Dian Wei is a pure king of killing soldiers, and the halberd method he has learned may not be as sharp and subtle as Lu Bu's, but it is the most practical halberd method, and its moves are endless, balanced in attack and defense, and impassable. Moreover, Dian Wei is also a guy with natural powers, so even if he is not as violent as Xu Zhu, his strength is not bad, and he is not much inferior to Lu Bu.

LΓΌ Bu was also amazed by the rigor of Dian Wei's halberd method and his strength.

In fact, although Lu Bu has his own martial arts and is invincible, but in the competition held for Princess Wannian that year, Lu Bu also watched the competition of many generals, like the leaders under Liu Yi's account, Lu Bu still has a little impression in his heart. It's just that Lu Bu didn't think that the martial arts of these generals were not much inferior to him compared to him.

If it was peacetime, Lu Bu might have fought with Dian Wei fairly like he did with Xu Zhu yesterday, and fight with Dian Wei to his heart's content, but now he doesn't have the patience to compete with Dian Wei anymore.

He fought a few rendezvous with Dian Wei in a stormy battle, and knew that it was impossible to defeat Dian Wei in a short time, so he immediately gave Zhang Liao an order: "Wen Yuan, lead the army to attack this Liu Yi army, I will be the enemy of Dian Wei!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liao wanted to wave his army and rush to kill, but when he heard the rum, he raised his weapon and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Soldiers, rush with me!" ”

Before Tongguan, Liu Yi's army was driving out of the gate and opening a formation in front of the pass. A few miles ahead, there were 10,000 cavalry led by Dian Wei. And Lu Bu, he led 30,000 cavalry out of the camp, at the moment, it was 30,000 against 10,000, when Liu Yi's army was not fully prepared and had not yet lined up the formation, and it was a few miles away from the 10,000 cavalry, he just took this opportunity to defeat the 10,000 cavalry led by Dian Wei in one fell swoop.

Lu Bu's life. He has fought countless battles, although he is self-righteous and brave many times, and he doesn't like to fight with his brain, but. It's not that he doesn't understand the subtleties of the battle between the two armies. At this moment, he was also keenly aware of a fighter that could defeat Liu Yijun.

Whether it is Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, they all know that their army rarely takes advantage of anything in the battle with Liu Yi, on the contrary, they have eaten a lot of tens of thousands under Liu Yi recently, and the morale of their sergeants is very low.

And now. The shape is not good for them, they were forced by Liu Yi to fight a decisive battle with Liu Yijun, if they can't improve the morale of the sergeants in time, this battle, it is really difficult to win or lose. Therefore, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, at this moment, both thought about defeating Liu Yijun for a while. Boost the morale of your own army.

Dian Wei was using his halberd method wholeheartedly, blocking Lu Bu's fierce attack, and heard that Lu Bu actually ordered Zhang Liao to wave his army to kill. At the moment, he said angrily: "Lu Bu! If you bring seeds, you will fight fairly with our Dianwei! Swinging an army to attack is that kind of hero? ”

"Hmph, now that the two armies are at war, who wants to fight you alone? Besides, you're no match for me! Recruit! Lu Bu snorted coldly, and Fang Tian's halberd drew an arc, and the halberd hit Dian Wei's short halberd crescent.

There was a ding, sparks flew everywhere, and both of them were stunned.

At the same time, with a bang, Zhang Liao had already led the cavalry to rush over.

"Kill!"

30,000 cavalry charged at the same time. The momentum is magnificent.

"Zhang Shan! Lead the army to act according to plan! Dian Wei Zema intersected with Lu Bu, and did not turn back to fight Lu Bu, but bypassed from a distance, shouting loudly.

Zhang Shan was a general of Liu Yi's cavalry, he came with Zhao Yun from Dazepo in Youzhou, and did not leave with Zhao Yun again. Instead, he was promoted to a commander in the training of cavalry. This person is a native of Yuyang, when he was a teenager, he was captured by the Wuhuan people to be a slave, herded horses for the Wuhuan people, and later fled back to his hometown Yuyang, but unfortunately, his family was killed in the rebellion, and it happened that the Dazepo base was sheltering the homeless people at that time, so he voted for the Dazepo base.

