Jia Rong smiled and said: "Yan'er, don't cry. Look, everyone else is looking at you."
Cai Yan also woke up from the initial panic, beat Jia Rong on the chest a few times, and stamped her feet vigorously, in full daughter-like manner.
"Brother, no matter what others say, Yan'er will marry you!" Cai Yan suddenly said firmly.
Jia Rong felt a warm current passing through his heart. He held Cai Yan in his arms again and whispered, "Yan'er, I love you!"
Cai Yan's delicate body trembled, and she buried her head in Jia Rong's arms. She was so shy that the sweetness in her heart could only be felt but not expressed in words.
"Brother, you must protect yourself and don't show off on the battlefield." Cai Yan said while helping Jia Rong tidy up his clothes, just like a husband and his wife constantly reminding him of some trivial matters before leaving.
Jia Rong liked the warm atmosphere very much and kept nodding in agreement.
"Brother, you look so good in this dress." Cai Yan praised.
After reluctantly bidding farewell to Cai Yan, Jia Rong had no regrets in his heart. He patted his horse on the back, and the horse under him understood it and ran towards the distance, leaving a trail of smoke and dust on the road. He did not look back all the way, and the soldiers marched to Hulao Pass.
.
Being so close to Cai Yan in public did not affect Jia Rong's image as a wise and tall person among ordinary soldiers. Jia Rong always acted unconventionally and even violated the rules. Some of the soldiers had seen it before, let alone this incident.
Little things.
Watching Jia Rong, who was dressed in golden armor, gradually go away, Cai Yan said slowly in a voice that only he could hear: "Brother, if you have any shortcomings, Yan'er will not live alone."
Sun Jian was ordered to be the vanguard of the coalition forces and marched towards Hulao Pass step by step.
Bao Xin returned to the army with an angry look on his face. His younger brother Bao Zhong stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
Bao Xin told Bao Zhong exactly what happened in General Bao Xin's tent.
"Brother, what if we were like this..." Bao Zhong whispered in Bao Xin's ear.
After hearing this, Bao Xin cheered loudly and his eyes flashed with excitement. The two brothers worked together and discussed a countermeasure.
That night, a troop of about two thousand soldiers and horses rushed towards Hulao Pass at night. They marched very fast and quickly surpassed Sun Jian's army.
Bao Xin and Bao Zhong regard Hulao Pass as a place to gain fame. They are supporters of Yuan Shao and believe that such achievements should not be occupied by an outsider like Sun Jian. Bao Xin was one of the eight captains of the Xiyuan Army, and he himself
His martial arts skills were excellent, and his military management was once appreciated by the late emperor. He believed that a vulgar warrior like Dong Zhuo Jiarong did not understand strategy and could only wait for death.
After Hulao was closed, Li Shun, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, Guo Si and other generals stood at the top of the city and looked at the swaying and shouting coalition forces standing outside the city.
A trace of sneer appeared on Lu Bu's lips, and he said: "Call all the troops and horses, let me see the strength of the coalition forces."
Hua Xiong took a step forward and said: "The general is a flag of the Xiliang Army. How can we go on the battlefield easily? Let Hua Xiong lead the soldiers there."
Guo Bang, who was about to step forward, saw that Hua Xiong had already asked for a fight, shook his head and retreated.
Lu Bu had a refusal in his heart and had not fought for many days. When he saw the enemy army, Lu Bu felt as if there were insects crawling in his body, twitching his heartstrings. However, Hua Xiong's words made him unable to object. The side of the Xiliang Army
The flag is so loud, how can it go out to fight against such a rabble? If it is spread, it will damage the prestige.
"Hua Xiong, in this battle we can only win but not lose, otherwise you are the only one to ask." As a vanguard, Lu Bu has slightly more power than Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong admired Lu Bu's ability very much, so he could say those words in a low voice. However, these words also contained a lot of skill. Hua Xiong was secretly grateful for his clever behavior.
"If Hua Xiong cannot win, I am willing to raise my head to see you!" Hua Xiong said loudly.
Li Shun stepped forward and said: "My generals, the princes of Guandong are cunning and careful."
Lu Bu was dissatisfied with Li Shun's caution, "There are so many strategies, they are just a bunch of people. When our cavalry arrives, they will immediately fall apart."
Guo Si looked thoughtful, stepped forward and said, "I'll go hold the battle for General Hua."
Lu Bu nodded and did not object. He did not dare to throw aside Jia Rong's instructions before leaving. Li Shun was the commander-in-chief of Hulao Pass.
Outside Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong stood proudly in front of the formation with a long sword in his hand. The cavalry behind him lined up, staring eagerly at the coalition forces on the opposite side.
"I am Hua Xiong, the general of the Xiliang Army. Do you dare to challenge me?" Hua Xiong glanced at the banner of the coalition army, shook his hands, and the long iron sword shed a little cold light under the reflection of the sun.
Bao Zhong was about to step forward when a general behind him stepped forward to persuade him: "General, I am humble enough to be willing to go and kill this officer."
Bao Zhong thought that now he was also the commander of an army, so he nodded in agreement.
"I am Hu Wan, the general of the coalition forces. Hua Xiong, don't be so arrogant. I'll take your life." Hu Wan raised his spear and rode towards Hua Xiong.
War horses are rare items among the coalition forces. Taking the coalition forces in front of us as an example, there are only five or six war horses, and they can only be owned by some prominent figures in the army.
Hua Xiong looked at Hu Wan and was filled with contempt. Upon closer inspection, there was a tiny wormhole on the wooden handle of the spear. What could such a weapon be used for? And the general's attire, even the lowest level of the Xiliang Army
The soldiers are not as good as the generals of the coalition forces. If the generals of the coalition forces were like this, there would be no need to fight this war.
