With the preparations of both sides, the war began, and no one made too much profit. But after half an hour of fighting, Zhao Rui's side was obviously invincible.

To say that this is not pretending, but really can't beat the other party. Cavalry against infantry has its own disadvantage, not to mention that there are 20,000 infantry behind them, and 40,000 against 15,000 people also has a huge advantage in numbers.

In just half an hour, Zhao Rui's army lost six or seven thousand people, and seeing that the number of soldiers was still in the midst of a sharp decrease, Zhao Rui felt that he should act very similarly this time, so he ordered the soldiers to start retreating, and he was the first to take the lead and retreated.

is not as good as others, but now that the master will withdraw, Yuan Shaojun's morale will be immediately discharged, and then the scene of defeat will start again.

Xu Huang seized the opportunity and kept giving orders to kill, this time he didn't want to be a prisoner, just killed the other party's living force as much as possible, and at the same time pursued Zhao Rui, who escaped, in order to expand the results of the battle.

In another half an hour, Zhao Rui's army was less than three thousand, and he finally escaped into the ambush circle that he had predicted before. Seeing that Xu Huang behind him was still chasing, he stopped in place with confidence in his eyes.

Zhao Rui suddenly didn't leave, and after Xu Huang led the army up, he didn't rush to attack, but deliberately paused so that the army could maintain a complete establishment before he shouted to the front: "Zhao Rui, why didn't you escape?" Can't escape? ”

"Haha, Xu Gongming, don't think how powerful you are, you don't know if you fall into the trap this time, then you just take a good look around." Zhao Rui saw that everything was done, and he shouted excitedly.

With this shout, countless people wearing light green military uniforms suddenly appeared nearby, and among them, a military flag with a large face character fluttered in the wind, which was the 80,000 reinforcements led by Yan Liang.

"Kill, kill!" As soon as the army appeared, there were shouts of killing, and then the enemy was seen on all sides.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Xu Huang pretended to be panicked, and after showing Zhao Rui, he saw him say to the deputy general beside him: "Inform it, don't panic, and defend according to the phalanx that was set up before." ”

"No." The adjutant general agreed and went to pass the order, and soon, I saw 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry began to assemble rapidly, with the cavalry as the center to form a phalanx, from a distance, it looked like a huge turtle shell, which made people have a feeling of being unable to speak.

Waiting for Yan Liang's army to arrive from all sides, it was in the face of this situation that the order to attack was issued, and no one paid attention to these things at this time.

80,000 people surrounded 40,000 men, and the war entered the most brutal stage for a while. Every minute, I don't know how many soldiers have lost their lives here.

The battle lasted for more than two hours, and when it was about to get dark, Yan Liang's army still didn't take too much advantage.

It's just that Yan Liang is not discouraged, in his opinion, if he continues to surround like this, he will eventually break through the other party, and then it will be the time to kill, so he still keeps giving orders to attack, and he looks like he is going to make a cut.

Xu Huang, who was surrounded, was not having a good time. In more than two hours, most of the 20,000 infantry arranged on his periphery had been killed, and now many cavalry were out of battle. Seeing that if the infantry on the periphery was exhausted, the cavalry would have to face the ubiquitous pikemen, which would be a real danger, he worriedly put his eyes on the periphery, and looked at the direction of Huguan to Luoyang with eager eyes, and he looked forward to the arrival of the army led by the lord.

Above Huguan Guancheng, Xu Shu saw the scene under the city very clearly, and he knew that this meeting should be the most difficult time for General Xu Huang, so he ordered: "Send an order, send 10,000 infantry to support, and relieve General Xu's pressure." ”

In this way, the door was closed, and the 10,000 infantry, which had been prepared, rushed out.

Reinforcements from the pass came, and the news reached Yan Liang, he was not surprised and said: "Very good, the soldiers in the Huguan have finally come out, which proves that they have nothing to do, where is General Lu Weihuang, I and your sergeant 20,000, the enemy will be wiped out." ”

After General Lu Weihuang received the military order, he took 20,000 people to meet him, and immediately 140,000 people were divided into two battlefields and fought. The blood of the dead soldiers soon flowed here, as if it were about to stain the land red.

With less than 20,000 soldiers' attacks, Xu Huang's pressure here has become much less, but he is still in danger, and the infantry on the periphery of 20,000 has also fought hard, seven, eight, eight, eight, and the cavalry has already jumped out, but it is impossible to give full play to its advantages in such a surrounded environment, and the whole disadvantage still exists.

