Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 223 Teammates sacrifice to the sky, the mana is boundless

Seeing Sun Jian leading the army to kill, the desperate Bao Xin suddenly had a glimmer of hope.

He turned his horse's head, raised his sword high, and shouted loudly: "Cheer up, line up to meet the enemy, General Sun's reinforcements have arrived!"

Hearing the sound, all the defeated soldiers looked in the direction of the shouting, and they saw the reinforcements. Immediately, their morale recovered a lot, and they were ready to face the enemy with their weapons.

According to Xu Rong's order, Li Meng lay in ambush here for two days, and he really bumped into Bao Xin's defeated army, and when he broke out, he bumped into Sun Jian coming to help.

Li Meng's brain was running fast, but the momentum of the army's charge remained unchanged.

Attacking Bao Xin with ease and waiting for work is naturally a sure thing of victory, and he is crouching here for this reason.

And Sun Jian also came from Yuanyong, although he was not far away from the labor force, but after running for tens of miles, the soldier's physical strength must be damaged, even if there is a risk of being attacked by the enemy, but if he wants to retreat wholeheartedly, he should be able to retreat wholeheartedly.

Besides, this is his first victory in this battle, and it was delivered to his door, so he must win it!
Li Meng's speed did not slow down, he brandished his long spear, and he was proud of his Xiliang spear skills. He had made a lot of contributions with Dong Zhuo in the battle. If he could kill the enemy's head in this battle, he might be able to lead an army in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Meng exerted all his strength. As the two armies intertwined, he continued to attack, assassinate, and attack. The exhausted Bao Xin army was unable to counterattack. Waiting in formation, but unfortunately the combat power is so disparate that the front line will collapse at the touch of a touch.

Bao Xin swung his knife to block the attack of a Xiliang spearman, and cut him off his horse with his backhand. Seeing that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Block it! Hold on!"

Sun Jian took the lead and rushed towards the battle formation. He thought that when he arrived, the opponent would retreat, but he didn't expect the opponent's offensive to remain unchanged, and went straight into Bao Xin's army.

Sun Jian was very annoyed, didn't he hear that "Sun Polu" was coming, he was unmoved, and immediately urged his horse to sprint hard.

The four generals behind Sun Jian, Cheng Pu Handang and Huang Gai Zumao, also scrambled to compete with General Sun.

Cheng Pu charged and shouted: "General, this place is too close to Xingyang. The two armies are fighting, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while. We should beware of Xingyang's reinforcements!"

Sun Jian casually said: "Don't worry about virtue, the two armies of Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao have reached the outskirts of Xingyang, and they can stop Xingyang's army!"

Sun Jian had just finished speaking when Han Dang shouted, "General, there are enemies on the west side!"

Sun Jian was greatly surprised by the sudden change. He turned his eyes sideways to the west, and sure enough, he saw a group of soldiers and horses coming towards him, and seeing the billowing dust behind the formation, it was obvious that the force was not small, and the number was far greater than his own.

"But the army of Xingyang? Why didn't the two generals Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao stop it?" Sun Jian asked anxiously.

"General, if the two armies are encircled, we will be in danger. It is better to stop the attack and withdraw the troops." Cheng Pu quickly suggested.

When Sun Jian heard this, he hesitated, retreating could certainly protect himself, but Sun Polu's bad reputation of fleeing without fighting would probably be with him in his next life.

"General, General Bao has been defeated. If our army loses again, we may lose the overall situation." Cheng Pu said again.

Sun Jian fell into hesitation, his bushy brows were tightly furrowed, and he couldn't help rubbing his short beard with one hand.

Before he could make up his mind, something happened, Li Meng's army who was fighting with Bao Xin gave up the good opportunity to kill Bao Xin's remnant soldiers, and instead regrouped, wanting to kill himself.

The intention is obvious, that is, to have the two armies join forces to intercept and kill themselves.

Sun Jian was shocked, and immediately ordered: "The rear team will move forward and retreat to the south!"

"The rear team changed to the front and retreated to the south!"

The military orders were passed down one by one, and Sun Jian's army immediately turned around and fled south along the Bian River.

