Chapter 400: The Wind Rises

Stretching along the foothills, the moonlight sank, and among the dense woods there was a fire burning, like horses burning red coals, and a tall and mighty man resting here, a strange long weapon standing on the ground, and occasionally, the figure threw firewood into the fire, and the armor on his body made a slight grinding sound.

The fire shone on his face, and his eyes were slightly closed under the thick eyebrows of the inverted eight, and only sometimes he heard the sound of a certain animal in the forest walking past, and he would open his eyes, and his face suddenly became majestic, and he sat there, like a crouching beast, and the aura emitted was so fierce that the wandering beast sensed the danger and did not dare to approach again.

The sound of rustling is far away.

Lu Bu threw away a branch, looked at his hands, and then closed his eyes, the firelight fluttering through his eyelids, as if he could see blood flowing in the slender veins.

Then burn...... Howling shouts on the battlefield...... Countless figures wielded weapons to kill each other...... The drums of war resounded across the battlefield...... After five years, the picture of the golden iron horse once again came into mind.

Nguyen Pass...... Gao Shun ......

The early morning birds were chirping on the branches, the sky was slightly bright, Lu Bu took a deep breath, stood up from the extinguished fire, his armor let out an excited whisper, stepped out, stretched out his hand and pulled out Fang Tian's halberd from the ground, dragged the scarlet cloak, and turned over on the horse.

Walking out of the woods, the vision unfolded outside the mountain, a man and a horse stood on the rocks, looking into the distance, the Jizhou wilderness that already belonged, the golden sky light pierced the clouds and sprinkled down, Lu Bu glanced at it, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, "...... I am back. ”

The eastern sky glows with gold.

Northeast of Wuruan Pass, near Zhuo County, which is more than 120 miles away.

Between the vast land, this small corner, the early morning fighting broke out on the road along the way, more than 20,000 Xiliang troops out of the pass and Zhang He's 20,000 Jizhou soldiers to start a frontal conflict, the Xiliang army that attacked at night suddenly opened the battle on the field, the two sides in the camp, the field of a face, the whole dawn of the morning suddenly like boiling water, hysterical shouts burst the night sky.

In terms of the strength and combat effectiveness of the two groups of armies, the overall quality of this Xiliang army is stronger than the Jizhou soldiers and horses who have not experienced too many wars, and the moment of contact at the beginning of the first year, the morale and killing intent of the soldiers and horses under Xu Rong's command were directly raised to the extreme, and the entangled fight was transformed into crushing, and when Zhang He reacted, more than 20,000 Xiliang troops had broken through the position where the camp was stationed, and faintly pointed behind the team that had been pulled out to Youzhou.

The sun rises above the clouds and shines through the mountains, and the birds fly across the sky.

Below, the banner hunt meanders.

Xu Rong, who was stationed on the slope of the horse hill, looked at the team under his command and passed from his sight, a figure rode nearby, he turned his head to look at the other party, and continued to check the surrounding terrain and the army that had walked the road.

"At this time, Zhang He should still be reorganizing the army, and it will be a few days later if he wants to catch up, but I can see that he deliberately did not chase that night, I am afraid that the strategists around Yuan Shao have seen our details, although the Jizhou soldiers are not very good at fighting at the moment, but they really have to be led by fierce generals and ambushed in front, so they have to be on guard in advance."

After breaking through Zhang He's first department, it is not difficult to see some clues with Xu Rong's experience in using soldiers, but when he thinks of his task, he can't help but have a headache. The person who rode over was Gao Shun, and he urged the horse to stop side by side with the other party, frowning: "Since you know it's a trap, why do you want to rush in?" According to the Wuruan Pass, when the time is right, go directly south to attack Yecheng, seven or eight hundred miles, it should not be difficult for you. ”

Since Dong Zhuo's beginning, the Xiliang Army has given people a feeling of bravery, and there is a steady general like Xu Rong in the army, if the troops do not move, it will be a huge pressure on Yuan Shao who wants to go to Youzhou.

