Cao Cao led an army of 20,000 to Yingyang City. He personally led 5,000 of his elite troops. Zhang Miao ordered Captain Wei Zi to lead more than 10,000 people to accompany him. Cao Cao only asked other armies to follow him. He was unwilling to lead these weak troops.

soldiers, because he knew that the miscellaneous soldiers who followed him on the battlefield could have very limited effect.

Dong Zhuo had many elite men, and the only ones who could compete with them were the elites. He was the first to break camp and start marching westward without waiting for other armies to set off. When Liu Xin saw this, he led his troops to follow him from a distance.

"Lord! The military order we received is to arrive outside Yingyang City on the 4th. Now we are following Cao Mengde and intending to help him?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but asked doubtfully when he saw that Liu Xing had just returned to camp and ordered him to break camp and march westward.

"Cao Cao has a great strategy and is very unique in the use of military tactics. But Dong Zhuo has been fighting on the battlefield for a lifetime. How can he be so easy to deal with? If it is to deal with ordinary weak troops, Cao Cao can play a powerful role with his strong strategic vision.

But if you encounter an elite who has fought hundreds of battles, Cao Cao's strategy can only bring harm to himself. To deal with the elite, you can only compete with hard power. I'm afraid that Cao Cao's eagerness to achieve great results will be defeated by Dong Zhuo. If we follow him, we will not be able to ensure the safety of the rear army's march westward.

." Liu Xin said.

Liu Xin will not show off himself like Cao Cao. Being able to join forces with him has already accomplished less than half of his goal. There will be many battles in the future and there will be plenty of opportunities to show off, so why worry about just a moment.

After leading an army of more than 40,000 people from Suanzao and arriving at Damou County on the 10th day of the first lunar month, Liu Xin knew that Cao Cao had been gone for a day.

Cao Cao knew that the location of Yingyang City was important. It was already winter, and Dong Zhuo might still be enjoying himself in the palace. As long as he could capture Yingyang City, he would have made his first contribution in this battle. The coalition forces would arrive at Hulao Pass as soon as possible.

Dong Zhuo's reaction time will be less, and their offensive pressure will be less.

Liu Xin did not stop at Chengmou County. He led his army to continue marching westward. At this time, the Allied forces following him could hardly catch up.

"Han Sheng, you lead the Xiandu cavalry to Yingyang City. If you encounter Cao Cao, just follow him. If you see Cao Cao defeated, support him quickly. It's best if you can defeat the enemy. If you can't defeat it, wait for my army to arrive." Liu Xin.

said.

It makes sense that Cao Cao is unwilling to lead the allies who follow him. If he brings tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops to join him like other princes, the speed of his journey will inevitably be reduced a lot. Liu Xin has selected 1,430 soldiers from this group.

Soldiers and generals joined his own army. In this case, Liu Xin also attracted a large number of his followers. In this way, he managed his alliance army much better than other parties.

But it was said that Huang Zhong led the dangerous cavalry for half a day, and saw Cao Cao's army in chaos forty miles east of Yingyang City. When Huang Zhong got closer, he saw countless soldiers fleeing towards him.

Are these the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao and Zhang Miao? Why were they defeated so quickly? Huang Zhong organized the dangerous cavalry to make way for Cao Cao's army, while preventing the other party from attacking him.

Dong Zhuo's army unexpectedly defeated Cao Cao. If the opponent was desperate to pursue Cao Cao, then this would be the time for his dangerous cavalry to show off in the wild. Huang Zhong was quietly waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, a group of cavalry fled back from the east in embarrassment. Huang Zhong saw that the leader looked like Cao Cao. He urged his horse forward, but he saw Cao Cao leading Yue Jin and Li Dian, two generals, fleeing in embarrassment eastward.

"Captain Cao!" Huang Zhong shouted when he saw Cao Cao.

"Are you General Huang of the Xiandu Cavalry? I just led the army to Yingyang City. On the way, I was ambushed and defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong! How could General Huang lead the army here?" Cao Cao was very embarrassed when he was covered in blood.

There was no trace of shame on his face when he was defeated, as if defeat was no big deal!

"My lord asked me to lead the army to support Captain Cao. I didn't expect Xu Rong to be so powerful. Even Captain Cao is no match. Captain Cao, please retreat first and gather the army before fighting. I'll leave this place to you!"

"Huang Zhong said to Cao Cao.

"General Huang came at the right time. Xu Rong led 30,000 Luoyang troops to ambush me. Most of them were archers. I didn't expect to be defeated by him. Now the opponent has the whole army chasing him from the rear. It is when the cavalry comes into play. General Huang

As long as we hide here and wait for Xu Rong's army to arrive, we will definitely kill the opponent with a sudden attack." Cao Cao said to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong thought about it for a moment. He has a thousand heavy armored cavalry and is not afraid of the opponent's bows and arrows. As long as he can break into the enemy's army, the opponent's archers will only be massacred by the dangerous cavalry!

Upon hearing Cao Cao's proposal, Huang Zhong looked at the many confident Xiandu cavalry behind him, and finally nodded in agreement. As a result, Cao Cao gathered more than a thousand defeated soldiers to follow, hiding and waiting on the roadside.

When Xu Rong's army chased Cao Cao's defeated army, Huang Zhong led a thousand dangerous heavy cavalry to charge towards the enemy. A thousand companies of crossbow cavalry followed him and kept firing. Four thousand light cavalry followed closely and killed Xu Rong's army.

A moment of defeat.

Cao Cao saw the power of the Xiandu Cavalry for the first time. He thought that the Han Dynasty Cavalry Captain he once led was already the most elite cavalry in the world. But today, after seeing the Xiandu Cavalry, he truly saw what elite cavalry is.

All cavalry equipment is the most elite unified equipment. The heavy cavalry's [Dark Iron Fine Armor] and [Fish Scale Armor] equipment are even more amazing. Not only can they resist enemy arrows, even the horses have special iron plates on them.

For protection, the dangerous cavalry passed by alone, and they were not at a disadvantage when facing a general on the other side. Cao Cao had never seen such an elite man with such force.

Cao Cao thought about the five thousand Yulin Lang in the palace. When they were most glorious, they might have been as powerful as the Xiansu Cavalry. Moreover, they were specially selected by the emperor from among the children of good families in Kyoto with strong martial arts skills. They were members of the Han Dynasty.

It used to be a glorious place. But now, Habayashilang has become a place where the children of aristocratic families gain qualifications, fame and fortune, and has long lost its former power.

Six thousand Xiandu cavalry killed Xu Rong's army at a fast speed and fled. More than half of the more than 30,000 people fell behind and chose to surrender, while the others were chased by Huang Zhong all the way to the foot of Yingyang City, watching those who were scrambling for the first place.

As Xu Rong's army pressed towards Yingyang City, Huang Zhong knew that Yingyang City was already his.

The 30,000 troops Xu Rong led this time were part of He Jin's original 150,000 troops in Luoyang City. In order to give the coalition a head-on blow, everyone went out of the city to ambush Cao Cao, which led to Cao Cao's defeat.

In this way, Xu Rong was also a man of extraordinary courage. However, he did not expect that a cavalry force would appear behind the defeated Cao Cao, and it was also a powerful and elite cavalry force. They were killed and defeated in a short time.

Back outside Yingyang City, Xu Rong knew that if he let the city open the gate, it would be difficult to close it again. But now there are only the original three thousand city guards of Yingyang City in the city. If he directly escapes without guarding the city, this Yingyang City must be
Chapter completed!
