Chapter 245: Yan Liang
Yan Liang is not very old, only in his thirties, but he is already a well-known figure in the Le'an Yan family.
In fact, for this time Yan Liang led the crowd to defect to Liu Jian, most of the elders in his clan disagreed.
Although Liu Jian has a great reputation and is the head of General Zuo in Jizhou, his foundation is not in Qingzhou after all.
The Yan family belongs to the Haoyou clan in Qingzhou, although there are no particularly famous celebrities in the family, but they have great influence in the local area, and many of the older generations in the family have been conquered by Qingzhou's Thorn History and Taishou Xiangguo.
Therefore, the relationship with the governor of Jizhou is not in the interests of the Yan family in Qingzhou.
But the young Yan Liang insisted on identifying Liu Jian in his heart.
This is not to say how far-sighted and far-sighted Yan Liang is.
It's really because Yan Liang has been martial arts since he was a child and worships famous generals.
When he was a child, he often dreamed of leading thousands of troops to sweep through the border passes, defeat Xianbei, and fight the wonderful scenes of the Huns.
And Liu Jian fulfilled the dream that Yan Liang did not achieve when he was thirty years old.
A few years ago, Yan Liang heard that there was a new young hero in Mobei, who was only ten years old, so he killed the Xianbei leader and the company, and also brought back the corpse of the Xianbei hero Tan Shihuai who crisscrossed the desert for the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that he is a rare young warrior in the Han Dynasty for decades.
That is, from the moment he learned the news, Yan Liang began to pay special attention to Liu Jian's news.
Yan Liang was not interested in Liu Jian's identity as a celebrity or a relative of the Han family, he just wanted to see how much Liu Jian could contribute to the Han Dynasty in the military field.
Later, Liu Jian really did not disappoint Yan Liang, and in the three years after the victory in Mobei, Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song jointly crusaded against the Yellow Turban, and killed Zhang Jiao with his own hands, ending the Yellow Turban Rebellion that terrified all the high-level nobles of the entire Han Dynasty.
Subsequently, Liu Jian was sent to Jizhou as a pastor, and repeatedly quelled the rebellion and recruited displaced people to Tuntian in the territory under his jurisdiction, forming an army, and had the posture of a generation of famous generals.
Yan Liang very much hopes that he can become a person like Liu Jian.
He began to have the heart to take refuge under Liu Jian's command.
It's a pity that he has been nesting in Qingzhou and has no chance to achieve his wish.
Le'an and Bohai are adjacent to each other, so in history, Yan Liang's family promoted Yan Liang to Yuan Shao's command as a general after Yuan Shao settled in Bohai.
It can be said that Yan Liang in history became Yuan Shao's subordinate for the sake of his family.
However, in this changed historical process, Yuan Shao did not come to Bohai, and the identity and position of Liu Jian's clan did not meet the political needs of the Le'an Yan family, so they did not advocate letting Yan Liang take refuge in Liu Jian.
From their point of view, compared to the Han family, it was the family of the fourth and third princes who made them more excited.
But Yan Liang did not support the ideas of the elders in the clan, and even sneered at them.
Yan Liang felt that he was the patriarch of the Le'an Yan generation, and he didn't need to be pointed at by a group of old things.
It can be said that Yan Liang is one of the few brainless fans of Liu Jian in the Han Dynasty.
And until today, Yan Liang finally had the opportunity to meet Liu Jian.
At this moment, the elite cavalry led by Zhang He and Gao Ran finally dispatched!
These two thousand elite cavalry are elite troops built by Liu Jian at great expense.
These two thousand cavalry are tall and strong, full of energy, they are wearing Xuan armor, holding spears, carrying horizontal knives at their waists, full of spirit, anyone who sees these two thousand Jizhou elite cavalry will be intimidated by their might.
Because these two thousand cavalry are not only well-equipped, but also have a looming evil aura on their bodies, which can only be found after strict training and battlefield fighting.
"Look, my lord, Sima Zhang and Sima Gao are fighting!"
On the city wall, Xia Houlan excitedly pointed to the distance, while Liu Jian squinted in the direction of his finger.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The shouts of the two thousand sharps soared to the sky, deafening, and the momentum was extremely majestic.
From the valley on the side, Zhang He and Gao Ran rushed out as the pioneers, and the two thousand Jizhou elites followed closely behind them.
The two thousand rushing horsemen charged like sharp spears that shone with cold light, making a heavy stomping sound that pierced the air, and all the sharp men turned into an unstoppable blade, stabbing straight at the Yellow Turban army miles away, aiming at the heart of the enemy.
This distance was just enough for the cavalry to accelerate their charge.
The cavalry's tactics focused on sprinting.
As long as the acceleration is enough, the cavalry on the plains is invincible, and their speed and dash can break through everything.
Zhang He and Gao Ran took the lead, their speed became faster and faster, and the Jizhou elite cavalry followed behind the two of them, and soon arrived at the outer battlefield of Licheng where the Yellow Turban Army was attacking the city.
