Chapter 205: Riding Captain Hu Zhen

Under the Tiger Prison Pass, just when the princes of all walks of life thought that Dong Zhuo's army would retreat soon, Dong Zhuo's army, whose morale had declined, not only did not flee immediately, but instead sent elite soldiers to attack the princes of the 27th Route at night!

The first to be attacked was the camp of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe!

Zhang Liao personally led his troops to dismount and destroy the antlers, opening the passage for the Xiliang cavalry, and the Xiliang general Li Dao led the Flying Bear Army to drive straight in!

Jiao He was one of the weakest princes, and thousands of Qingzhou soldiers were quickly destroyed in the face of the Flying Bear Army's assault!

At the same time, there were several princes who were attacked, and generals such as Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Li Hu, and Meng Tian came out together, broke through the camp of the princes, and shouted that the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth!

The fierce general Wang Tielance led a group of infantry into the camp of Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, and a gun was used as a heavy weapon, and even the heavy infantry was stoned to death in front of him.

"Don't panic the whole army!"

Zhou Yafu controlled the situation in the camp, because Zhou Yafu had a special characteristics of managing the army, and the 20,000 people in Langya State did not have chaos because of the night attack.

Chu Tian came out of the camp tent and brought a Tang knife to protect himself, he now has a little bit of force.

There were shouts of killing all around, and the princes fought their own battles, and beacons broke out everywhere.

Chutian's insistence on his own camp is his contribution to the Kwantung Coalition Army.

Xue Rengui appeared beside Chu Tian to protect him from being killed after the camp was breached. An important part of his duty was to protect Chu Tian's safety.

Zhao Yun also appeared quickly, although Zhao Yun had not yet officially allegiated to Chu Tian, but his way of behaving had been assimilated by Xue Rengui.

Even if Cao Cao has Dian Wei and Xu Chu, there are Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun who can compete here.

"Is the lord okay?"

Hua Mulan led a team of light cavalry to take the lead in ensuring Chutian's safety, and there was no coldness before.

"You put the light cavalry in order, and prepare to meet the enemy or pursue it." Chu Tian saw Fang Xuanling who came out, "What the military advisor said is very true, the Xiliang army really attacked at night, what should we do next?" ”

Fang Xuanling replied: "You can send a small team of cavalry out to investigate and wait and see what happens." ”

The cavalry of the Xiliang Army also hit the camp where Chutian was located, but it was discovered by Zhou Yafu, who was patrolling, and after the shooting battalion shot more than 100 horsemen, he did not dare to continue to attack the camp of the Langya National Army.

"You two, who is going to investigate the neighborhood?"

Chu Tian gave priority to using Xue Rengui or Zhao Yun. As for Li Guang, who was easy to get lost, Chu Tian didn't dare to use it in the night battle, otherwise Li Guang would be uncomfortable if he ran into the heavy encirclement of the Xiliang cavalry.

Zhao Yun volunteered: "Zilong has received the kindness of General Fubo, and now that Dong Zhuo's thieves are attacking our camp, how can he sit idly by?" ”

"Okay, you lead fifty cavalry archers to investigate."

It was rare for Chu Tian to see Zhao Yun take the initiative to ask for his life, so he asked him to temporarily leave the camp with some soldiers and horses to explore the surrounding situation.

To the left of the camp of Langya Kingdom is the camp of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun. The Dongjun Army, with Cao Cao as the commander, was as stable as Mount Tai and did not suffer many losses in the night attack of the Western Liang army.

Cao Cao personally observed the movements in all directions, Chen Liutai's camp on the left was guarded by Zhang Miao, and the camp of Chutian on the right was as motionless as a mountain: "Which is stronger and which is weak, you can know just by listening to the voice." ”

"Lord, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao was attacked by the Xiliang cavalry, and it was difficult to support it alone, so he asked us for reinforcements!"

"Zixiao, you stay in the camp, and I will personally lead the cavalry to support."

