As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, he saw that the upstream direction of Bianshui was dusty, and more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry rushed down along Bianshui, like a black 'colored' huge wave, surging

Cao Cao's face turned pale: "My mouth is really a crow's mouth"

Guan Yu and Liu Bei were still dizzy, obviously not recovering from the water just now, Zhang Fei saw that the situation was not good, so he asked his corporals to protect Liu Bei and Guan Yu to retreat with Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Hong, Zhang Fei stepped on the black horse, brandished the Zhangba snake spear, followed Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin and others, and led the remnants of Cao soldiers to meet them, trying to block Xu Rong's Xiliang cavalry, so that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others could retreat.

Xu Rong (?) -192), a native of Xiangping, Liaodong (a person from Xuanwu in Liaodong, Youzhou), was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and a general of Dong Zhuo. He once defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian militarily. After Dong Zhuo's death, he attached himself to the imperial court, and was later ordered by Wang Yun to fight the Liangzhou army, and died in battle with Li Dao and Guo Yan. was originally a Zhonglang general, and he once recommended Gongsun Du, who was born in the same county, to Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong.

Defeat Cao Cao's independent pursuit army at the Battle of Bianshui, and Sun Jian's forces at the Battle of Liangdong. After Dong Zhuo's death, he was ordered by Situ Wang Yun to fight with Li Dao and Guo Yan, and died in the Battle of Xinfeng, and died in the chaos. Xu Rong, an excellent commander in the early years of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, once defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Xu Rong is a native of Xiangping, Liaodong (Liaoyang, Liaoning). Although it is believed in the "Zizhi Tongjian" that he is a native of Xuansu County (now Fushun, Liaoning). But in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Gongsun Du", we can find such content, "Gongsun Duzi Shengji, this Liaodong Xiangping people also." Xu Rong of the same county is Dong Zhuo Zhonglang general, and the recommended degree is Liaodong Taishou. That is to say, Gongsun Du and Xu Rong are fellow villagers, and Gongsun Du is from Xiangping, Liaodong, so Xu Rong can only be from Xiangping, Liaodong.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Rong is a third-rate general who was handed over several times by Xiahoudun and beheaded under the horse, but there are often discrepancies between romance and history.

Xu Rong in history can be described as a famous fierce man. His record is jaw-dropping. Although his records are few, they are enough to make him one of the first-line generals of the Three Kingdoms.

In the second year of the Yonghan Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty [191 AD], Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, led the troops of Yuzhou to fight for Zhuo. Zhuo sent Rong and Li Meng out to plunder. Rong Yu is strong in Liang, fights, breaks the strong, and the raw poultry Yingchuan guards Li Min too much, and cooks it.

In the second year of Yonghan in the Eastern Han Dynasty [191 AD], Sun Jian moved to the east of Tunliang, and was defeated by Rong, and recovered the scattered soldiers into Tunyang.

Cao Gong's army entered Xingyang Bianshui, met Rong, fought with him, and the public army was defeated.

After the third year of the Yonghan Dynasty of the Eastern Han Dynasty [192 AD], Zhuo Zhu was changed to serve the Han Dynasty. Li Dao and Guo Yan rebelled and attacked Chang'an. When Situ Wang heard this, he sent Zhuo to attack Rong and Hu Zhen in Xinfeng. Glory died in battle, and the people surrendered.

In the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty (190), Cao Cao gathered the 18th Route Army and vowed to eliminate Dong Zhuo. However, due to the fact that the allied forces fought separately within themselves, although Lianke was in charge of the water, the tiger prison occupied Luoyang.

But it began to stagnate. Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao said: "Raise volunteers to punish the riots, the public has been united, why do you have any doubts!" To make Dong Zhuo lean on the royal family, according to the old capital, to the east to the world, although there is no way to do it, it is still enough to suffer. Now the palace is burned, the Son of Heaven is robbed, the sea is shaken, and I don't know where to go. Then he led the troops to the west, and according to Chenggao, Zhang Miao sent Wei Zi to divide his troops with him. Entering Xingyang Bianshui, Yu Zhuo general Xuansu Xu Rong, fighting, defeating the army, being hit by the arrow, and the horse was wounded. From Brother Hong to the horse and the, the is not acceptable. Hong said: "There can be no flood in the world, and there can be no king." Then he followed the and fled at night. Rong saw that there were few generals in the exercise, and he fought all day, saying that the sour jujube was not easy to attack, and he also led the troops back.

