Chapter 213: Dong Zhuo's regiment turned
At night, the wind howls. Without the light of the sun, the chill in the air is even more biting. On a beacon tower on the Yellow River.
Two soldiers were lighting a bonfire to keep warm, wrapped in blankets and holding strong drinks.
"It's cold." One of the soldiers took a wild sip of the liquor and exhaled a breath of wine.
"It's okay. Isn't the cold winter of December even colder? The other soldier laughed.
"Whoa." At this moment, the strange sound of the river flowing sounded. The two soldiers immediately looked up to the east, and saw countless torches on the river, and the flames were soaring into the sky.
"Crossing the river at night ???" The two soldiers were a little surprised, but they were not surprised.
"Light an open fire." In the midst of the terrible screams, the five soldiers began to raise a huge open flame, which was transmitted to the west as an alarm.
In the darkness, beacon towers lit open flames, and the news quickly arrived in Yecheng.
"Huh??" Dong Zhuo's mansion, in the bedroom. Dong Zhuo was getting up from Mei Ji's keto body, flipping to the other side, panting.
"Even if it's two, it's a bit of a struggle." Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, with some regrets.
"My lord, there is a change in the East." Outside the door, Jia Xu's voice sounded.
"What about Hua Xiong? Did you send it over? Dong Zhuo's heart tightened, and he scolded and didn't let people sleep well. Mian hurriedly asked.
"It has been dispatched, but I think this is Zhang Shuang's tired strategy." Jia Xu said outside the door.
"What do you mean?" Dong Zhuo was taken aback, hurriedly put on his clothes, and opened the door. Come and see Jia Xu.
"The news during the day, General Huaxiong thought it was fake news. But I think it was Zhang Shuang who deceived us. It's the same at night. The aim was to exhaust General Huaxiong. Jia Xu said solemnly.
"Exhausted??" Dong Zhuo first sneered and thought. "I just need to let Hua Xiong stay still." But he scolded himself for being stupid.
If Huaxiong doesn't move, then won't Zhang Shuang be able to cross the river smoothly?
"What should I do??" Dong Zhuo said distressedly.
"There's not much you can do, so let's just look at the situation first." Jia Xu shook his head and said.
"." Dong Zhuo jumped to his feet and scolded.
…………
On the other side, Hua Xiong commanded 50,000 cavalry, raised torches, followed the direction of the open flame, and finally arrived at the source of the beacon tower to transmit the news.
"General Hua. It's not like we're spreading the news. The other party obviously started to cross the river, and then turned back. "The soldier is conscientious.
Hua Xiong's temper is relatively hot, but he is not brainless. Now I understand, this fucking Zhang Shuang is playing himself.
"It's okay, you're doing the right thing. Well done. Hua Xiong also comforted the soldier a few words, and then shouted: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
So, 50,000 cavalry turned back.
And cavalry control horses also require physical strength, especially at night. More consuming. Huaxiong's 50,000 cavalry attacked once during the day and once at night.
Fatigue is high.
After returning to Yecheng, all the soldiers slept with their heads covered. Hua Xiong endured the fatigue and went to report to Dong Zhuo before falling asleep. This sleeps. I slept until noon the next day.
"General, the beacon fire is coming again." Hua Xiong just got up. I received the news of the attack. So, Hua Xiong immediately put on his armor. Pick up the sword, lead 50,000 cavalry, and gallop to the east.
The result was another false alarm.
In the middle of the night, it was news again. At noon the next day, it was news again. In five days, Hua Xiong's whole body has lost weight, and both eye sockets have become the color of giant pandas.
Hua Xiong finally couldn't help it and went to find Dong Zhuo, and at this time, Jia Xu was also there.
"Lord, if it goes on like this, there is no need for Zhang Shuang's army to fight, our cavalry will collapse by itself first." Hua Xiong complained.
"What should I do?" Dong Zhuo didn't have a point, and looked at Jia Xudao.
"It's better to give up the defense of the Yellow River and fight Zhang Shuang to the death on land." Jia Xu sighed and said.
"There is a good Yellow River moat, but you have to give up. This lonely person is not reconciled. Dong Zhuo looked unwilling, then thought about it, and said to Hua Xiong: "You can make your own judgment." Don't go every time, but don't go regularly, don't attack regularly, scare Zhang Shuang, stop if you can, just stop if you can't. ”
"No." Hua Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and promised to go down.
"This look still can't deceive Zhang Shuang for long, the final result, Zhang Shuang's army will still be on this land, and we still have to fight him to the death." Jia Xu said.
"Hey." Dong Zhuo sighed, and then couldn't help but say: "Zhang Shuang's goods, it's just despicable and shameless, obscene, such a practice has been made, if he has the ability, he will forcibly cross the river to try, see Lao Tzu, I won't kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”
Jia Xu chose to ignore this sentence, fighting on the battlefield has always been dark, how can it be a general who is upright, especially a general like Zhang Shuang who killed the emperor.
"It seems that in this battle, it will be difficult for Dong Zhuo to gain the upper hand. Forget it, I'll help as hard as I can. If not, flee to the West. Jia Xu said secretly in his heart.
