Chapter 153: Alliance Leader's Summoning Order
Yuan Benchu was defeated in the first battle, and the losses were nearly 40,000 soldiers, of which 10,000 were directly beheaded, and the rest were all seriously injured and died, and what is even more shameful is that many of them died on the way to escape and were trampled to death by their own people!
The shame is about to be thrown to grandma's house! If Zhang Yang hadn't defended himself at the last moment, I was afraid that this Liuyang Leader would have become someone else's wine glass! Yuan Shao was angry in his heart, his good cultivation made him suppress, he took all the responsibility on himself, and he didn't blame anyone; As a leader, but also as a general commanding a war, everyone knows the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but I still made this unforgivable mistake!
It is precisely because of this mistake that tens of thousands of colleagues died, all of which are the dereliction of duty of my Yuan Benchu, and everyone who is incapable of being affected by my Yuan Benchu! I am ashamed of you, and even more so of my dead brethren! It's my incompetence!
It's just that I'm unwilling! We will join the alliance to fight the thieves, just to get rid of the national thieves, clear the world, and return the Han to a bright future! Now, the thief's arrogance is becoming more and more arrogant, but I can't do anything, and I sincerely beg you to help me! Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!
In front of more than 100,000 remnants of the defeated generals, Yuan Shao gave up the reputation he had always valued, deeply reviewed his mistakes, took all the blame for his own crimes, and even went to the altar to worship the soldiers of the alliance army who died in battle; The allies were infected, and many people were moved by Yuan Shao's righteousness, don't doubt that they are not putting on a show, there are really many people who serve the country, even if their cultural level is not high, they still know how to serve the country loyally!
Defeated in the first battle, Yuan Shao was much more cautious, set up camp tightly, and could not hold out, Lu Bu's troops were too strong, he could only temporarily avoid the edge in order to make a preemptive attack, which was also a last resort, after the defeat, the army was unstable, and rash attacks would only hurt more injuries; Guo Tu came back, brought Yuan Shu 50,000 war horses and the conditions of the Zhen family's business group, promised not to participate in the competition for the position of the head of the Yuan family, and supported Yuan Shao to become the head of the family, this news is the only thing that can comfort Yuan Shao; No matter how precious the Zhen caravan is, it can't compare to the name of the head of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao can kick it away, but 50,000 war horses are a little difficult, just a little difficult, 50,000 war horses are nothing to Yuan Benchu, who is friendly with Xianbei, Wuhuan and other nomads outside the Saiwai; The changes brought by Guo Tu's return not only made the haze in Yuan Ben's heart dissipate a lot, but he also made a suggestion to gather the princes of the Eighteenth Route together to punish Lu Bu, Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's most powerful general, and he is also his righteous son, so a strange slogan was shouted out - punish Dong Zhuoyi, just break Lu Bu!
I really don't know where he put the four great generals of Xiliang who are still above Lu Bu! Li Dao was defeated, but his military literacy, tenacious struggle, and tenacious and fierce surname were not comparable to ordinary people; Hu Zhen, this jackal-like cunning guy even planted a big heel in his hands with the Jiangdong Tiger, Yuan Shu and the others only confronted him, and did not take the initiative to attack, that is, he was afraid that he would seize the opportunity and be defeated with one blow; The white horse general who often hunted outside and chased the fierce nomads, and the white horse general who beat them with rats, and the fierce general Ma Teng who provoked the Xiliang rebellion successively, why didn't they dare to move? Just constantly tempting? Isn't Xu Rong's existence yet?
Guo Yan, a character with the same name as the other three, even if he is worse than these three, who dares to underestimate it? In addition, Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, etc., in the Xiliang Army, and even Li Su, who is very hidden, these heroes and heroes are all dry meals?
Guo Tu himself was the one who suggested that the alliance army act together and crush the army to achieve victory over Dong Zhuo, especially when he thought that when destroying Dong Zhuo, it was necessary to preserve his strength and consume the strength of other princes; The princes of the Thirty Roads are competing in the world, each has their own strengths, everyone has their own ideas and ways of doing things, Guo Tu is not wrong to think so, and he has made a great contribution to the position of the head of the Yuan family for Yuan Shao this time, and the Lord of the Yuan League decided to appoint his opinion and convene the princes from all walks of life to come to the Tiger Prison Pass to crusade against Lu Bu; Yuan Benchu's surname is exposed, probably because he adopts opinions based on his preferences, rather than learning from others and listening patiently to opinions, he prefers those opinions and suggestions that meet his appetite are very bad habits; Yuan Shao's order was quickly passed out, and the attacking troops of Bishui Pass, which were forty or fifty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, were the first to get the news: "Dese!" This is Li Kai's reaction when he saw this order, full of disgust; I estimate that Yuan Mengzhu suffered a big loss from Lu Bu, otherwise he wouldn't have eagerly summoned us to go back, and the order will be changed every day! The promised five-way march was declared to be broken after only ten days. ", the drama is staggering;" Can Hu Wen let us go? He seems to be in a hurry, seeking us for a decisive battle for two days in a row, and I don't know what the hell he has in mind! When we go to Bishui Pass, we have to consider whether he will make an appointment with Lu Bu and attack us dangerously! Li Mouren sighed; Xi Zhicai pursed his mouth: "Tsk——! It's really not easy to do, but he's the leader of the Alliance Army! Everyone knows that if we don't listen to the orders of the leader of the alliance, the alliance will fall apart, and the person who does not obey the order will be blamed by the whole world."
