After sending out a team to pursue, Dong Zhuo was still pacing back and forth in the camp, frowning and restless.
After that, every quarter of an hour, people were sent to find out the news, hoping that the generals could rescue their nephew Dong Huang.
But several groups of people were sent out in succession, but nothing happened, and no news came. Dong Zhuo's heart gradually sank, and his face became ugly. He suddenly walked out of the tent and shouted: "Come here, rectify the army and horses. The truth is that I want to pursue the bandits myself!" "
Hearing this, Li Jue, who was standing by, was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "You can't do it, Prime Minister! The weather is still unclear, and the Prime Minister has tens of thousands of people, so he can't venture into danger. Furthermore, the bandit army only has a few thousand people, and our army has tens of thousands of warriors." If we go to pursue him, we will definitely be able to rescue the young master, so the Prime Minister is relieved!"
After some hard persuasion, Li Jue finally stopped Dong Zhuo from pursuing him personally.
"well……"
Dong Zhuo sighed and looked towards the dark night sky.
Ah Huang, you must not let anything happen to you!
Just when Dong Zhuo was worried, soldiers suddenly came to report outside the camp.
"Prime Minister, the bandits are back again!"
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "What, you dare to come back!"
But then Dong Zhuo realized that this was a plan of the coalition forces to take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack.
All his own troops were sent out to rescue Dong Huang, and the enemy troops would naturally take the opportunity to kill him.
However, Dong Zhuo was not afraid and even became murderous.
"Zhiran, prepare the army for war!"
"As you command!"
Li Jue solemnly clasped his fists and then got on his horse.
When Sun Jian and Cao Cao led their troops to Dong Zhuo's camp, they happened to encounter the heavily armed Flying Bear Army.
When Dong Zhuo sent people to rescue Dong Huang before, although Dong Zhuo was eager, he did not lose his mind. The 10,000 flying bear troops led by Li Jue were still guarding him, and now they were just in time to defeat the invading enemy.
The war is about to break out!
After the fight, Sun Jian and Cao Cao suddenly felt the pressure.
It’s still the familiar recipe and the same taste.
But this time there was no car formation, and Sun Jian suddenly felt the pressure brought by the heavy armored cavalry.
It's the Flying Bear Army again, this is too difficult!
Sun Jian cursed in his heart, but was unable to do anything. In the end, he simply handed over the command to Cao Cao. He took the lead and led the soldiers to the front to boost morale, hoping to tear apart the enemy's defense array.
But these 10,000 flying bear troops were like an iron wall. No matter how Sun Jian charged at them, they would not be able to cause any harm at all, let alone be able to overwhelm the array.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao's troops together only numbered more than 15,000 men. Against the 10,000 flying bear troops guarding the camp, although they would not lose, they could never win.
As the fighting lasted longer, both sides fell into a stalemate.
…
The battlefield on the other side.
Xun You made a big fire and burned all the Xiliang troops in the bushes.
Under the raging flames, no one except the bald Zhang Xiu could escape.
The Xiliang army that had previously pursued Zhang Liao had less than 40,000 troops. After this fire, there were only more than 10,000 Xiliang troops left outside the bushes.
However, Guan Yu and Tai Shici's attack directly brought all of Liu Bei's troops, more than 13,000 men. Coupled with the surprise attack, the Xiliang army was immediately defeated.
Two thousand cavalry rushed into the enemy formation under the command of Tai Shici. The Xiliang army, which was frightened by the fire just now, barely organized a defensive array, but how could they resist it.
In just two charges, Taishi Ci tore two holes in the middle and divided the Xiliang army into two pieces.
One piece for Lu Bu and one piece for Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew.
Seeing that Taishi Ci successfully cut off the enemy army, Guan Yu's solemn face showed a hint of joy, and he immediately ordered an attack and launched an encirclement against one of the Xiliang troops.
And this wave of encirclement was led by Lu Bu.
It’s me again, why is it me again!
Lu Bu couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved in his heart, he raised his head and stared at the sky speechlessly.
During the first battle, he led his troops to inquire for information, but was surrounded and beaten by Zhang Liao and Cao Cao.
