Chapter 125: Sun Jian returned in a fiasco

It was another bright spring day, and six days had passed since the Allies took the Tiger Pass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past few days, all the princes and generals of the allied forces have been drinking and singing in the Tiger Prison, as if the Demon King Dong has been tied, and the world has been pacified by them.

However, Sun Jian's return broke the peace of the Tiger Prison.

Sun Jian naturally did not come back to drink triumphantly, but returned in a fiasco!

The four powerful generals under Sun Jian's command not only lost one named Zu Mao, but less than half of the more than 1,000 Jiangdong generals who accompanied the army.

The 5,000 Jiangdong cavalry at the time of departure, if it weren't for the more than 3,000 Xiliang war horses to replenish it, it is still difficult to say whether there would be 2,000 cavalry left.

As for the 25,000 Jiangdong infantry troops, less than 5,000 escaped back!

The vanguard army suffered such heavy losses that all the princes who were intoxicated with sheng songs in the Tiger Prison Pass were a little stunned.

Only Yuan Mengzhuo, although he was also shocked by Sun Jian's loss, but Yuan Mengzhu's heart was so happy that he almost wanted to sing a song.

Sun Jian's son Sun Ce is likely to have the strength to sweep the world, so Yuan Mengzhu can't help but want to wear small shoes for Sun Jian.

Yuan Shao had long known that the Xiliang army that came to support Huaxiong was likely to set up a camp somewhere not far from the Tiger Pass.

The allied forces were all killed, and it was naturally the result of a wave of peace.

But what Yuan Mengzhu wanted at that time was to borrow the camp of the Xiliang Army to sharpen the blades of the princes.

In the end, Sun Jian lived up to Yuan Shao's expectations, and the monkey hurriedly grabbed this important task.

In fact, whether it is Sun Jian or any other prince, if he goes to exterminate those Xiliang troops who come to help, as long as he is cautious, not to mention swallowing these Xiliang troops, at least he will not be so embarrassed by Sun Jian.

This is the difference between the princes who have a kobold military division and the princes who do not have a kobold military division!

Of course, a timid and cautious prince like Tao Qian would not bite that kind of thorny bait.

……

In other words, on the day of the attack, Sun Jian was full of confidence.

In Sun Jian's opinion at that time, three or five thousand fish that slipped through the net were not a concern, all he wanted was the war horses under the seat of those fish that slipped through the net.

Of course, after eliminating those fish that slipped through the net, Sun Jian was also ready to advance the battle line to Luoyang City, the capital division.

With this kind of thought, Sun Jian successfully exterminated more than 4,000 defeated Xiliang elite horses, and harvested more than 3,000 Xiliang war horses, but his own battle damage was more than 1,500 horses.

Fortunately, most of their Jiangdong cavalry are infantry troops on horseback, and as long as there are war horses, they can quickly pull up the cavalry.

After Sun Ce caught up with the infantry army, Sun Jian quickly replenished the cavalry to 6,000 cavalry.

However, it was late at night, which was not conducive to the continued march of the army, and Sun Jian's vanguard army could only find a nearby place to camp.

In the middle of the night, Sun Jian received bad news.

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who returned one after another, are the only ones who have lost Zu Darong!

Huang Gai is quite smart. Picking the mountain and forest trails, I avoided the gorge that made Zu Mao fold. Otherwise, Sun Jian would have lost more than one Zu Darong, and it is very likely that even Huang Gai would be buried at that gorge.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang followed the Yellow River and ran all the way to the edge of the river before turning the road, and finally escaped back to Sun Jian's camp before dawn.

Zu Mao didn't return in time, and Sun Jian was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Zu Mao would be delayed somewhere.

The worst is that he was also captured by the Xiliang army.

If Zu Mao's whereabouts are unknown, which makes Sun Jian a little uneasy, then the news that Cheng Pu and the three of them brought back makes Sun Jian a little overjoyed.

According to Cheng Pu's three people, about fifty or sixty ahead, there should be a camp of the Xiliang Army.

At that time, Sun Jian's brain rarely did not enter the water, and he quickly thought that it was the Xiliang reinforcements who came to support Huaxiong.

Judging from Hua Xiong's sneak attack on Tiger Prison Pass with only 20,000 elite horsemen, as well as the 5,000 crossbowmen who ambushed Cheng Pu, there were not many Xiliang troops who came to help.

At least, their elite horses were all consumed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net were also wiped out by him Sun Jian.

Then, in the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, the rest are all infantry troops, and the number is not very large!

If there were more than 50,000 infantry troops in that reinforcement camp, there would be more than 5,000 crossbowmen in ambush for Cheng Pu.

Sun Jian's brain hole was rarely opened, and he soon saw where the credit was.

Moreover, Sun Jian still had an idea at that time, if Zu Mao was captured and was in the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, then he would take the opportunity to rescue Zu Mao.

……

When he arrived at the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, Sun Jian finally learned that Zu Mao was killed by a young general named Zhang Xiu.

Sun Jian, who was very grief-stricken, immediately led his army to attack the camp of the Xiliang army.

In Sun Jian's opinion, a mere 20,000 infantry army defending the camp would not be able to stop his 30,000 troops in Jiangdong!

This move not only avenges his Darong brothers, but also gains a battle feat.

Moreover, the materials of these Xiliang reinforcements can be swallowed by him Sun Jian alone!

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is quite skinny!

It was the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, but it made Sun Jian kowtow his head and bleed, knocking out his big teeth!

Xu Rong is the best at defending the city.

Whether it is the city wall or this temporary camp, as long as it is defended by Xu Rong, with only Sun Jian's 30,000 Jiangdong troops, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to capture the camp defended by Xu Rong!

Although there were not many generals in the camp of the Xiliang Army, the crossbowmen of as many as 5,000 people were enough to make up for the gap with Sun Jian's more than 1,000 generals.

Moreover, there are more than ten bed crossbows in the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, which is the culprit of such a heavy loss to the Jiangdong generals!

In the reinforcement camp of the Xiliang Army, Sun insisted on stumbling for two days, not only losing the soldiers, but also almost being dumpled by the Xiliang Army who came to support again, and almost couldn't come back.

Of course, when the war was scorching, Sun Jian also sent a request for help to the Lord of the Yuan League, but until today, when he fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass, what he saw was that all the princes of the allied army were drunk and dreaming of death, and the reinforcements didn't even know where the shadow was!

Sun Jian was very angry, very angry, in the big tent of the Yuan League Lord, he almost drew his sword against the Yuan brothers for this.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's obstruction and persuasion of peace, if it weren't for Sun Ce's failure to recover, Sun Jian really wanted to let the Yuan brothers know, and let these princes of the allied army know what a brotherly wall is!

……

"In this way, we have just sent a batch of requisitions to Ding Zhuang to arrive, so we will give priority to General Sun to replenish 30,000 people."

"Brother Wentai, do you think it's good?" Yuan Shao pretended to think about it, and then said generously.

Sun Jian's strength was so badly damaged, which was also something that the Yuan Alliance Lord was happy to see. It's a pity that the big general who died was Zu Mao, not Sun Jian's little overlord son.

As for supplementing Sun Jian with 30,000 people, it seems that Sun Jian's strength has been restored, but it is not.

At least half of Sun Jian's 30,000 Jiangdong Army were veterans who started with him. The Ding Zhuang who is now replenished is just requisitioned from Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and they are all the leftover, unwanted crooked melons and cracked dates levied by the local princes of those four states.

"That's it!"

"However, we also have to replenish all the ordnance!" Sun Jian finally agreed to this compensation.
