Two days later, Yuan Shu led the Chinese army to fight against Zhang Lang's soldiers and horses outside Xuyi City.

Yuan Shugang set up a land 50 miles outside Xuyi City, and when there was no fire to make food, and the army was in a state of rest, Zhang Lang suddenly sent two teams of light horsemen, led by Zangba and Lian Rong, each with three thousand, and the two wings rushed to kill.

This battle is not really a battle, but a disturbance from the left and right, and frustrates the spirit of Yuan Shu's army. Yuan Shu's troops went out, and the cavalry retreated to Xuyi.

Yuan Shubing returned, and Zhang Lang sent two teams of light cavalry, coming and going for a total of three trips. Yuan Shubing will not be annoyed.

The next day, Yuan Shu led the Chinese army into battle. Seeing that although he has a jade belt around his waist and a brocade robe, his face is pale for a while, he knows that he must not have slept well last night, and now he eats, drinks and has fun every day, and he has no heroic style at all. The body is very bloated, the falling flesh on the face is loose, and the carriage shakes up and down as soon as it opens, typical of eating and drinking and getting rich.

The hundreds of guards around him are also gorgeously dressed and armored, all of them have oily hair and powder, and it seems that they have been very moisturized over the years.

Ji Ling rode a horse beside him to guard.

Ji Ling is a native of Shandong, with a burly and strong figure that ordinary people do not have, and he exudes a threatening momentum. He was carrying the same three-pointed and two-edged knife as Yan Ming, but his appearance was heavier and heavier, about fifty catties.

Under the city of Xuyi, the city gate was wide open and the drawbridge was lowered.

Zhang Lang was wearing golden armor, a red tassel on his head, a green lotus waving the wind, holding a ring iron handle broadsword, and the black-maned horse roared away under the seat. Coupled with his angular face and closed lips, there is an amazing domineering aura looming on his face, majestic and majestic, like a golden-armored god of war, which makes people admire it after watching it.

followed by Yang Rong and Zhao Yu's proud daughters. Both wore the same silver-white chain mail and beige cloaks. Zhao Yuxian held the plum blossom in his hand, and Yang Rong stuck the willow leaf on her back. The faces of the two women were as heavy as ice and snow, and they had long since lost the excitement and uneasiness of the first time they went to the battlefield, which made people feel feminine.

The generals also followed, all full of energy and extraordinary momentum.

3,000 light cavalry on the wing, 10,000 infantry as the mainstay. The heavy helmet chain horses slowly and neatly ascended after the two teams set off. The sound was like thunder, and it was extremely dull.

Walking to an open plain area, the generals lined up, stabilized the formation, and saw the smoke and dust rolling in front of them from a distance, the soldiers and horses were like a tide, and the flags were raised.

Yuan Shu sat on the chariot, four flags, and all the generals surrounded him, only to see the Xuzhou army in front of the preparation, and then stopped not far away.

Yuan Shu had a gloomy face, although he hated Zhang Lang like bones, but seeing that his subordinate troops were well-armored, neat and well-organized, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart, and looked back on Ji Ling and said enviously: "Look at the bottom and know the top, and see that Zhang Lang's soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are neat, and you know that he must be a general." ”

Ji Ling was rough and fierce, his eyes were bright, and the situation of Xuzhou was clear, although he knew that the quality of the other party's army was extremely high, but he didn't want to weaken the morale of the other party, and said respectfully: "My lord, my Huainan soldiers will not lose to Xuzhou." ”

Yuan Shu was comfortable listening to it in his heart, his face was happy, and his fleshy face moved and he said arrogantly: "You go and call Zhang Lang out, I want to talk." ”

Ji Ling's movements were quite concise, and he went out with the prancing horse, and shouted from afar: "Xuzhou Zhang Lang, my lord ordered you to go out to talk." ”

After Zhang Lang heard this, he looked back and said with a relaxed face: "Yuan Shu is asking for hardship, if he wants to fight, he will beat him and say anything, see how I play him." ”

The crowd chuckled.

Zhang Lang also slapped his horse out of the battle, pointed at Ji Ling with a big knife, and shouted arrogantly: "Tell Yuan Shu to fart quickly." ”

Yuan Shu's army, whether soldiers or soldiers, was all furious when they heard Zhang Lang's words. On the contrary, Xu Xubing chuckled, and his nervousness was relaxed.

Ji Ling's face is also pale, he is loyal to Yuan Shu, he is desperate, and he has fought for him for many years, whether it is in peace or in the most dangerous time, Ji Ling will always be the number one person under Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is good and bad at times, but he is the first confidant to Ji Ling. He felt Yuan Shu's great grace, how could he bear Zhang Lang insulting his lord so much, his rough face was even more compelling, and he said angrily: "You are Zhang Lang, you speak nicely, my lord asked you to come out to talk to him, my lord looks up to you." ”

Zhang Langpi didn't smile, and said coldly: "Lord Xie Yuanshu can look down on him, but I look down on Yuan Shu." ”

Because Zhang Lang was holding his breath and saying this, his voice spread far away.

