Chapter 222: Dong Zhuo retreated
However, when I saw the black-robed young man Zhang Xiu taking a few moves in Xu Ding's hand, and the more he fought, the more energetic he became, he was suddenly overjoyed.
However, after seeing Xu Ding knock Zhang Xiu aside, easily cross and kill him, his face was shocked, and there was no trace of luck.
While commanding the army to block Xu Ding, he was ready to turn around and slip away.
The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!
The shadow of fear that was dominated by Xu Ding drilled out of his little heart at this time.
"Kill!"
That's it!
On the left, a team of men and horses was killed, waving the flag in yellow.
This is Huang Zhong with a thousand men to kill, and a thousand horsemen to attack the left flank of the Xiliang army.
"Kill!"
At the same time, a team of men and horses was also killed on the right, with the flag of the two words Taishi.
This is Tai Shici, who also led a thousand horsemen to kill the right flank of the Liang army to the west.
Two fresh forces rushed over and dragged the left and right flanks of the Xiliang army, so that they did not dare to return to the Chinese army.
The two wings were already missing Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, two fierce generals, and although the number was subordinate, they could not withstand the onslaught of Huang Zhong and Tai Shici.
"Retreat back and pull the battlefield back ten miles." Affected by geography, Dong Zhuo knew very well that his army could not be expanded.
More than half of the troops are useless at all, and they should be used as a model door.
And at this time, he was also very worried about his own safety, and Xu Dingzheng was marching forward with a thousand horsemen.
He felt the proximity of death.
It was only as soon as his middle and rear army moved, and at this time another force came out from the left, and this force he rushed down from the hill, and there were not many of them, only a thousand horsemen.
"Kill!"
At the same time, a group of horsemen also appeared on the mountain bulge on the left, and the number was not large, the same thousand horsemen, also rushing along the mountain.
This is Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Liang Xi and others with a thousand horses to kill.
At this time, Xu Ding's 7,000 horsemen were all killed, like a pack of wolves, surrounding and biting a huge flock of sheep.
The sheep were shocked, the entire battlefield was close to chaos, and Dong Zhuo was busy directing all the troops to resist.
At the same time, he is constantly dispatching the rear army to retreat.
"Kill!"
After retreating four miles, another army of soldiers and horses was killed from the side of the mountain pass.
In front of this army were cavalry, only about a thousand horsemen, and behind were all infantry, not much, only four thousand.
This is Sun Jian's troops.
According to the plan, his troops did not divide their troops, but twisted into a rope and attacked Dong Zhuo's rear team when he retreated.
At this time, although the rear team of the Xiliang army was numerous, it was already frightened by the siege momentum of Xu Ding and others.
The combat effectiveness is far inferior to the troops in front of them who are fighting with Xu Ding and others.
was shocked by Sun Jian's army and quickly routed.
"Ahhh
The rear team was also chaotic, and even collapsed, even worse than the front, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he trembled, drew his sword and slashed, cutting off the pole of the chariot.
"Prime Minister, what now?"
It seemed that the 130,000 troops of their own side were disrupted and defeated by the mere 10,000 people of Xu Ding and others, and Dong Zhuo's generals panicked.
"What should I do, stabilize it for me, continue to retreat, as long as I retreat to an open flat land, Xu Ding and the others will not dare to kill." Dong Zhuo turned his body around, no longer looking at the battle between Xu Ding, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Fan Chou, and others, but at Sun Jian, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Kill! Kill this group of traitors, kill them for me, destroy them, our family will give you the title of general, and add the county marquis ......"
Dong Zhuo's silver bullet encouragement is really the best way to boost the Xiliang Army.
Most of the soldiers of the Western Liang Army came from Liangzhou.
What kind of place is Liangzhou, a place of poverty and bitter cold.
The people are fierce, today is not you to rob me, tomorrow I will rob you.
Those who really survived from the knife edge were exposed to it, and none of them were good at stubble.
No matter what the country's righteousness is, what is not, courtesy, righteousness and shame, it is useless to them.
Only tangible benefits can bring them to their knees.
A pie bigger than the sky fell, and it was no wonder if you didn't grab it like crazy.
So the Xiliang army in the rear team was resurrected with full blood and launched a crazy counterattack towards Sun Jian's department.
Sun Jian, who was enjoying killing, secretly congratulated that Xu Ding's arrangement was successful, and 10,000 to fight Dong Zhuo 130,000 was a great achievement.
As a result, the crazy counterattack of the Xiliang Army was really surprising.
The Xiliang Army still has such a tenacious side.
Sun Jian couldn't move an inch in the slaughter, and countless corpses were piled up around him, and the horses couldn't cross over.
Huang Gai said: "Lord, this won't work, the Xiliang Army is suddenly crazy, and we can't hold it anymore." ”
"How so!" Sun Jian wondered, he was like this, did he give up just because his side couldn't resist the pressure?
"Woohoo ......!"
Suddenly, two arrows rang out in the air.
"This is ......" ordered the arrow to be sent from the central position of the Xiliang Army, where Xu Dingzheng rushed left and right, struggling to kill the enemy.
But after the arrow rang out, it rushed to one side, joined Huang Zhong's part, and then headed towards the mountain pass.
Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”
Sun Jian took people to the side, and Xu Huang, Liang Xitai, Shi Ci and others also withdrew.
Zhao Yun didn't stop Lu Bu anymore, and led people to the original position to kill back.
Xu Ding and the others withdrew, but the Xiliang army did not chase them, even if it was Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo did not order the pursuit, but just asked the generals to lead the troops to slowly retreat and come to a place that was truly open and conducive to the battle of the army to rest.
In the final count, more than 30,000 casualties were suffered in this battle.
After Xu Ding and the others retreated, they went directly back to the newly built camp, and also counted the losses, and together with Sun Jian's troops, there were more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 killed, and the wounded were not among them.
Although Dong Zhuo has changed a lot of soldiers and horses from one to ten, it is enough to make Xu Ding feel distressed.
"Bokang, why did you give up the order to continue to besiege Dong Zhuo?" Although there were many casualties, it was inevitable to be injured in the war, and Sun Jian was not sentimental.
Xu Dingdao: "Wentai, Dong Zhuo retreated a little early today, even if we are chasing, we can only kill and injure more than 10,000 people, and the price we have to pay is to double the casualties, which is quite not cost-effective."
Dong Zhuo has a lot of soldiers and horses, and if he loses one or two thousand, there will still be eighty or ninety thousand, and there are still many soldiers and horses, and we have few soldiers and horses, and if we lose too much, we will not be able to form a containment force, and there will even be a danger of annihilation.
So we can't fight him in the field anymore, and I don't think he will fight our army in a place where the geography is not good.
Next, we have to use the advantages of the camp to defend and wait for the attack, and attract Dong Zhuo to attack, so that we can be more secure.
I sent a message to the coalition forces, maybe it won't be long before they can pass through many checkpoints and enter Luoyang. ”
Sun Jian thought about it and felt that what Xu Ding said was the truth.
After losing two or three thousand, their total losses were more than half, and the confrontation with Dong Zhuo's army at that time was obviously even thinner.
Since Xu Ding sent a message to the coalition forces, they should call over soon.
Therefore, according to Xu Ding's assumption, as long as they hold the camp now, dragging Dong Zhuo will be victorious.
"It's still thoughtful, so let's do it."
