When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 267: Warm wine and capture Dong Min (4k)

The battle robe was rustling in the wind, and the hot wind rushed into Hua Xiong's chest. He felt that all his fighting spirit was ignited at this moment.

What qualities should a general possess?
Four words.

Dare to fight and fight hard.

It is precisely because he dares to fight and is good at seizing every opportunity that he has a place among the generals under Dong Zhuo, although he is ranked at the bottom.
But today is the day to become famous!
It is well known that cavalry is the most important branch of the army in the Han Dynasty, and it can often determine the direction of one or even multiple battles. A strong army does not necessarily need strong cavalry, but an army with strong cavalry is strong enough.

To evaluate whether a cavalry is strong, many factors are often considered, such as the number of cavalry, whether they are armored, the quality of their horses, and the command of their generals.
Putting aside the generals, Dong Zhuo's army had experienced the bloody battles in Bingzhou and participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and had access to high-quality horses from both the Xiongnu and Qiang Hu sources.

He already possesses the potential to become one of the best cavalrymen in the world.

Not to mention the large number of armors in the Luoyang treasury, which almost dazzled Hua Xiong's eyes. Almost everyone of the 5,000 people who originally followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang had their own armor.

If he had 5,000 elite cavalry armed to the teeth, he would not be afraid at all, let alone Liu Xuande, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces!
It's a pity that I can only think about it.

However, General Dong Min, as the younger brother of Prime Minister Dong, has many veteran soldiers under his command, numbering as many as thousands!

Dong Min kept some of them as guards, and handed over the rest of the veterans to Hua Xiong.

This is also the reason why Hua Xiong dared to recommend himself to Dong Min.

With three thousand troops consisting of veteran soldiers and Luoyang cavalry, and him sitting in the army, giving orders, he could tear the enemy to pieces without having to lead the troops himself!

can win!

The thought flashed through his mind for only a moment, and the tall horse under him galloped like the wind. In just a few breaths, Hua Xiong saw the fluttering flags of the enemy army.

He raised his head and squinted his eyes, and saw a figure wearing armor and riding a white horse.

This man was particularly bold. He actually led the charge, leading more than 3,000 cavalrymen to continuously attack Dong's army. When he arrived at the battlefield, he actually tore a gap in Dong's army, and then he actually let his soldiers fight with Dong's soldiers.

not good.

Our army is already in retreat!

Hua Xiong was secretly shocked and clicked his tongue slightly, but he quickly calmed down. Even he could see that even if the White Horse General was not Liu Xuande, he was still an important figure in the enemy army. Otherwise, why were the morale of the enemy soldiers following the White Horse General so high?
He had only seen this kind of situation in one person, and that was Xu Rong, the top general under Prime Minister Dong!
Not

Definitely not as good as General Xu.

Hua Xiong shook his head and glanced at the cavalry around him. The sunlight reflected on the iron armor made him feel at ease.

can win!

He pulled the reins tight and shouted at the top of his voice.

"brothers!"

"The one riding the white horse is the enemy leader!"

"I don't think it's anything more than that!"

"It should be an ordinary person!"

"Follow my command"

"Go straight to the white horse!"

"Capture this man alive!"

"A reward of one hundred gold!"

The eyes of Dong Jun's elite cavalrymen were all shining with brilliance. The horses seemed to be restless after hearing what they heard. They let out long breaths and rubbed their hands ready to fight.

Under the command of Hua Xiong, Dong's elite cavalry formed a wedge formation, with the most elite and best-equipped old cavalry leading the way, and the Luoyang cavalry following closely behind. The advantage of their cavalry was their strong penetrating power.

Hua Xiong has used this trick several times, and it always works!

Liu Xuande!
Just sit back and wait for death!
Haha!

Hua Xiong looked at the man riding the white horse, as if he saw victory in sight!

"Sir, the enemy cavalry is attacking!"

