The first in line is the Danyang soldiers, who are Tao Qian's trusted troops. He himself is from Danyang. As an old warlord in Xuzhou, although Tao Qian does not have good generals in his hands, he has an elite "Danyang soldiers" who can
He was accustomed to fighting, endured hardships and stood hard work, and had the style of Xiang Yu's disciples. History records that "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are numerous and energetic, good at martial arts, and have noble strength, which is a land of elite soldiers." Later, when Liu Bei reinforced Tao Qian, Tao Qian presented him with several
Thousand Danyang soldiers were given to Liu Bei. Later, when Liu Bei moved to fight thousands of miles away, it was this elite army.
Among the 20,000 troops Tao Qian brought to attack Dong Zhuo this time, 10,000 were Danyang soldiers.
After the Danyang soldiers came the trapping camp. The trapping camp was a unique force with a small number but extremely fierce combat. Its commander was Gao Shun, Lu Bu’s general. He was known as Gao Shun. He commanded more than 700 soldiers and was named
Thousands of people, their armors and equipment are all refined and neat, and every attack is broken. Their commander Gao Shun is "innocent and dignified, does not drink alcohol, and does not receive gifts." Wen Yuan had seen Gao Shun training when he was in Bingzhou, although at that time he only had
In its early form, Wen Yuan knew how tyrannical this soldier was!
Moreover, during this trip to Hulao, Wen Yuan is very likely to run into a trap that has been trained by Gao Shun!
In addition to Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers, among the five princes, there is also a powerful cavalry, which is Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong!
When Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought against each other in history, it was said in history: "Zan loved white horses and rode them many times to defeat the captives. The captives called him the 'White Horse General'. Therefore, he selected three thousand elite men and rode them all on white horses, giving them the name 'White Horse Yi Cong' to effectively imprison the guards."
Ye." Gongsun Zan became famous for his bravery and heroism in the battles with the northern minorities. He was good at using double-headed iron spears. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" says: "Zan often rides on white horses with dozens of people who are good at shooting.
They thought they had left and right wings, so they called themselves "White Horse Yi Cong". Wu Huan even told each other, "Avoid White Horse Yi Cong for a long time." "Baima Yi Cong was so powerful outside the Great Wall. Although there were only a few people at the beginning, its scale continued to expand. This time the crusade against Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan brought more
Among the five thousand Youzhou cavalry, there were a thousand white horse Yi Cong. Unfortunately, in the war of the Three Kingdoms, the White Horse Yi Cong was just a shooting star. After only a short period of glory, he was defeated by Yuan Shao's general Ju Yi in the Battle of Jieqiao.
Annihilated.
It is worth mentioning that some information mentions that Zhao Yun was originally one of the White Horse Yi Cong, which can be regarded as retaining the seeds for this elite soldier. Moreover, "The Legend of Heroes" records that Yuan Shao heard this conversation about the White Horse Yi Cong...
Shao laughed and said, "There is a 'White Horse Yi Cong' there, and there is a 'Euphorian Soldier' there. Are you afraid? He opened his jaw and said, "Junyi, I will destroy it for you!" He looked at himself without saying a word.
Wen Yuan knew that Zhang Jia was very good at training soldiers, so he had great expectations for the Euphorbia warriors that Zhang Jia would train in the future.
In addition to these three powerful troops, there will be another five powerful troops in the future, namely Qu Yi's Xiandenshishi, Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Liu Bei's White-Er Soldiers and Zhuge Liang's Unrivaled Army.
Become a flying army!
Qu Yi, the leader of the soldiers who first ascended the camp to die, defeated Gongsun Zan's attack of more than 10,000 cavalry with 800 soldiers who died in the first camp in the Battle of Jieqiao. Among them were elite white horse Yi Cong! During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling, grandson of Li Guang, led his troops
Five thousand advance troops and many Danyang soldiers went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and met 80,000 Xiongnu troops. Five thousand soldiers died with crossbows. They persisted for ten days, fought thousands of miles, and killed tens of thousands of enemies! In the end, there were still 400 people.
Break the siege!
