No one could have imagined that the victory of the Battle of Jinghe would be decided in just three days, and the 120,000 Euphorbia warriors of the Great Chu, who were the most powerful in the world, would become the turtles in the urn of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry:
First, Yuan Zuozong's 15,000 cavalry completely devoured the 30,000 Euphorbia soldiers placed in front;
Then, Chu Lushan's 30,000 light cavalry sneak attacked the rear of the Euphorbia soldiers, causing the Jinghe defense line of 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers to be on the verge of collapse;
The Euphorbias are most praised for their heavy armor and Euphorbias. After losing half of the Jinghe defense line, it means that the 100,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry no longer need to engage in a frontal offensive and defensive battle with the Dachu Euphorbias. You are a slow marching Euphorbia warrior, why do you ask me, the Northern Liang cavalry, to fight you?
Xu Xiao's brother-in-law Wu Qi and Xu Xiao's adopted son Yuan Zuozong used 50,000 Beiliang cavalry to block the Euphorbia soldiers' retreat. Just waiting for the next 200,000 Xu family troops to arrive, they will eat up all the remaining Euphorbia soldiers in one fell swoop...
As for Xu Xiao, he personally led 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry guards and all the infantry battalions to the West Barrier. He wanted to see how Soldier Saint Ye Baikui could clean up this mess in Da Chu. Unexpectedly, the attack on Dachu this time was faster than the last time on the Northern Han Dynasty. Xu Xiao felt puzzled. If Ye Baikui knew that the defense line of 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers collapsed and capsized overnight, would he be so angry that he vomited blood and died?
Chu Lushan received the military order and led 10,000 light cavalry as the vanguard to arrive at the Western Barrier. Xu Xiao made a good time difference. Taking advantage of the fact that the Chu court still didn't know what happened at the Jinghe defense line, it was best to deceive as many Qingqi from the West Barrier garrison as possible, and eat as much as they could...
Chu Lushan was extremely insidious. Even though his adoptive father Xu Xiao had given him 10,000 Qingqi, this guy only took 3,000 men and went to burn the military rations. Moreover, this guy was so arrogant that even the food road was cut off to the bottom of the west wall. Not to mention the tattered camouflage clothes on their bodies, the weapons and equipment of the three thousand Qingqi looked like they had been worn out by intense battles. Obviously, Chu Lushan knew one thing very well: Da Chu could not be allowed to think that the 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers had failed, and the Da Chu court must be given the illusion that it was just a small group of Beiliang light cavalry that broke through the Jinghe defense line!
This kind of transaction can only be done once, because Da Chu is not a fool. Although Chu Lushan's Partridge Battalion had already shot down all the gyrfalcon feathers of the Great Chu Euphorbia warriors immediately, they did not give these beasts a chance to report the news. But if no news came back after a long time, Dachu would naturally know that there was a problem with the Jinghe defense line.
Regarding the appearance of three thousand Northern Liang cavalry in the West Barrier, the West Barrier garrison was panicked at first, but they quickly got "feedback":
This light cavalry obviously broke through the Euphorbia blockade after a bloody battle;
The purpose of this light cavalry is to cut off the rear of the Euphorbia warriors and cut off supplies;
After Chu Lushan cursed no less than 30,000 words of obscenities without repetition, the defenders of the West Barrier finally realized that they had been insulted in vain. The general guarding the west wall was very cautious and sent out 3,000 light cavalry to eat this foul-mouthed 300-pound fat man in one fell swoop. This kind of thing suited Chu Lushan very well. He could clearly eat the 3,000-man light cavalry of Dachu in one go. Chu Lushan was very If you want three thousand versus three thousand, I will die for two thousand and you will die for me.
Just under the west wall of the city, Chu Lushan killed the opponent's light cavalry of 3,000 men. The general who defended the city at West Barrier was definitely an honest man. He watched his three thousand light cavalry die in the battle, so he sent out another three thousand light cavalry. Chu Lushan originally wanted to say a few harsh words, but after seeing the menacing Three Thousand Qingqi, he slapped his ass and left. Not to mention how exciting the scene was, the two light cavalry were approaching less than a hundred meters apart, one behind the other.
