Chapter 106: Fierce Battle Beiqu

The princes of the Eighteenth Road gathered in Chen Liu and worked together to discuss Dong, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City had already received the news, and immediately beat the drums to gather the generals to discuss the retreat from the enemy. In the lobby, Dong Zhuo sat in the middle, next to him was the think tank Li Ru and Li Wenyou, and there were more than ten generals standing side by side, all of whom were tall and bright. The head of the left hand is nine feet long, with ape arms and bee waist, and a rough but handsome face, which is the peerless general mentioned by Xi Zhicai--- Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

The first person under Lu Bu is also fierce and abnormal, with a black face and steel hair, it is Dong Zhuo's partial general Hua Xiong, and the other Guo Yan, Xu Rong, Fan Chou, etc. will stand solemnly, each in good spirits.

"That erector Cao Mengde failed to assassinate a certain family, ran back to Chen Liu, and issued an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, gathered more than 300,000 troops of more than a dozen princes to enter Luoyang and capture a certain family alive. Dong Zhuo said loudly.

Before Dong Zhuo's words fell, Lu Bu had already flashed out and knelt down in the hall.

"Father, Bu De Father's kindness has not been reciprocated, Hugh said that there are more than a dozen princes outside the Guan, 300,000 troops, and Bushi regards it as a mustard. Please get 30,000 iron horses, and the son will be broken for the father, and he should behead the heads of the princes of the eighteen roads and return, and hang them at the east gate. Lu Bu made a loud noise.

"Hahahaha, Zhuang Siyan, Fengxian is my son brave and invincible, I have Fengxian, why not be afraid of those rabble outside the gate." Dong Zhuo smiled, extremely proud.

"Then a certain family will send troops with you with 20,000 infantry troops and 30,000 iron cavalry......"

Dong Zhuo was halfway through his words, and Hua Xiong also came out of the crowd.

"Prime Minister, kill chickens with a knife, this matter is not Lao Wenhou in person, the last general invited 30,000 soldiers, and swore to kill the princes outside the Guanwai." Huaxiong's voice is sonorous and has its own majesty.

"Okay, General Hua is loyal and brave, so I will crown you as the governor, and you will go to Bishui Pass with 50,000 elite soldiers first, and my son can lead the troops to stick to the tiger prison, and General Guanhua will break the enemy and think it is a backup."

"No, no." Lu Buhuaxiong bowed down to receive the order.

"Prime Minister, the last general is willing to help the Governor of Huadu!" Dong Zhuo saw at a glance that it was Guo Yan. As soon as he said this, Fan Chou and Xu Rong both stepped forward to ask for their lives.

"The generals are eager to kill the enemy, which really makes me admire, okay, the three of them will go with General Hua to make meritorious contributions." Seeing that his subordinate generals were actively seeking battle one by one, Dong Zhuo was happy in his heart.

After receiving the order, Hua Xiong was about to go out of the tent to order troops, but was stopped by Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's generals knew how wise Li Ru was, Hua Xiong immediately stopped, and said respectfully:

"What else does Mr. Li have to worry about, I will listen to you."

"If the alliance of the princes outside the pass wants to take Luoyang, they must first take the two passes of Bishui and Tiger Prison, and General Jinhua went to Bishui to meet the enemy, and he didn't know how to fight?" Li Ru asked slowly.

"Today, the male will gallop to the water, and when he arrives, he will strengthen the city defenses, and wait for the allied army to arrive, and when he is tired, he will attack it with iron cavalry, and the enemy army will be in chaos, and then I can defend the city pass. His army of hundreds of thousands, once the grain and grass cannot be connected, will retreat after a long time, and then the male will attack it again, and the odds of victory can be exercised. Hua Xiong talked eloquently, and he really knew the strategy.

"Hehe, General Hua is really a general, but it is not easy for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others, and it may not be easy for the general to take advantage of the weakness. There is a Beiqu valley forty miles away from Bishui Pass, but the terrain in the valley is open, extremely sharp cavalry charge, General Hua can leave General Xu Rong to guard the pass after arriving at Bishui, and then ambush in the valley. I think that the vanguard should also be able to recruit the general who is accustomed to war, this ambush is just to let his army be chaotic for a while, and the general will rush to it with iron cavalry, and he will be able to win completely, so that he can frustrate the spirit of the coalition army, and then the general will defend according to the danger, and when he runs out of food, the prime minister and Wen Hou will lead a large army to attack him, and he can be captured in one fell swoop. ”

"Mr. Li's clever plan, so Xiong immediately rushed to Bishui Pass in the starry night, and acted according to Mr. Li's plan." Hua Xiong thought about it carefully and felt that he had great hope of victory, so he readily agreed.

