The speed of the knights in black was completely stopped by two stumbling ropes and a fire.
Liu Cheng immediately pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill" and took the lead in hitting the horse and rushing down.
The guards behind "Kill" also held up their swords and followed behind, forming a miniature version of the sharp arrow formation and rushing down.
The knights in black, who were stunned by the burning fire, had no time to organize a resistance, and were smashed to pieces by Liu Chengcheng who rushed down the hillside and took advantage of the terrain to accelerate.
The power of the knife in the cavalry charge is clearly highlighted at this moment.
It is undoubtedly much more lethal than the spear and the spear, because the knight can chop continuously when holding it, while the spear and the spear are in the cavalry charge.
Zhong could only hold it and rush to the end until the cavalry lost speed.
Liu Cheng slashed continuously with his sword during the charge.
From the time he killed the first knight to the time when he led his guards to completely disperse the knights in black, he slashed twenty-three times in a row, and each sword was a blow.
The result was a black knight.
Dead soldiers are dead soldiers.
Although the formation was completely scattered, they still did not retreat or did not dare to retreat without completing their mission.
These people did not understand cavalry combat at all.
They seemed to stick up and fight with Liu Cheng and others.
This was only Only people who don't understand cavalry tactics would do such a stupid thing.
Liu Cheng and his bodyguards did not stop after they broke through the opponent's formation.
After running a certain distance, they pulled the reins and spurred their horses to turn around.
This process did not involve archery.
When the entire small front arrow formation completely turned around, When they came over, they had already circled the flanks of the black knights.
"Kill" Liu Cheng shouted again, raised his sword and accelerated his horse towards the black knights.
"Fight, fight," a knight in black yelled, raised his sword and slapped his horse to fight Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng, who rushed over, swung his sword and slashed to the left and right sides without even looking at the slash.
Everywhere he passed, knights in black were knocked over and fell off their horses.
After a while, Liu Cheng and his guards reined in their horses and stopped.
The horses were breathing heavily, their swords were hanging down, and the tips of the swords were still dripping blood.
There was no knight in black still sitting on the horse.
On.
An injured knight in black was dragged over by two guards, with a knife on his neck.
Liu Cheng asked: "Tell me, who ordered you?"
The knight in black was also tough.
He looked at the sharp sword on his shoulder.
He gritted his teeth and rubbed it against it.
His neck hit the blade and rubbed it hard.
The carotid artery was instantly cut, and blood spurted out.
He slowly lowered his head, his body still twitching.
Seeing such a scene, Liu Cheng lamented in his heart the horror of the dead soldiers.
These people didn't care about death at all.
They just died without any nostalgia or hesitation.
"It seems to be dawning soon, pack up and prepare to set off to join the army."
Liu Cheng said with a livid face, put his sword into its sheath, and galloped towards the high ground on horseback.
A quarter of an hour later, when the sky was slightly bright, Liu Cheng and Xun Yu led their guards on horseback and galloped eastward.
In the afternoon, they finally arrived at Hongnong to join the army.
Early the next morning, Liu Cheng immediately led his army to march eastward through Mianchi and Hangu Pass towards Luoyang, arriving at Luoyang City in the afternoon two days later.
On the morning of March 5th, Liu Cheng was invited by Dong Zhuo to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss joint efforts to fight against the Kwantung Allied Forces.
Dong Zhuo gave Liu Cheng a very high standard of reception etiquette, and personally went to the front of the mansion to greet him.

The carpet was spread from the front of the mansion to the meeting hall.
He was also greeted by Li Ru, Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, Hu Zhen, and Zhang Ji. , Li Jue and a large number of officials and generals of the Xiliang Army.
Dong Zhuo saw Liu Cheng riding his horse with his bodyguards.
He approached him from a distance and clasped his fists, saying: "General Liu led his army to make the Baibo bandits flee in all directions.
He has achieved great success.
Now he has led his army to return in triumph.
The truth is Congratulations to General Liu from the officials and generals of the Prime Minister's Office."
Liu Cheng jumped off the horse and handed the red rabbit horse to Wang Shuang.
He clasped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said, "Prime Minister, you're welcome.
It's within my generation to send troops to fight against thieves."
"Okay, that's good, General Liu, please, let's go inside and talk."
Dong Zhuo said, turning his body to the side and reaching into the palace.
"please" The two of them walked side by side towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wang Shuang followed with a dozen personal guards, while the others stayed outside.
Li Ru turned his head and looked behind Liu Cheng.
Only Wang Shuang and Xun Yu were there.
Zhang Ji and others followed with a dozen personal guards, and couldn't help but ask: "General Liu, isn't he worried that my prime minister will have swordsmen and axes all over the house and kill the general here?"
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I don't think Prime Minister Dong would be so unwise."
Dong Zhuo said: "Wen You is just joking.
Don't mind, General Liu.
Although our family has not read any books, we still know how to do things that make our relatives happy and our enemies happy at this moment."
When they arrived at the meeting hall, the two parties sat down respectively as guest and host.
The low tables in front of each were filled with fruits, snacks, meat, water and wine.
Li Ru first spoke to Liu Cheng: "General Liu, my prime minister and the general had some misunderstandings before, but now the situation is different.