…………
"Hehe, I don't know if Dong Zhuo has started jumping now?" On the east bank of the Yellow River, Zhang Shuang wore thick clothes, sat on the ground to roast the fire, smiled and watched Dian Wei lead the army to retreat from the front, and said.
"Even if you don't jump your feet, you'll be dizzy." Li Hui shrugged his shoulders and said with some schadenfreude.
"That's why I said that there is no reason to prevent thieves the day before yesterday." Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"General." At this time, Dian Wei retreated and saluted Zhang Shuang.
"Good work, drink." Zhang Shuang personally poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Dian Weidao.
"General Xie." Dian Wei thanked him and took it and drank it.
…………
Another five days passed.
Dark night, on the east bank of the Yellow River. Zhang Shuang was still wearing heavy clothes, and under the devastation of the howling wind, he lit a bonfire to roast the fire. At this moment, the general who was feinting in front had already led the army down.
But Zhang Shuang did not hear the sound of large-scale cavalry concussion.
"It seems that Dong Zhuo has no choice, he started fishing for three days and dried his nets for two days." Zhang Shuang said thoughtfully and with a smile.
"Twice a day, once at noon and once in the middle of the night. Even if it's an iron-clad army, it can't stand it. If you don't be lazy, you will be defeated without a fight. Li Hui said with a smile, and then poured a sip of wine, refreshing.
"How? Entering the army? Li Hui asked again.
"Wait. Let's go into the army again in March according to the plan. Delay a little more, consume the energy of the Huaxiong cavalry a lot, and morale is good. ”
Zhang Shuang thought about it, and was a little excited at first, but in the end it was replaced by stability.
Years of war have taught Zhang Shuang the temperament to be patient if he has great interests.
"Hmm." Li Hui nodded.
As Zhang Shuang used the strategy of exhausting soldiers, he broke Dong Zhuo's turtle-like defense. Time passed quickly, and soon reached the fifth year of the Great Cause, March 8th.
In this total of two months, the number of touches of Huaxiong's army was sixty or seventy.
Or night, or day. Zhang Shuang couldn't see the morale of Huaxiong's army with his own eyes, but he could guess it.
On this day, Zhang Shuang recalled the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Shuang was beaming with joy and said with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, but you can hit it." ”
"No." The generals agreed.
Then Zhang Shuang began to arrange the order, first the fastest Zhou Cang chasing stars and chasing the moon and the horse army as the first ladder, and after going ashore, he immediately arranged defense.
The second is the Black Armor Meteor Army, whose strong combat power helps them occupy positions on the west bank.
Then there were the generals of the various infantry armies, and finally Lu Bu and the 30,000 Hun cavalry.
After arranging it, Zhang Shuang suddenly stood up and said arrogantly: "This time, I will gnaw Feng Yijun first." Then he went south to attack Chang'an, occupied Jingzhao County, and annihilated Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. It is in the time of the great war that the generals use their lives. ”
"No."
The generals agreed. Then the generals came out of the tent of the Chinese army and began to cross the river. Flags such as "Zhou" and "Dian" were planted all over the big ships, and the beacon flames burning on the west bank made them move towards the west bank.
..............
Since the last time he was awarded by Dong Zhuo, he can automatically judge. Hua Xiong began to decide whether to send troops according to his own judgment. Because of this, the rest of the cavalry increased a little.
However, for two consecutive months, the spirit of the cavalry was greatly damaged, and their physical strength also declined one after another, and their combat effectiveness was lost a lot.
Hua Xiong saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but helpless.
Today, after Hua Xiong received the news, he pondered for a while.
"Sending troops !!"
"Da Da Da!"
So, Huaxiong gathered 50,000 Xiliang iron horsemen and galloped eastward towards the Yellow River.
Dong Zhuo's Mansion, inside the hall. After Dong Zhuo got Jia Xu's report, he muttered. "Again, I hope it will pass safely."
"Damn, it's like waiting to be lucky, it's so unpleasant." Then, Dong Zhuo scolded unhappily again. Jia Xu smiled bitterly.
..........
On the west bank of the Yellow River, four generals, including Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Tai Shici, and Sun Ce, and 24,000 elite soldiers, had crossed the river and started to build fortifications.
The simplest thing is to guard against the trenches dug by the cavalry, and there are three roads inside and outside, and no matter what horses can't gallop at. Twenty-four thousand cavalry dug together, but it was also dug up quickly.
Then Dian Wei and the others began to order the soldiers to be arranged in all directions, spread their shields, and the archers were behind, and began to defend.
Dian Wei and Zhou Cang were in charge of proving the defense, and the two stood on horseback, looking to the west, chatting without a word.
"I hope that this time Huaxiong did not come, and we crossed the Yellow River smoothly and built a big camp." Zhou Cang said.
"yes, I hope it goes well." Dian Wei nodded.
"Da Da Da!"
When the ground began to shake, Zhou Cang and Dian Wei's faces suddenly became a little ugly.
"It's just a shit day." Zhou Cang scolded and looked back at the Yellow River. I saw that many boats were still in the middle of the river, and the later general Zhang Yan needed a certain amount of time to get ashore.
"Fight."
Zhou Cang said.
"It's done." Dian Wei nodded, murderous.
"Kill !!!!" (To be continued......)
