King Liang's proposal was exactly what Liu Qing wanted.

Originally, I thought of using my own strength to deal with Yuan Jun in Liang State, so that Zhang Liao and others could take Xuzhou without interference. Now that the Liang King is here, it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with it.

This is equivalent to Liu Qing entering someone else's house and possessing the key. Taking the King of Liang with him, Liu Qing will be able to travel unimpeded. Even after his own supplies are exhausted, he does not need to plunder the powerful Liang people as originally planned.

King Liang almost has supplies.

Yuan Jun sent troops in three directions, which convinced Liang Wang Liu Mi to believe Liu Qing's words, that is, Yuan Jun did not care about his life and death, and wanted to put him to death so that he could blame King Bohai.

Next, Liu Qing arranged for several imperial guards to protect Liu Mi and retreated to Meng County. He himself planned to meet Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had just left seclusion.

According to Runan's intelligence, Yuan Shao has been improving military equipment. After seeing the power of Liu Qing's cavalry, Yuan Shao followed suit and built a similar cavalry, which was trained by Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Now Yuan Shao specially sent these two people to Liang

I'm afraid I have high hopes for my country.

Dian Wei gathered his troops and horses and asked Liu Qing again: "My lord, Yuan's front army is less than five miles away from here, and the front army's flag is 'Xu'."

Xu? In Yuan Shao's army, the one with the surname Xu is Xu You?

According to Yuan Jun's deployment, the front army should be feigning an attack. Yan Liang on the left and Wen Chou on the right are the real intentions. Such an arrangement is a clear game, just like a challenge. If Liu Qing does not dare to fight, then retreat

, if Liu Qing dares to fight, he will inevitably fall into a pincer offensive.

With Liu Qing's temper, he would not retreat easily. I wonder if Xu You considered this aspect when formulating his strategy.

Seeing that Liu Qing was silent, Dian Wei asked again: "Lord, how are we going to fight?"

"Not only did we not retreat, we also took the initiative to attack. Yuan's army surrounded me on three sides and left the north. I did the opposite and followed my king to attack Xu You in the south!"

After that, Liu Qing stepped onto Jin Ge, led the imperial guards and tiger guards who had already assembled and waited, and headed south.

In the south, Xu You was sitting in the middle of the army, thinking about how this battle would end. The best result would naturally be to capture the King of Bohai, present him to Duke Yuan, and capture the Liang Kingdom by the way.

At the next point, he defeated King Bohai on the battlefield and made him escape, but he captured the Liang Kingdom.

The worst outcome is that the King of Bohai escapes directly without fighting at all, and he captures the Liang Kingdom.

To this day, the former military sentinel still has not reported the news of King Bohai's withdrawal, indicating that King Bohai has not escaped. Obviously, Xu You feels that the worst outcome is a lesser outcome.

"The two generals should be in place. The army will approach two miles further and force King Bohai to retreat!" Xu You ordered.

As long as King Bohai retreats, Yan Liang and Wen Chou will intercept and kill him. If he doesn't retreat, even better, then he will have a chance to encircle and achieve the best results!

However, before Xu You's commander had gone far and before the order was conveyed, a sentinel came galloping towards him.

"Report——"

"Inform the military advisor that King Bohai is leading his army south to attack our army!"

"What! Say it again!" Xu You said anxiously.

"The King of Bohai is coming to kill you!" Shao Tanyan repeated concisely and concisely.

Are you coming? Xu You instinctively felt panicked, and quickly stretched out his fingers to rub it. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: What kind of wisdom and courage are there? In my opinion, I am just a common man! The King of Bohai actually dared to go south. He will undoubtedly

Trapped in siege.

"Send the order! The army assumes a charging stance and prepares to attack the King of Bohai!"

"Immediately notify the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and order the encirclement to be tightened, saying that King Bohai has fallen into a trap!"

Xu You gave continuous orders, and the army moved slowly. The cavalry came forward and put into charge formation.

Liu Qing went all the way south and soon saw Xu You's troops and horses. Looking from a distance, the cavalry were in the front line. Both the war horses and the cavalry were wearing armor. Compared with before, they had been upgraded. The cavalry's armor had been upgraded last night.

When I broke into Suiyang, I had seen it up close in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for its protective power, I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know.

However, we learned from intelligence that although Yuan Shao had invested heavily in iron ore, it was still far from enough to meet his needs. In particular, Liu Qing controlled Hebei and merged the two states, and almost monopolized the iron trade. Therefore, Yuan Shao processed a lot of armaments.

They are all made of recycled iron and have a lot of magazines. The strength of the armor weapons should not be comparable to my own refined steel.

How about it? Use your own spear to attack the enemy's armor. Try it and you will know!

Liu Qing paused for a moment to let the horses and knights who had just warmed up regain their strength.

"Lord, how should we fight this battle? Charge directly?" Dian Wei asked.

Liu Qing rolled his eyes at him. How is it possible? This is not the Yellow Turban Army!

The first wave of attack by Yuan Jun with his spear raised up may have caused a lot of casualties. The reason why he rushed to the Yellow Turban was because the opponent was almost made of flesh and blood, and Yuan Jun, who was holding a sharp spear and spear, was likely to rush over.

He didn't hit anyone, but stabbed himself to death.

"You lead the tiger guards to break through the enemy's formation with a sharp knife formation, go straight to Xu You, and capture him. The battle may be over."

"Okay!" Dian Wei agreed without questioning Liu Qing's decision at all.

