"Oops, I've fallen into a trap!" Lu Bu shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"
As soon as the general shouted that he had been tricked, the Xiliang soldiers, who were originally lax in military discipline, started to scatter one by one.
Lu Bu was furious and rode back to help.
Red Rabbit's horse is very fast, Lu Bu rides Juechen, and they rush back alone, regardless of the troops behind them.
In Hulao Pass, Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals had been exchanging cups and cups before Sun Jian came to kill them. Li Jue also captured several women on the way there for Guo Si and other generals to enjoy together.
"Haha..." Guo Bang patted the butt of the woman next to him with satisfaction, and said to Guo Bang in a sinister manner: "Li Jue, you girls are really good, these untouched ones are not
Same thing!"
Li Jue laughed loudly and said: "Of course, although..."
Before Li Jue finished speaking, he heard shouts of death coming from Hulao Gate.
"Scared? The enemy is attacking?" Li Jue didn't bother to put on his armor, and hurriedly put on his pants. He didn't care whether it was cold or not, and rushed out with his gun in hand.
Guo Si and other generals also heard that something was wrong, so they all got dressed and those in trousers were in trousers. They were so embarrassed.
By the time these people were organized, Sun Jian's leading troops had already boarded Hulao Pass.
"Bang!" Li Jue kicked one of Sun Jian's soldiers off the parapet. He turned to Guo Si and said, "Damn it, how many people does Sun Jian have?"
In the darkness, even if there were torches, it would not be very clear. In addition, Sun Jian was beating drums on all sides, which made both Li Jue and Guo Si think that all the people in the pass were people.
"Pfft!" After Guo Bin chopped down a soldier of Sun Jian's army with his sword, he shouted: "What about Lu Fengxian? Isn't he in Guanxia?"
Li Jue's face turned red and he responded: "I don't even know what to do, what should I do?"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Guo Si immediately said: "I think we can retreat otherwise!"
Li Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "What should Lu Bu do?"
Guo Bang shouted: "Who the hell cares about him? Run away!"
Li Jue nodded and said, "Wait a little longer!"
On Lu Bu's side, Lu Bu and his men rushed into the rear of Sun Jian's army, trying to get past. Unexpectedly, they had just run not far when they heard the "bounce" of string strings on both sides of the road.
Lu Bu was extremely skilled in martial arts and blocked all the arrows with his own strength.
In the darkness, Lu Bu's force also shocked Han Dang. Han Dang said: "What the fuck, this Lu Bu is so powerful? Shoot for me, shoot that stupid thing to death!"
"Swish, swish, swish..." The sound of bows and arrows was heard endlessly, but Lu Bu still relied on his personal force and the flexibility of the red rabbit horse to wander behind Sun Jian's army. Although he could not pass through Sun Jian's army, it also caused damage to Sun Jian's army.
A lot of trouble.
"My son, Sun Jian, you and I are at odds with each other!" Lu Bu roared, waving the Fang Tian Painted Halberd like a killing god.
The soldiers of Sun Jian's army looked at Lu Bu and did not dare to step forward for a moment.
"Fuck me!" Han Dang kicked a soldier's butt, "What are you afraid of? Your father will take care of you if you die!"
The soldier glanced at Han Dang resentfully, gritted his teeth, and charged forward with his spear drawn.
Just hearing the sound of "ah", before the soldier could react, Lu Bu had already killed him.
"Hiss!" Han Dang was confused and thought: My lord wants me to hold Lu Bu down. Well, it seems that the best way to deal with Lu Bu in the dark is to use a bow and arrow!
Having made up his mind, Han Dang ordered: "Give me the order, let the archers shoot for me, don't be stingy, just call them all on Lu Bu, I don't believe it, can't you shoot him to death?"
After Han Dang ordered to increase the amount of arrows fired, Lu Bu had to retreat on horseback.
At this time, the large army followed. When Lu Bu saw the troops coming, he raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and shouted: "Brothers, attack us. The people in Hulao Pass are still waiting for us to rescue them!"
Although the Xiliang army has loose military discipline, its combat effectiveness is unquestionable.
With the addition of the army, Lu Bu asked Han to guard the rear of Sun Jian's army, and the war immediately became tense.
At Hulao Pass, Sun Jian had already led his men to break the gate. As soon as the gate was broken, the vanguard troops poured into the pass like a tide.
The two armies faced off head-on. Although Sun Jian's army was not as tough as the Xiliang soldiers, in terms of cooperation and mutual understanding, they were on par with the Xiliang soldiers' undisciplined army.
"Boom!" After Sun Jian knocked down a Xiliang soldier with the handle of the ancient ingot sword, he rolled his eyes and shouted: "Lü Bu has been shot to death by random arrows, Lu Bu has been shot to death by random arrows...
"
In the darkness, no one had any idea who shouted these words, but just because of such a loud voice, the Hulao Pass defenders were thrown into confusion.
"What, Lu Bu was shot to death?"
Guo Si squeezed towards Li Jue and said, "Then Lu Bu has been shot to death. If we don't leave yet, when will we wait?"
