"Humph! Do you think that by dispersing, you can escape the strangulation of my first army? The army listened to the order, the Xuanwu Array and the Vermilion Bird Array outflanked those cavalry cubs from the back road, and the Blue Dragon Formation and the White Tiger Formation supported the soldiers of the former army with me! Koji Yi pulled out the sharp arrow at his waist and shouted.

"Shoot the arrow!!" With Huang Zhong's tiger roar, the scattered Bingzhou wolf cavalry began to perform their mastered specialty skill against the Yuan army sergeants who were burying their heads in attacking Huguan.

"Poof!"

"Huh!"

"Sword and shield hand! Where are the sword and shield hands? Hurry up and put up a shield!! ”

For a time, the former sergeant of the Yuan army was shot by Huang Zhong and tens of thousands of wolf riders under his command. But as the sergeant of the Yuan army contracted the formation and used a large number of sword and shield soldiers to block, Huang Zhong and the wolf riders under his command were a little helpless.

Normally, at this time, Huang Zhong should lead the army to rush into the infantry formation of the Yuan army, and after penetrating the army formation with the impact of the cavalry, he should continue to use the rush to take advantage of the opportunity to reap the results. But at this time, hundreds of thousands of infantry troops were crowded together according to the terrain of Huguan, not to mention whether Huang Zhong could lead the army to penetrate this thick and terrible Yuan army formation, even if he did, he definitely didn't believe that the sergeants under his command could pass through the whole body.

"General Huang, look!!"

A military captain pointed to the red-armored crossbowmen who were gradually closing in the distance, and his face was panicked. This is because I don't know how many wolf rider brothers have died at the hands of those red-armored crossbowmen these days, and even some iron-clad men from the state can't help but tremble all over their bodies when they hear the sound of the crossbow machine firing!

"You want to use the infantry army to encircle and annihilate the cavalry? This leading general is too rampant!! "Huang Zhong didn't expect that after he scattered the cavalry to bypass those red-armored crossbowmen, these crossbowmen would dare to directly divide into two ways and outflank him without any protection from the melee troops! This is simply too deceitful!!

"The armies obey orders! These red-armored crossbowmen have always been Yuan Shao's only reliance to restrain our army, now we will avoid those crossbowmen in the west and kill the crossbowmen in the south! The old man didn't believe that our tens of thousands of cavalry scattered and rushed over, and their crossbowmen detachment of more than 10,000 people could shoot us all to death! As long as they are close, no matter how brave and safe they are, they can be the opponents of my and the state army? Huang Zhong glanced at Yuan Shaojun, who formed the 'Turtle Formation' behind him, shook his steel teeth, turned his horse's head, and pointed to the more than 10,000 people in the Xuanwu Formation and the Vermilion Bird Formation in the distance and shouted.

"Roar! Kill the past!! Destroy the red-armored crossbowmen and avenge the deaths of their brothers!! As soon as Huang Zhong's voice fell, a lieutenant hurriedly agreed.

"Kill it!!"

"More than 10,000 people want to encircle and annihilate tens of thousands of our wolf riders, it's really unbearable! Kill them all!! ”

"Sons, follow me in a loose formation!!" Huang Zhong clamped the belly of the yellow horse under his crotch, and took the lead in killing the detachment of those red-armored crossbowmen with a thick-backed machete.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

Seeing that those cavalry did not rush into the Yuan army's formation, but reflexively killed their own division, Koji Yi shouted with a heavy face: "Hurry up and give the order, let the Xuanwu Array and the Vermilion Bird Formation move closer to us!" ”

But at this time, it was already too late, since Lu Yi divided his troops into two directions and wanted to take advantage of Huang Zhong's attack on the Yuan army's main array, cooperate with hundreds of thousands of former army soldiers, and encircle Huang Zhong's cavalry in the front, rear, and right to encircle and suppress this pot pass, he was too proud because of the successive victories of the first army during this time, but he did not consider that Huang Zhong's cavalry troops did not win with impact like ordinary cavalry.

