The army set out and left Hedong soon and entered Hongnong.

A few days later.

It is only thirty miles away from Jingzhao Luoyang, and only about sixty miles away from Hulao Pass.

early morning.

Suddenly, a cavalry rushed forward and headed straight for the central army.

Lu Bu, who was riding on the red rabbit, opened his eyes and was a scout in the army.

Suddenly, the scout rushed to Lu Bu, clasped his fists and said:

"Report to the lord, yesterday night, Hulao Pass was captured by the Guandong Alliance Army, and the Prime Minister Dong is retreating in the direction of Luoyang!"

"Um?"

Lu Bu looked over in surprise and asked:

"Hulao Pass is a natural danger, easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are more than 100,000 troops stationed in the city. How did the coalition forces break through it?"

"Report to the lord!"

The scout explained:

"The coalition forces besieged Hulaoguan for nearly two months, and the morale in the city was low. The coalition forces often shot letters in the city with arrows, spreading rumors and shaking the morale of the army!"

"The Kwantung Army dispatched everywhere again, intercepting many food and supplies from the rear of the Xiliang Army, further aggravating the panic of the Xiliang soldiers!"

"Last night, the Xiliang army mutiny, and the coalition forces took the opportunity to attack the city, and finally Hulao Pass was lost!"

"I see!"

Lu Bu nodded.

Too.

The military discipline of the Xiliang army has always been dispersed, and the Hu people are suspicious. The coalition forces spread rumors in the city, and there are facts to prove it. Over time, it will inevitably change.

But, it's too coincidental.

Just as I arrived at the city was broken.

Shaking his head, Lu Bu was speechless.

"Report!"

At this moment, the front army rushed over, but it was the scouts in the vanguard army.

"Master!"

The scout clasped his fists and reported:

"The envoy from Prime Minister Dong came to pay a visit!"

"Come on!"

Lu Bu quickly ordered.

After a moment.

"Why is Brother Li so embarrassed!"

Looking at the dirt-faced Li Su, Lu Bu suppressed his smile and asked with concern.

Although he had not received training, he still had a good control over his expression. At least, Li Su did not see the smile hidden in Lu Bu's eyes.

"Let you laugh!"

Li Su bowed and said awkwardly, then hurriedly said:

"Houhou, Hulao Pass was lost last night, and Prime Minister Dong was retreating to Luoyang. I also asked you to go to Luoyang and meet with Prime Minister Dong to resist the rebels in Kanto!"

"When will the prime minister withdraw from Hulao Pass? Where is it now? Can the Kanto Alliance forces pursue it?"

Lu Bu asked.

"Early morning!"

Li Su replied:

"Now it is retreating in Luoyang, and the rebels in Guandong are chasing each other reluctantly. If you don't arrive, the prime minister will be in danger!"

Lu Bu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then he asked Li Su about Dong Zhuo's retreat route, detailed terrain ahead, coalition movements and other specific details.

After a while, Lu Bu smiled and said:

"Brother Li, please go back and tell the Prime Minister. I will arrive on time, so I can retreat with confidence!"

"You are so righteous, I thank you for your behalf!"

Li Su bowed and said.

After the narration was over, Li Su immediately turned his horse's head and ran away in the direction he came.

After Li Su left, Lu Bu pondered for a moment, then ordered the army to go westward and towards Luoyang.

According to the original route, you need to travel sixty miles south to Hulao Pass.

But at this moment, Hulao Pass has been lost, so there is naturally no need to go.

Luoyang is located in the west, thirty miles away. It is just enough to arrive by the hour.

The Bingzhou army was full of cavalry, and it accelerated to rush forward, with a very fast speed. After half an hour, it arrived at its destination.

This location is just in front of Luoyang, about forty miles away from Hulao Pass.

When he arrived at the place in advance, Lu Bu immediately ordered his generals to send troops to form a formation and prepare for the momentum.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, countless horses and people shouted in front of them.

Nearly 100,000 defeated soldiers were fleeing in this direction.

Looking at his armor and flags, they were the Western Liang cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command.

At this moment, these Xiliang soldiers were obviously scared to death, without any military formation, and they all threw away their armor, their flags were crooked, and they rushed towards Luoyang.

Further down, hundreds of thousands of Kanto coalition forces were shaking and fighting and shouting loudly.

Perhaps knowing that there were friendly troops ahead, the defeated soldiers in Xiliang were not afraid when they saw the Bingzhou army, but instead rushed over as if they saw reinforcements.

Seeing this, Lu Bu's face darkened.

"How did Dong Zhuo lead the troops?"

"The defeated soldiers attacked friendly forces, how could he do it?"

In fact, Dong Zhuo cannot be blamed for this matter.

As a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, how could Dong Zhuo not know that the defeated troops attacking reinforcements is a taboo in military strategists?

But there is no way. The Western Liang army is famous for its military discipline and is not easy to restrain even in normal times.

What's more, there are new defeats at this moment, and there are still pursuers behind?

All the soldiers were frightened and had no control. Seeing the reinforcements, they naturally rushed over immediately.

Dong Zhuo had no choice in this situation.

"Send the order!"

Lu Bu's eyes were cold and he ordered:

"Thousands of people came forward and shouted, and ordered the defeated soldiers in front to disperse left and right, and did not rush to the central army. Violators would be killed immediately!"

The Bingzhou Army was disciplined and communicated quickly from top to bottom, and acted quickly. An officer immediately brought more than a thousand cavalry to shout.

"Listen to the people in front, they are dispersed left and right, and they are not allowed to rush into the central army. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

Thousands of people shouted together, and the sound was heard from afar, and everyone could hear nearly 100,000 Xiliang soldiers in front of him.

But it's useless!

The Xiliang army has always been free and scattered, and it is difficult to restrain itself. What's more, now that the pursuit of troops is behind, his life is in danger, and he is in danger?

Therefore, despite the Bingzhou army coming forward and shouting loudly to remind the enemy, the defeated soldiers of Xiliang who were fleeing in a panic turned a deaf ear and rushed towards the Bingzhou army.

‘Swish swish swish’

The defeated troops in Xiliang rushed over without caring about it, so the Bingzhou army was naturally not polite, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once.

Everyone in Bingzhou was good at shooting. As the arrow rained down, the defeated soldiers of Xiliang who were rushing to fall down like harvesting wheat.

People shouted and horses were neighing!

Screaming and scolding!

But a rain of arrows cannot restore these Xiliang defeated soldiers to calm down, and most of the defeated soldiers still rushed towards them by inertia.

It doesn’t matter, every Bingzhou cavalry has hundreds of arrows on them, so they are not afraid of waste.

‘Swish swish swish’
