When Chen Cheng led the guards to join the battlefield, Lu Bu's army was already on the verge of collapse. No matter how brave Lu Bu is and how good Zhang Liao is, it is difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, they only have 30,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry in their hands, and they have already invested in the attack on Duan Xuan's army, and before they have time to adjust the formation, they have already been attacked by the Xiliang army from the flank or behind.

Whether it is Yang Qiu, or Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, Ma Teng and others, they are all generals who are good at using cavalry, perhaps under the same strength, the frontal is just over Lu Bu's wolf cavalry, but the Xiliang soldiers are numerous, and under the cavalry charge, the infantry with broken formations will be defeated first, and only the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao can rely on the advantage of mobility, and they can also fight back and forth with the Xiliang people.

But that's the end of it.

As Yang Qiu put troops into the battlefield, the scope of activity of Lü Bu's army became less and less, and when Chen Cheng led his guards to join the battlefield, only three or four thousand cavalry of Lü Bu's army were besieged by the Xiliang cavalry near a town.

Everyone knew that capturing or killing Lu Bu was a great achievement, so even if he was repulsed many times, a large number of cavalry still chased Lu Bu closely, and his gorgeous outfit was too eye-catching. The two armies fought one after another, and one after another the Xiliang army fell under Lu Bu's gun, but the balance of victory still fell firmly in the direction of the Xiliang army.

After two years of cultivation and recuperation, the equipment of the Western Liang Army is already better than that of the imperial court. The plate armor beaten out of steel still has all kinds of deficiencies, and it is even more troublesome to repair, but even with all kinds of defects, the stronger defense alone is enough to surpass Lu Bujun's armor, beam armor, and even iron armor.

"Whew, whew!"

Lu Bu gasped heavily, the spear in his hand had already broken once, and now it was replaced with a new one. The gorgeous armor on his body was also damaged in many places, and if it weren't for the extraordinary Red Rabbit Horse Divine Horse, he would have been stabbed off his horse in the previous chaotic battle.

Especially a guy with the banner of "horse", the spear is superb, and the strength is far beyond ordinary people, and it took him a lot of effort to injure him. It's just that the battlefield was so chaotic at that time that by the time he wanted to go back and cut off the guy's head, he couldn't see where the people were.

"Lord, the matter is urgent, don't fall in love with the war, please quickly lead the troops to break through!"

Zhang Liao's body was also covered with blood, he fought hard today, repelling the Xiliang army again and again, but the impact of the Xiliang people was like a wave, and there was another wave after a wave. First, the infantry was scattered and, like a flock of sheep being driven, fled to the east. Then the cavalry was constantly assaulted, and under the non-stop fighting, most of the people were either killed or isolated from the seemingly endless Xiliang cavalry.

And once the establishment is lost, the scattered soldiers and horses will not be able to pose any threat to the enemy who maintains the formation. Zhang Liaoxin said: Those people have either surrendered, or they have fled in the direction of Chang'an.

Lu Bu had incomparable resentment and unwillingness in his heart, he came with an army of 100,000 to compete with Chen Cheng, but now he was defeated without even seeing the main master. How could this make him, who was arrogant, swallow this breath?

But now they can't swallow it, and after they stopped here for a long time, the Xiliang people have surrounded them again. Lu Bu picked up the water bladder and poured it into his mouth, and then said hatefully: "When I return to Chang'an, I will deal with the Xiliang thief!" ”

He jumped on his horse and shouted to his tired men, "Get up and fight with me!" ”

"No!"

Thousands of cavalry mounted their horses one after another, and then followed behind Lu Bu and rushed along a road. The Xiliang Army in front of him was the Candidate Department, and the Candidate was originally the lieutenant of Lingzhou County, and later Xu Chao became the secretary of the household department, and he took over as the commander of Lingzhou County. After Song Jian knelt down, he was transferred to Jiuquan County and guarded more than ten cities.

Later, Zhao Yun led an expedition to the Western Regions, and he and Ma Wan also sent soldiers and horses to help in the war. When the Western Regions Changshi Mansion was re-established, the threat of the Wusun people was greatly reduced, and the Prefecture Governor also reduced the number of soldiers and troops in Jiuquan County. The number of soldiers and horses under his command is not large, and this time he only brought 3,000 cavalry to participate in the Eastern Expedition, and in the previous battle, the soldiers and horses under his command have lost hundreds, and only more than 2,000 horsemen remain.

Seeing Lu Bu breaking through from his direction, Hou Xuan scolded secretly in his stomach: Does Naigong look like he is made of dough? scolded and scolded, but the candidate had to cheer up to deal with it, and he didn't dare to let Lu Bu go like this. He raised his spear, raised his arms and shouted, "Rush with me!" ”

Among the soldiers and horses under his command, most of the officers are the children of the Hou family, and the number of troops is not large, so the training and treatment are very good, even in the face of the trapped beast Lu Bujun, these people did not hesitate to rush up with Hou Xuan.

The tactics of both sides were the same, with the most elite assault cavalry in front, light cavalry in the rear, and rangers on both flanks. The horses galloped, and the hooves sounded like thunder. After the horse speed was raised, the spear naturally fell, pointing at the enemy in front of him. The difference is that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have gone through a series of fierce battles, the armored cavalry has lost all their losses, and the other assault cavalry has also suffered a lot of casualties, so the soldiers and horses in the front row look a little sparse, and they no longer have the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops before.

