"Did Shan Hao die?" Hu Zhen's face was pale and his tone was trembling: "How did you die?"

The Xiliang cavalryman said hurriedly: "Shan Xiaowei was sitting at the entrance of Beicheng Street, commanding the soldiers to attack the north of the county. Unexpectedly, the enemy thieves were cunning and sent warriors who were not afraid of death to charge. Shan Xiaowei was caught off guard and was killed by the enemy thieves.

Wang, Xu and the two commanders will take charge of the overall situation and lead the troops to temporarily withdraw from Beixian County, but Sun Jian himself has integrated his troops and headed straight for West County!"

Sun Jian is here?

Hu Zhen took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, cursed Shan and said: "I have no plans for him, it is in vain that I have to cultivate him, he even took the risk and was taken advantage of by the enemy and thieves. His death is a small matter."

, but it ruined the important matter of this Protector!"

Lu Bu said unhurriedly: "Daddu, we are surrounded by counties on all sides and it is difficult to capture them. Now that one side has been defeated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on to these three sides."

Lu Bu's unhurried look made Hu Zhen even more angry.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, the Xiliang generals were the most powerful, but Lu Bu, as the governor of the Bingzhou army, relied on the followers of the Bingzhou army and never respected the Xiliang generals and disdained to associate with them.

The relationship between the two parties is quite unharmonious.

The Xiliang military captain died, but Lu Bu felt nothing.

"What should we do based on Fengxian's opinion?"

Lu Bu said calmly: "For the time being, it is better to withdraw our troops."

Hu Zhen's heart sank.

He knew that the sky was starting to get brighter, and Sun Jian's offensive at the north gate was broken up. If he arrived later, he might not be able to attack the west city side. Now was not a good time to continue the stalemate with Sun Jian's army.

Hu Zhen felt quite depressed.

Originally, according to the order of the Prime Minister, he only needed to get rid of the seven thousand Jingzhou troops.

Who would have thought that the Jingzhou Army and Sun Jian were jointly stationed in Yangren and received the protection of Sun Jian's army.

To destroy the Jingzhou Army, you must first destroy Sun Jian...

There is probably no one in the Xiliang army who can do it.

Hu Zhen and Sun Jian have been fighting for half a year, and they lose more than they win.

If the night attack suddenly fails today, I am afraid that it will be impossible for the Jingzhou Army to take action in a short period of time.

Lu Bu was right, and now we have no choice but to give up.

But Lu Bu's look really made Hu Zhen uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Hu Zhen seemed to vaguely hear shouts and shouts coming from the north.

It's Sun Jian.

Although there is still some distance, since the other party's voice can be heard, I am afraid that the other party will arrive on the battlefield soon.

It would be quite unlucky to be attacked by Sun Jian and Cheng Pu's troops guarding the west.

Hu Zhen made a decisive decision and ordered Lu Bu: "First of all, I will order all the troops and horses to retreat temporarily. After you break up here, don't let Sun Jian's army march to the west of Liyangren!"

"kindness?"

Lu Bu frowned, feeling quite displeased: "Let someone cut off the queen?"

Hu Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Why, this protector no longer even has the power to cut you off?"

Lu Bu took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to kill him with a spear.

Hu Zhen made it clear that he wanted his Xiliang army to withdraw first, and let his Bingzhou army stop Sun Jian's army and Jingzhou army for him.

What kind of arrangement is this?

Doesn't this mean that the Bingzhou army is used to defend the Xiliang army?

However, the military orders were like mountains. Hu Zhen was the Protector after all, and Lu Bu was under his control. He could not disobey the military orders and could only accept them.

After Lu Bu responded to Hu Zhen's military order, Hu Zhen immediately ordered the Xiliang army in the west to give up the attack on the county, and Zhuo ordered the Xiliang army in the east and south to withdraw, leaving Lu Bu's Bingzhou army behind and let the Xiliang army in the west retreat.

The Liang army had enough time to evacuate.

Cheng Pu, who was responsible for guarding the west side of Yangren, was quite experienced. After seeing the Xiliang army withdrawing, he did not rush out of the county to pursue it. He just ordered the soldiers of various ministries to re-build the defenses on the streets and stand ready to prevent the Xiliang army from going.

And return.

As far as Cheng Pu was concerned, chasing the enemy and performing meritorious deeds was a small matter, but following orders and protecting Yang talents was a big deal.

Not long after, the troops from Beicheng, led by Sun Jian, Sun Ben and others, arrived in the west of the city.

Hu Zhen's soldiers and horses have slowly withdrawn, while the Bingzhou Army who stayed here to break up the rear is setting up a formation outside the county, carefully watching Sun Jian's army's every move.

Lu Bu did not dare to show any slightness, because he had also fought against Sun Jian in the past six months.

