Liu Xin was heartbroken because he watched his Jingzhou cavalry fall off their horses one after another when the torrent collided. Not only because these broken cavalry were weapons for him to conquer the world, but also because of the living young lives.
With his order, he was separated from his relatives from now on.
What was even more shocking was the group of cavalry blocking their way. The Bingzhou elite cavalry had never taken a serious look at these cavalry from the south. Even the Luoyang cavalry and Xiliang cavalry did not take them seriously. However, as soon as they met,
During the battle, their own soldiers were cut off one after another. When the two sides charged, reined in their horses and faced off again, the Bingzhou elite cavalry were surprised to find that the opponent had lost at most five to six hundred people, while their side had lost at least two.
Thousands of people have lost the ability to continue fighting.
They were not afraid of death. When the Jingzhou cavalry rushed over, they abandoned their bows and arrows and picked up their swords. Cavalry and archery were their best fighting method. By doing this, they were determined to die. They wanted Lu Bu's success.
Transferring buys time. However, these Jingzhou cavalry in front of them are more fearless than them, and their riding skills seem to be more exquisite. Almost no one uses their hands to control the horses, and they can perform various stabbing movements gracefully.
Before they could figure out what was going on, the opponent's Jingzhou Army launched again. This time, the Jingzhou Army's attack was even more violent. They were obviously inspired by the results of the previous battle. There were no drums to help, or even shouts, they just felt
When the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, it was shocking. The two armies collided again, and some people kept falling off their horses. They could not even utter a death scream before they were drowned by the rolling torrent without a trace.
After the second wave of attacks, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. There are still about 4,000 Jingzhou cavalrymen, while there are only less than a hundred Bingzhou Jingqi left. Because Liu Xin has given an order not to let anyone go, these about 100 Bingzhou Jingqi are still there.
They have been surrounded. No matter which direction they break out, they will only die. However, they came here under Lu Bu's order this time and have no intention of returning alive. As long as they can buy enough time for Lu Bu, they will
Satisfied.
Liu Xin knew that as long as there was another wave of charges, the nearly 100 people surrounding him might all fall. However, they showed no fear in the face of Jingzhou cavalry that was dozens of times their size. The remaining Bingzhou cavalry gathered around a man holding a long weapon.
Next to the young man with the big sword, this young man is obviously their leader.
Facing this group of opponents who put life and death at risk, Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly respect him. He quietly made a gesture, and with the support of the generals, he came closer and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo's cruelty and unkindness has made the sky angry.
Liu Mou respects all of you as heroes. You have sacrificed your lives for this evil thief and feel it is not worth it. I hope you can listen to Liu Mou, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and turn around."
The young man at the head sneered and said: "Who is Dong Zhuo? He deserves us to serve him. The one we respect is Lu Bu, the best hero in the world!"
Before sending troops, Liu Xin ordered the phantom secret agents to collect detailed information about Dong Zhuo's troops. After listening to what this young man said, Liu Xin could conclude that these cavalry were the Bingzhou army who followed Lu Bu and surrendered to Dong Zhuo.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, and then her face darkened, and she said: "Lu Bu can be considered the number one hero in the world? Yes, his martial arts may be outstanding among the heroes, but his character, Liu really dare not compliment him! Back then, Ding
Your Excellency regards him as your own son, but he is greedy for glory and wealth, and betrays his father for glory. You follow him all the time, but he puts you in danger and treats you as an abandoned son. Is this kind of person worthy of being called a hero? It is really great.
joke!"
Back then, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo. Most of the Bingzhou Army soldiers fled Luoyang and returned to their hometowns. The five thousand people who stayed behind followed him because they admired Lu Bu's martial arts. They never seriously considered Lu Bu.
Is this right or wrong? After listening to Liu Xin's words, they couldn't help but hesitate and looked at the young man who was leading the group.
As Liu Xin spoke, she observed carefully and found that the young man also had a look of shame on his face. He couldn't help but feel refreshed and continued: "Lu Bu is a villain who is unjust for profit, but you are all loyal people. I can't bear it."
I will drive you all to death. My brave man, do you dare to challenge one of my generals to a duel? If you win, I will let you go. If you lose, you must surrender to the light and obey my orders from now on."
The young man hesitated for a moment and then said: "Let's fight one on one, Zhang Liao has nothing to fear! However, I have a condition. If I win, you must agree to stay here for one day and then send troops to Luoyang.
"
When Liu Xin heard that he was Zhang Liao, she became more willing to accept him. However, she refused the conditions he proposed and said, "Other conditions can be discussed, but I will never agree to this condition."
Zhang Liao's purpose is obvious. He just wants to buy time for Lu Bu. This is also the primary task of Lu Bu sending them here. These five thousand cavalry do not obey Zhang Liao's orders. They only obey Lu Bu's orders, but Zhang Liao is obviously very popular among them.
Prestige. According to Zhang Liao's original estimate, five thousand men could hold off Liu Xin's army for at least half a day using a mounted and archery strategy. However, when the Jingzhou cavalry charged out with swords, the soldiers of the Bingzhou army abandoned their bows without much thought.
Changing his sword and facing him, Zhang Liao couldn't restrain himself at all, so he had to use the big sword. How could Zhang Liao have thought that with only two short charges, he would only have less than a hundred people left on his side.
