The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 517 Decisive Battle in Taigu
The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cold, and the grass and trees are shaken and dew into frost.

It was late autumn, and Taigu Pass, like other places, was a desolate and desolate scene.

The strong wind blew, blowing from the north, and rolled up thousands of fiery red banners outside Taigu Pass.

"Ugh——"

The low and desolate horn sounded slowly from the densely packed army formation outside Taigu.

"Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--"

The thick sound of war drums, one after another, slowly spread to all directions.

September [-]th, chen time (seven o'clock sharp).

Trumpets and drums sounded one after another, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers in red clothes and black armor gathered under the banners of their respective officers, marching forward in an orderly manner under the simple and orderly command of the flags and drums. forward.

One after another fiery red streams merged into the formation of the Han army outside Taigu Pass.

At this time, the field outside Taigu Pass was already full of soldiers of the Han army in red robes and black armor.

Military flags at all levels were erected high in the formation, and countless banners were blown by the wind and made hunting sounds.

Amidst the deafening sound of drums and trumpets, the crimson tide slowly covered the entire front of the field.

And this is just the beginning, there are more red-clothed soldiers rolling forward in the rear, forming an endless forest of spears and halberds in the distance.

One tall shaft after another stood in front of the formation, and one ladder truck after another was slowly pushed out.

The chariot attacking the city gate was covered with animal skins and iron armor, and hundreds of warriors in leather armor stood beside the chariot.

As the Taigu Pass closed, Dong Zhuo held the sword tightly around his waist, his palms were even sweating a lot.

Even if Xiongguan is guarding him, even if he has gathered nearly [-] troops under his command, he doesn't have the slightest feeling of winning this battle.

Duan Yao, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Zhang Yang and other generals stood on both sides of Dong Zhuo, all with extremely dignified expressions.

They are veteran generals who have experienced many battles, how can they not see the reality of Taiguguan's army.

Despite the distance of several miles, the army still rushed toward us with a murderous aura, which made people tremble with fear.

Dong Zhuo's face was livid, and he could clearly feel the change in the military's momentum.

"Sun Jian..."

Dong Zhuo looked at the seemingly endless army formation outside the pass, and once again clenched the sword around his waist. Only by holding the sword can Dong Zhuo feel at ease.

All of a sudden, on the wilderness outside the pass, countless red flags fluttered and swayed wantonly, as if the fire from the sky fell on the mortal world, igniting all the wilderness outside the Taigu Pass.

An incomparably noisy sound reached Dong Zhuo's ears. It was the sound that only the voices of thousands of people gathered together!

"mighty!"

The cheers like a tsunami came from the Yuzhou army outside the pass, one after another, and the waves were higher than the waves!
It rolled from every army formation and every camp, it was a low and loud cheer bursting out from the throats of more than [-] soldiers!

Dong Zhuo's pupils narrowed slightly, and he saw a fire dragon galloping out from behind the Yuzhou Army's formation, and he saw a distinctive banner, an extremely tall banner.

The fiery red banner slowly moved forward from the rear of the Yuzhou Army's formation, and the soldiers who were still in front of the banner moved towards the sides like waves splitting.

When the big banner in front of it drove to the front of the Yuzhou Army formation, the cheers reached its peak and resounded through the entire Taigu Pass.

Thousands of people raised their arms and shouted, it seemed that there was no room for any other Chinese language except for the "mighty" in the world.

The cheers of the Yuzhou Army echoed inside and outside Taigu Pass, casting a thick layer of haze over Dong Zhuojun's heart in Taigu Pass. .

……

Sun Jian was wearing the gold and silver armor of a general, and a scarlet battle robe, the red tassel on the helmet was as bright as blood.

Amid the cheers like the tide, Sun Jian rode a yellow hussar and ran along the battle line. Numerous soldiers raised their weapons high and shouted hysterically at him.

In the seventh year of Guanghe, under Zhu Jun's command and under Huangfusong's command, he had seen this scene before, and he had also heard the cheers like a tsunami.

But at that time, he followed Zhu Jun and Huangfusong.

But this time, no one led him forward, no one led him forward, no one showed him the direction.

He is now shouldering the responsibilities of Zhu Jun and Huangfusong in the past. When he shoulders this responsibility, he truly knows how heavy this responsibility is.

Sun Jian's fiery red banner stopped in front of the army formation, and the cheers of mountains and tsunami also subsided at this moment.

