Chapter 201 The first battle against Lu Bu(1/2)

Sun Jian held a big sword and fought among the rebels. Soldiers and horses from Xiliang and Guanzhong were everywhere!

He was plotted by Xu Rong and was besieged by Xiliang generals. Lu Bu attacked from the rear, and a thousand Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong were ready to attack!

The Xiliang cavalry are the heavy cavalry that roam Liangzhou in "Lords". They are the elite of the Liangzhou cavalry. Some of their generals are even equipped with the Liangzhou horses that Chutian saw in Luoyang Horse Market!

Hua Xiong wore a heavy heavy cavalry armor and raised his sword high: "Let the young men from Guandong see the power of the Xiliang cavalry. All the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy general Sun Jian!"

Thousands of Xiliang cavalry lowered their spears and pointed their spears directly at Sun Jian's army, which was fighting fiercely with Xu Rong.

"kill!"

Hua Xiong roared, and a thousand Xiliang cavalry clamped their horses' bellies and charged!

The ground is shaking, the shock cavalry is used to decide the victory!

Sun Jian's army will not be easily defeated. Even if Xu Rong and Lu Bu have the upper hand, they will not be able to defeat Sun Jian for a while.

Hua Xiong, the temporary commander of the Xiliang cavalry, galloped over!

The Changsha soldiers recruited by Sun Jian from Changsha County felt the ground shaking and looked around uneasily, only to see a heavy cavalry wearing razor-sleeved armor and skirts entering a charge!

At this time, Sun Jian's army, which was restrained by Xu Rong and Lu Bu, was unable to change its formation. Some archers tried to use horizontal arrow rain to stop the Xiliang cavalry.

The sharp arrows shot hit the horse's breastplate, grazed the iron sheet, and sporadic sparks flew, but were bounced off by the breastplate.

The arrows shot by the low-level archers looked weak in front of the Xiliang cavalry!

"Shield Lancers in formation!"

Cheng Pu realized what it meant to be penetrated by heavy cavalry and tried his best to maintain the formation.

The shield spearmen gathered, but before they could build a phalanx of more than six rows of spears, the Xiliang cavalry had already crashed into the army!

The infantry archers in the front row were knocked down, their iron hooves were raised high, and they were trampled down!

Hua Xiong waved his sword, cutting down the infantry archers along the way, and went straight to Cheng Pu! Cheng Pu blocked Hua Xiong's sword with his iron-spine snake spear. The impact bonus brought by the heavy cavalry made Cheng Pu almost lose the iron spear in his hand.

!

The Xiliang cavalry moved forward inexorably. Cheng Pu and his soldiers were trapped in the siege of the Xiliang cavalry and were in danger of being killed at any time!

Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a high-level heavy cavalry. Even historical generals have a high probability of being killed by pigs!

Cheng Pu was submerged in the torrent of steel from the Xiliang cavalry. Hundreds of soldiers around him were washed away, and he was in danger!

Huang Gai and Han Dang risked their lives to save Cheng Pu, killed two Xiliang cavalry, and saved Cheng Pu!

The Xiliang cavalry are still charging forward and have already penetrated Sun Jian's army!

Hua Xiong charged and killed more than 20 people with his own hands. His sword and armor were stained red with blood, and his momentum was even worse!

After piercing through Sun Jian's army, the Xiliang cavalry regrouped and adjusted their formation to prepare for another attack.

Zu Mao protected Sun Jian: "My lord, we have too few troops and horses, and the other side has Xiliang cavalry. It is better to retreat temporarily and join up with the reinforcements from the rear!"

Sun Jian rode a war horse and killed several Xiliang cavalry. His armor was stained red with blood. The morale of his army dropped sharply due to the ambush and the impact of the heavy cavalry of Xiliang cavalry. It was on the verge of collapse at any time. It was just a matter of continuing to fight.

The lives of soldiers were sacrificed in vain.

An army lacking morale, tens of thousands of people, might be chased by dozens of enemies.

"withdraw!"

Although he was unwilling, Sun Jian was unable to resist Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong. The three tiger generals joined forces and fought and retreated with the remaining troops.

The ground trembled again. The heavy cavalry led by Hua Xiong turned their horses around, adjusted slightly, found a good direction, and launched a second heavy cavalry attack on the retreating Sun Jian army!

The retreating Sun Jian army was unable to organize an effective defense, and the Xiliang cavalry once again penetrated the army!

"Where is Sun Jian?!"

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were in hot pursuit. A general who was even more ferocious than Hua Xiong led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to attack Sun Jian, killing numerous people as well. Fang Tian drew a halberd and chopped down the infantry archers along the way!

The Bingzhou wolf cavalry was delaying Sun Jian's withdrawal, Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry kept breaking the formation, and Xu Rong's Liangzhou light cavalry army was about to catch up. Sun Jian and the four Jiangdong generals were in a very dangerous situation.

Sun Jian faced not only the opponent's famous generals, but also the special units Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Dong Zhuo thought highly of Sun Jian and was also afraid of him. He directly sent three powerful generals and gave a thousand Xiliang cavalry to Hua Xiong's command to defeat Sun Jian.

"Whoever captures Sun Jian alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and ten fine horses!"

Xu Rong took command and sent two cavalrymen to circle around, intending to surround Sun Jian and completely destroy Sun Jian's army!

Sun Jian had few troops, only 15,000 troops. Xu Rong deployed 70,000 troops in Xingyang, 30,000 of which were cavalry. No matter what, he had to capture Sun Jian's army that penetrated deep into the enemy's territory!

