Chapter 340: Heavenly Help
Thundered.
Just when Li Qi was thinking about the infinitely better future, suddenly countless thunderbolts flashed in the sky, and then thunder burst out.
Li Xun's face suddenly changed drastically, and he looked up at the void.
Swish~!
A heavy rain without warning, suddenly surging in, each raindrop was as big as a soybean, as soon as the heavy rain fell, the raging fire that was burning violently in Tongguan was quickly extinguished. The temperature that was originally scorching as if it made people feel like they were in a furnace dropped suddenly, and the rain flew down, wetting the bodies of countless people.
"It's raining? It's raining!!! β
"Hahahaha!! When God opened his eyes, Dong Gou was cruel and unreasonable, and even the sky didn't want to see his minions doing evil!!! β
A burst of ecstatic shouts sounded beside Wen Han, Wen Han looked up at the sky, feeling the coldness of the raindrops falling on his body, but his body continued to rise hot.
"I'm waiting for God's help!! With a miracle body, what else can knock us down!? Soldiers obey orders!! Counterattack!! Anyone who approaches the Dong dog minions within ten meters of Tongguan!! Shoot them all!! β
"Shoot!! Shoot all the Dong dog minions that are closed!! β
Guan Yu tore off his battle robe, picked up the big bow, and released two arrows in a row, and the arrows flew away through the void, all of which shot at Li Yu. Li was shocked and hurriedly avoided it. And just when Guan Yu wanted to put the third arrow, because he used too much force, he actually pulled and broke the magpie drawing bow.
Seeing this, the morale and fighting spirit erupted like a volcano, picked up the bow and arrow in their hands, and shot the arrows in a row, all in one go, as if they would not kill the Liangzhou soldiers under the pass, and never give up.
At this time, Li Xuan's men and horses were all frightened and panicked by this heavy rain without warning. Some even muttered some words about heavenly retribution. They know very well that what Dong Zhuo has done is angry and resentful. And they helped to abuse, their hearts were not upright, and at this time, they saw that the defenders of Tongguan were suddenly upset.
The people of this era are very secret, and it is enough to see from the growth of the Yellow Turban Sect.
Li Xuan's men and horses lost their fighting spirit and their morale was low, and on the contrary, although the number of defenders of Tongguan was small, they were full of morale, and all of them seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and dozens of rounds of arrows were fired in a row, shooting the Liangzhou sergeants under the pass into chaos.
Bang-la-la
The heavy rain hit Jia Xu's whole body, and at this time, Jia Xu's face was completely smiling, and it was terrifyingly dark.
"How is it possible, I have observed the heavens before, and there is no possibility of rain for three days in a row! And this rain is not only weird, but also terrible!! β
Jia Xu quickly thought about the gains and losses in his heart, and his teeth bit sharply, the soldiers had no will to fight, and they were afraid, even if they had an absolute advantage in troops, it would be useless. Rather, these mutual intentions affect each other. Therefore, Jia Xu finally decided to withdraw from the army for the time being.
Jia Xu's face was dark and calm, and he ordered a herald to report to Li Xuan, who listened to it, and also felt that the surrounding soldiers and horses seemed to be unable to lift their spirits for a while, and they could not fight with the will to fight.
Originally, there was only one step away from capturing this Tong Pass, but this sudden heavy rain extinguished all this. Although Li Xuan was not angry, before the war, he promised to obey Jia Xu's words, and wanted to withdraw his troops immediately.
At this time, Guo Yan glared at Li Yu with red eyes.
"General Li, what do you want to do!? Could it be that you want to quit the army again!! After tonight, we only have one day left! If we can't break through this pass on the last day, we will all die!! Do you want to kill everyone? β
Li Xuan was originally full of anger, and at this time, Guo Yan was confronting him again, which suddenly aroused Li Xun's deep hatred for Guo Yan, and Li Xuan pulled out his sword and put it on Guo Yan's throat.
"Shut up!! Here is what Li Zhiran said, what kind of thing is Ru Guoduo! You have confronted me again and again, I have endured you for a long time, don't get an inch again, otherwise you will blame me for not thinking about the old feelings!! β
Guo Yan looked at Li Xuan's terrifying evil appearance and knew that he was by no means joking, but really killed himself.
