Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Battle of the Female General
The time soon came to 189 AD, that is, in December of the first year of Zhongping, when the princes of all walks of life had already begun to act. At present, the princes of the eighteenth road have begun to march in the direction of Luoyang, among which Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Zhang Chao and others will meet in Suozao County, and then Yuan Shao, who is in Hanoi, will be the leader of the alliance, and then all the way to Luoyang. And Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are rushing to the south, Yuan Shu is currently annexed in Luyang, Sun Jian is raising troops from Changsha, and is currently rushing to Luyang to join Yuan Shu.
Next, when the alliance was over, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Wang Kuang also joined the coalition army of sour jujube and rushed towards Luoyang together. Then their army of more than 100,000 marched towards Luoyang, waving flags along the way, and the camp stretched for dozens of miles, which was very spectacular.
On the official road of Yingchuan, a group of more than 2,000 cavalry began to rush towards Suozao County, and if nothing else, they would soon meet with the coalition army of the Kwantung princes.
"Miaozhen, this time we are also going to give those Kwantung princes a blow to the head, to see if they can be so arrogant." Dong Liang said.
This person is Dong Liang, he heard that the Kwantung princes raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, and he knew that this was a time to show loyalty, so he took the initiative to ask to take the troops out, and then go to give the princes a slap in the head, so that he could make a first contribution. And Dong Zhuo also agreed, after all, Dong Liang brought Yang Miaozhen with him, and there were two thousand cavalry, even if he couldn't fight, he could run away, so he didn't have to worry about anything at all. So this is also the advantage of cavalry, you don't have to worry about not being able to run away, and their soldiers won't be able to catch up at all.
As long as it can give the allied forces of the Kwantung princes a blow to the head, An is very helpful for the internal stability of Luoyang City. It is necessary to let those Dong Zhuo's people see that the alliance of the Kwantung princes is actually not so terrible, but it is easy to be knocked by Dong Liang. And as long as this impression can be established, it will be helpful for Dong Zhuo's internal stability. In addition, after the Kwantung princes raised their troops, the situation in Luoyang City was not very stable, and many people would begin to change because of this, hoping to be able to cooperate with the Kwantung princes, so it was necessary to give this Kwantung prince a blow to the head, so that they could feel scared and let the opposition forces inside Luoyang City dare not mess around.
In the alliance of princes, a report was also received.
"Report ——, there is smoke and dust billowing ahead, and it is clear that an enemy is coming. And their banner has the word 'Dong' written on it, it is the arrival of Dong thief's army! A probe shouted.
And immediately Gongsun Chan immediately said: "Okay! We haven't gone to them yet, and they've come to us? How many people did they come? ”
"About 2,000 people, all cavalry!" Tanma shouted.
And everyone began to talk about it, obviously feeling very surprised by the cavalry. Because cavalry training is not easy, the cost of training cavalry and maintaining cavalry is not low, 2,000 cavalry is already a lot, you must know that the cavalry in Luoyang is only about 10,000 people, and the vast majority of them are infantry. And this time, Dong Zhuo also sent 2,000 cavalry, which also sent a lot of strength. And this made everyone feel a little shocked, Dong Zhuo didn't obediently wait for death in Luoyang at this time, so why did he send soldiers to attack?
"Good fellow, two thousand cavalry, this time you really look up to us! But what about two thousand cavalry, we still ate them at once! Gongsun Chan snorted.
Although there are a lot of cavalry, they are not taken seriously by Gongsun Zhan. Because Gongsun Chan also has a group of cavalry under him, called White Horse Yicong, all of whom are elite cavalry riding white horses. And they are very strong in combat, these are named after the Wuhuan people in the north, and they are not weak.
Soon, these people also came to a conclusion, that is, they must teach Dong Zhuo's cavalry a lesson. Dong Zhuo is now being condemned by the whole world, and he doesn't think about how he can defend in Luoyang City, so he actually takes the initiative to attack, which is really too bad for the Kwantung princes. In this case, if the arrogance of Dong Zhuo's army is not defeated, then how can Dong Zhuo see the deterrent power of the Kwantung princes. And in their eyes, they must eat these cavalry, and then give Dong Zhuo a blow to the head, and then boost their morale. And this time, Dong Zhuo was so bold, in the face of more than 100,000 troops, he actually sent 2,000 cavalry to fight, this is too "affordable" to the Kwantung princes, right? So this time they plan to eat Dong Liang's troops, and then they can directly hit Dong Zhuo's morale.
In this way, both sides also want to give each other a slap in the face, so it is natural that they will start fighting.
"Who's going to play this time?" Yuan Shao asked.
