Everyone knew what it meant for the other party to send 300,000 troops at once. This was almost the entire army under Dong Zhuo's command.
Such a huge army must be led by a corresponding general. Among Dong Zhuo's armies, there were only two generals who could command an army of 300,000 people. One was Li Jue and the other was Guo Si.
Guo Ai, the servant, commented: Jian's military use was inferior to that of Li Jue and Guo Si.
In addition to the 250,000 troops of the Xiliang Army who were waiting in full formation, there were also 50,000 troops led by Li Jue to defeat the tens of thousands of enemy troops in Luoyang Military Town. This army was the elite of the world-renowned Dong Zhuo—— Flying Bear Army.
300,000 Xiliang troops, including 50,000 Feixiong troops, plus two generals, Li Jue and Guo Si.
When the Central Military Command of the Allied Forces received the news, everyone woke up from the arrogance of having just captured Sishui Pass.
It turned out that Sishui Pass, which killed 70,000 coalition troops, was just an appetizer, and the real big deal was yet to come.
With 500,000 to 300,000, it seems that the coalition should be very confident, but the reality is not like this.
It's not like there was a lot of wailing, but the handsome stage did become silent. Everyone was frightened by Dong Zhuo's all-death formation.
The 300,000 Xiliang Army who worked together to fight against the 500,000 miscellaneous coalition forces with their own evil intentions seemed to understand the final outcome of this war.
Huge pressure often leads to two completely opposite trends.
Either everyone unites closely to deal with foreign enemies, or the already fragile alliance becomes even more precarious.
Obviously, the situation of the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces is destined to develop towards the latter.
Just like Wang Jianguo's judgment in front of Dong Zhuo, the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces soon had internal differences.
The focus of the problem is first of all the transportation of grain and grass and the pension of soldiers who died in battle.
These things that were originally responsible for Yuan Shu in history have now been transferred to Yuan Yi.
But he obviously discussed this matter with Yuan Shao before, and the method he used was simple, which was to delay.
If he could be sure of the final outcome of this war, Yuan Shao would not mind asking Yuan Yi to deliver food and grass quickly. However, at this moment when people are tempted and the coalition forces may fall apart at any time, no one is willing to take their own things. Fill in others.
From the moment they focused on defeating Dong Zhuo to now, the mentality of the princes has changed greatly. Probably everyone has three things on their minds. First, they must protect the effective strength of their own men, and then on this basis, let others kill Dong Zhuo's 300,000 yuan. The military strength of the army, as for the allies, help them if they can. The so-called dead Taoist friends are not dead, as long as they don't implicate themselves.
Many people have even begun to think about retreating, believing that the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces' attack on Dong had failed in a practical sense.
As a result, the sky above the Chinese Military Commander's Platform seemed to be completely shrouded in shadow.
"There is no supply of food and grass, and the pensions for the dead soldiers cannot be paid. I want to ask Alliance Leader Yuan, how do you want me to fight this battle!?" Sun Jian's voice roared on the commander's platform.
However, Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi and others above just looked downcast and did not answer.
"Sorry, I, the vanguard general, can't do it anymore. Please ask someone else to do it!" Sun Jian cupped his fists and cupped his hands, the armor on his body clattering.
"Brother Wentai, please be patient." Yuan Shao's voice finally rang out, "The most important thing now is how to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si's 300,000 Xiliang troops. As long as we can negotiate a response to the enemy, A foolproof strategy, I believe all problems can be solved easily.”
"That's nice to say! My lord is fighting hard in the front, but you people are scheming in the back, thinking about how to preserve your own strength. How are you going to fight this battle!?" Huang Gai yelled.
"Huh?" Yuan Shao glared at Huang Gai, showing his dignity.
"Currently, our unit is short of major generals, which is no longer enough to face such a large number of enemy troops. Leader Yuan, you must give me an answer, otherwise our unit will refuse to continue fighting with the opponent." Sun Jian said solemnly.
"Tell me, do you have any suggestions?" Yuan Shao looked around.
Gongsun Zan was discussing something with Guan Yu in a low voice, Zhao Yun was studying the tip of his spear, and Liu Bei was counting the ants on the ground.
The combined number of soldiers under these three men exceeded one-third of the total number of coalition forces, but they were obviously not prepared to express any opinions on this matter.
As for the others, they are divided into two parts. One part is a relatively neutral party headed by Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. The other part is Yuan Shao's loyal supporters, only Yuan Shao follows his lead.
The relatively neutral party suggested that the three armies should work together and still follow the previously established strategy, allocating soldiers to Sun Jian in proportion, allowing him to continue to lead the army to charge into the battle as a former general. At the same time, soldiers from all walks of life would be closely connected and cooperate properly to attack Luoyang according to the established strategy. In various military towns outside the city, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, with a total of less than 100,000 soldiers, must keep a close eye on the Flying Bear Army under Li Jue.
The only thing is that for the serious blow suffered by Sun Jian's unit, incomparable compensation and pensions must be provided by the other units of the coalition.
