Chapter 738 Street Fighting
Liu Yao's mansion was in chaos, and the five hundred cavalry who accompanied Zhao Yun even directly broke into the mansion with a knife. If the five hundred cavalry took the person away successfully, the matter would end here, and both sides would have to fight a big shot in private. But for some reason, Chen Dao, Wei Ji, Wei Gu, and Fan Xian, who were following Liu Bei, actually led hundreds of people to collide outside the mansion...
"kill--"
"Kill me-"
"Princess……"
"Zhao Mutou, go away-"
Zhao Yun took Liu Yan out of the hall twenty or thirty steps and put her down. I don’t know if she was spoiled by Dong Hu, or if she was really angry, Zhang Fei kicked and beat Zhao Yun, but that little force fell on Zhao Yun and even scratched her.
They had already come out of the hall, and their younger brothers Liu Bian and Zhang Miao were making noise on the side, and finally they could only rush towards the gate of the palace. On the other side, Liu Bei and Guan Yu pressed Zhang Fei together, not daring to get out of the messy hall, for fear of creating an uncontrollable situation.
Liu Yan left angrily, Liu Bian could run out of the hall, Zhang Miao and some Qingyan families could leave, even the imperial envoy Xun Yu, but others could not take the initiative to persuade him. Liu Yan and Liu Bian had a deep relationship with the Liangzhou army. If they were too close, they would easily become traitors in others' mouths. Moreover, Liu Yao, Zhu Yan, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others were extremely annoyed in private. If it weren't for the bastard lying in Yanzhou and staring at him, the families of Pei and Chen countries would not have joined forces to fight against them.
The families feared Dong Hu's excuse to confiscate their land and property in the future, and did not dare to take out money and grain to support Liu Yao and Zhu Yan. This was fine. The most annoying thing was Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers. They not only held over ten thousand troops, but also colluded with the various families of Pei and Chen countries in private, forcing Liu Yao and Zhu Yan to be too tough.
After Dong Hu easily defeated Cao Cao, who had not yet established a stable foothold, Zhang Miao entered Yuzhou, Zhang Chao and some Yanzhou families gave up. The 300,000 princes of Guandong had never fought that boy. Cao Cao had just surrendered 100,000 Qingzhou troops and the Qingzhou army were beaten to pieces. How could he fight this battle with just one Pei and one Chen?
So the Yanzhou family who entered Yuzhou also gave up. They ran to Yuzhou just to build a new nest in Yuzhou. They did have some capital. One was the more than 10,000 Qingzhou troops in their hands, and the other was the relationship between Princess Liu Yan and Dong Hu.
All families in Yuzhou are panicked and need a safeguard that makes people feel at ease, and Liu Yan is the biggest guarantee.
Dong Hu had an intersection with Yuzhou in the first year of Zhongping. The families in Yuzhou also knew a lot about what happened that year. They knew that Liu Yan, Dong Hu, Guo Sheng, and Gao Wang were grasshoppers on a rope, but at that time Liu Yan was only a ten-year-old girl, and Dong Hu did meet all the characteristics of rebels, especially the court could not interfere in his troops.
For a thief with great ambition, it is normal to use a little girl. If you use it, just throw it away!
But what happened later exceeded the perception of various families, and they had never found such a precedent. Liu Yan not only served as the chief envoy of Dongbu Yicong, but even when Dong Hu went north to Bohai County last year, Liu Yan still served as the "Chief Envoy" and still supervised Dongbu Yicong in Yanzhou. As for Dong Hou later arresting many people... Liu Yan even quarreled with Dong Hou for half a year...
If it were a rising star like Liu Yao, Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, he would never tolerate a deposed princess pointing in trouble. And he would always help the princess in the court, but the vicious Liangzhou generals would endure it for half a year...
This is something that each family cannot understand, and there is no such thing in the classics, so each family came to a conclusion... Dong Hu loved the princess very much!
For this reason, there were rumors in Yuzhou that "Liu Yan and Dong Hu are not clear". Zhang Fei was already incompatible with Dong Hu. Liu Yan repeatedly stimulated "Dong Hu" in front of others, and then he cursed in public, just pointing at Liu Yan and cursing "dog man and woman".
Liu Yan was emotionally traumatized. Before "Getting with Yu Fuluo", she was just a "tiger baby" who was big or small. As long as she reasoned carefully, she was still a very obedient girl. But after "Yu Fuluo and Cui Jun", she became a little unreasonable, especially as she got older, her temper became bigger and bigger...
But no matter what, all families in Yuzhou admitted that "Dong Hu loves the princess". After Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao took the initiative, the two sides hit it off, but this was a betrayal for Liu Yao, Zhu Jun and others. So when Liu Yan, Liu Bian, Zhang Miao and others left the hall, a group of civil and military officials in Yuzhou were unwilling to chase after him and persuade him immediately. Even if some people were extremely annoyed by Zhang Fei, they were unwilling to show weakness now. They were also thinking of using Xun Yu to exert pressure to seize control of the troops from Zhang Miao!
Once you speak out of weakness, how can you put pressure on Liu Yan and Liu Bian?
But they didn't expect that when the five hundred armored cavalry waiting outside heard that "Liu Yan" was in danger, how could they bear it? They rushed into the palace of the state governor, which also angered the Jingzhou army and Huainan army outside the gate. The two sides actually confronted each other outside the gate. The Xuzhou soldiers led by Song Xian, Hao Meng and Cheng Lian not only did not go forward to force them, but retreated hundreds of steps...
Liu Yan was in a state of anger that she couldn't let go of. Seeing that someone outside the mansion dared to stop him, she was furious.
"Kill me!"
"Kill them all--"
Liu Yan was furious, but Liu Bian was so scared that his face turned pale, and he held her arms tightly with both hands.
