 10 people, it will be difficult to capture, and it will lose troops and generals." Xu You said, he couldn't see Tian Feng The position in front of Yuan Shao is so high, as long as he is a counselor who threatens him, he must not be soft. He has always claimed to be the number one counselor of the Jizhou Army, not to mention that the Jizhou Army is in a good situation and is stabilizing the Xiliang Army.

"What do Yuan Hao's words mean?"

"My lord, Mr. Tian once advised the lord in his tent to let Mr. Ju go on an envoy to the Xiliang Army, but he has not returned yet. Tian Feng's heart is unpredictable." Xu You said in a dark tone.

Tian Feng was furious, pointed at Xu You's nose and cursed: "You villain who only knows how to provoke right and wrong, do you really have the heart to see tens of thousands of Jizhou troops defeated?"

Originally, Yuan Shao still had his heart for Tian Feng, but after hearing this sentence, his expression immediately turned down. What is meant by the defeat of tens of thousands of Jizhou troops?

"Well, Tian Feng, what do you mean?" Yuan Shao's tone was a little angry, and he didn't call Tian Feng by his name, but called him by his first name.

Seeing Yuan Shao's complexion changed slightly and his tone angry, Xu You was overjoyed, and followed Tian Feng's words and said, "Master Tian, ​​I don't mean that. Although the Xiliang Army is strong, our army is not weak either. Why should we be afraid?" If all of them are like adults, fearful before the battle, there is no need to fight this battle, just surrender."

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Don't quarrel, invite the Xiliang army to fight in the future, and let him meet my son from Jizhou!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's determination, Tian Feng bowed his hands and left, while Xu You looked joyful, overwhelming Tian Feng in front of Yuan Shao, which made him feel extremely comfortable.

Jushou sent an envoy to the Xiliang Army, Tian Feng was indeed a loser in hindsight, Jia Rong's reputation in front of the world was not very good, and he didn't care about poaching one more talent. Being able to serve as an envoy, Tian Feng secretly sighed in his heart: "Perhaps it will be better in the Xiliang Army." Tian Feng and Jushou are people with great talents. When they joined Yuan Shao, they saw his family background. Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao treats people politely, such a character is worth relying on, but he did not expect it to become the current situation.

When Yuan Shao invites the battle, Jia Rong can't wait for it. For generals, there are Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong on his side. Fighting soldiers, whether it is infantry or cavalry, the Jizhou army is no match. Although the opponent has tens of thousands, the Xiliang army has only 1 people. But he didn't care at all. The battle was not only about the large number of people, but also the elite level and morale of the soldiers.

Yuan Shao didn't determine the types of troops, but only the number of people. The Jizhou army sent 5000 soldiers. In order to show the strength of the Xiliang army, Jia Rong only sent 4000 soldiers. The commander was Gao Shun.

Commanding 4000 troops at one time was a challenge for Gao Shun. Since he released Emperor Han at Hangu Pass that day, Gao Shun was gradually buried in the army and could not be reused. Appearing in front of Jia Rong, sending Gao Shun to fight in this confrontation between the two armies was beyond the expectations of all the soldiers.

The 800 infantry under Gao Shun's command are not inferior to the trapped camp. When Gao Shun and Li Shun guarded the Hangu Pass, Li Shun highly respected Gao Shun. The soldiers on both sides competed with each other. There are degrees in training soldiers.