And everyone looked at each other, and finally set their eyes on Gongsun Zhan, that is, because Gongsun Chan had a cavalry under him, and the white horse obeyed. At present, everyone's most elite cavalry unit is the White Horse Yicong, and they think that the White Horse Yicong can of course defeat Dong Zhuo's cavalry. Therefore, they are also hinting at Gongsun Zhan, hoping that he can take the initiative.
"Bo Jue, this is a good opportunity to make a contribution!" A man with big ears and long hands said.
This person is Liu Bei, he is now attached to Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and his generals are just Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. And now he takes the initiative to persuade Gongsun Zhan, hoping that Gongsun Chan can take the initiative to attack, and then if he can annihilate this cavalry, it can be said that he has made the first contribution to the Kwantung princes, which must be very good. Now the princes are discussing Dong, and everyone also wants to accumulate their own political capital, as long as they accumulate political capital, they will definitely be able to lay a foundation for themselves in the future. This time the princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo was actually a means for everyone to accumulate political capital, and it was not really a crusade against Dong Zhuo. And if you can be the first to make a big feat, it will definitely be of great help to accumulate prestige in the world in the future.
Gongsun Chan thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I am willing to lead the White Horse Righteous Servants to face these Dong thieves! ”
Gongsun Chan soon took more than 2,000 white horses to fight, and this time it can be said that the white horses were dispatched from the nest, after all, the white horse Yicong is not a big road goods, and it is already very good to have 2,000 cavalry. And with more than 2,000 cavalry, Gongsun Chan is confident that they will not have a problem defeating ordinary tens of thousands of cavalry, so this is also very confident. The enemy is 2,000 people, so he should be able to easily clean them up, and even annihilation is not impossible.
"Gongsun Zhan, the general of Fenwu, led his two thousand white horses to fight from the battle, and the enemy general has not come out to die!" Gongsun Chan said loudly and angrily.
And Dong Liang saw Gongsun Chan in the distance, and they were all troops on white horses, and then he was suddenly surprised, he didn't expect that the first time he led his troops to fight was to deal with Gongsun Chan. And this Gongsun Zhan's strength is not weak, and they are all white horses. According to historical records, Baima Yicong is actually a light cavalry, and it is an archer who is good at riding and shooting, which makes Dong Liang feel a little headache.
"Miaozhen, this time it's up to you to command!" Dong Liang said.
Dong Liang directly handed over the command to Yang Miaozhen, after all, he was not very good at commanding the army to fight. And if it's day-to-day management, it's okay, but if it's really going to start, I'm afraid it's going to be a professional to be responsible. And this Yang Miaozhen is also a professional, who can help himself command the troops. Anyway, Yang Miaozhen is also her own woman, what is there to be afraid of?
"This time we can use the number two tactic!" Yang Miaozhen said.
"World War II tactics? No problem, right? The white horse is also good at riding and archery! Dong Liang said.
White Horse Yicong is good at riding and shooting, and if he uses the No. 2 tactic, then I am afraid that he will just hit the strength of White Horse Yicong.
"It doesn't matter, we'll have this thing in the future! So we're much better than Hakuba! Yang Miaozhen said.
Dong Liang looked at the thing that Yang Miaozhen pointed at, and he also smiled, this thing is a sharp weapon for cleaning up the enemy's cavalry, if there is this thing, it can completely increase the power of the cavalry many times.
"Lieutenant Dong Liang, lead two thousand cavalry, come to meet you, a martial general!" Dong Liang shouted.
"Hmph, little doll, a school captain, you were still breastfeeding when you were going to fight the world! This time, I won't teach you how to fight! I'm going to tell you today, ginger is still old and spicy. Gongsun Chan shouted.
Gongsun Chan has reason to look down on Dong Liang, because he is a veteran who has fought for many years, especially although Gongsun Chan is from a noble family, his mother's status is very low, so he can't get too high a status, and can only serve as a small official in the government. And his current status is all fought by himself on the battlefield, one by one, and there is no falsehood. But Dong Liang relied on the deterrent power of his uncle Dong Zhuo, and then he got the rank of captain, so he naturally looked down on Dong Liang.
"Hmph, I've just heard a sentence, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach!" Dong Liang replied.
"Boy, you're looking for death! White Horse Righteous Servant, rush me, slaughter that kid! Gongsun Chan was immediately furious and immediately ordered his cavalry to charge.
"Let's go!" Dong Liang said.
What made Gongsun Zhan feel strange was that Dong Liang actually did not directly charge to meet the enemy, but immediately asked the soldiers to turn back, and then it looked like they were about to run away.
"Little bastard, see if I don't catch up with you and dismantle you!" Gongsun Chan said angrily.
When Dong Liang ordered the soldiers to turn back, he immediately said to Yang Miaozhen: "Miaozhen, now you are in command!" ”
Soon, Yang Miaozhen also began his first battle in this world.
