After listening to what Lu Bu said, Liu Ming felt that it was reasonable. He also felt that Dong Zhuo could not possibly send a general and dare to come to charge his army. Then Dong Zhuo must have ambushed the troops secretly. It's just that
He just sent this general to attract his attention. So Liu Ming nodded and said to Lu Bu: "Okay. Then you will go to fight the incoming general first. However, the enemy cannot come alone. There must be troops and horses hidden.
In the dark. You have to be more careful. I will lead the army to meet you later."
Lu Bu said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Taiwei." Then he turned around and rode on horseback to face the incoming general.
Liu Ming also said to the civil and military ministers: "The enemy general is very brave, why don't we go and take a look?"
The ministers in the court, even those who disagreed, all agreed: "It should be so. We are willing to go."
At that moment, Liu Ming led Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and others, accompanied by Manchu civil and military personnel, to the front of the two armies' formation.
At this time, Lu Bu was fighting with a general who was wearing blood-red armor, killing them inextricably. And behind this general, there was not the army that Liu Ming imagined. He was alone.
Liu Ming looked at this enemy general strangely, wondering why this enemy general was so bold. But when Liu Ming took a closer look, he felt that this enemy general looked so familiar.
At this time, Huang Zhong was worthy of being a marksman. His eyesight was very good, and he could clearly see the appearance of the person coming. He quickly said to Liu Ming: "Master, please stop them quickly. It's Zilong."
When Liu Ming heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder he looked familiar? He quickly sent an order to stop the confrontation between Lu Bu and Zilong. The military academy under Liu Ming quickly shouted Liu Ming's order. Suddenly, a huge
A voice came out: "General Lu, General Zhao, and Lord Taiwei have orders: stop immediately. They are all our own people."
When Lu Bu and Zilong heard the shouting, they stopped fighting and returned to Liu Ming's team.
Lu Bu was very depressed at this time. There must be too many capable masters under the command of Lieutenant Liu Ming. Not to mention the three generals Zhang Fei who may be better than him in martial arts, or Huang Zhong, whose archery skills are better than his own.
Judging from his demeanor, his martial arts skills should not be weaker than his own. Moreover, if Guan Yu, the second brother of the Taiwei, was able to subdue the general Hua Xiong, his martial arts skills should also be strong. Although I have not personally witnessed Guan Yu's skills.
I've seen it before, but I don't think it's good. But I know very well what Hua Xiong's skills are, and I was just able to beat him just now. Now there's another such a powerful master, who can actually fight against me.
It's hard to tell. Although this person was injured by an arrow when he did it, he was not able to use it well. He was not in his full state. But this person was also in a state of exhaustion from fighting all the way. Such a powerful master could actually
He is also a subordinate of Lord Taiwei. It seems that if I don't work hard in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to get ahead under Lord Taiwei.
Liu Ming waited until Zilong came closer, and then he saw that Zilong had changed the color of his armor. It was clearly covered in blood, dyeing a handsome young general with a silver helmet, silver armor, and plain robes.
He became a god of death in blood-red armor. Liu Ming thought that Zilong was seriously injured, and glanced at Wei Xu displeased. Hou Cheng said, "Why did you two fight against my General Zilong? And he was seriously injured.
so?"
Wei Xu quickly said: "My lord, forgive me. When this general came out from Dong Zhuo's army just now, he was already like this. The two of us saw him rushing over like a murderer, and we were afraid
He shocked my lord, so I intercepted him. Neither of us knew this general, and he did not give us his surname either. That's why we had these misunderstandings. Please forgive me, lord."
Hou Cheng also hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord. We don't know this general either."
Zilong was a man of righteousness. He heard that Liu Ming wanted to blame Wei Xu and Hou Cheng. He also mentioned the two of them and said kindly: "Thank you for your concern, my lord. Yun was not harmed. The bloodstains on his body were all from Shicai."
He contracted it when he was fighting in the chaos. Moreover, Yun Gang just killed so fiercely in the chaos that he was intercepted by these two unknown generals, which led to this misunderstanding. Fortunately, these two generals
Because of his superb skills, Yun Cai did not do anything he would regret for the rest of his life. Yun Cai apologized to several generals here."
After Zilong finished speaking, he quickly came to Liu Ming, bowed to Liu Ming and said, "My lord, Yun has urgent and confidential matters that I want to report to my lord."
Liu Ming knew that Zilong would not come here all the way from Youzhou if he had no major problems. He quickly said to the civil and military ministers who accompanied him: "Gentlemen, this was all a misunderstanding. This person is also my general.
