Chapter 185: Jin Liangjun VS Jia Xu (2)
The smile on Niu Fu's face did not disappear, but it froze instantly, because at the moment when the more than 1,000 infantry of the Central Army fell to the ground, the front team of the Xiliang cavalry sounded a large poignant horse roar, more than 1,000 Xiliang horses were nailed to the ground by spears more than six feet long, and the more than 1,000 war horses lay on the ground, stumbling up the follow-up cavalry attack, followed by more than 1,000 cavalry The five or six thousand cavalry could not stop the momentum of the charge, and the war horses under the crotch were tripped by the war horses that fell to the ground in front of them, and they all turned over and fell to the ground, and those cavalry also fell off their horses. The central saber soldiers, who rushed forward quickly, were killed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Huang Zhong, who originally commanded the infantry to cross the river, saw that Niu Fu wanted to bully the seemingly weak infantry of the Central Army with the powerful Xiliang cavalry, so he let 2,000 spearmen charge forward, and those spearmen ran forward while putting two eight-foot spears together, and when the momentum of the Xiliang cavalry charge could not be contained and could not be stopped, the two thousand spearmen inserted the assembled one-foot six-foot spear diagonally and deeply into the mud, forming a dense spear formation, and the more than 1,000 Xiliang forward cavalry were charging wantonly. By the time they saw the glittering array of spears, it was too late to dodge.
Those pikemen seemed to be knocked to the ground by the war horses of the Xiliang cavalry or slashed to the ground by the sabers of the Xiliang cavalry, but in fact, it was these vigorous spearmen, while the Xiliang war horse was pierced by the spear's huge body, they suddenly fell to the ground and crawled back, which was what Jin Liang had trained them every day in the past two months, when they encountered the cavalry, they used their spears to break it, and the spears could only be used once, and they hit the opponent's horses with one blow, and after curbing the momentum of the opponent's cavalry charge, the front row of pikemen quickly retreated. The pikemen in the rear row deal with the enemy cavalry that charges again.
After thousands of precursor cavalry fell off their horses. The other Xiliang cavalry who rushed fiercely felt a panic in their hearts. There was a slight fluctuation in Sen Ran's formation, but the backbone of these Xiliang cavalry, those middle and senior generals, had followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and they had experienced a more dangerous battle than this, and they retreated unharmed, they quickly restrained their panicked subordinates, reorganized the camp, and decided to rush and kill again, but this time. They were much more cautious, slowing down their sprint to avoid being taken advantage of by the pikemen of the Central Army.
At this time, the 20,000 crossbowmen driven by the Central Army had already rushed to the south bank, and under the command of Huang Zhong, Cao Xing, and Hao Zhao, the three marksmen generals, they threw them into the Xiliang cavalry formation. Although the Xiliang cavalry boasted that they were iron cavalry, the real men and horses were covered with iron armor and horse armor, which can be called iron cavalry, which can only be seen in Dong Zhuo's flying bear army, like Niu Fu's cavalry, there are not even a hundred iron cavalry, almost all the cavalry are wearing leather armor and horses without protection, under the rain of arrows from the well-trained and well-arrayed 20,000 crossbowmen of the Central Army. They have all become living targets, not people who have been shot off their horses. The horse was shot and fell to the ground, and for a while, the Xiliang cavalry was in a mess.
The Xiliang cavalry, who had escaped the rain of arrows, was gathered by generals at all levels and prepared to launch a charge against the archers of the Central Army, but they found that the 10,000 pikemen of the Central Army were already guarding in front of the crossbowmen, and the cold light and sharp sharp and dense group of spearmen made them shudder. Just when the Xiliang cavalry was hesitating whether to fight and die more than a thousand more horses to break through the spear array, in the upstream direction of the south bank of Qinshui, smoke and dust rose heavily, and a cavalry rolled in, looking at the smoke and dust rising from the sky, there seemed to be thirty or forty thousand horses.
Jia Xu squinted his eyes and took a slight look, and knew that this was Jin Liang's usual trick, so that the horses were tied with branches, and used the billowing smoke and dust to confuse the enemy in front of them, making the enemy flee without a fight, in fact, the total number of cavalry was just over 10,000.
As the first general, riding a horse and wielding a big axe, it was Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, the generals under Jin Liang.
