Chapter 109 Xu Rong's analysis of the military situation is straightforward, but his face hurts badl
"Captain Liu shouldn't be making such a big fuss!
The enemy troops outside the pass were originally disorganized due to the newly arrived reinforcements, and their vigilance was greatly reduced.
If Governor Liu quietly gathered troops inside the pass, then opened the gate and suddenly rushed out, he would definitely be able to catch these people off guard and gain the upper hand in the war!
Now, such a grand gathering of generals and troops by beating drums has alerted these traitor soldiers and made them prepare in advance.
The thief general who had brought troops earlier was very cunning and built a camp directly blocking all roads.
The walls of the village are also very strong.
At this time, many soldiers and horses were mobilized to defend the camp, which was very fast.
Fang Yue, who was behind, also ordered his troops and horses at this time and headed towards the front, preparing to help Pan Feng fight in the front and deal with the emperor's uncle together..."
At the Sishui Pass, a general who followed Dong Zhuo next to Dong Zhuo looked at the front of the Sishui Pass. After the drums of the civil war in the pass sounded, Pan Feng's camp instantly became nervous, and a large number of soldiers and horses immediately took action, shaking their heads.
, said it was a pity.
I sighed endlessly for Liu Cheng's reckless decision.
"Does the general Zhonglang think it is difficult for Kede to win this battle?"
Dong Zhuo, who was beside him, turned to look at Xu Rong after hearing this.
This general is Xu Rong.
Dong Zhuo left Luoyang and came here, so naturally it was impossible for him to come alone.
In addition, he is also planning to use this matter to set a trap for those restless guys in Luoyang and fish out those good people who usually hide.
Therefore, you must bring elite soldiers and strong generals.
The last time Dong Zhuo left Luoyang and went to Hulao Pass, he brought Lu Bu with him. This time, he brought out Xu Rong, his lieutenant who held the real power.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo did a good job in balancing the relationship between the main generals under his command and taking care of their emotions.
At the very least, you are paying attention.
"That's not to say that we can't win. After all, Governor Liu has amazing martial arts skills, and most of the soldiers and horses in the pass are elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield. Even if the opponent is already on guard, if he leads the soldiers and horses to charge for a while, he should be able to win.
field.
However, the loss of troops and horses itself should be considerable, and it is impossible to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
If the enemy army cannot be defeated, and the enemy has such a camp, then such a victory cannot be considered big..."
Xu Rong responded and analyzed slowly.
In fact, what Xu Rong said was quite polite.
In his opinion, Liu Cheng's move was simply stupid!
The kind of stupid person!
Just to show off in front of the Prime Minister, he even ignored the lives of his soldiers!
However, what Liu Cheng thought was too simple.
If you want to stand out in front of the Prime Minister and win the favor of the Prime Minister, you can't just rely on these fancy things.
As a person who often leads troops to fight, how could the Prime Minister care about these things?
What he cares about is how many enemy troops were killed in this battle, what effect it played, and how much damage he suffered on his side. These are all real things.
To put it bluntly, Liu Cheng is still young and has little war experience. He relied on good luck to win some battles before, but now he has started to act recklessly...
These are the real thoughts in Xu Rong's heart.
Moreover, in his heart, he was already prepared to see Liu Cheng's jokes.
The reason why I didn't express these thoughts in my heart exactly.
On the one hand, this is because this is Sishui Pass after all, and Liu Chengnai is the chief general here, surrounded by his soldiers, so he still has to save some face.
Of course, what's more important is that Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, who seemed extremely unreliable in this battle, actually mastered such a miraculous healing method!
We are all leaders, so we naturally know how rare and attractive a treatment method with such an effect is!
General Xu Rongzhonglang led many soldiers and horses. After hearing the news from Dong Zhuo on the way here, it was impossible not to be moved.
This time, he happened to come with the Prime Minister. If possible, he naturally wanted to get such a valuable method to his subordinates first.
Because he still wanted Liu Cheng and Liu Kede later, Xu Rong's words were much gentler than what he thought in his heart.
Dong Zhuo looked outside the Sishui Pass, where Pan Feng and other soldiers were quickly preparing for battle, which was a certain distance away. He smiled and said, "Let's continue looking down.
