Chapter 327 The bait is big enough!
It is hundreds of miles away from Hefei, Yangzhou to Guangzhou, the border of Yangzhou. If you rely solely on the speed of infantry, it will take four or five days. However, for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is full of heavy armored cavalry, it will be only two days away.
Hu Cheer's 8,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry Army set out from the Shouchun Hefei generation and soon arrived in Guangzhou. Guangzhou is not only thousands of elderly, weak, sick and disabled, but also Guangzhou, which was ravaged by Liu Bei once. Although Guangzhou has not been repaired, there are no less than 10,000 troops stationed inside! It is also full of enemies, and it is still heavy armor infantry, and the heavy armor cavalry are also heavy armored troops.
Hu Cheer led his eight thousand Xiliang cavalry to the city of Guangzhou. The eight thousand heavy armored cavalry were lined up in one line, and I couldn't feel anything in front of the big city like Shouchun, but it was particularly sighing in this Guangzhou county town. The vibration of the heavy armored cavalry's actions made the Guangzhou city start to shake. No wonder, Guangzhou is just a small county town, and its walls are all made of mud. It was previously kneaded by Liu Bei's army with a rushing cart, and almost even the city wall collapsed. Now the heavy armored cavalry is running a lot. The earth shakes his small earth wall naturally shakes, which makes the soldiers on the city wall very worried, and hurried to inform the generals and lords in the city.
"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!" A huge trumpet sounded above the Guangzhou city walls, and soldiers came out of the city and went up the city walls. Among them were hundreds of infantry wearing heavy armor. The flags of these soldiers were the city management and black chess armies, and one of the golden armor general was our King of Shu, His Highness Liu Mang.
"The lord is right, this fake king Liu Mang is indeed in Guangzhou!" Hu Cheer is not a brainless general. His seemingly honesty is just to hide it for the enemy. Once you underestimate him, then you are ready to pay the price of your life.
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" There were not many people on the top of the city management army and the Black Chess Army, because the city walls of Guangzhou could not bear too many people, and Liu Mang came up to the city wall to observe who the enemy was. What happened? He looked at the flags everywhere, the war horses were chirping, and many gentry were combing their whips, and some even had rings on their ears and noses, which were obvious to them.
"This is the Western Liang Iron Cavalry!" Liu Mang Ranran said to himself. He had seen many heavy armored cavalry. For example, the world's largest heavy armored cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry that Lao Cao appeared in order to compete with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and even the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry of Yuan Shu in Chen Lan Lei Bu's hands. These are all heavy armored cavalry. Liu Mang has faced them, except for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, who has not fought. He has attacked the battle formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and he has also competed head-on with the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry.
Now it was replaced by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry in front of him. Liu Mang did not understand the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and even his information about the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was limited. However, he knew that his cheap father-in-law, Lu Bu, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in Lu Fengxian's hand were damaged. Although it was an ambush, Liu Mang could not help but take a little more attention from this Western Liang Iron Cavalry. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry was very fast. Liu Mang returned to Yangzhou from Yuzhou and went downstream because of the extremely fast waterway, so he could go to the food route of Yuzhou, so that Liu Bei's army who was attacking Shouchun had no food to abide Wei and save Zhao. However, unexpectedly, less than two days after the Western Liang Iron Cavalry arrived.
"Young lord, let Hao Shao come to defend the city! As long as these hundreds of people are still there, there will definitely be no mistakes in Guangzhou!" Hao Shao clasped his fists at Liu Mang. He still admired Liu Mang very much. Ten thousand people in Anhui City blocked a 10,000 army. Hao Shao really wanted to show his talent in front of his idol and let him know that he was not an ordinary person.
"Hao Shao!" Liu Mang looked at the young general beside him for a long time. He really underestimated this Hao Shao. Originally, he came out of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and was recommended to him by Zhang Liao. If it weren't for a recommendation letter from Zhang Liao, Liu Mang might not have been able to pay attention to the young general in front of him. You said that he was a good cavalry in Xiliang, what's the purpose of running to me to Shouchun? Among the cavalry, Liu Mang had Zhao Yun and a white horse. Even because of Zhang Liao's recommendation letter, it was difficult for him to do it. Liu Mang, the prefect of several counties, had candidates, and it was impossible for him to give him more positions, and there were no soldiers and horses. Fortunately, many people came to the recruitment order. Liu Mang, the prefect of several counties, had candidates. It was impossible for him to give more positions to Hao Shao, and there were no soldiers and horses. Fortunately, many people came to the recruitment order.
