"Hm?" On the official road from Lujiang to Shouchun, Hu Che Er frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. There were grain carts everywhere. The grain carts were scattered all over the place. That's right. Hu Che Er had received news from another scout sent by Xu Shu that Lujiang Lü Bu would be transporting grain from Lujiang to Shouchun. The one who received the news was Zhang Xiu. However, the one who was sent to carry out the mission was Hu Che Er. In Zhang Xiu's eyes, although the grain might have some value, it was not as good as directly obtaining the grain. Liu Bei could directly stretch out his hand and obtain the grain. There were no conditions at all. Why not do this kind of thing? Moreover, this information required the use of a war blade to plunder. Because of this, Zhang Xiu had no interest in him and directly sent Hu Che Er to carry out the mission. When Zhang Xiu received the news, the Xiliang Cavalry under Hu Che Er's command arrived around noon. He originally thought that it would be a plunder.
But now, the scene was in chaos. There were grain carts and grain, but where was the enemy? Could it be that the grain was just going to be placed on the ground for others to take? Hu Che Er was a bit puzzled. However, Hu Che Er was a Qiang tribesman. They believed in strength. In his opinion, who would dare to challenge his 2000 heavy cavalry? He waved his hand and the 1000 Xiliang Cavalry behind him nodded. They dismounted from their horses and went forward to pack up the grains. Then they put them on the carriages and used the horses to haul them back.
"They really came to plunder the grain! They are really vicious! " Liu Pi and Liao Hua looked at Hu Che Er with killing intent. If it was just provisions, then it would be fine. However, they should not have attacked their allies for merit. This made Liao Hua furious. These barbarians were indeed barbarians. The commander of the Xiliang Cavalry, Hu Che Er, was a man from the Qiang tribe. The most obvious sign of him was his two braids hanging by his ears. He also had a hoop on his nose. It was clear that he was a barbarian from another tribe.
"That person is called Hu Che Er! He is Zhang Xiu's Deputy General! " Liu Pi recognized Hu Che Er. After all, when Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei were discussing, they brought along Hu Che Er. This Hu Che Er was very appreciated by Zhang Xiu. Although he was a member of the Qiang tribe, he was Zhang Xiu's trusted aide. It was said that he was the one who killed Cao Cao's number one general, Dian Wei. His strength could not be underestimated. Liu Pi began to hesitate. If he killed Hu Che Er, would Zhang Xiu fall out with him? Would his lord, Liu Bei, kill him because of Zhang Xiu?
"Commander, what time is it now? You are still thinking about these things?" Liao Hua also saw Liu Pi's hesitation. You are still thinking about offending people? Haha. People are thinking about how to kill you. "Commander, if he does not die today, then we will!"
"I know!" Liu Pi also took a deep breath. He also knew that he had no way out. He could only go all out or be killed by the cavalry. Liu Pi was not even forty years old. He still had a lot of good days ahead of him. He did not want to die.
"General, what should we do?" Liao Hua's Deputy General's luck was not bad. He was able to escape with Liao Hua. Now that he saw the cavalry entering the main road, he asked Liao Hua and Liu Pi.
"Don't worry!" Liao Hua said indifferently. He was now completely calm. If they want to kill him, then he will kill the enemy first.
Under Liao Hua's gaze, the cavalrymen dismounted under the barbarian's command and started to pack up the scattered rations. They moved the sacks of rations onto the wagons and started to sort the wagons.
"General, quickly take action. If you don't, it will be too late!" "Liao Hua's deputy general is a little anxious. Liao Hua scattered the grain carriages and scattered the grains on the ground to make the cavalry unable to charge, right? This caused their pace to slow down. Now, these damned Xiliang Cavalry had split half of their troops to clean up the provisions. This was an unexpected surprise. If they waited for the provisions to be cleaned up and the carriages to be cleaned up, then they would be finished. Wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
"Now is not the time!" Liao Hua's experience in commanding troops is very rich. He is not inferior to Liu Pi and may even be better. This is because Liao Hua's luck was not good since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. His subordinates were all defeated by the Imperial Court's army. No matter how good Liao Hua's subordinates are, it is useless. However, the ups and downs of these years have allowed Liao Hua to have a qualitative improvement. Although Liu Pi is a commander, Liu Pi's character is better. He was able to escape several times during the Imperial Court's encirclement. Compared to Liu Pi, Liao Hua suffered a lot more.
