The next day, the sun shone on the ice-covered Tiger Prison, and the soldiers suffered from the cold for a few days of low temperatures, but today, the warm sun did not hesitate to give the temperature to the soldiers on the front line.

The snow melted a lot, and even when you walked outside the big tent, you could be blinded by the sun.

A soldier guarding the gate was patrolling back and forth on the Tiger Prison Pass, and he inadvertently glanced at the camp tents below, the camp tents of the Han army were extremely large and orderly, which made him full of confidence in this war.

A confident smile, but instead, a stunned mouth, and a look of fear.

At the end of the line of sight not far away, a procession appeared in black, waving flags of various colors, and the words on them were also different. The number of people is huge, and it is like a black cloud sweeping in!

"Quick!" The soldier panicked and woke up his napping companions, and almost fell, but he held his weapon on the ground and kept his balance, and then nervously shouted: "There are enemy troops coming!" Blow the trumpet, quick! ”

For a while, the gate became a pot of porridge, and the soldiers guarding the pass hurriedly returned to their respective positions, sounded gongs and drums, and blew heavy horns.

"Whew!"

As the horn sounded, some sparrows that had not flown to the south were startled in the sky, and in the big white tent, the soldiers of the Han army also poured out, stood in their respective positions, quickly completed the assembly, and waited for the command of General Huaxiong, ready to fight against the combined army.

There are a total of eighteen princes in the United Army, but only three of them came as the vanguard this time, and the vanguard officers led by Changsha Taishou Sun Jian and Sun Wentai were the vanguards; The middle road is Liaodong Gongsun Zhan; The rear and grain and grass escorts are the younger brothers of the alliance leader Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Highway.

In fact, after such an arrangement, there was also a heated discussion within the United Army, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, also racked his brains and finally decided on the candidate.

Sun Jian has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and this time he also came from a long journey, in fact, his sharpness has slowly decreased, but the reason why he is still appointed as a pioneer is because Sun Jian is brave and martial, and his generals are extremely qualified. Moreover, in the Yangtze River area, Sun Jian once drove out water bandits for the people with the power of one person, and was known as the "Tiger of Jiangdong".

As for Gongsun Zan in the middle lane, Yuan Shao followed the advice of his adviser Tian Feng. Tian Feng predicted that it would be Gongsun Chan who would compete with Yuan Shao in Hebei in the future, so he persuaded Yuan Shao to take this opportunity to let Gongsun Chan be the middle of the front army and consume part of his strength first. Therefore, Yuan Shaocai took Gongsun Chan as the middle lane.

There is a thing worth mentioning here, when Gongsun Zhan marched from Hebei to the Central Plains, he passed by the plains and met his friends when he was studying, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, and his two brothers-in-law, namely Guan Yu and Ziyunchang; Zhang Fei, the word Yide. So, Gongsun Chan invited these three people to lead the army to defeat Dong Zhuo. It is rumored that Liu Bei is also a member of the Han family.

As for this rear army, there is a good saying, it is called "soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved". The grain transport officer has always been an important position in the lifeblood of the army, and Yuan Shao naturally arranged it to his younger brother Yuan Shu, but because of the position of being in charge of escorting grain and grass, Yuan Shu and his soldiers almost had nothing to do with such a thing as making war exploits.

It can be seen that in fact, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is not very good, and it is not because of anything else, just because although both of them were born to Yuan Feng, the elder brother Yuan Shao is a concubine, and the younger brother Yuan Shu is a concubine. Therefore, in private, Yuan Shu often looks down on this brother, and this brother can't talk about taking care of his younger brother.

On the vast snowfield, the Han army had already come out, and the combined army had also taken a foothold, and the rear team began to set up camp. The warm sun shone on the Yellow River in the north, and the previously frozen ice reflected a dazzling light.

Sun Jian rode a yellow-maned horse and stood in front of the battle, dressed in armor, wearing a bright red robe, and wearing a bright red scarf, which was very conspicuous in the sun. And he himself is also heroic and athletic.

There was also a general beside him, named Zhu Zhi, who asked curiously on the side at this time: "Lord, this march has come here, the opposite side occupies the pass, and has already set up camp, and at this time it is even more out of formation; Why didn't we just rush to kill for a while, but suddenly stood up and ordered the rear army to camp? If the enemy attacks suddenly, and our army is defeated, will it not be scattered and defeated in one fell swoop? ”

When Sun Jian's son Sun Ce also followed his father on the expedition, he rode behind Sun Jian, looking at his father with a handsome but slightly immature expression and awe.

Sun Jian turned his head to look at Sun Ce and asked, "In the opinion of the Buddha, why does the father act like this?" ”

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The child is stupid, I don't know what my father thinks in my heart, and I hope that my father will give the child some advice." ”

"Hahaha!" After hearing this, Sun Jian smiled arrogantly, and then pointed at the opposite side with his horsewhip and said: "I have heard of Hua Xiong's name, although he is the main general on this expedition, he is known for his military force, and he is not very outstanding in terms of army strategy. If ordinary people guard the Tiger Pass, they will definitely put the soldiers on the inside of the pass, and use the iron wall as a base to resist the enemy; But Zhu Zhi, Bo Fu, you see, his formation actually stationed the soldiers outside the pass, wanting to face each other head-on. This is enough to see that he is the same as his father, he is a high-minded and arrogant person, we just have to rest assured that he will not take the opportunity to kill him. ”

"The father is high, but the son is out of reach." Sun Ce smiled innocently and cheerfully, he was only seventeen years old at this time, and he was still young.

