Hearing that the Huns had rebelled and that Xu Rong had also entered Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo was shocked at first, and then said in frustration: "Wen You, the matter has come to this, what should we do?"
Li Ru sighed and said: "I have three strategies, upper, middle and lower, for your lord to choose from."
Dong Chong was stunned for a moment and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Rudao: "The best policy is to surrender to Liangzhou Mu Shijun Chen Wenzheng. Chen Wenzheng is broad-minded and courageous. If the lord surrenders as Bingzhou Mu, it will greatly increase his prestige. He will definitely not be in trouble with the lord."
Dong Zhuo pondered for a while and asked without answering, "What are the middle and worst strategies?"
Li Rudao: "The middle strategy is to rush to Linjin at full speed, gather troops and horses along the way, and then cross the Yellow River to seize the territory of Baibo Army's troops and horses, and then compete with Xu Rong!"
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still noncommittal, he continued: "The next best idea is to bypass Tongguan and go to He Jin. He Jin is now at the end of his rope, and the generals and soldiers under his command are panicked. If the lord can win over the generals of the North and South armies, he may be able to die."
I am here to seek survival. My three strategies are all listed here. I hope my lord will detail them!"
Dong Zhuo suddenly fell silent after hearing Li Ru's three points of attention. After a while, he said while everyone was watching eagerly: "Both the best and worst strategies are to leave life and death in the hands of others. How can I, Dong Zhongying, be a hero?"
Is this possible? It’s better to choose a strategy.”
Li Ru sighed in his heart, why would Zhongce leave his life and death in the hands of others? He steeled himself, pretending to be happy on his face, and said: "In that case, let's rush to Linjin."
He said to the soldiers who had just arrived: "Come out with a few horses to help the lord and the generals!"
More than a dozen cavalrymen jumped off their horses and then helped Dong Zhuo onto his horses. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Suddenly, someone shouted: "The enemy general is catching up!"
Dong Zhuo, who had just sat firmly on the horse, turned around and looked to the west. At the end of his field of vision, a fiery red war horse seemed to be running slowly but really fast. The horse and the knight on the horse were both interested.
His posture was leisurely, as if he was not on a life-and-death battlefield, but strolling in a courtyard.
As soon as Dong Zhuo saw the fiery red divine steed Pegasus, his pupils couldn't help but tighten. His heart beat faster and he blurted out: "Why did Thief Chen come so fast? Why are there no other soldiers around him?"
The surrounding soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Dong Zhuo's heart beat faster. He seemed to be talking to himself and to the soldiers beside him, "Chen Thief is chasing us."
He must be very tired after such a long time. He doesn’t know that we have reinforcements coming, if we can take this opportunity to kill him..."
The general on the side understood what Dong Zhuo meant and shouted: "I will take people to chop off his head right now!"
After that, he jumped on his horse and shouted: "Follow me!"
Hundreds of cavalry dispersed, stretching out a width of more than half a mile. The general raised his arms, waiting for an order to attack, but he felt dizzy for a while, and then fell off his horse. There was a burst of surprise from the side.
Phew, "Oops, the earth dragon is moving again!"
Li Ru had not mounted his horse just now, but he was not thrown off by the jumping horse. Seeing the scene in front of him, the fear that had been suppressed before suddenly surged into his heart. He shouted and said in a panic: "The demonic method, Thief Chen can use it."
Demonic magic! He caused an earthquake before, and now it’s happening again!"
Although the earthquake continued, Li Ru's words seemed to have some magic power, and the shouts of the surrounding soldiers stopped for a few seconds. After a while, the noise broke out with several times the intensity before, and there were cries and howls everywhere.
sound.
"Run quickly, the flying general knows magic, and he is the one who called Earth Dragon!"
"Run away, run away, the enemy has called the Earth Dragon out, and he will eat us all later!"
Several cracks opened in the ground, and a dozen panicked soldiers fell into it screaming. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and made Dong Zhuo's soldiers even more panicked. More than a thousand soldiers and horses were routed as a result.
There was no mention of killing the enemy generals.
In the distance, Chen Cheng had just seen Dong Zhuojun's large group of people. He was thinking of slowing down for a while and letting the people behind him catch up, but the ground began to shake again. He jumped off the horse and quietly
Waiting for this earthquake to pass. During the last earthquake, he was a little panicked and even had the idea of temporarily calling a truce.
It is really the power of heaven and earth that cannot be resisted by human beings. His power has gone beyond the scope of mortals and is more than ten times stronger than the strongest man on record. But let alone more than ten times stronger, even if it is several
Ten times, hundreds of times, what is it compared to the vastness of the world?
A few days later, something like this happened again. Although he was still frightened, he was not panicked. Chen Cheng tried his best to comfort Gulu. After waiting for a long time, this time the earthquake finally ended. He didn't know that this was an aftershock.
Counting it as another earthquake, he felt that it seemed to be more severe than the last earthquake. At least the last time it lasted did not last as long as this one, and it was not like this time, which tore open many holes in the earth.
