Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"Which general in the Cao army are you, report your name quickly." Ma Chao shouted at Yu Jin, who was tied up next.

Yu Jin snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said coldly: "I never thought that the world-famous Xiliang Army would do such a despicable and shameless thing."

Ma Chao kicked Yujin to the ground, feeling angry in his heart.

"Meng Qi, don't be rude." Zhao Yun stopped him.

Seeing Yu Jin, Lu Bu's face immediately turned gloomy, and when the general led his army to attack Hulao Pass, and was about to succeed, Yu Jin's sudden attack showed that when all the generals marveled at Lu Bu's bold move, they all stared at Jin with anger. Show.

"Name?" Zhao Yun stared at Yu Jin with piercing eyes.

"Hmph, this general is General Cao Jun. If you want to kill, kill him. Don't expect to get any news from me." Yu Jin said goodbye to Zhao Yun's eyes with pride. To be honest, Yu Jin also Unfortunately, he is still very young, so naturally he doesn't want to end his life so soon.

"General Lu, this is located in General Ban. It is still useful to be in the army for the time being." Zhao Yun said.

After resting in Sishui Pass for three days, Zhao Yun led 4 people towards Hulao Pass. As long as Hulao Pass is breached, Luoyang will be within the sight of the Xiliang Army, and the great territory of the Central Plains , is also waving to the Xiliang army, and Lu Bu's previous actions have exposed the Xiliang army, which is justifiable, and the big fanfare has become the current move of the Xiliang army.

It is necessary to occupy Luoyang if they want to compete in the Central Plains. Cao Jun and Xiliang Army both understand the importance of Luoyang.

Knowing the arrival of the Xiliang army, Xia Houyuan stood on the closed door and watched the movements of the Xiliang army quietly. From setting up the camp to lighting the fire and cooking at the end, the whole process was orderly, without any panic, and there was a cavalry beside him from the beginning to the end. Guardian, seemingly lazy, makes people feel vulnerable, but Xia Houyuan has never dared to go out of the city. The difference between becoming a coach and a general is that everything must be considered for the overall situation, and the overall situation cannot be ignored just because of the momentary pleasure.

The next day, Zhao Yun led an army of [-] troops to the place within a stone's throw of Hulao Pass, and with one blow of his spear, he shouted: "The guard inside the pass, come out and answer."

Xia Houyuan had already stood at the top of the city, and said loudly: "The shameless Xiliang army, disregarding the covenant, attacked the land controlled by our army, and the people of the world will definitely despise them. They will retreat quickly and let Sishui pass out."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun was noncommittal about what righteousness is. Following Jia Rong all the year round, he gradually understood that only by gaining an absolute advantage and preventing the enemy from resisting at all, at that time you said righteousness is righteousness. , and the party that loses can only become a rebellion in the history books.

"Sishui Pass is already in the hands of our army. Surrender quickly. This general will speak well for you in front of the King of Liang. Paul and others are rich and prosperous. Otherwise, the defenders in the pass will not be spared under the attack of the army." Zhao Yun said.

"No nonsense, your grandfather and I are General Xia Houyuan of the Cao Army, just come to attack the city." Xia Houyuan said loudly.

There were bursts of laughter from the pass, and the eyes of the Xiliang army outside the pass were a little playful. They have a solid checkpoint, and the Xiliang army outside the city, even if they are brave, cannot attack in a short time. The target of the archers and the target of the Thunderbolt chariot, as for the bravery of the Xiliang army, the soldiers will not care about this. , and more confident.

Seeing that the persuasion failed, Zhao Yun ordered the cavalry under his command to keep running in the pass. The rumbling momentum made the soldiers of the Cao army who had looked down upon them gradually look serious. The Xiliang army relied not only on the infantry, but also on the cavalry. Once these cavalrymen are in the field, it will be their nightmare. The infantry has a natural fear of the cavalry, even on the checkpoint. Seeing the scene of the cavalry killing them, they can't help but want to retreat.

"Don't be afraid, will the cavalry still fly up? Be careful, don't give them any chance, and block the door with huge stones." Xia Houyuan said, Luoyang is behind them, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass supplies.

The Xiliang cavalry flaunted their power, and Xia Houyuan was quite unhappy watching it. He gave an order to close the stone rain and rained down on his face. The cavalry hurriedly retreated, causing Xia Houyuan to laugh again and again.

Thunderbolt chariots were created by Cao Jun. Of course there are quite a few in Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass, but Zhao Yun is somewhat disdainful of Cao Jun’s shoddy construction. When they attack the city, this advantage is greatly weakened, and the thunderbolt chariot is also difficult to perform, and it may be broken by the opponent's weak thunderbolt chariot.

"Hulao Pass is a mighty pass outside Luoyang. Xia Houyuan has 1 horses in his hands, and it has the advantage of the pass. I'm afraid it will be difficult for our army to break through." Zhao Yun said.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "General, why should you build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Sishui Pass is also a great pass, but General Lu can break it with [-] cavalry. If you defend it for a long time, you will lose it. When the defenders in the pass make mistakes, they will be tigers. The day the prison was broken."

