Let's say that Duan Xuan led three thousand cavalry to the battlefield, the equipment of these cavalry is all similar to the Xiliang Army, big horse scimitar, stirrup horseshoe, in the time of the Xiliang Army, Duan Xuan has already understood the set of soldiers trained by the Xiliang Army thoroughly, even the equipment of the cavalry, he was also understood, according to the gourd painting scoop, after Li Ru ruled and merged the state, he immediately applied for the formation of a cavalry, the purpose is to compete with the Xiliang Army on the battlefield in the future, Duan Xuan has full confidence in his cavalry, as a general, All have their own glory, Duan Xuan's glory is the cavalry team he trained himself, it doesn't matter to him whether Li Ru rules or not, and fighting with the Xiliang army is a long-hidden wish in his heart.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo started his business, relying on cavalry, Duan Xuan knew more about the training experience of cavalry than Jia Rong, with the assembly of advanced weapons, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was rushing, even Li Ru could not admire the cavalry trained by Duan Xuan.

Three thousand cavalry, the order is forbidden, there is no crime along the way, scouts are all over the battlefield, at any time to inquire about the movements of the Xiliang army, day and night, greatly concealed the traces of the cavalry.

The scouts of the two sides met on the battlefield and began the initial temptation and attack, the scout, is the most elite existence among the cavalry, representing the highest strength of the cavalry, the scout is not only bold, but also careful and skilled in martial arts.

When Lu Bu heard the soldiers report the loss of the scouts, he couldn't wait to immediately lift Fang Tian's halberd, and personally went out on horseback, more than fifty scouts, in one morning, lost nearly ten people, this is an unprecedented situation, which also made him vigilant, there is definitely another cavalry wandering on the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is beyond imagination.

After years of campaigning, Lu Bu also understood a lot, and he was no longer the brave general who put the life and death of soldiers aside and only wanted to be happy for a while.

Same as Lu Bu, Duan Xuan was also heartbroken, the Xiliang army lost ten scouts, and the scouts in his hands also paid the price of more than a dozen people, both of them understood the importance of scouts on the battlefield, and if they lost the scouts, the army was equivalent to a blind man, no matter how big the cost, he had to fill it in, not only the duel before the two armies fought, but also the acquisition of intelligence on the battlefield.

The two cavalry did not meet, the battle between the scouts was particularly fierce, most of the cavalry in Lu Bu's hands were athletes on the grassland, with superb riding skills and superb archery skills, especially after the stirrups helped, the archery skills were also improved, which was a congenital advantage, these Xianbei warriors shined on the battlefield in Taiyuan County, and in the process of fighting with the cavalry of Bingzhou, they constantly combined ordinary training and engagement.

Pingtao in Xu Rong's build, like a copper wall, frowning slightly, Pingtao city wall is not as tall as Xihe County City but give Huang Zhong the illusion of being unbreakable, seeing the arrival of the army, the defenders on the city are not as flustered and at a loss as the defenders they met before, but they behave moderately.

"Who is the Hiratau Shogun?" Guo Jia asked.

"Xu Rong!"

"Xu Rong? This person should not be underestimated, but he was a famous general under Dong Zhuo's account back then, and during the Eighteenth Road Crusade, he led the army to resist the coalition army. Huang Zhong frowned, obviously he had already done some research on the generals under Li Ru.

Pingtao was heavily guarded, Huang Zhong temporarily ordered the three armies to set up camp, but still according to the previous procedure, shot a letter of persuasion to surrender to the city, this is a sharp weapon, the defenders are a little careless, maybe they will be opened by the bold people and merchants in the city.

The big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Jia kept frowning and pondering, Xu Rong, the general of Pingtao, was calm, and his army provoked several times in succession, but he did not go out of the city to face the battle, on the contrary, during this time, it seemed that there were more defenders in the city, but if you look closely, there are some new faces.

"Could it be that Xu Rong organized young men to defend the city in the city?" Guo Jia whispered, "If this is the case, then Pingtao City will be extremely difficult to attack. And the news that Lu Bu came back from the battlefield recently made Guo Jia feel shocked, seeing that the other party's cavalry is not a few, well-trained, and capturing and annexing the state seems to be not as simple as imagined, with Li Ru's means, it is definitely not the strength of the Xiliang Army that has been explored on the surface, these Jia Rong has also considered before.

Lu Bu heard the losses reported by the scouts, his brows twisted into a pimple, in the past three days, a total of hundreds of scouts have been lost, and the battle between the scouts has become unprecedentedly fierce, and the armies on both sides seem to be holding their ground, allowing the scouts to compete with each other.

The Xiliang army lost a hundred scouts, and the other party lost at least one hundred and fifty, Lu Bu couldn't imagine when Bingzhou had such a cavalry, which could be comparable to the Xiliang army, you must know that these scouts are all warriors on the grassland, even when Xianbei is strong, they are also strong soldiers.

Duan Xuan showed a sneer on his face, the scout lost more than a hundred people, and he also got important news, Lu Bu's cavalry only had a thousand people, while he had three thousand, under the cover of the army, it was enough to defeat the cavalry of the Xiliang army, Duan Xuan began to prepare a series of combat measures, and such a cavalry battle, if he was not careful, he could lose everything, he had to be sure that there were no other cavalry wandering around, so he would shoot, and he was very confident that Lu Bu had not found the location of his cavalry, this was the advantage.

