The fish finally bit the hook. Liu Mang and Liu Ye looked at each other. Both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Milord, I will go and prepare!" Liu Ye cupped his fist and said to Liu Mang. Liu Mang nodded and Liu Ye disappeared from the side of the 2000 heavy armored City Guard. Even his warhorse was temporarily used by a thousand City Guard soldiers.
The cavalry's speed was very fast. Originally, it was just a shadow on the horizon. Now, the ground was shaking. In a short while, the thousands of heavy cavalry appeared in front of Liu Mang's army. Their horses were neighing and their armor was clashing.
"These are all good warhorses!" Liu Mang looked at the thousands of Xiliang heavy armored cavalry and couldn't help but sigh. Although the Lvbu's Army also had the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the number of warhorses in the Lvbu's Army was too little. If there were enough warhorses, Liu Mang would have already formed the White Horse Cavalry. If there were enough warhorses, then the Lvbu's Army would have 10,000 heavy armored cavalry. How could they be so easily ambushed by Liu Bei? Liu Mang resisted the greed in his heart and rode his warhorse to the front of the 2000 City Guard.
The 7000 Xiliang Cavalry also stopped when Hu Che Er waved his hand. Hu Che Er also looked at the thousands of City Guard soldiers in front of him. He couldn't count them one by one, but he could roughly see that there were less than 3000 of them. Hu Che Er wasn't the kind of person who would directly attack. He stopped the army to observe. He still felt that there was a trap and felt very uncomfortable.
"Go, shout!" Under Hu Che Er's signal, a thousand Han general nodded and directly rushed to the front. This thousand Han general was very arrogant. He rode his warhorse and raised a cloud of dust. He finally stopped in front of Liu Mang's army and pointed his whip at Liu Mang's army. "Which one of you is the fake Great Han King? Tell him to come out. General Yang Wu's subordinate, General Hu Che Er said that as long as this fake Great Han King comes out obediently, kneels on the ground and licks our boots, then General Hu Che Er will spare your life! Otherwise, hehe, wherever the sword of my Xiliang Cavalry points, it will be your burial ground! " This thousand Han general was really arrogant. Saying that Liu Mang was a fake Great Han King was already questioning Liu Mang. Then, he asked Liu Mang to kneel on the ground and help them lick their boots. Haha, he really doesn't know how to write the word death!
"You!" In Liu Mang's army, many generals couldn't bear it anymore. This was because the City Guard was trained by Liu Mang. It can be said that Liu Mang wasn't just their lord, he was also their idol. Now that their lord was insulted, how could the City Guard not be angry?
A thousand man general wanted to rush out and kill this thousand man general. However, he was stopped by Liu Mang.
"Lord, let this general help you take this dog's head and relieve the hatred in your heart!" The City Guard general cupped his fist and said to Liu Mang.
"There is no need!" Said Liu Mang with an indifferent smile. Provocation? This Hu Che Er was really not an ordinary Qiang person. Liu Mang already knew that the commander of the Xiliang Cavalry was a Qiang person. Liu Mang didn't know the details of this Hu Che Er because these barbarians were all brawn and no brains. The only thing Liu Mang knew was that this Hu Che Er had killed the second strongest general of the Three Kingdoms Period, Dian Wei. However, he didn't expect that this Hu Che Er would give Liu Mang a surprise. Now, he even sent a subordinate to provoke Liu Mang and expose some of Liu Mang's arrangements. Or perhaps, it would cause Liu Mang's army to move. This way, the army formation would be destroyed.
"But Lord!" The City Guard general was still angry.
"Haha, a fake Great Han King? Is it you, little brat? Now that my army is here, are you afraid? If you are, then kneel down! " The thousand-man Han general laughed. When he saw Liu Mang stopping his subordinate, he thought that Liu Mang was afraid.
Provocation? That depends on the skill of cursing! Some people can make people jump up with just a few words, while others can only say a few words on the surface! This thousand-man Han general actually ran to Liu Mang to show off his slight skill in front of an expert. He really doesn't know how to write the word 'death'.
Liu Mang did not pay attention to the arrogant Han general. Instead, he looked at his subordinate and calmly said "You also said it just now! You want to cut off this person's dog head. He is just a dog, why do you need to be angry with him! Humans can't understand the words of a dog! " Although Liu Mang's voice was indifferent, his decibels were not small. It was just enough for the thousands of people present to hear.
