Chapter 354: The Battle of the White Horse is the third update White Horse County, belongs to the East County.
There is White Horse Mountain in the territory, and the ancient book opens the mountain and says: "There are white horses walking on the mountain, and the river breaks when it roars, and the landslide when it gallops away."
Therefore, it is called Baima in the county, and it is called Baimajin in Jin, and they all take the name of Baima Mountain.
At the Baimajin Ferry, there are many water villages, and the three thousand defenders hold on to the water villages with strong bows and crossbows, and the wooden stakes are dissatisfied in the shallow water in front to block the ships of the Gongsun army in Hebei from approaching.
The river wind hunts, the waves roll, there are very few ships on the river, but the defenders in the water village are still like facing the enemy, a big yellow crossbow, a branch of sharp arrows, aiming at the river, ready to go.
Since the city of Liyang was broken and the Yellow River was blocked by the warships of the Gongsun army, Liu Yan had a premonition that Gongsun Bai was about to cross the river to the south and attack Baima, so he had already sent a book to Guandu and asked Cao Cao for reinforcements.
Although he knew that Gongsun Bai's warships were irresistible, Liu Yan still did not dare to give up the Baimajin Ferry, so he had to block it and buy time for the reinforcements of the army.
Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan, wearing chain chain armor, holding a long knife, personally guarding the water village, at this moment he is standing on the highest watchtower in the water village, nervously looking at the river and distracted.
"It's coming," the guard next to him shouted in a low voice.
Liu Yan looked up, only to see that on the white river, suddenly a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun surged up at the place where the water and the sky met in the east, and the dark cloud was surging bigger and bigger, and when you looked closely, you could see that a large number of ships were surging.
Gongsun Bai's fleet Liu Yan was shocked and shouted urgently: "Blow the trumpet, prepare to attack" Woooooooo The sound of a huge horn continued to rise, rippling on the river, alarming the surrounding waterfowl, which scattered in all directions, either diving into the bottom of the water or soaring into the sky.
The fleet is getting closer and closer, and gradually you can see the situation on the battleship, only to see the soldiers of the Gongsun Army, with strict armor all over their bodies, standing proudly behind the arrow stacks on the fighting ship, and the rows of soldiers in front of them are holding long knives in one hand and a big shield in the other, and the fighting spirit is monstrous.
As soon as he saw this formation, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the side of this fighting ship was like a city wall, blocking the body of the armor soldier in the ship from the bottom in the side of the ship, plus there was a big iron shield in the front row, no matter how powerful the big yellow crossbow was, the damage to the Gongsun Army on the battleship was also minimal.
Hula-la The sails hanging high on the fighting ship, swaying fiercely in the wind, urging the battleship to gallop like flying, and the waves of the water further pushed the hull forward by the wind, but in the blink of an eye, the white sail shadow was close to within a hundred steps of Bai Majin.
"Release the arrow," Liu Yan drew his sword and yelled.
Woohoo Inside the water village, crossbow arrows continued to shoot out, emitting a strong wind-breaking sound, like a meteor shower, drawing arcs in the air and shooting towards the surging warships.
Dangdangdang Tuk-tuk The rain of arrows that came from the slope was either shot on the big iron shield in the hands of the Gongsun army, or on the thick boat gang, making a fierce collision sound, although the power was incomparable, the Gongsun army in the battleship was in danger.
The group of battleships was getting closer and closer, and the crossbow arrows in Cao Jun's hands had already fired two rounds, seeing that the enemy's battleships were already approaching within fifty steps, but there was no damage at all, Liu Yan finally collapsed, and shouted excitedly: "Withdraw, quickly withdraw, retreat to White Horse City" After speaking, he took the lead in running down the watchtower, and under the escort of the guards, he jumped on his war horse and headed towards the White Horse City in the south.
As soon as those Cao soldiers heard that the main general ordered them to retreat, they fled from the water village with crossbow arrows one after another, followed Liu Yan, and fled in a swarm.
