Chapter 10: The Night Battle (1)

Xu Rong stared intently in the direction of the mountain, quietly waiting for the appearance of the enemy army. Although Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru's advice, he led a group of men and horses to ambush in the low mountains on both sides of Xingyang Road to intercept the pursuing troops of the coalition army. However, what worried Xu Rong was that Dong Zhuo only gave himself 30,000 foot soldiers, in case the enemy army came, these ambushes didn't know how much effect they could play?

Although before leaving, Jia Xu, a staff member under Dong Zhuo's account, had comforted himself that the princes of the coalition army had different thoughts, and it was unlikely that the pursuers would appear, and even if there were really pursuers, the number would never be large, and 30,000 horses would definitely be enough to defeat them. Although Jia Xu usually did not show himself in the Xiliang army, and was not reused by Dong Zhuo because of his taciturnity, Xu Rong knew that he was a hidden hermit, and he had always admired his resourcefulness. But I don't know why, Xu Rong just couldn't suppress the apprehension in his heart, and kept thinking about what if the coalition army really dispatched a large group of people?

But it's useless to think about it so far, in short, my duty is to do my best to resist the possible pursuers.

After lying in ambush in the valley for nearly two hours, Xu Rong didn't see a single enemy soldier, which made his heart feel a little lighter. But since Xu Rong is known as the best leader in the Xiliang Army, he is definitely not a wasted person. Although he waited for two hours, he still did not slack off, and as long as it was not dawn, he would not let down his guard.

Finally...... After waiting for two hours, a group of centaurs appeared in his eyes.

"Closer......" Xu Rong calculated the distance between the two sides. Although he couldn't see clearly in the night, Xu Rong had rich experience in marching and had fought a lot of night battles, so a cursory observation could confirm that the opponent did not have many soldiers and horses. At this time, it is enough to wait for all the enemy troops to enter their ambush circle, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Kill ——!" With Xu Rong's order, the ambush soldiers in the mountain dock swarmed out and rushed towards the enemy army at the bottom of the mountain.

"Formation, meet the enemy!" Looking at the sudden enemy attack, Cao Cao also had a gloomy face and gave the order to meet the attack. Fortunately, his army has long been prepared for a possible ambush, and he will not be at a loss to deal with it. If you were caught off guard by such a surprise attack, you might have to stay here for your life. Thinking that he only wanted to use the 5,000 men and horses of his headquarters to rashly pursue at the beginning, Cao Cao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

The two armies soon collided with each other, and the sound of fighting soon resounded in the sky, and the corpses were constantly falling.

The Cao-Liu coalition army was far less numerical than Dong Zhuo's army, and the enemy army was rushing out from the mountains, which caused their own terrain to be unfavorable, so they quickly lost the upper hand. However, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei, the four god-killing figures, rushed back and forth in the enemy formation, and this scene was also quite spectacular. I saw that where the four horses passed, the severed limbs of the first level flew sideways, and the ** plasma splattered, and its power was unstoppable.

"Happy!" However, after a moment of hard work, Zhang Fei, who had the most violent temperament, was red-eyed, and swept out with a backhand spear, and two good heads were cut off. Looking at the enemy soldiers around him cowering and frightened, Zhang Fei suddenly felt a sense of arrogance in his heart. With his own martial arts, except for the second brother, who in the world can be his opponent! Even if Lu Bu came in person, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

Hmph, that Cao Cao himself looks pleasing to the eye, at least judging from his actions of pouring wine for his second brother, he should be considered a good person. It's a pity that Cao Cao's subordinates have such an eyeless guy who has so much respect for a little white face, and I don't know if that little white face has been hacked to death by the enemy soldiers with a sword now.

It's just that the scene Zhang Fei saw afterwards was enough to surprise him and say not a word.

I saw a silver spear shining in the night, and the whole gun danced like a phoenix in the enemy formation. However, although the phoenix's dance is graceful, it breathes of death from time to time, and wherever the tip of the spear is pointed, all life is endless.

And looking at the person who wielded the gun, it was the little white-faced Zhao Yun that Zhang Fei despised him.

