Chapter 255: Danger

Sure enough, after Chenggao's revolving gate pass was broken, the 100,000 main forces of the Kwantung princes rushed straight to the palace, but they were blocked by Duan Xuan on the front line of the Yangqu more than ten miles east of the imperial city with the help of the terrain and started a big battle!

At the same time, the Kwantung princes divided 80,000 troops to the south and crossed Luoshui, intending to attack the Dong Zhuo defenders of Xuanyuan Pass, Taigu Pass, Guangcheng Pass, and Yique Pass in the southeast from behind, and to meet the Kwantung soldiers and horses of Yingchuan and Luyang.

However, they encountered the Flying Bear Army of Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji halfway through, and they were in a group.

However, the generals who led the troops south seemed to be quite good at battle in formation, although they were killed and injured by a wave of cavalry, but they actually resisted the attack of the Flying Bear Army with a formation, slowing down their speed, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

The Luoyang Basin is too wide, and a radius of 200 miles is burned as a smooth road, which can be rampant at will, and the Kwantung princes have the advantage in their forces, and they divide several troops and horses to bypass the battlefield and advance to the south and west.

As a result, Zhang Liao's retreat path was not so safe, and he could face an attack from the north at any time, so Zhang Liao could only order his soldiers to speed up the march again.

In today's situation, he is invincible, Dian Wei and Gao Shun, who are the most aggressive under him, are not there, and most of the Xiao cavalry battalion has been transferred, and it is really difficult for him and Zhang He to bring a group of recruits.

What's even more troublesome is that Han Fu's soldiers and horses are also here, if Zhang He meets the old master or Jizhou's old friend, I am afraid it will be embarrassing.

And not only Zhang He, but also among the 10,000 soldiers who are retreating now, nearly 6,000 are Bao Xin's old troops, if they encounter Bao Xin, it will be even more fatal trouble, and it is difficult for Zhang Liao to judge what will happen.

Therefore, Zhang Liao had only one thought in his mind at this time, run! Run! Run!

Traveling all the way, by noon, there were still five or six miles away from Yishui, but the news of the scouts was passed more and more frequently, and a number of enemy troops had appeared in the north, compressing the scope of the scouts' exploration, and the battle situation on Li Dao and Guo Yan's side was already difficult to investigate.

And at this moment, the scouts from the south who inquired about the military situation came back with a message that the Yique Pass had been broken!

Sun Jian, the assassin of Yuzhou who threatened Guangcheng Pass in Liangxian County, suddenly appeared in Yique nearly 100 miles away, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Yique Pass was broken in less than half a day, and Yang Ding's soldiers and horses stationed in this pass suffered heavy losses, and were bitten and killed by the enemy, and they were retreating to the north!

Zhang Liao's heart sank, the situation really developed in the worst direction, Yique Pass was closer to their position at this time, but it was only more than thirty or forty miles away!

And it is conceivable that after Sun Jian enters Luoyang, Guangcheng and Taigu Erguan, which are close to Yique Pass, will inevitably be lost, so that Yuan Shu's 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Luyang will also attack in!

The situation changed too quickly, the north and south lines were broken, more than 250,000 soldiers and horses poured into Luoyang, in the blink of an eye, Luoyang has become a pot of boiling porridge, all kinds of soldiers and horses crisscross it, and there is no safe place again!

The Kwantung princes reversed their hesitant style last time, everything was sudden, and Zhang Liao was really caught off guard!

And he happened to be sandwiched between the north and south lines at this time, which was extremely dangerous. Especially when he pulled hatred and pulled it ruthlessly last time, if the Kwantung princes learned that he was here, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

However, the more dangerous it is, the calmer Zhang Liao becomes, because he understands that anxiety and panic cannot solve the problem!

He groaned, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were marching in a hurry to slow down, otherwise the soldiers would be tired from running around, and once the battle was engaged, the situation would be even more dangerous.