"Huh? How about it as if we were like this? Li's eyes rolled, muttered quietly, and occasionally let out a few deceitful laughs, which was creepy; Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Wonderful! It's just wonderful! So talented! Two like-minded friends should be confidants and friends who have a good heart and a little bit to celebrate together; In the breezy afternoon, the sun is shining, everything recovers in early spring, and everywhere shows a vibrant scene, but Hu Zhen on the Bishui Pass is not happy at all, he is trying to think, which one is this singing by the Kwantung Coalition Army?
From the morning to now, the third wave of soldiers and horses has swaggered towards the east from their eyes, and it is clear to you that Lao Tzu will not play with you anymore, and we will go to the Tiger Prison Pass to find the leader of Yuan Dameng; Hu Zhen couldn't be sure, was the alliance army luring him out of the pass to face the battle, or secretly crossing Chen Cang on the Ming Xiu plank road, if he responded to the battle at this time, would they set up an ambush outside? Will it take the opportunity to rush through? It's hard to say!
Dong Xiangguo's order was to end the battle as soon as possible and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to standby, he had also been seeking a decisive battle with the Alliance Army, and the Alliance Army had no birds, so he hung him out for two days, but now it was unusual, but he hesitated; "General! Another wave of the Kwantung Army has passed! It's dusty, and there seem to be quite a few people! The sentinels also reported that their camp had fallen silent, but the tents were still there, and the grain and grass were gone! Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped on the wall and whispered; Is the grain and grass gone? Troops now! They wanted to slip away, and they had been lying to me before! Hu Wencai immediately made a decision, ordered 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and went out of the pass! fiercely pounced on the Kwantung Army in the distance; "Ahem, ahem, damn it, this smoke is a little too big!" , Li covered his mouth and nose, and each of the cavalrymen beside him dragged a branch, creating the illusion of thick smoke and numerous soldiers and horses; This is the fourth time that Hu Wencai has passed under his nose, and these four marches are all caused by a wave of cavalry of 5,000 people, which means that this is just a ploy, a ploy to lure Hu Wencai out of the pass!
"Sir! Bishui Pass has sent troops! That's 30,000 horses! Aggressive! ", Yu Shi quickly came to report that this Runan Xiao general is now acting as a guard next to Li, and has been seeking his life goal;" Hahaha", Li Kai laughed loudly, and inevitably ate a mouthful of dust: "Bah! Well done! Speed up! Throw a few armor weapons in the back, don't concentrate, just scatter! ”
The speed of the Allied forces is getting faster and faster, and occasionally there are a few pieces of armor, helmets, and weapons. In addition, there are broken carts and a few packets of grain on it, giving people a feeling of embarrassment in a rapid march, and it is the kind of performance after discovering the enemy; the Xiliang army maneuvered very fast, Hu Wencai cut a bag of grain on the horse, all of them are good corn, these few packets of grain are enough for a thousand people to eat, if time is not tight, no one will easily abandon these precious grains, especially those who have felt the famine during the Yellow Turban Rebellion; Hu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Speed up again!" Huaxiong! Lead 5,000 troops, go to the right side, and be afraid of accidents if you are one mile behind! It's better to be cautious! Charge the whole army! Destroy those rats in Kanto! ”
"Aren't I ready for this guy yet? Come on! Wait a little longer and I'll die! Xiliang Tieqi was not far behind him, and Li could see their hideous faces clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered; In the rapid running, the alliance army rushed into a forest, and Hu Wencai also felt that something was wrong! Traces on the ground! Not horseshoe prints! It's like something has been swept away!
Looking at Li Mou, who was running over in embarrassment, Xi Zhicai secretly laughed twice, probably because the branches were too dense, the hair crown on his head was knocked off, and the appearance of the cloak was very funny, even the young master Yuan didn't have the heart to joke: "Filial piety, you are?" ”
Li Kai rolled his eyes, what does it mean to be unladylike? That's it! "Let's do it! Hu Wencai found out that something was wrong! ”
"Uh-huh!" , Xi Zhicai nodded, and ordered the people next to him to beat the war drums, and the war drums hit the war drums nine times, and then the rhythm was getting faster and faster like rain hitting the plantains, and the alliance army also took action!
