Dong Zhuo thought about many scenarios of being defeated by the Eighteenth Route Alliance, worried that the coalition army would advance together, worried that Xu Huang and Yang Fengdu would go south to seize Hangu, so he forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an. But he definitely didn't expect that the reputation was not as good as that of the Yuan Shao brothers, the bravery was not as good as Sun Jian, and the immature thief captain had grown to such a point in two years. He kept sending the Overseers forward, but the result was that they were repulsed on three sides one after another, and the entire army formation was constantly squeezed and retreated inward.

More than 30,000 people no longer have any formations, crowded within a radius of several miles, fighting desperately. An hour passed, but Lu Bu did not come, and Hu Zhen's reinforcements did not arrive. Two hours passed, Dong Zhuo's phalanx was compressed again, and there were nearly 15,000 infantry and cavalry placed outside Yique Pass by Dong Zhuo of Gao Shun and Cao Xing's department, of which nearly 7,000 were cavalry, and there were less than 10,000 people since early morning.

Two hours passed, and the news came from Lu Bu's side that he was pursued all the way by Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Xu Rong, and Lu Bu directly entered Yanshi City, relying on the city to stalemate with the enemy. Lu Bu said that although he was driven away from the battlefield, Xu Rong, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were also restrained by him???????????????? If the two or three of the middle divisions are going to rush to Yique Pass, he will lead his troops to defeat the troops left outside the Yanshi City first and then continue to follow, simply put, to contain each other. Although this is not what Dong Zhuo wants, it is also a helpless way to use Lu Bu to drag the main force of the opponent's cavalry in this situation.

There was also news from Hu Zhen's side, Sun Jian was about to break the pass, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements arrived, so Hu Zhen recalled the reinforcements halfway, and intuitively Dong Zhuo felt that Yuan Shu could not send reinforcements to support Sun Jian at this time, but Hu Zhen was his confidant general, if it wasn't for the critical situation in Taigu, Hu Zhen would definitely not recall the reinforcements halfway. There is a possibility that Wei Xuan's team supporting Sun Jian pretended to be Yuan Shu, but there were too few defenders in Taigu Pass, and Hu Zhen did not dare to send troops out of the pass to test.

Soon the last thing Dong Zhuo wanted to see happened, Wei Xuanqin led four thousand infantry to appear in the rear of his own flank. This was to prepare to close on all sides and block his way back to Yique Pass. Dong Zhuo didn't understand why Wei Xuan was able to raise so many soldiers and horses in just a few months, and he didn't understand why these soldiers and horses didn't seem to be able to tell where the rabble was, and almost all of them were elites.

Of course, Dong Zhuo couldn't watch himself being surrounded on all sides, because there was no one in Yique Pass, if Wei Xuan could still send three or five thousand people to directly attack Yique Pass at this time, then the entire defense line would be meaningless.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo had to personally go into battle and lead some of the soldiers to resist the threat from the rear.

It's just that soon Dong Zhuo felt the pressure, Wei Xuan brought out all the strength that Wei Zheng and Huang Zhong left to defend the camp, and seeing that the other parts were making meritorious contributions on the battlefield, these people were also red-eyed, and when they heard that Wei Xuan was going to take them out in person, they rushed to the battlefield with a roar. In the face of the two thousand Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side, they had abundant physical strength and full self-confidence. Soon, like the other three sides, Dong Zhuo's counterattack was pressed back.

At the same time, all the lieutenants and Sima Junhou on Wei Xuan's side received the news that Wei Xuan led his troops into battle in person, and while they were surprised, they also made up their minds to defeat the frontal enemy as soon as possible. The first to achieve the effect was the two wings, Tai Shi Ci relied on the advantage of special forces to meet the cavalry on the Mo sword soldiers, and when he encountered the infantry, he on the divine arm bow, and he had already advanced three or four hundred steps. The whole team was like a hollow word in Dong Zhuo's army formation.

On the other side, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Du Peng and other Chinese generals heard that Wei Xuan was leading people to block the back road made by the animation, and they also went straight to Dong Zhuo's avenue with red eyes.

The two parts of the centaur cut into a corner of the phalanx like two new sharp knives, rushing towards the position where Dong Zhuo and Wei Xuan were facing each other, and the rear of Dong Zhuo's army formation was squeezed like this and gradually became overwhelmed. Dong Zhuo finally sighed and decided to withdraw to Yique Pass under the strong persuasion of his own soldiers.

Niu Fu was an ancestor who received the news, and he was responsible for leading the cavalry to storm Wei Xuan's infantry phalanx to open the way for the whole army, and then Dong Zhuo's army retreated like a tide.

Dong Zhuo's avenue has been stared at by Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, seeing that Dong Zhuo was about to retreat, the two of them each charged all the way with the elite, Wei Yan, Wen Ping and Li Yan and others in front of them also quickly saw Dong Zhuo's actions, so a big battle of retreat and pursuit was staged again, the Xiliang soldiers were desperate to escape, Dong Zhuo fought and retreated, when night fell, he finally entered the Yique Pass safely, when Niu Fu entered with the cavalry, the people below came to report the battle???????????????? Of the 13,000 men, plus the 2,000 infantry sent by Lu Bu, less than 8,000 people managed to enter the Yique Pass, more than 4,000 were killed in battle, and all the rest became prisoners.

When Dong Zhuo was worried, Niu Fu brought him bad news, Wei Xuan had already sent people to block the door overnight, and it was the kind of crane wing array that was used in Yuyuan Pass, but this time it was not the cavalry that blocked the door but Tai Shici's Mo sword soldiers and longbow soldiers.

