124 struck the west
Because Dong Zhuo sent troops with great fanfare this time, the news that Dong Zhuo wanted to attack Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang who were entrenched in Hanoi was rumored, and Sun Jian, who was stationed in Luyang County, Nanyang County, also knew the news.
After learning that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were fighting, Sun Jian thought that this was a godsend, and reported to Yuan Shu while sorting out his soldiers. At this time, Kong Ling was dead, Yuan Shu cousin Sun Jian for Yuzhou Assassin History, Sun Jian and Yuzhou engaged in Li Yan, Zhang An, Yingchuan County Taishou Li Min swore in Luyang City, counted Dong Zhuo's sins, claimed not to break the country, vowed not to return, Sun Jian left a group of men and horses to defend the city, with 30,000 horses and horses.
Sun Jian thought that Dong Zhuo's army was in Hanoi and wanted to hit Dong Zhuo by surprise, so he led the army to move forward quickly.
When he reached the east of Liang County, he suddenly heard a trumpet, and then the earth shook, and the smoke and dust rose in the distance, and Sun Jian was taken aback.
Before leaving, Sun Jian's troops were told that Dong Zhuo was going to Hanoi, and Luoyang was empty, so everyone hurriedly marched into the army. How do you know that when you suddenly encounter Dong Zhuo's people, there was chaos all of a sudden, and the sound of drums and trumpets became chaotic.
It turned out that Xu Rong was ambushed on the side of the road in advance, and when Sun Jian's men and horses passed, he suddenly killed at the same time, and at the same time ordered people to create smoke and dust on both sides, so that Sun Jian didn't know how many people came.
The so-called ambush is not like in film and television dramas, in a valley, ambushing soldiers, and then shooting the enemy into a hedgehog with random arrows. Such an ambush cannot be said to be absent, but the probability is very small. As long as it is a general with a normal brain, he will be careful to probe in this kind of terrain and send scouts, and it is impossible to easily fall into death.
The real ambush, just this Sun Jian is now encountering this situation, he is marching in a marching state, naturally he will not put on his helmet and armor, and the formation will not be strict. And the opponent used a tight formation and a stubborn attack, and the whole army immediately became chaotic.
Sun Jian is also a battle-hardened figure, just looking at this momentum, you know that although there are many enemies attacking, at least there are thousands of cavalry, but there are not too many.
The problem is that Sun Jian can't let his subordinates know this, Sun Jian's subordinates, most of them are new soldiers, and when they saw tens of thousands of cavalry charging together, the momentum was violent, and even the ground shook, and it was impossible to tell how many enemies there were.
If the infantry formed a formation to confront the cavalry, they were not afraid of cavalry, but at this moment, the infantry under Sun Jian had neither armor nor array, and most of them were recruits, and they were rushed by the Liangzhou cavalry led by Xu Rong and Li Meng, and they could not resist at all, so they had to flee in all directions.
Xu Rong led the army to break through Sun Jian's front, suppressed Sun Jian's army and rolled backwards, and Xu Rong led his troops to pursue.
Sun Jian still had to reluctantly engage in the battle, personally with five hundred personal soldiers, also cavalry, launched several counterattacks on the Liangzhou army, with Sun Jian's bravery, several counter-charges, driven by Sun Jian, but also killed several low-level generals such as the commander of the Xiliang Army, the military marquis, etc., which caused some confusion and suppression to the Xiliang Army.
However, the Xiliang army was extremely fierce, attacking frantically in waves, fighting to the death. There are few horses in the south, so most of Sun Jian's men are foot soldiers, and there are few cavalry. Dong Zhuojun is mostly a person from the Liangbian land, and there are a lot of cavalry. Several counterattacks were defeated, and the cavalry under Sun Jian's command was killed and wounded.
"Good Xu Rong, my Sun Jian remembers you."
With a miserable laugh, Sun Jian turned his horse and fled, with only dozens of cavalry around him.
Sun Jian is by no means a timid person, but his courage is extremely majestic.
