When Lu Lingqi left Juyong Pass, somewhere in the east of Jixian County, Tian Chou and the 3,000 tribes led by Murong Ziying were less than 100 miles away from Jixian County. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but it is less than a hundred miles away, but Tian Chou walks a little slowly. For nothing else, Tian Chou's 3,000 tribes are all infantry in his own cottage, and they are now confronting the 3,000 Karasuma light cavalry. Or it should be said that Tian Chou was actually leading the three thousand soldiers who had formed a battle formation, and approached the three thousand Karasuma light cavalry step by step.

Tian Chou was not in a hurry, and Murong Ziying was naturally not in a hurry. After all, the infantry and the cavalry are facing each other, and if it is a hedge, it will definitely be the infantry who suffers. If you want to restrain the onslaught of the cavalry, the only way to do this is to force the cavalry to be unable to attack with a strong battle formation. As for the light cavalry of the Karasuma Ranger...... How many years has Tian Chou dealt with Lu Ren? Although strictly speaking, the soldiers led by Tian Chou belong to the nature of the militia, but the crossbow in Tian Chou's hand, the defenders of Jixian County are all red-eyed. So at this time, if the Karasuma cavalry wants to compare the bow and crossbow with Tian Chou's troops, they are looking for death.

The range of the bow and crossbow on the horse of Karasuma Ranger is not more than 80 paces at most, and the ability to shoot is also very poor when people are on horses. Ke Tian Chou's bow and crossbow is the standard crossbow of Yizhou, and the range is generally about one hundred and fifty steps, which is nearly twice as high as that of Hu Qi, and the continuous shooting ability is far stronger than that of Karasuma bow. Let's put it this way, as long as the Karasuma Ranger is a little bit forward, there will be a large canopy of arrows covering the field, and the Karasuma Ranger will be shot into a hedgehog before he even has time to open his bow.

In fact, as early as when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan were fighting, Yuan Shao used a powerful bow and crossbow force to completely defeat Gongsun Chan's most elite cavalry unit, the White Horse Yicong, and Gongsun Chan's White Horse Yicong was the elite cavalry of the cavalry that even Karasuma Hu Cavalry was afraid of, that is to say, Gongsun Chan's cavalry strength was still above the Karasuma cavalry. But what is the situation now? The strength of Tian Chou's crossbowmen is far above that of Yuan Shao's crossbowmen back then, but the cavalry strength of these Karasuma rangers is under the original white horse Yicong, how much is the gap here? With these 3,000 ragtag army-like Karasuma rangers, they want to exert their might in front of Tian Chou's crossbow array? There are no doors!

As the Yizhou battle array slowly approached, and the ensuing rain of arrows, the three thousand Karasuma rangers were finally scattered and ran away. Tian Chou inspected the battlefield and nodded lightly: "Pass the order, each department will clean up the battlefield in turn, and remember to collect more arrows." Ziying, you help me lead the trilogy first, I have to go to Jixian County. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

That's what happens in officialdom, you have to follow the process.

Tian Chou was meritorious at the beginning, but for some reason, Tian Chou was a knight but had no position. And because the situation in the place where Tian Chou stayed was relatively special, his strength was relatively strong, and Lao Cao also had a tacit attitude towards this. To put it bluntly, Lao Cao had to allow the existence of some powerful Hao clan personnel on the northern border, because these people could help fight a dozen nomadic tribes. If you use modern words to describe it, then goods like Tian Chou are similar to those products under the armor protection system.

However, Tian Chou went to the Jixian guard's head, and the Jixian guard's head was several times bigger. Tian Chou's reputation in the Youbeiping area is very high, and he took the initiative to come over to help, no matter how impatient the Jixian guards are, they have to listen to Tian Chou finish those long scenes.

And Tian Chou wants this effect. When Tian Chou was talking nonsense with the guards of Jixian County in Jixian County, the troops under the temporary command of Murong Ziying not only cleaned the battlefield and recovered the arrows that were fired, but also collected the spoils of war in an almost frenzied manner. Especially horses, this is what the field side needs very much. It's not that Tian Chou didn't have it, but Tian Chou's original cavalry strength was much in the Xianbei tribe led by Murong Ziying. After Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu diverted to Chrysanthemum Harbor, Tian Chou's cavalry strength dropped a lot, and he had to make up for it when he had the opportunity.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Tian Chou has too many contacts with Lu Ren, and some people in Youbeiping will inevitably have some suspicion of Tian Chou, and Tian Chou also understands this, so he also pays attention to some aspects, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble. But the military struggle is profitable, Tian Chou is now bringing troops to aid Jixian and Juyong Pass, if he doesn't get back some benefits, wouldn't it be a waste of money, food, soldiers and horses? So no matter how you say that cleaning the battlefield, Tian Chou has to do it, and the defenders of Jixian County just watch from the city wall.

