Chapter 207: Jiang Sheng Against Dong (2)
Jiang Sheng was shocked, he had secretly ordered Yu Ban and Zhang He to go out day and night, avoiding Dong Zhuo's ears and eyes, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Dong Zhuo, the matter had come to this point, it was useless to say more, so he hurriedly organized an emergency evacuation of the people in the house, because the guards at the city gate were all Dong Zhuo's people, and now it is impossible to escape with his female dependents.

Those big families who had already arrived to congratulate them said that they would try to escort Jiang Sheng's female dependents and civil officials out of the city.
Jiang Sheng sent people dressed in civilian clothes to rush out of the city to inform Zhao Yun to pull out the camp to respond, and let the female dependents go out of the city separately.
Tong Lin and Zhang Wanrong didn't have time to change their clothes, so they wrapped a plain cloth robe outside their bodies and went out of the city in the form of a big family trip. Other families escorted Liu Qian, Tang Ji, Zhang Wanying, Tian Feng, Xu You, and other civilian officials out of the city.
Due to the urgency of the situation, the guards at the city gate did not know that Dong Zhuo was going to kill Jiang Sheng, and in broad daylight, there was nothing abnormal for several wealthy families to travel, so they all let them go.
When Li Wei led the army into the city, Jiang Sheng's female dependents had been transferred out of the city, and Zhao Yun led the army to receive the female dependents, and then quickly retreated eastward.
Let's say that when Jiang Sheng led the Xuanjia warriors out of the city, he met Li Dao, who roared and waved his army to kill. Jiang Sheng didn't say a word, picked up the Tiangangliang silver spear and took the lead in killing it.
Xu Huang swung the big axe, Zhou Cang danced the mace, roared and rushed over, and the Xuanjia warriors they brought were in the city and had no war horses, so they followed behind Xu Huang and Zhou Cang to kill the enemy with short knives.
Some of the soldiers of the Li Dao Department are the new army under the command of Jiang Sheng, when He Jin was in power, the command of the department was handed over to Cao Cao, after Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, in addition to some of the soldiers unloading their armor and returning to their hometowns, this part of the army was led by Li Dao, this part of the new army totaled more than 10,000 people, seeing that Li Dao intercepted and killed Jiang Sheng, he turned against each other directly, and Li Dao's army was caught off guard, and was killed so that people turned on their backs and retreated. The Xuanjia warriors took the opportunity to snatch Li Daojun's war horse, and under the leadership of Jiang Sheng, they killed the east gate of Luoyang, and the new army that defected also fought and retreated, leaving Luoyang.
Xu Rong and Fan Chou led the army to surround the Xuanjia cavalry camp, but saw that the camp was empty, so they quickly returned to the city and tried to block Jiang Sheng in the city.
At this time, Lu Bu had also led the army to come and shouted: "Chase! ”
Li Dao rectified the remnants of the army and followed Xu Rong and Fan Chou to chase eastward, while Lu Bu guarded Luoyang in order to prevent the tiger from being transferred from the mountain. Dong Zhuo knew that Jiang Shengjun was able to fight well, and sent Zhang Ji to lead the army to support.
It is said that Zhao Yun escorted the female dependents and civil officials to the east, and soon joined Yu Ban and Zhang He's troops, and then asked Zhang He to lead two thousand Le'an cavalry to escort the female dependents and civil officials non-stop, and continued to retreat eastward.
The rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Zhao Yun and Yu Ban respectively to meet Jiang Sheng.
In less than an hour, Jiang Sheng had already led the army to arrive, and joined forces with Zhao Yun and Yu Ban, and the new army that defected was also incorporated into the Yu Ban Army.
Xu Rong's cavalry was the majority, and soon pursued, Yu Ban and Zhao Yun led the cavalry to meet the battle, while Xu Huang took over the command of the infantry and led the infantry to protect Jiang Sheng and quickly retreat eastward.
Jiang Sheng said: "Wen Ze, Zilong, you must not fall in love with the war, and fight and retreat, it is particularly important to preserve your strength!" ”
The two said in unison: "Lord, go away!" I'll know what to do! ”
Most of the cavalry led by Fan Chou came from the New Army and the Northern Army, and their combat effectiveness was not weak, but compared to the Le'an cavalry and the Xuanjia cavalry, it was still a little worse.
After several rounds of killing, Fan Choubu lost more than 3,000 people, while Jiang Shengjun suffered less than 1,000 casualties. Yu Ban saw that Xu Rong's troops were slightly weak, so he divided his troops with Zhao Yun to encircle him.
Fan Chou struggled to support, and when he saw the soldiers under his command fall one by one, he was in a hurry, blaming himself for being alone and falling into a situation of being surrounded.
