After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, all the generals in Liangzhou looked troubled, but they had nothing to say. After all, after arriving at Sishui Pass, Lu Bu first repelled the arrogant Kwantung coalition forces, and yesterday he killed the Kwantung princes to pieces.
, only victory is the last word!
When Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo praising Lu Bu again and again, the Liangzhou generals became a little worried, so he stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Marquis Wen is unparalleled in bravery, and he and I, the Liangzhou sergeant, complement each other perfectly."
, But if the three armies did not use their lives, Marquis Wen alone would definitely not be able to achieve such brilliant results!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Well, what Li Ru said is true. I, the Liangzhou soldier, am the most skilled soldier in the world. How can the soldiers from Liangzhou compete with our army?"
As soon as Dong Zhuo said this, the slapping people were like a swarm of flies discovering a rotten egg with a crack. They all spit out lotus flowers and bloomed peonies on their tongues. Dong Zhuo was so elated that he laughed loudly.
Outside Hulao Pass.
Zuo Aoran led his 30,000 troops and various princes to form 50,000 troops, a total of 80,000 troops, and arrived at the stronghold outside Hulao Pass. Zuo Aoran was not in a hurry to order the army to attack the city.
First, let the army recharge its batteries, and at the same time, the marching Sima and Zuo Army Advisor Tian Feng be summoned to the commander's tent to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy.
The camp of the 80,000-strong army stretches for more than ten miles. Most of them are soldiers and horses from various princes. Needless to say, the rest are 30,000 elite troops from Zuo Aoran. In the evening, the soldiers sat around the fire and chatted.
.
"I heard that the battle at Sishui Pass was not going well!" a soldier said with a frown.
"Hmph! As soon as our Zuo family army leaves, they will all turn into shit!" Another soldier said with disdain.
At this time, another soldier said: "If our Zuo army attacked Sishui Pass, maybe we have passed Sishui Pass by now and are eating in Luoyang City!"
All of a sudden, the soldiers started talking in all directions. Their words were full of pride in being a member of the Zuo family army, and at the same time they also showed their contempt for other princes. As they chatted, everyone's topics were discussed.
Finally, it fell on Zuo Aoran. The soldiers all said: After entering Luoyang, the general must be appointed as the general and prime minister, taking charge of the military and political power of the world. He can be granted a throne or something, and then the world will be peaceful.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zuo Aoran led his troops to form a formation to fight at Hulao Pass, while Dong Zhuo ordered Li Meng to lead Zhang Zi, Wang Fang, and Wang Chang to lead an army of 50,000 Xiliang troops.
The army came out to fight.
As soon as the door of Hulao Pass opened, the four generals rushed out first, and then 50,000 Dong Zhuo's troops lined up. Li Meng raised his sword and stood in front of the battle formation to challenge. Zuo Aoran looked at the princes on the left and right and asked
He said: "Who dares to go out to meet the enemy and destroy the majesty of Dong Zhuo's army?"
Zhang Chao swung the sword in his hand, raised his head and clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to go out to fight and kill this thief!" Zuo Aoran immediately agreed to Zhang Chao's plan to fight against the enemy.
Zhang Chao took up the formation to meet the enemy. He first quarreled with Li Meng until both of them turned red in the face. Then he started to fight with his horse shouting wildly. The two rode in tandem and the soldiers on both sides shouted loudly.
Support your own generals.
This Li Meng was a famous brave general under Dong Zhuo. He was tall and strong, and his sword was heavy and powerful. Zhang Chao was obviously at a disadvantage against him. After only a dozen rounds of fighting, Zhang Chao was unable to resist. Zhang Chao, who was timid in his heart, immediately lost his battle.
He lowered his sword and turned the horse's head to defeat him. At this time, Li Meng was eager to kill. He was not willing to let Zhang Chao go. He immediately waved his sword and shouted wildly to pursue Zhang Chao.