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian also led the troops of Yuzhou to fight for Zhuo. Zhuo sent Xu Rong and Li Meng out to capture and plunder. Rong Yu is strong in Liang, and the battle is broken, and the raw poultry Yingchuan is too guarded by Li Min and cooked. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Dong Zhuo" Sun Jian moved to the east of Liangdong and was greatly attacked by the Zhuo army, and Jian and dozens of cavalry broke out. Stick to the red curtain, but take off the curtain to make the ancestors close to it. Zhuo rode to compete for Mao, so he was spared from the middle road. Mao is forced to dismount, and burns the pillar between the crown mounds, because of the grass. Zhuo Qi saw that around the number of weights, fixed the close feeling is the pillar, but go. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Sun Jian" Xu Rong broke Sun Jian again this time and killed a Taishou, which shows that he is vicious and decisive. Sun Jian moved to Liangdong, was defeated by Zhuo's general Xu Rong, and recovered the scattered soldiers into Tunyang. Zhuo sent the eastern county Taishou Hu Zhen to ride 5,000 strokes, with Lu Bu as the cavalry governor. Zhen and cloth do not get along, strong attack, big break, and the capital of Huaxiong.

Yun Wenzhi is to send Zhuo so to attack Hu Zhen and Xu Rong in Xinfeng. Glory died in battle, and the people surrendered.

In the third year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (192 AD), Liang and the coalition army were infighting, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu of Bingzhou killed Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu persuaded Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo's troops, Wang Yun said: "This generation is not guilty, no." Later, Dong Zhuoyu rebelled against the warlords Li and Guo of Liangzhou at the instigation of Jia Xu, and Wang Yun hurriedly dispatched Hu Zhen and Xu Rong to organize the defense of Chang'an in Xinfeng (now northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi). It's a pity that because the imperial court had just quelled the civil strife, Wang Yun and Lu Bu were out of harmony again, and they couldn't effectively resist the Liangzhou army in a desperate battle in a hurry. The government army was defeated, Xu Rong was killed in Xinfeng, and Hu Zhen led the crowd to surrender to the enemy. 》

Xu Rong had seen the bravery of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other allied generals in the ambush just now, and knew that he was not an opponent, he probably saw that Hua Xiong was not an opponent either, so he asked Hua Xiong to follow him, being in the middle army, not to take risks in front of the battle, the situation was decided, and there was no need to engage in a fighting game.

Ordinary Xiliang cavalry are not Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan's opponents, the current dozens of Xiliang cavalry were killed on the spot by Guan Yu and others, but more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry rushed upstream, and the thick cavalry rushed into battle, not a few fierce generals could deal with the past, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan and others could not resist, and retreated step by step, and in the blink of an eye, the iron flow of Xiliang swallowed Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan and others.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Bao Xin and others did not dare to look back, and under the escort of Cao Hong, Le Jin and other generals, they fled in a hurry in the direction of Chen Liu.

Before they had run two miles, they saw a group of men and horses flying in front of them.

Cao Cao's soul was all gone, Bao Xin was terrified, and both of them cried and cried: "I'll wait for a break."

Xiahoudun has not yet met Cao's 'sex', his eyes are intact, very sharp, and he can see the banner of the man from a distance, and laughed: "Don't worry, the lord is Jin Liang, the general of the expedition to the south."

Cao Cao wiped his eyes, and sure enough, a red 'colored' banner with the golden word of Dou Da written on it, and a thousand-mile BMW like a fire dragon sat on top of the general, with an unusually burly figure, a halberd in the palm of his hand, domineering and not angry, it was Jin Liang Jin Xianting, the general of Zhengnan, the secretary of the Cabinet and the Ministry of War, and the deputy leader of the Dong Alliance.

