Chapter 215: A Thousand Xiliang Iron Riders (May 1st)(2/2)
Dong Zhuo was willing to spend real money on such a cavalry, because if used well, the Xiliang cavalry would become the key to determining the outcome of a decisive battle.
However, the high cost, including war horses, cavalry armor, horse armor, and cavalry spears suitable for the Xiliang cavalry, kept the number of heavy cavalry always limited.
With Dong Zhuo's current financial resources, he only had 3,000 Xiliang cavalry, and Hua Xiong was equipped with 1,000 Xiliang cavalry.
The perfect Xiliang cavalry should be equipped with Liangzhou horses and use Liangzhou generals.
At present, there are no Liangzhou generals in Chutian. Although Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were captured, they have no intention of being loyal to Chutian.
No, there is another Wang Fang. But giving Wang Fang the Xiliang cavalry to command is a waste...
The Xiliang cavalry are good things, much stronger than the Goguryeo heavy cavalry. Chu Tian ordered Zhou Yafu to watch and guard them to prevent them from being snatched away by other princes.
In the face of interests, alliance relationships are not reliable. Moreover, the alliance against Dong Zhuo is not an alliance in the true sense.
"Continue to pursue Dong Zhuo and see if we can catch any other generals."
Chutian has captured two generals under Dong Zhuo's command, one is Xu Rong and the other is Hua Xiong. Almost all of them were captured by Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, so there is no suspense.
Less than sixty miles away from Hangu Pass, the light cavalry of the Guandong princes had already caught up with Dong Zhuo and the lords of Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou, and the two sides were fighting!
Hangu Pass is a dangerous pass. If Dong Zhuo and others are allowed to cross Hangu Pass and then guard Hangu Pass with a military officer, Dong Zhuo and others will soon reach Tongguan and Chang'an, and they will be unable to catch up.
"Mediocre people dare to attack our army!"
Meng Tian dismounted one of Yuan Shao's generals, shocking Yuan Shao's army!
Yan Liang, under Yuan Shao, wielded his sword and led his cavalry to fight against Meng Tian, fighting with Meng Tian's Guanzhong cavalry!
The two camps fought fiercely, and thousands of soldiers and residents of Luoyang died in the confrontation.
The lords of Dong Zhuo's camp wanted to rob the population and hundreds of officials, and the lords of the Guandong princes' camp also wanted to plunder. What they coveted were war horses, gold, silver, and officials.
"Dong Zhuo's general flag!"
The allied forces of the Kwantung princes had gone crazy. Seeing Dong Zhuo's flag in the distance, they knew that something good was going on. Even the emperor was by Dong Zhuo's side.
The Chinese army that captured Dong Zhuo might be able to hold the emperor hostage and command the princes!
Lian Po in Bingzhou seemed to have triggered his characteristic, and the morale of the legion was greatly boosted. With the heavy infantry as the vanguard, they began to advance towards Dong Zhuo's general flag position!
Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji wanted to stop Lian Po, but he was defeated in front of the majestic Lian Po army, and his Xiliang cavalry was quickly destroyed!
Lian Po, the famous general of the Warring States Period, was powerful at Hangu Pass!
Dong Zhuo saw the flag of Jiuyuan County in Bingzhou advancing rapidly from a distance and was frightened to death!
He did not expect that there were such terrifying famous generals among the princes of Guandong. Lian Po's army was simply unstoppable and invincible, and the Xiliang cavalry could not compete at all!
"Where is my Xiliang Iron Cavalry? Where is the Flying Bear Army? Where is my son Fengxian?"
Dong Zhuo fell ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry, but he did not expect that one thousand of the Xiliang cavalry were captured by Chu Tian, and another two thousand were in the hands of his son-in-law Niu Fu.
After the meeting, Lu Bu was besieged by the princes of Guandong again, and his vitality was severely damaged.
Under the fierce offensive of the famous Warring States general Lian Po, Dong Zhuo ignored the chaotic officials and left with only the emperor and the protection of his own soldiers.
Shi Wansui of Wei County in Jizhou led a cavalry assault. He was not afraid of the Xiliang cavalry. He even picked dozens of Xiliang cavalry under his horse. He was unstoppable!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei finally had a chance to show off, showing the world how powerful they were against ten thousand enemies, setting their horses on the enemy lines and killing them wantonly!
"If Chu Zimou hadn't repeatedly grabbed the credit, the second brother and the third brother would have become famous all over the world."
Liu Bei thought that his credit had been taken away by Chu Tian several times, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had never become famous among the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but now he finally had the opportunity to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a chance to perform.
Xia Houyuan led the cavalry to attack in a sudden attack. Although he was not at the level of the Five Tiger Generals, Xia Houyuan was still considered a group of generals below the Five Tiger Generals. The cavalry he led could only be said to be very fast!
Dian Military Academy Captain Xia Houyuan, five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days!
Xia Houyuan responded with bows and arrows, and the Xiliang cavalry on the opposite side fell in response.
"Zhang Bao, Liu Zongmin, we don't want to join the war. Let them consume each other's strength. I don't care about this military exploit. Let's just transport the population back to Hanzhong."
Zhang Dao, the leader of Hanzhong, led the peasant uprising army to drive away the civilians in Luoyang and left secretly.
He was unwilling to participate in the war between the East and West lords, but fished in troubled waters and tried to remove as many of Luoyang's population as possible. Moreover, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness, as if someone had the same characteristics as him as a "great teacher".
There were also powerful lords in Dong Zhuo's camp. Wang Yanzhang, the general owned by the lord of Longxi, held a 100-jin iron gun and led the Longxi cavalry to destroy Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei who came to pursue him. Xia Houyuan saw that Bao Xin, who was close to Cao Cao, was attacked and asked the king.
The iron gun fired a cold arrow, but Wang Yanzhang lightly knocked him away with the iron gun.
After Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Hua Mulan and Li Guang captured Hua Xiong, they continued to attack without stopping.
Hua Mulan's Iron Eagle scouts were the fastest, weaving in and out, and cooperated with the reinforcements to attack Dong Zhuo.
She caught a glimpse of Dong Zhuo being chased by Lian Po and Shi Wansui during the rebellion and fled to Hangu Pass.
The emperor has been taken away by Dong Zhuo.
