Sun Jian led his men and horses into the territory of Jiangxia. After walking no more than five miles, he saw a puff of smoke and dust in front of him. There had been sentry horses to report, and the Jingzhou army was blocking the way. Sun Jian looked around and said: "The thieves are well on their way.
Come on! Let’s go and take a look at the front.”
The three armies swarmed forward and formed a formation. Sun Jian led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others out of the crowd and shouted: "Who are you waiting for? How dare you block the way of my army! Get out of the way quickly to avoid unnecessary disaster!"
On the opposite side, under the flag of the Jingzhou military gate, several generals also came out. The first general, holding an iron gun, pointed at Sun Jian and shouted: "Listen, you follow the order of my lord general, no one is allowed to borrow it."
The Tao uses troops. If you trample the wheat fields and destroy the wheat seedlings, I will forgive you for your ignorance and don't argue with you. I urge you to turn around quickly, otherwise I will not be lenient!"
Sun Jian was the governor of Lujiang. He didn't know that the governor was not a powerful figure in Jingzhou. When he saw that the person speaking out was just a military general, he thought that the governor of Jiangxia was greedy for life and feared death. He couldn't help laughing: "Sun Jian is here to ask you, the governor, to come out and answer.
"
Zhang He sneered and said loudly: "I am Zhang He, the general of Jingzhou. Even if the governor comes, I have the final say here! Sun Wentai, my lord knows that you are going to join the coalition to attack Dong Zhuo, and I don't want to argue with you. If you want to transit here,
There’s nothing wrong with it, as long as you take off your armor, swords and guns, I’ll treat you as merchants passing through the border and let you go!”
Sun Jian was furious: "Who can help me capture this man?"
Upon hearing this, Han Dang rushed forward, clapped his horse and brandished his sword, and shouted loudly: "Who will fight me to the death!"
Here, Lei Tong and Wu Lan had recently joined, and they both wanted to make meritorious deeds. Lei Tong dismounted his horse, drew his gun, rushed out of the formation, and fought with Han Dang. The two fought for more than ten rounds, and Lei Tong gradually
He was not strong enough. Wu Lan and Lei Tongqing were brothers. Seeing that he was in a bad situation, they shouted loudly and rushed to help. Zu Mao waved his two swords and intercepted him. The four generals caught the pair and killed him.
Zhang He saw clearly in the formation and knew that Lei Tong was no match for Han Dang. He was afraid that he might kill him, so he ordered to ring the gold. A gong sounded, Lei Tong and Wu Lan feinted, and they both returned to the formation defeated. Han Dang, Zu
Mao chased closely, but Lei Tong's horse was slow, and he was caught up by Han Dang. Han Dang shouted loudly, and raised his knife to chop him. Lei Tong heard the wind behind his head, turned his body, and Han Dang slashed him.
He cut off his helmet and slashed his left arm, causing blood to flow profusely. He couldn't hold the thunder copper reins, and he swayed and fell off the horse.
When Han Dang saw this, he was overjoyed. He reined up his horse and slashed with the sword. He turned over and struck Thunder Copper with his sword again. However, he heard a loud "dang" sound. Han Dang only felt his arm numb, but the sword was killed by a big iron halberd.
If you hold on tight, you can't cut it down anymore.
It turned out that Dian Wei saw in the formation that his own army had withdrawn its troops, while Han Dang and Zu Mao were still chasing after him. He became angry, waved his double iron halberds and rushed forward, which saved Lei Tong's life.
After Han Dang tried it, he already knew that Dian Wei was powerful and did not dare to neglect him. He gave up the thunder copper and came to fight Dian Wei. Seeing this, Zu Mao also waved his swords to help Han Dang. Dian Wei cheered up and used his strength.
The enemy's second general showed no fear at all. Soldiers from the Jingzhou Army had already rushed forward and rescued Lei Tong back to their own formation.
The fight lasted for five or six rounds, but Han Dang was still able to resist, but Zu Mao was already too weak. Huang Gai saw this from behind, raised his whip and slapped his horse and rushed forward, with three generals surrounding Dian Wei in the middle. Zhang He turned around and gave the order.