Liu Qing added: "I will lead the imperial guards to the rear of the enemy's formation to interfere with their formation. In addition, I will be careful to prevent Xu You from escaping. He will be captured in this battle and sent to Fuyu to open up wasteland!"

After a moment's rest, Liu Qing looked at Xu You's formation again. Although he was about to move, he still held back. Xu You's main consideration was probably to wait for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to block Liu Qing's retreat, so he was not in a hurry.

He was not in a hurry, but Liu Qing was. As winter turned to spring, he hoped that Xu You could catch up with Fu Yu's spring plowing.

"Dian Wei, Tiger Guards attack!" Liu Qing ordered!

Dian Wei took the lead on his black horse, rushed to the front, raised his iron halberd high, and called out: "Brothers from the Tiger Guard camp, follow me in sharp knife formation to kill!"

The cavalry from the Tiger Guard Battalion rushed forward with a roar, shouting vague slogans. They were all tall and powerful people.

This man is tall and tall, literally.

The predecessor of the Tiger Guard Camp was the people left after Liu Qing selected the imperial guards. They were people with no attributes, so they were selected based on their physical excellence. For this reason, Liu Qing built another battalion and asked Dian Wei to train them.

In terms of armaments, the Tiger Guards are also tailor-made. Unlike the Imperial Guards, they are equipped with thicker armor. Their long weapons are elongated spears, used to break formations and pierce them. Instead of bows and arrows, they are equipped with a small shield, made of fine iron.

, one attack and one defense.

Because of the heavy load, their war horses are usually taller and have strong endurance, so the description of tall people and big horses is very appropriate.

After the Tiger Guards attacked, Liu Qing also led his army to make a detour to the west.

Seeing that King Bohai had few troops, Xu You divided his troops to attack. When he saw that the few cavalry were about to be overwhelmed by his own army, he smiled and said: "In the face of absolute strength, all tricks are useless! Send the order! Full-scale strangulation into the formation.

The enemy, the outflanking army, ignore it!"

However, in the eyes of Xu You from a distance, victory was assured, but in the eyes of Yuan Jun's officers and men in front of the battle, they were filled with complaints.

When Dian Wei entered the formation, the iron halberd swept past, and the huge force directly caused the spears and spears to be thrown away. Some of the wooden-handled weapons were directly broken by this blow. The hands of Yuan Jun in the front formation were shaken.

Got numb and painful.

Dian Wei succeeded with one blow, and the other halberd followed closely. The first blow knocked down the weapon, and the second blow rushed away. The Yuan Jun who bore the brunt was stunned because he had lost his weapon, and did not wait for him to dodge.

, I felt like the world was spinning.

A head flew straight into the sky, spinning rapidly, and blood was sprayed.

This scene was like some kind of signal, which immediately ignited the fighting spirit of the Tiger Guards. They all followed Dian Wei's example and took advantage of the strength and strength of their weapons. When they entered the formation, they knocked down the enemy's weapons one after another, and then charged and killed them.

.

Dian Wei's attack opening was not wide, only five or six men marching in parallel, but under Dian Wei's leadership, they quickly broke into the enemy's position.

Dian Wei knocked a man off his horse with a halberd, and then the tip of the halberd dropped, piercing his chest and directly piercing a bloody hole in his breastplate. Dian Wei wiped the blood on his face, then spat and cursed: "It's really like what my lord said."

I mean, the armor has been upgraded, and it costs a lot to kill..."

Before he finished speaking, a spear came towards him. Dian Wei blocked Yuan Jun's thrust with his left halberd. His right halberd followed closely behind. The crescent moon on the halberd flickered, and another head rose to the sky.

"The killing was hard! But that's all!" Dian Wei finished speaking and sighed ahead, seeing the "Xu" flag in the distance, which was where Xu You was.

"Brothers of the Tiger Guard, Xu You is right in front. My lord has said that if you capture Xu You alive, you will be rewarded heavily. Let's see if you can rob me!"

As soon as Dian Wei said this, the Tiger Guards rushed forward and two of them even reached a position where they were shoulder to shoulder with Dian Wei.

Xu You, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked and speechless when faced with such an offensive.

What went wrong? Such a well-equipped cavalry was directly penetrated while fighting with the enemy. In his opinion, this troop should be invincible. Yan Liang, Wen Chou assigned troops to him, and he even thought that he could

It is a great honor to command such a cavalry.

However, the very strength that he believed to be so powerful collapsed like a chicken and a dog in the face of the offensive of the Bohai King's cavalry.

What went wrong?

Xu You was puzzled, but at this situation, he began to want to retreat, because the direction in which the enemy troops were advancing was exactly where he was, and they were obviously coming for him.

"Send the order, gather your wings, and surround and kill the incoming enemy in the military formation!" Xu You then ordered, but his horses were already slowly retreating.

The huge gap in reality made Xu You sober, and also allowed him to see the fighting power of the legendary Bohai King's soldiers and horses for the first time.

"It's really strong!" Xu You murmured, having to agree.

This strength is not entirely reflected in armaments, but also in the differences in people behind them and in combat status.

Today, Xu You saw what it means to take the initiative to attack.

To take the initiative to attack is to have the momentum to go ahead even if there are ten thousand people in formation.

The Bohai Navy has it, but the Yuan Army may not have it.

Xu You was a sensible person and knew that if things continued like this, he might be in danger without waiting for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to arrive, so Xu You said to the deputy general: "You will take command temporarily. I will inform the two generals of the situation of this battle as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the rear. The adjutant looked confused. Is the military advisor trying to... escape?
