The camp of the 1st Cavalry Division.

In Huaxiong's big tent, the head of the first cavalry division looked at Huaxiong with a wretched mind.

"General, when is it our turn? If we wait any longer, the general's gun will rust! The newly descended Zhang Xiu was anxious to make meritorious service, listening to the fierce battle ahead, he couldn't help but feel anxious, this was the seventh time he had asked Huaxiong like this! Both were born in Xiliangjun, and Zhang Ji and Huaxiong are still old acquaintances, and Zhang Xiu is also Huaxiong's son and nephew, so Zhang Xiu is not too restrained in speaking.

"Don't worry, the lord said, good steel is used on the blade, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight without a fight?" Hua Xiong was also anxious to go into battle, but he knew that the people below could say anything, but as the commander of the first division, he couldn't, if he also lost his calm, the thousands of people in the whole division might be in danger, and he had to think about the problem from the perspective of a commander, and consider the huge chess game arranged by Liu Zhang.

"Alas, others eat meat and gnaw bones, and we can't even get a mouthful of soup, what a wreck!" A major of the 1st Cavalry Division muttered.

Hua Xiong glared at the man, and said in a stern tone, "What kind of?" We are cavalry, it is difficult to defend the city, not to mention what to do, and it will make many brothers die in vain, the Lord knows this and did not let us guard the camp with other brothers, wait, the Lord will not let us eat thousands of men and horses in this corpse, there must be a task to us! ”

The major bowed his head and did not dare to say more.

"General Gao will order the ......," a shout came from outside the tent.

Hua Xiong and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and finally looked forward to it, without the slightest delay, Hua Xiong stood up and led everyone out of the tent.

"General Gao ordered ......"

Hua Xiong and the others couldn't help but stand up straight.

"Order the first cavalry division to leave the camp from the west gate and make every effort to assault Dong Zhuo's rear army, whether it succeeds or not, it must be withdrawn before Dong Zhuo's cavalry is encircled!"

"The last will be ordered!" Hua Xiong responded firmly.

Gao Shun's personal guard said: "General Hua, General Gao is waiting for your good news, at present, the enemy is attacking fiercely, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and the defense line is crumbling, please be sure to leave the city immediately, attract the enemy army to rescue Dong Zhuo, and reduce the pressure on the brothers defending the city!" ”

Hua Xiong nodded and said, "I understand!" Someone, assemble the team, and get ready to go! ”

"General Gao is still waiting for the villain to reply, and the villain will leave!" Gao Shun's personal guard saluted, turned and left.

The First Cavalry Division was already ready to go, and after Gao Shun's personal soldiers left, Hua Xiong immediately took the reins of the mount from his personal soldiers and turned over on his horse, shouting at a large number of black crows: "Brothers, we have finally fulfilled our long-cherished wish, General Gao's order is here, the first cavalry division will all go out to raid the rear of Dong Zhuo's army, disrupt the deployment of the enemy, and reduce the pressure on the infantry brothers, are you confident in completing this task?" ”

Led by Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others, thousands of people shouted in unison: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

"Very well, all along, it was the infantry brothers who fought, it was they who protected us, and now, it is time for us to return the favor, I repeat the military order, if there is any fear of the enemy, it will not be the first - behead! Well, without further ado, the infantry brothers are still waiting for us, let's go! ”

The horses' hooves were gained, and thousands of horsemen slowly marched towards the west gate.

Yang Ren, the guard of the West Gate, had already received Gao Shun's orders, and waited under the city gate early, and when he saw Gao Shun coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"The military situation is urgent, so I won't say more to Brigade Commander Yang, please open the city gate ......" Hua Xiong saw Yang Ren ushering in and said busily.

"Yes, General, please!" Yang Ren saluted and then ran back to the city gate and shouted: "Open the city—"

A dozen soldiers immediately retreated from the latches and removed the logs that were diagonally propped up on the heavy gates.

The gate was opened, and many soldiers rushed out of the city gate carrying several pieces of wooden nails more than five inches thick, and suddenly a wooden bridge more than five feet wide connected the two sides of the ditch.

"Departure ......" Hua Xiong waved his hand, and was the first to run out of the city gate, followed closely by Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er.

"I wish General Gao a victory in riding and success!" Yang Ren bowed.

"I've borrowed your good words...... Hua Xiong's voice drifted away.

After a short time, the first cavalry division galloped across the wooden bridge, and Yang Ren immediately ran through the trench with 500 soldiers to defend the wooden bridge in preparation for receiving Huaxiong into the city, and at the same time ordered all the soldiers to unsheath their swords, wound their arrows, and load their trebuchets and bed crossbows with "ammunition" so that they could be fired at any time.

Hua Xiong integrated the troops slightly, and the sky immediately exhaled a deafening sound of horses' hooves!

Dong Zhuo did not attack the east, west, and south gates, but only sent a small number of soldiers to monitor the movements in the three places, he knew that Liu Zhang had a cavalry in the camp, if the battle fell into anxiety, Liu Zhang sent this cavalry to raid, it would pose a huge threat to him, so the surveillance soldiers were intended to provide him with early warning, not to prevent Liu Zhang from breaking through, he was not worried about Liu Zhang's breakthrough, after all, the Weishui ferry was under his control, and Liu Zhang's breakthrough was also a way to escape, and there was no protection of the earthen wall, His powerful cavalry could easily reap the lives of Liu Zhang's army, and because of this, he wished that Liu Zhang would break through!

The Xiliang army, who was in charge of the Ximen surveillance, had already discovered Huaxiong's movements, and the two knights galloped north to report back to Dong Zhuo, and the rest retreated one after another, monitoring the movements of the Yizhou army from afar.