"Haha, haha, yes, yes, we can't understand the words of a dog, how can we care about a dog!" Some of the louder voices by the side burst out laughing.
"Liu Mang brat, you dare to be angry with me!" The thousand-man general was furious. Being called a dog in front of everyone, it wasn't just Liu Mang's army that was laughing. Even some of the men in the Xiliang Cavalry couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if we can understand the words of a dog, are you going to bite back when a dog bites you?" Liu Mang continued to instruct his subordinate.
"Of course not, dogs bite people, that is their nature. If a person bites a dog, don't you find it dirty? But how do you deal with a mad dog? "Liu Mang directly pulled out the war blade at his waist." Just use a blade to deal with a mad dog! "
"Liu Mang, you!" The thousand-man general was really angry to a certain extent. If it wasn't for the thousands of heavy armored soldiers in front of him, he might have directly rushed forward. A soldier would rather be killed than be humiliated.
"Come back!" Hu Che Er directly shouted in his army. He didn't want his subordinates to be humiliated again. "The Han people are like this, sharp tongues. Liu Mang is like this, your cheap father-in-law Lü Bu is also like this, but in the end! Hefei, what a pity, what a pity that I, Hu Che Er, am not here. Otherwise, I would have cut off that Lü Bu's dog head. But it's nothing! " Hu Che Er pointed at his horse and laughed at Liu Mang. "Do you recognize these horses? Do you recognize these heavy armor? "
"This is?" The City Guard became restless because the heavy armor on the other side was too similar to what they were wearing now. Not only were they similar, but they were also carved from the same mold. The silver armor was made of aluminum alloy! Not only was its defense amazing, but it was also very light.
"En?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes. These heavy armor were naturally carved from the same mold because these heavy armor were directly made by Liu Mang from the modern era. How could he not be familiar with it? There were only three troops that could wear the heavy armor that Liu Mang brought. One was the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry personally led by Lü Bu, another was the Formation Breaker under Gao Shun, and the last was the City Guard under Liu Mang. Not only was he familiar with the heavy armor, Liu Mang was also familiar with the horses that Hu Che Er was riding. These horses were tall and strong. Although the Xiliang horses were also good horses, they were half a head taller than the horses of the Xiliang Cavalry. These horses were Arabian horses, pure-blooded horses! Let alone Xiliang, even in the entire East Asia region, these horses were impossible to appear. The only ones that appeared were the thousands of horses that Liu Mang brought.
"Familiar? These were given to us by that cheap father-in-law of yours! We are very apologetic! "Hu Che Er's lips split open as he smiled. The horses and heavy armor that Hu Che Er was riding were taken from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. There were not many horses, only a few hundred. Many of the horses had died along with their masters. However, the heavy armor could not be destroyed. Originally, these armors were prepared by Liu Bei for his own use. However, because Liu Pi and Liao Hua ambushed the Xiliang Cavalry, Liu Bei could only give them to the Xiliang Cavalry to appease Zhang Xiu's anger.
"Bastard!" Liu Mang closed his eyes. It was as if he could see the brothers of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry fighting side by side. It was as if he could see the smiles on their faces. Liu Mang's City Guard had cooperated with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry many times. Although Liu Mang could not name the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he knew them. Now that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was crippled, Liu Mang was burning with anger! If it was a one on one battle, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would have lost. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was ambushed. This kind of grievance was simply unbearable.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's heavy armored warhorses?!" Liu Mang who was hiding under the grass clenched his fist tightly. He was really afraid that Liu Mang would not be able to hold himself back and rush out. Liu Mang could also see the relationship between the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the City Guard. Many of the City Guard soldiers who were hiding under the ground had red eyes and killing intent. This kind of camaraderie between fellow soldiers was very strong. "My Lord, you must hold yourself back!"
"I, Liu Mang, will personally take back the warhorses and heavy armor!" Liu Mang looked at Hu Che Er and said word by word.
