Chapter 345: Liaodong Xu Rong
After receiving the order to send troops, the thousand-man tiger cavalry all admired the premonition of their own commander. The other troops had to spend an hour gathering and being fed, but the Thousand Tiger Cavalry was prepared early in the morning, and it only took half an hour to get it done.
"Li Anmin's son lives up to my expectations!" Cao Cao said with a satisfied smile after hearing the news.
"Remember the fish scale formation that I explained to you before?" Li Wei asked in a low voice to the five Qu Hou beside him during the march.
"Yes. The five of them didn't know why, but they answered one by one.
"Brothers, do you know the key to the formation?" Li Wei continued.
"I gave the brothers a rough change, but there was no actual drill, just talk on paper. Is the captain going to ......?" Xiahou Jun asked curiously.
"We must pass through Xingyang to pursue Dong Zhuo, and the terrain there is suitable for ambush. If we are infantry, we can deploy a defensive formation, but we are all cavalry, once we encounter an ambush, we can only have a chance of survival if we break through at full speed. Li Wei took advantage of the march to teach the five of them a lesson in the art of war.
"If you want to break through at full speed, can you use a cone formation?" Cao Liang knew that Li Wei had both a strategy, and asked the latter for advice.
"The conical formation is conducive to the pursuit of the charge, and the two wings are also joined in the charge attack, but the defense on both sides is as if it is a void, and if the two sides are attacked by arrows, there will be heavy casualties. Li Wei said, and the nearby soldiers also approached to listen to the lecture.
"The fish scale array emphasizes the layered advancement, and the two wings are also guarded by rangers, so that if the enemy attacks, it can also warn the whole army as soon as possible. Xiahou Jun thought for a while, and then combined with Li Wei's previous explanation of the fish scale array, he said.
"That's right. Li Weitou agreed with Xiahou Jun's words.
Cao Cao was in the Chinese army, and when he saw that the front army had suddenly slowed down the march a lot, he sent messengers to inquire one by one.
"Captain Li asked people to report to the lord, the terrain in Xingyang ahead is easy to be ambushed, and he has decided to slow down and has sent scouts to investigate. The herald reported back.
"Hmm...... It seems that I was so carried away by anger that I had forgotten such an important thing. You go back to Li Wei, I know, and I will send another force to answer him in the future. Cao Cao said to the herald.
"No!" the herald received the order and returned to the front army of Le Wei along the road from which he came.
"Cao Hong, you lead the ......" Cao Cao's words were interrupted by a shout before he could finish his words.
"Lord, there is a white horse cavalry in the rear, and the banner is embroidered with the words 'White Horse Yicong'!" the scout reported loudly after coming to Cao Cao's vicinity.
"Isn't that Gongsun Zhan's pro-army unit?" Cao Cao was surprised that White Horse Yicong appeared in his rear, but still let Qu Hou of that army come.
"Zhao Yun has seen Cao Fenwei!" It turned out that the Qu Hou of this White Horse Yicong was none other than Zhao Yun.
"It turned out to be Zilong, you......" Cao Cao naturally knew Zhao Yun. A few days ago, in the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Yang ignored the front army because of greed for merit, but was counterattacked by Lu Bu and almost died under the latter's Fang Tianhua halberd.
Thanks to Zhao Yun's timely rescue from Lu Bu's halberd, he fought with Lu Bu for twenty rounds, and was only able to escape after Li Wei arrived.
"My lord ordered me to come to Cao Fenwei's aid, and let me convey to you that he has the intention to pursue the national thieves, but his troops are limited, so he can only send a small number of elite servants to help. Zhao Yun hugged his fists.
"Gongsun Bogui has a heart...... It just so happened that I needed to send a force to support Li Wei, so I annoyed Zilong and Zilian to lead my troops to support. "Cao Cao is kind and authentic, after all, people are friendly support.
"Under the order!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists and received the order, and immediately returned to Bai Mayi where to convey instructions.
"Zilian, you will take the infantry and take the first step later. Although the white horse Yicong brought by Zhao Quhou was elite, they were all cavalry who were good at riding and shooting, and they needed infantry to set up a defensive ambush military formation. Cao Cao said to Cao Hong.
"I see. Cao Hong answered, and left with the 2,000 infantry of the Chinese army.
