Chapter 680: Confusion
There are armies going north, and there are armies going south, and they are already the fastest people who rushed to Luoyang City. The cavalry has a very obvious advantage on the road, and there is no way to compare horsepower and manpower.
While both cavalry armies were still halfway there, the other cavalry was already approaching Luoyang City. The leader was the Zhan Feng who drove down from Jizhou, and the cavalry under his command who belonged to him completely and followed him in the southern and northern battles.
Every cavalryman is completely loyal to Zhanfeng, although he is in the soldier establishment under Lu Zhi, but these cavalry are all private troops belonging to Zhanfeng. Every cavalry is a player, and they are all Inhumans.
Since then, even if he dies in battle, the number of soldiers has not decreased, and after a period of training, he is a qualified soldier after his strength has recovered. In the eyes of every player's cavalry, it doesn't matter if they die, it's the big deal when the horse dies.
Therefore, on the question of whether to protect people or horses, there is almost no need to think about it, it is all about protecting horses. If a person dies and can be resurrected, if a horse dies and is seriously injured, it may not be possible to catch a suitable war horse.
The cavalry moved forward, and the most conspicuous thing in the entire cavalry army was nothing more than the leading warrior in iron armor, as well as the trickster. In addition to these horses at the beginning, the three people who joined later, and the soldiers and horses they brought, undoubtedly greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of this army.
They are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Hurried all the way, and finally caught up with Zhan Feng, and gave Zhan Feng what Lu Zhi commanded, so that he integrated into this army.
But until this time, they were still a little out of place. If you want to hone the tacit understanding between the army and the army, it is not something that can be done in a short time, and you need to support each other in one bloody battle after another before you can trust each other.
For Liu Bei and them, as well as the soldiers and horses they brought, they belong to outsiders. For the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhan Feng, there is already a tacit understanding that they can rely on each other in battle, including when charging, and will maintain the tightness of the formation.
Suddenly there are some outsiders, of course, we have to locate them and make room for them. But if it can't be done, of course, the battle front is not rare, the more soldiers and horses, the better, if it is just by numbers, the Yellow Turban Army will not be defeated so badly.
The soldiers are fine, not many.
There was nothing to say all the way, Liu Bei only communicated with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu when necessary, and then turned his attention to the army. He was stealing from a teacher to learn art, and Liu Bei was completely unclear about how to lead the cavalry, as well as the formation and attack mode of the cavalry.
The townsmen he led before, but there was no half a war horse in them, and they couldn't even get together the armor, where were the war horses? The war horses of him and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all horse merchants passing by Seeing the chaos of the soldiers, they escorted them for a distance as a reward for rewarding them. Otherwise, the three of them will be like those village warriors, relying only on two legs, rushing to kill on the battlefield.
Now this is undoubtedly a very good learning opportunity, Liu Bei is reluctant to let go, he has been observing the entire cavalry, observing the battle of the leader, and the trickster who was adjusting the cavalry formation from time to time. If you can learn more, you can learn more, although Liu Bei doesn't feel that he has any chance to lead the cavalry in the near future. But a man has to have a dream, what if one day he really has a cavalry army?
"Hehe, this Liu Bei..."The trickster shook his head and smiled.
Zhan Feng turned his head and asked, "What?" ”
"It can only be said that it is worthy of Liu Bei, if it were someone else, it is estimated that he would not want to learn something like him." The trickster continued.
"After all, it's Liu Bei." With indifferent eyes, Zhan Feng didn't have any special perception of Liu Bei, just a very ordinary admiration.
Liu Bei's small movements along the way did not escape the eyes of Zhan Feng and the trickster, and all fell into their eyes. If it weren't for the acquiescence, Liu Bei wouldn't have been able to learn anything, at least the trickster didn't shy away from Liu Bei when he was arranging the troops.
He wants to learn as he wants, which also takes time to accumulate, and it is not easy for anyone to learn to command the cavalry. They are also not optimistic about Liu Bei, Liu Bei has been displaced for half his life, he is weak and poor, where can he get a cavalry army?
