Chapter 511 The Battle of the Valley of Hundred Flowers
Baihua Valley, located at the junction of Xingyang and Luoyang, is a deep valley that seems to be very ordinary. In October of the first year of Huangtai, Cao Dan, a general under Dou Jiande, led more than 10,000 Xia troops, and they had already driven into the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

Looking at the flowery valley in front of him, Cao Dan, who is Dou Jiande's brother-in-law, was in a particularly good mood. Now that Dou Jiande's strength is getting stronger and stronger, it is not surprising that sooner or later he will become the emperor! Thinking that the relationship between Dou Jiande and his sister-in-law is so good, and his sister-in-law will also be the master of the harem in the future, Cao Dan's heart is so comfortable!
This time, Cao Dan's task was not to directly attack Luoyang! There are 160,000 troops in Luoyang City, and Cao Dan only has 10,000 horses, but he will not run to die! According to the plan of Song Zhengben, the strategist beside Dou Jiande, Cao Dan's task this time was only to occupy the Valley of Hundred Flowers as a containment, and as for other things to conquer the city, they were all responsible for others. There is no need to fight a battle, and when the time comes to reward meritorious deeds, his merits are indispensable, such a good thing, if it is not for his own sister-in-law blowing the wind on the pillow, how can it fall on his head? Thinking of the reward soon after, Cao Dan just felt light and fluttering, with a bright smile on his face, when he was farming in his hometown of Zhangnan, where would he have thought that he was so rich today?
"General!" At this time, an adjutant general ran over and shouted at Cao Dan: "The army has entered the valley, please give the general an order!" ”
Although his conjecture was interrupted, Cao Dan's good mood made Cao Dan not angry, just nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" Good! Now that it's here! Then go into the valley! Hehe! Well done! This general has his own reward! ”
"Yes! Checkmate! Although Cao Dan had the face of an upstart, after this sentence of reward was spoken, the deputy general also smiled from ear to ear! After all, who can't get along with money! Immediately, the lieutenant general directly clenched his fists and shouted, and then led the soldiers and horses towards the Valley of Hundred Flowers. This deputy general is different from Cao Dan, he was originally a junior general of the Sui army, but he surrendered to Dou Jiande's account, this ordinary march is not difficult for him, Dou Jiande sent him as Cao Dan's deputy general, that is, let him assist Cao Dan.
Under the command of this lieutenant general, the army began to enter the Valley of Hundred Flowers in an orderly manner, and the deputy general who walked in the front had just marched to the mouth of the valley of the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and saw a huge mountain stone erected at the mouth of the valley, in addition to the three big characters of "Valley of Hundred Flowers", there was also a row of small characters, but it was blocked by some grass and vine branches, and it was not clear to see. The deputy frowned, and subconsciously wanted to step forward to read those small words clearly, even if he stepped forward.
But before he could stretch out his hand to remove the vine branches on the rock, suddenly, a sharp sound was heard in the air, and an arrow shot directly from a corner in the distance! As soon as the lieutenant sensed that something was wrong, he immediately shrank his body back, but the arrow still hit his arm! For a while, a sharp pain came from his arm, but the arrow had already penetrated the adjutant general's arm, and the deputy general screamed in pain, flipped back, and fell to the ground!
The deputy general who was originally leading in front was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, which was also unexpected, and before the soldiers of the Xia army could react, they only heard the sound of bangzi, and the originally quiet Baihua Valley suddenly shouted to kill the sky! I saw that on the left side of the valley mouth of the Hundred Flowers Valley, on the top of a hill, a general wearing silver armor stood proudly, it was Zhu Muwu, the young general of the Liang Army! I saw Zhu Muwu spitting, threw the longbow in his hand to the soldiers around him, and said to himself: "General Changsun's archery skills are really not so easy to learn!" Never mind! It's still more handy! ”
After speaking, Zhu Muwu picked up a silver spear, pointed at the Xia army in front of him, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
With Zhu Muwu's shouting, the shouting and killing sound in the valley of Baihua Valley was even louder, and suddenly a large group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the valley, holding high the banner of King Liang, and directly rushed towards the Xia army at the mouth of the valley!
Cao Dan, who was in the Xia Army, saw this scene, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't jump off the horse! As far as the eye can see, it is as if countless enemies have rushed out! Cao Dan's courage was not big, in the face of such a situation, where did he dare to stay, he directly turned the horse's head and shouted with sweat: "Retreat!" Fall back! Retreat quickly! ”
In fact, although the Xia army at this time suddenly attacked by sneak attack, the formation was not chaotic, if Cao Dan had the guts, he would defend the formation, and the outcome was not yet known! But as soon as Cao Dan shouted to retreat, the morale of the Xia army suddenly fell to the bottom, as the so-called army is dominated by generals, and even the generals have run away, where will those soldiers stay and fight hard? It's also a U-turn and run!
