Chapter 181

The trees on both sides of the road vibrated constantly. It seemed that something huge had pulled up mountains and fallen trees. There was a cloud of smoke and dust in the distance, and countless cavalry were rushing on the road. It was like a long dragon winding on the road. There was no end to it. There were countless people in the crowd.

"This bloody Dong Zhuo! Have you got rid of him? "

Beigong Boyu's body rises and falls with the turbulence of his horse, and his face is angry.

When Dong Zhuo pulled out yesterday, he bit himself and chased after him. Yesterday, he carefully counted the number of people, and found that there were 7000 or so people missing. Some of them were killed by Xiliang iron cavalry, and others were scattered.

Beigong Boyu, on the contrary, is more convinced by the frontier regulations that it is an auspicious omen for red light to enter the camp yesterday. Otherwise, how could so many people die?

Li Wenhou on the other side said, "would you like to have a rest? Dong Zhuo has been chasing for a day and a night, so he should withdraw his troops and go back. After all, Zhang Wen's army has not come out. He dare not fight with our army head on. "

Beigong Boyu had been riding a horse for almost a day. At the moment, he was very tired. Even if several horses were alternated, the horses under him were tired.

"Well, I'll take a rest..."

Beigong Boyu just ordered the whole army to dismount and rest. Unexpectedly, a loud arrow burst out of the woods.

Bang!

"Kill the thief!"

In the woods on both sides of the road, countless banners were suddenly raised, waving in the wind, shouting and killing. How many people rushed out of the woods on both sides.

"Mount the horse

Beigong Boyu was startled and quickly mounted his horse. Countless horsemen were in a panic. Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from the road ahead. Thousands of cavalry mounted a big flag with the character of Liu. The first general was wearing a red robe and holding a gun. Liu Ye was the first one.

When Li Wenhou saw the man, his face turned white: "Liu Ye, it's Liu Ye!"

From both sides of the road, all the soldiers rushed out of the forest with spears and ring head swords in their hands. They were chopping and killing the Hu people who were dismounting.

Along with the Han Army on both sides of the road, there are also arrows that make a whoosh sound. The archers hidden in the forest set up their bows and sent out an arrow of death. Some of the horses were hit by arrows, and they were immediately raised their heads and hissed and trampled around. Countless Qiang people sitting on the ground suffered from the disaster, and were knocked down by running horses People were directly trampled on the body by the horse's hooves, and were immediately trampled into a fracture.

However, the Han Army did not fight on their own, but on the contrary, dozens of people in a group pushed forward with shields, and after the Qiang people were in chaos, the soldiers with the ring head sword rushed out to hunt down the scattered horsemen for a while.

The Qiang people are in a mess, and Liu Ye leads his army into the battle.

Boom!

Three thousand iron cavalry came face-to-face into the Qiang people's formation. The strength of the cavalry lies in the high-speed mobility and unparalleled impact force. Even if the Hu Qi standing in the original place gets on the horse without charging, it is simply a moving target.

As soon as the front row mounted the horse, the horse was directly knocked off by the dense cavalry. The attack of the two soldiers and the front cavalry made the Qiang people in chaos, especially the arrows shot from the dense forest, which greatly deepened the panic of Hu Qi.

Hu Qi is in a mess, looking at the figures waving flags and shouting in the dense forest, and I don't know how many people there are.

"Get out, get out!"

Beigong Boyu was chased by Dong Zhuo, like a frightened bird. He immediately ordered the troops to withdraw. After Hu mounted his horse, he fought and retreated. He did not want to entangle with the Han Army, but fled one by one.

"Ha ha, happy!"

Guan Hai roared with laughter, turned and yelled, "sheriff, do you want to chase after him?"

Liu Ye shook his head: "we have few soldiers. This great victory is just taking advantage of the panic of the enemy. We don't know the depth of our army. If we know how many people there are in our army, we are afraid that instead of escaping, we will fight our army to the death."

Liu Ye used 10000 troops in this battle, not to say that he expanded ten thousand troops in Tianshui county. The total number of standing troops in Tianshui county was only 5000, 3000 cavalry and 2000 infantry.

However, he also called people from all over the country to take part in military training, training once every ten days. Every man in each household subsidized a bucket of grain every month. Of the 10000 people who came with him, 5000 of them were minzhuang.

Naturally, these people could not really fight. Therefore, they were only responsible for waving flags and shouting in the woods. Only 3000 cavalry and 2000 infantry soldiers really attacked.

Because the Qiang rebels have been occupying the Sanfu area, Liu Ye always sends sentries to investigate the surrounding area. However, he accidentally detects the retreating Hu Qi led by Beigong Boyu. Therefore, Liu Ye chooses a road that the Hu Qi must pass by and sets an ambush ahead of time.

Hu Qi, who had been killed by Dong Zhuo's soldiers for a long time, was already a frightened bird. When he met Liu Ye's army, he suddenly killed him. He thought that it was the divine army, so he fought and retreated.

In fact, no more than a thousand people were killed, but the Qiang people were in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of horses.Looking at the horses around him, Liu Ye can't help laughing. Before he moved to the Central Plains, there was a lack of horses among the Yellow turban thieves. Therefore, Liu Ye had only hundreds of horses for a long time, and he could not supplement them.

Now that he suddenly gets so many horses, Liu Ye suddenly feels that he has made a fortune. So many horses can expand another 2000 cavalry. After careful calculation, the 3000 cavalry in his army were all one man and two horses, that is to say, 6000 war horses. In addition to these 4000 horses, the total number was 10000.

However, there are only less than 30000 households in Tianshui County, and there are 130000 people in total. According to the fact that ten people support one person, it is at most 13000 troops. However, it is too extreme to say that. Now, the 5000 standing army and the 5000 reserve service are almost the same.

"Go, take the horses back."

After Hu Qi's rebels retreated from meiyang, Dong Zhuo, the general of the broken prisoners, led his troops to pursue and kill more than 6000 Qiang thieves. Beigong Boyu fled all the way with his illness. Unexpectedly, he entered Tianshui and was ambushed by the Governor Liu Ye. He left behind more than 1000 corpses and more than 4000 horses and fled.

Beigong Boyu fled all the way, hardly stopping, and fled back to Yuzhong County of Jincheng county from Tianshui county.

But maybe he was frightened these two days, so Beigong Boyu lay down in bed, unable to recover from illness.

When the good news reached Luoyang, the Emperor Ling could not help but praise Dong Zhuo and Liu Ye. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Wen to enter the army quickly and pacify Liangzhou as soon as possible.

After receiving the imperial edict from the Emperor Ling, Zhang Wen was startled and quickly summoned the generals to inquire about the matter and prepare to defeat the rebels in Yuzhong County.
