Chapter 230: Dong Zhuo's plan
"Wen Hou, if it weren't for each of his masters, the three of us should be drunk!" Before leaving, Huo Yu spoke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I believe there will be a day!" After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned over and got on his horse.
"Wen Hou, Dong Zhuo is not a good master, be careful!" Just as Lu Bu was about to leave, Huo Yu spoke again.
Hearing this, Lu Bu paused, looked back at Huo Yu and did not speak, and then rode back.
"Senior brother, is this a conspiracy?" Zhao Yun asked with a smile.
"Sort of! To be able to fight with Lu Bu is not in vain! In today's battle, the three of us will be famous all over the world! Let's go back! As soon as the words fell, the two turned over and returned on their horses.
A vicious battle ended peacefully, and as for what the three of them talked about, Huo Yu didn't say much. After returning to the army, Huo Yu closed the door to the guests, on the grounds that he was too seriously injured and needed to recuperate.
After Lu Bu returned to Bishui Pass, he was scolded by Dong Zhuo, and finally he was relieved when Li Ru persuaded him.
"Wen Wei, what did Lu Bu say to Huo Yu'er on the battle array, have you ever inquired?" Dong Zhuo saw this matter in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, because Lu Bu's killing of Ding Yuan made him always feel uneasy.
"Father-in-law, after Lu Bu returned, he used the excuse that he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and closed his door to thank the guests, and no one was seen!" Li Ru said helplessly, now Dong Zhuo is always suspicious all day long, if Lu Bu is forced to be in a hurry, he is not allowed to do anything.
"Humph! The Xiliang Army is not only Lu Bu, but Guo Yan is ordered to go out of the pass tomorrow to call for war! Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and ordered in displeasure.
The next day, before Guo Yan led 80,000 Xiliang cavalry to fight, a scout came to report that Huo Yu, the general of Zhengbei and the Taishou of Liaodong, was seriously injured and had led his troops back to Liaodong. Dong Zhuo, who got the news, was surprised and delighted, but Li Ru was the only one frowning.
"Scheme?" Li Ru had countless question marks in his heart, but judging from the information sent back by the scouts later, the Liaodong Army was really withdrawn, so that the morale of the entire coalition army was low, and the battle exemption card was hung high.
"Guo Yan, you can lead 80,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to level the camp of the Kwantung princes!" Dong Zhuo is not a person who can endure his temperament, so he opened his mouth and ordered.
When Guo Yan led 80,000 Xiliang cavalry out of the pass to call for battle, Yuan Shao also led his troops to meet the enemy for the first time. The soldiers and horses of both sides set up in front of the coalition camp, and due to the lack of cavalry of the coalition army, they put up a defensive formation. However, the Xiliang army did not make a move for a long time, because Guo Yan felt a trace of uneasiness.
On the coalition side, the infantry side giant shield soldiers are followed by spears and halberders, sword and shield men are interspersed with the cover of the loser, and finally the archers, and the whole large array looks like a turtle.
"Report! General, there is no cavalry of the Liaodong Army around the battlefield!" After receiving the scout's report again, Guo Yan finally gave the order to attack.
After that, the Western Liang cavalry began to charge towards the large array of the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes. The rain of arrows on both sides suddenly blocked most of the sky, and the screams filled the real battlefield.
As the Xiliang soldiers rushed to the death in waves, the left flank of the coalition phalanx was finally broken open. A large number of Xiliang cavalry poured in like a flood, and in the array, although Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian commanded the troops and horses to try to keep the left flank intact, but the gap between the combat power of the two sides was too large, except for the Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou, the soldiers and horses of the other two had begun to disperse.
"Report! The left flank of the alliance leader has been breached!" An urgent report from a scout interrupted Yuan Shao's thoughts.
"What?" Yuan Shao was shocked. Before Yuan Shao could further order the general, another bloody scout appeared in front of Yuan Shao's eyes.
"Report! The right flank of the alliance leader has been breached! ”
"Alas!" In the face of such a situation, Yuan Shao was also helpless to the extreme, and then issued an order for the whole army to withdraw to the battalion.
As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was the first to run, and the rest of the people naturally did the same. In an instant, the entire coalition army collapsed, and everyone ran towards the camp like crazy.
Dong Zhuo, who was closed by the water, laughed when he saw this scene, and kept praising Guo Yan in his mouth. The coalition army of the Kwantung princes was so unbeatable, if he led all the Xiliang cavalry to launch a general attack, he would definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo no longer hesitated to order Li Ru to lead 5,000 Xiliang soldiers and the Bingzhou army to hold the Tiger Pass, and he personally proposed the remaining 65,000 Xiliang soldiers to join the battle.
With the addition of Dong Zhuo and the new army, the morale of the entire Xiliang army rose to the extreme, and they followed the alliance of princes all the way to chase and kill. Yuan Shao, who originally planned to rely on the camp to defend it, completely collapsed, and his rout broke up the formation of the camp gate defense, and the Xiliang soldiers then entered.
In the chaotic battle, Yuan Shao's handsome banner began to retreat, and the allied soldiers fled while throwing away all the blades, armor, and money they carried. In short, how easy it is, everything is to run fast, and if you run slowly, there will only be one end.
Fortunately, during the escape, Yuan Shao's Shuai Qi was still there, so that most of the defeated soldiers retreated in the direction of Shuai Qi. When the battle came to this point, the old problem of the Xiliang soldiers was committed, because there was an unwritten military rule in the Xiliang army, and all the spoils of war that they plundered were expensive to themselves.
Seeing the complete defeat of the coalition forces, Dong Zhuo, who had been depressed for a few days, was in a good mood. If Li Ru was here, he would definitely persuade him to "chase after the poor", and it was a strange thing that Yuan Shao was still holding a handsome flag when he was fleeing.
Dong Zhuo, who was dazed, led the Xiliang army into a valley in one breath before losing Yuan Shao's trace.
On the top of the mountain, Huo Yu and Cao Cao stood side by side, in order to overcome the tiger prison, the two of them took great effort to fill the entire valley with fire-inducing things. And in order to be able to lure Dong Zhuo here, the bitter losses of the Kwantung princes are not small, but all this is nothing in the face of righteousness.
"Brother Mengde, let's do it! A Wang Zuozhicai, a ghost talent, this is enough for Dong Feifei to drink a pot! ”
"Hahaha, Dong Feifei? I'm speechless! ”
Just as the Xiliang army continued to enter the valley, suddenly a fire arrow flew down from the top of the mountain, and then a sound of boulders rolling down separated the Xiliang army. At this time in the valley, the fire arrow that had just landed instantly caused a fire.
"Hit the ground!" Dong Zhuo rode on the war horse, looked at the sea of fire in front of him and sighed.
"Hahaha! Dong Zhuo, old thief, see how you escape today! Shoot the arrows! Yuan Shao's laughter suddenly came, but what followed was a rain of arrows.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Guo Yan, whose face was blackened, stumbled to Dong Zhuo and cried: "Lord, the last general will ask for guilt!" ”
"Alas! Thou art not guilty! Now it's up to you to try to escape! Dong Zhuo, who had calmed down, said with a long sigh.