Horse, Liu Mang sent out a thousand people, and food and gold to him, and threw Guangzhou, which was no longer Liu Mang's defense scope, to Hao Shao. Originally, Liu Mang wanted to abandon Guangzhou, because this place was just a county town, and the city wall was also seen. It was made of soil. The place he stayed at was the front of Yangzhou, and it was impossible to stop the enemy. So what Liu Mang wanted was the two cities in Gushi and Anfeng to support each other, so that they could take care of each other. If one side had difficulties, the other side could also help. If there were too many enemies, they could still use these two cities to block the enemy's footsteps. Guangzhou was already abandoned, but it was given to Hao Shao just for favors.
But unexpectedly, Liu Bei's army came and entered Yangzhou. Gushi Anfeng did not defend for a long time. One day! No, in less than half a day, a city garrison general was killed by Zhang Fei, and one city surrendered to Chen Dao and surrendered to Liu Bei's army. It can be said that the two gates of Yangzhou had been pushed open, but who would have thought that Liu Mang didn't care at all and even perfunctorily in such a Guangzhou city, there was such a general who stopped Liu Bei's 20,000 troops for four days. In the end, Liu Bei still despised the mosquito meat too small, so he let Guangzhou go. After the difficulty, Guangzhou became the third city except Shouchun and Lujiang County. This has to be said to be an unexpected surprise.
Hao Shao, Hao Shao! Liu Mang seemed to have heard his name somewhere, and Liu Mang couldn't help but ask, "Hao Shao, who are you!"
"Hmm?!" Hao Shao was stunned for a moment. Why did the young lord ask such a question when the earth attacked when defending the city? Although it was strange, Hao Shao still answered Liu Mang, "Report to the young lord, Shao came to Taiyuan, he is from Taiyuan!"
"Taiyuan? Hao Shao? Hao Shao!" Suddenly Liu Mang's eyes lit up, "Hao Shao, are your name Botong?!" Liu Mang suddenly had inspiration.
"Well? Young lord, why do you know?!" Hao Shao was a little surprised because he had never told Liu Mang his name at all. People were called each other. It was a kind of respect and a kind of closeness. Although Hao Shao was under Liu Mang's command, he was not a direct subordinate, so Hao Shao could not lick his face and tell Liu Mang that his name was Botong. The hundreds of surviving soldiers under Hao Shao would not call Hao Shao's name. Because they were only subordinates and did not have the qualifications to know, but then Hao Shao "understanded" it. It should be General Zhang Liao's recommendation letter at that time, and it should have his own words on it, which made Liu Mang recognize himself.
Zhang Liao's letter? Haha. When Liu Mang first read the recommendation letter, he could not think carefully. And he had an attitude of complaining about Zhang Liao. If you don't want the soldiers and horses you want, you will throw them to me. What do you mean? And Liu Mang couldn't turn against Zhang Liao for this favor, Liu Mang naturally had to make arrangements for Hao Shao, but now it's different. Liu Mang really picked up the treasure.
With two thousand guards, he actually blocked the attack of the 20,000 army, and even caused the 20,000 army to lose thousands of lives. He also obtained four hundred pairs of armored white-eared heavy armored soldiers and hundreds of prisoners. The moat outside the city with only two sections, even Liu Mang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it. If he was the siege, he would definitely use troops to be in the middle section without the basis of crossbows.