Originally, although Li Ru's calculations were fine, in terms of time, Hua Xiong could not reach Beiqu Valley before Sun Jian. However, Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead, and the grain and grass were delayed again and again with all excuses, which seriously affected the marching speed of Sun Jian's troops, and it was this difference that when Huaxiong arrived in Bishui and left Xu Rong to guard the city, he went straight to Beiqu Valley to arrange, Sun Jian was still dozens of miles away from Beiqu Valley.

Sun Jian led the troops to take the water but was obstructed by Yuan Shu in every way, the military food is always procrastinating, and finally arrived yesterday a batch of grain and grass, and now the water pass is already in sight, he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and now urge the whole army to rush at full speed, as for Yuan Shu, after he has taken the pass and made meritorious service, he will naturally go back and deal with him.

After a short walk, he had already entered the Beiqu Valley, Sun Jian rode a yellow horse at the head of the ranks, and after looking at the terrain carefully, he turned back and said to the generals:

"Out of the valley in front is the Bishui Pass, and we have to speed up the march, and strive to reach the pass tonight, and we can attack the city tomorrow morning."

"My lord, you still need to be careful when marching, you must prevent the enemy army from ambushing at the mouth of the valley." Huang Gai said.

"The public statement is reasonable, but this valley mouth is wide, the inside is open, even if there is an ambush, as long as our army is cautious, it should be no big problem, and it will be delayed by the Yuan Shu villain.

The generals thought about it, such a terrain, even if there was an ambush, it would not be a big problem, and if they wanted to enter, they could retreat with the whole army, and they were all ordered to urge the soldiers to go to the valley mouth. In fact, it is no wonder that they, the south ship and the north horse, and the Jiangdong soldiers are in the world, but they have not paid enough attention to the power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which also laid the groundwork for this failure.

Sure enough, when it was almost at the mouth of the valley, countless flags were erected on the hillside, and the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was like thunder, followed by ten thousand arrows, fortunately, Sun Jian had already prepared, and the shield hand immediately stepped forward to form a shield wall to block the rain of arrows.

Just as Sergeant Sun had just recovered from the momentary chaos, and Sun Jian was still laughing at the enemy's ambush, there was an extremely strong sound of vibration on the ground, and the sound was coming at them from far and near.

"It's not good, it's the sound of the horse's hooves of the cavalry charging, the fast column rejects the horse formation, and the archers come out." Hearing from the voice, this cavalry is probably no less than 10,000 people, Sun Jian's face couldn't help but become heavy, although the terrain in this valley is open and not conducive to ambush, but it is extremely conducive to cavalry charges, although he also thought about it, but he did not estimate that there is such a might.

Finally, the sound of hooves got closer and closer, and the Xiliang Iron Rider also showed a hideous face, hundreds of them were in a column, all of them were tall and big, and the momentum brought up by the galloping of ten thousand horses was really terrifying.

At this time, it also reflected the well-trained soldiers under Sun Jian's command, although they had never seen such a mighty cavalry, the formation was not chaotic, and the archers were under the cover of the shield team, and the arrows rained down and fell into the charging iron cavalry, causing a lot of casualties.

However, in the end, the distance was too short, and after paying a certain number of casualties, the iron cavalry had already rushed into the front line of the Sun army, led by a golden helmet and golden armor, carrying a treasure sword, and shouted loudly:

"Where is Sun Wentai, don't come and die soon." It was Hua Xiong.

Once this iron cavalry approached the foot soldiers, the huge impact force was immediately displayed, although the soldiers of Sun fought bravely, but how could the manpower match the horsepower, and the formation was scattered at once. Hua Xiong even led a team of personal soldiers to rush over against Sun Jian's banner.

"The lord retreats quickly, the enemy army is very difficult to fight, there is a small stream outside the valley when he comes, the lord should retreat there to be safe, I will come to the lord to block the pursuers." Zu Mao shouted.

Sun Jian also knew at a glance that there was no victory today, but he had to slow down the speed of the iron cavalry before retreating.

