Looking at Zhang Xiu's body and then at the tense battlefield, Gao Shun suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He immediately rode forward, picked up Zhang Xiu's body with the tip of his spear, and shouted: "Your coach is dead!"
What will happen if you don’t surrender!”
Although Dian Wei was rough and arrogant, he was by no means stupid. Hearing Gao Shun shout like this, he quickly understood what he meant and followed Gao Shun and shouted: "Your coach is dead! Surrender quickly!"
Dian Wei's voice was more than one level louder than Gao Shun's. In addition, as the two men kept shouting, gradually the surrounding coalition soldiers began to shout too. One after another, a loud voice was heard.
Wave after wave, constantly echoing in the night sky.
The morale of the Xiliang army was once again greatly reduced.
Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji is a veteran general under Dong Zhuo's account. Although his ability is not high, he is trusted by Dong Zhuo. His status in the Xiliang army is second only to Li Jue, Guo Si, Li Ru and other few people. Zhang Xiu is Zhang Ji's nephew.
In addition to his handsome appearance and superb martial arts, he was naturally very favored by Dong Zhuo. Zhang Xiu had helped suppress the rebellion in the North a few years ago and was somewhat famous. However, at that time, he had not followed his uncle Zhang Ji to join the army.
Dong Zhuo's tent, so he still had no merit in the Xiliang army. This time Xu Rong was ordered to ambush the pursuers. Zhang Ji wanted to let his nephew gain some credit, so he arranged for Zhang Xiu to serve as Xu Rong.
Lieutenant General. However, he did not expect that Zhang Xiu would die before the victory was achieved.
The soldiers in the chaotic army were not clear about the situation. In addition, the sight was not good under the night. Those who were far away could not see clearly, and those who were close could only get a rough look. With such coaxing, a quarrel soon broke out.
Because Zhang Ji loved Zhang Xiu very much, and the armors he equipped were all of the highest quality, even better than the armor Xu Rong wore, so much so that Dian Wei even felt like "I can't really kill him."
If you defeat the opponent's general, it will be a great achievement!" and other thoughts.
"General Xu is dead!" Such shouts could be heard everywhere in the Xiliang army. Once the news of the death of the general in the formation appeared, the impact on the morale of the army could not be described simply by the word "huge". If
It was an ordinary ragtag army, which had long since dispersed. Fortunately, the Xiliang army was brave and good at fighting, and it had not collapsed immediately at this time, and could still struggle with the coalition forces for a while.
However, this failure has indeed been fully revealed.
"I'm not dead! Don't be deceived! Cheer up!" Xu Rong shouted loudly on his horse, but with little effect.
On the other hand, Xu Rong himself was also worried. Although they were far apart and it was not clear to see each other from a distance, Xu Rong could roughly guess that the one who was killed was Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji's nephew.
Zhang Ji had no children and regarded him as his own. If Zhang Ji knew that Zhang Xiu was killed in his own army, he would definitely not let it go. Although it was a general from the coalition forces who killed Zhang Xiu,
But no matter how much Zhang Ji loves Zhang Xiu, can he really go to the other party's territory to kill people and take revenge? In the end, he has to transfer his anger to himself.
Although he is also a veteran in Dong Zhuo's army, in terms of status, he is still inferior to Zhang Ji. Although if Zhang Ji really wants to marry him, he may not be afraid of him. But if the two of them really get into trouble, I am afraid that they will end up in trouble.
It’s still a lose-lose outcome.
However, the current war situation was urgent and Xu Rong was not allowed to have other considerations. He could only try his best to rectify the military situation.
But under this situation, what Xu Rong did was mostly in vain.
At the beginning, most people could not hear his shouts. By the time the news spread among the Xiliang army that the coach was still alive, the morale and morale of the army had almost been lost. This time I tried to improve morale, but
It is as difficult as climbing to the sky. On the one hand, the coalition forces have gained a greater advantage, and it is difficult for the Xiliang Army to regain the situation on the battlefield. On the other hand, even if they know that the coach Xu Rong is not dead, what can they do? After all,
The one who was killed was not an ordinary pawn, he was also a general. Wouldn’t it hurt morale if the deputy general was killed?
Xu Rong could only grit his teeth and lead his guards to hold on.
Cao Cao has now almost given up on pursuing Dong Zhuo. The two armies have been strangled for two hours since the encounter. There is probably not much time before dawn, and Dong Zhuo must have already entered Chang'an City.
Cao Cao looked at the battle formation and sneered slightly. Wasn't this result already expected from the beginning? However, despite this, he would always be unwilling to pursue it. The saying that he will not cry until he sees the coffin describes himself like this.
People. Maybe Liu Bei and Sun Jian have the same idea as themselves.
"The building is about to collapse, who can help it?" Cao Cao stared into the distance and sighed softly.
Victory is imminent, and the Xiliang army has lost its momentum. Although it is still resisting stubbornly, it has absolutely no ability to reverse the defeat. At this time, Cao Cao no longer wanted to do such unrealistic things as Dong Zhuo's leadership. He only wanted to defeat the enemy army in front of him.
If he swallowed it completely, he would be satisfied. Of course, if he said he had no regrets, it would be a lie. Yuan Shao's refusal to help him had always been a thorn in his heart, even though the other party had done some stupid things before, such as suggesting that He Jin recruit Dong Zhuo to the capital.
Feng Han clan clan, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperor, etc., but Cao Cao always thought that it was just an occasional faint trick of Yuan Shao, and his talent was generally good. But after these few days of contact, Cao Cao was greatly disappointed.
Looking ahead and looking back, is the guy who worries about gains and losses really the same Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who used to drink with him, steal his bride, talk about the general situation of the world, and was awarded the title of the first of the eight schools in Xiyuan and is known as the "Elite of the World"?
If Yuan Shao was willing to send his troops westward, Dong Zhuo's head might have been severed by now.
Shaking his head helplessly, Cao Cao once again focused his attention on the battlefield.
As the defeat of the Xiliang Army became more and more serious, successive waves of troops were defeated by the coalition forces. The coalition forces, led by Xiahou Dun, were at the forefront. They had already broken through many obstacles and reached the enemy general Xu Rong.
After driving away several of Xu Rong's personal guards, Xiahou Dun pointed his spear directly at Xu Rong.
Xu Rong smiled bitterly. There was no room for escape, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward. In terms of his ability to lead troops, Xu Rong was indeed good. The defeat tonight was really due to too many changes, and he cannot be blamed.
Even if he were replaced by another general, this ending would not be changed. But when it comes to martial arts, Xu Rong can only be regarded as second-rate. After a short effort, Xu Rong was captured alive by Xiahou Dun.
A hint of fish belly white appeared in the east, and the war was over. With Xu Rong being captured, the Xiliang army of 30,000 people suffered a total loss of more than 20,000 people. Of the nearly 10,000 people left, nearly 5,000 were captured, and nearly 5,000 others were captured.
Five thousand people fled.
The coalition forces also suffered heavy losses here. The 20,000-strong army also paid a price of more than 12,000 casualties. Among them, Liu Bei's 4,000 men were almost disabled, leaving less than 500 people. Fortunately, the coalition forces
None of the generals on this side were injured.
The five thousand captives were divided among Liu Bei and two thousand. Cao Cao and Sun Jian each took one thousand five hundred. Considering that Liu Bei only had a few hundred men left and feared that he might not be able to hold them down if something happened to the prisoners, Sun and Cao then allocated five more to each.
Hundreds of people fought with them. After this battle of concerted efforts, the three of them also had a deep relationship with each other. Who could have imagined that the three of them would be the final contenders in this world in the future.