Li Jue chopped down a vanguard soldier, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, retreat, I'll evacuate them all, retreat to Luoyang!"
As soon as Li Jue gave his order, the Xiliang soldiers retreated quickly like water released from a flood.
The two generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Cheng Pu were about to start a killing spree when they suddenly realized why the Xiliang soldiers were getting fewer and fewer. When they were waiting to finish off the remaining soldiers in front of them, the two generals discovered that all the Xiliang garrison at Hulao Gate had been withdrawn.
"This..." Before Huang Gai could react, he asked Cheng Pu, "De Mou, these Xiliang soldiers are running away too fast..."
Cheng Pu also found it incomprehensible that after the battle was halfway through, people disappeared.
"Don't underestimate the enemy when it comes to public defeat. I think this may be a delaying tactic by the enemy. In that case, let me go and discuss it with my lord!"
Huang Gai nodded: "That's fine!"
...
Sun Jian also felt incredible after hearing Cheng Pu's report, but the chance of victory or defeat was fleeting and he could not think more about it.
Sun Jian said: "In that case, Demo, you will guard Hulao Pass, and I and I will return to the aid of Lord Yoshi!"
Behind Sun Jian's army, Han Dang relied on the advantage of night and bows and arrows to hold Lu Bu's troops unable to advance.
After Lu Bu provoked a soldier of Sun Jian's army, he was so depressed that his lungs almost exploded with anger.
Not far away, Hulao Pass was closed, and the fighting had stopped. The scouts reported the battle, and Hulao Pass was lost.
Lu Bu felt so hateful in his heart. These consecutive battles were really frustrating.
"Forget it, the Anti-Justice Father also said that he won't blame me, so I'll retreat too!"
After making the decision, Lu Bu did not hesitate and issued an order to the entire army to retreat.
It was impossible to retreat from Hulao Pass, so we could only go around the mountains.
Sun Jian led Cheng Pu and other generals to come to the aid of Han. Only then did they hear that Lu Bu had retreated.
"Lord, should we..."
Sun Jian shook his head: "Don't chase after the poor enemy. Although our strategy is appropriate in this battle, the losses are also huge. Let's enter the customs and count the number of people."
...
Jujube, Allied Forces Camp.
Han Fu rushed back with his army and happened to meet Yuan Shu face to face.
Yuan Shu felt strange and asked Han Fu: "Eh? Wenjie, why are you back?"
Han Fu didn't blush, and only said one sentence to Yuan Shu: "You understand!"
After Han Fu finished speaking, he didn't stop.
Yuan Shu was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"Yes, I understand!"
Since Cao Cao lent part of his army rations to Sun Jian, Cao Cao adjusted his troops, leaving soldiers with weaker combat effectiveness to guard, while he led his elite troops to cooperate with Sun Jian in attacking the key points.
In the camp, Ma Xiaoquan asked Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, how much did you lose in this battle?"
Cao Cao shook his head and said distressedly: "Three hundred!"
Ma Xiaoquan was also secretly surprised. The fighting power of Dong Zhuo's army was indeed strong. It was still at night and it was a sneak attack. If there was a head-on confrontation, with such a small number of soldiers, they would probably only be able to give Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers a beating.
"Lord Immortal, Luoyang is right in front of you, do we want it?"
Ma Xiaoquan said sincerely: There is no point in going now. I guess Dong Zhuo has already started to burn down Luoyang! Even if he goes there, it will be of no use. Moreover, Sun Jian is still waiting to get the jade seal to pass on the country. If you go, it will only cause trouble.
Ma Xiaoquan advised: "No need to go, it's too late for you to go to Luoyang now."
Cao Cao was shocked and asked: "Why...didn't you say..."
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun ran in sweating profusely.
"Mengde, Mengde, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"
"Huh?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and asked, "Yuan Rang, why are you so panicked?"
Xiahou Dun took a few breaths and said: "Luoyang, Luoyang is on fire..."
"What?" Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly left the camp.
The fire in Luoyang was due to Dong Zhuo's atrocities.
It is said that after Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, he saw that Li Ru had basically searched Luoyang, so he ordered the capital to be moved to Chang'an. When moving the capital, he forced the nobles and civilians in Luoyang to accompany him. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed in the street and killed.
As they were walking, they set fires along the way. At this moment, the sky-wide flames illuminated the earth, and at the same time, the sound of crying was loud. It was so miserable...
Dong Zhuo was alone in the car, pinching the arm of a little slave girl next to him with satisfaction, completely ignoring what was happening outside the car...
Sun Jian also saw the fire in Luoyang. Due to the seriousness of the situation, Sun Jian gave up his plan to pursue Dong Zhuo.
"Demo, how much food and grass do we have for our army?"
Cheng Pu stepped forward and said: "My lord, we had a previous confrontation with the enemy, and a lot of our food and grass were burned by them."
When Sun Jian heard that the food and grass were being burned, he suddenly lost his mind.
"Pass my order to inform other colleagues about what happened in Luoyang."
Jujube, Allied Forces Camp.
