Why did the princes of the Central Plains unite to attack the general?To put it more bluntly, this is an act of co-supporting charity and helping the Han Dynasty; if it is put bluntly, it means that all the princes are afraid of Li Li, and no one dares to fight against the general and his Xiliang army alone, so they can only unite. Only then did he have the courage to compete with the Xiliang army.Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker. "

Speaking of this, Wang Dang stopped talking suddenly, and took the time to take a breath to observe Zhang Yan's expression carefully. After seeing that his expression was as usual and not angry, he continued.

"Because of this, if our Black Mountain Army and Jizhou Yuan Shao are enemies in the front, and the general Li Li is behind, it is tantamount to making enemies on both sides, and they are all powerful forces that can destroy us. Compared with Yuan Shao's As far as the Jizhou army is concerned, the strength of the Xiliang army is obvious to all, and the general Li Li is by no means a benevolent person. Right now, the Xiliang army can easily fight against the Central Plains alliance of princes by itself, and the chances of winning are great; then wait until After this battle, will Li Li let us go, and will the Xiliang army let us off easily? Once the Xiliang army marches to the counties of Sili and then captures Bingzhou, then our Black Mountain army will have no way out, and we will surely die No place to die!"

"Your brother is absolutely right." Wang Dang hadn't finished speaking before Zhang Yan answered, "Perhaps my brother doesn't know yet. At this moment, the entire territory of Bingzhou has been brought under Li Li's rule. At present, all the princes of the Allied forces They don’t even know about this news yet, but our army’s secret agents have found out about the battle situation in Bingzhou half a month ago; after all, Bingzhou was originally the rear area of ​​our Black Mountain Army, and every county and county has our secret agents.”

"Ah! The huge Bingzhou has been captured by the Xiliang Army. When did this happen? Why is there no news from the allied camp?" Wang Dang asked in amazement, his expression changed.

"Brother, don't make noise, so as not to attract attention." After dissuading Wang Dang, Zhang Yan turned to look at the front of the Chinese army, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, as early as the end of last year, Li Li's general Zhou Yu had already Leading the army to capture Bingzhou, only because the Xiliang army sealed the pass tightly and arrested the scouts and spies from all walks of life, so that our army spies waited for several months before sending out the news. It is also for this reason that prompted me to Make up your mind to join the Xiliang army and serve under Li Li's command."

"The Xiliang army is really powerful!" Wang Dang exclaimed in horror: "In half a year, not only the two places fought, but also quietly captured the entire territory of Bingzhou. This strength alone is enough to outshine all heroes! "

Zhang Yan nodded in agreement, and sighed with sympathy: "The Xiliang army is indeed powerful, but the most powerful or the one that shocked me the most is the general Li Li. In March last year, Li Li secretly traveled to Jizhou. Sui Gu, and took him under his command. Immediately, Li Li entrusted Sui Gu with a heavy responsibility, ordering him to bring a lot of money to visit the Dazhai of our Black Mountain Army. In this way, our Black Mountain Army and the Xiliang Army formed a good relationship , and the leaders of all the villages are familiar with Suigu, and they are very envious of Suigu's fortune. Aiwu and Wuxia naturally respect Xiliang Li Lixin, even I, Zhang Yan, are no exception.

Unexpectedly, after a lapse of half a year, when our army followed the allied army to camp in Loudiyuan Xiazhai, Sui Gu sneaked into my army tent and brought a letter written by Li Li to persuade him to surrender.Today, when I go back and sort it out, it is not difficult to find that every step of this is Li Li's careful layout, which brought my Black Mountain Army step by step into the net without a sound, and then had to serve him.Such a careful plan has no track to follow, and it is hard to guard against. This is the real foresight.Since ancient times, there is no better hero than this! "

"Oh, that's how it is!" Wang Dang echoed with a half-knowledge, and asked: "The final general is still a little confused. Hearing what the leader said, it seems that he was forced to join the Xiliang army, but the general didn't Persecute or threaten us!"