Chu Lushan's acting skills are really top-notch. Not only did he kill a light cavalry of 3,000 men, but he also told the defenders of the West Barrier that there was a problem with the supplies of 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers. You know, Chu Lushan burned a batch of ordnance and food that had just been transported out of the city in front of Xi Lianbi. Uncertain of how many Beiliang cavalry fought desperately to break through the Euphorbia defense line, the West Barrier Wall could only send out as many cavalry as possible to protect the weapons and supplies. And this was Chu Lushan's purpose. He wanted to let Xi Leibi know that the Beiliang Cavalry had decided not to collide with the Euphorbia warriors in front, but to set the real battlefield on the periphery of the Jinghe defense line. As long as the West Barrier is unable to import enough food, grass, ordnance for the Jinghe Defense Line, the Beiliang Cavalry will win the final victory.
Today, rather than saying that Chu Lushan was showing off his power, it would be better to say that he came to declare war on behalf of the Beiliang Cavalry!
As expected, West Barrier was fooled and immediately reported to the Dachu court. Xu Xiao decided to let a small group of cavalry break through the Jinghe defense line at any cost, just to cut off the Euphorbia soldiers' supplies and set the battlefield outside the Jinghe defense line. The Great Chu Court also recognized this statement. No one would believe that the 120,000 Euphorbia warriors of Great Chu would be defeated in two days. As a soldier sage, Ye Baikui was keenly aware of something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In the end, Ye Baikui gave this suggestion. Before Xu Xiao's Beiliang cavalry had penetrated into the rear of the Euphorbias in large numbers, he suggested that the West Barrier should deliver sufficient supplies to the front line in the near future. In Ye Baikui's view, for every five thousand Beiliang cavalry that attacked the Euphorbia's Jinghe defense line, the number of cavalry who could make it to the other side of the river alive would not exceed three thousand. Since Xu Xiao is willing to sacrifice his Beiliang cavalry like this, Da Chu should accompany him to the end.
The next day, the defenders of Xilebi received the court's decision, requiring Xilebi to replenish as many weapons and supplies as possible for the 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers in the shortest possible time. In order to deal with the small group of Qingqi from Beiliang, the number of Qingqi transported by Xibibi this time reached 6,000...
Chu Lushan watched the supplies and 6,000 men and horses walk out of the West Barrier. He knew that this was probably the last deal. After he had eaten this batch of supplies and the 6,000-man light cavalry, he thought that the defenders of the Western Barrier would never show up again, and Da Chu would also know what was going on.
Chu Lushan's style of play is to die together. As the saying goes, those who are aggressive are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. As long as Chu Lushan is more desperate than the enemy, he will definitely be able to eat the opponent. After paying 4,000 Qingqi, Chu Lushan ate all the 6,000 Qingqi and the supply convoy who came out of the west wall, leaving no one alive.
...
Just when Chu Lushan used the 10,000 light cavalry given to him by his adoptive father Xu Xiao to kill 9,000 of the opponent's men at the cost of 6,000, new changes occurred in the Jinghe defense line!
Chu Lushan was the vanguard, and Xu Xiao, the great general, was extremely irresponsible and led his 10,000 snow dragon riders to the west wall...
Zhao Changling and Li Yishan stayed because they wanted to help Lu Bu take over the upcoming 200,000 Xu Jiajun in the shortest possible time. These 200,000 Xu Jiajun are only Xu Jiajun in name. Some of them are from Liyang, and a larger part are from Jiangzu. The internal composition is quite complicated.
Lu Bu woke up, and woke up as quickly as possible, otherwise Wu Su wouldn't know what strange things he was going to do to his body. Xu Xiao left a full 50,000 cavalry to defend against the Euphorbia soldiers. Wu Qi and Yuan Zuozong would not give any chance to lose the Euphorbia soldiers. When Lu Bu woke up, Xu Xiao immediately met his adopted son:
First of all, it was another boring promotion three levels in a row, from a sixth-grade flying cavalry captain to a fifth-grade mounted cavalry captain;
Then, Xu Xiao gave Lu Bu a task. Use the shortest time to break up the 200,000 Xu Jiajun, and use the shortest time to eat all the Euphorbia soldiers. In one week, Xu Xiao will see the 200,000 Xu Jiajun at the West Barrier in full order. If Lu Bu cannot do this, military law will be engaged.
It seems that Xu Xiao also knew that his trip was not very safe, so he took away the sword attendant Zhao Yutai, and instead left Wu Su in the care of Lu Bu. When Xu Xiao made this decision, he kept looking into Lu Bu's eyes. In terms of looking at each other, Lu Bu has never lost to anyone. His gaze is firm and leaves no room for anything. Among Lu Bu's adoptive fathers, Xu Xiao is a very special one, because Lu Bu has no reason to kill this man yet: "General Chen Zhibao, take your orders!"
