The coalition soldiers began to place their horses in an orderly manner, and the layers of horses surrounded the coalition camp. The Xiliang Army was best at cavalry warfare. As early as the beginning, the coalition forces had already concluded that the most effective way to deal with cavalry was to defend the city.
As for the defense, the second is to place the resisting horses, and the third is the archers. A burst of arrows can take away the lives of many cavalry. However, when the cavalry rushes into the formation, the army only has one chance to fire arrows. Drawing on the experience of Sun Jian's defeat, guard at night
There was an endless stream of soldiers in the camp, torches were hung high, and the light in front of the camp was as bright as day, giving no chance to Jia Rong inside the pass.
The coalition camp is about five miles away from Hulao Pass. The open space between the two sides not only acts as a buffer, but also serves as a battlefield for the two armies to confront each other. The battlefield is not only for attacking fortifications, but also in the most common form of the two armies setting up in the wilderness.
Setting up a battle position and engaging in battle will help both sides concentrate their forces on the battle and quickly determine the winner.
The next day, Jia Rong ordered his soldiers and horses to open the gate and close it. More than a thousand soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands and stared closely at the outside of the city. Guo Si was ordered to defend the city in the face of danger.
Defending the city was the second priority. Jia Rong led his troops out of the pass. There was a hundred thousand coalition troops outside the pass. There was no room for loss. The archers in the pass were used to support Jia Rong's army when they retreated. Even the weapons used to defend the city inside the pass were also brought up.
, now Sun Jian's thousands of troops are outside the pass, and they have to be dealt with carefully.
"Hua Xiong is here. Is there any general in the coalition who dares to challenge me?" Hua Xiong appeared two hundred steps away from the coalition gate with a big sword and shouted with enough strength.
No matter how loud Hua Xiong's voice was, only a few coalition soldiers could be heard. A hundred thousand troops stretched for dozens of miles.
News of Hua Xiong's challenge reached Yuan Shao's Chinese army in about a quarter of an hour.
In the main tent of the coalition army, the eighteen princes gathered together.
"Is there anyone who dares to accept the challenge from the Xiliang army outside the camp gate?" Yuan Shao glanced at the princes in the tent and said slowly. Fighting generals before a battle can stimulate morale to a certain extent. The coalition forces have gathered the eighteen princes from Guandong, can they
There are naturally endless generations of people emerging, and Yuan Shao has sufficient confidence.
A general walked out from behind Yuan Shu, bowed and said: "Young general, I am willing to go!"
Yuan Shu glanced at the princes in the tent with a smile on his face, and looked at Sun Jian with a hint of provocation. Sun Jian snorted coldly and turned his head away. Outside Hulao Pass, Sun Jian lost his troops and reduced his general, leaving only two thousand of his ten thousand army.
The rest of the people, Zu Mao and Sun Ce, didn't know whether they were alive or dead. They knew that nothing would happen if they were captured by Jia Rong, but they still felt a little unhappy in their hearts.
"Okay, may I ask the name of the warrior?" Yuan Shao said happily.
"Young general Yu She." Yu She did not dare to neglect and said with his fists in hand.
"If you can win, remember the first achievement!"
Yu She bowed and accepted the promise, took the spear handed over by the soldier, and rode his horse to meet Hua Xiong outside the camp gate. When he saw Hua Xiong standing majestically outside the camp gate holding a long iron sword, he couldn't help but be shocked. Yu She was in front of Yuan Shu.
Although he is a high-ranking general in the platoon, his family knows his own affairs, and he still knows how much he weighs. Hua Xiong is born with a tiger's back and a monkey's waist, and the armor cannot hide his explosive muscles.
It was inevitable to ask for a battle in front of the princes. Yu She shouted: "I am Yu She, the general of the coalition army. Can I share my name with the general?"
Hua Xiong used all his strength and shouted: "Hua Xiong, the general of the Xiliang Army." Originally, Hua Xiong wanted to call himself the general of the Xiliang Army, but thinking of Lu Bu's martial arts, he had to bury this idea in his heart, otherwise he would be taught a lesson by Lu Bu.
But it's not a good deal. Lu Bu cares most about his reputation, especially his reputation on the battlefield.
The sound was like a loud bell, and Yu She further strengthened his belief that this person was invincible.
With a shout, Yu She jumped on his horse and charged at Hua Xiong with his spear. The spear in his hand gave him some confidence, as many enemies died under his spear.
Hua Xiong glanced at Yu She's thin war horse and the weapon in his hand, chuckled and clapped his horse to greet him.
In just one round, Hua Xiong clearly understood Yu She's martial arts skills. This kind of person would probably not be qualified to be a cavalry squad leader in the Xiliang Army. He didn't expect that he was actually a general of the coalition forces.
Reining his horse to engage in battle again, Hua Xiong dodged Yu She's spear and cut Yu She and his horse into two pieces with a backhand knife.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army behind them let out a roar that shook the sky and shouted for Hua Xiong in unison.
Hua Xiong picked up Yu She's head with the tip of his knife and sneered: "What a coalition general, nothing more than that."
"Report, Yu She fought with Hua Xiong, and they were beheaded by Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong used a knife to pick up Yu She's head to demonstrate to our army." The spy hurried to the Chinese army's tent and knelt down.
All the generals in the tent changed their minds. Yu She was a general under Yuan Shu, but only two of them were killed by Hua Xiong. Everyone had to start to re-examine Hua Xiong.
"Wentai, what do you think of Hua Xiong?" Yuan Shao asked, remembering that Sun Jian had fought with the Xiliang army a few days ago.
Sun Jian said with a heavy face: "Hua Xiong is brave. He defeated many of my generals in a row, and his sword skills are extremely superb." For some reason, Yuan Shu's generals were killed by Hua Xiong, and Sun Jian felt an indescribable pleasure.
