The five to six hundred people around Liu Bei were recruited by him with great effort. He did not want to fight with the Anping Army and lose his power in vain.
He no longer wants to live the life of a knight, he wants to stand out, change his family, and make a career.
He saw a new world, and he was not willing to live a mediocre life.
This team and the two strong men around him were the foundation for his start.
Unfortunately, this power may not be maintained. Liu Bei has already seen a large group of cavalry approaching in the distance. There must be at least two to three thousand cavalry, especially the armored assault cavalry that left a deep impression on him.
He lamented, he had less than fifty cavalry, how could the remaining five or six hundred infantry resist a large group of cavalry? Don't think about escaping, how could a two-legged one outrun a four-legged one?
Why did God treat him so harshly? He looked back at his soldiers, feeling pain in his heart like a knife.
"My lord, leave first. Someone will come and stop the rear." Guan Yu rushed to Liu Bei's horse and urged him to run for his life.
Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu was determined to die. This was not about cutting off the queen, but about committing suicide. He even swallowed more and said: "Yun Chang, let's go together, how can we leave Yunchang in this dangerous place?"
Guan Yu said urgently: "The enemy has many light cavalry, and it will be difficult to escape unless they are blocked."
At this time, Zhang Fei arrived on horseback and shouted: "Go quickly, go quickly, the cavalry brigade is coming. If you can't stop it, go quickly."
"Yide, protect the master and go first. I will arrive shortly."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How many cavalry can these infantrymen stop? It's important to escape together." Zhang Fei was anxious. He took a whip and whipped the horses of Guan Yu and Liu Bei randomly, driving the horses to escape. Liu Bei
His subordinates hurriedly followed, and the infantry under his command were able to follow him at first, but were left behind after a while.
The morale of these infantrymen was low. Before they could escape, they were overtaken by Yueqi. After a hail of arrows, they became prisoners of the Anping Army.
"I ordered Yueqi not to stop, and the detachment intercepted the enemy general in front. Xiaoqi left two troops and horses to follow me in pursuit, and the rest of the troops dispersed to intercept the defeated troops." Cui Yi spat bitterly. The enemy general ran too decisively, and he did not block it.
Well, this made him very angry.
Not to mention Cui Yi sent troops to intercept Liu Bei and others separately.
Shan said that Liu Xiang led his guards out of the camp to pursue the enemy. Halfway through, he received an urgent report from Yan Gang that the soldiers and horses of Zhuojun were stepping up their attack on Jixian.
Liu Xiangxin said that Zou Jing was very ruthless with his troops. He sent troops to be stuck at a distance of thirty miles from the city. It would be good if he could hold them. Even if he couldn't hold them, the Anping army would be hard pressed to gallop thirty miles to rescue them after a big battle.
It’s Ji County.
There is no doubt that these two thousand soldiers and horses were Zou Jing's abandoned sons and were left here to be eaten by Liu Xiang. Zou Jing wanted to use this time to storm the city. This was his last chance.
As soon as he entered the city of Ji County, Liu Xiang would not be able to capture him for a while.
This is what Zou Jing planned. He would first win the military glory of the Yellow Turbans in Guangyang, and then hold Jixian for a while. Then backup from Zhuo County would arrive, and powerful men from all over the country would be attracted by the military glory.
He can use these forces to kill the Anping Army. So what if the Anping Army has sharp armor? How can it withstand attacks from all directions?
At that time, he will have the great success of wiping out the Yellow Turbans in the two counties, and then go south to join Dong Zhuo, the general of Dongzhonglang. As long as he performs well, he will definitely be promoted to a higher rank, and then he will be able to serve in the center of the imperial court without wasting time in the north.
In the cold wind.
Although Liu Xiang did not guess Zou Jing's thoughts, he could still see the strategic intention this time.
"It's a good idea, but it's a pity that I have many chariots and horses, so you know what it means to have an army with great speed." He sneered, and then ordered: "Order Cui Yi to stop the pursuit and lead the Yueqi battalion to drive directly to the gate of Ji County to harass Zhuo
County soldiers and horses, interrupt their siege rhythm."