The back of the sword patted the horse's back lightly, and the horse underneath him understood and charged towards Hu Wan.
The two horses crossed each other, the sword flashed, Hu Wan's head was in a different place, and the ownerless horse headed towards the coalition's main line.
Looking at Hu Wan again, he was already dead. The spear in his hand was cut into two pieces by Hua Xiong, and his armor was broken.
The allied soldiers wanted to shout for Hu Wan in unison, but Hu Wan was killed by Hua Xiong after just one fight. Their open mouths did not close for a long time, and they looked at Hua Xiong in the field in surprise.
Bao Zhong said angrily: "Hua Xiong, you actually killed my general." After saying this, he actually mounted his horse and killed Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong secretly thought that he was stupid and walked towards Bao Xin without fear.
"The thief will die!" Hua Xiong shouted, and the long knife fell with a powerful force.
Bao Xin was frightened by Hua Xiong's shout and fell down. His horse was cut in half by Hua Xiong's huge force.
After beheading two coalition generals in a row, Hua Xiong felt extremely aggrieved. It was finally time to fight. He thought he could have a good fight, but he didn't expect that the coalition generals were all like this.
The general died in battle, and there was a commotion among the coalition soldiers. They all looked at Hua Xiong with wide eyes and horror. Bao Zhong and Hu Wan were quite good at martial arts in the army, but they were beheaded by Hua Xiong in just one attack. So the person in front of them
How powerful his martial arts must be.
Hua Xiong was extremely disappointed with the coalition generals. He slapped his horse on the back and rode towards the coalition forces alone.
A coalition general shouted loudly: "The general died in the hands of this man, kill him and avenge the general." No matter how much he shouted, only ten or twenty soldiers dared to step forward.
These so-called coalition soldiers are only temporary recruits. The better ones are county soldiers recruited from counties along the way. Like the one in front of us, most of them are ordinary people who have just put down their farming tools. They can swarm them after winning a battle. When encountering something like this
They fought hard to retreat. If it weren't for Bao Xin's power, they would have dispersed long ago.
Hua Xiong shouted loudly, frightening the coalition soldiers who came to fight and took a few steps back.
Li Meng saw that the fighting spirit of the coalition soldiers was not high, so he led his troops to attack the coalition soldiers. Five hundred cavalry rolled in with an astonishing momentum. The coalition soldiers had never seen such a team before. Their fighting spirit collapsed instantly and they fled in all directions. They could no longer care about anything.
It's military discipline.
Guo Bang kept looking around carefully. Even when Hua Xiong led the victorious division back, there was still no trace of the enemy. It seemed that the strength of the coalition soldiers was just like this.
After cleaning the battlefield, Guo Bang truthfully reported today's situation to Jia Rong. The victory in the first battle greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the pass.
When Yuan Shao received the news that Bao Xin's subordinate Bao Zhong was defeated and killed, he did not blame Bao Xin, but expressed his comfort with kind words. When Yuan Shao elected him as the leader of the alliance, Bao Xin had contributed a lot.
Unwilling to fail, Bao Xin asked the soldiers who returned from defeat for information about the soldiers in the pass. These soldiers described how the sky was falling, magic soldiers descended from the sky, tens of thousands of enemies, etc. Bao Xin shook his head in disappointment and walked away. He once ruled Xiyuan in Luoyang.
The army is such a glorious place, but I didn’t expect that it now rules such a ragtag group of people, and its full ambition to serve the country was defeated by reality.
When Sun Jian got the news that Bao Zhong was trying to seize the credit, his face showed a sneer. Don't forget who is in Luoyang City. The world-famous Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo, how could they be like Yi?
Thinking that the guard of Hulao Pass was Hua Xiong, Sun Jian felt very overwhelmed. Hua Xiong used to be known as the most powerful general in Dong Zhuo's army. He was famous for his bravery and joined Jia Rong. Unexpectedly, he was sent to Hulao Pass. Sun Jian realized that Hua Xiong was the most powerful general in Dong Zhuo's army.
There will be a fierce battle behind bars.
Sun Jian fought steadily along the way, opening roads across mountains and filling bridges when encountering water, and seemed very calm. All the scouts in the army were sent out. The battle with the Qiang cavalry in Beidi County is still fresh in his memory. An army without scouts is lost.
A deaf-mute who has both eyes and ears can only be beaten on the battlefield.
Five days later, Sun Jian and his party appeared outside Hulao Pass, but did not encounter Jia Rongjun along the way.
The army rested for a day, and after setting pots and making rice the next day, Sun Jian ordered his soldiers to arrive within a stone's throw of Hulao Pass.
The defenders on the city had already spread the news to the pass.
"Sun Wentai is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Who among you dares to fight?" Jia Rong looked at his generals and asked after hearing the news brought by the soldiers. At this time, Jia Rong had already led a thousand blood guards to Hulao Pass and got Bao Zhong.
He smiled noncommittally at the news that he had led an army and returned in defeat.
Hua Xiong immediately said: "General, I am willing to go!" With Jia Rong in Hulao Pass, the general no longer has to be timid and can just lead the army to charge forward.
Lu Bu and Guo Si also came out to pay their respects and said: "I am willing to go to my humble position!"
Seeing that there are so many talents under his command, Jia Ronghao became angry and laughed: "Okay, Hua Xiong will still play in the first battle. Fengxian and his eldest brother will hold the battle for Hua Xiong. We must let Sun Jianjun see what it means to be an elite."
I beg you for your help, please give me some tips, please remember to save it after reading. With just a little effort, if no one sticks to the good habit of voting, our Xiliang Army will become stronger and stronger.