"Is that so? The warhorses and heavy armor are here. Come and take a look! " Hu Che Er's mouth revealed a mocking smile. He could not wait for Liu Mang to be unable to hold himself back and attack! This way, regardless of whether there was an ambush or not, the thousands of heavy armored soldiers would still be wiped out.
Liu Mang did not directly answer Hu Che Er. Instead, he looked at Huang Zhong and said angrily, "Hansheng, my City Guard is not a place where any dog can come and go as they wish! What are you doing?! " Liu Mang's sudden roar startled the City Guard. After Liu Mang roared, he finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
Huang Zhong did not seem to be dissatisfied with Liu Mang's roar. Instead, he nodded and raised the bow in his hand.
"What?!" This time, it was Hu Che Er's turn to be angry. This was because Huang Zhong's bow was aimed at the one thousand Han soldiers that he sent out. Hu Che Er roared as he also took out his bow and aimed at Huang Zhong. He wanted to save his dog.
"General, save me!" The thousand-man Han general also felt the killing intent behind him and gave a loud shout, causing the warhorses under his command to gallop wildly.
However, Huang Zhong was a god of archery. No matter how fast the warhorse galloped, Hu Che Er's protection was useless. Not only did Huang Zhong shoot down Hu Che Er's arrow, he also pierced through the one thousand Han soldier that came to speak. He directly nailed him to death in front of Hu Che Er!
"Good, Old General Huang, beautifully killed!"
"Shoot those bastards to death!" The City Guard soldiers shouted. This was very satisfying. Didn't you send your subordinates to curse us? We directly shot them to death in front of you. If you have the ability, come and take revenge!
"General, let's kill them. Let's kill them!" The Xiliang Cavalry began to shout. Their own brother had been killed. Moreover, he was a general of a thousand men. How could they bear to see him die in front of them?
Hu Che Er also stubbornly resisted Liu Mang. He did not hide the killing intent in his eyes. The Xiliang Cavalry under his command also had high morale. As long as Hu Che Er gave the order, they would definitely tear these enemies apart. They would break their formation and use their blades to cut the enemy's body. After that, they would be able to catch the fake king and cut him into pieces.
"Come!" Liu Mang also looked at Hu Che Er. Hu Che Er hoped that Liu Mang could not help but take the initiative to attack the Xiliang Cavalry. This way, even if there was an ambush, Hu Che Er would not care. At the same time, Liu Mang also wanted to make Hu Che Er angry and charge towards his formation. This way, he would have the confidence to destroy them on this plain. Liu Mang's provocation towards Hu Che Er had reached the limit. However, Hu Che Er still did not move. Liu Mang decided to add more fuel to the fire.
"General Hu Che Er. Actually, this king has always wanted to ask you a question!" Liu Mang's eyes were full of provocation.
"Speak!" Hu Che Er was still able to talk to Liu Mang. This was already very rare. Even some Han generals could not do this. If he met someone like Zhang Fei, he would have already rushed forward to kill him. Even Guan Yu would be angered to the point that his face turned red.
"I want to ask if General Hu Che Er is your father's son or your brother's son! Do you call your mother 'mother' or 'sister-in-law'? "Liu Mang asked very naively. Once this sentence came out, everyone burst out laughing.
The Qiang Tribe was a foreign tribe. Because they did not have enough education, it could be considered as their tradition. After their father died, their mother and wife would be adopted by their elder brother. After their elder brother died, their sister-in-law would continue to be adopted by their younger brother! Because of this, the foreign tribes didn't know what to call each other. This was just a traditional culture, so the Qiang people didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. However, it was different for the Qiang people who had assimilated into the Han people. They were absorbing the culture of the Han people. For example, the Xiliang Cavalry. Although they still had braids, they were still wearing Han battle robes. Once they assimilated into the culture of the Han people, it was natural for them to reject the culture of their own people. Originally, this was something that everyone knew. There was no need to say it out loud. It was just a joke that the barbarians did not know how to educate themselves.
Liu Mang directly said it out loud. This time, those who had just assimilated into the Qiang Tribe could not take it anymore. They pulled out their swords. Although the Xiliang Cavalry were laughing in their hearts, they also pulled out their swords.
However, it was clear that Liu Mang still underestimated Hu Che Er. Hu Che Er was humiliated like this, but he still did not lead his troops to attack.
