In the first year of the Milky Way, that is, in 189 A.D., the nine-year-old Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty drove out of Luoyang in the west and went to Chang'an to pursue and suppress Dong Zhuo's remnants: the 150,000 Xiliang army led by Li Dao Guo Yan.

The four subordinate generals, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, led a total of more than 6,000 people, and the eunuch team led by Xiao Luozi was 10 people who specially taught the use of the sunset crossbow, as well as the 500-person sunset crossbow transport troops, and the 500-person Yulin army led by the female general Cai Yan'er escorted.

The total number of troops was 7,000 people.

Out of Luoyang in the west, one hundred miles away from Luoyang on the same day, camped in Niuzhuang, after going on the road the next day, all the way to the west, only to see the four fields of mourning along the way, the corpses and bones are everywhere, there are hungry people everywhere, refugees, and there are corpses everywhere.

Looking at this tragic scene in the world, Liu Xie said angrily: "I can't imagine that this Li Dao Guo Yan is really a heinous crime, burning, killing and looting along the way, doing all kinds of evil, we are going to Chang'an, we must slaughter them, to thank the world." ”

Luoyang is 800 miles away from Chang'an, yesterday traveled 100 miles, today there are 100 miles, almost to the evening, came to a pass, called Heishui Pass.

Zhao Yun asked: "Lord, there is the Heishui Pass ahead, and there must be soldiers guarding it, should we go to the battle?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Let's talk about it first." ”

He turned around and said to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, prepare the sunset crossbow." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Huang Zhong agreed, and shouted, "Firearms battalion, set up a crossbow!" ”

The so-called erection crossbow is to take the sunset crossbow out of the box, a group of five people, one crossbow in each group, and then continue the march after the crossbow is erected.

After setting up the crossbow, Huang Zhong shouted again: "Fire meteor prepare!" ”

The Han army came to the pass, and stopped not far from the pass, Liu Xie said: "Old Lu, look at who is guarding the pass." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lu Bu came to the front of the watch and shouted: "Who is closed, why don't you open and turn it on to greet you when you see the holy car?" ”

I saw a person shouting, "Phew! Hurry up and let your puppet emperor quickly dismount and surrender, so as not to wait for death! ”

Lu Bu shouted again: "Who are you, report your name!" ”

The man said, "I am the general Niu Fu! Who are you? ”

Hearing that it was Niu Fu, Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh secretly, it turned out to be this guy. Before he ascended the throne, he often asked the small dictionary for information about various Wenchen generals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so he knew Niu Fu very well.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Zhonglang General, a straw bale, in the original history, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, he was killed by the general Hu Chier. And in the original history, he should not have been here.

However, because Liu Xie ascended the throne and killed Dong Zhuo, all the original history was disrupted, and this Li Dao was also confused, and actually let Niu Fu guard here.

Lu Bu was about to report his name, and Liu Xie said in the back: "Old Lu, you can't show your real name." ”

At that time, Lu Bu was already famous all over the world, and Liu Xie was worried that once Lu Bu reported his name, he would scare Niu Fu and not dare to come out to face him, which would be troublesome.

Lu Bu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said to Guan Shang: "I am Feng Er, the general of the Han Dynasty, do you dare to come down and fight me for three hundred rounds?" ”

Niu Fu laughed: "Haha, Feng Er, what a loud name, it scared me to death, and there are three hundred rounds of fighting, I don't need to make a move, I can take your head with just one of my subordinates, you stand there, don't be scared away." ”

Liu Xie said in the back: "Old Lu, pay attention, they are going to have someone come out to fight, if I guessed correctly, it should be Hu Chi'er." ”

Lu Bu sneered: "Let me Lu Bu fight with this unknown junior, it really insults my reputation." ”

Liu Xie also sighed and said, "Alas, Lao Lu, you, General Fei, have been wronged." ”

After that, he said to the generals: "Zilong, Ziyi, you two will see that after Lao Lu kills the enemy general, you will immediately rush to the pass, Han Sheng, you press the formation under the pass, and then go in when they take it." ”

The generals commanded.

After a while, the door opened, and a general led his men and horses to rush out. I only heard the general shouting: "Xiliang General Hu Chi'er is here, who is Feng Er?" ”

Lu Bu didn't answer, drove the red rabbit over, and the halberd turned out to be the other party. Poor Hu Chi'er didn't even see what Lu Bu looked like, his head was in a different place, and he fell off his horse and died.

Liu Xie praised: "Sure enough, it's General Fei, and his name is well deserved!" ”

This Hu Chi'er was killed, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici roared and led the crowd to rush away. Lu Bu also followed.

Liu Xie said: "Let's not panic in later, Han Sheng, hold down the position, don't use the sunset crossbow unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Huang Zhong agreed, although the Sunset Crossbow was domineering, but the stock of Fire Arrows and Fire Meteors was limited, so it should be used sparingly, and only when dealing with strong enemies.

There was already chaos in the gate, Niu Fu couldn't have imagined that these tigers would be so fierce when they were closed, and the soldiers had not yet arrived, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Lu Bu had already taken the lead in rushing into the pass.

After a while, Liu Xie and the others who were in the gate saw Zhao Yun standing on the pass, slashed Niu Fu with one sword, shook his head, and threw it down.

This Zhao Yun, who was only 19 years old at the time, was ten years older than Liu Xie, and he was already brave and mighty. Liu Xie secretly rejoiced, it was a great blessing to be able to get this young general.

But it was said that Zhao Yun shouted at the city pass: "Your Majesty, the pass has been taken, and you can enter the pass." ”

Liu Xie asked Xiao Luozi to shout, subdue and close the Xiliang soldiers, and not kill indiscriminately. Then he said to Huang Zhong: "Put away the sunset crossbow, we can go in." ”

The gate was wide open, and Liu Xie's army entered Heishui Pass and stationed down.

After entering the customs, Liu Xie ordered to go down, not to kill the Xiliang soldiers indiscriminately, to be recruited if they were willing to surrender, and to leave if they were unwilling to surrender their weapons and equipment.

These Xiliang soldiers saw that they were the generals of the imperial court, and they were the emperor's personal expeditions, and most of them were willing to submit.

Li Wei only deployed more than 5,000 horses to follow Niu Fu to guard Heishui Pass, and the equipment of the soldiers guarding the pass was better than that of the Han army, and the soldiers were also strong. Liu Xie got so many new forces at once, and he was secretly happy.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but most of these Xiliang soldiers were infantry.

So Liu Xie ordered to go down and said: "After you surrender your troops to Shun, it will be our Han army, stay here for the time being and continue to guard the pass, and then make arrangements after we take Chang'an." ”

Once arranged, camp for the night at the end of the camp and continue to set off tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Liu Xie asked Huang Zhong to continue training his firearms battalion, and in addition to the use of the sunset crossbow by strong soldiers, it also required mastery of skills such as adjusting the horizontal angle of the crossbow axis according to the distance of the target.

This is a bit like a cannon, by adjusting the angle of the barrel, to achieve accurate attacks on enemy targets at different distances.
