Chapter Fifty-Nine: Dangerous Moves
The battle situation of Bishui Pass became more and more intense, this majestic Xiongguan stood between the two peaks, once again ushered in the two armies to rush and kill, the archers of the two sides continued to scatter each other, from time to time the armor fell down the city, the corpses under the pass piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed into a river for a while.
The Xiliang army is always able to attack the city every time, but it is quickly repulsed, and it seems that the Bishui Pass can be broken overnight, but it is always impossible to take it, and wave after wave of the Xiliang army rushes up again, vowing not to attack the pass and vow not to give up.
At this time, Huaxiong was like a crazy 'gambler', constantly urging his troops to attack, seeing that he could not attack for a long time, the Xiliang Army, which was originally imposing like a rainbow, was already much worse than before.
When Huaxiong was rushing to attack Bishui Pass, Hu Zhen, as the commander of the rear army, also urged the whole army to advance quickly, and the thousands of men and horses in his hands not only carried baggage, grain and grass, but also many female dependents and money snatched from the surrounding villages.
Hu Zhen finally understood why Hua Xiong couldn't come for a long time, but this was probably the personal behavior of some generals, but whether Hua Xiong knew it or not, Hu Zhen didn't care.
The important thing is to lead the army to Bishui Pass as soon as possible to help Huaxiong, if he can break through Bishui Pass, it will be atonement, then Dong Zhuo can't do anything to him.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from the rear army, and even the screams before death were heard one after another, Hu Zhen immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing and sent left and right to find out what was going on.
"My lord, it's not good!" A guard came in a panic.
"What's the panic, say it slowly, the sky can't fall!" Hu Zhen said angrily in displeasure.
"Lord Qiyu, those defeated soldiers who were released from Bishui Pass, because they were resentful that they could not get supplies, began to rob the baggage of the rear army, and many people have been killed and wounded!"
"What, it's so undisciplined, follow me to see!" Hu Zhen's eyes were full of murderous energy, and he commanded left and right in a cold voice.
For these defeated soldiers, Hu Zhen felt a loss in his heart, but Hu Zhen preferred that these people would die in Bishui Pass, but it was a pity that Gongsun Yi's wife was kind and actually released all these wounded soldiers.
If these defeated soldiers all died here, no one could prove that he abandoned the pass and fled, even if Lu Bu accused, it was a family's words that could not be true, Hu Zhen had a murderous intention in his heart, and only the dead would keep secrets.
Hu Zhen led people to the rear army, only to see hundreds of bloodied remnants, holding the snatched blades, blocking in front of the baggage team, there were also hundreds of Xiliang army armor soldiers standing around to confront these defeated soldiers, there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, but they were all the corpses of Xiliang army armor soldiers.
Seeing that the defeated army had hundreds of people, Hu Zhen also made a difficulty, if the number of people was small, he could have been captured and detained, even if he ordered all of them to be executed on the spot, but there were hundreds of people in front of him, and the law did not hold the people accountable, especially on the battlefield, and it was very likely to cause a mutiny if he was not careful.
If it is once the fight is made, I am afraid that you don't want to rush to Bishui Pass for a while, not to mention that these defeated soldiers are all soldiers who fought to the death in Bishui Pass before, if they are killed in the hands of their own people, once it is spread, it will inevitably not attract criticism, and I am afraid that no one will sacrifice their lives to fight in the future.
Hu Zhence stepped forward immediately, intending to say good words to appease, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, the remnants of the city were only nearly a thousand, and after a day of hard fighting, they were almost completely lost, why did so many powerful defeated soldiers suddenly appear?
Before Hu Zhen could speak, a defeated soldier standing at the head of the platoon suddenly quickly pulled out a short-handled halberd from his waist and threw it towards Hu Zhen's war horse.
The short-handled halberd roared, and the sharp sound of breaking the sky was so powerful that Hu Zhen didn't have time to react at all, and watched the short-handled halberd slam into the head of the war horse.
With the huge force of the collision, the war horse fell to death in an instant, and immediately Hu Zhen couldn't react to be thrown off the war horse, and slammed into the ground in embarrassment, and suddenly fell dizzy.
Before everyone could be screened, a defeated soldier suddenly came quickly, and several guards around wanted to stop it, only to see that the defeated soldier suddenly drew his sword and slashed horizontally and vertically, and all the guards who wanted to protect Hu Zhen fell one after another.
When Hu Zhen just got up on the ground with Venus in his eyes, a sharp war knife was already on his neck, Hu Zhen wanted to cry without tears, he wanted to solve the matter of the rebels, but now he has become a prisoner, God knows what these rebels will do with him.
"The enemy army in Bishui Pass has been killed, General Huaxiong has been defeated, flee quickly!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of panicked shouts in the barracks, and all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were on standby were terrified, and they all looked in the direction of Hu Zhen, the general of the unified army.
It's just that Hu Zhen has long been gone, and it is confirmed that this is not a rumor, seeing that the general of the unified army fled first, the morale of a group of Xiliang army soldiers suddenly plummeted, and the morale of the army was in chaos, driven by some officers, the rear army of the Xiliang army had no intention of fighting again, and they turned around and fled to Luoyang.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were transporting heavy baggage around them, heard that the Huaxiong army had been defeated, and they did not hesitate to flee one after another when they saw the many soldiers who had fled, as for the life of Hu Zhen, the commander of the army, it was really worthless compared to his own life.
Seeing that the Xiliang army was scattered and fled, the defeated army casually took off his helmet, buckled it on Hu Zhen's head, and pressed it to an inconspicuous corner to the side.
