"I once chased the tiger across the stream, but I couldn't help this little war horse." After dozens of attempts in a row, and six horses were changed one after another, Dian Wei still failed to learn to control the horse, his expression was a little lost, and Guan Yu, who was teaching him on the side, was also a little helpless.

Dian Wei always relied on his strong strength to control the horse, but not only did he not make the horse run, but he also kicked and jumped, Guan Yu reminded him several times, but he always couldn't change it.

At this time, Ji Ping, who had treated several seriously injured soldiers, came over and said with a smile: "Dian Wei, don't treat the war horse as an opponent, and don't try to control it, but treat it as your closest friend, let it feel your kindness, and control its own body with the rhythm of its running, so as to achieve the unity of man and horse." ”

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, looked at the war horse, and thought thoughtfully.

Guan Yu couldn't help but praise: "The lord's words are very important for riding, although he has been riding a horse for several years, he can't say this truth." ”

……

Thundered!

Nearly 700 horsemen ran on the wide avenue, along the west mountain all the way to the south, it was Ji Ping, Guan Yu and Dian Wei and their party.

Ji Ping let the soldiers rest for half an hour, and then led the troops to set off again, this time his target was Dong Min's cavalry!

Previously, Dong Min led his troops into the forest to chase him on foot, but he was blocked in the crack of the canyon, but now that he counts the time, Dong Min must not have returned to the mountains and forests.

Ji Ping sent Feiying half an hour ago to inquire about the situation, and it was a burden for the war horses to enter the forest, so Dong Min only brought 2,000 soldiers into the forest, leaving 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 empty horses outside the forest.

Ji Ping instructed Guan Yu in advance that this operation, not to fight hard with the enemy horse, but only to drive the two thousand war horses, as long as the two thousand war horses are out of control, the enemy horse will naturally be disrupted.

A moment later. In the midst of the attack, they saw a black oppressive field of war horses from a distance.

The 1,000 Qiang Hu cavalry who were resting outside the forest also seemed to be abnormal, and they all mounted their horses and prepared to meet the battle.

Ji Ping ignored them. Fang Tian's halberd pointed to the location of the two thousand empty horses and shouted, "Rush over!" ”

Seven hundred cavalry rushed to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the herd.

The uncontrolled horses began to panic and run in all directions, but they did not form a fixed direction of running, and it was not easy to drive the horses.

At this moment, the red rabbit horse seemed to understand Ji Ping's intentions, and suddenly his front hooves took off into the air, looking up to the sky and neighing, like thunder. Show the power of the king of horses!

The group of horses suddenly moved.

Ji Ping was overjoyed, and hurriedly urged the red rabbit horse to drive away, and the flying shadows and Guan Yu cavalry formed a goose formation with him to drive away, and the horses began to rush towards the Qianghu cavalry.

When the 1,000 Qianghu cavalrymen who had just climbed on horseback saw this scene, they scattered and fled with strange screams, it was one thing to fight against the enemy, but it was another thing to hedge against the horses, they were born in the frontier land, and they were most familiar with the momentum of the horses.

The horses slowly got faster, and everywhere they passed. Even if the cavalry fled quickly, many of them were trampled under the hooves of their horses and turned to pulp in an instant.

Look at the group of cavalry scattered in all directions. Guan Yu and Dian Wei, who had just been riding a horse, laughed loudly, and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the enemy.

Ji Ping shouted: "Don't fight, drive the horses, turn to the southeast!" ”

His strategic goal was to delay the enemy soldiers first, as for these fleeing cavalry, at least until Dong Min left the forest, he would not act on his own, and now, he had to rush to rescue Geng Zhong, who had delayed Xu Rong's 3,000 infantry.

……

In the south of the city, on a flat and wide field. More than 2,000 soldiers besieged a small forest.

The rain curtain is confused, and the word "Dongzhong Lang will Xu" is under the banner. A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Rong's mouth.

Yesterday, he was harassed and attacked by more than 1,000 soldiers on the other side, and suffered heavy losses. It was difficult to move an inch, but it was not long after, especially after a battle in the wilderness, Xu Rong suddenly realized the intention of this group of soldiers, and only delayed their progress.

After realizing this, Xu Rong did not fight with these soldiers in the Xiangting residential area, but did not hesitate to waste time and make a detour to the east and west.

Sure enough, the soldiers were fished out, and only 800 of them were besieged and killed, and they retreated to this grove.

