The reason why he personally reconnoitred the terrain again was because now Zhang Luo had no way to contact Zhang Liang, even if he wanted to destroy the Han army again, even if he was moved by Zhang Liang's heroism, Zhang Luo had no intention of forgetting his life for this Taiping Dao. In this situation of completely cutting off communication, directly fighting with the Han army will only directly expose you to the fierce offensive of the Han army. The choice of this place, which seemed to pose a small threat to the Han army, was the result of his careful consideration.

As soon as they occupied that position, the Han army also appeared Zhang Luo and others. The one in charge of guarding the valley pass is the commander of the North Battalion. After receiving this news, the sect member was shocked.

As early as three days ago, Feng Shang, the eunuch of the prison army, received an edict from the Son of Heaven, which wrote very harsh words, to the effect that "since the traitor is surrounded, the traitor cannot be allowed to escape again." If the thief escapes, I will find out where the thief ran from, and I will definitely punish him severely. Quick! ”

As soon as this edict was issued, the supervising army, Dong Zhuo, and the sect members were also frightened, and they continued to send troops to attack Guangzong in the following days. But they didn't expect that in the early morning of that heavy rain, Taiping Dao actually highlighted Guangzong in the most difficult rainy and dark night to march, thinking of the edict of the Son of Heaven, Feng Shang immediately joined Dong Zhuo and the sect members to pursue with their elite.

On September 21, Dong Zhuo's troops pursued fiercely, surrounded the Taiping Dao rear team in one fell swoop, and killed 3,000 people. Dong Zhuo, who finally made meritorious contributions, consciously overpowered the clan members by his achievements, and did not take the clan members seriously at all. He was even ready to pursue and destroy Taiping Dao alone.

On September 23, Dong Zhuo's troops were rebelling, but they saw a small force of Taiping Dao on the opposite side, and it seemed that this small force was actually an outpost that was returning to the head to prepare for the attack. Dong Zhuo, who had already eaten breakfast, thought that he could replicate the victory of yesterday the day before yesterday, so he led his troops to kill in the direction of Xiaquyang without waiting for his troops to have breakfast.

This can frighten the sect members in their fifties. Dong Zhuo's move was too reckless, and it was obvious that Taiping Dao was only afraid of an ambush in the direction of Xiaquyang. The sect members couldn't catch up, so they could only lead their troops to hold the front line of the Zhanghe River and prepare to meet Dong Zhuo.

Sure enough, as expected by the sect members, Taiping Dao ambushed people and horses on the road to Quyang, and suddenly attacked Dong Zhuo's department. Dong Zhuo's troops were defeated, and now the defeated troops are fleeing to the front line of the Zhanghe River. And Taiping Dao chased after him.

was about to line up to respond, when he suddenly learned that a Taiping Dao force had occupied his rear, and the sect members were scared out of cold sweat. He didn't think about it and said, "Line up and kill the rebels in the back first." ”

The sect member is responsible for protecting Dong Zhuo's back road, but if the sect member's back road is cut off, the two armies will be wiped out.

"Father, Dong Shuai's defeated army is just afraid that it is coming." Zongxiong, the son of the sect member, hurriedly reminded. In fact, there is no need for Zixiong to remind him, just the shouts that are getting closer and closer, and the shadows of the crowd that can be seen in the rain, the sect members will know.

"Take 800 men and kill the thieves first." The sect member said to his son with a straight face.

Zongxiong also felt that his father's order was more reasonable, and he took 800 Han troops and went straight to Zhang Luo and them.

The closer he got to Zhang Luo's troops, the more surprised Zong Xiong's heart became. I saw that the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side was wearing a thick coat with a hat on his head, and the hat was covered with straw things. They were neatly lined up behind the rocky slope, with only their upper bodies exposed. And every sergeant in the front row has a spear in his hand. What made him feel even more dangerous was that these soldiers stood firmly in place in the face of the swarming Han army, neither attacking nor running away in fright.

Running to a distance of about eighty paces from Taiping Road, Zongxiong's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and he no longer dared to continue to move forward. Stopping the Han army, Zong Xiong ordered, "Fight!" Shoot! ”

There was a crunch, crunching sound of the bow and strings, and the archers of the Han army began to attack. In fact, the rain and fog are very heavy, and you can't see the specific location of the other party. Zongxiong didn't care so much, originally the average archer shot used a three-stage shot, and Zongxiong's chain shooting was a non-stop shooting. It's equivalent to a seven, eight, or even a dozen shots. The advantage of this approach is that it can frighten the enemy with a non-stop rain of arrows, and it can also carry out a continuous attack on the approaching enemy. The disadvantage is that the density of fire is greatly reduced.

