Chapter 508: The Jade Seal of the Country
"If you don't fight? Being caught up by enemy cavalry, what will you do? ”
Zhang Xiu was anxious in his heart, but he had no right to order these Xiliang veterans.
As soon as he finished speaking, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves was heard.
"It's over! Uncle ......"
Shocked by the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Xiu sighed and burst into tears.
The large-scale assault of the Han cavalry meant that the battle in Hutou Mountain was over. His uncle was more than lucky.
"What should I do? Why don't you disperse and retreat! A Xiliang general spoke.
"Nowadays, only the crowd is together to form a formation. The enemy's cavalry was not only in the hundreds, but in the tens of thousands, scattered and retreated, and the enemy attacked one by one, and it was estimated that none of them could escape. ”
Zhang Xiu suggested to the Xiliang cavalry.
However, he already had a plan in his heart, they were isolated, and no matter how they escaped, it was a dead end.
Only if you leave on a solo ride can you survive. He wants to save his life to avenge Zhang Ji!
The Xiliang Army is over, and Dong Zhuo is also finished!
The Xiliang generals thought that Zhang Xiu's words were reasonable, and the knife was already hanging over their heads, and they were not allowed to choose.
The general of Xiliang ordered the army to spread out, surrounded by long contradictory cards, and archers were hidden in the middle.
This was a very basic infantry defensive cavalry formation, and if the cavalry clashed, they would suffer heavy losses.
Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, went southwest when the Xiliang army set up a formation.
Zhang Xiu couldn't see any chance of winning, and he was alone!
If it was someone else, Zhang Xiu could still try it, but the enemy commander was Liu Fan.
A seemingly young, but battle-hardened old spicy general. He marched his troops to the north, thousands of miles away, and it was impossible not to know the advantages and disadvantages of the cavalry.
"Surround the Xiliang infantry, take the unit as a team, and throw arrows at the Xiliang infantry formation. No command, no impact. The Xiliang infantry was stationed in the open field, isolated and helpless, and could not hold out for long. ”
Guan Yu ordered to his subordinates.
"No!"
After the Sima of each department received the order, a team of 1,000 people marched hundreds of paces away from the Xiliang infantry on horseback.
This Xiliang infantry is like a piece of meat. If you swallow it in one bite, you may choke. Tearing it apart first and biting it off slowly is the safest way to eat meat.
Guan Yu commanded the soldiers and horses to control the distance, and the pegasus was thrown.
Bursts of arrows rained down on the Xiliang cavalry camp.
The soldiers in front of the Xiliang army who resisted the shield could still resist, and those who did not have a shield could only resign themselves to fate.
The bow holding rate of the Xiliang infantry army was less than one-tenth, and it was simply unable to carry out an effective bow counterattack.
For riding and archery, Liu Fan has always attached great importance to it, and the soldiers and horses under his command, whether they are riding horses or bending bows, are all horseback riding and bow-bending people.
The Xiliang infantry suffered unspeakably under the blows of the ranger bows and arrows.
This tactic has the characteristics of a nomadic people, but also has the style of the Central Plains.
General Xiliang understands that this is no different from washing his neck and killing him.
Under the catastrophe, the general of Xiliang ordered the army to attack the Guan Yu cavalry.
Survival in death is the only way to go.
After the order was delivered, the formation of the Xiliang army suddenly split, and a group of Xiliang infantry rushed towards Guan Yu's cavalry with weapons.
"The trapped beast is still fighting, dying, and struggling! Order the divisions to shoot while retreating. When the enemy retreats, our army advances again. ”
Guan Yu Danfeng raised his eyes and ordered his subordinates.
The Xiliang infantry wanted to stick up, and the Guan Yu cavalry used the maneuver of the cavalry to retreat, and while retreating, they shot at the pursuers.
A two-legged one will definitely not be able to outrun a four-legged one. The Xiliang infantry finally pulled in, and was immediately thrown away by the war horses.
