Polu General Sun Jian looked at Prime Minister Dong Zhuo at the foot of the mountain. Prime Minister Dong Zhuo was naturally always paying attention to the movements of the battlefield. He looked down from the rocks and saw the faint Polu flag in the dim dusk. /p
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he knew that this was a life-or-death moment. /p
Dong Zhuo first wanted to retreat, but was extremely unwilling to do so. Because he is the heart of the army, if he retreats, the fighting tribesmen will definitely be defeated thousands of miles away when they see his command disappear. Not to mention that Guangcheng Pass cannot be defended. With the people's hearts shaken, it will be difficult to hold on to Hangu Pass. /p
What should I do if I retreat first and place my subordinates here? Dong Zhuo quickly put this idea behind him. On the battlefield, Hui Gai was him, but he was not him. If Hui Gai fell, the impact would be even greater than his death in battle. /p
He has never been a commander who doesn't care about life and death, but he cannot accept the destruction of several years of hard work and planning. While he was closing his eyes and thinking, Liu Ai, who was accompanying the army, whispered to him: "There is no need to be like this, Prime Minister. Although we have a small number of soldiers, we still occupy a high position. How can Sun Jian attack easily? What's more, as a general, he personally committed a crime It's dangerous, as long as we kill him, we will definitely turn defeat into victory!"/p
These words made him feel more at ease, so he propped himself up with a bamboo stick and lit the first bonfire in the mountain himself. In front of a group of soldiers, Dong Xiangguo's face was as pale as water, and he said in a calm tone: "They are just moths seeking death. They just show my martial power, Dong Zhongying."/p
The defenders on the mountain were mainly infantry, mostly athletes selected from the Yulin Army. Although they were world-famous Yulin athletes, this was the first time they had seen such a cruel battle, and they were all frightened and frightened. But this time When they heard the Prime Minister's words, they all turned around and saw that although his body looked old and bloated, his face was still as resolute as iron. As if they heard the blue wind whistling on the mountain, their heartstrings calmed down. /p
Sun Jian saw a bonfire lighting up the mountain, and the fireworks dazzled the fluttering flags under his awning. He laughed cheerfully and said: "It's really rare! Is Dong Zhongying, who is bound to lose in battle, also fighting for his life?" He turned to his subordinates and said : "I will fight to the death in person. If there are enemy troops blocking me on both sides, help me stop them."/p
After he finished speaking, he drove his horse up the hillside, following the shadows of the mountain walls and trees, walking through the Yulin army like a ghost. The Yulin army originally wanted to shoot from a high position, but it was difficult to aim their bows and arrows in such a dark sky. They could only see Sun Jian passing by like a whirlwind. If they got close, Sun Jian chopped off his head with a knife, and beheaded and dismembered the six of them. /p
The Yulin army had no choice but to turn around and block the cavalry that followed. Army commander Ma Chengpu carried the banner of Polu's flag and led the knights in his formation to chase forward. He was always three to four feet away from Sun Jian. The infantry at the foot of the mountain were confused by Sun Jian and lost the best time to block the attack. , Cheng Pu and others were soon killed in front of him, and he was stabbed to death by the long sword on the side of the horse. /p
But when they went up the mountain road, the Yulin army on the mountain pushed rolling stones down the mountain wall. The mountain road was narrow, and Sun Jian in front still had room to maneuver, but the Jingqi who followed were crowded and could only force themselves. He rushed forward, and the rolling stone hit the armored head and body. Although there was no blood on the body, the rolling stone broke the human bones in one blow, which was more powerful than swords and guns. The men and horses who were hit by the rolling stone shook as if they were drunk. He staggered, lost his footing and fell down the hillside, which was a pleasant surprise. /p…