The princes of Guandong have united to rebel.
In name, they are attacking my prime minister, but in fact they are against the emperor, and they want to use this as an opportunity.
Get rid of the control of the imperial court and become real princes.
If they are allowed to succeed, the world will inevitably fall apart.
General Liu will not disagree with this."
Liu Cheng nodded to Zhang Ji, who immediately said: "The princes of Guandong are ambitious.
Who doesn't know that since the prime minister has invited my general to come to discuss the fight against the rebels in Guandong, please tell me your plan."
"Happy" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "Before I talk about how to resist the princes of Guandong, there is one thing that our family wants to discuss with General Liu.
Our family heard that General Liu sent people to Hanoi, Shangdang, Hedong, etc. not long ago.
Tens of thousands of strong men were recruited from the ground, and now these strong men Ding has gone to Guanzhong for training.
Isn't it too unkind for General Liu to do such a thing behind our back?
You know that the third assistant in Guanzhong is our family's home base, and you also have ten thousand troops commanded by Xu Rong and Zhao Yun in Yi County.
Eight thousand soldiers and horses are all elite and skilled warriors.
You How can this make our family feel at ease?
If our family is fighting with the princes of Guandong in the front, and you come to stab our family in the back, won't our family not even know how to die?
These tens of thousands of strong men are going to Our family has already received news about the training in Guanzhong. , but did not ask Niu Fu to send troops to intercept.
General Liu should know why our family did not do this.
He simply did not want to quarrel with the general.
As the general said, now that the enemy is facing us, should the general show his sincerity and let our family Don’t worry.”
Liu Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know how the Prime Minister wants me to show my sincerity."
Li Ru immediately said: "Please also ask the general to order Xu Rong and Zhao Yun to be transferred to Luoyang to participate in the war.

The general has too many troops stationed in the Sanfu area of Guanzhong.
My prime minister really has trouble sleeping and eating."
Liu Cheng had a low-spirited discussion with Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji and others.
Jia Xu said: "My general agreed to transfer back the troops of Xu Rong and Zhao Yun.
However, to fight against the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes, the amount of food, grass and weapons required is huge.
During the campaign to suppress the Baibo bandits, our army spent a lot of food, grass and weapons, and there is very little left.
We still ask the Prime Minister to allocate weapons and weapons.
Without food, grass and weapons, let alone fight against the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be willing to leave."
Jia Xu's presence under Dong Zhuo was very low in the past.
He was just a small civil servant under Li Ru.
Although Dong Zhuo had met him a few times, he didn't remember him.
Since Jia Xu surrendered to Liu Cheng, he rarely showed up.
So much so that although Dong Zhuo had some impressions of him when he saw him, he couldn't remember anything about him.
Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu and asked, "This gentleman seems familiar.
Why do we feel like we have met somewhere?"
Zhang Ji's mind changed and he immediately said: "This is Jia Xu and Zi Wenhe.
Mr.
Wenhe used to be a civil servant under Master Li Ru, but now he is the general, military advisor and wine minister of our family."
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized it, but he quickly realized it, and his face became extremely ugly.
The guy who was just a small civil servant under him went to Liu Cheng's staff to serve as a military advisor, and he rose to the sky in one step.
Doesn't it mean that Dong Zhuo doesn't know people well, and he has eyes but doesn't recognize gold and jade?
At this time, Dong Zhuo's minister Zheng Tai laughed and said: "Since Wen He walked out of the Prime Minister's Palace, we must not forget the support and teachings of the Prime Minister and Lord Li Ru over the years.
Now Wen He is a military advisor under General Liu."
The Prime Minister, Mr.
Li Ru and our former colleagues are also happy for Wen He.
If you have free time in the future, Wen He should go back to his parents' home often."
Dong Zhuo suddenly beamed and said: "Not bad, not bad.
I welcome Wen He at any time."
Xun Yu changed the topic at this time: "Prime Minister, let's get back to the business.
The coalition forces of the Kwantung princes are almost arriving one after another.
We must come up with a feasible combat strategy as soon as possible and waste time on such trivial matters.
I’m afraid that the gain outweighs the loss in small things.”
Dong Zhuo also put away his thoughts and stopped worrying about Jia Xu's matter.
He discussed with Li Ru in a low voice and immediately agreed: "Okay, since General Liu has brought it up, let me express my true position here.
General Liu All military supplies under his command are supplied by the Prime Minister's Palace, but Xu Rong and Zhao Yun must arrive in Luoyang within half a month."
Although there is a long journey from Guanzhong area to Luoyang, if we speed up the march slightly, we should be able to arrive within half a month.
As long as the roads are clear and the weather conditions are good, there should be no big problem.
Liu Cheng agreed: "Okay, Prime Minister.
After the first batch of grain, grass and ordnance were allocated, I immediately ordered Xu Rong and Zhao Yun to lead their troops."
After further discussion, Li Ru proposed a garrison plan.
Dong Zhuo's troops would guard Luoyang City, Hulao Pass, Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Dagu Pass; Liu Cheng's troops would guard Xingyang and Xuanmen Pass. , Xuanyuan Pass, Mengjinguan, Xiaopingjinguan
