Chapter 201: The First Battle against Lu Bu

Sun Jian held a big knife and fought in the chaotic army, and there were soldiers and horses in Xiliang and Guanzhong everywhere!

He was calculated by Xu Rong and besieged by the generals of Xiliang. Lu Bu attacked from the rear, and the thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong was already ready to go!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the heavy cavalry in Liangzhou in "Lord", which is the elite of the Liangzhou cavalry, and even some generals are equipped with Liangzhou horses that Chutian has seen in Luoyang Horse City!

Hua Xiong was dressed in heavy cavalry armor and held his broadsword high: "Let the young people in the Kanto region see the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and all the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy general Sun Jian!" ”

A thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry put down their spears, and the neat spears pointed directly at Sun Jian's army, which was fighting against Xu Rong.

"Kill!"

Hua Xiong roared, and a thousand Xiliang Iron Riders clamped the horse's belly and launched an impact!

The ground is shaking, and the shock cavalry is used for the decisive victory!

Sun Jian's army was not easy to defeat, even if Xu Rong and Lu Bu had the advantage, they would not be able to defeat Sun Jian for a while.

Hua Xiong, who temporarily commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, galloped over!

The Changsha soldiers recruited by Sun Jian from Changsha County felt that the ground was shaking, and looked around uneasily, only to see a heavy cavalry wearing sleeve armor and armor skirts entering the charging state!

At this time, Sun Jian's army, which was pinned down by Xu Rong and Lu Bu, was unable to change formation, and some archers tried to use the rain of arrows fired flat to block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The sharp arrows that were shot hit the cuirass of the war horse, grazed against the iron plates, and sporadic sparks flew but were bounced off by the cuirassal.

The arrows shot by the low-level archers looked weak in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

"Shield-spearmen array!"

Cheng Pu realized what it meant to be chiseled through the large array by heavy cavalry, and did his best to maintain the formation.

The shield spearmen were assembled, and before they had time to build a phalanx of spears with more than six platoons, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already crashed into the army!

The infantry archers in the front row were knocked down, and the iron hooves were raised high and trampled down!

Hua Xiong wielded a big knife, slashed down the foot archers along the way, and killed Cheng Pu directly! Cheng Pu blocked Hua Xiong's broadsword with an iron spine snake spear, and the impact bonus brought by the heavy cavalry made the iron spear in Cheng Pu's hand almost get out of his hand!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is indomitable, Cheng Pu and his personal soldiers are encircled by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they are in danger of dying at any time!

As a high-level heavy cavalry, even historical generals have a high probability of being killed by pigs!

Cheng Pu was submerged in the steel torrent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and hundreds of personal soldiers around him were washed away, and he was in danger!

Huang Gai and Han Dang risked their lives to save Cheng Pu, killed two Xiliang Iron Riders, and saved Cheng Pu!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is still rushing forward, and it has already cut through Sun Jian's army!

Hua Xiong personally slashed more than 20 people in one charge, and the big sword and armor were stained red with blood, and the momentum was even worse!

After the Xiliang Iron Cavalry cut through Sun Jian's army, it regrouped and adjusted its formation, preparing to attack again.

Zu Mao protected Sun Jian: "Lord, we have too few soldiers and horses, and the other party has Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is better to temporarily retreat and join up with the reinforcements in the rear!" ”

Sun Jian rode a war horse, killed several Xiliang cavalry, blood stained red armor, the morale of his army was greatly reduced because of the ambush and the heavy cavalry impact of the Xiliang iron cavalry, and he was on the verge of collapse at any time, and if he continued to fight, he would only sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain.

The army lacking morale, tens of thousands of people, may be chased by dozens of enemy people.

"Withdraw!"

Although unwilling, Sun Jian and his princes could not resist the three tiger generals of Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong, and fought and retreated with the remnants of the army.

The ground trembled again, and the heavy cavalry led by Hua Xiong turned their horses' heads, adjusted slightly, found a good direction, and carried out a second heavy cavalry assault on the retreating Sun Jian's army!

Sun Jian's army in retreat was even more unable to organize an effective defense, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry once again chiseled through the army!

"Where is Sun Jian?!"

The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou was in hot pursuit, and a general who was more ferocious than Huaxiong led the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou to attack Sun Jian, and also killed and injured countless people. Fang Tian painted the halberd to slash the foot archers along the way!

The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou was delaying the speed of Sun Jian's withdrawal, Huaxiong's Xiliang iron cavalry continued to break the formation, and Xu Rong's Liangzhou light cavalry army was about to catch up, and the situation of Sun Jian and the four generals of Jiangdong was very dangerous.

Sun Jian faced not only the other party's famous generals, but also the special arms Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Dong Zhuo looked up to Sun Jian very much, and was also very afraid of him, so he directly invested in three powerful generals, and handed over a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to Hua Xiong to command to defeat Sun Jian.

"Those who capture Sun Jian alive will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 10 good horses!"

Xu Rong commanded and sent two cavalry to make a detour left and right, to surround Sun Jian and completely destroy Sun Jian's army!

