Chapter 12: Bad News

The princes of the Eighteen Roads are all powerful figures, and Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, is the most dazzling hero at this moment. Sun Jian led his 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers to enter the Bishui Pass first, and the soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang. 30,000 horses and horses were on the official road to Luoyang, and Sun Jian wanted to be the first prince to enter Luoyang.

Sun Jian has a strong physique, a short beard on the chin, thick eyebrows and a square face, and is quite heroic, he rides a yellow horse, wears a red tasseled helmet, is wrapped in rotten silver armor, hangs a white cloak on his shoulders, carries an ancient ingot knife around his waist, and carries a bow and arrows with him. Three cronies and generals rode horses to follow on the left and right, namely Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and there was originally an Zu Mao, but he was beheaded by Hua Xiong when he fought against Hua Xiong not long ago!

Sun Jian was followed by three teenagers. The eldest one, though not as young as the weak crown, was heroic, dressed in armor and carrying a spear, like a young general; the second boy is polite, blue-eyed, thin but skillful; The youngest was clearly a girl, but she had the temperament of a woman who did not let her eyebrows go, wearing a tight leather armor, carrying a sword at her waist, and carrying a bow on her back that was larger than her person. These three young men whose appearance and temperament are far superior to ordinary people are the three children that Sun Jian is proud of, namely Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Sun Ren. Sun Jian took their three siblings on an expedition to let them be exposed to war since they were young.

Thousands of iron horsemen surrounded them, their hooves rolling and thundering. More than 20,000 foot soldiers followed.

Not long after the run, the sentinel in front came to report that the three princes Wang Kuang, Gongsun Zhan, and Bao Xin were leading a large army to fight with Lu Bu's army. Wang Kuanggong and Sun Zan and others came in from the Tiger Prison and had more cavalry, so they rushed ahead of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian was a little surprised, "Why is Lu Bu's army still there?" He turned his head to the generals beside him and said, "Go!" Check it out! With that, he rode out, and the three brothers and sisters and the soldiers hurriedly followed.

Soon after, thousands of horsemen came to a hill, and saw that a great battle was raging on the plain. A general wearing a beast-faced Tang Nijia and carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd riding a red rabbit horse, and another fierce general wearing black iron heavy armor and holding a big sword, were leading thousands of iron horsemen to fight against the more than 60,000 troops of the three princes. Thousands of iron horsemen are like thousands of fierce tigers, galloping horses, roaring and shaking the sky, crisscrossing the enemy army ten times their size! The nearly 60,000 troops of the three princes were actually killed by thousands of cavalry on the other side, and they were in a state of confusion, and fell under the opponent's iron cavalry spears one by one! The most eye-catching is the general who rode a red rabbit horse and held a Fang Tian painting halberd, only to see him rushing to the front, and there was no one in the place he passed, as if he had entered a no-man's land!

The crowd was shocked. Huang Gai said in disbelief: "Looking at this posture, the three princes are afraid that they will not be able to hold on!" ”

"Daddy, let's go to war!" Sun Ce said with a longing expression on his spear.

Sun Jian pursed his lips, pulled out the ancient ingot knife, and held it high. Thousands of iron horsemen stared at the ancient ingot knife in his hand, and the battle blood in his body was already boiling.

The ancient ingot knife pointed forward suddenly, "Charge with me!" ”

Roar! Thousands of people shouted in unison, poured down the hillside, and swooped fiercely towards the flank of Zhang Lang's army.

And at this moment, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei intercepted Zhang Lang and Zhang Liao to fight.

Seeing that Zhang Lang was in danger, he immediately broke away from the battle and led Zhang Liao and thousands of iron cavalry to retreat in the direction of Luoyang.

The army of the princes pursued for a moment, but when they could not catch up, they stopped. Sun Ce asked unwillingly, "Daddy, why didn't you chase it?" We have cavalry, we can catch up with them! Sun Jian shook his head and said nothing. The veteran Cheng Pu said to Sun Ce: "Young lord, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are brave and invincible, and the thousands of iron cavalry under their command are the elite of a hundred battles, even if our thousands of cavalry catch up, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!" ”

Sun Ce was not convinced, but he didn't say anything more.

