Chapter 176 Sun Jian: I Believe Now
At the end of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bei successfully took over Xuzhou and became the new Xuzhou shepherd, leading the nine counties of Xuzhou. However, due to the short time of taking over, Liu Bei has not yet fully grasped Xuzhou.

In addition, Liu Bei asked Tao Qian to manage Xuzhou for him temporarily, so he asked Tao Qian to "borrow" [-] soldiers, and then went to Chenliu to join other princes. The Liao Hua he met also took refuge in Liu Bei.

And Yuan Shao is also planning how to capture Pingyuan County and open the gate of Qingzhou after the campaign against Dong is over.

At the same time, Shi Xie rejected Liu Biao's peace proposal, and was determined to unite with Yuan Shu to deal with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao had no choice but to ask Cao Cao for help.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian temporarily became allies to fight against the Yuan Shao brothers and Jiaozhou Shixie.

At the beginning of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shao led 20 troops, Yuan Shu led [-] troops, Cao Cao led [-] troops, Liu Bei led [-] troops, Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao each led [-] troops, and Sun Jian each led [-] troops, totaling more than [-] troops. Gathering in Chenliu is bound to wipe out Dong Zhuo, help the Han Dynasty, and rescue the emperor.

This time there will be no leaders and deputy leaders, the strategic plan will be discussed by seven people, each will supply their own food, and the spoils will be distributed according to their contributions.

"Everyone, the general battle plan is like this. In addition, I have written a letter to Liu Yan. Two months later, we will bypass Bingzhou and attack Chang'an, and Liu Yan will attack Anding from Tianshui to surround Dong thief!" Cao Cao He pointed to the map and said to everyone.

Their strategy this time is still that he will go to Hulaoguan to block Dong thief alone, and the others will lead their own troops to bypass Bingzhou and attack Chang'an.

"Okay, let's attack from two directions, and this time we will definitely wipe out Dong Bandit!" Yuan Shao promised firmly.

Others also nodded in agreement, thinking that without Yuan Shao and the others as the leader this time, Dong Bandit would definitely be wiped out this time.

In the same year, Gongsundu, the governor of Liaodong, thought that he was now strong and strong through the technology and items exchanged by the accumulated points of power points, so he decided to expand the territory and prepare to conquer Goguryeo.

At the same time, Liu Yan, who was far away in Yizhou, also received a letter from Cao Cao asking him to flank Dong Zhuo from Anding.

"My chance has finally come!" Liu Yan clenched his heart into a ball and looked in the direction of Chang'an with fiery eyes.

Dong Zhuo took advantage of the Xuzhou Contest to attack Tianshui, but was defeated by him, so Liu Yan did not continue to pursue Dong Zhuo's defeated army.

He was waiting for this opportunity.

When the princes of the Kanto region gather, he will take Chang'an and Liangzhou at the lowest cost.

In order to achieve the purpose of proclaiming the emperor.

"Congratulations, father." Liu Yan's four sons, Liu Mao, Liu Zhang, Liu Fan, and Liu Dan congratulated Liu Yan in unison.

The few of them already knew about their father's ambition.

If this event is successful and their father proclaims emperor, then they will be princes, which is much more valuable than the status of the Han family clan.

"This time I will personally go to Tianshui to supervise the battle, so you guys can come with me." Liu Yan glanced at his four sons.

It was decided to let them go together, and by the way, check which of their four sons is more capable.

Liu Mao, Liu Zhang, Liu Fan, and Liu Dan glanced at each other, and then replied respectfully: "Yes!"

The four of them were thinking in their hearts how to perform well in front of their father this time, trying to make a good impression in Liu Yan's eyes, and be named the prince by Liu Yan or something.

In the twinkling of an eye two months later, the forwards of the Kwantung Alliance princes headed by Liu Bei and Sun Jian gathered in Hetao, north of Chang'an, and met Dong Zhuo's army again. At the same time, Cao Cao personally led [-] heavy shield infantry to follow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of war drums continued to come from Hetao.

