Dark night enveloped the earth. Gao Fei led his troops and horses to follow Lu Bu closely, keeping a distance of twenty miles. He also constantly sent scouts to the front to inquire about news, and the places he passed along the way became more and more numerous.
The stronger the smell of blood became, the more serious Bingzhou soldiers who were dying could be picked out among the dead.
Gao Fei left the military doctors with the army to take care of the wounded, and sent a hundred soldiers to escort them, asking them to follow slowly and carry the wounded to Luoyang.
After a continuous day of stop and go, the soldiers got enough rest. At this time, everyone was mentally prepared for the battle, because judging from the battlefields they passed, the battle ahead had become particularly fierce.
, the corpses of Bingzhou soldiers can also be seen everywhere.
Gao Fei was sitting in the woods beside the official road, resting with his back against a big tree. He looked up at the cold moon hanging in the sky. The breeze blew by, and he felt a bit of coolness, and the leaves began to
It turned dark yellow and even fell off naturally.
"It's already mid-August. We must end these things as soon as possible and return to Youzhou. The longer I stay outside, the less worried I am about Youzhou." Gao Fei seemed to be talking to himself or to someone.
What.
After hearing this, Jia Xu walked over and said to Gao Fei: "Lord, one month, one month after another, we will definitely be able to return to Youzhou. Now we have walked hundreds of miles, and we are getting closer and closer to Luoyang."
The closer we get, we will definitely be able to reach Luoyang City early tomorrow morning."
Gao Fei said: "Zilong, how much money did you collect along the way?"
Zhao Yun stood behind Gao Fei. His handsome face was stained with vicissitudes of life at this time. He bowed and said: "It's not too much. We only collected hundreds of thousands. These Xiliang soldiers rarely have money on them."
Yes, these were dug out of an abandoned baggage train."
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars are just a few dozen kilograms of gold. It seems that Dong Zhuo has been deducting military pay. Now that we are at war, prices in Luoyang must have skyrocketed. These dozens of kilograms of gold are not enough for us to buy fodder for our horses.
"Gao Fei said with a hint of worry, "Forget it, there is no need to set up roadblocks anymore, and there is no need to collect money anymore. After a while, we will move forward with the whole army. It is also time to help Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers."
After resting for a while, Gao Fei and everyone else began to mount their horses. After giving the order, they began to gallop forward, no longer needing to pay attention to the dead bodies along the way.
The further they walked forward, the more Gao Fei and others felt the aura of death ahead. After running for more than ten miles, they saw flames rising into the sky directly in front of them, so they ordered their men to speed up.
Five miles ahead, there was a small village. There was a fire all around the village. A group of Xiliang soldiers were surrounded in the village and could not break out. However, the Xiliang soldiers led by Lu Bu kept throwing torches at the village from the outside. When they saw someone coming from
When they came out of the village, they would shoot everyone.
The fire was soaring into the sky, and the slightly tired faces of the Bingzhou soldiers showed extremely terrifying ferocity. Under the reflection of the fire, each of their faces were colorful red, and their bodies and horses all had a strong smell of blood, which made people feel uncomfortable.
After seeing it, I felt very frightened, as if this was a cavalry from the region, coming to spread death in the world.
"Burn it for me!" Lu Bu waved the Fangtian painted halberd, and the look from his poisonous snake-like eyes was enough to kill anything. He bent his bow and shot arrows himself. As long as he saw someone rushing out of the sea of fire, no matter who the person was, he would
The arrow shot towards the man's face, sending him into the sea of fire, allowing him to be burned by the blazing fire.
In the sea of fire, Xiliang soldiers were all like frightened birds, rushing out to fight to the death. Some people were burned by the fire, and they rushed out of the village, not to survive, but to seek relief.
The screams were endless, and the groans of pain were also mixed in. The raging fire began to spread outwards like a prairie fire, making the fire bigger and bigger. After only a short time, the sea of fire engulfed the entire village.
, the Xiliang soldiers inside struggled to crawl out of the sea of fire. When their burnt black arms were stretched out halfway, they stopped moving and froze there, gradually being swallowed up by the fire.
Soon, there were no more shouts in the village, only the crackling sound of the fire and the smell of burnt paste were heard.
At this time, Gao Fei's troops arrived at the place where the flames were soaring. Seeing that Lu Bu had assembled the remaining five or six thousand Bingzhou cavalry, they waved and shouted: "Brother Feng, please stay!"
Lu Bu was about to set off when he saw a group of troops chasing him on the official road behind him. He turned around and saw Gao Fei, so he turned his horse's head and went to meet him: "It turns out to be General Gao. I wonder why General Gao is so slow to come?"
Gao Fei looked at the village that was devoured by the fire and the corpses of Xiliang soldiers lying around, and he already knew the situation of the battle. He cupped his hands towards Lu Bu and said: "Brother Fengxian, don't blame me, I chased you all the way, but
There are corpses everywhere along the way, and I have to deal with them, otherwise, if a plague is caused, it will be very bad, and I also took in many wounded soldiers of Brother Feng, so the arrival is relatively slow."
