Maybe there are always coincidences in the world, maybe all this is the unpleasant return of the karmic wheel, or maybe it's just that Liu Xuewu's life is not good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His brother is in trouble, and it doesn't seem to be wrong to let his brother take the responsibility. Since ancient times, the eldest brother has been like a father, and it is reasonable for the son to repay the debt, although Liu Xuewu is not the boss, but he can't change the fact that the third brother of the little Liu Zhang.

The only thing that is hard to force is our commander-in-chief Zhang Liaozhang, this official position was appointed by Liu Xuewu to him, better than the emperor's general, at present, Liu Xuewu is still only a state pastor, so he made a commander-in-chief.

Zhang Liao, who was originally a little depressed and a little emotional about Liu Xuewu not taking him with him on this expedition, now learned that the Xiongnu and Xianbei allied forces of 200,000 were ready to attack Bingzhou, and his head was suddenly big, you must know that Liu Xuewu has always insisted on taking the route of elite soldiers and strong generals, resulting in not many troops in Bingzhou, and now Liu Xuewu has taken away most of the main force, and there are now only 30,000 defenders left in Bingzhou, including 10,000 cavalry, and 20,000 guards who have not been on the battlefield to detect the police.

The reason why Liu Xuewu did this was not that he thought that all the princes of the world would attack Dong Zhuo, and that as long as Zhang Liao and 10,000 black iron demon horsemen were stationed in Bingzhou, everything would be fine, but he missed this Xiongnu Xianbei invasion.

The only comfort to Zhang Liao is that Liu Xuewu has implemented the military service system in Yanmen over the years, and there are now nearly 80,000 retired soldiers on the record, so he hurriedly sent people to gather these retired men at home to form a new cavalry reserve that had been planned. Of course, there are some discrepancies between reality and the plan, and for various reasons, only 50,000 cavalry were assembled, many of whom were four or five years ago

Veterans who have been retired. Zhang Liao knew that he had no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and assigned the ordnance war horse to try to re-screen and distribute this mad lion iron horse. The people of Bingzhou are almost the same as the people of Xiliang, they all live in a harsh environment, and they are born to worship the strong, and the concept of respecting the strong is deeply rooted in everyone's heart. Zhang Liao, a native of the country, is most familiar with all this, so he has a big competition to select generals.

Zhang Liao stood on the podium of the school at this time, and gave a speech to the 50,000 wild lions and iron horsemen below: "You can win ten people as the captain, ten captains as centurions, five hundred fathers as princes, two princes as a thousand generals, five thousand generals as generals, and all the generals as the vanguard, and fight back the foreign barbarians together, and wait for the Hou Ye to triumph one by one." ”

Zhang Liao's move is to establish the backbone of the mad lion iron horse, three consecutive days of mighty competition began, a bit out of Zhang Liao's expectations, 50,000 veterans actually selected a thousand people are not bad, basically can live with him for a few rounds, especially the selected pioneer actually insisted on nearly 100 rounds in his hands. If Zhang Liao wasn't afraid that the two of them would be unable to hold back their hands and hit the real fire to cause all the damage, it was estimated that they would have to fight for many rounds.

"Haha, yes, yes, you are the main vanguard of our army as the commander of the Wild Lion Iron Cavalry, and I don't know what your name is." Zhang Liao patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him and said.

"Back to the commander-in-chief, I don't have a name, I was an orphan feeding horses to the horse stack since I was a child, so everyone calls me Brother Ma." The handsome young man said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Liao looked at the handsome young man in front of him with admiration, and laughed: "How is the man nameless, I listened to Brother Ma, and when you fought just now, there was a little more flexibility in your domineering, but the moves were a little less fierce against the enemy." I'll give you a name, with the horse as the surname, with the name of Ling, the word Balin, I hope you can ride the horse like an overlord in the future and come to the world. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Xie gave the name." At this time, Ma Ling knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Liao and bowed.