At this time Li Meng pursued Sun Jian from north to south, while Xu Rongjun came from the west, intending to intercept Sun Jian's army.

Even if he retreated with all his strength, Sun Jian hesitated too much time to advance and retreat, and he had lost the opportunity to retreat completely. Xu Rong led the troops in the front, and rushed into Sun Jian's army at the head. He hit it directly, his head was in a different place, and blood gushed out, soaking the blade.

Xu Rong was excited for a while, and immediately shouted: "Capture and kill Sun Polu!"

All the Xiliang soldiers shouted excitedly, and shouts for capturing and killing Sun Jian were everywhere.

Because Sun Jian led the army in the front, he was reduced to the rear army when he retreated. Xu Rong caught him straight. Xu Rong seemed to know this too. Cut off one by one.

"The one wearing the red turban is Sun Jian! Kill Sun Jian!" Xu Rong shouted again.

A small group of Xiliang soldiers seemed to have found Sun Jian in the red turban, and they were very excited. Immediately, they whistled and yelled the Liangzhou chant, and rushed towards Sun Jian.

However, Sun Jian himself, as well as the generals around him, are not idle people. As Sun Jian's staff, Cheng Pu can not only advise him, but also is good at bow and horse. Powerful and sharp, he stabbed two Xiliang cavalry who underestimated the enemy in one encounter.

Cheng Pu yelled, raised the two men with iron spears, and slammed them hard at the other person who was killing them. Under the huge impact, he directly knocked down the Xiliang cavalry, both man and horse.

Sun Jian held an ancient ingot knife and chopped off a cavalry soldier, but saw several spears attacking him, approaching the red turban.

"General, hurry up, I'll stop him!" Huang Gai blew his short beard that exploded, swung his iron whip, and swung one of the long spears away with one blow, and then struck the Xiliang soldier's head violently with one blow. The Xiliang soldier opened the ladle, and red and white things splashed everywhere, extremely violent.

The rest of them hit the arrows and fell off the horse one after another. It turned out that Han Dang was holding a longbow and shooting a string of arrows while riding.

At a short distance, Han Dang was not only extremely fast, but also hit the vital point with his arrows.

"General, your scarf [jì] is too conspicuous, why don't you give it to me, and I will distract the pursuers!" Zu Mao said as he rode his horse to Sun Jian's side.

Sun Jian seemed to hesitate, so Zu Mao would not be in danger.

"General, hurry up!" Zu Mao urged.

Sun Jian gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved today, but he was not willing to let down the good intentions of his subordinates, so he took off the scarf and handed it to Zu Mao, saying, "Take care, Great Rong!"

Without saying a word, Zu Mao rode his horse and galloped forward, wearing a red shawl.

Looking at Zu Mao's leaving figure, Sun Jian's eyes were filled with worry, and he said, "I hope Da Rong can escape safely."

"Don't worry, General, Zu Mao is good at riding. If he wants to leave, the enemy will have nothing to do, but we should break out quickly!"

Cheng Pu assassinated one person and took the time to say.

The enemy in front of him had just been killed, and Li Meng's cavalry came up behind him again. Sun Jian did not hesitate, and fought out together with the generals.

"General Xu! General Xu!" Li Meng didn't care about chasing the enemy, and let the cavalry pursue him, he ran towards Xu Rong.

"General Li, can Bao Xin be killed?"

"Reporting to General Xu, Bao Xin saw that Sun Jian was retreating and had dived into the water to escape, so I led the army to attack Sun Jian with the general."

"General Li did the right thing. It's a pity that Sun Jian is too cunning. The rear army has already fled. Today's gains may not be great." In Xu Rong's words, not only was there no joy of winning, but he was faintly disappointed because the results were not great.

"General Xu, will our army continue to pursue?"

"Don't pursue any more. Sun Jian is not like Bao Xin. You can tell from his retreat from Aocang that he is no ordinary opponent. You should not underestimate him." Xu Rong continued: "Clean up the battlefield first, win this battle, and report it to Duke Dong! "

"Decree!" Li Meng said excitedly.

