Chapter 269: Ambush the Xiliang soldiers

The sun is in the sky and the sky is blue and cloudless.

The warm sun shines on my body, and it is very comfortable.

On the spacious official road, a long and winding procession marched slowly. The wheels roll, crunching. The whip in the hand of the Xiliang soldier was raised, whipped on the horse's back, and crackled. The war horse was in pain and struggled to pull the goods away. There are countless carriages on the official road, and each carriage has two large sealed and locked boxes.

Among the Xiliang soldiers, the leader was a general wearing a black battle robe and carrying a sword in his hand.

The general was none other than Xu Rong, who fled back to Luoyang with Li Ru.

After leaving Luoyang, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo went to Chang'an together. Xu Rong stayed behind and led the Western Liang soldiers to escort Dong Zhuo's looted money in Luoyang. Xu Rong was defeated by Wang Can, but Xu Rong was unwilling in his heart, and the situation at that time was about to kill Wang Can, but he was killed by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which made the Xiliang soldiers defeat and return. This time, Xu Rong led the troops to escort the money, which is a meritorious service, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of the money and property, and there can be no loss in the slightest.

Xu Rong rode back and forth in the team, urging the Xiliang soldiers to hurry.

Escorting the money, the army marched in the direction of Chang'an. However, the speed of travel is very slow, and there is very little time to rest. Throughout the afternoon, there was only one break and no other breaks.

When night fell, the Xiliang army set up camp, except for the Xiliang soldiers who guarded the camp, the other Xiliang soldiers fell asleep early.

Xu Rong still patrolled the battalion, cheering up the soldiers and asking them to strengthen their vigilance.

Wang Can is best at sneak attacks, the Tiger Prison Pass was stolen, and the Lu Bu camp was stolen...... Therefore, after the army set up camp, Xu Rong worked hard and did not dare to slack off.

In the first half of the night, Xiliang Bing could still keep his eyes open like a door god, and his spirit was great.

In the second half of the night, the soldiers on the night vigil were no longer good, they were all squinting and napping, and their heads nodded down like chickens pecking rice.

The night was very thick, and the torches of the makeshift camp crackled, and the surrounding situation could be seen clearly under the red firelight, and it was not clear from thirty meters away from the camp.

In the camp, there was silence.

This night, Xu Rong slept in the tent and slept in his clothes, afraid of emergencies.

However, it was very quiet at night and nothing happened.

The next day, Xu Rong continued to hurry with the Xiliang soldiers. Just as Xu Rong was patrolling, the scouts sent to explore the road ran to Xu Rong's side and reported: "General, five miles ahead, there are valleys and dense forests on both sides of the official road that must be passed, whether the army will temporarily stop advancing, and send soldiers to investigate the details of the mountains and forests." ”

"The valley? Jungle? ”

After Xu Rong heard this, his heart suddenly tensed.

Immediately, I relaxed again. He led the army to escort the money and set off from Luoyang, and he has always been vigilant, concentrating on this, it is impossible for there to be an ambush ahead, even if there are pursuers in the rear of the army, how can he run to the front? Xu Rong was silent for a moment and ordered, "The army continues to advance, there is no need to worry. ”

"No!"

The scout turned his horse's head and went to do his bidding.

Half an hour later, the army was getting closer and closer to the valley.

The scout rode to Xu Rong again, and replied: "General, I found that there are birds flying in the woods from time to time, do you want to send someone to find out the news, please show the general." ”

Xu Rong frowned slightly and asked, "How big is the number of flying birds?" ”

The scout replied, "General, the number of birds is very small, and occasionally one can be found. ”

Xu Rong heard the soldiers say that there were just a few flying birds in the woods, this must be the instinctive flying of the birds, it could not be other circumstances, he ordered: "The army continues to advance, don't pay attention to the movement in the woods." ”

The scout received the order and turned to leave.

About an hour later, the army was approaching the valley.