After such a series of shootings, Zongxiong really couldn't organize a second round of shooting. In addition, the bowstring will be damp on rainy days, which will affect the lethality, and he can only stop shooting.

When Zong Xiong looked at the camp of Taiping Dao on the opposite side, he was shocked to find that not only did the Taiping Dao on the opposite side not fight back, but the array was still as neat as it was at the beginning.

At a distance of eighty paces, it was still raining heavily, which caused the lethality of the arrows to be greatly weakened, and Taiping Dao used his shield to resist this wave of attacks.

"Swords and shields in front, spearmen in array!"

Seeing that this round of shooting was useless, he gritted his teeth, and ordered his troops to prepare for close combat.

Through the rain, Zongxiong heard someone shouting something in the Taiping Road opposite, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

It was Zhang Luo who shouted, and the content was very simple: "Forty steps to the enemy, listen to my orders!" to be able to attack. ”

Not only that, Zhang Luo was originally standing in the first row of the sword and shield team, but now he pulled out the ring head knife and took two steps forward, and he actually stood at the front of the queue. Zhang Luo's right arm was stretched out, and the knife shone in the rain. Although there was only one person, all the Taiping Dao soldiers were in high spirits when they saw that Qu Shuai, who was originally standing in the first row, actually stood at the front.

After more than a month of training, everyone learned to follow orders before shooting, but when the Han army stood on the opposite side to shoot, the sergeants couldn't help but get nervous. Seeing that Xiao Qu Shuai was actually closer to the enemy than himself, everyone held their breath and left the Han army's ones aside, just waiting to listen to Zhang Luo's order.

Zhang Luo's momentum seemed to be felt even by the heavens, and the rain turned smaller.

.........

"Shoot the arrows!" The deputy marshal of the Northern Route Army shouted.

The herald immediately shouted, and the neatly lined Han army began to shoot at the Yellow Turbans. There was a rain of arrows, some of the Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground, and began to shout in the place where they were hit, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers who were too fierce saw that the knife in their hands alone could not fight against the well-organized sect members, and they immediately retreated back and retreated beyond the range of bows and arrows.

However, the retreating Taiping Dao troops did not flee, they hid behind the rocks in the distance, shouting and scolding at the sect members. Some of the sergeants also picked up small stones and threw them at the Han army.

The distance between the two sides is very far, and a small stone can't hit the Han army at all, and of course it can't do any harm. The sect member didn't care about this, at this time he repelled the attack of five or six Taiping Dao squads, and his mood was getting more and more nervous. Looking at the battle that his son was in charge of, he saw that three miles away, Zongxiong was simply letting go of his gun, and he had no intention of attacking, and the mood of the sect member was even worse.

The sect member has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is very clear about the battle situation at this time - several Taiping Dao troops directly attacked his own troops far away from the battlefield after bypassing the mountains, which means that Dong Zhuo's troops are finished. If he waits any longer, the main force of Taiping Dao will rush to his place.

If it's a sunny day, the sect members are not afraid, and they slowly retreat while fighting. Unfortunately, it's rainy, it's very difficult to retreat, the roads are muddy, and as long as the team is in chaos, Taipingdao will take advantage of the situation and storm it, turning long-range combat into melee and chaotic combat.

Now trapped in the river valley, the roads are all in the canyon. If the battle is lost, the Han army will not be able to break up, and can only be wiped out in the long pursuit battle. Although he still wanted to rescue Dong Zhuo, the sect member knew that it was time for him to give up. If it continues to be consumed, the sect members will also have to bury Dong Zhuo.

"Order, let Zongxiong defeat that traitor!" In the army, the clan members can only treat their sons as a member of the war. ordered his son to intensify the battle, and he himself began to command the Han army troops to prepare for retreat.

After Zongxiong got his father's order, he also knew that he had to deal with the yellow turban thieves in front of him as soon as possible. This group of Yellow Turban thieves was extremely cunning, and the position they occupied was very uncomfortable for the Han army. The mouth of the valley is located in the middle of the mountain, with a mountain on one side and a deep valley on the other. There is a large depression in the mountain wall here. The Yellow Turban Thieves took possession of the high ground against the mountain wall in the depression.
