Chapter 85 The defeat of Sun Jian and the death of Zu Mao
That Hu Zhen was unlucky, he thought that the enemy generals he met this time were all on the same level as Bao Zhong. I also want to brush up on the merit value in front of Bishui Pass, so that I can make a name for myself in front of Dong Zhuo and achieve some meritorious deeds. As soon as Hu Zhen led his troops to rush down to the city, Sun Jian's general Cheng Pu flew his horse and raised his spear and came straight to Hu Zhen.
The two couldn't fight, and Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen in the throat, and Hu Zhen's dead body fell under the horse. That Sun Jian even seized the fighter plane and waved his army to the front of Bishui Pass. The guards on the tower of the city were even more arrows and stones, and they threw them down towards Sun Jian's army. Sun Jian's army attacked the city in a hurry, just to attack the enemy unprepared. But as soon as Sun Jian saw the reaction of the army above the city tower, he knew that he was invincible.
So Sun Jian made a quick decision, so Mingjin collected his troops and returned to Liangdong with his subordinates. He knew that he couldn't take this water pass in a hurry, so he asked someone to report to Yuan Shao, and went to Yuan Shu to urge some grain and grass by the way. That Yuan Shu only gave himself half a month's military rations, and seeing that the grain and grass were about to be exhausted, Sun Jian naturally couldn't wait for the opportunity any longer.
Originally, Sun Jian wanted to win Bishui Pass in one fell swoop, and he won the victory. But I didn't expect that the guards of Bishui Pass would not leave the city at all, and would not give themselves a chance to fight quickly, how should this be good? If you want to use these military horses in your hands to forcibly attack the city, then you will inevitably suffer countless casualties. If it was someone else's soldiers, Sun Jian would not be distressed. But these are his own pro-army guards, how could Sun Jian be willing to let them desperately attack the city?
When Yuan Shao received Sun Jianjun's good news, he was naturally overjoyed, and began to publicize it. Yuan Shao ordered people to spread the good news to all battalions and villages, all of which publicized the battle of Sun Jianjun's killing of Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen. Sent to Gongsun Zhan, Chen Yong's subordinates, whether it was Liu Xing, Fang Ming, or Li Meng, were all gearing up and eager to try. Chen Yong knew that he was tied to Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan did not seize the position of pioneer officer, so he could only watch from the side.
When Sun Jian's personal soldiers came to Yuan Shu's place and asked for military rations, a person came out of Yuan Shu's side. This person walked up to Yuan Shu and whispered, "Sun Jian is a Jiangdong Tiger; If Luoyang is broken, he will kill Dong Zhuo again, and he will get rid of the wolf and get the tiger.
If you don't have food and grass with it today, the other army will not be the opponent of Dong Zhuo's army in front of Bishui Pass, so the general will inevitably have a strong opponent. The lord has a far-sighted vision, and if he wants to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future, how can he be Yuan Benchu and his ilk who can guess the meaning? ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he was very happy in his heart, so he did not distribute grain and grass to Sun Jianbu. Sun Jian's personal guards knew that the lord had been targeted, but he also had no way to do it. had to return to the place where Liang Dong was guarding alone, and reported Yuan Shu's refusal to distribute grain and grass to the lord. Sun Jianjun was short of food, and the Jiangdong army he brought would naturally be dissatisfied, and the officers and soldiers in the army would naturally be chaotic and complaining.
The meticulous work of the Bishui Pass summarized the news that he had heard in the past few days and reported it to the Guan. Although Hua Xiong was arrogant, he also knew that Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army was brave and good at fighting, and it was invincible. When he was secretly planning how to win, Li Su walked up to Hua Xiong and offered him a plan.
