The eighty-fifth episode Xingyang was ambushed
Cao Cao's vanguard was only a few hundred meters away from Xun Gang's troops, and in Cao Cao's words, this was to prevent ambushes, when the two forces could increase their combat effectiveness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xun Gang originally wanted to use his army as the vanguard, after all, Cao Cao's 3,000 soldiers and horses were too embarrassing; But Cao Cao felt that he borrowed troops from Xun Gang, and if he let his vanguard suffer heavy losses at that time, he could only apologize with his head.
Cao Cao didn't want Xun Gang to come in person, after all, in his opinion, a little hairy boy would only get in the way; But he wants to borrow troops from Xun Gang, what can he do if he wants to come? I can only hope that this little hairy boy will not be too speechless.
The troops of more than 10,000 people hurriedly marched to a county town, but saw Cao Cao in front of him stop his pace; Xun Gang looked at the stone carving on the county with some doubts, saying "Yangwu". Xun Gang thought to himself that this place was still far away from Luoyang, why did Cao Cao stop here?
Guo Jia was arranged by Xun Gang in the sour jujube military camp, and only Dian Wei and Xu Shu were taken on this trip. Accompanied by Dian Wei Xu Shu, Xun Gang slowly walked towards the city wall, but before they could see the structure of the city wall clearly, they were stunned by the scene in front of them - at the gate of the city, hundreds of corpses were lying mixed together, blood flowing all over the ground, emitting a disgusting breath.
There seemed to be a stench in the air except for blood, but seeing those disheveled female corpses, Xun Gang seemed to be able to guess what was happening. The faces of the deceased showed extremely hideous expressions, perhaps a bitter complaint about the injustice of this world, but it also contained the helplessness of falling on the spot.
"Vomit ......"
It was the first time Xun Gang had seen so many corpses, and even though he had undergone a variety of training in the future, he had never seen such a terrifying scene. The scarlet blood made the air extremely viscous, and it also made Xun Gang's throat feel very uncomfortable. Perhaps he should have expected that the troubled times would be so ruthless.
"Xun Fangbo, I think these are Dong Zhuo's masterpieces."
Cao Cao rode his horse and slowly followed, looking at the corpses in front of him with a slightly serious expression; Unexpectedly, in order to avoid the coalition army, Dong Zhuo not only moved away all the population, but even killed those who didn't want to leave on the spot, how could this be reasonable!
"Dong Zhuo thief, mutilating the innocent, I will pay for your life!"
Xun Gang retched vigorously, finally relieved himself, and seemed to gradually get used to the blood in the air; He glanced at Cao Cao, thinking to himself where you have slaughtered more cities than Dong Zhuo, don't turn around and hurt your face when the time comes!
"I'm afraid that this situation is not just here, my lord...... Why don't you go into the city and check it out, maybe there will be survivors. ”
Listening to Xu Shu's suggestion, Xun Gang nodded, but Cao Cao felt that this was too much of a waste of time, Dong Zhuo's army would not come back anyway, even if there were survivors, they could protect themselves, so why bother here?
Damn, you were still scolding Dong Zhuo before, but now you don't want to care about other people's lives and deaths; Even if you catch up, can you still kill Dong Zhuo? Speaking of Lu Bu alone, it is not something that the two of us can deal with!
"If this is not the case, General Cao, you lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, I am moving your five thousand to take the first step, and I will follow closely with the remaining five thousand people, so is it good?" Xun Gang gave a compromise method.
Cao Cao nodded again and again, there is no shortage of good generals under him, and what he lacks is soldiers; Xun Gang is willing to give him soldiers and still doesn't keep up, this is the best. And with these 8,000, what shall I do to thee the 5,000?
Look at your discoloration...... It's like never seeing a soldier; Xun Gang laughed coldly at Cao Cao in his heart, and quietly watched Cao Cao excitedly continue to march west with thousands of soldiers and horses. Xun Gang asked Dian Wei to give the order to enter Yangwu City to find survivors.
Five thousand soldiers and horses stepped on those hundreds of corpses, and there was no thought of the dead in Xun Gang's heart; In his opinion, people are dead anyway, and you don't feel it, so is it difficult to ask me for your life?
Yangwu City is not small, but it is lifeless now; Many houses are still burning, and it seems that the city can be wiped out at any moment. Xun Gang didn't have time to pay attention to this, but just ordered his men to go down to the ruins to find the survivors.
5,000 people looking for people alive in such a large city, although it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack; Xun Gang looked at the sky boredly, the blood-red sky seemed to correspond to the remnant sun, but the dense dark clouds realized that it was about to rain.
"The big man is withering, even the heavenly prince can't stand it?"
Just as Xun Gang sighed, a soldier ran over on the side, saying that there was no one who found the inventory in which building; Then one after another, people came running over to report what they had seen. However, these people all said that they did not find any survivors, although Xun Gang didn't know if they did their best, but they could only take it seriously.
"Report! A child was found in a house in the north of the city, and there was still a trace of breath! ”
Hearing this news, Xun Gang's body suddenly shook, he didn't expect that there would really be people alive here; Xun Gang hurriedly asked the soldier to bring the person up, it turned out to be a ten-year-old child, his body was full of scars, in this era, even abrasions could be fatal at any time. Xun Gang didn't dare to be in a trance, and ordered the soldiers to bandage his wounds first.
But the child is in a coma, and he does not know who his name is or who his parents are; It can only be preliminarily identified that he is a boy, about ten years old, and the gorgeous clothes he wears seem to imply that his identity is not simple.
Looking at the child's sleepy face, Xun Gang always felt a little uneasy in his heart......
"There shouldn't be any other survivors." Xun Gang looked around, and sighed helplessly, in such a county with at least a thousand households, there is only one child left and there is still a trace of life, isn't it sad!
"Dian Wei, you can take this kid first."
Xun Gang handed over the little baby to Dian Wei, after all, he was not at ease with so many soldiers, and it seemed that only Dian Wei could make him feel relieved: "When this child wakes up, bring him to me." ”
Dian Wei received the order, but it seemed a little awkward to hear Xun Gang call a ten-year-old child Xiaowa......
"Let's go!"
The army began to advance towards the west again, and although it passed through many villages on the way, they were all plundered and slaughtered by Dong Zhuo. But Xun Gang didn't stay too much, although there may be survivors inside, but if he was rescued one by one, would he still be able to beat Dong Zhuo?
I don't know how long I walked, and I came to a wilderness, and there was no one around, although Xun Gang was already familiar with this situation, but he still felt a little creepy when he looked at it. Cao Cao's army has long since lost its course, and Xun Gang is like a headless fly, and he doesn't know what to do except go west.
Walking through the wilderness, he gradually came to a dense forest, surrounded by many mountains, and a wide river flowing slowly; Xun Gang didn't know where this place was, so he asked Xu Shu beside him.
"Back to the lord, this place should be Xingyang."
"Xingyang?"
"Xingyang!"
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in front of him, followed by the sound of gold and iron colliding with swords; A big war seems to be coming......
