Chapter 168: The First Try

Wei Xuan worked hard to lead the army to the rescue, Liu Xie did not have half a word of praise, and offered two bowls of lamb slices in exchange for Liu Xie's meritorious deeds, this little emperor is really a child's temperament. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wei Xuan couldn't help but be a little curious, Liu Xie didn't even have anything to eat, and what could he use to reward.

But I heard Liu Xie turn his head and ask, "Huang Aiqing, where is this?"

Huang Wan hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, this is Yanshi County." ”

Liu Xie let out an "oh" and said, "Wei Qing, I will make you the Marquis of Yanshi." ”

Wei Xuan reminded: "The emperor has been a vassal of Chu last year. ”

At most, Yanshi can only be counted as a county marquis, while Chu Hou is in the name of the country, and Chu Hou is renamed Yanshi Hou, which is not a reward but a depreciation. Liu Xie suddenly blushed, and quickly coughed dryly: "This, then I will enter you as the Duke of Chu." ”

Huang Wan was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

Dian Wei let out a heavy "um", and Xu Chu snorted coldly. These two, one is nine feet tall like a black tower, and the other is as big as an iron wall, and they stood on both sides of Huang Wan, and immediately scared Huang Wan back with all the words he didn't finish.

Liu Xie also shuddered, and hurriedly said: "I will give you a sword to go to the palace again, and you will not be able to enter the court, and you will not be named." ”

This treatment was specially proposed by Dong Zhuo back then, and Liu Xie was frightened and directly added to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan naturally didn't shirk, and arched his hand: "The minister's order." ”

Huang Wan was annoyed in his heart, but he was surrounded by Wei Xuan's military horses, and the Imperial Forest Army beside Liu Xie was only more than 300 people, and it was not enough for others to stuff their teeth if they really wanted to fight, so they could only swallow their anger.

Suddenly, a horse came to report: "Lord Qi, Li and Guo are still ten miles away from here!"

Liu Xie was so shocked that his face was pale, and the empty bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor, and watch the ministers come to break the thief!" After speaking, he turned over and jumped on the red rabbit horse, pointed the fairy sword forward, and said loudly: "Sons, kill the thief with the lonely!"

The army shouted, urged the horses, and immediately divided into four teams. A team of 2,000 cavalry led by Xu Huang surrounded Liu Xie and all the hundreds of officials and guarded them in the middle. A team led by Wei Xuanqin led 5,000 horsemen to rush forward. The other two teams were each led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu to outflank the enemy's two flanks. This is the technique that the Chu army has practiced for a long time.

After a short time, there was a lot of smoke and dust in front, and countless people and horses were killed, and it was the Xiliang rebels of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "Release the arrow!"

The cavalry of the Chu army was all equipped with bows and arrows and sabers, and the war horses were also nailed with horseshoes and double stirrups. The sound of the iron horse's shoe on the hard ground is like thunder, and even tens of thousands of riders are not as good as it. There were many cavalry in the Xiliang army, but they were all stagnant, and the formation was gradually chaotic. The momentum of the Chu army continued unabated, and the arrows were fired in unison.

Before the double stirrups were equipped, the cavalry's main mode of combat was mounted archery. The Xiliang rebels had 50,000 cavalry, and naturally they were also skilled in cavalry and archery. However, with the exception of a few of them, the so-called mounted archery is only to shoot arrows on horseback. However, the Chu army is really riding and shooting, because the equipment of the double stirrups has completely liberated the hands of the Chu cavalry.

Shoot arrows while the war horse gallops, and the arrow can also use the inertia of the war horse galloping, and the range is greatly increased. Before the Xiliang rebels could react, they were shot and fell off their horses one after another. And when they restrained their horses, picked up their bows and arrows, and prepared to counterattack, the second wave of arrow rain of the Chu army arrived. It took a few arrows from the Xiliang rebels to shoot out, and they fell a large piece.

