The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 Fierce battle against Changli [-]
Changli City was originally the seat of the Liaodong vassal state, but now things have changed.However, after Huo Yu took over, Changli's city defense has been restored to its original state.After the Dark Feather Guard found out that Wuhuanqiao King Su Puyan was going to attack here, Liang Xi was sent here by Xun You to defend.

For Liang Xi, this is a good opportunity to prove himself.In fact, Huang Zhong came to defend this place, but in the end Xun You sent himself here for unknown reasons.However, this General Huang Liang Xi has seen it a few times, especially the superb arrow technique is amazing.

Although the [-] recruits led this time have completed their training, they have never been on the battlefield. Fortunately, most of the current grassroots generals of the Liaodong Army are veterans who followed Huo Yu from Chen Guo. Therefore, Liang Xi, a native of Chen Guo, Naturally, he soon became one with a group of big bosses.

It has been three days since I arrived in Changli, and the soldiers have already finished their rest and entered the state of battle. Liang Xi did the same, patrolling the city defense regardless of the day, fearing that something might go wrong.

"Report! The scouts are here to report, the Wuhuan army is still thirty miles away from the north gate of Changli!" A scout rode his horse to report.

"Explore again!"

Hearing the arrival of the Wuhuan army, Liang Xi immediately stopped his patrol and rushed to the north gate.Just as they climbed to the top of the north gate, another scout came to report that the Shenji Battalion entered from the south gate.

God machine camp?Isn't this one of General Huang's men?Countless question marks immediately appeared in my mind.

"Report! General Pei and the Xuanwu Battalion are entering the city through the east gate!"

Xuanwu Camp?Isn't Xuanwu Camp in Xuantu County?Liang Xi was even more strange now.But there are not too many soldiers, as the saying goes, the more soldiers Han Xinxin has, the better!
"Huang Xu, the captain of Shenji Camp, the last general, sees Mr. Liang!" Liang Xi, who was in deep thought, was awakened by Huang Xu's words.

"But the son of General Huang Zhong?" Liang Xi still knew about Huang Xu.He was born weak and sick, but his condition improved after meeting the lord. He is about the same age as Liao Hua, and he is often taught by Huo Yu's words and deeds.It's just that Huang Xu doesn't have many opportunities to show up, and he doesn't often appear with Huang Zhong, so except for a few people, they know little about him.

"Exactly, Xu was ordered to come for reinforcements!"

"My lord has returned to Liaodong?"

Huang Xu shook his head and said that he didn't know, but he led his troops to come after receiving the general.In fact, the Shenji Battalion led by Huang Xu is not the Shenji Battalion that Huang Zhong trained on a daily basis. Although the two have the same name, there is still a big difference.Because the Shenji Battalion led by Huang Xu was equipped with Liannu manufactured by the Artisan Workshop according to Huo Yu's drawings.This crossbow can shoot ten arrows in a row. Although the range is a bit short, the density of its coverage is astonishingly high.

"Pei Yuanshao sees Mr. Liang!" Soon after, Pei Yuanshao rushed over.

"With the help of General Pei, Changli City will be worry-free!" Liang Xi said with a smile.

"Hey, my old Pei is a rough man. When it comes to defending the Xuanwu Battalion, he dares to be number two. No one in the Liaodong Army dares to be number one."

The three of them chatted happily like this. At first, Liang Xi was worried that his qualifications would not be enough to command the two of them, but through the conversation just now, his worries had long since dissipated.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" a low-pitched horn sounded in the distance, and gradually black dots appeared on the horizon, and the army of the Wuhuan people appeared.But at this moment, the entire city of Changli was already on standby, and all the people outside the city were evacuated into the city.

"General Pei, Captain Huang, my lord always says that a good outline should be used wisely, you two should hide your strength first, and give the Wuhuan people a surprise!"

"Promise." Pei Yuanshao and Huang Xuqi agreed without any delay.

Looking at the increasingly clear Wuhuan army, many recruits on the walls felt a little bit worried, after all, this was their first battle in their lives.With the encouragement and shouts of generals and schools at all levels, the recruits gradually calmed down.The morale of the army is available, and these changes are seen in Liang Xi's eyes, giving him enough confidence to win this battle.

On the vast land in western Liaoning, a group of cavalry was advancing at high speed, and Huo Yu already knew the ins and outs of the matter at this moment.All the news about Wuhuan's invasion of Liaodong was suppressed by Xun You. He didn't want to distract Huo Yu from countering the rebellion. Besides, he also believed in Liang Xi and had the ability to defend Changli.

Coincidentally, Pei Yuanshao was originally transferred to Yangle, the prefecture of Liaoxi, and happened to encounter the Wuhuan invasion on the way, and was mistaken by the guards for reinforcements.For Pei Yuanshao, since he met him, he had to do his duty.As for who Huang Xu was ordered to come here, he kept silent, and it was inconvenient for Liang Xi to ask more.

Wuhuan's army marched to the city in mighty force, running back and forth aggressively as if showing off their might.However, the Wuhuan people always controlled within [-] paces, so that the Han army's archers could not hurt them, but today they made a big mistake.A Wuhuan man with the appearance of a messenger appeared three hundred paces away, shouting something to the defenders of Changli City.

Although he didn't understand, Liang Xi could guess that he was trying to persuade him to surrender.The next moment, I saw Huang Xu holding a big bow, slowly pulling the full string, and after a little adjustment, the arrow shot out.The arrow shot out suddenly with the sound of piercing through the air, and the unsuspecting Wuhuan envoy was killed by the arrow, and the Han army on the top of the city immediately burst into cheers.

Liang Xi also praised with a smile: "Father Tiger has no sons, Captain Huang is a godly arrow!"

"My lord's praise, whoever insults the lord will die!"

Under the city, the Wuhuan cavalry carefully carried away the corpse. No one could have imagined the power of this arrow, especially Su Puyan. Of.But at this moment Su Puyan was secretly rejoicing in his heart, fortunately he had controlled his impulsive emotions just now, otherwise he would have died this time.

In desperation, Su Puyan ordered the whole army to retreat and set up camp, and then attacked the city one day after the correction.There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next day, Su Puyan ordered the whole army to assemble and prepare to attack the city.The Wuhuan people's siege ability is similar to that of the Xianbei people. They can only make simple ladders, and they are also used to the height of the Han army's city walls, so they launched a general attack without testing.

"Fire the arrows!" When the Wuhuan people entered the range of the Han army's archers, Liang Xi gave an order, and countless arrows rained into the sky, and quickly flew into the crowd of Wuhuan people.From time to time, people who were hit by arrows fell to the ground and howled. After the rain of arrows, the gaps in the siege formation were quickly filled, as if nothing had happened.The archers of the Han army shot rhythmically, and the Wuhuan people were not to be outdone. Those who did not participate in the siege took out their bows and arrows to shoot at the Han army.

There were casualties between the two sides, but when the Wuhuan people excitedly leaned the ladder against the city wall, they realized that their ladder was actually a bit short.In fact, it is not the case. Huo Yu raised the height uniformly when he ordered the repair of the city defense, so the Wuhuan people will inevitably have problems if they follow the height of the city wall in the past.