Zhang Yan smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Your brother doesn't know something. In this world, persecution is not only when a big knife is placed on the neck, nor is a threat only when parents and family members are held hostage. Just like what my brother said just now, I The Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao of Jizhou have had a long-standing grievance, and they have become sworn enemies; this means that our Black Mountain Army will not be able to gain a long-term foothold in the Hebei area. The encirclement and suppression by the Jizhou army. Since we can't stay in Jizhou, where else can we rely on to make a living? There is no doubt that it is Bingzhou. But now the entire territory of Bingzhou has fallen into Li Li's hands, and we even have Yuan Shao. If you can't beat it, can you still defeat the Xiliang Army?

In this way, there is no place for us in Jizhou and Bingzhou, so where else can we go?Originally, we had another choice, which was to seek refuge with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, but now that Yanzhou was captured by Lu Bu, Cao Cao could not protect himself, and he had no ability to properly accommodate the hundreds of thousands of old and young women and children in Montenegro.

Therefore, there are only two choices before us, one is Sili and the other is Youzhou.Although Youzhou is good, it is too bitter and cold, and there are endless wars. It is not a place where hundreds of thousands of people like me live for a long time.In this way, the only way out for us is Sili, but whose territory is Sili?

It is not difficult to see from this that after our Black Mountain Army offended Yuan Shao, we had no other way out except to surrender to Li Li.Therefore, Li Li did not persecute us, nor did he make any threats, but his interlocking methods pushed us to the side of the Xiliang army step by step, without leaving any room for it. "

"According to what the leader said, is it true that the general did not recruit us sincerely, but has another purpose?" Wang Dang asked suspiciously with a sad face.

"No, you can't say that." Zhang Yan shook her head lightly, and pondered: "Whether General Li Li sincerely recruited us or not, we don't know yet, but I am very sure of one thing. This is the last three years. The states and counties under Li Li's rule successively took in millions of refugees and people who fled, and resettled them properly. Now, these people are self-sufficient, live and work in peace and contentment, and live a good life. Therefore, I do not regret joining the Xiliang Army , I am also very relieved to hand over hundreds of thousands of women, children and the elderly to him. It's just that after this battle, I don't know how Li Li will treat us yellow turban generals?"

"This general also has this concern. But it's still too early to say these things at this time, and we can only see the outcome after the war." Wang Dang hesitated.

"Huh?" Zhang Yan was startled when he heard the words, and said happily: "The words of the virtuous brother reminded me that if we want Li Li to think highly of us, our Black Mountain Army must show enough strength. Pass down the order and order the soldiers to take the previous The prepared white hemp is tied on the left arm, ready to fight with me!"

"No, the last general takes orders!" Wang Dang happily took the order and left, riding his horse to the army, while taking out a roll of white silk from his sleeve and tied it on his left arm.

Chapter 752

Da da da!

Wherever the cavalry went, dust was flying, and gravel was blown into the air, flying all over the sky.

The roar of the "rumbling" horse pedals resounded through the sky, like a rolling sea of ​​clouds sweeping towards the right wing of the Allied forces.

On the right wing of the Allied forces, the Wolf Cavalry was in front of the formation.

Seeing Xiliang war cavalry ignore Yuan Shao's army and go straight to the right flank to attack, Lu Bu, who was seriously injured, stared with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he could not contain his anger.

"It's really unreasonable! Thief Li didn't attack Yuan Shao's army, but took the lead in attacking our wolf cavalry army. Could it be that Thief Li really thinks that I, Lu Bu, are weak and can't be bullied?"

After angrily scolding, Lu Bu found that the 3 Xiliang iron cavalry in front of him was very familiar, and he seemed to have known each other. After he took a closer look, it was impressively that it was Long Xiang who defeated his wolf cavalry army head-on in the Battle of Bahe. Camp cavalry.

In an instant, Lu Bu's face changed again and again, extremely gloomy, and a few wisps of lingering haze appeared in his heart for no reason.

Lu Bu had already had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Longxiang Battalion's war cavalry, and had a deep memory, and he never forgot it in the past three years.Once upon a time, the wolf cavalry army fought on the battlefield for more than ten years without losing a single defeat.However, in the Bahe battle three years ago, the wolf cavalry army experienced defeat for the first time, and it was defeated in a head-to-head battle.And the war cavalry that defeated the wolf cavalry army head-on was the cavalry in front of them, the powerful Longxiang Battalion under Li Li's command in Xiliang.