Cao Cao left Cao Ren, who was good at holding on, to guard the house. Cao Ren is similar to Zhou Yafu, he is good at defense, and if he is handed over to defend the city, Cao Cao can go to fight with confidence.

A group of strangers who took refuge in Cao Cao had already moved their minds at this time, and discussed privately: "This is an opportunity to secretly kill Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao." Zhang Miao usually has Dian Wei as a guard, and it is difficult for us to assassinate him. But I have an assassin-type special talent here, as long as I take advantage of the chaos to get close to Zhang Miao, I can kill him, and then annex his people and subdue Dian Wei. ”

"Cao Cao's camp is not moving, he can't be attacked so easily."

Chu Tian waited patiently for Zhao Yun to come back and report back.

After a while, Zhao Yun came back, with a smear of blood on his face, and captured a Xiliang cavalry alive.

"This person is the cavalry under Hu Zhen, the commander of the cavalry, and his main force is attacking the camp, and there are only about 3,000 Xiliang cavalry around him."

Zhao Yun reported an extremely important news to Chu Tian.

Hu Zhen, one of the cavalry generals of the Xiliang Army, was reused by Dong Zhuo like Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.

The common Xiliang cavalry is the light cavalry of the third order, which is better than the light cavalry in the same pass. However, if Hu Zhen only had 3,000 Xiliang cavalry, he might not pose a threat.

"Attack Hu Zhen!"

Chu Tian was worried that there was no place to obtain military merits, and at this time he found that the Xiliang general Hu Zhen and three thousand Xiliang cavalry were nearby, so he thought about it.

"Zhou Yafu is holding the camp, and the cavalry is going to attack Hu Zhen, either to capture Hu Zhen, or I want to see his head. Li Guang, you follow Mulan to fight. ”

Chu Tian took into account that Mulan's luck has always been very good, so he gave Li Guang a little help.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were also sent out.

This time it was a decapitation operation against the Xiliang general Hu Zhen, and all the cavalry generals were sent out to fight. If you can catch Hu Zhen alive, it is naturally the best. But in the midst of the chaotic army, especially under the premise that there were 3,000 fierce Xiliang cavalry around Hu Zhen, Chu Tian did not dare to let his generals risk their lives to capture Hu Zhen alive. In order to capture Hu Zhen alive and die in battle, any of the current cavalry generals, Chu Tian felt that he had suffered a loss.

Out of consideration for not adding unnecessary trouble to his subordinates, Chu Tian, Zhou Yafu, and Fang Xuanling stayed in the camp.

The Tang Dynasty archers, Western Han archers, and light cavalry in the Langya State camp poured out, and only the heavy cavalry remained in the camp. At night, when the field of view was insufficient, the heavy cavalry had difficulty determining the direction of the charge.

The direction of Hu Zhen's attack was originally the camp of Langya State, but after being shot back by the Shooting Battalion, he was unable to clear the horse rejection and trenches near the camp of Langya State, so he turned to attack the camp of Xiangkongrong in Beihai.

Kong Rong, the minister of the North Sea, did not have the talent to command the soldiers and horses, and the Qingzhou soldiers soon collapsed, and the military general Wu Anguo held a meteor hammer to kill the Xiliang cavalry close to Kong Rong and protect Kong Rong to retreat to the rear.

If Wu Anguo hadn't faced Lu Bu, he would still be a relatively fierce general, and it would be more than enough to protect Kong Rong.

Hu Zhen saw the camp of the coalition of princes in flames: "The military advisor is really a god, what about the decline in morale, with the Xiliang cavalry, you can still defeat this rabble." ”

"General, there is a cavalry coming from the south, good at riding and shooting, unstoppable!"

Hu Zhen was commanding the Xiliang cavalry to capture Kong Rong's camp, and the two generals Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the Tang archers to kill, followed by a group of low-level light cavalry!