Now Huang Zhong's cavalry troops are cruising outside the large array of Yuan Shao's former army with the method of running and shooting, but they see that Lu Yi divided his troops into two ways and wanted to encircle and suppress himself, how could the veteran Huang Zhong let go of this opportunity? Taking advantage of the disadvantage that the Xuanwu Array and the Vermilion Bird Array were all infantry troops and their speed was extremely slow, Huang Zhong led the scattered formation of the Bingzhou wolf to kill them like a whirlwind.

"Xuanwu array arrows!!"

"Suzaku Array Releases Arrows!!"

"The Xuanwu Array is ready to defend against the enemy!"

There were no Xuanwu and Suzaku formations under the command of Koji Yi, and after only having time to release a burst of crossbow arrows, seeing that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry with the sound of earth-shattering hooves had broken through to more than a hundred steps away, the panicked Xuanwu array commander hurriedly took out melee weapons and prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. On the other hand, the Vermilion Bird Array on the side was suffering from the fact that they had just finished shooting a burst of repeaters, and they were hurrying to reload the rhubarb repeaters.

"Boom !!"

Compared with the first battle of the Xiandeng Army outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the situation was very different.

First of all, the Xiandeng army had already been ambushed on the high ground waiting for the Xiliang cavalry to send it to the door, and the generals of the Xiliang army did not pay much attention to those Yuan army sergeants at all.

Secondly, after being stunned by the first landing army's punch, the poor morale of the Xiliang army helped the first landing army by coincidence. What an army is most afraid of is that its morale will be 'taken away' by the enemy, and the Xiliang army, which has deserted, has lost the impact of the cavalry on the way up the high slope.

In this way, it is not surprising that the cavalry of the first army is superior to the cavalry in the white-knuckle battle, after all, the cavalry that loses its impact is often inferior to a foot army, not to mention that the first army of Koji Yi at that time was selected from the army of the princes.

But now? First of all, the battlefield was from the plain, and those who had first ascended had no geographical advantage at all, and the plain was already the home field for the cavalry.

Secondly, the 20,000-strong vanguard army did not have good commanders. Originally, Ko Yi was waiting for the Bingzhou cavalry to clean up the mess after his own Xiandeng army attacked the camp, and the Xiandeng army detachment of nearly 20,000 people was enough to deal with some Bingzhou cavalry who escaped from the big array. But He had thought that the cavalry of the state army would actually shoot at the steppe people, and the son of Koji Yi lost all the games, and now in the face of the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry scattered, the commander of the Xuanwu array took the lead in making mistakes.

Finally, the state army and the Xiliang army are simply incomparable. The sergeants of the state army were all carefully selected, and few of them were sent by Lu Bu to the county army to be responsible for the security work of some counties. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is all composed of the elite of the Bingzhou Army, and both strength and discipline are the top among the sergeants of the Bingzhou Army.

It was precisely because of the above differences that when Huang Zhong led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry into the first line of defense composed of the Xuanwu Array, those soldiers of the Pioneer Army, who were originally invincible, were cut down to the ground like straw.

Then the Suzaku Array only had time to release a round of crossbow arrows at close range, shooting a lot of Bingzhou wolf riders mixed in the Xuanwu Array into hedgehogs along with the sergeants of the Xuanwu Array, and then they were cut by the red-eyed and roaring revenge slogans of the Bingzhou wolf riders Crying Dad and Calling Mother, I just wished that I had eight legs, and I could leave here faster, and the formation, fighting and other things that I had worked hard to teach by Koji Yi were all forgotten by them.

"My sergeant!! My First Ascendant!! "Looking at the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army in the distance, the head of the sergeant of the Xiandeng Army that he had worked hard to cultivate for several years rolled around, and his eyes were red, and his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife!