Jin Liang looked at Cao Cao from afar surrounded by Cao Hong and Xiahoudun with a bloody face, Bao Xin, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu also followed behind Cao Cao, as well as thousands of remnants of soldiers who followed him, and he was very disappointed in his heart, this Cao Cao is really blessed with a great life, Xu Rong did not kill him in such a formation, and now there are so many people, it is inconvenient for him to start.

This time, Jin Liang stayed frustrated, Jia Xu assisted Gao Shun in the army to guard the camp and let Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Lu Fan follow him, Jin Liang reviewed the three strategists: "Cao Cao is very talented, and he will be a big trouble for our Central Army in the future, I want to take the opportunity to kill them, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia hurriedly admonished: "Lord, by all means, first of all, there are thousands of remnants in Cao Cao's army, and there are more than 20,000 Xiliang soldiers of Xu Rong behind Cao Jun, we can't guarantee the total annihilation of Cao's army, nor can we guarantee that we will annihilate the Xiliang army Our move to kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei will definitely spread out, and the other princes will be in danger and will definitely deal with us together, when the time comes, our central army will be attacked by the hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the Kwantung princes and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Xiliang, although our central army is brave and good at fighting, but it will not be able to resist the more, We have seen Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Zhang Miao form a unique line, and Yuan Shao began to discord, Yuan Shao relied on the four generations of the three princes of the former officials, the future expansion of the army must be very amazing, we can first support Cao Cao against Yuan Shao, weaken their strength against each other, and also help us quickly calm the world in the future"

Xu Shu and Lu Fan also said: "Lord, Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, not only will we not kill Cao Cao this time, but we will also save him, so that they can be grateful to the lord, so that they can use it for the lord."

Jin Liang shook his head lightly and said, "Cao Cao is very ambitious, not something we can control."

Xu Shu smiled slightly: "Since the lord can support Hu Chuquan to become the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu, use the Hun cavalry to fight against Xianbei, and also support Cao Cao and Liu Bei to fight against Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, although Cao Cao is very talented, he is just a dog raised by the lord" Xu Shu himself felt very strange, he just had an indescribable disgust and hatred for Cao Cao, as if Cao Cao was his enemy in his previous life.

Jin Liang looked up to the sky and laughed: "Then we will go and save this dog"

Jin Liang's forerunners were 14,000 'elite' cavalry, and the auxiliaries of these 'elite' cavalry were in the rear to tightly protect the baggage vehicles, and these 'elite' cavalry galloped forward under the leadership of Jin Liang, Zhang Liao and others, and Huang Zhong led the 16,000 'elite' cavalry behind them, closely following.

Jin Liang instigated the red rabbit horse, and after a while, he galloped to Cao Cao, and saw Cao Cao and Bao Xin were blood-stained and unkempt, and saw Liu Bei falling into the soup like a chicken, and a pity couldn't help but appear on his face, and he sighed to Cao Cao and Bao Xin: "Hey, I thought the two of you would wait for me for two 'days', but I didn't expect you to take the first step, hey, the lonely army is really a taboo for soldiers."

In fact, even if Cao Cao and Bao Xin waited for Jin Liang in the same place for two 'days', Jin Liang would find other reasons, fall behind them, and hand them over to Xu Rong to clean up, Jin Liang's original wishful thinking was that Cao Cao was unfortunately killed by Xu Rong, Jin Liang destroyed Xu Rong, and showed grace to the Cao family's talents, just to subdue a few of them, who knows that Cao Cao's life is still as big as in history, hey, let Wang Yue send a few people to mix in Xu Rong's army earlier, and assassinate Cao Cao while the chaos is over.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin glanced at each other, and apologized to Jin Liang insincerely, they smiled bitterly, it was they who were zealous, Jin Liang did not break his promise, they had nothing to say.

Liu Bei turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "General, my third brother is still trapped in the Xiliang army, and I beg the general to send troops to rescue my third brother."

Cao Cao also pleaded: "General, my brothers Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren are also trapped in the Xiliang army, Cao begs the general to send troops to help and rescue them."