Yu Ban and Zhao Yun led the army to fight for a while, saw the smoke and dust billowing from a distance, and knew that Dong Zhuo's reinforcements were coming, so he sent a signal and led the army to quickly break away from the battle situation and retreat to the east in an orderly manner.
When Xu Rong and Zhang Ji's army arrived, Fan Chou's army had already been defeated, so the various armies joined forces and continued to pursue eastward.
Although Zhang Hebu said that he was a cavalryman, he escorted Liu Qian, Tang Ji and a number of civil officials, especially Liu Qian and Tang Ji, who could not ride horses at all, and Tong Lin and Zhang Wanrong each brought one person, so the marching speed was slow.
Jiang Sheng and Xu Huang were all infantry, but the marching speed was faster than Zhang He's, and the two divisions quickly converged, while Yu Ban and Zhao Yun, who were out of the battle, retreated quickly and had already caught up with the large army.
Jiang Sheng was very anxious when he saw such a slow marching speed, so he let Yu Ban lead part of the Le'an cavalry and infantry to break off, and urged Zhang He's troops to speed up the march, and asked Zhao Yun to lead 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry to lead away the main force of Dong Zhuo's army.
After Dong Zhuo's troops and horses were combined, there were 60,000 troops, of which the forward troops were 20,000 cavalry led by Xu Rong, and 8,000 of the 20,000 cavalry were Xiliang iron cavalry, and their combat power was extraordinary.
Zhao Yun's plan to lure the enemy failed to work, Xu Rong was not fooled, but led the army to storm the forbidden department, Yu Ban thought that Xu Rong's troops were the same as Fan Chou's, so he ordered the infantry to line up in a defensive formation, and led the cavalry to meet Xu Rong.
As soon as the two armies fought, Yu Ban regretted it a little, the combat power of Xu Rong's cavalry was obviously much higher than that of Fan Chou's army, but they had already fought together, so they could only fight hard.
In a short time, the 3,000 Le'an cavalry led by Yu Ban was completely lost, and he had to withdraw to his own formation, organize the infantry to drag Xu Rong's troops in a defensive formation, and buy time for the retreat of Jiang Sheng and Zhang He.
Zhao Yun saw that Xu Rongjun was not fooled, and there were almost no cavalry on the forbidden position, so he waved his army to rescue, but was intercepted by Zhang Jijun, Zhao Yun was eager to save people, and led the army to fight and rush, causing nearly 2,000 casualties to Zhang Jijun, while the Xuanjia cavalry also lost nearly 500 people.
Xu Rong relied on the Xiliang cavalry led by himself, repeatedly rushed to kill, several times broke through the formation of the forbidden infantry army, Yu Ban hurriedly commanded the change of formation, blocked Xu Rongjun's rush to kill, countless casualties, he saw Zhao Yun waving the army to rescue, so he organized the troops to move closer to Zhao Yun's department.
Zhao Yun led the army to sacrifice his life to fight, and finally joined forces with Yu Ban, but the Yu Ban Department of more than 20,000 people was left with less than 5,000 infantry at this time.
At this time, Li Dao and Fan Chou had also led the army to kill, and Zhao Yun saw that it was difficult to resist, so he fought and retreated with Yu Ban's troops, but saw Jiang Sheng lead nearly a thousand Xuanjia cavalry to kill him.
After the three armies joined forces, Jiang Sheng immediately commanded all units to form a conical formation and retreat in an orderly manner.
Xu Rong saw that it was difficult to break through from the front, so he divided his troops into three routes, and let Zhang Ji, Li Dao and Fan Chou outflank Jiang Shengjun from the left and right flanks.
Jiang Sheng was surrounded on three sides, and had to be driven by Dong Zhuojun, forced to retreat in one direction, and after retreating to a hillside, Jiang Sheng ordered the infantry to form a defensive formation at the foot of the mountain, so that the soldiers who were good at shooting were the second echelon, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were arranged as the rear formation.
Xu Rong saw that Jiang Shengjun had gone up the mountain, so he organized all his troops to surround him under the mountain. Li Wei led his army to attack Jiang Sheng on his back, but was killed and repelled by a dense burst of crossbow arrows, suffering heavy casualties.
Fan Chou also organized a charge, and hundreds of people were also shot, since then all the troops did not dare to rush up the mountain again, Xu Rong judged that Jiang Shengjun's arrows were not too many, so he urged the troops to attack.
At this time, Fan Chou, Li Dao and Zhang Ji didn't buy it, who was willing to use their own soldiers to consume Jiang Shengjun's arrows, and their departments were all in equal positions, and there was no question of who commanded whom, Xu Rong had to give up.
Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, Xu Rong shouted at the bottom of the mountain: "The prime minister only investigates Jiang Sheng's sin, and the servant is not guilty!" (To be continued.) )
