Chapter 198: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
The sky was slightly bright, the Tiger Prison Pass was bathed in a faint morning mist, Hu Xuan and Li Su discussed the military situation for the whole night, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a small colonel ran in, and said hurriedly and shockedly: "General Huaxiong is back." ”
Seeing Xiao Xiao Xiao look like this, Hu Xuan's heart sank at the same time as Li Su and the others, and in an instant, he saw Hua Xiong stumbling in unkempt, and the strength he brought up extinguished the candle flame that had not yet been extinguished, and then Hua Xiong knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said sadly: "General, the last general is incompetent, and the 5,000-strong army has been wiped out~"
"You~" Hu Xuan stumbled and almost fell to the ground, pointed at Hua Xiong and said angrily: "Aren't you claiming to be the head of the thief army?" ”
At present, there are more than 80,000 defenders in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Niu Fuzheng has received an army of 100,000 to converge, and the 5,000 cavalry is really nothing, but the meaning is different.
Sun Jianjun's insults and provocations for days, the guards were already indignant, and almost everyone was determined to win the night attack on Sun Jian's camp, but the 5,000-strong army was wiped out, and the fierce general Hua Xiong was also seriously wounded, and the morale of the Xiliang army was greatly damaged, which can be imagined~
Then Hua Xiong recounted all the encounters, and after Li Su heard it, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Sun Nut is really not to be underestimated, and you need to try to get rid of it~"
。。。。。。
Sun Jian's camp.
Hua Xiong attacked the camp at night, which had long been expected by Sun Jian, to set up an ambush with a plan, and annihilated Hua Xiong's five thousand Xiliang soldiers in one fell swoop, and in the end, if it wasn't for Hua Xiong's deputy general sacrificing his life to save him, Hua Xiong's own life would probably have to stay here.
At that time, Sun Jian secretly felt pity in his heart, but in a blink of an eye, he forgot about this matter, although he ambushed the enemy, but the camp was also badly damaged.
"The lord is overjoyed." Huang Gai hurriedly ran into the big tent, and said to Sun Jian with excitement on his face: "Lord, we have made a lot of money this time, we have captured more than 500 sturdy horses and more than 400 injured horses, and they are all authentic Xiliang war horses!" ”
"Is that true?" Hearing this, Sun Jian suddenly got up, his face was full of disbelief, in fact, not only did the coalition army have few cavalry, but even in the entire Han territory, except for Youzhou and Liangzhou, there were basically no cavalry.
In fact, it is not because horses are produced in addition to these two places, and horses are not produced in other places, which leads to the fact that there are few cavalry among the princes of all walks of life, just saying that horses are produced in the Jianghuai area, but the horses produced here are far inferior to the horses in the north in terms of physical strength, speed and weight-bearing capacity, and can only be used as civilian.
It was when Huang Gai said that he had stirred up more than 500 sturdy Xiliang horses, so he was so excited.
"It's true!" Huang Gai nodded, but then frowned: "It's just that the coalition forces have regulations that all the delivered materials must be redistributed by the alliance leader, which..."
"Hmph~" Sun Jian snorted coldly and sneered: "Who said that Ben will not be ready to hand it in?" Aren't there more than 400 wounded horses? Pull back the coalition camp! ”
"Lord~"
As soon as Sun Jian's words fell, Cheng Pu, who was checking the damaged materials, had already hurried over, and said to Sun Jian in a solemn voice: "Lord, the casualties of our soldiers are not large, most of them are minor injuries, but our army's grain and grass have been damaged by more than half, which is no longer enough for our army for ten days!" ”
"Hmm!" Sun Jian bowed his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Huang Gai listened to the order, and immediately escorted the captured four hundred war horses back to the camp of the coalition army, and urged the grain and grass by the way!" ”
"The last will be ordered!" Huang Gai knew it in his heart and took the order to go!
After Huang Gai left, Sun Jian's eyes fell on Cheng Pu, and he said in a condensed voice: "Demou, you secretly escorted five hundred sturdy war horses south to Wang Changsha, remember, this is the foundation for us to form cavalry in the future!" ”
Cheng Pu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general will never live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
。。。。。。
Coalition battalion.
Liu Wei knelt on the seat with a calm expression, and in front of her was a charred and blackened headless corpse, and all the princes looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
"You don't know this person!" Liu Wei pointed to the corpse, and said with a calm face: "This is the corpse found by the scouts sent by Lone on the slope, where is it not only this charred corpse, there are at least two or three thousand people at the scene!" ”
"Slope?" Yuan Shao's gaze fell on the huge military topographic map hanging on the side, his expression changed suddenly, and he turned around and said in a condensed voice: "Is it a shortcut for our army to reach the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”
Liu Wei said lightly: "What the alliance leader said is right, and where the sour jujube is located, except for our coalition army, it is impossible for anyone to send thousands of people to the Tiger Prison Pass, there should be someone here who understands the meaning of Lone, right?" ”
At this time, Bao Xin rushed to the corpse like crazy, ignoring the stunned eyes of the princes from all walks of life, he laboriously peeled off the charred armor, and a brown birthmark appeared on his left chest, Bao Xin slapped his butt on the ground, and looked at the corpse in a daze.
There is no need for Liu Wei to say, everyone has already understood the meaning, Yuan Shao immediately waited for Bao Xin viciously, and shouted: "Yuncheng, what is going on?" Why don't you get it soon? ”
As Bao Xin's grief sounded, everyone understood what was going on, and Yuan Shao said abruptly: "Yuncheng, why are you so confused?" The Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway to Luoyang, and the thief general Li Ru is delicate, how can he no longer lay heavy troops? Bao Zhong lost his life in vain! ”
"Yes, yes~" Immediately after that, the princes who were close to Yuan Shao's family spoke out one after another to accuse Bao Xin of losing the soldiers and rubbing the sharp spirit of the coalition army, and Liu Wei, who listened to it, frowned.
His original intention was not to let everyone take charge of Bao Xin at all, Bao Zhong's 3,000 people were ambushed on the slope, it was obvious that in addition to the Tiger Prison Pass, there was also an enemy army in secret, were these people all pigs?
"Ahem~" Liu Wei coughed fiercely, and waited for everyone's voices to be quieted down before condensing his voice: "Everyone, let's not talk about Yuncheng for the time being, now it is obvious that in addition to the Xiliang soldiers stationed in Hujiao Pass, there is also a soldier and horse secretly, which ambushes our coalition army, which is obviously an enemy but not a friend, so let's discuss this scurrying enemy army first?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, in fact, they couldn't think of this, but Bao Zhong's 3,000 people were ambushed and burned alive by a fire, such a cruel method, none of them wanted to provoke, and the most difficult thing in this era is the wandering army, the large army went out, they must have already fled, a small group of soldiers and horses went out to fight, and there was no guarantee that it was not the opponent of the wandering enemy.
Therefore, they tend to turn a blind eye to the wandering thieves.
