Chapter 51: Ambush

It was difficult to see the stars and moon in the middle of the night in January, and in the darkness, on the field from south to north, a team of more than 7,000 people moved forward quickly, and there was a horse team of 700 people in front, trying to keep pace with the foot soldiers in the rear.

The silence was full of footsteps, Dong Zhuo rode on horseback, asked the guards to hold torches over to illuminate the map unfolded in their hands, and only after confirming that the route was correct did they let them extinguish the torches.

The red horse that had removed the copper bell came to the side with its hooves, and Lu Bu glanced at Dong Zhuo on the horseback, "Hehe, my father-in-law really did his best, when you entered Luoyang, it was like this, I'm afraid there is nothing to do with the coalition army." ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't hear this obvious mockery, but he rarely didn't get angry, he rolled up the map and handed it to his own soldiers, and looked at the former righteous son beside him, his eyes were like deep night.

"Fengxian, what do you want?"

Lu Bu clenched the halberd and lowered his voice: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth......" Before he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo on the side picked up the following words:

“…… How can you be depressed and live under people for a long time! ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, "You also know?" ”

"Hehe, I already knew." Dong Zhuo retracted his gaze and turned to look at the soldiers who passed by him, "Fengxian, do you still want to go the same way?" And then, hanged on the White Gate Tower? ”

The three words 'Baimenlou' suddenly made Lu Bule stop the war, his eyebrows were raised, and his teeth were clenched: "Dong thief, what else do you want to say?!" ”

"I want to say, you're going to die again."

Dong Zhuo also grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, "Say that your temper will come up after a few words, so happy, it is barely enough to be the chief general of the first army, and the commander of one side is not qualified enough, let alone the princes of one side to achieve great things." ”

"Don't you either."

"The prime minister, the prince, and the extremely human ministers, I have done all of this, and now it is not interesting to take a different path."

Dong Zhuo smiled and waved his whip and urged the horse to leave. Lu Bu looked at him silently, unwilling in his eyes, but when he thought of Baimenlou, he instinctively touched his neck.

Hum.

How can a certain family be so easily frightened, and wait until the wings are full before making plans.

……

The night birds flew through the gloomy old forest, the spring thunder roared in the Yunyu realm, the army that had traveled for a day set up camp here, and set off early tomorrow morning to pass through Yunyu County, and then returned to Yanjing to the east.

In the makeshift tent, Fei Chong poured a glass of wine, handed it to Xu Changqing, turned around and sat down behind the long case.

"On this errand, I thought that the Su family would rise up to resist, and Your Majesty also specially asked me to lead 5,000 armor soldiers and 1,000 Yanshan iron cavalry to escort the reading envoy, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth. In this way, the marquis is cut off, and there are only seven hereditary marquis left, and when he comes back, it should be this Marquis Yunyao. ”

"Yun Yaohou has a fierce temperament, and he can't say that he will resist...... General, you and I still don't have to laugh casually on this matter, it should be up to Your Majesty to decide. "Xu Changqing is different from Qin Zhuang who came with him, although he is also one of the palace guards, but he was recommended by the Taishi, and before leaving, he was specially advised.

"yes, you and I talk a lot about this."

Fei Chong put away the joke just now, nodded with a serious face, and then the two talked about Ding'an City, Xu Changqing put down the wine glass so that he didn't have to think about it.

"The Ding'an Army has let Han Tao take over, and Qin Guan is here, he is still in the first-class realm, and this Ding'an City is ruined, and Marquis An has an opponent? What's more, there are 500 armor soldiers and 500 iron horsemen left by the general, which is enough to deter the young people. ”

Sometimes, words are too full and the unexpected happens.

The two chatted in the tent for a while, and tomorrow morning they had to drive back to Yanjing, so they said goodbye to each other, Xu Changqing just got together, and there was a fast horse outside that rushed into the gate, and came to the big tent, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, opened the curtain and walked in quickly.

"General Qiyu, something happened, Ding'an Hou is reversed!"

"What?!" Xu Changqing's expression froze, and he glanced at Fei Chong, who stepped forward, and the latter's voice was low and almost roared: "He has no soldiers, how can he do the opposite?!" ”

"I don't know...... the scout really didn't know the details, he just caught up from another county town to report, "The news of the fall of Ding'an City has not spread, Ji, Qu, Qingshan, the three counties were deceived into opening the city gates, and most of the counties are former officials of the Hou Mansion, and the soldiers took it without blood." ”

Fei Chong's face changed greatly, he escorted the holy decree over, Su Congfang rebelled, seized Ding'an City and the other three counties, His Majesty was held accountable, and he could not escape responsibility.