"Sun Jian has been able to persist until now, and he is already a strong enemy. We cannot let him leave, otherwise he will cause endless trouble to us."

Xu Rong knew that the reason for Sun Jian's defeat was simply the difference in troop strength between the two sides. Sun Jian only had 15,000 soldiers, most of whom were Jingnan soldiers recruited from Changsha County. He lacked cavalry and was at a numerical disadvantage. If the two sides had the same troop strength, Xu Rong might not

Will defeat Sun Jian.

It was this that made Xu Rong fearful of Sun Jian.

"I, Lu Feng, will take over Sun Jian's head first!"

Lu Bu had just surrendered to Dong Zhuo and needed to make military exploits. Capturing Sun Jian alive would be a good opportunity to prove himself to his adoptive father!

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and charged left and right among the new soldiers in Changsha County. The defeated troops along the way were difficult to stop!

Sun Jian saw a general holding Fang Tian's painted halberd coming towards him, and slashed at Lu Bu with his sword!

Fang Tian's painted halberd collided with his ancient ingot sword, and Sun Jian's jaw went numb: "What a strong force!"

"Lord, I'm here to help!"

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao teamed up to fight with Lu Bu on horseback. However, due to the small space, at most two or three people at a time could actually assassinate Lu Bu at close range.

Behind Lu Bu, there were also the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that the Bingzhou Governor had finally recruited for Lu Bu. At this time, they all became Lu Bu's subordinates.

Several fierce generals followed Lu Bu on horseback and intercepted and killed the four Jiangdong generals. One of the generals held a crescent halberd in both hands and swept across all directions. His force was second only to Lu Bu!

Jiangdong's four generals may not be enough to watch in front of Lu Bu's subordinates!

Lu Bu attacked fiercely, but Sun Jian was defeated. The situation was very bad.

If this continues, Sun Jian's entire army will be wiped out!

An arrow came and was split open by Lu Bu with his Fangtian Huaji!

It was also a Fangtian painted halberd that forced Lu Bu to return to defense, and Sun Jian was able to escape!

"Who are you?!"

When Lu Bu saw that the prisoner he was about to capture was trying to escape, he became furious and directed his anger at the young white-robed general who came to kill him.

The opponent also uses Fang Tian Hua Ji, and his force is not weak!

Xue Rengui was still in the growth stage, and faced Lu Bu who was at his peak and was at a disadvantage.

"Since we can't catch Sun Jian, then I'll catch you and take the credit!"

When Lu Bu was about to deal with Xue Rengui with all his strength, another young general in silver robe came and stabbed Lu Bu with a red tassel spear!

Lu Bu faced the attack of two young men in white robes at the same time, but it was a bit unbearable. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun had a slight friendship during this time, and they joined forces together, and their power increased greatly!

Zhang Liao saw that Lu Bu was being attacked by two young men in white robes, so he took the initiative to come to support Lu Bu with a halberd.

Lu Bu, who was supported by Zhang Liao, was not afraid and wanted to defeat the two white-robed generals by himself.

Sharp arrows were fired, and Xue Rengui's Tang cavalry played an important role in the rear, injuring the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

"My lord has an order, don't be greedy for war, just save the governor of Changsha!"

Xue Rengui originally intended to join forces with Zhao Yun to fight against Lu Bu, but when he saw Xu Rong driving his army to attack him, if he did not retreat, he and Zhao Yun might be trapped in the enemy's thousands of troops.

Even if they are against ten thousand enemies, they dare not say that they can survive among thousands of troops, let alone generals such as Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, as well as Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Langqi and other high-ranking generals.

The ranks of cavalry were everywhere.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Lu Bu caught Xue Rengui fighting, trying to kill this young general who used the same weapons as him. Otherwise, once Xue Rengui was allowed to grow up, it might affect his status in the future.

The archers of the Tang Dynasty did not hesitate to use up the sharp arrows in their quivers and shoot down the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry behind them.

After Hua Xiong led the Xiliang cavalry to penetrate Sun Jian's army for the second time, it would take time to reorganize the formation. For the time being, there was no threat to Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun.

The biggest threats are Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the main Xiliang light cavalry commanded by Xu Rong. Once the light cavalry bites them, it will be difficult to escape.

Just when Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun were in a bitter battle, Sun Jian, as the Jiangdong Tiger, counterattacked with a small number of Jingnan cavalry!

As the sand and dust rolled, Hua Mulan appeared and joined forces with the cavalry commander Xia Houyuan who came to support. They flanked Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's cavalry on the left and right!

Whether Hua Mulan or Xia Houyuan, they can increase the speed of the cavalry. Although their effect is not obvious at ordinary times, they can play a vital role in battlefields that require quick maneuvering reactions!

Two roundabout light cavalry put pressure on Lu Bu's wings, and the morale of Bingzhou's wolf cavalry was dampened.

"General, don't pursue me too deeply!"

Lu Bu, who wanted to pursue Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Sun Jian after Zhang Liao tried to stop them, was worried that the cavalry on the left and right wings would be unable to block Hua Mulan and Xia Houyuan's pincer attack and fall into a counter-siege.

Hua Mulan and Xia Houyuan's light cavalry did not easily attack the high-level Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but used bows and arrows to mount and shoot on the outside. Seeing Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun rescued Sun Jian and Jiangdong's four generals before evacuating.

It was not Hua Mulan, Xiahou Yuan did not want to take the opportunity to eliminate Lu Bu, but Xu Rong's more than 60,000 soldiers and horses gradually arrived from behind. Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not be able to capture it for a while, and attacking Lu Bu with all his strength would only lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