Since Kede invited us to watch the battle at Sishui Pass, I guess he has his own ideas."
Hearing this, Xu Rong saluted Dong Zhuo and said nothing else. He stood here and watched the development of the battle with Dong Zhuo.
It's just that I still don't agree with Liu Cheng's actions...
Inside Sishui Pass, Liu Cheng had already prepared his troops and horses.
This time, in addition to him, the guard who was preparing to leave the pass in person, there were also people like Hua Xiong and Zhao Cen. Li Su was responsible for staying at Sishui Pass to defend here.
Beside Liu Cheng, except for a hundred personal soldiers, there were no two close generals of Liu Cheng, Liao Hua and Li Jin, nor the troops and horses they led.
"I won't say any more nonsense!
Today, the Prime Minister is sitting at Sishui Pass watching the battle. How many rewards we will receive and how high we will be promoted will depend on our performance!
Open and close the door! Meet the enemy!"
Liu Cheng said loudly to the ten thousand soldiers who were about to send troops with him to fight.
Then, we went to Sishui Pass and closed the door.
Amidst the roaring of war drums, the heavy Sishui Pass door was slowly opened.
Liu Cheng and the soldiers led by Liu Cheng walked out of Sishui Pass and walked towards the land soaked in blood, preparing for another battle.
This time, the formation was somewhat unconventional.
At the front were eight thousand infantry, followed by two thousand cavalry.
Not far after leaving Sishui Pass, two thousand cavalry stopped, and eight thousand soldiers formed a military formation and advanced towards the enemy in front.
While walking, the drums were beating continuously, and the sound was extremely loud!
Although Pan Feng Fangyue, a so-called famous general and a so-called general, had led troops to fight in the past, but such a large-scale battle, and faced with the successive defeats of the powerful armies of Bao Xin and Sun Jian, had never been done before.
When I saw the other side sending troops, I didn't think anything was wrong.
Now, when I see Liu Cheng and others sending troops, and seeing so many and majestic soldiers and horses, I will inevitably feel nervous.
So, without waiting for Pan Feng over there to hear any news, Fang Yue, who had already led some of his elite soldiers to the front, once again sent an order for another group of elite soldiers staying behind to go to Pan Feng's camp in front.
Get closer.
He is planning to join forces with Pan Feng here to kill the troops at Sishui Pass!
…
The soldiers and horses coming out of Sishui Pass did not play any tricks.
Within a suitable distance, after several waves of arrow fire at Pan Feng and Fang Yue's soldiers who relied on the camp to defend, except for the archers who kept throwing arrows towards Pan Feng's camp, the rest
The soldiers, under the orders of their respective officers, kept moving towards Pan Feng's camp in front.
The soldiers at Sishui Pass were basically all those who had been on the battlefield and had seen fighting. The soldiers of Pan Feng, Fangyue and others were mostly newly recruited, but few had experienced real battles.
Moreover, before setting off, Liu Chenggong had made it clear to these soldiers that Dong Zhuo, the most powerful man today, was sitting on the Sishui Pass to watch the battle and issued an order to attack with all his strength. Under such circumstances, the soldiers
Their morale is naturally extremely high!
When the two sides were having a verbal spat across a Sishui Pass before, they didn't think it was anything. But at this moment, as soon as the two sides came into contact and started to make contact, the feeling suddenly changed.
Soon, Pan Feng and others felt the difference in combat power between his soldiers and the soldiers who came out of Sishui Pass.
Even though he had a camp to rely on, he still felt a lot of pressure!
After fighting like this for a while, seeing the casualties on their side getting bigger and bigger, Fang Yue and Pan Feng gradually turned red and kept pushing their troops upwards.
The main force was concentrated on the front line, and they fought fiercely with the soldiers and horses led by Hua Xiong and others.
As for the rear, they are not worried.
On the one hand, it was because when Pan Feng came, he blocked the entire road going east by relying on the camp.
It is impossible for people from Sishui Pass to cross here quietly and run to the east.
On the other hand, Fang Yue and others led the army from the rear, and they were most at ease with the rear.
Originally, they still had some back-ups at the back.
Now that the soldiers at Sishui Pass were suppressing him like this, he didn't have much to worry about.
After all, among the soldiers displayed in front of Sishui Pass, in addition to the eight thousand infantry fighting, there are also two thousand cavalry who have been prepared but have not yet launched!