After thinking for a while, he gave the order: "Order Xiaoqi to move closer to our troops.
Order Wang Xing to mobilize 300 heavy vehicles and 1,000 pack horses, and then mobilize 100 supply vehicles from the light vehicle camp to transport all the crossbowmen of the Shesheng Battalion and 1,000 soldiers of the Guard Battalion to move closer to our headquarters.
I will take them as the second group and rush to Jixian. Wang Xing will lead the rest of the troops to the rear."
Not long after the order was issued, Tiqi rushed over at great speed: "Report, Lieutenant Cui was attacked by an enemy general and was seriously injured and fell into coma."
"What's the extent of the injury? Why was he attacked by surprise?"
Liu Xiang's heart skipped a beat. Cui Yi was his close friend and held a very important position in his heart. His status was different from that of others. Besides, the Xiaoqi camp was full of veterans who were good at fighting. This could make people rush into the battle.
?This is not a novel. No matter how fierce the general is, he can't withstand more than a thousand armored cavalry, right?
Liu Xiang didn't believe that there was such a fierce man in the world. He thought that he only needed fifty armored cavalry to kill the so-called fierce general.
"Colonel Cui led two troops of armored cavalry to pursue the enemy. When passing through a forest, they were attacked by three enemy generals. The captain fell off his horse and fell into a coma. The cavalry fought hard to repel the enemy troops and were sending the captain back to camp.
"
"Take me to see it."
"only."
When Liu Xiang found Cui Yi, he was lying on a Wugang vehicle. His armor had been removed. The doctors from the medical camp also looked at him. His arm was dislocated and three of his ribs were broken. Fortunately, his internal organs were not injured.
Liu Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, it was good that his life was not in danger.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. I am fine. I am protected by the precious armor given by my lord. The armor has not been broken, so there is no serious problem."
Seeing that Cui Yi was in good spirits, Liu Xiang was relieved and told him: "Zi'an should take good care of himself, and he is taking advantage of his illness to study."
Upon hearing the reading, Cui Yi's face turned bitter.
"It's not that I don't want to study. It's too difficult and I can't learn it."
Liu Xiang shook his head with a smile and stopped talking to him. If he was injured, it would be better to talk less and rest more. He ordered Cui Yi to be sent back to Lu County for recuperation.
After sending Cui Yi away, he summoned Xiaoqi, who had witnessed the battle, and asked him about the details of the battle.
Cui Yi was impatient and ordered Yueqi to intercept them in front. He only led more than two hundred riders from the Xiaoqi battalion to pursue the enemy.
More than 40 enemy troops were lying in ambush in the woods.
The three enemy generals at present reported their family names as Liu Xuande of Zhuojun, Yunchang of Guan of Hedong, and Zhang Yide of Yan.
They broke in from the flanks. Cui Yi and Zhang Fei met head-on. They fought each other. When the two horses kicked off each other, Cui Yi was knocked off his horse. Zhang Fei received a blow and was rescued by Guan Yu.
Relying on their strong armor, Xiaoqi fought closely with the enemy, killing more than 30 enemy soldiers and injuring more than 20 of our troops.
The fierce general named Guan Yunchang was extremely brave, and he protected the rest of the group from breaking out of the formation. Xiao rode on his first aid to protect Cui Yi, but did not pursue him.
Liu Xiang nodded and ordered them to return to camp and rest.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were really fierce. Three thousand cavalry were not able to block them. They led a sneak attack on the armored cavalry, defeated the general, and finally broke the formation and ran away.
Liu Xiang sighed, my fierce general brother, it's time for you to come!
Forget it, the most important thing now is not to let Zou Jing attack Jixian.
Tiqi, who had been sent out, was guiding all the troops to gather towards Liu Xiang, and he planned to lead Yueqi and Suwei first.
Wang Xing wanted to stay behind to clean up the mess and lead the remaining troops. Another person would not be able to suppress the officers of each team.
Who can lead the second team?
Liu Xiang looked around and saw that there was a shortage of people.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