Arriving first with a powerful crossbow is definitely a weapon to restrain the light cavalry charge!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is an elite cavalry unit that Cao Cao formed before and after the Battle of Guandu. This cavalry was carefully selected and equipped with the most sophisticated armor weapons at the time. Because of its extremely strong combat effectiveness, it looked like a tiger when fighting.
As brave as a leopard, it is called "Tiger and Leopard Rider"!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has a very small establishment, with no more than 10,000 people at most. However, the selection of this unit is extremely strict. Those selected are "all the best in the world! Or they can be replaced from a hundred generals." They are truly the best of a hundred! They can serve in ordinary troops
The general is just an ordinary soldier in "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". You can imagine that his combat effectiveness is the top among the troops of the Three Kingdoms.
There were two Xiliang cavalry in the history of the Three Kingdoms. One was Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, and the other was Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry. Although they were both cavalry, they developed in different directions. Dong Zhuo's army
Heavily influenced by the nomadic armies such as the Huns, they focused on cavalry and maneuverability. The cavalry was mostly light cavalry. The cavalry under Ma Chao was an elite cavalry similar to Western technology and equipment. The cavalry was mostly equipped with javelins and heavy shields, and was strictly trained and disciplined.
, forming a dense formation when charging, very similar to ancient Rome!
It's just that this cavalry is not a heavy cavalry in the true sense. What they are most afraid of are the crossbow troops, and their mobility is not as good as the light cavalry. They are also at a disadvantage when fighting against the enemy.
The White-Er Soldiers are Liu Bei's personal bodyguards. Liu Bei has been fighting all his life. The White-Er Soldiers beside him are naturally experienced in the turmoil of war. When talking about the White-Er Soldiers, one cannot fail to mention their commander Chen Dao. Chen Dao, nicknamed Shuzhi,
A native of Runan, he followed Liu Bei and experienced hundreds of battles. After the establishment of the Shu Kingdom, he was granted the title of Marquis of Ting, General of the Expedition to the West, and assisted Li Yan in guarding Baidi. The Shu army in Yiling was defeated, and Chen Dao and Fu Tong broke off. Fu Tong died in battle, and Chen Dao led Bai'er.
Hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of guns were able to stop the Wu army's pursuit. The combat effectiveness of the Bai'er soldiers is evident.
As for the Wudang Feijun, they were the ethnic minority troops formed by Zhuge Liang after he conquered Nanzhong. In order to completely avoid the resurgence of the southern separatist forces, the Shu Kingdom spared no expense and moved its best soldiers from Nanzhong. More than ten thousand Qingqiang families were settled in Shu, forming five tribes.
The Wudang Feijun were named Feijun. This is the origin of the Wudang Feijun. After the members of this army arrived at Shu County, they became military households of the Shu Kingdom. They made a living as soldiers for the Shu Kingdom for generations and became professional soldiers.
They are all wearing iron armor and can climb mountains and ridges. They are good at using crossbows and poisonous arrows, and are good at field battles. Because they have weapons such as horse nails and crossbow arrows and the ability to grasp the terrain, they are very good at defensive operations. They accompanied Wang Ping on his northern expedition to Qishan Mountain several times.
Make great military exploits.
Among the eight powerful armies of the Three Kingdoms, two of them are Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers and Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong! And in front of Hulao Pass, there is Gao Shun's trapped camp waiting there!
Zhang Yang had been walking side by side with Wen Yuan. He saw with his own eyes that his soldiers were being thrown away by Wen Yuan's soldiers for a long distance. His face was really unbearable and he asked with a wry smile: "Brother Wen Yuan, what are you doing?"
It only took half a year. It's really impressive! How come you have trained your soldiers to be so elite? I believe that you have worked hard on training your soldiers in the past six months. I also fought several battles with Black Mountain bandits to sharpen the courage of your soldiers. I thought that my soldiers have already been trained.
They are elites. I don’t want to know that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky when I see them today.”
Wen Yuan was about to say a few words of humility when he heard the sound of a bell ringing behind him. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also rushed here. Before they even got close, Zhang Fei's thunderous voice sounded: "Brothers from the Zhang family, go slow, my eldest brother and I
