Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heroes Gather in the Tiger Prison Pass (Part II)
June 7 of the first year of Chuping was definitely not a good day for the coalition forces.
Yuan Shao had already set up the carriage and horses outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and was about to storm the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo suddenly sacrificed the butcher's knife in Luoyang, Huaxiong was captured, and the heroes gathered outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Yique and Xuanyuan Erguan were also forced by the coalition army with heavy troops, so that Luoyang's Xiliang Army was a little stretched down all of a sudden, and the source of troops was enough, the problem was that Dong Zhuo's subordinates could not take too many generals who could give enough trust and could take charge of themselves, and what was even worse was that the scholars in Luoyang City suddenly became restless, so that Dong Zhuo had to start in advance, overnight, Dozens of families were tragically wiped out, and the most shocking of them is probably that Yuan Kui, who was imprisoned half a month ago, was beheaded by Dong Zhuo on charges of fornicating with thieves and plotting rebellion.
On June 7, when LΓΌ Bu personally brought Yuan Kui's head to the Tiger Pass, Yuan Shao had already gathered troops and horses to persuade Gongsun Zan to serve as the vanguard again, and Yuan Shao personally commanded an army of 30,000 to attack the Tiger Pass.
"Wen Hou, the thief is huge, and he can't be defeated!" Niu Fu was transferred to Xuanyuan Pass by Dong Zhuo, and as soon as the people and horses who crossed the border with Ye Zhao left one after another, at this moment he no longer had the cards in his hand to be able to hold Ye Zhao, and Dong Zhuo was still a little stunned about Ye Zhao's ability to use soldiers, and it was not appropriate to send anyone, and finally chose the cautious Niu Fu to go to Xuanyuan Pass as a turtle; Second, it also has the intention of avoiding Niu Fu from fighting with the coalition forces, after all, he is his own son-in-law, and Li Ru speculates that Ye Zhao will not do his best even if he is not restrained in this battle.
Although he is not completely sure, compared to the princes with different intentions, Ye Zhao is an object that can be co-opted, so Dong Zhuo put Niu Fu here, which also means to keep in touch with Ye Zhao.
And Lu Bu, who was the most aggressive, was transferred to the Tiger Prison Pass, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to retreat, he had to make the coalition forces dare not look west, so that after Dong Zhuo retreated to Luoyang, he could have a stable external environment.
Listening to the noise of the generals next to him, Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, looked down at the coalition army formation, and sneered: "Powerful? But the rabble, see how I break him; Someone, hang the head of Yuan Kui on the city wall for me, and let these people see the consequences of the rebellion several times! β
"Whoa!" The soldiers brought by Lu Bu used bamboo poles to pick up Yuan Kui's head, but the coalition forces couldn't see it clearly, and specially prepared a piece of white cloth to hang under the head, and wrote: Those who follow thieves are like Yuan Kui!
Yuan Shaozheng led the army to arrange troops over there, and suddenly heard the news of his uncle's death, and hurriedly came to the front of the battle with his personal guards. I'm at odds with you! β
Thinking of Yuan Kui's kindness to him all along, he can have today, thanks to Yuan Kui's support, and now seeing that Yuan Kui, who treats him like a parent, is not only killed, but also hung on the city wall, suffering from this humiliation, Yuan Shao scolded angrily, not only did not lose his anger, but was angry, his face turned white, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and fell from the horse.
Lu Bu originally just wanted to provoke the coalition army, after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, although his temper was not well controlled, but it was the easiest for him to make the enemy lose his mind and blindly rush to kill, but in any case, he didn't expect that a Yuan Kui's head would make Yuan Shao faint.
Don't look at Lu Bu being thundered by Ye Zhao's anger several times, and being teased by Ye Zhao, but this does not mean that he is stupid, it can only be said that he has no talent in this kind of political struggle.
God is fair, when he takes away one thing from you, he will also give you one thing, Lu Bu is a novice in politics, but in terms of fighting and battle formations, he has amazing talent and wolf-like war wisdom.
The wolf's best thing is to capture the enemy's weakness, and will launch a fatal blow at the moment when the enemy is weakest, and with Yuan Shao's coma, the coalition army suddenly fell into a panic, and at this moment, it is the weakest time for the coalition army.
The drawbridge slowly fell, the closed city gate also burst open, Lu Bu at the moment Yuan Shao fell to the ground, he began to run down the city, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian and others have gathered three thousand iron horses, this is the Bingzhou iron cavalry that has been following Lu Bu, and it is also the most convenient force used by Lu Bu.
A blood-colored banner was lit up from the hole in the city gate, and there was no text on the bleak flag, just a lone wolf embroidered with black silk thread with teeth and claws, lifelike lone wolf, and then a piece of cavalry pressed by black, on the wilderness before the Xiongguan, there was only the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, and the hideous killing machine filled the heavens and the earth, and the armor of the forest and the low spear pressed by the forest, flashing with a cold cold.
The soldiers of the coalition army panicked, these soldiers came from different princes, and there was naturally no chaos under the command of Yuan Shao before, but at this moment, Yuan Shao was in a coma, and there was naturally a problem with the subordinates, especially Yuan Shao's personal soldiers had already set up Yuan Shao and retreated to the rear, which made the soldiers of the coalition army fall into a panic.