Taking off the helmet casually, Gongsun Yi brushed his scattered hair, in order to pretend to be a defeated soldier, but it took a lot of effort, fortunately, everything was finally successful, without the support of these thousands of rear troops, Hua Xiong at this time was like a grasshopper with a broken leg, and it didn't take long to jump.
"You're Gongsun Yi!" Hu Zhen was shocked, staring at Gongsun Yi and shouting in disbelief.
When Gongsun Yi was by Dong Zhuo's side, Hu Zhen had met several times, although he had never met, but he still remembered his face, but Hu Zhen never expected that Gongsun Yi would pretend to be a defeated soldier, bypass Hua Xiong's team, and come directly to the rear army.
And successfully 'dismissed' thousands of armor soldiers and the rear army transporting baggage, thinking of the Huaxiong army that was rushing to Bishui Pass, Hu Zhen secretly hoped that Huaxiong would not order the siege of the city in a hot mind.
"Bang!" Sun Jian, who was standing behind Hu Zhen, slammed the back of the knife on his neck.
Regardless of Hu Zhen's screams, he sneered and said in a deep voice: "Lord Gongsun's name is also your name?" ”
"Rude and rude, Hussar General, General Sun, the villain is just acting on orders, and he never wants to go against the two adults, killing me is really dirty for the two generals' knives, please let it go!"
Gongsun Yi nodded slightly to Sun Jian, and Sun Jian immediately ordered the left and right to cover Hu Zhen blindfolded, and the five flowers were tied up and hidden in the depths of the woods.
Gongsun Yi stepped forward and chuckled: "General Hu, you have plenty of time to consider whether to cooperate with our army, by the way, there seem to be tigers, leopards and jackals in this woods, if General Hu Fu Da Da did not die by then, it will not be too late for us to talk about cooperation." Hu Zhen kept shaking, but Gongsun Yi and the others had already left.
*****
Under the Bishui Pass, Hua Xiong was very impatient to go back and forth in the military tent, the rear army led by Hu Zhen has not yet arrived, the siege has failed one after another, and the attack of the soldiers has long been much worse than before.
Just as Huaxiong was hesitating whether to suspend the attack, a sudden report from the guards said that hundreds of defeated soldiers had gone and returned, stating that they would join the siege army and avenge the death of their colleagues who had died earlier.
Hua Xiong was stunned for a while, his respect for these defeated troops spontaneously appeared, thinking of the previous arrogance and rudeness, he only felt a little apologetic, seeing that the Xiliang Army could not be attacked for a long time, and the morale of the Xiliang army, which had paid a huge price, was low to a trough, Hua Xiong immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
The sound of Qingming's impact resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Xiliang army, which was rushing to attack Bishui Pass, quickly retreated, and some of the armor soldiers who were still on the ladder and had no time to escape simply turned around and jumped down, falling on the mountain of corpses, but it was no big deal.
The sergeants on the Bishui Pass carried the wounded soldiers down one after another, and threw all the dead bodies off the city wall, presumably it would not be long before the stench and mosquitoes were everywhere around the Bishui Pass.
Dong Zhuo personally went to meet the defeated army, and hundreds of defeated troops stood not far from the big tent, forming a strange zigzag formation, and at the same time, thick smoke billowed from the direction from which the rear army came.
Suddenly, the suspension bridge of Bishui Pass suddenly fell, and countless elite armor soldiers rushed out from the pass, and the cavalry took the lead, rushing straight towards the Xiliang Army station, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky, energetic, and morale was high, how could there be a bloody battle of fatigue?
On the other hand, the Xiliang army, after a bloody battle, not only did the morale plummet, but the generals were also sleepy and lacked, and they had no strength to fight again.
Even though some officers and colonels hurriedly organized defense, in the face of the sudden rush and killing, the improvised battle formation collapsed at the touch of a button.
The two armies of the Xiao cavalry army and Sun Jianjun were like broken bamboos, and everywhere they went, they swept through the Xiliang army, the cavalry and horses galloped, and the Xiliang army armor in front had no time to dodge, and they were knocked over and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
The cavalry was condescending, the swords in their hands continued to chop, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Xiliang army, the defeat was like a mountain, and many of the Xiliang troops were completely frightened, and they turned around and fled, and there were not a few people who knelt on the ground with their blades and asked to surrender.
At the beginning, seeing that the battle at the head of the city was not stopping, these armor soldiers who had been ordered to stand by had long been unable to bear it, until they saw the smoke billowing in the distance, and the general defending the city gave the order to attack, holding back the fire in his belly, and naturally vented unceremoniously on the Xiliang army.
The cavalry repeatedly rushed to kill, and the elite soldiers quickly annihilated the recalcitrant enemy, and the entire Xiliang army camp was in chaos.
Hua Xiong was about to ride his horse back when suddenly a defeated soldier rushed to his horse, Hua Xiong was shocked, and the long knife in his hand suddenly slashed, Hua Xiong, who had been fighting on the battlefield all year round, could clearly feel the murderous aura from this defeated soldier.
Unlike Lu Bu's might, the aura exuded by this defeated army contained a strong and violent aura, and Hua Xiong suddenly wanted one person, that was Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger.
Seeing that Sun Jian was wearing the uniform of the defeated army, and there were hundreds of defeated troops around him faintly encircled, and the rear army led by Hu Zhen had not arrived for a long time, he must have been in an accident, Hua Xiong's whole body was like an ice cave, and he already understood the cause and effect of the matter.
Regret is useless, only forcibly break through, today's revenge can only be avenged later!
