Chapter 165: Burning Guo Ci

"Who was that guy just now?"

In the convoy of civil and military officials, in a very elegantly decorated carriage, two old men with white hair looked at the empty Hangu Pass through the window, and one of the old men frowned and asked.

The old man is the Han Situ Wang Yun, and the other person is Yang Biao.

"It seems to be the kid of the Han family...... Yang Biao has a little contact with the Han family, and he has also seen Han Fei, and after a year, he always feels that the figure on the close is very familiar, although it is far away.

Wang Yun's expression shook slightly, "You mean, that kid from Han Fu's family, Han Fei?" ”

Yang Biao nodded and said, "I just heard the Dong thief shouting 'General Han' from afar, I think there are not many generals surnamed Han in my Han Dynasty, and the one who can make the Dong thief so jealous is probably the kid of the Han family." ”

"In this case, I'm afraid it's really that kid." Wang Yun nodded, agreed with Yang Biao's guess, and then frowned, "But why didn't that kid come to save the Son of Heaven?" ”

Yang Biao was slightly stunned, "Maybe he didn't know that the Son of Heaven was also driving......"

"It can only be like this....... hey, poor my big man, there are so many fates, if the Han family kid can ......"

……

Liu Bei wants to build an immortal achievement!

Especially after knowing that the Son of Heaven was kidnapped by Dong Zhuo and went to Chang'an.

"If you can save the Son of Heaven by luck, the credit of you and my brother will be greater than the sky, and in the future, the Han Dynasty will be the place where we wait, even if Yuan Shao is compared to my brothers, it is far inferior! Therefore, this time, even if you do everything in your hands, as long as you can save the Son of Heaven. That's worth it too! Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

How could he not know that with 1,500 people against Dong Zhuo, tens of thousands. is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, trying to save the Son of Heaven from getting out, ten percent of them are afraid that they will not even have one percent hope.

But, wealth is in danger!

Thinking of him Liu Bei, he is thirty-four years old, and in this thirty-year, he is no longer young. But until now, after running for half a life, it has ......

I thought that this time I would ask for Dong. can borrow the courage of two brothers to kill the enemy and establish meritorious deeds, in order to have a chance to get ahead. Can......

The ideal is very rich. But the reality is too skinny.

He had to fight, he didn't have much youth to squander......

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also agreed with Liu Bei's words, after several years, these two people also know that if they want to get ahead, ordinary feats are not enough at all, just take the Yellow Turban Rebellion as an example. Their achievements are not too small, but in the end. Only Liu Bei got a small county order.

Gradually, they understood that the credit was small, and it would only be covered up by people at will.

What about saving the Son of Heaven?

They are not lonely, and Gongsun Chan sent Zhao Yun to bring five hundred people, maybe he remembered the love of his classmates back then, or maybe Gongsun Chan saved a little luck, if he can make meritorious contributions, then he will get a piece of the pie......

Then he joined forces with Zhao Yun, counting the five hundred people brought by Zhao Yun, a total of 1,500 people, followed the direction of Dong Zhuo's retreat, and chased them all the way.

After half a day's march, the 1,500 men and horses of the Liu-Zhao coalition army were only thirty miles away from Hangu Pass, and Liu Bei saw that the soldiers were already tired, so he decided to slow down his advance.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust rose in the direction of Luoshui in the distance, and the earth trembled, what is this?

"Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the Dong thief! Quickly line up to meet the enemy! Zhao Yun, who was born in Bai Ma Yi, was shocked, and his face suddenly became ugly, looking at this situation, there are a lot of cavalry on the other side!

The cavalry in the hands of the Kwantung princes is very limited, and those who can take out so many cavalry at once, I am afraid that only Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it is close to Hangu Pass, who can it be if it is not Dong Zhuo's people?

"Meet the enemy!" Liu Bei's face also became ugly.

Soon confirmed Zhao Yun's thoughts, Zhang Fei, who had opened the road in front, ran over quickly, stayed in front, and said busily: "Big brother, the big thing is not good, there is an army of Xingyang Taishou Xu Rong in front of him, and he reported that he has 3,000 cavalry and 50 million infantry troops, a total of 8,000 men and horses!" Our army is tired from afar, but how can it be deserved? ”

"What? So much? Liu Bei's face became even more ugly, and he fell into deep thought when he heard the news, how can this be good.

