Compared with these soldiers who survived death, Han Xian, Chen Lan and Yang Feng were undoubtedly extremely unfortunate. {3w.

Especially Han Xian and Yang Feng, for the arrival of Li Li's army, they have been wandering among all forces for many years, enduring bitterness and torture that ordinary people cannot bear. Now they have finally survived, but they died on the spot just before they were about to see the dawn of victory.

It's only a little while before and after, only half a cup of tea.

As long as they survive this period, Han Xian and Yang Feng can survive, and they will live well and get everything they once dreamed of. Unfortunately, they once thought that glory and wealth were close at hand, but they passed by them, and they were destined to be destined to be destined to be destined. Therefore, they were extremely unfortunate and had a miserable fate, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they were tragic.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

Suddenly, rustling footsteps sounded behind Lu Bu's army, his steps were rapid and messy, with mixed sounds, becoming louder and louder.

Lu Bu, who was in front of the horse-retching formation, turned around and suddenly saw the Xuzhou civil servants and gentry who followed him out of the city in panic and retreated in panic, retreating into the city gate without looking back. Hundreds of carriages loaded with gold, silver and fine softness that accompanied the city to retreat silently. After seeing this scene, Lu Bu was immediately full of indignation, his face was ashen, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was very angry.

What was most helpless was that as these gentry members of the aristocratic families retreated, Lu Bu had no choice but to swallow this, turned his head indignantly, and faced the Xiliang Iron Cavalry four hundred steps away again.

Under the illumination of thousands of torches, Lu Bu clearly saw that the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry opposite was large. Although most of the cavalry were hidden under the night. I was not careful to see it, but with his rich experience in combat formations, Lu Bu was able to estimate the approximate strength of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry in front of him was conservatively estimated to be no less than 30,000 to 40,000 combat cavalry.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel suspicious, and was puzzled and muttered to himself: "Why does Li Zhe have such a huge war cavalry? Is it true that Li Zhe's defeat in Yecheng is inaccurate? Is it purely a rumor?"

Indeed, from the detailed investigations obtained by Lu Bu before, Li Li's troops suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jizhou. All four groups of troops were defeated, and it was an unprecedented defeat. It is reported that Li Li dispatched eight battle cavalry camps in the battle of Jizhou. They were: Wuwei Camp of Zhang Liao, Wushuang Iron Cavalry of Zhao Yun, Feiyan Qing Cavalry under Zhang Yan's tent, Huben Camp of Dian Wei, Feixiong Camp led by Huan Fei, Qinglong Camp under Xu Chu's tent, Youzhou Camp under Gongsun Zan and Jinqi Guard of Li Li's personal guards. Li Li originally had nine battle cavalry under Li Li's command. Youzhou Camp was a newly formed cavalry camp recently, so there were ten battle cavalry camps.

In the battle of Jizhou, all eight combat cavalry under Li Li suffered heavy losses. Among them, the four combat cavalry under Youzhou Camp, Huben Camp, Qinglong Camp and Feixiong Camp suffered the most casualties. Most of the soldiers and horses were almost completely damaged. The other four cavalry also suffered heavy casualties, with nearly half of the soldiers and horses missing, and they were already injured and unable to fight again. At this point, after the battle of Jizhou, more than half of the 500,000 troops under Li Li's command were damaged, and the main combat camp suffered huge casualties. More than half of the combat cavalry were lost in the battle, and their strength was greatly damaged. The combat power dropped sharply, and the momentum was not as strong as before, and it was no longer as strong as before.

Therefore, Lu Bu thought that the Western Liang cavalry under Li Li's command was no longer able to fight again. The heavy casualties of more than 100,000 combat cavalry and the huge losses of more than 100,000 infantry made it difficult for the Western Liang army to recover within two years. It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu accepted Cao Cao's gift and was willing to secretly form an alliance with him and join forces to fight Li Li. While protecting himself, he could sit in Xuzhou safely and freely.

Therefore, when Lu Bu saw that there were so many Western Liang cavalry under Li Li's command, he couldn't help but feel suspicious and confused. He thought that the news he had received before was all fake. After the crushing defeat in Yecheng, Li Li did not seriously damage his vitality. The so-called severe injury was also a false news and it is not worthy of trust.

In fact, the news that Lu Bu received was very accurate. The battle of Jizhou did cause the Xiliang army under Li Li to participate in the Battle of Jizhou to suffer heavy losses, with more than half of its troops being damaged, which really hurt his muscles and energy, and his strength dropped sharply, which was much worse than before. However, Lu Bu ignored some extremely critical factors. In the past two years, Li Li led his troops to the east to Youzhou and the south to Huainan, and obtained nearly 200,000 troops from the two major forces of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu. The total strength was no longer the 500,000 troops after the Sili War, but as many as 700,000 troops.

In the battle of Jizhou, the Xiliang army suffered a crushing defeat, with more than half of the eight combat cavalry, with more than half of them losing their losses and heavy casualties. However, these combat cavalry battalions were not wiped out. Except for the independent general of Youzhou battalion, the main forces of the other battalions were still there, and all the elite soldiers who could survive were selected from the best. Most importantly, in addition to the combat cavalry battalion, almost all the infantry soldiers involved in the battle of Jizhou were surrendered under the tent of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Therefore, the Chinese and Western Liang cavalry of Jizhou suffered a severe blow, which weakened one-third of the combat effectiveness of the Western Liang army in one fell swoop, but these losses were not enough to shake Li Li's foundation. After all, he had long been in the dominant position of the world's number one prince. His strength and numerous soldiers were far beyond the imagination of the princes such as Lu Bu, which had only one state. At least they could not find out the full strength of the Western Liang army.

