Losing the rocket support of the Jingqi array, the Liangzhou soldiers who grabbed the head of the city were quickly driven off the city tower by the Hedong elite soldiers who took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Xu Rong, who knew that there was no hope of capturing the city, decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops and avoided greater losses.

Late at night, Xu Rongzhong's army camp.

In the sound of gentle footsteps, Zhong Xuan's elegant figure quietly appeared in the tent, and he saluted Xu Rong with a fist: "The lower officer will see the general." ”

"Why should you be so polite, sir?" Xu Rongsu said, "Let's take a seat." ”

Zhong Xuan hugged his fists and sat down in front of Xu Rong on his knees across the table, Zhong Xuan groaned slightly and then asked, "Xia Guan heard that the general's first battle was unfavorable?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Rong nodded and responded, "Xu Huang is good at guarding, this is true. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "The well array has not been able to break the city? ”

"The well array was burned by Xu Huang's five hundred dead soldiers." Xu Rong paused, changed the topic and asked, "Dare to ask sir, how is your progress over there?" ”

Zhong Xuan happily replied: "It is going very well, if nothing happens, it will only take three days to complete." ”

"Hmm." Xu Rong nodded solemnly and said, "In the past few days, General Ben will step up the siege of the city to confuse the defenders in the city and create an opportunity for Mr. to attack by surprise. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Please rest assured, the general is bound to win Longxian." ”

……

On the banks of the Weishui River.

Under the scorching heat, the smoke and dust were billowing on the official road, and a small army of horse thieves was marching unscrupulously, but soon this army stopped advancing, because the official road from Longxian to Fufeng County began to fork here, one crossed the Weishui and led straight to Chang'an, and the other along the south bank of Weishui first arrived at Huaili, and then reached Chang'an.

Fang Yue rode his horse to Jia Xu and asked in a condensed voice: "Military advisor, there is a fork in the road ahead, which way should we go?" ”

Jia Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked without answering: "General Fang Yue, if you are Xu Rong, which path will you take when you return to Chang'an?" ”

Fang Yue replied without hesitation: "Of course it's the North Road, the North Road is close and goes straight to Chang'an." ”

Jia Xu said: "What if the smoke and dust are billowing on the South Road, and there are signs of ambushes? The general or decided to take the northern route? ”

Fang Yue said: "There are ambushes on the south road, so you have to take the north road." ”

"Hehe~~" Jia Xu smiled, "In this case, we will take the south road, and then order the soldiers to drag firewood and roll up smoke and dust on the official road as a sign of ambush, and let small groups of horses from all walks of life come to gather and prepare for an ambush." ”

"What?" Fang Yue was stunned and said, "Since you have set up an ambush on the South Road, you should be in the North Road." ”

"What is true is false, and what is false is real." Jia Xu said indifferently, "Xu Rong is familiar with military books and is quite strategic, so our army must do the opposite." ”

Fang Yue said in a condensed voice: "I see. ”

……

The tiger prison is closed.

Accompanied by Li Ru, Li Su, Fan Chou, Guo Yan, Li Xun and others, Dong Zhuo went to the gate to watch the battle.

Dong Zhuo's confidant general Guo Yan said: "My lord, the two generals Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led the army out of the pass and stationed, and built earth mountains and high turrets with military divisions, and sent arrows to the Kwantung military camp day and night. ”

Li Ru stood on Dong Zhuo's left side, put his hand on the awning and looked forward for a moment, and said with a smile: "Lord, General Zhang Liao and General Fengxian have already led the army out of the village and gone to fight against the Kwantung coalition army, but the eighteenth Kwantung warlord has been frightened by the tiger threat of the two generals, and no one dares to fight anymore." ”

"Woo~~"

Li Ru's voice fell, and the horns suddenly sounded in the camp of the coalition forces in front.