"Take all those crossbows away, otherwise Yuan Shao will train a group of red-armored crossbowmen sooner or later." In fact, Huang Zhong's heart is also dripping blood, when the wolf rider under his command came out of Bingzhou, there were more than 50,000 people, but after several encounters with this red-armored crossbowman, coupled with today's battle, there are probably more than 10,000 people left intact now, and there are nearly 10,000 people left who are wounded by crossbows, and there is basically no hope of recovery after going back.

The reason why I say this is because crossbow is different from arrow creation, most of the wounds of the arrow are pierced in the flesh, and the crossbow is good to pass through the bones, and the bad ones are shot into the bones by the strong crossbow, with the medical level at that time, unless they are given the first-level treatment of the general, otherwise they are waiting for only a painful death due to the inflammation of the wound.

In the battle of Huguan, after Huang Zhong and others retreated, Yuan Shaocai withdrew his troops. After counting the damage, the soldiers of the former army who were responsible for attacking Huguan lost a total of more than 40,000 people, and countless people were injured.

And the Xiandeng army of Liyi lost more than 17,000 people, and Yuan Shao would not feel distressed if he only lost more than 10,000 people, and the most important thing was that most of the big rhubarb crossbows in the hands of more than 10,000 people were taken away by Huang Zhong's wolf cavalry. You must know that the cost of each of those rhubarb crossbows is a lot of money, and more than 10,000 rhubarb crossbows were lost at once, and it is said that Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and fainted when he first got the report.

Yuan Shao's side suffered a lot of losses, and the state army also suffered heavy losses. First of all, on the Huguan side, although there was the Huguan natural danger that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a barrier, but in the face of the Yuan army's attack on the sea of people regardless of casualties, Tai Shici's Huguan defenders still paid the price of more than 20,000 people to be able to hold Huguan. In the face of hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops, Huang Zhong's Bingzhou wolf cavalry left more than 10,000 people, and basically lost the opportunity to fight against Yuan Shao in the future.

In short, the final result of the battle of Huguan can be said to be Yuan Shao's victory, but the destruction of more than 10,000 Xiandeng troops and crossbows is difficult for Yuan Shao to accept, so Yuan Shao should call it a tragic victory this time

However, the Bingzhou army was facing the situation that Huguan was about to be lost, and Bingzhou was about to suffer from the entry of Yuan Shao's army, but they didn't know how Lu Bu should rescue Bingzhou

"Gong Jin, Gong Jin?" Sun Cexing hurriedly strode into Zhou Yu's house.

Zhou Yu gave Xiao Qiao beside him a look, signaled her to retreat first, and then replied: "I'm here, is there anything wrong with Bo Fu?"

Sun Ce sat down beside Zhou Yu unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Since Gong Jin married Qiao Lao's daughter with me, don't you feel bored playing the piano and singing here?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "I think Brother Bofu can't bear it, right?" ”

"Hahahaha, Gong Jin, who knows me! Since my father's tragic death, my grandson's family has been dormant for nearly a year, and now I have just received news that the combined state army of Lu Bu in Yanzhou in the north has attacked Yanzhou, and Cao Ying has been forced to withdraw from Xuzhou and return to Yanzhou.

And Yuan Shu, who has been in Huainan, took advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Xuzhou. I think this is a rare opportunity, we can take this opportunity to transfer the sergeants set up in Chaisang to guard against Yuan Shu back to attack the six counties of Jiangdong with me, if we can take the six counties of Jiangdong before Yuan Shu takes Xuzhou, we will have the foundation to win the world!! Sun Ce said excitedly.

Zhou Yu pushed away the xylophone in front of him, got up and said with a smile: "What are you still hesitating about?" While the news has not yet spread, we can quickly mobilize troops to take advantage of the opportunity.

I look at the Lujiang River to guard Lukang, and has been guarding against Huainan Yuanshu, and most of the troops are stationed on the northern front. If we lead the troops to attack Lujiang day and night, I am ninety percent sure that we will take Lujiang County!