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun went hand in hand, plus Li Guang followed Mulan to be active on the battlefield, the fetters of the "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" took effect, and the morale of Hu Zhen's army all declined!

Taking advantage of the decline in the morale of Hu Zhen's cavalry, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had already entered the Xiliang cavalry, and took the Tang Dynasty archers to close combat, invincible!

Although the Tang Archer Cavalry is better at riding and archery, because it is a sixth-order cavalry, even if it uses the Tang Sword in close combat, it can still defeat the ordinary third-order Liangzhou cavalry!

Li Guang's arrows were not missing, and he specially shot Hu Zhen's generals and some military commanders and tun commanders who commanded the cavalry. Once the opponent's generals or middle- and low-ranking officers were shot, it would have a huge impact on the morale of Hu Zhen's army.

The morale of the Hu Zhen army, which had already been affected by the failure of the single-handedness under the Tiger Prison Pass, had its morale decline even faster.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun used the light of the torches to advance all the way, and the cavalry behind them followed.

Hu Zhen vaguely saw two silver-armored and white-robed young generals approaching, and recognized that this was the second of the three generals in the Megatron Tiger Prison!

"It's really unfortunate, this neighborhood is actually the camp of Langya Xiang Chu Zimou!"

Hu Zhen complained bitterly.

The Xiliang Legion poured out of the nest and attacked at night, divided into several directions, and as a result, he hit the hard stubble of the Kwantung coalition army.

Now as long as the Xiliang Legion sees the generals in silver armor and white robes, they are all soldiers, and they dare not face the battle.

"Retreat!"

Hu Zhen knew that Lu Bu was killed by the other party, and he was not an opponent, so he commanded the Xiliang cavalry to retreat backwards with great interest.

Hu Zhen's order to retreat spread, and the morale of the Xiliang cavalry was lower, and it was already on the verge of collapse at this time.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun broke the morale of the other party, covering up all the way, and the three hundred Tang archers were like entering a no-man's land, chasing and killing the three thousand Xiliang cavalry!

Hu Zhen fled in a hurry, and a fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of him, or a team of cavalry. Hu Zhen was overjoyed, thinking that it was his own reinforcements.

However, there was a rain of arrows from the opposite side, and dozens of Xiliang cavalry were shot!

Mulan's Iron Eagle Scout forcibly marched faster than ordinary light cavalry, and at this time he had already circled behind Hu Zhen's army, blocked Hu Zhen's retreat, and attacked Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun on it, breaking Hu Zhen and beheading hundreds!

"Surrender or kill!"

Hua Mulan knew that the lord lacked cavalry, and if he captured a group of Xiliang cavalry that were better than the light cavalry of Xuzhou and Qingzhou, then the lord's power would be even stronger.

Many Xiliang cavalry had fallen to the bottom in morale and were no longer able to fight, so they became prisoners.

Hu Zhen was quite used under Dong Zhuo, and he was unwilling to surrender, so he wanted to break out with hundreds of personal soldiers.

"Where will the enemy go!"

Li Guangda shouted, the longbow in his hand tightened, and shot an arrow!

Hu Zhen was hit by an arrow in his back and fell from his war horse.

"Weak can't help the wind."

Li Guangzong rode over, made up another knife, beheaded Hu Zhen, and planned to take him back to ask Fang Xuanling for credit.

If Fang Xuanling knew that Li Guang was carrying a head to see him again, I don't know how he would feel......

A cavalry lieutenant sent out by Dong Zhuo died under Li Guang's arrows.

Compared with the flying general Li Guang, Hu Zhen has almost no record of success, and the difference is very far.

Some of the Xiliang cavalry escaped with their excellent Xiliang war horses and superb riding skills, and about more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry became prisoners of the Langya cavalry.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao's camp, and Dian Wei, whose body was like an iron tower, held an iron halberd, and killed dozens of Xiliang light cavalry on foot, like a reef in the stormy waves, standing still!

