Dong Zhuo gave the order, and the Mongolian army changed its formation. Just before they moved forward less than a hundred meters, a thunderous sound of horse hooves was heard.
"Da da da da~"
"Da da da da~"
Everyone followed the sound and saw flags fluttering in the distance, war horses coming through the wind, and smoke and dust rising all over the sky, like a violent wind passing by and a violent storm coming.
"General, this is the banner of the Chu army. We have just returned from Jiangling. It seems that the Emperor of Chu is making preparations."
Li Ru looked panicked. He was horrified when he saw the mighty Chu army rushing towards them. Their appearance was too timely, as if the Emperor of Chu had already known all this.
"Since the Chu army still dares to show up, it is simply too much to bully others. The officers and soldiers of the three armies will obey the order and kill the Chu army. I, the general, will take you to the hinterland of Chu State. There are beautiful women, fine wine, and countless gold, silver and jewelry."
Dong Zhuo shouted angrily, picked up the Feiyan halberd, and clapped his horse to charge forward. However, when he saw the generals of the Chu army rushing forward, he picked up the reins in his hands, reined in the horse and stood up, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Xuande, the enemy troops are coming fiercely. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, I will give you 30,000 cavalry. You can stay here to break up the rear."
Dong Zhuo glanced at Liu Bei, turned back and gave Li Ru a look, and the two led the army to attack on the other side.
Before Liu Bei came back to his senses, he saw Dong Zhuo and Li Ru riding their horses away. Looking back, he saw that the Chu army was approaching, and his whole body was completely messed up in the wind.
"Old thief Dong Zhuo, you are abandoning your chariot to protect the commander. You want me to stay and stop the Chu army. You are simply wishful thinking."
"All the soldiers listened to the order. Dong Zhuo brought us to the Western Jin Dynasty and threatened to capture Chu State. However, he escaped before the battle and asked me to wait here to stop the Chu army."
"Such a scoundrel behaves unworthy of being the commander-in-chief of an army. As long as I, Liu Bei, are here, I will never let you die miserably under the Chu army's butcher knife."
Liu Bei's generous words made all the soldiers burst into tears of gratitude and shouted: "I will follow General Liu to the death, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, with no regrets or regrets!"
It has to be said that Liu Bei's method of winning people's hearts is indeed clever, but he has no place to use it. At this time, the Chu army has appeared in front of them.
Huo Qubing, Li Yuanba, Qiu Feng, Wang Yanzhang, Yang Dayan, and Zhang Fei looked at the six of them, and all of them were brave and powerful. Dong Zhuo suddenly turned his horse around and fled just because he saw Li Yuanba's presence.
That day at Jiangling City, Li Yuanba hammered Guan Yu for his unparalleled strength, but it left a deep imprint on Dong Zhuo's heart. Among the Chu generals, Dong Zhuo was most eager to obtain the three generals Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu. He once thought that if he had such powerful generals,
Why worry about not seeking hegemony?
The six men reined in their horses and stood up. Vast fighting spirit was released from their bodies. The horses neighed under their crotches, and the cold light flickered. All eyes were focused on Liu Bei.
"General Liu, you are well. I just said goodbye to Jiangling City. I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Huo Qubing held a flat spear in his hand, looked at Liu Bei with his eyes, and made a joking voice.
Hearing Huo Qubing's voice, Liu Bei had a wry smile on his face. At this time, the Chu general had 100,000 troops, but Dong Zhuo only left him 30,000 troops. How could he compete with the Chu army?
Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, reined in his horse and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "General Huo is here well. I didn't expect that the general's troops are so fast. A certain general led his army just after he arrived. It was really unexpected."
"Listening to what General Liu said, it seems that I came at a very bad time. I couldn't help the military order, so General Liu should dismount and surrender quickly, before the blood stained the general's crotch horse red?"
The Lu horse that Liu Bei rides on is all white and has extraordinary charm, as if it has spiritual energy. Huo Qubing's words are telling Liu Bei that if he does not surrender, Lu will soon become a blood horse.
"General Huo, don't say any more, Yuanba will just step forward and smash him into pieces!"
Li Yuanba carried his hammers on his shoulders, his slender eyes filled with murderous intent, and his powerful voice sounded.
"General Li, please do not be reckless. My emperor has ordered Liu Bei that Guan Yu must be left alive. If you want to crush him with a hammer, it will ruin the emperor's important affairs."
Hear the sound.
Li Yuanba nodded lightly, looked behind Liu Bei, and found that the red-faced man who had fought against him in the past was not among the enemy troops.
"Listen, all officers and men, Emperor Chu was a benevolent and righteous king who treated the people well and recruited talented people. You are all top-notch warriors. Dong Zhuo betrayed his trust and left me here, but he himself escaped. Now if you believe in Xuande
, we will definitely lead everyone on a bright road."
"We will follow General Liu to the death!"
"We will follow General Liu to the death!"
All the soldiers shouted, Liu Bei jumped off his horse, stepped forward quickly, raised his fist and saluted: "General Huo, I am willing to surrender to the Chu army, and I hope that the general will protect the safety of my soldiers."
"This guy is really a literary scholar. He is sanctimonious and eloquent. If you surrender, you will surrender. Why are you being so sensational!"
Yang Dayan on the horse beside him, with a smile on his rough cheeks, said loudly, obviously not used to Liu Bei's style of doing things.
"General Yang, General Wang, please help you two. Take Liu Bei and his descendants back to Jiangling and hand them over to our emperor. I, Yuanba, Qiu Feng, and Yide will continue to pursue Dong Zhuo."
"General Huo, feel free to leave, they will be left to the two of us!"
When the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry saw Liu Bei surrendering to the Chu army, they all jumped off their horses and took off their helmets, looking disappointed.
Huo Qubing gave Yang Dayan, and Wang Yanzhang left behind 20,000 elite cavalry. The four of them flew their horses and chased Dong Zhuo in the direction where he fled.
.............
As the sun sets in the west, the tired birds return to their nests, and the rays of light sweep across thousands of miles.
On the ancient road in the wilderness, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru led 80,000 cavalry and ran wildly. The strong wind roared past. Dong Zhuo's face was ashen, and his wide-open pupils were filled with fire of anger.
Time flies, and three hours pass in the blink of an eye. At this time, the sky and the earth are shrouded in darkness, and only the moonlight shines on the ground through the branches.
After several hours of continuous attack, Dong Zhuo ordered the army to stop and rest. Even if the men did not rest, the horses under their crotches needed to rest.
Although the war horses of the Mongolian cavalry were all good horses, Dong Zhuo also knew how important the war horses were to them at the moment.
Under the night light, Dong Zhuo rested his hand on the ancient tree beside him, opened the stopper of the wine bag, and drank heavily while raising his head.
"Emperor Chu, the Sa family will make you repay a hundredfold for today's shame!"
"General, this time I promised the King of the Western Jin Dynasty to attack the Chu State. It is really not worth the gain. I borrowed the troops and lost the general. I am afraid that the 30,000 cavalry left for General Liu have been buried in the wilderness."
Li Ru was frightened for a while and spoke. Dong Zhuo raised his hand and threw the wine bag to him, saying: "Li Ru, don't talk nonsense. If you dare to shake the morale of the army, I will kill you!"
"It's better to quickly think about how to get rid of the Chu army's pursuit next. This Chu army is like a hungry wolf. Once it gets involved, it can't be shaken off."
Li Ru was panicked. He raised his hand and took out a map and spread it on the ground. After a while, he suddenly stood up with an excited look on his face. (To be continued)