Later, when pursuing the coalition forces, he was besieged by Guan Yu and his army, and finally his way back was cut off by his own people.
Now...it has become the enemy's first target again.
Why!
Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew are nearby, and they have fewer troops than me. Why don't you go and besiege him?
It's a pity that it was late at night, the night sky was dark, and Lu Bu got no response at all, as if God rejected his private chat.
Taishi Ci saw that the encirclement was complete and that Lu Bu's troops had no chance of escaping. He immediately abandoned the enemy troops and charged directly into the center of the enemy army with his horses and guns drawn. Wherever he looked, he was where Lu Bu was.
Lu Fengxian, you and I will continue the unfinished battle!
However, this time Taishi Cixue was smart and did not use his most proud double halberds to fight the enemy. Instead, he specially selected a spear that was longer than Fang Tian's painted halberd as a weapon.
As the saying goes, an inch long, an inch strong! The duel between top players is a pure competition of strength and speed, a collision of endurance and will.
Apart from this, any fancy moves are not only useless, but will become a fatal flaw.
"Slave with the third surname, look at the gun!"
Taishi Ci shouted loudly, thrust out the spear in his hand, and only took out Lu Bu's neck.
This shot did not pose much threat to Lu Bu, but Taishi Ci's name really made Lu Bu a little nervous.
The title "Gangqing" has become your consensus, right?
Slandering me makes you happy, right?
Fang Tian swung his halberd and swung Tai Shici's spear away.
"It turns out that you are the defeated general!" Lu Bu looked at Tai Shici coldly, "Why, you are here to die again."
Whether it was his acquiescence or his helplessness, Lu Bu was smart enough not to argue with Tai Shi Ci on the title.
After all, his dark history is there, and facts speak louder than words.
Hearing this, Taishi Ci sneered and said, "You were the one who escaped last time, so how can you say that I am the defeated general?"
"It's useless to talk more. Let me show you the truth!"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Taishi Ci was also not good at words. He did not grab Lu Bu's black spots and spray violently like Zhang Fei, but directly proved his attitude with actions.
So, the two fought together again.
Facing an opponent like Lu Bu, Guan Yu was originally a little shy, but seeing that Tai Shici had taken the lead, his aloof character destined him to not bully the minority with more, so he had no choice but to command his army to surround and kill the enemy. At the same time, he also detached two thousand soldiers. The horses are outside, guarding Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu.
On the other side, Zhang Xiu saw that Lu Bu was surrounded. He quickly grabbed a spear and was about to come to the rescue, but was suddenly grabbed by Zhang Ji.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Zhang Xiu asked with confusion on his face.
Zhang Ji shook his head solemnly.
"Bo Yuan, don't act rashly!"
"What does uncle mean?"
Zhang Ji took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back to camp."
"What!" Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly widened, "But Lu Fengxian is being..."
It is true that the generals of the Xiliang Army didn't think highly of Lu Bu, but Zhang Xiu couldn't do such a thing.
"I know!" Zhang Ji suddenly raised his voice and looked at his nephew and said, "Since the pursuit, we have encountered fires and ambushes one after another. This is obviously a trick of the enemy. In this situation, even our uncle and nephew Going into battle together will probably not help. There are ambushes here to intercept, let alone the prime minister. The top priority now is to return to the army camp and protect the prime minister!"
Zhang Xiu just woke up from a dream and said loudly: "Yes, what my uncle said is true. Let's return to the camp quickly. If we are late, it will be in danger for the Prime Minister!"
"Let's go." Zhang Ji nodded heavily.
The uncle and nephew immediately got on their horses and led their troops away in full public view, but Guan Yu on the opposite side was stunned.
What does this mean?
In the face of a powerful enemy, they ignore friendly forces and flee for their own lives. Are all the Xiliang troops like this?
After all, protecting Dong Zhuo was just an excuse for Zhang Ji.
Dong Zhuo has 10,000 flying bear troops to defend him, so why do he need such a small number of troops to protect him?
What really made Zhang Ji make up his mind was that he felt the danger.
Today's continuous ambushes, fires and ambushes are very similar to the scene of flooding under Niu Fu's command.
The expert in the coalition forces took action again!
Move quickly, otherwise your life may be in danger.