"What? Liu Zhang really sent cavalry? Dong Zhuo asked with a little surprise when he heard the soldier's report.

"Xiangye, the villain saw it with his own eyes, and the leaders were the traitors Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu!" The panting knight hurriedly said.

"These two men who betray the Lord for glory? Okay, it's good to come! See how Benxiang captures these two thieves alive and cuts them with a thousand knives, so that others know the fate of betraying Benxiang! Hearing that the people who commanded the troops turned out to be Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu, two traitors, Dong Zhuo laughed instead of being angry.

Li Ru on the side said: "Can you see how many enemies are coming?" ”

"About 10,000 ......"

Li Ru nodded, and turned to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangye, there are only 5,000 cavalry on the right flank of our army, and there is a fear of accidents with one enemy and two enemies, please transfer 10,000 infantry troops to protect the rear army, and you can also contain the enemy cavalry, and then the cavalry will complete the encirclement, and destroy Liu Zhang's cavalry troops in one fell swoop!" ”

Dong Zhuo muttered: "The city is about to be destroyed, if the infantry army is transferred at this time, wouldn't it give Liu Zhang a chance to breathe?" Once Liu Zhang eased up and caused Li Dao's attack to fail, wouldn't he sacrifice his roots? ”

Li Ru said: "Xiangye, Confucianism thinks that the battlefield space is limited, and it is difficult for our army's 100,000 troops to be fully deployed, and the rear army is in vain, and the transfer of 10,000 elites from it will not damage the attack power of our army, and these 10,000 people are limited by the terrain and are useless, but after fighting elsewhere, they can drag Liu Zhang's cavalry, once the enemy's cavalry is suppressed, our cavalry can complete the encirclement and eliminate this hidden danger in one fell swoop!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "Wen You's words are reasonable, but Wen You, have you ever dispatched 10,000 infantry to meet Liu Zhang's cavalry, although it will not damage the combat strength of our army, but it will deal a blow to the morale of our army, the soldiers don't know that Wen You are going to annihilate Liu Zhang's cavalry, they only see that the troops behind them have been transferred, what do you think they will think?" And once Liu Zhang takes advantage of our army's transfer of troops to release rumors and shake the hearts of our army, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

"But with 5,000 cavalry against 10,000 enemy troops, I'm afraid it will ......" Dong Zhuo's worries are not entirely unreasonable, seeing that the battle situation is becoming more and more favorable, the soldiers suddenly found that there was a fire in the backyard, and the situation has been "critical" to the point where they need to draw troops from the siege force to help, and the soldiers who do not know the truth must have different thoughts and begin to think about their own safety, but Li Ru also knows that the Yizhou army is by no means easy, and with 5,000 cavalry to meet 10,000 enemy troops, the end of the entire Xiliang group may be unbearable, because it is very likely to lose, and once he fails to block the enemy cavalry, Hua Xiong will lead people to rush here, and when the time comes, the entire Xiliang Group may only have one way to perish, worthy of being the person who knows Dong Zhuo best, Li Ru immediately understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Is Xiangye going to transfer the left wing cavalry to support?" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, although there are only five thousand horsemen on the left wing, three thousand of them are the guard's own horsemen - the Flying Bear Army!" Since the establishment of the Flying Bear Army, it has been defeated in a great war, so let them use the blood of Hua Xiong and Zhang Xiu, two traitors, to glorify the battle flag of the Flying Bear Army again! ”

"Xiangye think twice......" Li Ru hurriedly said: "Xiangye, the enemy situation is unknown at the moment, and the cavalry on the left flank should not be lightly adjusted!" Once the cavalry on the left flank is transferred, the left side of our army will be completely exposed to Liu Zhang, in case he seizes this opportunity to send cavalry to attack the left side of our army, our army will definitely be defeated......"

Dong Zhuo said: "Liu Zhang's cavalry here is no more than 10,000 people, and it has been ascertained that all of them have been dispatched, what will he use to assault the left side of our army?" Foot Army? With the slow speed of the infantry army, by the time they rushed over, the prime minister had already adjusted the formation Gonghou! ”

"Xiangye, the reconnaissance cavalry is only roughly estimated that there are about 10,000 enemy cavalry, and this number cannot be confirmed at all, if Liu Zhang does not send all the cavalry to attack, our army will fall into Liu Zhang's trap if he dares to mobilize the cavalry on the left flank!"

"Needless to say, this aspect has its own measure! Even if Liu Zhang had any tricks, he couldn't do anything, because before this, the Flying Bear Army had already completely annihilated the enemy on the right flank and returned to the left flank! ”

"But Xiangye ......"

"It's decided! Li Le ......" Dong Zhuo interrupted Li Ru's words with a wave of his chubby hand.

"The last general!" Li Le hurriedly stepped forward to bow.

"Order you to command the cavalry on the right flank to meet the Yizhou cavalry, be sure to hold them back, this minister will order Dong Ming to come to support, once Dong Ming arrives, the two of you need to work together to annihilate the enemy cavalry in one fell swoop, if you let the enemy go, you will not come back!"

"The last will be ordered!" Li Le said firmly, but he cried out bitterly in his heart, the five thousand horsemen on the right wing were originally his troops, and their combat power was not bad, he knew this very well, but he had also seen the combat effectiveness of the Yizhou cavalry, and he was not inferior to his own men and horses at all, with one enemy and two ...... Alas, although he has Dong Ming's support, can he hold on to Dong Ming's help? No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, but Dong Zhuo's order had been given, he didn't want to fall to the ground immediately, so he had to bid farewell to Dong Zhuo and lead dozens of relatives to run to the right wing cavalry group.

After Li Le left, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered someone to order Dong Ming to quickly support Li Le.