At the beginning, Sun Jian wanted to march into the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Before leaving, he sent Changshi Gongqiu to lead the troops to urge the military rations, for this reason, he gathered the officials and subordinates outside the east gate of Luyang City, set up a tent to drink, and sent the public enemy off. Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian was going to raise troops, so he sent Hu Zhen, the Taishou of Dongjun, to lead troops to Luyang to meet the battle. Sun Jian was drinking and laughing with his subordinates, when Hu Zhen's advance cavalry suddenly attacked.
Sun Jian ordered the troops to reorganize the lineup and not to act rashly, while he drank and laughed freely. The enemy's cavalry increased more and more, so Sun Jian slowly got up and left his seat and guided the soldiers into the city in an orderly manner. Sun Jian said to his generals: "If Xiang Jian does not rise immediately, he is afraid that the soldiers will take advantage of each other, and the kings will not be able to hear it." ”
Hu Zhen saw that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were neat, disciplined, and his fighting spirit was strong, and most of his men were cavalry, so he did not dare to attack the city, so he withdrew his troops and left.
Sun Jian fled, and Xu Rong sent people to chase after him, while continuing to pursue his men. Sun Jian's soldiers and horses were originally going to attack Dong Zhuo in a sneak attack, and they came with a rapid march all the way, so the formation was scattered and the people were sleepy and lacking. Xu Rong saw that the opponent was tired and was scattered by the deserters, so he beat the drum to attack and defeated them together.
Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, advancing in a marching formation, were attacked by Xu Rong with cavalry in an attack formation, and then rushed to rout, and rolled back one by one, with no chance to unfold at all. In the chaos, I don't know how many enemies there are in front of me.
At the same time, Xu Rong ordered people to tie branches to the horse's tail, creating smoke and dust on both sides, and making a big noise, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses only thought that Xu Rong's cavalry was endless, so they were defeated all the way down.
Sun Jianping wears a red kitchen hat every day, and every time he takes the lead, he charges into battle, which is extremely conspicuous, and when the soldiers see it, they know that Sun Jian kills the enemy with them, and his morale doubles.
However, when he broke through, Dai Chi Kitchen was so conspicuous that he was looking for death. Dong Zhuojun's cavalry pursued Sun Jian closely, Sun Jian took off the red kitchen curtain, and ordered the cronies around him to replace Zu Mao with his own red silk to attract the enemy. In this way, Dong Zhuojun's cavalry thought that it was Sun Jian who wore the red hand, so they went to chase Zu Mao, and Sun Jian had the opportunity to escape from the encirclement from the trail, and only then did he escape.
From this incident, it can be seen that Sun Jian is much smarter than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao didn't know how to put on the red robe for his subordinates, and as a result, Ma Chao achieved the prestige of "cutting his beard and abandoning the robe".
Sun Jian was clever and Zu Mao was also clever, he ran to the grave in the middle of nowhere, and with a plan, he jumped off his horse and covered the red silk on a burning pillar in front of the grave, while he lay down in the grass and did not move. Dong Zhuo's cavalry saw Chi Xuanwei from a distance, thinking that Sun Jian was here, so they surrounded this place layer by layer, and walked to him, and Dong Zhuojun's cavalry found out that they were fooled before withdrawing.
Dong Zhuojun killed Li Yan, captured Li Min and Zhang An, and cooked the two alive with Dading in Bi Guiyuan. ”
In Hanoi County, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang did not know that Sun Jian was defeated by Xu Rong.
Han Hao led the troops in Mengjin, Wang Kuang soldiers in Han Hao, and Yuan Shao sat in Zhihuai County, Hanoi County, as the queen of the two palaces.
Dong Zhuo threatened Han Hao if he couldn't, so he personally went out to command. Dong Zhuo then used the strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west" to send a part of the suspicious soldiers to Pingyin County with great fanfare, falsely claiming that he would cross the river to attack. After Wang Kuang got the news, he mobilized troops and horses to the west for reinforcements.
After Wang Kuang's army was dispersed, Dong Zhuo led the main force to cross the river directly from Xiaopingjin, with Lu Bu as the vanguard, and raided Wang Kuang's army from the rear. Wang Kuangjun was suddenly caught off guard and was defeated.
Although Sun Jian suffered defeat, after returning to Luyang County, he continued to collect the remnants of the army, reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare for another battle.
If you want to succeed, you must have this indomitable will.
Liu Bei is like this, Cao Cao is like this, and Sun Jian is also like that.