Li Su said: "The governor of Huadu is very happy, although Sun Jianjun is brave and good at fighting, God helps me." These princes could not work together and constrained each other, resulting in a temporary shortage of food for Sun Jian's army. I have verified the truth of the news reported in detail, and tonight I, Li Su, am willing to lead a military horse all the way, go down the pass from the small road, and sneak attack the rear village of Sun Jian's army. Please also ask the general to lead another army and horses to attack its front village, and Sun Jian will be captured! ”
Huaxiong was overjoyed and thought it was a plan. It was only in the evening that the governor of Huadu ordered the three armies to let 20,000 soldiers eat a full meal for the war, and the soldiers on a moonlit night were divided into two ways and stole down the Bishui Pass from both sides. Then order the soldiers defending the city to be sure to defend the city and not be negligent! You must always be on the castle tower, and you can not relax your guard until you return to the city. The general who defended the city was ordered, and he led the army to climb the city tower of Bishui Pass and make every effort to prevent it.
It was the night when the moon was white and the wind was clear, and Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to wrap the horses' hooves in cloth, just because he was afraid that the sound of the march would be too loud, which would alarm Sun Jian's defenders and make them take precautions. When I arrived outside the village of Desun Jian, it was already the middle of the night. Hua Xiong ordered the army to wait until the third watch, and after the agreed time with Li Su, he marched forward with a clamor and launched a fierce attack on Sun Jianjun's camp!
Sun Jian was depressed in his heart, and he was also dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance. His army is already short of food, and it is about to cause the army's morale to be weakened, how can Sun Jian not know? It's just that he is now the commander of the three armed forces, and he is not allowed to leave the camp without permission. Otherwise, he would have gone back to Yuan Shao in person to ask for an explanation. Is this the Governor's Commissariat personally appointed by your Alliance Commander? If the three armies want to have a good one this time, my grandson will not give up!
At this moment, the sound of rapid war drums came from outside the camp gate, and the shouts of killing were already soaring to the sky. Sun Jian was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly put on his clothes, put on his horse, and rushed out of the barracks. It was encountered that Hua Xiong led an army of 10,000 to attack the camp. The soldiers of Sun Jian's army heard that the military rations were about to run out, and the guards sent back by the general to urge the grain did not bring back a large number of grain trucks and horses when they returned, but they came quietly by themselves.
Therefore, whether it is the army guarding the camp or the generals and colonels who are resting, they are all dissatisfied in their hearts. Everyone is worried that they will fight bloodily in front, but they will be completely betrayed by others as if they were fools. This is a coalition army gathered by the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and it is not for the Lord Sun Jian to fight for the world. No matter how much territory you have down, no matter how hard you work for these people, what are you doing in the end? Isn't it to be cheaper for someone else?
This dissatisfaction fluctuated, and the sergeants in the camp naturally lost their morale. The two armies fought and the brave won, and at this time, Sun Jianjun had no fighting spirit at all, so how could he be the opponent of Huaxiong Huadudu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry? The camp of Sun Jian's army was directly broken through by the army led by Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong led the army into the camp of Sun Jian's army, and it happened that Hua Xiong was meeting Sun Jian who rushed out of the barracks.
When the two met at this time, they were naturally very red-eyed. The two horses intersected, and the fight lasted only a few rounds, and Li Su had already led the army to kill them. Then Li Su led the army from the back village, he didn't think about having a hard fight with Sun Jianjun at all, but ordered his sergeants to set fire to the company camp together!
When Li Su left the city, he deliberately brought sulfur smoke and nitrate, which was used at this time. Li Su led a sentry to rush into the back of Sun Jianjun's village, and then set a fire to the sky.
Sun Jianjun had lost his fighting spirit, and now the back village is even on fire in the camp, and it is a fire! These soldiers were even more vigorous and jumping, and the camp was in chaos in an instant. The generals of Sun Jian's army had to fight separately, and they couldn't find where the lord Sun Jian was.
Only Zu Mao followed Sun Jian, and he saw that the camp was on fire, and all the soldiers began to break through and flee. Zu Mao rushed to the horse, brandished the double knife in his hand, and blocked Hua Xiong's big knife. Zu Mao hurriedly asked the lord Sun Jian to flee quickly, and Sun Jian knew that he was invincible to Huaxiong's male soldiers, so he had to turn his horse's head, break through the siege and flee away.
Behind Hua Xiong Shezu Mao led the army to chase, Sun Jian saw that Hua Xiong was chasing closer, so he reached out and took off the big bow on his back, and released two arrows in a row with his backhand. The two arrows that were suddenly sent out were dodged by Hua Xiong. When Sun Jian released the third arrow, he pulled his magpie bow because he was too strong.