Xu Rong believed that he only needed to organize one more strong attack to destroy all the enemy soldiers, and then wave his army to Luoyang.

"Beat the drums, the whole army will attack!" Xu Rong gave an order to the flag commander beside him, his voice was calm, but full of murderous aura, he had been dragged by these soldiers for long enough.

"Kill!" The Qianghu soldiers roared from the formation and rushed towards the woods.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the northwest direction, and the momentum was no less than two thousand horses, Xu Rong was stunned, how could Dong Min return? Could it be that something happened?

Except for Dong Min, he couldn't think of any other cavalry that would come, but he had an inexplicable sense of danger in his heart, which he had trained over a long period of time and stemmed from his keen awareness of various abnormal factors.

"Herald! Stop the offensive and set up a position in the northwest. "The army has always paid attention to military orders, but at this time, Xu Rong still decisively changed the military orders that had just come out.

The charging Qianghu infantry formation was in confusion for a while, and then turned to the northwest formation.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of war horses appeared in the northwest direction, galloping wildly, and all of them were empty at first.

Xu Rong couldn't help but get up, his face changed greatly, these war horses were clearly matched by Dong Min's cavalry, but what about Dong Min? Dong Min's 3,000 soldiers!

He didn't know that Dong Min, who was worried about him at this time, had just led his two thousand soldiers out of the mountain forest step by step, and looked at the hundreds of remnants left outside the forest, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

……

On the western front of Luoyang, with the retreat of Yuan Shao's army in Biguiyuan, Dong Zhuo rode thousands of iron horses straight into the western city of Luoyang.

Cui Jun, who was ordered by Ji Ping to organize the retreat of the people, urgently ordered the soldiers to set up obstacles on the roads behind him, including ropes, rafters and various furniture, temporarily blocking the cavalry at the front line, so that the last 20,000 people could cross the palace and withdraw to the east of Luoyang.

The Imperial Palace is the best line of defense, the entire palace is built on a rammed earth platform, the terrain is high, stretching from the north mountain to the bank of the water, separating the city into two halves.

Immediately, Cui Jun led the soldiers into the North Palace, relying on the palace city to arrange a defensive line on the upper west gate and the Xia Gate, while Yuan Shao, who had retreated, gathered the rout army in the South Palace and deployed defenses in the Yongmen and Guangyang gates.

At the same time, the loss of Bi Guiyuan, Zhang Miao and other princes who directly led the garrison of the West Garden faced the danger of being attacked on three sides or even surrounded on all sides.

Zhang Miao, Zhang, Qiao Mao, and Kong Ling led the retreat, and Zhang Liao, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin saw that Xicheng had fallen. Sooner or later, they will be alone in this place, and they will have no choice but to retreat.

In the middle of the night on March 28, the army of the West Garden began to secretly retreat. Zhang Miao, Zhang, Qiao Mao, and Kong Ling retreated in turn, and then divided 3,000 soldiers and horses to be led by Zang Hong. After breaking off with Zhang Liao, Cao Cao and Bao Xin guarded the flanks.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's cavalry had already infiltrated Luoyang at some point, ambushed them on the way back, and killed them by surprise.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo's cavalry also attacked on the northern flank, and Cao Cao and Bao Xin struggled to resist, but the army of several princes of Zhang Miao had just experienced a rout not long ago, and the army's heart was undecided. At this time, as soon as he was ambushed, he immediately broke up again and fled in panic.

In the middle of the night, Yuzhou assassin Shi Kong Ling was killed by an arrow, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin was seriously injured, Guangling Taishou Zhang was seriously injured, and Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao was missing.

Almost at the same time, the Niu auxiliary army in front of the West Garden also pursued in full pursuit, but was killed by Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei with an army each after the break, and fought back.

But at this time, the shape shì is already difficult to clean up. The victory of Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei was just a drop in the bucket for the complete rout of the Kwantung princes. The West City of Luoyang has become a mess.

And Jizhou Mu Hanfu has secretly crossed the river and retreated all the way to Yecheng.

On the night of March 28, in Xiaopingjin in the north of Luoyang, Hu Zhen suddenly killed from the mountains in the north, broke up the 300 guards arranged there by Xun Di, and killed directly at the pontoon bridge.