The drums were beaten to support the battle, and the shouts of killing were heard all of a sudden, and the sound of war drums resounded throughout the world.
Sun Jian watched from behind and was secretly frightened. He turned around and asked Cheng Pu, "Who is this yellow-faced man?"
Cheng Pu thought for a while and said: "Back to my lord, I once heard someone say that Liu Xin had a personal army, called the Flying Tigers, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu. This man wields a pair of large iron halberds, which is most likely Dian.
Wei.”
Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Three of them are still fighting against him. If this person is not eliminated, he will be in serious trouble in the long run! Send my order to the three armies and march forward bravely. We must take his life!"
Zhang He had long been paying attention to the movements in Sun Jian's army. When he heard the beating of war drums from the opposite side, he pointed his iron gun at the opposite side and shouted: "Kill!"
The two long dragons swarmed forward and soon collided with each other. In an instant, there were shouts of killing, the clang of weapons clashing, and the screams of people on the verge of death.
Liu Xin has always been opposed to having a general fight in a one-on-one battle first when two armies confront each other, and pays more attention to team fighting. However, the generals are not immune to the emperor's fate, so these people under him always choose to fight in a one-on-one battle. However, when the two armies
When it really fell into a melee, the Jingzhou Army's daily team combat training showed its effect. Sun Jian's attack target was directly at Dian Wei, but the Jingzhou Army's first priority in the melee was to protect the general, which didn't require anything at all.
Orders, daily training had long since developed their conditioned reflexes, and they naturally surrounded Dian Wei, Zhang He and others. There was no way Sun Jian's soldiers could rush to Dian Wei's side.
And these Jingzhou Army soldiers also automatically formed a group of thirty or fifty people, each with their own duties, offensive and defensive. When a soldier thrusts out the spear in his hand, he does not have to worry about attacks from the enemy. There are naturally others around him.
The brothers would use shields, swords and guns to help him resist. These are tacit understandings developed during long-term training that is almost actual combat, and all kinds of actions are almost done subconsciously.
On the other hand, although everyone in Sun Jian's army fought bravely and fought for the lead, they all fought independently. In the eyes of Zhang He and others, they were no more than a piece of loose sand. While attacking, each soldier often had to withstand attacks from four or five directions.
They have too much time to take care of their own attacks, so they have no spare time to help their comrades. In the same way, they don't need to expect the support of their comrades.
The melee only lasted for a while, but Sun Jian's troops could no longer resist. This was not an evenly matched fight, but turned into a one-sided massacre. Although the two sides were equal in number, in terms of individual combat power, the Jingzhou Army was obviously stronger.
For one thing, when it comes to tactical literacy, the two sides are even more incomparable.
Cheng Pu saw that the situation was not good, so he grabbed Sun Jian and said, "My lord, leave quickly! I will cut off the queen!"
Sun Jian turned his horse and headed back, with Huang Gai and Han Dang closely guarding him on the left and right.
Seeing that Sun Jian had left, Zhang He raised his iron spear upwards. The three armies received the order and quickly forced back the Lujiang soldiers and consolidated their positions.
Dian Wei looked at the Lujiang soldiers retreating like a tide, and asked in confusion: "Jun Yi, why don't you chase after him and capture Sun Jian alive?"
Zhang He shook his head and said: "I also want to capture Sun Jian and make a great contribution, but the lord has a strict order, as long as Sun Jian is driven out of Jingzhou, no pursuit is allowed. The lord is far-sighted and he repeatedly warned him, so naturally he will
It's logical, you and I just have to do it."
Under the protection of Huang Gai and others, Sun Jian ran all the way until he was more than ten miles inside the Lujiang River before he reined in the reins and gathered the defeated army and horses. He had already lost more than 5,000 men and all his generals were injured. Sun Jian started his career by suppressing the Yellow Turbans in the Qing Dynasty.