Liu Xin did not agree to his conditions, so Zhang Liao was not in a hurry. He had been briefly embarrassed just now, but his determination to serve Lu Bu prevailed again. Zhang Liao wanted to try his best to delay, so he deliberately slowed down his tone and said, "Why, sir?"
Don't you dare agree to my conditions? Are you worried that your men will lose? Or you can't wait any longer and are rushing into Luoyang to fight for power. If that's the case, it's okay not to compete."
Liu Xin knew clearly that he was trying to delay time, but she was not in a hurry at all. She just shook her head and said lightly: "Is there anything I can't wait for? Let alone one day, it doesn't matter if I stay here for two more days. But, Luoyang's
The people have been tortured by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and they are in dire straits. I can wait, but they cannot wait! If you don't want to fight alone, then I will order an attack."
Zhang Liao knew that as long as the Jingzhou Army charged again, there would be few men left around him. How could he stop Liu Xin's army from moving north? Zhang Liao was quite confident in his martial arts. In his opinion, there was no one left in the world except Lu Bu.
, there is no other person who is his opponent, and under his full defense, even Lu Bu will have to wait for more than 200 rounds to win, so he quickly said: "Okay! I promise you! Which of you will fight me to the death?"
Liu Xin turned her head and looked behind her. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong were all eager to try. Liu Xin knew that in terms of personal martial arts, these four people should all be superior to Zhang Liao, but this time he was in a strong position against Zhang Liao.
Zaibei wanted to convince him of his defeat, so he pointed his finger at Huang Zhong and said, "Han Sheng, go and fight him. I promise to win but not lose!"
After receiving the order, Huang Zhong excitedly urged his horse and rushed out. The other three people all had expressions of regret on their faces. Seeing this, Zhang Liao also rode forward to meet him, and the two of them fought together. They fought for a long time.
After more than a dozen rounds, Zhang Liao knew that Huang Zhong's martial arts skills were unfathomable and that he could not win in a hurry. Zhang Liao was determined to delay time. In order to save energy and deal with Huang Zhong as long as possible, he immediately changed his strategy.
, only defending but not attacking. Although Huang Zhong's martial arts is better than Zhang Liao, it is very difficult to win under Zhang Liao's full defense.
The two fought fiercely for more than a hundred rounds, but it was still hard to tell the winner. Seeing that Zhang Liao's defense had no flaws, Huang Zhong came up with a plan, deliberately pretending to be anxious, using his arms harder and harder, launching a new attack like a storm.
** Attack. Seeing that Huang Zhong's attacks were getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Liao secretly sneered. No matter how fiercely Huang Zhong attacked, he only used a big sword to make the water flow.
Gradually, Huang Zhong showed signs of fatigue, and his sword skills also slowed down. Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, and still only defended but did not attack. It was not until Huang Zhong's sword skills were full of flaws that Zhang Liao fought back. With two consecutive sword blows, Huang
Zhongdu barely escaped, and dangers arose for a while. After more than 20 rounds of fighting, the offensive and defensive positions of both sides gradually changed, and Zhang Liao's sword was already faster than the other. Huang Zhong saw that the situation was not good, took a peek, turned his horse and left
.
Zhang Liao knew in his heart that this man was actually the most powerful enemy he had encountered after Lu Bu. Given such an opportunity, he would not let him escape. He had to get rid of this henchman and then quickly, so he rode in hot pursuit. As he was chasing, suddenly, suddenly
Hearing the sound of a bowstring, Zhang Liao tilted his head subconsciously, only to see Huang Zhong holding a stiff bow, aiming at him, but not releasing an arrow. Zhang Liao picked up his sword and rushed again, but there was another sound of bowstring, but still no one was seen.
The arrow was shot. Zhang Liao was furious and chased him wildly. The third bowstring sounded, and he saw three arrows shooting in succession: "swish, swish, swish".
These three arrows came one after another, but Huang Zhong controlled the force very well and shot in front of Zhang Liao almost at the same time. Zhang Liao swung his sword and knocked out an arrow on the left. Then he tilted his head and hit the middle arrow.
An arrow hit his helmet, and he flew over with his tassel. However, Huang Zhong's third arrow hit Zhang Liao's horse. The horse screamed and knocked Zhang Liao to the ground. Huang Zhong's third arrow hit Zhang Liao's horse.
After Zhongsan finished firing his arrows, he immediately hung up his bow and turned back to fight. With a wave of his sword, he placed it on Zhang Liao's neck. Before Zhang Liao could struggle to get up, soldiers swarmed up and held Zhang Liao firmly down.
Liu Xin glanced at Zhang Liao who was being escorted in front of him, waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to let him go, and said: "Zhang Liao, a man should keep his word. You have lost, and you should obey my orders from now on.
"
Zhang Liao is indeed a good man. After hearing what Liu Xin said, he said seriously: "Since I lost, I don't have anything to say. However, I have finally dragged you here for a long time, so I am worthy of my respect."
Liu Xin couldn't help but praise: "What a great Zhang Wenyuan. He has been trusted by others and has been loyal to his duties. He is a truly loyal and righteous man!"
Then, he changed the topic and said: "However, although you have held me back, you have not been able to hold back my 30,000 troops. They should have arrived at Luoyang City by now."
