Chapter 222: Heavenly Street Tramples on the Bones of the Princesses (5)
A few days later, Dong Zhuo personally led a large army out of the city and went straight to Pingyin City north of Luoyang.
Pingyin City is not far from Mengjin Pass, and they are both important gateways to Luoyang in the north.
Although Dong Zhuo was quite arrogant in front of Li Ru that day, in the end, he was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years.
In the marching army, wearing a full body armor and stomach, Hua Xiong, who rode his horse in front, danced the big axe in his hand from time to time.
He has followed Dong Zhuo since he was in Liangzhou, and he has been fighting in the battle array for many years, but I am afraid that even he can't remember it.
Every time he follows Dong Zhuo to fight, he must be a pioneer, and he can always break through the formation and take the lead every time.
It's just that over the years, I don't know if his ability has grown too much, or if there are fewer and fewer heroes in the world, and on the battle array, he has not met an opponent who can give him a little fighting spirit for a long time.
Originally, I thought that at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, there were countless heroes, and this time I could most likely meet some heroes who made his blood boil, but now that I think about it, he still overestimates these so-called "heroes" in the Central Plains.
Sure enough, the heroes of the world are all in the borderland, and they are all in their Liangzhou.
Thinking of this, Hua Xiong looked sideways at a middle-aged general on the side, and said with a smile: "Aji, I heard that this Lu Bu has always been famous for his bravery, and I don't know if this person is really capable, or just a false appearance." β
The middle-aged general on the side has a simple face, and if he takes off his armor and walks in the countryside, most of them will make people think of him as an ordinary farmer.
This person is a fellow villager of Huaxiong, and the Han Dynasty was extremely important to the township party, even in Liangzhou, so this person has an excellent relationship with Huaxiong.
Hua Xiong is famous in the army for his bravery, and this person is also extremely famous in Dong Zhuo's army.
Just because he has an extremely beautiful wife.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji smiled when he heard this: "There are many vain people under the fame, and then Lu Bu can be famous in a state, and he also has some real skills." It's just that even if he has some skills, it doesn't matter, he is definitely not your opponent. I have been in the army for half my life, but I have never seen a person who can beat you Hua Gongming. β
The reason why Hua Xiong asked Zhang Ji was to get his answer, and he nodded with a smile when he heard this, "Ah Ji knows me, no matter whether the state army has tricks or not, now I hope that Lu Bu's ability is greater." When the time comes, whether it is a battlefield fight or a private exchange, so that it can be interesting. After all, it is also a kind of loneliness to not have an opponent for too long. β
After Hua Xiong spoke, a young general beside Zhang Ji showed some anger and wanted to step forward, but Zhang Ji turned his head and glared at him, and this person retreated to Zhang Ji's horse.
Hua Xiong happened to notice the young man behind Zhang Ji at this time, and said with a smile: "Ah Ji, I have long heard that you have a nephew, who left Liangzhou to study art with a famous teacher in the north when he was a teenager. A few years ago, I returned from school, and relied on my first-hand pistol skills to become a gun king in the Northland? β
Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Ah Xiu has indeed learned some kung fu, but it is just some superficial skills. It's okay to deal with those ordinary reckless people, but if it's against Shang Gongming, he will definitely be far from being an opponent. β
Hua Xiong raised his hand and touched the beard on his chin and smiled, "Since he is Aji's son and nephew, then he is my son and nephew, and if he has the opportunity in the future, when he is free, I can give him some advice." Although I am not a good use of a gun, I have dealt with many people who have used a gun, and I think I can help him to some extent. β
Zhang Ji smiled: "How can you trouble Gongming." β
At this time, the young man who was half a horse's head behind Zhang Ji just pouted when he heard this, and his heart was naturally still full of indignation.
If he really let go of his hands and feet to fight with Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong is definitely not his opponent.
After all, the old man who taught him spearmanship also taught the Dulong on the Nagasaka slope.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
North of the Yellow River and west of Pingyindu, a cavalry army of only more than 1,000 people stopped here.
"Wen Yuan, do you think we are sure of winning this battle?"
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, who led the army, had a leisure, rode their horses to the bank of the Yellow River, and watched the Yellow River rush east.
Zhang Liao was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Although this plan has calculated people's hearts to the fullest, it is still too risky in the end. If one of them goes wrong, I'm afraid everyone will be buried south of the Yellow River. β
Zhang Liao originally thought that at the moment of the war, he would definitely be scolded by Lu Bu if he said such a frustrating speech, but he didn't want Lu Bu to just smile and never reprimand.
