Hua Xiong snorted coldly: "How can Li Dao dare to be in charge of the Xiliang Army." The lord is the son of the Taishi, and he is buried by the Taishi, so he should be in charge of the Xiliang Army. “

Xu Rong also said: "The combat strength of the Xiliang Army is one of the best in our Han Dynasty, and it would be best if it could be won over." ”

The meaning of the generals is very clear, the main battle, advocate killing to Luoyang, and seize control of the Xiliang Army.

Lu Bu was also a little moved, and asked Chen Heng: "Can feather arrows, swords and guns, shields, grain and grass support a few months of fighting?" ”

"Lord Hui, except for the lack of feather arrows, the other ordnance, grain and grass are very sufficient, and the grain and grass are enough to support the battle."

Yu Ban salute: "My lord, the young general opposes sending troops." ”

"Oh, please speak."

"The Xiliang soldiers are very powerful, well-equipped, and have a high proportion of cavalry. There are few dangerous places around Luoyang, if it is a field battle, under the condition that we have an advantage, it is not cost-effective to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. What's more, if we attack now, we can only let Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Yang Ding twist into a rope, so let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see how their situation changes before making a decision. ”

Lu Bu nodded frequently: "Wen Ze's analysis is very reasonable, the Xiliang soldiers are extremely strong and difficult to fight, there are many cavalry in Xiliang, and Xiliang's war horses are very good." ”

Chen Gong pointed to the Tiger Prison Pass: "Li Dao will definitely not give up the Tiger Prison Pass, the gateway of Luoyang, and now the general guarding the pass is Yang Ding, which shows that Li Dao does not want him to enter the circle of the core of the Xiliang Army." ”

Lu Bu once stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass and knew the importance of the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Then send troops tomorrow, only lead a small number of cavalry, go to explore the depths, and if you feel wrong, withdraw immediately."

The generals asked for battle, and Lu Bu pressed his hand: "Generals, this trip is just a test, not a big war, there are not many soldiers and horses, this general is the commander, Chen Gong is the military division, Xu Rong only brings a thousand cavalry, and Gao Shun only takes the headquarters to trap the camp with a thousand." The others are performing their duties in Jinan County, strengthening military training, and must not slack off. ”

"Yes."

There were more than 10,000 cavalry, but 20,000 horses.

Among them, there are only about 8,000 Xiliang horses, and the other 12,000 are grassland horses that the Central Plains people look down on.

The cavalry marched extremely fast, and ran out more than 120 miles in the same day.

Three days later, the army arrived at the east of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the cavalry camped without even a fence, which can be said to be very bold.

The military flag in the Guannai was restless, and the war drums were roaring, as if they were about to be fought at any time.

Lu Bu ordered: "Xu Rong and Dian Wei, you two bring three thousand cavalry to call the formation, it doesn't matter if you fight or not, watch Yang Ding, don't let them come out and disturb the camp of the army." ”

"Yes."

Xu Rong and Dian Wei picked up the people and came to the Tiger Prison to call for battle.

Xu Rong shouted: "General Yang, switch quickly, we are going to Luoyang to meet General Li, we are all in the same vein as the Xiliang Army." ”

On the city tower, Yang Ding spat out: "I, you are the Xiliang army of wool, betrayed the Taishi and took refuge in Lu Bu." ”

Xu Rong was annoyed: "Didn't you also take refuge in Wang Yun?" It was with Wang Yun who killed the Taishi, and brazenly said to me, I really didn't know that there was shame in the world. ”

"Piff, I don't know how to write dead words, Ben will go out of the city and cut you."

Yang Ding was actually afraid of Lu Bu, if Lu Bu came over to call the battle, he would definitely not fight, but Xu Rong, after all, is older, in his forties, and he has already passed the prime of life.

Yang fixed the 3,000 cavalry out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the army lined up.

This cavalry is really mighty, Xiliang horse is unusually tall, the cavalry is wearing cowhide armor, and at first glance it is a veteran of a hundred battles.

Yang Ding flew out with a horse, shook the spear in his hand, and challenged Xu Rong.

"Old dog Xu Rong, come up and send him to death."

Xu Rong was about to face the battle, when he heard Dian Wei next to him shouting: "General Xu, I have never made an inch of merit since I came." ”

"Okay, you go, just be careful, Yang Ding's martial arts are not simple."

Dian Wei brandished his halberd and went up.

Yang Ding looked at where the big man came from, the unknown man, somewhat underestimated the enemy, and he was most afraid of this in the war.

The two horses circled, but in three rounds, Dian Wei's left halberd jammed Yang Ding's spear, and the halberd in his right hand pierced Yang Ding's throat, and Yang Ding died under the horse.

The Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side saw that the main generals were dead, and this was okay, so they rushed up, and Xu Rong shouted: "Rush." ”

Dian Wei took the lead, where there was a general, like a bulldozer, and the elite Xiliang cavalry flew one after another.

Behind him, Xu Rong brandished a big knife and led the cavalry to pounce up.

Because of Yang Ding's death, the enemy's momentum was not good, and they were quickly defeated.

The bows and arrows on the city wall were too fierce, and they did not pursue, and counted the number of people, wounded three hundred, and killed sixty.

Cavalry battles are so brutal, tight on contact, so many casualties.

Looking at the enemy again, it was even more miserable, with more than 300 killed and more than 300 wounded, of which dozens of people were killed by Dian Wei.

More than 300 uninjured horses were captured, and more than 200 wounded soldiers of the enemy army were collected.

Lu Bu was very distressed and led the medical staff up.

"Heal the wounded and clean up the battlefield."

The equipment of the medical staff has also been greatly improved, equipped with sharp knives, needles and threads, hemostatic medicines, gold sore medicines, and Lu Bu's miracle medicine amoxicillin.

As soon as Lu Bu appeared, he naturally suppressed these captive soldiers of Yang Ding, and the wounded soldiers were obedient one by one, and none of them dared to make a mistake.

Lu Bu made a straight face: "You little hairy children, you dare to play tricks in front of the general, you deserve to be beaten." Ben will not remember the villain, spare you this time. ”

In this battle, Dian Wei was the first to take credit, Xu Rong was second, and the credit book was recorded.

Dian Wei is beautiful, walking is different, and it is finally a meritorious service.

Dozens of high-voiced soldiers shouted with iron cylinders: "Listen to the brothers inside, Wen Hou and we are a family, as long as we accept the adaptation, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, everyone has money to take, what's wrong." ”

There was an adjutant general at the head of the city, named Li Yuan, who was Li Wei's cousin, who came to supervise Yang Ding, and when he saw the soldiers wavering, he ordered loudly: "Brothers, release arrows and shoot these bastards." ”

Fortunately, the shouting soldier ran fast, so he escaped for his life.

Lu Bu shook his head, thinking that he could take the pass, it seems that he has heard too much about the storytelling.

"Order the soldiers, eat and drink enough and sleep well."

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, the soldiers were woken up by whispers.

Under the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Gao Shun led hundreds of elite soldiers to a forest not far away.

The soldiers can pass quickly with their waists bent, this is the back door left by Lu Bu when he was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and it can go straight to the inside of the Tiger Prison Pass.
