Chapter 39: The World Shakes
"Dong Huang'er, today is your death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 I saw that Han Suijun suddenly stopped retreating, and a general walked out of the formation with a spear, which was very powerful.
"Hmph, only 20,000 remnants of the army were defeated, and they dared to oppose our army." Dong Huang stood out from the formation, his eyes full of disdain.
"20,000 remnants of the army defeated?" The admiral laughed when he heard this, and he said something like that when he looked around.
There was a sudden sound all around, then closer and closer, and finally, like thunder, the two generals of the Qiang people each led 20,000 cavalry from the two wings, and the surrounding black pressure could not see the edge.
Dong Huang, who was in the formation, was also panicked, although he had killed people, but he had never experienced such a battle, in the face of Han Sui's army that surrounded them, he did not let his army change the formation to face the battle, but shouted in place: "Resist, resist." ”
"Today is my Jincheng Yan Xing, Yan Yanming's battle of prestige." I saw that the general who had just talked to Dong Huang shouted in place, and then rode out on horseback, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army around him did not have an enemy.
"Hurry up and protect the general." Looking at Yan Xing, who was riding a horse into the battle, Dong Huang immediately ran to the rear of the army, seeing that the main general was so incompetent and afraid of death, the surrounding Liangzhou army soldiers were also panicked and chilled. In the face of Han Suijun, who came like an overwhelming force, their circle became smaller and smaller, and there was a scene of trampling each other to death between people.
"Childe is in a panic, and Hu Zhen is here." Hu Zhen's cavalry finally caught up with Dong Huang's army in a hurry, Hu Zhen took the lead and took the lead in the battle, and the brave Xiliang cavalry made a hole in the formation.
"General Hu, save me." Seeing Hu Zhen's reinforcements Dong Huang showing joy, he rampaged in the direction of the reinforcements, no matter how dense the flow of people was, as long as he stood in front of him, he would be killed.
Looking at Dong Huang, who was so greedy for life and afraid of death, and regarded soldiers like mustard, Hu Zhen couldn't help but feel a chill.
"Is he the commander who will command my Xiliang army in the future?" For the first time, Hu Zhen, a loyal general, wavered from Dong Zhuo's decision.
"Don't panic." Change formations and counterattack with me. Hu Zhen shouted in place, but his voice could not reach the ears of every Xiliang soldier, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, some of whom were divided and surrounded by Han Sui's army, and some retreated again and again, forming a black and oppressive sea of people.
Looking at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were in chaos and unable to organize effective resistance, Hu Zhen's heart was full of self-blame, although this battle was not his fault, it was also inseparable from him.
Yan Xing led a pair of elite cavalrymen with spears and killed in the direction of Hu Zhen: "You are Hu Zhen, the general of the Xiliang Army." ”
"It's a certain house." Hu Zhen himself is also a fierce general, looking at Yan Xing, who led people into his own formation, his heart couldn't help but be full of anger.
A smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xing's mouth, he carried a gun and killed Hu Zhen, Hu Zhen was also really angry at this moment, he waved the long knife in his hand and prepared to end this kid who didn't know the height of the sky and dared to provoke him.
Yan Xing's spear pierced Hu Zhen's throat, and Hu Zhen didn't even see how he shot clearly, and he was already dead.
"Is this Hu Zhen, the general of the Xiliang Army, it seems to be too weak." After Yan Xing killed Hu Zhen, he looked at his hands and showed a strange smile.
"Oh no, General Hu was killed by them. I don't know who shouted, which made the already chaotic Xiliang Army even more chaotic. And Han Suijun, looking at Yan Xing's courage in killing Hu Zhen, roared one after another, and his morale was greatly boosted.
As soon as Hu Zhen died, the Xiliang army had no chance of victory, the Xiliang army was defeated, and the Xiliang army, which was close to 20,000, surrendered, and the banner of Han Sui was planted in the city of Tianshui today.
In fact, when Han Sui's army and horses had just been killed, as long as Dong Huang immediately changed the formation, he took the lead to boost morale, and with his 40,000 elite Xiliang soldiers, he could not turn defeat into victory at the beginning, but at the beginning of the war, he did not give the correct command, which made the 40,000 Xiliang army become a plate of loose sand, and he was still greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was good at killing soldiers, which led to a rout.
When Hu Zhen opened the encirclement of Han Sui with reinforcements, the Xiliang army lacked an excellent commander, otherwise it would have relied on the new arrival of reinforcements. The reorganization of the soldiers may not be so miserable.
In this battle, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Xiliang Army died, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses surrendered, and Han Sui occupied the entire Tianshui County with thunder.
When the news reached Luoyang, there was a great shock in the court, and Dong Zhuo urgently ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Longxi to the front line to defeat Han Sui.
For Dong Huang, Dong Zhuo was disappointed this time.
And at this time, Dong Huang found Niu Fu, who was not arrested after the defeat, but broke out of the siege under the escort of his own soldiers.
"Brother-in-law, give me a chance to make meritorious contributions." Dong Huang lay at Niu Fu's feet and cried, and the crying Niu Fu couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and immediately appointed Dong Huang as the vanguard and led 20,000 soldiers and horses to go first and crusade against Han Sui.
Before the battle, Dong Huang saw Yan Xing again, the man who left a deep memory on him, his legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble, but he still fought hard with the army. Yan Xing was extremely brave, and Dong Huang did not pass through the battle array, and the Xiliang army was defeated in this battle.
As the vanguard was defeated, the follow-up troops also lost their morale, and finally in another battle, Niu Fu's army was defeated and retreated, Niu Fu himself was injured, and the soldiers and horses of Longxi retreated to stability.
When the news of the defeat of Niu Fu's army came out, Ma Teng, who was entrenched in Wuwei, instantly became a little more proud, and he contacted the local Qiang people and gathered 100,000 people to form an alliance with Han Sui.
Han and Ma formed an alliance, the momentum soared, and the soldiers were invincible, and in just a few days, nearly half of the land of Liangzhou fell into their hands.
When these news spread throughout the land of Liangzhou, Chen Xun's soldiers and horses also happened to be stable, in Chen Xun's original plan, as long as the grain and grass of the Tianfang tribe could be cut off, then Han Sui's army would undoubtedly be defeated, who knew that Dong Huang's straw bag gave up a good advantage, which eventually led to a big rout.
Later, Niu Fu sent troops, and Chen Xun wanted to defect, but they missed each other. Most of the soldiers and horses in Longxi were new soldiers, and most of the elite soldiers and horses were brought to Luoyang by Dong Zhuo, and Niu Fu was not an excellent commander, and the misuse of Dong Huang led to this defeat.
The situation is changing, in just a few dozen days, the Liangzhou army has been defeated one after another, 100,000 soldiers and horses are shrouded, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have succumbed to the enemy in order to survive.
This made Chen Xun extremely angry, and he had almost seen the Qiang people raging on the land of Liangzhou by now.
When Chen Xun arrived in Anding, he got the news that Niu Fu's remnants were escorting Niu Fu to retreat to Anding, and Dong Huang was also sent to Luoyang by Niu Fu because of several defeats and handed over to Dong Zhuo for disposal.