Zhang Liao first gathered the soldiers and gave an order, many of his recruits were from Taishan County and Yingchuan County, and they all had a set of clothes and armor of the Kwantung princes, Zhang Liao did not let them lose it, and ordered them all to change at this time, so that at a critical time, they could pretend to be the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes and fish in troubled waters.

In today's situation, if you can not fight, you will not fight, and you will not fight, Zhang Liao does not want to stab the hornet's nest needlessly.

After settling everything, the soldiers hurriedly used dry food, replenished water, and continued on their journey.

The cavalry still stretched out in front of them, responding from a distance, the infantry slowed down, regained their strength, and maintained their formation, with the tigers and halberds outside, and the archers in the middle, ready to carry out long-range strikes with the help of vehicle cover.

Although Zhang Liao did not want to fight, he must be ready to fight at any time.

After walking for four or five miles, he could already see Yishui, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be slightly happy in his heart, as long as he crossed Yishui, there would be a barrier and he could retreat calmly.

But at that moment they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when they turned their heads, they saw a cavalry rushing about four or five miles to the south.

From a distance, the scale is not large, about three or four hundred horses.

Zhang Liao estimated that it was likely to be Yique's Yang Ding's rout, but he was not careless, and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is on alert!" ā€

As soon as he finished the order, his face sank, and he saw a horse rushing forward, it was the scout sent by the army to inquire about the news, but the scout was carrying feathered arrows at this time, and as soon as the war horse arrived in front of him, the people rolled down.

Without waiting for orders, several guards immediately met the scout and lifted the scout up, neither arrow was at the point, but the scout cried loudly: "Captain, brothers are so unjustly dead!" The Hu cavalry behind is a deserter from Yang Ding of Yique Pass, Yang Ding is also among them, I waited for five people from the Geng group to come forward to contact them, wanting to ask them about the battle, but they were attacked indiscriminately, except for the villain, the other four were all killed......"

Zhang Liao clenched his fists when he heard this, and his face turned pale: "Xu Yang, have you reported your identity?" ā€

The scout Xu Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I waited until I first reported my identity before I went up." ā€

Zhang Liao's face calmed down, and he instructed the guards: "Take Xu Yang down to heal and rest." ā€

He looked up at the rushing cavalry, a cold light in his eyes.

The generals looked at those cavalry, their eyes all showed anger, the scout battalion is the elite of the army, and it is also the place they yearn for, their battalions have selected the elite to enter it, if they die on the battlefield in a dignified manner, but now they are killed by their own people under Dong Zhuo, how can they not hate!

Zhang He and other generals looked at Zhang Liao and waited for him to make a decision.

Yang Ding's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and it had reached a distance of two miles, when suddenly another cavalry scout from the north came to report: "A group of men and horses appeared five miles away in the northeast direction, about a thousand people, half of each horseman, and the banners were Liu, Guan, and Zhang. ā€

Liu Guanzhang? Zhang Liao's body was shocked, and three people instantly appeared in his mind, could it be them? How can it be?

He turned his head to look, and he could see a group of men and horses rushing in the distance, but he couldn't see the banner clearly, let alone the appearance of the people.

It's just that Liu Guanzhang should be far away in Qingzhou, there are no princes in Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan is still in Youzhou.

But who else could it be? Could it be some kind of coincidence?

If it's really them, then it's dangerous, although Liu Guanzhang has few soldiers and horses, he can't stand the fierce!

Yang Ding's army in the south approached in an instant, and it was already hundreds of steps away.

Right now, there is Yang Ding in the south, although he is a friendly army, he kills his own scouts!

There is an enemy army in the north, and it is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is more likely that there will be a fierce general at the level of 10,000 enemies, and it is not one!

What to do? The situation didn't allow him to think much at all, Zhang Liao immediately cleaned up the doubts in his heart, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Yang Han, recall the scouts in the northeast, don't inquire about that army and horses again!" ā€

If it is really Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then the scouts will be dangerous. (To be continued.) )
