Chapter 44: Besieged
In the early morning, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen were still enjoying the snow around them, while happily discussing something, as if they had not experienced a night's march at all.
When the army was preparing to camp and rest, a desolate horn sounded, which was a unique offensive horn of the Qiang people, and then I saw tens of thousands of Qiang troops appear on the left and right sides at some point, and surrounded Dong Zhuo's army. However, Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong's troops of the former army were far away from Dong Zhuo's headquarters because they had to keep inquiring about the news, and the Qiang people's three-sided encirclement soon became a four-sided encirclement, leaving only Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong's headquarters outside the encirclement.
In the Chinese army, Dong Zhuo was suddenly startled when he heard the desolate horn sounding, and then he saw the Qiang people surrounding, but he didn't care why the Qiang people suddenly appeared, and immediately decided: "All the soldiers, kill with me." ”
It's just that Dong Zhuo reacted quickly, but after a night of marching, both men and horses were exhausted, how could they react quickly, and when they fully reacted, they had been surrounded by the Qiang people on all sides, and the Qiang people had already killed them, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to order the generals to lead their own troops to break through, and he and Li Ru opened the way by Huaxiong and killed the front army. Dong Zhuo in the chaos still remembered that there were Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong in front of him, one of them was a top general in the army, and the other was the strongest leader in the army, Dong Zhuo felt that he was much safer with them by his side.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo's side was surrounded on all sides, the scouts came to report at this time, but it was the Qiang people who built a hill with snow, which successfully blocked the sight of the Han army scouts, so that they could not detect the ambush of the Qiang army, and finally enabled the Qiang people to successfully ambush. However, at this time, Zhang Xiu had no time to hold the scout responsible, but Zhang Xiu didn't want Dong Fatzi to hang up. So the most important thing now is to rescue Dong Zhuo, and put the rest aside.
And Xu Rong, like Zhang Xiu, felt that he wanted to rescue Dong Zhuo immediately, but what he thought was not Zhang Xiu's filthiness, but he was loyal to Dong Zhuo.
I only heard Zhang Xiu say: "Brother Xu, there is a small dirt mountain ahead, you will lead the army to line up according to the mountain, and I will go to rescue the lord." ”
Xu Rong said: "No, I will walk with Bo Yuan." ”
Zhang Xiu stopped: "No, if we go together, even if we rescue the lord, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the rout, only Brother Xu will go to Tushan to line up first, and defend according to the danger, our army will have a way to retreat." ”
Xu Rong hesitated for a moment and said: "In this way, although our army can hold it, if the Qiang people surround Tushan, then our army will not be able to escape the situation of being trapped and captured." ”
Zhang Xiu said: "I can't take care of so much, the soil and mountains are very big, and tens of thousands of troops can be stationed, and our army still has room to defend according to the soil and mountains, and there is still a glimmer of life, if the army rushes into the encirclement, there will be no life." ”
Xu Rong finally nodded after hearing this, and said, "In this way, Bo Yuan and be careful." ”
Zhang Xiuhao smiled heartily and said: "A certain layer is not afraid of breaking through in the midst of ten thousand troops, and the current situation is just like this, Brother Xu will go to the formation, prepare to meet the enemy, and go to rescue the lord." ”
Xu Rong said loudly: "Bo Yuan, remember to be careful. ”
Zhang Xiu nodded heavily, and then shouted, "Where is Hu Che'er?" ”
Hu Che'er behind flashed out and said loudly: "Young master, Hu Che'er is here." ”
Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "Okay, come with me." After speaking, he waved the tiger's head and golden spear, and Hu Che'er rushed out of the army with two horses, and headed towards the Han army surrounded by the Qiang people.
Xu Rong saw Zhang Xiu leaving, glanced at Zhang Xiu deeply, and then ordered to line up in front of the earth mountain.
Besides, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er rushed out of the two horses, and soon crashed into the encirclement of the Qiang people, the two of them were like tigers out of the gate, Zhang Xiu's hand tiger head golden gun flew up and down, a group of Qiang people fell off their horses and died, Hu Che'er wolf tooth stick waved, the Qiang people touched it either dead or injured, and the two of them killed into the army.
I saw Zhang Xiu in front, the right hand holding the gun kept shaking, stabbing out a beautiful golden spear flower, and all the Qiang people who touched these spear flowers couldn't help but cover their throats and fell off the horse, Zhang Xiu's behind Hu Che'er waved the mace in his hand left and right, and the Qiang soldiers who approached from the side flew away, firmly protecting Zhang Xiu and his own sides, so that Zhang Xiu could move forward with all his strength, without being distracted to guard left and right.
Because the Qiang people's attention was focused on the Han army in the encirclement, and they did not pay much attention to the two people who entered from behind, so the two quickly killed in, and just broke through the encirclement of the Qiang people, they saw Niu Fu leading the army to continue to rush outward. Zhang Xiu advanced with all his strength, and soon killed Niu Fu's side, and Niu Fu, who kept rushing out to kill, couldn't see Zhang Xiu who had already arrived beside him.
Zhang Xiu shouted at Niu Fu: "Niu Fu, where is the lord?" ”
Niu Fu asked a few times before he heard it, turned his head and saw Zhang Xiu next to him, he was a little startled, but he still hurriedly said: "The Qiang people surrounded it quickly, and I was separated from the lord." ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and shouted: "There are Qiang people surrounded by heavy troops, and it is difficult to rush out, and with a certain lord, they are rushing out together." ”
After all, Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and Dong Zhuo's confidant, and when he heard Zhang Xiu's words, he immediately responded: "Okay." ”
Zhang Xiu stabbed to death dozens of Qiang people in front of him with a few shots, and then raised the tiger's head golden gun and shouted: "Han army soldiers, Zhang Xiu is here, and come with so." ”
Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong are the stars of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, and Zhang Xiu's prestige is better than Hua Xiong, although Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong compete in martial arts without winning or losing, but Zhang Xiu's performance on the battlefield is better than Hua Xiong, and the soldiers who rushed to kill him basically have each gained, and there are not many casualties, so the Han army, including the Northern Army and Zhang Wen's troops, all know Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's tiger head golden gun is very clear. Now that the soldiers were surrounded by the enemy, they could hear Zhang Xiu's words, and when they saw his iconic spear, they immediately had the backbone, and some soldiers who were far away also rushed towards Zhang Xiu after seeing Zhang Xiu's tiger-headed golden spear.
Zhang Xiu led some remnants of the army, and rode forward first, followed by Hu Che'er and Niu Fu, as if they had just begun to rush into the encirclement, Hu Che'er protected Zhang Xiu's left and right, and Niu Fu took care of the army behind.
With Zhang Xiu taking the lead, the Han army's rush to kill is not as difficult as Fang Cai, and the Han army has Zhang Xiu as the backbone, not as scattered as Fang Cai, and Niu Fu can be valued by Dong Zhuo, naturally has its outstanding place, at least the soldiers of the Han army who have gathered their military heart have finally begun to wield their due combat effectiveness under the command of Zhang Xiu and Niu Fu, and they are no longer as one-sided as when they were first surrounded.