Sun Ren stretched his neck and looked into the distance, and asked Huang Gai on the side curiously: "Uncle Huang, is the general holding Fang Tian's halberd just now Lu Bu?" ”

Huang Gai nodded, "If you go back to Miss, that person is Lu Bu!" ”

Sun Ren recalled Zhang Lang's invincible posture just now, and couldn't help but admire: "I have long heard that 'Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses', and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" ”

Sun Ce turned around and snorted coldly: "Hmph! What is 'the red rabbit among the people', Lu Bu and the horse', it is clearly a traitor who seeks glory and shame! I'm going to take someone's head! ”

Sun Ren frowned, she felt that what her eldest brother said made sense, and sighed secretly: It's a pity that invincible martial arts!

Sun Jian took the generals and their children to meet with the three princes. Bao Xin said happily: "If it weren't for Brother Wentai arriving in time, I'm afraid we would have been defeated!" Wang Kuang said with emotion: "Lu Bu is really a tiger and a wolf!" ”

Sun Ce, who was standing behind Sun Jian, sneered.

Sun Jian hugged his fists and said: "Three brothers, although Lu Bu is fierce, he is already at the end of the road, we shouldn't give him a chance to breathe!" The three of them were all killed by Zhang Lang, nodded, and hugged their fists together: "Wentai is brave, please be the forward!" Sun Jian nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Please hand over the iron cavalry under the command of the three brothers to me for the time being!" The three of them glanced at each other, and Gongsun Chan first said, "I will hand over the five thousand iron horsemen under my command to Wentai." Seeing this, the other two expressed their willingness to hand over the iron horse to Sun Jian. The four then returned to their respective ranks.

Sun Ce glanced back at the few princes in the distance, and mocked: "It's all some rats!" ”

Sun Jian smiled coldly. Said to Cheng Pu: "Demou, you lead the foot soldiers to press the formation behind." The marching speed doesn't have to be fast, once Lu Bu comes to attack, immediately set up a formation to meet the battle! "Order!" Cheng Pu clenched his fists and promised.

Sun Jian glanced at the others, "The rest of the people will follow me to lead the iron cavalry to pursue Lu Bu!" ”

"No!"

Sun Jian led thousands of iron horsemen from Jiangdong and 10,000 iron horsemen temporarily handed over to him by the other three princes to walk in the front as the vanguard, while the rest of the horses followed. Due to the sudden attack of the iron cavalry led by Zhang Lang before, the marching speed of all the armies was not very fast, and the iron cavalry as the vanguard was only a little faster than the infantry army.

After Zhang Lang led the iron cavalry to retreat, he retreated all the way to Luoyang. At this moment, there was a strange atmosphere in Luoyang City. Zhang Lang understands that most of the people in the city, and almost all the big clans, are eager for the princes' alliance to enter the city as soon as possible!

Zhang Lang sat down on the tower of the city gate. Zhang Liaohou was established on the left and right sides. Zhang Lang first asked Hou Cheng: "How far have the people gone?" ”

Hou Cheng replied: "It's already sixty miles away!" ”

Zhang Lang frowned, "It's too slow!" Looking at Zhang Liao, "How long will it take for the alliance of princes to arrive?" ”

Zhang Liao smiled, "They were scared by the general!" Not fast! Even the forward iron cavalry led by Sun Jian is only sixty miles away! It takes two days to get to Luoyang! When you arrive in Luoyang, even if you want to continue to pursue westward, you will have to stay for at least a day or two! In a few days, the people should be able to get out of danger! ”

Zhang Lang nodded.

A herald rushed in in a panic and reported urgently: "General, the cavalry of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan has suddenly attacked the westward moving team!" ……”

Zhang Lang was shocked, got down from his seat, and asked urgently, "My wife is like this?" ”

The herald swallowed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know! However, it is not ......"

"But what?"

"News came from the front, saying that many ministers had died in the chaos, and countless women's belongings had been taken away!"

Zhang Lang was in a big mess, and hurriedly ordered: "Order all armies, give up Luoyang, and follow me west!" "No!" The two generals agreed in unison.