"Childish! Childish!! I am wrong, I am trespassing. Thou art a general, and thou shalt obey thee in everything. The sword has no eyes, so you should take away the sword. β
"Humph!"
Li urged Guo Yan to beg for mercy, so he dissipated his anger, withdrew his sword, and then ignored Guo Yan, but gave the order to the surrounding soldiers to retreat.
Bang bang bang.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fall on people's heads, and their whole body hurts. This rain made all the Liangzhou sergeants panic. It's like the wrath of heaven.
Rumble~! Rumble~!
Suddenly, two huge thunderbolts fell, knocking down two towering trees, and the two towering trees fell left and right, blocking the retreat of the Liangzhou army. And Jia Xu was leading the rear army to retreat, and was almost crushed to death by these two towering trees, but fortunately, his guard Chen Bing was quick and pulled him back in time.
Seeing this scene, the Liangzhou sergeants were even more vigorous, and some of them even didn't listen to the command and rushed straight to the mountain road as if they were crazy. At the back of Tongguan, Wen Han saw the Liangzhou army retreating one after another, and the tense nerves in his whole body were relaxed, and he suddenly felt that his arms and feet were numb, and his head fell down with a bang.
Wen Han fell heavily to the ground in a large shape, splashing a splash, Guan Yu, Xu Huang and the soldiers around him hurriedly ran over to see if Wen Han was in trouble.
"Ah~!!!! survived!!!!! Survived!! Hahahahaha!!! β
Before they could run, they heard Wen Han shouting at the sky, and let out a cry with all his might. Wen Han's shout quickly infected a group of soldiers, and after walking through the pass of hell, they really had a feeling of being reincarnated as human at this time. And the comrades who fight side by side with him are like being reborn together, from the biological brothers of the same mother.
And after Wen Han captured Tongguan, he did not hide that they would encounter the danger of nine deaths next, and he said some passionate words to the soldiers. And of course, the five thousand Hedong Erlang under his command supported Wen Han without hesitation, but the three thousand soldiers borrowed from Cao Cao were quite rhetorical. However, as a soldier, he knew that the military order could not be violated, and these 3,000 soldiers had no choice but to reluctantly accept their fate.
But after today's battle, they saw that Wen Han, as a general, refused to abandon his soldiers in danger, and the words of dying together still echoed in their ears. After experiencing rebirth after death, Wen Han can be said to have won their greatest respect!
The heavy rain was still falling, accompanied by the thunder of the hurricane and the thunder of the Liangzhou army at the foot of the mountain. On Li Xuan's account, Li Xuan, Guo Yan, Jia Xu and other generals had gloomy and terrible faces. Time was running out, the date on the order was just one day away, and the frenzied rain seemed to show no signs of stopping.
Li Xu's brows have been furrowing, he has forgotten how many times he has set his eyes on Jia Xu, but Jia Xu is indifferent, looking like he is bowing his head and thinking deeply. And Guo Yan's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what bad water was churning in his stomach.
"It's been two hours, and the rain hasn't decreased, but it's getting heavier and heavier. Now that all teams of people are afraid of the sky and have a low fighting spirit, do you have a way to solve the problem in front of you? β
Li Xun finally couldn't help but open his mouth and ask the generals under the table. What made Li Xuan even more annoyed and angry was that these generals seemed to be dumb, and no one spoke.
Just when Li stood up urgently, his face instantly became hideous, and he wanted to roar loudly, a thunderbolt suddenly fell, hitting a flag in the camp, and with a bang, the flag fell in response, which immediately frightened Li Xuan and the soldiers in the tent.
Li Xuan was shocked, and with a sigh, he felt as if he had fallen into quicksand, and the more he struggled, the closer he was to death.
"Newspaper!! People from Luoyang!! β
Suddenly, outside Li Xuan's tent, there was a shout. When Li Zhuo heard the word Luoyang, his whole face immediately turned blue, and he thought that Dong Zhuo had sent someone to urge the war.