Until he occupied Shuzhong, he couldn't muster a cavalry army, only Bai Yu's elite soldiers. However, the elite soldiers of Bai Yu are just guards, they can defend the city and protect Liu Bei, and they cannot replace the role of cavalry on the battlefield. Not to mention the five tiger generals, everyone is a cavalry general, and they all have the ability to lead a cavalry army, but who commands a cavalry army?
Poor, plus the northern horse-producing land is in Cao Cao's hands, how could Liu Bei make up a cavalry army? It is impossible to be like Cao Cao, who formed a tiger and leopard cavalry, a tiger cavalry heavy cavalry, a leopard cavalry light cavalry, and two cavalry teams.
Cavalry is really not something that the poor can afford. It is not enough to have a war horse, you also need to equip all kinds of equipment, and add the daily consumption of war horses, it can be said that the money spent on one cavalry is enough for eight or nine infantry to be fully armed.
Zhan Feng heard the sound of the pigeon's wings, and he looked up and saw the pigeon getting closer and closer in the distance. Slowing down the horse, as the pigeon approached him, the warman grabbed the pigeon and untied the letter from its feet.
Let go of the carrier pigeon, and the war striker clings to the horse's back with his legs, so that he will not be in danger of falling off the war horse. Then he opened the letterbox, took out the letter paper from it, unfolded it, and he had carefully scanned it.
For just a moment, Zhan Feng's brow was already furrowed.
When the trickster next to him saw that he had followed and rode forward with Zhanfeng, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Taking the letterhead, the trickster grabbed the letter with one hand and began to browse it.
"Blocking Dong Zhuo?"
"Dong Zhuo doesn't know life and death?" He was a little stunned, and when he saw the payment behind the letter, he was a little surprised.
"Really?" He couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"I guess it's true. But is Dong Zhuo really so easy to die? If it was really that easy to die, the next thing would be much easier, at least not so tricky. Zhan Feng's eyes were cold, and there was no lightness at all.
I don't know whether I live or die, I don't know, whether Dong Zhuo is dead or not is still unknown. It would be ridiculous to be happy before the final result is out.
Zhan Feng only believed what he saw and heard with his own eyes, even if he saw and heard with his own eyes, sometimes it would be fake. Then you might as well guess Dong Zhuo as if there was nothing to do, and the only thing to do now is to rush over immediately.
"The whole army obeys the order, speed up, and follow me." Zhan Feng shouted loudly.
He didn't plan to enter Luoyang City, so he rushed to the location of the war madman first. He wouldn't think that Dong Zhuo really only led a cavalry army to Luoyang City, and there must be an army to follow him in the future, otherwise how could he get the most right to speak?
The speed of the entire cavalry army was raised, and they galloped along the official road with the battle front.
Liu Bei and the three of them did not speak, and immediately sped up their horses to follow, without raising objections or asking more. They temporarily belong to the command of Zhanfeng, Zhanfeng is the boss, how can there be a reason for subordinates to ask the coach?
Liu Bei put his posture very low, not only because his official position was lower than Zhan Feng, but also because of his ability to Zhan Feng. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have no objections to this, otherwise they will not be convinced by a mediocre coach.
On the other side, an army of cavalry and infantry had just passed Luoyang City. The leader was a middle-aged general, and the armor worn by the soldiers under his command was not much different from the armor of the cavalry under Dong Zhuo's, at least the color and style were the same.
The banner of Xu Zi fluttered in the army, proving the identity of the commander.
Xu Rong, as one of the generals under Dong Zhuo, is leading the army in accordance with Dong Zhuo's military orders. Due to the existence of infantry in the army, the speed of the army's advance was always not fast, and it was far behind Dong Zhuo.
Xu Rong was not in a hurry, the army marched moderately, the cavalry was free on the periphery, and the infantry maintained a neat marching state. The two belong to different classes, but in the fusion of formations, there is no sense of resistance at all.
Even in the face of any sudden situation, the army will react immediately and launch a counterattack. Xu Rong has a firm grasp of controlling this army, making it move with its heart, pointing where it can fight, and it is at ease.
Therefore, Dong Zhuocai ordered him to lead an army alone, which is a treatment that even Huaxiong does not have, and the trust in this is completely derived from his trust in Xu Rong.
