( ) wwcoDong Zhuo's own soldiers in the grain cave, they were leaderless, and under Zhao Yun's strong and domineering charge, they only killed two or three hundred of them, and the rest threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy

Without the main general Dong Huang, they didn't dare to set fire to the grain without an order, not to mention that they also knew that there was Zhao Yun in front of the grain cave, and they couldn't escape from it, once they set fire, they would also be burned alive inside, and they couldn't beat Zhao Yun, seeing Zhao Yun's move, he shot and killed more than a dozen sergeants, and with a murderous aura, he broke open one of their camps, and this kind of battle will be equivalent to a god for ordinary soldiers, who dares to fight with it? So surrender is the best option

In ancient times, warfare was indeed very particular about the main generals, and the brave generals of the first level were like an unclimbable mountain, how could soldiers dare to compete with them?

The surrendered Dong Zhuo sergeants were all tied up, and then the entire grain cave was cleared, and every corner was inspected to ensure that there was no grain cave left, and there was really no hidden danger, Zhao Yun left a hundred soldiers guarding the grain cave, and another hundred people drove hundreds of Dong Zhuo's own soldiers out of the grain cave

Outside, Huang Xu also won for a while, and the sergeants were guarding the entrance of the cave or treating each other's wounds

"Brother Zilong" Huang Xu saw that Zhao Yun had driven out hundreds of captives, knowing that Zhao Yun had already controlled the grain cave, proving that the grain inside was under his control, and couldn't help but say happily: "Haha, Dong Zhuojun, without fighting, we fought with two or three thousand of them for a while, and we beat them away."

"Dong Zhuojun's heart is already in turmoil, where do you still have the heart to fight with us? Defeat is inevitable, how about the casualties of the brothers? Zhao Yun naturally also saw the corpse of Sergeant Dong Zhuo lying upside down in front of the entrance of the cave, and at a glance, he was afraid that there were hundreds of people

"There are not many casualties," Huang Xu's eyes were silent, and he turned his head to look at the row of corpses placed next to the entrance of the cave, although there were only about a dozen people, but they were just as sad

"War is like this," Zhao Yun patted Huang Xu's shoulder, and said a little silently: "Their sacrifice is worth it, the mountains of food in it are exchanged for their lives, and we will all remember them in the future, you are here to guard me, and lead the dragon song to kill them."

"No need Zilong, big brother to break their barracks, the main general has just been shot and wounded by us, he will not dare to fight, as long as the barracks are broken, they will have to escape," Huang Xu looked at the barracks in front of him and said: "The Hidden Grain Cave is already in our hands, there is no need to fight with them again, drive them away and meet the 20,000 Dong Zhuo troops who came to support."

"Well, yes, such a cowardly soldier is really not worth fighting with, so as not to have too many sacrifices," Zhao Yun waved his spear, and a hundred sergeants followed him to the Duan Xuan military camp in front

The two hundred sergeants led by Zhao Yun seized the grain cave, but there were no casualties, which is why Liu Yi liked Zhao Yun so much, and the sergeants were led by him and suffered very few casualties, how could such a good general and fierce general not be liked by people?

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, who dares to fight," Zhao Yun strode towards the Duan Xuan military camp, shouting loudly while shaking the valley

Duan Xuan fled back to the barracks, and was anxiously trying to straighten out the military horses again, after all, the grain cave was really going to be lost, and it was not easy for him to explain in front of Dong Zhuo, so although he was defeated for a while, he didn't really think about it, so he wanted to give up here and flee

But what made him distressed was that all the sergeants under his command were timid, just now two or three thousand people ran away, some of them reached the canyon, only some of them fled back to the barracks, and the two or three hundred people fought for a short time, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded, not to mention the ordinary sergeant, he Duan Xuan was also a little cold, I heard that Liu Yi's generals were powerful, and the sergeants were all brave, and he didn't believe it very much before, but today's battle made him have to believe it

When he ordered people to defend the barracks, when the 10,000 troops after Dong Huang led the pass came, there were soldiers who came one after another to report that the military camp of the mountain had been captured by the enemy, and the earth and stone village was also opened, and Duan Xuan was panicked that Dong Huang actually led 10,000 soldiers away and did not enter the valley to support him

At this moment, Zhao Yun's battle made Duan Xuan tremble and sit on the ground

Changshan Zhao Zilong? Isn't it Zhao Yun Zhao Yun actually came? Do you still need to fight? If the sergeants are not afraid of death, it can be said that the group will attack and fall, but look at the soldiers on the left and right, their faces are like ashes, if they stay here and be killed by Zhao Yun into the camp, then who can be his enemy?