Boom, boom, boom One after another battleships slammed into each other viciously, and those diving stake obstacles, if they were to resist ordinary ships and fishing boats, it was not worth mentioning in front of such a behemoth as a fighting ship, they were knocked to the ground, and then they were crushed under the ship, and the menacing fighting ships were rampaged into the water wall.
There was a cracking sound of wood breaking everywhere, and the wooden pillars in the water village were knocked down one by one, and after a while, a large piece collapsed, and many Cao soldiers who had not had time to retreat were crushed in the water village, making a terrible scream.
After a while, the water village that stretched for two or three miles was completely collapsed, and wooden pillars were erected horizontally and vertically on the fighting boats, or floated on the water.
Knock knock On the fighting ship, the drums of war rose excitedly, and countless Sanssouci soldiers raised their knives to break the wooden pillars in front of them, followed the boat ladder, rushed to the ferry, and killed them on the shore.
At this time, Liu Yan had already led thousands of defenders to flee two or three miles away, and fled towards White Horse City as if he were desperate.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were not in a hurry to lead the army to catch up, but to reorganize the queue by the river beach, and for a time tens of thousands of worry-free troops crowded the Baimajin ferry and the riverbanks on both sides, with long knives like forests and armor like snow.
An hour later, the 50,000 Sanssouci army, under the leadership of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, marched mightily towards the White Horse City, and at sunset, they divided their troops to the White Horse City, and camped outside the north gate, preparing to attack the city.
The red sun is slanting in the west, and the 50,000 troops under the White Horse City are arrayed like mountains, and a long knife emits a dazzling light under the sunlight, and the dazzling light is connected together, like a lake.
At the head of the city, Liu Yan couldn't help but gasp: "The soldiers and horses in the north are so majestic, no wonder Gongsun Bai can be invincible in the north." ” A person on the side sneered: "In my opinion, it's just a chicken and a dog's ears."
This person is Zhang Xiu, the new Yangwu general who joined Cao Cao, and since he and Liu Yan jointly guarded the White Horse, he has always been arrogant and does not take Liu Yan in his eyes.
Liu Yan couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart: You are so powerful, why do you still defect to Cao Gong However, it was inconvenient for him to say it, so he just laughed dryly, and then pointed to the two tiger generals under the banner of the Chinese army and said: "This is the famous generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under Lu Bu in the past, and both of them have the courage of ten thousand people." ” The look of disdain in Zhang Xiu's eyes became even stronger, and he laughed and said: "The general of the defeated army, why worry about it, I will take the heads of the two of them like a bag to take the ears."
Liu Yan finally couldn't hold his face, he had just been killed and fled in defeat, but Zhang Xiu said that taking the heads of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun was like probing for something, wasn't this a slap in the face However, Liu Yan is very good at cultivating kung fu after all, and just smiled slightly: "Don't take it lightly, Liu also heard that the general is invincible, and there are two thousand cavalry that followed from Xiliang in the past, which is extremely brave, but I'm afraid that before the soldiers and horses in the north, it is still a little worse." ” Since Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, although he was worshiped as a general of Yangwu, in fact, there are not many people in Cao Ying who really take him seriously, and his status is far inferior to his previous strategist Jia Xu, and now he is sent by Cao Cao as the deputy general of Liu Yan, who is not known, is extremely unbalanced in his heart, so he doesn't take Liu Yan in his eyes everywhere, and now he can't help but be furious when he hears Liu Yan look down on him like this.
"What does it mean that Gongsun Bai has some ability, if it is a white horse righteous servant, I have to be a little jealous, now the two new generals who came, with a group of recruits who have never fought in battle, how can Zhang put it in his eyes If he doesn't believe it, Zhang is willing to lead two thousand Xiliang cavalry to rush and kill for Cao Gong for a while, even if he can't behead the dog head of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he must also pull back for Cao Gong for a while, and frustrate his spirit" Liu Xie had long been fed up with Zhang Xiu's arrogance and rudeness, and forcibly held back his anger and said: "There is no joke in the army, and the general must not be ignored."
