Chapter Forty-Eight: Fighting the Bishui Pass Again (I)

The towering Bishui Pass, there are obvious traces of repair on the wall built of bluestone adobe, the solid Nanmu gate is wrapped with iron and copper nails, the moat outside the pass is deeper and wider than before, the flags on the wall are numerous, the bow and crossbow sword are shining, the whole Bishui Pass is like a majestic tiger, looking at the land of the Central Plains.

With the gradual approach of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army, the garrison in the Guannai has long been in preparation, and Dong Zhuo's reinforcements from Luoyang have also been arranged in place, waiting for the battle, and the people outside the Guanguan have moved to the Guannai as much as possible, and the people who have fled from the disaster have all been put into the Guanzhong, so as not to be affected by the war. Because of the support of the people, bows and arrows, wood, rolling stones, fire oil and lime bottles, which can be used to obtain local materials, are well prepared, the trouble is food, Dong Zhuojun has consumed a lot of stored grain in the last war, although this year's harvest in Guanzhong has made up for a lot, according to the order of Dong Taishi, to distribute food to the fleeing victims, and let these supplements come to naught, and even more than before there is still a shortage.

The number of victims who have been pouring in for many days suddenly increased sharply today, Chen Gong Xu Rong and others knew that it was not good, and asked the victims about the situation outside the customs, and sure enough, a Yellow Turban rebel army had occupied Xingyang, which had become an empty city, and these people fled from Zhongmu and Chen Liu, and Chen Gong also got an important piece of information, the Yellow Turban Army came all the way, and for what purpose, all the people who could not escape in the future were arrested and held hostage.

Chen Gong and Xu Rong immediately found Li Dao and Guo Yan to discuss countermeasures, Xu Rong is a defensive general, good at fighting defensive battles, and it is recommended to stabilize the army and consume the enemy army with leisure; Li Dao and Guo Yan proposed to take the initiative to attack, and the best defense is to attack; Chen Gong, who served as the deputy military division, weighed it again and again, and felt that it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Chen Gong said: "The strongest type of our army is the cavalry, if the passive defense, the cavalry has no use, plus we are not clear about the enemy's situation, the defense will definitely suffer, tonight our army sent the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack Xingyang at night, one can detect the enemy's reality, and the second is that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is extremely fast, if the enemy army is not able to sneak attack, it can also retreat with the whole body, and do not break the spirit of our army." ”

The night fell, the gate of Bishui Pass suddenly opened, Li Dao and Guo Yan led 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry quietly out of the pass, people wrapped their hooves with horses, and went straight to Xingyang in the night, when they arrived at the periphery of Xingyang, Li Dao and Guo Yan found that their preparations were almost wasted, the Yellow Turban Army that occupied Xingyang did not set up a sentry post to explore the horses at all, and even the most ordinary tripping horses were not placed to reject the deer and other things, and even the Xingyang City Gate was wide open, but I saw the fire in the city from a distance, reflecting the sky clearly, and faintly heard the sound of crying and screaming, The cold wind is raging, and it is especially poignant at night.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were secretly happy, just looking at this formation, this yellow turban is just an ordinary wandering army, they don't understand the art of war formation, and they are not a level opponent at all compared to their own side, it seems that this military merit has been decided. Li Dao and Guo Yan arranged it, and suddenly shouted, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry launched together and rushed towards Xingyang City.

As early as the confrontation between Xiliang and the Qiang people, Dong Zhuojun has been brave in the world, killing the Qiang soldiers with spears and horses, and the reputation of the iron cavalry, now this team has gone through the Yellow Turban Uprising, the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants against the state army, and the Tiger Prison Pass Battle against the princes outside the Guan, it is already an undefeated army that has been tempered by thousands of tempers, and it is comparable to the Yellow Turban Army that was hastily formed. At the moment, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was running like the wind, and without waiting for the enemy army in Xingyang City to react, they had already entered Xingyang City.

After entering the city, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like a tiger entering the flock, rushing left and right in Xingyang City, wantonly harvesting the enemy's life, at this moment the Yellow Turban Army in the city is still in the haze, it took half a day to react to Dong Zhuojun's sneak attack, but it was useless to react, this Yellow Turban Army is almost all landless and proletarian Qingzhou hungry people, never underwent formal military training, most of the weapons in their hands are also hoes and wooden forks used in cultivated land, and the usual wars are based on the number of people to bully the less, that is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry opponent armed to the teeth, and was attacked by no one to command, did not resist for long, and fled outside the city. Li Dao and Guo Yan were also afraid of being ambushed and did not dare to pursue, so they only expelled the Yellow Turban Army from Xingyang City, and this sneak attack was over.

"It's so fragrant, these thieves eat meat!" While cleaning the battlefield, a soldier of Dong Zhuojun found the room left behind by the Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time smelled the rich smell of meat, he couldn't help but shout with joy: "Brothers, come and fight tooth sacrifices, these thieves eat better than us!" ”

Dong Zhuojun during this period of time, in order to relieve the victims, no longer dared to drink and drink as much as in the last war, and the soldiers had already faded out of their mouths. "Incense, indeed fragrant." One soldier munched on it and said, "What kind of meat is this?" Thinner than beef, thinner than pork, and not as fat as mutton, delicious. ”

"Oh my god!" A soldier who was eating meat suddenly threw the meat in his hand on the ground, "This is human flesh!" ”

Under the firelight, there was a half-cooked arm lying quietly on the ground, and there were tooth marks left by tearing on the white hands......

Dong Zhuojun's combat power is famous all over the world, and the corruption of military discipline is also the first of all armies, but Dong Zhuojun has a strong logistics supply, and he has never reached the point of running out of food, even if there is really no food, Dong Zhuojun will not hesitate - rob! Robbing the people, robbing the landlords, robbing the government, scraping the land is three feet high, in short, others can't suffer themselves. But there is one thing, Dong Zhuojun has never used human flesh as military rations, in this turbulent era, other armies regard eating human flesh as a common meal, but Dong Zhuojun really has not eaten human flesh, so it is not surprising that they have this reaction......

At the same time, Li Dao and Guo Yan were also pleased to find that there were mountains of treasures in the residence of the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were more than a dozen ** girls who had no time to escape, obviously these were owned by the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. Li Dao and Guo Yan looked at each other and smiled, as if they were separated from each other, when they participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising in the past, they had never had a shortage of treasures and beauties in their own accounts, and the Yellow Turban Army was poor. But now it has completely turned around, Dong Boss has repeatedly ordered them to treat the people well and not to plunder the people's property, although Li Dao and Guo Bi are unwilling, they can see that Lu Bu, the first military general in the world who is usually the most arrogant in the dignified court, has done this, Li Dao and Guo Bi have no choice but to obediently comply, but they have changed for the better, and they can't imagine that the Yellow Turban Army, which had strict military discipline before, has degenerated to this point, which is really ridiculous.

Li Dao and Guo Yan tacitly divided the treasures and beauties equally, and at the same time a thought came to their hearts, Dong Taishi is really a master, desperately collecting beauties in the back room and shouting to love the people......