Sun Jian led his horse to face the tall Taigu Pass not far away, followed by Ji Ling, Cheng Pu, Sun Jing, Sun Ben, Sun He, Zhu Zhi, Wu Jing, Xu Kun and other generals .

Yuan Shu not only sent all the food and grass to Sun Jian's camp, but also dispatched his general Ji Ling with his most elite [-] soldiers as reinforcements to join the Yuzhou Army.

At this time, there was no one in front of Sun Jian, and there were no obstacles blocking his vision.

The gate of Taigu Pass was tightly closed, and countless black and ink-like flags were flying on the wall of the pass.

Dong Zhuojun guarded the pass, and had no intention of attacking.

When Taigu Pass was closed, the black banner showed no signs of moving, and the atmosphere was dreary and terrifying.

After the victory in the Battle of the Yangren, the Yuzhou Army was in full swing, and Xu Rong's troops who followed up to assist Hu Zhen were even defeated by Sun Jian.

The Battle of Xincheng completely awakened Sun Jian. In that battle, Sun Jian lost to Xu Rong, and also lost to his own arrogance.

But precisely because of Xincheng's disastrous defeat, Sun Jian has truly become a general who can stand alone.

Meeting Xu Rong again, Sun Jian did not repeat the same mistakes, but regained the victory he should have won in Xincheng long ago.

Sun Jian let out a breath of foul air slowly, he can now understand how much pressure Huangfusong had endured when he was in Quyang.

Now the more than [-] soldiers gathered outside Taigu Pass have already reached the limit of what he can mobilize troops and horses.

All the Yuzhou troops that could be mobilized were basically transferred away from Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu also sent a total of nearly [-] people to help him. Although Chen Wang and Liu Chong did not come, they also sent more than [-] troops. soldiers aid.

If this battle is lost, then Sun Jian will be reduced to the same fate as Cao Cao, and he will never have the power to attack Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo will also continue to occupy Luoyang, continue to occupy Guanzhong, and continue to have the upper hand.

The general trend of the world will turn to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo, who is sitting on the Sili, can easily raise a large number of soldiers and horses.

The Kwantung Allied Forces seem to be in harmony with each other, but in fact they have collapsed, giving birth to a separate regime. As long as Dong Zhuo settles down and develops carefully for a period of time.

When the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, it is not difficult to send troops out of Luoyang Eight Passes and sweep the world like the Great Qin Dynasty in the Warring States Period.

Sun Jian rode alone, jumped out of the formation, and led the horse to walk at the forefront of the army formation.

A group of soldiers straightened their backs and held their heads high. All eyes were on Sun Jian.

Sun Jian looked at the gazes cast one after another, but didn't know what to say.

He had thought of a lot of impassioned speeches that could boost morale, but he couldn't say a word when he looked at the dusty soldiers with dirty faces one after another.

Those impassioned speeches, those gorgeous rhetoric are too weak.

"mighty!"

Sun Jian raised his right arm high and clenched his fist tightly.

"mighty!!"

First the front row of the military formation, then the center of the military formation, and finally the sides and rear of the military formation.

"mighty!!!"

Countless soldiers of the Han army in red clothes turned red and raised their arms and shouted!

The tsunami-like cheers slowly subsided, and at this moment Sun Jian also reined in his horse and returned to the center of the front line, boarding a special observation cart, which was wider than ordinary observation carts.

High flags are planted around the watch car, and the military formation takes Qu as the smallest unit. Each different flag on the watch car represents the military formation of a place.

On the watch chariot, common orders can be issued directly to each song through the flag, and complex orders are delivered by messengers and soldiers.

The cheers subsided slowly, and the battlefield returned to calm. Under the gloomy sky, there were only the neighing of horses on the battlefield, and the hunting sound of banners being blown in the wind.

Dong Zhuo stood on the wall of the pass, and there was a wave of cheers coming from the opposite side, and he looked at the high morale of the Han soldiers outside the pass with complicated eyes.

In the last years of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo served as Habayashiro.Dong Zhuo was skilled in martial arts and was unparalleled in strength. He was good at wearing two sets of quiver and shooting left and right while galloping on horseback.

Later, when the Qiang people rebelled, Dong Zhuo took up the post of army commander under Zhang Huan's command.

