Chapter 115 Killing two generals in a row
Hulao Pass is located in Chenggao County. It is said that King Mu of Zhou once kept the tigers offered by the princes here and was named Hulao. The Qin Dynasty set up a checkpoint here, so it was named Hulao Pass. In 598 AD, the Sui Dynasty changed Gao County to Sishui County, and after the Tang Dynasty, it was also called Sishui Pass. Hulao Pass was connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and rivers intertwined, which became a natural danger. There was a momentum for a man to pass through ten thousand men, which was a barrier to the east of Luoyang.
After Hua Xiong led his army to this place, he quickly stationed at Hulao Pass. Before coming, Hua Xiong had already issued an order to Dong Zhuo to guarantee that he would defeat the coalition forces of the princes.
Therefore, Hua Xiong would not give up until he reached his goal and was determined to win.
In Hulao Pass, the military camp station.
In the central army's tent, Hua Xiong sat cross-legged with his waist straight. His face was rough, and the beards under his jaw were like steel needles, giving people a feeling of vastness. His tiger body and wolf waist were as strong as a cow, and his sharp eyes gave people a kind of pressure.
There were three other people sitting in the camp.
The three of them are Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen, who all followed Hua Xiong to meet the enemy.
Hu Zhen was eager to make contributions and took the initiative to say, "Governor, all the princes united to resist the prime minister, which is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. I suggest sending troops immediately to attack the camp of the princes' coalition forces, attack with all their might, and defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop. We have a 50,000 army, and even if each person spits, we will have to drown the coalition forces of the princes."
Li Su hurriedly said, "No!"
Speaking of which, Li Su is also a person valued by Dong Zhuo. Li Su is outstanding in martial arts and has great strategy, and is a person with both civil and military skills. When Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, Lu Bu was still a chief clerk under the command of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou. Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to Ding Yuan's military camp to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, and then made great contributions to Dong Zhuo defeating Ding Yuan and stabilizing the situation in Luoyang.
This person has both courage and ability.
Hu Zhen felt that he had been swept away and asked, "Li Su, what are your plans? Tell me quickly!"
Li Su said: "You want to die alone, don't pull us."
"What? You say it again."
Hu Zhen was furious and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Hua Xiong helped Lian and couldn't help asking: "General Li, what's going on, let me tell you in detail."
Li Su nodded slightly and said, "In the art of military affairs, only by knowing oneself and his enemy can we win every battle. We have just arrived at Hulao Pass with 50,000 troops and have no idea about the affairs of the coalition forces of the princes. If we send troops now, it will be a blind man running around and unable to find a direction. Even if the troops fail, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. This is the first battle with the coalition forces. The prime minister is very concerned about it. He only wins but not loses. Once he fails, he will face the anger of the prime minister. Do you understand what I say? "
Hu Zhen snorted and turned his head away.
Zhao Cen smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hu, I agree with General Li's opinion. At present, it is still the main focus. There is no need to send troops in a hurry. We have taken the initiative and won in one fell swoop."
Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen were good friends. Seeing that Zhao Cen was persuaded, Hu Zhen stopped talking.
"Report!!"
A soldier walked in and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the governor, a coalition force came straight to Hulao Pass!"
Hua Xiong asked: "Specific situation?"
The soldier replied: "This army is an infantryman, with a population of about 6,000, and is the vanguard of the coalition."
"Six thousand people...haha, only six thousand people!"
Hu Zhen laughed loudly and said, "How can a mere six thousand people block our 50,000 army? Governor, Li Su just said that he knew himself and his enemy. Now we know the situation of the other party. Finally, we will bring our soldiers under our command to fight."
Without waiting for Hua Xiong to give the order, Hu Zhen left straight away.
Hua Xiong frowned and hummed in his heart.
Li Su sat down, didn't say anything, and didn't know what to think.