The sky was getting dark, a crescent moon hung quietly in the sky, and the afterglow was sprinkled on a slowly marching cavalry team below, three thousand cavalrymen, with their horses wrapped in their feet, walked up, and then there was a lot less noise.

Duan Xuan was in the middle army, with a resolute face, and occasionally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Bu had just fallen asleep, and suddenly turned over and got up, and there was a slight vibration on the ground, which was clearly only available when the cavalry was marching, and hurriedly lay on the ground and listened carefully.

"Prepare for it, the enemy is coming!" Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tai Painting Halberd and shouted loudly, everyone moved, their war horses and weapons were by their side, sleeping in armor, as long as there was any movement, they could enter the battle state at any time.

At this time, Duan Xuan had already led the cavalry to the outside of the camp where Lu Bu was stationed, looking at the cavalry of the Xiliang Army who was slightly flustered, a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and the arrow had to be fired, the spear in Duan Xuan's hand waved, and the cavalry behind him who was already ready to attack shouted to kill the Xiliang Army.

One is the Xianbei warriors on the grassland, and the other is the elite built by Duan Xuan, and the two sides are fighting, which is not fierce.

The steppe cavalry, the bow and horse are skilled, and can make all kinds of evasive actions on the war horse, and the state cavalry, the victory is in the number of people, as the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, the equipment of both sides is the same, and most of the competition is the number of soldiers.

The number of the Xiliang army was at a disadvantage, and after fighting for half an hour, they showed defeat, and the warriors on the grassland still fought hard, and without orders, they would not retreat, even if they died in battle.

With a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, Lu Bu revealed the momentum up and down his body, which made people dare not look at it directly, one person and one horse, rushing left and right in the Bingzhou cavalry, arousing blood flowers.

Duan Xuan praised: "Lu Bu is worthy of the name of bravery, the Taishi carefully wooed him at the beginning, but he didn't expect it"

"Those who capture Lu Bu alive will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level." Duan Xuan pointed at Lu Bu and shouted.

After speaking, there were dozens of cavalry, killing in the direction of Lu Bu, and the cavalry rushed to the battlefield, more to gain fame and fortune, looking at Lu Bu's eyes, it was like seeing the money of white flowers, which was at your fingertips.

An hour later, the cavalry battle was coming to an end, Lu Bu saw that there was nothing to do, led the remnants to break through the encirclement and fled, a thousand cavalry, only more than 200 people left, the loss of nearly 800 cavalry in the first battle, Lu Bu's face was gloomy, if it wasn't for Duan Xuan's mental calculation, he led a thousand cavalry to be enough to fight with the opponent's 3,000 men and horses, the cavalry engagement, the speed and the quality of the cavalry, Duan Xuan raided the camp, the Xiliang army was just ready, and it was already inferior.

Duan Xuan listened to the results reported by the soldiers, his face with a slight smile lost his color, three thousand cavalry covered up and killed the other party, and even lost eight hundred people, such casualties are indeed unacceptable, but the equipment and war horses left by the Xiliang army have made up for these losses, with these things, you can reorganize a cavalry again, the experience of blood and fire can make the cavalry really grow, after this battle, Duan Xuan believes that the cavalry under his command will make progress be rapid.

"The scout immediately inquired about the news of Lu Bu and the others!" Duan Xuan ordered.

He wanted to completely eat Lu Bu's cavalry and cut off the wings of the Xiliang army on the battlefield.

Lu Bu only had 200 cavalry in his hands, which also aroused the fighting spirit in his heart, he dared to break into the enemy encirclement with a single horse, how could he be afraid and retreat, after ordering someone to report the loss to Huang Zhong, Lu Bu continued to lead the cavalry to wander on the battlefield, unlike before, this time it was completely homeless, and he changed a place with a shot, and never gave Duan Xuan a chance to get close, once he found an abnormality, he immediately ran away, and the initiative of the scouts on the battlefield was taken away by Duan Xuan for a while, and some information about the Xiliang Army was also passed to Li Ru and Xu Rong.

The casualties of the scouts made Lu Bu's heart ache, and in this case, he also went out in person regardless of his identity and recovered the losses of some scouts.

Archery is superb, martial arts are superb, Lu Bu out of the horse, between the scouts is the bloody wind and rain, no matter how many people there are on the other side, Lu Bu is not afraid, once directly with three scouts, facing the opponent more than ten people, only relying on the bow and arrow in his hand, all the opponents are shot off the horse, causing the Xianbei warriors to roar again and again, the tribes on the grassland worship the warriors the most, follow the footsteps of the warriors, not afraid of the death of life.

Lu Bu's hand shook the spirits of the two hundred cavalrymen, because the mood of the previous defeat was also slightly weakened.

After that, Lu Bu participated in the scout's battles many times, and he didn't see how he moved, just with the bow and arrow in his hand, the opponent's scout kept falling, which made Duan Xuanjun fearful, and the Xiliang army had a killing god with a bow and arrow, which was also widely spread among the scouts.