Next to him, Xu Rong shook his head on horseback, "Yuan Shao is not a fool, Liaodong is what he wants to take, and the center of gravity has always been over there, we are just a stumbling block, we have already tripped once, we will not be tripped again, he turned around at this time and went to Youzhou It should actually be a strategy from the strategists around him to force us out of the customs." ”

"Is that still out?"

After Gao Shun finished speaking in surprise, Xu Rong laughed, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the undulating mountains in the distance.

"If you don't come out, you can't do it. You are a pure general, you don't have to think about it so much, I am the commander of the first army, naturally I must consider everything, our 20,000 troops, it is not impossible to really eat Zhang He's department, but the lord asked me to wait and hold Yuan Shao, so I can't delay this matter, but it's a pity that now...... The strategists around Yuan Shao may have seen it...... Even if there was a trap ahead, Xu had to pass. ”

Gao Shun turned his head to look at him, "Don't think about the lives of the soldiers under your command?" ”

"My Xiliang army is an army, and it is right to carry out the lord's orders, if you are afraid to watch Yuan Shao leave for Youzhou and destroy the battle situation in Liaodong, it will be my Xu Rong's dereliction of duty, and it will also be the mistake of the entire army!"

Xu Rong made eye contact with him, and his voice sounded in the wind: "When a soldier dies in battle, it is his duty!" ”

After saying this, he drove the horse's head and left here, and then recruited the generals in the army to assign tasks, even if he sensed the trap that might be laid in front of him, Xu Rong, who had always been calm, had to get into it, and on the afternoon of May 18, out of the mountains, and not long after camping down against the mountains, an army in front had quickly turned and crushed over, and outside the fluttering Yuanzi banner, there was also a banner with the word 'Wen' written on the side hunting and hunting.

There were also different banners in the south and north, and each army of about 10,000 people stretched out a two-mile formation, and only stopped when it was seven miles away from the Xiliang army, and then quickly set up a formation.

Heralds ran back and forth in three armies.

Yuan Shao rode a war horse and took Xu You and Guo Tu out of the range of Shuai Qi, and as far as the eye could see, on the barren field, the black-armored Xiliang army that was surrounded walked out of the barracks in rows and columns, making a defensive posture.

"Xu Rong is very strange, it seems that he has already noticed that it is a trap, and he dares to come over, this person is calm and calm on weekdays, but now he is afraid that I will destroy the battlefield in Liaodong, and he is anxious." Yuan Shao urged the horse to move around for a moment, smiled and raised his whip and pointed ahead and said, turned his head to look at the two strategists beside him, "You said that this battle destroyed this Xiliang army, and when you set foot in Liaodong, what kind of expression did Gongsun Zhi know?" ”

"It must be a big surprise......

A deep voice came, and a snowflake horse slowly stepped forward, on the horseback was a veteran about fifty years old, with white eyebrows, carrying a heavy spear, wearing two gears of lion head armor, and speaking with a look of non-anger and self-authority. Yuan Shao's attitude towards military generals has always been serious, and when he heard this person speak, he couldn't help but be a little polite: "Old General Han, how can you be in the mood to come over." ”

This old general, surnamed Han Mingrong, has the title of 'Hebei Gun King', it is rumored that his martial arts can be compared with the gun king Tong Yuan, Yuan Shao sat in Jizhou, repeatedly invited the other party, were refused, and finally because his personal disciple Han Qiong was seriously injured by Zhao Yun before going out of the mountain to assist, the real intention, he probably wanted revenge.

After Han Rong bowed his hand, he looked at the Xiliang army formation in front of him, stroked his white beard and smiled: "Gongsun Zhi's Zhao Yun hurt my beloved disciple, if there is a chance today, I will naturally kill one of his generals to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”

"Hahaha...... Wait for a while to break the formation, and watch the old general deter the enemy in a battle. ”

"Don't let the lord laugh!" Han Rong arched his hand heroically.

In the past, the Western Liang army used guerrillas and turtle passes to resist their attacks, but now this team is encircled on three sides, and they want to retreat into the mountains, and they will be crushed by the huge torrent.

In this battle, the morale of the Jizhou generals was boosted......

Soon, the sound of trumpets and war drums sounded under the sky.
