The five hundred dragoons stood straight with their chests and hips straight. A pair of eyes looked at Liu Wei who was standing in front of their queue.

The golden feathers on the helmets of the dragoons shook slightly in the wind, setting off cascading waves, like a wave dancing in the wind, which was spectacular at a glance.

Like the officers and soldiers of the Dragoon Guard, Liu Wei straightened his body, wrinkled his brows slightly, and shouted to the five hundred elites in front of him: "Tell this king, how are you training to follow General Deng?" Possibly on the verge of killing an enemy? ”

"Yes!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, the five hundred dragoon guards all showed a look of expectation on their faces, and their eyes flashed with a strong battle intent, and they all responded in unison.

All the dragoon guards were the warriors in the main force of Liu Bianjun. Each of them had followed Liu Wei to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and many of them even left scars on their bodies that could never be erased.

Soldiers who have experienced war are not afraid of killing, they have long regarded war as the only purpose of survival. There is no fight to fight, and it is the deepest torture for them. Only the battlefield of swords and swords, only the baptism of blood and sand, and only lying quietly in a pool of blood are the destinations they ultimately desire.

"The Niu Auxiliary Department of the Xiliang Army, when General Hu Cai escorted copper coins and grain and grass, attacked our army while it was halfway across the Yellow River." With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei walked back and forth in front of the five hundred dragoon guards, looking at the dragoon guards as he walked, and shouted to them: "Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Grain, grass and money have also been robbed by the Xiliang army, the reconstruction of Luoyang is bound to be blocked, and the officers and soldiers inside and outside the city are bound to starve because of this. ”

"Grab it back!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, a soldier in the dragoon guard team raised his arm high and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, all the dragoons raised their arms and shouted in indignation: "Grab it back!" ”

"It's not just about getting it back!" Liu Wei stopped, faced the officers and soldiers of the dragoon guard, and shouted to them: "We will kill all the Xiliang troops who dare to plunder our army!" Avenge the death of their brothers at their hands! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! Knowing that the Xiliang Army dared to openly provoke, the officers and soldiers of the Dragoon Guard were full of anger on their faces, raised their arms high, and shouted with Liu Wei.

"General Deng!" Seeing that the morale was almost encouraging, Liu Wei turned around, faced Deng Zhan, and shouted to him: "This king orders, immediately prepare the dragoon guards, and follow this king to chase and kill the Xiliang army!" ”

"No!" Deng Zhan clasped his hands into fists, answered, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers of the dragoon guard: "Everyone, prepare your horses, and go out with Your Highness!" ”

After receiving the order to go to the army, the officers and men of the dragoon guard shouted in unison, and the team dispersed in a hurry, and everyone ran quickly to the stables in the barracks, and each of them took out their horses.

Although the Dragoon Guard Camp does not occupy a large area, the supporting facilities are very complete. The open space in the front yard is where they usually train their troops, and there is a courtyard in the back, and in the courtyard are rows of stables, which are kept on their mounts when they go on the expedition.

Since the number of people and horses are not very large, the mounts are directly kept in the barracks, and there will not be too much inconvenience, and every day there will be Yulin guards to the barracks, helping them to lead the mounts to the outside of the city for grazing, and each horse is raised fat and strong, with shiny hair.

The content of the dragoon's daily training is foot warfare, but the war horses are like Yulinwei, one per person, and all of them are high-headed horses of excellent northern breeds.

"Get on the horse!" When the dragoon guards led the horses out of the backyard and lined up again, Deng Zhan waved at them and gave the order to get on the horse.

With the sound of a neat "boom", all the five hundred dragoon guards got on their horses, one by one holding the reins, staring at Liu Wei, just waiting for him to give the order to set off.

"Your Highness, please!" When the officers and soldiers of the dragoon guard got on the horses, Deng Zhan bowed slightly, hugged his fists and asked Liu Wei to get on the horse.

Nodding to Deng Zhan, Liu Wei took the reins from one of the dragoon guards and jumped on horseback.

led this team, which had never shown its face in front of the world, out of the palace, and walked straight along the street towards the west gate of Luoyang City.

More than 500 cavalrymen wearing red armor and golden feathers on their helmets rushed out of the palace under the leadership of Liu Wei. The heavy horses' hooves stepped on the bluestone pavement, making a loud roar, and the people on the street hurried to the side of the road, watching the procession run in front of them.

Liu Wei led the team out of the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to stop it, and when Liu Wei and the others left, the officers hurriedly sent people to report to Xu Shu, who was presiding over the construction of Luoyang.

Knowing that Liu Wei only led 500 people out of Luoyang City, Xu Shu was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Guan Qing, and Guan Hai to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to follow out of the city and go to the aid of Liu Wei.

But when Zhao Yun and the others left the city, Liu Wei and Deng Zhan had already led the team, and those who had left early were gone.

"Generals!" Out of the west gate of the city, has been chasing for more than ten miles, Zhao Yun reined in the war horse, shouted to Tai Shici and others: "The city is empty, Your Highness doesn't know which road to go to the Yellow River, a certain and the generals each led 2,500 people, encounter the enemy army Don't love to fight, find Your Highness just light the wolf smoke as a number!" ”

Zhao Yun proposed to look for it separately, Tai Shici and the others also thought so, they all clenched their fists and arched towards him, each leading two thousand five hundred people, divided into four roads, and chased Liu Wei in the northwest direction.

