Chapter 257 [Ambush]

Chapter 260 Eight [Ambush]

It is more than a day's journey away from Hangu Pass on a long and narrow half-valley slope.There is an army waiting to hunt in ambush here, with nearly ten thousand people, led by Zhang Ji, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others.

According to Li Ru's arrangement, some of them stationed at Hangu Pass, and some of them lay in ambush outside Hangu Pass, waiting for their prey.

"General, we found the enemy." A sentinel rushed to report.

Everyone was excited, they waited for these days and finally the prey came.

Li Meng asked the sentinel: "Can you find out how many people are there?"

"Returning to General Li, the enemy's strength should be around [-]. There are three banners, namely: Cao, Kong, and Liu." The sentinel replied respectfully.

"The flags of Cao and Kong should be the troops led by Cao Cao and Kong Rong. As for the flag with the character Liu, it is a bit strange. There is no prince with the surname Liu among the eighteen princes. Who is it?" Zhang Ji stroked his chin and analyzed road.

Wang Fang dismissed it, and said: "Whoever he is, there are only about ten thousand people, as long as they come, they will come and never come back!"

Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Li Meng stayed behind at Hangu Pass according to Li Ru's order, and laid ambushes to annihilate the vanguard of the Alliance Army heading to Chang'an.

Although Li Ru had expected that the allied forces of the princes would arrive at Luoyang City, and seeing that Luoyang City was burned, they would inevitably collapse after finding Yuxi.

But it is inevitable that those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty or who want to win fame and fortune will not give up, and they will definitely raise their troops to Chang'an.

In order to teach these people a lesson, Li Rucai arranged this hunt.

"Uncle, is this Cao Cao who came here this time the Cao Cao who assassinated Dong Zhuo and initiated the alliance of princes?" Zhang Xiu asked Zhang Ji curiously and excitedly.

Zhang Xiu is Zhang Ji's nephew and also Zhang Ji's servant. Zhang Ji loves him very much and treats him as his own son.

Hearing Zhang Xiu call Dong Zhuo's name directly, Li Meng and Wang looked unhappy.After all, they used to be Dong Zhuo's former subordinates. Although Dong Zhuo was dead, he felt very uncomfortable when he was called by his name directly by Zhang Xiu.

However, Zhang Ji didn't care.He was originally attached to Guo Bang, and he didn't like Dong Zhuo.

"That's right, it should be this Cao Cao, but don't underestimate him, or you will suffer a lot." Zhang Ji smiled and warned.

Zhang Xiu looked excited, "That's really great, if my nephew can take off Cao Cao's head this time, wouldn't it be a great achievement!"

"Nonsense, don't underestimate the enemy, follow my orders later!" Zhang Ji's face changed, he reprimanded Zhang Xiu, and then said to Wang Fang and Li Meng: "You two generals, we should prepare now, the guests are coming .”

After a stick of incense, the [-] troops led by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Kong Rong will soon enter the ambush circle of Zhang Ji and others.

The three brothers Liu Bei brought three thousand soldiers sent by Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao owned almost all of his family's five thousand soldiers, and Kong Rong also had five thousand soldiers.

At this time, dusk is approaching.

"How long does it take for elder brother to arrive at Hangu Pass?" Zhang Fei couldn't wait to rush to Hangu Pass to fight the enemy.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei, "Third Brother, can't you wait any longer? Don't worry, the enemy will not be able to run away. Our three brothers will definitely defeat the enemy army by then!"

The three brothers rode side by side. Liu Bei listened to what Zhang Fei and Guan Yu said, and told him, "There is still a day's journey to reach Hangu Pass, but the enemy will definitely defend Hangu Pass to the death. Second and third brothers must not be careless."

Liu Bei's team is in the front, Kong Rong's team is in the middle, and Cao Cao's team is in the back.More than ten thousand people rushed to Hangu Pass.

They planned to pass through Xiegu before it was dark, and then stationed there, and went to Hangu Pass to fight the enemy tomorrow.

When Kong Rong's team reached the center of the inclined valley, arrows rained suddenly from both sides of the inclined valley, and the entire inclined valley was full of arrows flying out continuously.

"No, big brother has an ambush!" Zhang Fei shouted, and hurriedly waved his spear to block the arrows.

Guan Yu has a big sword in his hand, more than enough to defend himself, and he is close to Liu Bei to defend him against arrows at any time, "Brother, be careful."

"I'm fine, second brother, third brother be careful. We must rush out of the inclined valley!" Liu Bei shouted while dodging.

On the other side, Dianwei and Xiahoudun guarded Cao Cao's safety with all their strength.

"It's really careless. I didn't expect the enemy to set up an ambush outside Hangu Pass. Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun led the soldiers to fight out!" Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, and he had invited Xun Yu to come with him.

"Yes, my lord!" Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun took orders and told Dian Wei: "You must protect your lord!"

"Don't worry, Dian Wei will definitely protect the Lord's safety." Dian Wei nodded seriously.

Wave after wave of arrows, and then rolling stones, giant trees.

"what"

There were screams in the inclined valley, and the scene was very miserable.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops out of Xiegu, but they encountered the enemy army waiting outside.

"No, there is also an ambush here. Second brother, third brother, turn around and kill back!" Liu Bei roared loudly.

In such a predicament, in less than half an hour, more than half of the [-] troops led by Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Kong Rong had been lost.

"kill"

"Kill!"

Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, Li Meng and others led the ambush army to launch a charge, preparing to deal Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others a final blow.

"Follow me, don't run around."

When Zhang Ji led the army down the inclined valley, he told Zhang Xiu beside him.

However, Zhang Xiu had already rode a horse, brandished the spear in his hand, and rushed towards the place with the flag with the word Cao.

"General Zhang, your nephew is no longer here. I will lead the people to destroy the Liu Ziqi people, and the other two parties will be handed over to you two." After Li Meng finished speaking, he rushed to Liu Bei's side with his subordinates.

Wang Fang nodded, and led the people towards Kong Rong.

"Hey" Zhang Ji sighed, and had no choice but to chase Zhang Xiu and run towards Cao Cao's camp.

Cao Cao's side is about to retreat from Xiegu, not wanting Zhang Xiu to kill him suddenly.

"Cao Cao, today is your death day, and the person who killed you is me, Zhang Xiu!"

Flying horse came, Zhang Xiu spear in hand, pointing at Cao Cao himself.

Zhang Xiu charged all the way, and the soldiers couldn't stop him. His good marksmanship made it hard to stop him.

Seeing that Cao Cao was approaching, Zhang Xiu jumped up and shouted, "Cao Cao, take your life!"

Cao Cao's body was already stained with blood, he looked up at the person named Zhang Xiu who was rushing towards him, wanting to kill him.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was young, but brave and uncommon, inexplicably love talents arose in his heart, and said in his mouth: "This person is really amazing!"

"Cultivate wildly!"

Dian Wei was covered in blood, and suddenly rose violently, facing Zhang Xiu who was killing him.

"Drink, stop for me!"

Vigorously waving the double halberds in his hands, Dian Wei blocked Zhang Xiu's horse directly.Afterwards, the two halberds slashed at Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu jumped off the horse, and the two fought together.

After more than a dozen rounds, Zhang Xiu gradually lost the wind.

"Come again!"

Zhang Xiu was dissatisfied and shouted at Dian Wei.

At this time, Zhang Ji brought people to support.

"Dian Wei must not be reckless, it is important to protect the lord." Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong ran over.
