Let's talk about Duan Yan leading 3,000 cavalry to the battlefield. The equipment of these cavalry are all similar to those of the Xiliang Army. They have big horses, scimitars, stirrups and horseshoes. During the time of the Xiliang Army, Duan Yan had already trained the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
He had a thorough understanding of that set, and even the equipment of the cavalry was understood by him in detail. After Li Ru ruled Bingzhou, he immediately applied to form a cavalry, with the purpose of preparing for the future battlefield.
Competing with the Xiliang army, Duan Xuan had full confidence in his cavalry. As a general, everyone has his own glory. Duan Xuan's glory is the cavalry team he trained with his own hands. Li Ru's rule does not rule Bingzhou.
It didn't matter to him. Fighting with the Xiliang army was a wish that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
When Dong Zhuo started his career, he also relied on cavalry. Duan Yan knew more about cavalry training than Jia Rong. With the assembly of advanced weapons, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was soaring. It was the cavalry that Li Ru saw Duan Yan training.
, and must not be admired.
Three thousand cavalrymen followed orders and orders, but did not commit any crime along the way. Scouts were all over the battlefield, always looking for the movements of the Xiliang army. They hid day and night, hiding the traces of the cavalry.
The scouts from both sides met on the battlefield and began their initial probing, attacking, and scouting. They are the most elite among the cavalry and represent the highest personal strength of the cavalry. The scouts are not only bold, but also meticulous and have superb martial arts skills with bows and horses.
.
When Lu Bu heard the soldiers reporting the loss of the scouts, he wanted to immediately pick up Fang Tian's painted halberd and go out in person. More than fifty scouts lost nearly ten people in one morning. This was an unprecedented situation. This also made him vigilant. The battlefield
There is definitely another group of cavalry wandering above, and the combat effectiveness of this cavalry is beyond imagination.
After many years of fighting, Lu Bu also understood a lot. He was no longer the brave general who didn't care about the life and death of his soldiers and only wanted a moment of happiness.
Like Lu Bu, Duan Xuan was also heartbroken. The Xiliang army lost ten scouts, and the scouts in his hands also cost more than a dozen people. Both of them understood the importance of scouts on the battlefield. Without the scouts, the army
It is equivalent to a blind man. No matter how high the cost, he has to fill it in, not only in the duel before the two armies fight, but also in the acquisition of intelligence on the battlefield.
The two cavalry did not meet, and the battle between the scouts was particularly fierce. Most of the cavalry in Lu Bu's hands were athletes on the grassland. They had superb riding skills and superb archery skills. Especially after the help of stirrups, their archery skills also improved. This is innate
Taking advantage of the situation, these Xianbei warriors shined brilliantly on the battlefield in Taiyuan County. In the process of fighting against the Bingzhou cavalry, they continued to combine their usual training and combat.
Under the construction of Xu Rong, Pingtao was like a copper wall and an iron wall. He frowned slightly. The Pingtao city wall was not as tall as Xihe County City, but it gave Huang Zhong the illusion of being unbreakable. When the army arrived, the defenders on the city were not at all what they had encountered before.
The defenders were so panicked and at a loss what to do, but they behaved in a measured manner.
"Who is General Pingtao?" Guo Jia asked.
"Xu Rong!"
"Xu Rong? This person should not be underestimated. He was a famous general under Dong Zhuo. During the Eighteenth Route Crusade, he led an army to resist the coalition forces." Huang Zhong frowned. Apparently he had already done something to the generals under Li Ru.
Some research.
Pingtao was heavily guarded. Huang Zhong temporarily ordered the three armies to set up camp. However, he still followed the previous procedures and fired a surrender letter into the city. This was a sharp weapon. If the defenders were not careful, they might be opened by the brave merchants in the city.
The city gate.
At the Chinese army's tent, Guo Jia kept frowning and thinking deeply. Xu Rong, the general of Pingtao, was a calm man. Although his army provoked several times in succession, he did not leave the city to fight. On the contrary, during this period, it seemed that there were more defenders on the city.
At first glance, there are some new faces.
"Could it be that Xu Rong organized young men to defend the city in the city?" Guo Jia whispered, "If this is true, Pingtao City will be extremely difficult to break." Moreover, the recent news that Lu Bu came back from the battlefield shocked Guo Jia. Look at the situation.
The opponent's cavalry is numerous and well-trained. It seems that capturing Bingzhou is not as simple as imagined. With Li Ru's methods, it is definitely not the strength of the Xiliang army that was revealed on the surface. Jia Rong has also considered these before.
.
Lu Bu frowned when he heard the losses reported by the scouts. Over the past three days, a total of hundreds of scouts had been lost. The fighting between the scouts had become more intense than ever before. Both armies seemed to be standing still, leaving the scouts alone.
Compete with each other.
The Xiliang army lost a hundred scouts, and the opponent lost at least 150. Lu Bu couldn't imagine when Bingzhou had such a cavalry, which could rival the Xiliang army. You must know that these scouts are from the grassland.
The warriors above were strong soldiers even when Xianbei was strong.
A sneer appeared on Duan Yan's face. The scouts had lost more than a hundred people, and he also obtained important news. Lu Bu's cavalry only had a thousand people, while he had three thousand. The army was able to cover them up and kill them.