At this time, a cavalry sentry came and said to Xu Rong: "I tell the general that two soldiers and horses appeared outside Xingyang, carrying the banners of 'Wang' and 'Zhang'."

With the banners of "Wang" and "Zhang", Xu Rong immediately thought of Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao, and immediately said with a smile: "Wang Kuang is just one of He Jin's recruiting officers, but was promoted by Yuan Kai as the prefect of Hanoi. It can be seen that there is no one in the Kwantung Army." people!"

"That Zhang Miao, I heard that he is a benevolent person, so he must have come here to give credit to me!"

All the generals were amused by Xu Rong. The soldiers and horses in the two towns of the Kwantung Army were actually regarded by Xu Rong as recruiters and military meritorious service officers.

However, in Xu Rong's first battle, Bao Xin was defeated and Sun Jian was retired, and all the generals followed in the battle, full of ambition and high morale.

"All generals listen to your orders! Enter Aocang and rest for a whole day. Hou Sima, you lead people to detour to the west gate. After returning to Xingyang, order the four gates to stop the flags and drums at night. Tomorrow will be very bright, so that Xingyang will look like a city without soldiers."

……

Dong Zhuo waited anxiously in the mansion. Some time had passed since Sun Jian's vanguard entered Sili, but there was no battle report during this period.

Originally, Jia Xu was invited to have a small banquet today, but his actual intention was to hope that Jia Xu would talk more, because he had the bottom line.

Jia Xu picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction. In his hometown of Liangzhou, there was this way of eating, which made Jia Xu miss it very much.

After swallowing the beef, he drank the wine again. This wine was a reward from the emperor, the emperor's imperial wine, and Dong Zhuo also used it to entertain him.

Jia Xu was eating and drinking, but Dong Zhuo was absent-mindedly pacing in the hall. When the two talked about the situation outside Hulao Pass, Jia Xu only said to wait patiently.

Dong Zhuo has never been a master of patience.

"Wenhe, will General Xu Rong be in danger in Xingyang?"

"Mr. Dong, you can't let down such good wine and meat!" Jia Xu didn't talk to Xu Rong in Xingyang, but talked about wine and meat.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo shook his head helplessly and paced again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong, Xingyang is safe. Xingyang City has enough troops, food and grass. I'm afraid the Kwantung Allied Forces don't encircle Xingyang. If Xingyang is surrounded, the danger of Hulaoguan and Luoyang will be gone!" Jia Xu said.

"What do you mean by that?" Dong Zhuo stopped, leaned forward slightly and looked at Jia Xu and asked.

If he didn't lean forward slightly, Dong Zhuo's current body shape would already be leaning backward in normal state.

Jia Xu put down his glass of wine and looked towards Dong Zhuo with bright and sharp eyes.

"Just think about it, Mr. Dong, if the Kwantung Allied Forces besieged Xingyang for several months, what would it be like?"

Dong Zhuo frowned, obviously not fond of thinking.

Jia Xu smiled helplessly, gave up the half-sentence model, and continued: "The Kwantung Allied Forces come from various states and counties. Yang, so many forces have made great achievements, and naturally there are countless rewards, but if the army is blocked, let alone the Hulao Pass, it will take several months for mere Xingyang. The army besieged the city, and the loss of food and grass was huge. , how can we sit idly by?"

Jia Xu pointed out that Dong Zhuofang understood, but this understanding made him fear and admire Jia Xu's methods.

This is really a teammate worshiping the sky, with boundless mana.

Dong Zhuo originally thought that the deployment of Xingyang was a dangerous move to win by surprise, but now he said that Xingyang was just a bait thrown out, and its function was to attract the attention of the Kwantung Allied Forces. , and Luo Yang can sit back and relax.

No wonder all the troops from the surrounding counties were transferred to Xingyang, and all the grain and grass stored in Ao Cang were transferred to Xingyang. It turned out that Jia Xu's initial arrangement was to use Xingyang to exhaust the Kwantung coalition forces.

When Jia Xu deployed earlier, he said to Xu Rong: Xingyang is the key to the tiger prison, the most important thing.Dong Zhuo really thought that Jia Xu gave Xu Rong some winning strategy.