When Zhang Shan was grazing and raising horses for the Wuhuan people, he practiced riding skills and was proficient in horse taming, originally, he was more able to make the best use of his talents in raising horses in Dazepo, but he himself wanted to fight and didn't want to raise horses anymore, so he followed Zhao Yun. In several battles, he was appreciated by Zhao Yun for his superb riding skills and courage in killing enemies, and introduced him as a cavalry commander.

Therefore, when Zhao Yun was away, when the cavalry was to be handed over to Dian Wei or other generals to lead the battle, many major affairs in the cavalry were handled by these generals who were promoted. It's okay for a guy like Dian Wei to let him lead the army into battle, but many training matters in the cavalry, or some trivial affairs, don't need them to deal with.

When fighting, giving orders to the cavalry is actually the same generals. Dian Wei only likes to charge into battle, so the general command matters will fall on the heads of Zhang Shan and other generals.

As soon as Dian Wei called, Zhang Shan and the other generals understood.

As soon as he gave the order, he led the cavalry to retreat first, but when he retreated, he did not retreat straight to his own formation, but as if he was going around in a circle, leading Lu Bu's cavalry to retreat diagonally to his main formation.

10,000 cavalry fought against 30,000 cavalry, and only a fool would wave his army against it.

Before they led the army to pursue Zhang Liao and kill Dong Zhuojun's camp, Zhang Shan had already asked Dian Wei how to deal with it if Dong Zhuo's army came out of the camp to fight.

In fact, it is very simple, their army is constantly coming out of Tongguan, their 10,000-strong cavalry is only playing a role in containment, and it is the large army that really wants to fight with Dong Zhuo's army, not their 10,000-strong cavalry.

In addition, in their own army, archers, spearmen, pikemen, etc., are all restrained arms of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and their cavalry does not need to directly fight Dong Zhuo's cavalry, they only need to be contained, or they can play a role when attacking Dong Zhuo's flank and pursuit.

In this way, Zhang Shan actually didn't use Dian Wei to give orders, as soon as he saw Dong Zhuo's cavalry rushing over, he gave orders to his cavalry and retreated with a bang.

They retreated very skillfully, and when they withdrew diagonally to the flank of the main army between the two armies, and Zhang Liao led the army to attack, they could only pursue diagonally, so that Dong Zhuo's cavalry seemed to be diagonally in front of Liu Yi's army.

At the beginning of the pursuit, Zhang Liao hadn't realized that there was anything wrong with this, but when he pursued most of the distance, he found that something was wrong.

Because, when the oblique pursuit. His army formation was diagonally in front of Lewi's army, and as long as Lewy's army moved forward, his cavalry could be included in their range.

This is the case. Zhang Liao's heart couldn't help but be frightened, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong when he waved his army to attack, but he forgot that the two armies were actually very close to each other, only four or five miles away, and as soon as he pursued like this, he shortened the distance between the two armies to a distance of one or two miles. The vanguard army that pursued Lewy's cavalry had actually entered the range of Lewy's army.

"Not good! The whole army will retreat first! Zhang Liao suddenly reined in his horse and shouted at the sergeant.

However, it was already too late.

Zhang Liao actually forgot that when he attacked the Tongguan city wall last night, when Liu Yi's sergeant withdrew from the wall and removed the school field in the gate, he was able to quickly arrange the formation. Perhaps, he thought that there were not many such elite sergeants in Ley's army, so. He didn't think that Liu Yi's army would line up outside the gate so quickly.

You know, if it's his army. The army drove out of the camp, and it was not possible to form a formation for a period of time, but Liu Yi's army quickly drove out from Tongguan, and as soon as they came out, they could find their respective positions and quickly form a military formation.

I saw that before Liu Yi's army, there was a dense array of spears. Behind the pikemen were the archers, which were completely an attacking camp, and not even the sword and shield soldiers were in front of the formation.

At this moment, Liu Yi also rode his horse in front of the formation with all the generals, and the black cavalry in front of him galloped diagonally from the front of the formation. I was overjoyed. Liu Yi also did not think that Dian Wei's 10,000 cavalry could lead the enemy army so conveniently for his own army to attack.

