Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 69: The Reinforcements Fail, Huangfusong Retreats

Sun Jian hurriedly organized soldiers to block the two cavalry that were about to charge, and led Yuan Pang to retreat to the right.

Seeing that the battle formation of the Han army was in jeopardy under the impact of the Qiang cavalry, Sun Jian was very anxious. Now his army is at a disadvantage and cannot stop the offensive of the Qiang cavalry.

Watching the soldiers in front continue to die under the Qiang horses, Sun Jian was heartbroken. He didn't expect that he would be defeated like this.

Personal bravery could never stop the defeat of the army. Under the three-sided siege of the Qiang cavalry, the Han army retreated steadily. But Sun Jian had no choice but to lead the cavalry to break out first, leaving a part of the Han army to stop the Qiang. Cavalry pace.

The Han soldiers who blocked them were also bloody men. Seeing that they could not survive, they yelled and rushed towards the Qiang cavalry. The Han army was wiped out by the Qiang cavalry in a short time, and the sacrifice of the Han army was successfully exchanged. Yuan Pang, Sun Jian and others fled.

Hearing the shouts behind him, Sun Jian shed two lines of muddy tears, and fled resolutely without turning his head. He could not let down the sacrifices of his soldiers.

Li Wenhou used his mind to calculate his innocence. Even in the dark night, the combat capability of the cavalry was beyond the reach of the infantry.

In this battle, the Han army suffered countless casualties and lost countless food, grass and weapons. Looking at the burning Han army camp, Li Wenhou's face showed a smile that belonged to the victor.

After Sun Jian gathered the soldiers, he led the remnant army to Beidi County. At the same time, he sent troops to convey the news of the defeat of his army to Huangfusong, and planned to be beheaded and executed.

Huangfusong was very angry when he received Sun Jian's fast horse transmission letter. He didn't expect Li Wenhou to be so cunning, and he was even more annoyed that Sun Jian's army lost more than 8000 soldiers. , Why did he lose like this, so thoroughly.

Beigong Boyu in Lianxian County is also a hard bone. Seeing the Han army coming to attack, he obeyed Li Wenhou's order and defended the city to the death. Not bad, the Qiang people guarded the city firmly and did not give the Han army a chance at all. The Han army could not go down after several battles, and both sides suffered losses.

Huangfusong comforted Sun Jian in the letter, asking him to help the prefect of Beidi County guard the city. At the same time, he ordered the [-] Han soldiers left behind to rush to Lian County immediately to help him attack Beigong Boyu. The capture of Lian County, in conjunction with the Xiliang Army, will also be able to drive the Qiang people out of the territory of the Han Dynasty.

A few days later, Huangfusong received another 1000 soldiers from the Han army that he stayed behind were ambushed by Qiang cavalry on the way to Lian County, losing more than [-] soldiers, and the leading general had no choice but to retreat to Beidi County.

Realizing that the situation on the battlefield was wrong, Huangfusong immediately ordered the three armies to retreat to Daobeidi County for defense. Huangfusong secretly blamed himself for not following Jia Rong's suggestion. The Qiang people had more cavalry and strong mobility. The Qiang defeated them one by one.

But it is impossible for Huangfusong to retreat, because Li Wenhou has already led the Qiang cavalry and infantry in Niyang to Lian County. The momentum was huge, and the Han army was hard to stop for a while, and retreated steadily.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, boundless, tens of thousands of Qiang cavalry charging together, the scene is extremely spectacular, if you watch from above, you will find black torrents rushing towards one direction quickly, covering the sky with dust and smoke.

Huangfusong is worthy of being a famous general of the Han Dynasty. He organized the Han army to fight and retreat. The Han army here is the most elite army of the Han Dynasty. Although the Qiang army led by Li Wenhou attacked fiercely, they did not get any benefits. Huangfusong led the army and left.

Li Wenhou asked Beigong Boyu to guard the city of Lian County, and let the defenders of Niyang County return to Niyang overnight under the leadership of his confidant generals, to prevent the cunning Han army from taking advantage of it.

Then, Li Wenhou turned his attention to the Xiliang Army in Lingzhou.

Dong Zhuo, the commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army, Li Wenhou had heard a little about, and he was well-known among the Qiang people. Li Wenhou didn't want to provoke Dong Zhuo, so he chose to defeat the Han army rushing to Niyang first, and then defeated Huangfusong.

Li Wenhou said in a voice that only he could hear: "Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, since you attack me without knowing how to praise, don't blame me for being lenient."

At the same time, the Xiliang army led by Dong Zhuo was still under the city of Lingzhou, and did not launch an attack. Dong Zhuo's force was only 6000, while there were tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers in the city. Dong Zhuo's troops were smaller than those in the city.

This also intensified Dong Zhuo's resentment towards Huangfusong. Isn't this pushing the Xiliang army into the fire pit? In the previous battle of Guangzong, Huangfusong took a great contribution for nothing. Quite dissatisfied, I didn't expect this old boy to rape himself again.