At this time, Liu Wei led five hundred dragon cavalry guards and went straight to the Yellow River without stopping. The scouts sent sent to keep sending back news that Hu Chi'er had robbed the money and grain, and did not withdraw his troops immediately, but forced the team led by Hu Cai to the Mengjin Ferry, intending to annihilate them all.

Knowing that the war was urgent, Liu Wei did not dare to delay, and kept holding the horse's belly between his legs, urging the horse to run quickly towards the Mengjin ferry.

Liu Wei was no stranger to the Yellow River, having crossed the Yellow River several times and engaged the enemy. In the vicinity of Tiger Prison Pass, this river once saved the lives of him and more than 100 strong people under his command.

But this time, the Yellow River did not favor Liu Wei's army, but created an opportunity for the Xiliang army to attack Liu Wei's army's supply team.

led the team, galloped on horseback, and did not arrive at the periphery of Mengjin Ferry until the sun set, Liu Wei and others.

Pulling up the reins to stop the warhorse, Liu Wei raised an arm and stopped the advance of the team. It was quiet ahead, but there was only one road leading to the ferry. The road was empty, and there was no sign of a confrontation between the two armies at all.

"Send someone to the front to investigate, and if there is any information from General Hu Cai, report it to this king immediately!" Staring ahead, Liu Wei gave an order to a dragoon officer who followed behind him.

The officer received the order, waved behind him, and immediately a fast horse left the group and galloped toward the ferry.

Leading the team to wait for only a stick of incense, the soldier who sent Lu to investigate the situation rode his horse back, and when he approached Liu Wei, the soldier turned over and jumped off the war horse, half-knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there is no sign of a large army at the ferry, but there are many corpses of our army and Xiliang army along the way. ”

"Let's go!" After listening to the soldier's report, Liu Wei waved to the team behind him and shouted: "Go to the front and take a look!" ”

Not long after leading the team, Liu Wei saw some corpses lying on the ground in front of him, either wearing red or black armor.

Judging by the corpses and the messy marks on the ground, this place once experienced a brutal fight.

Riding a horse and walking forward for a while, more and more corpses appeared in front of Liu Wei and the others. Most of these corpses were Xiliang soldiers wearing black armor, and only a few were Liu Weijun wearing red armor.

"Your Highness, it seems that our army has not suffered a loss!" Looking at the dead bodies everywhere, Deng Zhan came to Liu Wei's side, lowered his voice and said to him: "Maybe General Hu Cai has already won and pursued the Xiliang army." ”

"Get ready for battle!" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, Liu Wei did not answer his words, but raised one arm and shouted to the dragoon guards behind him.

With Liu Wei's order, all the dragoon guards drew their long swords, but they did not jump off their horses, but consciously formed a circle, protecting Liu Wei and Deng Zhan in the middle.

As soon as the officers and soldiers of the dragoon guard lined up in formation, Deng Zhan didn't understand what was going on, and suddenly there was a burst of noise around him, and the originally empty ferry port suddenly appeared in a black pressure against the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang Army, which drilled out from behind the rugged rocks, made a quick detour, and soon cut off the back road of Liu Wei and others, and countless archers of the Xiliang Army opened their longbows, mounted arrows, and aimed at Liu Wei and others.

"Hold the shield!" The Xiliang Army suddenly appeared, but Liu Wei was not surprised at all, he drew his long sword and shouted again to the dragoon guards who were in a circle.

Five hundred people unloaded their shields from their backs, and there was only a uniform sound.

"Kill!" After looking around, Liu Wei found that the Xiliang army on the left was very close to them, so he turned his horse, pointed his long sword forward, shouted, jumped out of the circle surrounded by the dragoons, and took the lead in riding his horse and rushing to the left.

Surrounded Liu Wei and the others, Xiliang Jun obviously didn't expect Liu Wei to react so quickly and rush to the left to kill.

When Liu Wei led the army to rush out, he was about to rush to the front of the Xiliang army array on the left, and Hu Chi'er, who led this group of Xiliang army ambushes, suddenly reacted and ordered the archers to fire arrows.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Hu Chi'er rode on a war horse, carrying a spear, constantly waving the barrel of the gun, shouting loudly, letting the Xiliang army fire arrows.

It's a pity that his order was given too late, and when he shouted "release the arrow" for the first time, Liu Wei had already led Deng Zhan and five hundred dragoon guards to crash into the array of archers of the Xiliang Army on the left.

The chest of the heavy war horse hit the body of the archers of the Xiliang Army, and the archers who were directly hit could not withstand such a powerful impact.

Many people screamed and were knocked out of the horse, and some of the archers of the Xiliang Army who were not knocked out of the air were trampled under the hooves of the horses by the war horses with their front hooves raised high.

Breaking up the array of archers of the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off his horse, brandished his long sword, and slashed at the Xiliang officers and soldiers who were blocking in front of him.

Deng Zhan, who rushed into the Xiliang Army's array with him, also jumped off his horse and soon fought with the Xiliang Army.

The training received by the dragoons was originally focused on foot combat. Liu Wei and Deng Zhan both jumped off their horses, and the officers and soldiers of the Dragoon Guard would not fight on horseback.

All the dragoon guards dismounted, holding a shield in one hand, and slashing their long swords in the other hand and pounced on the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army array on the left flank was suddenly rushed out of a big gap.

"Kill the whole army!" Seeing that the left wing was only killed by Liu Wei and others, it was knocked open the gap, and countless Xiliang troops fell under the swords of Liu Wei and the dragoon guards, Hu Chi'er was worried that Liu Wei would take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, so he hurriedly waved his spear and issued an order for the whole army to rush and kill.
