Chapter 171: Le Wenqian won his first victory, and the three lieutenants were eager to make meritorious contributions
Someone beside Li Meng once followed Dong Zhuo to the foot of Bishan Mountain to greet the Son of Heaven, and immediately said: "Captain, this person is the person who is fighting against General Hu at the foot of Bishan!" ”
"Oh?" The corners of Li Meng's mouth twitched a few times.
Since Niu Fu, Dong Min, and Dong Yue are three people who are related to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's most trusted person is Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen's martial arts are quite good, although Li Min is arrogant, he doesn't dare to say that he can beat Hu Zhen. It was precisely because of Hu Zhen's status in the army that after that day, Lejin's name spread throughout Dong Zhuo's army.
Before leaving the city today, Hua Xiong once made a lot of nonsense, as if he wanted to have fun and get into bad luck.
In terms of martial arts alone, he Li Meng is not Huaxiong's opponent, if it is on the plain, Li Meng feels that he is worthy of this pleasure with his clever riding skills, but now thousands of people are crowded in the shallows by the river, it is better to go first.
For some reason, although he saw Le Jin rushing and killing repeatedly, and repeatedly beheading his subordinates under the knife, Li Mengqiang held down his fighting spirit and gathered manpower to break through.
But his horse was too conspicuous, and among the chaotic army, Le Jin could see Li Meng's position at a glance, so while the killing was rising, Yu Guang kept looking at Li Meng's movements, quietly approaching.
Whoever is a general, unless there are special circumstances, once the two armies join forces, they must be accompanied by escorts.
At this time, Li Meng had twenty henchmen and knights guarding him, and like Le Jin, there were also more than a dozen sword and shield hands faintly protecting him in the center. Forced to twenty steps away, Li Meng noticed something, and immediately shouted: "Order, break through at all costs!" ”
Dong Zhuojun is mostly an old pawn, and the order is forbidden, Li Mengjun ordered, and the knights under his command were all like crazy demons, regardless of casualties, and broke through to the front. One horse falls, one horse follows, and the cavalry changes foot soldiers, and this kind of loss is not taken care of now. The forest corridor has become a Shura field, and countless dead on both sides have been killed, corpses are strewn all over the ground, and blood flows down the terrain to the shallows, gradually dyeing it red.
Seeing that the encirclement was broken layer by layer, Li Meng, who saw hope, immediately tightened the reins and shouted: "Kill out!" ”
Suddenly, a shout came: "Dong will leave!" ”
Li Meng turned around, but saw Le Jin snatching a horse and rushing towards him.
"Block him!" Li Meng shouted, and dozens of Dong Qi turned their heads and rushed towards Le Jin.
Lejin's family was not wealthy, he had never practiced riding in his early years, and in the face of dozens of Dong cavalry rushing over, he was almost knocked off the horse with just one face, so he sighed: "Hateful! ”
Dong Qi was determined to break through, regardless of Lejin, he caught up with Li Meng again and rushed out.
Li Meng got out of the encirclement, walked halfway through the avenue in the forest, looked around, and roughly saw that half of the cavalry had been lost, and said bitterly: "If you don't take revenge, you will be a Liangzhou athlete in vain!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the golden drum sounded loudly.
In the Lejin Division, there was a Xiandeng camp that expanded to 400 based on the 'Xiandeng Dead Soldiers' brought from Yingchuan, and these 400 dead soldiers stayed in the forest under the arrangement of Xi Zhong and waited for the opportunity to move, in order to deal a heavy blow to the enemy. At this time, seeing the remnants of the Dong army breaking through, Xi Zhong ordered the drumming, and four hundred Xiandeng soldiers poured out of the forest, attacking and killing with long weapons such as spears and hooks.
......
......
The twilight is thick, and Xu Chu and Le Jin converge.
When he received the good news, Xu Chu was happy and worried. The good news is that Lejin defeated Li Meng's thousand cavalry with a battle loss ratio of nearly 1 to 1, and captured nearly 100 Dong cavalry, and more than 400 war horses. It can be said that this is an exceptionally rare big victory. Worried about the combat effectiveness shown by Dong Zhuo's cavalry, he was loyal to lure the enemy, and every step of the whole plan was almost perfect, Li Meng still escaped. not only escaped, but also lost many of Lejin's pawns.