As long as the Lujiang River is taken, we will have a bridgehead to enter the north of the Yangtze River, and we can also resist Yuan Shu's army north of the Yangtze River, so that we can attack Jiangdong more freely. ”

Sun Ce trusted his righteous brother, and after listening to Zhou Yu's strategy, Sun Ce stroked his palm and smiled: "What a Zhou Lang, I thought you were indulging in gentle township these days, but I didn't expect you to care about the world like me!" Hahaha, good! The soldiers are fast, I'm going to mobilize the army!! ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Brother, don't be busy, the younger brother still has some things to ask." ”

"What?" Sun Ce sat down on his knees again.

"Since the first lord was killed, several big clans in Jiangdong have treated me as nothing, and now the big war is together, after capturing the Lujiang River, those big clans will inevitably change their attitude. I know that my brother will definitely not give these people a good look, but for the sake of our goal of dominating Jiangdong, these families must treat them preferentially, so that we can take those children of their families into their pockets. Zhou Yu said seriously.

Sun Ce hesitated a little, and finally sighed: "If you can help me dominate the six counties of Jiangdong, I will not be responsible for the previous things." ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "In this way, the little brother has one more thing to report." Recently, I received news that the two brothers of the Zhang family, who originally lived in Xuzhou, have come to Jiangdong, among which the elder is Zhang Zhao and the younger is Zhang Hong, both of whom are talented. If the eldest brother has time, he must personally visit the door and bring the two of them under his command, but the talents of the two of them can fill the shortcomings of our army in political affairs."

"What kind of talent do these two people have, and they still need me to invite them personally? Why don't you just call a sergeant and bring them in? Sun Ce asked a little depressed.

"Zhang Zhao Zibu, young and studious, good at writing, from Bai Hou Zi'an to Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, read all books, and Lang evil Zhao Yu, East China Sea Wang Lang are famous and friendly. The weak crown is filial piety, not enough, and Lang discuss the affairs of the old monarch, and Chen Lin, a talented man in the state, is called good. When the main book of Runan should be discussed as the old monarch, the commentators all have similarities and differences with each other, and the matter is common in customs.

Zhang Hongzi Zigang, rarely traveled to Kyoto, returned to his hometown, raised Maocai, the public government opened, all of them were not enough, and now he took refuge in Jiangdong.

These two people are both highly learned but arrogant, if the lord sends someone to invite at will, the little brother dares to guarantee that they will never go out of our army, and even in the end, the two of them may escape from Jiangdong to avoid our army's conquest.

Only when the elder brother personally visits the door can the sincerity of our army be shown, and whether the two of them can serve our army depends on whether you can make them feel satisfied, brother. Hehehe" Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's aggrieved face, and immediately chipped with a champatle.

"Well, that's it. Now let's think about how to capture the Lujiang River, and after I capture the Lujiang River, I will go to visit the two great sages~~" Sun Ce sighed helplessly

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both resolute figures, saying that they would attack Lujiang, but they took the army mobilized from Chaisang that night and began to march to Lujiang.

Lujiang is too guarded by Lu Kang, but he is not a person who is full of wine, when Lu [***] Huang Sui and others connected more than 100,000 people with Jiangxiaman, conquered the four counties, and Emperor Ling worshiped Kang Lujiang Taishou. Kang affirmed the rewards and punishments, broke the stalks, etc., and the rest of the party surrendered. Emperor Jia Qigong, worship Kang Sun Shang for Langzhong. And the generation of Confucian general Lu Xun, who burned the company camp in later generations and made Liu Bei's soul scattered, is Lu Kang's grandson, after Lu Xun's father died of illness, Lu Xun has been dependent on his grandfather Lu Kang.

But unfortunately, at this time, Lu Xun was just a child in his early tens, and he couldn't help Lu Kang at all, on the night when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce personally led the army to attack Lujiang, Lu Xun only remembered his kind grandfather in the past, and his face was hideous when he was shocked by the news of the city breaking, and he vomited blood and died.