Duan Xuan's eyes turned, he looked at the arrow on his shoulder again, and he had an idea in his heart, since Dong Huang led the army away, he also had an explanation in front of Dong Zhuo, hmph, didn't Dong Huang usually hold that he was Dong Zhuo's nephew and shouted to himself? Now let's see how he explains it to Dong Zhuo

As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly jumped up from the ground and hurriedly ordered: "The generals listened to the order, the whole army retreated from the gorge and walked back to report the battle situation here to Xiangguo, our generals fought bloody battles with Liu Yi's army, and the generals were also seriously injured, and Dong Huang actually led the army to flee without a fight, why do we still stay here and work for their Dong family?" Someone came and carried General Ben to see Xiangguo."

If you don't leave, it's too late, Duan Xuan shouted anxiously

When the soldiers heard this, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly brought a stretcher and carried Duan Xuan away

Zhao Yun shouted in front of the camp for a long time, no one should fight, and destroyed the gate of the barracks, and when he entered the camp, he found that the camp was empty, and he was full of messes

On the contrary, the 500 dead soldiers who went to attack the earth and stone wall suffered more casualties, after all, they did not have a particularly strong general, and led the Dong Zhuo army with the stone wall to fight a fierce battle, and finally opened the gate of the earth and stone wall, so that the army outside could kill into the valley

Long Ge's sudden attack on the military camp in the mountain was not too difficult, and as soon as the army was out, Dong Zhuo's army, which was twice as large as the military camp, only fought for a while, and captured three or four thousand Dong Zhuo sergeants

The capture of Dong Zhuo's grain cave was a little smoother than expected, and it only took more than half an hour to completely clear the entire canyon

However, everyone was not idle, Zhao Yun and Huang Xu and Long Ge touched their heads, and then the horses went their separate ways, Long Ge led the people to destroy the mountain road behind the canyon, blocked and led 3,000 men and horses to guard the grain cave, while Zhao Yun gathered his 5,000 cavalry and horses to hide in the barren forest outside the canyon, and Huang Xu led 6 or 7,000 men and horses, and Chen soldiers outside the earth and stone village

Before noon, Li Ru led 20,000 cavalry to drive to them, and when they were still twenty miles away from here, there were already spies reporting that the grain cave was being attacked by an army of unknown origin, so Li Ru urgently ordered the sergeants to support the grain cave

It's a pity that he was still a step late, and when he came, Huang Xu had already led thousands of soldiers to display in front of the earth and stone wall

The mouth of this canyon is more than a mile wide, which is not conducive to the cavalry to launch a charge, which is also one of the reasons why Huang Xu dared to line up in front of the earth and stone village

Of course, the main reason is that Huang Xu is not afraid of Dong Zhuo's cavalry at all

Since Liu Yi began to form an army, he has always had a variety of tactics for cavalry charges, whether it is the two thousand Mo swordsmen of the Yulin Army, or the spears with extended throwing guns, and the bed crossbows that are still being developed, etc., are all sharp weapons against the cavalry, which is also the reason why Tai Shi Ci wants to participate in the battle, because his two thousand Mo knife soldiers are the nemesis of the cavalry

Of course, these means of dealing with cavalry are based on the situation of fighting each other in formation, if it is an encounter between infantry and cavalry, and the situation that your own formation has not had time to expand, in addition to the Mo knife hand can also fight with one of them, I am afraid that it is difficult to fight with the cavalry, in general, no matter what kind of troops, as long as you are prepared, you can break and defeat

Even if it is a heavily armored Mo sword soldier, if the cavalry is in the field, only using the means of cavalry shooting, and there is no close combat, then no matter how strong the Mo sword soldier is, it will be destroyed by the enemy