"Hao Shao, Hao Bodao!" Liu Mang's eyes flashed. He really picked up the treasure. If he remembered correctly, Hao Shao's name was Bodao, a native of Taiyuan. On the original trajectory, this person was a general of Cao Wei. Now that he became a general in the Lu Bu army, it should have been obtained by Cao Cao after he destroyed Lu Bu. Now Cao Cao failed to kill Lu Bu, he naturally did not get Zhang Liao and Hao Shao. Hao Shao didn't remember much Hao Shao, and he didn't record much in history, but he was still remembered by people. That's because he was Zhuge Kongming, the hard bone that the old demon could not take when he was hungry in control of Shu Kingdom. It can even be said that Zhuge Lao Demon had several people who were suffocated.
After the Battle of Jieting, Zhuge Liang led his army to attack Chen Cang. Zhuge Liang heard about Hao Zhao's reputation in Hexi. Considering that it was difficult to capture, he asked Hao Zhao's fellow villager Jin Xiang to persuade him to surrender from afar outside the city. Hao Zhao said to Jin Xiang on the city tower: "You are familiar with the laws of Wei, and you understand my character. I am deeply grateful for the country and my family is noble. You don't have to say much, you can only die. Go back and tell Zhuge Liang, and come and attack." Jin Xiang told Zhuge Liang what Hao Zhao said, and Zhuge Liang asked Jin Xiang to advise Hao Zhao again, saying: "The army is very disparity and cannot resist it, so why bother to destroy it in vain." Hao Zhao said to Jin Xiang: "It has been decided before. I know you, but the arrow doesn't know you." Jin Xiang had to return.
Zhuge Liang thought he had tens of thousands of soldiers, but Hao Zhao had only more than a thousand soldiers. He estimated that the rescuers from the east might not be able to arrive, so he marched to attack Hao Zhao, and set up a ladder. The ladder burned, and the people on the ladder were burned to death. Hao Zhao tied a stone mill with a rope and threw the Han army's chariots, and the chariots were destroyed. Zhuge Liang made another tic-tac-shaped wooden railing a hundred feet high to shoot arrows into the city, filling the trenches with earth blocks, trying to climb the city wall directly; Hao Zhao was in the city again
A city wall was built inside. Zhuge Liang dug another tunnel and wanted to enter the city from the tunnel. Hao Zhao dug a horizontal tunnel in the city to intercept it. The attack and defense were stalemate for more than 20 days, but Zhuge Liang was still unable to capture it. At this time, Cao Zhen sent Fei Yao to lead reinforcements, and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to retreat. This war was the first record of using ignition arrows recorded in Chinese history. The record of this war also became the first time that the Chinese word "rocket" appeared in history.
Even tens of thousands of people can't take over Hao Shao's thousand troops. Although this person is not a good player in siege, he is a person who makes you invincible. Although some people have explained that Chen Cang is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and his defense is amazing. Could it be that Wancheng and Shouchun, these important cities and towns have amazing defenses! With him, you can say that if you put him on the border or above your border city, you can rest assured. The information you get will say that the enemy's soldiers were defeated, and after the difficulties, there were so many enemies that disperse.
Liu Mang was a little regretful. If he had known that there was such a defensive god here, he should have handed him over Gushi Anfeng and Guangzhou. Two thousand soldiers could stop Liu Bei's 20,000 troops for four days with a broken city like Guangzhou, which had bought precious time for Xu Shu in Shouchun. If he had handed over Gushi Anfeng to him at that time, Liu Mang even thought that Liu Bei might not have entered Yangzhou yet!
"Bo Dao, just keep the soldiers a little alert! There is no need to be too panic!" Liu Mang also wanted to see Hao Shao's defensive tactics with his own eyes, but without this opportunity, at least the enemy outside the city would not give him this opportunity.
"Hmm?!" Hao Shao really couldn't understand his young lord. He suddenly asked where his name was still there, and then he smiled foolishly when he looked at him, and his eyes were still shining. Fortunately, Hao Shao knew that this was his young lord, otherwise he would have thought he was crazy! Now that the army is attacking, he actually wants to relax himself under the city, so don't be too panic.
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry under this city will not attack the city!" Liu Mang said, looking at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city.
Sure enough, the thousand generals of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry below hit Hu Cheer and asked, "General, are we preparing to attack the city?"
