Chapter 369 The Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the end of Jin Dynasty(1/2)

In Chen County, the cold wind roared and snowflakes rolled up, and the flags of the Jin army whirred in the wind and snow.

Fifty thousand Jin soldiers marched forcibly in the wind and snow.

All the soldiers' hats and armor were covered with snowflakes.

The carriage crushed countless ruts in the snow.

"My father, it's hard to tell the road when it's snowing heavily. It's too forced to march at this time. Many soldiers and horses have frozen to death."

Sima Shi inspected the Jin army in front, returned to the rear, and explained the situation to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi wore a hat and his cloak was flying in the wind and snow.

"Wei Wu is not an ordinary person. When he sends troops, he will definitely be noticed by him. If he wants to defeat him, he must be surprised. But perhaps, he also noticed it..."

A trace of cunning flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

In the impression of everyone, Sima Yi is famous for his cowardly battle against Zhuge Liang.

But in fact, Sima Yi's military style was strange and varied. He captured and killed Meng Da, but he was famous for his rapid march. He marched for 1,200 miles and arrived at the city in just eight days.

The reason why Sima Yi did not dare to attack Zhuge Liang was mainly because he was not sure and there was no need to fight Zhuge Liang to the death. As long as Zhuge Liang's food and grass were exhausted, Zhuge Liang would retreat. Moreover, Zhuge Liang's health was not as good as Sima Yi. As long as Zhuge Liang was exhausted, Sima Yi would be invincible in the world.

At this time, Sima Yi could only win by surprise.

"Let Beigong Chun's Xiliang Iron Cavalry be the vanguard. Xiliang Iron Cavalry was born in a bitter and cold place, not afraid of wind and snow."

"Abide by the order!"

Sima Yi issued an order.

The cavalry who was sent to the command came to a mighty general and conveyed Sima Yi's order: "Beigong Chun, Your Majesty ordered you to be the vanguard general. If you conquer Xuchang this time, you will definitely have a lot of contributions!"

"Please leave the heavy responsibility of the striker to me Beigong Chun!"

This fierce general sounded like a thunderous voice, was tall and burly, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, full of irritable murderous aura.

Behind this powerful general is a Xiliang Iron Cavalry composed of Xiliang soldiers stranded in the Central Plains.

Stick to the sharpness, iron horses and ice rivers.

This Western Liang Iron Cavalry is extremely terrifying, and Beigong Chun is a powerful general in the late Western Jin Dynasty.

At that time, after the Eight Kings Rebellion, the power of the Western Jin Dynasty declined, and the Five Barbarians invaded China began. The Qingzhou bandit "Flying Leopard" Wang Mi led more than 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang.

Beigong Chun led more than a thousand Western Liang cavalry to assist Luoyang, fought against the city, and defeated Wang Mi's tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry with more than a thousand Western Liang heavy armored legions!

Later, Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty of the Huns, sent military generals such as Liu Cong, Liu Yao, and Wang Mi to lead 50,000 elite cavalry to attack Luoyang for the second time.

Beigong Chun led more than a thousand iron cavalry at night to attack the Huns camp and kill the general Hu Yanhao, the Huns army's Grand Sikong Hu Yanyi died in battle.

Since then, there have been folk rumors in the world: "The horse in Liangzhou is rampant, and Liangzhou is robbery, and the bandits are gone, and the robbery is graceful, and people are killed."

Beigong Chun was brave and good at fighting. The Western Liang cavalry he led was circulating in the late Western Jin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Beigong Chun did not meet the wise master in that dark and chaotic world, so he failed to save the Western Jin Dynasty.

In the late Western Jin Dynasty, the court was so bad.

When Sima Yi was conquering cities and territory in this world, he discovered a forgotten general like Beigong Chun and used a trick to capture him as his general. Every battle, Beigong Chun charged forward and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was almost invincible.

Beigong Chun is impulsive and reckless. When he meets the scheming Sima Yi, he is easily bribed by Sima Yi.

Beigong Chun received the order from Sima Yi, but did not think much about it. He took more than a thousand heavy armored cavalry of Xiliang as the vanguard and marched quickly in the wind and snow.

There was a Western Liang cavalry leading the way in front, and the Jin army behind did not dare to complain and accelerated the marching.

Sima Yi left his second son Sima Zhao to guard the city, and personally commanded dozens of Jin army generals, including Sima Shi and Beigong Chun, and rushed to Xuchang in the heavy snow.

150,000 Jin troops approached Xuchang from the southeast.

In the northeast of Xuchang City, 150,000 Song troops were also marching towards Xuchang City.

Zhao Kuangyin held a dragon stick in his hand and rode a pure black war horse. In the snow all over the sky, black and white corresponded, like ink paintings.

Zhao Guangyi recommended himself and asked Zhao Kuangyin to go to war and accumulate some military achievements.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi with complicated eyes, and finally agreed to Zhao Guangyi's request.

Zhao Kuangyin did not trust his younger brother's ability to lead troops.

However, this time Zhao Kuangyin was in charge of the army and served as commander. Zhao Kuangyin believed that there would be no mistakes, so he agreed to Zhao Guangyi's follow-up army.