Seeing that Guo Jia looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, Zhao Yun was relieved a lot. In terms of resourcefulness, he was not as good as Guo Jia. Even if it was a strong attack, it would be difficult to take it within three months, but Guo Jia used a plan to fall into the hands of the Xiliang army overnight.

"The military adviser's words are very true, and I hope the military adviser can come up with a clever plan to take down the Hulao Pass as soon as possible." Zhao Yun said.

"Don't worry, general. Xia Houyuan, the guard of Hulao Pass, is a well-known wise general in Cao's army. He should not be underestimated. If my prediction is correct, the gate of the city must be sealed and our army will not be given any chance. The King of Liang will personally lead the army, and then the real decisive battle will begin." Guo Jia said: "Our army's current task is to attack the city, and to inquire about the news on the battlefield at any time, without giving the defenders in the pass time to prepare. "

Zhao Yun was silent. Given the terrain of Hulao Pass, sending soldiers forward would mean death.

"General, for the sake of overall victory, sacrifice is inevitable. Besides, the training of soldiers is not for the purpose of going to the battlefield one day. Even if it is death, it is not hesitating. As a soldier, you should have such a clear understanding. Soldiers can only improve in continuous warfare." Guo Jia persuaded.

For three consecutive days, the Xiliang Army did not attack the city. Instead, under the cover of shield soldiers, they continued to fill up and level the terrain outside Hulao Pass. Hulaoguan stands among the mountains, the terrain is extremely complicated, and it is very laborious to repair it.

Seeing the behavior of the Xiliang Army, Xia Houyuan could only keep ordering the soldiers to launch thunderbolt cars. Occasionally, a stone would hit him. Hearing the soldiers of the Xiliang Army mourning under the boulder would always arouse the soldiers' shouts.

Xia Houyuan's face was gloomy. He knew that when the terrain outside the pass was rested, it would be a fierce battle to meet Cao Jun, and it would take a while for Cao Jun's reinforcements to arrive. However, he was very confident in holding the pass. Hulao Pass is dangerous, It cannot be made up by relying on filling. Hundreds of thousands of princes of the Eighteenth Route were still blocked outside Hulao Pass.

It is true that Cao Jun has 20 troops, but the war in Qingzhou may break out at that moment. After Liu Biao of Jingzhou proclaimed himself emperor, his ambitions skyrocketed, and it is unknown to unite with Yuan Shao.

With 20 troops, how many soldiers are available, no more than the Xiliang Army. The rear is the prairie, and the land of Bingzhou and Youzhou is in the palm of your hands. related to the war.

Even if reinforcements arrive, Xia Houyuan can only have [-] soldiers and horses, which is still full of calculations.

Xia Houyuan was very confident that even [-] soldiers and horses could stop the [-] Xiliang troops outside the pass. Hulao Pass, as the barrier of Luoyang, the eastern capital, was repaired by successive emperors.

Five days later, there was no grass growing outside Hulao Pass, and the terrain became much flatter, and Jinglan could slowly approach Hulao Pass.

With the sound of war drums, teams of soldiers quickly ran towards Hulao Pass. They carried the ladders, but they walked lightly. As the first team to approach the checkpoint, they understood that the faster the speed, the more they can pass. To save lives in battle, the enemy's stones and arrows are the first to greet them.

Soldiers kept falling, and the soldiers behind quickly stepped forward, continuing the unfinished work of the fallen soldiers.

Shunguan kept throwing stones, reaping the lives of soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and the shut-down Perak chariots also began to show their ferocious faces, and kept firing stones smaller than Hulao Shun's Perak chariots.

After a short period of stagnation, the real bloody battle began. Without the cover of the thunderbolt car, the Xiliang army was completely exposed to the attack of Cao Jun. Soldiers climbing the ladder were hit by the enemy's boulders and fell down in wailing.

The ten wells slowly approached Hulao Pass.

Xia Houyuan's eyes sharpened sharply. Looking at these wells from a distance, they gave people a feeling of being indestructible. Cao Jun did not have such wells. The whole body was made of steel, and under the sun, it exuded a breathtaking light.

As soon as Jing Lang came forward, he was suppressed by the oncoming boulder. Without the thunderbolt chariots of the Xiliang Army to resist, Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariots began to show their power. What's more, the terrain outside the pass was complicated, and it was quite inconvenient for Jing Lang to move.

Zhao Yun was in the middle army with a livid face. He saw with his own eyes how the elite soldiers under his command died in battle. One can imagine the feeling in his heart. These are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, but they died helplessly under the city wall. Bouldering to death.

In one round of attack, the Xiliang army lost more than a thousand people and one Jinglan. From the beginning to the end, they didn't even attack the city wall.

Seeing that the well rails were hit by boulders and the soldiers on top kept running away, Xia Houyuan's expression softened a little. It turned out that these well rails were not made of iron, but were wrapped with a layer outside, which made people feel intimidated.