Jin Liang smiled narrowly: "I saved their 'life' and was their life-saving benefactor, can you keep them under my account and obey their orders?" ”

Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other, and the two of them thought in their hearts that they would rather let Zhang Fei and the others die than let Jin Liang use them, but in this case, they didn't dare to say it in front of Guan Yu, Cao Hong, and Xiahoudun, so they had to smile and say: "If they can be saved back, let the general deal with it."

Jin Liang laughed and said: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, I just want that in the subsequent battle against Dong, you can keep pace with me" What is the point of reluctantly asking for Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan, who are in Jinying's heart and Cao Liu, it is better to plan a closer small alliance in the alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei said solemnly: "We are waiting for only the great general."

Jin Liang sent 2,000 men and horses to protect the remnants of Cao Cao and Bao Xin, and Jin Liang brought 28,000 troops to meet Xu Rong.

Yu Banxun set up a camp that could effectively restrain Xu Rongxi's cavalry, and protected thousands of remnants of Cao Cao and Bao Xin in the camp.

Bao Xin saw that Yu Ban calmly and calmly arranged the camp with strong barriers, and the 2,000 men and horses under Yu Ban were also as cautious and serious as Yu Ban, and couldn't help but sigh to Cao Cao: "Meng De, I'm afraid I'm really losing a general."

Cao Cao said helplessly: "Hey, it's too late to regret it now, Yu Ban has to be reused by Jin Liang, and he won't come back."

At this time, the three thousand remnants of the soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Zhang Fei, and Le Jin had been strangled by the Xiliang cavalry, leaving only Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Zhang Fei in a circle, relying on their superior martial arts, barely struggling, but they were all wounded.

Xu Rong saw that Jin Liang's 30,000 army was pressed up, so he left only 400 'fine' cavalry to continue to surround and kill Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Zhang Fei.

Xu Rong ordered the remaining more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry to meet Jin Liang's army, and the Xiliang cavalry was still the 2,000 ironclad cavalry, in the battle that ambushed Cao Bing just now, these two thousand ironclad cavalry had almost no casualties, but now they encountered Jin Liang's central army.

Jin Liang did not have ironclad cavalry, but he had a way of subduing ironclad cavalry.

Jin Liang and Zhang Liaoxun led 14,000 'elite' light cavalry to spread out on both sides, preparing to outflank them in a roundabout way.

Zhao Yun led two thousand pikemen to rush to the front of the formation, the spear was one foot and two feet long, the head was a sharp iron tip, and the tail was also sharpened into a sharp wooden tip, the pikemen inserted the tail of the spear into the soft sandy soil on the bank of the Bianshui River, the pikemen were all tall and strong, and inserted it hard, the tail was submerged into the ground four feet, and eight feet were still left, showing a forty-five degree angle, and the sharp iron tip was rushing in the direction of the Xiliang Iron Horse.

After the pikemen finished inserting their spears, they quickly retreated, and as they ran, they quickly drew the javelin behind their backs and prepared to shoot.

The 2,000 ironclad cavalry of the Xiliang Army, because they are wearing iron armor, are not conducive to riding and shooting, so they can only rely on the charging power of the ironclad cavalry to continue to rush forward, and because the war horse is wearing horse armor, they cannot change the direction at will when charging forward, otherwise it is very easy to be knocked down by the ironclad cavalry behind.

Although the ironclad cavalry in the front row had seen the cold light shining and extremely sharp spear array, they couldn't dodge, so they had to rush up the spear at a forty-five degree angle, piercing not the cavalry, but the horse wearing horse armor but not protecting the horse's belly, the sharp spear was broken by the huge momentum of the ironclad cavalry, and it also pierced the horse's belly, and more than a hundred Xiliang high-headed horses in the front row fell down violently, and when the cavalry fell from the horse, many cavalry fell in the second row of the gun array, Although they were heavily armoured, they were stabbed alive when they fell from their horses to the glittering spears that were firmly rooted in the ground.