"Siege the city? No need!" He Cheer shook his head and attacked the city. He was so funny that he would go to attack the city. You have to know what kind of soldiers and horses he was under? They were heavily armored cavalry. Cavalry was originally used for field battles, so how could it be used to attack the city? As for where cavalry attacked the city in Xiliang, it was because there were few infantry, and even no infantry, all of them were cavalry. Then he could only sacrifice a part of his people to attack the city.
Hu Cheer would not. Even if this Guangzhou is broken and even if it is surrounded by earthen walls, he is still a city, right? He also has a moat and a gate, and it is not difficult to rush over, but after climbing the city wall! He knew that there were 10,000 heavy armored infantry in this city. He was not the opponent of those heavy armored infantry. What's more, even if he took down Guangzhou, what's the benefit of Hu Cheer? None of the benefits, and he was also seriously injured. Hu Cheer wouldn't do such a thankless thing! He came to the city of Guangzhou, just to tell the people of Guangzhou that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has come to protect the food road. If you know the truth, you should stay in Guangzhou obediently or you will be waiting to die!
"Okay, there's nothing good to look at, let's go down!" Liu Mang shook his head and said, "The Guangzhou city wall has no city tower. Standing on the city wall, you can only blow the wind. Instead of drinking the northwest wind here, you can't get a pot of good wine from the city wall.
"General, look?" Liu Mang and others' departure could not be hidden from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry below. A thousand general pointed at Liu Mang who was at the top of the city and said to Hu Cheer.
"The whole army is on guard!" Liu Mang got down the city wall, but Hao Shao did not dare to be careless and let the troops continue to be on guard.
"Is this the King of Shu Liu Mang?!" Hu Cheer had said that he was a fake king before. Now he has become the King of Shu. He is really knowledgeable and courageous. He can see that he cannot attack the city. This is a kind of contempt for the enemy and a kind of confidence in himself! "Let's go too!" Hu Cheer's goal has achieved, so he will naturally leave. He left with his eight thousand people under his command, which made Hao Shao look up to Liu Mang one more point.
...
Among the Guangzhou County Government, Liu Mang has now occupied this place, as a place to rest for discussions.
"The military advisor is indeed a good plan! We went up from the Wei River and came to the border of Yangzhou, Yuzhou, to cut off Liu Bei's food and grass, so that he could not attack Shouchun with all his heart and let him divide his troops. Now it seems that we have succeeded!" Xu Sheng spoke first. He admired Liu Ye very much. Although Sun had played an empty city plan before, Liu Ye also played a counter-espionage plan for Liu Bei's army. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have to counter-espionage. There was already a conflict in Liu Bei's army. After the 20,000 grain and grass in Ruyin were burned, Liu Mang's army did not go west. The food and herbs for attacking Runan were costly. What Liu Mang and Xu Sheng thought of was naturally returning to the army to fight against Liu Bei in a decisive battle, but Liu Ye thought of a deeper point, that is, Liu Mang could only delay Shouchun's defeat, and even in the end, he might even be buried with Shouchun. Instead of doing this, it would be better to come to the Wei River to cut off Liu Bei's military rations, so that Liu Bei could not take care of himself and came to surrounded Wei to save Zhao. Now it seems that this plan is really successful. The eight thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the city is evidence, telling them that Liu Bei really divided his troops.
"No, no, no! It has not been successful yet!" Xu Sheng was praising Liu Ye, but Liu Ye did not accept him and shook his head with a wry smile, because his plan had not been successful yet. "Xu Sheng, you see, our plan was to cut off Liu Bei's military rations and let him divide his troops. But now, although the troops are divided, this army is not his Liu Bei's!" Attacking the city naturally requires infantry. What Liu Ye wants is Liu Bei's troops to send troops to make him have no time to attack the city. If there are fewer, Liu Mang can completely annex it. If there are more, the Shouchun Siege will naturally come into contact! But who knows that the troops Liu Bei divided are not his own. But from his ally Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu is really willing to divide the eight thousand heavy armored cavalry out.
Now that there are these eight thousand heavy armored cavalry, Liu Ye's plan is irritable. Liu Ye wants to use the food channels to threaten Liu Bei, but the eight thousand heavy armored cavalry can be used as food channels for each other to help transport grain and grass. Liu Bei is really extravagant to use the heavy armored cavalry to escort the grain transport truck.