The reason why Liao Hua said that it wasn't the right time was because of his intuition as a commander. He felt that if he rushed out now, these 5000 people would be wiped out. When Liao Hua carefully looked for the source of his uneasiness, he finally found it. "Do you see that barbarian commander?" Liao Hua didn't point at Hu Che Er. He was afraid that if he made too big of a move, the result would be bad.
"I see him!" The Deputy General did not understand. He was new to Liao Hua and was not familiar with him.
"Look at his eyes and his warhorse!" Liao Hua said to the Deputy General. Not only the Deputy General, Liao Hua's words were also for Liu Pi to hear. This was because Liu Pi was the commander. If Liu Pi wanted to attack, Liao Hua would not be able to do anything. Liao Hua's words were mainly for Liu Pi to hear. Only Liu Pi could understand and support his actions. Otherwise, it would be bad. It would be difficult for him to follow Liu Pi to his grave. "Is his eyes looking around? Is his warhorse not stopping to eat?"
"Eyes? Warhorse? " Liu Pi and Liao Hua's Deputy General looked over. It was not only the barbarian general. There were also many Xiliang Cavalry. Their eyes and warhorses were not resting. Some of their warhorses were even moving back and forth.
"General, what do you mean?" The Deputy General reacted. His eyes widened. If this was true, it would be terrifying.
"Yes!" Liao Hua nodded his head. These Xiliang barbarians were indeed the best cavalry in the world. They were extremely cautious. Their warhorses were constantly observing their surroundings. Those who were ordered to get off their warhorses to collect the rations were not only to pull the carriages to the side and move the rations back into the carriages, but also to act as bait. If there was an ambush nearby, seeing half of the Xiliang Cavalry dismount their warhorses, he would definitely be tempted and rush down! " If he were to make a move now, only death would await him.
There was no difference between 1000 Xiliang Heavy Cavalry and 2000 Xiliang Heavy Cavalry for Liu Pi's army. This was because they could easily tear Liu Pi's army into pieces. This was Hu Che Er's strategy. His warhorses were moving back and forth. Once an enemy appears, they would be able to react quickly. They would accelerate and form a terrifying charge.
"Hu!" Liu Pi also saw it. If what Liao Hua said was true, then they were really in danger. Liu Pi couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. He didn't think that such a brainless barbarian would use such a trick to lure the enemy into a trap. Who said that Hu Che Er was brainless? In fact, Hu Che Er was smarter than some generals. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hu Che Er to get Dian Wei drunk and kill him.
Moreover, Hu Che Er was even more brilliant. His appearance made you feel that he was brainless. Naturally, you would let down your guard against him. However, you didn't know that Hu Che Er would reveal a sinister smile when you let down your guard. When you didn't dare to carry out his orders, he would send you to hell with that simple and honest face of his.
After a while, the Xiliang Cavalry finally calmed down. Their warhorses also began to chew on some fodder. These fodder were brought by the Xiliang Cavalry. Liu Pi's gaze also began to relax. Half of the carts had been collected.
"Go and help!" Hu Che Er finally gave the order for the Xiliang Cavalry to dismount and help the brothers clean up. After all, the 5,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers were responsible for this mess. It would take a while to clean it up.
"Yes, General!" Rows of Xiliang Cavalry dismounted from their warhorses and went to help.
"Listen to my command!" The corners of Liao Hua's mouth finally curled up into a smile. He raised his arm high. His movement was too big and the Xiliang cavalry at the side noticed it. However, Liao Hua did not care. "Brothers, the time for revenge has come. Kill these Xiliang barbarians for me! Kill! "Liao Hua was the first to rush out. He had a stomach full of anger. Otherwise, he would suffocate to death.
Zhao Yun's charge had killed more than a thousand people, and Liao Hua himself had almost lost his life. Therefore, Liao Hua released all of his Evil Qi and didn't show any mercy to the Xiliang Cavalry. He raised his blade and chopped at the vital points of the Xiliang Cavalry.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!" Hu Che Er also did not expect that there would be enemies nearby. Moreover, it was an ambush. These people were really patient. Hu Che Er had already used half of the Xiliang Cavalry as bait. However, they still did not attack. They waited for Hu Che Er to make the army lower their guard before rushing out.
