Chapter 142
After making a decision, Li Ru directly led 20,000 Western Liang Iron Horsemen to cross Weishui and galloped all the way to Linjin City.
"Linjin was breached so quickly."
Looking at the banner on the wall of Linjin City, Li Ru's face became more and more solemn.
He knew he couldn't delay any longer.
The sooner you surrender, the better you will be treated.
If he really understood that after Liu Yu attacked Chang'an, he would have surrendered again, it would have been too late.
Thinking of this, Li Ru did not hesitate anymore, and directly led 20,000 Western Liang Iron Horses, bypassing Linjin, and continued to rush in the direction of Chang'an.
Fortunately, the army led by Yu Ban had infantry among them, so it was not fast.
"General, there is news from the spies in the rear that about 20,000 cavalry are approaching us." On the forbidden side, he received the return of the spies, and his face suddenly became solemn.
"Ordered, the whole army on alert, and ordered Yulin Wei to form a formation to defend against the onslaught of enemy cavalry."
Fortunately, at the forbidden time, people were sent to send spies on the left and right sides of the army to prevent the army from being raided.
"Wow"
Watching the army swing 20 positions, after the formation, Yu Ban breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that Dong Zhuo's side still had talent, and he knew how to attack around the rear.
Ordinary generals, if careless, may be sneak attacked.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the Forbidden Army took up its position, he saw cavalry numbering about 20,000 and galloping towards them.
"Tell the Imperial Forest Army to listen to my orders at any time and attack the enemy horses from both sides." Yu Ban calmly and calmly gave the order.
"Wow"
Beside him, Yu Ban's adjutant general hurriedly nodded and answered.
As long as Yu Lin Wei blocked the charge of the enemy cavalry head-on and let the opponent's speed down, the threat of the cavalry dropped by more than half.
At this time, the Yulin Army dispatched, and it could crush the other party.
However, to Yu Ban's surprise, just when the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, he actually slowed down.
Just when the enemy cavalry, only three hundred paces away from Yulinwei, completely stopped.
"What's going on?"
Yu Ban was confused.
The main attack power of cavalry comes from the speed of cavalry.
It is no exaggeration to say that once the cavalry loses speed, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the infantry.
Moreover, if the cavalry wants to charge, it needs a certain distance to allow the war horse to reach the maximum charging speed.
This distance requires at least two kilometers to increase the war horse to its maximum speed.
And at the moment, the enemy is only three hundred paces away, and there is simply no distance left for himself to charge.
Just when he was wondering, he saw a man dressed as a scribe in the enemy army on the other side, riding a war horse and slowly appearing in front of the battle.
"Under Li Ru, I don't know who is in command of the army? Can I see you? Li Ru rode a war horse and appeared in front of the two armies.
"Under the tent of King Wu Naiyan, the leading general, Yu Forbidden."
Yu Ban immediately stepped forward and looked at Li Ru and replied.
The other side dared to come to the front of the two armies, and what was he afraid of.
Forbidden?
Hearing this name, Li Ru frowned slightly.
There are many martial generals under Liu Yu's account, but this Yu Forbidden has some bad reputation.
It's not like Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, or Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan, who burned the White Wolf Mountain and destroyed the 100,000 horsemen in a battle.
Indeed, Yu Ban has played very few times, and there is no decent record, so naturally there is no great reputation.
Even, it's not as good as Lejin.
Although Lejin fought less, he was arranged by Liu Yu to sit in the town and prefecture, which was enough to make Lejin famous.
Having said that, Yu Ban was the leading general under Liu Yu's account, and although he was a miscellaneous general, he was also a general.
"Under Li Ru is the Han thief Dong Zhuo's strategist, for the Han thief Dong Zhuo killed the Han Emperor usurping the throne and claiming the throne, Li Ru was full of grief and indignation in his heart, but he was powerless, and today he learned that the army of King Yan went south, and he came to agree with each other, and hoped that the general would agree." Li Ru said, got down from his horse, and bowed.
"You want to surrender?"
Yu Ban was stunned by Li Ru. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Li Ru may not know Yu Ban, but Yu Ban knows Li Ru, and the other party is the best strategist under Dong Zhuo.
Even, the killing of the deposed emperor Liu Wei back then was done by this person.
Now, you came with 20 thousand cavalry, saying that you came to surrender?
Not a joke?
"Please accept the army."
Li Ru saw that Yu Ban was a little unmoved, and immediately bowed down and bowed again.
He was a little anxious.
He was afraid that now that Liu Yu had broken through Chang'an, he would have no chance.
"This..."
Yu Ban was also a little hesitant for a while.
He is not sure, what is Li Ru going to do, surrender? To be honest, Yu Ban didn't quite believe it in his heart.
He felt that this might be Li Ru's scheme.
After all, the heart of a strategist is dirty.
"Everyone obeys orders."
Seeing that Yu Ban did not reply, Li Ru turned around and said loudly.
"Dismount your war horse and throw away your weapons." Li Ru ordered.
Li Ru's prestige among the Western Liang Iron Riders was still very high, and after the 20,000-strong army was taken out of Chang'an, Li Ru had already convinced the 20,000-strong army.
Sure enough, just after Li Ru's order, all the 20,000 Xiliang Iron Riders lost their weapons, and then neatly rolled down from their war horses.
A cavalryman, without weapons in his hands, and without the blessing of a war horse, his combat effectiveness is equivalent to zero.
"General"
Seeing this, Li Ru turned to look at Yu Ban.
"I will believe you, but how exactly I have to meet the king." Yu Ban looked at Li Ru and said slowly.
The other party was already like this, and he didn't seem to have anything to suspect anymore.
However, in any case, he still needs to report to the king.
"It's nature."
When Li Ru heard this, he was relieved in his heart, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, General." "
At this time, Li Ru's heart was full of joy.
He knew that his life would definitely be saved, and as for whether he would be reused by Liu Yu, the king of Yan, in the future, it would depend on how he dealt with it when he faced the king of Yan.
Yu Ban divided a group of people and collected 20,000 weapons, armor, and war horses of the Xiliang Iron Horse, and at this time he could not trust these soldiers, so he had to do so.
But fortunately, for these Xiliang soldiers, the treatment is good, three meals a day and one broth a day, immediately received the hearts of these Xiliang iron riders.
Even, Li Ru was not needed to appease.
For soldiers, it is already very satisfying to be able to eat a full meal, and if they can still eat meat, it will be even more immortal life.
Especially when these Xiliang Iron Riders knew that the soldiers under Liu Yu had a monthly salary and silver, and their families could still be tax-exempt, they were even more envious and longing.
They also hope that, like the soldiers under Liu Yu, they will have enough to eat, meat to eat every third and fifth, money to take, and their families to be taken care of.
