On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

The sky is white, and a ray of morning light cuts through the layers of fog to bring a ray of light to the earth, opening the prelude to the struggle against the bitter cold.

Then the sun rose in the east, and the bright rainbow crossed the sky, forcing the morning fog to retreat and the severe cold to be frustrated.

The warm sun triumphed, lighting up the entire sky, and the warmth sprinkled the world.

The sun is in the sky, and the sky is beautiful.

Outside Hangu Pass, the ice and snow melted, and everything recovered.

The thatch shows its sharp corners, and the young leaves are covered with dewdrops, exuding a faint fragrance.

What a vibrant scene!

"Da-da-boom!"

On the Loudi Plain, the war horses neighed, and the earth roared.

To the east, with their backs to the sun, the Allied forces opened wide open.

A column of Allied soldiers in iron armor stepped out of the gate and stopped in formation on the wasteland ten miles away, forming six "infantry phalanxes"; Magnificent.

A team of prancing horses galloped, stepping the young green of the newly emerging horses into the soil again, and lined up on the two wings of the wasteland to form a "goose-shaped array" with two wings flying together; Warhorses are dominant.

Tens of thousands of shield soldiers walked to the front with neat steps, and the battle shield stomped on the ground, and the spears were placed on the shields, forming the "Xuan Turtle Gathering Spirit Array"; Majestic and majestic.

As many as 30,000 archers followed closely behind the giant shield soldiers, mounted their bows and prepared to attack, forming a "long snake formation" in front of the Chinese army; Eyeing.

Immediately afterward, the bulky and huge bed crossbow and chariot slowly drove towards the wasteland; Catapults followed closely behind, standing in the rear of the Allied forces five miles from the Yuanmen. Like a towering iron tower, it can be used as a strong barrier to defend the city. This is the giant "Vientiane Array"; Immovable as a mountain.

Look down on the earth. However, seeing that the layout of the allied forces is: the giant shield Xuangui formation is in front, the bow and crossbow long snake formation is waiting for the opportunity to move after the Xuangui, the infantry phalanx is in the center, the war cavalry goose-shaped formation is arching and guarding the two wings, and the Vientiane array composed of heavy ordnance is pressed behind the palace; The battle array composed of more than 300,000 allied troops was huge, like a nine-day roc ready to fly, and its momentum was majestic. The military is like a prison, shocking.

It can be seen from this that the person who led the Allied army's arrangement this time was well versed in the art of war. Well-laid out, with both offensive and defensive layouts, the Allies were invincible before the war began.

――――――

"Squeak squeak - squeak squeak!"

Just as the allied forces of the princes walked out of Dazhai and lined up on the Loudi Plain, they only heard a sharp and high-pitched "clang" loud sound from Hangu Pass. Then there was a rumbling sound of horses. The sound of horses' hooves mingled together, forming a loud "boom" that shook the world.

Immediately, seeing hundreds of thousands of Xiliang war horses rushing out of the pass, countless spears, halberds and swords were shining in the bright sun, and thousands of banners were unfurled in the wind, jumping up to Loudiyuan at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to see, and appeared in front of the allies.

The first team of horsemen to appear in front of the Allied formation was the Blue Dragon Battalion. It was a lightly armed cavalry with 20,000 troops. Its main general, Guo Yan, stayed in Liangzhou, and this time the deputy commander Pang De and Cheng Gongying led the troops to the expedition.

Under the warm sun. But seeing the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion prancing on their horses and galloping, the allied soldiers only saw a blurred figure with gold trim coming straight towards them, and when they really saw the formation of this cavalry clearly, the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion had already stopped and lined up. This scene made the Allied soldiers frightened, and the distance of more than ten miles at the foot of the Qinglong camp passed in a moment, this is the real immobility like a mountain, moving like lightning and thunder, thunder and thunder.

The second team of Xiliang light cavalry out of the customs is the Shuofeng battalion, and its main general is the Southern Xiongnu general Qubei, and now he is Li Li's eldest brother, and he has been included in the list of trusted generals. There are 20,000 cavalry in the Shuofeng battalion, and all the soldiers are the commanders of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, although they are reorganized and reorganized, and they are newly formed cavalry battalions, but the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is definitely not weak. Its actual combat power is much better than that of other cavalry battalions of the Xiliang Army, especially when fighting a tailwind battle, they are as powerful as tigers, and they are not afraid of death; On the contrary, it is a different matter, which still needs to be honed.

The third team rode out of the war cavalry battalion was the Flying Bear Battalion. This is the only heavy cavalry of the Xiliang Army at present, and the original establishment was 20,000 people, but in fact this is a huge cavalry battalion with 20,000 heavy armored cavalry and 25,000 light cavalry. Its main general is known as the first general of the Xiliang Army, the "Flying Tiger General Huan Fei", and the deputy generals Dong Yue and Huang Lie, these two may not be well-known among the princes and allies, but they are indeed known for their bravery in the Xiliang Army. Otherwise, with Huan Fei's domineering and arrogant character, he categorically couldn't tolerate the soft egg cowardly being his deputy general, and he would have been beaten away a long time ago.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Allied soldiers, the Flying Bear Heavy Cavalry rode out of the city gate, stepped on the Loudi Plain without hurry, and stopped in the middle of the Qinglong Camp and the Shuofeng Camp. And its commander Huan Fei stood at the front on the Golden Lion Beast, squinting his eyes and staring coldly at the Allied formation five hundred paces away, grinning at the corners of his mouth showing disdain, and the provocation was very strong.

