Li Meng led 5,000 people to march quickly and raid the Baibo army camp.

The soldiers are very fast, and for this tentative attack, Xu Rong not only sent him elite troops, but also three hundred precious Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

This is the only cavalry unit in his hands. With the mobility of the cavalry, if he finds that the situation is wrong, he can leave immediately.

If it is confirmed that the Bai Bo army is indeed not prepared, then the tentative attack will naturally become a real attack.

It has to be said that more than 30,000 people dared to take the initiative to attack 60,000, which really requires courage for the commander.

But Xu Rong never lacks courage, and this is not a military operation where the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.

Xiang Yu burned his boats and Han Xin fought against the enemy. There was no way to do it. It was a way to be successful if he failed.

But now it is not the kind of desperate situation where you fight to the death, and Xu Rong did not want to have a decisive battle.

In fact, the main reason is that Dong Zhuo repeatedly made an order and did not allow him to take the initiative to attack.

So this test is now the limit that Xu Rong can do.

If Bai Bo's army could withstand it, Xu Rong would retreat soon and would never continue to entangle with them here.

If you can't resist...

It would naturally be that the entire army would be invaded and it would really start fighting.

After all, Bai Bo's army is so vulnerable that it is defeated directly and won the battle. Will Dong Zhuo still blame him?

It took some time for the Xiliang army to arrive several kilometers. However, the Baibo army could not assemble so quickly in a short period of time.

So when Li Meng was about to arrive in front of the village and found that there was a mess outside the Baibo army camp, he was so happy.

"The Kwantung Army is indeed not prepared."

Li Meng said to his deputy general excitedly: "It is time to attack at this time. Pass the order and the whole army will attack!"

"The whole army attacked!"

The deputy general yelled at the messenger behind him.

"The captain has an order, and the whole army will attack!"

The messenger rode his horse and shouted orders all the way.

Li Meng certainly didn't know that if he stopped now, set up his formation, and pushed forward steadily, there might be a chance.

Because the Bai Bo army now has no formation at all, it is scattered and has no rules.

Once the army gathers together to rush into the formation, even if the number of Bai Bo's army is ten times that of Li Meng's vanguard army, it will be defeated because it is too chaotic.

The most famous examples like this in history are the Battle of the Water.

The former Qin army had a large number of people, but the large number of people also meant that the team was too bloated. Once the troops retreated and moved, it would inevitably cause chaos. In this way, the Jin army crossed the river and attacked, and easily defeated Fu Jian.

But Li Meng obviously would not know that such a thing would happen in two hundred years. Seeing that Bai Bo's army was in chaos and thought it was a good time to attack, he directly ordered the soldiers to charge directly to the Bai Bo's army's camp.

Almost just when his vanguard army had rushed to the front of the camp, a camp in the northwest suddenly opened, and a mighty man rode out on a horse, and thousands of people were pouring in!

"Xu Huang from Hedong is here, who dares to fight someone!"

The person coming was Xu Huang, a subordinate of Yang Feng.

Xu Huang is also training his soldiers today, but not outside the village, but in the schoolyard.

Hearing the movement outside, he immediately summoned the soldiers, organized a team, and led all his troops and horses to form a row of scattered formations, and rushed towards Li Meng with a charge.

Both sides were rushing forward, and almost in just over ten seconds, the soldiers and horses on both sides collided like two torrents.

Xu Huang was armed with an axe and first got into the trap, killing dozens of people. His eyes suddenly aimed at a military Sima, and his head fell to the ground. He killed two young generals in an instant, shouting: "It's just like this, who else dares to fight with a certain battle!"

Seeing that his chief general was so powerful, Xu Huang's soldiers were possessed by a god and shouted: "Sima Weiwu, Sima Weiwu, the Xiliang army has been defeated, and the Xiliang army has been defeated!"

This is an order Xu Huang had issued to the soldiers before. Once they rushed into the enemy's formation, they would immediately shout like this to disturb the enemy's morale.

The Xiliang army in front was still rushing forward, but the Xiliang army behind was not lined up in a formation, but ran like a long snake.

Therefore, the Xiliang army behind had no idea about the situation ahead. When they heard the shout that the front army was defeated, they were extremely panicked for a moment and fled one after another.

Li Meng was confused at this time. He had just started fighting, so why did he lose his own family?

However, before he could come to his senses, he saw the soldiers around him throwing their weapons and running away in a mess.

Soon there were few soldiers around. Xu Huang noticed that among the riots not far away, there was a general riding a horse, and there were dozens of personal guards around him to protect him. Someone was holding a big flag with the word "Li" written on it.

Realizing that this was probably the leader of this army, Xu Huang immediately activated the horse, ran towards Li Meng with the Xuanhua axe, and shouted angrily: "The thief will take his life!"

The personal guards around Li Meng protected him. Xu Huang and dozens of warriors swept around left and right, attacked forward and killed seven or eight people, and took Li Meng straight.