Escape? As soon as the army escaped, the heart was scattered, and the enemy army had 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and most of his troops were infantry troops, how could he run?

No physiology!

Only to die and war! is a good Liu Bei, worthy of being a person who can divide the world, his face instantly returned to normal, and he shouted steadily: "What a panic, it's just eight thousand thousand people, what's the big deal!" Dong Zhuo's army of hundreds of thousands, I, Liu Bei, still dare to chase and kill, why are I afraid of this little bit of people? Gather troops in one place, wait for battle, and fight to the death! ”

"Yes! Fight to the death! Zhang Fei's face was tense, his face was resolute, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty and belligerent madness.

"Fight to the death!" The sergeants were also infected by the arrogance of the commander, calmly set up a formation, and waited for the battle one by one.

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei with appreciation, this person is extraordinary! My lord is better than him! If you don't die today, you will be cast into his account!

Seeing that Liu Bei's generals commanded the sergeants in an orderly manner, he said sincerely: "All the generals under General Liu's account are all talented, and the clouds are not as good." ”

"Zilong, now is not the time to sigh, if you don't die today, it doesn't hurt to talk to you for three days and nights! The soldiers of Zilong's department are not familiar with the combat methods of our army, and easy joining may disrupt the formation of our army, but our soldiers are few and the rear garrison is insufficient, so they can only annoy Zilong. ”

"General Liu has words, but please command, Yun has no reason to obey! If there is a future, Yun Ding and General Liu will talk about wine! After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Bei to speak, and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to the rear army.

"Shield soldier raises shield!" Liu Bei shouted loudly. The shield soldier in the front row slammed the half-human-high shield to the ground, the sharp bottom inserted into the earth, and then the shield soldier squatted down and resisted the shield with a sword in his hand.

"Spearmen forward, spears raised!" Liu Beijun's pikemen stepped forward and put the spear that was originally on his shoulder on the gap in the shield, and the tail of the spear was inserted into the ground, and he also squatted down and pressed the spear.

"Archers come forward, ready to shoot!" Liu Beijun's archers behind the shield soldiers and pikemen also entered the formation with the order. Draw your bow and wait for the order to shoot.

Similarly, Guan Yu of the Left Army and Zhang Fei of the Right Army also reacted in the same way. Zhao Yun of the rear army also arranged his own men and horses, and 1,500 soldiers formed a tight formation, quietly waiting for the opposite army to reveal its true face.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the army on the opposite side revealed its true face.

"The cavalry is the cavalry of Xiliang."

In an instant, the overwhelming momentum of the Xiliang cavalry caused a commotion in Liu Bei's army, which had only a short training time.

"Calm down! Stabilization! Soldiers, lean tighter. Prepare for battle. Liu Bei shouted loudly.

But what's the use of being calm, cavalry. In ancient times, it was the natural enemy of the infantry (except for the perverts who trapped the camp), not to mention these Liu Beijun, but they had just been recruited for more than a year, although the training was sufficient. But the battle formation did not pass. It is a great luck that the formation is not chaotic, but the overwhelming momentum has robbed Liu Beijun of his fighting spirit.

"Hold on! Only by resisting can there be hope of survival! Liu Bei saw that the soldiers had no heart to fight, so he was not in a hurry, and roared with all his might.

Not as good as most of the princes of the coalition army, Liu Bei went through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he was a person who really went through the battle formation, and he was not inferior when he commanded the army. At this moment, he knew what was most important.

Bear? This word shook Liu Beijun's heartstrings. yes, we're going to survive!

The low morale has somewhat recovered, but is it useful?

"Boom!" With only one charge, Liu Beijun's formation was scattered by the galloping cavalry, with countless casualties. Liu Bei of the Chinese army couldn't help but close his eyes, and said in his heart: It's over!

The military defense line was easily torn apart by the Xiliang cavalry like a flood like a broken embankment, and then rushed towards Liu Bei's Chinese army. At this time, the Xiliang cavalry looked at the banner embroidered with the word "Liu" on the Chinese army, just like the cat that smelled fishy, and clung to Liu Beijun's weak Chinese army, rushing violently, sweeping everything like a splashing wind.

