156 Broken Dong
When Sun Jian and Liu Bei's combined forces arrived, it was early in the morning, and Dong Zhuo's men and horses had just assembled and prepared to meet the battle. Sun and Liu Lianjun just ate a mouthful of dry food and drank a sip of water, and they had already killed them. Sun and Liu joined forces, won consecutive battles, morale is high, at this moment, everyone dares to fight, all of them are vying for the first, all thinking that the great achievement is in front of them, to destroy this dynasty food, capture Dong Zhuo alive, in order to seek a glory and wealth, a wife and a son.
On the other hand, the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command had no fighting spirit, was war-weary, and had low morale, all of which had the intention of returning to their hometown. However, although the morale of the Xiliang Army is low, the men and horses under Dong Zhuo's command are all elite in a hundred battles, well-trained, and Dong Zhuo's command is also extremely fast.
Sun and Liu, who attacked overnight, could not be on guard. Seeing more than 1,000 Xiliang army iron horsemen rushing on horseback, there were already hundreds of elite soldiers, wearing half-body iron armor, holding spears, lined up in front, and behind were archers with strong bows and crossbows, lined up in formation. The general who commanded the strong crossbow was none other than a native of Nanyang, and Huang Zhong, who was now appointed by Liu Bei as the captain of the strong crossbow.
Huang Zhong's archery skills are actually good, but they are not too subtle, but the image of the invincible arrow of the old Huang Zhong in the romance is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Liu Bei still decided that Huang Zhong commanded the crossbow troops.
The Xiliang army galloped over, Liu Bei watched from a distance, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh", the speed of the Xiliang army's charge seemed to be a little slow. Suddenly remembered that many of the war horses captured by Liu Bei along the way were skinny, and it seemed that not only the morale of the Xiliang army was low, but even the horses were hungry and thin.
Think about it, Luoyang City has been burned to ruins, Guanzhong is dilapidated, and the supplies are very empty, even if there are more reserves, after a year, they will be almost consumed.
When the Xiliang army was still more than a hundred steps away from the front, the strong crossbowmen took out the strong crossbow they carried with them, mounted the feather arrows, and a rain of arrows came. The cavalry charge, the emphasis is on moving forward, especially the impact on the bow and arrow position, which cannot be stopped at all.
But the general who led the troops, suddenly, thought of the old state of seeing Dong Zhuo today, and I don't know why, suddenly thought that if Dong Zhuo is not there one day, the men and horses under his command will be the capital to settle down in the future.
Thinking of this, the general suddenly stopped, just because the general had the idea of both ends of the rat in his heart, the Xiliang army was shot by this rain of arrows, and he didn't dare to rush forward again, but hesitated and became confused.
Liu Bei, who saw it, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked left and right: "Is this move of the Xiliang Army a plan to lure the enemy?" β
Sun Jian said: "The morale of the Xiliang army is low, and they don't even have the courage to charge into battle, and it is not difficult for Dong Thief to break it." β
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to lead hundreds of iron cavalry to attack the Xiliang army from the left and right. Liu Bei looked carefully and found that his men and horses had been lined up, while Sun Jian's men and horses were still in chaos, and he was happy in his heart, it seemed that his soldiers and horses were much better than Sun Jian's elite.
"Damn it!" The leading general scolded, he was a little selfish just now, and now he is facing such an unfavorable situation, and he is in a dilemma at this moment.
I saw thousands of feather arrows, carrying the strong wind, drawing a parabola in the air, first flying to the highest place, and then sliding downward, just falling in the chaotic array of the Xiliang Army, and immediately shot over. The general just supervised the battle from behind, gritting his teeth and watching his subordinates, one by one being knocked to the ground by the enemy's sharp arrows.
At this moment, the cavalry sent by Liu Bei rushed under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun each led the cavalry, which had already lined up in formation, rushed out from behind the arrow array, and quickly ran to both sides of the Xiliang Army that was in chaos, and then, slightly tidying up the formation, everyone held a horse pistol, put the horse gun flat, and then under the leadership of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, they shouted and began to charge.
The cavalry of the Xiliang Army was already in chaos, first killed and wounded by a rain of arrows, and then by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led the cavalry under their command to an impact, and was immediately rushed into chaos, and finally turned around and fled in chaos, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun chased and killed for a while, and waited until the Xiliang Army fled into the camp, and then stopped.
Seeing that the former soldiers were losing ground, Dong Zhuo was furious and scolded angrily, "Waste." He ordered: "Someone came, beheaded the general of the former army, took his head, and ordered the three armies." β
"Spare your life, Xiangguo spare your life." The general hurriedly begged for mercy, Dong Zhuo ignored him, someone beheaded the former army general, and took the first command of the three armies. Dong Zhuo saw that the front army was defeated by the combined forces of Sun and Liu, so he ordered all walks of life to attack, harassing the combined forces of Sun and Liu from both flanks, trying to disrupt the formation of the combined forces of Sun and Liu.
At this time, the combined forces of Sun and Liu had approached, and Sun Jian's troops had also been sorted out and lined up in front.
Sun Jian was dressed in bright light armor, holding a seven-foot broadsword, riding a white horse more than seven feet high, and carrying a red silk without a helmet on his head. This feature is very conspicuous on the battlefield, as if it is a red flag, leading the corporal under Sun Jian, and also attracting the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo opposite.
