The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Besides, Xu Huang didn't have 2 people under his command at this time.

Most of these people under him were assigned to these newly established cities, and there were at most 12,000 cavalry around Xu Huang.

Once this manpower is encountered in the wild.Those Xianbei cavalry's attack, the probability of retreating unscathed is very small.

Not to mention defeating these people.

But despite the relatively small number of troops, facing this situation, Xu Huang could not give up on his brother, so with these more than [-] troops, he killed the city closest to Zhenyuan City in just two days.

After he got here, he didn't attack rashly, after all, his own troops were insufficient.

Instead, they first dispatched a large number of scouts to inquire about the movements of the Xianbei cavalry.

Knowing that those people were surrounding Zhenyuan City at the moment, Xu Huang calmed down after not taking any more actions, and began to think about how to deal with these Xianbei people.

Head-to-head confrontation is definitely not enough.

Firstly, the troops under Xu Huang's command were far inferior to the opponent's.

Secondly, Xu Huang didn't have any reinforcements, so he could ask for them.

Xu Huang knew too well what kind of situation Liu Zhengzhen was facing at the moment.What happened on the Jingzhou battlefield, I am afraid that all the soldiers and horses that Liu Zheng can use have been mobilized.

Liu Zheng has no more soldiers and horses to support the northern battlefield.

Therefore, Xu Huang's strategy of sticking to it without reinforcements was the only thing he could think of.

Only by staying through this crisis first, and waiting for the Jingzhou battlefield to recover, let Liu Zheng send soldiers and horses to Xu Huang, can we have the strength to fight.

Fortunately, these cavalry are not good at attacking the city. They just need to stick to the city and carry on for a few more months. These Xianbei people will retreat on their own. After all, it is already October, and the winter in the north will come in a while up.

At that time, the road will be blocked by heavy snow, and there will be hunger and cold, and these Xianbei people will not be in such an environment.

Let's attack the city again.

Two months only need to stick to it for two months.

I thought that these Xianbei people appeared on the grassland to besiege Zhenyuan City, and they did nothing else.

But it wasn't until Xu Huang's soldiers and horses entered the grassland that he realized that he had been tricked.

The [-] Xianbei people immediately dispatched a full [-] soldiers and horses, and quickly surrounded several other cities on the grassland. Even Xu Huang himself was besieged in the city.

Twenty thousand cavalry were trapped on the steppe.

Although there has been no fighting for a while, the turmoil in the north has also begun to disappear.

The anti-thief forces that had been suppressed in Youzhou began to move again.

At this time, those small forces that Liu Zheng recruited before finally began to have a place to use again.

Gongsundu, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, quickly took over the entire Youzhou after Xu Huang left.

Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Yan Rou and other eunuchs, under the command of Gongsun Du, immediately began to blockade the Echeng Pool in the county.

Because without Xu Huang's soldiers and horses guarding them, all parts of Youzhou became cities with little protection.

When the winter is about to arrive, the Xianbei people will definitely not have any good intentions. On the one hand, they will start to come to Youzhou to plunder the grain and grass for the winter, and on the other hand, they will also capture some Han people and use them as slaves.

And Youzhou has just stabilized after those battles before, so naturally it doesn't have much strength to deal with a war of this scale.

Gongsun Du could only let them hold on to the city first, waiting for reinforcements.

At the same time, the only reinforcement Gongsun Du could think of was Zhang Liao, who was training in Jizhou at this moment.

Zhang Liao was previously promoted by Liu Zheng to be the new army commander, responsible for training [-] new troops.

The [-] new troops were re-conscripted by Liu Zheng in Xuzhou and Jizhou, some of them were the old troops under Yuan Shang's command, and some were supplemented from the reserve troops from various places.

This kind of training started soon after Zhang Liao took office.

It's just that time has not passed. This new army of 2 people, except for the coach Zhang Liao who has some strength, most of the people under his command are novices.

For example, the generals of the various teams are either students who graduated from military schools, or generals who joined Liu Zheng with Zhang Liao before, but the sense of presence is not very high.

So Liu Zheng didn't even remember their names.

Such people have no time to train. If we really say that their combat power is very strong, I am afraid that Zhang Liao himself will doubt it.

However, even if he has never been on the battlefield, Zhang Liao can make a difference.

Gongsun Du passed the news to Zhang Liao. After Zhang Liao understood Xu Huang's plight, he led his [-] soldiers and horses to the north to support him without saying a word.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and 89 Zhang Liao's Cavalry Battalion

Zhang Liao's men set off from Jizhou, passed through Youzhou, and headed straight for Zhenyuan City.

Fortunately, the troops trained by Zhang Liao were also cavalry.

This is the horse that Liu Zheng snatched after he occupied Jizhou and Youzhou and wiped out the Karasuma people.

In the previous battle of the Northern Expedition, Karasuma, Yuan Xi, and later Ke Bineng brought more than 10 cavalry.

Most of these cavalry were beheaded by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

Only a significant portion of the horses remained.

These horses were naturally caught and raised by Xu Huang and his men.

So in a short period of time, the number of horses under Liu Zheng's command suddenly increased by more than 10!

This gave Liu Zheng the plan to train the second cavalry.

With these horses, Zhang Liao formed this new cavalry team.

Although this cavalry has only been trained for less than two months.

But these men and horses themselves have some foundations, and most of them are reserve soldiers from various counties and counties.

When he was on duty in the county, he went through some meticulous training.

It's just that there is no experience in the battlefield.

