Jia Rong has made it clear that if there is a battle, merchants are allowed to sell supplies to other princes. As for the profits obtained, sufficient taxes must be paid. Otherwise, if they are found out, they will be retaliated by the Xiliang army. This alone will
Many businessmen are willing to take part of the profits they make. The Xiliang Army's intelligence network is all over the world. It is very difficult to hide any small tricks. This is also the reason why many businessmen dare not make small tricks.
Driven by profit, many businessmen are willing to do business.
Guo Da in Yuzhou has had enough rest and recuperation. Although Cao's army lost many soldiers and generals in the previous battle, Guo Da's rule in Yuzhou has not been shaken. After so many years, not to mention Cao Cao, even outsiders look at Guo Dadu.
He is loyal and loyal. Whenever Cao Cao gives an order, he always carries it out to the letter and does not disobey.
The Xiliang Army attacked Huai County with great fanfare, which naturally attracted the attention of the world. The Xiliang Army has always been defeated in battles. This majesty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, whenever the Xiliang Army appears in the battle, there is always no
What suspense.
The pressure on Xiahou Dun can be imagined. He is a fierce general on the battlefield. He is more than enough to guard the city. But whether it is enough depends on who it is for. Give Xiahou Dun 20,000 troops and horses, and the Jingzhou Army will raise troops.
He was not afraid of a hundred thousand people, but when it came to three thousand people from the Xiliang Army, he felt a lot of pressure. First of all, he faced the pressure brought by the cavalry. The cavalry of the Xiliang Army was a very terrifying existence.
If the enemy cannot be attacked, a thousand cavalrymen can defeat tens of thousands of infantrymen on the battlefield.
The throbbing of the soldiers in the city, the restlessness of the people, the restlessness of the merchants, and the frequent activities of the aristocratic families are all bothering General Cao Jun. This time, Cao Cao also issued a death order, and Huai County must be defended, and even more mobilized
Five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were provided for Xiahou Dun's use.
The three thousand vanguard army marched straight towards Huai County. As long as Huai County was captured, the entire Hanoi County would become the territory of the Xiliang Army, and the vanguard army was a great achievement.
The intelligence along the way passed through the scouts and was continuously passed to Huang Zhong at the rear. Seeing Ma Chao's efficiency and methods, Huang Zhong also nodded slightly: "Ma Chao is worthy of being the person chosen by the Lord. He is indeed capable."
"My dear Xiahou, do you dare to go out of the city and fight your grandfather?" Ma Chao reined in his horse and stood at the foot of Huai County City, roaring with great energy. His voice echoed in the city for a long time, and all eyes were focused on Xiahou Dun.
On the body.
At this time, any general with a bloody spirit will rush to the battlefield. This is a slap in the face.[
"Tiger and leopard cavalry followed me forward to meet the enemy." Xiahou Dun said coldly.
"General, no, the Xiliang army outside the city has a thousand cavalry, all of them elite. There are only 20,000 defenders in the city. If Huang Zhong's army arrives, Huai County will be in danger. I hope the general can put the Lord's important affairs first."
"Huh, the Xiliang army is approaching the city. If our army just hides in the city and does not dare to fight with it, wouldn't it be a chill in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies? Sir, there is no need to say more. I will come as soon as I go, and I will definitely behead Ma Chao."
After finishing speaking, he stepped down the city wall.
The city gate opened wide, and five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry filed out, quickly forming an array outside the city. Their movements were uniform, and they were not inferior to the elite cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Ma Chao could not help but frown.
"Call the five hundred cavalry and come forward with me." Ma Chao said coldly. He didn't want to leave any excuse and let others think that the Xiliang army was bullying the small.
"Young Ma Chao, do you dare to fight?" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly, riding his horse and drawing his sword.
"Why don't you dare? Let me chop your head off, general." Ma Chao leapt on his horse, raised his spear, and charged at Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun himself was able to leave the city to fight, which was beyond his expectations. Presumably, before the Xiliang army moved out, Cao Cao
He must have repeatedly told the general to guard the city strictly and not to go out to fight. I didn't expect Xiahou Dun to have such courage. To a certain extent, he won Ma Chao's favor. However, after studying in the military academy, this favor was very well received by Ma Chao.
After being suppressed, it was just a mere man's bravery on the battlefield. It can only be said that he did not care about the life and death of the soldiers of the three armies. Xiahou Dun was the guard in the city. If he died, the impact on the city could be imagined.
The two fought against each other for more than ten times, and they were neck and neck. Ma Chao was superb in martial arts and equestrian, and had an absolute advantage on the horse. Xiahou Dun, on the other hand, was no less impressive. He was proficient in swordsmanship and could always win.
Ma Chao was slightly frightened by his precise vision and powerful force when he came back with his sword at the critical moment.
I had heard before that among the generals under Cao Cao's command, there were Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and other generals of Cao Cao's clan. I didn't expect that Xiahou Dun's martial arts skills were really good, and he could compete with some of the senior generals of the Xiliang Army.
But it's just a fight for some. When it comes to martial arts, Ma Chao is not even afraid of Lu Bu, the most powerful general of the Xiliang Army, let alone Xiahou Dun.