It turned out that he was ordered by General Jin Liang to go to the narrow place upstream of Qinshui to block the river, and then took advantage of the shallow river to lead 10,000 cavalry to cross the river and rush to Hanoi City non-stop. Xu Huang waved the big axe, led two thousand Hun elite cavalry to the head, and rushed towards the rear team of the Xiliang cavalry that was already in chaos. The 30,000 Xiliang cavalry have been assassinated by more than 2,000 spearmen of the Central Army, more than 3,000 have been beheaded by the Central Saber Soldiers because of falling from their horses, and more than 6,000 people have died under the repeated shooting of the 20,000 crossbowmen of the Central Army. The remaining Xiliang cavalry collapsed and fled, Xu Huang led a thousand elite cavalry in hot pursuit, and those Xiliang cavalry who consciously couldn't escape rolled their saddles and dismounted, bowed to the ground, disarmed and surrendered, because they knew that the treatment and welfare of the Central Army were very good, and who was selling their lives these years is not selling.
On the other side, under the charge of the Flying Tiger Cavalry of the Central Army with Jin Liang, Dian Wei, and Wei Yue as tridents, Niu Fu's 10,000 pro-army was even more collapsed, and they fled one after another, not daring to fight with Jin Liang and others. Niu Fu shouted desperately in the formation, and later saw that his shouts could not suppress the fear of the Xiliang soldiers for Jin Liang, the killing god, so he waved his big knife and slashed and killed several fleeing soldiers in a row, but to no avail, at first it was just dozens of soldiers who fled, and then hundreds, thousands of soldiers fled. Niu Fu saw that he couldn't stop the collapse of morale, and in desperation, he had no choice but to flee to Hanoi City with Jia Xu under the escort of his own soldiers.
Jin Liang had already seen the cow Fu who was rough and fat and was swinging a knife to slash the Xiliang soldiers and wanted to stop the soldiers from escaping, he wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, and also wanted to use the captured Niu Fu to knock Dong Zhuo's bamboo pole again, seeing that Niu Fu wanted to escape back to the city, he hurriedly instigated the red rabbit horse under his crotch, waved the stone dragon knife in his palm, and rushed to kill in the direction where Niu Fu fled. Although the current Niu Fu is very unlucky, he has a cheap father-in-law, and the Xiliang soldiers look at Dong Zhuo's face and maintain a high loyalty to Niu Fu, which is very different from the situation when Niu Fu betrayed his relatives after Dong Zhuo's death, so Niu Fu's personal soldiers jumped on their horses and waved their knives to stop Jin Liang's pursuit of Niu Fu.
Those Niu Fu soldiers all felt a flash of red light in front of them, and they felt a trace of coolness in their necks, and then fell off their horses, and when they fell off their horses, their necks spurted out blood stains, it turned out that Jin Liang's stone dragon knife was too fast, faster than the speed of their blood flow.
"General, let's go!" Seeing that Jin Liang was unstoppable and rushed over, Hu He'er, the commander of Niu Fu's pro-army, thought that Niu Fu's martial arts would not be able to stop him, and he was grateful for Niu Fu's kindness to him in the past, and his brain was hot, and he shouted to Niu Fu. While swinging the spear. Fight against Jin Liang.
Jin Liang saw Hu He'er's yellow hair and green eyes. Knowing that he was of Hu descent and not of my ethnicity, he shouted: "Hu Gou should be killed!" ”
Jin Liang made a move in anger, the power of the stone dragon knife was much better than before, the spear in Hu He'er's hand felt a strong surge up, the tiger's mouth cracked, the spear was out of his hand, and Jin Liang's stone dragon knife was unhindered. Like flowing water, it was easy to take advantage of the situation, and cut off Hu Heer's head off the horse.
The other Xiliang soldiers were greatly frightened, Hu He'er, his brother Hu Che'er, and his cousin Hu Chi'er were called Dong Jun Sanhu, and they were rare fierce generals in Dong Zhuo's army, but they were not the enemies of Jin Liang under the rage.
"Little thief, take your life!" Niu Zuo, another member of the Niu Auxiliary Army, is Niu Fu's younger brother, taking advantage of Jin Liang's horse to kill Hu He'er and Dian Wei and Wei Yue have not yet followed. Swinging a spear and sneaking up from the side.
Niu Zuo's spear was about to stab Jin Liang, and the tip of the spear was less than an inch away from Jin Liang's back heart. Niu Zuo suddenly felt a strong surge into the spear, and the spear could no longer advance half a point.
Niu Zuo watched in horror, only to see Jin Liang holding the spear shaft with one hand, and shouted: "Let you sneak attack, let you be cool!" ”
Jin Liang actually held the spear shaft tightly with one hand, and lifted Niu Zuo, who was holding the spear shaft at the other end, Jin Liang swung the spear shaft, and drove the fat Niu Zuo to smash at those Xiliang soldiers who waved knives and raised guns to take the opportunity to kill and injure Jin Liang. Those Xiliang saw a huge black shadow smashing towards them, out of nature, they didn't want to, they waved their knives and guns, and stabbed at the black shadow, but wherever their knives and guns went, they didn't even touch Jin Liang's shadow, but they all fell on Niu Zuo.