According to Sun Jian's character, he was suddenly attacked tonight. Now that he is at a disadvantage and has a chance to fight back, he will naturally not let it go in vain.

If he could bring out all the Bingzhou troops, Lu Bu would not be afraid of Sun Jian.

However, Dong Zhuo had some reservations about Lu Bu. This time he asked him to come to Yangren to help out, but he only brought 10,000 Bingzhou soldiers.

It is true that Lu Bu had many cavalry, but this was not a problem in Sun Jian's eyes. Firstly, this was not a plain, and the enemy's cavalry had limited attack capabilities.

Secondly, Sun Jian also fought against the opponent many times, and to some extent he knew the tactics of the Xiliang Army or the Bingzhou Army.

He is not afraid of losing, but he is afraid that the opponent will not dare to fight.

Seeing that the Bingzhou army was in formation, Sun Jian then ordered Sun Bi and Zhu Zhi: "You two, each lead his troops and horses to go around from the left and right, rush into the formation from both wings, and see the Xuan Jia riding a red war horse in the center.

Are you general? That is Lu Bu, who is in charge of the Bingzhou Army for Dong Zhuo. You lead your troops to take a detour. If you get close to his range, order your bows and crossbows to shoot randomly at his location. It is best to kill him!"

"only!"

"only!"

…

Not long after Sun Jianjun arrived in the west of the city, Liu Qi led Wenpin and Huang Zhong straight through the county from the center of the county, meeting up with Li Dian and Zhang Yun along the way, and finally meeting up with Cai Xun, Kuai Yue and other troops, and passed through Cai Kuai

The two men guarded the pass in the west of the county and came to the outside of the county to watch Sun Jianjun's battle with Lu Bu.

When Liu Qi and others arrived, Sun Jian had already fought with Lu Bujun.

Cai Xun looked at the battle in the distance and asked: "Sir, Sun Jian has rushed into the Bingzhou army formation. What should I do? Can I help you?"

Liu Qi nodded and said: "We are all allies, so we need help, but Sun Polu is a competitive person. Since he has already fought with the enemy, you can't fight with him rashly. You only need to start from

Provide support and help him kill the enemy."

"only!"

Liu Qi raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the opponent's military formation, wondering: "I don't know who is leading the soldiers and horses that have been cut off?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kuai Yue said from the side: "Yue Shicai consulted with Cheng Pu and found out that the other party was the Bingzhou Army led by Jiuyuan Lu Bu."

"Is it him?" Liu Qi's heart trembled.

The name Lu Bu is really familiar to Liu Qi.

In Mr. Luo Guanzhong's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu rides on the most powerful war horse and the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He is invincible with a square halberd. He dominates the world and can defeat thousands of people...

Of course, that is a fabrication of the novel. On the real battlefield, no matter how good Lu Bu is in fighting, he cannot single-handedly influence the situation of the war.

As an excellent general, he may be able to lead his soldiers to charge into battle, kill enemies and achieve great feats, thereby boosting morale. However, no matter how good he is in fighting, if there are no outstanding soldiers as a foundation, the final result will be nothing more than a failure.

The halberd sank into the sand.

Liu Qi and Kuai Yue stayed where they were, and he sent Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Li Dian, Cai Xun and others to help Sun Jian.

…

Sun Jianjun has already fought against Lu Bujun. The tactics of both sides are very similar. They both break into the opponent's formation as quickly as possible and fight at close range.

According to Liu Qi's concept, the best way to fight against a force with more cavalry led by Lu Bu is to use a hail of arrows to inflict heavy damage to the enemy, and then take advantage of its turmoil to engage in conflict.

It is best to avoid close combat with the opponent.

But it is obvious that when facing cavalry from different regions, the same tactics cannot be used, and tactics must be changed according to local conditions.

The reason why Sun Jian quickly engaged Lu Bu in hand-to-hand combat was because Lu Bu's cavalry were not just good at charging... they were also good at shooting!

Those Bingzhou cavalrymen were all county soldiers from Bingzhou. Bingzhou had been an important area for border garrison in the Eastern Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. It was a vast and sparsely populated area, and it was a close cousin to Liangzhou. There were constant wars and sparsely populated areas. It was considered a very vicious land.

Since the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court is located in Meiji County, Xihe County, Bingzhou, and triggers wars from time to time, the overall combat quality of the Bingzhou cavalry is quite high.

Perhaps it was because they had been dealing with the Southern Huns all year round, and the Bingzhou cavalry had very strong cavalry and shooting abilities.

Youzhou cavalry also has this characteristic.

Sun Jian seemed to be well aware of the strength of the Bingzhou cavalry, so he did not adopt a strategy of damaging the enemy from a distance.

Although the opponent has many war horses, they are around the county town after all. The mountains and forests here are thicker, and there is little room for turning around and charging. Fighting them at close range can kill the enemy to the greatest extent by assassinating the war horses.
