Chapter 17: Sun Jian as a striker
Sun Jian was known for his bravery in Jiangdong, he didn't think so much, he only focused on attacking Luoyang and making his first achievements.
Ordering all the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, Sun Jian fiercely killed and ran to Bishui Pass.
Not to mention anything else, just with this ferocious momentum, Sun Jian deserves to be called the Jiangdong Tiger.
After Sun Jian sent out the army, Bao Xin, one of the princes, suddenly thought that if Sun Jian was allowed to get the first merit, wouldn't Sun Jian be a great prestige, and he would kill Dong Zhuo in the future.
The camp of the headquarters of the Shangyong Army, Liu Yu's big tent.
Guan Yu strode in and said: "Big brother, as you expected, there are really people among the princes who don't want Sun Jian to get the first credit, that is, Bao Xin, the prime minister of the northern part of the country, and he secretly sent his brother Bao Zhong to lead 3,000 men and horses to grab Sun Jian and rush to Bishui Pass. ”
Zhao Yun admired: "The eldest brother is like a god, but I don't know if Bao Xin can really grab Sun Jian and make the first move." ”
Guan Yu then puzzled: "Yuan Shao obviously wanted the eldest brother to be the pioneer, but the eldest brother was unmoved, so he let Sun Jian take it, and now let Bao Xin's brother take the lead." ”
Liu Yu smiled incomprehensibly: "The two virtuous brothers think that this head is really so easy to stand? Bao Zhong will die if he goes, and Sun Jian will not be able to get good if he goes. ”
When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this? ”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "The alliance of the princes seems to be huge, but in fact it is just a plate of scattered sand, the princes have their own plans, and they are not united, Sun Jian is still not allowed to come out, and it is not suitable for his brother to be a member of the Han family, and it is not suitable to come out this time. After speaking, Liu Yu turned to look worried and sad.
……
As Liu Yu said, Bao Zhong took 3,000 men and horses to take the road and rushed to the front of Bishui Pass to challenge.
Hua Xiong only took five hundred Liangzhou elites out of the city to fight Bao Zhong.
"Hmph, the thief will leave the city, wait for me to take his head!" Bao Zhong saw that Hua Xiong only had 500 soldiers and horses out of the city, and his confidence suddenly increased, he brandished his weapon and rode his horse towards Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong sneered, not taking the seemingly brave Bao Zhong in his eyes at all, and when Bao Zhong was close to the front, Hua Xiong raised his knife and fell, and cut Bao Zhong off the horse in only one round.
"Kill!" After killing Bao Zhong, Hua Xiong rushed over with 500 Liangzhou elites and 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Bao Zhong.
Bao Zhong's 3,000 soldiers and horses, when Bao Zhong was cut off by Hua Xiong in one round, they were already frightened, and their morale plummeted.
Most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses were captured by Huaxiong, and less than 30% escaped.
Hua Xiong won a big victory in the first battle, he personally cut off Bao Zhong's head, threw it to the soldiers beside him, and laughed: "Hahahaha, send this head to Luoyang and hand it over to the prime minister, let the prime minister sit in peace, and then cut off more princes' heads and present them to the prime minister!" ”
Bao Zhong's death not only made Hua Xiong laugh, but Sun Jian also laughed when he heard it.
After Sun Jian laughed, he snorted coldly: "It's not a pity for Bao Zhong to die, Bao Xin's move is to damage the soldiers and break his brother, and he is generous, but it's a pity that the morale of Dong Zhuo's thief army has increased in vain!" ”
Zu Mao said disdainfully: "Who has the hero of the other eighteen roads, if the brothers of the Yuan family are not relying on the shadow of the fourth and third princes, how can they lead the princes today, then the three Liu Yu brothers have taken the city three times, which seems to be very prestigious, but Yuan Shao originally intended to make him a pioneer, but he pretended not to see it, he was really cowardly, only the lord is the real hero!" ”
Sun Jian's four generals, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu.
Sun Jian was arrogant, but he immediately calmed down and ordered. "Everyone, don't talk too much, we will immediately kill Ben Bishui Pass, and also kill a member of Dong Zhuo's thief army, and reinforce the prestige of our coalition army."