Huo Du, who was following Liu Bei, discovered the attacking Hua Xiong army. He sighed inwardly and thought it was not good. The enemy army was the strongest he had ever seen.

But no one, whether Liu Bei or his other comrades, showed any fear.

They looked composed, like old Taoist priests in meditation.

If it were a few years ago, he would have probably been trembling with fear, right?
Huo Du looked towards Liu Bei, and the remaining panic in his heart went away with the wind. In every battle, as long as he could see Liu Bei's figure, it was like seeing a long lantern hanging high in the dark night. All the fear would be dispelled, and there was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

"No problem, no hindrance"

Liu Bei gripped the reins tightly. He didn't know who the enemy general was yet, but judging from the formation they had set up, he could be considered experienced.

But this wedge array
From the front it looks extremely powerful, and its strong mobility brings a terrifying impact force. What's more, those at the front of the formation are all armored cavalry. It cannot be said that arrows and bows and crossbows are useless, but they have very little effect. Even if he leads the current cavalry, if he charges head-on, they will undoubtedly be crushed.

but.
Liu Bei was very familiar with this thing. In Liangzhou and the Western Regions, he had encountered all kinds of cavalry and had seen a wide variety of tactics.

Faced with this approach of Dong Jun's cavalry, the answer naturally came to Liu Bei's mind.

"Flanking!"

Liu Bei calmly issued military orders. Since they were attacking lightly, Liu Bei's cavalry already had the advantage of speed. Moreover, after years of working together, the knights had already reached a tacit understanding with Liu Bei that was beyond others' imagination.

Often with just one gesture or one look, the knights knew Liu Bei's intention.

So in Hua Xiong's eyes, Liu Bei on the white horse just raised his hand and waved at them, and the entire army automatically split into two groups and attacked towards the two flanks.

His heart trembled and he cried out in pain.
Based on past experience, this raid should be successful.

Why so fast?

What frightened Hua Xiong even more was that due to the burden of armor and the lack of command, they were completely unable to keep up with Liu Bei's pace.

He looked to the side and saw an unbelievable scene.

The general riding the white horse was staring at him!
Liu Bei's face turned slightly cold. He clenched his lance and looked around, trying to find the general who commanded Dong's cavalry. In just a few breaths, he found his target. There was a strong and muscular northern man in the central army. There were armored cavalrymen gathered around him, and this man's armor was heavier than the people next to him.

"Follow my command, comrades, charge with me!"

The moment he found the target, Liu Bei issued a military order. He took the lead, with the cavalry following closely behind him.

The Luoyang cavalry, which had suffered the Luoyang Rebellion, were not elite to begin with. Seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse and turning unfavorable, they were already panicked and stabbed with their lances in a disorderly manner.

On the other hand, although Liu Bei's cavalry was not the one that quelled the rebellion in Liangzhou, most of them were recruited from Jingzhou. However, after several years of running-in, training in quelling rebellions, and instruction from the veteran soldiers of Liangzhou, they had already become elite cavalry.

Not to mention, Liu Bei was charging ahead and the morale of the troops was at an incredible level.

With one side gaining strength while the other side losing strength, how could the Luoyang cavalry be a match for them? !

Under the charge of the Jingzhou cavalry, the Luoyang cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

Hua Xiong felt a chill in his heart. Oh no, he was going to lose.

He knew very well that if he didn't make a decision, he would be completely doomed!
He gritted his teeth and shouted

"Quick, quick, change the formation!"

The decline in morale was beyond Hua Xiong's imagination. His military orders fell on deaf ears. The Luoyang cavalry had long been frightened and had no intention of paying attention to Hua Xiong. In this situation, only the old cavalry could respond. Unfortunately, most of the old cavalry were in the front army. Even if they wanted to respond, they were unable to do so.

"Damn it!"

Hua Xiong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Where was the method to defeat the enemy now? ? !

"!"

Suddenly, Hua Xiong had an idea and seemed to have thought of something.

