Chapter 170, Night Attack

Seeing the arrows falling like rain on the pass, Sun Jian's eyebrows furrowed, and he knew that he couldn't do anything, so he led his troops back to Liangdong to live - about ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, while making people report to Yuan Shao for success, and by the way, urging Yuan Shu to get food.

As soon as Hua Xiong woke up, he heard Li Su talk about "Fang just fought with Sun Jian and broke the deputy general Hu Zhen", he was annoyed in his heart, and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big event earlier?" ”

"Vice General Hu is in charge of his own affairs, and I can't ......," Li Su defended.

"That's it, the two armies are fighting, how can there be immortals? I beheaded the enemy general Bao Zhong, did Xiangguo ever write a letter to commend him? "Hua Ambition thought: Hu Zhen, this idiot, do you want to learn from me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? But he didn't have the ability, but he put himself in it, and he couldn't blame others. So he waved his hand.

"The captain has made a great contribution, and Xiangguo will definitely reward him, but the reward has not yet arrived." Li Su whispered.

At this moment, a small soldier rushed over with a letter in his hand, and said respectfully: "Lord Captain, Xiangguo has a letter." ”

Hua Xiong took it, tore it open and looked at it, and then laughed: "Okay, Xiangguo has crowned me as the governor, Li Su, hurry up and give the order to go down and set up a wine to celebrate." ”

"Yes." Li Su sighed in his heart: I just folded Hu Zhen, and it doesn't seem good to put on a big feast. But he didn't say anything, nodded in agreement, and turned to leave.

Lu Zhan, who was in the palace guard, only sneered in his heart after hearing the news that Dong Zhuo had won the first battle of Hua Xiong's victory: "Hua Xiong, you and I have always been at odds, so it's not good for me to help you, you still have a few days to live, cherish it." ”

Then he found Ma Chao and asked, "Brother Yi, have you been thinking about getting rid of Huaxiong all along?" "I'm going to tell him the good news.

"Well, I swore in front of Sister Ah Lu that I would kill Hua Xiong to vent her anger. Why did the eldest brother ask this question? Although Ma Chao was a little puzzled, he still said firmly.

"Maybe you can't kill Hua Xiong."

"Maybe, I can't beat him yet, but I will work hard and definitely surpass him."

"But Hua Xiong will be killed by others." Lu Zhan turned his head and looked in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass.

“…… What does the eldest brother mean that Hua Xiong may die in the tiger prison? Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows.

"Exactly."

"That's a good dare, you can save me from making a move." Ma Chaoxi said, "How would the eldest brother know? ”

"The princes from all walks of life who came to attack Luoyang this time, many of them are people with outstanding martial arts. Although Hua Xiong won the first battle this time, with his ability, it was difficult to resist the attack of the good players behind. So I expected him to be defeated, and nine times out of ten he would not come back. Lu Zhan said lightly, but he didn't tell him another piece of great news that was great news for Ma Chao - and bad news - Your father Ma Teng is also here this time.

It is said that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Sun Jian's military camp, and there is a lot of food and grass needed every day. And today the cold ground is freezing, the north wind is whistling, the soldiers are hungry, and they have to starve while being frozen, and they gradually complain and resent: they can't even eat enough, and they still fight a bird in this battle?

It turned out that after Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jianqi had won the victory and asked for the supply of grain and grass, a villain under the account suggested: "My lord, you must not send grain." ”

"Why?" Yuan Shusheng's thin eyebrows and small eyes, his face was white and short, and he was puzzled.

"Lord, think about it, Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, if he is allowed to capture the tiger prison, break Luoyang, and kill Dong Zhuo, wouldn't he get rid of the wolf and get the tiger? At that time, Sun Jian will gain fame and fortune, and his power will be dominant, which will be unfavorable to the lord and others. Therefore if there is no food today, the other army will be scattered. ”

Yuan Shu thought about it, and the ghost made the god agree. In fact, he didn't want Sun Jian to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, if his brother led the troops, he was afraid that the grain and grass would have already been delivered.

As the saying goes, if the three armies are not moved, the grain and grass go first. This shows the importance of grain and grass to an army.

Poor Sun Jian is still waiting for Yuan Shu to send food through the autumn water, and for those soldiers who complain that they can't eat enough, they can only be patiently appeased again and again. But there are still some soldiers who don't buy it: fighting a war is a life-selling job, and now you can't eat enough, so you might as well break up.

It is conceivable that an army without the support of grain and grass will inevitably be chaotic and self-defeating.

At this time, a spy had already reported the matter to Hua Xiong. Li Su thought to himself: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he planned to Hua Xiong: "Tonight, I will lead an army down the pass from the small road, and go around to Sun Jianzhai and sneak attack; The captain led his troops to attack head-on, and then we attacked from front to back, and Sun Jian was bound to lose. ”

"Okay, that's it!" When Hua Xiong heard this, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Look at me to capture Sun Jian tonight and avenge the deputy general Hu Zhen." "Tell the sergeant to prepare: eat and sleep well, and go to battle at night.

It is the night moon and the white breeze is clear, and the cold hits people. Hua Xiong led 5,000 iron horsemen - the horse's mouth was tied to the wood, the horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and quietly ran to the front of Sun Jian's village, it was already the middle of the night.

Seeing that the bonfire in the village was not prosperous and the guards were not strict, Huaxiong was overjoyed and led the long ride to drive straight in. At that time, Sun Jian did not go to bed, but was thinking about the problem of food shortage -- urging food not to be distributed for three days must be artificial. He planned to withdraw his troops tomorrow, and vowed to find Yuan Shu to understand: We are risking death to kill the enemy on the front line, what is your intention in delaying the distribution of food and grass?

At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the village, and it was chaotic. Sun Jian hurriedly put on his horse and went to see what was going on. I saw that under the light of the flickering bonfire, most of the soldiers in the village did not wear armor, but only held swords and guns in their hands, and fought with the enemy cavalry attacking the village.

Under the attack of the opponent like a wolf and a tiger, his own men and horses were defeated one after another.

"Alas, I've suffered all the soldiers." Sun Jian sighed in his heart, picked up the ancient ingot knife, and joined the battle group.

"Haha, Sun Jianpifu, I'm Huaxiong to fight you." Suddenly, a strange scream came, and a nine-foot-long guy shaped like a savage rushed out obliquely and stopped Sun Jian.

The two of them raised their swords and fell, the war horses intersected, and the fight was not counted, and when Li Sujun arrived, he also set a fire in the sky.

Most of the strong army was fighting hungry, but when they saw the fire in the back village, they had no intention of fighting. Those who were chased to death by the soldiers led by Hua Xiong and Li Su were even more difficult to count.

Sun Jian was defeated in this battle.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, how could Sun Jian be in the mood to fight Hua Xiong? He fought and retreated.

"Sun Jian'er, this time I want to kill you, avenge my deputy general Hu Zhen, and leave." Hua Xiong chased with a sly smile.

"Huaxiong thief, don't want to hurt my lord." Halfway through, Zu Mao suddenly killed, bent his bow and shot arrows, slightly blocking Hua Xiong, and then broke through with Sun Jian.

But Huaxiong led hundreds of troops and pursued closely.

fled for several miles, but saw that Huaxiong still did not give up. Zu Mao looked up at the sky and said to Sun Jian beside him: "The moon is white tonight, and the red curtain on the lord's head is eye-catching, and he is known by thieves. Take off your lordship and let me wear it. ”

Sun Jian hesitated slightly, then took off his jacket and handed it to Zu Mao, changed into his helmet and put it on, and fled in two ways.