Menghu, who was willing to be a "swordsman" in order to earn a bite to eat when he was merging the state, shook his head and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, how can I not know that this battle is dangerous, but above the battle array, who can ensure that there will be no mistakes?" β
He turned his head to look at the water of the Yellow River rolling eastward, "People like you and me, if you want to do something, in addition to working hard, where is there any other way to think of it?" β
"For people like you and me, life is important, but the opportunity to make a difference is even more important. Otherwise, even if you survive today, when you are unsatisfactory in the future, when you think of today's events, you will inevitably cry bitterly, why didn't you give up your life to fight in the first place. β
Zhang Liao fell silent when he heard this, and nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't say it's you and me, even if he Liu Xuande has the name of a Han clan relative, isn't it a few times that his relatives have risked their lives, so there is today's dictatorship? Not to mention you and me. β
Zhang Liao didn't speak, but in his heart, he felt that what Lu Bu said was extremely reasonable.
If there is really a good opportunity in the future, he will also give it a go.
Lu Buhu took off the longbow that was usually inseparable on his body, handed it to Zhang Liao, and laughed softly: "Wenyuan, making contributions is at this time." β
"Rather live than die silently."
The great river is rolling at the foot and rushing eastward.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the south bank of the Yellow River, Dong Zhuo's army has arrived. The front army, led by Hua Xiong and others, was forming a formation along the riverbank, while the rear army was stationed near Pingyin City.
At nightfall, Dong Zhuo summoned the generals of the army to discuss matters in the big tent.
Dong Zhuogao sat on the head, and there were three generals on the left and right sides standing in armor.
Li Wei, Guo Yan and Fan Chou.
The three of them, plus Zhang Ji, who is now stationed on the shore with Huaxiong, have always been called the four generals of Liangzhou by the generals in the Liangzhou army.
Dong Zhuo saw that everyone had arrived, leaned back on the seat behind him, and said with a smile: "Before going out, Wen You repeatedly told me, saying that the state army may have different ambitions, and if you can't say it, you will take the opportunity to make trouble, and repeatedly prevent me from going to the army in person, what do you think?" β
Guo Yan took a step forward and said with a sneer: "Although the military advisor has always been wise, there are times when he makes mistakes. Mo said that now that Ding Yuan is dead, how can those who have no master of the state martial arts dare to act at will? Taking a step back, even if they really dare to make a mistake, there is a lord and a general, and they will definitely be able to make them come and go. β
Li Dao sighed, this Guo Aduo's ability in the battle formation is not very good, and the ability to pat the horse is really not bad, he is still a step slower.
Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this, obviously Guo Yan's words hit his heart.
He smiled and said: "What Ado said is not bad, who have we Liangzhou Mengshi been afraid of?" Even if he and the state army horses were also known for their bravery? It's just that the words of the military advisor must be listened to, not afraid of 10,000, just afraid of that in case. Before the annexation of the state army and horses, you must not slack off on patrolling the camp these days. β
The congregation should claim to be.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On a small road north of the Yellow River, Lu Bu led the cavalry to smuggle across the Yellow River from the trail, and was heading straight for Dong Zhuo's camp at this time.
The trail was long and narrow, allowing only a few horses to walk together, and Lu Bu rode the horse to open the way.
It was the middle of the night, and they were sneaking, unable to light torches, but could only walk slowly by the thin moonlight in the sky.
Suddenly, the horse of LΓΌbule, who was walking in front, stopped, and the cavalry behind him also immediately stopped.
It turned out that not far away there was a cavalry army with torches patrolling back and forth, and the night was so dark that it was impossible to see the faces of these people, and only a shadow could tell that these people were by no means inferior in number.
Lu Bu raised the Heavenly Painting Halberd in his hand high, then waved it towards him, sat down and rushed straight away.
Behind him, the cavalry of the state followed closely behind him.
Not far away, the commander of the troops patrolled was none other than Guo Yan, who had made bold statements in the military tent not long ago.
At this time, he saw the Bingzhou cavalry rushing out from not far away, and he was not afraid of rejoicing.
It seems that those wizards are indeed not bad, his luck is very good these days, and today this wealth is not sent to the door.
He shouted loudly and said sharply: "These thieves don't know the number of days, and watch me take off the head of the other party's main general!" β
He led his cavalry and rushed straight at the oncoming horses of the Bingzhou army, and for a moment, the sound of roaring and slashing resounded through the heavens and the earth.
And Guo Yan directly rode his horse and slashed at Lu Bu, who was rushing to kill him.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The sound of shouting and killing in the distance shook the sky, even if there was no need for Guo Yan's people to come to deliver the news, the people in the camp also knew that most of the people in the camp had changed over there.