Because Tian Chou's army had not withdrawn, and Cao Jun was already suspicious of Tian Chou's troops, the defenders of Jixian County naturally did not dare to open the city gate and go out of the city to do something. Tian Chou personally entered the city to negotiate, just to take advantage of Cao Bing's suspicion to drag on for some time, and then he swept the battlefield cleanly. The previous battle was not big, the three thousand Karasuma rangers were probably put down by seven or eight hundred, and there were three or four hundred horses left on the battlefield that could be used. Dead horses, crippled horses, of course, are sent to the soldiers to cook...... The 3,000 foot soldiers ate about 200 dead horses, which was almost enough for everyone to have a good meal. Then again, after several days of driving, it's time for everyone to have a good meal.

By the time Tian Chou came back from the official battle, his subordinates had already finished cleaning the battlefield, and at the same time, they had already set up camp outside Jixian County and buried pots to cook. Cao Bing could only watch from the city wall, and then smelled the aroma of horse meat but had no share.

It was a little less nonsense, only that after Tian Chou came back, he mentioned to Murong Ziying that the reinforcements sent by Jixian County to Juyong Pass were blocked back by three thousand Karasuma rangers, and then Tian Chou smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. And when Murong Ziying asked, Tian Chou explained that although the guards of Jixian County were not very good, Tian Yu of Juyongguan was a person. And Lu Lingqi has already rushed to the rescue of Juyong Pass, although there are only 2,000 horsemen, but as soon as the news of the road is opened, there will be absolutely no problem with Tian Yu in Juyong Pass for another five or six days.

Moreover, the three thousand Karasuma rangers have been killed and dispersed by Tian Chou, and the defenders of Jixian County are moving quickly, and they can reach Juyong Pass within two days. As a reinforcement, the basic purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to help Cao Jun too much. And if you really fight too much, some things may be difficult to explain. Now we have to think about how to get as much out of this battle as possible.

As soon as he finished saying this, the fast horse messenger from Lu Lingqi's side arrived, saying that Lu Lingqi happened to meet the more than 2,000 Karasuma rangers who had retreated on the way back to Jixian, meaning that he wanted to ask Tian Chou to go over for reinforcements. After hearing this, Tian Chou just smiled and said, "What kind of ghost reinforcement?" More than 2,000 Karasuma rangers who have no intention of fighting have met Lu Lingqi, who has not fought a battle until now, and I don't know how long he wants to fight happily, is simply Lu Lingqi's dish for drinking! We are drinking wine and eating meat here now, and we should also let Lu Yatou have a good time. ”

After Murong Ziying hesitated for a moment, she whispered a few words in Tian Chou's ear, and Tian Chou pondered for a moment after hearing it and nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――

At the beginning of the shift, on the road between Jixian County and Juyongguan, about four or five thousand horsemen were fighting here. To be exact, it was Lu Lingqi who was slaughtering more than 2,000 defeated Karasuma rangers here.

Karasuma's individual combat effectiveness is relatively strong, but the overall combat ability is not very good, plus they have already suffered a defeat during the day, and they all have no intention of fighting, and they just want to retreat from the mountain trail as soon as possible. But what about the 2,000 cavalry led by Lu Lingqi? These cavalry are the elite of Murong Ziying's careful training in the past two years, and in terms of individual combat power, they are already above the Karasuma light cavalry, and the group's combat ability is far inferior. Moreover, Murong Ziying's cavalry was several levels higher in weapons and equipment than the Karasuma rangers, and these cavalrymen were crazy to want to fight. When such two cavalry meet, just as Tian Chou said, these two thousand Karasuma rangers are simply Lu Lingqi's dishes for them to drink!

Lu Lingqi killed the happiest, and clashed back and forth with two thousand iron horsemen, and there was no one under the halberd. What about even a night fight? Karasuma rangers rely on torches, but the helmets of the Yizhou soldiers are all flashlights! How many years has the conventional civil lighting in Yizhou been, and where can the batch flashlight not be made? Therefore, Murong Ziying's cavalry and its night combat ability are not a joke. Of course, considering the limited power of the batteries and the limited number of batteries carried by individual soldiers, when there was no war, Murong Zibing's cavalry still used torches for lighting at night.

On the other hand, the Karasuma Ranger was already killed at this time, and they all just wanted to take the road and escape, which made the already scattered formation even more chaotic, and where could they resist the rush of Lu Lingqi's iron horse? So not long after the two sides fought, the battle became that Lu Lingqi was leading the crowd to chase and kill, and the Karasuma rangers were desperately fleeing.