Lu Bu knew that Li Li had formed an Iron Cavalry of Youzhou after he received Youzhou, but he did not know that Li Li had formed another war cavalry in Hanzhong, the hinterland of Liangzhou. This unknown war cavalry was the Xiongying Guard with Li Xian as the chief general, Hu Cheer, Yu Jin and Shi A as the deputy generals. His soldiers were the string control men of the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes migrated to Liangzhou. Zhuge Liang was responsible for the reorganization of the army and assisted Li Xian to form the 30,000 cavalry of the Eagle Guard.

Therefore, Li Li did not have only ten cavalry camps under his tent, but eleven cavalry. In addition to the eight cavalry camps participating in the battle of Jizhou, Li Li also had three full cavalry units, namely: Shuofeng Camp stationed in Sanfu, Chang'an, Longxiang Camp stationed in Wudu County, Liangzhou, and Xiongying Guard stationed in Li Xian, Hanzhong.

At this moment, those who appeared in front of Lu Bu were 30,000 Shuofeng Camp war cavalry and 10,000 Jinniu Guards, totaling 40,000 iron cavalry. At the same time, there were also a group of fierce generals on the battlefield who followed Li Li to fight in Xuzhou. On the left were Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Xu Huang, and on the right were Li Zhi, Qubei, Ke Bineng and Ji Ling.

These more than thirty generals in front of the horse-retreating formation are all famous generals of Xiliang. Among them, the weakest general can fight Lu Bu for 20 or 30 rounds, and more than half of the generals can fight Lu Bu for more than fifty rounds. Huan Fei, Li Zhi and Xu Chu have strong combat power that is not inferior to Lu Bu, and even more than that.

Because of this, when Lu Bu saw Li Li's army coming, he felt mixed emotions, his face was pale and his head was sweating. The wolf cavalry under his tent had fought against Han Xian before, and Yang Feng's rebels were extremely brave, as fierce as a pack of wolves and unstoppable. However, when the Western Liang army appeared, the wolf cavalry, which was like a wolf and a tiger, stopped abruptly, and did not advance but retreated, as if facing a great enemy, and did not dare to move.

Just now, Lu Bu dared to take the lead in attacking the closely defended rebel formation and defeated it. With every move, he killed Han Xian, Chen Lan and Yang Feng, the three generals of Yang Feng. But at this moment, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was not on defense at all and set up a formation to fight head-on. Lu Bu and his more than 10,000 wolf cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry and army under his command did not dare to take a step forward. Not only that, Lu Bu's army retreated instead of advancing, shrinking its forces, gathering nearly 30,000 infantry and cavalry together to guard the suspension bridge behind him. This move was obviously to leave a way out for himself, and if he could not break through, he could retreat to the city.

It is obvious that Lu Bu really didn't have the courage to lead his army to break through the siege at this moment. Before facing Han Xian, Yang Feng and others, he could lead his army to rush without fear. That was because he was 100% sure that he could kill the rebels and did not take Han Xian and Yang Feng into consideration. But at the moment, Li Li's army blocked the road to the city, and Lu Bu felt powerless, and was in a dilemma and worried. Even so, he still clearly felt that Huan Fei, Li Zhi and Xu Chu had already targeted him. As long as he had any abnormal movement, the three of them would quickly pounce on him.

In the silence, Lu Bu repeatedly weighed the current situation, but the more he weighed, the more anxious he became, and he became more pessimistic.

At this moment, there were less than 30,000 soldiers behind him, but there were 40,000 cavalry behind Li Li, who was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In addition, it was late at night, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the wind and rain were about to come. At that time, lightning and whistling wind were sometimes gone. At this time, standing in front of the city gate, it was still dark. Once you were away from the city gate, the torch would completely lose its effect. At that time, the wilderness would be pitch black and you could not see your fingers.

Under such harsh weather conditions, even if he led the army out of the siege of the Western Liang army, he could not escape the pursuit of the Western Liang cavalry. What's more, Huan Fei, Li Zhi and Xu Chu stared at him tightly. If he was entangled by the three of them, Lu Bu would definitely be in danger, and he might die here tonight.

"Li came from afar and Wen Hou became the landlord. Don't you want to spend all the friendship with the landlord?" Just as Lu Bu racked his brains to think about countermeasures, Li Li drove the Jinni Beast King to step forward slowly and shouted loudly.

Up to this moment, Li Li has always called Lu Bu the Marquis of Wen. This inadvertent title has a profound meaning, which obviously has the meaning of taking into account both public and private. Yu Gong, he and Lu Bu had had several confrontations, both were enemies and old acquaintances, and were both members of the Alliance for the Anti-Yuan. Yu Gong, Lu Bu's only pearl in his hand, Lu Lingqi, married Li Li as a concubine, and this relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law cannot be erased. Therefore, Li Li gave Lu Bu respectful title and called him "Mr. Wen", instead of calling him the name directly or saying bad words to each other.

It’s a pity that the father-in-law and son-in-law have never been a member of the same generation. Their respective identities determine the opposing hostile relationship. In other words, from the moment they both worked under Dong Zhuo’s tent, their uninhibited nature prompted them to become a pair of destined opponents.