Sun Jian held the reins of his horse and helped his subordinate Ye Maoju avoid the rolling rocks while surveying the terrain on the mountain. Originally, he was quite happy to kill Dong Zhuo, but now he heard the screams behind him, and he thought of the feud with Dong Zhuo for several years, and he felt a little angry, so that he tightened his muscles and moved back and forth between his teeth. He hesitated, and finally murmured: "Life is just as short as the morning dew. How many people can ride alone into danger like me today and face national calamity?"/p
He found a protruding rock and hid under it. He took off his reflective armor and took out two pieces of black silk from his armor. One covered the head and face, and the other plugged the horse's ears. He pulled out the four-foot-two piece of black silk. The inch-long long-handled knife was attached to the saddle. When the rolling rocks above calmed down, he held the rein with one hand and sprinted for the final distance. /p
The Yemao horse rushed forward, and in an instant he reached the last gentle slope. Sun Jian shook the reins, and it immediately leaped out. At that moment, it was like a black dragon flying in the air. The Yulin sergeants holding spears rushed up to fight. Sun Jian was two steps behind. He took one step, then took two steps to the right, and successfully cut a gap with his knife, seemingly rushing into Dong Zhuo's main formation without any hindrance. /p
Yu Lin's army was frustrated for a moment and wanted to block it again, but before it was too late, Sun Jian's men had already rushed in front of Dong Zhuo. /p
At a glance, he saw Dong Zhuo's old and broad body, which was covered with special leather armor. He must have outgrown the iron armor. Dong Zhuo didn't have a bag with him. Under the firelight, his face was no longer hard, but pale. Fat old face. /p
Sun Jian angrily shouted: "Thief Dong! Die!"/p
He swung the sword downward with such force that Dong Zhuo didn't even have time to stand up, let alone draw the sword. He then sat on the horse and used his bamboo stick to resist. Sun Jian's sharp blade cut the bamboo stick into two pieces. /p
"Kill!"/p
Sun Jian slashed again, Dong Zhuo blocked again, Sun Jian split the bamboo staff directly along the bamboo strips, he slashed again, Dong Zhuo leaned back and dodged, and the blade struck the leather armor on Dong Zhuo's shoulder, cutting a long gash, and there was blood. came out. But Sun Jian knew by the feel of his hand that he had only cut his skin. /p
The Yulin army arrived at this time, and one man shot an arrow at Sun Jian, but Sun Jian nimbly dodged it. Not only did he miss the shot, but he hit the horse under Dong Zhuo's seat. So the remaining soldiers did not dare to shoot and formed a group to shoot at him. Sun Jian thrust forward, but Sun Jian could only ride his horse and run away from Dong Zhuo, but at this time, the Jing cavalry behind him also chased up the mountain, seeing that Dong Zhuo had no physical strength. /p
However, strange peaks protruded. Liang Ren pointed to the plain to the north of the mountain and said, "Look, reinforcements are coming!"/p
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the north. The moon has not yet risen, and the stars have not twinkled. It is the darkest time in the sky, but a fire dragon composed of torches in the north is clearly visible. They are rushing here quickly, and a large flag with red characters on a black background is clearly visible. Swinging back and forth in the light of the torch, they were obviously Zhang Ji and Zhang Liao's cavalry. /p
Under the bright fire of this cavalry, it was impossible to see the number of people coming for reinforcements. The Jing people who broke the formation were at a loss, and the line suddenly became somewhat chaotic. At this time, the Jing people's front was stretched too long. If not handled properly, it would soon lead to a rout. /p
Dong Zhuo had a panoramic view of this situation on the top of the mountain. He finally laughed confidently, covered his injured shoulder, and said frankly to Sun Jian not far away: "Sun Wentai, are you going to die with me, or are you going to leave this alone?" Withdraw your troops? Now that the three armies are exhausted, if you withdraw your troops, I will not force you to pursue you."/p…
Sun Jian glanced at him and said nothing. He immediately rode his horse and flew into his entourage. He ordered Cheng Pu and others who were carrying the flag: "Follow me down the mountain to organize the army." The knights went up the mountain quickly and came down even faster. Showers go like a gust of wind. Liu Ai stepped forward to help Dong Zhuo up and asked him: "This is a great opportunity to defeat the bandit army. Do you really not want to pursue it?"/p