Tired and out of breath, not to mention, I have to eat a rain of arrows.
Gradually, it was getting dusk.
In the western sky, the sunset pressed against the earth like a trail of blood, and the reckless wasteland gradually dimmed, looking more lonely and bleak in the twilight, and the air seemed to freeze, but it was filled with a choking scorching smell and a heavy smell of blood.
Corpses are piled up all over the field.
The Xiliang infantry advanced, and the Guan Yu cavalry retreated. The Xiliang infantry retreated, and Guan Yu's cavalry pursued.
Nearly 30,000 Xiliang infantry were consumed on this battlefield little by little.
An hour later, it was getting dark. The moon cleared the thick clouds and slowly crawled out. Shine the earth with its bright moonlight. The earth was quickly shrouded in a layer of silver-gray, which also gave a faint light to the dark night.
At this time, Guan Yu gave an order: "Zhou Cang, it's time for you to perform!"
"No!"
Zhou Cang responded excitedly.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed into battle.
The heavy cavalry had been storming the cavalry, and for the first time, they had launched an assault on the infantry.
The results are clear.
Like a torrent of iron armor, it pushes forward.
Those exhausted Xiliang soldiers were directly knocked away by the heavy armored cavalry.
The heavy cavalry used the spears in their hands to kill one bloody path after another.
The Xiliang infantry was overwhelmed by the heavy cavalry.
Their hearts have collapsed, and both men and horses are invulnerable, let alone exhausted now, even at their peak, there is nothing they can do.
Seeing that the time had come, Guan Yu ordered all the cavalry under his command to change to war horses, and rushed towards the Xiliang infantry with spears, ready to give them the final blow.
The Xiliang infantry had resisted before and broken through, but to no avail.
At the moment when Zhang Ji and Dong Yue led their troops to advance rapidly and entered the canyon, the Xiliang infantry was destined not to survive.
After another hour, Guan Yu put an end to this battle!
After the battle, he ordered the soldiers and horses to count the arrows and prepare to rest.
On the second day, Guan Yu did not clean the battlefield, let alone bury the body.
After burying the pot and cooking in the early morning, he immediately led the ride to Luoyang City.
Because Liu Fan led Xu Huang and the cavalry to Luoyang as early as yesterday.
……
In the corpse town east of Luoyang, Liu Fan marched here last night and was stationed here to rest.
The corpse town is the ancient Xihao. It is only a step away from Luoyang City.
Early in the morning, as soon as Liu Fan ordered his troops to prepare for the march, the army and scouts under his command brought him two pieces of news.
The first is that Sun Jian led his soldiers and horses last night and arrived at Luoyang City. Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were originally only 3,000 left.
But the scout told him that Sun Jian led a full 5,000 soldiers and horses.
The second is Gucheng in the west of Luoyang, where tens of thousands of people gathered to fight a great battle with thousands of Xiliang soldiers.
Why fight? You don't need to think about it to know that the actions of the Xiliang soldiers have caused public outrage.
The people rallied and wanted to resist.
But on one side are the unarmed people, and on the other side are the vicious Han and Hu miscellaneous soldiers.
Without thinking, Liu Fan ordered the army to prepare to bypass the Beibi Mountain in the north of Luoyang City and gallop to the aid of Gucheng.
"Xu Chu! I got the news that Sun Jian obtained the national artifact, the jade seal of the country, and wanted to escape with the jade seal of the country. Thou hast led a thousand dragon finches to intercept thee. ”
When he was about to arrive in Luoyang, Liu Fan ordered Xu Chu.
If Liu Fan's expectations are good, Sun Jian must have obtained the heirloom jade seal again.
When he marched westward, he destroyed tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry, which took too much time, causing Sun Jian to take the lead.
All the people are in misery, Luoyang is empty, and the country is in misfortune!
Liu Fan thinks that the people are much more important than the jade seal, but the jade seal, Liu Fan asked Xu Chu to try to fight!