"Demou, you lead the rear army to retreat first, cross the creek and then reorganize the army, sons, follow me to fight the enemy to the death." Sun Jian shouted loudly, which also raised the morale of the soldiers in a timely manner, and the soldiers marched forward bravely, and fought with the iron cavalry.

Seeing that under Sun Jian's instigation, the momentum of his iron cavalry was delayed, Hua Xiong also secretly praised Sun Jian's success, and he really knew the soldiers. Since this is the case, let someone break your morale, and immediately slap the horse and dance the knife, and kill Sun Jian, Zu Mao saw this and stepped forward to block, who knew that the battle was not Sanhe, and he was slashed under the horse by Hua Xiong's hand, this time the iron knight was more vigorous, but Sun Jian was blood-red. Zu Mao has been with himself for a long time, experienced countless bloody battles, but he didn't expect that today was folded here, but at this time, he knew that his morale could not fall, so he had to personally go to fight that Huaxiong, thinking that his children and soldiers would fight for time to retreat, Xiliang Iron Cavalry was unparalleled, and there were good generals, and his defeat today was in the light of the enemy!

In the blink of an eye, the two generals were already fighting in one place, and Huaxiong's phoenix mouth knife was extremely fierce, like a storm rolling leaves; And Sun Jian wielded the ancient ingot knife, which was also as fast as thunder, like a mountain standing proudly; The two of them have their own strengths, and they are evenly divided. But now is not the time for the two to divide the victory or defeat, Sun Jian blocked Hua Xiong, and after letting the soldiers retreat, he made a false move, turned the horse and left! Where is Huaxiong willing to give up at this time, immediately led troops to chase and kill, fortunately Cheng Pu, who retreated first, used the advantage of the stream to block for a while, Sun Jian was able to distance himself from the enemy, and withdrew to a hill outside the valley, condescending, only to be safe for the time being, but he knew that this was a dangerous place, once he was besieged by Huaxiong, it would be more than auspicious, but if he was on flat ground, how could his soldiers escape the pursuit of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, at this time, he knew that it was to drink to quench his thirst and had to do so, of course, he also sent Sun Ce to ride alone to ask for help in advance, One person riding won't attract too much attention from the other party!

"Hahaha, Jiangdong Tigers, but so, it is an exaggeration to think that the princes will join forces, and the governor defeated the enemy army today, which is gratifying." Fan Chou laughed and stepped forward to say to Hua Xiong, just now he wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by a young man in a lion helmet and silver armor, although that person is young, he is skilled in marksmanship, and his strength is strong, Fan Chou and he still can't take it, if it weren't for Sun Jianshi's defeat, he is afraid that he is not this person's opponent.

"Our army has no calculation against the enemy, plus the power of the iron cavalry, this Sun Wentai can still fight his way out of the encirclement, should not be underestimated, Brother Fan, we are entrusted by the lord, and we must not underestimate the enemy!" If Liu Yi is here, he will be surprised, this Hua Xiong is victorious but not arrogant, and he is indeed a good general.

"What the Governor said is right, now this Sun Jian thinks that he can avoid the edge of my iron cavalry by being condescending, but in fact, he is killing himself, and he will be at the disposal of the Governor!" Fan Chou spoke.

"Okay, Brother Fan, I will besiege this mountain with 10,000 infantry troops and 3,000 iron horsemen, cut off its water source, if he goes down the mountain to break through the siege, he will rush to it with iron horses, and he will be able to win!" I will lead the rest of the iron cavalry to leave tonight, take the path to meet the Yuan Shao brigade, and take the opportunity to raid to frustrate the enemy! Hua Xiong had a plan in his heart at this time, so he instructed Guo Yan.

"The governor will not only skip people, but his courage is unparalleled, and he can't please Yuan Shao if he wants to come! The governor can rest assured that he will go to the end of the day, and he will definitely annihilate this Sun Jian! "What Fan Chou said is not flattery, with more than 10,000 iron horsemen, he dared to raid Yuan Shao and hundreds of thousands of horses, Huaxiong is indeed amazingly bold! However, we have to admit that this plan can have its unexpected effect.

Sun Jian saw the enemy army on the hill at this time and did not attack, but only besieged it to know its strategy, now he has no other good strategy, only to hope that Sun Ce, who was rushed out by Pegasus just now, can invite reinforcements in time, otherwise this hill may become the burial place of his sons!