Only by returning to Dong Zhuo, under the protection of ten thousand flying bear troops, could Zhang Ji feel a sense of security.
He said he was protecting Dong Zhuo, but actually this old clever guy wanted Dong Zhuo to protect him.
But when he left, Lu Bu, who was surrounded by the coalition forces, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He expressed on the spot that he wanted to have negative contact with Zhang Ji's eighteenth generation female ancestor.
There are only more than 10,000 people in the ambush, and our two troops combined have nearly 10,000 people. We may not lose in a head-on battle.
But you just left me and ran away...
What kind of teammates are these!
But he soon had no time to complain about Zhang Ji, because Taishi Ci's offensive became more and more fierce, forcing him to resist with all his strength.
On the other side, Guan Yu saw Zhang Ji retreating and had no intention of pursuing him. Instead, he relaxed slightly and commanded his soldiers to surround Lu Bu's remaining army.
It's just that... Guan Yu refused to bully the minority with more, but he couldn't stop someone from taking the initiative to die.
Lu Bu's generals Hou Cheng and Wei Xu saw that the siege was getting tighter and tighter, and they might not be able to escape if this continued. They also saw Guan Yu commanding his soldiers behind the army to surround and kill them, and they immediately hatched a plan.
"That man is the enemy's general. Let's rush up and kill him. The crisis can be solved!" Hou Cheng shouted at Wei Xu.
"This is a great thing to say!"
Wei Xu nodded immediately and agreed.
The two men immediately charged forward on horseback and quickly rushed towards Guan Yu under the banner.
Upon seeing this, the coalition soldiers quickly resisted with all their might.
But at this time, Guan Yu's rich voice came from behind.
"Let them come over."
Guan Yu stroked his beard, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
I thought that my Qinglong Yanyue Sword would be useless tonight, but I didn't expect that I would still have the chance to draw blood.
When the soldiers in front of him heard this, they immediately relaxed their resistance.
Hou and Cheng didn't know why, and thought that their bravery had frightened the enemy. They were overjoyed and rode their horses to continue towards Guan Yu.
When they rushed within three feet of Guan Yu, the two men stabbed him with their spears, shouting: "The thief will die!"
But from the beginning to the end, Guan Yu just looked at the two of them quietly, with no waves in his eyes.
It wasn't until the two men's weapons were about to hit Guan Yu's face that Guan Yu finally moved.
A clear blade of light flashed past, as if it was about to cut through the dark night sky.
The next moment, both of their weapons were cut off.
"this……"
The two of them were immediately horrified. They looked at the flat cut where the weapon broke. They knew that they had encountered a hard stubble, so they wanted to run away.
But it's too late.
Guan Yu has already drawn his sword, so there is no reason to give up halfway.
At this moment, Guan Yu's aura suddenly surged, and his whole body was like a ferocious beast from the wild. The cold murderous intent pierced Hou Cheng and the two men's bodies with chills, and their hearts trembled with fear.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword swung up again and struck Hou Cheng head-on. The blade cut through the air and made a series of sounds.
not good!
Hou Cheng was horrified and hurriedly raised his broken gun to stop him.
But the broken spear was cut off by Guan Yu again, and Hou Cheng's body was also cut off with it.
From the head down, Hou Cheng's whole body was cut in half by Guan Yu's sword, and both sides were neat and flawless.
This man is so fierce!
Wei Xu was shocked. He still had the courage to continue the attack. He hurriedly turned his horse's head and was about to escape.
"In front of Guan Mou, do you still want to escape intact?"
A cold voice sounded, and Guan Yu swung his sword again, cutting Wei Xu in half.
In less than three rounds, two of Lu Bu's generals were killed by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu put away the knife, still looking as usual, and slowly wiped the blood on the Qinglong Yanyue knife, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
…
The sky is getting brighter.
In front of Dong Zhuo's camp, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were still fighting bloody battles.
Wherever the ancient ingot sword goes, it is like ghosts and gods coming to the world. Every time the sword is swung, it can take away the life of at least one Flying Bear soldier.
Sun Jian was so brave, and his son Sun Ce was no less generous. Every shot could penetrate the enemy's throat.
