On the street filled with the strong smell of blood, a few lonely war horses kept shaking their heads and whimpering sadly.
Their feet were covered with corpses and broken limbs.
Arrows, spears, swords and ring-headed knives were stuck on the corpses.
Torn and blood-stained flags were stuck crookedly on the corpses.
Some fell to the ground and had been trampled into disgrace.
Liu Cheng shook off his cloak dripping with blood and clamped the horse's belly with his legs.
Red Rabbit immediately walked forward and passed a flag stuck on the corpse.
He pulled it out with his hand, leaned back and arched his hips.
A sudden force was exerted from his lower body, and the huge force was transmitted from the crotch to the waist, and then from the waist to the torso to the arms, and the flagpole in his hand was thrown out with a whoosh.
The soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army stationed at the front line of the defense zone watched the entire process of the annihilation of the three thousand Xiliang cavalry from beginning to end.
They all felt chills in their hearts.
How could they still have the will to fight at this time?
With a "Puff" sound, the spear falling from the sky pierced the chest of Xia Mou, the left colonel of the Xiyuan Army who was riding on horseback at the front like lightning.
The spear that penetrated his chest was inserted into the buttocks of the war horse.
Two war horses His hind legs gave way, his whole body sat on the ground, and he let out a long and miserable hiss.
"Ah" Dong Zhuo's soldiers were so frightened that they all took three steps back.
"Master Xia, Master Xia" Zhang Ji got off his horse and walked to Xia Mou and shook his body.
Xia Mou was already dead and had no reaction.
The war horse under his crotch was also seriously injured at this time.
Seeing that it would not survive, Zhang Ji pulled out his sword and stabbed the war horse to death.
He turned around and shouted: "Zhang Xiu!"
Zhang Xiu rode his horse and ran over, clasping his fists and saying, "Uncle, my nephew is here."
"You stay here while my uncle goes to report the battle situation to Lord Sikong."
"Yes, uncle" Zhang Ji quickly rushed to the lobby of the City Guards Military Academy on horseback.
He walked to the middle of the lobby and bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Sir, the cavalry charge failed.
The three thousand Xiliang soldiers were wiped out.
Zhang Ji's battle was unfavorable.
As a result, The soldiers suffered heavy losses, please punish them."
"Why did you kill all three thousand men, Zhang Ji?
What do you do for food?
We gave you armored cavalry.
On such a narrow street, what can stop the charge of your three thousand men?
You actually let them all fall in your hands?"
"What use do I want you to do?
Push Zhang Ji out and kill him," Dong Zhuo ordered angrily.
Two sturdy soldiers outside the door came in with their swords drawn and were about to drag Zhang Ji away.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Ru shouted loudly, stood up and cupped his hands to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, I don't think the defeat in this battle is due to General Zhang’s fault” Dong Zhuo said angrily: "It's not his fault that he lost our three thousand cavalry."
Li Ru smiled and said: "Sir, fighting is actually no different from gambling.
Gambling involves losing and winning, and the same goes for fighting.
Throughout the ages, there have been a few generals who have always been victorious and undefeated on the battlefield.
Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists.
Sir Don't worry too much about it, and the fact that the entire army of three thousand cavalry was wiped out was definitely not a failure of General Zhang's command. , I am afraid that Liu Cheng has made arrangements long ago to prevent our army from using cavalry to charge into the formation.
Wouldn’t it be just in his ambush if your Excellency ordered to use cavalry to charge into the formation?
This Liu Cheng is not simple, he actually thought of the possibility of our army in advance.

He knew how to use his cavalry to rush into battle, so he prepared in advance, and our army just ran into the net pocket he had arranged."
After hearing these words, Dong Zhuo suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and felt a chill in his heart.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Wen You, is it possible that this Liu Cheng has the ability to predict the future?"
Li Ru thought for a while and shook his head: "How can a person have the ability to predict the future?
I think he just considered all the tactics our army might use in advance and made corresponding arrangements.
Sir, we want a short time."
I'm afraid it's impossible to defeat Liu Cheng within a short period of time.
Order the officers and soldiers of all armies to stick to the defense line and wait for a reply from the court tomorrow.