Li Ru, who was watching the battle at Hulao Pass, immediately said to Dong Zhuo: "Father-in-law, General Li Meng has won. You can order the army to cover up and kill him immediately. This will achieve greater results!"
Dong Zhuo nodded excitedly, and then issued an order: "The three armies will then cover up and kill!"
Zuo Aoran hurriedly led all the coalition soldiers to fight, but the soldiers who had been frightened by Li Meng seemed to be unable to exert half of their usual combat effectiveness. However, Dong Zhuo's army was full of morale. The two armies only fought for less than a quarter of an hour. The coalition forces
There was a complete defeat, and the entire army began to retreat in an unorganized manner.
Zuo Aoran's 30,000 Zuo family troops were at the rear of the military formation, so not only did they not suffer any losses, they were the first to leave. The other princes saw this and cursed, but they did not stop.
They were all running around as fast as they could.
The four generals Li Meng, Zhang Zi, Wang Fang, and Wang Chang led an army of 80,000 to pursue the "Left" commander's flag (Dong Zhuo added an army of 30,000 to cover up the attack, because Li Rudi's words could expand the results of the battle),
Zuo Aoran was running away in front, while Dong Zhuojun was chasing after him. Both sides chased and escaped, and before they knew it, they ran for more than ten miles and came to a geographical location similar to the bottom of a pot.
When the four generals Li Meng, Zhang Zi, Wang Fang, and Wang Chang led their troops to catch up here, they were surprised to find that Zuo Aoran, who had been running away just now, had completely lost his trace, and not even a ghost could be found.
Not here anymore.
Compared with the others, Wang Chang was much more attentive. Wang Chang vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he said to Li Meng: "There seems to be something wrong with the situation! Let's just withdraw our troops!" After Li Meng heard what Wang Chang said,
He also felt that something was a little strange, so he immediately ordered to return to the army.
However, at this moment, thousands of kilograms of firewood were suddenly pushed down from the cliff at the narrow entrance. Wang Chang, Li Meng, Zhang Zi, and Wang Fang were shocked when they saw this. Then everyone saw another group of bows and arrows.
Soldiers appeared on the cliff, everyone bent their bows and set arrows, announcing that the arrows would hit the ground.
Eighty thousand Dong Zhuojun watched helplessly as a rocket pierced the sky and landed on the firewood pile at the entrance of the valley. Suddenly, a fire dragon burst into flames, and the exit was sealed by the raging fire, sealing it tightly.
At this moment, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded on the surrounding high cliffs, and then Dong Zhuo's army heard a burst of earth-shattering shouts. Countless Zuo Army soldiers appeared on the surrounding high cliffs, everyone with their bows drawn and ready to go.
Dong Zhuo's army was panicked, and the 100,000-strong army suddenly became commotion. Many people wanted to escape, but the entrance of the valley was sealed by flames, and there was no way to escape. Many of Dong Zhuo's soldiers already showed desperate looks.
Although Zuo Jiajun surrounded Dong Zhuo's army, they did not launch an attack immediately. Just when all Dong Zhuo's soldiers were feeling uneasy, Zuo Aoran, the spiritual leader of Zuo Jiajun, the Prince-in-law of the current Dynasty, Shuanghou, Pingman Marshal
Appearing in a conspicuous position on a high cliff, following Zuo Aoran were the silly and loyal brothers Luo Shixin and Ma Qian He Yi, Ma Qian He Man and the current chief strategist of the Zuo Family Army, Tian Toyota Yuan.
Hao.
Zuo Aoran glanced at the panicked Dong Zhuojun, and then shouted down the cliff: "Soldiers of Dong Zhuojun, listen, I am Zuo Aoran, the Pingman Marshal of the current dynasty. This time I have received a secret order to lead my army to attack the rebels.
Dong Zhuo, I know that the vast majority of you are not willing to follow Dong Zhuo in this treasonous act. As long as you lay down your arms and surrender, I can guarantee your safety! Now I will give you a stick of incense to think about it before it is too late!"
