Chapter 412: The First Battle of Liyang

The siege of Liu Yijun under Nanpi City has begun, and the rest of the battalions have also rushed to the designated position according to the plan of the Linxian Meeting, among which the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu deliberately hid their whereabouts out of strategic considerations, and Zhao Yun's iron cavalry battalion was divided into four parts to monitor the passage between the Qinghe River and the cities, among which the most powerful is Xu Huang's Longxiang battalion, which has a total of 50,000 soldiers and the Tiger Guard battalion, but with the addition of 80,000 people, Gongming was stunned to create a great movement.

As a general under Liu Yi in the West Garden, Xu Huang has a very high status in the Youzhou Army, and his qualifications are second only to Gan Ning and Zhao Yun. In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, there is the so-called Cao Ying's five good generals, which is the best five generals of the Cao Cao clan outside the military generals, namely Yu Ban, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and Zhang He, although these five people are slightly inferior to the five tiger generals of Shu Han in terms of martial arts, it can be said that the commander can lead the army, and the five tigers are afraid that only Zhang Feima Chao can be ranked with him, and there are extremely brilliant examples in the army.

In this life, due to Liu Yi's arrival, coupled with various coincidences, three of the five sons are now serving under him, Xu Huang, the commander of the Longxiang battalion, Zhang He, the commander of the Huwei battalion, and Zhang Liao, the commander of the Yanyun battalion, are all generals who can be alone in Liu Yi's army, and their prestige is known all over the world! Their performance is also worthy of the evaluation in the history books, because of Liu Yi's arrival, and the best of them is none other than Gongming.

A Three Kingdoms, strategists are like rain, and fierce generals are like clouds, but Liu Yi believes that if all the qualities of generals are considered together, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and other three generals are enough to rank in the top six, in addition to skilled martial arts, commanders, battle formations, art of war, etc. are all elements that must be possessed as a general, and these are all proficient in everything for the three of them.

Since the West Garden accompanied Liu Yi, Xu Huang went to the east and the west to fight, and made countless contributions, his ability has long been recognized by Liu Yi and several military divisions, the battle of Yanzhou that day, Liu Yi even put the whole army into attack Chen Liu, and then in the counterattack of Cao Cao's pro-unified army Xu Huang performed remarkably, with the soldiers and alert, the battle array is changeable, it is worthy of Yafu's talent, so this time to go to Jizhou, the war on the Western Front was also handed over to Gongming, which is a heavy burden, which shows Liu Yi's trust in him.

There are no less than 60,000 defenders in Liyang City, and the defender will be Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, unlike Yuan Tan and other three brothers, this person is also polished by his own strength in the military camp, and because of his kinship, he has won Yuan Shao's trust, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in such a heavy place. With the strength of the Long Xiang battalion, even with Xu Huang's self-confidence, he didn't dare to say that he could take down Liyang, but his task was not only to bring huge pressure to the city, but also to faintly contain the Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers in Yecheng, and to always guard against the assault that the cavalry led by Wen Chou and Xiahou Yuan would launch at any time! It can be said that the Battle of Jizhou was another huge test for Xu Huang's unified army.

At the same time that Gao Shun led the army to attack Nanpi, Xu Huang's army also arrived in Yingxian County, thirty miles outside Liyang, and after a few days of the whole army, he ordered 10,000 horses to go to the city to inquire about the military situation, which is the same as Gao Shun's doing, but Nanpi is surrounded by Liu Yi's more than 100,000 troops on the side, and although Gongming's men claim to be 100,000 horses, they are actually in a battalion of Longxiang, and there are strong enemies around, which makes him more cautious in his use of troops, and any slight negligence may be a disaster.

When it was about to reach the city of Liyang, there was a group of men and horses lined up on the opposite side, Xu Huang looked carefully, the big flag in front of the army had a "high" word written on it, presumably it was the news of the guard general Gao Gan who led the army to greet him, watching its queue neatly and silently, the soldiers were all solemn, Xu Huang could see at a glance that this must be the elite of the Jizhou army, and he could feel a sense of slaughter from afar. The enemy's strategy is to hold on, and now that this high-ranking cadre has gone out of the city to meet the battle, there must be something to be afraid of.

