Chapter 270: Fighting Generals (2)
In the next two days, the army of the Kwantung princes and Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses launched a fierce battle on the front line of Yangqu, and the two sides exhausted their means, repeatedly tugging back and forth, Yangqu was almost cut off, and the canal water was dyed red.

And in the south of Luoshui, the cavalry of Li Dao and Guo Yan still fought against the soldiers and horses of Kwantung on this wide plain, winning and losing each other, and each suffered damage.
After Sun Jian was defeated and returned to Luyang, he packed up his troops and horses and marched into Luoyang again.
On the third day of Zhang Liao's return to Biguiyuan, Han Fu, Zhang Yang, and Shan Yufuluo, the Southern Xiongnu, were added to the northern road of the Kwantung princes, who came across the river, crossed the northern mountains, joined the Kwantung princes, and stormed all day, and the Yangqu defense line was lost!
Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, and LΓΌ Bu had to retreat to the first line of the imperial city of Luoyang, relying on the tall city wall and Luoshui in the south to establish two lines of defense to intercept the army of the Kwantung princes.
Zhang Liao did not participate in the battle in the past two days, and the battle was fierce in front, but he took leave from Dong Zhuo, only saying that he wanted to reorganize his troops and horses in order to fight again, Dong Zhuo thought that he and Sun Jian had a battle, suffered heavy casualties, and the troops were "lost more than half", so he agreed to his request.
However, in the past two days, Zhang Liao did not waste time, and he reorganized the soldiers and horses under his command now. The battle with Sun Jian caused him heavy losses, but he also gained a lot, especially when he discovered the shortcomings of his legion.
A complete army establishment should include the front army, the middle army, the left army, the right army, and the rear army, and the five armies can coordinate and cooperate in order to be both offensive and defensive. In the battle with Sun Jian, it was precisely because his establishment was incomplete that the Euphorbia battalion was dragged in several formations, and it was difficult to exert its original combat effectiveness.
In this establishment, Zhang Liao took the Tiger Battalion as the front army, the Euphorbia Battalion as the left army, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion as the right army, and the Marksman Battalion as the rear army, and all the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Bao Xin's command were incorporated into the army to form the Eagle Yang Army as the Chinese army. The scout battalion and the braking battalion remain unchanged. In this way, his establishment is complete.
In fact, the right army was supposed to be Gao Shun's trapping camp, and the Xiao cavalry battalion should be independent, as a mobile force, to respond to the Quartet, but now that the trapped camp is outside, he can only use the Xiao cavalry battalion as the right army.
After Zhang Liao's establishment was perfected, he ordered all armies to step up their drills and run in their ability to coordinate operations, Dong Zhuo didn't use his troops and horses for a while, he was just happy to avoid disasters.
During this period, Zhang Liao also met his master Jia Xu, Jia Xu was in Xiaopingjin's old doubtful formation, quietly retreated, and the soldiers and horses were very intact, but when the battle situation was tense on the third day, Jia Xu was also sent to the front to fight. Zhang Liao was worried about his safety, so he sent a battalion to follow and protect his master.
I didn't want to think that on the fourth day, Dong Zhuo suddenly sent to summon him, and after Zhang Liao arrived at Bi Guiyuan, he learned that Dong Zhuo was going to the palace to watch the battle in person, and asked Zhang Liao to accompany him.
Zhang Liao immediately ordered Zhang He to drill the army in the rear, and told him again that he only brought twenty tiger warriors and rushed to the palace with Dong Zhuo.
It wasn't until on the way to the palace that Zhang Liao knew that Dong Zhuo had agreed with the Kwantung princes to fight generals, and the Kwantung princes actually agreed. For a moment, he almost thought he had misheard!
Fighter? Is this in the history of romance?
You must know that in real history, although since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been fighting generals, but there are really not many. Because the general is the treasure of the army, is the head of the command of the army, the fighting general for the two armies, like child's play, but for the two sides of the battle of the general, it is extremely cruel, almost a moment of life and death, if the loss of the general because of the fighting general, it is a great pity, the gain outweighs the loss.
In particular, fighting generals belong to cavalry warfare, which is different from infantry warfare, and it is not only the force that affects the outcome of the battle, but also the war horse, weapons, on-the-spot play, psychological quality, and even including sunlight, sand, and hidden weapons, which can reverse life and death to a certain extent.
And fighting generals are generally small-scale battles are common, in small-scale battles, the general's bravery can often boost morale, determine the victory or defeat, such as their own battle with Sun Jian, and Sun Jian are on the front line, the victory or defeat of both sides has a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.
But a big war of this scale in front of you, with 200,000 people at every turn, should be fighting, how can you use fighting generals!
What is Dong Zhuo playing? What are the Kwantung princes playing again?
