Seeing Yang Ding out of the gate to face the battle, the striker Huang Gai led thousands of elite soldiers to attack, Yang Ding saw it, was slightly taken aback, and secretly said to himself, come and react quickly.

It turned out that Huang Gai had already known that his foothold was not stable, and there was no camp to rely on, so it was the most dangerous time, so he was afraid that the defenders of Taigu Pass would take the lead and send troops to attack him, so he prepared a reserve in hand first.

Sun Jianjun and Dong Zhuo's army engaged in a battle with each other, the drums on the Taigu Pass were loud, and the drums in the Huanggai formation were also excited, and in the sound of war drums, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian's two troops advanced under the leadership of their respective generals and engaged in two battles.

The battle was fierce at the beginning, and although Huang Gai had few soldiers, he launched an attack first, personally leading a thousand men and horses, and fiercely attacked Dong Zhuo's formation.

Since Yang Ding dared to lead the troops to attack, he was naturally not incompetent, and he himself was also a talented general, Yang Ding was also a general who fought in Xiliang, although he encountered Huang Gai's onslaught as soon as he came up, but he was not chaotic at all, while restraining the men and horses of the headquarters, keeping the formation still, not panicking, on the one hand, hundreds of soldiers and horses were divided, attacking from the left flank, feintting to attack Huang Gai's right flank, and on the other side, five hundred elite soldiers were divided, attacking from the right flank and flanking Huang Gai's left flank.

On the battlefield a few miles away, the soldiers and soldiers of Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian had already begun to shout and fight together, and the two sides first disrupted each other's formations with bows and arrows, and then began to engage each other in close combat.

Huang Gai has few soldiers, Yang Ding has many soldiers, therefore, Yang Ding used this formation to meet the enemy head-on, feint to attack the right wing of the Huang Gai army, and attack the left wing of Huang Gai, which is a method of both positive and strange. Taking this formation as the positive, the left wing as a surprise, the left hand of the average person is not as flexible as the right hand, so the general attack on the opponent's formation, are launched from the left flank, if the left flank can break through the Huang Gai army, then the formation can be followed by the attack, crushing the enemy in front of you.

In the distance, Sun Jian, who was hiding in Huang Gai's army, saw it, nodded and said: "Huang Gongfu has met an opponent, and the thief general is also a person who knows the soldiers." ”

It turned out that in Sun Jian's view, the key to this victory and defeat lies in whether or not Taigu Pass can be broken, and whether Taigu Pass can be broken is to defeat Taigu Pass before Dong Zhuo reacts and sends reinforcements.

If Taigu Pass can't be knocked down in a short period of time, it is likely that Hu Zhen will see through Sun Jian's plan to attack the west. When the time comes, Hu Zhen will lead troops to support Taigu, so the battle will not be easy to fight.

If Dong Zhuo leads the army to reinforce Taigu Pass, when the time comes, the strength of the Dong army will increase greatly, and Sun Jian will not say that he will defeat Taigu Pass again, but he is afraid that he will be defeated by Dong Zhuo again, and then he is afraid that he will have to let someone else bring a red turban for Sun Jian.

Therefore, Sun Jian knew that he must not delay and needed to fight quickly, so he hid in the Huang Gai army and wanted to go out in person to defeat Taigu Pass.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the enemy and our armies fought to the death with each other. Huang Gai had few soldiers, and was attacked by Yang Ding on three sides, and immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Yang Ding, who was commanding in the back, saw it, smiled slightly, and said to the left and right: "Sun Wentai, such a big name, Jiangdong Tiger, it's just that." ”

It turned out that Yang Ding had successfully broken through Huang Gai's left flank at this time, and broke through the formation of 1,000 men and horses under Huang Gai, Yang Ding personally led more than 2,000 people in his own formation to attack, and Huang Gai's right flank was originally a feint to attack Dong Zhuo's army and horses, and he also took the opportunity to attack. Under the attack from three sides, Huang Gai couldn't resist it, and finally Huang Gai was quite able to support the army, although he was defeated, he was not chaotic. However, Huang Gai was defeated and retreated, step by step, and was about to retreat to the thousands of soldiers and horses who were originally preparing to build the camp, these thousands of soldiers and horses seemed to not expect Huang Gai to be defeated so quickly, so they hurriedly lined up in front of the camp.