After looking back, he found that his army had already had forty or fifty thousand military horses out of the pass, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately said loudly: "Brothers! Today is the moment of our decisive battle with Dong Thief's army, Dong Zhuo is in the camp not far ahead, and it is time to capture Dong Zhuo alive! Brothers, charge and kill! ”

"Capture Dong Zhuo alive! Kill! ”

The sergeants responded in unison, with a bang.

From the beginning of the attack on Hongnong County, the sergeants were always ready to fight Dong Zhuo to the death and completely kill this traitor, so listening to Dong Zhuo's military camp not far ahead, everyone couldn't help but be angry, and with an order, the whole army moved forward with a bang.

Four or fifty thousand military horses, spears like a forest, bows and arrows like rain, the camp lined up is three or four miles wide.

Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of cavalry turned their heads, and everyone's faces changed.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In Liu Yi's army, there was a commander who shouted loudly, and the chilling rain of arrows roared and flew towards Dong Zhuo's cavalry lined up in front.

"Retreat! Retire ......"

Zhang Liaofei's bow and arrows in mid-air shrouded him, and he immediately slapped his horse and retreated.

For a while, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao could no longer care about pursuing Dian Wei, a 10,000-strong cavalry, and the cavalry lined diagonally in front of Liu Yi's army twisted their horses' heads and fled in the direction of their own military camp.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao saw the opportunity early and withdrew quickly, which enabled his cavalry to escape from the range shrouded by the rain of arrows in time. Fortunately, they still had room to retreat, and if the army behind them was behind them, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape so easily.

Dian Wei had already escaped from Lu Bu's pursuit, and behind the cavalry queue, he withdrew to the side of Liu Yi's army and protected the flank of Liu Yi's army.

A round of arrow rain did not completely fail, and Dong Zhuojun, who was chasing quickly, was too close to the barracks of Liu Yi's army and was shot down by the arrow rain.

Lu Bu held the horse quickly, pursued the closest, and almost bit Dian Wei's figure to chase and kill the past, so he received special care of the bow and arrow, if it weren't for his superb martial arts, and under the situation that his own soldiers desperately blocked the arrows for him, he also fled back.

The 30,000 cavalry lined up in front of Liu Yi's army opened a distance from Liu Yi's army in the blink of an eye.

However, Lewy didn't care so much and ordered the sergeant to continue to advance.

Liu Yi tightly held the slightly cold dragon spear, and slowly advanced with the sergeant.

With the army at its peak, there was a pride in his heart.

Once upon a time, who ever thought that he could also have a head-to-head showdown with Dong Zhuo? Now, his strength is increasing rapidly, and Dong Zhuo, who was invincible at the beginning, has sunset, and his demise is imminent, and the history of the Three Kingdoms has finally changed because of him Liu Yi. As long as Dong Zhuo is destroyed, then the three kingdoms must be unified. What's so hard about it?

After Dong Zhuo, is it Cao Cao? Is it Yuan Shao? Liu Yi is really full of pride now.

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is indeed very powerful, in the ancient wars. Cavalry is indeed an important factor in determining the outcome of a war. In general, under the onslaught of cavalry, most of them could not resist the onslaught of cavalry.

However, their own army is different. Thousands of archers, covered in a dense rain of arrows, let the impact of his cavalry be as powerful as they rushed in front of the battle. can deal them a heavy blow. If you rush to the front of the battle, the spear thrown by the snatcher is more lethal than the bow and arrow, and the sharp throw can even break the armor. These two means of killing the enemy can severely defeat the spirit of the cavalry. Before the cavalry rushed into their own formation, the long spears made the cavalry seem to be sent to death. Dense array of guns, without a single gap, rushed to the front of the cavalry. There is simply no room for dodge, only death.

It's a pity that Zhang Liao didn't wave his army to attack his own army array, otherwise, he would have been able to destroy a group of Dong Zhuo's cavalry first.

But so what? The army was crushed in the past, and I believe that Dong Zhuo will definitely lose this battle.

Liu Yi is really a little ambitious and excited now.

