Chapter Fourty-Seven and Eight: Precarious (Thirteen)
Every time a soldier was sacrificed, Guo Si felt extremely heartbroken. The selection of soldiers by the Xiliang Army was different from the way the princes of the Central Plains chose each other. These soldiers were all selected from many people, rigorously trained, and equipped with the best quality.
Weapons, an ordinary corps commander in the princes' army can definitely be qualified for the position of captain. The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is terrifying.
Compassion does not command troops. Guo Si knows this truth better than anyone else. His ability to reach this point is made of many bones, and there is absolutely no lie. Even Jia Rong has to admit that his position as a general is
It was forged with the blood of countless brothers.
Guo Jiaju was at the bottom of the Chinese army's tent, with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "In recent days, the princes' armies have repeatedly invaded, and the soldiers in the army have also suffered some casualties. However, the princes' armies have also paid a heavy price. The princes' armies outside the pass have once again
The attack has been stopped. I wonder which general would dare to lead his army out of the city to fight in order to enhance the prestige of our army."
After being attacked like this for several days, the morale of the Xiliang army was not very high. Fortunately, Guo Jiachang's strategy of hanging cowhide on the city temporarily slowed down the princes' offensive. At this time, he asked the general to lead the soldiers out of the pass and the princes' army.
A small battle can allow the soldiers to face the siege of the princes' armies more easily. With the combat power of the Xiliang army, Guo Jia is very confident that he will win.
"I am willing to lead my troops there!" Zhao Yun said, clasping his fists.
"With Zilong on the battlefield, our army will definitely be able to win." The cavalry in Zhao Yun's hands are soldiers separated from the Blood Guard. They have strong combat effectiveness. I thought that Jia Rong could win a great victory in the grassland and annihilate the Xianbei Wolf Army. The Blood Guard
Their contribution is indispensable. These cavalry are very low-key on weekdays. On the battlefield, they are like bloodthirsty demons. With the scimitars in their hands and the horses under them, they harvest the lives of the enemy. Otherwise, they would not be entrusted with the important task of protecting Jia Rong.
.
When the Xiliang army came out to challenge, Yuan Shao frowned. In the past few days of attacks, the princes' armies suffered considerable losses. Although they suppressed the Xiliang army in a short time, the situation was reversed again because of a small strategy. At this time, the Xiliang army was suppressed.
The Liang army came out to challenge, and their intention was very clear. Let a victory suppress the morale of the princes' army and make the fighting spirit of the defenders even higher.
"There is no room for failure in this battle. Hangu Pass is the most powerful pass in the world and is extremely difficult to break. I wonder who is willing to fight?" Yuan Shao said with a heavy tone.
All the princes in the tent were silent. From what Yuan Shao said, he wanted to defeat these Xiliang troops.
He fought with the Yellow Turban Army and won a victory, but he did not dare to easily fight against the Xiliang Army. If the infantry was gone, he could recruit more, but the cavalry could not be formed overnight. Every cavalry was the work of the princes.
The young horses of the Central Plains are not as wealthy as the Xiliang army, and they even have their own horse farms on the grasslands.
"Everyone, this is a critical moment in the battle between our army and the Xiliang army's rebels. I hope you will dare to give up. Only in this way can the coalition forces hope to reach Chang'an City."
Cao Cao's expression changed for a long time and he said: "The Xiliang army is all cavalry. There are still some cavalry in our army who are willing to go and fight. In the subsequent battle, I hope you will not hide your secrets and defeat the Xiliang army. Do you want to attack us?"
It’s all beneficial, I believe you all know it.”
Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. If Cao Cao hadn't stepped forward, I'm afraid he would have revealed Yuan's army's trump card, the Euphorbia. Cao's army had been able to win many battles in the Central Plains. Needless to say, the soldiers under his command were elite.
"Meng De's army is going, you all will come with me to watch the battle." After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he led the princes to get up and leave.
The general leading the army was Cao Jun's fierce general Xiahou Dun. He was famous among Cao Jun for his bravery in battle. He took the lead in every battle and was not afraid of stray arrows. He was quite prestigious among the soldiers.
"Zhao Yun, let's see how I take your life!" Xiahou Dun raised his sword and the five hundred cavalry behind him stopped abruptly.
In terms of martial arts, Cao Cao's cavalry was also selected from an army of 100,000. Each cavalryman was highly skilled in martial arts and had superb riding skills. In terms of war horses, Cao Cao's war horses were not inferior to the Xiliang army. This is why Cao Cao dared to challenge the Xiliang cavalry.
.
Any elite soldier cannot achieve success just by training, but needs constant training in the fire of war, and Cao Cao deliberately used the Xiliang cavalry as a whetstone for the progress of Cao's cavalry.
Xiliang's iron horsemen are armed with scimitars, as are Cao's troops. Xiliang's troops are wearing armor, as are Cao's troops. The fight between the two sides must be an earth-shattering battle.
When Zhao Yun saw this team, the look on his face turned solemn. He felt the breath of death from Cao's cavalry, just like when he faced the wolf army on the grassland in the past. The wolf army did not have stirrups or horseshoes.
There is a cavalry team, but this only arouses the fighting spirit in Zhao Yun's heart. If he wants to defeat the Xiliang army with cavalry, he will die happily.
"Can the generals share their names?" Zhao Yun said, holding a gun and clasping his fists.