Hakuba
Yes, General White Horse!

If he kills the White Horse General
Wouldn't the danger be resolved naturally, and could the situation of the war be reversed? !
Yes, yes, yes, that’s it, that’s it!
General Dong, I am going to break my promise.

Hua Xiong looked at Liu Bei, his eyes lit up with a strong fighting spirit. He licked his chapped lips with his tongue, and clenched his horse spear with his backhand. He thought, if he could achieve such a state, even if he was not Liu Xuande, he must be a famous general under Liu Xuande, right?

Let me learn from your tricks!
"Brothers, follow me!"

Hua Xiong shouted angrily, and his old cavalrymen rode up with spears in hand.

"Well done!"

Liu Bei was not afraid at all. He drew his saber, and the cavalrymen following him instantly understood his intention.

The next moment, the cavalrymen imitated Liu Bei's actions, bending down with their faces close to the horse's back, dangerously avoiding the lances of Dong Jun's old cavalry. At the moment, they stood up decisively, holding their sabers, with veins throbbing in their palms!

"brush--"

Liu Bei took the lead and swung a sharp knife at the neck of Dong Jun’s cavalry. The knife light was sharp, fast, accurate and ruthless!
The cavalrymen of Dong's army saw a flash of sword, felt a pain in their necks, blood spurted out, and their strength was drained away in an instant. They fell to the ground, and before they lost consciousness, they saw the back of the White Horse General.
"How is it possible?!" Hua Xiong and the remaining cavalrymen felt their scalps tingling when they saw Liu Bei's operation. He could conclude that this person must be Liu Xuande, but the question was why most of the cavalrymen behind Liu Xuande could do such an incredible move? !
Why does he feel like a master of swordsmanship? !
And there’s more than one!
Even if Hua Xiong racked his brains, he could not have imagined that the sword techniques improved by Wang Yue were almost compulsory courses in Liu Bei's army, and only the best of the best could become Liu Bei's personal guards.

But there was no time to think about Hua Xiong.

The cavalrymen guarding beside him fell off their horses one after another. The lucky ones were able to stab the Jingzhou cavalry to death with their horse lances when they failed to dodge. However, they were soon killed by other Jingzhou cavalrymen.

Those who were unlucky were killed on the spot.

"Come on, charge! Whoever kills Liu Xuande will be recommended as a captain!!! Whoever kills the traitor will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!!!"

At the critical moment, Hua Xiong thought of using high positions and generous salaries to boost the morale of the soldiers. However, this trick, which had always been successful, not only did not work at this moment, it even made the soldiers hesitate to move forward.

？ ！！

"Fuck you, why?!"

Hua Xiong had just uttered a beautiful and proper Chinese accent when he saw Liu Bei riding his horse and wielding a sword. In an instant he was in front of him. Hua Xiong was terrified and he raised his spear to block.

"clang"

The saber hit the gun handle, making a dull sound, and the blade trembled violently.

Hua Xiong's hands were also shaking. His face changed drastically. He had so much strength, but he was safe for the time being.
The next moment, Hua Xiong's pupils shrank. Liu Bei actually let go of the reins and drew out the second saber with his backhand, which was even faster than the first one!

Oops!

Can't stop it!

"Pfft"

Liu Bei gathered all his strength and killed Hua Xiong with one strike.

The sight of Hua Xiong’s dead head with his eyes open was so shocking.

Dong Jun's cavalrymen stared at the scene in a daze, their throats sliding as they swallowed mouthful of saliva.

General Hua. Dead. Dead?

They looked at Liu Bei in the sunlight, lost the courage to continue fighting, turned around and fled in all directions.

The residents of Yangcheng County standing on the city wall cheered.

"Envoy, are you okay?"

Huo Du, panting, looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei said calmly: "No problem."

He looked into the distance, "I wonder how General Huang and Yuan Zhi are doing."

Dong Min's camp.

"What did you say?!!"