Come to think of it, this is already the second time Jia Xu has come up with a similar idea.

Last time in Luoyang City, when Yuan Kai attacked Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to take the South Gate, and Jia Xu planned a suicide attack by Wang Fang to take the West Gate.

In that battle, Wang Fang did not take down Ximen, and was injured. Dong Zhuo not only did not blame him afterwards, but also said that he was rewarded for his bravery in fighting.

This time, it was Xu Rong's turn. Similarly, even Xu Rong himself didn't know that the so-called dangerous chess was not a dangerous chess, but a dangerous one.

Dong Zhuo nodded, relieved, since whether Xu Rong was dangerous or not was all designed by Jia Xu, then he didn't need to worry, he didn't feel any guilt, but thought: If Xu Rong comes back, he will definitely be rewarded!
"Mr. Dong, besides the Hulao and Sishui Second Passes, there is another dangerous place in Luoyang that needs to be strictly guarded."

"where?"

"Mengjin and Xiaopingjin Pass, if Yuan Shao fails to attack Hulao, he may turn to attack Luoyang from Hanoi County, so we should make preparations early." Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe thinks it's feasible to send someone there?"

Jia Xu smiled, and said again: "After eating Dong Gong's meat and drinking Dong Gong's wine, it is natural to help the lord. Jia Xu is the captain of Xiaoping Jinguan, so I can leave this matter to the humble officer!"

"If Wen He goes, then we have something to discuss with whom?"

Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Although Mr. Dong can rest in peace, Luo Yang will be safe! However, Jia Xu has one more word before he leaves."

"It's okay for Wenhe to speak directly."

"Dong Gong's son-in-law, General Niu, is guarding Xuanyuan Pass. This place is quite critical, and another general should be sent to guard it."

In fact, Jia Xu is worried about Niu Fu, but because he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, it is inconvenient to say so.

"Then I will send Fan Chou to guard!"

Jia Xu didn't refute, and said: "Nanyang County goes directly to Guanzhong via Wuguan, and the prefect of Nanyang is also in the Guandong coalition forces. Dong Gong should prevent the coalition forces from bypassing Guanzhong and attacking Luoyang from the rear. Dong Gong can send Zhang Ji to guard."

"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "Wenhe took care of the important tasks by himself, and he did not miss any important tasks before leaving, and deployed all the hidden dangers everywhere, so we can really rest easy, everything is according to Wenhe's intention!"

Jia Xu saw that the matter had come to an end, Mr. Dong's doubts had been dispelled, and he had tasted the fresh meat and wine, so he was about to get up and leave. At this moment, a notification came from outside.

"Dong Gong! General Xu Rong urgently reports!"

Dong Zhuo stared, "Read it quickly!"

"Bao Xin, the vanguard of the coalition army, was stationed at Sishui Pass. Xu Rong robbed the camp at night, burned Bao Xin's camp and supplies, beheaded General Bao Tao, and Bao Xin was defeated. He was intercepted and killed by General Li Meng. They came to help, but they were killed by the two generals Xu Rong and Li Meng, and there was a small gain!"

Dong Zhuo was surprised at first, and then surprised, and immediately smiled at Jia Xu: "Xu Rong is really a tiger general! The coalition army has not arrived yet, the vanguard has already been defeated. Let's see that the Kwantung coalition army is just a bunch of mobs!"

Jia Xu laughed along, feeling a little surprised, this Xu Rong has exceeded his expectations, it really is possible!
If you were worried that the coalition forces would skip Xingyang and attack Hulao Sishui before, now that the two vanguards are frustrated, I am afraid that the attention of the coalition forces will be attracted by Xingyang.

Based on his prediction of the coalition forces, the heads of states and counties with their own minds will inevitably be exhausted.

Chen Liu's covenant will be disintegrated under the city of Xingyang!
The messenger said again: "Mr. Dong, General Xu still has something to say. Right now, the armies of Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao have arrived at the city of Xingyang, while Yuan Shao's army has already passed Suanzao and is attacking in a big way!"

Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly.