Yan Liang saw that the enemy cavalry was surrounded, and he couldn't give any advantage at all, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Zhao Rui on the side: "General Zhao, Xu Huang at this time is already a turtle in the urn, do you dare to rush to kill him?" ”

Zhao Rui knew that this was Yan Liang's opportunity to make a great contribution to himself, so he immediately agreed and said, "Thank you for the general's cultivation, Rui Wang." ”

"Okay, you just have to lead the troops forward, and I'll press you down, hahaha." Yan Liang, who felt tired of being in his hands, laughed and said.

Zhao Rui also had a happy face, and went to the center of the battlefield with his own soldiers, he wanted to kill Xu Huang by taking advantage of the chaos, and such a great achievement was carried in his arms.

Zhao Rui swore to go, and soon came to the center of the battlefield, and even saw Xu Huang resisting with the Open Heaven Axe from a distance.

Zhao Rui, who felt that the great achievement was imminent, was very excited, but before he could give the order to do something, suddenly a burst of shouting and killing sounded, and then the ground under his feet was trembling, and then a large number of cavalry appeared from the direction of Luoyang, these people were all dressed in black military uniforms, and they appeared at night like ghosts.

With the arrival of the army, a banner in the distance also appeared in everyone's sight, and from a distance, it was so powerful and mighty.

"It's the general, it's the lord who is here. Brothers, warriors, the lord is coming, we will kill him. Xu Huang, who was present, had been paying attention to this direction, and now when he finally saw the appearance of the waiting person, he was immediately very excited, and the speed of the Open Heaven Axe in his hand became faster after shouting.

The Huguan guards, who were still resisting desperately, were under siege, and the morale of the army had declined, if it weren't for the fact that their main general had been showing confidence, I am afraid that these people would not be able to withstand it.

Zhang Chao's sudden appearance was like a warm current brought by the hot summer, which blew people extremely comfortable, and everyone's soldiers were also shocked by it, and for a while, the morale rose at a rapid rate, and everyone showed several times more courage than before.

Under the sudden promotion of the soldiers, the attack power of the soldiers also increased a lot, and after a period of counter-killing, nearly a thousand Yuan Shao soldiers were beheaded to the ground.

Unlike the Huguan garrison, after seeing the appearance of Zhang Chao's army, Yuan Shaojun's soldiers did panic.

originally thought that he was surrounding others, but he didn't expect that he had become the object of being surrounded. Thinking of the general's invincible and invincible posture, many soldiers began to retreat in their hearts.

Under the decline in morale and the confusion of people's hearts, coupled with the desperate counterattack of Xu Huang's army, and the sudden addition of the Dragon and Tiger Army on the periphery, Yuan Shao's army began to collapse. Some of the soldiers began to retreat without obeying the general's orders, so that a wide area appeared in front of the besieged cavalry.

The cavalry is afraid of being surrounded, and once they have the space and environment to gallop, they can play to their advantage. Now with such conditions, Xu Huang danced the axe, shouted to kill, and rushed straight in front of Zhao Rui, who could be seen in his sight.

Poor Zhao Rui thought that this was an opportunity for him to make great contributions, so he took the initiative to rush to the center of the field, but he didn't expect the battle situation to change so quickly. Seeing that the second soldier of his army was retreating, he shouted and ordered to attack, but at this time, few people would listen to him.

When Zhao Rui knew that he had no ability to turn the tide, Xu Huang was rushing towards him with a large army.

Xu Huang, who rushed over, was violent, and he was accompanied by countless cavalry, which caused the people around Zhao Rui to be afraid.

"General, withdraw." A personal soldier whispered in the ear of Zhao Rui, who was a little stunned.

"Withdraw! Where to retreat? Rush over, fight a bloody way, and rush to General Yan. Zhao Rui was afraid that Xu Huang would flee just now, so he chose the direction of the battlefield leading to Huguan, which separated him from General Yan Liang by Xu Huang. If you want to withdraw now, you can only choose to attack head-on.

Zhao Rui was ruthless, and after shouting, he led the army to rush out and greeted Xu Huang.

How much Zhao Rui wished that he could rush over with his bravery, but Xu Huang would never give him such a chance. He could have killed this person two days ago, but he didn't do that, it was completely the intention of the military advisor Xu Shu. Now that he doesn't have so many worries, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

Xu Huang strengthened his confidence, and brandished the Open Heaven Axe to face Zhao Rui and kill him.

Zhao Rui, who was holding a big sword, also wanted to fight a bloody way, but he didn't know why, and when he saw the cavalry coming with momentum on the other side, he was a little panicked.

The main general is like this, not to mention the pro-soldiers around him, in the process of facing the cavalry impact, some pro-soldiers have deliberately slowed down their footsteps and opened a certain distance behind. This makes Zhao Rui a lone person.