Upon hearing the news of Hua Xiong's death, Dong Min stood up suddenly. He stared at the messenger in front of him, fearing that there was something wrong with his ears.

The messenger cried sadly

"General Dong and General Hua were beheaded with a single blow. We all saw it, we all saw it!"

Dong Min's face turned pale. He slipped and fell on the recliner, his breathing disordered. Even Hua Xiong, who led the elite cavalry, was defeated. The person who came must be Liu Xuande.
What to do?

What to do?

What should I do?

Dong Min heard about Liu Xuande's deeds and found that this man had a frighteningly high bottom line. Moreover, it was just as the rumors said, not only was he a good fighter, but the combat effectiveness of his subordinates was also particularly exaggerated.

If Liu Xuande knew that I was here to massacre the city.
When Dong Min thought of the consequence, he shuddered violently. He was definitely going to die.

The current plan
"escape!"

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

The messenger hurried into the tent.

His face was full of fear, and his words were full of anxiety.

"Report, General, Liu Xuande's troops have discovered our base! They are coming to attack us!"

"What?!" Dong Min's pupils shrank. Where did this come from?
He banged his fist on the table and shouted at the top of his voice
"Stop it!"

"I can't stop it! I can't stop it!!!"

Dong Min raised his voice and ordered, "Escort me away!"

"Military Advisor Xu, can you hold back the enemy cavalry?"

Shalishi, who was following behind Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and Shamoke, had a worried look on his face.

"certainly"

Whether it was Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, or Shamoke, they all had full trust in Liu Bei.

Xu Shu pointed to the tent in front.

"General Huang, the Dong army camp is ahead. Leave the defense of the city to you, but we'll have to rely on General Huang to capture the camp."

"."

Huang Zhong pursed his lips and said, "I'm still young, can you please change the name?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he thought of what he had emphasized many times before, but it was of no use. During the time he stayed in Jingzhou, not only Xu Shu, but everyone else was led astray by that bastard Ma Dai.

Forget it, forget it. I can’t ruin my lord’s plan.

"promise"

Huang Zhong clasped his fists, and led Shamoke and a group of Wuxi barbarians who were good at crossing mountains and rivers to charge into Dong Min's tent.

Huang Zhong, who was still in his prime, led the charge, holding a ring-handled sword. He did not even frown when facing the soldiers of Dong's army, and was as calm and composed as if he was chopping melons and vegetables.

This made Wuxi scream with excitement.

"General Huang is so powerful!"

Some people even said bluntly, "General Huang is much more powerful than the king!"

Shamoke: “.”

The soldiers of Dong's army were shocked and frightened, and those with weak willpower dropped their weapons one after another.

Just as Huang Zhong was advancing bravely with great momentum, he saw a general on horseback and in armor rushing out.

The general on horseback was Dong Min.

Dong Min immediately turned around and ran away.

Huang Zhong pulled out the arrow, squinted his eyes, and placed the arrowhead on the bowstring.

To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first

With a little force, the arrowhead shot out and hit the horse's leg.

The galloping horse threw Dong Min away in pain. Dong Min spat out the mud in his mouth and was about to get up, but when he looked up, he saw dense spears pointing at him.

He forced a smile at the few people.

"My dear fellows, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstood your mother!"

Xu Shu kicked Dong Min to the ground.

"Hey, Military Advisor Xu, how can you use your feet?" Huang Zhong couldn't bear it anymore.

Dong Min, whose face was horrified by the pain, thought to himself, it seems that we are safe for the time being.
Huang Zhong put the ring-handled sword into Xu Shu's hand

"use this."

Dong Min's eyes went dark and he fainted.

At this time, Gravel held the wine in his hand and shouted to everyone with joy:
"Military Advisor Xu, General Huang, Your Majesty, I found a pot of wine in the tent, and it's still warm!"

　Today I went up the mountain to worship my ancestors, and it's even later. I'm sorry, all my benefactors.

I wonder what you think of this chapter?