Sun Jian had no choice but to abandon his bow and flee. However, the pursuers led by Hua Xiong were in hot pursuit, and no matter where Sun Jian fled, he was closely pursued by Hua Xiong's army. Sun Jian has already run away and is sleepy and tired, and if he continues to run away like this, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who are lonely, are very likely to be caught up by Hua Xiong's army, so what should I do?
Zu Mao quickly whipped his horse and hurriedly urged the horse behind him to rush over. Zu Mao shouted loudly: "Lord, the red helmet on your head is too eye-catching, and it has been recognized by the Xiliang Military Academy. The lord can take off the curtain and wear a certain one, I can lead the enemy army to pursue me, and you can find a way to get out of here. ”
Sun Jian took off his hat and changed Mao, and put his red helmet on Zu Mao's head. Sun Jian and Zu Mao began to flee left and right in front of everyone. The Huaxiong Xiliang army only looked at the red people to chase after them, and in the night, only the people wearing red silk helmets were more dazzling and easy to be seen. Naturally, they flocked to chase Zu Mao together.
Sun Jian saw that there was an opportunity, so he escaped from the small road and fled. Zu Mao was not so lucky, he was chased by Huaxiong's army, so he hung his red helmet on the inexhaustible pillars of the courtyard, but he hid in the woods next to him. By this time, Zu Mao believed that the lord Sun Jian had already escaped, and he knew that it was impossible for him to escape from the pursuit of Huaxiong's army, so he came up with this method to break the net......
Hua Xiong led the army under the moon, and saw the red curtain in the front courtyard. They surrounded the place on all sides, but they did not dare to come near. Everyone knows that Sun Jian and Sun Wentai are brave, and at this time, he will definitely do the battle of the trapped beast. So Hua Xiong ordered the soldiers to shoot it with bows and arrows, but under the random fire of arrows, they hit several arrows, but they did not see the red helmet fall to the ground.
Hua Xiong knew that it was a plan, so he took the red helmet forward, and he jumped like thunder, wah, yay, scream. When Na Zumao heard Hua Xiong scolding his lord Sun Jian, he was naturally angry, so he was so easy for Lin Hou to kill, he brandished his double knives, wanting to split Hua Xiong under the horse!
How can Hua Xiong be matched by Zu Mao, who is sleepy and lacking in horses? Directly Hua Xiong shouted, the big knife in his hand danced round, and a force split Hua Mountain, Zu Mao was cut under the horse by Hua Xiong! Hua Xiong's knife was full of strength, and Zu Mao was split in half by Hua Xiong! Hua Xiong slashed and killed Zu Mao, and he was not angry, so he surrounded and intercepted the troops, slashing and killing these Jiangdong military horses that could be seen.
Killed until the light of day, Hua Xiongfang led his troops back and went straight to Bishui Pass. He knew that his generals were already sleepy at this time, and if he continued to pursue like this, it was very likely that he would be defeated. What's more, Hua Xiong is also worried that someone will sneak attack Bishui Pass, he is the commander of the three armies, if he loses the pass, it will be a big crime......
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others came around looking for Sun Jian, and when they were beating their horses and whipping and running, they were also slowly gathering the scattered and defeated Jiangdong Army. Those Jiangdong warriors who were blinded by the fire woke up like a dream at this time, and they slowly gathered under these generals Soon Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang gathered together, and they were even more anxious, worried that something would happen to the lord Sun Jian.
When the three of them were looking for Sun Jian, they found Zu Maozhi's body in the woods, which had been split in half. They asked the sergeants to collect the two halves of Zu Mao's body, put it on horseback, and look around for the lord. It was not easy for them to find Sun Jian who was far away, and these horses cried with joy.
Then they packed up their horses and set up camp. When Sun Jian saw Zu Mao's corpse, he knew that he was chasing after Hua Xiongjun in order to save himself, and he ended up like this. Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, was sad and grief-stricken. I only heard him scream: "Kill me!" ”
and planted himself under the horse......
