Chapter 214 Liangzhou Iron Cavalry vs. Eighteen Princes
Li Quei led 50,000 troops to guard Hulao Pass, and there were only more than 30,000 real infantry and knights, and the remaining more than 10,000 were the logistics of civilians.
Yuan Shu’s 100,000 people also boasted, but in fact it was less than 80,000, of which more than 20,000 were civilians’ logistics.
Simply put, the one who really decides the outcome is 30,000 Liangzhou infantry and cavalry, facing nearly 60,000 coalition forces.
Although the troops were twice as bad as Li Qie was not afraid. As soon as Yuan Shu set up a formation, a group of Liangzhou generals rushed out of the pass.
Niu Fu's personal guard captain Hu Chier came out with a red hair, and immediately rushed to war with a spear.
"Southern barbarians, can anyone dare to fight Grandpa Hu?"
The Liangzhou horse thieves screamed and their morale was overwhelming.
Yuan Shu was so arrogant that he could not bear the bird's energy. He immediately asked: "Which hero is the one who takes the thief's head for someone?"
As soon as this statement was made, the seventeen princes of Liu Biao, Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Zhang Lu, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Kong Yi, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, and the seventeen princes of Hu Wuban looked at each other.
It is said that the Eighteen Princes meet together, but in fact they are divided into different sizes.
Yuan Shu, Zhu Jun, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shao are powerful factions, and powerful generals and elite soldiers occupy more than half.
The others are all about soy sauce, such as the Yanzhou Governor Hu Wuban, who had the least crowded, only brought five hundred county soldiers to wear a storefront.
Needless to say, the Central Xiyuan Army is arrogant and will not go out in a hurry to fight.
Liu Biao was a famous scholar. Although there were many people, a gentleman did not speak.
Therefore, Cao, Sun and Yuan and others must have someone to help Yuan Shu support the scene, which is a hidden rule.
Lao Cao was a man of culture and martial arts and then moved. Although Lao Sun was a fierce man, he now took the path of despicable development.
Therefore, despite his reluctance, Yuan Shao could only be the first to be the first.
"At a certain lieutenant, two generals Yan Wen can kill this thief!"
The lord named him, and Wen Chou came out to receive the order.
Although Yuan Shu was disgusted with the little maid, he could not be too overestimated in his face.
"Good tiger general! Give wine!"
An authentic red sorghum wine was served immediately. Wen Chou picked it up and drank it all, and with the help of the wine, he smashed the wine cup.
"Thank you the leader of the alliance to give him wine, and wait until the end will capture and kill this thief!"
He rode his horse straight to Hu Chier in the field.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both Yuan Shao's hard-core confidant generals, and they are comparable to Xu Huang and Cao Hong.
Wen Chou was the best at shooting, so he took out a three-stone iron bow and put it on the string until it reached seventy steps, and fired three arrows in a row.
However, Liangzhou horse thieves are the most skilled in bows and horses, and they are even more familiar with crossbows.
Hu Chier was very clear-headed and had a clear-eyed eye. She held her gun and slapped an arrow, and she lowered her head and looked down, so she easily avoided two arrows.
The two of them only had thirty steps.
Seeing that the other party was not a good person, Wen Chou immediately put away his bow, took off his spear and stabbed Hu Chier.
Hu Chier was also a good player in gun play. She cheered up and slapped her horse to meet her. The two rode alone to fight together.
After two or three rounds, Wen Chou felt that Hu Chier was too slippery and immediately turned around and moved, making it extremely difficult to lock in.
Hu Chier had already tested Wen Chou's weight and decided to take a risk to end the battle.
As the two intersected again, Hu Chier suddenly rose into the air and jumped towards Wen Chou.
Wen Chou glanced at the corner of his eyes and felt a big deal in his heart. He subconsciously turned around and watched.
But Hu Chier in the air saw a spear in her hand "strike Huashan" with a spear, and smashed Wen Chou's helmet with the sound of wind.
With his instinct to survive, Wen Chou tilted his head.
"Bang!"
Wen Chou was hit hard on his left shoulder. In the severe pain, his body tilted and he fell down.
What's even more tragic is that his left foot was stuck in the stirrup, and his whole back was dragged by a war horse, and his pain continued to cry.
Hu Chi'er succeeded in a blow, landed steadily, blew a whistle and summoned the mount, rolled over the horse, chased after a few steps, and stabbed Chinese Chou's throat with one shot.
After winning the first battle, the Liangzhou army shouted again.
