Chapter 750

The troops had not been away from their tents for a long time, and trouble came to the door by the Luo River. Said it was trouble, but in fact, it was not a trouble, I had never seen anyone who dared to block the road with only five people, and I don't know if this Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao was really bold or didn't know whether he was alive or dead, when Guan Yu told Liu Lan the news, he had just received a secret letter from Cao Cao, with few numbers on it, but it concisely explained Liu Lan's current situation.

After reading the letter, Liu Lan handed it over to Guan Yu, and when the latter looked at it carefully, Liu Lan said with a solemn face: "This person is very tricky, how is it?" What are the odds? ”

"In terms of troops, the dragoon army and the Liaodong army are elite, and there is nothing to fear in the world, but the Chinese tactics and tricks are endless, far from being comparable to the Hu war, and although the enemy is only eight hundred, but it dares to come and fight with my ten thousand horsemen must be outstanding, this battle seems to be a disparity in strength, but I am afraid that the outcome is unpredictable." Guan Yu stroked his beard and frowned, he had never been so heavy as he was today: "What Meng Dexin said is vague, but it can be seen that this person is not trusted by Yuan Shao, he has been stationed in Hanoi for more than a year, and he has never participated in any battle, why did Yuan Shao send him here on this matter?" Is it really a killer weapon used at critical moments? Or did Yuan Shao send 800 cannon fodder for another purpose? ”

Liu Lan nodded, and said gloomily: "This Lu Yi is by no means cannon fodder, Yuan Benchu once accidentally mentioned this person during the first princes' alliance, and the wolf rode bravely enough, but at the beginning of the war, he was annihilated by this person in a battle of 3,000 people, and since then he has been hiding in Mengjin and dare not show his face, if it were not for the fact that Dong Zhuo sent Niu Futun to live in Xiaopingjin, Yuan Shao was afraid that he was a Xiliang person, and he was afraid that he and Niu Fu secretly communicated with him, so he was transferred back to Hanoi, and it was idle until the Taishan army was completely annihilated by Li and Guo Yan. This talent was reused again, and he led his troops to the front line of Mengjin. It is said that the layman looks lively. But if you and I, who know the tactics of light cavalry warfare, can't see that this person is terrifying, then we will be laughed off by people, and we will destroy the wolf cavalry of the state with 800 infantry and 3,000 people. These 800 people who were dubbed 'the first to ascend to the dead' dared to call themselves the word "dead", but if you think about it carefully, you can't laugh at all! ”

Guan Yu couldn't laugh either, because he and the lord didn't even know how the enemy fought, but with infantry against cavalry, it was nothing more than the word formation, but 800 people could destroy 3,000 wolf cavalry, and the wolf cavalry army would not dare to cross the river into Hanoi half a step, but they were afraid that it would be different from the infantry they usually saw.

The two fell into deep thought.

"Is it difficult to ......" Liu Lan thought of an old thing. He said to Guan Yu easily: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, once led his troops to 5,000 soldiers, "all Jingchu warriors and strange swordsmen", went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, and met the main cavalry of the Xiongnu equivalent to sixteen times their own, but they persevered for ten days, fought for thousands of miles, and killed tens of thousands of enemies! But in the end, Li Ling's arrows were all captured, and before he was captured, he said: Give each of my soldiers three arrows. We can hold on to the Han border. It's a pity they don't have a single arrow! They are said to have fired a total of 500,000 arrows!!! ”

"What do you mean, lord?"

"What is the greatest enemy of the hussars? Not pikemen in formation, but heavy crossbowmen with heavy crossbows, if they were really eight hundred heavy crossbowmen. Unless we retreat without a fight, we will have to lose our skin even if we don't die. Liu Lan was in a heavy mood and said, "Yun Chang." Remember when I told you about the idea of heavy cavalry? If we now have 3,000 of these heavy cavalry, it doesn't matter if he has 800 or 8,000 strong crossbowmen. One charge can kill them all and lose their armor! ”

Sima once brought him and Ou Yejian up the idea of heavy cavalry. It is to tailor a set of heavy armor for each of the three thousand dragoons, and even the war horses also build a set of heavy armor, but because of the scarcity of iron ore, they finally had to give up, sighed, comforted themselves, and said: "I can't be intimidated by him now, the dragoons are not vegetarians, if we really fight, can only eight hundred first climbers stop me from going?" ”

"Yes, maybe he's still afraid of us at the moment, but I'm still the same sentence, strategically despise the enemy, and tactically value the enemy." As he spoke, he waved his horsewhip, pointed ahead, and said, "I'll go and meet this Dongjun Taishou first, see what tricks he plays, and you can take the dragoons to slow down some marching first!" ”

"Sima Ke must be careful, the only known enemy now is Lu Yi who has been mobilized to the south, and Qiao Mao who is blocking the way in front of him, but it is unknown what Yuan Shao has behind."

Liu Lan was expressionless, his heart was heavy, and when he came to Luohe, he saw a middle-aged figure standing under a willow tree in the distance, the willows were still around, the river breeze was blowing, the robe was hunting, the middle-aged man was holding a bag, there were only five guards and a chariot around him, and he was watching Liu Lan approach quickly, but as he got closer and closer, the fine beads of sweat on Qiao Mao's forehead became thicker and thicker.

Liu Lan appeared and immediately clenched his fists: "Qiao Taishou." ”

Liu Lan squinted his eyes and looked at Qiao Mao, who was guarded by five guards, if it was expected that Lu Yi was sent by Yuan Shao to Lunan to intercept him in the morning, but Qiao Mao's sudden appearance here was a little unexpected, if it was an old friend to say goodbye, it would be reasonable, but he and Qiao Mao really had nothing to do with it, and it was a little inexplicable that he brought these five people here, but when he gave it up, one of the five guards snorted, maybe he was not used to seeing Liu Lan shouting like this, and being so big in front of the lord, Originally, he was a personal soldier of the Taishou of Dongjun, and he was proud on weekdays, but now when he saw this, he immediately became angry and scolded angrily: "Liu De'an, when you see the county guard, why don't you get off the horse and salute!" ”

Liu Lan sneered, not wanting the five people to touch the ring knife on their waists in an instant, and immediately killed him, while Qiao Mao trembled, and the little bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. Liu Lan hesitated, although he saw the strangeness in it, he still immediately pulled out the dragon slaying knife, brushed two knives and resulted in two people, and the other three were quickly rushed by Zhang Fei and Yan Zhi in an instant.

Zhang Fei stabbed Qiao Mao with a spear, but was stopped by Liu Lan, he felt inexplicable early in the morning, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao would be kind enough to send him, so he was prepared, and he dared to come to see him alone to see what he was having, but now he tried it out but found a little weird, with the skills of these five people, it was too big to take his life, and he himself was still in it, whether he killed Liu Lan or not, he didn't have the life to return to Luoyang, since it was the result of death, why did Qiao Mao still care about life and death?

No, the five people just now didn't get Qiao Mao's order, they made their own decisions, this is weird, even if these five people are as reckless as Zhang Fei, why is he not like Liu Lan to stop them?

Could it be...... (To be continued......)