"Don't panic, set up a formation!" Gongsun Zhan sat on the horseback, feeling the murderous opportunity that came to his face, and his heart sank slightly, this is definitely an elite army, no less than the white horse righteous army, although the number of coalition troops is large, but at the moment they are not under each other's control, let him shout on horseback, and no one listens to him.
Scattered clusters of arrows shot out of the coalition camp and landed in the rushing cavalry formation, some people unfortunately fell off their horses, but the surrounding companions were as if they had not seen it, and did not need any words, after crossing the suspension bridge, they slowly spread out behind Lu Bu, forming an irregular fan.
In the mud trough splashing, three thousand iron hooves slammed into the ground, using Lu Bu as a sword, and slammed headlong into the coalition army's military formation.
Lu Bu suddenly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the red rabbit horse let out a long neigh, and rose into the air, which was more than one person high, and fell down after a distance of nearly twenty steps, and the two bowl-sized iron hooves fell directly on the heads of the two soldiers, and the helmet on the top of the head quickly sunken down, and the head protected by the helmet shattered like a watermelon.
Fang Tian's painting halberd lit up with a dazzling cold light that confused the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, and the next moment, the cold Fang Tian's painting halberd had already swung down with a strong inertia, splitting a halberd of a coalition army into two, Lu Bu twisted his waist on horseback, dragged the halberd rod, Fang Tian's painting halberd drew a semicircle in the crowd with a blood-colored arc of light, and Lu Bu's side was nearly two zhang away, and it was instantly emptied.
Behind Lu Bu, three thousand iron horsemen rushed in like a tide, and one by one the cold spears pierced into the bodies of the coalition soldiers by inertia, like a monstrous wave, the formation of the coalition army was fiercely compressed into a space of nearly ten zhang.
Blood, stumps, broken arms, and splatters of minced flesh, the originally neat battlefield was reduced to the Shura region at the moment when Lu Bu led his army in.
The already panicked coalition forces were rushed by Lu Bu like this, and the only remaining formation disappeared, and the terrifying power made all those who saw this scene turn around and flee backwards frantically, but the coalition forces in the rear have not yet figured out what is happening in front, some people run back with the current, and some people stay in place at a loss.
Chaos is hard to stop, but not everyone, it's in chaos.
But seeing that among the coalition forces, a cavalry quickly broke away from the chaotic army, went around in a circle, and covered the rear of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu heard the screams from behind, and when he turned around, he saw the white horse general Gongsun Zan leading his army from behind, killing his own soldiers frantically.
"Hmph~"
Lu Bu snorted, didn't look back, and couldn't turn back at this time, he continued to rush forward with his men and horses, killing until the depths of the coalition army, Gongsun Zan still wanted to chase and kill, but was blocked by the chaotic coalition army and couldn't bite Lu Bu.
"Get out of here!" Seeing that he was almost able to hit Lu Bu hard, but was stopped by his own family, the angry Gongsun Chan roared angrily on the horse's back, and the horse lance weighing sixty catties in his hand smashed with thorns, wanting to kill a bloody way to continue the pursuit.
It's just that the chaotic coalition forces at this moment have already been frightened by Lu Bu, where are they willing to listen to him, and even many people saw their companions being killed, and picked up weapons to deal with Gongsun Zhan, making it difficult for Gongsun Zhan to pursue Lu Bu.
Lu Bu got out of the trap and led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to kill a circle in the coalition formation, where he passed, the coalition troops retreated one after another, trampling on each other countless times, making Lu Bu like entering a no-man's land, but in a quarter of an hour, he killed out of the coalition army formation, regrouped the soldiers and horses, wolf-like eyes, but this time it fell on Gongsun Zhan's body.
"Kill~" spit out a low character in his throat, Lu Bu did not bypass the chaotic coalition army, and directly rushed towards Gongsun Zhan with his men and horses, and the coalition forces pushed back frantically along the way, and those who didn't have time to retreat were directly trampled into meat paste by the galloping iron horsemen.
Gongsun Zhan's eyebrows ached, the cold killing machine made him feel as if he was suddenly in a cold winter, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Bu brandishing Fang Tian's halberd rushing over, and he actually took Gongsun Zhan directly.
Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth, but he didn't dodge, and roared angrily: "Lu thief is crazy, Gongsun Chan is here!" Wielding his horse lance, he went straight to Lu Bu.
Gongsun Chan? General White Horse?
Lu Bu originally thought that he was just a powerful general, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Gongsun Zhan!
Just as Gongsun Chan had heard of Lu Bu's name, as a general who had made a name for himself among the Hu people, Lu Bu had also been famous for Gongsun Chan for a long time, and he knew that this Gongsun Chan was a prince all the way, and he did not hesitate at the moment, and killed a general who rushed in front of him like a headless fly with a halberd, and killed Gongsun Chan with a halberd.
"Bell~"
The two horses were staggered, Fang Tian's halberd and the horse lance collided together, making a loud noise, and Gongsun Zhan on horseback shook his body, and was almost knocked off the horse by Lu Bu's halberd.
Lu Bu slowly turned his horse's head and looked at Gongsun Zan with a little mockery: "The famous White Horse General, but that's it!" β