At this time, the lieutenant general, who had just fallen off his horse with an arrow, finally stood up in pain. This deputy general was also hard, endured the pain, and directly pulled out the arrow that pierced his arm, covered the wound with his hand, and looked left and right with a miserable face. Only then did he realize that the Xia army behind him had been defeated! The lieutenant general also saw the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't retreat!" Don't retreat! You can still fight! Don't retreat! ”
It's a pity that at this time, the morale of the Xia army is scattered, and the morale is completely lost, no matter how the deputy general shouts, those Xia army soldiers will not turn around and come back, the deputy general shouted in his throat and has no effect, and his face is full of despair! After a long time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and then I reacted, and quickly turned around and ran towards my mount, and hurriedly prepared to leave.
And at the moment when he just turned around, a silver light suddenly came into his eyes, and then, before he could react, he felt a chill in his throat, and his whole body flew up immediately, and finally he could only watch countless horses' hooves and footsteps step over his body. The last thought left in his mind was: "What a fast gun!" ”
After killing the deputy general of the Xia army with one shot, Zhu Muwu did not stop at all, this time he was ordered to ambush in the Valley of Hundred Flowers and attack the Xia army, which was the first battle between the Liang army and the Xia army and the Zheng army! Although he only had less than 8,000 men under his command, he had such a result when he counted the elements of sneak attacks! But Zhu Muwu was not so satisfied, he remembered that when he left Luoyang, Wan He told him that he wanted a big victory in this battle! Immediately, Zhu Muwu shouted angrily, and the horse rushed to the front, brandishing a silver gun and shouting: "Rush! Don't let them run away! ”
After all, most of the retreating Xia troops were infantry, how could two legs outrun four legs? Zhu Muwu chased after him in one breath, although he was alone, but Zhu Muwu would not be soft at all when dealing with these defeated troops who fled in a hurry! I saw Zhu Muwu holding the silver spear on his chest, but it was the horse that trampled directly towards the Xia soldiers in front! Many Xia soldiers were either knocked over by their horses, or they died under the hooves of their horses, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, they were directly overwhelmed by the soldiers of the Liang Army who rushed from behind!
In one breath, he rushed into the Xia army's military formation, Zhu Muwu began to kill, only to see that the silver spear in his hand was wielding very fast, and almost every shot was stabbed, it was bound to take the life of a Xia army soldier! In the blink of an eye, there were fifty or sixty Xia soldiers who died under Zhu Muwu's gun! Zhu Muwu's silver armor was also instantly dyed red by the enemy's blood!
When many Xia soldiers around Zhu Muwu saw this scene, some of them were bold, so they simply gritted their teeth and launched an attack on Zhu Muwu. It's a pity that none of them are Zhu Muwu's opponents, and they died tragically under Zhu Muwu's silver spear in the end! The 8,000 Liang army, under the leadership of Zhu Muwu, slaughtered the Xia army with a one-sided advantage! Zhu Muwu became more and more brave the more he killed, and he was so happy that he even roared excitedly while killing!
And ahead, Cao Dan, who was the first to turn around and escape, was also a little calmer at the moment, but he was startled by Zhu Muwu's roar, and when he looked back, he happened to see the scene of Zhu Muwu's bloody battle not far away! It looked like a demon god was slaughtering! Suddenly, Cao Dan felt that all the pieces of his back were soaked with sweat, and his face was pale with fright, without saying a word, he threw up the reins and continued to rush forward! But before the mount could take two steps, it suddenly stumbled, and the mount seemed to have tripped over something, and fell directly! And Cao Dan didn't notice it for a while, and he was directly lifted high by the mount!
Cao Dan, who flew into the air, could just be condescending and see the battle between the two armies behind him! At this time, Cao Dan realized that it seemed that the number of enemies behind him was not as many as his own soldiers and horses! Cao Dan, who discovered this scene, also forgot about his situation for a while, and couldn't help laughing, if he can turn defeat into victory, can he also become a famous general?
"Back to the ......" But just when Cao Dan was about to open his mouth to give an order, he only had time to pop out of his mouth, and Cao Dan had already fallen heavily on the ground, just on a raised stone, and suddenly, Cao Dan's head was hit and bloomed, and all the red and white spewed out from the big hole in the top of his head! It's just that Cao Dan still has a smile on his face, as if he saw his majestic appearance when he became a general!
And with Cao Dan's fall to death, the Xia army's military array was even more chaotic, where could those Xia army soldiers still care about resisting, they just scattered in a hurry and fled! This pursuit and slaughter lasted for more than two hours! Of the 10,000 Xia troops, in the end, less than 2,000 people were left to escape! The first battle between Wanhe, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande ended with a big victory for Wanhe!
