Zhang Xiu's original intention was to fight for a while, then retreat immediately when the situation turned bad. If he suffered battle damage, he would be able to explain it after he returned.
Prime Minister, it's not that we don't fight hard, it's just that we have never fought before.
After all, there were obviously more men and horses coming out of the city than himself. Based on his previous experience in fighting Liu Bei's army, Zhang Xiu had no hope of victory at all.
But as soon as he handed it over, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why is the enemy so weak!
You are weak. You dare to confront me. Who gave you the courage?
Don’t you know that we Xiliang warriors all grew up on horses?
What's going on with this crushing feeling?
Zhang Xiu felt happy here, but Wang Gong on the other side was complaining again and again.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, his army was overwhelmed by Zhang Xiu.
The 5,000-strong army was like a thin page of paper, torn from the middle by the Xiliang army led by Zhang Xiu, and was unable to stop it.
Although Wang Gong tried his best to organize his troops, he still couldn't resist the look of fear on the soldiers' faces.
Most of the princes in Guandong were appointed by Dong Zhuo. As soon as they took office, they raised the banner of anti-Dong, and then began to recruit troops and rushed to the Jujube Alliance without stopping.
After everyone got together, they started eating, drinking, and exchanging business blows.
Where does one find the time to train soldiers?
So despite the overwhelming number of coalition troops, their subordinates are all new recruits who have never seen blood. ,
What was even worse was that the first time they went into battle, they encountered the Han's most elite Xiliang cavalry.
It's like you've left the novice village and encountered the ultimate BOSS before you've even collected a set of equipment.
Then there are only two consequences: death; or... an ugly death!
If Wang Gong could have some self-awareness, form an advance army with infantry, stand ready in front, and desperately block Zhang Xiu's first wave of charge, there would still be a possibility of counterattack.
But Zhang Heng gave the Suizao princes an illusion in advance - Dong Zhuo is now an old house on fire. As long as everyone rushes up and kicks him, the Xiliang army will be defeated in an instant.
Therefore, Wang Gong was tragic.
Zhang Xiu tore through Wang Gong's array with a single charge, splitting the five thousand army into two halves in the middle. The army became chaotic and disorderly on the spot, and even Wang Gong's military orders could not be conveyed.
Then, Zhang Xiu woke up from the initial shock, revealed a sinister smile, and started harvesting.
Two thousand Xiliang cavalry, led by Zhang Xiu, rushed left and right, charging and killing the rebel army wantonly, like plowing the ground to loosen soil, turning over Wang Gong's army.
This is the tactic that the Xiliang Army is best at. It relies on its absolute advantage in mobility to dismember the enemy into pieces, making it difficult to form an effective counterattack.
Back then, he played a decisive role in facing the border troubles in Liangzhou and quelling the Yellow Turban Army.
Facts have proved that it still has miraculous effects in the face of the jujube coalition!
In less than half an hour, Wang Gong's army changed from a team that still looked like an army to a complete mess.
After the soldiers were dispersed, they all looked frightened. The two groups were fighting, not knowing their way back. If it weren't for the city wall behind them, they would have fled long ago.
Then, Zhang Xiu started his own killing show.
"Steady, steady!"
Wang Gong shouted loudly among the rebels, but it had no effect.
Except for the hundreds of soldiers behind him who were still in a large scale, the other teams were in pieces and were to the point where they could not be pieced together and integrated.
This can't go on like this!
Wang Gong's brows were furrowed. He was already in a state of confusion. When he was thinking about how to integrate his soldiers, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the front.
"The thief will die!"
Then, Wang Gong saw a white-robed young man holding a silver gun and killed him.
As we all know, white robes and silver armor are the most fashionable equipment on the battlefield, and they are the focus of everyone's attention. Unfortunately, not many people dare to wear them.
Before he traveled back in time, Zhang Heng had imagined that he would go back to ancient times, wear a white robe and silver armor, and go into battle, leaving behind a beautiful legend that the king's generals would not stay in prison, and thousands of troops would avoid the white robes.
It wasn't until he traveled back in time that he realized how ridiculous this idea was.
Without him, the mortality rate would be too high!
White is too conspicuous and can indeed attract other people's attention, but it will also make you the target of enemy attacks for the first time, and the consequences are self-evident.
Zhang Heng has not yet realized that he would sacrifice his life just to show off.
Of course, not everyone can wear it, such as Zhang Xiu on the battlefield at this moment.
Although Zhang Xiu has a straight temper, his head is not bright, and he is even a bit stupid. But he dared to wear white robes and silver armor on the battlefield, and even wore them for so many years, which is enough to prove that he has two brushes.
At least it's not something Wang Gong can deal with.
The silver gun was thrust out and aimed directly at Wang Hu's throat with a few piercing sounds, intending to kill him with one blow.
Wang Gong was shocked when he saw this and complained in his heart, so he had to quickly raise his gun to resist.
But Zhang Xiu's strength obviously exceeded his expectations. He had just blocked Zhang Xiu's first shot, and before he had time to react, the second shot came.
Why is this guy's marksmanship so sharp?
Seeing that there was no hope of resistance, Wang Hu subconsciously ducked sideways.
But at this moment, Zhang Xiu suddenly showed a proud smile.
If I had known you would hide!
But can you escape?
With a flick of his wrist, the silver spear seemed to be alive, tilted sharply, and stabbed Wang Hu's shoulder heavily.
"It hurts me too!"
Wang Gong screamed and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Xiu's silver spear to prevent him from knocking him off his horse.
But how could his strength compare to Zhang Xiu? An unshakable distance came, and Wang Hu's body was already in mid-air.
"die!"