Hu Che Er took a deep breath. He wanted to engrave Liu Mang in his mind. "You are ruthless, very good!" These words were full of hostility.
"Let's go!" Hu Che Er pulled his warhorse and turned it around. This action stunned everyone present. Why didn't he attack directly? They actually held back? What kind of situation was this?
"General, what should we do?" The thousand Qiang Tribe generals could not take it anymore. Their parents had been humiliated. If they did not show it, how could they face everyone?
"What? Do you want to violate my orders?" Hu Che Er's hostility was not only directed towards Liu Mang, but also towards his subordinates. In the Qiang Tribe, the strong were king. As long as the thousand Qiang Tribe generals showed the slightest dissatisfaction, Hu Che Er would kill them on the spot.
"This general does not dare!" The thousand Qiang Tribe general quickly lowered his head. He did not dare to forget that Hu Che Er was not only Zhang Xiu's general. He also had the title of Qiang Tu. This was because Hu Che Er did not show any mercy to his own people.
"Milord, they left?" The general beside Liu Mang also did not understand why the Xiliang Cavalry ran away. They sent people to provoke them, but one of them was killed by Liu Mang's Huang Zhong. Hu Che Er was also humiliated by Liu Mang, so he endured and ran away.
"Rest assured, they will still come back!" Liu Mang looked at the thousands of Xiliang Cavalry's movements. Hu Che Er would still come back. Just like Liu Mang said, even if Hu Che Er was unwilling, someone would force him to come and fight. However, Liu Mang was very afraid of Hu Che Er. An outsider, a foreign general, dared to endure such humiliation. It really made one's heart turn cold! Such a person was either an idiot or a hidden dog. Just like Yuzhou's Escapist Liu Bei. He was humiliated by Yuan Shu during the meeting of the Eighteen Vassal States Association, but he did not say a word. When he accepted the position of an official in the imperial court, he was humiliated by the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect. If Zhang Fei had not whipped the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect, Liu Bei might have still endured it. After that, when Liu Bei was captured by Lü Bu, he did not immediately lead his army to attack. Instead, he came to have a drink with Lü Bu. Even though Lü Bu provoked and said that he would return Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Liu Bei did not say a word. After that, Liu Bei was dragged by Lao Cao to have a drink, so he endured even more. Therefore, people like Chen Gong and Guo Jia had always been afraid of Liu Bei. They were bent on getting rid of this traitor. If it was the Han people, Liu Mang would still be able to endure it. After all, they were all Han people. However, Liu Mang could not stand the fact that he was an outsider. He thought of the Five Barbarians Rebellion that would happen later. This Hu Che Er could not be left alive! This was the decision that Liu Mang made on the spot.
"Han Sheng, if possible, you must kill this Hu Che Er for me!" Liu Mang was afraid of this outsider.
Sure enough, Hu Che Er did not immediately command his army to leave. After disappearing into the horizon, Liu Mang felt the earth tremble again. Hu Che Er's Xiliang Cavalry had returned once again.
This time, the Xiliang Cavalry was no longer a single army. Instead, they were divided into a thousand people. They directly rushed towards Liu Mang's army. They were waving their swords and shouting battle cries. Seeing such a group of heavy cavalry rushing towards them, Liu Mang's City Guard also began to prepare.
"Steady, steady!" Liu Mang was cheering for the Urban Army. These 1000 soldiers should be Hu Che Er's troops to test Liu Mang. Their purpose was to expose Liu Mang's weakness. However, 1000 heavy cavalry against 2000 light infantry is a massacre. However, in front of Liu Mang were 2000 heavy infantry. Would these 1000 soldiers dare to charge? As long as they rushed into the battle formation, they would be courting death. Liu Mang would definitely end the battle as soon as possible.
Hu Che Er was not stupid. Liu Mang understood this and he also understood this. Therefore, when the Xiliang Cavalry was about to rush into the City Guard's army, they suddenly made a 90 degree turn. One by one, the heavy cavalry rushed out of the 90 degree turn.
This distance was only a few meters. One could even clearly see the arrogant expression on the Xiliang Cavalry's face. One could also smell the scent of their bodies.
"Steady, you must steady!" Liu Mang encouraged his men. Once they could not withstand the attack, the battle formation would be messed up.