Half an hour later, Sun Jian led his army of 20,000 to the bottom of Bishui Pass.
Sun Jian was dressed in silver armor, holding a big ingot knife, majestic and imposing, he stepped forward and scolded at the city: "You are waiting to help Dong Zhuo's traitor, it is for no way, why don't you go out of the city and surrender immediately, lest I enter the customs area and lose your life!" ”
Sun Jian was violent, and his scolding was like thunder, which frightened some Dong Zhuo Liangzhou soldiers in the city, whose faces turned slightly pale, worthy of being Jiangdong Tigers, and their prestige was not much worse than the tiger's roar.
At the head of the city, Hu Zhen, who is Huaxiong's deputy general, is also a general under Dong Zhuo.
Previously, Hua Xiongcai led 500 elite soldiers to behead Bao Zhong and broke the 3,000 soldiers and horses brought by Bao Zhong, Hu Zhen saw the provocation of Sun Jian's 20,000 army under the city, and he also wanted to make a contribution like Hua Xiong, so he also took 5,000 Liangzhou army elites out of the city to fight, confident that he could also kill Sun Jian with 5,000 elites and break Sun Jian's 20,000 army.
"I am a Hu Zhen under the command of the Prime Minister, who dares to step forward and die!" Hu Zhen pointed a gun at Sun Jian and shouted murderously.
Hua Xiong didn't come out, and Sun Jian naturally didn't bother to step forward in person.
Cheng Pu shouted angrily: "It's enough to kill you, I'll kill Cheng Pu!" ”
After that, Cheng Pu held a spear, and Pegasus rushed out to take Hu Zhen.
The two of them then fought back and forth together.
Although Hu Zhen is also one of the generals under Dong Zhuo, he is ranked low, far worse than Hua Xiong, but Cheng Pu is one of the four generals under Sun Jian, with good martial arts, and the two fought fiercely for ten rounds, Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen in the throat with a spear and killed Hu Zhen off the horse.
With a good opportunity, Sun Jian did not hesitate to lead the 20,000 troops under his command to kill: "The whole army rushes and kills!" ”
The 5,000 Liangzhou army is not Sun Jian's opponent of the 20,000 Jiangdong elites, and the main general Hu Zhen is dead, the dragons are leaderless, and their morale has plummeted, so they just want to escape back to Bishui Pass as soon as possible. In the end, more than half of the 5,000 Liangzhou army was wiped out by Sun Jian, and less than half fled back to Bishui Pass.
Sun Jian won a big victory, and the morale of the army under his command was like a rainbow.
Cutting off Hu Zhen's head, Sun Jian instructed Huang Gai: "You take this head to report to the alliance leader, and go to Yuan Shu to urge grain and grass." ”
Yuan Shao is the leader of the coalition army, and Yuan Shu is the governor of the coalition army grain and grass, if the princes and horses of all walks of life are short of food, they must go to Yuan Shu to report to receive it, therefore, if Yuan Shao has the highest status in the coalition army, then Yuan Shu is second only to Yuan Shao.
After the victory, Sun Jian continued to provoke the Liangzhou army under the city.
In the Guannei, Hua Xiong heard that Hu Zhen was beheaded and the 5,000 Liangzhou army was defeated, and more than half of the losses were lost, he was furious, so he wanted to carry a knife and lead his troops out of the city to face Sun Jian in person.
"The general can't be underestimated, Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, his four fierce generals, the one who beheaded General Hu was only one of his fierce generals, and General Hu was beheaded in only ten rounds, if Sun Jian personally took action, and besieged the general with four fierce generals, the general was afraid of being defeated." Someone caught up and persuaded Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong was stunned for a moment, Sun Jian's reputation was extremely prosperous, he was indeed a little jealous, after thinking about it, he still postponed going out of the city to face the battle.
Immediately, Hua Xiong climbed the city wall and forced Sun Jian's army back only with bows and crossbows.
Sun Jian had no choice but to retreat twenty miles and station, waiting for grain and grass to arrive and the main force of the coalition army to arrive.