On the other hand, regarding the slow transportation of grain and grass, the neutral party also cautiously stated that the supply of grain and grass must be sufficient. Otherwise, it will not only affect the war situation of the vanguard army, but also cause the morale of the entire coalition army to be low.
However, Yuan Shao did not issue this military order in the end. He just asked everyone to go back to the camp and set up camp. After he thought about it again and came up with a perfect plan, he set the time in two days. Once the two days were up, He will give you a satisfactory answer.
Two days is not a long time, not to mention in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, even in the time dimension of the coalition forces' attack on Luoyang, it is just a fleeting moment.
However, many unexpected things happened in the past two days. No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this.
That night, Li Jue led the Feixiong Army to sneak attack on the camp of Sun Jian's vanguard army. The vanguard army failed to respond and suffered heavy losses.
In this battle, four veteran generals under Sun Jian, Zu Mao Cheng Pu, were killed, and Huang Gai was seriously injured. Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Tang Yi led the army to break through, but they were all slightly injured. There were only a few soldiers left in the entire vanguard army. Thousands of people.
Li Jue continued to lead his army to pursue the enemy, but was attacked by the coalition forces that had long been hidden in the woods. The entire 50,000-strong Flying Bear Army was actually wiped out!
Because what they faced was a joint attack from Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and Zhao Yun, with a combined total of nearly 200,000 soldiers!
The shouts of killing continued until dawn, and finally the Fei Xiong Army was completely annihilated with the loss of nearly 100,000 soldiers.
Li Jue was defeated by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together. Under the attack of these two men, he had no chance at all and died completely.
In the early morning of that day, another unexpected thing happened. General Tang Yi led the remaining 1,500 sergeants under his command to rebel!
It is wrong to say the opposite, because Tang Yi did not rebel against the coalition forces, but only took these soldiers to join Zhao Yun's first command.
But this incident undoubtedly made things worse for Sun Jian.
As we all know, Tang Yi's First Division has been on the right side of the Pioneer Army and is closest to Zhao Yun's First Division. It was Sun Jian who doubted and reminded her.
Tang Yi did not disappoint Sun Jian, he rebelled openly and openly!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the fact that there are only a few thousand sergeants left does not mean that the coalition will continue to assist Sun Jian, a former general, but it means that Sun Jian has completely lost his qualifications to form an alliance.
So Sun Jian set out on his way back to Changsha County before anyone could react. When the coalition commander reacted at noon the next day, Sun Jian and Han Dang had already brought Sun Ce and the seriously injured Huang Gai with them. Returned to the territory of Jingzhou.
Let’s not mention Sun Jian’s return to Changsha, because there are more important things on the front line outside Luoyang.
While the 50,000 Fei Xiong Army pursued Sun Jian, Guo Si led the remaining 250,000 Xiliang Army to respond and slowly pressed toward the coalition forces.
No one could have imagined that the Xiliang Army would be so arrogant and plan to fight to the death with the coalition forces that night!
When Sun Jian led the rest of his troops to escape, the one in front was Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and behind Han Fu were the soldiers of Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, and Zhang Chao.
The Flying Bear Army was put into flour sacks by Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, and Gongsun Zan to make dumplings, but Han Fu and the other four princes were not prepared for this. At first contact, the two sides fell into a deadly battle.
In the midst of the melee, Qi Zhen, who had beheaded Hua Xiong without drinking in front of Sishui Pass, led the 10,000 soldiers Han Fu had given him, and disappeared into the night inexplicably.
Among the 250,000 soldiers, in addition to the 150,000 Chinese Army and the Allied Army, which had the most concentrated collision, another 100,000 Xiliang Army was divided into two groups, the left and right, and penetrated directly into the rear of Yuan Shao's army.
That's Sishui Pass guarded by Yuan Shao's only 50,000 soldiers!
However, what they didn't expect was that they didn't encounter any resistance on the way, and passed through the open space on both wings safely and safely, and arrived in front of Sishui Pass.
Perhaps they could not have imagined that the soldiers originally guarding the two wings were now encircling and suppressing the Fei Xiong Army.
After daybreak, the 100,000 Xiliang troops surrounded them from both sides and began to fight against the army led by the four princes in the center.
The cry of killing resounded throughout Sishui Pass!
When Yuan Shao received the news at Shuai Tai, Liu Dai and Zhang Chao were already dead, and Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and others were struggling to support themselves.
"Order Kong Niao and General Wang Kuang to provide immediate support!" Yuan Shao ordered.
"Here!"
"It's all chaos! How did the enemy get here? Can any of you tell me?"
Yuan Shao slammed the table and roared angrily.
"Where is Gongsun Zan! Where is Zhao Yun! Then where is Liu Bei?!" Yuan Shao's roar echoed throughout the Central Military Command Tower.
"Report! Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan have reported that they have annihilated the enemy's elite Flying Bear Army and are now fighting with the enemy in front of them!"