In fact, if it looks like a scoundrel, it has a great impact on the morale of both parties, and Xuzhou Bing admires Zhang Lang's unstoppable approach of treating Yuan Shu as nothing, because of the victory in front, everyone feels that it is not a wild speech. And Yuan Shu's army was a little upset.

Sure enough, Yuan Shu couldn't help Zhang Lang so contemptuous, he was furious, his fat face changed color, and he glared at the left and right and said: "I can't imagine that Zhang Lang is so arrogant, I have hundreds of battles, and I don't dare to despise all the heroes, the future life is so hateful, who will take his dog head for me." ”

Zhang Xun was moved when he heard this, he thought that his attainments were still inferior to Ji Ling in Shouchun, and he was dissatisfied with being demoted, so he asked for an order: "My lord, I am willing to take the crime and make meritorious service, and go to get Zhang Lang's dog head." ”

Yuan Shu stared at Zhang Xun for a while, his two small eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, and he said coldly: "My Shouchun general is like a cloud, how dare you speak out against you with a guilty body." ”

Zhang Xun's face showed shame and retreated.

Just as Ji Ling glanced back in front of the array, Yuan Shu nodded, and the latter knew it, picked up the three-pointed knife, pulled out the horse, and led the soldiers and horses to rush to kill.

Zhang Lang looked at Yuan Shu's army with disdain, and looked back at Zhao Yundao, who was eager to try: "Zilong, it's up to you." ”

Usually Zhao Yungujing's face, there were bursts of joy at this time, and he first said to Zhang Lang forcefully: "Yes." Then the rotten silver spear waved and shouted: "The chain of horses is attacking." ”

Ten thousand infantry, neatly separated, three thousand well-trained ironclad chain horses neatly out. Ten horses in a team, ten teams in a row, a total of thirty rows.

The heads of the horses were chained with iron hooks and iron rings, and the horses were all wrapped in refined steel armor, and the soldiers' faces were also covered with armor, revealing only two eyes. Three rows of bows and crossbows, three rows of spears, ten rows of halberds, and their broadswords at the head of the ring.

In the soft sunlight, the three thousand heavily armored cavalry, shining with dazzling light, was very dazzling. It adds a strong murderous aura.

The steel armor used by soldiers and horses is several times stronger than the general armor protection ability, in order to prevent things like Yue Feixue Xu Ning from passing down the 'hook gun' to break the golden soldier abduction Ma Lei and the same thing, the horses are equipped with live pivots on their heads, and when one horse falls, it can be immediately unchained, although the phalanx is scattered, it is better than ten horses losing their ability to charge together. The 3,000 soldiers on the horse were also stronger than the average soldiers, in short, elite.

This is made by Zhang Langfa with a lot of blood.

Tibetan Ba and Lian Rong led the two wings of light horses, ready to be equipped and protected.

When Ji Ling led the army to rush halfway, he suddenly saw the Xuzhou soldiers dispatching the heavy cavalry team that had never been done before, and they were all stunned.

Zhang Langzhong laughed loudly and shouted with all his strength: "Yuan Shuxiaoer, you have the ability to break my chain of horse formations." ”

Ji Ling secretly thought in his heart that this chain of horses had heard of the last thing he had heard, and saw that its momentum was like a rainbow, and it was neatly ascending. Not to mention that his charging speed is not fast and his agility is not good, but he can faintly feel the powerful destructive ability and impact ability in it. If he can retreat at the end of the battle, not to mention the weakness of the army, he will also make Xuzhou laugh at Shouchun's incompetence, and he can't afford it.

In the middle of his thoughts, he heard Zhang Lang's provocation, and he couldn't help but start his surname, snorted coldly, aroused his surname that did not admit defeat, and then waved his hand and shouted: "The queen of the soldiers and I rushed to kill." ”

Under the leadership of Ji Ling, Yuan Shujun shook the sky with the sound of drums, and the sound of killing continued, rushing to kill the chain of horses commanded by Zhao Yun.

And Zhao Yun commanded the chain of horses to rush over in a reasonable and orderly manner, neat and good-looking, with a strong murderous aura. The man added the weight of the horse, and deep hoof prints were sunk on the ground. There is a Ying River flowing through the Huai River all year round on the Huai Mountain, so the soil is soft, which limits the play of the heavy cavalry to a certain extent, but fortunately, the place chosen is higher and flat, so there is no accident.

Although the general soldier has some strength, how can he form a threat to the heavy helmet, even if the gun stabs the soldier, it is also because of the lack of strength, can not penetrate the armor, can only make the cavalry pause slightly, and then rushed up steadily, although the charge speed slowed down a lot, but like a bulldozer, unstoppable.

The three thousand heavy armored cavalry, after Zhao Yun's arduous training, finally raised their eyebrows today.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Ling hurriedly ordered the large army to disperse and besiege the cavalry from the flank.