After three years, the Longxiang Battalion War Cavalry appeared in front of the Wolf Cavalry Army again. What is the meaning of this move?This is clearly naked provocation and ridicule.It's even more ironic and deceptive!

At this moment, Lu Bu glared angrily.Burning with anger, he wished he could rush up and tear the Longxiang camp to pieces, killing them all, in order to vent his hatred.However, apart from being angry, Lu Bu did not completely lose his mind, especially when he saw that there were as many as [-] cavalry in the Longxiang Battalion.Even though he was burning with anger, he had no choice but to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart and treat it with caution.

Three years ago during the Bahe battle.The Longxiang Battalion only has [-] war cavalry, and its strength is far inferior to that of the Wolf Cavalry Army, and its weapons and equipment cannot be compared with that of the Wolf Cavalry Army. It is still in its humble beginnings.but.Under a bloody battle.The Longxiang Battalion fought on equal terms with the Wolf Cavalry Army forcibly, so that both sides suffered losses, and no one took the slightest advantage.

After an absence of three years, they are now facing each other head-on again.The Longxiang Battalion is no longer what it used to be. Its strength has been expanded by six times, with a total of [-] war cavalry. They also have thick armor, long soldiers and horses, and excellent weapons.It is already an elite of hundreds of battles tempered by battles.In contrast, although the strength of the Wolf Cavalry has also increased.It has expanded to [-] war cavalry, but the weapons, armor and war horses are not as good as before. The overall combat effectiveness has not increased much with the increase in soldiers and horses, and even declined.

In other words, right now the wolf cavalry army is mixed, and the most elite war cavalry is still Lu Bu's original cavalry.Although the remaining thousands of cavalry are also brave men with big arms and round waists, they fight independently, lack of training, and lack of tacit cooperation. After all, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the previous veterans.The most important thing is that the weapons and equipment of these re-recruited cavalry are not good enough. The horses alone are far worse than the veterans.

In addition, half of the [-] right-wing cavalry are Jizhou war cavalry under Yuan Shao's command. Although the leader of the army is also a brave and skilled fighter, he has a lot of criticisms against Lu Bu in private. .

These objectively existing unfavorable factors, before the war, Lu Bu could turn a blind eye and ignore them, but now he can no longer ignore them.

"Let's recruit general, this time the enemy cavalry we are facing is the most elite and most powerful Longxiang Battalion under Li Thief's command. Please, general, go all out to advance and retreat with our wolf cavalry! I wonder if the general can Do it?" Seeing that the war cavalry of the Longxiang camp were getting closer, Lu Bu's expression became more serious, and he turned his head and said solemnly to Qianzhao.

Qianzhao's expression changed slightly, with disapproval appearing between his brows, and he replied loudly: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen. Although the cavalry under the last general's record is not as outstanding as that of the wolf cavalry, they are not weak. I will never back down half a step!"

"Uh, that's very good." Lu Bu frowned, nodded and said, "I hope that the general will do what he says and fight bravely, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhaozhao's reply, Lu Bu raised the rein and raised his halberd immediately, and said sharply: "General Zhaozhao, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng will obey the order. This is the first battle of our allied forces. Success or failure is very important. You must fight against the enemy together. Go forward bravely and defeat the Longxiang camp. All the soldiers obey the order, follow me into the battle, and kill!"

"Kill Ya Da Da Da!"

With an order, [-] right-wing cavalry followed Lu Bu's leaping horse out of battle, one by one screaming and waving their horses, rushing towards the oncoming Longxiang Battalion war cavalry.

"Clang clang!"

In the blink of an eye, the war cavalry of the two armies facing each other brazenly met, and the sound of weapons clashing suddenly resounded through the sky.

At this moment, for the Longxiang Battalion and the Wolf Cavalry Army, it was no longer that the brave would win when they met on a narrow road, but that the enemy was extremely jealous when they met.Two powerful enemies on the battlefield meet again. In the eyes of the soldiers of both sides, there is nothing but blood and fire. This is destined to be a life-and-death fight between you and me.