Although Zhang Fei is proud, he is a narrow-minded person from time to time. Seeing that Zhao Yun's martial arts were so exquisite, he also felt a little admiration in his heart. After all, in all fairness, I would never be able to play that kind of marksmanship. But if Zhang Fei wants to admit that Zhao Yun is the first person under Lu Bu, it is absolutely impossible, after all, although he may not be as superb in marksmanship, but if he really goes head-to-head, Zhang Fei does not think that he will lose to the other party.

Seeing that Zhang Fei was distracted, several soldiers around him thought that there was an opportunity, so they raised their guns and stabbed him. It's just that the wooden gun in his hand has not been fully lifted, and Zhang Fei can hear a cold snort, and then there are a few more corpses in the chaotic army.

"Do you still want to sneak attack me with this little skill? Don't say that I'm slightly distracted, even if I'm asleep, don't want to hurt me at all! ”

At this time, Gao Shun was fighting not far from Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei's voice shouted extremely loudly, Gao Shun listened to it word for word, and couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule.

In addition to Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Dian Wei and others also noticed Zhao Yun's outstanding performance here. Guan Yu's slightly narrowed Danfeng's eyes showed a fine light, and a trace of battle intent flashed from time to time. And Dian Wei was even more enthusiastic, exuding a strong murderous aura all over his body. Obviously, both of them have regarded Zhao Yun as a master of the same level as themselves.

And other generals, such as the Xiahou brothers, sighed secretly: "The ancients had a sky outside the clouds, and there were people outside the people, and I can't deceive them." ”

In addition to the four generals Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and Dian, the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Gao Shun Lejin are not generals. The courageous performance of these brave generals in the two armies greatly boosted the morale of the Cao-Liu coalition army, and 10,000 people were able to withstand the impact of the 30,000 troops of the Xiliang army in adversity. Who said that the personal bravery of the generals could not control the battle situation, if it were not for the indomitable momentum of these brave generals to greatly encourage their own soldiers, and at the same time caused a great deterrent effect on the enemy army, I am afraid that under this three-fold gap in strength, the damage of the Xiliang army is only a few, and the loss of the Cao-Liu coalition army is at least more than twice that of the current one.

However, after all, the strength of the Xiliang army was 20,000 more than that of the Cao-Liu coalition army, and although the generals of Cao and Liu were brave, the motivating effect of their personal martial arts would eventually fade slowly as the battle progressed. Sooner or later, the Western Liang Army will be able to turn the battlefield into their slaughtering ground and devour the Cao-Liu coalition army.

But it's a pity that after the Cao-Liu coalition army, there are still 10,000 elite soldiers under the command of the Jiangdong Tigers.

When the Cao-Liu coalition army began to be unable to support the offensive of the Xiliang army, Sun Jian's 10,000 people happened to join the battlefield.

When Xu Rong saw that other armies appeared, his heart suddenly cooled a lot. The hunter and the prey inadvertently complete the transformation of each other's roles. The sudden appearance of the Jiangdong Army made the Xiliang Army, which had a large advantage, suddenly fall into a situation of being flanked in front and back.

Although there are no such superb generals as Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and Dian in the Jiangdong Army, the reputation of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai of the Jiangdong Tiger is resounding in all directions, and it is said that when Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian was tackling key problems, the first thing he thought of was to marry his daughter to Jiangdong in order to ask Sun Jian to retire. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's meanness and strict deduction of grain and grass, Hua Xiong would have been Sun Jian's ghost under the knife, where would it be Guan Erye's turn to be in the limelight? His subordinates Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals are not vegetarians, although their martial arts are not first-class, but they are all good generals. The Jiangdong Army is all soldiers of a hundred battles, and the quality of its soldiers is second to none in the entire coalition army. These 10,000 people slaughtered into the chaotic army, and it was really like a fierce tide rolling wildly, stirring up a lot of waves.

Although Dong Zhuojun still has an advantage in numbers, Dong Zhuojun doesn't know this. All they know is that they are fighting and suddenly another army comes in, and people always think in a worse direction when they are pessimistic, and many people subconsciously think that this new army must be far outnumbered by themselves. The original ambusher suddenly became the besieged, which was by no means a small blow to morale, coupled with the fear of the unknown situation of the enemy army, the current situation has taken a sharp turn for Dong Zhuojun.