Cao Cao personally led the light cavalry and brought Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan to support Zhang Miao, and fought with Xu Rong's cavalry who attacked Zhang Miao's camp.

Xu Rong was a rare commander under Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao had some difficulty trying to defeat this old enemy.

However, the current Cao Cao is no longer Cao Cao who has only a few thousand recruits in history, he has experienced the battle to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the soldiers and horses of Dongjun have formed combat effectiveness!

With Cao Cao's bonus, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan bravely assaulted and repelled the Xiliang cavalry!

"Lord, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao was killed in the chaos!"

"At this time, the lord should replace Zhang Miao and take charge of the soldiers and horses of Chenliu County!"

The stranger who supported Cao Cao informed Cao Cao of this important news.

Cao Cao heard that Chen Liutaishou was killed by the rebel army, and fell silent, he seemed to sense something, but the wood was already in the boat, and he could only take over Chen Liujun's soldiers and horses.

Chen Liujun also has a military general he wants to get - Dian Wei at the level of five tiger generals.

As for whether Chen Liutaishou really died from the soldiers and horses of Xiliang, it is no longer important.

Cao Cao gathered Chenliujun's soldiers and horses, recruited Dian Wei, and at the same time ordered Xiahou Yuan to guard Chenliujun's camp to prevent the Xiliang army from raiding again.

The night battle between Dong Zhuo's army and the Kwantung coalition army continued until the sky turned white, and then gradually withdrew to the Tiger Prison Pass.

The princes of the 27th Route suffered heavy losses under the planning of Dong Zhuo's military advisor Jia Xu, and many camps were reduced to ruins.

Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao was killed in the chaos, and Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao was killed by Wang Tielan, a fierce general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Wang Tielan's prestige was far and wide, which made the princes of all walks of life panic!

Of the twenty-seven princes, there are now only twenty-five left.

There are also weak princes such as Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, and Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, who suffered heavy losses and basically lost their combat effectiveness.

In fact, there may only be a dozen or so princes left who are really capable of fighting power.

The only thing that exhilarated the princes was that Hu Zhen, a cavalry lieutenant under Dong Zhuo, was shot and killed by Langya Xiang and Fubo's general Chu Tian's generals, and more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry were captured.

Chu Tian's prestige once again spread to the Tiger Prison.

"Cao Cao actually annexed Zhang Miao's subordinates, and Dian Wei was subdued by him, which is really unwilling......"

Chu Tian snatched Liu Bei's Zhao Yun, still a little dissatisfied.

He also knew that Dian Wei was still under Zhang Miao's subordinates, and he might have a chance to snatch it from Cao Cao, but after all, it was Cao Cao who took the lead.

Even if he didn't have a chance to subdue Dian Wei, Chu Tian had a great gain.

Fang Xuanling counted the Xiliang cavalry captured last night: "A total of 1,534 Xiliang cavalry and 1,917 war horses were captured. ”

When Chu Tian heard about the number of captured horses, he became even more greedy for the horses produced in Liangzhou.

More than 1,000 war horses are a lot for Langya Kingdom, but more than 1,000 war horses are nothing to the Xiliang Legion.

Hu Zhen is only one of Dong Zhuo's generals, his main force is attacking the camp, and he can have 3,000 cavalry around him, in fact, the cavalry commanded by Hu Zhen may be tens of thousands, and Chutian captured only a small part.

"There are also three Liangzhou horses."

In addition to the high-grade Turkic war horses, Chutian also obtained three excellent war horses, which were produced in Liangzhou. In contrast to the superior Turkic horses, which were suitable for equipping light cavalry, the Liangzhou horses were suitable for equipping heavy cavalry. A heavy cavalry equipped with Liangzhou horses will have a terrifying impact.

Chutian also won military merits, including killing the cavalry captain Hu Zhen, obtaining 5,000 points of military merit, and capturing thousands of Xiliang cavalry, beheading hundreds, and obtaining tens of thousands of military merits.