Sun Jian stared at the Dongzi banner in the distance, the immortal merit was in front of him, and Sun Jian's heart was hot. roared loudly: "The national thief Dong Zhuo, right there, capture and behead Dong thief, injure thousands of gold, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households." "Sun Jian understands that it's useless to talk to Xiaobing about any big reason, it's still the most practical thing for Chiguoguo to take out the reward." Beat the drum and march into ......"
Sun Jian and Liu Bei joined forces with tens of thousands of people, and seeing that Dong Zhuo's front army was forced back into the camp, Sun Jian personally led the elite troops of his headquarters, a total of more than 10,000 people, to storm Dong Zhuo's army.
Liu Bei didn't dare to be like Sun Jian, personally leading the team to charge into battle, but just sitting in the middle army and commanding the army.
Sun Jian personally led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo's army with indomitable might. Because Sun Jian took the lead in charging into battle, there was also "wounded thousands of gold, sealed ten thousand households." The high morale is not decent. Sun Jian didn't care about the casualties and attacked Dong Zhuo's army, as long as he broke Dong Zhuo's army, the Xiliang army would naturally be bold. And Liu Bei sat in the rear, commanding men and horses to resist Dong Zhuo's troops and horses from all walks of life.
Dong Zhuo saw Sun Jian attacking his own Chinese army, looked left and right, and finally said to Lu Bu: "Sun Jiang Jiangdong Tiger, an extraordinary person can be the enemy, Feng Xian is brave and invincible, known as the 'flying general', can compete with Sun Jian, Feng Xian can lead the people and horses of the headquarters, and I will help you ride thousands of fine horses and defeat Sun Jian with me." β
LΓΌ Bu took the order and brought men and horses to fight with Sun Jian, Sun Jian and LΓΌ Bu had fought once, regardless of victory or defeat, but this time LΓΌ Bu did not want to lose too many of his own Bingzhou soldiers, and more commanded the Xiliang army sent to him by Dong Zhuo to fight against Sun Jian.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's men and horses also saw that the situation was not good, and all the generals in Dong Zhuo's army also led their own troops to attack, but Liu Bei's strict defense did not give Dong Zhuo much opportunity.
Sun Jian fought hard for a long time, regardless of casualties, launched round after round of fierce attacks, Dong Zhuo's army retreated, Lu Bu was unwilling to fight to the death with Sun Jian, and lost his troops and state. Finally, Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo's front army and broke into Dong Zhuo's headquarters in one fell swoop, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
When Dong Zhuo saw Sun Jian, he wanted to step forward to face the battle in person, but he thought that he was the prime minister of the dynasty and had an extraordinary identity, so he should not fight to the death with Sun Jian on the battlefield.
So, just commanded the soldiers on the left and right to step forward, Sun Jian attacked fiercely, Dong Zhuo's army formation gradually became chaotic, banners and drums gradually mixed, and Sun Jian's elite soldiers, after fighting for a long time, gradually scattered,
At this time, any strategy and tactics are useless, just to see who has higher morale and can hold on better, and who can't withstand it, it will be a big rout.
At this time, Sun Jian had already killed a hundred steps away from Dong Zhuo, and saw Dong Zhuo's banner from a distance, Sun Jian looked at it with disgust and shouted: "Dong Zhuo!" β
Dong Zhuo looked at Sun Jian, although his old eyes were dizzy and he looked down on Sun Jian's face, but he could see the red silk on Sun Jian's head, as if it was a burning flame, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, as if the flame could burn himself, Sun Jian reached out and took a spear in his hand, and roared, "Dong thief, take your life!" With all his strength, he threw it at Dong Zhuo, but before the spear arrived, it was already blocked by Dong Zhuo's guards. Dong Zhuo looked back left and right, and no one dared to step forward and face Sun Jian's might.
Sun, Liu Lianjun and Xiliang Army, Sun Jianjun because the main general Sun Jian personally led the team to charge, not only morale was not exhausted, but the more brave the battle, but Dong Zhuo's morale is getting lower and lower, Sun Jian's onslaught regardless of casualties, so that the Xiliang Army was terrified, first one by two fled, was killed by Dong Zhuo's supervision team, and then retreated in twos and threes, followed by the escape of the whole team, the supervision team was also killed, and even some of the defeated soldiers fought with Dong Zhuo's supervision team in order to escape for their lives, Dong Zhuo did his best, Wanting to stop the rout, but unfortunately the general trend was set, he sighed and said, "Alas! Big things go. Orders were given to the ministries to withdraw their troops. β
After that, turn the horse and leave, the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo is all cavalry, and they fled on horseback, and Sun Jian and Liu Bei are all foot soldiers, and they can't pursue.
Looking from afar, Liu Bei sighed, I really didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be defeated like this, at that moment, Liu Bei said: "Dong Zhuo will be defeated." β
Both left and right said: "Dong Zhuo has been defeated, and he asked the lord to order the pursuit." β
Only Xi Zhi said: "Otherwise, Dong Zhuo's defeat has been decided, the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, don't fight with him, you should slow down." β
Liu Bei looked at Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai said: "The Xiliang army has become a poor man at this time, although the Dong soldiers are defeated, but Dong Zhuo's left and right soldiers and horses are all elite divisions, when they are at this end, they are bound to fight to the death, whoever wants to stop them from fleeing for their lives, they will fight with whom." It is better to follow the pursuit, which can reduce casualties. What's more, General Dong Zhuo, although he retreated, I expected that he would be prepared. β
