Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight will be counted 2
Boom boom boom!!!
The roaring sound like thunder kept coming from far away, from far to near.
When Sun Jian and others heard the rumbling sound, their expressions changed instantly. They all knew the sound of the cavalry running at this time.
Especially this one made such a loud rumbling sound. Based on their experience, this group of cavalry should number in the thousands or even tens of thousands.
The alliance's army rarely has such a large-scale cavalry, and only Gongsun Zan, the white-horse general who rampaged outside the Great Wall, has it. But Sun Jian knew that the other party would not come at this time.
So Sun Jian and the others soon understood that this cavalry was definitely not their reinforcements. Since it was not theirs, it was obviously the only reinforcements coming from Sishui Pass.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian and the others' faces became even more ugly.
Especially when thinking of Hua Xiong's disdainful expression before, Sun Jian and the others suddenly understood that it was not their plan that succeeded, but Hua Xiong and the others who took the bait deliberately.
"No, my lord, if we are charged by this group of cavalry and join forces with that Hua Xiong, we will be in danger."
"I don't know if the Prime Minister of Jibei can block the impact of this cavalry."
Cheng Pu and other veteran generals who followed Sun Jian were of course experienced people. Maybe they didn't have the brains of those counselors, but they could still clearly see the crisis in front of them.
Once the army of the Prime Minister of Jibei, which originally blocked Hua Xiong's retreat, could not stop the approaching cavalry, then this cavalry combined with Hua Xiong's army would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"General, what should we do now?" Huang Gai and the others were also anxious.
"General, why don't we withdraw!"
Suddenly Cheng Pu said something sinister, and Han Dang and the others all looked at him in disbelief, because they all understood that once they withdrew, the 50,000-strong army of the Prime Minister of Jibei would definitely be dead or alive.
It's alive.
Han Dang and the others never expected that Cheng Pu, who had been with them for so long and had always been loyal, would even think of abandoning friendly forces.
"General, if we don't withdraw, our army will be in danger by then." Seeing Sun Jian's silence, Cheng Peng became anxious. At this moment, he simply couldn't care less about the looks his old friends were looking at him.
At this moment, the life and death of Jiangdong's elite, who numbered more than 20,000 and less than 30,000, all depended on Sun Jian's decision.
Although the soldiers from Jiangdong are all elite, they all know that they are definitely no match for the cavalry from Xiliang.
Once they fight hard, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. These days, they have lost tens of thousands of troops attacking Sishui Pass.
If the remaining more than 20,000 Jiangdong elites are consumed here, it will definitely be a big blow to them.
You must know that Sun Jian is not without enemies in Jiangdong. Once their enemies see that he is weak, they will be in danger.
Therefore, Cheng Pu had no choice but to be ruthless. Besides, the life and death of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin had nothing to do with them.
This is what Cheng Pu is thinking now. He just wants to keep more than 20,000 elite men.
"Lord, don't hesitate. If you don't make a decision, once Hua Xiong sees it, even if we want to leave, we will have to pay more."
Seeing that Sun Jian was still silent, Cheng Pu was even more anxious. Of course he understood why Sun Jian had not replied for so long. After all, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin was also his ally and attacked Sishui Pass with him.
Originally there was no such danger. But Sun Jian came up with such a strategy and discussed it with the other party.
As a result, the other party was very straightforward and generous, and agreed without thinking. He came to cooperate happily. But now that he was in danger, he immediately abandoned the other party and left.
This practice, once known to others, will definitely be despised.
"De Mou, please stop talking. I can't just abandon Yuncheng and leave. That would make me less of a human being."
"And if I want to leave, I have to take Yuncheng with me."
Sun Jian thought for a long time, and finally his eyes were fixed. After all, he still could not calm down. Then Sun Jian suddenly raised the ancient ingot knife in his hand, and suddenly shouted to the sky: "Disciples of Jiangdong, Dong Thief has no superior.
** Palace, the crime is serious and worthy of punishment. We have been secretly ordered by His Majesty to come to attack the rebels."
"The people standing in front of you now are the minions of Thief Dong. Facing them, what should you do?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The army of more than 20,000 people suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, and the sound tore through the entire Sun Jian's camp.
"Huh! He actually wants to fight for his life." Hua Xiong narrowed his eyes when he saw Sun Jian's actions, then suddenly raised his sword and roared: "Brothers, did you hear it? That is our reinforcements. Now that the reinforcements have arrived,
, it’s time to show your bloodthirst.”
"Tonight, just follow my lead and kill me to your heart's content."
"Kill as fast as you can~"
Of course, these Xiliang troops were not content to lag behind, and they immediately started roaring.
Seeing that the morale of the army on his side was commendable, Hua Xiong suddenly smiled, then pulled the reins of his horse, raised his sword and slashed forward, said "kill!" fiercely, and immediately took the lead and rushed towards Sun Jian.
's army.
The five thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him all had bloodthirsty smiles on their faces, and rushed forward with him.
Suddenly a torrent rushed over.
Sun Jian's and Hua Xiong's armies immediately came into contact and started fighting fiercely.
On the other side, Xiao Ziyu led 10,000 cavalry and charged towards Bao Xin's 50,000 army.
Facing Xiao Ziyu's 10,000 cavalry, Bao Xin was not as courageous as Sun Jian. Although he had an army of 50,000, he did not feel the slightest sense of security at this moment.
He knew what his army looked like. This time he came to join the Jujube Alliance and attack Dong Zhuo together, but he was just showing up.
The 50,000 troops he brought were all patchy and did not have much combat effectiveness at all. After all, his idea was just to get by.
He felt good about Sun Jian's plan when he heard it before. After all, he only came to block the enemy's retreat. With his 50,000-strong army, even a ragtag group of people could still do this small thing.
He felt very relaxed, so he readily agreed.
But now Bao Xin is extremely regretful at this moment. Even at this moment, he is constantly cursing Sun Jian in his heart.
If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in such danger.
Even if he goes to attack Sishui Pass, it will definitely be easier than now. After all, in attacking Sishui Pass, he can do more work but not any effort.
Anyway, Yuan Shao and the others did not clearly stipulate that they must capture Sishui Pass.
Bao Xin, who cursed for a while, finally came to his senses. Now that it had happened, even if he cursed the other party again, it would be useless.
"Lord, what should we do now? Why don't we withdraw now?"
The counselor beside him saw that Bao Xin seemed to have lost some of his anger, and then stepped forward and said something cautiously.
"Withdraw? Go to hell, withdraw now and see." Upon hearing the counselor's suggestion, Bao Xin's veins suddenly swelled in his forehead.
Although he does nothing, he is still a prince, and he still knows some things.
The enemy's cavalry is no less than ten thousand. If they retreat at this time, the final result will be that they will be killed by the enemy's cavalry.
There is still a slim chance of survival for those who stay and resist. If they want to evacuate, they have two routes of foot soldiers and can outrun those war horses.
So as soon as Bao Xin heard the counselor's suggestion, he immediately kicked him away.