Seeing Sun Jian leaving, Dong Zhuo finally let go of his reserve. His face was distorted by pain, and his whole person seemed a bit older. While arranging for people to tie the wounds, he explained to Liu Ai: "Zhang Ji and the others came and went in one day." After nearly two hundred miles, where can we still fight? They lit up the fire on the road, just to intimidate Sun Jian to retreat."/p
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh: "It's really dangerous! Sun Wentai is the commander-in-chief of an army, and he has such insight into the use of troops. I think he is no less inferior to Huangfu Yizhen."/p
Riding on a galloping horse, Sun Jian was so angry that he clenched the handle of the knife with his fingers and pinched blood from it. His personal followers were also outraged by this situation and asked the commander why he didn't kill Dong Zhuo first. /p
"Those infantrymen stopped in front of him. It would take at least two quarters of an hour to kill Dong Thief and then go down the mountain. In these two moments, if I didn't go down the mountain and retreat, the battle line would have been stretched so long and the fighting would have been so long. , the soldiers had long been exhausted. As soon as they saw the Liang reinforcements coming, the whole army collapsed in front of them. Even if I killed Dong Zhuo, I would lose this battle completely."/p
As he said this, he called for his soldiers to gather together and retreat slowly, but what he was thinking about was the feeling of the blade entering his body at that moment. What a pity! Sun Jian felt so secretly resentful, why couldn't I go a few inches deeper? But it was useless to think about it at this time. He put aside his distracting thoughts, led the formation to the rear, and asked the soldiers to retreat in the formation. The sound of gold ringing also came from Kongtong Mountain at the right time. /p
This is the end of the war. /p
The distant Liang reinforcements were indeed stationed outside the battlefield. On the battlefield, various commanders were calling to their surviving soldiers, and more people fell into a pool of blood. At this time, the moon rose from the mountains and cast a layer of clear light on the bloody battlefield. Everyone took off their armor and threw it on the muddy ground, turning among the corpses for the living who were still breathing. /p
Many Liang and Jing people were mixed in among them. They all wore military uniforms soaked in sweat and walked through the crowd to return to the team. Many looked at each other and recognized that the other was not one of their own, but for the tired and thirsty soldiers, no one was willing to fight anymore. /p
In the end, both armies drank from the Ru River. The water was sparkling. The crowds on the shore were crowded shoulder to shoulder and feet to feet, drinking the river water as if they had seen gold. Taigu Captain Hua Xiong saw a man trying to get into the water to cool off, so he pushed him aside and muttered: "Don't do that, let me drink enough first." Then Hua Xiong felt hot and uncomfortable all over his body, and he leaned close to the water, like Putting its head into the water like a cow drinking. For some unknown reason, Hua Xiong suddenly relaxed his strength and spat out a series of bubbles in the water. As if his whole body was being pushed by someone, he naturally slid into the water and quickly disappeared. /p
How sad! Seeing this, the Liang people did not dare to drink anymore. Instead, they sighed and said: Hua Xiong is an iron-like man. He once followed the Prime Minister and killed more than thirty people in a row. Today, he also fought bravely and killed more than twenty rebels. The thief was so lost in a foreign land. They tried to pick up Hua Xiong's body, but no one had the strength and were afraid of drowning in the water, so they had no choice but to give up. /p
Another dozen people died like this in Rushui, announcing the end of the Guangcheng War. /p
In normal battles, as long as the military formation is damaged by more than 20%, the military formation will lose its fighting spirit. But today in the battle of Guangcheng, the Liang people suffered casualties of more than 17,000 people, and the Jing people suffered casualties of nearly 20,000 people. The battle losses reached about 40%. The survivors who participated in the war felt incredible when they thought about it. /p
On the night of July 25th, after hearing that Sun Jian had led his remaining troops to retreat to Liang County, Dong Zhuo finally led his remaining troops to retreat to Yique. He withdrew all the defenders at Guangcheng and Taigu Pass because of the heavy loss of troops. Return to Luoyang to rest. /p
"Ji Han Zhangwu"/p.