In the menacing close combat, the sound of "dangdang" weapons colliding could be heard endlessly, and the sound of "puff puff" sharp weapons breaking into bodies continued continuously. Hundreds of cavalrymen from the two armies turned over and fell off their horses screaming, and then they were drowned in the endless running under the horseshoe.In this huge and noisy fighting sound, the sound of weapons clashing, horses neighing and shouting for killing is the mainstream, which has already covered up the miserable screams of dying and the wails of being trampled by horseshoes.

Life at this moment appears extremely contradictory, fragile and tenacious; the life of the killed is undoubtedly fragile, but the life of the murderer is so tenacious.

"Dang thud thump!"

Accompanied by a violent collision, Hou Cheng, the deputy general of the wolf cavalry army, leaned back and reined in his horse as if he had been struck by lightning. He did not stabilize his figure until he retreated a few steps.Immediately, he clenched the saber in his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his left hand, and then looked at the burly Xiliang general stopped by his own soldiers with a look of horror.

"Dianwei came from evil? No wonder he was able to push Zhen back a few steps in one move. It turned out to be him!"

Gasping for breath, Hou Cheng finally recognized that the general from Xiliang who vomited blood and repulsed him with a halberd was indeed the evil Lai Dianwei who had fought fiercely with Lu Bu for nearly a hundred rounds in the Battle of Bahe.

With a sudden change in his mind, Hou Cheng turned his horse and left, and turned to the battle formation of the Longxiang camp on the left, trying to avoid Dian Wei, and dared not fight Dian Wei head-on.Others may not know what Dian Wei's fighting strength is, but he, Hou Cheng, knows it all. He has witnessed Dian Wei's power with his own eyes, and he knows that he is no opponent at all. Fortunately, how dare you confront Dian Wei head-on again?

During the charging of the horse, Hou Cheng cut off two cavalrymen from the Longxiang Battalion with his sword in his hand. Out of sight, otherwise life is in danger.However, he never imagined that Dian Wei had already set his sights on him in that blow just now.

So, just as Hou Cheng beheaded two Xiliang cavalrymen, Dian Wei swung his halberd with his horse, and in the blink of an eye, he knocked down four of the four soldiers who blocked the way, and then galloped on his horse, staring closely at Hou Cheng. Chasing and killing them in the direction of fleeing.

At the same time, Li Zheng, the deputy commander of the Longxiang camp, met Lu Bu, Wen Hou, and Ma Dai, the captain of the Longxiang camp, also followed Wei Xu, Lu Bu's wife and brother. Meet face to face.Because when the two armies fought against each other, these generals charged forward, and they naturally met face to face.

Suddenly, soldiers fought against soldiers, generals against generals, and scenes of fierce fighting were staged, which can be called a fight between dragons and tigers.

While the horse neighed and charged, I saw Li Zheng wielding a saber and fighting with Lu Bu. The lightning-fast saber collided with Fang Tian's painted halberd frequently, and the fight was inseparable.Immediately, there was loud roaring and sparks flying, and Li Zheng actually blocked Lu Bu head-on. After the continuous confrontation, he did not lose the wind at all, and entangled Lu Bu for life.

This was the first time that Li Zheng confronted Lu Bu head-on. He did not expect that he could beat Lu Bu with his own strength.Before that, Li Zheng had self-knowledge. Although he was good at martial arts, he was still far from being a match for Lu Bu; Lu Bu was murderous.Unexpectedly, after three years, Li Zheng was able to fight evenly with Lu Bu, which really surprised him, and then his fighting spirit became high, and his attacks became more and more fierce.

After rushing and beating, Li Zheng suddenly saw that Lu Bu's arms and left abdomen were wrapped in white silk, and he was already seriously injured.Now, under the violent collision, the wound on Lu Bu's body was oozing blood again, so that his face was pale and his lips were purple during the battle, as if he had fought very hard.

Seeing this, Li Zheng finally remembered what his lord Li Li had told him before he left the station. Lu Bu had been severely injured by Huan Fei, and he was already at the end of his battle, that's why he was so helpless.Thinking of this, Li Zheng didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately acted with all his strength, attacking fiercely, making Lu Bu miserable, and retreating one after another.It's just that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Lu Bu was injured first, it is not something that Li Zheng can easily defeat or kill him directly.