But for now, Li Ru's 20,000 cavalry is doomed

They came in a hurry, they didn't know the enemy's situation, they were unprepared, and the most important thing was that they didn't know why so many soldiers suddenly appeared in this place equivalent to the hinterland of Luoyang, and there was a problem with their military hearts, at this moment, everyone wanted to quickly carry the looted money and transfer it to Chang'an, and they had no intention of fighting to the death again, and the 20,000 military horses led by Li Ru were originally here to transport the grain from the grain cave, and this trip would not come back, so almost all of the soldiers carried large bags and small bags to take away the money and property they had obtained in Luoyang, and such an army would not have the slightest will to fight?

An army without a will to fight is a defeated army

Even if Li Ru came and saw the thousands of soldiers waiting in the Tushi Village, his first thought was to lead the army to turn around and leave, not wanting to fight with it, the enemy army was lined up in the grain cave, it was enough to prove that the grain in the grain cave had fallen into the hands of the enemy, he wanted to recapture it, I am afraid it would not be so easy, but the food in the grain cave was enough for Dong Zhuo's 200,000 army for several years, and there was no room for failure, so he couldn't just leave, if he didn't flee without a fight, he didn't try to recapture the grain cave, and Dong Zhuo was afraid that he would not let him go back in the future

So Li Ru had to think about how to recapture the grain cave

Li Ru is only a military supervisor, equivalent to Liu Yijun, Zhong Xi Zhicai and others with the army, the real commander is actually another person, Fan Chou is the commander of the army

Fan Chou is also a member of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, fierce and brave and good at fighting, he is Dong Zhuo's most loyal, and he is also one of the Liangzhou descendants who have followed Dong Zhuo for the longest time, but he is brave and unstrategic, Dong Zhuo rarely lets him lead an army to fight outside, and it is because of this that Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru to come to supervise the army together

When he saw Huang Xu's army lined up outside the earth and stone wall, he immediately laughed, pointed at Huang Xu's sergeant with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "Sons, this army that came out of nowhere actually wants to block us with their flesh and blood, and the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they will send 3,000 soldiers to disperse them, and then the army will kill them and recapture the grain cave in one fell swoop."

Fan Chou was the commander of the first army, and when he encountered the enemy, he naturally had the right to make preparations for battle, and as soon as he gave the order, the deputy general hurriedly ordered 3,000 troops and horses to come out

Li Ru, who saw the movement in the army, hurriedly found Fan Chou

"General Fan Chou, don't attack rashly, look at the enemy's lineup, the sergeants are solemn, obviously they are prepared, and if you want to fight, you have to find out which way the opponent is and what the soldiers and horses are," Li Ru persuaded

"Priority student, when it comes to using your brain, you are much more flexible than my old fan, but when it comes to the matter of charging into battle in battle, you are not as good as me Lao Fan, sir, you see that the enemy army in front of you is full of infantry, and only a small part of the soldiers are wearing light armor, most of them have no armor, and there are only one or two columns of shield soldiers in front, they want to rely on this to resist our cavalry charge? That's impossible, as long as we rush into battle, their thousands of infantry are not at the mercy of our cavalry? So don't think about it, sir, you will press the formation for my old fan, wait for me to kill all the enemies in front of me, recapture the grain cave, and then sir, you go in."

Pan Chou is indeed a brave and unscrupulous person, just looking at the surface, he thought that as long as he charged, he could defeat Huang Xu's prepared army, and he didn't even think about whether the enemy army had other arrangements, whether there was an ambush army, and so on

"No, it's really inappropriate, I vaguely feel that this army that suddenly appeared is very stilted," Li Ru felt that it was still inappropriate, and he didn't know why he had a feeling of horror at the moment

"Sir, what do you say is wrong? Did you teach Fan to retreat? Instead of this, it's better to wait for Fan to rush and kill for a while and see how the enemy situation is, sir, you are in the back of the formation, in case you find that something is wrong, you can make a decision"

Li Ru really didn't have any way to deal with the situation in front of him for a while, and he was good at conspiracy and trickery, but making decisions in the face of the enemy was not his forte

"Okay, general, be careful, I don't think the enemy formation will be so simple."