By the way, the army in Yizhou was basically taught by Gao Shun earlier, and Gao Shun followed Lu Bu in his early years, and although he was good at the heavy infantry tactics of "trapping the camp", he also had a lot of experience in cavalry tactics. Later, the military department of Yizhou Academy was officially established, and Lu Ren asked Gao Shun to serve as a guest lecturer...... It means that when I have time, I will give lectures to the students and leave some materials or something. For such a request, of course, Gao Shun will agree.

In addition, Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's daughter, what does she want to ask Gao Shun for advice, and where will Gao Shun not teach Lu Lingqi? Therefore, Murong Ziying's cavalry training came out of Gao Shun, and Lu Lingqi's skills in leading the cavalry were also obtained from Gao Shun, and now Lu Lingqi is commanding the cavalry from the same system, and there is no problem at all in terms of compatibility.

Now Lu Lingqi is chasing the Karasuma Ranger, and he is not directly chasing in the rear, because Lu Lingqi knows that chasing in the rear, it is easy to be taken advantage of the back shot on the horse that Karasuma Huqi is good at. Therefore, after an order was given, the two thousand Yizhou iron cavalry were divided into two wings, one left and one right, chasing behind Hu Cai's flank. And from these two angles, the power of the arrows shot by Hu Qi when he fled will drop a lot, and the accuracy will also be greatly deviated, so the threat to Lu Lingqi and them will be much smaller.

And among the two wings, the right flank has more troops. Because people generally bow and right on the left side, it will be more convenient to shoot at the left wing, but it will be very troublesome to shoot at the right wing, and it is not convenient to shoot with backhands and feet. Without further ado, let's just say that as soon as the Karasuma rangers saw such a situation, they immediately understood that they had encountered a master of cavalry warfare, and they had no advantage at all.

Finally, the mountain crossing when Karasuma Rider came into their sight, and the remnants of Karasuma Rider finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because as long as they enter this mountain pass, the narrow terrain will make it impossible for Lu Lingqi to give full play to the current cavalry advantage, and the brisk riding of Karasuma is also convenient for them to hide and escape.

It's just that just when the first hundred or so riders of the Karasuma Ranger had just entered the mountain pass, arrows suddenly flew in two strokes, and then some chaotic stones and rolling logs fell down. The Karasuma Ranger was terrified, but saw beams of flashlight lights on both sides. And what does the light of these flashlights mean? It was the Han soldiers who had already set up an ambush in the mountain road!

The next moment, the two sides of the mountain road were killed, and how dare the Karasuma ranger dare to re-enter the mountain road when he saw this? Fang wanted to turn the horse's head and find a way to slip away, but Lu Lingqi's pursuers had already chased closer. There's nothing more to say, let's kill.

The mountain crossing here has been completely one-sided slaughter, and there are not many Karasuma rangers who fled here, and they were killed by Lu Lingqi in just ten minutes, and only a few luckier Karasuma rangers fled elsewhere. Lu Lingqi no longer pursued and killed excessively, and after ordering the troops to clean up the battlefield, people came to the crossing and shouted: "Is it Ziying?" Come out. ”

In the light, Murong Ziying came out of the mountain with more than 100 men and horses, and said with a smile as soon as she met Lu Lingqi: "Sister Ling, I will help you block the retreat of Karasuma Rangers, and you can score some military merits for me when you turn around." ”

Lu Lingqi smiled: "It's easy to say." Hey Ziying, when did you get here to set up an ambush? ”

In fact, it didn't take long for Murong Ziying to arrive here with more than 100 horses, really speaking, Murong Ziying didn't even have much preparation for stones, rolling wood, or anything here, if those Karasuma rangers rushed into the mountain road with an iron heart, they could completely rush into the mountain and escape with their lives. It's just that in the previous two battles, the Karasuma rangers were already frightened, and when they saw an ambush at the crossing, where did they still have the heart to think about how many there would be?

As for Murong Ziying, it was after he learned that Lu Lingqi and Karasuma Rangers had fought by Tian Chou's side, and he was worried that these brisk Karasuma Riders would flee back to the gate by the same route. And what kind of person is Tian Chou? This person is quite familiar with the geographical environment of Youbeiping, so he suggested that Murong Ziying hurriedly bring more than 100 people to ride the captured war horses, take a shortcut, and rush to the crossing while Lu Lingqi and Karasuma Ranger were fighting, and prepare some stones, rolling wood or something to set up an ambush.