Zhang Xiu became more and more angry and said: "Take the pen, if you can't win, please behead a certain head" After speaking, he ordered the attendants to take paper and ink, and immediately made a military order.
Liu Yan was overjoyed, but said with a smile on his face: "In this way, congratulations to the general on his triumphant return, this official is willing to personally cheer for the general."
Zhang Xiu said proudly: "Okay, so there will be too much work."
After saying that, he strode down the tower with his gun.
The Sanssouci Army had just secured its stitches, and suddenly the war drums at the north gate of White Horse City were loud, and then the north gate was opened, and Zhang Xiu, the defender of White Horse City, led the army to meet it Zhang Liao and Gao Shun immediately slashed horizontally, their whole body was shining with cold light, and among the two pairs of tiger eyes, they were murderous.
The 50,000 troops behind him stood in the sunset like heavenly soldiers and generals, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
The long knife is like a forest, the battle spirit is monstrous, and a pair of eyes eager to fight are closely staring at the enemy army opposite, ready to attack at any time.
The Sanssouci Army has not tasted a battle since its formation, and has long been gearing up and eager to try, and now the enemy army has actually poured out, and they have been waiting for the moment to fight to their heart's content.
The gates of the White Horse City were wide open, and a group of people and horses rushed out.
The first person, wearing Tang Yi Xuanjia, holding a long knife, came on a horse, and the black cloak behind him was hunting and fluttering in the morning breeze, it was Zhang Xiu, the chief general of the Cao army.
The dust was all over the sky, the horses' hooves were up, and more than 2,000 iron horsemen rolled in, closely following Zhang Xiu, and slowly stopped three hundred paces away from the Han army.
The two thousand iron cavalry behind him are Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji, one of the four fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, and the cavalry brought from Xiliang, which is also the only survivor of the Xiliang iron cavalry that was the only one left in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was the only one left in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was in the Megatron Tiger Prison and made the princes of the Eighteenth Road suffer.
After Zhang Ji's death, these Xiliang cavalry followed Zhang Xiu and dominated Wancheng for a long time, so that Cao Cao did not dare to go south easily, and now followed Zhang Xiu to Cao Cao.

The Xiliang cavalry is extremely brave, and the war horse under the crotch is also the best among the Xiliang war horses, and the combat effectiveness is not under the tiger and leopard horse.
At that time, the Flying Bear Army was the elite division of the Xiliang cavalry, and it could even compete with the white horse righteous servants with the same equipment.
This is also the reason why Zhang Xiu dared to make a military order, with only 2,000 cavalry, it is impossible to defeat the Sanssouci Army, but it is not difficult to rush and kill hundreds of people in this newly recruited Gongsun army, and then calmly return.
The newly recruited army, because of the lack of experience in the battle array, and because it has not experienced the baptism of blood and fire, the morale and willpower are also insufficient.
Zhang Xiu's spear was pointed, the momentum was like a mountain, and the sound was like a huge thunder: "You wait for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun Xiao'er, who were originally lost dogs, how dare they raise troops to invade our city, and now Xiliang Zhang Xiu is here, can you dare to fight to the death with me" Without waiting for Zhang Liao to answer, Gao Shun beside him was already furious, and said to Zhang Liao urgently: "Wenyuan, Zhang Xiu'er deceived me too much, if you rely on more to win, it will bend our prestige, why don't you let me lead the camp to break the enemy." ” Zhang Liao looked stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, prestige, although brave in the camp, after all, it is infantry, and the strength is only one-third of it, I am afraid it will be difficult to win." ” Gao Shun hurriedly said: "Now I have Wei Gong's divine weapon, and it is as easy as a palm to defeat it. ” Zhang Liao no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Gao Shun was overjoyed, and immediately waved the long knife of 100 steels in his hand: "Trapped in the camp, out of the ranks" Today's three more words have been offered.,At least two more tomorrow.,Please also look at the pirated.