The Yellow Turban Army on the periphery of the battlefield was already in chaos because of the stone thrower, and suddenly, they felt a slight vibration on the ground, and as time passed, this vibration was becoming more and more intense.
Not only that, but the shrill neighing of horses could be heard in their ears.
The voices grew louder and louder, from far and near, and it felt as if a thousand horses were galloping towards where they were.
Some of the Yellow Turban soldiers hurriedly turned their heads and saw a scene that shocked them inexplicably,
Thousands of heavily armored cavalry were coming with a rapid onslaught.
Seeing cavalry on the ancient flat battlefield is equivalent to seeing lions on the grassland and tigers in the mountains and forests.
The Jizhou cavalry, which galloped from several miles away, under the leadership of Zhang He and Gao Ran, crashed into the Yellow Turban army formation, which had no formation, like tanks.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army was already very low, but now that so many cavalry suddenly appeared, this terrible combat force became the last straw that crushed them.
Exhausted, where did they have the strength to resist the ferocious attacks of these cavalry like tigers coming out of their cages.
Zhang He and Gao Ran followed Liu Jian's orders, and did not kill the Yellow Turban Army, they just kept charging forward, using these two thousand cavalry with high fighting spirit and complete physical strength to divide the Yellow Turban Army into one section after another.
As long as they can divide their teams and make them unable to care for each other, no matter how many people there are, in the end they will only trample on each other and push themselves into the abyss.
Liu Jian at the head of the city had ordered the soldiers to stop shooting arrows and throwing stones.
After seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan's cavalry split the opponent's camp, Liu Jian raised his fist high and smashed it the battlements of the city wall, looking extremely excited.
"Good! Ordered Xu Rong to command the soldiers to attack, take advantage of the Yellow Turban chaos, defeat the crowd, and kill the thief! ”
"Whoa!" The herald took the order and departed.
Zhang Fei, who was beside Liu Jian, licked his lips, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the work that Liu Jian assigned to him in this battle.
"Brother, why don't you let me fight?"
Liu Jian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?" Yide is my last resort, if it is not the last resort, how can I let you lead the crowd to attack? ”
Zhang Fei is also a thief and a thief who is learning from Liu Jian now, and ordinary lies can't fool him.
"Brother, let's be straightforward, you deliberately want to give Zhang and Gao two a chance to make meritorious contributions, right?"
Liu Jian smiled when he heard this.
"You are already a captain of the Han Dynasty, and if you go up, you will be a general, just ask the entire Han Dynasty, how many can get the title of general? Brother, I'm one. ”
Zhang Feiyan said: "Brother, you don't have to say it so vaguely, you should brag when you should brag, and you won't get in the way!" Okay, then I won't compete with these young people. ”
Liu Jian laughed dryly.
This Tie Hanhan when he was the Four Tigers of Zhuoxian County with him back then, although his ability is now great, he is not as cute as he was back then.
At the same time, Zhang He and Gao Ran's cavalry had successfully rushed the Yellow Turban Army.
They didn't stop, they had already turned their horses' heads, and rushed straight to the positions of the two yellow turban bosses in Fuyun and Yuancheng.
The Yellow Turban Army's position was cut off, and most of the soldiers' mentality collapsed in an instant, and they fled in all directions, running around like headless flies, and countless of their own people were trampled under their feet and became victims.
And Xu Rong's army has also been killed from Licheng.
When it comes to the ability to command an army, Xu Rong is second to none in the Han Dynasty, and few people are his opponents.
And today's beating of the water dog is even more of a game for Xu Rong.
Seeing this, the two marshals of Fuyun and Yuancheng finally panicked.
They began to lead their own soldiers to the rear in a panic, trying to avoid Zhang He, who was leading the cavalry towards them.
But they didn't expect that on the way to retreat, they actually ran into an army head-on.
The other party's equipment is not as neat as the Jizhou army, and it seems to be a civilian miscellaneous army.
The leader of the group, dressed in light armor and holding a long knife, was in his thirties, staring at the two of them majestically.
In the Yellow Turban Army, people like Fuyun and Yuancheng have very recognizable identities - in the entire Yellow Turban Army, the two of them are the two of them who are the most neatly dressed and decent, and most of the Yellow Turban Army are mixed as if they are asking for food.
Listening to the increasing chaos in the rear, it was obvious that Zhang He's cavalry had broken through the layers of obstacles and was rushing towards them.
Fuyun was anxious, and yelled at Yan Liang on the opposite side: "Get out of the way for me!" ”
Before the words fell, he saw that Yan Liang had already rushed in front of him by surprise, and before Fuyun showed a surprised look, Yan Liang swung down with a knife and directly cut off half of his head.
On the other side, Yuancheng's face turned pale, and he and his Yellow Turban guards just wanted to fight back, but they saw Yan Liang sweeping the army with a blow on the side of the sword.
Yuancheng's head also flew high from his neck in an instant, and then fell to the dust.
Yan Liang laughed and said happily: "Very good! Use the heads of your two thieves to do Yan's close-quarters work to General Zuo! Hahahaha! God help me! ”