He got on the horse again and looked around. Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses fled in all directions during the earthquake. What appeared on the small map were scattered red dots, making it difficult for him to figure out which one was the most powerful.
It was Dong Zhuo. With an attitude of giving it a try, he randomly picked a direction and quickly chased after him.
Then, he realized that his own face was not as white as he had imagined. After chasing for a long time, all he encountered were miscellaneous soldiers. Not to mention Dong Zhuo, he didn't even capture a few important generals. There were quite a few.
When the soldiers saw him catching up, they immediately threw away their weapons, knelt on both sides of the road, and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
A person's power is always limited. With this understanding, Chen Cheng waited for the following troops to catch up, captured all the prisoners, and then went straight to Linjin. In any case, Linjin is the gateway from Bingzhou to Guanzhong.
You have to get it first. If Dong Zhuo wants to return to Bingzhou, it is most convenient and fastest to go to Linjin.
When he rushed to Linjin with two thousand cavalry, he only saw the city gate wide open and the original defenders had disappeared. Many corpses were lying strewn on the street, and he saw another army of soldiers and horses opening up.
When he came over, the people who were collecting the corpses on the street immediately dispersed.
Chen Cheng sent soldiers and captured some people. After some questioning, they found out that Dong Zhuo's army had retreated and looted the city before leaving. After saying that, the people cried bitterly: "God damn Dong Zhuo."
, and captured all the women and young men in the city!"
In fact, Chen Cheng already knew that the enemy was retreating, but he didn't expect that the enemy would be so frantic and would do these things while escaping. Why did he take the prisoners with him? Do you think they ran too fast? If he led the troops to retreat, let alone
If you are a prisoner of war, you will only be able to carry a few days' worth of food and grass with you.
After listening to the people's cries, Chen Cheng asked Han Li to temporarily take charge of cleaning up the situation here on behalf of the local county magistrate. He himself led more than 200 cavalry and rushed towards the edge of the Yellow River. He thought it was just some broken troops, but there was no such thing.
I thought I had to wipe them all out, but since I didn't forget to loot before I left, I might as well not leave at all.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth. After fighting so many battles and killing so many people, his heart has become much harder, but he still can't get used to this kind of random robbery and massacre of people. In his opinion
, The strong should challenge the stronger, and only the weak will slash at the weaker.
But whether it was this world or other worlds, most of what he saw was that the strong bullied the weak wantonly, and rarely did the strong shake their fists at the stronger. Liangzhou is not a good place now, with all kinds of injustices
The phenomenon is everywhere, but at least no one dares to massacre people.
Gulu ran towards the east with some excitement. He had gone far enough, but for him, it was not far enough. He liked to run fast on the vast and boundless plains, just like he did now.
Liu Qian followed suit. She turned her head to look at Chen Cheng and saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth. The murderous look on his body was frightening, but it made her heart beat faster.
More than two hundred horsemen quickly rushed to the edge of the Yellow River. Dong Zhuo's army, which was waiting to cross the river, made a fuss. Some people dropped the women they had snatched, and fled north after beating their horses. Others were unwilling to give up what they had obtained.
The woman, the treasure, rushed forward with a loud shout.
They were waving their weapons and howling loudly, like hyenas on the grassland.
Chen Cheng took the lead, plucked the bowstring with his finger, and two arrows flew out, killing two enemy riders. Then, he put on the Fangtian Painted Halberd, and the huge crescent moon tore through the atmosphere, drawing a bright arc in the air.
Wire.
"Huh", Fang Tian's painted halberd weighing more than 40 kilograms was chopped down. The ring-shou knife and spear weighing no more than ten kilograms were simply unable to resist. Even if one could predict the attack route, he would only be hit by someone with weapons.
Knocking off the horse together. Sometimes, Fang Tian's painted halberd would even cut into pieces the human body behind it after cutting off the weapon.
Neither side had a very neat formation, and it entered a melee stage from the beginning. However, not long after the battle, Dong Zhuojun could no longer fight. Those who followed Chen Cheng were all selected bodyguards.
, the combat effectiveness is even higher than that of ordinary elites, so how can these defeated generals who want to escape back to Bingzhou be able to withstand them?
Not long after, Dong Zhuo's army scattered and fled in all directions. Relying on the speed of his horse, Chen Cheng chased him for more than ten miles, cutting down the last enemy in sight, and then he felt relieved from his chest.
There were more than 400 women and young men who were rescued. After being rescued, these people couldn't help hugging each other and crying. Many of their relatives had been killed. Even though they were rescued, the grief in their hearts was still there.
How can it be eliminated in a short while?
When Chen Cheng relaxed his tense spirit and rode back to the ferry, these people kowtowed together and said: "Chen Chengjun!"
However, the guards and soldiers who stayed in place have told their origins. These people had heard how bad the Xiliang bandits were before, but now they know that this is not the case at all. Even the Xiliang bandits are just like the legends.
Brutal, but how can it compare to Lu Bujun and Dong Zhuojun?
