Chapter 1226

Now that LV Budu has arrived in Huguan County in person, Huangfu Chaobo has no need to look into the situation of Huguan county. As soon as LV Budu arrives, his 30000 cavalry and 20000 soldiers must have arrived. In addition, Li Feng's 10000 soldiers, Zhang Yang's 10000 soldiers and 2000 soldiers and 1000 bodyguards who were gathered in the city in the early days, now the city of Huguan There are already 73000 Zhao troops in the area.

Huguan city was originally a small city. If Zhang Yang hadn't moved all the people in the city, there would not have been so many soldiers in the city. Rao is so. Lu Bu's 30000 Bingzhou Langqi and 10000 soldiers were still stationed outside the city, and they were mutual horns with more than 30000 soldiers in the city.

With so many soldiers and horses, it's no wonder that Lv Bu would say that Bingzhou was in his hands and let Huangfu Chaobo take it on his own.

By this time, tens of thousands of troops had been assembled in the Tang army. In addition to the ten thousand Iron Eagle sharp soldiers, Yuan army crossbow soldiers and Tujia soldiers of Huangfu Chaobo guards, there were ten thousand white horse Yicong of Zhao Yun, ten thousand Huben camp of Huang Wudi, fifteen thousand baotao camp visited by Dong, fifteen thousand Yingyang camp of Tian Yu, and twenty thousand garrison soldiers transferred from Hanoi. There were more than one hundred thousand troops in total.

At present, the defense of the pass in the central and southern part of Shangdang county has been handed over to Hujie camp. At present, Huangfu Jianshou, the commander of Hujie camp, has led the soldiers of the two schools to the eldest son City, and the barracks of Shangdang city have been established one after another, taking over the defense of the county and the pass.

After careful selection, the more than ten thousand Zhao soldiers who surrendered in several wars were all incorporated into the battalions. They were separated and mixed with the two schools of soldiers set up by Huangfu Jianshou from Luoyang to form the three schools of soldiers. Among them, the ordinary ones were scattered among the guards of the cities, while the nearly ten thousand captured Zhao soldiers were all initially sent to the front line of Huguan, which will be used as cannon fodder.

Compared with Zhao's 30000 cavalry troops and 40000 infantry, Tang's 25000 cavalry troops and 75000 infantry, Tang's troops did not have much advantage in quantity, but in quality, Zhao's troops were far from each other.

In the state of Zhao, the number of soldiers was small, and the number of elite soldiers was even less. For example, the number of elite soldiers in Shangdang county was no more than 10000. Among them, five thousand guard the county city, three thousand at tianjingguan, three thousand at mengmen, two thousand at Hukou and two thousand at Dongyang. But now there is no battle of 5000 in the county town. 8000 soldiers from tianjingguan, mengmengmengguan and Dongyangguan have surrendered to the Tang army. Only 2000 soldiers from Hukou pass have returned to the county town of Huguan under the bad situation of Zhang Yang. Now there are only 3000 soldiers left in Shangdang county.

There are 30000 in Taiyuan County, but there are 10000 in bird and mouse Valley, and 15000 are taken away by Zhang Liao. Now they are still in the clouds, leaving only the last 5000 people to guard the royal city. Chen Gong and Wei Xu can't let these 5000 people leave the royal city. Therefore, although there are 40000 soldiers inside and outside Huguan County, there are only 3000 soldiers, less than one Chengdu.

On the contrary, there were only 2000 garrison soldiers in the Tang army, and the remaining 55000 infantry soldiers were all elite soldiers. Therefore, their combat power was different from that of Zhao army.

Early the next morning, Huangfu Chaobo left 20000 guards to guard the three camps, and then did his best to guard more than 10000 prisoners and a large number of siege equipment towards Huguan county.

At the foot of Huguan City, a mile away, nearly 100000 Tang troops stood still. Zhao Yun led 25000 cavalry on the left side of the army, monitoring the Zhao cavalry in the West camp of Huguan city.

At this time, Lu Bu left 10000 soldiers to guard the camp, and he led 30000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry to the northwest of the Tang army. With Lu Bu, 30000 cavalry were peeping on one side, and Huangfu Chaobo was afraid to attack the city. He ordered Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to be ready to deal with Zhao cavalry at any time. Then he sent 10000 yuan crossbow soldiers to Zhao Yun's army During the war, all the soldiers were above the intermediate level in horsemanship, so Yuanrong crossbow soldiers were not good at close combat on horseback, but there was no problem in firing crossbows at Zhao cavalry. However, only 45000 soldiers and horses participated in the siege.

With the sound of the war drum of the Chinese army, the ten thousand prisoners of the Zhao army who had already been ready began to march towards the city wall. They all had cloth bags full of soil on their bodies.

At the same time, several miles to the west of Huguan City, the cavalry of Tang and Zhao also started a war.

Zhao Yun led 11000 Baima Yicong to fight with Lvbu's 10000 elite wolf cavalry; huyandu led 10000 Tu cavalry to fight with 10000 ordinary wolf cavalry, while the 5000 cavalry of Hedong Yingyang army joined with 10000 yuan crossbow soldiers to kill 10000 ordinary wolf cavalry on the other side.

On the watchtower of the Chinese army, Huangfu Chaobo looked at the prisoners lying in the moat in the south of Huguan city. From time to time, he turned his eyes to the west, where is the cavalry battlefield.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, said with a smile, "is your king worried about General Zhao Yun?"

Huangfu Chaobo nodded and said with profound meaning: "that's the red rabbit in the horse, and Lu Bu in the man!"

At this time, Zhao Yun was covered with blood. Baima Yi was indeed a number of cavalry in the world, but on the other side was Lu Bu, the God of war of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, the ten thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry he led was the most elite wolf cavalry in Zhao's army, comparable to the one thousand Baima Yi under Zhao Yun's command, but the number was ten times as many, so even the number was ten times Zhao Yun had more than 1000 riders, but he was still beaten by Lu Bu's wolf riders.Fortunately, after several years of training, it was far from the beginning. He led the rest of the white horse to constantly challenge Lv Bu, and gradually drove the ten thousand most elite wolves away from the main battlefield of the cavalry.

On the other two battlefields, Huyan led 10000 Tui cavalry and fought with 10000 ordinary wolf cavalry, while the 15000 cavalry led by Zhao Ling against 10000 wolf cavalry had gradually occupied the peak.

Zhao Ling was originally a general in Xiliang and was good at commanding cavalry. Although she had no chance to command cavalry after surrendering, she did not lose her ability to eat. As early as the beginning of the war, Zhao Yun had already got in touch with them. So at this time, Zhao Ling directly put 5000 Yingyang camp cavalry in the front and carried the attack of 10000 wolf cavalry, However, the 10000 yuan crossbow soldiers killed a large number of wolf riders in the back. When the leader of the wolf riders found that something was wrong, the Yingyang camp cavalry lost nearly 2000 people, but the 10000 wolf riders also killed 2000.

So, the commander of wolf riding ordered a lieutenant to lead 5000 wolf riding around the battle line of both sides and kill Yuanrong crossbow soldiers. They thought Yuanrong crossbow soldiers would turn around and flee. Who knows, Zhao Ling didn't order crossbow soldiers to retreat. Instead, she ordered 10000 Yuanrong crossbow soldiers to put down Yingyang camp cavalry and concentrate on dealing with the 5000 wolf riding soldiers killed to her army .