In addition to Zhao Guangyi, the generals of the Song army, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Gao Huaide, etc., all wore hats and white cloaks, urging various troops to use Zhao Kuangyin as the military spirit to press over to Xuchang City.

"Emperor Wu of Wei was a general on the battlefield and was suspicious by nature. He must have realized that the situation was not good for him in various states to mobilize troops, but he probably could not have imagined that the three of us would suddenly send troops to join forces to capture Xuchang. At this time, the soldiers are very fast."

Military advisor Zhao Pu was speculating on Cao Cao's reaction.

The Song army, Jin army, Qi army, and the three armies advanced together, and with Xuchang as the center, forming a siege.

Now, the three families are already in a difficult position to get rid of the tiger.

"Although Emperor Wu of Wei Cao is awesome, I am not bad either."

Zhao Kuangyin knew that the Song Dynasty he founded lasted for more than 300 years and believed that he was no worse than Cao Cao.

Zhao Kuangyin also had many famous generals under his command, and these famous generals may not be worse than Cao Wei's five sons and good generals.

"Huh... this cold winter is really cold. I, Zhao Guangyi, must make contributions here. Otherwise, my brother will have a few shortcomings in the future. If I don't have enough prestige, I will not be able to suppress the arrogant generals under my brother."

Zhao Guangyi rubbed his hands, and his palms were almost frozen and cracked.

Zhao Guangyi's ambitions are no less than any emperor, but his ability and ambition do not match.

However, Zhao Guangyi did not admit that he was worse than Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, the two former emperors.

Zhao Guangyi believed that Zhao Kuangyin was Sun Ce, and he was Sun Quan.

"Come on!"

Song general Pan Mei urged the backward soldiers to keep up with the troops ahead as soon as possible.

One by one, the soldiers of the Song army broke through the snow and marched forcibly to approach Xuchang as soon as possible.

From time to time, it can be seen that Song soldiers who had frozen to death fell on the way.

However, the Song army did not bury these companions who fell in the middle.

They didn't delay any time.

Soldiers are very fast. If the Wei army fully reacts, it will be too late and the best opportunity for a surprise attack will be lost.

In the southwest direction of Xuchang, Gao Huan personally led the army and commanded the 150,000 Northern Qi army. He agreed with Zhao Kuangyin and Sima Yi to meet in Xuchang City in the cold winter.

The King of Lanling Gao Changgong, wearing a hideous mask, led the Baibaoxianbei, the most elite in the Northern Qi army, and followed Gao Huan to fight.

"When you defeat Cao Cao, you will capture the six towns in the Central Plains, break through Hulao Pass, and take Xiacheng directly, forcing Zhang Hua to release Wuer."

Gao Huan sat in the carriage, which was as warm as spring, but Gao Huan was full of worries.

Zhang Hua sent Tang Sai'er to capture Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng alive, which made Gao Huan very depressed.

Gao Huan sent envoys to negotiate with Zhang Hua for three consecutive times, and wanted to exchange Gao Cheng for three thousand taels of gold, three thousand households, and a town.

As a result, Zhang Hua refused all of them.

Zhang Hua's condition to release Gao Cheng was five towns.

The population of the five towns and surrounding villages exceeds 100,000.

As a hero, Gao Huan disagrees with this loss-taking deal.

Moreover, who knows whether Zhang Hua will release Gao Cheng as promised after Gao Hua ceded five towns?

Things like morality may not necessarily exist among the princes.

Therefore, Gao Huan could only take the simplest and most rude method to defeat Zhang Hua and save Gao Cheng.

"Chile River, under the Yin Mountains. The sky is like a dome, covering all the fields. The sky is vast and the fields are vast. The wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep..."

Outside the carriage, Hulujin, Huluguang and other soldiers of the Chile tribe marched in the wind and snow, singing Chile folk songs in a low voice, which was moving.

Wind and snow, flags, soldiers and iron horses.

Huluguang's war eagle soars in the air, fighting against the wind and snow...

"kill!"

The shouts of killing shattered the snow. The Northern Qi army, located in the front, had begun to attack Yingyang Town, southwest of Xuchang City, and a great battle broke out with the Wei army!

Yao Xiong, a famous general from the Northern Qi Dynasty, took the lead in a fierce attack on this important town guarded by Cao Ren.

Yao Xiong used his army of 30,000 to win this important town as quickly as possible.

"The king has an order, and Yao Xiong continues to attack Yingyang. The other generals bypass Yingyang and take straight to Xuchang!"

Gao Aocao, Gao Changgong, Duan Shao, Huluguang and other military generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty received orders to avoid the important town guarded by Cao Ren.

Gao Huan also knew that Cao Ren was both offensive and defensive, and was especially good at defending, no less than his five sons and good generals.

If Gao Huan wants to attack Xuchang, he cannot be blocked by Cao Ren for too long.

Gao Huan chose to let Yao Xiong siege Cao Ren, and the other Northern Qi generals commanded 120,000 Qi troops and bypassed Cao Ren's defense line.