Five thousand angry Yellow Turban Army soldiers rushed towards the two thousand heavy cavalry. If the heavy cavalry were on horses and this was the official road, not to mention five thousand people, even if five thousand more came, Hu Che Er was confident that he would be able to annihilate them. Two thousand Xiliang heavy cavalry. Even if there were ten times more infantries, Hu Che Er was not afraid. Even if they could not win, the infantries could still catch up with the cavalry. However, it was different now. The two thousand elite Xiliang Cavalry dismounted and became infantry. If it was the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's heavy armor that was brought by Liu Mang, it would be fine. That kind of heavy armor could not only be used as heavy cavalry but also as infantry. After all, the Formation Breaker, City Guard, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were all using the same armor. However, the Xiliang Cavalry was different. Although they were also heavy cavalry, their armor could only be used on their horses. Therefore, when they encountered these light armored infantry, they were really miserable.
"Damn it! Who are these people!" Hu Che Er did not know where the enemy came from or what banner they were using. He did not care so much and jumped on his horse. He hoped that he would be able to kill more soldiers. This way, once the cavalry was formed, they would be able to rush out and rescue more people. At the very least, they would be able to eliminate the enemy.
"Who are they? They are the ones who want your life! " Liu Pi was worthy of being a commander. His martial arts were not weak. After a few attacks, he arrived at Hu Che Er's side. The saber in his hand was fierce and fast. Not only was it powerful, it was also fast. He rushed towards Hu Che Er's face.
"With just you? Get lost!" Hu Che Er also saw the sword. He raised his halberds and slashed towards Liu Pi. Hu Che Er was stronger than Liu Pi. After all, he had killed Dian Wei. As the saying goes, one Lü Bu, two Zhao Yun, and three Dian Wei. Dian Wei could not be weak. Although Dian Wei was drunk, Hu Che Er was still able to kill him. Otherwise, he would not be able to occupy the top position in Zhang Xiu's army.
However, even though Hu Che Er was strong, Liu Pi was the one who struck first. By the time Hu Che Er reacted, it was already too late to dodge. However, Hu Che Er was worthy of being called an excellent general. He knew that in this situation, he was not thinking about self-preservation but going all out. Therefore, Hu Che Er's halberds slashed towards Liu Pi. Although Liu Pi was fast, it was impossible to kill him in one strike. Once Liu Pi hit Hu Che Er, Hu Che Er's halberds would also hit Liu Pi. In the end, both sides would suffer. Hu Che Er was from the Qiang tribe. Ever since he was a child, he had survived in this kind of battle where it was either you die or I live. Even if he died, he would drag the opponent down with him.
Hu Che Er dared to play like this but Liu Pi did not. If it was the previous Liu Pi, he would not care. After all, Liu Pi was a butcher. He was a lowly person who dared to join the Yellow Turban Bandits. Naturally, he did not care about his life. However, he was now the commander of an army. After the death of the Yellow Turban Bandits, Liu Pi immediately came to the front line. He enjoyed gold, silver, jewelry, luxurious clothing and food. The more he enjoyed, the more he feared death. Therefore, Liu Pi subconsciously turned around to defend himself.
This kind of result was exactly what Hu Che Er wanted. Although he was ruthless, who would want to die? He would not give up his life. He also turned around to retrieve his halberds. He jumped onto his horse.
Hu Che Er thought that by jumping on his horse, he would become a banner that would attract more Xiliang Cavalry. However, Hu Che Er's thoughts were shattered. He really did become a banner. However, this banner did not attract his own soldiers. Instead, it attracted more and more enemies. Hu Che Er was attacked from both sides. It was no wonder. Everyone was fighting on the ground. If he jumped on his horse, he would be an obvious target. Wasn't he just looking for trouble? One by one, Liu Pi's soldiers rushed towards Hu Che Er.
"Bah!" Liu Pi spat out thick phlegm. Although he did not dare to risk his life, Liu Pi still had strength. He also had many subordinates on the side. Without saying anything, Liu Pi rushed forward again.
"Damn it!" Hu Che Er kept waving his halberds. Every time he waved his halberds, blood and flesh would dance in the air. Hu Che Er didn't know how many people he had killed, but the more he killed, the more people he killed. His halberds started to become greasy. This greasy grease was a mixture of blood, blood, and flesh. The two thousand Xiliang Cavalry had now become Xiliang Infantry. They had to fight against five thousand Yu Province Yellow Turban Army. The enemy was two and a half times their size. They were not good at fighting on foot. From this, one could see how difficult this battle would be.