In this way, Liu Bei not only had many infantry sieges, but also had no problems with his food and grass. It would be really embarrassing that Liu Mang's army stayed in this Guangzhou.
"This Western Liang Iron Cavalry must be removed!" Liu Mang said gently as he hit the case, "The Western Liang Iron Cavalry must not be removed. Then Liu Bei's food and grass will be very safe, so that Liu Bei's army will not be short of food, and Shouchun will be even more unable to defend it. Liu Mang must cut off Liu Bei's food and grass supply, so that he will face the Western Liang Iron Cavalry directly.
It is easy to get rid of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, but it is actually very difficult to do. Cavalry can be said to be the most powerful type of troops in the era of cold weapons. They not only have strong explosive power, but also have a long lasting power. They have good mobility. When they charge, they are completely a nightmare for light infantrymen. What's more, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry here is all heavy armored cavalry.
"Lord, I think we can ambush these Western Liang Iron Cavalry!" Cheng Yu spoke next to him. It is the best strategy to deal with heavy armored cavalry ambushing and fighting ambushing. Even cavalry kings like Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will suffer heavy losses.
"No, ambush battle is useless!" Liu Ye shook his head and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to use ambush battles, but the border between Yangzhou and Yuzhou is an endless plain. This place is very suitable for large-scale cavalry charges, and it is not suitable for ambush battles at all. There are not so many dense forests for you to ambush. Even if there are, these heavy armored cavalry can escape with the mobility of war horses. At that time, the ambush will be troublesome. Because the number of ambushers is small, and the number of ambushers cannot be killed, and the number of ambushers is too large, then Guangzhou City will be vacant.
As long as a brained general, he will directly attack Guangzhou City. The cavalry is very mobile, and you can't catch up with him. The moat of Guangzhou City has also been filled. Before, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not attack the city because there were 10,000 heavily armored infantry in the city. When the heavily armored infantry went out to ambush, there were no people in the city. Even if the Xiliang Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses, they would have to take Guangzhou. When you arrive in Guangzhou, Guangzhou City may be destroyed. You must know that Liu Mang's 10,000 army of food and supplies are all in Guangzhou. Once Guangzhou is broken, then wait to go hungry!
"Then how about we attack the enemy's grain transport trucks!" Huang Xu expressed his idea. Regardless of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, he directly attacked the grain transport trucks, so that the grain transported from Yuzhou could not reach Shouchun. This was also a way, which could cause the shortage of grain and grass for Liu Bei's army.
"This is not possible!" Liu Mang stopped it because what is the result of such a battle? They are heavy armored infantry, not heavy armored cavalry. Heavy armored infantry attacks when facing light infantry. When encountering heavy armored cavalry, they can only defend and form battle formations to be evenly matched with heavy armored cavalry. But now, once the attack is attacked and the formation is scattered, it will be really irritable. Even if the food trucks along the way are destroyed, they will encounter a large-scale charge from heavy armored cavalry. The loss is too great that Liu Mang cannot afford. He only has such ten thousand elite soldiers in his hands now. If he loses it, what's the use if he wins the eight thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Hey! This is not possible, that is not possible. If only they can attack us on their own initiative!" Xu Sheng said fiercely. Once the heavy armored infantry formed a military formation, it would be the time when the heavy armored infantry was the most powerful. At this time, even the heavy armored cavalry had to avoid the edge. "I must shoot them out of seventeen or eighteen holes against this crossbow on the city wall!" If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacked the city, it would be a complete desperation.
"Let the enemy attack us on their own initiative?" Liu Ye chewed these words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Lord, Ye has a plan!"
"What strategy does Ziyang have? Tell me quickly!" Liu Mang now fully realized the benefits of having a military advisor. He could think of everything you could not think of. He might think of better things than you think of, and now it is time for the military advisor to solve problems.