"Huh?" Dong Zhuo's expression moved, and he asked with his eyebrows, "The sound of the horn?" ”

Dong Zhuo looked fixedly, only to see that the Dazhai that the coalition army had just taken down in front of him suddenly opened wide, and between the flags, a neat ironclad male division rolled out like an iron stream, and after seeing the formation of this heroic division, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sink his heart, and asked Li Ru urgently: "Wen Xiu, which Kwantung Army is this?" ”

Li Ru asked anxiously, and a small colonel who was familiar with the details of the Kwantung region reported back: "Back to the lord, this is the first battalion of Ju Yi, the subordinate general of Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, although the army is not much, only 8,000 people, but it is a famous elite soldier in Hebei!" ”

"Camp first? Hebei's famous elite soldiers! Dong Zhuo's eyes shone when he heard this, and he said in a condensed voice, "Can it be more powerful than General Ben's Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" ”

Guo Yan said: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world, and the first camp is not vulnerable at all. ”

After Li urged unwillingly, he also chimed in: "With just a few thousand people, General Fengxian's Xiliang Iron Cavalry only needs one charge to step on it into powder." ”

"Hahaha~~" Dong Zhuo was very happy when he heard this, and said proudly, "What the two generals said is deeply in line with my intentions, so let's get wine and food quickly, this general wants to drink and feast with the princes, and watch the wonderful show of killing the enemy in front of Fengxian Wu'er." ”

Li Ru waved his hand, and some of his henchmen hurriedly went down to prepare wine and food.

……

Before the Tiger Prison Pass.

Lu Bu pointed to the surging Xianden camp in front of him with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and laughed at Zhang Liao beside him: "In the Great War, the Thirteenth Route Warlord and tens of thousands of Kwantung Army have all been defeated under the iron hooves of our army. That's why these thousands of infantry were sent to die? ”

Zhang Liao stared at it, only to see that although this infantry did not have many troops, only seven or eight thousand people, but the formation was rigorous, well-equipped, and the dark iron armor gathered into a vast ocean of iron armor, although it was a thousand steps away, it could clearly feel the strong killing aura, but this murderous aura was far superior to the Kwantung Army that had taken turns in battle a few days ago.

"The general and the enemy should not be underestimated, this Kwantung Army is not comparable to the Kwantung Army a few times ago, it should be the elite of the Kwantung Army."

"Elite?" A contemptuous smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, he had already ridden out of his halberd, and only his cold words came from the air, "General Ben beheaded their main general first and extinguished the morale of this elite army!" ”

Zhang Liao only had time to remind: "General be careful." ”

Lu Bu rode out, and a landslide and tsunami-like cheers suddenly sounded on the Tiger Prison Pass in the distance, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrayed in front of the pass waved the horse chopping knife in his hand frantically, and roared deadly.

……

Coalition battalion.

Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Tao Qian, Han Fu and other eighteen-way Kwantung princes and their respective cronies and generals were standing solemnly on the gate to watch the battle, compared with the jubilant noise on the Tiger Prison, the coalition camp seemed unusually quiet, or demoralized. In the past few years, more than a dozen Kwantung warlords have been defeated, and the martial arts of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and the brave and good fighting of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Guan army soldier.

The morale of the Kwantung Coalition Army had begun to waver, and no one pinned the hope of turning defeat into victory on this Hebei infantry, which had only 8,000 troops.

Cao Ying also didn't think that Ju Yi's Xiandeng battalion would be able to defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Lu Bu, but he still comforted Yuan Shao and said: "I have to worry about this, General Ju Yi is familiar with military books and is very good at using soldiers, and he is a famous commander in Hebei, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao only have the courage of a horseman, and may not be their opponents." ”

"Well, that's not necessarily." The crowd didn't know who muttered softly, "Even the two generals of the Yongguan Army, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, can't stand up to Lu Bu's halberd, can Ju Yi be stronger than Yan and Wen?" ”

Yuan Shao's eyebrows jumped suddenly when he heard this, and when he looked around, the brave and incomparable Lu Bu had already driven the fiery red red rabbit to come out to fight again, seeing Lu Bu's leaping horse and raising his halberd, and his heroic appearance, Yuan Shao's eyes couldn't help but float a rich haze, can Ju Yi really save the defeat?