Jin Liang's movements were too fast, Niu Zuo didn't expect to abandon the spear and run away, and he still clung to the spear tightly, but he was tragically hit by his own people five shots and four knives, one of which was slashing at his neck, Niu Zuo was already dead and couldn't die anymore, this kind of tragic and aggrieved death was exactly what Jin Liang said to make you cool.
Jin Liang threw Niu Zuo vigorously in the direction where Niu Fu fled, crossed a distance of several zhang, smashed over four or five Xiliang cavalry, and landed behind Niu Fu's horse with a bang. Niu Fu turned his head and saw his brother's miserable death, his liver and gall were broken, he stood on the spot, and he couldn't turn around and fight with Jin Liang at all, Jia Xu saw that Niu Fu was scared stupid by Jin Liang, and hurriedly rushed forward, waved his waist knife, and slashed at Niu Fu's mount's buttocks, the war horse was in extremely unbearable pain, and ran to the front with a smoke, which was the direction of Hanoi County, Jia Xu also slashed his mount's buttocks, the war horse was the same as Niu Fu's mount, the pain was unbearable, and he ran in the direction of Hanoi County regardless of it.
After Jin Liang killed all the Xiliang cavalry blocking the road and cleared the roadblocks in front, he saw that Niu Fu and Jia Xu had already run to the edge of Hanoi City, and the gate of Hanoi was wide open, and Niu Fu and Jia Xu were let in.
Jin Liang wanted to take the opportunity to lead the Flying Tiger Army to rush in, so he chased after him. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw that Niu Fu and Jia Xu had already entered the city, the city gate had been firmly closed, the drawbridge had been erected, and the city was raining arrows.
Jin Liang had just turned around, but he saw the smoke and dust rising in the direction of the Yellow River, and a group of men and horses rushed over, it turned out to be the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers sent by Niu Fu to patrol the Yellow River to prevent Jin Liang from smuggling. When they arrived at the battlefield, the 80,000 troops of the Central Army were already in full array, with a cold and glistening spear array in front, archers and crossbowmen ready to attack in the back, and hundreds of thunderbolts eager to try, and 20,000 elite horsemen waiting for an opportunity on both sides.
The commander of the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers was Li Su, Lu Bu's old friend, Li Su saw the central army from a distance, and saw Niu Fu's tens of thousands of troops either surrendering or dying, only Niu Fu and Jia Xu fled back to the city, he was frightened, and hurriedly led the army to evacuate to Hanoi County. Because most of the 10,000 Xiliang soldiers were cavalry, and they fled very quickly, Jin Liang wanted to pursue, but because his Flying Tiger Army and Xu Huang's cavalry were very tired in the battle just now, he had no choice but to give up the pursuit of Li Su and let him lead the army into the city.
When Li Su led 10,000 cavalry back to Hanoi City, and the Xiliang army had no defense force on the north bank of the Yellow River, Jin Liang ordered Zhang Jaw to lead 10,000 elite infantry soldiers to take the 500 warships brought by Qin Yi to go up the Yellow River, bypass Hanoi City, and start a sweep between Hanoi City and Kei Pass.
Niu Fu left only 3,000 men and horses in Keiguan, more than enough to defend the pass, insufficient attack, did not dare to come out to fight against Zhang Jaw, those who were previously broken by Niu Fu in the county town left behind only four or five hundred, Zhang Jaw 10,000 horses like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, the Xiliang forces between Hanoi City and Kei Pass were all swept away, and now Hanoi County is only left with the lonely Hanoi County City. Qin Yi commanded 2,000 Yellow River sailors composed of Yellow River fishermen and trained hard for two months to crisscross this section of the Yellow River, and captured all the boats, so as to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from crossing the river to meet him in Luoyang and Xingyang on the other side.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is constantly fighting in the bitter cold land of Xiliang. Never had experience in water warfare. I have never had the consciousness of fighting on the water. So much so that the Yellow River was controlled by the Central Army, and Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that if he wanted to build a shipbuilding and make a sailor, it was not easy to talk about it, the ship could not be built in a moment and a half, and the sailor could not be built in three or five days. Before the severe winter was frozen, the control of the Yellow River in the middle and lower reaches was still in the hands of Jinliang's Yellow River Sailors, who were temporarily in charge of Qin Yi, a native of Hedong who was born in a family of Yellow River fishermen. At present, there are 2,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, which is considered the strength of a brigade.