"Please!"
Li urged the panic in his heart, popped out a word from his mouth, and then glanced at Jia Xu coldly. It's like saying, if you can't figure out a way, then we're all going to die together!
After a while, a young general from Liangzhou, who was wet and clothed, rushed into Li Xuan's tent with a look of urgency, and before Li Xuan could speak, he reported sharply.
"General Li is not in a good situation!! One day after the army left Luoyang, the right alliance of the thief army led by Cao Mengde, using Cao Mengde as bait, deceived Wenhou's army, and sent Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, and Pingyang Taishou Zhang Yang Four soldiers and horses were strange soldiers, and went south to make a detour, and the troops came to Luoyang City! After Wen Hou learned about it, he immediately led the army to rescue, but he was ambushed by Zhang Yang, and was flanked by Zhang Yang and Cao Cao's army who chased from behind, and was defeated, Wen Hou led less than thousands of remnants of the army to fight out of the encirclement and fled back to Luoyang. On the same day, the Zuo Alliance of the thief army broke through the Kei Pass, and was killing Luoyang with great momentum.
Now that Luoyang is in danger, Lord Xiangguo has an order to lift the military order of the sergeants led by General Li, and immediately lead the troops to retreat with General Niu Fu and Yuan Shao's low-grade thief army! β
Li Xun's expression changed as he listened to it, from horror at the beginning to disbelief later, and finally with a hint of joy. His horror and disbelief stemmed from the fact that although Dong Zhuo had ordered LΓΌ Bu to withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass, slowly withdraw the army to Luoyang, and at the same time block Cao Cao's thief army, and when the relocation of the capital was completed, he would withdraw immediately. This was Dong Zhuo's original intention, and when he was discussing with Li Ru, he was also present to listen. And calculating the time, less than half of Lu Bu's army should have withdrawn to Luoyang, while he had an army of more than 30,000, but less than a few thousand people were killed and fled back to Luoyang. According to Li Zhuo's estimate, now in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo has less than 150,000 troops, no wonder Dong Zhuo is so anxious and summons him back to fight with Niu Fu to resist Yuan Shao. Because once Yuan Shao's thief army left alliance arrived in Luoyang City and joined Cao Cao's thief army right alliance, then Luoyang City was afraid that it would be broken by the thief army alliance.
As for the snickering joy, of course, he had nothing to do about Tongguan, and when he saw that it was about to reach the date agreed in the military order, and when he was going to cut off his head, Dong Zhuo lifted his military order, so that he didn't have to be afraid anymore.
However, Li Xuan quickly put away this stealing joy, and then pretended to be angry.
"Oops!! How could Wen Hou be so careless and disrupt the original good situation of Xiangguo! This Tongguan has been attacked by the general's army, and it is expected that it will be broken tomorrow. At this time, he had to retreat to save Luoyang's dangerous situation. It's a pity, it's a pity! β
"Please also ask General Li to focus on the overall situation!! Before the young general came, the military adviser specially instructed the junior general to tell General Li that after hearing this order, he must not slack off and withdraw immediately!! β
Li Xun pretended to be extremely annoyed, paced back and forth, and then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
"You're right, everything is based on the safety of Xiangguo, so I will immediately withdraw my troops, rush back to Luoyang, and resist Yuan Shao's thief army with General Niu Fu!"
Hearing Li urging him to agree, all the soldiers under his tent exhaled a few breaths, as if they had escaped. But Jia Xu was silent, his eyes kept shrinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Two hours later, the Liangzhou army at the foot of Tongguan Mountain was in turmoil again, but this time they did not kill on the mountain road, but braved the heavy rain and wind and rushed towards the direction of Luoyang in the rear.
On the mountain road, several scouts on fast horses saw the Liangzhou army retreating in the rain, and they were all ecstatic, and hurriedly threw their horsewhips and ran up the mountain.
On Tongguan, there is black and red rain all around, and thousands of unburned trains are piled up messily around Tongguan, and there are many corpses that have been burned next to it.
An extremely strong smell of gunsmoke, washed by the heavy rain, did not weaken.
