Chapter 181, Duel

Xu Rong led the army to rush left and right, risking death to break through the siege, how could the other party's four armies surround them like an iron bucket, how to fight the trapped beasts, it was useless.

The Allied army was as numerous as ants, besieging Xu Rong's army of 10,000 people like a big pie, intending to slowly encroach on it.

For a moment, shouts, neighing horses, clashing swords, wailing, laughing, cursing, and so on were incessant.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Rong's army was in danger of being wiped out. At the critical moment, Li Dao and Guo Yan led the army to rescue.

It turned out that Lu Zhan was worried that Xu Rong would go deep into the dangerous place, so he ordered the two of them to lead an army to the rescue - if there is something to reinforce, it is better if there is nothing to do.

Seeing that the reinforcements were coming, Xu Rong, who was almost dying, mustered up his courage and led the army to break through to their side.

It's just that suddenly a long arrow came from behind and drilled into his back. "Huh-" Xu Rong suddenly felt the pain like a sharp weapon drilling his body, gritted his teeth, grabbed the reins of the horse, and continued to rush out of the encirclement.

"Uhh

At this time, Xu Rong no longer had the strength to sit firmly on the horse's back, and fell staggered under the exclamations of his entourage...... Even if he was not killed by an arrow, he was trampled to death by the rebels.

Seeing that Xu Rong fell off his horse in the midst of the enemy army, Li Dao and Guo Yan were furious and rushed to rescue him, but they were blocked by the allies...... In the end, only about 2,000 people were accepted to return to the customs.

10,000 when he went, 2,000 when he came back, and he also folded the people who led the army, and this battle can be described as a serious loss.

"Alliance leader, this time we have annihilated more than 5,000 enemies, and more than 2,000 enemy troops have surrendered, including three or four hundred wounded. Our side suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and in comparison, it should be a big victory over the Zhuo army. ”

In the tent of the allied forces, Yuan Shaogao sat in the first place, listening to the general's report on the battle situation, touching his chin happily, nodding with a smile, looking around at everyone and said: "It's a pity that the Zhuo army didn't come out of the nest this time, but it's not bad." What do you think of the wounded? ”

"Killed, it's a hundred." "They should be treated and reformed." "Put it back and increase the burden on Zhuo Jun. "Kill the seriously injured, save the lightly injured." ”……

Princes from all walks of life have offered their plans, and so on.

"In my opinion, we will escort them to the Tiger Prison Pass and force Lu Bu to come down and fight. If they don't fight, we'll kill the prisoners and the wounded one by one. Suddenly, Nanyang guarded Yuan Shu's vicious way.

"No, this plan is too vicious." Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan immediately refuted.

"There is a way that 'no poison is not a husband', and special strategies are used in special times, which is also not acceptable?" Yuan Shu glanced at Gongsun Zhan, turned his head, and his chin was slightly upturned, "Now that our grain and grass are scarce, if we don't take the Tiger Prison Pass quickly, I'm afraid that the soldiers will not be hungry and the army will be scattered." ”

"Uh-huh, too." "Makes sense. "This is the truth and must be considered. ”……

Some princes whispered.

"If we use such means to lay down the tiger prison, then how are we different from Dong Zhuo?" Gongsun Zhan's eyes widened, and he said sternly, and those who echoed Yuan Shu's words were suddenly speechless: Why do we want to eradicate Dong Zhuo? Isn't it because he is cruel and unkind, careless of human life, deceitful and heinous?

"Then Gongsun Taishou what is your best plan?" Yuan Shu's face was a little unnatural, and he snorted heavily.

"I don't have a good plan for the time being." Gongsun Chan told the truth.

"Come on, come on, let's drink, let's not talk about military affairs today." Yuan Shao picked up the wine glass and saluted.

……

When Li Dao and Guo Yan led an army to return to Guanshang with the remnants of Xu Rong's defeated generals, Lü Zhan saw that only one-fifth of them returned, and Xu Rong was also killed in battle.

"If you don't obey military orders, you will take the blame." He was a little angry, "Have pity on the soldiers who died with him." "As a modern person, Lu Zhan felt a pain in his heart when he thought that seven or eight thousand people had died in battle—some had surrendered, and at least thousands of families had been torn apart. I didn't have to cause such a big casualty.

"In the future, whoever refuses to obey military orders and makes decisions without authorization, causing such a large number of casualties, even if he is not killed in battle, he will definitely be dealt with by military law." Lu Zhan said heavily.

Li Dao and Guo Yan looked at each other, and they both felt that there seemed to be a fire burning on their faces.

This time he tasted the sweetness, and the next day, Yuan Shao made people repeat his old tricks.

"Haha...... Li Ru, immediately send a truce letter to them. After hearing the report, Lu Zhan sneered.

"Boss, how do you say to write it?" Yesterday, I saw his "majesty", and Li Ru's value for him turned into respect.

"Write it like this. Tomorrow morning, before the Tiger Prison Pass, there will be a decisive victory. If the Allies don't come, they will all be shrunken turtles, and they will only learn the tricks of barking dogs. Lu Zhan said without thinking.

“…… Be. When Li Ru heard this, his heart turned upside down: Is it still written like this in the war book? However, whoever sees it will be furious, and it will definitely come.

After the 2,000 soldiers of the Allied army who shouted for challenge under the pass almost smoked in their throats, they suddenly saw the pass and got off and rode down, and they were a little confused: Why did one person come down, not an army?

The person who came was Zhang Liao, but when he saw his eyebrows, he drove his horse heroically, holding a pair of bows and arrows, and a war letter was inserted on the arrow.

rushed like a whirlwind, did not speak, and shot an arrow at the opposing general.

When the round, raw general saw the arrow flying like a meteor, he quickly turned his horse's head in fright and avoided it.

"Send the war book to your lord, otherwise, if you come back tomorrow, I will take your head." Zhang Liao threw down a sentence, and Feima closed.

The fat general cursed, and asked people to bring the long arrow that was stuck diagonally in the ground.

Soon, he took the war letter handed by his subordinates, he wanted to read it but didn't dare to read it, and finally waved his army back.

When Yuan Shao saw this letter of war from Lu Zhan's mouth and Li Ru's hand, his angry face distorted, and he stretched out his hand heavily and slapped it on the table in front of him, and said angrily: "Lu Bu, I will fight a decisive battle, I must capture you alive to repay the humiliation today." He still thought it was Lu Bu guarding the Tiger Prison.

His younger brother Yuan Shuda was curious, took the battle book and looked at it, and after being angry, he smiled and said, "Big brother, this is good news." Yesterday we were worried that the Zhuo army would not be able to hold out, but today we received a war letter from the other side. I think that Lu Bu can't bear it anymore, and if he doesn't fight again, I'm afraid that his subordinates will abandon the pass and surrender. Haha......"

When the anger in his chest dissipated a little, Yuan Shao asked all the princes to be invited to discuss the military aircraft.

Suddenly, all the princes arrived - Ding Yuan was dead, so naturally he could not participate, and his body had been sent back to Bingzhou by Gao Shun.

After everyone read the war book, Yuan Shao saw the look of righteous indignation on their faces, and then said: "Don't miss the opportunity, Ming said that you princes of the Nine Roads are the front: Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Ying; The rest of the princes will follow me in the rear to press the formation. I wish you all a victorious start and win the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop. ”