Seeing such a scene, Zhao Yun shouted miserably: "General Liu, the general trend has gone, go quickly!" Hurry up! ”

"God, do you really want to decide on me Liu Bei and this......" Looking at the surging Xiliang Iron Horse, Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, looking lonely.

……

After a lot of hard work, the soldiers finally picked up all the obstacles at the city gate and opened the city gate to welcome Dong Zhuo into the pass, when it was approaching dusk.

"Father-in-law, it's getting late, why don't you rest in this Hanguguan for one night, and then rush to Chang'an early tomorrow morning?" Li Ru saw that the army was marching all the way, and there were many tired people. He also carried hundreds of officials and wealthy people, etc., and he was even more miserable, seeing that the sky was already dark, so he urged the horse to come to Dong Zhuo's carriage and suggested.

"Virtuous son-in-law, in such a situation, how can you tell me to be locked up in this Hangu? The army of princes followed behind, and if you are not careful, you may be killed by it. If I don't go to Chang'an for a day, I can't let go of my heart for a day! Hurry and don't delay. "Dong Zhuojing was defeated by Lu Bu before, and now there is a scene of Han Fei, he has already become a frightened bird, how dare he rest here!

Li Ru twisted his mustache, a smile flashed between his eyebrows, I am afraid that he had long forgotten the humiliation of being tricked, "Father-in-law, here is the danger of the pass, the weight of the army, why are you afraid of his princes?" Could it be that the father-in-law is afraid that there will be a mole? Suddenly remembered that the previous treasure matter was known to Han Fei, so he said.

Dong Zhuo shuddered, yes, how did I forget this stubble! said ruthlessly: "That's right, I don't want to lose my head in my sleep, or be sacrificed to the pass, and be captured!" Hurry to Chang'an overnight, and set off immediately! He ordered Guo Yan to lead an army of 20,000 and guard Hangu Pass to intercept the princes. ”

Not to show that Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an overnight, just said that Guo Yan, since Dong Zhuo's general order, did not dare to slack off, took care of the affairs in the pass, rectified everything, after some hard work, the already tired body of the sergeant could no longer support it, in desperation, Guo Yan had to send more than 1,000 sergeants to guard the direction of the princes, return to the tent by himself, and sleep with his armor.

Hanguguan was very quiet today, so quiet that only the snoring of the army could be heard. The sergeants were too tired, the rapid march was already hard, and the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat in the tiger prison spread, Dong Zhuo fled west to avoid the battle, how could his mood be depressed? Mentally tired, one by one fell into a deep sleep, very sweet. Even the more than 1,000 sergeants who were in charge of guarding the gate nodded and saluted again and again.

However, at the time of the second watch, when Guo Yan's army was all indulged in a sweet dream, from the corners of the four directions of the pass, four people came out one after another, all wearing the clothes of Dong Zhuo's army, carrying some things in their hands, and sneakily came to the vicinity of the two city gates and the other two directions, as if they knew the terrain very well. Along the way, they found a place full of weeds, and splashed the things in their hands along the road. If you look closely at their feet, there are mostly scattered firewood and grass. When the things in their hands were splashed clean, the four of them took out an object from their arms one after another, and shook it in the wind, but a little spark flashed, which was actually a fire breaker! The four of them carefully made the fire bigger. Without hesitation, he threw the fire fold onto the road where he had just spilled something, and in an instant. The flames were everywhere, and it turned out that the things that were spilled just now were flammable items such as fire oil!

Seeing that the fire had risen, the four of them fled in all directions.

It turned out that Han Fei was leaving. But considering that Dong Zhuo must be stationed here. To resist the coalition army, after all, this is the barrier to the east of Chang'an, and it cannot be abandoned, so before it leaves, he made a plan to order the soldiers to pick up all the haystacks and other things in the city, spread them along the street, and leave four soldiers. Wearing Dong Zhuojun's military uniform, he carried something that ignited the fire. Hiding in a dark place in the Quartet, agreeing on the second watch, set fire to the pass. Guo Yan's army is tired from afar, not to mention that the army of the princes is far away in the direction of Luoyang, of course he doesn't doubt it, he is too lazy to clean up, how can he think of today's disaster!