The surroundings were messy and full of people. Even if Li Meng rode on the horse, he could not break through the encirclement and escape.

In just a blink of an eye, Xu Huang had already reached his front and slashed his axe fiercely.

Bang!

Click!

Li Meng was also a veteran, but he didn't react slowly. Seeing that the enemy general had a long handle, Xuanhua axe fell like thunder, he immediately swung his spear and blocked it.

But the next second, he split into two pieces with his man and a spear.

His horse lance was made of hardwood in the middle. After all, the horse lance made of all iron weighed dozens of kilograms, and it was not impossible for him to swing a powerful general like Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Xu Huang was too strong and he split the hardwood in half and even cut Li Meng to death.

Seeing that the thief was dead, Xu Huang became even more arrogant. He pointed forward with a big axe and roared: "The thief is dead, continue to kill!"

Groups of soldiers behind him rushed forward like crazy.

When Guan Yu saw this scene, he immediately came with thousands of soldiers that Guan Hai had just organized, caught up with Xu Huang, and shouted from behind: "Please slow down the heroes in front, there is the main force of the enemy!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! What?

Please be more reckless.

In the chaos, Xu Huang didn't hear clearly what Guan Yu was calling.

Of course he knew Guan Yu. The current leader of Bai Bo’s army was his boss Yang Feng.

Now that he heard the commander to let him continue to be more reckless, Xu Huang felt that he was so passionate that he began to slap his horse's buttocks like crazy.

Even though the claws are as fast as lightning, the front is full of their own soldiers chasing the Xiliang Army's defeated soldiers. Both sides are crowded on the plain official road in a very dense manner. If you chase them at full speed, you will easily bump into your own people.

So Guan Yu was helpless and could only follow Xu Huang's back. If the situation was not good, he would immediately go up and respond.

After defeating Li Meng's vanguard army, Xu Huang took the lead and continued to rush forward.

At this moment, Xu Rong was leading two thousand soldiers and horses to move forward on the wide official road.

In front is his own 5,000 vanguard army and behind him is a 30,000 army. Xu Rong's arrangement is naturally his intention.

The distance between several kilometers is not long or short, but the soldiers are armed with halberds and knives, and the weight is not light. They marched all the way and are prone to exhaustion.

Therefore, he ordered the vanguard army to march quickly, at a speed of about five kilometers per hour, while his army marched normally, at about three kilometers per hour.

There will be two kilometers apart in the middle, and Xu Rong himself walked in front of the army to observe the movements ahead.

If the vanguard army did not encounter ambush and successfully entered the Baibo army camp, Xu Rong would order the entire army to attack, and all the rear troops would push forward and defeat the Baibo army in one fell swoop.

If the vanguard is ambushed, he can also arrange it calmly, choose to retreat or form a formation to defend on the spot.

This is also a basic common sense for a handsome man.

From Xinfeng City to Xiting, there are either plains or hills, and the terrain is relatively flat.

And from Xinfeng City to the middle of the opera pavilion, is the Hongmen Pavilion, which is where the famous Hongmen Banquet takes place.

At this time, on the official road of Hongmen Pavilion, Xu Rong had already seen the densely packed soldiers running towards his home from afar on the horizon.

When I saw it through, I recognized it as my Xiliang army at a glance.

"General, Bai Bo's army was indeed ambushed, and Li Meng was defeated."

Another school captain, Yang Ding, looked out from afar, saw this scene, and asked Xu Rong: "What should we do now? Do we withdraw our troops?"

Xu Rong frowned and drove the horses to a hilly slope next to Hongmen Pavilion without saying a word, about twenty meters high from the ground, and looked at the battlefield about one kilometer away.

I saw that behind the defeated soldiers, there were only thousands of people chasing them. In some places further away, the Baibo army did not stop the offensive. It was a mess, some were chasing, some had just put on their armor and came out of the camp with weapons, and some were standing there looking at them, at a loss.

Seeing this scene, Xu Rong thought for a few seconds and said, "This must be Li Meng himself was careless and was defeated by a Bai Bo army that happened to be trained outside the village. It was not that the Bai Bo army set up an ambush. If they set up an ambush, the army would not be so chaotic."

"General, there are only a few thousand chasing people, and now is a good time to attack."

Yang Ding also saw the situation in the distance.

Don’t think that the melee of thousands of people is very big. If you still remember that the whole school of junior high school and high school holds a meeting, you will find that thousands of people are actually not many.

Especially in such plain terrain, if everyone is only concerned about running away, they will scatter like a group of scattered ants, which is not as shocking as tens of thousands of troops lined up in dense formations and slowly advanced forward.

Xu Rong only took a look at the messy situation and roughly calculated the situation. He immediately said to Yang Ding: "Appoint an order to form a formation on the spot and slowly advance forward."

"good!"

Yang Ding turned his head and went down the hillside, and took his personal guards to the army behind him, preparing to issue Xu Rong's orders.

Xu Rong himself, several side generals and dozens of personal guards, were still standing on the slope to watch the situation.
