Chapter 291 Hebei Four Court Pillars (1/3)

The wind and snow have stopped, and the sky and earth are white and vast.

The sun in the late winter seems to be very bright, but in fact, it exudes a deep chill. This is also the last severe winter that has raged in Jian'an for four years, but it is horrifyingly cold, so cold that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

It has to be... people can't explain it clearly, and they can't understand it.

On the official road from Puyang to Baima, a group of sergeants was marching quickly.

The hot breath exhaled from the war horse's mouth is particularly clear in the freezing temperature. The breath turned into ice does not seem to be an adjective.

Xu Huang kept urging the soldiers and horses to move faster, feeling even more restless in his heart.

Yuan Shao's army suddenly launched an attack at the end of the year, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Before, Yuan Shao stood still and even retreated hundreds of miles, which made many people think that at least before the year, Yuan Shao would not attack. Among these people, Xu Huang was also included

One... No one expected that Yuan Shao's move of retreating in order to advance actually confused many people. When everyone was unprepared, he forcibly crossed the river.

Yuan Shao's move was quite thunderous.

At least in Xu Huang's view, there was a huge change from Yuan Shao's previous behavior.

How clever!

Xu Huang couldn't help feeling sincerely, and at the same time, he felt strange. Who could come up with such a plan for Yuan Shao?

"How far is it from White Horse?"

"Go back to the general. At this speed, we can arrive at White Horse before noon."

"I don't know if Liu Taishou can hold on."

Xu Huang took a deep breath, looked back at the advancing troops and horses, and said in a deep voice: "Instruct the three armies to speed up the march and be sure to reach Baima before noon."

"Here!"

The messenger flew away, but Xu Huang felt even more uneasy in his heart.

But he couldn't explain clearly what went wrong, so he could only urge his troops to speed up their march and recapture the white horse as soon as possible.

From Puyang to Baima, you must pass through a dry river beach.

This place was named Zhao Ying because during the Warring States Period, Zhao State General Lian Po garrisoned troops.

The terrain of the river beach is flat and not very dangerous. In addition, the river bed is dry, making the wilderness with a radius of dozens of miles outside the city extremely deserted.

Zhaoying is thirty-six miles away from Baima and forty miles away from Puyang. It is located in the middle of the two places.

Arriving here, Xu Huang let out a breath and was about to give the order to speed up. Suddenly he saw a scout coming on horseback and stopped in front of him.

"General, there is a group of troops in front of us, blocking our way."

"oh?"

Xu Huang was startled and shouted in a deep voice: "Whose troops are they?"

"Looking at the flags, it looks like they are Yuan Shao's generals and Yan Liang's troops."

Yan Liang?

Xu Huang took a deep breath and looked wary.

As early as when he was serving under Yang Feng, he had heard that Yuan Shao had many powerful generals. Among them, four of them were the most prominent, named Hebei Sitingzhu. These four people were Zhang He Gaolan of Hejian and Yecheng.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Among them, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the most brave and are known as the two arms of Hebei. This means that these two people are like Yuan Shao's right-hand men and have a prominent status.

I remember that at the beginning, twenty-two princes attacked Dong Zhuo.

He was stopped by Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass and killed dozens of generals of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Yuan Shao once said: If my general, Yan Liangwen, is ugly, how can I allow Hua Xiong to be arrogant? Later, Hua Xiong was designed by Sun Jian to be executed at the pass. Sun Jian also became famous and became a leader among the princes. But also

Therefore, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu formed a grudge...

Xu Huang is a very steady person. When he heard that Yan Liang led his troops to block the way, he knew that something was wrong.

Could it be said that the white horse has been broken?

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "The three armies should stop and line up to meet the enemy."

At this time, Xu Huang could not retreat but could only move forward.

If he withdraws his troops, Yan Liang will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy... If that happens, our side will definitely be defeated. Therefore, first stabilize the position and then make plans.

Xu Huanggang ordered the formation, and Yan Liang led the troops and horses, approaching them.

Yan Liang jumped off his horse. He was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and was powerful and majestic. Under his hip was a black horse, with a big sword in his hand. He looked majestic and full of murderous intent.

The two armies lined up to confront each other. Yan Liang urged his horse and rushed out of the flag gate.

"A certain Yan Liang family, is Xu Gongming here?"

At this time, Xu Huang naturally could not show the slightest hint of timidity, so he rushed his horse to the front of the formation.

"Yan Liang, Xu Huang is here."

"Xu Gongming, I won't tell you any more nonsense. Today, my lord has sent out troops to fight against the rebellion in accordance with the emperor's order. He wants to clear the emperor's side and revitalize the court. The white horse has been captured by me now, and Liu Yan has become the soul of a certain family. If you are

Be smart and dismount immediately and surrender. I can speak kindly to you in front of the lord and guarantee you a generous salary... But if you are stubborn, then don't blame a certain family for sending you to keep Liu Yan as a companion."

