Chapter 96: Before the Sishui Pass, the Jiangdong Tigers are beginning to show their power (Chapter
Han Cheng's purpose is simple to say.
As early as later generations, Liu Cheng knew what the consequences would be if Hu Zhen, a general of Hua Xiong's tribe, faced off against Sun Jian.
He came over at this time and offered such kind words of persuasion, of course not to stop Hu Zhen from sending troops, so as to preserve these troops and avoid defeat.
It was to make Hua Xiong's generals deeply aware of their military talents through the divine predictions made before the war.
Let them realize through such living examples that in addition to their extraordinary martial arts skills, they are also very good at leading troops in combat.
In this way, he can change his image in the minds of these soldiers.
Liu Cheng knew that his success was too short, his foundation was weak, and he had no prestige in the army.
After all, the most valuable thing about people is self-awareness.
What Liu Cheng did just now was a means for Liu Cheng to enhance his prestige among Dong Zhuo's army.
Liu Chengdu wants the people's morale and the military's morale, and he is doing his best to do such things.
As for these things, are they of any use...
Historical experience tells Liu Cheng that it will definitely be useful.
You will see results in a short period of time, and it is unlikely that you will get any benefits from it. If you do it for a long time, you will always get rewards.
As for whether Hua Xiong and others would cancel this military operation after hearing his sincere suggestion, judging from Liu Cheng's contact with Hua Xiong in the past two days, it is basically impossible.
happened.
Moreover, the greatest possibility is that the more you say you can't do it, the more they will do it.
In fact, the result was just as Liu Cheng thought.
After his sincere suggestions, Hu Zhen sent out troops more quickly and became more determined.
Of course, if Liu Cheng's idea was overturned and Hua Xiong and others did not follow common sense and really followed his advice and stopped sending troops to attack Sun Jian, then it would not matter. There would be no loss for him.
.
Liu Cheng likes to do this kind of business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.
The heavy gate of Sishui Pass slowly opened, and a neatly dressed Hu Zhen, riding on a horse with a helmet on his head, came out first!
The troops behind are like a tide!
After riding a horse and leading the people about fifty steps forward, Hu Zhen, who was on horseback, turned his head and looked towards Sishui Pass, and quickly found Liu Cheng's location.
He stretched out his hand towards Liu Cheng and raised the gun in his hand, making a provocative gesture, which was very arrogant.
Liu Cheng shook his head when he saw this scene.
The amplitude was so large that even Hu Zhen, who was on a closed horse, could see clearly.
Such a scene fell into Hu Zhen's eyes, making Hu Zhen sneer.
He turned his head, no longer looking at the ignorant boy in Guan Guan, pointed the spear in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill!"
Then he rode his horse forward quickly!
The thousand cavalrymen who followed behind also rode their horses to keep up.
As for the two thousand infantrymen who followed, they also formed a formation, sped up their speed, and followed behind, heading towards Sun Jian's camp.
"Lord, can Sun Jian really defeat Hu Zhen?"
Next to Liu Cheng, he looked at Hu Zhen leading many soldiers and horses to run, and the momentum he brought out, and then stared into the distance, he had obviously discovered that troops had been dispatched here, and then Sun Jian's camp became even more chaotic.
I couldn't help but ask aloud.
Liu Cheng, who was also looking at the battlefield, nodded without thinking too much: "If Sun Wentai can't defeat someone like Hu Zhen, then he will be sorry for his reputation as the Tiger of Jiangdong!"
As soon as Liu Cheng finished speaking, something happened in Sun Jian's camp in the distance.
Three troops and horses rushed out from behind the camp, out of sight of Sishui Pass!
He rushed towards Hu Zhen and others who were approaching the camp that Sun Jian was building.
One group of soldiers and horses came forward, and two groups, one on the left and one on the right, inserted themselves into the middle of the army!
The three armies were not that large in number, they looked like they only had 1,400 or 500 people in total, but it was obvious that they were all elite soldiers.
The seemingly chaotic troops who were setting up camp there, after the three ambush troops rushed out, and under the shouts of the generals wearing red turbans and armors, began to gather together and organize.
Military formation...
On the battlefield, Hu Zhen, who galloped out with his men on horseback, was full of achievements, and then used facts to teach that boy who didn't know how high the sky was and how to be a low-key man. He saw these three troops running wildly from behind Sun Jian's camp.
After the soldiers and horses came out, my heart skipped a beat.
The first thought that came to his mind was that he actually got that damn boy right!
Sun Jian, who had just led his troops here not long ago and hadn't even set up camp yet, was really well prepared!
But he had already led the troops to kill him, and now that things had come to this point, he couldn't even regret it!
He could only grit his teeth secretly, roar out loud, and let the soldiers and horses he led follow him to fight hard!
Before the two sides engaged in battle, some feather arrows were shot from their respective camps, harvesting the troops of both sides.
In this first wave of confrontation, the troops led by Hu Zhen had a greater advantage.
After all, the soldiers and horses he led were mostly veterans of Xiliang, and they were more good at riding and shooting. There were more people who could shoot bows and arrows while the horses were galloping than Sun Jian's men.
However, this advantage only ends here!
Because the distance between the two sides had been quickly shortened, and they collided with each other the next moment, they had no chance to fire their bows a second time!
The two galloping soldiers and horses collided together, and amidst the screams, there was a shower of blood immediately...
…
On the right, Cheng Pu and Cheng Demou, a native of Peiping, hold an iron-spine snake spear in their hand and wave it continuously.
Every time he attacks, he can knock one of Hu Zhen's men off his horse!
Under the current circumstances, falling off the horse is actually not much different from death.
During the fight, Cheng Pu saw Hu Zhen who was fighting with a gun not far away. Without any hesitation, he immediately went to kill Hu Zhen.
