The battle with Hua Xiong just now, although Hua Xiong will definitely be aware of it.

But Liu Zheng hid the stirrup under the heavy pad early in the morning, and designed a thick war horse armor specifically to hide the stirrup.

Presumably, Hua Xiong should not have discovered the existence of this stirrup, although the stirrup will be discovered by the enemy sooner or later, and then improve the war horse combat technology of the entire Three Kingdoms era, it can be delayed for a while, and Liu Zheng intends to delay it for a while.

In this way, Liu Zheng was able to take advantage of the power of the war horse, and the technology was ahead for a while.

The battle with Huaxiong did not last long, the entire battle time, I am afraid that there was no time for twenty minutes, plus the number of deaths on Liu Zheng's side was not much, and it was easy to clean up the battlefield.

There is no need to clean too carefully, just take away the stirrups of the dead brothers, and then sweep away the horses that are still alive on the battlefield.

Soon, Liu Zheng took the remnants of the men and horses and continued to rush towards Runan.

As he walked, he began to calculate the gains and losses of this big battle.

This battle with Huaxiong and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the result was naturally very satisfactory to Liu Zheng, after all, he was able to break the nearly 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Huaxiong with 700 cavalry, this kind of record, I am afraid that the entire Three Kingdoms period is not much.

Not to mention, these cavalry under Liu Zheng were just some novices who had just trained for a month, and they were able to defeat the veterans under Dong Zhuo who fought on horses all year round, which was an eye-opener for Liu Zheng.

Of course, all this credit is given by the stirrups, but as long as Liu Zheng has the stirrup, he has absolute authority in the cavalry.

However, it was not without losses, seven hundred cavalry, after the battle, when Liu Zheng observed, there were only more than 400 people left, and a big battle injured nearly 300 people.

Nearly half of the people were killed and wounded, which is not good news for Liu Zheng, the cavalry under his command is itself elite, and one less is dead, but fortunately, he has obtained a lot of Xiliang war horses from Huaxiong.

With these Xiliang war horses, it is only a matter of time before he trains a group of cavalry.

And Dong Zhuo's follow-up army also quickly pursued to the place where they were fighting just now.

Dong Zhuo led people and hurriedly pursued from Shangcai County, but because he was infantry, his mobility was not strong enough, and he slowly came to the battlefield more than ten minutes after the battle between Huaxiong and Liu Zheng ended.

He watched as Hua Xiong, who was seriously injured and embarrassed, returned to his army with a group of remnants.

Dong Zhuo was immediately shocked.

He was surprised that Hua Xiong, the number one general under him, would actually lose to Liu Zheng, and he was surprised that the three thousand proud Xiliang Iron Cavalry would be defeated by Liu Zheng, and there were only less than a thousand of the three thousand people who fled back.

He immediately summoned Hua Xiong to come over to ask for the guilt, Hua Xiong cried with a sad face, and could only say that the cavalry under Liu Zheng was too strong, and told Dong Zhuo about the scene of the battle between the two sides.

Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted to scold Hua Xiong for this waste, but when he thought that when Hu Chi'er was defeated by Liu Zheng before, he also said that there was a group of powerful cavalry under Liu Zheng, and it was with the charge of those cavalry that his 5,000-strong army would be killed and collapsed.

At that time, Dong Zhuo didn't think so, and even didn't think about it, thinking that the cavalry in the world, only he Xiliang Iron Cavalry was the most powerful.

But now, Dong Zhuo has to believe that it is not that the soldiers and horses under his command are not strong, but that Liu Zheng really has a powerful cavalry, and this cavalry is even more powerful than the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command.

"We can't let that guy leave here, or his cavalry will definitely become a huge threat to us!"

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, and Li Ru, who was standing beside Dong Zhuo, immediately had a gloomy face, thinking of Liu Zheng's strength, Li Ru began to have a faint feeling of being bad.

"We can't let him go back alive, speed up the pace immediately, we must intercept Liu Zheng, kill him before he rushes back to Runan, and at the same time, hurry up and send someone to let He Yi's waste men and horses come over, don't go to garrison Shangcai County, there is not much oil and water in a small county!"

The reason why Dong Zhuo caught up so late was actually the same as Liu Zheng expected, in order to break Shangcai County, He Yi's men and horses, in order to seize Shangcai County, directly sent all the men and horses into the city.

And gave up chasing Liu Zheng, Dong Zhuo also delayed for a while because of He Yi's actions, which would be so far behind.

At this time, there were only 10,000 people left around Dong Zhuo, and these 10,000 people wanted to catch up with Liu Zheng, intercept Liu Zheng, and kill Liu Zheng, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, it was still quite difficult.

can only let people go over to He Yi and let He Yi's soldiers and horses come over to help.

On the one hand, he sent people to let He Yi's men come over, and on the other hand, Dong Zhuo accelerated to pursue Liu Zheng.

And it didn't take long for Liu Zheng's side, the vanguard troops, had already converged Pei Yuanshao, Pei Yuanshao Liu Zheng's order, went to Runan City, and transferred 10,000 of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses in Runan City to Shangcai County to support.

After these 10,000 soldiers and horses converged with Zhou Cang's men and horses, they immediately knew what happened to Zhou Cang and the others, and then according to Liu Zheng's previous arrangement, they set up an ambush more than ten miles away from Shangcai County to Runan City.

The combined number of men and horses on both sides was close to 20,000 people, and it was enough to set up an ambush to attack the men and horses who were chasing and killing from Shangcai County.

Not long after, Liu Zheng led the remaining more than 1,000 people to come here, and Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao quickly sent people to meet Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng could finally take a rest, but not long after, from the road behind them, Dong Zhuojun, who was rushing to pursue them, came.

In order to be able to catch up with Liu Zheng and the others, Dong Zhuo had already accelerated his marching speed, but he didn't know that Liu Zheng's men and horses had already set up ambushes on both sides of the road.

When Dong Zhuo's men and horses were all killed, the Yellow Turban Army, which had already been ambushed on both sides, suddenly came out.

The shouts of 20,000 troops shook the sky.

Dong Zhuo's 10,000 soldiers and horses who were frightened looked miserable.

Immediately hurriedly responded, but Dong Zhuo's army, the morale had already dropped a lot, although they had defeated Shangcai County, but the difficulty of the Yellow Turban Army formed an effective shadow in Dong Zhuo's army.

Whether it was the hundreds of Dong Zhuo Xinjun that Liu Zheng deliberately let go, after they returned to Dong Zhuo's barracks, they publicized it, which made Dong Zhuo's army Yellow Turban Army have a sense of fear.

At the same time, not long ago, Hua Xiong led three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry to pursue the Yellow Turban Army, but he also suffered a miserable defeat, and the terrifying impression of the Yellow Turban Army penetrated deep into Dong Zhuojun's interior.

This time, he was ambushed. It was even more collapsed all at once.