Until he ascended the tower of the East Gate of the Imperial Palace, Zhang Liao was still a little dazed, but then he was shocked by the formation in front of him.
When he raided the sour date, it was a night battle, and the enemy was confused, and he didn't feel what a hundred thousand people were. But at this point, he saw it.
Standing on the middle gate of the middle east, which is as high as seven or eight feet, he looked around, and saw that five or six miles away from the east of the imperial city, a piece of black oppression, connected with heaven and earth, the flag covered the sky and the sun, the loess rode rolling, the war horse neighed, and the sound was immense.
This is the 200,000 army of the Kwantung princes!
Under the imperial city, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Dong Zhuo, although the number is small, but the momentum of killing and plagiarism far exceeds the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes.
The two formations are separated by two or three miles, and if they really want to fight, I am afraid it will be a protracted battle.
Dong Zhuo sat on the top of the city tower to watch the enemy formation, beside him, Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, Yang Ding, Hua Xiong and other generals were there, including Zhang Liao, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, guarded in the rear formation, and were taken to the front by Dong Zhuo. Generals such as Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu, and Li Meng led troops to line up below to prevent the enemy from charging into battle.
Dong Zhuo looked at the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes, there was no fear on his face, but he looked at the crowd with a posture of looking at the heroes, looked around left and right, and laughed: "Although the Kwantung soldiers and horses are numerous, they are just a rabble, far inferior to the soldiers and horses under the old man's command, and even less as the fierce generals under the old man's command. β
With Dong Zhuo's hand, the guards around him shouted, the drums rumbled under the city tower, and the horn sounded, and soon, a general in armor rushed out of the formation, danced six spears in his hand, and shouted provocation at the opposite Kwantung princes' array, but the drum was too loud to hear what he shouted.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "This is Li Suye, it is rumored that after the flying general Li Guang, he has always been brave, but he is a fellow villager with my son Fengxian." β
"Exactly." Lu Bu on the side responded, looking at Li Su who was challenging below, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
With Li Su's provocation, a general from the opposite army also came out to fight.
Zhang Liao saw the passage of the fighting generals with his own eyes on the city tower, the two war horses staggered, and the fight was only in a staggered moment, and the danger was also in an instant.
Li Su's force is indeed not bad, in Zhang Liao's opinion, it should be worse than Zhang He, stronger than Zhao Wu and others, but in three rounds, Li Su stabbed the general to death with a spear!
The soldiers and horses on Dong Zhuo's side roared in unison, looking extremely excited.
Li Su killed a general, and did not end up, but just a horse whirling, and soon the Kwantung princes sent another general, but within a few rounds, he was killed by Li Su, who was like a rainbow.
It wasn't until Li Su killed five people in a row that a powerful general came out over there, and he fought with Li Su for hundreds of rounds in one go.
The Kanto side finally won, and tens of thousands of soldiers roared in unison and beat drums like thunder.
Then there were three more generals on Dong Zhuo's side, but they were beheaded one after another, and there were no generals to fight for a while.
Zhang Liao saw it, in fact, whether it was Dong Zhuo's side or the Kwantung princes' side, there were many fierce generals, but they were unwilling to send them to the battle to fight!
Obviously, they can clearly understand that the real generals are used to lead the army, not to be sent to fight bravely and kill themselves in vain.
Above the city tower, Dong Zhuo's face was a little ugly, and he looked around: "Who can fight?" β
Lu Bu, who had been impatient for a long time on the side, was about to come out of the ranks, but Yang Ding, who had been glaring at Zhang Liao, suddenly said loudly: "Xiangguo, Zhang Wenyuan has the courage of ten thousand people, why not let him fight, it will be difficult to resist in the Guandong Xiaoxiao, so as to show the prestige of the country!" β
Zhang Liao couldn't help but scold in his heart, but when he turned his head, he saw Dong Zhuo's eyes sweeping over, and he was having a headache, but Hua Xiong below rushed out of the queue and said loudly: "Don't work for Captain Zhang to fight, the last general is willing to fight, and the head of the thief will be like a bag to get something!" β
Hu Zhen on the side also hurriedly said: "Xiangguo, Huadu Governor Yongguan and the three armies, will not disappoint Xiangguo!" β
Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong, who was nine feet tall, and couldn't help but turn his anger into joy: "In this way, the Huadu Governor will go to battle, if you make meritorious contributions, there will be a reward!" β
"Xie Xiangguo!" Hua Xiong was overjoyed, bowed, turned around and strode down the city tower, but when he went down the city, he glared at Zhang Liao fiercely, and he was a little proud.
Zhang Liao was a little speechless, he was three enemies here, Yang Ding was bent on encouraging himself to fight, but Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong were afraid that they would make meritorious contributions, which was really fucking interesting. (To be continued.) )
