Chapter 523
As early as more than ten days ago, Dong Zhuo broke through the enemy's defense line at the mountain pass. After the mountain pass was blocked, Dong Zhuo immediately understood that they had fallen for the trick. They are besieged in Huacizimo. Although the combat effectiveness of the Valiant Battalion is not high, it is top-notch in detecting the enemy's situation. If there is no majority of Guishuang's army on the opposite side, I am afraid they have already escaped.

And the other side absolutely did not have the confidence to swallow the thousands of troops from the Valiant Battalion.

Sure enough, Huang Zhong came to report that the envoy was deceitful. He jumped off the top of the city with Nishijia in his arms. Dong Zhuo was furious when he learned of this. Looking at the two of them, causing the Han army's plan to fail, Jia Xu couldn't persuade him in this anger. He transferred all the soldiers to the mountain pass, except for Sun Jian's troops, who were still guarding the river bank.

After the soldiers gathered, Dong Zhuo ordered a strong attack, digging passages, even building bridges and roads, and crossing mountains and mountains. About 3 soldiers from the North and South launched a strong attack. The Guishuang people did not expect the attack of the Han army to come so quickly. There are only more than 2 of them in the mountain pass, and these 2 people still haven't received supplies for four or five days. It's ridiculous to say that in their own land, they were burned away with food, grass and supplies.

Ever since, in front of the tough Han army, they were not able to resist for too long. In this battle, the captain Guan Yu won the first victory. During the battle, he rushed into the enemy's camp and beheaded the opponent's general. Guishuang collapsed in all aspects, no one was in command, and chaos was everywhere. How could Dong Zhuo let go of such a good opportunity, and under a fierce attack, he completely wiped out the 2 Guishuang army.

Guan Yu's reputation for bravery has since shocked the entire army, even Hua Xiong, who is as stupid as he is, can't help shaking his head and praising: "The bravery of longevity is comparable to me!"

The harvest of this battle is huge, and Guishuang only has an army of [-]. This is the elite army recruited from all over the country by King Guishuang. As a result, Dong Zhuo killed nearly [-] people in the first battle and captured them again Nearly [-] people were killed, the Han army suffered more than [-] casualties, and the captured flags and weapons were countless. Although Guishuang was dealt a head-on blow in this battle, the Han army suffered a lot of casualties. Dong Zhuo camped at the mountain pass. Figure it out slowly.

As for Guishuang, 2 pioneers were completely annihilated, and they were terrified. Grain and grass, capturing the station, he thought it was a fish in a urn, but he didn't think it was a wolf entering the sheepfold. On the one hand, he was organizing a defense line against Dong Zhuo's army, and on the other hand, he was searching for these scouts with all his strength.

When he successfully wiped out the scouts, the front line was already in jeopardy. Dong Zhuo's army took down four cities in a row within ten days, and the people of Guishuang refused to give in. The two sides fought fiercely, each winning and losing. Here, people took advantage of the terrain and climate to fight the Han army, but they still failed to stop the Han army's pace, and were forced to around the camp of King Guishuang.

In the camp of the Han army, Dong Zhuo sat in front of the case, looking at the crude map in front of him, feeling a little distressed.

"What is this? Is this the map you drew??"

Dong Zhuo asked displeasedly, Xu Huang said helplessly; "Mr. Dong, we are not familiar with this place. It is densely covered with mountains and forests. Every time we go to search, we are repeatedly ambushed by Guishuang people. If we can draw such a map, we I have tried my best." Dong Zhuo sighed helplessly, these days, he really suffered a lot, because he didn't know the terrain here, he couldn't deal with the continuous attacks of the Guishuang people, and he couldn't even find the water source!

At such a time, he missed that army very much. If they were there, I am afraid that this crusade outside the Great Wall would turn into a local battle, and he would ambush the Guishuang people himself!It's a pity that until now, there is no whereabouts of them. He asked helplessly: "Is there still no whereabouts of the Valiant Camp? Is that what the soldiers who went to search for the situation said?"

"Yes, they did. They said that the Guishuang people besieged the Xiaoyong Camp in a mountain, set fire to the forest, and completely wiped out the Xiaoyong Camp." Xu Huang said.

Dong Zhuo smiled, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let's continue to search." He had just entered the mountain pass, and he kept searching for the whereabouts of the Valiant Camp. The soldiers of Guishuang learned from their mouths that in their mouths, this brave battalion was quite mysterious, but every time they found news, they were all wiped out.

In the past 20 days, there have been more than a dozen news about the extinction of the Valiant Battalion, but soon after, they will receive news of where the Valiant Battalion has appeared again, and what big things they have done. They are used to it. Therefore, now that they heard such news, they didn't care about it. Anyway, in a few days, they would still hear about them. Those people could run like rabbits. How could the Guishuang people catch them?

Because of the powerful deterrence brought by Dong Zhuo's army, the Guishuang people have been retreating constantly. These days, Dong Zhuo has not consumed too much strength, so he has pulled the front line for a long distance. He knows in his heart that the Guishuang King Began to fear, Dong Zhuo was very annoyed, if he could know the opponent's retreat route at this time, and he sent elite cavalry to pursue him, he would definitely gain something, what a pity!The Valiant Battalion is not here! !
Dong Zhuo's face was always filled with joy. The expedition to Guishuang went so smoothly. If this continues, the position of Taiwei is getting closer and closer to him. Hahaha, it seems that the war will end without waiting until the end of the year. At that time, I will return to Luoyang in style and glory, and serve as a Taiwei. I must put on the Taiwei's uniform to see how it feels.