Just by taking a look, he knew that Sun Jianjun outside the Guan Wai was far superior to his subordinates in terms of energy and spirit.

But obviously among those soldiers, many are newly recruited soldiers, and many are county soldiers who are obviously invincible, while the troops under his command are almost all elite soldiers who have experienced battles and battles.

But just like this, he was obviously overwhelmed by the opponent in terms of momentum, and the morale of the soldiers in the current pass has dropped significantly.

He looked at the soldiers on the left and right, and saw the panic in their eyes.

He noticed that those Huangzhong Yicongs under his command, those Qiang Hu soldiers, those soldiers from Liangzhou, and generals of the Bingzhou Army all had no look in their eyes.

On the closed wall, compared to the din of people outside the closed wall, it was the complete opposite. The surroundings were silent, and the soldiers on the closed wall didn't have much other movements, just like clay sculptures and wood carvings.

The ebb and flow of morale also made Dong Zhuo uneasy.

But in the end, Dong Zhuo forcibly suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart, and the firm will honed over the years of fighting once again occupied his emotions.

Dong Zhuo took a step forward, wanting to set a reward for the big battle, and want to say something to boost morale.

But at this moment, in the large formation of the Han army in the distance, countless horn sounds came almost at the same time. Although the horn sounds were low, but gathered together, they looked extremely majestic, and people couldn't help but feel a little nervous. shock.

All the horn sounds gathered together, and the resonance aroused made people's blood boil.

There is no need for rewards, no need for looting, but still have high morale. This is the accumulation and inheritance of hundreds of years. Dong Zhuo has no way to understand it now, and I am afraid he will not be able to for the rest of his life. understand.

An army with faith is very different from an army without faith, but an army with firm beliefs and correct beliefs is stronger.

Although the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army under Dong Zhuo's command are brave, they don't have any beliefs.

Apart from money, women, and status, there is nothing else that can attract them.

The reason they fought on the battlefield was precisely because of money, women, and status. They worked for Dong Zhuo not only because Dong Zhuo was their nominal superior, but also because Dong Zhuo could give them what they needed.

Sun Jian's army outside Taigu Pass was responding to the flag at this time, and the sound of rumbling war drums resounded over the field.

As Sun Jian's big fiery red flag was waved on the watchtower, and then all the surrounding military formations responded, the huge red tide boiled completely, and the cheers that shook the sky followed.

Standing on the watchtower, Sun Jian raised the scarlet command flag in his hand. He gazed at the Taigu Pass wall in the distance, and resolutely waved down the command flag in his hand.

At three quarters of the hour, the Yuzhou Army launched a fierce attack on Taigu Pass under the command of Sun Jian!
Ji Ling, Cheng Pu, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and other generals, all wearing helmets and armor, led the army to the front line. This battle must be won, and it must be won!
……

Chendu Imperial Palace, Liu Xie was sitting in the palace, he looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, but his mind was not on the bamboo slips at all, his thoughts had already drifted to the sky, outside Taigu Pass.

Not only Sun Jian had already reported the decisive battle at Taigu Pass, but the Embroidered Clothes Emissary also provided a lot of information. He knew that outside Taigu Pass, a great battle was breaking out that would determine his fate, the fate of the world, and its direction.

The defeated will be reduced to the bottom of hell, and it will be difficult to recover.

It has been a full eight days, and the information from the frontline has not changed much. The daily casualties are increasing, and countless people fall down inside and outside Taigu Pass during the fierce battle every day. .

"Tap-tap-"

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the palace gate, Liu Xie suddenly stood up and looked towards the palace gate.

At the gate of the palace, Wang Yue's clothes and robes were messy, and his hair looked a little messy, it seemed that it was because he was too hasty to tidy up in time
"Mr. Wang..."

Wang Yue is now not only the commander of the Habayashi guards in the palace, the commander of the embroidered messengers, but also Liu Xie's swordsmanship teacher.

With sharp eyes, Liu Xie noticed the silk book tightly held in Wang Yue's hand at a glance.

"This is……"

Pointing to the silk book in Wang Yue's hand, Liu Xie asked nervously, he wanted to know about the battle at Taigu Pass, and he wanted to know the outcome.

Wang Yue's eyes were slightly red, he walked quickly into the hall, facing Liu Xie, knelt down on the ground, and bowed deeply to Liu Xie.

"This is exactly the battle report from Taigu Pass..."