Under the command of Zhang Liao, these people were not afraid, but quickly came straight to the grassland.

Zhang Liao knew what the environment of Xu Huang and his men on the grassland was like, so he didn't even hesitate.

After directly reporting the situation to Gongsundu's Jinyiwei spies, they went to support Xu Huang's main force.

At this moment Xu Huang was besieged in the city.

He really wanted to break out and attack these Xianbei cavalry.

However, there were 2 soldiers and horses surrounding the city, and Xu Huang led these troops to fight with him.

The chances of winning are not high, even if you can win, you will lose a lot. At that time, not only will you not be able to solve any problems, but it will be easy for your soldiers and horses to be donated on this grassland.

This made Xu Huang not in a hurry to break through. Anyway, according to his initial strategy, as long as he delays for two or three months, the enemy troops will retreat by themselves.

It's only been a dozen days, Xu Huang can wait, but these Xianbei people can't wait.

Their purpose of coming here is also very clear.

Just as Xu Huang and the others thought.

On the one hand, it is to regain the territory Ke Bi Neng lost.

On the other hand, it is to prepare food for the winter.

Before, they were able to plunder Ke Bineng's territory.

Or go to Bingzhou Dahan's territory to grab.

But now Liu Bei sent someone to join him. On the surface, he had reached an agreement with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, which was regarded as an alliance, so he was naturally embarrassed to rob Liu Bei's territory again.

So the only way to put this idea on Liu Zheng.

After Budugen realized that these Han soldiers were planning to stick to the city, but they couldn't come out, he began to think of other ideas, leaving only a part of the troops to station here.

And send another part to various parts of Youzhou to plunder food, grass and people.

The 2 army was divided into [-] by Bu Dugen, and they went to raid cities in various places.

However, they came too late.

Gongsun Du had already made an arrangement that most of the people in the wilderness would live in the city.

It's just that Gongsun Du went there at this time, because it was a harvest gathering, and they were no better than others, and they could directly harvest the grain and grass in the wild and go back.

It's not a disadvantage either.

However, when Bu Dugen and others came to Youzhou together, they happened to meet the troops led by Zhang Liao.

Although Zhang Liao's men were only [-] new troops, their combat power was astonishing, with the help of stirrups, and Liu Zheng protected his cavalry with armor.

In the field, a round of encounters took place.

Zhang Liao personally commanded and fought these Xianbei people.

This is not the first time Zhang Liao has fought against Xianbei people. Back in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao was Ding Yuan's general. At that time, they were dealing with the Huns in the north of Bingzhou.

With the baptism of the battlefield over the years, Zhang Liao today is no longer the Zhang Liao of the past.

The strength has greatly improved.

After deliberately encountering these cavalry, Zhang Liao immediately divided his soldiers and horses into several parts, and launched an attack on the enemy with a shock formation.

Although these Xianbei cavalry were formidable, they had never really fought against Zhang Liao's men, let alone knew that Liu Zheng had Zhang Liaoxin train these cavalry formidable.

So as soon as the battle was fought, Zhang Liao's men and horses immediately showed momentum, and they were not as vulnerable as Zhang Liao thought.

Even in the impact with the opponent's cavalry, he did not lose the wind.

This made Zhang Liao's confidence soar, and he had stronger confidence when fighting against the enemy cavalry.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought on the grassland, and the 2 troops faced each other.

For a while, Zhang Liao's 2 new army was not defeated, but became more courageous as they fought.

Those Xianbei troops who were killed were retreating steadily.

In the end, he had to withdraw to Budugen's side.

But Budugen also learned at this moment that there are still [-] cavalry wandering around.

After realizing this, instead of feeling afraid, Budugen became more excited.

Because only the soldiers in the wild can let Budugen lead the soldiers to conquer, and the soldiers hiding in the city cannot fight.

Knowing that there were soldiers and horses outside, Bu Dugen immediately led the cavalry to encircle and suppress.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei also passed the news to Xu Huang in the city.

After learning that Zhang Liao led 2 new troops to support, Xu Huang's expression changed drastically, and he was quite surprised.

It's not that he was worried about Zhang Liao, but that he only needed to defend, but now he had to take the initiative to attack.

Take the initiative to attack, although Xu Huang is also certain that he will cooperate with Zhang Liao to defeat these grassland Xianbei cavalry, but he will definitely suffer losses, which is not in line with Xu Huang's style.

He originally just wanted to block Bu Dugen's attack at the least cost.

He did not expect this situation now, of course Xu Huang is not afraid of it, since Zhang Liao did not travel thousands of miles from Jizhou to support him, then naturally he would not let Zhang Liao ignore him, and even led his own cavalry to march from the city The city gate directly fought with the Budugen remnant cavalry outside the city.

After several battles in succession, Budugen's [-] cavalry suffered a lot of losses.

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, together with some local county soldiers stationed in the city, are actually not much different from each other in terms of strength.

In this way, there are not many disadvantages when fighting.

For a while, both sides had their own winners and losers.

The battle didn't end in a short time, instead it just ended in a stalemate.

However, the situation of the battle in the north quickly spread to all parts of the Central Plains through Jinyiwei.

Especially Liu Zheng, who was confronting Liu Bei's army in Jingzhou at this time, also knew the situation in the north at this time.

This made Liu Zheng even more worried.

() The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and ninety implementation plan

After knowing that there was a group of Xianbei people doing things on the northern battlefield, Liu Zheng only wanted to resolve the battle on the Jingzhou battlefield as soon as possible so that he could spare time and energy to support the northern battlefield.
