At this moment, Hua Xiong knew that he could still break out with dozens of guards, but in this case, these Yellow Turban troops in front of him would rush directly to the barracks, and if they were attacked on both sides, their own lord would be defeated. So he decided to stay and block it, and buy a little time for the lord anyway.

The general of the thief army personally broke into the battlefield to boost the morale of the soldiers, which gave Hua Xiong a glimmer of hope for victory. At a glance, he knew that he was not an opponent, as long as he could kill the thief, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around, and when the time came, he could also lead the army back to the aid of the lord.

These dozens of guards are all good brothers who have been with Huaxiong in Xiliang for many years, and when he gave an order, dozens of cavalry instantly formed a triangular attack formation, using him as an arrow, and went straight towards Zhao Mu.

Hua Xiong and his guards were invincible, and they fought all the way to a place less than fifty steps away from Zhao Mu. And Zhao Mu had already discovered this assault team, retreated back from its edge, and deployed more Yellow Turban troops to block it in front of him.

The evil tiger can't stand the wolves, no matter how strong Hua Xiong's martial arts are, no matter how elite the guards around him are, there are still too few people after all. Facing the Yellow Turban Army, which was several times larger than themselves in front, their momentum gradually slowed down, and then they were surrounded.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu snorted coldly: "It's just a reckless man, and if you want to rely on this little person to come and marry me, it's like looking for death." ”

Seeing the guards around him being picked off the horse one by one and beaten to death, Hua Xiong's heart was full of despair: It seems that he is going to die here today.

"Kill!"

A deafening shout of killing resounded throughout the battlefield, except for the soldiers on both sides who were fighting hard in the center of the battlefield, everyone in the marginal area turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw smoke and dust billowing over there, and soon a black dragon flag appeared in front of everyone.

Hua Xiong swung a spear that pierced him, and shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming, everyone kill me!" ”

Zhao Mu was terrified: "How can reinforcements appear here?" There should be no Han army in Jizhou. ”

As more and more soldiers on both sides saw reinforcements, morale began to change again. Seeing the hope of survival, the Han army rekindled its fighting spirit and greatly increased its morale. Knowing that they were at risk of being flanked, the Yellow Turbans couldn't help but retreat, and their morale was greatly reduced.

From the Yellow Turban Army seeing the banner of reinforcements to the reinforcements rushing into the battlefield, it was only a dozen breaths for the cavalry led by Zhang Hao. It's so fast that Zhao Mu hasn't had time to make any deployments.

The cavalry gallop on the plain terrain could not be more suitable, and the cavalry burst into chaos and quickly destroyed the entire formation of the Yellow Turban Army. Immediately after that, he turned the horse's head and rushed back and forth into the formation several times.

The Yellow Turban Army was overwhelmed and turned around and fled, only to be caught up by the rear army led by Qin Wen, with countless casualties, and finally most of them surrendered.

Zheng Meng slashed a Yellow Turban soldier to death with another knife, Zhang Fei came to his side and asked with a smile, "Brother Zheng, how many are these?" ”

Zheng Meng thought for a while and said, "Well, it should be twenty or twenty-nine." The two of them didn't take the tragic environment around them seriously at all.

Zhang Fei laughed: "Hahaha, I'm already thirty." Brother, it looks like you're going to lose. ”

Zheng Meng suddenly raised his long knife, snorted coldly at a yellow scarf that tried to sneak attack him: "This is not necessarily, now I also have thirty." ”

When the two were pursuing, they found Zhao Mu who was fleeing surrounded by guards, and when they watched them all riding horses, they guessed that it should be the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

They looked at each other and said in unison, "That's mine!" ”

The two rode their horses and rushed over, but the black wind under Zheng Meng's crotch was much better than Zhang Fei's horse, and they quickly left him behind.

"It's not fair!" Zhang Fei roared.

Zheng Meng didn't care about this, and let the black wind accelerate again.

After escaping for ten miles, Zhao Mu found that there were only two horses chasing behind him, and one of them was far behind, so he immediately ordered to stop running away and turned around to deal with these two annoying flies.

More than 20 guards rushed up to beat Zheng Meng, but they didn't expect him to be extremely brave, but he was killed three people one after another. After that, every time he saw an opportunity to kill someone, the number of guards became smaller and smaller.

Zhao Mu saw that he couldn't help so many people, and he had the idea of retreating again. didn't want Zhang Fei to catch up at this moment, and he didn't go to help, so he directly rushed at Zhao Mu to kill.

Zhao Mu let the rest of the guards resist, and he wanted to escape, but Zhang Fei didn't give him this opportunity at all, and directly dodged the guards' strict attacks, holding the tail end of the spear with one hand, and the lightning speed pierced Zhao Mu's chest.

Zhao Mu shouted, fell off his horse, and died of exhaustion.

After the two killed several more guards, several of them surrendered wounded, and the rest fled.

"You are foolish, if I hadn't been entangled, how could you have killed him so easily." Zheng Meng said unconvinced.

Zhang Fei said triumphantly: "If you want to blame, you can only blame your horse for running too fast." That's kind of a rip-off. ”

"Hmph, then I killed several more than you, so I still won."