Of course, to be precise, these more than 100 riders were mainly to scare the Karasuma rangers and make them dare not enter the mountain. However, the infantry crossbows carried by these 100 or so people have a strong rapid-fire ability, and the use of arrow magazines makes the replacement of arrows extremely fast, so once the 100 or so people release their arrows with all their strength, in the eyes of Hu Cai, I am afraid that there is no difference between more than 1,000 people. And if there are thousands of people in ambush in the road, then how many of them will die if they don't rush into the mountain road?

Lu Lingqi's war here has basically ended, clean up the battlefield on the spot and then camp to rest. On the other side, Tian Chou sent a deputy general and led 2,000 infantry to take advantage of the night to slowly lean towards Lu Lingqi. It's just that these 2,000 people did not come to support in the past, but like a big broom, they swept all the spoils on the road into the pockets of the Yizhou Corps. Two thousand Karasuma light horses, after the battle, no matter how you say it, you can collect seven or eight hundred northern war horses, right? This thing, Tian Chou really needs......

――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying were returning from the village, and Tian Chou had already rushed to them with dozens of horses. After saying a few words, what Lu Lingqi said made Tian Chou and Murong Ziying puzzled: "Miss Lu, what do you mean by this?" The war situation at Juyong Pass is tight, why don't we go to the aid of Juyong? ”

How could there be no unwillingness on Lu Lingqi's face? But unwilling to return, Lu Lingqi still explained to the two: "What are we going to Juyongguan for? Since the Karasuma Huqi on the road between Jixian and Juyong Pass has been killed, the reinforcements from Jixian County are moving faster, and they can arrive at Juyong Zhutian Yu to guard the pass tonight. In addition, I calculated the itinerary, and the reinforcements from Nanpi would arrive in three days. In this way, the number of Juyong defenders can reach 30,000, and there is no need for our thousands of people to go to the pass to help in the battle. ”

Murong Ziying hesitated: "But ......"

Lu Lingqi said helplessly: "I know that you really want to go into battle to fight, but I actually want to fight in front of the battle more than you." However, Uncle Lu repeatedly warned me that Jixian and Juyongguan were the lands of Duke Wei, and the generals of Cao Yingzhu were also very protective of our children in Yizhou. Although we are reinforcements this time, after all, we have different lords, different people's hearts, and different orders, and if the soldiers and horses of the brigade are crowded together, it is easy to cause trouble. In contrast, we avoid the same place with Cao Bing and block this mountain crossing, one can become a reinforcement, and after Karasuma will not send light cavalry to invade Juyong, and the other can also avoid those unnecessary troubles with Cao Bing. Anyway, our brigade is here, less than a day away from Juyong, if the battle situation in Juyong is really tight, Tian Yu will naturally send someone to invite, and it will not be too late for us to rush to Juyong to help in the war. ”

Tian Chou and Murong Ziying both frowned. There is no battle to fight, of course Murong Ziying is unwilling in her heart, but fortunately, Murong Ziying will not insist on violating the general's order, especially Lu Ren's repeated warnings, Murong Ziying does not dare to go against Lu Ren's will, so she can endure it.

As for Tian Chou...... Tian Chou is an old fritter, and he knows better than these two things what kind of position he is in. Some things are almost done, and if you go too far, you don't know what's going to happen. Well, the struggle between factions is like this, aren't Lao Cao and Lu Ren two factions? And Tian Chou was the one who was sandwiched between these two factions, and he actually had more concerns than Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying.

However, at this time, Lu Lingqi saw the expressions of the two, and suddenly smiled very sinisterly. Tian Chou had been in Yizhou for a while, and he was an acquaintance but not a familiar acquaintance with Lu Lingqi, but Murong Ziying had been in Yizhou for several years, and he was the younger brother of Zhengtai in front of Sister Lu Yu, and when he saw Lu Lingqi's sinister smile, he knew that the matter was not over, so he immediately asked in a thought: "Sister Ling, what do you mean?" ”

Lu Lingqi had already been blackened by Lu Ren, and at this time, he smiled treacherously: "Generally speaking, other reinforcements like us, only if they go into battle to help people work hard, they will get some bad benefits after the battle, and we will definitely not do this kind of loss-making business." Anyway, the road to Jixian County has been opened, Lao Cao's own reinforcements will not be able to reach Juyong in a few days, Juyong's battle situation will not be so tight, and the overall situation of victory and defeat is already worry-free, then we must seize the opportunity to get more benefits for us to go back. ”

Murong Ziyingqi said: "Then how to get this benefit?" What's the catch? ”

Lu Lingqi had another sinister smile with a black belly, but this smile made Murong Ziying and Tian Chou both feel tight. This smiling face, they are all too familiar...... (To be continued.) )