But no matter how brave the father and son were, they still couldn't withstand the overall strength of the Flying Bear Army.
I don't know how much effort Li Ru spent on this ace army. Even the Jiangdong soldiers led by Sun Jian himself could not break through its defense.
Cao Cao watched anxiously from behind.
If the fight continued like this, all the soldiers under his command would be exhausted before the Flying Bear Army's defensive array could be broken through.
But there is no other way now.
"Brother, if we continue fighting like this, we will both suffer losses at the most. Let's retreat for the time being!" Cao Ren loudly advised.
He had led his army to charge for several rounds, and when he was exhausted, he had no choice but to retreat. By this time, he was already covered in blood.
"Retreat?" Cao Cao frowned, "No, the opportunity is rare, we must not retreat!"
A fire last night finally burned down Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army. This was the best time to kill Dong Zhuo. If he retreated, Dong Zhuo would definitely flee far away.
Once he is allowed to escape back to Chenggao, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
When he thought of Chenggao's thick city wall, Cao Cao felt a sense of despair in his heart.
Cao Ren said anxiously: "If we don't retreat...even if we kill all our troops, we won't be able to get in!"
"I don't care!" Cao Cao was upset when he heard this and shouted fiercely, "If all the soldiers are exhausted, I will personally go into battle. If I don't kill the Dong thief today, I swear I will never return it!"
Cao Ren stamped his foot fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll charge and kill again!"
After saying this, Cao Ren got on his horse again and rushed towards the enemy formation.
But just as the battle between the two sides was in full swing, Zhang Ji, who had retreated before, returned.
Seeing that there were enemy troops attacking in the camp, Zhang Ji quickly stopped Zhang Xiu, who was about to charge, and instead began to observe the current situation.
After a while, Zhang Ji was finally sure that the enemy army could not break through the Flying Bear Army's defense, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Bo Yuan obeys the order!"
Zhang Ji shouted loudly.
"exist!"
"You lead all the troops and horses into the enemy's formation, and attack with the Prime Minister from both front and back, and annihilate the enemy's army!"
"As you command!"
Zhang Xiu clasped his fists and said loudly, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
It was already daybreak, and along with Zhang Xiu's charge, the two sides in the battle also discovered this group of uninvited guests.
Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, his face turned ashen.
Why did he kill an enemy army at this time? He really is an immortal Dong thief!
Compared to Cao Cao's disappointment, Dong Zhuo was very happy.
"Quickly, send the order to Wencheng and ask him to attack from both front and rear. I want to annihilate this bandit army!"
Since the night attack, first there was chaos in the camp, and then his nephew Dong Huang was captured. Dong Zhuo felt extremely aggrieved.
I'm about to leave, but you thieves are still stalking me. It's really unreasonable!
Oh my God, when did the Flying Bear Army, the big daddy of the battlefield, ever fight a defensive battle?
On several occasions, Sun Jian had already reached within ten feet of Dong Zhuo.
After a long night of frustration, I can finally feel happy again.
Cao Ren rushed back to Cao Cao again, but he didn't have time to rest, so he quickly advised: "Brother, the enemy has begun to encircle you, retreat quickly!"
Cao Ren had already made a plan in his heart. If Cao Cao was still unwilling to retreat, he would have to force him to leave.
"Retreat..." Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand feebly, "Give me the order to retreat."
If you can't accomplish your work in one battle today, you won't know how much effort it will cost you at Chenggao City in the future.
I just lament that I have a small army and few generals, and I will never be able to eliminate thieves for the country.
The battlefield in front of him was filled with loud sounds of fighting, but it was hard to explain the sorrow and anger in Cao Cao's heart.
When the retreat horn sounded, Sun Jian, who was charging at the front line, was suddenly surprised. He quickly turned his head and saw why Cao Cao retreated.
"Father, what should we do?" Sun Ce came up and asked.
Sun Jian glanced at Dong Zhuo in the distance hatefully, shook his head and said: "The situation is over, let's break out first!"
"As you command!"
Sun Jian and his son immediately led their troops to charge back and join forces with Cao Cao. After another bloody battle, Zhang Ji finally tore through Zhang Ji's encirclement and led his army back to camp.