"Haha, don't care about him, we Xiliang Tieqi haven't been afraid of who will come and kill someone"

Fan Chou was impatient in his heart, the enemy did not fight, it was really not his character, he slapped his horse and carried a spear, and rushed out first

Huang Xu's array was not to resist the enemy but to defeat the enemy before the earth and stone village, because they did not only come to seize this grain cave, not only to defeat Dong Zhuojun, who came to help, in addition to these, they had other tasks, it was impossible to entangle with Dong Zhuojun, and here they had to defeat and defeat Li Ru's 20,000 cavalry in one fell swoop

Therefore, Huang Xu also planned that if this Dong Zhuo army was not as good as attacking, he would also push the battle formation forward and force it to fight

Fortunately, Panchou finally led 3,000 cavalry to rush and kill

When they arrived, they were only less than a mile or two away from the Huang Xu's formation, and the charge of their cavalry could be killed in the blink of an eye

Three thousand cavalry rushed together, and the momentum was also earth-shattering, and the earth seemed to shake, and the sound of horse trampling sounded like hitting people's hearts, making people's hearts tighten

Huang Xu stared closely at the cavalry that rushed to kill, due to the limitation of the terrain, when the cavalry unfolded, it could only be a row of 1,000 people at most, when the cavalry platoon was pressed to about 200 paces, Huang Xu waved his hand, and there were 4,000 archers behind him, and the soldiers pulled their bows and arrows one after another

The squeak of the bowstring was unexpectedly uniform

"Release the arrow," Huang Xu shouted

call

This time, the salvo of bows and arrows was louder than the salvo of only a hundred people just now, and I saw that the sky suddenly seemed to be a sudden darkness, and the arrows flew into the air, and then fell sharply in a parabola

Whoosh

The rain of arrows rained down on the charging cavalry

"Ahhh......h

With such a dense number of arrows, there was no way to avoid it, and countless galloping cavalry were shot down with arrows, and the cavalry that charged backwards turned out to be in a chaotic formation

"Charge the shield in the front formation, raise the gun, and release the arrows in the back formation," Huang Xu ordered loudly

In front of him, the three columns of long pikemen raised their long spears in unison, forming a chilling forest of spears

The sergeant's current weapon is no longer the previous bladeless arrow spear, nor is it the original bamboo pole wooden gun, and the iron ore mined from Wuling smelts the iron, so that the arsenal can create a large number of sharp bows and arrows and countless iron spear heads

Therefore, the current spear array is full of spears with cold iron spearheads

Bows and arrows were fired at a group of cavalry, disrupting the enemy's charge, and by the time they reached the front of the formation, they were already sparsely populated

As soon as the spear array came out, the cavalry was immediately frightened, this kind of long weapon, especially the spear array listed by this long weapon, when the cavalry charged, they were most afraid of encountering this, because they rushed over and failed to contact the enemy soldiers, so they hit the tip of the spear first and were killed, so it is said that the cavalry charge encounters a dense spear formation, which is equivalent to death

It's a pity that the Dong Zhuo cavalry who rushed forward couldn't stop the castration, so they rushed into the spear formation, and even the men and horses were stabbed into hedgehogs by the waiting spears

For a while, people turned their backs and screamed and wailed

Only 3,000 cavalry rushed into the formation, and before they arrived, they were killed by bows and arrows, some rushed to the front of the formation, and some were killed, and the rest of Dong Zhuo's cavalry had lost their courage

If their cavalry can continue to rush and kill, then when they break through the spear formation, it is time for them to meet in close quarters, and their cavalry can break through Huang Xu's army with the advantage of war horses, but with their 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 well-prepared horses, Huang Xu will not be able to let them rush into the battle formation

Seeing that the cavalry charged with a sharp frustration, Huang Xu ordered and shouted: "The pikemen advance with bows and arrows to suppress the enemy troops behind."

Fan Chou would never have imagined that the army in front of him, which seemed to be waiting casually, would be so strong, and he would never have imagined that they would prepare so many archers

Looking at the rain of arrows that came from wave after wave, Fan Chou was so shocked that he was not finished)