It was winter, the weather was dry and dry, and most of the passes were flammable, and Huang Xiao made arrangements early, for a while, the fire was soaring, and the garrison soldiers at the juncture were naturally able to see it, and they were busy shouting "Go to the water!" Walk the water! ”

But how do you know that the army is so much trapped and asleep, and how can a few voices wake them up from their dreams! More than 1,000 garrison soldiers tried to extinguish the flames while sending people to and from Guo Yan's tent.

The fire got up early, but how could it be saved! Along the road, most of them were poured with fire oil and other things by Han Fei's sergeants, which burned when they caught fire, and even more firewood and grass scattered everywhere, when Guo Yan was called by the soldiers, the fire had spread to the entire pass, and there was no possibility of saving!

"Hurry up and get on your horse and rush out of the city with General Ben!" Guo Yan saw that the fire was no longer controllable, and he had led the troops for many years, so he naturally knew what to abandon and what not to abandon. There is no possibility of Hangu Pass being saved, and if you don't run for your life, I'm afraid that your 50,000 army will have to be explained here!

Guo Yan's war horse was tied to the outside of the tent, and after speaking, he jumped in front of the war horse, stepped on the horse, the gun was in his left hand, his right hand was in the air, and he slapped the horse on the head: "Evil obstacles, go quickly!" ”

I only heard the neighing of the war horse and took a step forward. Guo Yan was angry and said: I lost my calculation and lost the battle, but the horse was also naughty, neighed, and only took one step. Guo Yan raised his hand and slapped it again: "Evil obstacles, go quickly!" ”

The horse was in pain, neighed again, and took another step forward. Guo Yan thought to himself: It's bad, I slapped him twice in a row, but he only took two steps. Guo Yan's horse is a Xiliang BMW, which was given by Dong Zhuo, don't say that you hit it, it usually encounters danger in the line of fire, and it can carry its owner out of danger quickly. I slapped two times today, but it didn't leave, why is that?

When his subordinates saw it, they hurriedly reminded: "Ahem! General, you haven't untied the reins, so you can't run away even if you kill your horse? ”

Guo Yan took a look, it was really good, the reins were still buckled on the pile!

"Ahh Why is my horse's head missing? ”

Guo Yan hurriedly looked at it when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Wang Fang, but he was even more unbearable than himself! "General Wang, you rode the other way around!"

It's actually holding the horse's ass as the horse's head! The fire disturbs people's hearts, this is not false at all.

Guo Yan panicked, waved his sword and cut off the reins, Wang Fang also turned around from the horse, led the army to look at the west gate and hurried away, and when the army marched to the city gate, he saw that it was already a fire, how could he still see the city gate!

At this time, I heard a person outside the city shouting, "Dong Zhuo's army in the city listens, on the order of my lord Han Fei, I will send you to wait for a barbecue banquet, and you will enjoy it slowly, we will not pay compensation!" Haha......"

Han fei?

It's him again! Guo Yan hates!

How vicious is this Han Fei'er, there is also a living gate in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, but he is good, he will set up all the city gates, won't our army be burned to death in the city?

Alas! If you wait to be burned to death, it is not as good as this! Guo Yan thought about it, handed the gun to his left hand, and his right hand was freed, "Hey! With a long sigh, he drew his sword out of his hand, and as soon as he put it around his neck, he was about to kill himself.

I'd rather kill myself, Guo Xi doesn't want to burn the fire alive!

Seeing this, Wang Fang next to him hurriedly grabbed Guo Yan's arm, "The general can't!" Dying like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed at by Han Fei, General! ”

"General Wang, how can you not know, looking at such a fire, I will be burned here sooner or later, like this, it is better to commit suicide, don't stop me!" Guo Yan's face was sad, and he said miserably.

"General. Fang still remembers this road to the city wall, if we can rush up and go down the city wall. It is not known whether there is a glimmer of life! Wang Fang persuaded bitterly.

"With such a fire, I have no reason to rush to the city wall!"

"The general can drench his body with water, or it is feasible, but there is no other way! If so, maybe there will be a glimmer of life, General. Without further ado! ”

"So, as General Wang said, all the soldiers. Go get water! Guo Yan seems to have seen a glimmer of life, if he can live, who wants to die? Hurriedly commanded.