Taking advantage of the high morale, Zhang Liao's partial general hurriedly raised his head and shouted: "Brothers are of one heart, fight back the barbarians, and defend our homeland." ”

Immediately afterwards, 50,000 people shouted in unison: "Brothers are united, fight back the barbarians, and defend our homeland." ”

The preparations for the war are in full swing on the side of Bingzhou, but Liu Xuewu, who has just conquered Hanyang County, is also in a dilemma. Li Ru's plan to Dong Zhuo must be poisonous, move the capital to Chang'an, let the princes of the world fight for Luoyang, and free up their hands to turn back and counterattack Liu Xuewu. What does this mean, this shows that Liu Xuewu's weight in the minds of Li Ru and Dong Zhuo is far more threatening than that of the princes in the world, does this make Liu Xuewu happy or sad.

Then he received 200,000 troops from the Xiongnu Xianbei coalition to attack Bingzhou, which completely dispelled Liu Xuewu's plan to continue to march into Liangzhou. Hurriedly asked Duan Fei to bring someone to take over the military affairs of Hanyang County, and let him defend Hanyang with Xu Huang, while he himself left the Black Iron Demon Horse to Duan Fei, and returned to Bingzhou with more than 20,000 defenders of Hanyang who had been reorganized.

Why do you want to bring the newly reorganized Hanyang defenders back to Bingzhou, here is Liu Xuewu's plan, these 20,000 Hanyang defenders were originally Dong Zhuo's subordinates, although they were absorbed, but they couldn't prevent someone from secretly colluding with Dong Zhuo. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, so taking away the 20,000 Hanyang troops can also play a role in the defense of Hanyang County. And it can also be used to resist the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and the combat ability of the Xiliang wolf ride is not vegetarian.

Just as Liu Xuewu was rushing back to Bingzhou, Zhang Liao's vanguard force, the Wild Lion Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of Ma Ling, had already started a war with the Xiongnu Xianbei in Yanmen.

"General, we have successfully moved the herdsmen outside Yanmen Pass to the areas of Shanwu and Woyang." A thousand people will report to the pioneer Malinch.

"Well, our army is ready to let go and fight those foreign barbarians." Ma Ling said firmly.

That being said, Ma Ling, who raised horses since childhood, is most familiar with horses, and is also the most familiar with how to attack the weaknesses of horses.

And at this time, the Yanmen closed and placed more than 800 neat and tidy, if all of them were fired together, it was more than 49,200 arrows, projected down like a drizzle, the power can be said to be the real 10,000 arrows at once, the only disadvantage is that it takes a long time to load the arrows, generally one to three people to control, one person is responsible for loading the arrows, one person aims at the target, one person uses both hands to launch the operating lever. In addition to this, there are also two hundred siege ballistae that have been upgraded to attack speed and range, siege ballistas.

However, at this time, he was arranged to guard the Yanmen Pass. Thanks to Qin Shi Huang here, if he hadn't built the Great Wall, it would have been difficult to protect the state now, and now with the Great Wall, as long as the Yanmen Pass is guarded, Yanmen County will be guarded, and the north gate of the entire state will be guarded.

Of course, some people may say that they have been beaten to the doorstep by others, and they have not taken the initiative to attack. I really want to say speechless, in the Han Dynasty with inferior troops to fight a field war with the grassland peoples, this is completely the rhythm of looking for death, the grassland cavalry is as powerful as the previous chapter said about the annihilation of He Chong's department, maybe it will be more powerful, you can imagine why the strong Qin Shi Huang had to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu.

Although the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, there is always a corresponding method of war for the Huns who have fought against the Han for hundreds of years. In this regard, it is enough to see that the long-standing Xiongnu people have a deeper heritage than the Xianbei people who have risen recently. The Huns dragged the chariot with cavalry from a distance, accelerating in the direction of the city gate, when approaching the city. Run on both sides separately, and the car slams into the city gate under the action of force, as long as the speed is enough, there is no city gate that cannot be broken, at most several times. This method was summed up by the Huns with the lives of an unknown number of generations.

