Jia Rong also suffered some minor injuries during the battle. Although the protective power of the golden armor was strong, the arms and legs were not covered with armor. The defenders' tenacious resistance aroused the ferocity of the siege soldiers, and they desperately attacked them.
forward.
"Brother, you should go down to the city first." Lu Bu glanced at Jia Rong's injury and said worriedly.
Guo Si also advised: "General, please go down to the city and rest first. You have not rested all day and night."
Two medical staff came to Jia Rong's side under the leadership of the soldiers.
Jia Rong looked around and saw the fighting between the defenders and the coalition forces. The soldiers under his command were equally tired.
"No, brothers are still fighting hard on the city. I can't go down to the city. It won't be too late to kill all these thieves before going down to the city." Jia Rong roared, and with the huge force of the scimitar in his hand, a man who had just boarded the city was killed.
The coalition soldiers who were on the city wall looking around were beheaded.
When the soldiers around him heard these words, they all looked sideways. If the general was like this, how could they retreat so easily?
Passed from one to another, and with the deliberate spread of the message by thoughtful people, all the soldiers learned about Jia Rong's words. The morale of Guan Guan was shocked, and everyone rose up to kill the enemy.
In the middle of the allied army, Yuan Shao saw that the resistance of the defenders on the city was becoming more and more tenacious. He sighed and said: "Retreat the troops!"
Suddenly there was a sound of gold ringing on the battlefield. After receiving the order, the coalition soldiers fled back one after another. Yes, they were running away. They succumbed to the general's power and slowly stepped forward. However, the soldiers who had just boarded Hulao Pass
It was tragic. Many soldiers heard the sound of gold and felt that they could not retreat. They surrendered directly. One moment, they were fighting with swords and guns, and the next moment they were robbed. The relationship changed so fast that it was dizzying to watch.
Seeing that the withdrawal speed was twice as fast as that of the charge, Sun Jian's mouth showed a trace of sarcasm. He was sure that the princes would not talk about attacking the pass lightly anymore. They had been attacking the city for so long and still hadn't captured Hulao Pass.
The princes are already afraid, and the loss of troops means that his status among the princes has plummeted. Take himself as an example, how glorious he was at the beginning, with strong soldiers and horses. After the defeat at Hulao Pass, Sun Jian seldom spoke in front of the princes.
Well, except for Cao Cao who would chat with me on weekdays, no one wanted to talk to me. In the coalition army, strength is the capital of speech.
Sun Jian also understood that he had offended Yuan Shu, the fourth generation and the three princes. After coming from a famous family, his chances of success were very slim, and he was anxious inside. Sun Jian still had a dull look on his face at ordinary times. After returning to Changsha, he asked himself, he would not let go of the little Yuan Shu.
In my heart, as for Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, it would be a bit troublesome if he really targeted himself.
The princes retreated, and the garrison behind the gate let out a roar that shook the sky, shouting and shouting to vent their joy and anger. Seeing the former robes falling one by one, no soldier had any anger in his heart. Some soldiers fell down on their faces.
The ground was crying loudly. In front of him was a soldier with several wounds. This soldier could never forget that in order to protect himself, Pao Ze jumped into the enemy's gun without hesitation.
Jia Rong staggered back a few steps, and Guo Bang hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Lu Bu led Hua Yu's disciples and hurried over.
The corpses in Hulao were piled on top of each other, and severed limbs and arms could be seen everywhere, stained with blood. Under the shining of the setting sun, it felt even more vicissitudes of life.
One day later, Jia Rong woke up leisurely and opened his eyes. What he saw was Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals.
Jia Rong shook his head, raised his head with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with me? Are the coalition forces attacking the city again?"
Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and Guo Bang replied: "General, the coalition forces have withdrawn and are not attacking the city."
"That's good, that's good!" Jia Rong breathed a long sigh of relief and placed his head heavily on the pillow.
"Since General Jia has nothing to do, I will resign from my humble position first!" Zhang Liao said with fists in his hands.
Li Su left behind Zhang Liao and others.
After the Battle of Hulao Pass, Zhang Liao's impression of Jia Rong changed greatly. Some of his previous views on Jia Rong also disappeared. In terms of the ability to command troops, Zhang Liao felt that he was not inferior to Jia Rong, but Jia Rong could last for a day.
He insisted on staying at the pass to defend the enemy together with the soldiers, but he couldn't do it. During this period, Zhang Liao rested for a long time in the pass, not to mention the generals of Dong Jun. They hurried down to the pass to heal after being slightly injured, which showed no general style.
, but remembering Li Su's instructions in the army, Zhang Liao showed a wry smile.
Jia Rong's deeds spread quickly among the defenders. He stayed on the battlefield for more than a day and persisted until the coalition forces retreated. Many Xiliang soldiers were proud and ashamed after hearing this. Their generals could persist, but they,
But he wished that the soldiers who came to replace him had come earlier. After hearing this, the Dong army officers were surprised and even more moved.
After successive battles at Hulao Pass, Jia Rong's prestige among soldiers has become higher and higher. Lu Yaozhi Ma Li has been recognized by people for a long time. A good general is not just what he says, but what he does. Jia Rong
Rong Zai used his actions to tell the defenders why the Xiliang army could become the king on the battlefield.
After the injury was healed, Jia Rong, accompanied by several generals, visited the injured soldiers.