After a short time, the sergeant brought water. Guo Yan took it. Drenched his body up and down, and all the sergeants under his command did the same. Looking at the fire in front of him, Guo Yan's face was hideous, "All the sergeants, rush!" Rush over and survive! ”

Which one is not greedy for life, hearing that rushing over can survive, and then looking at the fire, it seems. It's not so terrifying, all the sergeants rushed over one by one in the fire! However, the fire was merciless. The man who rushed into the fire fell like a moth to a flame, one fell and the other fell......

Guo Yan couldn't take care of it anymore, and urged the BMW to resolutely rush into the fire.

But how much water can a centaur have on it? The fire was monstrous, and in an instant, the water on the war horse's body was steamed dry by the fire, and the hair suddenly burned, and the war horse was in pain, and ran like a desperate person, far faster than before.

It's close!

Guo Yan looked at the city wall that appeared in his sight, and his heart was overjoyed. The war horse under the crotch does not need to be urged by the master at all, when he sees the road in his eyes, he runs regardless of the look, and when he reaches the city, he can no longer hold his hooves, perhaps the war horse has not considered collecting his hooves at all, and the hair on the horse's body has been burned, and the air is filled with a trace of the smell of meat.

The war horse rose into the air, jumped out of a distance of more than a zhang, and fell in the air. Guo Yan's eyes closed, life and death are done again!

"Plop!"

War horses landed!

"Hiss......"

There was a scream of a war horse in his ears, but it fell from a high altitude and his leg bones were broken!

Guo Yan fell down on horseback, rolled on the spot, extinguished the flames on his body, and then stood up, tidied up his clothes, and calmed down his emotions, only then did he feel a burst of pain on his face, and hurriedly reached out to touch it, but it was his beard, his eyebrows were burned clean by the fire, and he had burned to the skin, Guo Yan grinned in pain, "hiss, hiss......" gasp.

At this moment, another shadow flashed out from the close, "Plop! "Fell not far from Guo Yan. Guo Yan hurriedly greeted him, helped him up, and took a closer look, it was Wang Fang!

"General Wang, how are you?" Guo Yan asked with concern while helping Wang Fang extinguish the flames on his body.

"It's not in the way, Fang can still hold on, but ......" Wang Fang's face was gloomy.

"But what?" Guo Yan seemed to think of it, and the movements in his hands stopped.

"An army of 20,000, I'm afraid....... I'm afraid that there are only two people left, Fang and the general......" Wang Fang's words were miserable, and his expression was very lonely.

Guo Yan's eyes widened, although he had expected it, but when he heard Wang Fang say this, he was completely desperate, his godless eyes stared at the city head that was engulfed in flames, and his body involuntarily retreated backwards, "Plop!" He fell to the ground, and there was no sparkle in his eyes.

"How could it be, how could it be! That's an army of 20,000! That's it, just like that...... Vomit! ”

In the air, a rich aroma of barbecue meat spread to the end of the nose along the fire and breeze, and Wang Fang and Guo Xi instantly realized where the smell came from, and their stomachs couldn't help churning and vomiting.

"Han Fei! Han Fei'er, I'm Guo Xi'......"

……

It was close to Luoyang, and on a hillside not far away, nearly thirty people were resting quietly.

"Lord, look, there seems to be a fire in the direction of Hangu Pass!" Dian Wei jumped up suddenly, only to see that the sky in the distance was bright, remembering the previous arrangement of the lord, his big head understood a little, and said to Han Fei.

"Oh?" Han Fei turned his head to look, "It's really burning, I thought that Dong Zhuojun had the existence of Li Ru, and he would see through my not very mature strategy, it turns out that this Li Ru is just like this, but it is a little unworthy of the name!" I don't know how many tens of thousands of Dong Zhuo's army will be left. ”

Han Fei was wrong to blame Li Ru, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to become a frightened bird early, and he didn't stop at Hangu Pass at all, and rushed to Chang'an overnight, leaving only Guo Yan to guard. Unexpectedly, he burned Guo Yan's 20,000 troops with a fire and burned them to a pulp. would not have thought that a fire would burn out his prestige, and when Dong Zhuo's army heard his name as Han Fei, he was terrified! (To be continued......)
