Chapter 59 The battle of women
After the Sishui was closed, Hua Xiong got up after a good sleep and felt that his strength had basically been restored.
Thinking of yesterday's battle, even with his toughness, he couldn't help but tremble, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "I didn't expect that the infantry with the banner of 'Yuan' would be so strong, and could withstand the impact of our Xiliang cavalry head on.
, this is something that has never happened before!”
After a pause, he muttered again: "It seems that only the Grand Master's Flying Bear Army can defeat them in one fell swoop!"
He shook his head and temporarily put these thoughts behind him. He stood up, put on his clothes and armor, and walked to the hall in front of him.
Li Su and others were standing in the hall chatting. When they saw Hua Xiong coming in, they immediately stopped chatting and saluted him with clasped fists.
Hua Xiong walked to the main seat and sat down. He glanced at everyone present, his eyes fell on Li Su, and asked: "How many troops did our army lose in yesterday's battle?"
Li Su frowned, cupped his fists and said: "Our army suffered a lot in yesterday's battle, especially our cavalry. They failed to break through the enemy's infantry head-on, and instead suffered nearly 2,000 casualties!..."
Hua Xiong was surprised and shouted: "So many?!" Li Su nodded and said: "It's just a lot more! Including those who were later intercepted by Jiangdong Army, our army's cavalry lost more than 3,000 people yesterday!"
Then he cupped his fists and said, "Xi Zuo has found out clearly that the infantry that resisted our Xiliang cavalry yesterday came from Yuan Shao's side and was called the Yingyang Army. The leader was Yuan Shao's fourth son, Yuan Mai!"
Hua Xiong's eyes widened, showing infinite murderous intent, and he said fiercely: "Yuan Mai! Ying Yangjun!"
Li Su said with a serious expression: "In addition, according to the detailed investigation, the number of Yingyang Army's casualties in yesterday's battle seems to be only a few dozen, and only more than 300 people were injured!..."
Hua Xiong's heart skipped a beat and he shouted: "This is impossible!..." However, even so, thinking of the scene on the battlefield yesterday, he felt that this situation was possible, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
Since their debut, the Xiliang cavalry can be said to be undefeated elite cavalry. In the face of their offensive that swept like a strong wind, almost all opponents could only end up with a huge defeat and a rout of thousands of miles!
But in yesterday's battle, the Xiliang warriors were not only suppressed, but the proportion of casualties on both sides was so high, how could Hua Xiong accept this!
Li Su glanced at Hua Xiong and said: "Now that the enemy has established a foothold at the pass, if we attack rashly again with little loss of troops and generals, we are afraid that the enemy will take advantage of us and break through the Sishui Pass. The consequences will be disastrous."
!”
Then he clasped his fists and said: "I believe that the main forces of the princes will arrive soon. I am afraid that our army will not be able to defend Sishui Pass. It is better to ask the Grand Master for help immediately!"
Hua Xiong frowned and thought to himself: How many days have passed since I issued a military order to the Grand Master? I actually asked the Grand Master for help! Even if the Grand Master does not blame him, others will laugh at him! How can I, a noble man like Hua Xiong, be criticized?
People laugh at you?
As soon as he thought of this, Hua Xiong said to Li Su seriously: "Don't let other people's ambition destroy our majesty! The princes of Guandong are just a bunch of rabble, so what are you afraid of!
This Sishui Pass is one of the most powerful passes in the world and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If our army defends Sishui Pass tightly, we will surely cause the enemy to suffer a bloody blow!"
Outside the city, the Allied Forces stronghold.
Zhang Lang saw that the fight between the two women became more and more intense, and at the end of the battle, a murderous aura emerged. He couldn't help but frown, and immediately jumped into the battlefield to stand between the two!
The two women were wielding their spears to attack their opponents with all their strength. When they suddenly saw Zhang Lang appear, they were startled and hurriedly stopped their shots. However, the tips of the two spears almost touched Zhang Lang!
Just a little bit away, Zhang Lang might be poked out with two holes!
Zhang Lang couldn't help but sweatdropped, and then he became very angry and shouted angrily: "You two, what are you doing so early in the morning! Are you telling people to go to bed?"
Seeing that they almost hurt Zhang Lang, the two women were panicking. At this moment, they were scolded by Zhang Lang. They felt extremely uneasy and lowered their heads subconsciously!
At this time, the Wu officers and soldiers in the distance looked at this side with strange expressions.
Zhang Lang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself: I didn't expect that I almost lost my life here!
When Yan thought about this, he couldn't help but feel furious. He raised his head and prepared to continue teaching these two over-energetic girls.
However, when he saw both of them looking scared and worried, like good babies who were upset because they had done something wrong, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared!
Zhang Lang couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly and said: What evil did I do in my previous life? How come in this life, no matter in modern times or in ancient times, I am always beaten to death by women?
I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
He looked at the girl who looked familiar but didn't recognize him, and asked uncertainly: "Are you Miss Sun Ren?"
Sun Ren glanced at Zhang Lang and nodded,
Then he cupped his fists towards Zhang Lang and said, "I haven't thanked you properly for saving my life before, so I'm here to express my gratitude today! Who would have thought that I would meet such an unreasonable woman!..." As he said that, he couldn't help but stare angrily.
Zhang Yeyu took a look.
Zhang Yeyu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said tit for tat: "I asked you to tell me your name, but you refused to tell me, how do I know if you are here to harm the young master?"
Sun Ren snorted: "I'm here to see your master! As a subordinate of the master, you don't understand your identity, but you come to make decisions for the master. You have no idea!"
Zhang Yeyu's face turned red, his anger surged into the sky, and he shouted: "Do you still want to fight?"
Sun Ren sneered, held his head high and said proudly: "If you hit me, hit me! Whoever is afraid of whom!"
Zhang Lang saw that the two of them had calmed down before they had even had time to have a cup of tea, and then they became tense again. He felt a headache and shouted angrily: "That's enough! Shut up!"
The two women were frightened and stopped arguing. However, they both stared at each other with a posture of refusing to give in to each other, just like two female leopards facing each other tit for tat.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Lang felt an evil fire rising in his heart. He wanted to give these two hot-tempered women a good beating to see if they would dare to make trouble again.
At this time, Sun Ce came over, glanced at his own girl, and then at another girl who was facing him tit for tat, and recognized that the girl was named Zhang Yeyu, and she was Zhang Lang's subordinate.
He walked straight to Zhang Lang, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Yuan, my father asked me to invite Brother Yuan to come over to discuss matters!"
Zhang Lang suddenly felt that he had to get out of trouble, and turned to the two women: "You two, don't fight, I don't care about the rest!" After saying that, he didn't care whether they agreed or not, and left with Sun Ce.
.
Sun Ce looked back at the little girl who was staring at Zhang Yeyu, with a surprised look in his eyes. Although he knew that the little girl was very strong, he had never seen her behave like this with others.
Zhang Lang followed Sun Ce to the large tent of Jiangdong Army. When he saw Sun Jian, he cupped his fists and said, "Uncle!"
Sun Jian walked down with a smile and said: "My nephew is here?" After a pause, he said: "I called my nephew here today because I want to discuss with my nephew how to capture Sishui Pass!..."