Jin Liangliu's subordinate Liu He led 10,000 auxiliary troops stationed in the nine county towns north of Qinshui to continue to clean up the hostile forces in those nine counties, while Zhang Jaw led 10,000 elite soldiers to continue to sweep other counties in Hanoi County and eliminate other hostile forces.
Jin Liang specially instructed Zhang Jaw to closely monitor the Sima family in Wen County, and if there was a slight change in the Sima clan, Zhang Jaw should immediately notify Jin Liang, and Jin Liang immediately dispatched troops to exterminate the Sima clan. Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, and elder brother, Sima Lang, are now both in Luoyang serving Dong Zhuo's puppet court. Sima's family seems to be the emperor of soil in Wen County, with thousands of soldiers. If they insist on following Dong Zhuo, Jin Liang must completely eradicate the Sima family if he wants to completely control Hanoi County and use it as a bridgehead against Dong Zhuo. However, the most important thing at the moment is to break the city of Hanoi. Jin Liang asked Bo Lucui, the commander of the Central Army who accompanied the army: "In the battle just now, what were the casualties of our army?" ”
Lu Cui had just finished counting, and he still remembered the numbers vividly, so he didn't read the booklet and said those sets of numbers: "Our army killed more than 2,600 people, most of them were front-row spearmen killed in the raid of the Xiliang cavalry, and our army was seriously injured more than 1,400 people. More than 3,500 people recovered from their injuries and were able to fight again. ”
Jin Liang frowned quietly, the casualties were bigger than he imagined, it seems that the Xiliang cavalry is really a rare elite soldier in the world: "In this way, the loss of our army in this battle has reached more than 4,000 people, so what about the loss of the Xiliang soldiers?" ”
Lu Cui replied: "Niu Fu led the army out of the city this time, trying to prevent our army from crossing the river, he was a little proud of the enemy, only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and also sent 10,000 to patrol the river, only 40,000 horses were put into battle, but most of these 40,000 horses were the Western Liang elite soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo Niu Fu from Liangzhou, and only a small part was recruited locally in Hanoi, so these 40,000 horses are worth more than 100,000 horses of ordinary princes." But Niu Fu never expected that our Central Army was more courageous, especially under the leadership of a peerless fierce general like the lord, the morale was like a rainbow, and the number was superior, and they could beat them to the ground. ”
Jin Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Road Master Bo, don't pat me on the back, tell me the actual situation first!" ”
Lu Cui saw that Jin Liang's expression was very indifferent, knowing that this lord was deeply self-aware, and he still had to get rid of his problem of being good at flattering and going to the top in the future, and do things in a down-to-earth manner, so he replied solemnly: "Of the 40,000 people in Niufu, only more than 6,000 people fled into Hanoi City from other city gates, and the remaining 33,000 people stayed here, of which about 15,000 were killed in battle or seriously injured and waiting to die, and the remaining 17,000 people were slightly injured, among these people, more than 8,000 were willing to join our central army, and the remaining 9,000 were silent. Surrender but not accept reorganization. ”
"How come there are so many people who are not willing to join our Central Army?" Jin Liang was slightly frustrated.
"Lord Mingjian, the more than 9,000 soldiers are all from Liangzhou, all of them are veterans who follow Dong Zhuo, they are forced by the situation and want to live, so they disarm, but they are all worried about the Liangzhou family, and they still have a trace of loyalty to Dong Zhuo in their hearts, so they refuse to submit to our Central Army."
"Then send them to Han Hao to go to Tuntian." For this kind of guy who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, Jin Liang is unceremoniously.
Jin Liang asked Guo Jia, who was in charge of intelligence, "Feng Xiao, how many people are there in Hanoi County?" ”
Guo Jia replied: "Niu Fu brought only 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to Hanoi, but in order to resist our central army, he frantically recruited troops in Hanoi County, and recruited more than 62,000 people in a company. ”
Jin Liang said: "In this way, now the enemy army in Hanoi County is less than 60,000 elite soldiers in Xiliang, and less than 20,000 elite soldiers, which is much easier to deal with than before, it seems that we can take Hanoi City in one go this time." ”
Guo Jia sent secret agents in Hanoi, the more he knew about Jia Xu, the more jealous he became, and hurriedly advised: "Lord, if there is no Jia Xu here, my central army will naturally be able to take Hanoi lightly, but because Jia Xu is in charge, the lord must not underestimate the enemy." ”
Jin Liang said proudly: "Although Jia Xu Jia Wenhe is cunning and wise, how can we already know him very well, he will definitely fall into my hub." (To be continued.) )