At this time, Hu Zhen also saw Cheng Pu.
Dang even abandoned the others and came to kill Cheng Pu.
Because he knows that in the current situation, if he wants to quickly reverse the situation, the best way is to quickly kill some enemy generals. Through this method, he can frighten the enemy!
"kill!"
Hu Zhen roared loudly and took the lead in stabbing Cheng Pu with his spear, hoping to strike first!
This time, he really doesn’t want to lose!
Because that damn boy up there is still watching! I still want to slap him in the face with facts and teach him how to behave!
If he were defeated and he went back with his troops and horses like this, he wouldn't know how high his tail would be!
Hu Zhen soon no longer had to worry about such a thing, because at the next moment, Cheng Pu, who had dodged his shot, suddenly thrust out the iron-spine snake spear in his hand, stabbed him in the throat, and tore his neck.
All pierced!
Hu Zhen's eyes suddenly widened at this moment, full of disbelief.
Cheng Pu didn't care what he was thinking. With a strong force of his hands, he knocked Hu Zhen off the horse.
Hu Zhen's soldiers around him saw this and rushed forward with red eyes, trying to kill Cheng Pu or snatch Hu Zhen's body back.
However, they were driven back by Cheng Pu and Cheng Pu's personal soldiers.
One of Cheng Pu's soldiers also stabbed to death the soldier carrying Hu Zhen's banner. After the soldier died, the general's flag marking Hu Zhen's identity fell to the ground!
At this time, Cheng Pu had already taken Hu Zhen's head from the hands of the soldiers who jumped down and cut off Hu Zhen's head.
He immediately raised it high with one hand and shouted loudly: "The thief general has been killed by a certain family, why don't you surrender quickly?!"
Cheng Pu's soldiers all followed Cheng Pu and shouted this in unison.
For a moment, all the attention on the battlefield was attracted.
Hearing the shouts of Cheng Pu and others, the people led by Hu Zhen hurriedly looked for Hu Zhen's flag, but found that the flag was no longer there.
Hearing the shouts of Cheng Pu's people again and seeing the head in Cheng Pu's hand, he suddenly became panicked.
Hu Zhen's tribe, which was originally at a disadvantage when Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang led their troops to charge, suddenly fell into greater passivity...
At this time, Sun Jian had also organized his soldiers and led them towards the battlefield where the victory had been decided, forcing Hu Zhen's soldiers to go to Sishui Pass...
At the Sishui Pass, when Hua Xiong saw the ambush rushing out from behind Sun Jian's camp, his heart sank and his expression became solemn.
When the general's flag belonging to Hu Zhen disappeared in the military formation, Hua Xiong's heart sank to the bottom!
"Captain, do you want to switch and send troops to rescue?"
As soon as they discovered the ambush, someone asked Hua Xiong this question.
Hua Xiong firmly grasped the handle of the knife at his waist, stared at the battlefield, and then shook his head...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone at Sishui Pass, Sun Jian, wearing a red turban, led his powerful generals and elite soldiers to slaughter and drive them all the way to Sishui Pass.
Moreover, there were some Sun Jian's soldiers and horses mixed in, hoping to take advantage of the situation and attack Sishui Pass.
The soldiers who had returned from the defeat shouted loudly to the people who had closed the door, begging the people behind the door to save them for the sake of their fellow soldiers.
But, this is obviously impossible.
"Fire arrows! Get ready to roll logs and rocks!"
"Send the order, the door must not be opened! If it is opened, we will all be punished with death! Whoever dares to open it will die! The nine tribes will be punished!"
Hua Xiong's eyes were red and he barked out orders.
"Commander! Tell the defeated soldiers below that the door will never be opened! If you want to survive, turn around and kill the enemy with all your strength! Fight your way out!
The soldiers and horses of Xiliang cannot be so cowardly!"
Immediately, there were loud messengers, shouting loudly at the bottom, conveying Hua Xiong's order.
As the order was issued, the desperate cries of the soldiers could be heard below.
In desperation, some people roared and launched a death charge towards Sun Jian and others...
The water was closed, and the atmosphere was extremely silent...
…
The battle lasted for nearly two hours before it was finally over.
Hu Zhen and the soldiers and horses who followed Hu Zhen out of the pass did not return. Sun Jian and others tried to rush through the Sishui Pass. Seeing that the defense at the Sishui Pass was extremely strong, they slowly led some surrendered soldiers.
's returned.
Before leaving, he also threw Hu Zhen's flag on the ground, stepped on it with his foot in front of the guards, and some soldiers peed directly...
Looking at the mess outside the pass, Hua Xiong's eyes were red.
It was at this time that an envoy from Luoyang came with Dong Zhuo's commendation.
Hua Xiong was rewarded with a lot of gold, silver and silk, and he was given the title of Captain!
This is a reward for Hua Xiong who defeated Bao Xin and killed Bao Zhong a few days ago.
Originally, Hua Xiong would have been particularly happy to receive such an award.
But now, having just experienced a defeat, losing three thousand soldiers and horses, and having a beloved general like Hu Zhen, he couldn't be happy when facing such a reward.
"Take all these awards back to the Prime Minister and say that I, Hua Xiong, do not deserve these awards!"
Hua Xiong's eyes turned red and he hissed.
The messenger already knew at this time what had happened here not long ago.
After hearing Hua Xiong's words, I didn't know what to do for a while.
"Gong is merit, fault is fault, the two cannot be confused. It is better for the Chinese captain to accept this award first. As for the situation of the battle here, let the envoy inform the Prime Minister and let the Prime Minister make a decision..."
A voice sounded from far to near at this time, it was Liu Cheng.
The faces of Hua Xiong and Hua Xiong's generals could not help but sink...