"Lord, Xu Sheng said just now that if we want to defeat or even defeat the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is only one way, that is, let him attack the city, with the defense of the bed crossbow. As long as the city wall is not broken, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will destroy as much as possible!" Since the bed crossbow was invented, it will not only be used in water battles, but in Shouchun City, Xu Shu was using the powerful penetration power of the bed crossbow to make the Liu Bei army and Zhang Xiu army siege under the city miserable. If it weren't for the extra Ma Jun and his trespass, Liu Bei army would not have been able to touch the Shouchun city wall, and he could not even fill the moat.
"But they have to take the initiative to attack!" Liu Mang shook his head with a wry smile. What a trick! Are these Xiliang cavalry stupid and come to attack Guangzhou City for death? If they come, Liu Mang is really confident to keep them under Guangzhou City.
"It is impossible to directly attack Guangzhou, but we can attract them to attack us actively in the wild!" Liu Ye said to Liu Mang with a smile.
"In the wild? Ziyang, what you mean is to pull the city management army and the black chess army into the wild to fight against the Western Liang Iron Cavalry? "Liu Mang was a little confused. If he really pulled two heavy armored infantry into the wild, how could the Western Liang Iron Cavalry appear? Because once it appeared, it would become a real field battle! Eight thousand heavy armored cavalry and ten thousand heavy armored infantry are all heavyweights. Both sides are evenly matched. Once the war starts, killing one thousand enemies will damage eight hundred by themselves. Neither Liu Mang nor Zhang Xiu of Xiliang Iron Cavalry can afford it. The happiest thing would be Liu Bei from Yuzhou. Not only did he have no problem with food and grass, he also used Zhang Xiu's hands to solve Liu Mang's main force.
"Haha, he certainly won't show up for ten thousand heavy armored infantry, but if it's only five thousand, or three thousand. Two thousand people!" Liu Ye said to Liu Mang. If there were only three thousand and two thousand people, I'm afraid the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would have really been dispatched. He was several times the enemy, and the enemy was less than a quarter of his. In this way, even if the heavy armored infantry had a battle formation, so what? The suppression of the number of people could completely offset the confrontation between the troops.
At that time, these two or three thousand will be swallowed up so that no one will be left.
"Attract them, how can we defeat or even annihilate them?!" Attraction is attracted, but this attraction is just to deliver vegetables. The enemy is still too strong. With bait, you have to have a fishing rod! Otherwise, if the bait is eaten and the fish is not caught, it will be a big loss.
"Lord, have you forgotten what I said before! We have a powerful weapon to deal with cavalry and heavy armored cavalry!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
"You mean?!" Liu Mang's eyes also lit up.
"That's right, if you want to annihilate this Xiliang Iron Cavalry, you can only attract them to attack the city and use a bed crossbow to destroy them. We do not have bricks and stone walls in the wild. Then we use our bodies to build the city wall, and the bed crossbow can be transported. As long as the city wall formed by the heavy armored infantry in the front is thick enough to resist the enemy, the bed crossbow in the rear can definitely penetrate all the enemies through annihilation!" There are only two things that can eliminate the heavy armored cavalry on a large scale. The first one is the same heavy armored cavalry. For example, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry destroyed the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry and defeated it.
The second of a team of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the sharp weapon of Liu Mang's army. The crossbow can penetrate even warships, let alone these heavy armored cavalry. If there is heavy armor in front of them, it is like nothing. There is no difference. These heavy armors are paper, and the giant arrows of the crossbow can penetrate them quickly. Now the crossbow of Liu Mang's army can be reloaded at a fast speed. As long as the heavy armor infantry in front can hold on and can withstand the impact of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, then the one waiting for the Western Liang Iron Cavalry will be massacred by the crossbow.
"Just do it!" Liu Mang was excited to take a photo of the case and stood up and shouted.
The plan has been decided, and now all we need to do is prepare. In addition to the two thousand heavy armor infantry who acts as bait, there is also the candidate for generals. This general is not easy to do. Not only should it act as bait, it may even have to fight face to face with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
"Lord, Xu Sheng asks for a fight!" Xu Sheng was the first to break the silence and knelt in front of Liu Mang, holding his fists and shouting.