Hu Zhen excitedly led his troops away from Hulao Pass and headed to the army to meet Sun Jian. In less than half an hour, the two armies met. The two armies met on the battlefield. Hu Zhen held a weapon with excitement, but Sun Jian took the initiative and directly met an ancient ingot knife in his hand. Sun Jian's sword was powerful and powerful, and after facing Hu Zhen, there was almost no pressure.
After several rounds of battle, Sun Jian killed Hu Zhen like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Hu Zhen is dead, kill!"
Sun Jian used the ancient ingot knife to kill, and the four powerful generals under his command Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and Han Dang were even more excited, just like four fierce tigers rushing to kill. Even though Hu Zhen brought 10,000 Xiliang soldiers, he was killed and defeated. Faced with Sun Jian's strength, ten thousand Xiliang soldiers died and surrendered, without any resistance.
At the end of this battle, as many as 5,000 Xiliang soldiers were captured, and the rest were either killed or fled.
Sun Jian led his army to Hulao Pass, and the army camped for rest.
In the camp, after hearing the soldiers' reports, Sun Jian laughed loudly and waved his hand to order: "The captured soldiers are taken to the camp behind, Hu Zhen's head will be saved, and Hua Xiong will be given a big gift tomorrow."
"Abide by the order!"
The soldiers received the order, and then all the generals went down to rest.
"Report!"
While Sun Jian was resting, a soldier ran over and said, "Sir, Zhao Cen, the handsome general under Dong Zhuo, came to challenge him."
"court death!"
Sun Jian curled his lips and ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and gather the generals.
At a tea time, Sun Jian brought his six thousand soldiers to the camp gate. At this time, Zhao Cen was already angry. He did not expect that his friend Hu Zhen would be killed directly. As a friend, he could not sit idly by. Therefore, without reporting to Hua Xiong, Zhao Cen directly took his soldiers out of Hulao Pass to avenge Hu Zhen.
"General Zhao, the governor sent an order, please don't be reckless!"
A soldier came on a horse, but Zhao Cen snorted and said, "I will take Sun Jian and go to see Hua Xiong again."
Zhao Cen pointed at Sun Jian with a big knife and shouted, "Sun Jian, come out and die quickly!" Huang Gai was furious when he heard Zhao Cen's words, and rode his horse to meet him, shouting, "Incompetent rats, die!" Huang Gai had an iron whip in his hand, and there was a trace of dark purple in the black pattern, revealing a murderous aura.
Huang Gai rushed out with an iron whip, and the tiger's eyes widened, like a god of killing.
Zhao Cen went up and slashed out the steel knife.
The two weapons collided, and the winner was not decided. But Zhao Cen gradually felt exhausted. After less than ten rounds of fighting between the two sides, the iron whip in Huang Gai's hand was smashed down.
"Bang!!"
It was like hitting a watermelon, and Zhao Cen's head was hit by an iron whip.
In an instant, blood flowed, and Zhao Cen's body fell to the ground at this moment. Huang Gai grabbed Zhao Cen's body with an iron whip, pointed the opponent's army, shouting: "Kill!!"
The army attacked, and Zhao Cen's troops were defeated and retreated again.
Sun Jian led his army to chase and chase down the Hulao Pass. At this time, Hua Xiong led his army out and fought with Sun Jian, blocking Sun Jian's offensive and allowing his soldiers to retreat into Hulao Pass.
Hua Xiong is also a powerful general, and his soldiers are even more elite.
Once they fight Sun Jian, both sides will not be able to decide the outcome.
Considering that the soldiers under his command came from afar and were tired troops, which was not conducive to long-term battles, Sun Jian ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and retreated to the camp stationed outside Hulao Pass. Hua Xiong did not pursue him and retreated to the Hulao Pass. After Sun Jian returned to the camp, he asked the soldiers to go to the camp to report the news, saying that he would not take down Hulao Pass in the future, so please rest assured that the leader Han Fu, the leader.