The soldiers and horses of the Hou Xuan Department were close together, stretched into a width of half a mile, and collided with Lu Bu's cavalry head-on.

The Guanzhong Plain is open, and it is most suitable for cavalry galloping. The speed of the horses on both sides soon rose to the highest level, and the dense cavalry spears collided head-on, and the sound of wooden poles breaking and metal striking almost simultaneously sounded, followed by the screams of the soldiers and the neighing of the horses.

In melee combat, if the combat strength of both sides is about the same, then the loss is directly proportional to the strength of the opponent. Although Lu Bu is brave, it is impossible to play anything in this kind of hard-hitting collision. It was just a hedge, and there were hundreds more casualties in Lu Bu's army.

When the assault in the front row ran out of kinetic energy, the light riders and rangers in the rear began to fight each other again. The battle line stretched to both sides. The original open space was not enough for the cavalry to gallop, many cavalry simply jumped into the field, the iron hooves of the war horses trampled the seedlings in the field, arrows and spears whistled in the air, knocking down one cavalry after another.

Lu Bu rose up bravely, and the spear stabbed out, hitting the chest of a Xiliang cavalryman, and the tip of the spear pierced the hard steel plate, making a "zila" sound, but it failed to pierce as before. Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, the two horses missed, he raised the spear, and looked at it, but because the battle was too fierce, the tip of the spear had been broken.

He yelled, threw away his spear, and drew his secondary weapon, the Ringhead. The strong wind in front of him was blowing, Lu Bu didn't think twice, waved his knife to block, and slashed at the tip of the spear, sparks shot everywhere, and it made a sonorous sound. Hou Xuan is also a well-known hero in the army, knowing that his martial arts are still some distance from Lu Bu, but he is not afraid at all, shakes his spirit, and spurs his horse.

Lu Bu sneered, caught a glimpse of the situation and swung his knife again, and the spear was knocked open and slashed in front of him.

Hou Xuan struck another blow to no avail, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated in his heart, but he saw Lu Bu stretch out his left hand and grab the barrel of the gun after turning his body to avoid his ferocious assassination. The power came, and the weapon was about to come out of his hand. Hou Xuan was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the spear in his hand.

The strength of both hands will always be greater than that of the other, unless the gap between them is too great to match. Hou Xuan grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands and was about to regain it, but Lu Bu had already thrown away the ring head knife, grabbed the front half of the spear with both hands, and then roared, and with the strength of both arms, he actually dragged Hou Xuan off the horse.

When the soldiers under the command of the candidate saw it, they became anxious and shouted together: "General, let go!" ”

Hearing this, Hou Xuan secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, and quickly let go of his hands and curled up his body. Lu Bu seized a high-quality spear and laughed wildly, the spear shook in his hand, and stabbed to death the two Xiliang cavalrymen who came forward. The others did not dare to stop and snatched back the candidates on the ground.

Hou Xuan climbed on a war horse in a daze, and shouted: "Don't worry about Lu Bu for now, leave all the cavalry behind me!" ”

When the soldiers under his command heard this, they gave up chasing Lü Bu and began to besiege and kill the enemy troops scattered in the fields and on the avenues. In the previous melee, there were already more Xiliang cavalry around the front, ready to intercept Lu Bu again.

The red rabbit horse galloped along the country road, and the scene in front of him kept approaching rapidly, and then it was quickly led behind him. After galloping for a distance, Lu Bu suddenly restrained the war horse, and when the red rabbit horse kept kicking the four hooves, Zhang Liao and others caught up and asked, "Why did the lord stop?" ”

Lu Bu pointed to the village on the side and the road in front of him, and asked, "What is this place?" ”

If it's near a city, you can tell where it is, but where in the countryside are there road signs, signs, landmarks, and the like? Zhang Liao and the others looked around, but they didn't know where they were.

The sound of chickens and dogs crowing could be heard in the village, and people were running back and forth, and there seemed to be the reflection of weapons. Lu Bu saw that the village's defenses were not very strong, and he wanted to repair it here first. Guanzhong has always been rich, although it has been dilapidated a lot in the past two years, but there will still be some grain in the village. Eating a hot meal and sleeping with the two village girls in your arms will definitely restore no less than vitality.

But there was smoke and dust on the road behind, and it was obvious that the Xiliang thief was catching up. Lu Bu didn't dare to stop now, so he asked, "Uncle, where to go to Chang'an?" ”

An old man poked his head out from behind the closed village gate, glanced at Lu Bu, who was a little down, but still had gorgeous armor on his body, pointed in one direction, and said, "It's over there!" ”

Lu Bu then shouted to the thousand riders behind him: "Follow me!" ”

When the cavalry was far away, someone in the village asked, "Village chief, don't you have to take the road to the east to go to Chang'an?" How did you point to the north? At the end of the road to the north are the river beach and the swamp! ”

The old man's voice rang out, "Just let them go to the swamp!" That Lu Bu, I know him even if he turns to ashes! He killed the people in Erwazi Village, and now that he has lost the battle and wants to run back to Chang'an, can I still show him the right way? ”