The spear trembled continuously, stabbing Xiahou Dun's three vital points, causing Xiahou Dun to panic for a while. A sneer appeared on Ma Chao's face, and the spear stabbed Xiahou Dun in the middle of the shoulder blade again.
The spear was so sharp that even the armor on Xiahou Dun's body had no effect. He was directly pierced by the spear and roared. Instead of being afraid, Xiahou Dun stood up and fought with Ma Chao. Each knife was more powerful than the last. It was obvious that
The gunshot wounds on his body stimulated his blood.
Ma Chao was slightly distracted. Normally, anyone who had been shot in the shoulder blade would abandon his weapons and rush back to the main formation. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Dun was an outlier. Not only did he not retreat, but looking at his posture, he wanted to fight Ma Chao to the death.
Pulling themselves together, the two of them fought together.
The wound continued to bleed, and even Xiahou Dun gradually began to feel weak. After a feint, he rode back and shouted: "Tiger and Leopard are riding forward." [
The five hundred cavalrymen dispatched immediately upon receiving the order from the general, within two breaths, which shows the eliteness of Cao's army.
Ma Chao sneered, waved his spear, and five hundred cavalry rushed out immediately. These five hundred cavalry were trained by Ma Chao himself. They are the elite of the army. Even compared to Zhao Yun's cavalry, they are not inferior in the slightest.
"Having grown up in the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao has a good grasp of the Xiliang Army's military training methods.
As can be seen from the city, two cavalrymen in black uniforms collided with each other, causing waves. Both sides were elites, and they fought with all their might. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were not at all affected by the previous Xiahoudun battlefield.
The general's defeat makes him depressed, but his fighting power becomes high.
For a time, they were as much killed as the Xiliang Army's cavalry.
Ma Chao let out a light sigh, with a heavy look on his face. From this cavalry, he saw the figure of his own cavalry. That's right, with Ruo Youruo's cooperation, big machetes and elite armors,
After fighting against the Xiliang Army, I believe that if Cao Jun is given some time, he will be able to gradually figure out the way the Xiliang Army fights. When the cavalry from both sides meet, it will be a hard battle.
"I didn't expect that Cao Cao would be so willing to spend money and prepare the same troops as the Xiliang army." Ma Chao said in a low voice.
The predicament has completely aroused the ferocity of the Xiliang cavalry. Three or two cavalry can cause a bloody storm on the battlefield. This is also the way the Xiliang cavalry has trained in recent years, using the strict cooperation between the cavalry.
, kill the enemy and win on the battlefield, just like infantry, without giving the enemy any chance to resist.
The situation turned around, which surprised Xiahou Dun. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were the most elite cavalry in the army. Looking at the plains, there were few opponents. They were defeated by Ma Chao's cavalry. What would happen if Jia Rong's soldiers were here?
After the establishment of the Liang Kingdom, there was a slight mention of the military strength of the Liang Kingdom in the newspaper. The three thousand tiger-armed troops commanded by Guo Si were definitely the most elite cavalry.
The battlefield came to an end. The generals on both sides did not want to lose too many cavalry in the first small battle, so they stopped and returned.
"General, what's the injury on your body?" The counselor asked worriedly when he saw that Xiahou Dun only bandaged it briefly without any treatment.
"It's okay, a few injuries are nothing to worry about." Xiahou Dun waved his hands. Xiahou Dun's recovery ability has been strong since he was a child. He never needs to apply "medicine" for minor injuries. After a period of time, he will get better. This is also
It created Xiahou Dun's image of being brave and fearless on the battlefield.
"General, your health is the most important thing. My lord has handed Hanoi into the hands of the general, so he should do his best. General, you know, if you go out of the city to fight with the Xiliang army today, if you die on the battlefield, what will happen to the defenders in the city?" said the counselor.
"This general already knows. Sir, let's discuss the method of defending the city as soon as possible."
The army will have counselors who will make plans for the army and face the enemy on the battlefield.
"The best way to defend a city is to have enough arrows and huge wooden rocks. Once the enemy attacks the city, you can respond immediately, kill the defenders under the city, and prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall." The counselor slowly said
He said, obviously after a lot of careful consideration.
Xiahou Dun shook his head slightly, "Sir, that's not true. You have to know that the Xiliang army's means of attacking the city is unparalleled by other princes. In the past, when the Xiliang army attacked Bingzhou, they relied entirely on thunderbolt chariots and continuous ballista chariots to defend the city.
If the army suppresses it, not to mention the huge wooden rocks, even the Thunderbolt Chariot may be suppressed."
Although Xiahou Dun was superficially rough, he still had a thorough study of the Xiliang Army. The exchanges between him and other generals were also focused on some offensive, defensive and field battles on the battlefield.
"What the general said is true, but the Xiliang army used so many materials and consumed a lot of money. They can hang cowhide and other objects on the city to block the crossbows and huge rocks," the counselor said.
After some planning, the two of them figured out all the strategies for defending the city.
Ma Chao stationed his troops outside the city and set up camp, but kept sending soldiers to the city to defend the formation. Xiahou Dun had been injured on the battlefield, but the morale of the army was greatly shaken, and the soldiers rushed to defend the formation.
