Chapter 186: Can't Wait
Liu Xin's heart ached, because he watched his Jingzhou cavalry fall off his horse at the moment of collision with the torrent, not only because these lost cavalry were his sharp weapons for dominating the world, but also because of some living young lives, because of his order, he has been separated from his relatives since then Yin and Yang.
What was even more shocking was the cavalry that blocked their way, and the state elite cavalry had never taken a straight look at these cavalry from the south, even the Luoyang cavalry and the Xiliang iron cavalry were not in their eyes, however, as soon as they engaged, their robes were cut off their horses one after another, and when the two sides charged, and when the horses confronted each other again, the Bingzhou elite cavalry was surprised to find that the other party had lost at most five or six hundred people, and at least two thousand people on their side had lost the ability to continue fighting.
They are not afraid of death, when the Jingzhou cavalry rushed over, they abandoned the bow and arrow, picked up the sword, riding and archery is their best way of fighting, they do this is to hold the determination to die, they want to win time for the smooth transfer of Lu Bu, however, these Jingzhou cavalry in front of them are more fearless than death, and the riding skills seem to be more exquisite, almost no one uses both hands to control the war horse, can make a variety of stabbing movements in a chic manner,
Before they could figure out what was going on, the other party's Jingzhou army launched again, this time, the impact of the Jingzhou army was even more violent, they were obviously inspired by the results just now, there were no war drums to help, not even a shout, only felt the horse's hooves on the ground, shocking, the two armies collided again, and some people kept falling off their horses, and even the screams of dying could not be released, and they were drowned by the rolling torrent without a trace,
After the second wave of impact, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, there are still about 4,000 cavalry in Jingzhou, and there are less than 100 people left in the Jingzhou cavalry, because Liu Xin has given an order not to let go of a person, these 100 or so Bingzhou elite cavalry has been surrounded, no matter which direction they break through, there is only a dead end, however, they came on Lu Bu's order this time, and they have no intention of going back alive, as long as they can buy enough time for Lu Bu, they will be satisfied,
Liu Xin knew that as long as there was another wave of charge, the nearly 100 people in the middle might all fall, but they were not afraid in the face of the Jingzhou cavalry dozens of times their size, and the remaining Bingzhou cavalry were all clustered around a young man with a long-handled broadsword, this young man was obviously their leader,
In the face of this group of opponents who put life and death aside, Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly respect, he quietly made a gesture, and under the protection of the generals, he came to the front and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind, making the sky angry, Liu Moujing is a hero, you are all heroes, you are working hard for this thief, you feel very worthless, and I hope you can listen to Liu's words, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and turn back to the shore." ”
The young man at the head sneered and said, "Dong Zhuo is something, and he deserves us to serve him, we respect Lu Bu, the number one hero in the world." ”
Before sending troops, Liu Xin ordered the Phantom Spy to collect detailed information on Dong Zhuo's troops, and after listening to what this young man said, Liu Xin could conclude that these cavalry were the Bingzhou army that followed Lu Bu to surrender to Dong Zhuo.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, then his face sank, and said: "Lu Bu is also the number one hero in the world, yes, his martial arts may be arrogant, but his character, Liu really dare not compliment, when Lord Ding regarded him as a parent, but he coveted glory and wealth, betrayed his father for glory, you always follow his left and right, but he puts you in danger and treats you as an outcast, this kind of person is also worthy of being called a hero, it is really a big joke." ”
When Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo, most of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army fled from Luoyang and returned to their hometowns, and the five thousand people left behind were all because they admired Lu Bu's martial arts, so they followed him, and never seriously considered whether Lu Bu was right or wrong to do this, and now after listening to Liu Xin's words, they couldn't help but hesitate, and looked at the young man who was the leader,
Liu Xin said while paying attention to observation, and found that the young man was also ashamed, and his spirit couldn't help but lift up, and continued: "Lu Bu is a villain who forgets his righteousness, and you are all loyal people, I can't bear to kill you all, this strong man, do you dare to have a one-on-one fight with my generals, if you win, I will let you go, if you lose, you must abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and obey me from now on." ”
The young man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Single-handedly, single-handedly, what am I afraid of Zhang Liao, but I have one condition, if I win, you must promise to stay here for a while, and then send troops to Luoyang." ”
Liu Xin heard that he was Zhang Liao, and he was more receptive, but he refused the conditions he proposed, saying: "Other conditions can be discussed, and I will never agree to this condition." ”
Zhang Liao's purpose is obvious, he just wants to buy time for Lu Bu, which is also the primary task for Lu Bu to send them here, these five thousand cavalry do not obey Zhang Liao's orders, they all only obey Lu Bu's orders, but Zhang Liao is obviously very prestigious among them, according to Zhang Liao's original estimate, five thousand people adopt the strategy of riding and shooting, at least they can block Liu Xin's army for half a day, but when the Jingzhou cavalry rushed out with their swords, the soldiers of the Zhou army almost didn't think much about it and abandoned their bows and changed their swords to meet them, Zhang Liao couldn't restrain them at all, He had to pick up the big knife, how could Zhang Liao have thought that with only two short charges, there were less than 100 people left on his side.
