Chapter Fifty-Five: The Battle of Bishui Pass (I)
Hu Zhen rode his horse and fled all the way, and asked the guards who were also embarrassed next to him several times, whether there were any pursuers chasing him, to make sure that the surrounding wind and waves were calm, Hu Zhen lay on the horse and gasped for breath.
It is worthy of the Jiangdong Tiger, fighting to sacrifice life and forget death, Hu Zhen sounded that fierce posture, the whole body couldn't help but tremble, after a while, from time to time there were remnants of the Xiliang Army fleeing towards this side, Hu Zhen waited in place, and gathered hundreds of remnants.
Suddenly, a person galloped in the distance, like a fiery red lightning galloping quickly, at this time the Xiliang army was already a frightened bird, a group of armor soldiers got up and wanted to escape, Hu Zhen shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers, look carefully, only to see that the person who came was Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu was not having a good time, he didn't know how many people he had killed in the previous rush, his whole body was covered in blood, and he looked a little tired, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch was also covered with dots of blood, which looked more and more charming.
Hu Zhen had already been killed by Sun Jian, and he already had a belly of fire in his stomach, seeing that the Bingzhou army sent Lu Bu to return alone, his anger suddenly ignited, and he stepped forward and asked coldly: "General Lu, where are your soldiers?" ”
"All the battles are fought to the death until the last moment, and they are all good!" Lu Bu wiped away the blood of the enemy soldiers that kept dripping from his forehead, picked up the kettle by the horse, and poured it on his face, suddenly refreshed, and the original rich blood finally faded a lot.
"Lu Bu, as a pioneer, what kind of crime should you be guilty of losing your soldiers!" Hu Zhen saw that Lu Bu didn't take his words seriously at all, how could Hu Zhen, as the commander, be calm, and couldn't help but reprimand.
Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he suddenly took out his saber and pointed it at Hu Zhen and said coldly: "If you dare to say more, I will definitely take your dog's head!" ”
Hu Zhen's eyes widened angrily, although he was protected by guards, but when he saw Lu Bu's murderous eyes, he didn't dare to say much for a while, and he was perfunctory.
Lu Bu sneered and turned over the horse, the red rabbit horse neighed, suddenly rushed out, galloped around Hu Zhen and the others several times, and then galloped away, Hu Zhen, who had eaten a pound of dust, couldn't help coughing, and covered his mouth and nose in embarrassment and scolded loudly, but unfortunately Lu Bu had already ridden away and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Hu Zhen scolded suddenly, he wanted to put all the responsibility for the defeat of the battle on Lu Bu, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to eat this set at all, and he didn't even care about him as a commander, Hu Zhen said coldly: "Set off immediately, the goal is Bishui Pass." ”
Nearly a thousand remnants of the Xiliang Army who had no morale slowly advanced, heading towards the towering Surabaya Pass, Hu Zhen who was riding on a horse felt depressed and uncomfortable, God knows what Dong Taishi would do with him.
*****
Hearing that Sun Jian was victorious in front of Bishui Pass, Gongsun Yi immediately reorganized the army, quietly led 5,000 elite cavalry soldiers who were reduced to zero, concealed from all the princes, carried sufficient grain and grass and a lot of siege equipment, and marched towards Bishui Pass.
If Sun Jian's attack is fast enough, he must be able to attack Bishui Pass before Huaxiong arrives, but this is not fast enough, Gongsun Yi hopes that Sun Jian's attack will be faster, so fast that Dong Zhuo will not have time to withdraw from Luoyang, and it will not be too late to take away the emperor and civil and military officials.
As long as Dong Zhuo is trapped in Luoyang, when the general of the Kwantung Righteous Army arrives and surrounds Luoyang, then Dong Zhuo will be unable to fly, and if he does not cut off the head of Dong Thief, Gongsun Yi will not give up.
Gongsun Yi led the army all the way forward, and finally caught up with Sun Jian's army that was resting, at this time the battle was won, and the morale of Sun Jian's army was greatly boosted, but he obviously didn't have a good impression of the uninvited hussar general Gongsun Yi.