The configuration of the generals, in addition to the Chinese army, is the best in the Lejin Division, with excellent armor and soldiers, Rao is so, compared to the soldiers and horses sent by Dong Zhuo to plunder, it is still a little worse in terms of elite.
"Wenda, Boxu, you take someone to bury the soldiers on both sides who died in the battle, and ...... the other, forget it." Xu Chu wanted to talk about compensating the fallen soldiers, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
In troubled times, life is 'as cheap as a dog', and not everyone who recruits has a record of name and place of origin, and at present, Xu Chu's ability cannot be exhaustive. Xu Chu is not a completely cold-blooded and cruel person, nor is he a compassionate philanthropist, in the final analysis, he is still doing his best.
After the war, the heavy smell of blood diluted the joy of everyone present for the victory in the first battle, and when the wind was cold in the evening, Xu Chu pulled the placket casually and said: "The two armies fought against each other on the plain, the cavalry was unparalleled, Dong Zhuojiu operated in Liangzhou, and the cavalry under his command was even more elite, and Qing and others should not be taken lightly." The Captain of the Music School suffered heavy losses, and I intend to take the Captain of the Music School as the main department, and select 2,000 foot soldiers as the deputy to attack Liang County, who is willing to go with them? ”
The crowd was excited, and the generals asked for battle.
Xu Chu glanced at everyone and named three people - Wu Kuan, Liu Chong, and Zhai Rong.
These three people were recruited from Kong Ling's army. On that day, after Xu Chu and Cao Cao marched into Liangxian and Yuyuan Pass respectively, Kong Ling soon learned the news. Because Cao Cao sent people to say Xiang for several days, these three people were also a firm 'main battle faction', so after the army started, they immediately made a decision and decided to follow Xu Chu to Liang County to rebel, and caught up with Xu Chu shortly after he sent his troops.
Among the three, Wu Kuan was originally Cao Peng, a soldier of the Lu State, and Liu Chong and Zhai Rong were both from Runan. Of Kong Ling's 40,000 soldiers, nearly half were state soldiers left by Huang Wan, and the other half were from Runan, Lu, Liang and other places. Lu Guo and Liang Guo respectively sent their own soldiers Cao over, and were later listed as captains by Kong Ling; Because Runan is a large county in Yuzhou, it has 37 counties under its jurisdiction, accounting for more than one-third of the entire Yuzhou, and Runan is still Yuan Shao's hometown, and the voice of support for Yuan Shao to fight Dong is relatively high, so he sent three generals to serve Kong Ling at once. In the Han system, the number of soldiers led by a lieutenant varied, ranging from as few as 1,000 to 5,000, and as many as 5,000 or 6,000, but usually around 2,000 or 3,000.
Wu Kuan had 4,000 Lu soldiers, and Liu Chong and Zhai Rong each had 3,000 Runan soldiers, and they brought out a quarter of Kong Ling's army at once.
Among the three, Liu Chong looked the most fierce, he heard Xu Chu call his name, and said happily: "Don't worry, I will not fail in my mission!" ”
Previously, Kong Ling and Li Min were defeated by Dong Jun in Lunshi and Yangcheng, and they shrank in the city and did not dare to take their heads, which greatly hit the morale of Liu Chong and other generals, and then many things happened that were unfavorable to Kong Ling, causing them to feel that there was really no future for following Kong Ling. Now that Xu Chu has just entered the territory of Yin, Henan, Lejin has taken the lead, which not only dilutes their 'fear' of Dong Zhuojun, but also makes them quite red.
So after Liu Chong finished speaking, Wu Kuan said: "The Dong army is newly defeated, the morale is low, and it is difficult for the cavalry to perform in the siege battle. Prince, Kuan has a reluctant request, and I hope to agree. ”
"Captain Wu, please speak." Xu Chu touched his chin.
Wu Kuan said: "Please give the order of the prince and the marquis, and the three of us will attack Liang County, as for Captain Le, he has just gone through a big battle and still needs to rest, so it is really not suitable to attack the city." ”
Xu Chu hesitated.
Wu Kuan and other three lieutenants have no reputation in history, although they say that 'the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated', but after all, they will face Xu Rong, who has defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao in history. In case Wu Kuan and others lose, Lejin's victory will be in vain.