It was difficult to violate the military order, so Dong Zhuo had to station the army outside the city of Lingzhou to act as a check.

In fact, Huangfusong's purpose of sending the Xiliang Army's lone army was to let it play a diversionary role. It was Dong Zhuo's prestige in Xiliang over the years that was used to frighten Xiaoxiao in the city.

When Yuan Pang's troops were attacked by the Qiang people and the news of their defeat in Beidi County reached the Xiliang army, Dong Zhuo became more cautious. Flies can also be spotted by the Xiliang army immediately.

It was Ri, Jia Rong, who was participating in cavalry training in Jiang Yu's army, realized something was wrong after receiving the news.

According to Huangfusong's marching strategy, it is impossible to have a group of Qiang cavalry wandering on the battlefield, and this group of Qiang cavalry is an uncertain factor in determining this war, it is a variable, and it is likely to influence this war. Go, Jia Rong still can't figure it out.

Therefore, Jia Rong came to Li Cui's camp and discussed the matter with Li Cui. Naturally, the purpose was to listen to Jia Xu's opinion. Since the relationship between the two cannot be known to outsiders for the time being, every time they meet They are all very cautious, outsiders can't see anything strange at all, it seems to outsiders that Jia Rong is looking for Li Cui to discuss military affairs.

Li Cui was very happy that Jia Rong came to discuss the military affairs with him. Since he got close to Jia Rong, Hua Xiong, a fierce general who did not pay attention to anyone all day, was able to give up a few words when he saw him.

Li Cui didn't understand, so he invited Jia Xu, his only counselor, out. The situation was urgent, and Jia Xu did his part. After listening to Jia Rong's analysis, he pondered for a while and said slowly: "General Li, the cavalry on the battlefield may be Commander Li Wenhou in Lingzhou City."

Jia Xu's words made Jia Rongru enlightened, and he said to Li Cui: "It's very fortunate that the general has such counselors to help him!"

Li Cui declined a few words modestly, but the smile on his face showed his true inner thoughts.

After Jia Rong said his farewell, he hurried to Dong Zhuo's Chinese army. According to Jia Xu, if Li Wenhou was really not in Lingzhou City, it would be a big disaster. Yuan Pang's army had just been defeated, so Li Wenhou's next Could the target be the Xiliang army? Thinking of this, Jia Rong felt chills down his spine.

No wonder there are more troops in the city than our own, but they still stick to the city without seeing any movement, and let more than 1 Xiliang troops camp outside the city.

When Jia Rong hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Zhuo was discussing military affairs with Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo asked: "Zhiyuan, why are you in such a hurry? Could there be something wrong?"

Jia Rong told Jia Xu's conjecture in detail, including his own analysis.

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo said, "Zhiyuan, the military adviser has also thought of what you said, and is discussing countermeasures with me. Li Wenhou, Li Wenhou, bullied me too much, and didn't take my Xiliang army seriously, hum."

Li Ru beside Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Rong's analysis, and nodded in approval to Jia Rong. Now Li Ru completely regards Jia Rong as Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he no longer repeatedly blames him in the past. Jia Rong's analysis showed a hint of appreciation instead.

Li Ru asked: "In the previous situation, what good strategy did Zhiyuan have?" Li Ru seemed to be testing Jia Rong.

Jia Rong really didn't expect this. He came here in a hurry when he learned that Li Wenhou might not be in the city. Jia Rong thought about it for a while and said to Li Ru: "Military Master, the situation of the enemy and us is unknown now, and Li Wenhou is not in the city. Our army has a lot to do." .”

After hearing Jia Rong's words, Li Ru's eyes flashed.

Dong Zhuo asked hastily: "What good plan does Zhiyuan have, tell me quickly." He got up and came to Jia Rong's side, his small eyes showing eagerness.

"We can make a bold guess. After Li Wenhou defeats General Yuan's army, it will be General Huangfu who will attack us." Jia Rong said.

After hearing what Dong Zhuo said, he was depressed for a while. Why did Jia Rong become like a mother-in-law like Li Ru? Wouldn’t it be fine to just say what happened? However, Dong Zhuo didn’t complain at all. The stronger Jia Rong’s ability, The stronger your strength is, the more general you will be able to stand on your own, which is a good thing for yourself.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's eyes begging for help, Li Ru said, "Li Wenhou may attack General Huangfu, and they will win the battle only if they force General Huangfu back."

Jia Rong seemed to have forgotten how terrible Li Ru was, and he said politely: "Whether Li Wenhou repels General Huangfu or not, the next step is to attack our army. After defeating our army, General Huangfu will be isolated. As."

Li Ru said: "Then our army can take advantage of this good opportunity." After speaking, he looked at Jia Rong with burning eyes.

Jia Rong spit out four words slowly: "Attack Niyang!"

Dong Zhuo didn’t quite understand the conversation between the two, but Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Rong’s last sentence of attacking Ni Yang. .