Everyone understands that Gongsun Yi came here, nothing more than to snatch credit, otherwise he disappeared in order to fight with the Xiliang army, and suddenly appeared at this time, but he was not angry, Gongsun Yi was a hussar general with a high position, and no one dared to have the slightest disrespect, even Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger.
Sun Jian stepped forward to meet him, with a respectful attitude, and was not complacent after the big victory, and invited Gongsun Yi into the battle to report the battle information in detail, in fact, Sun Jian would be wrong, in addition to thinking that Gongsun Yi was coming to grab credit, he was also the envoy of the alliance leader, to test the truth.
After Sun Jian's words, Gongsun Yi chuckled and said: "I'm afraid General Sun has misunderstood, he is uninvited to help the general, and he has no intention of grabbing merit, let alone the envoy of Yuan Mengzhu, now this is the general's territory, and General Sun can do it himself." ”
Sun Jian was disdainful in his heart, seeing that the Xiliang army was defeated, and the defenders of Bishui Pass were only remnants of the enemy, so why did they need the help of the Xiao cavalry.
came to snatch the credit and said it so high-soundingly, Gongsun Yi is too hypocritical, Sun Jian's eyes are becoming more and more indifferent, how can he have a good face for hypocrites.
Sun Jian's attitude changed, Gongsun Yi took a full view, and said with a silent chuckle: "Tomorrow, General Sun can lead the troops there, and our army will follow the rear and advance slowly, and everything will be ordered by General Sun." ”
"If this is the case, please also ask the hussar general to sweep the formation in the rear, and our army will definitely be able to take Bishui Pass within half a day!"
"It's dark at night, so I won't bother General Sun and take my leave." Gongsun Yi got up and bowed, then strode out of the military tent, and met the oncoming Cheng Pu and other generals, Gongsun Yi bowed slightly, pulled the towed war horse and turned over, and headed towards the headquarters barracks.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the others walked into the military tent, and the outspoken Cheng Pu said angrily: "This grandson is really shameless, such a hypocritical lord must not be approached!" ”
"How can Gongsun Yi's tricks be hidden from me, tomorrow I will personally lead the army, and I will definitely take Bishui Pass within half a day, and then he Gongsun Yi can still put gold on his face?" Sun Jian was hearty and small, only to feel that Bishui Guan was already a cyst.
"By the way, immediately send someone to Yuan Shu to urge food, our army's food is only used for one day, and this matter must not be neglected!"
Although Sun Jian can ask Gongsun Yi for food, but in this way, he owes favors, for a hypocrite like Gongsun Yi, Sun Jian is too lazy to say goodbye, not to mention that he is a general of Yuan Shu, so he should ask Yuan Shu for food and grass.
*****
In the big tent of the Kwantung Righteous Army, Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, and the general under the seat knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "My general has won a great victory, and the soldiers have been directed at Bishui Pass, and they will attack Guanzhong within a few days, but the food and grass in the army are insufficient, and I hope General Yuan will send military rations as soon as possible!" ”
"General Sun is really an unstoppable Jiangdong tiger, you go back first and tell General Sun that the grain and grass will arrive in one day." Yuan Shu remained silent, and after praising Sun Jian's bravery, he ordered the general to return and promised to send food as soon as possible.
Coming and leaving, Yuan Shu went back and forth, Sun Jian, as the vanguard of the righteous army, attacked Dong Zhuo's bloody battlefield, and should have allocated grain and grass in time, but Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jiangong's high power would be the master, and it would be difficult to control it in the future, so he hesitated for a while.
At this time, Li Feng, who was beside Yuan Shu, seemed to see that Yuan Shu was hesitant in his heart, got up and stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord, if Sun Jian is allowed to break the Bishui Pass, the faces of the heroes of all roads will be really dull." ”
"That's exactly what I was worried about." Yuan Shu nodded slightly, deeply agreeing with Li Feng's words.