"Hu Chier is mighty and Liangzhou's army is victorious!"
"Oh oh! Nanman children, vulnerable, go home and take the child!"
On the contrary, the coalition forces had a visible decrease in morale to the naked eye.
Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shao in dissatisfaction. Although he didn't say a word, the meaning was self-evident.
Yuan Shao almost spurted out an old blood, losing a general at the beginning, losing a huge loss!
Yuan Shao was defeated. As an old friend, Cao Cao could not turn a blind eye. He immediately stepped out and pointed at Hu Chier, who was showing off his might.
"I would like to take his head for the leader!"
Yuan Shu nodded, Cao Mengde was both civil and military, and should be able to be able to win wisdom.
"Okay! This thief is fierce, Meng Deduog be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, Xiahou Dun urged him to step forward.
"A young man, why do you need a lord to take action? You will return when you are about to go!"
Hu Chier had heard of Xiahou Dun. After all, Chen Cang was captured by the other party, so he left a joke about "repeating the city with one cent."
"Hey, isn't this blind man who almost died in Chen Cang, and is here to die again?"
Xiahou Dun hated others calling him blind, and did not talk nonsense, so he rushed over and stabbed him with a gun.
Hu Chier did not dare to be careless and raised his gun to greet him. After only three rounds of battle, Xiahou Dun barely wiped Hu Chier's ribs with a shot.
Hu Chier immediately broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the other party's martial arts skills were much better than her.
Thirty-six strategies are the best, and they will run away with a horse.
The slim Xiahou Dun chased after him, and at the same time, he set up a gun and drew his bow, intending to shoot the slutty red-haired ghost to death.
Hu Chi'er's soul is experiencing great danger.
Damn, if you look one by one, you don’t have to close your eyes when shooting archery, you will definitely be dead.
So while stepping on the Spurs, he flashed his body immediately.
Xiahou Dun was unmoved and Zhang Xian was waiting.
Suddenly, his fingers were loosened, and the feather arrow shot out with a roar.
"puff!"
Hu Chier only felt a severe pain in her back, so she hugged the horse's neck tightly and called for help from the formation.
"Come and help me!"
At this time, Li Qiu had already realized that the situation was wrong and sent Zhang Ji and Hu Zhen to lead troops to intercept Xiahou Dun.
If you can take advantage of this, you will make a profit.
The two sides' military formations were two hundred steps apart, and only a hundred steps were present at the scene. Li Que acted in advance and formed a left-right attack on Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun looked at the six directions and knew that if he continued chasing, he would be 80% sure to kill Hu Chier, but he would also be trapped in heavy siege.
So he turned around and retreated to the coalition forces.
Can't a one-on-one fight be a group fight?
Yuan Shu was naturally not willing to be outdone and sent Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhu Jun to meet Xiahou Dun.
As a result, two thousand Liangzhou light cavalry fell into a melee with more than three thousand coalition cavalry.
Hu Chier finally escaped back to his original battle, but Li Qi immediately asked the military doctor to treat him. Fortunately, he was not injured and pulled out an arrow to wrap his wounds and rest.
When it comes to cavalry warfare, Li Qi was not at all panicked.
Individual generals may be five or five, but when the cavalry confronts, Liangzhou horse thieves have never been afraid of anyone... The big-eared thieves use firearms and won't be able to win.
Sure enough, two thousand and three thousand were fighting, and the Liangzhou Army's cavalry and shooting had an absolute advantage.
Cao Cao Ren and Sun Jian Cheng Pu were better, but Bao Hong and Cao Hong of the Xiyuan Army were almost unable to resist and gradually retreated.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Shu sent Liu Biao, Tao Qian, and his commanded Gongsun Yue and Wang Kuang to reinforce.
When five thousand infantry and cavalry joined the battle group and surrounded the Liangzhou army, Li Que and Fan Chou each led two thousand cavalry to attack.
Yuan Shu looked at the irritated cavalry of Liangzhou, rolling in, realizing the shortcomings of his lack of cavalry.
He could only order the entire army to attack and rescue his allies.
The big melee has begun.
From morning to afternoon, it was dark and there were many casualties, but they could not do anything to each other.
The melee ended in a stalemate, and then went from stalemate to a group.
The soldiers on both sides were hungry and tired and could not fight anymore, so they automatically and tacitly opened the distance and slowly retreated.
In this battle, the Liangzhou army lost more than 2,000 cavalry and the coalition army lost 5,000 troops, which was barely considered a draw.
Chapter completed!