Sun Jian did not have many soldiers and horses, only 15,000 people, Xu Rong deployed 70,000 troops in Xingyang, of which 30,000 were cavalry, no matter what, he had to eat Sun Jian's army that went deep into the enemy's territory!

"Sun Jian can hold on until now, he is already a strong enemy, and we can't let him leave, otherwise we will have endless troubles."

Xu Rong knew that the reason for Sun Jian's defeat was only the difference in the number of troops on both sides. Sun Jian only had 15,000 soldiers, most of whom were Jingnan soldiers recruited from Changsha County, and lacked cavalry, which also accounted for a numerical disadvantage. If the forces of both sides were the same, Xu Rong might not have defeated Sun Jian.

It is this that makes Xu Rong jealous of Sun Jian.

"Sun Jian's head, I, Lu Fengxian, accepted it!"

Lu Bu has just taken refuge in Dong Zhuo, and he needs to make military exploits and capture Sun Jian alive, which is a good opportunity to prove himself to his father-in-law!

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to rush left and right among the recruits in Changsha County, and the rout along the way was unstoppable!

Sun Jian saw a military general holding Fang Tian's halberd coming, and slashed at Lu Bu with a knife!

Fang Tian's halberd collided with his ancient ingot knife, and Sun Jian's mouth was numb: "What a lot of strength!" ”

"Lord, I'll wait for help!"

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao joined forces to fight with Lu Bu on horseback, but due to the small space, at most two or three people at a time could really assassinate Lu Bu in close quarters.

And behind Lu Bu, there was also the Bingzhou wolf rider who was recruited by Lu Bu with great difficulty, and all of them became Lu Bu's subordinates at this time.

Several fierce generals followed Lu Bu on horseback, intercepting and killing the four generals of Jiangdong, one of the generals held the crescent halberd in both hands, and swept the Quartet, second only to Lu Bu in force!

The fourth general of Jiangdong may not be enough to see in front of Lu Bu's subordinates!

Lu Bu attacked fiercely, Sun Jian was defeated, and the situation was very bad.

If this continues, Sun Jian will be wiped out!

An arrow came and was split by Lu Bu with Fang Tian's halberd!

It was also a Fang Tian painting halberd, forcing Lu Bu to return to defense, and Sun Jian was able to escape!

"Who are you?!"

Seeing that the captives who were about to arrive wanted to escape, Lu Bu was furious and poured his anger on the white-robed young general who had been killed.

The other party also uses Fang Tian's halberd, and the force is not weak!

Xue Rengui is still in the growth period, and he is at a loss in the face of Lu Bu at his peak.

"Since you can't catch Sun Jian, then I will arrest you to receive merit!"

When Lu Bu was about to deal with Xue Rengui with all his might, another silver-robed young general came to kill, and the red tassel spear stabbed at Lu Bu!

Lu Bu faced the attack of two white-robed young generals at the same time, but it was a little difficult to bear. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had a slight friendship during this time, and they joined forces together, and their power soared!

Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu was flanked by two white-robed young generals, and took the initiative to come to support Lu Bu with a halberd.

Lu Bu, who was supported by Zhang Liao, was not afraid and wanted to defeat the two white-robed young generals with the strength of one person.

A sharp arrow was fired, and Xue Rengui's Tang archers played an important role in the rear, shooting and wounding the wolf cavalry.

"The lord has an order, you can't be greedy for war, as long as you save Changsha Taishou!"

Xue Rengui originally intended to join forces with Zhao Yun to fight against Lu Bu, but he caught a glimpse of Xu Rong driving the army to kill, if he didn't retreat, he was afraid that he would fall into the enemy's thousands of troops with Zhao Yun.

Even if they are 10,000 enemies, they dare not say that they can survive in thousands of troops and horses, not to mention that there are generals such as Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, etc., as well as high-level cavalry such as Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

"Don't want to go!"

Lu Bu grabbed Xue Rengui and tried to kill this young general who used the same weapon as him. Otherwise, once Xue Rengui grows up, it may affect his status in the future.

The Tang Archer cavalry did not hesitate to exhaust the sharp arrows in the quiver and shot the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the Xiliang cavalry in the rear.

After Hua Xiong led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to penetrate Sun Jian's army for the second time, it would take time to reorganize the formation, and there was no threat to Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun for the time being.

The biggest threat is still Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the main force of the Xiliang light cavalry commanded by Xu Rong, once the light cavalry bites, it is difficult to get out.

Just when Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were in a bitter battle, Sun Jian, as a Jiangdong Tiger, counterattacked with a small number of Jingnan cavalry!

The sand and dust were rolling, and Hua Mulan, who appeared, joined forces with Xiahou Yuan, the cavalry general who came to support, and attacked the cavalry flanks of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao on the left and right!

Whether it is Hua Mulan or Xiahou Yuan, they can increase the speed of the cavalry, although the effect is not obvious in peacetime, but in the battlefield where rapid maneuver and reaction are required, they can play a vital role!

