Chapter Seventy-Two: Wentai Escapes

Sun Jian and Hua Xiong, knives and knives, fighting together, the knife skills of the two are refined from the battle array, murderous, more timid people, I am afraid that they can be hurt even if they look at it from a distance, and the Ling Gang aura generated by the two of them is even within a radius of ten zhang, not an inch of grass is born, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if it is the Xiliang Jingqi under the command of the two or the Jiangdong soldiers, once they get close, they will not escape being strangled by Gangqi.

The area centered on the two of them soon vacated a large area, but the war was not limited to the two of them, Zhao Cen, the deputy general of Bishui Pass, saw that the two were eager to distinguish the victory and defeat, and immediately commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to cover up, and on the other side, as Sun Jian's deputy general, Huang Gaisheng was afraid that Sun Jian would be invincible, and seeing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry launched, he immediately commanded the Jiangdong soldiers behind him to charge.

Two teams of people, in terms of the rank of the troops, the Jiangdong soldiers at the peak of the sixth order are undoubtedly half a chip higher than the sixth-order elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has the advantage of restraint in the troops, under normal circumstances, it can crush the opponent, but in terms of generals, it has suffered a loss, Sun Jian's subordinates, there are Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao four generals, and Hua Xiong's side, in addition to Hua Xiong, there is only one Zhao Cen.

Zhao Cen has good martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, and follows Dong Zhuo to fight with the Qiang people in Xiliang all the year round, and he is by no means an amateur in leading troops to fight, but it also depends on who he compares with, the four generals behind Sun Jian, although they are still unknown now, but Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang, who are the pillar figures who swept Jiangdong with Sun Ce in the future and established the Eastern Wu regime, although Zu Mao just appeared in history, he was hung up, but he was able to be valued by Sun Jian, and he was ranked with the other three, and his ability was naturally not bad. The four of them joined forces, although they were not the main generals and could not bless their own commanding ability to the troops, but the battle formation was more flexible, and they well overcame the disadvantages caused by the mutual restraint of the troops.

The two elite soldiers collided together like two torrents, but there was no one-sided slaughter as Hua Xiong imagined. Eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers, with flesh and blood, the terrifying impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was resolved, and in Huaxiong's battle career, it was the first time that the number of soldiers was not much different, and the infantry would block the invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The shouting became more and more intense, the two elite soldiers were stalemate, and seeing an elite of their own family falling, Sun Jian and Hua Xiong's hearts were dripping blood. The two roared in unison, and slashed out, and the war horse couldn't withstand the impact of the confrontation between the two, and retreated in unison.

Hua Xiong let out a roar, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry began to retreat, and as Hua Xiong retreated to Guanzhong, Sun Jian did not pursue, and almost at the same time Ming Jin withdrew his troops. The army retreated ten miles to the village, and after the war, the two counted the losses. Just this short confrontation caused the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Jiangdong soldiers to lose one percent, and this loss, whether it was Hua Xiong or Sun Jian, was bleeding from their hearts.

Although there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in Bishui Pass, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the elite of the Xiliang Army. In total, it is just that, on weekdays, it is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and this time it is also because Huaxiong wants to guard Bishui Pass, so he assigned 5,000 people to him. If you die, you will have one less, and if you want Dong Zhuo to allocate another batch, it is definitely a dream.

And Sun Jian is even more miserable, Hua Xiong still has the entire Dong Zhuo's Xiliang force behind him as support, and his 8,000 soldiers are almost all of Sun Jian's family background, and every casualty is cut in his heart.

In the end, in this first battle, Hua Xiong first beheaded Bao Zhong, defeated his 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then fought a fierce battle with Sun Jian, breaking the deputy general Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen was also in the chaos, was seriously injured by Zu Mao, and in a short time, he was unable to participate in the battle.

On the side of the princes, Bao Xin left only 3,000 men and horses to stay in the camp in order to grab the merit, and the rest of the horses were sent to follow Bao Zhong to seize the pass, but who knew that the result was that the whole army was wiped out, and this road was wasted.

The intersection of the two parties can be regarded as an undefeated and invincible situation, but Bishui broke two generals in succession, so that Hua Xiong had no available people in his hands for a while, and immediately sent someone to Luoyang to ask for help in the starry night.

Although Sun Jian failed to break through the Bishui Pass in one fell swoop, he also stabilized his position, and at the same time, Sun Jian also felt that there was Huaxiong to defend it, and it was difficult to break through the Bishui Pass in an eagerness.

Of course, the two sides did not stop fighting because of this, and although there was no big battle in the past few days, small frictions continued, and the two sides won and lost each other.

On this day, Hua Xiong was inspecting the city defense, and suddenly someone shot a letter from under the city, there were only a few numbers on the letter, no signature, no payment, Hua Xiong looked at the letterhead, but laughed loudly: "It seems that among the princes, it is not a monolith, come to someone, gather Xiliang Iron Cavalry, tonight, I will behead Sun Jian!" ”

The new deputy general Li Su took the letterhead, there were only six words on it, 'Sun Jian has been short of food for a few days', his face couldn't help but hesitate, looked at Hua Xiong, hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Sun Jian is cheating, if the other side is really short of food, why don't I close the door and not come out, within three days, we will see!" ”

Li Su is far inferior to Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen in terms of martial arts, but he is cautious and a little quick-witted, and he is considered to be one of the few strategist-type talents under Dong Zhuo, except for Li Ru.