With Xu Sheng taking the lead, Cheng Yu, Wang Wei and Huang Xu all fell to Liu Mang in front of him, and even Hao Shao came to join in the fun, wanting to act as such a bait to block the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
"Xu Sheng, Wang Wei, Cheng Yu Huang Xu, and you Hao Shao! The courage is commendable! But this time I can't let you go!" Liu Mang looked at the generals kneeling in front of him and said that this operation was very dangerous. The two thousand heavy armored infantry faced four times his enemy, and the other side had war horses to help. Liu Mang really fought in this kind of battle. At the foot of Bagong Mountain, Chen Wu and Lei Bu's two thousand heavy armored cavalry were facing a charge of one thousand city management troops. At that time, the city management troops had 1,000 people, the enemy was two thousand, and the enemy was twice his own. But the final result! If Lu Bu's army had not arrived in time, the city management troops might have been completely destroyed. Even so, the city management troops were half-mature and died, and now!
The enemy is four times that of itself. What they have to face is not only the waving swords, but also the collision caused by the cavalry's charge. Once they can't withstand it, it will be annihilated. A result of not leaving any remaining will make these heavily armored cavalry rush over, and even the crossbow behind them will be unlucky. So this is a very dangerous thing. This is the reason why these war generals are rushing to do.
"Master, you?!" Liu Ye frowned when he heard Liu Mang's words because he had a bad premonition.
"Zi Yang, do you really think that two thousand heavy armored cavalry are enough to be bait?" Liu Mang smiled calmly and said, "Not enough, absolutely not enough!" Two thousand heavy armored cavalry is delicious, but as long as the general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has a little patience, the possible result is that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry doesn't even look at these two thousand heavy armored infantry at once. He will not eat this bait. Even if he eats two thousand heavy armored infantry, they will get very little. So why do you need to take risks? Their main purpose is to escort food and grass. As long as the food and grass escort is escorted, their mission will be completed. Even as long as Liu Bei's army takes Shouchun, the entire Yangzhou will be in the hands of Liu Bei. Could it be that he can kill Liu Mang in Guangzhou very safely? Why do you need to take risks?
"So, I will lead the team in person this time!" Liu Mang stood up and said, two thousand armored infantry, such a bait may not eat him for the sake of safety, but it is different if Liu Mang is the one who commanded the army. What kind of person is Liu Mang? He can be said to be the master of Yangzhou. He is the young lord of Lu Bu's army. Will Lu Bu teach this foundation to Liu Mang in a hundred years? Lu Bu is just a precious daughter, so among Lu Bu's army, Liu Mang is the second-ranked figure higher than Chen Gong's low position.
Once Liu Mang is taken down, it can be said that Shouchun will be defeated. Yangzhou will be determined in the battle, and in Lujiang. Liu Mang can also use his life to threaten Lu Bu. Moreover, Liu Mang has a title of a Saint King. Cao Cao and Cao Mengde and the emperor will command the princes. The title of this Saint King is not small. It can be opened for yamen and established a government or even a country. If Yuan Shu had such a son-in-law earlier, he would not have lost his righteousness and was besieged by the princes of the world. Therefore, Liu Mang's weight is super heavy, enough for the generals of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to take risks.
"Lord, think twice!" How dare Xu Sheng, Wang Wei and others beside him let Liu Mang be the bait himself? This is the ending of a life-and-death life. Once Liu Mang dies in battle, what's the point of conquering the world? They are interested in the lord Liu Mang, not the lord Lu Bu.
Xu Sheng was the one who subdued Liu Mang in Wancheng. Liu Mang subdued Xu Sheng with his ruthlessness and the kind of generous ruthlessness of using people without doubting others. By the way, he also had the 3,000 black chess army that was accompanied by them. It was precisely because of them that he could defend Wancheng and persisted with the support of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
As for Wang Wei, although he was deceived by Liu Mang, who made him curious? Curiosity killed Mao. He just wanted to go to Hefei to see the heroes of the world, but was dragged into the battle by Wei Yan. Later, Liu Mang learned about his identity and sent a letter to Liu Biaosong in Jingzhou to completely block Wang Wei's retreat. Although Wang Wei was very surprised and uncomfortable at the time, he felt relieved afterwards, because in Jingzhou, Wang Wei was just a small county lieutenant, with only dozens of people under his command. When Liu Mang came, he made him a lieutenant. Although he was just a deputy general, don't forget that the Black Chess Army was a heavy armored infantry. He was also the elite among the elites under Liu Mang's command, and he was also Liu Mang's confidant. When Liu Mang treated him like this, Liu Mang treated him as a national soldier, so he would naturally repay Liu Mang with a national soldier!
Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu is a veteran of Xuzhou. He was the first person he met with Liu Mang and the first person from the Eastern Han Dynasty that Liu Mang knew. Moreover, Cheng Yu almost killed Liu Mang, but when he got along later, Cheng Yu had to admire Liu Mang, the young lord. He first returned to help Lu Bu, and then used a counter-espionage trick to break into Xia Pi, almost killed Lao Cao, and then brought war horse armor to Lu Bu's army. Cheng Yu also gradually became Liu Mang's deputy general from the beginning, and now he has become the chief general of Liu Mang's direct city management army. It can be said that as long as Liu Mang does not betray Lu Bu, Cheng Yu will follow Liu Mang wholeheartedly.
Huang Xu, Huang Xu was rescued by Liu Mang from Huang Sa, the son of Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia. Huang Xu was born with pneumonia. It was the medicine brought by Liu Mang to treat Huang Xu, which allowed Huang Xu to take up the sword and become a general, rather than a sick man who was eating and waiting for death. It can be said that what Liu Mang brought to Huang Xu was Xinsheng, and his life was given by Liu Mang. Do you think Huang Xu would leave Liu Mang?
Huang Zhong was the same. He was originally an enemy with Lu Bu's army. Sun Ce from Jiangdong used a knife to kill someone and wanted to use Lu Bu's knife to disrupt the water in Jingzhou. Therefore, Huang Zu was afraid of Lu Bu's arrival and sent Huang Zhong as the main general to resist Lu Bu. It can be said that Huang Zhong himself was very strong. He almost injured Lu Bu seriously when fighting alone with Lu Bu. Later, if Huang Sho had not been the scam teammate, Huangzhou might not have been taken down by Lu Bu's army!
Huang Zhong worked diligently in Jiangxia, but was jealous of Huang She. Huang She even framed Huang Zhong in order to seize military power and arrested Huang Xu, making Huang Zhong kneel in front of him. Huang Zhong took it in, but Huang Zhong endured it. It was worth doing whatever he did for his son Huang Xu!
It was Liu Mang, who saved Huang Xu. Later, Huang She was defeated. It was Liu Mang who accepted Huang Zhong and made Huang Zhong and his son reunited. It was Liu Mang who rescued his son Huang Xu, so that he could hope that his son would become a success. Therefore, Huang Zhong was loyal to Liu Mang, and even refused to dominate the position of the commander and did not lead the troops, but was a personal guard by Liu Mang!
"It is because I think twice that this task is necessary for me!" Liu Mang was not afraid of death, but he was also afraid of death. When he first arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Mang even thought that he would never come back. Liu Mang had been through life and death in the fight with the enemy! He now has a lot of force, but even if he is afraid of death, he, Liu Mang, must do this. If he doesn't go, he will die. If he fails, he will still be dead. But if he wins, he will live. He has to do this! He is not alone now. He has family and his concerns.
"But lord!" Several generals under my command still wanted to stop Liu Mang! But they were rejected by Liu Mang one by one. "Don't worry! I won't go to die! Moreover, you see, Huang Zhong is around me, and you think that there is still a life in this world that can kill me Liu Mang? Even if I can't succeed, even if we fail, I can still survive with Huang Zhong!
Liu Mang was comforting his generals. He knew that they were worried that they were "but lord!" and the few generals under his command still wanted to stop Liu Mang! But they were rejected by Liu Mang one by one. "Don't worry! I won't go to die! Moreover, you see, Huang Zhong is around me, and you think that there is still a life in this world that can kill me Liu Mang? Even if I can't succeed, even if we fail, I can still survive with Huang Zhong!
