The heavier the rain, the heavier it falls.

After the morning, the rain had changed from a hazy light rain to a downpour.

"Kill!"

There was a sudden roar, and a great battle broke out.

In the midst of the heavy rain, the raid had already begun.

"Enemy attack!"

"Defend quickly!"

"Assemble!"

"Find cover!"

The general of Xiliang was exhausted, and Sdili shouted.

"Kill it!"

"Push them, bulldoze them!"

"One hour, settle the battle!"

The 6th Battalion and 7th Battalion of the Third Army, 5,800 elite soldiers of the two battalions, rushed over like a torrent.

Fighting in the rain.

Blood remained on the ground with the rain, and in less than half an hour, the entire ground was dyed blood red, and under the glow of a bewitching color, more brutal killings were being staged.

"Withdraw!"

Ma Wan was injured, he watched his soldiers, one by one, the defense line collapsed in his heart, and the belief in sticking to Longguan Road collapsed, people are best alive, and when people die, the position is gone.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

The Great Retreat of the Longxi Army began.

Retreat in the direction of the main camp of the Chinese army.

The herdsmen did not continue to pursue, after all, the main force of Longxi was not something that they could withstand with a few thousand soldiers and horses, and their strategic purpose was to seize the Longguan Pass.

Now the strategic objective has been achieved.

Naturally, they withdrew their troops and cleaned up the battlefield.

Before and after the battle, this time lasted for most of the hour, not even an hour.

The Longguan Pass was captured by the herdsmen.

Lost the Longguan Pass.

It is equivalent to losing the last main road that can be withdrawn from Jieting, and all the soldiers and horses of the Longxi Army have been trapped in the plain, mountain road, and jungle northeast of Jieting, less than fifty miles in radius.

At this time, the Longxi army is really going to become the turtle that catches the turtle in the urn.

……

"What about the casualties?" Looking at the generals who were cleaning the battlefield, Gao Ding took off his hat and faced the torrential rain, regardless of the fact that he was drenched in the heavy rain.

"Our battalion suffered more than 300 casualties!"

"Our battalion suffered four hundred casualties!"

The captains of the two battalions reported in a low voice, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Even if the enemy suffered more than three times as many casualties as them.

Nor did they find the slightest comfort.

Pastoral soldiers are professional soldiers, and every soldier is trained to be very difficult, not ordinary young and strong can be pulled to the battlefield, and every soldier who goes to the battlefield must go through the training of recruits in the reserve army, and then slowly fill the battalions.

In the loss on the battlefield, every soldier is worthy of the heartache of the main general.

"This heavy rain has given us a chance, and it has also given them a chance, and the fighting behind them will not be able to form a formation with each other, so the casualties of our army will inevitably be much greater!" A general next to him said analytically.

"Clean up the battlefield first, and then arrange to guard the Longguan Road, build fortifications, and establish a defense system!"

Gao Ding gritted his teeth: "In addition, send someone to urgently take a look here, report to the lord and Zhonglang, and wait for them to make the next strategic instructions!" ”

"No!"

The generals moved.

……

At this time, Ma Yu led the army and fled back to the middle camp.

"My lord, has the Longguan Pass been lost?"

"How so?"

Ma Teng looked at Ma in disbelief: "We are holding the main force of this herding army, it is impossible for them to cross over, how can they sneak attack the Longguan Pass!" ”

"I don't know!"

The horse was covered with rain, mud, and blood, and there was a penetrating wound on his body, and his voice was a little pale: "Suddenly it came out from the south, and the heavy rain covered our sight, so that they were caught off guard by killing us, and when they wanted to resist, it was too late, and the loss of soldiers would be more than 2,400, if I hadn't taken the initiative to give up the position, now the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses under my command have all been killed!" ”

"They're so fierce!"

"Kill with a strong crossbow!"

"Then we rushed in in the rain, and we didn't have time to react...... And then...... We fought back...... Can...... Can...... We......! ”

The sound of horses playing is getting weaker and weaker.

"Lang Zhong!"

Ma Teng was still sensible after all, and he shouted: "Call Lang Zhong here, bandage his wounds no matter what, put people out of the fire for me!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Kan quickly arranged it

…………

The main camp tent of the Chinese army in Longxi Army.

It was raining heavily outside, and the Xiliang generals in the camp tent were covered with a chill in their hearts.

"The main force!"

Li Kan was the first to break the silence: "My lord, it is the main force of the herdsman army who has gone north!" ”

"Where did they come from?"

"Go out of Qishan, enter Shangqi, and then go north from Shangqi, so that you can directly surprise the Longguan Pass!" Li Kan replied.

"It seems that the worst has happened!"

