Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 Ding Luo Yang VI

On the battlefield of Sunset Pavilion.

"The main force presses up and entangles them, don't let his main force gather!"

"The left and right wings form an encirclement, enclosing the Sunset Pavilion!"

"Keep an eye on the west side, the cavalry is ready, we must not let him run out!"

After the Wumeng camp and the Shuofang camp pressed up, Mushan's army was retreating steadily. Ding Yuan was in the middle, staring at the sunset pavilion, his expression was as cold as ice, and the weapons in his hands were raised high. The battle was like a tiger, and the killing intent was cold. Military orders were issued one by one. .

"It seems that Mushan has already made preparations!"

Lu Zhi rode his horse, went up slowly, and said in a deep voice.

The Bingzhou army's assault did not achieve results, which can only explain one thing. When Mushan attacked the sunset pavilion, he had already had sufficient defenses against Luoyang City, so the Bingzhou army reacted as soon as it moved.

"Humph!"

Ding Yuan snorted coldly, and said proudly: "Even if the surprise attack fails, Mu Shan will not be able to escape in today's battle. His main force strangled He Jin's soldiers and horses. You and I have seen the damage. With his current strength , Morale, can't stop my elite troops!"

On the battlefield, strategy is very important, but what is more important is strength. The strength is strong enough to directly crush the past. Even if you are resourceful, it will be difficult to resist.

The army under Mu Shan's command is very strong. Whether it is the main force of the Violent Bear Army or the Nanyang Army, they are all elites who fought in the Battle of Runan. In the previous battle, He Jin's troops retreated steadily. It is obvious to all.

However, after a day of fighting, Mushan's army is exhausted even if it is not counted as damage, so it must not be his opponent with the Bingzhou Army.

"Since Mushan is prepared, we still need to be careful in this battle!" Lu Zhi thought for a while, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only tell Ding Yuan.

"This battle will be won!"

Ding Yuan is confident. His confidence is not only in the soldiers in front of him, but also in the fact that he hides an elite army, which is the strongest soldier in his Bingzhou army.

Sunset, quietly disappeared.

Night gradually descended.

On the battlefield, when the torch is raised, the flames are like soldiers and horses one by one. Under the reflection of these flames, the shouts of killing are loud.

"Warrior of Shuofang, go forward!"

It is difficult for Zhang Liao to calm down on the battlefield. He mainly attacks the formation of the Nanyang Army in front. As long as he defeats the Nanyang Army in front, he can open the defense of the entire Sunset Pavilion and go straight to the pavilion.

"go ahead!"

"go ahead!"

The Shuofang camp is a frontier army. They often face the Xiongnu from the North Desert on the battlefield. The courageous spirit cultivated in their temperament is even more powerful when they fight smoothly. The front spearmen are in the middle, and the archers are in the rear, constantly advancing.

"I can't stop it anymore!" Huang Shao lived in the army formation of the Nanyang army lady, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the Bingzhou army that was constantly pressing ahead, gritted his teeth, and said: "A frontier army is a frontier army, and it is not always a Central Plains army. The teacher can stop it!"

The frontier army has always been braver by the soldiers who have lived in the Central Plains for a long time. This is a consensus. After all, the frontier battles are more frequent, and naturally they have trained elite soldiers. However, the Central Plains troops are all fighting civil wars, and they do not fight with foreigners. momentum.

"Since we can't stop it, we won't stop it!"

Mu Shan gave an order: "Send down the order, the whole army is ready, and if the Xiliang Army does not appear on the battlefield in fifteen minutes, we will abandon the Sunset Pavilion and withdraw our troops to the northwest. The Nanyang Army will withdraw first, and the Pingshan Battalion will be cut off!"

He has his calculations.

It's not that you can't win.

With the current strength of the Violent Bear Army and the Nanyang Army, even if they are damaged, they can deal with it for a few days, but it is impossible for him to take out the troops in his hands and smash them against the State Army.

Preserving strength is the kingly way.

"promise!"

The generals took the lead.

But within a quarter of an hour, the battlefield still changed.

"Dong Zhuo of Xiliang is ordered to serve the king and protect the prince, so the soldiers who are not good for the prince are all rebels, kill!" Dong Zhuo rode his horse into the battlefield in the northwest direction, holding a flying swallow in his hand, rampant, invincible, and went straight into the battlefield In the northeast corner, from the northeast to the south of the battlefield, they went straight to the imperial guards of the Southern Army on the battlefield.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Liangzhou Army is called the Xiliang Army. Locally speaking, it is even wilder than Bingzhou. The Xiliang Army is also a frontier army, and its fighting power is more violent.

The southern army was at the northeast corner of the battlefield, intending to go up to the Sunset Pavilion from the north, to capture the Chinese army, and capture the prince and queen. However, Zhou Cang led his troops to resist.

"Xiliang Dong Zhuo?"

"It's the Xiliang Army!"

"No, Xiliang has sent troops!"

"Return to defense, quickly return to defense!"

Although the imperial guards of the southern army were the elite guarding the palace city, they were not as fierce as the frontier army. Under the impact of the Xiliang army, they collapsed immediately.

