This ambush battle was launched suddenly, and Dong Zhuo's army was defeated.

When the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao rushed down from the mountainside on both sides, Dong Zhuojun on the official road hurriedly began to organize defense.

Even Dong Zhuo was shocked.

Dong Zhuo himself followed the back of the team, not at the front, but he was disturbed by a commotion from the front, and hurriedly walked out to ask the people in front of him what happened.

"What's wrong? What's going on? ”

"The lord is not good, we have encountered an ambush, and there are ambushes of the Yellow Turban Army ahead!"

"What ambush? How could there be an ambush of the Yellow Turban Thieves here? How many people are there? Is it Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses? ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that he had encountered an ambush, his face also changed, there were not many people under his command, although the remaining people were all elites under his command, but they did not have any advantage in numbers, if they faced the elite soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command, the victory or defeat was still a matter of two words.

Although Dong Zhuo himself was a little confident, he was defeated by Liu Zheng one after another, and his contemptuous attitude towards Liu Zheng at the beginning was immediately swept away, and instead he put Liu Zheng on the same level as himself, and completely regarded Liu Zheng as a difficult opponent.

Naturally, after hearing that he had been ambushed, Dong Zhuo's first reaction was to wonder if these Yellow Turban troops who were ambushing him were Liu Zheng's men.

"Lord, look at the number of these ambush soldiers is about more than 20,000 people, rushing out to kill with great momentum, but I didn't see Liu Zheng Among these horses, there are a few like Liu Zheng's generals who were around Shangcai County before."

Liu Zheng did not participate in this ambush, Liu Zheng, who had just experienced a fight, was resting in the rear at this time, and it was enough for Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to lead these armies with Yang Feng and Guo Tai, and there were fewer people on Dong Zhuo's side.

Although Dong Zhuo soon began to organize manpower defense, after all, he only had 12,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there was still a shortage of manpower against the 20,000 Yellow Turban Army.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, Dong Zhuo's side quickly collapsed.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses would not have been defeated so quickly, but mainly because the speed and offensive of these Yellow Turban Army were too fierce, and the troops under Dong Zhuo's command had a strong fear of the Yellow Turban Army before.

suffered the shadow of being defeated by the Yellow Turban Army one after another, and Hua Xiong was also defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo's proudest cavalry, the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry also suffered heavy losses, and the psychology of these Yellow Turban Army soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo already had an invincible impression.

That's why they quickly threw away their armor in a short period of time, and a one-sided situation emerged.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuojun's 12,000 soldiers and horses injured thousands of people, and some of the remaining ones directly lost their armor and began to flee in all directions.

In ancient times, wars were like this, and once morale was exhausted, it was difficult to improve.

And once the soldiers are defeated, it will be difficult to recover the decline even if the main general is strong.

When the recruits under Dong Zhuojun's command began to flee in all directions. Even the original 5,000 elite soldiers and horses under Dong Zhuo's command began to lose their morale, and gradually escaped from the battlefield with those recruits.

Originally, if Dong Zhuo relied on more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, he could still fight with 20,000 people on Liu Zheng's side, and even the outcome was unpredictable.

But now after a one-sided situation, Dong Zhuo's army was quickly defeated, and in the blink of an eye, most of the people were killed and wounded.

Dong Zhuo and the generals under his command, in this case, also knew that they were powerless to return to the sky and could not continue to fight with these Yellow Turban Army, so they could only order a retreat.

If you don't retreat, there is only a dead end to continue to stay here, but it is better to retreat for the time being, save your strength, and then slowly figure it out.

"Father-in-law, please withdraw from the encirclement as soon as possible, now that we are under siege, if we don't break through from here as soon as possible, I'm afraid that these yellow turban thieves will capsize us in the gutter!"

Feeling the Yellow Turban Army attacking from all directions, Li Ru also had a trace of fear, he, a thin literati wearing a Confucian robe, did not know much about martial arts, and experienced this kind of battle of life and death on the battlefield, naturally he still had some fear, and wanted to persuade Dong Zhuo to leave from here.

Although Dong Zhuo is also a fierce general, he has been fighting everywhere since he was young, following Zhang Huan to fight everywhere, and his martial arts are also extraordinary, but in the face of such a situation, he can only sigh.

"Retreat temporarily, I just hate that He Yi Xiao'er doesn't bring anyone, and pursues Liu Zheng with us, otherwise, with his 20,000 soldiers and horses, he will definitely be able to kill all these Yellow Turban thieves!"

Dong Zhuo still blamed He Yi for this crime at this time, after all, He Yi took people to Shangcai County because of some petty profits, and gave up pursuing Liu Zheng, taking the best opportunity to kill Liu Zheng.

When Dong Zhuo and the others decided to evacuate, the thousands of soldiers and horses in the core began to cover Dong Zhuo and the others' retreat from this battlefield.

Although Dong Zhuo and the others fell into the ambush set by Zhou Cang in advance, the strength of the elite men and horses under Dong Zhuo's command is still here, and it is impossible for Zhou Cang and others not to let go of a Dong Zhuo's people.

The two sides started a fight, but Dong Zhuo easily broke through the encirclement of Zhou Cang and others, easily tore a hole in the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army, and calmly retreated from the battlefield.

Zhou Cang saw Dong Zhuo and the others evacuate from the battlefield, but he didn't send anyone to continue the pursuit.

The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, although Dong Zhuo and the others were attacked by Liu Zheng one after another, and lost a lot of people and horses.

But after all, Dong Zhuo still has thousands of elite soldiers and horses by his side, and these elite men and horses are still much more powerful than these Yellow Turban remnants under Zhou Cang, if they send thousands of men and horses to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Whether or not Dong Zhuo can be killed is still a matter of two words, the worst thing is that if the pursuing men and horses are killed by Dong Zhuo and lose everything, it will really be worth the loss.

Therefore, Zhou Cang did not send people to pursue, but let Dong Zhuo retreat from here.

Dong Zhuo evacuated quickly, but did not go anywhere else, but fled straight back to Shangcai County.

When he first arrived in Shangcai County, he happened to meet He Yi, who had already searched for Shangcai County, and He Yi was about to lead people to continue the pursuit of Liu Zheng, but encountered Dong Zhuo, who fled back from the battlefield in embarrassment.

As soon as Dong Zhuo saw He Yi, he was angry, and scolded He Yi with a slap on his head and face.

blame He Yi for not bringing anyone to hunt down Liu Zheng with him.