In this march, they spent more than ten days.

One day, Dong Zhuo was talking with Jia Xu in the tent, when a soldier came to report suddenly, his expression was a little hurried, after he broke into the tent, he bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Dong Gong!!! Captain Gongsun is back!"

"Ah? My Valiant Battalion is back?!" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and asked with a big smile; "Where are they!! Take me to pick them up!!", he pushed the soldiers and walked out of the tent with a smile, but found The soldier's complexion was different, and he was not happy. He was a little suspicious. Could it be that there were too many casualties in the Valiant Battalion?In any case, I have to receive them well, they are the army with the most outstanding contributions in this war.

As soon as he walked out of the camp, he saw a group of generals standing outside the school grounds and surrounded them. Dong Zhuo hurried out, pushed away the people in front of him, and walked to the front. The generals saw Dong Zhuo coming, but they didn't say anything , quietly, with his head down, the strange atmosphere made Dong Zhuo feel really uncomfortable. When he looked towards the center, the doctor was lying on the ground, treating Gongsun Zan.

On the other side, there was a person lying down, his hands and feet twisted.

Dong Zhuo walked over slowly, Gongsun Zan was lying on the ground, the doctor was wiping cold water on his mouth, little by little, at this moment Gongsun Zan looked so terrifying, most of his hair was burnt, There are only a few strands of hair hanging on his head, and there are hideous burn marks everywhere on his head. On his face, half of his face is completely burnt, and he has no opening, and he can still see the thick teeth.

Some of the clothes on his body were directly glued together with flesh and blood. Such a tragic scene made Dong Zhuo tremble uncontrollably. He gritted his teeth and looked to the other side. On the other side lay a soldier. He was completely gone. The figure was completely black and breathless, like charcoal, only in the shape of a man, who had been burned to death long ago, and the remaining hand was raised high, as if trying to grasp something.

Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

The doctor yelled: "He's awake, he's awake, some people are here to carry him, be careful!" Hearing his cry, Dong Zhuo rushed up, stretched out his hand, and gently grasped Gongsun Zan's right hand. Supporting his back, together with several other generals, they lifted him up. Gongsun Zan wanted to speak, but his mouth kept moving, but he couldn't speak.

"Bogui, it's okay, you're back, come back, don't open your mouth." Dong Zhuo said, carefully taking him back to the tent and putting him on the bed. The doctor came quickly again and wanted to give Gongsun Zan some hot water. , Gongsun Zan stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to grab Dong Zhuo, but when Dong Zhuo stepped forward, tears kept falling from Gongsun Zan's eyes.

"Don't cry, Bogui, it's okay, you're back."

"Yangjiashan rescue..."

"Positive"

Gongsun Zan just said a few words, then fainted again, unconscious.

Dong Zhuo didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the camp. Looking at his twitching face, the generals were all a little afraid. At this moment, Dong Zhuo had once again become that furious bear, and he couldn't be provoked. When he walked out of the camp, Dong Zhuo roared angrily: "Hua Xiong!! Hua Manzi!!!"

"Dong Gong!" A dazed Hua Xiong squeezed out from the crowd, looking at Dong Zhuo, wondering why he called himself.

"Bring your cavalry!! Open the way ahead!! The army moves out, Yangjialing!!"

"Please!"

Immediately, the army moved out, and even Jia Xu followed, leaving only Huang Zhong and Qu Yi to guard the camp. Hua Xiong, as the vanguard, opened the way in front and ran wildly all the way. Dong Zhuo, with a cold face, led the army to gallop. And go, along the way, Hua Xiong can still encounter some small-scale Guishuang army, go directly to charge and kill, and get some military merits!
After running wildly for half a day, the army arrived at the so-called Yangjia Ridge.

Hua Xiong soon came to report and came to Dong Zhuo's side. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Dong, we seem to have found the wrong place. The mountains and forests here are pitch black, let alone the Valiant Camp, and there are no birds or beasts." ", listening to Hua Xiong's words, Dong Zhuo said nothing, and led the crowd to the front. Sure enough, the whole mountain forest was pitch black, and black smoke was still billowing from some places.

There were burn marks everywhere and a choking smell.

Dong Zhuo got off his horse and walked into the forest step by step. He suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, the scouts reported that there was a huge fire and black smoke in the northeast direction. At that time, he still said with a smile, It must be that the camp somewhere in Guishuang caught fire, and the fire spread to the mountains and forests
Everyone stepped on this piece of ashes and looked at the few dead trees that were still burning around them, and their hearts became more and more heavy and uneasy. Finally, they walked to the west side of the mountain, and everyone stopped.

On the ground, countless corpses can be seen.

Some of them are just a piece of black bones, broken all over the ground, and some can be seen in human form, with their heads buried under their knees, facing the ground, and there are some horse bones scattered around the human bones, and some are human bones. The two skeletons were tightly intertwined.

Dong Zhuo looked at this scene with a dull expression.

In his mind, there appeared such a scene, the soldiers buried their heads on the ground under the pain of the fire, dug the soil with their hands, died in the fire, and the horses, under the great fear brought by the flames, kept licking The owner who licked it and fell to the ground was finally swallowed by the flames together, and some, bearing the burning flames on their bodies, embraced the enemy, and died together.

Among the generals, soft sobbing gradually appeared.

Dong Zhuo's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, his whole body was trembling in anger, he couldn't speak, his whole head seemed to explode.

Hua Xiong looked at these in a daze, then turned his head and looked at Guan Yu beside him.

"They must all be in pain?"