You brought me some personal matters from your home in Youzhou. I am sorry that you have been frightened and thanked you for your hard work. My lords, please go to your tent to rest in peace. After I have finished handling these personal matters, I will take care of you and apologize."
Those civil and military ministers who didn't know what to do, all said goodbye one after another and went back to the camp to rest. At the same time, they secretly admired Taiwei Liu Ming's command, and they were really full of fierce generals.
Liu Ming led Zhao Yun and Guo Jia to his tent, and ordered Dian Wei to guard outside the tent. He immediately asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, what is the important matter? You must come here specially to report."
Zilong whispered to Liu Ming: "My lord, something serious has happened. Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, together with Gongsun Zan, the prefect of western Liaoning, joined forces with Fuyu, Goguryeo and others to send 400,000 troops and besieged our Ji County. And Wuhuan
Nanlou also took advantage of the situation to launch an attack and raised an army of 150,000 to avenge the death of Su Shuang. They are attacking our Tianma City."
When Liu Ming heard this, his head buzzed. Although when he left, he had already expected that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan might make some small moves, so he deliberately left most of his troops to guard You.
Zhou, but this time Gongsun Du and the others have gone too far. Do they have so many soldiers and horses?
At this time, it became clear that Guo Jiade was important. Guo Jia calmly whispered to Liu Ming: "My lord, the matter has come to an end, there is no point in worrying. Let's just listen to Zilong narrate everything, and then
It’s not too late to discuss countermeasures in detail.”
Liu Ming suddenly understood and said quickly: "Zilong, tell me what happened in detail."
Zhao Yun responded: "Yes." Then he described what happened to Liu Ming in detail.
It turned out that only half a month after Liu Ming led his troops and left, Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, and Gongsun Yu, the prefect of Xuantu, rebelled.
In the past few years when Liu Ming was developing Youzhou, Gongsundu also vigorously expanded his strength. Moreover, during these years, due to the remote location of Liaodong, there was also Gongsun Zan, the governor of western Liaoning, in the middle, and Liu Ming's intelligence
The officials were not very clear about the actions of Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong. They only heard Gongsun Du's battle reports occasionally, so Liu Ming and others did not think anything of Gongsun Du. But in fact, Gongsun Du relied on the two counties of Liaodong and Xuantu.
With his strength, he first subdued the surrounding small tribes, then captured Lelang, led the two counties of Fang, and made the Mahan and other tribes surrender. Gongsundu only had great strength, and he himself had no less than twenty-five
Ten thousand troops.
But Gongsundu was not satisfied with this, and then sent troops to attack Goguryeo.
At this time, the new king of Goguryeo, Bogu, was in power. When Bogu was in power, he fought with the Han army many times and attacked Goguryeo and other counties on the Han border. Gongsundu used this as an excuse to attack the Han army.
He defeated him and made Bo Gu work for him.
After the new king was conquered by Gongsun Du, he immediately sent Dajia Youju and Zhu Ran to assist Gongsun Du and annihilate the Fushan bandits together. After that, Gongsun Du married his eldest daughter to his husband, King Yu, to make her loyal to him.
.
The 400,000 troops that Gongsun Du raised to attack Liu Ming this time were his own 250,000 troops, plus Fu Yu's 100,000 troops, and Goguryeo's 50,000 troops. As for Gongsun Zan, there was no surprise.
There were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the change. Wuhuan's Nanlou might have secretly exchanged information with Gongsundu. When Gongsundu and others sent out troops, they also devoted all their efforts to fight for their old friend Su.
In the name of justice, they sent 150,000 troops to attack Liu Ming's Tianma City.
After Yang Jun got the news that Gongsun Du, Nan Lou and others were sending out all their troops, he immediately ordered Zang Ba to lead 5,000 black armored troops to restore the status of Youzhou soldiers and horses, and lead another 10,000 infantry to support Tianma.
City. Zang Ba wanted to fight according to the city, hold back Wuhuan Nanlou's army, and wait until he had defeated Gongsun Du, and then jointly sent troops to annihilate the Nanlou clan. Yang Jun himself led Tuoba Ying, Zhao Yun and others
With 20,000 strong cavalry, 30,000 assault cavalry, 10,000 archers, and 10,000 heavy infantry, a total of 70,000 horses came out of the city to meet Gongsun Du's army when Gongsun Du's army came. Only one man was left behind.
Hua Tuo led 10,000 light infantry and 10,000 archers each to guard Ji County.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan had long known the advantages and disadvantages of Liu Ming's armored cavalry, so they secretly trained 50,000 halberd soldiers to deal with Liu Ming's armored cavalry. Although these halberd soldiers could not break the armored cavalry.