Yang Ding was overjoyed when he saw it, as long as he defeated the forward soldiers and horses in front of him, the morale of the Taigu Pass defenders would be greatly shaken, and it would naturally not be difficult to hold on. So he said: "The vanguard of more than 1,000 people lost and retreated, and the thief army in front of the camp did not know how to avoid it. The formation is in chaos, and the thieves are defeated! ”

Sun Jian, who was in the distance, saw it and was also overjoyed: "I am also a thief, and I can expect a big victory today." ”

Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others called Dong Zhuo a thief, Dong Zhuo also called Sun Jian and others a thief, don't laugh at the eldest brother.

Yang Ding led the army forward, wanting to break through Huang Gai's main formation in one fell swoop, but saw that the thousands of men and horses quickly lined up into a formation, facing Huang Gai's defeated soldiers, standing firm. Yang Ding saw it and was shocked.

Sure enough, before Huang Gai's rout arrived at the formation, he did not panic, nor did he indiscriminately impact the formation, but when he was about to retreat to the main formation, he suddenly divided into two groups, ran left and right, ran from both sides of the formation, returned to the rear to line up, and under the leadership of Huang Gai, sorted out the soldiers and horses. Not only did it not impact Sun Jian's main formation, but it exposed Sun Jian's main formation to Yang Ding's face.

Yang Ding commanded the troops and horses in the rear, and after seeing the nearly 1,000 people under Huang Gai's command disperse, Sun Jian's formation was revealed, and he was suddenly a little caught off guard, and he also realized that he had fallen into the enemy's trick.

Sun Jian in the formation ordered loudly: "Put up a certain banner." ”

Seeing Sun Jian's banner erected high in the formation, Yang Ding already knew that he had fallen for Sun Jian's plan to lure the enemy. There was a retreat in his heart, but at this time, Yang Ding was only a hundred steps away from Sun Jian's formation, but it was too late to retreat. If Sun Jian's 4,000 men and horses are not defeated, then when they retreat, they will definitely be pursued by Sun Jian.

Thinking of this, Yang Ding gritted his teeth and shouted: "But there are only thousands of people and horses, even if there is an ambush, what can I do." Raccoon, you also dare to compete with my Xiliang boy, and you and I will break through this formation. ”

When Huang Gai sent out his troops, he led 5,000 soldiers, all of whom were the bravest and best at fighting in Sun Jian's army. At this moment, the 4,000 men and horses were all lined up. Sun Jian was wrapped in a red turban on his head, and when he saw Yang Ding rushing forward and making a fatal blow, he laughed and said: "Among the thieves, I plan also, all the kings and I will fight hard to defeat the thieves in front of you, break Taigu, enter Luoyang, capture Dong thieves, and Xinghan Chamber." ”

Sun Jian's 4,000 men lined up in formation, Sun Jian stood in the front, the flag waved, the war drums sounded, Sun Jian stood in the first row, personally led hundreds of warriors, everyone was wearing two armors, all armed with long knives, big axes personally stepped forward to meet the enemy.

After these hundreds of warriors, there were several rows of crossbowmen, facing Yang Ding and firing arrows. Arrows rained down, and many of the soldiers under Yang Ding's command avoided them and fell to the ground with arrows. Yang Ding faced the rain of arrows and personally led the team to charge, but after three rounds of arrow rain, the Dong soldiers who rushed in front had already killed in front of Sun Jian's warriors.

Sun Jian wore this red turban, as if it was a red flag, shouting loudly and fighting hard. Although the Xiliang soldiers are brave, the warriors under Sun Jian's command are also brave warriors, and Sun Jian personally led the team, but in a moment's effort, the corpses were killed all over the field.
