Chapter 892: Retirement
Zhang Fan was noncommittal to Lu Bu's words, Guo Yuan's death made him angry, although he successfully fought the elite of the coalition army, but the price was too great, this was the first high-end military general to die in Zhang Fan's camp, which was regrettable.
Since the beginning of the expedition, although it is said that it is full of dangers and has faced a desperate situation several times, the Jizhou generals have suffered some injuries at most, and there has never been a precedent for death, but now this kind of thing has happened!
Although there will always be casualties in battle, but in any case, this is a hurdle that cannot be overcome in the heart, if it is not for the coalition forces, etc., where would the hot-blooded men in Jizhou have so many casualties, and how could Guo Yuan die in battle?
In a fit of anger, Zhang Fan didn't explain to Lu Bu at all, the Divine Dragon Breaking Sky Bow in his hand was opening and closing, constantly harvesting the lives of the coalition soldiers, in order to repay Guo Yuan's blood debt!
"General Guo Yuan, don't worry! I hereby swear that I will never let you die in vain, and I will definitely defeat the coalition army and kill you in vain! ”
This is not only Zhang Fan's thoughts, but also the voice of many Jizhou soldiers, now that the rear is temporarily safe, everyone is focused on the frontal battlefield, and the battle is more courageous and fearless of death.
On the contrary, the people in the coalition camp were panicked, they couldn't believe that the elite army sent out was really wiped out.
"Don't believe the rhetoric of the enemy!" Lu Bu didn't believe it at all, and shouted: "Gao Shun is definitely already on the way here, we only need to maintain the onslaught posture, then the Jizhou army will definitely be defeated!" ”
The soldiers of the coalition army were relieved and marched bravely, and the two armies fought fiercely, and blood bloomed on every inch of the Taihang Mountains.
The battle was in full swing, and Sun Jian just sneered and watched, there was a young general standing beside him, whose appearance was very similar to Sun Jian, and he was half a head taller than Sun Jian, and his momentum was majestic.
"Father, did you say that Gao Shun has really been defeated? That's the elite of the coalition army, and even the terrifying trapped camp, and it actually came to an end? I can't believe it! He said.
Sun Jian smiled: "I can't believe it, but you remember, don't underestimate your uncle, I fought side by side with him, his strategic wisdom is unparalleled in the world, if anyone can defeat the elite of the coalition army so quickly, I'm afraid only him!" ”
That young general is Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, and the "uncle" in Sun Jian's mouth is naturally Zhang Fan, Sun Jian trusts Zhang Fan very much, but he doesn't know that the elite of the coalition army that defeated Gao Shun actually didn't have anything to do with Zhang Fan, and everything was exchanged for Guo Yuan's life!
Sun Ce's eyes lit up and said, "If that's the case, it's amazing!" ”
After a pause, he turned to say: "The court is mediocre, listening to Lu Bu's slander, and raising troops to encircle and suppress his uncle, since my father trusts him so much, why don't you just make your position clear?" ”
Sun Jian made a gesture of silence: "The wall has ears, don't lie!" ”
He said: "I don't know about this, but the coalition army is strong after all, we are a long-distance attack, and the troops and horses we lead are not too many, I'm afraid it won't help much, it's better to wait for the opportunity in the coalition formation first, if it is really impossible, I can also design to protect your uncle, which can be regarded as a back road!" ”
Sun Ce nodded, looking at the golden armor figure in front of the battle array with a pair of bright eyes, and couldn't help but feel a strong envy in his heart: "The eldest husband should be like this, happy and hateful, affectionate and righteous!" ”
Sun Jian sighed when he heard this: "How can such a heroic man be buried here?" Remember, no matter what, you must save your uncle's life, and you must not be in the same league as Lu Bu! ”
"Father, don't worry!" Sun Ce hurriedly clenched his fists, indicating that he did not mention his heart.
The two fathers and sons were talking, but they didn't want to be heard in secret, a general was hiding beside him, with a vicious expression on his face, this was none other than Cao Xing, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command!
Cao Xing is very vicious, good at cold arrows, in history once shot an arrow to blind Xiahou Dun's left eye, is a pure villain, but his force is not bad, was cited by Lu Bu as a confidant, and sent to monitor Sun Jian Liu Bei!
In the end, Lu Bu still didn't worry about Sun Jian and Liu Bei, the positions of the two were a little unstable, especially Sun Jian, who often made remarks in favor of Zhang Fan, and refused to contribute in the battle.
Sun Jian and Sun Ce are both martial and brave generals, and they will be discovered if they stay for a long time, Cao Xing didn't dare to stay longer, and left slowly, preparing to report the matter to Lu Bu after this battle is over, and ask Lu Bu to decide.
Sun Jian's father and son are above board, they don't know anything about it, they are completely kept in the dark, and it is hard to imagine what kind of big changes they will encounter!
On the battlefield, Lu Bu led the crowd to attack for a long time, but it was unthinkable under Zhang Fan's strict defense, and he could not make a breakthrough.
"Could it be that Gao Shun has really fallen?" Even Lu Bu couldn't help but think like this in his heart, anxious, hesitant, unbelieving, and many thoughts came to his mind, making people messy.
Zhang Fanzheng was angry, and couldn't help sneering when he saw this: "The third surnamed slave, do you believe it now?" ”
Lu Bu was furious when he heard this: "The wind and clouds are chaotic, you don't want to be rampant!" In a short time, your head will be hanging on my halberd and will be displayed to the world! ”
Before Zhang Fan could speak, Wen Chou on the side had already laughed: "Really? The 100,000 elites of your coalition army can't compare to the 100,000 garrison soldiers of our army, and they were all wiped out in the rear, I really don't know what reason you have to be so arrogant? ”
Lu Buyu couldn't believe it: "Don't talk nonsense!" Before I met Gao Shun, I wouldn't believe a word! ”
Wen Chou saw the tragic situation of the camp with his own eyes, and when he was resentful, he sneered when he heard the words: "Hehe, then you will be disappointed!" Your so-called elite has been burned to ashes by a fire, and Gao Shun may have already become a charcoal, even if it is placed in front of you, I am afraid you will not recognize it! “
Lu Bu was furious and was about to answer, but was suddenly stopped by Cao Cao, only to hear Cao Cao say: "It's useless to say more!" General Gao Shun has not yet arrived, although he may not have suffered a big defeat, but after all, he was blocked, and there is no point in fighting again, it is better to collect the troops for the time being, and we will send people to the rear to investigate, and then talk about other things when there is accurate information! ”
When Lu Bu heard this, it was impossible to break through the defense line if he continued to fight today, so he snorted coldly: "If the situation is chaotic, I will make you arrogant for a few more days, and there will be a time when you cry and beg for mercy in the future!" ”
Zhang Fan looked at him with a sneer: "The general of the defeated army, if you want to get out, why talk nonsense?" ”
"You!" Lu Bu was furious, but in the end, he was persuaded by Cao Cao and others to withdraw his troops, as Cao Cao said, it is useless to fight again.
Collecting the troops and retreating, Lu Bu was indignant, when suddenly the camp tent was opened, and Cao Xing stepped in with a heavy face!