"Wencai rest assured, I have my own measure! The fighter plane is fleeting, if you are timid, what can you talk about sweeping the world for the Taishi. Hua Xiong said with a smile, and at the same time asked people to take their own big knives and prepare to go down to the city for a decisive battle.

"Since the general has made up his mind, why not divide the soldiers and horses into two waves, one in front and one behind, if there is really an ambush, there will be a response to each other!" Seeing that Hua Xiong's mind had been decided, Li Su knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he made another offer.

Although Hua Xiong felt a little unhappy, he also knew that it was a matter of safety in Bishui Pass, and he couldn't be sloppy, so he nodded and agreed, allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses to Li Su to suppress the formation, and rode out of the city with Xiliang Tie.

"My lord, the army has been out of food for three days, and the soldiers have many complaints, if it is not resolved, I am afraid that our army will have to retreat." In Sun Jian's handsome tent, Huang Gai came to Sun Jian's side worriedly and said worriedly.

"Damn!" Sun Jian smashed his fist on the table, and said hatefully: "Yuan Shu dog thief, we are the vanguard of his Yuan family, we are not grateful, but secretly withhold grain and grass, tomorrow I will go to the alliance leader and reason!" Tell the soldiers, let everyone endure for another day, if there is no result tomorrow, we will retire from the army, this nest, who loves to accept who accepts, Sun will not be accompanied! ”

"What I'm most worried about now is that if Hua Xiong takes the opportunity to attack, with the current morale of our army, I am afraid that he will not be the opponent of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry." Huang Gai smiled bitterly.

"Alas, inform all departments, pull out the camp tomorrow, retreat thirty miles, and wait for me to ask for military rations, and then make plans." Sun Jian obviously had similar worries, and there was also a sense of sadness on his face when he heard this, he was in high spirits and snatched the position of this pioneer, who would have thought that this would be the result in the end, when he thought of Yuan Shu's hateful face, Sun Jian's heart was burning with anger.

"Huh?"

The conversation between the two of them suddenly sounded at the same time, and although it was not obvious, they both felt a slight tremor on the ground at the same time, a frequency that did not seem to resemble the movement of a night watchman.

"Not good!"

After a moment of silence, the faces of the two changed at the same time, they were really afraid of anything, and hurriedly walked out of the camp, but saw that under the darkness of the night, the closed gate of the village was rudely knocked open, and the Xiliang Iron Horse swept like a torrent, and the soldiers who patrolled the night did not even have time to react, they were crushed by countless iron hooves and trampled into meat sauce.

"Enemy attack, give me up!" Sun Jian took over the weapon and war horse from his subordinates, and didn't care about saying more, his legs clamped the horse's belly, galloped out, and went straight to Huaxiong.

"Haha, Sun Wentai, tonight is your death!" Seeing Sun Jian's panicked response, Hua Xiong grinned, the war horse under his crotch accelerated suddenly, and the narrow blade crossed a strange curve under the moonlight, and before Sun Jian could play, a knife had already been slashed.

Sun Jian hurriedly raised the knife, only to hear the crisp sound of his life, the huge force poured in along the handle of the knife, the ancient ingot knife almost flew out of his hand, and he couldn't be surprised, Huaxiong's second knife had already been chopped, this time he was prepared, not like before, but the blood in his chest was churning.

Huaxiong was stopped by Sun Jian, but the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not stop, it was divided into two, bypassing the place where the two were fighting, throwing the torches in their hands to the tents one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the huge military camp was shrouded in firelight, and many Jiangdong soldiers did not even know what was happening, so they were burned alive in their tents.

Seeing the continuous fire in the barracks, Sun Jian's heart couldn't help but become more and more irritable, his heart was confused, and his knife skills gradually became messy, and Hua Xiong saw an opportunity, slashed into the knife light, slashed at Sun Jian's chest, and made a piercing impact, the armor on Sun Jian's chest was obviously not ordinary, and he forcibly blocked Hua Xiong's knife, but the force that penetrated through the body made him feel as if his five organs were displaced, and for a while, he couldn't use half of his strength.

Over there, Hua Xiong saw that a knife failed to make a contribution, and he was not discouraged, and another knife was volleyed down.

Seeing that the other party's sword light was getting closer and closer, his body couldn't exert half of his strength, and he could only watch the blade slash towards his neck.

"Lord, go quickly!" Seeing that Sun Jian's life was in danger, a military general suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, grabbed the horse, stopped in front of Sun Jian, and shouted sharply, "I'll stop him!" ”

"Daiei!" Sun Jian naturally knew how powerful Hua Xiong was, and seeing that Zu Mao was desperately stopping in front of him, every move and style was the same way of playing, he was in a hurry, and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Huang Gai and others.

"Lord, go quickly!" Huang Gai and Cheng Pu supported Sun Jian on the left and right, joined forces with Han Dang, and forcibly opened a bloody road and fled.

"Give me death!" Seeing Sun Jian fleeing, Hua Xiong was furious, and the big knife in his hand turned into a series of sharp knives, slashing down like a storm.

Zu Mao gritted his teeth and held on eighteen knives, seeing Sun Jian fleeing, his heart was relieved, his body was weak, the steel gun that had been deformed in his hand could no longer be held, and he fell to the ground, but his body was stiff and motionless on the horse.

"It's a loyal and righteous man, come here, bring this person's body back, and bury it thickly!" Looking at Zu Mao's corpse, Hua Xiong sighed, and after giving an order, he looked in the direction of Sun Jian, this time he defeated Sun Jian's camp in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a brilliant victory, but unfortunately, failing to kill Sun Jian is a bit of a fly in the ointment.
