Chapter 53 Killing Huaxiong and breaking through the barrier
After fighting for ten rounds, Hua Xiong shouted, and with a flash of his sword, he was about to cut off Han Dang's neck.
boom!
If Han Dang blocks from the left and right, he will be unable to resist.
When Sun Jian saw this scene, he immediately roared angrily, urged his war horse to hold a long sword, and came to kill him. The light of the sword split the sky and covered the earth, and accurately blocked Hua Xiong's offensive.
"Yi Gong, please step back first, and I will kill this thief!"
Sun Jian roared loudly and flashed the sword in his hand with such ferocity that he suppressed Hua Xiong's momentum. Han Dang glanced at Hua Xiong angrily, pulled the reins and retreated into the army.
Hua Xiong laughed loudly, and fought with Sun Jian in an awe-inspiring manner.
At the moment of the battle, Liu Xiu was vigilant and ready to rescue at any time. Sun Jian was too reckless and charged directly in front. Victory was just a victory. However, if he died in battle and was killed by Hua Xiong, it would be a tragedy.
"Go to hell!"
Hua Xiong roared, activated his secret technique, and immediately connected with the five thousand cavalry behind him. With the blessing of the military formation, his strength suddenly doubled. His long sword flashed like thunder and lightning, and he slashed and killed.
Come, the eight-foot-long sword strikes at Sun Jian's head.
Sun Jian waved his hand and threw out a bamboo slip. The bamboo slip was simple and had ancient seal characters on it, standing above his head.
Xi Zhicai saw this scene and exclaimed in shock: "This...is this the power left by the extraordinary, golden elixir general?"
"Golden Core General!"
Liu Xiu said in surprise.
According to legend, Xiang Yu is a golden elixir general and the most powerful general in the world. He relied on his tyrannical strength to charge thousands of troops and defeated Liu Bang many times. Even Han Xin was far inferior. In the end, Han Xin relied on the power of a million troops to defeat Liu Bang.
Xiang Yu.
Xun Yu said: "It is said that Sun Jian is a descendant of the military sage Sun Wu, and it seems to be true. This bamboo slip was left by Sun Wu and contains the power of Sun Wu's golden elixir. It is only used once, not once! Not long after, it was transformed into
It’s just an ordinary bamboo slip!”
Bang bang bang!
Hua Xiong's long sword flashed and came for a kill. It was extremely powerful, but was blocked by the Bamboo Slips of the Soldier Saint.
Stacking military formations can increase the strength of generals, but after one blow, they will fall into a period of weakness.
The attack failed, and Hua Xiong's breath suddenly dropped by as much as two levels.
"Thief, go to hell!" Sun Jian's spirit was shaken, his sword flashed, and his secret skills were superimposed, and he immediately killed Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was defeated and was cut into two pieces with one sword, and died on the spot.
kill!
Hu Zhen drew out his long sword and beheaded Sun Jian.
After beheading Hua Xiong, Sun Jian's breath dropped and he lost a lot of money, so he rode away.
Liu Xiu took out the armor-piercing arrows, drew his strong bow into a full moon shape, attached his true energy to the armor-piercing arrows, and shot them in succession.
He arrived in front of Hu Zhen in an instant.
Hu Zhen's long sword flashed and he fired five arrows, but was shot through the body by the sixth arrow.
Poof!
Hu Zhen looked dull. He subconsciously looked at his chest and fell down on his horse.
"kill!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and led the army to charge away. Five thousand Xiliang cavalry were defeated and fled towards Sishui Pass. The city gate was not closed in time, so the army rushed into it. After a bloody battle, they occupied Sishui Pass.
Standing on the city wall, Liu Xiu and Sun Jian looked at each other with a look of luck.
If the generals had not failed in the battle, if generals had been killed in succession, and if there was no time to close the city gate, victory might not have been easy.
"Go and report the victory, we have already taken down Sishui Pass!" Sun Jian said.
…………
"My lord, Commander Liu, the harvest from this battle is huge! There are countless spears, shields, long bows, etc.; there is also a lot of food and grass, enough to support an army of 50,000 for three months!"