Liu Xin didn't agree to his own conditions, Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, he was also ashamed for a short time just now, but the determination to serve Lu Bu prevailed again, Zhang Liao wanted to try his best to delay time, so he deliberately slowed down his tone and said: "Why don't you dare to agree to the conditions below, is it because you are worried that your subordinates will lose, or you can't wait, and rush into Luoyang to fight for power, if so, it is not better." ”
Liu Xin knew that he was delaying time, but he was not in a hurry at all, he just shook his head and said lightly: "What do I have to wait, don't say one day, it doesn't matter if you stay here for two more days, but the people of Luoyang have suffered from Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, they are in dire straits, I can wait, but they can't wait, if you don't want to fight alone, then I will give the order to attack." ”
Zhang Liao knew that as long as the Jingzhou army charged again, there would be no more people left around him, and what to talk about blocking Liu Xin's army from going north, Zhang Liao was still quite confident in his martial arts, in his opinion, except for Lu Bu in this world, there was no second person who was his opponent, and under his full defense, even Lu Bu would have to win more than 200 rounds, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I promise you, which of you will fight to the death with me." ”
Liu Xin turned his head to look behind him, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong were all eager to try, Liu Xin knew that in terms of personal martial arts alone, these four people should be above Zhang Liao, but this time he was bound to win against Zhang Liao, and he wanted him to lose convincingly, so he pointed at Huang Zhong and said: "Hansheng, you go and fight him, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose." ”
Huang Zhong got the order, excitedly urged the war horse, rushed out, the other three people all showed regretful expressions on their faces, Zhang Liao saw this, and also rode his horse to meet the forward, the two fought in one place, fought for more than a dozen rounds, Zhang Liao knew that Huang Zhong's martial arts were unfathomable, eagerly, it was impossible for him to win, Zhang Liao had the intention to delay time, in order to save physical strength, in order to try to deal with Huang Zhong for a long time, he immediately changed his strategy, only defended and did not attack, although Huang Zhong's martial arts were better than Zhang Liao, but under Zhang Liao's full defense, It's very difficult to win.
The two of them fought fiercely for more than a hundred rounds, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner, Huang Zhong saw that Zhang Liao's defense was completely flawless, he had a plan, deliberately pretended to be anxious, his arms became more and more forceful, and launched a new round of attacks like a storm, Zhang Liao saw that Huang Zhong's attack was strong for a while, and secretly sneered, he didn't care how Huang Zhong attacked, he only made a big knife impassable,
Gradually, Huang Zhong really showed fatigue, and the knife technique slowed down, Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, still only defended and did not attack, until Huang Zhong's knife technique was full of flaws, Zhang Liao fought back, two knives in a row, Huang Zhong was able to dodge, a moment of danger, and fought for more than 20 rounds, the two sides gradually changed their offensive and defensive momentum, Zhang Liao was already a knife faster than a knife, Huang Zhong saw that the situation was not good, peeked into a gap, turned the horse and left,
Zhang Liao knew that this person was really the first rival he encountered after Lu Bu, and he got such an opportunity, where was he willing to let him escape, and he must be in addition to this henchman's trouble, so he rode his horse and chased after him, and suddenly heard a bowstring sound, Zhang Liao subconsciously turned his head, but saw Huang Zhong holding a hard bow, aiming at himself, but did not release the arrow, Zhang Liao raised the knife and rushed again, and there was another bowstring sounded, and there was still no arrow shooting, Zhang Liao was furious, patted the horse and chased wildly, the third bowstring sounded, only to see "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Three arrows came in a row,
These three arrows have come first and later, but Huang Zhong controlled the strength very well, almost at the same time in front of Zhang Liao, a good Zhang Liao, with a wave of the big knife, knocked out an arrow on the left, and then the head was off, and the middle arrow was shot at his helmet, flying over with the helmet, but Huang Zhong's third arrow was shot at Zhang Liao's mount, the horse screamed, and Zhang Liao was overturned to the ground, Huang Zhong finished sending three arrows, immediately hung up the bow, turned back and killed, and with a wave of the big knife, it was on Zhang Liao's neck, not waiting for Zhang Liao to struggle to get up, A soldier had already rushed up and held Zhang Liao firmly down,
Liu Xin glanced at Zhang Liao, who was escorted in front of him, waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to let him go, and said: "Zhang Liao, the eldest husband should be true to his word, you have lost, and you should obey my orders from now on." ”
Zhang Liao is really a good man, and after listening to Liu Xin's words, he also said with a straight face: "Since I lost, I don't have anything to say, but I finally dragged you here for a long time, and I am worthy of Feng Xian." ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but praise: "What a Zhang Wenyuan, entrusted by others, loyal to things, and truly loyal and righteous." ”
Immediately afterwards, his words changed sharply, and he said: "However, although you have dragged me, you have not been able to hold back my 30,000 army, they should have arrived at Luoyang City by now." ”