Seeing that the Chu army was getting closer and closer, the cavalry of the Xiliang rebels was finally able to launch a decent counterattack. However, at this time, the cavalry of the Chu army put away their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, and the sharp blades shone with a dazzling cold light in the setting sun.

The Xiliang rebels had never seen cavalry have this kind of tactics, and after being slightly stunned, they hurriedly shot the feather arrows in their hands, which did make some Chu knights plant their horses.

It's a pity that their counterattack only had this chance to work, and the unabated Chu cavalry crashed directly into their formation, constantly waving their sabers, and frantically harvesting their lives one by one. The Xiliang rebels were in chaos all of a sudden, but fortunately, the Chu army reined in and turned back after a charge.

At this time, the Chinese army of Li Dao and Guo Yan had also arrived. Seeing that the cavalry on the other side was only a few thousand, Li Dao waved his knife and shouted: "Chase after so-and-so, kill them all!"

Although they chased and fled, it was those pursuers who were passively beaten. Because the cavalry of the Chu army could reflexively shoot arrows while fleeing, and the Xiliang rebels could only stop if they wanted to counterattack, but as soon as they stopped, the Chu army ran away again.

In this way, one chased and one fled out of five or six miles, the left and right wings of the rebels suddenly made the same sound, Dian Wei and Xu Chu each led the cavalry from both sides to kill, and cut the rebels into three sections, Wei Xuan also turned over and killed back, and the three attacked together, and the rebel formation was completely chaotic.

The two armies were in a scuffle, and the bow and arrow could no longer play much role, but it was the sabre of the Chu army that became the magic weapon for victory. And Wei Xuan, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, all of them have the courage of ten thousand people, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't resist it, so they turned around and ran, and the headquarters suddenly collapsed.

Wei Xuan waved his army to cover up and kill, and chased all the way. More than 100,000 Xiliang rebels fled with only a few thousand horsemen, and most of the rest surrendered. Coincidentally, Guo Jia also led the infantry army to arrive, gathered the soldiers, and won 80,000 people, and more than 30,000 war horses. This battle was won smoothly and vividly, and it was also the first time that the cavalry of the Chu army tried the knife.

......

After this battle, Li Dao and Guo Yan were greatly injured, and there was no need to worry. But Wei Xuan did not relax, and secretly ordered Dian Wei and Xu Huang to lead 10,000 cavalry to pursue, and Sun Ce led 20,000 infantry troops to respond, so as to take the head of the two thieves.

Wei Xuan himself came to see Liu Xie with the power of victory, and said: "The minister has ordered someone to take Chang'an, I don't know if the emperor wants to stay in Luoyangye?

Although Liu Xie had experienced many turbulences, it was the first time he had seen such a vicious battle as today, especially the shock caused by the Chu army's iron cavalry stepping on the ground made his heart tremble. Seeing Wei Xuan appear in front of him covered in blood, Liu Xie's face turned completely white with a brush, where did he dare to take any ideas, he just said repeatedly: "It's up to Aiqing to decide." ”

Huang Wan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but to no avail. It doesn't matter how famous you are or how high your official position is, if you don't have military power in this troubled world, then it's not a fart.

Wei Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said directly: "Chang'an is still occupied by the two thieves, and the Luoyang palace is all in ruins. ”

Liu Xie was really hungry and scared, and when he heard that there was food and drink, he nodded again and again: "I will follow what Qing played and move to Xiangyang!"

Wei Xuan surrendered his promise, turned around and ordered: "Wei Yan and Le Jin, you two lead troops to escort the emperor to Xiangyang first, and find a huge room to settle for the time being." Spread the word to Deju, and asked him to organize his husband and build the palace. ”

Wei Yan was surprised: "The lord doesn't return to Xiangyang?"

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "If the two thieves are not removed, it will be difficult for the community to be safe, and you should be alone to capture them!"

Li Dao and Guo Yan are already like lost dogs, even if Wei Xuan doesn't make a move, some forces hidden in the shadows will fall into the ground. But Wei Xuan still decided to go in person, just for one thing.