"Whoosh", the sky was full of feather arrows pouring down, and the Xiliang army was ambushed, they were now in the middle of the two woods, and in the two woods ambushed by Sun Wentai's generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai led 30,000 crossbowmen!
Don't say anything, it's all tears! Zhang Xiu roared: "Brothers! It's time to serve the prime minister, and those who are not afraid of death will rush with me", before the word Ah was shouted, Zhang Xiu was kicked back by Hu Wencai; "What the fuck is it? They were in a premeditated ambush! Evacuate! It's useless to talk less! Hu Zhen shouted: "Withdraw the troops!" Rush out! ”
It's not that it's commendable if it's not afraid of death, it's also an important manifestation of a person's inner strength, Hu Wencai is undoubtedly a big husband, proud and not arrogant at the same time, and he doesn't want to die while not being afraid of death.
Hu Zhen has fought many tough battles, won many battles, and also fought many defeats, but he has to admit that this is the most depressing battle he has ever fought Li Xiaoxian, this grandson is really too bad! Are you fucking playing like this again?
The road to the return of the Xiliang army was blocked, blocked by the fire caused by the dry trees, in this place where there are woods on both sides, it is really a piece of cake to get some wood, so the Xiliang army only has one choice, drill the woods, and there are fires at both ends of the road!
"Shoot them!" , Behind the fire, I can faintly hear someone whistling, Han Dang and Zu Mao, the two masters, have also been depressed for a long time, and now they have the opportunity to take revenge on the shame, how can they not cherish it? They also led 30,000 crossbowmen to shoot to the death!
The best way to deal with cavalry is to bow and arrow, but the speed of the cavalry is destined to be very poor in the surname of the bow and arrow, and this time, after designing the terrain and besieging the Xiliang army in one place, these crossbowmen can rely on the barrier that the cavalry cannot cross, and scatter the shots of the horses; "Whoosh", "Ahhhh Hu Zhen's eyes are blood-red and irritable! Rushing into the woods? To go in or not to go in? There are many taboos in cavalry combat, which is called the forbidden and dead place, as for how many people have not sorted it out, but it is known that cavalry is very taboo to fight in the woods, especially in the low bushes full of thorns; In the era when war horses were not shoeed, the wear and tear of war horses was very huge, and many horses could not continue to gallop on the field because of damage to the horses' hooves, and there were too many things in the woods that could hurt them; A few years ago, Zhang Xiu fought with Huang Gai and Cheng Pu in the woods, and seemed to have the upper hand, because that forest was different from this one, that forest was a tall poplar forest, the ground was flat, only some weeds, and these two woods were crooked elms and unknown shrubs; To go in is to die! If you don't enter, you will die, and you will die even more, Hu Wencai gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Fight with them!" Do it alive or die! Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is still a good man! Who will live and die with me, brethren? ”
Exciting words can always resonate, Xiliang people never lack blood and pride "war!" War! War! Victory", at this time, they still believe that they can still win!
Located on the hillside behind this grove, is where the head of the Alliance Army is located, Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Kong Rong and Qiao Mao are all there, they are at best a spectator, especially the two brothers of the Kong family, who are purely moaning without illness, and still want to make a fu; In front of them was Xi Zhicai, who was in charge of dispatching and commanding: "The Xiliang Army is rising!" He muttered to himself, his arm for a while, the sound of the war drums changed again, replaced by two heavy and one light sound, the entire alliance army outside the Bishui Pass has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to the 60,000 crossbowmen responsible for archery, there are still 40,000 people who have not moved!
Sun Wentai was impatient to wait, sitting on a high-headed horse, the ancient ingot knife slashed at the trunk, a hundred-year-old tree was almost killed by him, and the sudden sound of the drum made his movements pause, and the original anxious mood was immediately sunny!
"Sons! It's work! Follow me! Kill Hu Zhen, the thief! With a loud roar, Sun Wentai was extremely excited, and rushed out first, followed by his eldest son Sun Ce Xiao Zhengtai, Xiao Zhengtai hurriedly stepped forward to grab Sun Jian's war horse: "Father! We're not in charge of the charge! ”
Sun Jian turned around and looked, the soldiers were looking at him again with a stupid look, depressed in their hearts, and said, "Got it"
He was indeed not responsible for charging into battle, but when the Xiliang Army decided to march into the woods, he attacked it, and used the way to place the horses and arrange the hook and lock, all of which were the work of taking local materials; Tie the hemp rope to the trunk of the tree and connect it together, it is estimated that the war horse can not avoid this multi-level tripping rope even if it is a kangaroo, who has ever seen the kind of war horse that can jump and jump non-stop? Coupled with the tall rejection of the horse, Hu Zhen's road to break through to the west was blocked!
