Xiliang Iron Cavalry

After receiving the news from Baishuiguan, Yang Huai, the guard of Jiameng Gate, immediately began to prepare. He was shocked by the speed of the Xiliang army's advance. It was not good for defending the city, and then he made an excuse, but this excuse was too ridiculous. As a general in Yizhou, Yang Huai had a lot of experience on the battlefield, and he had never seen that kind of weapon.

"General, General Wu Ban is a general in the army. He definitely won't talk nonsense. He has to guard against it. After Jiameng Pass, the Xiliang Army will be able to attack Guanghan, and then attack Zitong. If this is the case, Yizhou will be in danger. Now the King of Hanzhong He has just come to power, and his foothold is not stable, and the people of the Yizhou family are fluctuating, maybe someone secretly wants to show favor to the Xiliang army, in order to stabilize." Ling Bao said.

Jiameng Pass is an important pass in Yizhou, with 5000 troops stationed there. The food and grass in the pass is enough for the soldiers to supply for three months. The rear is the base camp. You don’t have to worry about food and grass. As long as you keep the Xiliang Army outside Jiameng Pass, Yizhou is not in any danger.

"General Ling's words are reasonable, and I will leave this matter to you." Yang Huai said lightly.

Ling Bao bowed her hands to promise, and then left in a hurry. The military situation is urgent, and only by making complete preparations can the enemy be blocked from Jiameng Pass.

Ling Bao's method is very simple. Since the Xiliang army has weapons that can directly open the closed gate, I will seal the city gate firmly and prevent you from entering. This has the effect of defending against the enemy.

When Wu Ban and dozens of soldiers felt that Jiameng was closed, Yang Huai, after careful questioning, opened the closed door with great effort, and welcomed Wu Ban into the closed gate.

Yang Huailingbao was very surprised when she said that the incident at Baishuiguan that day, the messenger may have exaggerated, but Wu Ban's appearance of swearing, does not seem to be false, it is very likely that the Xiliang Army has this kind of weapon.

"General Wu has worked hard, go down and rest." Yang Huai said.

Although Wu Ban was the guard of Baishuiguan, he was defeated at this time, so he could only stay in the pass and wait for the orders of the high-level officials in Yizhou. Whether he lived or died was also a matter of the above sentence.

Still flaunting his strength and making a round outside the pass, Hua Xiong stationed his troops in an orderly manner. He spent a lot of soldiers in successive battles, and the morale of the Xiliang army reached the highest peak. How majestic Baishuiguan is, isn't it still a battle? Next, the Jiameng Pass in front of him is naturally no problem. When the army arrives, the city gate will immediately be reduced to fly ash, and the credit will be at your fingertips.

"General, why didn't General Guo give you that kind of weapon directly? Maybe 1000 people can open the gate and occupy Jiameng Pass." Li Meng asked puzzled.

"What do you know, kid? There are more than 5000 defenders in Jiameng Pass. Even if 1000 of us open the gate, it will be difficult to capture it. What's more, the management of such weapons is extremely strict. If they are accidentally obtained by the enemy, the Holy Majesty will punish them Come down, can you and I take up this responsibility?" Hua Xiong scolded, "Wu Ban also fled back to Jiameng Pass, the pass must be prepared."

Li Mengnuo said yes, with Hua Xiong's tone, there must be some pimples in his heart, but he hit the point, and Hua Xiong took the opportunity to reprimand him.

"Okay, pay close attention to the movement of the defenders in the pass, and report to me at any time if there is any situation." Hua Xiong dropped a sentence, walked to the tent that had just been set up, and went to rest.

There are only 1000 people outside the pass, which made Yang Huai think carefully. If the 1000-man vanguard can be defeated, the morale in the pass will definitely rise. After losing Hanzhong and Baishui Pass one after another, the defenders in the pass must have some confidence. For so many years, Yizhou has been very stable, and there has been basically no war. Although the soldiers train very hard on weekdays, after all, they have never experienced war and lack real elite soldiers.

"General Ling, the Xiliang army has only 1000 people, but they dare to show off their power outside the city openly, and don't take our army in their eyes. Why not take advantage of their unstable foothold and go out of the city to sneak attack." Yang Huai said.

"The general's words are very true. The humble officer has this intention, but there are more than 100 cavalry outside the pass. It is rumored that the cavalry of the Xiliang Army is extremely elite. We must make adequate preparations." Ling Bao said.

"Well, pick two thousand soldiers and prepare to go out at midnight. Don't let the wind leak." Yang Huai is a decisive person, but when he has made up his mind, he will immediately start to do it.

"Promise." Excitement flashed in Ling Bao's eyes, and he launched a sneak attack on the world-famous Xiliang Army. After success, Ling Bao's reputation in Yizhou will definitely increase.

In the middle of the night, Ling Bao led two thousand soldiers, opened the door, and attacked the Xiliang army.

Looking at the Xiliang army rushing around in a hurry, Ling Bao's face showed a touch of color, and he waved the spear in his hand, "Kill!" He seemed to have seen a huge contribution beckoning to him.

Just a moment after two thousand soldiers entered the camp, they encountered the cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Hua Xiong was angry and brandished a sword and entered the Yizhou Army. , the defense also seems a little insufficient.