Zhu Zhi listened to Sun Jian's remarks on the side, first smiled and nodded in admiration, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have some concerns in his heart, and wanted to say it to Sun Jian, but after hesitation, he still endured it.

In less than a while, the three-way army and horses had already been encamped, except for the rear army Yuan Shu, who needed to guard in the tent, and did not come to the battle, Gongsun Chan and his generals had already driven their horses forward, as well as Liu Bei's three brothers, who also followed behind Gongsun Zhan.

Across a vast white snowfield, the Huaxiong Army opposite the United Army was already eager to try.

20,000 Han troops, against the front of the 15,000-man combined army of Tanmalay. Hua Xiong was naturally very calm, and all the Han soldiers were also full of confidence.

Zhao Yue stood in the middle of the formation, behind him was a team of 100 people led by him, and in front of him was the weak military marquis Liu Zheng, his eyes were full of worry, if the fight broke out for a while, would Liu Zheng's body be able to withstand it?

Although it is not the first time that Zhao Yue has gone into battle to kill the enemy, every time, his heart will beat very fast, because every time, the two sides are competing with their lives, competing!

Cao Ping saw Zhao Yue's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him with a pair of pure eyes, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Changjiao, you don't have to worry, our brothers are no longer what they were half a year ago, in the past six months, we have worked together and waited for this moment, and this time, there are more of us than them!" ”

"Even so, we can't worry about carelessness." Zhao Yue cautiously instructed, holding the long handle of the weapon tightly in his hand, and for some reason, his palms were sweating.

Hua Xiong, the main general at the front of the team, was wearing huge armor, with two meniscus knives on his waist and a big knife in his hand, which was majestic. He relied on his own courage and had full confidence in the Xiliang black horse under his crotch, so he took the lead and stood in the middle of the snowfield.

With a wave of the big knife, there was a hearty sound of breaking the sky, Hua Xiong's brows furrowed, and Yu immediately shouted angrily: "Where did some of the inferior people come from, dare to compete with Dong Zhuo Taishi, and if you are not afraid of death, come up, I will send you to see the king of Hades!" ”

Seeing this, the Han soldiers were greatly boosted and raised their weapons to cheer. When the tiger prison was closed, there were also bursts of drums, like thunder, urging people's hearts! Even Zhao Yue was shocked, he talked to Hua Xiong before, and saw that Hua Xiong didn't have any short temper, who knew that this time he was so enthusiastic!

On the side of the Combine, the soldiers were a little shaken.

Sun Jian looked back, and immediately became angry, and said to his subordinates: "You have followed me for many years, who dares to fight today?" Don't insult my reputation as the Tiger of Koto!? ”

As soon as the words fell, one person replied decisively: "The last general is willing to go!" After that, he rode his horse and only took Huaxiong.

Sun firmly looked at it and found that it was the general Zu Mao, who was overjoyed for a while, looked back at the herald behind him, and said loudly: "Order the drummer to beat the war drums and help General Zu Mao!" ”

"Yes!" The herald was given the order to go. In less than a moment, the combine's side also made a loud noise, and the soldiers instantly had the best to fight.

Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and others just watched silently from the sidelines, and did not ask for battle, because they knew that the vanguard was Sun Jian, and even if they wanted to be in the limelight, they had to wait behind Sun Wentai.

In the blink of an eye, Zu Mao had already rushed to Hua Xiong's side, attracting everyone to look intently.

The corners of Hua Xiong's mouth raised, pointed at Zu Mao with a knife, and said confidently on the horse: "Who are you, report your name, under my Hua Xiong's knife, I will not kill the nameless!" ”

"The young general in Dong Zhuo's army is not worthy of knowing Uncle Ben's name!" Zu Mao shouted, raised his gun and stabbed.

Hua Xiong's eyes narrowed, and when he opened them, his body had already dodged the tip of the gun, and he slashed it with a backhand swing.

You must know that when the two armies fight, the general is single-handed, and generally uses weapons to block the opponent's attack, and can only use his body to dodge it, which shows that this person is not only good at horse warfare, but also good at foot combat, and he has made accurate predictions of how the opponent will move.

Hua Xiong's knife at this time was cold and windy, and the edge was close to Zu Mao's neck, but Zu Mao really didn't expect that Hua Xiong would only use his body to dodge, not a weapon, at this time it was impossible to withdraw the spear to resist, and it was too late to dodge.

He closed his eyes in despair......

A burst of blood gushed out, staining the ground with a white snow, and the headless body slowly fell from the horse and fell to the snow with a muffled noise, shaking some snowflakes.

"General Zumao is dead!" In the formation of the combined army, I don't know who shouted a word, followed by an uproar, and the drums slowly stopped.

And the soldiers of the Han army, including Zhao Yue, couldn't help but shout loudly. The soldiers in the tiger prison laughed happily while beating the drums, and the drums beat much heavier than before.

Sun Jian rode a horse, his face showed a little vicissitudes, Zu Mao had followed him for many years, he was very loyal, and he died in battle at this moment, he couldn't help but be moved, but this is war, and it won't leave people too much time to think and remember.

"Huaxiong's martial arts really live up to its reputation." Sun Jian couldn't help but admire.

Gongsun Chan was on the side, sighed sadly, and said considerately: "Wentai, the first battle was lost, and the morale plummeted, so it is better to let the ...... under my account"

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Jian raised his hand and decisively refused: "No need, since the alliance leader let me Sun Wentai be the vanguard, how can I lose to Hua Xiong." After speaking, Sun Jian looked at the people around him and shouted: "Jiangdong boy, don't be afraid of death, who is willing to fight!" ”