The two light cavalry in a roundabout way put pressure on LΓΌ Bu's wings, and the morale of the wolf cavalry was demoralized.

"General, don't chase deeply!"

Zhang Liao spoke out to stop Lu Bu, who still wanted to chase Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Sun Jian, worried that the cavalry on the left and right flanks would fall into a counter-encirclement because they could not block the flanking attacks of Hua Mulan and Xiahou Yuan.

Hua Mulan and Xiahou Yuan's light cavalry did not easily assault the high-level Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but only used bows and arrows to shoot on the periphery, and only then did they evacuate when they saw Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun rescue Sun Jian and the four generals of Jiangdong.

It's not that Hua Mulan and Xiahou Yuan don't want to take the opportunity to destroy Lu Bu, but that Xu Rong's more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in the rear are gradually coming, and Lu Bu's wolf cavalry will not be able to take it for a while and a half, and attacking Lu Bu with all their strength will only lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already reorganized the formation, and he planned to organize a third charge, but found that Hua Mulan and Xiahou Yuan had succeeded, but they quickly retreated.

The impact of the light cavalry was not as strong as that of the heavy cavalry, but the mobility was very strong, and Hua Xiong did not even have a chance to compete with the opponent's light cavalry, and the other party retreated.

Hua Mulan and Xiahou Yuan would not use ordinary light cavalry to confront Huaxiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Charge the heavy cavalry with light cavalry, unless the commander's brain is short-circuited, or there is really no way to retreat.

"There is no shortage of excellent cavalry generals in the Kwantung region."

Xu Rong's army arrived, sweeping the battlefield and indulging the soldiers to loot the spoils of war in order to maintain high morale.

Unless you are a strict general, looting the spoils of war is always one of the ways to effectively boost the morale of your troops.

Xu Rong realized that the quality of the generals of the Kanto group was amazing.

There are more than ten Kwantung generals who only appeared in Xingyang!

Whether it is Dong Zhuo's camp or the Kanto group's camp, the fierce generals are like clouds!

"Thanks to your reinforcements this time, otherwise I might have been captured by Lu Bu."

Sun Jian was defeated with fewer blows and more defeats, thanked the four generals who came to support, and at the same time saw that the elite Tang archers just now used cavalry to shoot a small number of wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, and couldn't help but praise secretly.

Few hussars dared to use mounted fire provocation and state wolf cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan participated in supporting Sun Jian, witnessed the demeanor of the two white-robed young generals of Langya Kingdom, and wrote down the names of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, maybe there will be a battle in the future.

Sun Jian counted the soldiers and horses, and there were originally 15,000 people, but there were less than 5,000 people still following Sun Jian. Some of the soldiers and horses were killed by the Xiliang Army, and some of the soldiers and horses were scattered when they were ambushed by Xu Rong, and they will return one after another. But with Sun Jian's ability, the loss of two-thirds after a battle is too tragic.

When the princes heard that Sun Jian, who was the vanguard, was defeated, the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty panicked, and the princes of the alien people had long known that the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army were sharp, and now whoever took the initiative to go up would be sent to death. Unless all the princes arrived one after another, it would be possible to fight the Xiliang Iron Cavalry head-on.

Chu Tian, Cao Cao and Sun Jian converged, camped along Bianshui, confronted Xu Rong, and waited for the other princes to come, not acting rashly.

Chu Tian didn't dare to say that he could block the pig tutu of Xiliang Tie riding in the plains.

Even if Chu Tian had a heavy cavalry in his hands, it was a low-level heavy cavalry, and the number was only three hundred, which could not be compared with the thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a high-level heavy cavalry.

Chu Tian also learned from the battle here that Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou Yuan had the ability to lead light cavalry to attack from afar.

Cao Cao learned that Chu Tian's two white-robed young generals were extremely powerful.

The fact that two people join forces now does not mean that they will not part ways in the future.

Sun Jian gathered the routed troops and gained another 2,000 soldiers.

Other princes from all walks of life came one after another, and they already knew about Sun Jian's defeat, so they were cautious and formed a siege of Xingyang.

Xu Rong and other generals saw the arrival of various princes one after another, and knew that even if they defeated Sun Jian's small number of troops, it would still be a drop in the bucket for the huge Kwantung princes. So they retreated to camp under the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Tiger Prison Pass was the horn of each other.

The Kwantung coalition army wanted to capture the Tiger Pass, and also defeated the Xiliang army stationed under the Tiger Pass.

As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao took the lead in asking: "Who can break the Xiliang Iron Horse in the plain?" ”

Many princes looked at each other, and none of them thought that the troops in their hands could block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was a heavy cavalry.

Chu Tian thought that he also lacked a heavy armored force under his command to resist the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"No, the use of the Castle Castle tactics might work wonders."

Chu Tian thought that he had brought twelve double-bow bed crossbows, as long as the other princes could piece together similar bed crossbows, then they could use the carriage and bed crossbows and bows to build a chariot fort to block the impact of the heavy cavalry.
