In fact, at this time, the Kwantung anti-Dong Allied Army was divided into three units, the first of which was Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, etc. from Youyou and Hebei, with Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang as the vanguard; The second share is Yan, Xu, Qing Sanzhou Liu Dai, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, etc., stationed soldiers to sour jujubes, into the prison Tiger Pass; The third group was Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other Jing and Yu princes, who attacked Henan Yin from Nanyang.
The two largest military groups in contemporary times collided, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, so they could not be careless with small fish and shrimp like Deng Ji around them, lest they affect themselves.
The dove killed the young emperor Liu Wei and the Empress Dowager He, and divided the troops to repel Wang Kuang and Sun Jian, but the huge Guanqi army also frightened Dong Zhuo, and gradually moved the capital to Chang'an.
After the rebellion, when Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang for the first time, he saw that the nobles in the city were continuous, the families were rich and rich, and there was a lot of gold and silk property.
The women of the Xiliang Army, looting materials, killing people and setting fires, have long been complaining in Beijing, at this time, the capital was moved, and Lu Bu was sent to loot the emperor's tomb and the tomb of the princess, and loot the treasures; The rich are taken and their wealth is confiscated with their sins, and the innocent and the dead are incalculable; And coerced hundreds of thousands of people to move westward together to fill Chang'an households, Henan Yin had a population of nearly one million before, at this time by Dong Zhuo forced to move west, north to avoid Hanoi, Hedong, south to Nanyang There are also many people, and there is no more people within 200 miles around Luoyang.
In order to prevent the officials and the people from escaping back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned down the Luoyang Palace, the Temple, the Treasury and the houses within a hundred miles.
The whole city groaned in the flames, and the innocent people were bloody, tearful, and resentful, only turning into a song "Thousand miles of grass, He Qingqing." Ten days, no life", cursed his early death.
Dong Zhuo did such an atrocity, not sent Henan Yin to the Guanqi army, and the generals under it were ranked, and the first was Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong five lieutenant generals, and then Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Meng and other school captains, at this time, the generals were left to guard the counties, and Zhu Jun, another general in the imperial court in addition to Huangfu Song, guarded Luoyang.
From today's point of view, compared to Dong Zhuo, the Dong coalition army is more like a farce, Dong Zhuo is afraid of their huge forces, but Sun Jian's new defeat is powerless, and the coalition army led by Yuan Shao is more afraid of the combat power of the Xiliang army, and they are selfish and refuse to come forward, Luoyang was burned, Dong Zhuo retreated westward, except for Cao Cao, who acted as the general of Fenwu, no one dared to attack at this time.
The princes from all walks of life brought were state and county officers and soldiers, but Cao Cao still had no territory, and even the post of general Fenwu was self-proclaimed, and his subordinates were cobbled together by Cao, Xiahou and other Wang clans, there were not many people and horses, and the armor was not even, and he was defeated by Xu Rong to Xingyang.
When Cao Cao's army was defeated, the grain and grass in Yecheng gradually ran out, and there was no need to guard against the black mountain thieves, and Lu Yi finally made a move.
De Ma Pi and other probes told the officers and soldiers that the army was coming, and Deng Ji immediately sent people to take the path to the north to find Zhang Ping for help.
Several times the army of officers and soldiers staying in Wu'an, the pressure of Fukou is naturally great, Deng Ji, Ku and other generals have to think about various changes and responses every day, their own alone is difficult to support, Zhang Yan suffered a big loss last time, and he is willing to take revenge, if Deng Ji and others can withstand the offensive of Koji Yi in Fukou, his leading army will attack and kill from behind, and attack from the front and back, and he will definitely be able to break the revenge of Koji Yi.
Of course, this result is the best, provided that the family can hold the mouth of the house before reinforcements come.
The officers and soldiers pressed, and Tian Chou and Deng Zhong quickly came to the aid of 2,000 strong people from the Hou State, and Deng Ji felt a little calm.
This time, Koji Yi led the army to Fukou and then went to the outside of Fukou, and did not rush to attack, but sent people to camp slowly two or three miles away from Gukou.
"Soldiers, I'll attack them at night!"
The last time he was attacked by officers and soldiers at night, Tian Mazi couldn't forget it, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but propose it first.
"We only have one exit from Fukou," without waiting for Deng Ji to speak, Tai Shici continued: "Koji Yi will definitely make people watch day and night, and before they get out of the valley, they will know how to attack at night?" ”
But any famous general, will not let people easily attack, their own family was blocked in the mouth of the mouth, Deng Ji also knew that the night attack would not succeed, stared at the officers and soldiers camped outside the valley carefully for a while, and then said: "Koji Yi is not in a hurry or slow, it is imperative for us to win the mouth of the mouth!" ”
The bitter cockle, who rarely spoke, replied: "It wants to surrender without a fight!" ”
Liyi made this gesture, obviously creating a momentum of victory to suppress the bandits, but Deng Ji was waiting for Zhang Yan's reinforcements, but he wished they could delay.