, had never suffered such a defeat, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I didn't expect Liu Xin to deploy all his elite troops in Jiangxia. It seems that he has been prepared for me. When I go to Luoyang, I must be on guard against Lujiang, and I must leave more troops."
A horse will do."
Cheng Pu cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have heard someone say that Liu Xin was full of strength in both civil and military affairs, and he was quite far-sighted in his youth. But in recent years, he has been greedy for money and lust, content with pleasure, and not thinking about progress. His subordinates just now should be
If we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, our army's casualties will definitely exceed 5,000. It can be seen that Liu Xin does not want to antagonize me. Since Jingzhou is not allowed to take advantage of the road, our army will pass through Runan, and it will not take more than a few days.
"
In the end, Sun Jian left behind 5,000 troops and only took 10,000 troops to Luoyang via Runan.
After learning that Sun Jian's army had left, Dian Wei also returned to Xiangyang with Lei Tong, who was seriously injured. While Liu Xin arranged for Lei Tong to go to medical school to recuperate, he also rushed to prepare for the expedition. Secret reports from phantoms also followed one after another.
First, some of the princes from the seventeen towns sent 30,000 troops, and some sent 10,000 to 20,000 troops, and they came to Luoyang one after another. Cao Cao met with the princes and unanimously elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Then, he appointed Sun Jian as the vanguard and led his troops to kill
Rush to Sishui Pass east of Luoyang. Sishui Pass, also known as Hulao Pass, is about thirty miles northwest of Xingyang. After receiving the urgent report, Dong Zhuo ordered Hua Xiong, Li Su and others to lead their troops to the pass at night to meet the enemy. Sun Jian first
After winning for a while, due to lack of food and grass, Hua Xiong robbed the camp at night and was severely defeated. Zu Mao, who was injured in Jiangxia and had not yet recovered, was also killed by Hua Xiong.
After receiving the report of defeat, Yuan Shao gathered all the princes to discuss countermeasures. Hua Xiong came to the pass to challenge, and successively killed Yu She under Yuan Shu and Pan Feng under Han Fu. All the princes were shocked, and only stood behind Gongsun Zan.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu secretly sneered.
Yuan Shao saw this and asked, "Who is standing behind Grand Administrator Gongsun?"
Gongsun Zan stood up and replied: "This is my classmate when I was young, Liu Bei, the magistrate of Pingyuan County."
When the princes heard that Liu Bei was just a county magistrate, they all showed disdain on their faces. Liu Bei didn't take it seriously and saluted the princes and said: "Although I am just a small county magistrate, I am also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
After King Jing of Zhongshan, he should do his best to punish traitors and eradicate evil, and help the country."
After Gongsun Zan heard Liu Bei's words, he was secretly surprised. He had known him for many years and had never heard that he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty. This guy had hidden it quite well.
However, none of the princes raised any objection to Liu Bei claiming to be a member of the Han Dynasty. Among the princes in the world, except Liu Xin, probably no one would oppose Liu Xie becoming the emperor. Not long after Liu Xie was born, his mother, Wang Meiren, was
Lian was killed, and there was no relative who held great power. Unlike Liu Bian, who had the Queen Mother regent internally and a general commanding the army externally. How many of these princes who raised troops had no selfish motives? They all knew that as long as they were driven away
After Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie was just a nine-year-old child. When he became the emperor, he was not a decoration. They had the final say in major and minor matters. When the princes raised their troops, they fought for the throne and punished the traitors and evildoers. Now they have the banner in the ranks.
The participation of the Han clan clan members is even more justified, regardless of whether the Han clan clan members are real or fake!
All the generals in Jingzhou knew that Liu Xin planned to send troops to Luoyang. When they heard about the battle at Hulao Pass, they all felt itchy and asked to lead troops to the expedition. Liu Xin, however, remained calm and calm, and did not move his troops until one day.
After receiving the news from the phantom secret agent stationed in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo personally mobilized an army of 200,000 to assist Hulao Pass. Then he clapped his hands and laughed: "The time has come! Call all the civil and military personnel to discuss matters in the front hall!"