"How could this be?" Huangfu, the chief guard general, was taken aback.

However, he finally reacted quickly, and quickly organized defenses: "Quickly order all the ministries to gather, gather forces, and fight out!"

At this time, he was already thinking about the setting sun pavilion.

Avoiding the charge of the Xiliang army is the most important thing.

However, the battalions were defeated too quickly. After being rushed by the Xiliang army, the ranks did not form a rank, and they were scattered and killed. There were countless casualties, piles of corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers.

"Withdraw to the northeast!"

Huangfu's eyes were bloodshot, looking at the corpses all over the ground, looking at the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, he could only grit his teeth and order: "The whole army goes northeast and leaves the battlefield!"

Only by leaving the battlefield can the main force of the Imperial Guard be preserved.

Otherwise, they will be wiped out here.

As for the flank of the Bingzhou Army, they no longer cared about it.

"Report to the lord, we have defeated the southern army!"

Zhang Ji was the vanguard. After defeating the last imperial guards, he returned to report: "But the lord escaped!"

"Escaped?" Dong Zhuo frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"They fled from the northeast corner, and there is still a group of soldiers and horses outside to meet them, but they don't know where the soldiers and horses are. If they continue to chase, it will delay our time!"

"Leave them alone!" Dong Zhuo judged the situation and didn't care too much about the departure of the southern guards from the battlefield. It would be better if they left. After a long battle, even if they could be completely wiped out, the Bingzhou Army would react quickly. The loss outweighs the gain.

He thought for a while, and shouted, "Hua Xiong!"

"Here!" The mighty general Hua Xiong is a fierce general in the Xiliang army, his martial arts is second only to Dong Zhuo, even if Dong Zhuo loves Zhang Ji, he is far inferior to him.

"Lead [-] troops and go straight to the west city of Luoyang, block the city gate, there is no need to attack the city, but you can't let the Bingzhou army return to Luoyang!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly.

This is the time to encircle and suppress the Bingzhou army. If the Bingzhou army is allowed to return to Luoyang, relying on the high walls of Luoyang City, it will inevitably cause trouble. Only by fighting in the wild can the Bingzhou army be defeated more quickly.

"As ordered!"

General Hua Xiong led an army of three thousand, and went straight to Luoyang City in the west.

Dong Zhuo raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the flames and soldiers in the south. They were all Bingzhou Army. Only by defeating the Bingzhou Army can we complete the task of this battle: "Boys, defeating the Bingzhou Army is our mission. , pass on our military order, all the ministries must gather, and the main force will continue to kill from the south until the Bingzhou Army collapses!"

"Yes!"

The generals in Xiliang were ordered to gather their main force, and headed towards the Bingzhou army.

The right wing of the Bingzhou Army is close to the north. Originally, the southern army's imperial guards were used to protect them, but the southern army's imperial guards have collapsed and escaped under the strong attack of Xiliang. under the weapons of the army.

"kill!"

"Rush in!"

"Strangle them!"

The bravery of the Xiliang army was fully displayed at this time.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yang, the leader of the Wumeng Battalion, was facing the sunset pavilion with all his heart, when suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed straight to his abdomen, causing heavy casualties. His eyes widened, and he looked at the northern line of defense: "The imperial guards of the Southern Army, how could there be enemies?" The army came down from the north?"

"General, the defense of Hou Xin's trilogy in the north collapsed, and all eight hundred soldiers were killed!"

"Who is the military flag?"

"Xiliang, the military flag of Dong Zi!"

"Xiliang Army, damn it!"

Zhang Yang froze for a moment, and quickly ordered: "Order to gather all the soldiers and horses, and withdraw now. In addition, immediately send someone to tell the Lord Fu that the Xiliang army has attacked my right flank by surprise, and the Wumeng battalion has suffered heavy casualties. If we can't resist, we will send reinforcements immediately. "

"promise!"

The orderly soldiers carried the order flag on their backs and rode their horses south to report.

"The Xiliang army surprises our Wumeng camp from the north?"

In the middle camp of the Bingzhou Army, torches were erected one after another, reflecting a ray of light. Ding Yuan was staring at the Sunset Pavilion with all his attention, when he heard the news suddenly, he panicked and almost fell off his horse.

"Xiliang Army?" Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses: "It turns out that this is Mu Shan's backer, and he has formed an alliance with Dong Zhuo!"

Thinking of this, cold sweat continued to seep out of Lu Zhi's back.

The Nanyang Army is already very strong, plus the Xiliang Army, who else in Luoyang City can stop it.

"Dong Zhongying!"

Ding Yuan looked up to the sky and screamed. He had already received the news of the Xiliang army coming to the west, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He thought that the Xiliang army was just He Jin's army, but he never thought that the Xiliang army would actually form an alliance with Mushan .

"Jianyang, gather your troops quickly and switch from attack to defense, or the Bingzhou army will be finished!" Lu Zhi shouted loudly.

"Correct!"