It's just that no matter how slow it is, there is always a limit, and the next day, after burying the pot and cooking, Koji Yi began to prepare to attack the valley.
Jing Zhuang and others had already dug a trench in front of the fence that was one foot wide and one foot deep, and built many arrow towers, but Koji Yi also did enough this time, and after the current phalanx of more than 5,000 spearmen, he pushed two small trebuchets out.
Seeing this thing, many people around Deng Ji changed their faces.
If they slowly approach and smash rocks into the narrow canyon, you can imagine the casualties of your own side.
"Brave soldiers, auxiliary soldiers on horseback! The second brother and Tian Zitai are strong and guard the valley! ”
Deng Ji gave an order, and more than 2,000 soldiers hurriedly went to find their war horses, and the whole team obeyed the order.
"Little four, there is a gun array in front of the catapult!"
Deng Zhong hurriedly reminded that after entering the valley for a long time, he also knew a little about the common sense of the battle formation, and knew that the charging cavalry was most afraid of rejecting the horse pistol, and this gun formation was clearly put out by Koji Yi to prevent his elite cavalry from impacting the catapult.
Deng Ji glanced at the bitter cockroach and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, we have our own way to break the formation!" ”
"Out!"
There are strong and strong wooden planks on the trench, and the antlers are removed, Deng Ji shouted softly, the two halberds of the double halberd and the bitter cockroach hit the head, Wu Ning and Lazy Gu led the archers behind, and the iron cavalry rushed out with a bang.
The officers and soldiers had already seen the movement here, and they all lined up to greet each other.
The bandit cavalry lined up in four columns, went out of the valley in turn, and did not change the formation, and let go of the speed of the horses and rushed to the left corner of the gun formation of the officers and soldiers.
The war horse galloped, and the distance between the two was only a stone's throw away, and it was soon approaching.
"Take a bow!"
"Shoot!"
After the gun array, Koji Yoshi also had 2,000 archers, and when the bandit cavalry rushed into range, they immediately shot the arrows.
The knights bowed their heads to protect their faces, and deliberately covered their weapons in front of their horses, and the damage of the rain of arrows to the heavy armor was minimal, and they could only make a "ding" sound.
Deng Pimple has a lot of heavy horsemen, but I don't know if the combat power is still the same as before, is he really willing to use it to hit the gun array? The thought in Ko Yi's mind flashed, and his mouth had already ordered: "Ride out lightly and copy the road behind!" ”
By the time the second wave of arrows was fired, the bandit cavalry was less than twenty paces away from their own house, and the officers and soldiers who led the spear formation shouted: "Reject the horse gun! ”
The military order was shouted one after another, and the spears of the officers and men in the first three rows were all raised diagonally, and the entire large array of spearmen looked like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body.
"Turn!"
The bitter cockroach shouted loudly, and the brave man in the forefront led the horse's head to turn obliquely, and the cavalry galloped past with the guns of the officers and soldiers.
"Bow pawn leaves!"
In the rear, Lazy Gu and Wu Ning also shouted at the same time, leading more than 400 archers from the brave soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to break away from the cavalry and gallop forward in the front of the spear formation twenty paces away.
Bandits are not stupid! Koji Yi's face immediately changed, they didn't collide with the formation, they must have a plan!
"Halberd throwing!"
There was a shout from among the bandits, and in an instant, the halberds in the sky swooped down like locusts into the lightly armored and crowded spearmen.
This is the bitter cockroach after seeing Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Deng Ji three of the accurate secret weapon techniques let the soldiers practice, now the brave soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers each horse is hung with four small halberds, it is a melee weapon.
The training time was too short, and most of the people were not very good at the right head, but the officers and soldiers in the gun formation were crowded, and the iron cavalry was close to them, so there was no difference whether they had an accurate head or not.
The first wave of more than 2,000 halberds was thrown one after another, flying into the gun array, which immediately provoked a miserable scream, and no less than 800 officers and men were killed or wounded.
Koji Yi's face was already pale, and at this time, Lazy Gu also shouted: "Scatter!" ”
Frontally, a rain of arrows also flew into the group of officers and soldiers.
Due to the increase in the number of their own soldiers, due to the lack of armor and horse armor, the archers could only give up their original heavy armor and turn into light cavalry, but their movements became more flexible, and riding and archery was a compulsory course.
The four hundred archers shot scattered, galloped around the formation, and took countless lives.
With a few shots in two blows, the spearmen collapsed in an instant.