Zhang Xiu shouted loudly, swung his hand, and slammed Wang Hu to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.
The whole process is a long story, but it actually happened in a flash. From the time the two fought against each other to Wang Hu's defeat, it took less than ten rounds.
Only then did the soldiers behind him react and hurriedly swarmed forward. Some of them protected Wang Gong behind them, while others rushed up to besiege Zhang Xiu.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Zhang Xiu held a gun in one hand, looked at these soldiers coldly, and said coldly.
Then, he mounted his horse and charged and killed one of his own soldiers, as if he was in a deserted place.
In just a moment, more than ten people had been killed.
Wang Gong came to his senses at this time. He didn't care about his injuries and hurriedly got up and ran away. But before he could run very far, Zhang Xiu had already broken through the encirclement of his soldiers and came towards him.
No, my life is at risk!
This was the only thought left in Wang Gong's mind, and then he was stabbed in the chest by Zhang Xiu who was riding a horse.
"You...general...I..."
After struggling to spit out a few words, Wang Hu lowered his head and died.
"You dare to lead the charge with such martial arts skills, I really don't know what to say!"
Zhang Xiu sneered, pulled out his spear suddenly, and then swept across Wang Gong's body, decapitating him before his body fell down.
The head flew out and was caught by Zhang Xiu, before Wang Hu's body fell to the ground with a plop.
"Keep charging!"
Zhang Xiu wrapped the head in linen and tied it to the back of the horse, and then ordered again to harvest Liu Dai's remaining army.
On the tower.
When Liu Bei saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and at the same time glared at Zhang Heng with some reproach.
Ziyi, it’s all your fault!
If you hadn't stopped me just now, let me remind Liu Gongshan, how could there have been such a tragic disaster?
In response, Zhang Heng shrugged and smiled indifferently.
Although Liu Bei wanted the jujube coalition to be used as cannon fodder, he did not want to see them suffer a disastrous defeat.
But Zhang Heng understood that his previous brainwashing was so successful that all the princes now regarded the Xiliang army as weak chickens. Even if Liu Bei had warned him just now, Liu Dai would probably not have cared.
Since the result is the same, why do you want to be a villain for once?
Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with letting these people suffer a little, so that they will be more cautious in the next war.
Just when Zhang Heng and Liu Bei were making eye contact, Liu Dai kept staring at Wang Hu's headless body under the city, grabbing the city wall with both hands, almost drawing blood!
The moment Wang Gong died, he felt so mixed in his heart that he couldn't tell what it was like.
There are doubts and confusions, but most of them are angry and embarrassed.
My 5,000-strong army faced 2,000 Xiliang troops. In a head-to-head confrontation, the general was directly killed by the formation. So you tell me that the Xiliang army is a bunch of weaklings?
More importantly, this is the first battle of the coalition forces!
I finally caught an opportunity to steal credit, but the outcome was so embarrassing.
You say that the Xiliang army is weak, but Liu Dai cannot accept it no matter what.
But if we say that Xiliang has a strong army, how did Liu Xuande win consecutive battles?
Wang Gong is also a loser, and I have high hopes for him in vain.
Looking at the princes on the side, their expressions were shocked, but there was some joy in their eyes.
It would be embarrassing for you, Liu Dai, to take the credit.
Just when Liu Dai was entangled in his heart, Zhang Heng came up, cupped his hands and sighed: "Liu Shijun, General Wang underestimated the enemy too much. The enemy general under the city is named Zhang Xiu, whose courtesy name is Boyuan. The first warrior of the Xiliang Army, he has the courage of thousands of men, and his subordinates are all elite troops. Our army has suffered a lot at his hands before. General Wang underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, so he suffered such a disaster, which is really regrettable. "
He had to be comforted, otherwise Liu Dai would simply run away in fear of the battle, and how would he be able to sing the rest of the scene!
"That's right." Liu Bei came to his senses at this time, and quickly comforted him, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, brother, don't worry. The Dong thief is indeed difficult to defeat, otherwise there would be no need for me and other princes to join forces."
"Um!"
With the steps in hand, Liu Dai nodded solemnly.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Liu Dai was not a fool. Of course he knew that all the princes of Yuan Shao's clan must be gloating over his misfortune, so he couldn't ask them for their opinions, lest they get an advantage and behave themselves.
When asking Liu Bei, he wanted Liu Bei to send troops to clean up the mess and see whether he was too weak or Liu Bei was too strong.
But how could the princes of Yuan Shao's clan miss this great opportunity.
Zhang Miao cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although we are at a disadvantage in the first battle, we must not allow the traitor army to become arrogant, otherwise Dong traitor will laugh at our incompetence. I will send troops to attack the traitor army now!"
When Liu Dai heard this, a trace of undetectable disgust flashed in his eyes.
These bitches want to make a name for themselves by stepping on me, right?
"It's not too late for Meng Zhuo to take action. It's better for Brother Xian to send troops. After all, Brother Xian has won consecutive battles before and knows the rebel army very well."
This time it was Zhang Miao's turn to frown.
Why, you, Liu Gongshan, suffered a disastrous defeat, yet you still don’t allow me to make meritorious deeds?
Just when he was about to speak again, Liu Bei suddenly waved his hand and summoned Zhang Fei.
"Third brother, you lead your troops out of the city to fight Zhang Xiu. You must avenge yourself with General Wang!"
"Why do we need our own troops? I can only bring two thousand people, so as not to let the rebel army say that we bully the few with our large numbers. Brother, if you let me go, I will go and get this kid's head back!"
After saying this, Zhang Fei immediately turned around and went downstairs, without giving Yuan Shao a chance to speak.