Yuan Shao and other princes were shocked when they heard the news about the fire in Luoyang.
Han Fu said: "That old thief Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind..."
"Yes, if I meet Thief Dong, I will kill his whole family..."
"Okay, you, with the little force you have, you still want to fight Dong Zhuo, so save it..."
...
Yuan Shu curled his lips and said nothing.
"Okay!" Yuan Shao slapped the desk, "The most urgent thing is, let's go take a look together and talk about it later."
In the afternoon of the next day, after the coalition forces reunited with Sun Jian, Cao Cao and others, they discussed what to do.
In the coalition camp, Sun Jian publicly accused Han Fu of not allocating food and grass. Han Fu posed the problem to Yuan Shu, saying that Yuan Shu did not give him enough military food, so he could not dispatch it.
Yuan Shu, on the other hand, was doing Tai Chi, letting Sun Jian get angry as he grunted and hahaed, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Sun Jian was very angry and said: "I, Mr. Sun, have taken the lead since the establishment of the coalition. I thought that I was the vanguard of the coalition, breaking through the Si River and seizing the tiger's prison. When you were an alliance with blood, you kept talking about sharing the joys and sorrows, but now what?
, Mr. Sun is in the front charging for everyone, but you are hiding in the back, drinking and having fun every day, Han Fu, you coward, Mr. Sun looks down on you, and you, Yuan Shu, talk sweetly and use swords...
." The more Sun Jian talked, the angrier he became, and the angrier he got, the more he cursed. Except for Cao Cao, all the princes were basically scolded.
"Yuan Benchu... I want you to be the leader of the alliance, and you sit in your position, but you don't seek your position. You are a nepotist. I am really ashamed of you, the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family..."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Sun Jian could actually get Yuan Shao in with his scolding. Although Yuan Shao did not do anything, he was also the leader of the alliance. After all, Sun Jian scolded you like this. Do you still want to join the alliance?
?
Sure enough, Sun Jian's words made Yuan Shao unable to sit still. With a "Qiang" sound, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword, pointed at Sun Jian and responded: "Sun Wentai, don't toast me and you will be punished with wine!"
Sun Jian pulled out the ancient ingot sword and said sternly: "If we have different ways, we can't work together. Since there is no room for my grandson in the coalition, let's say goodbye!"
As he spoke, Sun Jian returned the ancient ingot sword to its scabbard, walked up to Cao Cao, and bowed his hands respectfully to Cao Cao: "Thank you very much, Meng De, for your help. When I return to Changsha, I will repay Meng De for his great kindness!"
, Sun Jian walked out of the camp with his head held high.
Outside the camp, Sun Jian's generals were filled with indignation after hearing the news. Huang Gai, after all, walked up to Sun Jian and asked quietly: "My lord, Luoyang has been burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo. Do we still need to enter Luoyang?"
"
Sun Jian raised his eyebrows: "Since we have left the coalition forces, let's go in and take a look. Maybe we will find something!"
...
Yuan Shao was angry and left Sun Jian. He was not ashamed but proud of it. The princes from all walks of life also accused Sun Jian of being unkind. This incident passed in such an incredible way.
Someone asked Yuan Shao: "Leader, can we enter Luoyang?"
Yuan Shao hesitated.
Yuan Shu suggested: "Now Luoyang has become a ruined capital. If we go in, the city will be filled with hungry people. Will you save them or not?"
The princes from all walks of life fell silent.
Cao Cao said, "Even if we don't go in, we must still pursue Dong Zhuo. I think Dong Zhuo burned down Luoyang and robbed a lot of treasures. This trip will definitely be slow. Why don't we divide our troops into several groups?"
If we hunt down Thief Dong together, we will definitely succeed. What do we think of our alliance?"
Yuan Shao opened his mouth and talked "this, this, this" for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Cao Cao advised the other princes: "Since everyone is here and gathered here, isn't it just to attack Dong's thieves? If we are too late and wait for Dong's thieves to return to Chang'an, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Dong Zhuo will reorganize his army by then.
Counterattack, by then, who of you can resist the trampling of the Xiliang cavalry?"
Cao Cao's words moved some people. The people who were just moved were about to respond to Cao Cao when they heard a burst of laughter.
Taking a closer look, it's Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu laughed at Cao Cao and said: "Cao Mengde, you only have 5,000 soldiers in total. You are chasing after you. Seventy-eight hundred of you died at Hulao Pass in Sishui Pass. After all, you have less than 5,000 soldiers now. Then Dong
A really skinny camel is bigger than a horse no matter what. You have only five thousand soldiers and horses, aren't you just giving me a tooth-punching sacrifice?"
Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shu with disgust and said, "I only have five thousand troops, but what about everyone? Don't we all add up to too many?"
ps: In fact, historically, Yuan Shao was stationed in Yecheng, while Cao Cao was stationed in Suanzao. However, whether in the novel or in most of the novels, Yuan Shao and other allied forces were all tied together and stationed there.
In Suanzao, Xiaojue won't do anything special, otherwise the subsequent plot will be difficult to write, so let's just go with it.