Huainan has a lot of soldiers, layer by layer constantly surrounding the chain of horses, although rushing into the formation from both sides, but can not disrupt the formation, and rushing into the formation of soldiers and horses, only feel that there are cavalry on all sides, as if trapped in a heavy encirclement, all of them are frightened, the combat power is greatly reduced, so that the cavalry is like chopping vegetables. And those who could not rush in to support could only engage with the cavalry on the outside. The bows and arrows in the chain horse were shot from time to time, and the cavalry outside took advantage of the heavy armor, as long as it was not the opponent's close and full force to chop, it would not cause much damage to the soldiers on the horse, and they killed Yuan Shubing again and again, screaming for a while.

Ji Lingli is greater, seeing that his nearly 10,000 soldiers have no countermeasures against the three thousand iron-armored chain horses, and frequently lose, he can't help but be angry, shouting and slashing the three-pointed knife, because of the force through the blade, the three-pointed knife brings up amazing energy, and then breaks the armor into it, the soldier snorted miserably, fell off the horse, and the blood was like an injection, if it were not for the strong protection ability of the iron armor, it would have been broken into two sections. However, the team of serial horses still rushed neatly and killed countless enemies.

The sharp-eyed Zhao Yun found that the enemy's general was extremely powerful, fought bravely, and cut down the soldiers on the horse again and again, and was shocked, how could he let him mess up the chain of arrays, rush over, and defeat Ji Ling.

The three thousand chain iron horses ravaged Yuan Shu's army without any worries.

Ji Ling's face swelled, and the three-pointed two-edged knife slashed sideways with a strong knife aura. How could Zhao Yun take it to heart, standing with both hands, the rotten silver spear immediately blocked Ji Ling's full force, only to shake his arm numb. At the same time, I was shocked in my heart, I couldn't imagine that a white-robed Confucian general in front of me had such amazing arm strength. Zhao Yun didn't wait for Ji Ling to make another move, the gun was like drilling a well to extract oil, dancing lotus flowers, and like a snake out of a hole, lightning attacked. Ji Ling, who fights, only has the power to parry, not the ability to backhand.

Ji Ling fought hard with Zhao Yun for thirty rounds, and finally felt that the opponent's marksmanship was like a god, as if he had a spiritual surname, and every time he assassinated his most difficult place to defend from an unexpected angle, he was afraid, and he returned defeated.

Zhang Lang saw that the defeat of Yuan Shu's army had been born, and he rushed out with both the two wings of the Tibetan Ba and Lian Rong to help the chain of iron horses.

Ji Lingjun couldn't resist the strong impact of the chain horses and cavalry, and the formation was chaotic and routed.

The two cavalry were still charging sharply. only almost rushed to Yuan Shuzhong's army, and then Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

This battle made Yuan Shuqi's face turn white, and his hands and feet trembled. I didn't expect the Xuzhou soldiers to be so brave, and there was a surprising heavy armor horse formation, I thought that I would lead the army, the three armies would serve their orders, charge forward with all their might, and with the advantage of troops, they would definitely defeat the other party. I didn't expect that it was myself who lost, and it was a big loss of morale, which was really unexpected.

Xuyi City won a great victory in the first battle against Yuan Shu, and obtained a lot of weapons and horses, which stimulated the morale of the three armies.

Iron helmets chain Mawei town Huainan.

At the same time, he received an army of 10,000 led by Tai Shi Ci and met Xu Sheng in Si. Xu Shengben was conscientious, afraid that the grain and grass would be lost, and he was overjoyed when he saw Tai Shici leading troops to help. Knowing that Li Feng was about to be killed, he used grain and grass as a plan to lure Li Feng to come to get food.

Although Li Feng was a fierce general, he had no strategy, and he was easily deceived, and was led into a valley, flanked in front and back, and although the 30,000 troops had an advantage in strength, they were defeated and taken prisoner.

The two led the troops to carry food and came to Xuyi. Zhang Lang was overjoyed and sent Zhang Liao to lead the troops to respond.

After the defeat of Cao Ying, the morale of the Xuzhou soldiers was once again unprecedentedly high, and they were united in their hearts, waiting to kill Yuan.

The next day, Zhang Lang bullied Yuan Shu and couldn't find a good way in a short time, and also sent Zhao Yun to lead the iron helmet chain of horses out of battle, Yuan Shu really couldn't think of a good way for a while, and was defeated again and again. There were many casualties.

The two armies slowly entered a stalemate.

On the fifth day, Yuan Shu could not attack for a long time, and he was defeated repeatedly, losing his troops and losing his generals, and when he was upset, he finally came up with a way to do things, and said to him: "Although the impact of the Xuzhou chain horse is strong, but the action is slow, the agility is not good, as long as a horse falls, a team will lose the ability to maneuver, our army can dig more traps in front of the big tent, and then make a mark, to order the general to lead an army to return by fraud, lead the enemy army to catch up, and the road is more than iron thistle terrestris (note, also known as iron, shaped like thistle, hence the name. It has three sharp points with a hole in the center for easy threading with a rope. Can destroy enemy combat teams. It can also be regarded as an ancient landmine. You can break the iron-clad chain of horses. ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he went to battle with the order.
