Chapter 111: Iron-Blooded Man
Compared with Zhang Liao's tactics of relying on personal martial arts and the strong combat power of the army, Xu Huang's tactics are undoubtedly more effective.
To put it simply, Xu Huang's tactic was to lead most of the men and horses to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, and when the battle was stalemate, his deputy General Hierro would lead a hundred cavalry to suddenly kill.
In this way, even if the Yellow Turban Army is prepared, it will also be caught off guard. Whether it is a temporary change of formation, or an attempt to attack the large army led by Xu Huang with all his might, the defensive front of the Yellow Turban Army will appear to be fatal and flawed.
Sure enough, after two battles, the five hundred cavalry led by Xu Huang lost less than 100 people, and they successfully killed all the two thieves, and successfully completed the task assigned by Liu Jin.
When the two teams returned to the camp victoriously, the sky was already bright, and Liu Jin and others received the military report and were already waiting at the gate of the camp early. The two groups of men and horses slowly came to the gate of the camp with different moods.
After Zhang Liao and Xu Huang each recounted the course of the battle, Liu Jin's face immediately seemed to be like a marquee, cloudy and uncertain. And Zhang Liao, who listened to Xu Huang's battle report, had no joy after the victory at this time, as well as anger towards the Yellow Turban Army, and only reflected.
After a long time, Liu Jincai spit out a few words with a pale face: "From today onwards, Xu Huang will be transferred to the position of captain of the Yanmen Iron Cavalry and lead the Yanmen Iron Cavalry."
As soon as he heard this, Xu Huang immediately excused himself: "The lord can't, General Wenyuan has won the hearts of the army, and there is General Wenyuan...".
In fact, for Liu Jin, Zhang Liao is still too young after all, and he is easy to act impulsively. The previous time, because of impulsiveness, he buried the general Meng Yao, who had followed him for a long time, and this time, he was brave and brave, relying on the good military discipline of the Yanmen Iron Cavalry Order, and buried the lives of more than 100 people.
In view of this, Liu Jin felt that it was necessary to give Zhang Liao a long memory, so he transferred Zhang Liao to Xu Huang as his deputy, and at the same time exercised Zhang Liao, in order to reach the powerful Zhang Wenyuan in history.
With a wave of his hand to stop Xu Huang's words, Liu Jin glanced at Zhang Liao and said coldly: "Gongming doesn't need to say much, the general has already made up his mind." Wen Yuan, you serve as a deputy general for Gongming, learn more about how to use soldiers! As he spoke, Liu Jin pointed to his brain, which means that you need to use your brain more in war.
Zhang Liao lowered his head in shame, and didn't dare to look at Liu Jin, but said in a nuo voice: "Yes, senior brother!" ”。
Seeing Zhang Liao bow his head, Liu Jin was also relieved, he was really afraid that this stunned young man would be hot and do something drastic. Fortunately, Zhang Liao's performance did not disappoint him, which made Liu Jin feel more comforted.
"Tell the heads of these four thieves to the army, and throw them into the city!" , Liu Jin looked at the four heads on the ground and made a decision in his heart.
When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Jin meant, and immediately bowed down and replied, "No! Then he turned around and said to Hierro behind him: "Tell the head of our army to cheer up the army."
His own soldiers stepped forward to pick up the heads and spread them to the armies one by one, saying that Liu Jin had arranged for the Yanmen Iron Cavalry to rest, and he took Zhang Liao and Xu Huang back to the camp.
"At present, our army has successfully defeated the four-city thief army, and it is not difficult for Lecheng to take it, plus seeing the head of the four thieves today, the Lecheng defenders will definitely be terrified", after thinking about it, Liu Jin faced Xu Huang again and said: "General Gongming, our army is limited, and Lecheng is the capital of Hejian State, it is very important, only with the strength of our army, it is extremely difficult to completely hold this city."
Speaking of this, Liu Jin looked at Xu Huang, and then said again: "In view of this, the general has already discussed with the military advisor, and decided to send your troops to secretly sneak behind the side of the thief army, as long as this is the case, in a few days, Zhang Liang's army will definitely be defeated."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Huang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't make an enemy of the lord, otherwise I wouldn't know how to die."
Zhang Liao, who was standing next to Xu Huang, saw that Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed Xu Huang, Xu Huang reacted at this time, and hurriedly replied: "No, the last general will go and prepare."
"Don't be busy, the brothers have fought all night, and this trip is related to the success or failure of our army, and we must not lose it. Let the brethren rest for a day, and it is not too late to go on the expedition tomorrow! Go down and rest, all of you. Liu Jin stopped the eager Xu Huang and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao had no choice but to agree, and they each turned around and went down to rest.
Before the next day, that night, a scout shouted all the way and galloped into the Han army camp, waking up Liu Jin in his sleep.
Hurriedly summoned the scouts, Liu Jin hurriedly asked, "Where is Zhang Liang's army and how many people are there?"
"Returning to the lord, Zhang Liang's army has arrived in Wen'an County, one hundred and fifty miles to the north. The thief army is mighty, and the villain does not really see it, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 200,000 people." The scout remembered the yellow figure that covered the sky, and his heart still lingered.