Liu Yan was indeed killed!

Xu Huang's heart trembled, and he suddenly shouted, "Yan Liang, don't be so arrogant... Cao Gong obeyed the emperor's orders and disobeyed him, which is why everyone expected him to do so. Your old man, Yuan Shao, came from the family of the fourth generation and the third prince, and received great favor from the court, but he didn't know it."

Serving the imperial court and supporting the troops with self-respect is the real ***. A certain family is so favored by Duke Cao, how can they be the vicious dogs in front of Yuan Benchu? Yan Liang, wait until I kill you and take revenge with Prefect Liu."

After that, Xu Huang took off the iron rod, urged his horse and rushed towards Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was also furious, and the wheel sword came forward. Iron hoofs trampled on the river beach, causing ice chips to fly... Although they had not fought, Xu Huang sensed something was wrong as soon as the two charged. Yan Liang's man and horse became one, like a head.

It was like a tiger descending the mountain with astonishing momentum.

Momentum is particularly important in this kind of front-line confrontation.

As soon as Yan Liang's sword came out, Xu Huang knew that this guy was better than him.

However, he could not retreat, because at this time, he had no way out... If he retreated, a defeat would surely follow. All he could rely on now was the horse under his crotch. But I don't know, with Cao Ji,

Can the three treasures of the horse compete with Yan Liang? At this time, the saddle, stirrups and horseshoes presented by Cao Ji were only used in a small area. In addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Ji's trusted generals, or

Super-class generals can be equipped with such equipment. Xu Huang is one of them.

The two war horses neighed and met each other in an instant.

Xu Huang didn't say anything, he was very stubborn and stabbed when he was distracted.

This thorn stabbed out and tore into the air with a roar, as fast as lightning.

But Yan Liang chuckled, turned his sword outward, and hit the iron spine. The huge force made Xu Huang sway on his horse, and his arms suddenly became numb. The iron sank down and was lost.

direction. While the two horses continued to charge, Yan Liang's broadsword pressed Xu Huang's iron rod, flipped the edge, pushed it upward along the iron rod, and wiped out horizontally. From solemn to light, the switch was free, making Xu Huang

It was extremely uncomfortable. He felt the iron iron in his hand loosen, followed by a big knife. He was so frightened that he quickly put up the iron iron and the iron door latch, and the iron door latch collapsed with a clang. Yan Liang's lightning-like strike...

Then, the two horses kicked wrongly and separated.

His hands were trembling slightly, and Xu Huang swallowed.

He turned the horse's head, gritted his teeth, and rode out again.

Yan Liang laughed and said: "Xu Gongming is not weak in skill, but it's a pity that he is not the opponent of a certain family."

Comparing strength, Yan Liang is much more tyrannical than Xu Huang. Although both of them are super-class warriors, some of them are super-class warriors. Like Yan Liang, he is almost super-class in the mid-level, but Xu Huang is only super-class and low-level.

.Although there is only such a small difference, it is enough to kill a person in a confrontation. If it were not for the three treasures in the horse, Xu Huang might have died just now. With the weight of the stirrup, he could sit firmly on the horse.

This time, he no longer dared to leave half of his strength to fight with Yan Liang.

Fighting generals is a tactics that can greatly improve morale.

Although formations and tactics have been emphasized since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, fighting generals is still the most important part of the confrontation between the two armies.

Relying on the three treasures in the horse, Xu Huang and Yan Liang fought for more than 20 times, but they still couldn't decide the outcome. Yan Liang's sword was suddenly as fast as lightning, and sometimes as dignified as Mount Tai. The speed and severity were unpredictable... Xu Huang gritted his teeth and

The iron rod flew up and down, making a whirring sound.

After the two men fought for thirty rounds, Xu Huang suddenly heard that there was chaos in the rear of the formation.

He quickly gave a sigh of relief and jumped out of the battle ring.

Looking up at the formation, I saw a group of iron cavalry, about a thousand people, roaring into the formation.

That was the general, with a black helmet and black armor, a green-maned horse on his hip, and a snake spear eight feet long in his hand...

"Xu Gong will leave tomorrow. Zhang Fei from Yan is here."

It's Zhang Fei!

Xu Huang was shocked and quickly rode to rescue him.

But how could Yan Liang allow him to escape, so he stopped him by urging his horse.

"Xu Gongming, your opponent is me, where are you going?"

The big ring sword whirred, with the sound of wind and thunder, and the cloud of swords rolled. Xu Huang was already two points weaker than Yan Liang, and they were tied with the equipment. But now, a fierce tiger appeared behind him, how could Xu Huang still fight?