Of course, Gao Gan can win Yuan Shao's trust not only because he is his nephew, his ability to use troops is Ju Yi has also praised it that day, and now Xu Huang's 100,000 army is coming, of course he has to personally go out to find out what the other party is, and he will never be too far away from Liyang immediately, and he does not want the enemy army to explore the city smoothly, and it is the best policy to meet him head-on.

In a moment, the two formations were round, and the eyes of the soldiers on both sides also showed the excitement of the approaching war, Xu Huang carried a big axe, and the war horse under the crotch of his legs came to the front of the two armies, and the senior cadres did not show weakness, and the spear and the prancing horse came to the face, but this person also has self-knowledge, Xu Gongming's martial arts are known to the world, if he fights himself, he is not his opponent, the black armor next to him, the body is majestic, the face is full of steel hair, the yellow horse under the crotch, and the Qibao phoenix mouth knife in his hand, it is Yan Liang Yan Shiping, one of the two heroes in Hebei, there is this person, Presumably, Xu Huang couldn't hurt him.

"Xu Gongming, what dare you dare to raise troops to invade our borders, and persuade you to quickly collect the army and retreat, otherwise you will regret it!" The tip of Gao Gan's spear pointed directly at Xu Huang, and he said loudly, quite imposing.

"Hahaha, Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to open the river in front of me, this is the territory of my Han Dynasty, not owned by your Yuan family, now Yuan Shao does not respect the Son of Heaven, General Liu was ordered by His Majesty to raise troops to ask for it, I see that you are in the prime of youth, quickly open the city and surrender, a certain can spare your life, if not, when I open the city pass, you and others are all powder." Xu Huang laughed for a while before he spoke, and the righteous name was firmly detained in his words, which was intended to hit the morale of the opponent's army.

"Liu Yi is a wolf, coercing the Son of Heaven, his heart can be punished, he is just his minions, and he dares to let go of this wild talk, deceive me Jizhou no one cares?" Gao Gan's words were not at all down, and today he went out of the city to meet the enemy, in addition to exploring the enemy army, he also wanted to see the combat power of the Youzhou army.

"Hmph, Mo Nai is a general in the court, there is no need to see you as a child, if you dare to come out, you can dare to fight." Xu Huang snorted coldly, the big axe was horizontal in front of his chest, and the battle intent burst out in an instant, that is, Gao Gan was still far away and felt a cold wind blowing in his face, and the momentum was extremely cold.

"General Xu is so majestic, but Jizhou is not a place where Ru Yaowu can show his might, if you want to fight, you will fight, and you are afraid of what you are, so let Yan Mou teach him to see if your martial arts are commensurate with your words." Gao Gan was about to answer when he heard this, but Yan Liang waved his big knife in front of him and spoke.

"Okay, I have heard for a long time that the second general of Hebei is skilled in martial arts, and he has not had a good time in the first battle of Luoxian County, so I will take you to sacrifice the flag today." When Liu Yi led the army back to the north, he fought alone in Luo County, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the two of them also fought in the rebel army, and they both knew each other's martial arts, but at this time, Gongming also had doubts in his heart, and the military intelligence said that this person and Wen Chou led tens of thousands of cavalry troops waiting for the opportunity to attack, why did they appear here? Could it be that the enemy's war situation has changed? This Yan Liang is Yuan Shao's favorite general, if he can kill him on the battlefield, he will be able to rub the enemy's sharpness, Xu Huang didn't say much at the moment, and opened the fight.

"Then Liu Langsheng came, Yan is not afraid, not to mention you, don't say much, look at the knife." On the same day, Yan Liang and Wen Chou joined forces to fight Liu Yi near the lily is especially unstoppable, admiration in his heart at the same time also has a competitive heart, after which he is more diligent in martial arts, compared to the day and there is a benefit, the previous Yuan Shao's army attacked Xuzhou, he and Yanren Zhang Fei in Langya a battle was wonderful and equal, asking himself is a proud battle, Xu Huang wants to kill him Liwei, he is not a general idea in his heart, this person and Liu Yi can be described as a right-hand man, plus skilled martial arts, can be described as a strong enemy.

Qibao phoenix mouth knife with a fierce wind split face, no matter the speed and strength are just right, among them there is more indomitable power, Xu Huang's eyes lit up, swinging the axe to block, a loud bang was heard by both armies, and then the front of the battle was the sound of drums, the soldiers on both sides screamed desperately to cheer for their own generals, the two generals looked at each other and waved their blades again, only to see the two horses circling the knife and axe flying in one place.