In the entire Liangzhou Army, there are only two people who now have the right to lead the army alone. One is Xu Rong, the other is Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law Niu Fu, as for Hua Xiong, sometimes he can lead the army to fight, but the number of people he can lead is far less than the first two.
Riding on the war horse, Xu Rong keenly noticed a commotion in the distance, and when he was about to send someone to ask, he saw a cavalryman under his command, leading another cavalry to gallop towards him.
"General!" In the distance, the two arriving cavalrymen were stopped by the soldiers on guard in the Chinese army.
Xu Rong waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to let them in.
When he first came to the front of Xu Rong, the cavalryman who was brought over immediately jumped off the back of the war horse and immediately knelt down when he landed.
"General Xu, the military advisor ordered me to come and ask for help, and ordered the general to rush as soon as possible." As he spoke, the cavalryman gasped for breath.
After listening to the words of the cavalry, Xu Rong's expression changed, and his caution as a commander made him not easily trust anyone. Especially when the army is marching, any credulity may bring serious consequences, which he cannot gamble.
Towards the subordinate cavalry who came with the cavalry, he cast an inquiring gaze, and only after the cavalry nodded affirmatively, Xu Rong relaxed slightly. This cavalryman must have confirmed his identity, and there were people in the army who knew him before he could come to him.
However, Xu Rong still couldn't completely put his mind at ease. It was only the first step to prove that he was a soldier in the Liangzhou army, and it was impossible to rely on this alone to make Xu Rong completely believe in this cavalry. You know, being bought, coerced, and so on is possible.
Believing a soldier's words? That is not the work of a wise man.
"Do you have credentials?" Xu Rong then asked, staring into the eyes of the messenger cavalry.
As long as he hesitates and fears a little, then Xu Rong will no longer trust him. Xu Rong didn't see any unusual expression on the latter's face, nor did he hesitate, fear leaked from his eyes.
The cavalryman quickly took a token from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
The pro-soldier next to him took the token and brought it to Xu Rong, and when he saw the token, he completely believed the cavalry's request for help.
"Pass the order, the whole army march quickly!" Without hesitation, Xu Rong immediately ordered.
He didn't know what the situation was with Dong Zhuo at the moment, but it was definitely a bad situation, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to ask for help, you know, he led the army behind, and he could be killed as a surprise soldier at any time when there was an accident.
Now let him go out, it is still Li Ru's order, which makes Xu Rong dare not slack off. If he could, he even wanted to fly over directly, but it was impossible, and he had to rush over as quickly as possible by a rapid march.
On the official road where Dong Zhuo was fighting, the corpses of the players were still stacked there, and no one was going to clean them up. As for Yun Ting, Sun Jian and the others, they did not leave, and stayed on both sides of the official road.
In the distance of the official road, because the blockade has been lifted, caravans have also come over one after another. But when they saw the corpses all over the ground, these caravans left in a hurry, not daring to take a step closer, so they resolutely stayed away from here and changed to another road to Luoyang City.
Is Dong Zhuo dead?
This is everyone's problem, including Yun Ting, who saw the blood that rushed out of Dong Zhuo's body at that time, but they couldn't confirm it at all. Because after Tai Shici's arrow was shot, Dong Zhuo's side was firmly surrounded by a large number of cavalry, and he couldn't see the situation inside, let alone determine whether Dong Zhuo was alive or dead.
Yun Ting asked Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci was sure that the arrow he shot hit Dong Zhuo, but he couldn't be sure whether he shot Dong Zhuo or not. This is the most tangled, I don't know if it's good or bad, it's all based on the guess in my heart.
After that, the Liangzhou cavalry left, slowly retreating, and did not reveal anything superfluous. Let Yun Ting and they dare not pursue, who knows if this is a trick to lure the enemy, and these soldiers in their hands are completely not enough to consume. I could only watch the Liangzhou cavalry retreat, and they continued to wait here, waiting for news.
The toad who ate the phoenix took the lead, and together with the Oneiroi machine, he undertook to reconnoiter any of the Liangzhou cavalry. Just wait for them to find out the true state of the Liangzhou cavalry, catch the clues of Dong Zhuo's situation, and then come back, Yun Ting can also make targeted arrangements.