Han Fu saw that all the princes were frightened, so he stepped forward and said, "I have General Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong."
Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered him to go into battle.
Pan Feng took the big ax handed over by the soldier, waved it several times with a whirring sound, grinned, got on his horse and headed towards the camp gate. The horse under him was a little unstable when running, probably because Pan Feng was too heavy.
.
When Hua Xiong saw the general's posture, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. This general who called himself Pan Feng looked quite scary. He was tall and thick, and he was wearing fine armor. But as soon as Fang fought, his basic skills were revealed.
Cut Pan Feng off his horse.
In the main tent of the coalition army, Yuan Shao looked heavy after listening to the situation reported by the spies. The name Hua Xiong was also imprinted in the hearts of every prince. He killed two generals of the coalition army, but only three times each time. How much more needed
With martial arts skills, how many people like this can be found in the coalition army.
"Brother, why don't we go out to fight?" Guan Yu, who was behind Gongsun Zan, whispered.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he was a member of the royal family, he had no power and had no right to speak in front of the princes. Moreover, Guan Yu and Zhang Feiyong were brave. They were just ordinary soldiers in the army. If he went into battle rashly, he would definitely be provoked.
The princes discussed that now he is just a small follower of Gongsun Zan.
Yuan Shao sighed: "It's a pity that my general Yan Liangwen Chou has not arrived yet. If there is one here, why should we be afraid of little Hua Xiong?"
Upon hearing this, the princes in the tent discussed in low voices. No matter how unpleasant Yuan Shao's words were, no one dared to send any generals there.
"Young general is willing to cut off Hua Xiong's head and offer it to the tent!" Guan Yu stepped forward regardless of Liu Bei's obstruction.
The princes all turned their attention to Guan Yu, and saw that Guan Yu was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face like heavy jujubes, and a voice like a loud bell. He was carrying a fierce general.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Who is this general?"
Gongsun Zan said to the crowd, "This is Guan Yu, Liu Xuande's younger brother. He is a fierce general."
Yuan Shao asked: "Who is Liu Xuande?"
Gongsun Zan explained Liu Bei's merits and origins in detail in front of the princes. The princes talked a lot. Liu Xuande was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, which overpowered the princes to a certain extent. Naturally, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Give me a seat!" Yuan Shao said hurriedly: "Since you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it should be like this." Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, so he naturally has to show corresponding courage. Although Liu Bei's identity is sensitive, it will not affect Yuan Shao's status.
"I don't respect you, but I respect you as a member of the Han clan." Yuan Shao added.
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he still bowed: "Thank you so much, leader!"
"I wonder what position Guan Yu currently holds?" Yuan Shao asked.
Gongsun Zan answered truthfully: "Follow Liu Xuande and serve as a horse archer."
When Yuan Shu heard this in the tent, he said angrily: "Liu Xuande, are you bullying the princes who have no generals? A mere horse archer actually made such nonsense in front of the princes. Come on, beat Guan Yu out."
When Liu Bei heard this, his expression changed greatly. He stood up and bowed: "General, calm down. My brother has no intention of doing so. Dong Zhuo is going against the grain. All people with lofty ideals in the world should kill him together. My brother also has the heart to serve the country with fists and fists. Please be aware of this, leader of the alliance."
Cao Cao also said: "Let the road be quiet. Since Guan Yu dares to speak loudly, he must have brave strategies. Why not let him go out to fight. If he does not win, it is not too late to blame him."
Yuan Shao looked slightly embarrassed and said: "Let a horse archer go to fight, lest the Xiliang army will laugh at you when they find out."
"Haha, what the leader said is wrong. I think Guan Yu has a good appearance, and he talks and behaves like a general. Does Hua Xiong know that he is a horse archer?" Cao Cao laughed, but he was disapproving of Yuan Shao in his heart. Since ancient times, heroes have no regard for their origins.
Yuan Shao showed contempt when he heard about Guan Yu's identity as a horse archer. How could he achieve great things?
Liu Bei glanced at Cao Cao gratefully and said, "General Cao's words make sense."
"If you don't win, please behead Guan Yu." Guan Yu said with a proud expression.
Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao under the tent with dissatisfaction, just because he said, "The words of the leader are wrong."
"That's fine, Guan Yu, hurry up and fight." Yuan Shao said.
Yuan Shu murmured in a low voice: "Another one has gone to die."
Zhang Fei looked at each other angrily, and Yuan Shu quickly looked elsewhere.
When Guan Yu was about to leave, Cao Cao stepped forward and said, "General Guan, wait a moment. Let's have a glass of wine before we go."
Guan Yu glanced at Cao Cao gratefully. This general Guan had offended Yuan Shu. It was Yuan Shu who had openly opposed his participation in the battle just now, mainly because he was a horse archer. He did not expect that this short prince was quite good.
"Put down the wine for now. I'll drink it when someone comes back after killing Hua Xiong." Guan Yu came out of the tent, picked up his sword, mounted his horse and left Juechen.
Zhang Fei also hurriedly walked out of the tent to beat drums for Guan Yu to help him fight.
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "He's just a little pony archer, why can't he pour wine instead of pouring wine?"
Guan Yu rode his horse and rushed outside the camp gate, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword upside down and looking at Hua Xiong coldly.
Hua Xiong cupped his hands and said, "After a few years apart, General Guan is even more energetic than before."
Guan Yu snorted coldly: "You traitor, why don't you dismount your horse quickly and accept your surrender?"
Hua Xiong's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Guan Yu and said, "I respect your loyalty for letting General Jia go that day. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of good and evil."
Thank you for your support. Brothers who have red tickets in their hands, come and see if you have collected them. The cavalry needs your support!