This is a very big threat and pressure for Pan Feng and Fang Yue.
Liu Cheng was riding on his horse, looking at the fighting in front of him without saying a word.
After the Sishui was closed, Dong Zhuo sat here, also silent.
Xu Rong, who was standing not far from Dong Zhuo, had a lot of things to say.
However, in the current atmosphere, it was hard for him to say anything. He could only hold it all in his stomach and say nothing.
After Pan Feng and Fang Yue invested a large number of troops here, the pressure brought by the infantry at Sishui Pass was immediately reduced a lot, which made them feel relieved a lot.
This situation lasted for about two quarters of an hour, and the battle was still in a stalemate and stalemate.
On the wall of Sishui Pass, Xu Rong, who couldn't hold back his words, was about to say something out loud. Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on a grand master's chair next to him, suddenly stood up!
Such a sudden move made Xu Rong jump, and frightened back all the words he was about to say.
He looked at Dong Xiangguo and found that Dong Xiangguo was looking toward the battlefield to the east, so he quickly turned his gaze to the east.
Then he knew why Dong Xiangguo, who had been sitting here quietly watching the battle, suddenly stood up!
Because there is dust flying further east of the battlefield, that is, behind Pan Feng's camp!
Xu Rong was also a man who often led troops to fight. At this time, when he saw the flying dust, how could he not know what the dust represented?
At this time, apart from Yuan Shao and other Kwantung coalition forces, there will be no other troops coming from that direction!
Xu Rong looked at the stalemate battle situation nearby, feeling a little anxious in his heart, but also a little bit incomprehensible joy.
"Prime Minister, do you want to withdraw your troops with gold?
The situation is now at a stalemate. If we wait until reinforcements from Pan Feng and other traitors arrive, I'm afraid the war will get worse...
...Although withdrawing troops at this time will cause some damage, the consequences are not that serious..."
After watching this for a while, Xu Rong spoke to Dong Zhuo eagerly.
Dong Zhuo didn't say anything immediately after hearing this. He stared at the dust in the distance for a while, then turned his gaze to Li Su not far away.
Li Su took a step forward and cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, these troops and horses that are coming are not the soldiers and horses of the thieves, but our own troops and horses!"
As Li Su spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Rong not far away.
"After defeating Sun Jian last time, the governor had already expected that there would be thieves coming to attack Sishui Pass again, so he prepared backup plans in advance.
The emperor's uncle's headquarters quietly left Sishui Pass under the cover of night and quietly hid further away, waiting for the enemy to attack here.
Just wait until the drums are beating loudly at Sishui Pass and a red flag is raised, then you will rush out from your hiding place and go straight into the enemy's rear!"
As he spoke, Li Su also pointed to a place farther back on the side of Sishui Pass.
Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong and others looked in the direction of Li Su's finger, and sure enough they saw a red flag raised high there at some point!
Dong Zhuo showed a smile on his face:
"Kede really has a good way of using troops. He beat drums inside the pass to gather troops and then attacked desperately after leaving the pass. He just wanted to use this method to mobilize all the enemies outside.
, let them focus as much as possible on the front, attracting the enemy's elite troops to the front, leaving the back empty, so as to create opportunities for ambushing surprise troops?"
Li Su bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "The prime minister of the country has a clear lesson."
After saying this, Li Su couldn't help but look at Xu Rong again.
Even though Xu Rong had already developed his shamelessness, he couldn't help but blush when he felt Li Su's gaze.
I want to say something out loud, but in this situation, I can't say a word.
He could only pretend not to see Li Su's gaze and try his best to focus on the battlefield to cover up his embarrassment and facial pain...
At this time, Liao Hua, who was leading the way, had already led the troops behind him and rushed into people's sight.
Then without slowing down, he charged towards Fang Yue's rear army who was panicking because of their sudden appearance!
Li Jin also led his troops to charge.
He had already transferred all of Fang Yue's elite troops to the front.
Together with him, relying on Pan Feng's camp, they resisted the fierce attack of the soldiers at Sishui Pass. Those who stayed behind were the new soldiers and the old and weak.
How could they withstand the fierce charge of Liu Cheng's troops led by Liao Hua and Li Jin?