Heavy armor, but ten of these halberdiers formed a spear formation. When the heavy armored cavalry charged, they could knock these heavy armored cavalry off their horses. No matter how powerful the heavy armored cavalry was, they fell under the horse.
That's it. Even if the enemy in front is not killed, the teammates behind may trample to death these heavy armored cavalry who fell off their horses.
Moreover, the halberd soldiers trained by Gongsun Du were not afraid of being unable to poke Liu Ming's heavy armored cavalry. Even if they did not poke these heavy armored cavalry, they could still use the halberd wings on their halberds to hook these heavy armored cavalry.
Under the horse, the halberd wings can also damage the legs of the heavy armored cavalry. It can be said that the halberdier has completely restrained the advantages of the heavy armored cavalry.
Without Yang Jun's precautions, Youzhou's heavy armored cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Liu Ming's assault cavalry was quite capable of killing these halberdiers and saved these heavy armored cavalry troops.
Unexpectedly, another accident happened at this time. Although Gongsun Zan only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zan learned from Liu Ming this time and followed the policy of elite soldiers. He spent a lot of money and bought it from Chen Han
Numerous armors and 10,000 soldiers and horses were all heavy armored cavalry. Gongsun Zan took advantage of Yang Jun's command of strong cavalry and assault cavalry to fight, and commanded 10,000 heavy armored cavalry to attack Yang Jun's own team.
, and Gongsun Du's army also rushed up. Originally, Yang's army could kill Gongsun Du's army and stop it with the help of the box crossbows of the 10,000 archers at this time, but although these box crossbows shot
It was fast, but unfortunately the range was shorter, and the power was not enough to penetrate the armor of Gongsun Zan's heavy armored cavalry. The 10,000 heavy armored infantry in Yang Jun's hands could not stop the impact of Gongsun Zan's 10,000 heavy armored cavalry.
, Yang Jun's formation was defeated by Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop.
Then Gongsun Du's army became even more unstoppable. Thanks to Zhao Yun's desperate struggle, Yang Jun managed to restrain the remaining defeated generals and retreated to Ji County City. Relying on the repeating crossbow developed by Ma Jun, and With catapults, Gongsun Du's army was driven back, and Gongsun Du's army also took advantage of the situation and surrounded Ji County City.
After Yang Jun counted the remaining troops, he found that of the 20,000 armored heavy cavalry, less than 8,000 were left. And the 10,000 archers and 10,000 heavy armored infantry had suffered all casualties. Only 30,000 were left. The casualties of the assault cavalry were not serious. Yang Jun suddenly felt that he was sorry for Liu Ming's trust, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
Thanks to Hua Tuo, Yang Jun was able to save his life.
Originally, after this, the goshawk should be used to convey the news to Hou De in Luoyang, but when Dong Zhuo took control of the government and Liu Ming was preparing to go out, Hou De received an order from Liu Ming to withdraw to Youzhou. It's here. If you send the message with the goshawk at this time, no one will definitely receive it. In desperation, Yang Jun had to send Zhao Yun to break out of the siege and report to Liu Ming for help. At the same time, he asked Zhao Yun to contact Guan Ning, Hua Xin and others. People, gather troops and horses to prepare to rescue Ji County.
Zhao Yun lived up to his trust. Among Gongsun Du's 400,000 troops, he killed more than 30 generals and countless small soldiers, and finally broke out of the siege.
After Zhao Yun contacted Guan Ning, Hua Xin and others, he realized that the soldiers and horses in Youzhou had always been dispatched by Liu Ming. The soldiers and horses under Guan Ning and others were just ordinary soldiers and horses left behind. Moreover, the soldiers and horses from all the counties gathered together were only more than 40,000. Compared with Gongsun Du's 400,000 troops, it was really a drop in the bucket. Guan Ning and others had no choice but to wait until Zhao Yun reported the news to Liu Ming. , and then unified deployment. Now we can only let Yang Jun stay in Ji County and wait for reinforcements.
Fortunately, Zang Ba led 5,000 black-armored troops to guerrilla outside Tianma City, while he led 10,000 infantry troops to garrison Tianma City together with the original 10,000 defenders of Tianma City. Wu Huan was stunned. Lou's 150,000 troops blocked the outside of Tianma City, making it difficult for Wuhuan Nanlou's troops to reach the hinterland of Youzhou. After Zhao Yun got the news, he rushed to Luoyang non-stop to report to Liu Ming. When Zhao Yun got close to Luoyang, he heard the location of Liu Ming's army and hurriedly rushed towards him. On the way, he encountered Dong Zhuo's scattered army, so he continued to fight all the way, and this was the scene.
