Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 182 The Battle of Sishui Pass (1)

The night passed quickly, and in the early morning of the next day, as the horns of the Allied camp sounded, Zhao Lei and Sun Jian's army began to slowly gather in the camp.In terms of numbers, Zhao Lei's team is more than double that of Sun Jian's.

And Zhao Lei, accompanied by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, walked out of the barracks in the city.At the gate of Chenliu's west city, Yuan Shao stepped forward and patted Zhao Lei on the shoulder, saying, "Zihan! This time you and Brother Wentai are the vanguard of our allied army, and you are the deputy leader of our allied army. Moreover, the Yangzhou soldiers are the main force of our allied forces, so A Man and I have high hopes for you! I hope you can start victorious and conquer Sishui Pass."

Zhao Lei smiled slightly, clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and said, "Leader and Brother Meng De, don't worry! Zihan will definitely take down Sishui Pass! Let that bandit Dong know how powerful our allies are!" After finishing speaking, Zhao Lei turned to everyone As soon as the princes bowed, they turned around and walked towards the horse next to them. One of them got on the horse and took the Lei Guangjian handed over by the soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Liao also brought three thousand Shi Jun troops to the gate of the city. The big "Zhao" character on the Shi Jun military flag fluttered in the wind.Zhao Lei rode his horse to the front of Shi Junying, ready to set off.When Zhang Liao saw him, he rode his horse and came to Zhao Lei. He glanced at the people standing at the gate of the city, and whispered in Zhao Lei's ear, "My lord! Last night, Mr. Wang's dead men in Chenliu City came to report that two groups of people had already left. Chen Liucheng seems to want to beat us to the Sishui Pass!"

"Whose army horse?" Zhao Lei asked.

"I didn't investigate this clearly. It was already late at that time, and I couldn't see the flag of the opposing team clearly." Zhang Liao said.

Zhao Lei smiled slightly, but he was somewhat puzzled.In fact, Zhao Lei vaguely remembered this incident in history, but he didn't remember which group of people rushed to fight Sishuiguan before him, but the result was that this group of people was defeated and returned.

But having said that, how could Sishuiguan Huaxiong be so easy to deal with?In official history, Sun Jian also took a lot of effort to kill Hua Xiong.

But having said that, now is not the time to think about such things.So Zhao Lei turned his horse's head around, clasped his fists again and shouted at the crowd: "My lords! Zhao Lei will go!"

"Take care!" "General Zhao take care!" "I wish General Zhao victory!"

Although the princes from all walks of life had their own ghosts in their hearts, they still responded to Zhao Lei on the surface, and even Yuan Shu had to bow his hands and put on a show.Zhao Lei didn't care much about these people's true feelings. With a wave of his hand, the army started.Zhao Lei led the Yangzhou soldiers and started heading west!

In fact, from the perspective of the route, Chen Liu did not have to take the route of Sishuiguan and Hulaoguan to Luoyang, but he could also take a detour to Henan County to attack Luoyang.But the key is to take this road without detours.Moreover, the base camp of the princes is in Chenliu, which is the closest to Sishui Pass, so the princes chose Sishui Pass as the first point of attack.

Zhao Lei and Sun Jian's allied vanguard army, that is, the troops that cleared up wasteland, aimed to clear the way for the army behind.But now it seems that Zhao Lei's Yangzhou army doesn't need to spend too much trouble at all.From Chenliu to Sishuiguan, most of them are plain areas, and the road is unimpeded. On this road, not only did no enemies come to stop them, but there were many volunteers composed of ordinary people who heard that Zhao Lei was going to attack Dong Zhuo. It is to come to take effect.Of course, Zhao Lei would not refuse any of these soldiers who came to his door.

When Yangzhou soldiers arrived in Xingyang, they had added nearly 2000 soldiers!Of course, to Zhao Lei, these more than [-] people were all helpless civilians who had no fighting power at all.In fact, they followed Zhao Lei just to get a bite of food.Zhao Lei has always loved the common people, so he naturally let them stay in the army.

After rushing to Xingyang, the prefect of Xingyang was originally Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong, but after the alliance of the princes of the Kanto, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Xu Rong and Xingyang's troops to return to Luoyang.After all, Xingyang City is just a fortified city, and its defense is much worse than that of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass.Moreover, Xingyang's geographical location is relatively far away from Luoyang. During the war, it is difficult to transport materials and it is easy to be surrounded, so Dong Zhuo decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Without the prefect, without troops, Xingyang City is tantamount to an empty city.So that day, Zhao Lei took Yangzhou soldiers to station in Xingyang, but he did not rush to enter Sishui Pass.Zhao Lei is waiting, waiting for the news that those who rushed to grab the pass were defeated!
And the soldiers secretly sent by Liu Dai and Yuan Shu didn't make Zhao Lei wait any longer. The Yangzhou soldiers only stayed in Xingyang for one night. The next morning, a defeated army fled back from the west.

"It turned out to be the troops of Yuan Shu and Liu Dai. Two idiots, good defeat!" Hearing the news from the sergeant, Zhao Lei stood in the hall and said disdainfully, while Zhang Han frowned tightly, saying nothing send.

