The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

After a month of long journey, 200,000 Wei troops finally entered Liangzhou. Everywhere was desolate and the sky was full of yellow sand.

Cao Cao looked at the vast land and sighed, "No wonder Dong Zhuo was able to dominate the world with Xiliang cavalry in the past. In such a harsh environment, ordinary people can become elite soldiers."

"Report!" The military scouts came on horseback, obviously having detected the enemy situation nearby. This man's name was Niu Jin, and he was originally the brother of Niu Fu, the general of the Xiliang Army. After Cao Cao attacked Luoyang, he surrendered a large number of Xiliang troops. Because Niu Jin was familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou, he was appointed as the captain of the scout camp. Niu Jin reported to Cao Cao, "King Wei, thirty miles ahead of our army is Longxi County. This city is built along Wushaoling Ridge. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the throat of Liangzhou."

Cao Cao asked, "Do you know who the guard general of Longxi is?"

Niu Jin replied, "This man is a famous general in Xiliang. His surname is Pang, Mingde, and his courtesy name is Lingming. Together with Ma Chao, he is called Xiliang Shuangbi. He is brave enough that no man can match him. Because he often rides a white horse to fight, the locals call him the White Horse General." "

Cao Cao said, "Pang De, I have never heard of this person's name, but General White Horse reminds me of an old friend."

Guo Jia, the military advisor on the side, said, "Did the King of Wei think of Gongsun Zan?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Guo Fengxiao is the one who knows how to be lonely." He really thought of this old white-horse general. The white-horse loyal followers under his command made Cao Cao envious. Although he now has tiger and leopard cavalry, but Which hero wouldn't want to have the white-horse Yi Cong who used to roam the northern border?

Guo Jia said, "Our 200,000-strong army is going on an expedition. We should fight quickly, otherwise there may be changes if the front becomes too long."

Cao Cao said, "Does the change in Fengxiao theory refer to Lu Bu in Hebei?"

Guo Jia said, "The King of Yan has 500,000 troops. Once he crosses the Yellow River and goes south, he is afraid that the Central Plains will be lost."

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Don't worry, Fengxiao. Gu and Lu Bu are both people who hope to unify the world. The two sides will not go to war for at least five years. Hebei is a vast country with many noble families and bandits are rampant. Lu Bu will be busy governing Hebei in the past few years." In this land, I want to pacify the northwest and south of the Yangtze River within five years, and then fight Lu Bu decisively to unify the world."

Sand and dust rolled in the distance, the earth shook, and it seemed like thousands of troops and horses were rushing towards us. Cao Cao was confused, "Niu Jin, go quickly and see where the troops are coming from."

Niu Jin took the order and left, returning to the front of the army in a moment, but this time he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder.

Cao Cao asked, "Your riding skills are among the best in the army. Who can hurt you?"

Niu Jin gasped and said intermittently, "Pang... Pang De... led the cavalry... to kill." Because he was too seriously injured, Niu Jin finished speaking. Fainted.

Cao Cao asked someone to carry Niujin down for treatment. He pointed at the Liangzhou cavalry galloping in the distance and said, "Who is willing to fight against Pang De?"

The general replied, "The last general is willing to go." After speaking, he raised his gun and called for the three thousand cavalry to go to battle.

Yu Jinzi Wenze was originally a general under the command of Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei. After Lu Bu defeated the allied forces of the princes at Hulao Pass, Yu Jin joined Cao Cao, fought in the north and south, and made great achievements in battle. He can be regarded as a brave man in the army.

As the wind and dust rose, the Liangzhou cavalry and the Wei army's cavalry formally clashed and decided. Although the Wei cavalry won many battles when they conquered the Central Plains, their shortcomings were immediately exposed against the Liangzhou cavalry whose riding skills were superior to their own.

Liangzhou's cavalry broke down the Wei army's cavalry formation with just one charge. Countless Wei soldiers fell from their horses.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Jin ordered his troops to retreat. Pang De was not willing to miss this opportunity. He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and shouted, "Come on, don't leave." Before he finished speaking, Yu Jin was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and was killed by the Liangzhou cavalry. captured.

When Cao Cao saw Yu Jin being captured, he looked behind him and said, "Who is going to rescue Yu Wenze?"

Xu Huang carried a big ax and rode out with tigers and leopards.

Seeing the majesty of the person coming, Pang De knew that he had met his opponent, so he did not dare to take it lightly and swung his sword.

Two famous generals in the world, the sound of swords and axes clashing can be heard endlessly. You come and I go, killing so smoothly!

The combat capability of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is better than that of the previous Wei cavalry. After all, this is the ace unit that has followed Cao Cao for more than ten years. Even against the Liangzhou cavalry, it is no less impressive.

The two sides fought for half an hour, with each other suffering casualties. Cao Cao was afraid that Xu Huang would make a mistake, so he ordered the gold to be withdrawn.

Hearing the sound of gold ringing from the formation, Xu Huang did not dare to fight and ordered the tiger and leopard cavalry to retreat.

Seeing that many of his men were killed and wounded, Pound also ordered his troops to withdraw and return to the city.

Xu Huang returned to the formation and said, "King Wei, the last general is about to kill Pound, why are you withdrawing your troops?"

Cao Cao said, "Gong Ming and Pang De are both famous generals. If either of you is hurt, I will not be able to bear it. I want to take Pang De for my use."

Xu Huang understood Cao Cao's thoughts and knew his lord's love for talents. He deeply admired him and felt that he was following the right person.

In this battle, the Wei army lost a total of 3,500 cavalrymen, 500 of whom were tiger and leopard cavalrymen, and killed 2,000 Liangzhou cavalrymen.

Pang De returned to Longxi County and asked his brother Pang Rou to go to Jincheng in person to ask Ma Teng to send troops. Pang De and Ma Chao were young friends and were not afraid that Ma Teng would not send troops to help him. Once he had the support of the Ma family's 30,000 cavalry. Pang De believed that he could defeat the Wei army.
