Chapter 18, and the military authority of the state
Under the city of Juancheng, today is the second day that Fang Guang and his party entered the city.
At the fourth watch, before dawn, the people in the city heard the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves coming from the southwest.
When the time came, the sky was shining, and Fang Guang and Fengxiao came to the city wall of Juancheng with the generals of Cao Ying, only to see that hundreds of elite horsemen were hidden in the mist in the place where arrows could not reach the city gate a few miles away.
Fang Guang came to this Fang world, started as a Yellow Turban light soldier, and then went to the land of Youyan in the plains, and when he went to Yanzhou Ming Gong, he also saw many strong soldiers in the world.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's headquarters were mainly cavalry, mixed with Xianbei blood and Wuhuan blood, this cavalry was the foundation of their brothers' foothold in the troubled times.
Although the number of Guan Zhang is only hundreds, it is very useful,
The Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao were also brave and vigorous, known as the strong soldiers at that time, and they lined up with swords, shields, bows and crossbows in accordance with the art of war, which was very elite!
It's just that at this time, the armor and horse equipment under Juancheng City are the first time Fang Guang has seen them here.
Although most of Zhang Liao's iron cavalry were only half armor, they were full of murderous spirits that soared into the sky.
On the city wall, Fang Guang remembered that Zhang Liao, who was only twenty-four or five now, would be shocked in the future, so that Dongwu Xiao'er would not dare to cry at night, and his face instantly became serious.
"Bingzhou Malaysia really deserves its reputation, if Ming Gong has this army, Tao Qian'an dares to be rude to Yanzhou?"
Fang Guang muttered casually, and was clearly heard by Li Dian beside him.
At this time, Man Cheng was no more than a military captain, and he was not a top general in Cao's army, but he commanded hundreds of parts, but he was greatly appreciated by Cao Cao for his strict military discipline.
Hearing Fang Guang's words, Li Dian only felt a hot and sour breath gushing out of his heart, as if he was not exhausted if he didn't show himself in front of Mr. Datong.
"How strange is it to merge the soldiers of the state? Mr. Datong and watch the battle in the city tower to see how my Qingzhou soldiers break this thief! ”
"Someone, pass on my generals' orders, and my subordinates will form a formation to meet the enemy!"
Li Dian ran down the city tower to assemble the troops after a few words.
"Knock knock!"
With the sound of dull snare drums, the gates of Juancheng slowly opened.
Li Dian's trilogy was originally born in Qingzhou.
The area around Juancheng is the place where the families of Qingzhou soldiers are placed, and many military women and children have watched their fathers kill the enemy since childhood.
In order to boost the morale of the army and help defend the city by the way, Xiahoudun did not prohibit the military dependents from watching the battle, and many women watched Li Dian's troops go out of the city and shouted to cheer up.
"Okay, Manguo is a strict ruler of the army, but the eight hundred armor soldiers have the charm of not moving like a mountain!"
Xiahoudun couldn't help but praise Li Dian's strict arrangement when he looked at it.
"Mr. Datong, I still rarely watch my Cao Jun kill thieves, the Ming Gong Department is different from the Yellow Turban!"
However, at this time, there was a yin and yang strange voice beside him, and there was a lot of contempt in his words.
But it's the cousin of the family, Xia Houen.
"What nonsense? What is the difference between the yellow scarf, Mr. Datong is the advisor that the lord fancies, and it is difficult to say that he will be a military advisor in the future, Hugh is talking nonsense here, go and urge the bow and crossbow at the head of the city to shoot me well in a while! ”
Xiahoudun glared at Xiahouen fiercely, and the latter walked away from Fang Guang in a gloomy manner.
"Mr. Datong, this is my brother Xia Houen, his words are unobstructed, Mr. don't take it to heart."
"Oh? It turned out to be Brother Xiahou, a boy with a sword, it doesn't matter, I was originally born in a yellow scarf, just to remind Yuan Rang, let my brother stop playing with swords, and be careful when I meet someone surnamed Zhao. ”
The corners of Fang Guang's mouth curled, where would he take the words of that famous NPC to heart.
At this moment, Fang Guang's ears suddenly heard a rapid drum beat, which was different from Cao Jun's military drum, and then the city wall seemed to shake.
"What a might!"
While he was talking to Xiahoudun, Li Dian's troops had already pushed to the head of the city.
In the mist, the Jianzhou Iron Cavalry, which could only faintly see the outline, rectified the formation extremely quickly, and saw that Li Dianbu rushed forward with a phalanx, and instantly began a ferocious charge.
"Crossbow ready!"
"Two columns, two columns of big shields, spearheads!"
Cao Cao himself is a master of the art of war, and Meng De's new book contains more than ten kinds of formations.
Now under the city of Juancheng, the military formation of Li Dian's department is the formation of Cao Cao's refined study of restraining cavalry.
Although Li Dian's subordinates quickly adjusted their formation, the eyes of these Qingzhou soldiers still flashed with fear at the same time.
The charge of the Bingzhou Assault Cavalry evoked the bad memories of these Qingzhou soldiers.
Just two years ago, the tragic Qingzhou soldiers were defeated in Qingzhou by a general who loved to ride a white horse, and that general slaughtered tens of thousands of Qingzhou homeless people with 3,000 fine horsemen.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow bolts fired by the crossbowmen in the first row did little damage to the horses.
The rising sun slowly pierced the dense fog at this time, and in the fog, the veterans of Zhang Liao's army were full of hideousness, the tip of the horse lance, and the blade of the riding ge, emitting a dazzling cold light in the sun.
"Run, run!"
"The cavalry is here to cut off the head again!"
Li Dian's troops, who were constrained by strict discipline, collapsed with almost no resistance under the gaze of the people of Juancheng.
Seeing this, Fang Guang's heart trembled, and unconsciously, his palms were already sweating.
"The thief is so sharp! Come on, pass on my general order, let my tiger and leopard troops go out of the city to meet the enemy! ”
At the time of the Yanzhou Rebellion, the famous tiger and leopard cavalry in later generations were not concentrated under Cao Chun, but were scattered in the tribes of various clansmen.
Fang Guang heard what Xiahou Dun beside him said, and knew that this great master was going to work hard.
He was about to stop Xiahoudun when suddenly there was a thunderclap-like shouting around him.
"My lord, Mr. Datong, Dian Wei has not made much meritorious service since he drove Mr., and today he is willing to use his military horses to break through the state and iron cavalry!"
The mountain-like man behind Fang Guang, the beard on his chin and lips was all open, obviously angry in his heart.
Behind Dian Wei, with Fang Guang's Yellow Turban Tribe as the core, hundreds of men shouted along with Dian Wei.
"I am willing to break the state iron cavalry for Captain Fang!"
Most of the Yellow Turban troops are clothed in cloth and use knives and axes as blades, which seem to be ordinary, but there seems to be a fire shining in everyone's eyes.
Xia Houen heard Dian Wei's words, and then looked at Fang Guang's old armor and couldn't help but laugh again, but saw that his most feared and respected cousin had a solemn look on his face.
Cao Junda, the leader of the Wuxun Group in Qiaoxian County, faced Dian Wei with a respectful fist and saluted.
"Dare to ask the name of the strong man, who can be sure of the thief?"
"I am Dian Wei, Chen Liubuyi, but there are two pairs of iron armor, dare to kill Zhang Liao's thief!"
Dian Wei's halberd throwing that day shocked Xiahoudun very much, and now his appearance is even more in line with Fan Hao under Han Gaozu.