Sun Jian and Liu Xiu sat at the top, while the civil and military generals from both sides stood on either side. Listening to the capture report, they couldn't help but shine.
Food and grass are the foundation. Food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are used.
Dong Zhuo's original plan was to have Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong and others defend Sishui Pass for three months, preventing the Kwantung Allied Forces from taking an inch forward. However, the Kwantung Allied Forces had many horses and horses, and suffered a large loss of food and grass. After three months, they would inevitably run out of food and grass and retreat.
It's not too late to pursue him then.
But Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong and others rushed out of the pass to fight. Not only were their lives at risk, they also lost the Sishui Pass.
Then, the two divided the spoils.
Most of the food and grass were given to Sun Jian, and Liu Xiu asked for spears, shields and other equipment, and each took what he needed. Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Jian was short of food; and Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others also
Extremely satisfied, the Jiujiang army did not lack food, but it lacked ordnance.
I felt a sense of gratitude towards Liu Xiu in my heart. Only when there was a shortage of food did I realize the preciousness of food and grass.
Then came the carving up of the cavalry.
For the Xiliang cavalry, there is no sense of loyalty, and working for whomever they work for is not work. Both Sun Jian and Liu Xiu lack war horses, especially cavalry. War horses can be purchased, but cavalry cannot.
.
In the future battle to the north, cavalry will be the key.
The cavalry was divided, with Sun Jian occupying the sixth floor and Liu Xiu occupying the fourth floor. As for the infantry, Liu Xiu had slightly more.
When news came that Sun Jian and Liu Xiu had conquered Sishui Pass, many princes were shocked and even felt jealous.
At this time, the world's attention fell on the battle between the Allied forces and Dong Zhuo. This battle had a bearing on the general trend of the world. If Yuan Shaoneng could lead the coalition forces to invade Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, the family headed by the Yuan family in Runan would officially dominate the world and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.
If Dong Zhuo wins, he will continue to control the world.
In the Battle of Sishui Pass, Sun Jian and Liu Xiu performed brilliantly and enhanced their sense of presence.
"Speed up the march. If Sun and Liu break through the tiger prison again, what will happen to me?"
"If Sishui and Hulao were destroyed by Sun Liu, how could I see His Majesty?"
"I didn't expect Thief Dong to be so famous but so vulnerable. The Sishui Pass was broken in less than a month. I really overestimated him!"
Immediately the Allied forces accelerated and the army moved forward.
…………
Luoyang Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the main hall of the mansion, sitting at the head was a slightly short but heroic man, it was Dong Zhuo.
On both sides of him, more than a dozen civil servants bowed their heads and said nothing, except for a heroic man on the left, wearing a battle armor and looking very powerful.
"Hua Xiong went into battle rashly, resulting in the loss of Sishui Pass!" Below the hall, some ragged captains knelt on the ground and reported.
Dong Zhuo frowned and said: "Hu Zhen, it is not a pity that Hua Xiong died. It is a pity that Sishui Pass was lost. If the tiger prison is broken again, Luoyang will be in danger!"
"Please also ask the Prime Minister to send generals to guard as soon as possible to resist the Kwantung princes!" Li Ru said.
The heroic man on the left stood up and said: "Father, I am willing to go to Hulao to resist the princes of Guandong and share the worries of my foster father!"
This person is none other than Lü Fengxian, one of Lü Bu's men. As long as he can defend Hulao, defeat the princes in Guanzhong, and perform great feats, his status can rise again.
Li Ru remained silent and said nothing.
Dong Zhuo thought: "The hundreds of thousands of troops from the Kwantung princes have an amazing momentum. Now that they have broken through Sishui Pass, their momentum is even greater. I want to personally guard Hulao, so I will follow you first!!"
"Lord, if we leave Luoyang and go to Hulao, I'm afraid those aristocratic families in Luoyang City will cause trouble in the rear!" Before Lu Bu could express his stance, Li Jue stepped forward and said.
Li Ru said with a smile: "We want them to cause chaos. If they don't cause chaos, how can we destroy them? I'll be out of nowhere!"
The hearts of all the civil and military personnel in the hall trembled, as if they had some realization.
