Chapter 51: Breaking the Cavalry Cloud Chang and Capturing Xu Rong

The atmosphere in the tent brightened up at once, Li Ru turned around, and looked at the generals of Xiliang, "The two generals Wenhou, Zhang, and Fan each led 10,000 elite horsemen to ambush in advance. I don't know which general is willing to lead his troops to defend Xingyang, and when the time comes, he will act at the opportune time, and if he can cut off the enemy's food route, he will implement the first plan, and if not, he will lure the enemy deeper. ”

"The last will go."

Everyone saw that it was Du Wei Xu Rong, and Li Ru knew that he was very calm, and nodded at Dong Zhuo.

"Promote Xu Rong to the captain of the city gate, and lead 10,000 troops to garrison Xingyang, waiting for an opportunity to lure the enemy." Dong Zhuo put away his thoughts of escaping and made up his mind to fight the princes in Xingyang.

……

As soon as Xu Rong arrived in Xingyang, he really sent troops to intercept the grain route of the coalition army, fortunately Liu Bei had already prepared, and a melee came down, although there were few soldiers, but because Guan and Zhang were both ten thousand enemies, they did not fall behind, and fought until dark, and the two sides collected their own troops.

"Big brother, happy, Han Xing really didn't expect it badly, today it was all up to our three brothers to block Xu Rong, otherwise the weight of those rice buckets would definitely be burned to the ground."

In the military tent, Zhang Fei held the wine jar and drank violently, looking very excited.

Liu Bei nodded and looked at Guan Yu, "Thanks to Han Xing's reminder, our three brothers are also in the limelight in front of all the princes, so that they don't dare to underestimate it." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "I hope that after this incident, the princes will have a new understanding of the eldest brother's ability. ”

"I have sent someone Pegasus back to report the battle in Xingyang to the alliance leader, and asked the princes to send troops to reinforcements quickly, we have few soldiers, and it will be difficult to resist in case the enemy army comes in a big way." Liu Bei's face was full of smiles.

The three of them were drinking and celebrating, when they suddenly heard a shout in the tent, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Xu Rong's generation of famous generals, although they returned in vain during the day, they attacked the camp at night, how did Liu Bei and the three know the art of war? Just drinking and celebrating, he was killed by Xiliang Tie Cavalry into the village and rampaged, and set fire everywhere, cold arrows flew wildly, and three thousand soldiers and horses were suddenly in chaos.

These 3,000 soldiers and horses were originally Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and the deployment was naturally ineffective, Liu Bei's own family only had 500 soldiers, and the orders were difficult to understand in this dark night, and everyone was like headless flies, which made his own horses even more chaotic.

"Big brother, let's go!"

Guan Yu saw that the situation was no longer possible, and waved the Qinglong knife to rush forward, Zhang Fei unfolded the snake spear and broke it, protecting Liu Bei in the middle, and broke through to the southeast.

Where is Xu Rong willing to give up, leading more than 1,000 iron horsemen to chase closely, killing Liu Bei is no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, all the soldiers under him are scattered, and the battle is until dawn, only Guan and Zhang are around, and there is no soldier.

"God is dead to me!"

Liu Bei saw that his soldiers and horses were lost, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, tears like rain.

"Big brother, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, it's better for us to go back to Pingyuan County, slowly recruit troops and buy horses, and we will be able to make a comeback."

Guan Yu restrained Liu Bei's war horse and opened his mouth to persuade.

"Yes, big brother, as long as there is life, there will be a day of rise, don't be too sad." Zhang Fei also loudly comforted.

"What face do I have to meet the princes of all walks of life!" Liu Bei's emotion was not finished, but he saw a group of people in front of him blocking the way.

"Liaodong Xu Rong is here, you can't get off the horse and surrender."

Although Guan and Zhang were brave in the three armies, they were already tired after a night of fierce fighting, and they were hungry and thirsty in their stomachs.

"Brother Xuande is worry-free, He Feng is here."

A team of people came up from behind, led by iron-faced Tsing Yi, who else could there be if it wasn't Liu Wei.

Liu Wei swung his hammer, "Xu Rong, Zhongwu is scheming, don't get off the horse and surrender!" ”

Xu Rong was originally a victorious division, and when he heard Liu Bian's wild words, he held his horse, and led more than 1,000 iron horsemen to pounce on Liu Bian.

"Garrison arrow warfare - up."

Wu Anguo's voice sounded, and the accompanying four thousand soldiers and horses immediately took action, the heavy infantry knelt in the first row with large shields, the pikemen squatted behind, the third row of strong archers, and the fourth row of sharpshooters, a neat phalanx like steel hedgehogs, coldly looking at the Xiliang cavalry that rushed up.

"One hundred steps - sharpshooter - throw!"

"Seventy paces - strong archers - salvo!"

"Thirty paces - all archers - shoot!"

The arrows flew towards the Xiliang cavalry, Liu Wei and Dian Wei saw that the Xiliang army was shot on their backs, they saw Xu Rong's military flag, beat their horses and went out to take Xu Rong, and shouted at the same time.

"What are you doing? Kill. ”

"Oh."

Zhang Fei came to his senses at this time, and answered with a loud voice, and the three Taoyuan brothers took a strong breath, urged the horse to rush down, and cooperated with Liu Wei to meet the enemy.

Although Xu Rong is a master of the art of war, it is a pity that this garrison arrow battle method was created by Wu Lin, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was specially used to deal with the Jurchen cavalry.

In the battle of Hubu Dagang, 20,000 Jurchen cavalry broke the 700,000 army of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao State!

"The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and 10,000 cannot fight!"

Such a strong cavalry, in the confrontation with the Wu brothers, the Jurchen commander was shot and cried......

Arrows rained down in the air, the Xiliang army screamed in the sky, plus Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two fierce men, the Qinglong Yanyue knife waved a large piece, and the Zhangba snake spear stabbed a line, like a wave of rushing and killing, and the Xiliang cavalry was even more chaotic.

The infantry formation commanded by Wu Anguo was not chaotic at all, and the morale became stronger and stronger the more they fought, and the Xiliang cavalry could not defeat the heavy infantry holding shields in front, and the speed slowed down, and the impact was completely lost.

Liu Wei and Dian Wei intercepted Xu Rong to fight, Liu Wei didn't have anyone else in his eyes, so he stared at Xu Rong, and the double hammer hung out a denser and denser arc to trap him in it.

Dian Wei's pair of halberds killed Xu Rong's personal guards to death, fled, and cut down the flag after a short time, and simply swept the Xiliang army flag in the army, whistling, and the Xiliang army flew when it was touched, and hung when it was touched.

Xu Rong's strength is to lead the troops, not to rush into battle, and he is only second-rate in terms of martial arts, and after only a few moves against Liu Wei, he complained bitterly, and wanted to escape, but he was caught up and down by the double hammers.

The battle didn't last long, the Xiliang cavalry collapsed, Zhang Fei was able to kill, and was about to catch up, but he heard Liu Wei shouting: "Yide, if you capture this general, you can get 500 gold." ”

Liu Bei's three brothers lost the battle last night and didn't even have their underwear, and when they heard the five hundred gold, their eyes were red, and the three of them grabbed it together, surrounding Xu Rong in the core, Liu Wei took the opportunity to retreat, and led Dian Wei to start cleaning the battlefield.

Sanying fought Xu Rong, I don't know if it can be passed down through the ages, a smile rose on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth.

Sure enough, within a few rounds, Guan Yu took advantage of Xu Rong's killing in a hurry, stretched his ape arms, grabbed the ribbon of Xu Rong's battle armor, and captured him alive.

"Yun Chang is mighty!"