General Li Meng's flag was erected, and the soldiers moved closer to Hua Xiong's direction, showing the quality of elite soldiers. The soldiers were not disarmed when they were resting, and their weapons were at hand. They were ready to deal with emergencies on the battlefield at any time. They were all standing troops. Why? The standing army is ready to fight at any time. Once an emergency occurs, it will quickly complete the assembly and meet the enemy.

At this moment, Ling Bao was full of fighting spirit. She didn't pay attention to the situation of the Xiliang Army, and kept urging the soldiers to come forward. In his opinion, the Yizhou Army had gained a complete advantage. Under the surprise attack, the Xiliang Army must be in chaos. One piece, taking the opportunity to charge for a while, is enough to defeat the camp of the Xiliang Army, and the meritorious deeds will be tonight.

In anger, Hua Xiong led a hundred cavalry on a rampage, and the Yizhou army who was going to attack was retreating steadily. Everyone was in danger. When they saw the cavalry coming, they all dodged left and right, trying to avoid the deadly bend in the hands of the cavalry. knife.

The cavalry temporarily blocked the Yizhou Army's pace. Li Meng gathered the soldiers together and followed the cavalry to pick up the bargain. The equipment was well equipped and their quality far surpassed that of the Yizhou Army. The advantage that the Yizhou Army finally had was instantly wiped out. .

Seeing the cavalry of the Xiliang Army with my own eyes is very different from what I heard. If you don’t fight against such an army, you will never understand their horror. Looking at the flustered soldiers of your own, Ling Bao suddenly understands why Xiliang The military has such a resounding reputation, it is all due to hard work with one knife and one gun. There is no water, and the ability to win repeated battles on the battlefield is not based on luck, but on real strength.

"What is an elite soldier?" Such a question suddenly flashed in Ling Bao's mind, the Xiliang army in front of him is worthy of being called an elite soldier.

Under the impact of the cavalry, the infantry quickly killed the front of the Yizhou Army and fled around.

"Withdraw!" Ling Bao left two hundred soldiers to resist the Xiliang army, and retreated unwillingly, he suddenly felt how terrifying the Xiliang army was.

After listening to Ling Bao's narration of the whole situation of the sneak attack, Yang Huai's face became serious, and he quietly put away his previous disdain for the Xiliang Army, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to clear Wu Ban over.

Wu Ban had fought against the Xiliang Army, so he understood some specifics of the Xiliang Army. Before, because Wu Ban was a defeated general, he didn't pay enough attention to it.

"General Yang, to be honest, the Xiliang army only attacked the city for more than half an hour that day, and the city gate was occupied, and then the Xiliang army rushed in..." Wu Ban showed embarrassment.

"General Wu doesn't need to blame himself. The Xiliang Army is famous all over the world. The soldiers' weapons and siege equipment are even better in the world. Winning or losing is a matter of routine for military strategists," Yang Huai persuaded.

Wu Ban glanced at Yang Huai in surprise, when he came to Jiameng Pass, Yang Huai and Ling Bao didn't look like this, wishing to kick him as far away as possible.

"General Yang? Could it be that the Xiliang Army has come to reinforce them?" Wu Ban asked.

"No, General Wu. At midnight, General Ling led two thousand soldiers out of the city to attack the Xiliang Army. They took advantage of their unsteady footing and defeated them. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by the Xiliang Army and lost nearly Four hundred soldiers." Yang Huai sighed.

"There is such a thing?" Wu Ban showed an unbelievable expression. Yang Huai is a well-known general in the Yizhou Army. He must have made complete preparations for the surprise attack on the Xiliang Army. Instead of being defeated, the Xiliang Army was defeated. Disadvantage, what an army this is.

"Could it be that the Xiliang army has made preparations in advance?"

"It's not like, General Ling, you tell General Wu about the battle in detail."

Afterwards, Ling Bao explained carefully before and after the surprise attack on Hua Xiong, and the three generals in the camp looked at each other.

Although the sneak attack last night successfully recovered the disadvantage, there were still nearly [-] soldiers killed and injured, which made Hua Xiong's face very gloomy, and he wished to lead the troops to attack the city immediately. Hua Xiong was slapped hard in front of everyone.

"All the soldiers raised their spirits and waited for the arrival of reinforcements." Hua Xiong said through gritted teeth.

Li Meng bowed and promised, when Hua Xiong got angry, the soldiers in the army would definitely be unlucky, this guy didn't care so much when he did things, no, he even punished the soldiers for running around at Jiameng Pass, it was seen in the city The defenders were dumbfounded.

After Zhuge Liang read the information in his hand three times over and over again, he gently placed it on the table.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Zhang Fei said, from the time he left the army to now, Zhuge Liang always looked like he was holding his wisdom pearls.

"Yide see for himself." Zhuge Liang said.

"The Xiliang army captured Baishui Pass?" Zhang Fei said in disbelief after seeing it.

"En." Zhuge Liang nodded slowly.

"Sir, what happened in Hanzhong?" Zhang Fei said.

"The affairs of Hanzhong should not be rushed for a while. That Zhang Lu didn't know the current affairs, but instead joined the Xiliang army. The people in Hanzhong must be at peace. Don't underestimate Zhang Lu's ability. Why did Liu Yan not attack Hanzhong when he was there? It is all because of Zhang Lu's status as the leader of the sect that he has great prestige in Yizhou, and there are countless believers. Attacking Hanzhong is afraid that it will cause turmoil. After so many years, he has been standing still. Otherwise, with Liu Yan's strength, it would be three Hanzhong has also been attacked." Zhuge Liang said.