"Blow the trumpet and raise the account!"

At this time, it is impossible for him to sit here safely and wait for news, the early stage of the rebellion is the easiest to exterminate, even if the soldiers and horses in Ding'an City are taken by the other party, there are only four or five thousand people, plus those local soldiers in the three counties, they are not well trained, the armor is uneven, and they do not have the ability to fight with the soldiers of the imperial city.

Soon the desolate trumpet sounded.

As a veteran who has led the army for many years, Fei Chong quickly issued a series of orders, and even sent several scouts to return to Yanjing overnight, and reported the news to the Son of Heaven in batches.

Of course, if he is defeated, he can also blame the enemy for being too numerous and the army is strong, and he leads the army to fight for several days before he is defeated.

In the past five days, the grain and straw trucks were reloaded, and 4,500 armor soldiers from the imperial city prepared their clothes and armor weapons, lined up outside the camp, and under the command of the generals and colonels of each queue, turned around and headed towards Ding'an City.

As cavalry, the five hundred Yanshan iron cavalry divided into two groups and ran through the fields on the left and right flanks of the team, quickly passing through.

A large number of scouts were also sent by Fei to probe the situation in Ding'an City as quickly as possible, find out the number of troops, and who led the army.

The sky is getting brighter, and the scouts sent are coming and going frequently, and it is rare that there is no fighting, and there is no enemy ambush along the way, which makes Fei Chong a little confused, if the other party rebels, it is impossible not to pay attention to his army.

Underestimating the enemy?

Or did you forget it at all?

Until dawn, he had returned to the Ding'an realm, even close to a third of the city, and the calm along the way made Fei Chong's heart more and more uneasy.

At the time of half the incense, among the scouts who were passing messages back and forth, someone returned with two arrows, bringing the news that an army had appeared two miles ahead.

Fei Chong, who had 4,500 Imperial City armor soldiers and 500 Yanshan Iron Cavalry, was definitely not afraid of the soldiers and horses in these places, and immediately sounded the horn in the army and advanced through the past with a dignified and upright attitude.

The first thing he saw was an army in shabby armor waiting in formation, the number of seven thousand looked quite scary, but this posture was not taken into his eyes at all, only the soldiers mixed with black armor in it looked barely some combat power.

"Ready!" Under the banner, Fei Chong raised his hand.

"Ready!"

The same words also sounded in the Ding'an army that was waiting for the battle, Dong Zhuo rode on horseback, untied the serrated knife, held it in his hand, he looked at the banner standing in the murderous army opposite, and the blade slowly raised: "Array, drag them!" ”

At this time, the array of the Imperial City armor soldiers had begun to change formations, and the iron shields stood up, and the walking archers were mixed with the spears, holding their bows and arrows as they walked.

When the arrows were fired, the archers raised their longbows, and arrows were thrown out of the array, turning into a dense rain of arrows.

"Top shield!"

In the Ding'an army, the voice of the general roared, and the leather shields in everyone's hands were turned up to cover the comrades around them, and in an instant, the arrow rain fell, and the arrows crackled and hit the shield, bouncing, or densely inserted on the shield and the ground, and there were also pierced into the flesh of people through the gaps, splashing some blood.

As soon as the rain of arrows passed, the advancing soldiers and horses of the imperial city gradually increased their speed.

And here the Ding'an army hung down the shield in front of him, and the spears were pressed down to form a forest of guns, many soldiers had never participated in the fight at all, in the face of such a scene, they opened their mouths one by one, gasping for breath, and the bloodshot eyes reflected the rushing imperial city armor soldiers, and the sight became clearer and clearer.

The pace of sweeping is getting faster and faster.

At the point where the two armies exchanged arrows, Dong Zhuo raised his serrated knife: "Hold on-"

Rumble!

The onrushing army was like a huge wave crashing on a reef, crashing into a forest of guns that were waiting for it, shields and spears collided, shields collided with shields, human bodies were pierced by spears, people and human bodies were crowded together, flesh and bones were crackling and shattering in an instant.

……

Behind the rushing war group, or even on a hill farther away, Lu Bu stroked the war horse that was grazing grass with his head down, and he looked at the fighting cry faintly coming from the distance.

His face was as silent as water.

'Do you want to go the same way?' ’

'I'm not afraid to hang myself on the White Gate Tower again......

Lu Bu closed his eyes, turned around and turned over, he rode on horseback, raised his halberd horizontally, and said in a low voice: "Get on the horse." ”

Seven hundred horsemen rolled over and sat on their horses and made a loud noise.

The cloak was unfurled, and his voice contained murderous intent.

“…… Then, stomp them to death! ”