The original 7,000 cavalry of Yique Pass suffered the greatest losses in the first battle today, and only more than 4,000 people returned to the pass, of which nearly 1,000 were wounded.

For a while, Dong Zhuo didn't have a good way, so he thought about whether to wait for dawn to see if Lu Bu could get rid of Zhang Liao and the others, or if Hu Zhen could fight off Sun Jian.

But Wei Xuan didn't give him the plan to spend the night in Yique Pass, the crane wing array was followed by two infantry phalanxes, and then there was a crunching and crunching sound that Niu Fu was very familiar with in the dark, which was the prelude to the giant catapult ready to launch, Niu Fu really didn't expect Wei Xuan's determination to attack so strongly. Although Dong Zhuo's various blocks were defeated one by one in the daytime battle, Wei Xuan's losses were actually not small.

Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "Is it that kind of catapult?" Let them smash it, how long will this Yique Pass last? ”

Niu Fu thought for a while and said: "In one hour, the city gate tower will be destroyed and no one will be able to stand, and in three hours, there will be no formation on the city wall." It is estimated that one of the sections can be directly smashed in a day and night! ”

Dong Zhuo: "......"

For a long time, Dong Zhuo watched the busy Wei Xuan army in the dark night approaching Yique Pass in an orderly manner, and from the light, he could see that Wei Xuan was arranging layer by layer, and planned to attack the city overnight. He finally realized that the young man in front of him had grown to a height he had never expected. However, Dong Zhuo still planned to see how powerful Wei Xuan's catapult was.

Crunchy. The sound got closer and louder, and finally piles of ignited debris were thrown into the gate, and two rounds later, the gate tower and some buildings in the pass were set on fire, and then the boulder smashed towards the gate tower.

Wei Xuan did not disappoint Dong Zhuo, in less than half an hour, the city gate tower was smashed by a boulder, Dong Zhuo had to stand on the first floor of the city tower with a gloomy face and said to several captains and Sima: "The old man wants to organize a counterattack, the infantry is in front, after the breakthrough, Niu Fu you lead the cavalry to destroy those catapults." ”

Niu Fu wanted to persuade the distorted old face that looked up and saw the reflection of the firelight but gave up, he knew that this was also Dong Zhuo's punishment for his loss of the Yuanyuan Pass.

Niu Fu turned around and was about to go down the city wall to prepare the cavalry, but he saw a scout running up in a hurry, glanced at Niu Fu and then knelt down directly in front of Dong Zhuo: "Yu Taishi, Xu Huang and Yang Feng led 8,000 troops to attack Mengjin early this morning, Li Xiaowei led his troops to resist desperately, the two sides fought fiercely for a day, and Mengjin was lost in the evening!" ”

Niu Fu, who was about to leave, almost fell down when he heard this, and the generals around Dong Zhuo also widened their eyes one by one with a look of horror!

Dong Zhuo's distorted face seemed to return to normal, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Wei Zhongdao, good boy, he is worthy of being a disciple of the Hedong Wei family, and he is worthy of being a disciple of Zheng Kanggong!" Hahaha......"

Ushisuke turned around with difficulty???????????????? Come and walk a few steps quickly to Dong Zhuo and whisper tentatively: "Taishi, Mengjin is lost, Luoyang is only garrisoned by 2,000 soldiers, and it will definitely fall into the hands of Xu Huang during the day tomorrow, if he takes Luoyang and goes straight to Hangu Pass......"

Dong Zhuo glanced at Niu Fu and kept his smile: "The old man is not crazy, today's situation is better than being besieged by the Tieqiang League in Liangzhou that day." It's just that I don't know what year and month I will be able to return to Luoyang after retreating this time. ”

The generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Dong Zhuo was indeed not crazy, they were really worried that Dong Zhuo would go crazy, so they let them go out of the customs and fight with Wei Xuan, and now listening to Dong Zhuo's tone, it seems that they are ready to withdraw the army.

Dong Zhuo took everyone's expressions in his eyes, sighed and said, "Order Dong Yue, Fan Chou, and Hu Zhen to retreat to Hangu. The herald ordered Lü Bu to lead the Yanshi army back to Chang'an.

The herald ordered the three armies to cook for the second watch, and the third watch to set off, and the whole army to withdraw to Chang'an! ”

There was silence on the city wall, and they all understood that although Dong Zhuo still had the strength to fight, if the army was to fight with Wei Xuan here, Dong Zhuo would not be able to control the Chang'an court, let alone deal with the threat of the Qiang people.

Of course, more people are worried that they will be attacked by Wei Xuan tonight, and they will have to fight with Wei Xuan's army overnight. During the day, the Xiliang elite, who was known as invincible in the world, basically had no actual combat experience against Wei Xuan's team, except for some advantages at the beginning, and after the opponent's military formation stabilized, they faced no matter whether it was individual combat power or willpower, or the cooperation of the military formation, they were not lost to the Xiliang soldiers at all.

In terms of morale, their Xiliang soldiers were already at a disadvantage, and now that they were blocked and closed, many people naturally remembered the fiasco of Niu Fu in Yuyuan Pass, and the embarrassment of Lu Bu of the Monkey Clan. How similar is it tonight?

Rat, Dong Zhuo, every time, those soldiers who can go directly back to Chang'an are even more happy in their hearts, because they have been treating themselves as Ke Jun since they came to Luoyang, and now they can finally return to the familiar Guanzhong.

Dong Zhuo did not feel relaxed at all, not only worried that he would never have the chance to return to Luoyang again, but also worried about whether Mingzhen, Niu Fu and others could successfully get rid of the pursuers, and even more worried about whether Lu Bu would be ordered to return to Chang'an.