The road on the west side is impassable, in the same way, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Huang Zhong on the east side to stumble on them, Hu Zhen also thought of it, so when rushing to the woods to no avail, he decided to rush to the sea of fire! Rush out of a path alive!
Whether the war horses are willing or not, these warriors who can't speak must risk their lives to rush into the sea of fire to break out a way for the Xiliang army to survive! Otherwise, the herd of animals behind them would have stabbed them in the ass with sharp knives; Xiliang people, love horses like life, maybe their comrades die they will only be silent for a while, and then what to do, they think it is fate, and the war horses are ruthlessly driven to the sea of fire, and they are burned by the fire and scream to death, they are heartbroken, and some people even cry!
"Where's Huaxiong?" , Li is not far from the battlefield, he didn't see the outrageously tall Kansai No. 1 warrior! Didn't Hu Zhen take him with him? It was Hu Zhen who ordered Hua Xiong to follow a mile behind him, and acted carefully in exchange for life!
"Boom", "Don't panic, Overseers!" Huaxiong is also coming! With the roar of the iron horse, the beast-like Hua Xiong killed a bloody road, he did not come out at the first time, but chose to forbear, knowing that he only came now! Killing the alliance army after the sea of fire in half, Hu Zhen's method also worked, opening the way, the two sides converged, and the Xiliang army was picked up!
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! What are you still doing? Cheng Pu roared loudly, and the alliance army suddenly realized that the bow and arrow in his hand is not a decoration, it is a sharp weapon to kill, what kind of weapon is it called if it can't kill? The Xiliang army was shot and killed countless times, but they still broke through and fled, leaving behind a corpse!
"The Xiliang army threw down at least more than 8,000 people, and we only lost more than 1,000 people, and this battle was a big victory!" , Young Master Yuan was very excited, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with him from tactics to command, but he was still very happy, because this was a strict and meticulous plan formulated by his subordinates, so that he could win; The victory of his subordinates is his victory, they are a glorious relationship, and Young Master Yuan also has a big long face in front of the princes, and he is full of praise for his right-hand man; The alliance army was victorious, Hu Zhen hit the street gorgeously, and his hair was burned a few strands, he looked up to the sky and roared, let out a bad breath, and then said: "Jianzhong! Go and see the movements of the Kwantung Army! Let's see if they get carried away! ”
Zhang Xiuhua came back after an hour to report: "Uncle! The Kwantung Army packed up its camp tent and really marched towards the Tiger Prison! You're right, they're very sloppy in their defenses right now, and they're probably still immersed in joy! ”
"Excellent! Who will go with me? Wash away your shame! Hu Wencai roared without looking back, beating his horse and rushing in the direction of the retreat of the alliance army!
He bet right, the defense of the alliance army is very lax, and many people get carried away after a big victory, Hu Zhen's return horse shot beautifully! If it weren't for Sun Wentai leading his elite troops to resist the division and penetration of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, buying time for the army, it is estimated that a big rout would not have been able to run; "People, you can't get carried away with your complacency! Hu Wencai taught us a good truth! The slanting sun shone on the distant Xiliang Iron Rider, and Li Kai, who sighed in his heart, said so; After all, the alliance army suffered a big loss, and there were not a few soldiers who lost it, and Hu Zhen did not have the strength to prevent the alliance army from driving to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the alliance army declared safety
Except for the alliance army outside Bishui Pass, which was hit by Hu Wencai, the rest of the people wanted to go back smoothly, it was really the same fate! In fact, the most depressed person is Cao Ying, if someone blocks him on his way back, he may be very happy!
It's a pity that he and Old Man Tao have been walking on the road until now, and they haven't even seen a ghost, they are like snails when they go, but when they come back, they are as fast as the wind, and Cao Mengde despises Tao Qian in his heart!
The Zhang brothers, who were busy building ships, probably never thought of attacking Luoyang City at all, the risk was too great, it was easy to be dumpled by Dong Zhuo's army, and they would never see the flowers of the world again, if they succeeded by luck, what should Yuan Shao do? Is this position of a great general really so easy to take?
Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, Han Fu and Wang Kuang and Xu Rong in the Xingyang area didn't see each other's flaws after a little fight for more than ten days, but Xu Rong saw that the relationship between them was not simple; Wang Kuang is that flaw, he is Yuan Shao's pawn planted in this force, Xu Rong had already planned to design a big fight with the alliance army, but when Yuan Shao's alliance leader order arrived, he could only hope that people would sigh, and each would perform his duties, he could not give up Xingyang to reinforcements without an order; It is unceremonious to say that Xingyang is the gateway of Luoyang City, and it seems that these places can directly reach Luoyang City, such as Bishui Pass, Tiger Prison Pass, Qiguan, and Yellow River Road, but in fact, otherwise, as long as Xingyang is broken through in terms of terrain, it is unhindered, and there is no barrier! Here's the top priority!