Lu Bu did not take this seriously. Relying on his own martial prowess, he led Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Xue Lan, and Li Feng to pursue them all the way. Although they were intercepted by Dong Zhuo's army, they did not
There were too many dangers. The Bingzhou athletes he led pounced on the panicked Xiliang soldiers like tigers and wolves, always with the wind.
Can Yun's force broke through. After finally chasing here, he was ambushed by Guo Si and was surrounded by 10,000 infantry in the village. He commanded decisively and led his army to break through. Guo Si fled when he saw this. So he
In turn, they drove the leaderless team into the village and set fire to them all.
He glanced at Gao Fei and saw that the people behind Gao Fei were also elites, so he said loudly: "Now that we are here, let's work together to pursue Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has already been protected by Ma Teng and Han Sui an hour earlier.
Let's go, as long as we pursue non-stop now, we will definitely be able to pursue Luoyang City at dawn. Regardless of whether Dong Zhuo enters Luoyang or not, I am sure to defeat him, because I have already grasped the weakness of the Xiliang soldiers."
Gao Fei understands very well that the weakness of the Xiliang soldiers is that they are too scattered and not very disciplined. Moreover, as long as the recognized commander dies, the remaining commanders will be dissatisfied with each other. This is equivalent to a leaderless group. It is impossible to deal with such an army.
It doesn't take much effort. All you need to do is to set up a battle array and use determined spirit.
It's enough to attack the person who gave the order. In addition, the Xiliang soldiers were still in the process of being defeated, which further weakened the morale of the army. No wonder Lu Bu would use more than 10,000 cavalry to pursue an enemy several times his size and still remain invincible.
The land, coupled with his personal bravery, were enough to keep the morale of Bingzhou soldiers high.
"Okay, then let's join forces now, pursue Dong Zhuo together, and attack Luoyang in one fell swoop." Gao Fei was very happy, because he was joining forces with a strong person, and the only result of a strong alliance is victory. As for what happens after the victory, Gao Fei
It has already been planned.
Then, Lu Bu's face suddenly changed color and he shouted in a low voice: "No! We must kill Dong Zhuo! If we don't kill Dong Zhuo, my pursuit will be meaningless."
Gao Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, let's go to Luoyang first. Dong Zhuo's horse and infantry will retreat together, so they won't be able to run far. We only need to follow quietly behind, there is no need..."
"We must pursue at full speed. Dong Zhuo has no infantry left. The remaining cavalry are all Qiang and Hu cavalry brought by Ma Teng and Han Sui from Liangzhou. Most of the infantry have gone to garrison Aocang." Lu Bu yelled.
, turned the horse's head, and then said to Gao Fei, "General Gao, your soldiers, please follow me. Whenever there is a war ahead, I will take the lead, you finish the battle, and we will work together to march the troops to the gate of Luoyang City."
After hearing this, Gao Fei had no objection. Since he was not allowed to lose troops and generals, he naturally wanted it. Moreover, his mind was only on Luoyang. Whether Dong Zhuo killed or not did not mean anything to him. There was no need to lose troops and generals.
After the discussion, Lu Bu took Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Xue Lan, Li Feng and the remaining Bingzhou cavalry of less than 6,000 and began to run at the front of the official road, while Gao Fei took Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Jia
Xu and other subordinates followed Lu Bu.
As soon as the army moved here, the thundering sound of horse hooves kept ringing on the official road, giving people an extremely threatening feeling.
He thought that he would encounter Xiliang soldiers along the way and intercept them, but he ran for twenty or thirty miles without even seeing a single person. Lu Bu was wondering why he was not intercepted when he was approaching Luoyang. Suspicion flashed over.
However, what he got in exchange was extreme joy. When he remembered that Dong Zhuo was ahead, he felt extremely happy in his heart, as if he had already seen Dong Zhuo's head in his hands.
The calm also made Gao Fei feel suspicious. He didn't know what happened, but he was sure that something must have happened that prevented Dong Zhuo from dividing his troops for defense, or that he was engaged in some conspiracy or ambush. He sent Zhao Yun
Lu Bu went to remind the former army, but he didn't know that Lu Bu didn't care about these things at all, he just rushed blindly.
After Zhao Yun came back from the front army, he said to Gao Fei: "My lord, that guy Lu Bu is too arrogant. He said that he was the vanguard, so you don't need to worry about me. He asked me to come back and tell my lord, just follow him and take advantage."
."
"Hmph!" Taishi Ci yelled angrily after hearing this, "You bastard! Who does he think he is? He is just a common man. How can he be compared with the lord? If I have the chance, I will definitely chop off his head with my own hands."
Jia Xu hurriedly stopped and said, "Ziyi, lower your voice. There are Bingzhou soldiers not far ahead. It's not good if they hear you."
Gao Fei said: "Forget it, I didn't try to do anything anyway. I was just following him to pick up the bargains. Since he isn't worried, I don't have anything to say. Now I am more vigilant. If there is an ambush, I usually won't
Instead of attacking the front army, we will attack the center and rear troops, so that the whole army can be careful."
The order was passed on, and the whole army began to be very cautious. However, after running for a while, it was almost dawn, but there was still no ambush from Dong Zhuojun, which made Gao Fei feel very strange.