Ding Yuan is also a veteran of many battles, and his reaction was quick: "Hurry up, let Zhang Liao withdraw the Shuofang camp!"

on the main battlefield.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"The Xiliang Army has launched an attack. They have already defeated the Imperial Guards of the Southern Army. They are heading south to attack the Bingzhou Army!"

"it is good!"

Mu Shan laughed loudly, and said: "Decree, all the battalions attack, entangle the Bingzhou Army, and they must not be allowed to retreat!"

"promise!"

The generals of all ministries obeyed and ordered to turn from defense to offense and attack in an all-round way.

"The enemy suddenly gave up their defense and made a strong attack?" At this time, Zhang Liao, who was still covered in the drum, shivered. Although he hadn't heard the news, he already had a bad premonition.

On the battlefield, he believed in the feeling of the opponent even more. He clenched his fist, and when he was advancing and retreating, he did not pursue and fight fiercely. Instead, he retreated decisively: "Send the order, don't touch head-on, retreat with the trend, retreat a hundred meters!"

This is an offensive and defensive distance, not far from [-] meters. It can be attacked or defended. As long as there is no problem, he can fight back in an instant. If there is a problem, it is just enough to retreat.

"Master Captain, wouldn't it be better for them to attack?"

"We should take advantage of the victory and pursue!"

Hearing this, the main generals of several episodes objected.

After fighting for several hours, they couldn't break through the opponent's defense. Now that the opponent let go of the defense, it happened to be an opportunity.

"Humph!"

Zhang Liao ran the army rigorously, and Shuofang Battalion was trained by him alone. He snorted coldly and said, "Anyone who violates the military order will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

All the generals can only take orders and take a slow approach.

"What a quick reaction?" Huang Shao had just ordered a counterattack, and the Bingzhou army on the other side retreated. He was a little surprised, his eyes were vivid, and he wanted to see the opponent's general through the light in the darkness.

"Wrap it up!" Mu Shan said in a deep voice.

"Ok!"

Huang Shao nodded and said.

"Still catching up, how courageous!" Zhang Liao eased the distance between the two sides, but he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side went further, and it was clear that they were going to engage in a stalking battle, which made him a little unsure.

"Lord Colonel!" A fast horse came galloping, and the messenger jumped off the horse and bowed his head to report: "Your Majesty has an order, retreat quickly!"

"withdraw?"

Zhang Liao frowned.

"The Xiliang army surprised our right flank, and the Wumeng Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Our army has been caught in the pincer attack from the northwest!" The messenger quickly reported the situation.

"Damn!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, a chill came to his heart, and he finally understood where the uneasiness came from: "Send the order, withdraw, withdraw quickly, don't love to fight!"

"Yes!"

All the military marquis hurried to the back.

"Master Captain, the soldiers and horses in front are too tight!" said a military marquis.

"You retreat first, after I'm done, Qin Wei Qu will follow me!"

Zhang Liao personally led five hundred guards to meet him.

The main force of the Shuofang battalion retreated slowly.

A night of chaos...

At dawn, after the defeat of the Bingzhou Army, the remnants gathered and returned to Luoyang City in the east.

"Finally escaped!" Lu Zhi said, "As long as we return to Luoyang, we still have hope!"

Luo Yang is already close at hand.

"kill!"

"Don't let one go!"

Suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed out from the left and right woods.

This is an ambush that the Xiliang army has already arranged, and the general is Hua Xiong.

"There is an ambush!"

"Go back, go back!"

And the state army retreated quickly.

Under the losing streak, the morale of the Bingzhou Army collapsed and failed to enter Luoyang City. They were pinched on a hill by soldiers from the northeast and the west.

The morning sun rose slowly, breaking through the darkness of the night.

On an unnamed hill less than three miles away from Luoyang, there are only less than [-] soldiers left in Bingzhou's remnant soldiers and Yuan Shu's tiger camp, camped here.

Ding Yuan stood and looked down at the three sides of the mountain.

The white scarf was wrapped around his left abdomen and back. Under the white scarf, blood seeped out. He was injured. Mu Shan personally shot a cold arrow, which hit the back, side and abdomen, but the distance was a little far, and it didn't hurt the vitals. location, so it's just a minor injury.

"Hahaha!!!!"

His bitter smile sounded vaguely: "I am too proud to have this failure!"

He was confident that no one could match the Bingzhou army, but he was defeated in the end.

"My lord, the Bingzhou Army has been surrounded, when will it launch an attack?" Huang Shao asked while looking at Mushan on the west side of the hillside.

"Now!"

Mu Shan said coldly: "Send orders to all directions, attack the Bingzhou Army!"

Now that he has fought, he will never be soft.

The Bingzhou Army is so brave that Luoyang cannot exist, which is not good for him. Luoyang City already has his army, and there is also the Xiliang Army. He does not need the Bingzhou Army.

"My lord, Mushan sent an order to attack!"

"Then attack!"

Dong Zhuo said: "You can't keep this Bingzhou army!"

"promise!"

The generals in Xiliang ordered a strong attack.

The siege war broke out completely...

　As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are too many scattered things at home, the update must be unstable, and it is impossible to make up the update, so we can only keep updating every day!