The [-] heavy shield infantry trained by Cao Ren were divided into dozens of platoons to confront Li Jue and Guo Si.

These [-] heavy shield infantry were the key to their defense against Dong Zhuo's steel cavalry. These heavy shield infantry abandoned the traditional configuration of one shield and one knife, and changed to two-handed heavy shields.

Abandon the attack power of soldiers in exchange for strong defense power.

"Brother Wentai, Li Jue and Guo Si are leading Dong Zhuo's ace cavalry - steel armored cavalry."

"Once this cavalry charges, it will be inappropriate for an army. In order to deal with Dong Zhuo's cavalry, I specially trained a heavy shield infantry." Cao Cao introduced to Sun Jian pointing to the cavalry behind Li Jue and Guo Si.

Except for the northern princes who had seen Dong Zhuo's steel cavalry, none of the southern princes had seen the power of Dong Zhuo's steel cavalry.

"Meng De, is it really as powerful as you say?" Sun Jian asked Cao Cao suspiciously.

"You'll see later." Cao Cao thought it would be better for them to see this kind of thing with their own eyes.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's cavalry, Ma Teng and Han Sui would not have been defeated so quickly.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's cavalry, he would not have specially trained a heavy shield infantry.

"Brother, Cao Cao's heavy shield infantry is ahead, can we rush over?" Guo Si asked Li Jue uncertainly.

Cao Cao's heavy shield infantry was unlike anything he had seen before.

Traditional shield soldiers cooperate with spearmen to form a contradictory lineup of guns.

But Cao Cao's heavy shield soldiers not only do not have spearmen, but also have larger shields than traditional shield soldiers.

Seeing such shield soldiers for the first time, Guo Bang was not sure whether their steel cavalry could pass through this layer of heavy shield infantry.

If they can't rush through, these cavalry are lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"I don't know either." Li Jue frowned as he looked at the heavy shield soldier in front of him.

It's not that he doesn't want to go around the flank.

The key is that Cao Cao's remaining soldiers are behind this heavy shield infantry.

Their cavalry is fierce, but their maneuverability is not as good as that of light cavalry. If they turn rashly, it is likely to cause collisions and tramples by the troops behind.

"Let's let the infantry go first and destroy their lineup." Li Jue replied after thinking for a moment.

If it was the traditional contradictory formation of guns, Li Jue would have led the heavy cavalry up.

But Li Jue didn't dare to bet on this weird heavy shield infantry.

Every armored cavalry was expensive, so he had to be cautious.

"Okay!" Guo Si also thought it was a good idea.

Li Jue and Guo Si immediately commanded [-] infantry troops to rush forward.

"kill!"

The sound of fighting instantly resounded in this grassland.

Cao Cao didn't panic at all when he saw Li Jue and Guo Si using infantry to break up the formation, as they expected.

As soon as the commanding banner changed, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici led Qingqi to charge up from both sides.

"kill!"

Seeing this scene, Li Jue and Guo Si panicked.

This infantry of theirs will be given away for nothing.

"I can't control this much anymore, pass on the order and charge with me!" Li Jue and Guo Si saw that the opposing general had already charged, and immediately commanded their steel armored cavalry to charge over, regardless of whether there were their infantry in front.

"Hahaha, goodbye!" But who knew that after Zhang Fei and the others made a circle in front, they immediately turned a corner and turned back.

Although Zhang Fei and others left, the infantry of Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't run away, and were trampled under the hooves of their cavalry.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Guo Si also knew that the two of them had been tricked, so he asked what to do next.

"Come on!" Li Jue gritted his teeth and replied.

Once the heavy cavalry charged, they couldn't stop. The only way they had left was to continue charging!

Dong Zhuo's [-] infantry were like thin paper in front of the heavy cavalry, and they would be torn apart with a single stab.

Sun Jian was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

It was no secret that Dong Zhuo had an invincible steel armored cavalry, but Sun Jian never saw it with his own eyes, and always believed that everyone exaggerated the power of this cavalry.

But after seeing him today, Sun Jian knew what the king of soldiers is.