Don't look at what Liu Jin and the two military advisors said lightly, but if you really have to face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, with only an army of 1,500 people, it is extremely difficult to hold on for several days, that is, these 1,500 people are all fierce pawns, and the battle situation is still unpredictable.
Gently waved his hand to let the scout go down to rest, Liu Jin stood silently in place, and after a long time, Liu Jin finally made up his mind and said awe-inspiringly: "Summoning Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Meng Ang, and Geyero to come to discuss the matter."
As Liu Jin's order was conveyed, the four generals who had slept for a day and half of the night came to Liu Jin's handsome tent neatly, and everyone was polite and sat down.
"The thief Zhang Liang Qin led an army of 200,000 to the south, and stationed in Wen'an County, one hundred and fifty miles away tonight, I don't expect that in two days, its front people will arrive in Lecheng" Liu Jin thought about it, and felt that he should still tell the truth, after all, these four people are his henchmen.
When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately stood up and said awe-inspiringly: "Then the general will lead his brothers to the battle now!" ”。 As he spoke, Xu Huang beckoned Zhang Liao and the others to get up and prepare to leave.
Before everyone could say goodbye, Liu Jinyi stretched out his hand and made a downward motion, and everyone immediately sat down again.
"Komei, this trip is so important that I don't think I need to say more. You must be cautious, after the plan is completed, you will quickly lead the army back to Lecheng, you don't have to enter the city, you just need to wander outside the city, so that Zhang Liang can't attack the city with all his strength! Don't dash and punch in vain, you know? Liu Jin thought for a while, and then advised.
When Xu Huang heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord will take three days at the least, or five days at most, and Huang Ding will lead the army back!" ”。
Autumn night light, the moon and stars are scarce.
A cavalry of about 800 people led the majestic war horses and lined up outside the Han army camp under Lecheng City, and Liu Jin and Xu Huang and others slowly walked out of the camp.
Looking up, the eight hundred horsemen and horses were all in good spirits, and the cavalrymen standing under the horses were also strong men. Each of these men carried three five-foot throwing spears on their backs, holding the reins of their horses in one hand and a hideous three-edged iron spear in the other.
Seeing Liu Jin coming, these cavalrymen fell to their knees and shouted in unison: "Yanmen Iron Cavalry, see the lord!" ”。
Liu Jinzheng was talking to Xu Huang, and when he heard this majestic voice, he suddenly felt excited. Looking at the cavalrymen kneeling on the ground, Liu Jin's heart suddenly became sour, and his eyes turned red.
Since the Yanmen Pass expedition, this loyal army has been locked all the way, and with its brilliant military exploits in the annals of history, it has shown its martial courage and loyalty to the people of the world.
However, behind this kind of bravery and loyalty, there are 1,200 heroic souls who died on the battlefield, recalling the grand occasion when he set out on the battlefield, Liu Jin could no longer bear the sour in his heart, and tears were like the Yellow River that had broken down.
Zhang Liao gently patted Liu Jin's shoulder with his hand, and called softly: "Senior brother, the brothers are waiting for you!" ”。
Liu Jin reacted at this time, stretched out his hand to touch his tears, and shouted violently: "Brothers, please get up quickly", as he spoke, Liu Jin also helped up several cavalrymen in the front row.
"Lord, can we still go home?" A cavalry commander thought of his family and his brother who had died in battle, and said with a slight choked up.
When Liu Jin heard this, his body shook violently, and he blurted out: "Don't worry, kill Zhang Jiao, a thief, and we'll go home!" ”。
Looking away, hundreds of people were secretly touching their tears, and in these tears, with the sorrow for their deceased comrades, but also with the yearning for home.
"Brothers, I, Liu Jin, swear to the heavens here, it won't be long before I will take everyone home and return to our Yanmen Pass!" , Liu Jin roared wildly in the sky, and the sound was as loud as thunder.
"Go home! Go home!! These iron-clad men frantically moved the iron guns in their hands, and burst out with a dream-like, but very loud shout.
This situation made Hierro and Monang cry too. These two invincible generals in the sand, the arrows of the Yanmen Iron Cavalry also have the same homesickness as everyone else.
"Brothers, I, Liu Jin, am here to bid farewell to all my brothers and get on the horse!" Listening to the sound of beating in his ears, Liu Jin knew that now was not the time for gossip.
With Liu Jin's order, more than 800 horsemen stepped on the war horses, and their skillful equestrian skills made these cavalrymen sit firmly on the horses.
When Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and the others got on the war horse, Liu Jin suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, and the sword came out like lightning, pointing obliquely at the sky.
"Yanmen Iron Rider"
"I'm invincible"
"I'm invincible"
The thunderous cry of the Yanmen Iron Rider suddenly resounded throughout the sky.
Liu Jin roared: "Let's go", and more than 800 horsemen immediately turned their horses' heads, clothed in moonlight, stepped on the dust, and drifted away in the darkness. (To be continued)