And now what can make a change can only be the military horse of the state across the river from them.
Dong Zhuo once again summoned the generals who had not been dispersed long ago into the military tent.
"I don't want that Lu Bu is really bold, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall. There is no need for Hua Gongming to come back to help, and the last general is willing to invite a military horse to go out of the battle, and he will definitely be able to cut off the head of the enemy general. Li Dao said in a deep voice.
Dong Zhuo smiled and praised Li Dao a few words.
In fact, he didn't pay attention to the Bingzhou military horses that were sneaking up not far away.
Even if it is guessed by Li Ru, what can the state army do if they have different intentions? He is a big vest in Liangzhou, and the Liangzhou sergeants under him are even more indomitable.
Mo said that most of the horses of the Bingzhou army are still on the north bank of the Yellow River, and most of the people who have been smuggled over now are small elites, even if the whole army of the Bingzhou Army is here, he is not afraid.
"I think we should send reinforcements first." Fan Chou said softly.
Dong Zhuo smiled when he heard this, "You are just too cautious, Ado has followed me for so many years, and his ability is one of the best in our Liangzhou army." Except for Hua Xiong, who of you is sure that he can win against him? β
"Besides, although there are not many sergeants under him, they are all soldiers from Liangzhou, and it is not difficult to deal with some thieves who have smuggled in from Liangzhou."
Li Dao on the side sighed in his heart, Guo Aduo was really lucky today, and he actually bumped into those people from Bingzhou, which is a great credit.
Although he has never been on good terms with Guo Yan, he doesn't think that Guo Aduo will not be able to take down these Bingzhou people who smuggled across the river.
You must know that Guo Aduo was born as a horse thief, and if he was a horse thief in Liangzhou, if he didn't have some strong skills, he was afraid that he would have died under the knives of other horse thieves.
Dong Zhuo stood up with the eucalyptus in front of him, but Li Dao, who was looking at the next head, felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
The Liangzhou hero who recruited him to join the army with a double bow on his horse side is now old.
He hurriedly took a few steps forward and supported Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo shook off his arm and said with a smile: "There is no need to be like this, I am old now, do you think I can't open the bow?" β
He hung the long knife behind him on his waist, but he couldn't help but sigh while hanging it, "I love swords the most in my life, but it's a pity that I haven't found a good knife I like today." β
He looked up at the generals in the tent again, and said with a smile: "Order all the military horses, and follow me out to watch the Ado thief." β
Thousands of Liangzhou troops were in full armor and holding fire, and in the camp, it was as bright as day.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A fire dragon came out of the Liangzhou army's garrison and went straight to the place where the shouts of killing were loud.
The battle has been fighting for a long time in front, and the shouts of killing have not stopped, but have become louder and louder.
Dong Zhuo was surrounded by the generals in the center, still talking and laughing with everyone, "Presumably Guo Aduo knew that I would come to watch the battle, which is why the war has dragged on until now, which is really a headache." His merits must be recorded, and this fault must not be spared. β
Li Dao's mind turned, and he stepped forward, "My lord, if you want to come to Ado, you don't have this kind of intention to invite merit, it must be that those merger armies are too difficult to deal with." It's better for me to lead an army to help Ado, and then solve the war quickly, so as not to delay the lord's rest. β
Dong Zhuo just glanced at him sideways, they had all followed him for many years, how could he not understand Li Dao's thoughts, he smiled and said, "Okay, then you will lead an army to help Ado first." Whoever can take down the head of the enemy's commander will be the great merit of this time. β
Li Dao was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and ordered some of his henchmen's military horses, and Pegasus went straight to the place where the two sides were fighting.
Dong Zhuo led the army slowly.
In his opinion, by the time they reached the place where the two sides were fighting, the war would probably be over.
He believed in Guo and Li, and also believed in his own military horses.
It was only halfway through the journey, but everyone found that the shouting and killing still did not stop.
Dong Zhuo frowned, and couldn't help but let the whole army speed up.
And when they came to the place where the two sides were fighting, they saw that the Liangzhou army, which was outnumbered, was suppressed by those Hezhou troops and horses, who were obviously inferior in numbers.
Li Dao and Guo Yan, two rebellious people who are not used to seeing each other on weekdays, are even joining forces to deal with the chief general of the state army.
Both of them were already wounded in multiple places.
The man seemed to be at ease with the two of them, and at this time, a halberd forced Guo and Li to retreat, and raised his eyes to look at Dong Zhuo, who was surrounded by the generals.
Lu Brown laughed and said, "Dong Zhongying, I've been waiting for you for a long time. β