If there is no reply from the court tomorrow, your Excellency will send envoys to see the emperor and put pressure on the emperor and the court."
Dong Min asked at this time: "Wen You, what if the emperor and the court ignore it or delay the time?"
Li Ru had already made up his mind.
He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is easy to handle.
Our army now has an absolute advantage.
If the court ignores our conditions or deliberately delays the time, we can go from the south gate or the east gate.
Launch an attack.
We have people in court doing it.
Internal response, as long as we plan properly, it is not impossible to attack from several other city gates.
When the time comes, the Northern Army will be surrounded by enemies.
It depends on how they resist.
I think as long as we make a siege posture at the south gate or east gate, the emperor and The imperial court will definitely not be able to sit still."
Dong Min immediately asked: "Since we can attack from other gates, why do we have to wait for the court and the emperor to express their stance before we can attack?"
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo understood and said to Dong Min: "Old Third, the purpose of our coming to Beijing this time is not to fight to the death with the imperial troops, but to seize power and control the government.
Therefore, we cannot fight with the imperial troops unless absolutely necessary." in the end" "That's it, then I'll listen to my second brother in everything."
Liu Cheng handed over the cleaning of the battlefield and the deployment of defenses to Xu Rong and others, and then returned to the temporary headquarters with his soldiers.
He jumped off the red rabbit horse, fed the red rabbit some beans, and put the long weapon on the horse.
He and Chituma were handed over to the care of the soldiers, took off their helmets and left the headquarters.
Zhong Yao and Xun Yu have not left yet.
They have been waiting for news here.
Kong Rong, who was awakened by the battle, was also with them at this time.
When they heard that Liu Cheng had returned victoriously, they came out to greet him together.
"Congratulations to the general for returning victoriously," Zhong Yao, Xun Yu and Kong Rong walked out together and saluted Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng put his helmet under his arm, cupped his fists towards the three of them and said, "I've made you worried.
Please come into the room to talk."
Several people returned to the lobby.
Liu Cheng saw Kong Rong yawning profusely and said: "Mr.
Wenju, Dong Zhuo's army suddenly launched an attack just now.
I am afraid that he was thinking of achieving some military victory through this raid, so as to challenge the imperial court and your majesty. exert pressure on His Majesty and The imperial court agreed to their terms, but the attack of Dong Zhuo's army was repelled by me.
Three thousand Xiliang cavalry were wiped out by me.
Dong Zhuo will definitely not dare to attack again tonight.
Duke Wenju will go to see His Majesty and the imperial court tomorrow morning.
Sir, it’s better to go to bed early and rest.”
Kong Rong was tired.
Seeing what Liu Cheng said, he happened to borrow the donkey from Poxia, "In that case, Rong will go to bed first."
After Kong Rong left, Xun Yu said to Liu Cheng: "The general's victory was very satisfying and hearty.

It not only caused heavy damage to Dong Zhuo's army, but also left an unforgettable impression on Dong Zhuo.
In the future, he will only be afraid of the general."
It's very scary, as long as If the general doesn't fight head-on, he will not cause trouble for the general.
From this point on, things will develop in the direction we expected.
As long as we firmly control the situation and move in the direction we planned, the general and our wishes It can be achieved” The next morning, Kong Rong met with the emperor and relayed Dong Zhuo's conditions.
He also gave a detailed introduction to how he met Dong Zhuo and the continuous attacks last night.
Many courtiers were frightened by Dong Zhuo's powerful military strength.
Emperor Liu Bian had no master, and Queen Mother He was even more unsure.
There was still no news from Ding Yuan, and she couldn't hold on, even though there were loyal ministers such as Lu Zhi.
They repeatedly suggested that she could not compromise with Dong Zhuo and insisted on fighting Dong Zhuo to the end.
However, she still failed to resist the suggestions of a large number of ministers and agreed to Dong Zhuo's conditions.
In this battle, Liu Cheng was not defeated, and Dong Zhuo was not victorious, but Liu Cheng was defeated without defeat.
"This group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can they have the dignity to stand in the court?
They should pull these eggless guys out and chop off their heads one by one."
Liu Cheng received the order from Zhao Chun sent by the Queen Mother He at the temporary headquarters.