The people who were crossing the river overnight were frightened, and in their panic they fell into the water countless times, and they were in danger. Zhonglang personally took Xun Di with eighty archers and inserted them into the enemy formation. Random arrows shot Hu Zhen's army, and Hu Zhen was hit by several arrows. had to lead the troops to retreat temporarily, and was driven back to the north of the mountains by Xun Di.

But in the chaos of the night, Yuan Kui, the Taifu who led the Yuan family to cross the river, fell into the water with an arrow, and when Yuan Ji led people to salvage it, he was already out of breath.

On March 29, Zhang Miao, Zhang, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin, who had retreated from the West Garden, retreated to the imperial palace.

Zhang Miao and Zhang led the remnants of their soldiers without staying behind, and continued to retreat eastward to Tiger Pass.

Cao Cao stayed in the palace, while letting the military doctor treat Bao Xin, and at the same time collecting the retreating rout with Yuan Shao, and the 8,000 soldiers under the dead Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling, most of them were absorbed by the two.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei and Zang Hong led more than 5,000 horses and horses to fight and retreat along the Luoshui, retreating from the two ancient bridges west of the palace to the south of the Luoshui, holding the bridgehead tightly, and blocking Dong Zhuo's cavalry from moving south with the help of geographical advantages.

At this time, there were still about 40,000 people in the south of the river who had not yet crossed the river, and under the leadership of the three elders and pavilion chiefs in the townships, they were all concentrated in the wide pontoon bridge built by Shi A and Tang Fang in the east of the palace, and some people were scattered in the hidden villages, but it was difficult to take care of them for a while.

In the southeast of Luoyang, there were gathered the people and rebels who had withdrawn from Xicheng and Nancheng, with a total of nearly 300,000 people, and in the chaos, they went to the two narrow roads of Xiaopingjin and Hujiaoguan, but the pontoon bridge of Mengjin Pass could not be built for a while.

In addition, many people fled to the mountains on all sides of Luoyang to avoid disaster.

Tang Fang led soldiers and horses to maintain order everywhere, this honest-looking young man was also a ruthless lord at a critical time, all the rebellious soldiers and bad children who dared to take advantage of the chaos were directly killed by him, hanging to the public, and not giving a chance, which deterred those who fished in troubled waters and had bad intentions.

In a side hall of the South Palace, Yuan Shao sat on it, his face was pale, he was hit by Lu Bu's arrow in front of Hangu Pass, although it was not fatal, but he ran around for days, the wound could not heal, and the pain became worse.

"I have heard that the cavalry of Liangzhou is the elite of the world, and now I know that it is brave and invincible." Yuan Shao sighed and looked at the generals Xu You, Feng Ji and Chun Yuqiong: "For today's plan, where should I go?" ”

Feng Ji glanced at Xu You, and said in a deep voice: "The lord should not have listened to Xu Yu's words, so he is deep in the quagmire of Luoyang today, and now Han Fu has returned to Ye with his troops. ”

"This is a bad word," Xu You sneered: "The lord wants to dominate the world's heroes, relying on the world's fame, this time Luoyang to ask for Dong, the lord is the leader of the alliance, it can be said that the reputation has spread all over the world, now although the army is defeated, but the Shenwu King has rescued hundreds of thousands of Li Shu, such a great achievement, all rely on the alliance lord to resist Dong Zhuo in front, as long as a little means, the world will know that this great achievement is in the alliance master." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "I don't know what means Ziyuan has to spread my merits?" ”

Xu You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now half of the hundreds of thousands of Li Shu in Luoyang have moved to Hanoi, as long as the lord guards the palace and resists Dong Zhuo, and when Li Shu crosses the river as many as he wants, and then takes Hanoi to appease the people, then the great merit is at ease with the lord." And hundreds of thousands of Li Shu, the source of the male soldiers! ”

"Good! Good! Yuan Shao stroked his palms and smiled, and then frowned again: "But I don't know how Guo Yuan is in Hanoi?" That Shenwu King has a lot of means, but I don't know who it is? If it is really the king of Hongnong......"

Xu You shook his head and laughed: "Don't worry, my lord, I expect that the Shenwu King must not be the King of Hongnong, otherwise he will give up the great opportunity, and he has already taken advantage of the princes to ask Dong to become the emperor in Luoyang!" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, thinking deeply.

Xu You said: "He is the king of Hongnong, the lord is just to support him as the son of heaven, and the lord will be a general, control the world's soldiers and horses, and become the hegemony of Qi Huan and Jinwen." ”

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and showed a hint of a smile. (To be continued)
