Two hundred and fortieth IX The battle of defeating Dong twenty-nine
The next day, early in the morning, the coalition forces began to attack Hulao Pass. However, this attack was not just a show-off as in the past. Siege vehicles and trebuchets were all fully prepared, and hundreds of thousands of troops were ready.
Yuan Shao wore a golden helmet and armor, held a sword in his hand, and was in high spirits. When he gave an order, fifty drums suddenly sounded. Those responsible for attacking the city were all Yuan Shao's cronies or princes loyal to Yuan Shao. Kong
Kong Ni was the vanguard general of Yuan Shao's march. Kong Ni was originally the governor of Yuzhou. He was weak among the princes, but he wanted to take credit for the battle against Dong, so Yuan Shao handed over the siege task to the Yuzhou army.
.
Kong Niao wore a suit of armor and sat on the horse. He felt uncomfortable all over. He only wore this armor today. Usually, Kong Niao looked down on these Qiu Ba at all. How could they wear armor? But today was different. He was a pioneer and had to wear it.
, if any arrow does not have an eye, it will not be fun to shoot at him. When he saw the drum sound, he waved the long sword in his hand and said: "All the soldiers in the army, charge for me!" Because he was too excited!
, almost fell off his horse. When the Yuzhou Army saw that the governor had given the order, they rushed forward under the leadership of the captain.
Kong Ni sat on his horse and looked at his Yuzhou Army proudly, and said to himself: "Today I will let you see how our Yuzhou Army can break through this pass!" The Yuzhou Army had already rushed forward with the siege ladder, and was in the process of rushing forward.
At this time, there was only a "creak" sound, and the suspension bridge closed by Hulao was lowered. Kong Ni thought that the enemy was coming to attack, so he quickly shouted in fear: "Retreat! Retreat!"
Tens of thousands of Yuzhou troops were originally as timid as rats. They dared to charge because they heard that something had happened in the city. Suddenly they saw the suspension bridge lowered, and they were shocked. Now that the governor ordered to retreat, how could they dare to charge forward again?
They were all frightened and retreated. Their retreat caused the troops of Kong Rong, Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang and other princes who followed behind to disrupt the military formation. For a time, people and horses trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.
Liu Lin, who was protecting the army on the right wing, was furious when he saw it. But at this moment, he had no choice but to order the entire army to prepare for an attack. Once the enemy attacked, they would resist the Xiliang soldiers. Otherwise, the entire alliance would be destroyed.
The army was defeated. Not to mention Liu Lin, even Yuan Shao, who asked Kong Ni to be the forward general, was full of anger at this moment. He cursed Kong Ni for his incompetence and quickly ordered Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other troops to be prepared if the situation changed.
, went to the rescue, because everyone knew that if they did not resist the enemy, the entire army would be destroyed.
The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened at this moment, but there was no sign of the army rushing out. Instead, it was just a group of old and weak soldiers who walked out timidly with a white flag and knelt on the suspension bridge. When the princes saw it,
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion. Liu Lin was the first to wake up and shouted: "Come over with me!" After saying that, he picked up the reins and rushed out. Immediately afterwards, eight thousand people behind him
The Youzhou cavalry also rushed over!
When the horse was stationed in front of the pass, Liu Lin held a whip in his hand, pointed at the group of old, weak, sick and disabled Xiliang soldiers and said: "Where is Dong Zhuo?" One of the veterans with a flag was frightened and said quickly: "Return to the general, Dong Xiangguo
..." "Huh?" "Oh no, no, Dong Zhuo has already led his troops back to Luoyang, and there are only a few of us in Guanzhong!" Liu Lin glanced at these old and weak soldiers, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" How dare those Xiliang soldiers say that?
They were so frightened that they stepped aside. Liu Lin rushed over like a whirlwind, followed closely by eight thousand Youzhou cavalry. Their terrifying momentum made these Xiliang soldiers collapse to the ground in fear.
Liu Lin led his troops and rushed into the pass, so that everyone woke up and realized that Hulao Pass was just an empty city. Cao Cao smiled knowingly on his face, and quickly led his horses and troops towards Hulao Pass, and on the left
Sun Jian did the same and rushed over with his Changsha army. Yuan Shao and other princes wanted to move, but unfortunately the entire Chinese army was still in chaos and could not march at all. They could only stare. Everyone was already facing Kong Niao's eighteen generations of ancestors.
The collective greetings were exchanged over and over again.
Dong Zhuo began to withdraw his troops last night, leading a 150,000 cavalry rush towards Luoyang. When he arrived at Luoyang, it was already the third day. After entering Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo did not rest at all, and directly ordered Niu Fu to lead Luoyang with his sergeants.
All the officials rushed to Chang'an, and he and Li Ru led the Xiliang soldiers into the palace and went straight to the palace of Queen Mother He!
"Come with me quickly, or it will be too late!" Dong Zhuo said loudly as soon as he entered the Fengyi Palace of Queen Mother He. Queen Mother He had actually always known the news about the front line. When she saw Dong Zhuo today, she wanted to refuse, but when she saw Dong Zhuo
With a murderous look, he quickly said: "Xiangguo, has it really come to that point? Do we have to leave?" Dong Zhuo glanced at Queen Mother He and then at Li Ru. Li Ru understood, and took dozens of xi
Liang Bing exited the main hall and headed towards the emperor's palace!
Dong Zhuo's face looked tired at this moment. He waved his hands and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I have already sent people to invite the emperor. You should also pack up quickly. We will set off in an hour!" "What? So fast?
?" Empress Dowager He looked surprised, and Dong Zhuo showed a trace of ferocity on his face, "What? Don't you want to leave and want to wait for your rescuer?" Empress Dowager He was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, using that Qianqian
Putting his thin hands on Dong Zhuo's waist, he hugged Dong Zhuo and whispered softly: "What are you saying about Xiang Guo? The Ai family is already a member of the Xiang Guo. Of course they will take the Xiang Guo as their top priority. However, the Ai family sighed in their hearts that this Luoyang City
Isn't it a pity to give up like this when you are so rich? Besides, Xijing has been abandoned for many years. How can this compare to the prosperity of Luoyang?"
Empress Dowager He fell to Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo's heart melt. Dong Zhuo no longer had any doubts, but he just sighed and said: "There is no other way. Now our army is stationed in Luoyang, there is no danger.
At that time, the rebels can come to Luoyang at any time. Although I am not afraid of them, if they frighten the emperor, it will be a big disadvantage!" Queen Mother He fell into Dong Zhuo's arms, with a deep hatred in her eyes,
She disappeared in an instant. She twisted in Dong Zhuo's arms and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang and the wealth of the world. As long as we guard the heavy troops outside Luoyang City, are we still afraid of those rebels? Otherwise, we will be afraid of the rebels."
Don’t leave!”
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo heard what the Queen Mother He said, pushed the Queen Mother He away, glanced at her face, and saw that her expression was as usual, he said: "Xijing has two passes, Tongguan and Wuguan. I
If we set up heavy troops along the passes, even if the rebels come to Xijing, they will be unable to catch up. When the time comes, we will dispatch capable generals to eliminate these rebels in one fell swoop. How about we return to Luoyang then?"
When Empress Dowager He heard this, she knew that Dong Zhuo's decision had been made, so she did not dare to say anything more. She just hoped that the Allied Forces would appear in Luoyang at this moment!