……

The two armies are in front.

Lu Bu pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, and the red rabbit horse under the crotch suddenly stood up, and the front hooves kicked majestically in the air, and let out a loud and extremely long neigh, not as good as the front hooves of the red rabbit horse landed, Lu Bu held the halberd of the sky in his hand, and Gu Pan had a proud spirit of despising the world, and shouted: "Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here, who dares to fight?" ”

In the continuous sound of the horn, the eight thousand first-timers did not stop advancing because of Lu Bu's battle! Under the baptism of Juyi's strict training and tragic war, these Hebei athletes have already grown into elite soldiers in a hundred battles, without the military order of the main general, they will never stop the pace of advancement, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they will stand up and rush forward.

"Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here, and the thief will come to death quickly!"

Lu Bu shouted again.

After boarding the camp first, the corners of Ju Yi's mouth bloomed with a cold murderous aura, a real military general will never be brave on the battlefield! Ju Yi was unmoved, the heralds around him were unmoved, and the surging soldiers who were advancing were also unmoved, and suddenly, the soldiers in the front row of the first camp were less than a hundred steps away from Lu Bu.

"Yo~~"

Ju Yi suddenly moved, his right arm was suddenly raised high, and the herald behind Ju Yi raised a pennant without hesitation, and waved it twice in the air, and in an instant, the infantry colonels who were all over the military array shouted loudly, and the loud and penetrating sound suddenly rushed into the sky, clearly sending into the ears of every soldier who had ascended first, and the surging pioneer had stopped the pace of progress.

"Oh~~"

Ju Yi's raised right arm clenched into a fist violently, and the flag waved, and the roars of the junior colonels changed, and the formation of the first dead soldier suddenly changed, and the hoplites in the ten rows in front of them suddenly squatted down. Standing behind the ten rows of hoplites were rows of crossbowmen, not ordinary crossbows, but giant crossbows that needed to be carried and fired by one person.

"Woo-ha!"

"Instigation~~"

When Lu Bu, who was a hundred steps away, was puzzled, a burst of thunderous shouts suddenly sounded in front of him, and the next moment, a piercing scream swept into the air in an instant, and the black crossbow arrows shot towards Lu Bu like dense flying locusts! Lu Bu suddenly gasped for a breath of cold air, slapped his horse back to the formation, and danced the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand behind him.

Although the red free horse is fast, it is not as fast as the crossbow arrow flies after all.

No matter how brave Lu Bu is, he can't stop the salvo of arrows.

In the neighing of the horse, Lu Bu's left arm and right rib have been hit by an arrow at the same time, and the back of the red rabbit horse has also been hit by three arrows.

Zhang Liao was afraid that Lu Bu would lose, so he hurriedly led 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to launch an assault.

……

Lu Bu returned defeated, the shouting and cheering on the tiger prison suddenly stopped, and there was a dead silence under the gate, Li Ru, Guo Yan, Li Xun and others raised half of the wine cup was frozen in the air like that, and it couldn't be taken back for a long time, Dong Zhuo's face still maintained the smile he had a moment ago, but his cheeks had collapsed, and this appearance became more ugly than crying.

Compared with the dead silence on the Tiger Prison, there was jubilation in the coalition camp.

However, when Zhang Liao led 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to launch an overwhelming assault, the coalition camp fell silent again, although Lu Bu was brave, but the real headache was this Liangzhou iron cavalry, a few days, more than a dozen Kwantung Army was defeated under the iron hooves of this brave and warlike Liangzhou iron cavalry.

……

The two armies are in front.

Ju Yi stood upright like a lonely pine, his well-defined face slightly revealed a solemn aura, and his dark eyes revealed a rock-like perseverance! What about the world-famous Xiliang Iron Ride? After today, people in the world will understand that the only person who is really good at attacking is Hebei to camp first.

"Attack~~ Forward!"