β¦β¦
Without waiting for Cao Hong and Zhao Yun's backup to respond, the thousand-man tiger cavalry led by Li Wei had been surrounded by the ambush of the Xiliang army.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush! The whole army formed a fish-scale formation and rushed through the encirclement in front at full speed!" With Li Wei's shout, Xiahou Jun and Cao Liang led two tiger cavalry to arrange the front and left and right for the first formation; Chen Guoling was the second formation, Li Wei and Feng Sanling were the third formation and guarded the two wings, and Xu Dingling led the first song for the rear army.
"Do you know which side this army belongs to?" asked the lieutenant general beside him, the commander of the Xiliang Army, who was in charge of blocking the main road.
"Look at the flag, it should be Cao Cao's thousand-man tiger horse. The lieutenant replied.
"A Thousand Tigers Ride...... Then the commander of this army should be Li Wei, who defeated Lu Bu, right? What a young hero......" The tone of the commander of the Xiliang army did not show hatred, but a trace of admiration.
"Then Nakaro will ...... Are we still following the plan of Li Ru's military division?" asked the adjutant general.
"No need...... Hearing that this son is quite strategic, even Xiangguo once wanted to recruit him. Although the strategy of the military advisor is wonderful, it is too vicious, and even if it wins, it will not be able to win. Order, put up my handsome flag, and the roads are all in danger. Let me Xu Rong see how many people who can be appreciated by Xiangguo and the military advisor are real materials, or just false names. β
The commander of the Western Liang Army is a rare general under Dong Zhuo who is good at commanding troops, Xu Rong, a native of Xuanxuan County in Liaodong.
Li Wei naturally didn't know that his opponent was Xu Rong, but he soon understood who his opponent was.
"Zhonglang will Xu ...... There is only one general under Dong Zhuo's command surnamed Xu and the official to the Zhonglang general, and it seems that my opponent is Xu Rong. Li Wei saw the handsome flag raised on the main road ahead, combined with the memories in his mind and the records in history, and accurately guessed the identity of the opponent.
"Thousands of tiger horsemen obey the order!! except for the third formation, the whole army will follow me to attack the front road and cut down the handsome flag!" will be the courage of the soldiers, Li Wei's bravery has been deeply rooted in the belief of the thousand tiger horses, just like the belief of Lu Buyu and the state army, as long as there is this person in the army, there is no defeated survival.
"Thousands of tiger riders, strengthen the prestige of our army!" the tiger cavalry shouted a slogan, and at the same time, Xiahou Jun and Cao Liang began to lead two groups of men and horses to attack the defense line where Xu Rong personally sat down.
"Release the arrows!! Following Xu Rong's order, the archers lying in ambush on both sides threw at the besieged tiger horsemen.
"Ahh
"Ah~~~!! don't want to hurt my siblings!! Qiao.Wuji.Phantom Stars!!" Looking at the group of tiger riders who were killed by bows and arrows, the unwilling expressions of these people before death caught Li Wei's eyes, and then stimulated him, and the latter's consciousness was like returning to the battlefield of the past, and his eyes became blood-red.
"It's still ...... People?" Xu Rong asked in astonishment, looking at the scene on the battlefield. His question was not answered, as the others were also shocked by the scene before them.
I saw that the Shadow Horse under Li Wei's crotch became a veritable 'Shadow Shadow', constantly rushing to the side of the Tiger Rider, and the iron halberd in his hand rotated vigorously to the left and right, back and forth, like a solid shield to knock down all the bows and arrows, and it also took into account all the shooting ranges, which was the fact that Xu Rong and the others were surprised.
"Ho...... Ho...... Ho ...... "Of course, Li Wei also paid the price, if according to the number of jΓΉ virtualization, Li Wei's current body and energy have dropped to the red danger level, don't you see that he is gasping for air?"
"Protect the captain!! The tiger riders naturally saw Li Wei's situation, and thought that the latter appeared in front of them like a savior to shoot down arrows that might kill them on the battlefield, and without waiting for Xiahou Jun and the others to speak, the tiger riders beside Li Wei had already gathered together and formed a human defense line around Li Wei.
"If Li Wei does not die here today, this army will become the first army in the world under his command in the future!" Xu Rong sighed.