The heavy cavalry of the first row fell, and the heavy cavalry of the second row could not stop the galloping momentum of the war horse, so they had to close their eyes and rush forward, the galloping war horse hooves were blocked by the corpses of the war horses in the first row, the horses lost their front hooves, the war horses fell to the ground, and the cavalry fell from the horses, even if they were not stabbed by the spears, they fell high to the ground, and they could not get up again.

There are also strong cavalrymen, relying on their equestrian skills to 'fine', past the corpses of the horses in the first few rows, but they can't avoid the gun array behind, the horse's belly is pierced by the spear, and the cavalry falls off the horse and falls in the dense and chilling spear array.

After the fall of five or six hundred Xiliang ironclad cavalry, the corpses of the war horses were piled up thickly, blocking the ironclad cavalry behind, they bumped into each other one by one, and there was a big chaos, Zhao Yun ordered the two thousand pikemen to all project the javelins behind them, and threw them into the chaotic ironclad cavalry formation, although they could not pierce the iron armor on the cavalry, but they could pierce the parts of their bodies that were not covered by the iron armor, and the parts of the war horses that were not covered by the horse armor.

Xu Rong saw the cold light and forest of guns from afar, and knew that the two thousand iron cavalry handed over to him by Dong Zhuo were going to be wiped out this time, Xu Rong felt a chill in his heart, and the four thousand heavily armed iron cavalry that Dong Xiangguo had carefully created was actually lost in half in his own hands, how should he explain to Dong Xiangguo?

Dong Zhuo created this ironclad heavy cavalry, that is, after Dong Zhuo, who took Jin Liang as an imaginary enemy, occupied Luoyang, he obviously felt the hostility of the princes around him, and he also felt the threat of the princes from all over the country to support the army and respect his Xiliang army, but most of the princes of Kwantung were infantry, Dong Zhuo did not put it in his eyes, he was most afraid of Jin Liang of Xiangyang, I heard that Jin Liang was also developing a large number of cavalry, especially when Jin Liang forced the landing of the Southern Xiongnu, Dong Zhuo was afraid of it, he felt that Jin Liang's ability to command the cavalry, The cavalry of the Central Army may have to suppress the Xiliang cavalry to fight Dong Zhuo in the future, so they will try their best to overshadow Jin Liang in armament.

When Dong Zhuo learned that Jin Liang's cavalry were all light cavalry, and then looked at the training in his 'elite' pro-army Flying Bear Army, hundreds of iron cavalry could defeat thousands of light cavalry, Dong Zhuo wanted to build more iron cavalry and use heavy iron cavalry to resist Jin Liang's light cavalry.

Prior to this, in history, the ironclad cavalry wearing iron armor and horse armor had never appeared on a large scale, because of the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Jin Liang, the ironclad heavy cavalry began to appear on the historical stage on a large scale, and the ironclad cavalry needed excellent horses, iron and money Dong Zhuo also controlled part of the territory of Xiliang, and there was no shortage of horses, Dong Zhuo also controlled several iron mines, and there was no shortage of iron, he was originally short of money, and when he attacked Luoyang City, he was not short of money, and the rich people in Luoyang City occupied half of the world, Dong Zhuo casually grabbed a few fat sheep and framed them for fornicating with the Xiangyang puppet court, and the whole family was beheaded and confiscated, and the looting proceeds were enough to build an 'elite' ironclad cavalry.

Dong Zhuo's most restricted thing in building ironclad cavalry is the smelting technology of this era, and if he didn't create enough pure iron, the ironclad horse armor could only build 4,000 pieces, forming 4,000 iron cavalry.

Xu Rong is a native of Liaoxi, not a native of Xiliang, and is not trusted by Dong Zhuo at ordinary times, but Dong Zhuo still knows that Xu Rong is a general, and the combat ability of the unified army is far above Niu Fu, Yang Ding and others, he wants to use Xu Rong's generals to fight against the Guanqi army, so he appointed Xu Rong as the general of Dongzhonglang, Chen Liutaishou, and the governor of the school, Huaxiong, Zhao Cen and others are defending the line from Xingyang to the Tiger Pass, facing the allies, and must frustrate the spirit of the allies.