Suddenly, Ju Yi's raised right arm waved down coldly, and the next moment, the hoarse roars of the colonels had already resounded in the sky, and the soldiers who were waiting for the first battalion changed their formation again, and the first ten rows of hoplites quickly spread out to the two wings, and built a strong shield wall on both sides of the crossbowmen in the back row to prevent the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from launching a surprise attack from the side.

As for the front~~

Ju Yi has never considered frontal defense, the Xiandeng camp has always advocated attack, no matter what enemy he faces, whether it is a black mountain thief, a yellow turban thief or a Xiliang iron cavalry, the Xiandeng camp will force an assault from the front without exception, since it is an assault, of course, there is no longer a need for defense.

"Boom Boom~~"

The sound of iron hooves resounded through the world, and the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry swept across the battlefield like a wave of terrifying romance swept towards the Xiandeng camp, before the iron cavalry formation, Zhang Liao led the iron gun in his hand into the air, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was rushing behind him finally completed the final acceleration and slammed into the Xiandeng camp viciously at extreme speed.

……

Tiger Prison Forward.

Whether it is Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, or Guo Yan, Li Xu, or the nobodies guarding the pass, they are all deeply shocked by this incomparably magnificent scene in front of them without exception, a full 20,000 Xiliang iron horses launched an overwhelming assault towards the same target, and a full 80,000 iron hooves hit the solid earth heavily, the fierce sound of iron hooves is enough to suffocate, enough to make the most cold-blooded people feel blood boiling, uncontrollable.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but praise the festival: "The world's heroes, only I ride in Xiliang!" ”

"The Lord is mighty! Liangzhou Iron Rider is invincible in the world~~"

Li Ru raised his arms and roared, at this moment, Li Ru, who had always been elegant, was also full of excitement and shortness of breath, and the next moment, Guo Yan, Li Xu, Li Su and the defenders on the pass shouted one after another, and the fierce atmosphere was stirring again on the Tiger Prison Pass, and the contusion caused by Lu Bu's injury and defeat had already disappeared.

……

Coalition battalion.

There was a dead silence on the gate, and the timid princes and generals were already shocked with their faces like dirt and their bodies like chaff. Heroes such as Cao Ying, Sun Jian and Liu Bei, at this time, they couldn't help but look solemn, secretly thinking in their hearts, Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is so powerful, it can really be called the elite of the world, and the horse butcher Tiger Wolf Rider who ravaged the Central Plains back then is not far behind.

……

However, the next scene was far beyond all expectations, whether it was Dong Zhuojun who was closed, or the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Coalition Army who was shrinking in the camp and didn't dare to come out to meet the first camp, they couldn't believe the next scene! It looks like the powerful Xiliang Iron Cavalry~~ actually lost!

Moreover, it was a miserable defeat!

"Instigation~~"

In the endless roar, clusters of crossbow arrows were dense like locusts and rain, shooting angrily towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was galloping forward! Crossbow arrows are different from bows and arrows, bows and arrows are more of a face kill, while crossbow arrows are line kills, although the range of crossbow arrows is not as good as that of longbows, they can hit with high accuracy, and the power of direct shooting is far better than that of bows and arrows.

It is difficult for the direct shot of the longbow to cause fatal damage to the lightly armored Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but the crossbow arrows shot by the giant crossbow of the first camp are enough to shoot the strongest Xiliang war horse! When the rows of dense crossbow arrows came in a row, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was rushing forward, fell down in rows, and suddenly a crowd of people in front of the formation turned on their backs.

This time, it was a real man who flipped on his back, almost all the war horses that were hit by the arrow fell to the ground with a wail, and few war horses could continue to assault with injuries, or flee to the flanks to make way for the space for subsequent cavalry assaults! These fallen horses and warriors formed a multitude of obstacles, inexorably delaying the assault of the following cavalry.

Forced to slow down, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally ushered in an even more tragic fate, they were crowded into a mess, and they became a living target for the giant crossbow of the first dead man.