Li Feng then said: "Lord, the fierce tiger of Sun Wentai Jiangdong, if he attacks Bishui Pass, breaks Luoyang, and captures Dong Zhuo, it is tantamount to removing wolves and adding tigers. ”
"It makes sense." Yuan Shu decided not to send grain and grass to Sun Jian, looking at him Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, how can he take the Bishui Pass?
Sun Jian got the news that Yuan Shu would send food on one day, and believed it for a while, and Sun Jian could lead his troops to kill Xiangshui Pass without worries, and at the same time sent scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the Xiao cavalry.
It's just that what makes Sun Jian puzzled is that Gongsun Yi really marched into the army slowly, and the speed was so slow that it didn't seem like fighting for the city, but enjoying the scenery all the way very leisurely, and soon set up camp hundreds of miles away from Bishui Pass, and it seemed that he didn't have the heart to grab credit.
Although I don't understand what the hell Gongsun Yi is thinking, but in this way, he and Sun Jian are mindful, and lead the army to approach Bishui Pass, and after a short rest, they can lead the troops to attack the city.
The fierce war drums roared, the shouts of killing to the sky resounded in the sky, and many soldiers in armor and sharp shoulders carried the ladder and rushed towards the Bishui Pass without fear of death.
Sun Jianjun had not yet approached, and suddenly the Xiliang Army archers who had been waiting for a long time were suddenly closed, and the arrows were released at the same time as the military academy gave an order.
The sound of whistling through the air came one after another, and for a while, the arrows rained down, and the arrows penetrated into the body with strong inertia, even if the sword and shield soldiers were highly shielded, there were still many armor soldiers who rushed forward with nowhere to dodge, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Those who died instantly after being shot to the vital point were lucky, those armor soldiers who were shot to the ground, covering their wounds and wailing**, were quickly trampled to death by the crowd that rushed up, and the corpses tripped over many armor soldiers behind.
Soon Sun Jianjun broke through the rain of arrows and rushed to the city wall, and many cloud ladders quickly went towards the gate, and suddenly many stones fell from the gate, and the heads of the soldiers who could not dodge were smashed and burst open in an instant, and many soldiers who were just about to climb the cloud ladder were smashed to the ground and vomited blood.
The boiling oil pouring down with hot steam, for a while, Sun Jianjun's armor under the city was burned to the flesh, fell to the ground and rolled and wailed, one by one the ladders that were put on the wall battlements were quickly overturned, and the armorers who climbed the ladders fell down in amazement.
At the same time, Sun Jianjun's archers also began to fight back, and many of the Xiliang army armorers who poked their heads out and planned to check the situation under the city were suddenly hit by arrows, and their whole bodies were weakly climbed down the city wall, and they fell to the ground and blood splashed everywhere, and the strong plasma splashed out, and the strong and indelible stench and bloody smell were suffocating.
Although Sun Jian's army suffered heavy losses, but the more he fought, the more brave he became, he jumped on the ladder and rushed towards the city, after unremitting efforts, Sun Jian's army finally attacked the city, and most of the surrounding Xiliang troops were slaughtered, and they had to stand firm.
It's just that under the leadership of the coach Hu Zhen and the pioneer Lu Bu, the Xiliang army regrouped and drove Sun Jianjun off the city one after another.
The ground of the original stones was soaked in blood and became very slippery, and the two armies fought fiercely for a day, and after paying huge casualties, Sun Jian's army finally had no choice but to retreat.
Sun Jian looked at the head of the city of Bishui Pass with a complicated expression, who would have thought that the originally vulnerable Xiliang Army had become so brave, and he thought that Bishui Pass, which he could easily take, had become a difficult bone to gnaw, if he waited for Huaxiong's reinforcements to arrive, with the current strength, he would not be able to take Bishui Pass at all.
In fact, Sun Jian didn't know that when Hu Zhen received Dong Zhuo's military order, he knew very well that if he led the troops back, he would definitely be killed by Dong Zhuo, so he could only fight back desperately and hold on until noon the next day.