"Sister...Sister must not..."
"Get out--"
Liu Yan was really angry and pointed at the leading Chen Dao, Wei Ji, Wei Gu, Fan Xian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others...
"Kill me!"
"Kill one person and advance to the next level!"
The leading Liangzhou general Song Guo and Wu Xi looked at each other. One was a general under Li Jue and the other was a brave man under Guo Si's name. The two heard that such good things were happening...
"kill!"
The two of them kicked the horse and held the spear at the same time, and the five hundred Liangzhou cavalry dispersed very quickly. Seeing this scene, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others changed their expressions.
"withdraw!"
Cheng Pu had seen the toughness of the Liangzhou army. Seeing that they really dared to be tough, his expression changed wildly. Before the 500 Liangzhou army launched a charge, he hurriedly retreated. When they retreated, the number of people was instantly reduced. Wei Ji, Wei Gu, and Fan Xian finally panicked. On the contrary, Chen Dao, who had recently received, was quite calm.
"Formation——"
Chen Dao roared, and hundreds of soldiers raised long halberds.
"kill--"
"stop--"
The shouts of killing suddenly exploded, and dozens of people rushed out of the door. Who were Liu Yao, Zhu Jun, Xun Yu, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, and Liu Guanzhang who were hiding in the hall?
But they were already one step late. Amid the sound of killing, Liu Yao's "stop" was insignificant.
Hundreds of iron cavalry were running, all of them were Liangzhou Qiang cavalry drawn by Zhang Liao's troops, and they were also light cavalry. The city was not very wide and severely restricted the cavalry's charge. Only twenty cavalry could form a three-row small military formation, like waves. The three small military formations in the front held shields and the other hand held spears, and the iron cavalry behind fired with bows.
Although the front door of the State Palace Mansion is relatively wide, for cavalry, especially the light cavalry, the restrictions are particularly high. If five hundred cavalry hit the infantry holding long stairs, even if they win, they will kill the enemy and lose one thousand of them. Faced with such street fighting, cavalry often dismounts and fights in the infantry to avoid serious restrictions on the narrow terrain, and to avoid frightened and fall into an unfavorable situation of chaos waiting to be slaughtered.
But when Song Guo and Wu Xi saw that the Jingzhou army were all full of swords, shields, and spears, they did not dismount and fight in the field, but used the method of lifting armored cavalry to rush forward.
"kill--"
The heavy horse hooves made hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers nervous. They raised wooden shields and the soldiers with halberds were ready to launch a fatal blow after the infantry and cavalry collided. Wei Ji, Wei Gu, and Fan Xian were even more nervous and sweating...
"Spout--"
When the twenty cavalry led by Song Guo rushed to more than ten steps, they suddenly strangled the war horse, and the short spear in their hands flew out instantly...
"Puff puff puff..."
The spear thrown is a heavy javelin, and the spearhead is a sharp three-conical spearhead. Behind the spearhead is a chopstick-thick iron rod, and then a hardwood gun rod, like an arrow inserted on the gun rod. This heavy javelin is penetrated into the body or wooden shield, because the two-foot iron rod is thinner than the spearhead, which can effectively reduce friction and have better puncture effect. It is not very effective in dealing with heavy shields, but it is not very thick skinned iron shields, which have strong lethality and can pierce the soldier's body after piercing the shield.
No one expected this situation. More than ten people were killed in just one moment, and the twenty forwards who rushed forward actually turned their horses and ran towards the edges of both sides, and they were about to run...
"Kill it up--"
Chen Dao was furious, just as he ignored the shrill screams of the front row soldiers, he was about to rush forward. He knew very well that the cavalry stopped more than ten steps, and that the cavalry was the weakest when they lost their speed. He was just waiting for the furious to kill forward...
"Shooting the arrow—"
There was a buzzing sound above the head, four or five hundred cavalry pulled their bows and shot at the same time, hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers holding stairs in their hands screamed in an instant, and their original formation was also in chaos...
The Jingzhou Army was also equipped with some crossbows, but they were against cavalry and cavalry fighting in the alleyways. This terrain was particularly unfavorable to cavalry. Usually, cavalry either retreated or directly attacked the infantry formation.
At this time, if you cannot suppress the cavalry's rushing forward, and after shooting a rain of arrows, the cavalry will kill them near, which will be a massacre.
In narrow terrain, the best way to deal with cavalry is to use a long stair spear. The stair spear is a heavy weapon. Long weapons must be assassinated with both hands. In this way, how can soldiers shoot with bows and arrows? There is no good way to shoot in the rain of arrows, so they can only bear it.
"Spout--"
The second wave of heavy javelin was thrown. Just like the first wave, the team leader didn't even look at it, and turned his horse's head and left. Chen Dao was furious and wanted to counterattack with his shield. But the next moment, the third wave of heavy javelin attacked again. However, this time, the twenty cavalry did not throw at the soldiers who were afraid and shrank, but all threw at the soldiers who were recoiling with their halberds. Chen Dao rushed in the front, and took care of him the most heavy javelins, with five shots at the same time...
"Dog thief--"
"when--"
Almost at the same time, Chen Dao held a shield in one hand and the gun in the other hand. Three shots were knocked down by him. The shield in his hand blocked two javelins. Unlike others who pressed the shield sideways, he pushed the shield out, his arm stretched out like a big gun, and the heavy javelin made him look back. When he looked at it, the wooden shield was pierced. If it weren't for the arms being extended, the javelin had already pierced into his body...
On the other side, Zhang Fei was furious when he saw the soldiers in chaos and held up the snake spear and was about to stab Liu Yan to death. At the critical moment, Zhao Yun smashed his gun heavily...