Yuan Qing, Huang Wudie, and Huang Xu, who were beside Liu Yi, seemed to feel that Liu Yi was different from usual at the moment. He seemed to be much more relaxed than ever.

"Husband, if these tens of thousands of cavalry retreat, it will definitely have a certain impact on Dong Zhuo's army who came out of the camp, and it will inevitably affect their military morale, otherwise, let's rush and kill for a while?" Huang Wudie lifted the knife and was eager to try.

"No need. In this battle, Dong Thief will definitely lose, even if he has 100,000 cavalry? After this battle, we want to change history, change the concept that cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, and we can defeat Dong Zhuo's powerful cavalry just as much as everyone in the world, our infantry. Liu Yi stopped Huang Wudie and said.

"Hehe...... Huang Xu laughed a little speechlessly in the audience.

"Lord, our current battle formation is aimed at the cavalry, it is definitely not a problem to defeat the Dong thief, and it will not change the history of anything, right?" Huang Xu scratched his head and said.

Cavalry is indeed very strong, and under normal circumstances, infantry is certainly not the enemy of cavalry.

However, what kind of infantry are not their own infantry?

The army that came to Tongguan this time had almost 100,000 military horses, of which more than 30,000 were soldiers trapped in the camp, and 30,000 or 40,000 were sailors trained by Gan Ning. The sailors, originally planned to be soldiers for fighting on ships, each of them focused on training archery, and also, these 30,000 or 40,000 sailors were almost all archers. And archers can be the nemesis of all classes except for heavy armor and shield soldiers. If it is an ordinary archer, it is not easy for the archer to shoot the cavalry in the high-speed gallop, but the archers who have a certain attainment in archery skills, and then after a long time of collective shooting training, they shoot a salvo of ten thousand arrows, forming a kind of skynet coverage for the cavalry, attacking the cavalry within a certain range, making those cavalry unavoidable, no matter what, they will only be killed by arrows.

Therefore, the archers of Levi's army were strong in a volley of ten thousand arrows. Whether it is resisting the enemy or attacking, it is a crushing attack, invincible.

Archers kill from a distance, spearmen kill from a medium range, and pikemen kill from a close range. Every branch of the army is arranged for the cavalry, in such a situation, how can Dong Zhuo be invincible?

The reason why the cavalry is strong is not actually their impact force, in order to deal with the cavalry, there are many, and the use of cavalry also has many restrictions. Especially in fixed places, digging some traps and arranging some tripping ropes can greatly reduce the power of the cavalry. The main reason why cavalry is strong is that they come and go like the wind.

When two armies engage in battle, it is better to hide it unless necessary, so that the enemy does not know its details, and then deal a fatal blow to the enemy. Cavalry should be used more in raid warfare.

However, Dong Zhuo, almost all of his troops are cavalry, and they all use cavalry to attack cities and villages, and he still uses cavalry to confront him here. Dong Zhuojun, compared to Liu Yilai, has no secrets to speak of, so Liu Yican make so many arrangements for Dong Zhuo from the beginning.

All the arrangements, waiting for this moment, have a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo head-on.

The sun rose, and the heat of the scorching sun evaporated a little mist between the earth in the blink of an eye, making the earth dry, and the galloping of the cavalry made a vast area in front of Tongguan full of dust and smoke.

Dong Zhuo was dressed in bright yellow clothes and armor, sitting on a fiery red horse on his hips, squinting forward and staring ahead, but between the billowing dust and smoke, he was not too distinct.

"Feng Xian, my son, Liu Yi's army seems to be advancing towards our army, why don't you retreat without a fight?"

Dong Zhuo personally led the army out of the camp, and ordered his generals to set up a formation, preparing to fight Liu Yi to the death. He now has 100,000 cavalry, and there is an endless stream of military horses behind him to support, so he doesn't seem to be worried that his army will be Liu Yi's enemy. No matter what, Liu Yi's troops were all infantry, and a charge from his army might have scattered Liu Yi's army.

He saw Lu Bu hurriedly riding back to his main formation, and his 30,000 military horses were also withdrawn like a swarm of bees, without any order, so his tone was a little dissatisfied.
