"We originally moved the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an, and moved the entire political system of the imperial court. It's a pity that Yuan Shao came too quickly and urgently, and we only had time to take the Son of Heaven...... Now that Luoyang has fallen, Yuan Shao must be eager to take over the imperial team, so he has no intention of pursuing us for the time being."

"In other words, Yuan Shao must have relied on the alliance leader's (身shēn) share and sent his allies' troops to pursue us, while he himself preserved his strength and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight...... If I'm not mistaken, this army is either Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu or Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi."

Xiao Qiuyu's troops were subordinate to Yuan Shao, and the word Yuan was naturally written on the banner...... It's just that three of the eighteen princes are surnamed Yuan, so Li Ru will make a mistake in judgment.

"It turned out to be infighting...... Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, his face was full of joy, and he said, "In other words, this army is unwilling to fight with us, so it can't do anything. Although they followed behind us, they did not attack, and their purpose was nothing more than to give Yuan Shao and the other princes an errand."

Li Ru nodded and said, "With the opponent's strength, attacking us is purely an egg hitting a stone, Yuan Shao's move intends to use both this army to consume our strength and the strength of this army...... And the commander of the other party is not stupid, so he is naturally unwilling to compete with our sandpiper and mussels, so that Yuan Shao, a fisherman, can benefit, so he chooses to swim instead of attacking."

The cavalry under Xiao Qiuyu was no more than 10,000 people, while the Xiliang army was enough for 50,000 or 60,000 people...... Although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is very strong, enough to defeat several times the enemy, the Xiliang army also has seven or eight thousand cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang cavalry is much stronger than that of the cavalry in the Central Plains.

Such a force, it is impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo's troops, the absolute strength gap is there, if a war breaks out, maybe Dong Zhuo's army will die 10,000 or 20,000 people, but it can definitely defeat or even completely annihilate this army.

If a full-scale conflict breaks out, the end result will be nothing more than a lose-lose situation.

……

Five days later, Dong Zhuo's army entered a forest in the northwest, and the army was passing through, but saw a sudden killing cry in the woods, and a tide of soldiers swarmed up, and the word "Cao" was written on the banners held high by these troops.

"Damn, it's Cao (fuck cāo)cāo) this bastard again, he broke through the tiger prison last time, and now he's here to block my way!" Dong Zhuo scolded when he saw this.

"Don't worry, father, I'll lead the dragon and iron cavalry to attack." Lu Bu took the initiative to ask.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Okay, go and get the head of the Cao thief for me!"

With Dong Zhuo's approval, Lu Bu quickly summoned the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command and personally led them to rush towards Cao's army.

In the face of the charging Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo) unhurriedly arranged the defensive line to resist the enemy's attack.

Seeing that it was Lu Bu who led the army to kill, Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo) scolded loudly: "Boldly rebel against the thief, kidnap the Son of Heaven, and flow to the people, where will you go?"

Lu Bu didn't answer, he secretly despised in his heart, he led thousands of iron cavalry to charge, and almost all of the Cao army charging in front were infantry......

"It is really an exaggeration to confront the cavalry charge head-on with an infantry group, and the military level of Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo) is no more than that."

Lu Bu was galloping, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch suddenly screamed, and actually fell into a huge pit, and even Lu Bu himself fell off the horse, and fell into the pit, and his head was scattered.

Not only Lu Bu, but a large number of cavalry who charged in the front row fell from their horses and were transferred into the pit.

"It's a trap! Stop the horses!" The cavalrymen in the back row shouted.

"Put!"

Cao ((cāo)cāo) shouted, and countless rockets flew out of the woods, and a rain of arrows came from the sky...... Because the distance was too far, the power of the arrows had been greatly weakened when they flew over, and most of the armor of the Xiliang Iron Rider was bounced off, and it could not penetrate its armor at all.

However, as soon as the flaming arrows hit the ground, a raging fire immediately ignited, and the blazing sea of fire spread like angry waves, instantly covering hundreds of Xiliang Iron Riders.

The flames were actually not high, but they were only a dozen centimeters, and they could not hurt the cavalry on horseback at all...... But the flames were enough to burn the horse's hooves, and the horses of the Xiliang army fell to the ground one by one, throwing the cavalry on their backs off their horses.

The soldiers of the Cao army had already rushed over like a tide, and they used long weapons such as ge, halberds and other long weapons to quickly fight with the Xiliang iron cavalry.

"Haha, lord, Admiral Pan's plan is really powerful, the traps and fire oil we arranged in advance really made the invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry fiercely planted." Xiahou Yuan laughed proudly.

Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of haze: "Some generals are brave enough to crown the three armies, some are good at military strategy, and some are full of tricks...... Although these people are excellent, they are often only good at one thing, or they are brave and unscrupulous, or they are only good at it. Only he, Pan Feng, seems to be proficient in everything, and every ability is outstanding!"

"Such a genius, if he can be used by me, will surely help me to sweep the world and accomplish great things; And if he will not submit to me...... Hmph!"

Cao ((cāo)cāo) shook his head and continued to command the battle in front of him.

In fact, Cao ((cāo)cāo) They also came here from the Tiger Prison Pass, two or three days earlier than Dong Zhuo, so they didn't have much time to dig traps and raise fire oil, and those Xiliang Iron Riders who fell into the trap and buried (body shēn) the sea of fire were actually less than a thousand people, and seven or eight out of ten survivors.

However, after such a sudden crisis, everyone in Xiliang Iron Cavalry was frightened and completely stopped the momentum of the charge...... As has been repeatedly emphasized, the strength of cavalry lies in the high speed of the charge, and once they stop their horses, their combat effectiveness will immediately decrease.

Originally, the nearly 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry rushed over, and they could immediately kill Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo) and return defeated, but unfortunately, when this round of charging stopped, the infantry of the Cao army quickly rushed over, and the two sides carried out a close handover.

After a large number of soldiers poured in, the entire space was extremely congested, and the cavalry's war horses couldn't take a step at all, couldn't raise their speed, and couldn't launch a second round of charge.

Even so, the short run of the horse can still allow the cavalry to run, although the speed is not particularly fast, but it can also have a not weak attack power; The battle loss ratio between Cao Jun and Xiliang Tieqi was at least four to one.

Lu Bu roared and rushed out of the pit, the halberd in his hand thundering, and in an instant, he swept away several soldiers on the side.

"Cao thief is here!" Lu Bu roared, and rushed towards Cao ((cāo)cāo) with Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.

Although the Xiliang army was plotted, they were not completely defeated, Lu Bu naturally knew the truth that the thief captured the king first, as long as he beheaded Cao ((Cao cāo)cāo), then the enemy's morale would not only be greatly hit, but also lose command and make a mess, and the enemy army would collapse without a fight.