Ma Teng sighed: "Blame me, it's me who is too greedy, indecisive, and can't make a decision early, if I can make a decision earlier, maybe now, we have returned to Guanzhong, and we won't fall into such a situation!" “

"Lord, now we have fallen into the encirclement of the herdsmen, the actual situation of the herdsmen's strength, we don't know yet, but it will only be more than us, not less than us, and the morale, combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment are far above us, we must not continue to entangle with them, otherwise there is a possibility of annihilation!"

Li Kan bowed his head, arched his hands, and pleaded: "The last general asks, break through immediately!" ”

"Break out immediately?"

Ma Teng raised his head and looked out of the sky, a drop of pea-sized rain fell, and his heart sank: "In this kind of environment, it is difficult to march, let alone break through!" ”

There are two sides to everything, and this heavy rain helped them at first, but now, it has become their biggest obstacle.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to move!"

Li Kan said: "If you don't move now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance!" ”

"You're right, you should be interrupted and suffer from it!" Ma Teng's generation of Xiliang heroes, this point of decisiveness and courage, he still has: "Pass my military order, all departments prepare, after an hour, break through to the northwest!" ”|

The strength of Longguan Road is unpredictable, and now if Ma Teng wants to break through, he will tend to the northwest, cross the northern suburbs of the street pavilion, and enter Anding County, Liangzhou.

"No!"

The generals did not object, after all, the mouth of the retreating troops of Longguan Road has been sealed, and at this time, the gains outweigh the losses, and there is only one way left, breaking through in the direction of stability in the northwest.

……………………

Yellow Turban Barracks.

"This god really doesn't give face!"

Huang Shao looked at the rain that was falling heavier and heavier, and he was very unwilling in his heart, in this case, he didn't want to launch an attack on the Xiliang army again, once they were relieved and let them rest, with their troops, they would undoubtedly gnaw hard bones.

"It seems that we can only count on the main force!"

Huang Shao was helpless, although this fragrant dumpling was fragrant, it was also very hot, and he couldn't eat it after all.

"Report!"

"Say!"

"Report to General Zhonglang, three hours ago, fifty miles away from us, a battle broke out in the mountain pass of Longguan Road!"

"What?"

Huang Shao's eyes widened: "Where did the troops come from?" ”

"It should be that our army and the Xiliang army are fighting!"

"Fart, our army soldiers, I haven't taken half a step out of the camp today......" Huang Shao just wanted to refute, but suddenly the pastoral army was not just the Yellow Turban Army, he looked at the scout and asked: "Are you sure it is our army?" ”

"It rained too much, but I saw the flag of the Third Army, although it wasn't very clear, but I recognized it!"

"The Third Army has entered the battlefield?" Huang Shao was a little puzzled: "Why don't I have any news at all, my scouts in Xixian County, and no news has come back, how did they enter the battlefield!" ”

"General Zhonglang, don't forget, in addition to Xixian, there is also Shangqi!"

Meng Da suddenly reminded Huang Shao.

"Yes!"

Huang Shao stared at the marching map and said: "How did I forget this position, Zhang Wenyuan chose a good point, if this is the case, the Third Army has all entered the battlefield!" ”

"But why didn't they contact us?"

"It takes time to get in touch!"

Huang Shao can understand: "The soldiers are fast! ”

"Shall we get in touch with them now?"

"The two battlefields of the east and west, it is troublesome to connect, but you still have to contact, Zijing, you send someone to contact!"

"Yes!"

Meng Da nodded.

"Laborious!"

"In!"

"How's your rest?"

"At present, there are only fifty percent combat effectiveness!"

"That's enough!"

Huang Shao pointed to the marching map and said, "Even if it rains, within an hour, your troops must rush here, pray for Chuankou!" ”

"Yes!"

Laboriously led the order, without the slightest shirk, and turned away.

"Zhang Wenyuan, are you playing a little too big this time, if Lao Tzu can't react, won't he let this fish slip away in front of him!" Huang Shao stared at the marching map for a long time, and a wry smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

"General Zhonglang, do you mean that the Xiliang Army may break through now, and the goal of the breakthrough is the direction we are defending?"

A general understood Huang Shao's self-talk.

"Not a possibility, but a certainty!"

Huang Shao pointed to the marching map and said: "Zhang Liao's raid on the Longguan Pass is the future to force the Xiliang Army to break through, the Longguan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountain road is narrow, and the small place can't even be three people side by side, the Xiliang Army broke through, it must be my direction!" ”

"He's telling me that in the next battle, the Yellow Turban Army doesn't have to attack, just defend, and all the offensive matters will be handed over to him!"

"This guy is really confident!"

"Then let's see, how can he eat this Xiliang Army!"