"Xiahou Dun!"
"Kill!" Zhao Yun waved his spear, and five hundred cavalry rushed towards Cao Jun in a flying goose formation. Under the flying goose formation, if the opponent's cavalry is not well-trained, they can completely break up the opponent's formation in one round. The cavalry is not like
Infantry is so easy to control, and it is difficult to get into formation without some hard training.
Xiahou Dun looked stern, immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
The cavalry's equestrian skills are superb, and they are protected by armor. The damage caused by arrow rain is very small. To win, the only way to win is the confrontation between cavalry and cavalry, which tests the true combat effectiveness of a cavalry, as well as the strength of the entire team.
Coordination, both are indispensable.
Among the central army, Yuan Shao was dazzled when he saw Cao Jun's cavalry. He didn't want to have a cavalry belonging to Yuan Jun, but the consumption of the cavalry was staggering. It was hard to imagine that Jia Rong could use Liangzhou
The barren land can support thousands of cavalry, turning Chang'an into a flourishing place.
"A true hero and a fierce general!" Yuan Shao sighed.
The two cavalrymen soon collided with each other. Whether they were male or female could only be determined after fighting.
In the Central Plains, the cavalry is almost invincible. The infantry dare not collide with the horses anyway, so the cavalry only needs to wave their weapons and kill the enemy. However, when encountering the Xiliang Army, this kind of thing is destined not to happen.
, every dodge action and killing action has gone through strict training. The princes can imitate the equipment of Xiliang cavalry, but they don't know the method of Xiliang army training cavalry.
Xiahou Dun rushed to the forefront. With the sword in his hand, he rushed and killed two Xiliang cavalry. However, he felt a lot of pressure. The martial arts of these two soldiers were not weak at all. What shocked Xiahou Dun was
Regarding the cooperation between cavalry, he had never thought that cavalry could take care of each other on high-speed galloping horses, just like infantry. It seemed that the cavalry in front of him could do it.
After a confrontation, Xiahou Dun felt that his own cavalry was inferior to his opponent in many ways. As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and imitation is always imitation. He has no own understanding of the essence.
After killing the first Xiliang cavalry, the moment the sword stopped, three weapons came towards Xiahou Dun. If it weren't for his superb martial arts and adaptability, he might have died in the first round of the charge.
.
Even the fierce general Xiahou Dun was under such pressure, let alone Cao Jun's cavalry. They were surprised to find that after the collision of the same scimitar, the opponent's sword was intact, but there was a gap in their own blade. According to this situation, not
How long will it take, I'm afraid the weapon will no longer be usable.
After a sudden attack, Xiliang's cavalry lost more than fifty people, and Cao's army lost more than a hundred cavalry. The troops were divided, and the Yanxing Formation failed to successfully break up the opponent's formation.
Xiahou Dun has always been a person who refused to admit defeat. Seeing this situation, he resolutely killed the Xiliang cavalry. He waved his sword and the light of the sword flashed. For a moment, no one could defeat him.
If you look carefully, you will find that when the Xiliang cavalry attacks, they maintain a vague relationship with each other. If one party is in trouble, Pao Ze will quickly support him. One Cao Jun cavalry may face two at the same time.
Under the attack of three Xiliang cavalry, unless one is extremely skilled in martial arts, it would be difficult to survive on the battlefield.
Zhao Yun's gentian spear took away the life of one of Cao's cavalry. He leaped on his horse and charged at Xiahou Dun. The swords and spears clashed and sparks flew. Xiahou Dun was secretly shocked that the seemingly weak general of the Xiliang Army was so powerful.
Xiahou Dun was confident that no one in Cao's army could match his strength, so he fought as a group and his soldiers continued to fight.
The rumble of war drums sounded when the door was closed, and the Xiliang cavalry was shocked and rushed towards Cao Jun.
The scimitar in the hands of a Cao Jun cavalry was cut off, and he fell off his horse and died in disbelief. After a long battle, the weapons in the hands of Cao Jun soldiers could not withstand such consumption and showed their shortcomings. Every cavalryman in the Blood Guard
They were all figures who came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Not to mention shouting and shouting on the battlefield, they all had the lives of at least ten cavalry in their hands. They had rich combat experience and sophisticated methods. In front of them, Cao Jun's cavalry were like apprentices who had just debuted.
How to be an opponent.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy. The cavalry he relied on was still defeated by the Xiliang army. He said in a low voice: "Make the gold and withdraw the troops!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the Xiliang army took the opportunity to kill for a while and returned victorious, but there was no joy in their expressions. Cao's army lost 300 people, and the Xiliang army also paid the price of more than 100 people. If they had been replaced by ordinary cavalry and
When Cao Cao's army fought, I was afraid that the outcome was only a matter of 50 to 50. I didn't expect that the princes of the Central Plains still had such a powerful army.
In any case, in this battle, the Xiliang Army finally won, the coalition forces finally lost, and the most elite cavalry was still defeated by the Xiliang Army.
This result was naturally expected by Yuan Shao. The Xiliang army, which was able to dominate the world, could not even defeat Cao's army, so how could it sweep the grasslands.
"Mengde need not be depressed. The Xiliang army also paid a price of more than a hundred people. Mengde's contribution will be recorded for now. After Chang'an is conquered, rewards will be given based on merit." Yuan Shao comforted.