Practical and convenient. The Xianbei people are good at traps and the like, and the two complement each other, so that the traps prepared by Ma Ling in advance against the cavalry only kill a small number of enemies, and most of the enemies are preparing to attack the city. For the defenders of Yanmen Pass at this moment, this will be an unprecedented fierce battle.

The enemy's attack on the first day was extremely ferocious, although the Xiongnu Xianbei cavalry suffered heavy losses under the three-stage attack of the drizzle crossbow machine, but this further aroused the blood of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people. The gate of Yanmen Pass has been knocked open several times, there is really no way, Ma Ling learned Liu Xuewu's previous method of dealing with Xianbei siege, and sealed the city gate with red bricks in sacks. It's a pity that the speed and strength of the rushing car were too fast and too fierce, and the red brick sack wall that had just been erected was instantly knocked down.

Both sides may have invested their forces in snatching the city gates, fighting in the narrow passages of the city gates, one dead, and the other behind them, running like human meat mixers. It was not until dark that the Xiongnu and Xianbei stopped attacking the city, and the land under the city gate at this time was at least a few meters underground by blood.

War is cruel, human life is worthless, foreigners will not tell you one-on-one fair heads-up, there is just a group battle, a scuffle, either you die or I live, there is no tolerance at all, maybe you are a little careless, the next moment you don't have to pay attention anymore, because you are dead, as for what it feels like to be dead, I don't know, I think you should ask the so-called God! No, you are an Oriental, and God may not be able to answer you, so it is recommended to ask the Eighteen Halls of the Yama King, or the bull head and horse face.

The damned war continues, and this time the Huns seem to see hope for success, completely desperate for an offensive. The bloody battle of Yanmen Pass has been going on for seven days, and as the guard of Yanmen Pass, Ma Ling is no longer angry and sad about the death of his familiar companions at this moment, because he has long been numb.

Watching the Yanmen Gate clear out the thousands of corpses every night, there are Xiongnu, Xianbei and our heroic Yanmen defenders, the only thing to do is to classify them, so that the dead soldiers can return to their hometowns and settle in the ground, and the corpses of those Xiongnu and Xianbei people are thrown into a pile, silently go up to light a fire, send them to see the gods they believe in, and then collect the ashes in humanitarianism and hang them down the city tower with ropes, and someone will always come to retrieve them the next morning.

The original vanguard army of more than 20,000 wild lions and iron cavalry, and nearly 10,000 police defenders, seven days a week, the rest is indeed only more than 10,000 people, and the loss is more than half. Of course, the Xiongnu and Xianbei also suffered heavy losses, and fought bloody battles with the city gate under the drizzle of crossbow arrows, with losses of nearly 30,000 people. For the Xiongnu and Xianbei, it is completely acceptable for the 100,000 army to lose 30,000 people, as long as they are allowed to attack the Yanmen Pass, they will definitely gain many, many times more than they lose.

But for the current Yanmen defenders, it is a heavy casualty, maybe it can hold out for five days, maybe it can hold on for four days, but Ma Ling himself knows that in the current situation, the most losses are in the city gate and the Huns fighting the mad lion iron cavalry, and most of the remaining more than 10,000 people are second-rate police defenders, once the mad lion iron cavalry is exhausted, it is still two to say whether Yanmen Pass is still here, so as long as it can hold on for another three days, thank God.

Just when Yanmen was waiting for reinforcements and waiting for it to be close to despair, the reinforcements finally arrived on the eighth day, and Liu Xuewu led the newly reorganized Hanyang cavalry to Yanmen Pass. According to the original plan, Zhang Liao brought 10,000 black iron demon cavalry to help, but Liu Xuewu was afraid that there would be others to attack Bingzhou again, so he asked Zhang Liao to stand still, and he brought the original Xiliang wolf cavalry and now the 20,000 cavalry called Hanyang Iron Cavalry to the rescue.