The Xiliang Army cavalry was defeated, and Duan Yan began to prepare a series of combat measures. If he fought with such cavalry, he might lose everything if he was not careful. He would only take action if he was sure that there were no other cavalry wandering around, and he
I am very confident that Lu Bu has not found the location of his own cavalry. This is an advantage.
The sky is getting dark, and a crescent moon hangs quietly in the sky. The afterglow shines on a slowly marching cavalry team below. Three thousand cavalry, with their horses and feet bound, started walking, and the noise was reduced a lot.
.
Duan Yan is in the Chinese army, with a determined look on his face, and occasionally a smile on his face.
Lu Bu had just fallen asleep and suddenly rolled over and got up. There was a subtle vibration on the ground, which could only be heard when the cavalry was advancing. He hurriedly lay on the ground and listened carefully.
"Everyone is ready, the enemy is coming soon!" Lu Bu picked up the Fang Taihua halberd and shouted loudly. Everyone moved. Their horses and weapons were beside them, sleeping in armor. As long as there was any movement, they would be ready at any time.
You can enter combat mode.
At this time, Duan Yan had already led the cavalry outside the camp where Lu Bu was stationed. Looking at the slightly panicked Xiliang Army cavalry, a strange color flashed in his eyes. The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Duan Yan waved the spear in his hand, and there was already a gun behind him.
The cavalry who were ready to attack shouted and attacked the Xiliang army.
One team is the Xianbei warriors on the grassland, and the other team is the elite built by Duan Xuan of Bingzhou. The battle between the two sides is fierce.
The prairie cavalry are skilled with bows and horses, and can make various evasive maneuvers on their horses, while the Bingzhou cavalry is better in numbers. As the saying goes, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists. The equipment of both sides is the same, and the competition is mostly based on the number of soldiers.
.
The Xiliang army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and after half an hour of fighting, it was obvious that they were defeated. The warriors on the grassland still fought hard. Without orders, they would not retreat, even if they died in battle.
With a square-shaped halberd in his hand, Lu Bu's aura revealed in his body made people dare not look directly at him. One man and one horse, he charged left and right among the Bingzhou cavalry, stirring up bloody flowers.
Duan Xuan praised: "Lu Bu is worthy of his reputation as a brave man. The grand master tried so hard to win over him, but he didn't expect..."
"Whoever captures Lu Bu alive will be rewarded with a hundred gold and be promoted to the third rank." Duan Xuan pointed at Lu Bu and shouted loudly.
After saying that, dozens of cavalrymen started to kill in the direction of Lu Bu. The cavalrymen rushed to the battlefield, mostly to gain fame and wealth. The look in Lu Bu's eyes was like seeing money in vain, easily available at his fingertips.
An hour later, the cavalry battle came to an end. Lü Bu could not do anything, and led the remaining soldiers to break through the encirclement and escape. There were only more than 200 cavalrymen left among the 1,000 cavalry, and nearly 800 cavalry were lost in the first battle. Lu Bu's face was gloomy, and if it weren't for Duan
Duan Zuan was calculated mentally and unintentionally. He led a thousand cavalry, which was enough to compete with the opponent's 3,000 men and horses. In a cavalry battle, speed and the quality of the cavalry mattered. When Duan Xuan raided the camp, the Xiliang army had just prepared.
It has already fallen behind.
Duan Yan listened to the soldiers reporting the results of the battle. His face, which was originally smiling, lost its color. Three thousand cavalry covered the opponent and even lost 800 people. Such casualties are indeed unacceptable, but the Xiliang Army
The equipment and horses left behind made up for these losses. With these things, a cavalry can be reorganized. Only the experience of blood and fire can the cavalry truly grow up. After this battle, Duan Yan believed in his men.
The progress of the cavalry will be rapid.
"Scouts immediately inquire about Lu Bu and others!" Duan Yan ordered.
He wanted to completely eat up Lu Bu's cavalry and cut off the Xiliang army's wings on the battlefield.
Lu Bu only had 200 cavalry in his hands, which also aroused his fighting spirit. He dared to break into the enemy's encirclement with a single horse. How could he be afraid and retreat? After ordering people to report the losses to Huang Zhong, Lu Bu continued to lead the cavalry around.
On the battlefield, unlike before, this time he had no fixed place to live. He would shoot and change places and never give Duan Xuan a chance to get close. Once he found something unusual, he would immediately run away. The initiative of the scouts on the battlefield was temporarily blocked by Duan Xuan.
Xuan seized it and some information about the Xiliang army was also passed on to Li Ru and Xu Rong.
The casualties of the scouts made Lu Bu heartbroken. In this case, regardless of his identity, he personally took action and restored the losses of some scouts.
With superb archery and martial arts skills, Lu Bu's attacks brought a bloody storm among the scouts. No matter how many people there were on the other side, Lu Bu was not afraid. On one occasion, he directly used three scouts to fight against more than ten opponents, relying only on the bows and arrows in his hands.
, shooting all the opponents off their horses, causing the Xianbei warriors to roar again and again. The tribes on the grassland admire the warriors the most. They follow the footsteps of the warriors and are not afraid of death.
This trick played by Lu Bu shocked the two hundred cavalrymen, because the mood of defeat before was also slightly weakened.
After that, Lu Bu participated in the battles between the scouts many times, but he didn't see any action. Just with the bow and arrow in his hand, the opponent's scouts kept falling, which made Duan Xun's army afraid. The Xiliang army had a murderer with a bow and arrow.