The fourth team of war horses out of the customs was Li Li's starting unit - Longxiang Battalion. This cavalry is known as the most effective lightly armed cavalry in the Xiliang Army, and it is also the earliest cavalry battalion formed under Li Li's command, and it has always been led by Li Li's henchmen and generals. The Longxiang battalion was full of 30,000 people, and the main general was originally Ma Chao, but now it was temporarily replaced by the tiger general Dian Wei to take over as the main general, and the deputy generals were Li Li's generals Li Zheng and Meng Chong.

When the fifth team rode out of the pass, a huge battle flag was the first to cross the city gate and appear in the sight of the allies. But seeing that the length and width of this battle flag are equal, about nine feet or so, the special Shu brocade is embroidered with two colors, golden and dark, and the battle flag is embroidered with a golden beast, and the huge lion head is also embroidered with a king pattern; The soldiers of the two armies are no strangers to this pattern, and they are definitely familiar, this is Li Li's mount, the Golden Lion Beast King. This banner is also embroidered with the word "Li" as big as a water tank, the word Li is above the pattern of the Golden Lion Beast King, and there is a line of black characters with gold edges at the top of the battle flag, and the book "Han Hussar General" is coherent.

It goes without saying that this fifth war horse is Li Li's personal guard Jin Yiwei. This pro-soldier guard originally had 30,000 people, but after the Northern Expedition and the bloody battle of Feiyundu, there are now only more than 10,000 people left. However, at this moment, it was the appearance of these more than 10,000 Jin Qiwei in front of the allies, which made them change color and exclaim, and their deterrent power was far greater than that of the first four teams of Xiliang cavalry who had gone out of the customs before.

This is the powerful war horse that is famous for the Allied soldiers, and the brilliant achievements it has set are too numerous to mention, not to mention for the time being, the recent achievements alone are enough for the Allied forces to be afraid. In the battle of the Northern Expedition, Jin Yiwei bore the brunt of the battle, acting as the vanguard battalion of the Xiliang Army, shaking more than 100,000 barbarian troops head-on and winning the battle, and then leveling the barbarian army camp in one fell swoop; In the battle of the Green Wolf Valley, Jin Yiwei and the Tiger Ben Battalion defeated more than twice the barbarian cavalry, killing the barbarian army without leaving a single piece of armor, and annihilating the 110,000 barbarian army in one fell swoop.

If these are just rumors and not believable, then Feiyundu fought a bloody battle all night, and Jin Yiwei sniped Cao Cao's 60,000 horsemen head-on, but no one can deny the fact. In the first battle of Feiyundu, the princes and allies did not remember the names of the other soldiers and horses participating in the Xiliang Army, but they only remembered Jin Yiwei deeply, because it was this cavalry that blocked Cao Cao's 60,000 army in Feiyundu and could not break through, and then was completely annihilated by the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop.

Overnight, 60,000 Cao soldiers were killed, captured prisoners, and only more than 3,000 escaped alive to the Allied camp after the war. This is a bloody fact, Cao Cao has fallen to this point, all thanks to Jin Yiwei.

As the cavalry of the Jin Yi Guard walked out of the city gate under Li Li's handsome banner, tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the allied army involuntarily looked for Li Li in the Jin Yi Guard. Because in the eyes of the allied soldiers, this banner is the big banner of the Xiliang Army, and under the big banner is definitely where Li Li is located.

Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong. It is true that this banner is the great banner of the Xiliang Army, but Li Li did not follow Jin Yiwei out of the pass, or it is not the time for the commanders of the two armies to appear in front of the formation. Because Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes' alliance, has not yet appeared, and he has not come out, how could Li Li be impatient to leap out of the city?

Don't underestimate this small detail, it seems to be insignificant, but in fact it is a mystery. This is a silent psychological contest, before the battle formation is completed, the two coaches who show up first means that their minds are not tenacious enough, and rushing to go out of the battle is equivalent to the desire to win, and the desire to win is a taboo for soldiers.

After the fifth team of Xiliang cavalry, there was a heavy armored infantry, which was a trapped-up camp that had been trained in actual combat for two years. In the three-month siege battle before this, the defenders who guarded the gate of Hangu Pass and gave all the siege soldiers and horses a head start were the trapped camp in front of them.

After three months of fighting to defend the city, only 5,000 heavy infantry and 3,000 light infantry remained in the trapped camp. At this time, the people at the forefront of the trapping camp were the main generals "Trap General Gao Shun" and "Shuangyue Warrior Hu Zheng", which was the name given by the two Allied soldiers, not an official position. In addition, there is also a mighty general beside the two of them, this is Gan Ning Gan Xingba, who recently joined the Xiliang Army and escaped death.

After falling into the camp, there were 10,000 bow and crossbow battalions led by Cao Xing, 20,000 infantry troops led by Bo Cai and 5,000 crossbows led by Tie Xiao, in addition to 300 catapult arrays, 500 two-horse chariots and more than 100 charging chariot formations, totaling less than 50,000 infantry troops.

It is worth mentioning that there are fewer generals in the Xiliang Army in the decisive battle, among which the representative figures are Teng Xiao, the commander of the Wuwei Battalion, and Ma Chao, the commander of the Longxiang Battalion. At the same time, the two cavalry of the Wuwei Battalion and the Wushuang Iron Cavalry also disappeared without a trace, and did not appear in front of the Allied formation. Otherwise, the Xiliang cavalry will be as many as 150,000, and the total strength will be as high as 200,000, but now the Xiliang army in front of the Allied army is less than 170,000 foot cavalry, and if the heavy equipment infantry is removed, it is exactly half of the allied army.