Although the medical team of sixty people is not large, it has saved the lives of many soldiers. In ancient times, when medical skills were backward, a small arrow wound could make a warrior leave the battlefield forever. There was a continuous flow of medicinal materials from Luoyang, regardless of
Whether it was Dong Jun or Xiliang Jun, what they recorded after being injured and rescued was Jia Rong's favor.
There were more than 10,000 defenders in the pass, but now only more than 8,000 were left, and nearly half of them were dead. However, they allowed more than 30,000 coalition troops to rest here. The result of one to four was enough to make everyone raise their eyebrows.
For seven days in a row, the princes outside the pass remained stationary and stopped talking about war. The gates of the stronghold were closed tightly and the war-free signs were hung high.
In addition to attacking the city, the princes outside the pass probably only eat and drink in the camp. Anyway, Jia Rong has been locked up for so long. The news he got from the lone wolf soldiers told him that most of the princes' soldiers returned to the camp to eat, drink and have fun. Outside the city
The coalition forces are patchy and complex, and lone wolf soldiers can easily blend into them.
All the princes were frightened, and nearly half of the coalition army died. No matter how Yuan Shao talked, the princes no longer talked about war lightly. The army was the guarantee for them to fight for fame and fortune after entering Luoyang.
The allied princes and generals of the various ministries drank and feasted outside Hulao Pass all day long. Each prince had his own camp, and they had no scruples about eating, drinking, and having fun. Some neighboring princes' camps even drew swords against each other when they had a disagreement. The coalition camp gave people
It feels like they are not here to fight, but to fight in a group, with no discipline at all.
Soldiers are a major event for the country. In the military camp, apart from training, if you make any noise, you will be severely punished.
After half a month of rest, most of the soldiers in Hulao Pass have recovered. The huge wooden rocks guarding the pass have been replenished. Even the crossbows have been repaired by craftsmen from Luoyang. If the coalition forces attack the city again, they will definitely be able to do so.
Give him a head-on blow.
Gao Shun wrote a letter saying that a Dong army soldier had arrived at Hangu Pass.
Jia Rong ordered Gao Shun and Dong Jun's soldiers to guard Hangu Pass, but the control of the gate must be firmly in his hands. If possible, it would not be a bad idea to absorb Dong Jun's soldiers into the Xiliang Army.
Dong Jun and Xiliang Army are one family, so it is natural for Dong Jun soldiers to surrender to Xiliang Army, just like Hua Xiong followed Jia Rong.
At the same time, bad news came from Pingjin and Mengjin. The Allied forces divided 80,000 troops to attack the two passes. The two passes were already in danger.
If Mengjin and Pingjin were lost, Jia Rong's defense of Hulao Pass would be meaningless.
The Xiliang Army and Dong Army in Hulao Pass are roughly equal in strength. Jia Rong is thinking about how to recruit Dong Zhuo Army in the Pass. Poaching someone is undoubtedly a very satisfying thing.
After receiving the news that the Allied soldiers were attacking Mengjin and Pingjin, Jia Rong began to think of a way out for himself. Hangu Pass was in his own hands. Among the eight passes in Luoyang, only Hulao Pass, Chenggao Pass and Hangu Pass were the leading forces in the West.
Liang Jun, and the remaining five passes were stationed by Dong Jun. This did not delay his immediate withdrawal from Luoyang.
Li Ru realized something was wrong when he first took over the military affairs, but when he thought that Jia Rong was in Hulao Pass, he would not have any tricks, so he didn't take it to heart. The matter of Hangu Pass should be treated as Dong Jun and Xiliang
The army's retreat.
In Hulao Pass, after Jia Rong had lunch, he came to the residence of the injured soldiers. The soldiers had gone from initial shock to gradually adapting to Jia Rong's arrival. As a soldier at the lowest level, what they saw was basically
They all had cold faces, but after coming to Hulao Pass and meeting Jia Rong, this concept was changed. The faces of the Xiliang Army soldiers were always filled with happiness. This time, the Dong Army soldiers and Bingzhou Army soldiers
Very envious, they also thought about joining the Xiliang Army.
Jia Rong went straight to an injured general and greeted him cordially: "What do you think of General Zang?"
The injured general raised his head, bowed his hands and said: "I pay my respects to you, general!"
Jia Rong helped him up with a smile and said with a smile: "General Zang, there is no need to be so polite. You and I will live and die together. We already have a brotherhood. Just take good care of your injuries."
The injured general was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were instantly filled with sparkling tears. This injured general was Zang Ba, who was promoted by Ding Yuan after Zhang Liao. He was a general at the same time as Hao Meng and Cao Xing. He was highly skilled in martial arts and quite strategic.
.
However, Zang Ba's status in Dong Jun was not as good as the previous ones. This was mainly because Zang Ba was an upright man and could not stand the way Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others were being dominated by villains. He repeatedly spoke out against them and offended the two of them. Among Dong Jun, Zang Ba
Quite suppressed.
Zang Ba bowed respectfully to Jia Rong: "Thank you, general!"
When a suppressed general suddenly heard the general saying that the two had a brotherhood and there was no need to be polite to each other, the feeling in his heart was evident. Zang Ba did not take Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others seriously, and he had already made up his mind.
Jia Rong, a man who is silent on weekdays but brave in wartime, will never look back once he is recognized by people like Zang Ba.
"General Zang, take good care of his injuries. Let's go out of the city and fight the Guandong princes again tomorrow!" Jia Rong gently patted Zang Ba's shoulder and comforted him.