"Brother?" Seeing Zhao Lei's disdain and excitement, Zhao Yun asked with some doubts: "Why is my lord so happy to hear the defeat of the allied forces ahead?"

"Where did Zilong see that I was happy?" Zhao Lei asked in surprise.

"Elder Brother was calm on the surface just now, but I could still see that he was somewhat happy." Zhao Yun explained.

Zhao Lei laughed and glanced at Zhang Han, but Zhang Han still had that inscrutable look, smiling without saying a word.Zhao Lei turned his head and said to Zhao Yun and the others: "Zilong! Yuan Shu, a prodigal son, wanted to take my credit, but failed miserably. How could I be unhappy? And I knew that these people would suffer defeat at Sishui Pass, and they would definitely lose. It was miserable! I remember that the guard of Sishuiguan was Guo Si, and the deputy general Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong was a first-class master! Guo Si’s overall situation was highly valued by Dong Zhuo! Those princes only sent some small soldiers and young generals, how could it be possible? Defeat them both! However, after thinking about it, I couldn't be happier!"

Zhao Lei said that Hua Xiong is a first-class master, which made Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Liao very interested.Master!They have been under Zhao Lei for a long time, as long as Zhao Lei says they are masters, they will definitely be close!Immediately, Zhang Liao turned to Zhao Lei with bright eyes and said, "My lord, how does Hua Xiong's martial arts compare to mine?"

Regarding Zhang Liao's reaction, Zhao Lei just smiled and didn't say much. This was just a normal reaction of a martial arts practitioner, so there was nothing much to say.Immediately Zhao Lei ignored Zhang Liao and continued, "Hua Xiong is very skilled, and Guo Si is talented as a general. I'm afraid this trip to Sishui Pass will not be easy."

As a matter of fact, spies from the Allied forces had already discovered the information about the Sishui Pass. All the generals knew that Guo Si and Hua Xiong were guards, but they didn't know their details.But after hearing what Zhao Lei said, everyone understood.

"Brother, Sishui Pass was originally a dangerous pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo is also famous for its tough combat power. If Guo Si and Hua Xiong are really as the Lord said, then this Sishui Pass It's not that easy to break through!" Zhao Yun said calmly, with some worry in his tone.

And Zhang Han did have a smile on his face at this time, seeming very confident.In fact, Sishuiguan is difficult to beat, and it's not all bad.At least Liu Bei's chances of dying in battle will increase due to the difficulty of Sishui Pass, which is good news for them.

At this time, Zhang Liao yelled at Zhao Lei again: "Zilong! What's so difficult about this! My lord, just give me 2000 troops, and I'll take care of taking down that Sishui pass, and take that Huaxiong, Guo Si, everything! You are not an opponent of my Shi Junying!"

Zhao Lei smiled and ignored Zhang Liao.If Hua Xiong is really that easy to deal with, why should Zhao Lei worry about it!Therefore, Zhao Lei continued to say to the generals: "But now our army has a chance! Although Yuan Shu and Liu Dai's army were defeated before, Hua Xiong won a big victory, and he will definitely be overjoyed! The so-called arrogant soldiers must be defeated, when the time comes, we will be defeated." There must be a chance!"

Although I don't know why Zhao Lei brought up that Xu Rong again, but after hearing what Zhao Lei said, it seems that Sishuiguan is not difficult to attack, and the generals are a little puzzled. , what exactly do you want to say?
Zhao Lei said to the generals with a smile at this time: "Okay, in fact, no matter whether it is difficult to attack or easy to attack, we have to attack. Now is the time for us to attack Sishui Pass. I don't know which general is interested Fight against the mighty Hua Xiong?"

The first one to respond, of course, was Zhang Liao, who immediately jumped up and shouted at Zhao Lei, "I! I! My lord! I'll go! I'll go!"

"Hmph! Of course I'll come first!" Even Gao Shun, who has always been calm, said.He glanced at Zhang Liao, and said: "General Wen Yuan, let's take care of your Shi Junying!".What Gao Shun said made sense. After all, Zhang Liao was the commander of the Shi Army, so how could he fight so impulsively.

Zhang Liao was not convinced when he heard this, and opened his mouth to refute, but before he could open his mouth, Zhao Yun on the side shouted, "Stop arguing, you all! Didn't you hear what elder brother said just now? That Hua Xiong is a master! You guys It's definitely not his opponent, of course I want Zhao Zilong to fight in person!" Immediately after Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, who has always been silent, also showed a fiery fighting intent at this moment, clasped his fists at Zhao Lei and said: "My lord, Dian Wei please fight. "

When Zhao Yun and Dian Wei said this, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun didn't dare to speak anymore, because they couldn't beat Zhao Yun's skill.

"Hahahaha! It's done! It's done!" Seeing that the fighting spirit of the generals had been provoked, Zhao Lei couldn't help laughing, and shouted at the generals.

"The candidate for this battle against Huaxiong, I think..."

"Slow!" Zhao Lei was interrupted by a majestic voice at the door.