"This is the head of the thief army, how can it be counted as ten, so I should have won."

With the captive and Zhao Mu's head, the two argued on the way back, and in the end it was a tie and exchanged what they each wanted.

After the battle, counting the Yellow Turban Army who were captured one after another, a total of more than 12,000 people were captured and nearly 8,000 casualties, some of whom were trampled to death by their companions when they fled.

And more than half of the Han army died, leaving less than 4,000 people. Hua Xiong himself was also injured.

Hua Xiong bowed to Zhang Hao and said: "The last general is Hua Xiong, the commander under General Dongzhong Lang, thank you for the general's life-saving grace, and dare to ask the general's name." ”

Zhang Hao was taken aback, Dongzhong Lang general? Isn't Lu Zhi a general in Beizhonglang? Isn't Huaxiong Dong Zhuo's general, isn't this Dongzhonglang general Dong Zhuo?

He recalled in his heart that Lu Zhi was indeed dismissed at this time, and Dong Zhuo took his place, but Dong Zhuo was defeated, could it be this time? I didn't expect to be caught up by myself.

"I am Sima Zhang Hao, another department appointed by General Beizhonglang, and I have just led the army south from Youzhou. I wonder what this Higashichuro will be? Zhang Hao asked knowingly.

When Hua Xiong followed Dong Zhuo in Hedong, he also heard of Zhang Hao's name because Emperor Ling trumpeted the first victory in countering the rebellion.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Cangting, and he looked up for a long time. Beizhonglang will be dismissed by the Son of Heaven, and now the person in charge of the northern line is my father-in-law, Hedong Taishou, and Dongzhonglang will be Dong Zhuo. Hua Xiong said.

Zhang Hao nodded, but Liu Bei, who was standing behind him, had a gloomy face.

Lu Zhi is Liu Bei's teacher, I thought that this time I could defect to the teacher's account, it would be easier to get military merits, and when the time came, there would be people who would speak for themselves, but I didn't expect the teacher to be dismissed by the Son of Heaven.

He just wanted to ask what the reason was, but Hua Xiong continued: "Just now, I had the upper hand in the battle with the thief army, but I didn't know that there was suddenly thick smoke billowing behind me, and I thought that something had happened in the military camp, which caused a big mess and a big loss of morale among the soldiers.

If it weren't for the general's rescue, the whole army would have been wiped out. Now that General Higashinaka is still in the camp and is in danger, the last general implores the general to go with me to the rescue. ”

Although Zhang Hao wished that Dong Zhuo was dead, but now he was his superior and had to be saved.

"This is my duty, and it is naturally my duty."

……

Time back to Huaxiong, shortly after the battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

Because the scouts who monitored the movements of the Yellow Turban Army were removed, Dong Zhuo only knew about the 20,000 people who came in front of him, but he did not know that the remaining 80,000 people had gone around five miles east of the Han army camp under the leadership of Zhang Bao.

The scout of the Yellow Turban Army came back and reported: "General, a group of about 10,000 officers and soldiers went north a moment ago, and it is estimated that they found Marshal Zhao Muqu's team. After that, cooking smoke rose in the camp, and the officers and soldiers buried the pot and cooked without any warning. ”

Zhang Bao laughed: "Hahaha, the commander of this officer and soldier is really incompetent, this is definitely not Lu Zhi." Since Huang Tian gave me this great gift, it would be against the will of heaven not to accept it. ”

He immediately ordered: "The whole army advances, target the large battalion of officers and soldiers, and defeat them!" ”

In the Han army camp, Dong Zhuo was eating.

The thief army in the north was only sent to test the truth, and Hua Xiong could solve it by leading the troops. Now the top priority is to have a good rest, eat and drink enough, and recuperate so that you can fight the main force of the thief army.

At this time, a guard Zhang Huang ran in in a panic and fell in front of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "You bastard, what are you doing in a panic in the army." Come on, drag me out and behead me! ”

The guard shouted in horror: "General, a large number of thieves suddenly appeared outside the east camp, like the main force of the thief army, attacking the camp gate. ”

With a click, the rice bowl in Dong Zhuo's hand fell to the ground, and he stepped forward to grab the guard and picked it up like a chicken.

"What do you say! Isn't the main force of the thief army twenty miles away, how can it appear outside the camp, they can't fly over? ”

He yelled at the guard, spraying the guard in the face with the unswallowed food in his mouth.

At this time, a guard ran in and said in horror: "Oh no, General, the thief army has broken through the camp gate and entered the camp, the east camp has been lost, and they are rushing towards the Chinese army!" ”

Dong Zhuo looked at the guard who had just run in, and saw that he was gray-headed and bloodstained everywhere, so he believed the desperate fact in front of him.

He has just been the general of the East Central Lang and the coach of the northern front not long ago, is this first battle a fiasco? If this is the case, the Son of Heaven must kill him.

No, now that the thief army has entered the camp, he still has hope of counterattacking and remedy.

Dong Zhuo took off his sword and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the other three battalions, follow me to recapture the eastern camp, and fight to the death with the thief army!" ”