"Good idea. Good strategy." Zhao Yun couldn't help but look at this Liao Hua a few more times. Using carriages, using rations, and even ambushing and killing in the middle of the road … all of these were perfect timing. Normally, two thousand heavy cavalry could fight against twenty thousand light infantry, but now, they were being suppressed by Liao Hua's five thousand infantry. Brave and resourceful, daring to fight — this type of person was truly rare.
Zhao Yun regretted that he did not directly assassinate Liao Hua. This was because having a general like Liao Hua would be a hindrance to his lord's plan.
However, it was useless to think about it now.
Hu Che Er was tired but Liu Pi was full of energy. He did not expect that his five thousand men would be able to trap two thousand heavy cavalry. He did not care anymore. Damn it. Since they dared to take his life, he would kill them first. He no longer wanted to explain to Liu Bei. He wanted to kill the general first.
"Green armor? And those fallen flags? "Hu Che Er looked at those things and suddenly thought of something." Who are you? Left General's subordinates? Why are you attacking us? We are General Yang Wu's Xiliang Cavalry. We are your allies. "
"This grandfather killed the Xiliang Cavalry!" Liu Pi shouted. "Give me your life!" When they were chasing him, why did they not call themselves allies? Now that they were surrounded and in a predicament, they were shameless enough to shout that they were allies. Liu Pi would not let Hu Che Er go.
Hu Che Er was bitter. He was strong but he could not use his martial arts. There were carriages on the side blocking him. There were still some rations under his feet. Because of this, he kept slipping on his horse. If it was not for his horsemanship, he would have fallen to the ground. He was also surrounded. He was not Zhao Yun who could go in and out of Changban. Liu Pi was also not Cao Cao who gave the order to capture Hu Che Er alive.
Hu Che Er was gradually submerged by the crowd. "Go to hell!" Liu Pi's face showed a ferocious smile. The saber in his hand moved towards Hu Che Er's neck. Hu Che Er did not have the time to attack Hu Che Er and protect himself. His halberds were stuck in the enemy's body and could not be pulled out for a while.
"This time it is over!" Hu Che Er thought. He did not expect that he would not die in the charge but instead die in an ambush. He might even die in the hands of his allies.
"Clang!" Liu Pi thought that his attack would hit but it was blocked by another saber. Liu Pi was furious and turned around to see who was the one who blocked his attack. However, Liu Pi saw that it was one of his own people, his trusted aide. He was the one who planned the ambush. He was Liao Hua, Liao Yuanjian. He was the one who used his saber to block Liu Pi's attack.
"Commander! Commander!" Liao Hua gasped for breath. He ran over in one breath and stopped Liu Pi's saber. Liu Pi was also a second-rate general and his martial arts were not weak. "The ones we killed, no, they are not!" Liao Hua began to stutter. "He is not Zhang Xiu. We killed the wrong person!"
What does he mean by he is not Zhang Xiu and we killed the wrong person? Liu Pi was surprised. He did not know what Liao Hua was saying. In fact, Liao Hua was saying that the one who killed more than a thousand of their men was not Zhang Xiu's Army. They had ambushed the wrong person. The reason why Liao Hua noticed this was because Liao Hua had cut the heavy cavalry's armor. He could not kill the heavy cavalry with a single slash. Moreover, the heavy cavalry's armor was silver-white while the heavy cavalry's armor was black-white.
Liao Hua could not explain it clearly. What does he mean by he is not Zhang Xiu and we killed the wrong person? Was this a pure ambush? There is also the green armor.
Liu Pi understood from Liao Hua's explanation. He also knew that he had killed the wrong person. However, he could not stop. Looking at the battlefield, the two thousand Xiliang Cavalry were almost dead. If Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu knew about this, they would be finished.
Liu Pi gritted his teeth and pretended not to know. "Brothers! Kill them! Kill these unscrupulous Xiliang barbarians! Avenge our dead brothers!" “
Kill! Kill! Kill! "Liu Pi did not say anything. The moment he said it, the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army became even more bloodthirsty. The sabers in their hands slashed at the Xiliang Cavalry.
Only by killing them would no longer be able to complain. Liu Pi thought that if worst came to worst, he would hand over the provisions and say that the Xiliang Cavalry was ambushed by Lu Bu's Army and suffered countless casualties. In the end, they were completely annihilated by the time Lu Bu's Army arrived.