Xu Rong rode to the front of the valley, looking at the protrusions on both sides of the valley, the official road leading to Chang'an in the middle, and the dense woods above both sides of the valley, and became vigilant in his heart. However, Xu Rong thought that he had an army of 60,000, and such a small valley was not enough to stop the Xiliang army.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Rong was about to give the order to advance, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in the valley ahead.

Xu Rong's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Quick, go and find out the situation immediately." ”

The scout received the order and rode his horse towards the valley, and it was not long before the scout turned back. Xu Rong saw that the scout's expression was solemn, and the expression on his face was very ugly, and asked, "Say, what happened in the valley?" ”

The scout said, "General, the valley is sealed!" ”

"The valley is sealed?"

After hearing this, Xu Rong asked, "There are trees on both sides of the valley, and there are no big stones, how can it be sealed?" ”

The scout said, "General, there are trees on both sides of the valley, but someone has moved a large stone and put it on the valley and pushed it down to seal the mountain pass, and there must be an ambush in this mountain forest. ”

When Xu Rong heard this, his face became very embarrassed.

Once the road through the valley was blocked, he would not be able to pass the news to Dong Zhuo. In other words, now the Xiliang army led by Xu Rong has become a lone army, isolated and helpless, even if he leads 60,000 Xiliang soldiers, he will be in trouble after a long time. Xu Rong looked at the green mountains and forests, and his heart was full of panic.

If someone had been sent to investigate the mountains and forests, the situation would not have been present.

Careless!

Xu Rong felt remorseful in his heart, but he could only accept the reality.

Just when Xu Rong was remorseful, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the rear, and a scout galloped to Xu Rong, with an anxious look on his face, and said loudly: "General, it's not good, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

Xu Rong shouted: "What are you panicking about, this will be here, what is there to be afraid of." ”

The scout said with a weak breath: "Countless civilians appeared in the rear of the army, as well as the cavalry and infantry of the princes. ”

When Xu Rong heard this, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.

As soon as the road to Chang'an was blocked, there were chasing soldiers behind it, as well as countless civilians, and the situation was quite complicated. Xu Rong's mood was heavy, his panicked expression quickly calmed down, and he ordered: "The army is assembled, leaving a small number of soldiers in the valley to prepare for emergencies, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to meet the enemy. ”

On the surface, Xu Rong is high-spirited, but he has no bottom in his heart.

Xu Rong knew that the people were escorted by the Xiliang soldiers, and now that the people were attacking, it meant that the Xiliang army in the rear was destroyed.

After Xu Rong left with the army, two heads suddenly appeared above the valley, and only faces could be seen, and both heads were crowned with resolute hats made of weeds and leaves.

These two people, one is Wang Can, and the other is Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao said: "Lord, Xu Rong is gone, let's do it!" ”

Wang Can shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when the Xiliang army led by Xu Rong fights with the army chasing in the rear, we will do it again." In this way, Xu Rong can be prevented from dividing his troops to rescue, so that not only do we not reap the benefits, but we also have to hide in the woods again. ”

Pei Yuanshao stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "The lord is wise! ”

Wang Can scolded with a smile: "Sycophant! ”

Pei Yuanshao smiled, looked at the valley below that had been blocked, and said, "Lord, Xu Rong's road to Chang'an has been blocked, and we will definitely be able to kill him this time." ”

Wang Can sighed secretly in his heart, of course he wanted to annihilate Xu Rong, but the 60,000 Xiliang army was not easy to eat.

Xu Rong ran back with the main force of the Xiliang Army, and when he arrived at the rear of the army, Xu Rong saw the situation in the distance, his eyes widened, and he was stunned.

Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to cover the sky and the sun, and there was no boundary.

At the same time, at the forefront of the people, there were cavalry and infantry. When Xu Rong's gaze fell on the general who led the cavalry, his pupils shrank, and an incredible look appeared on his face, it was Zhao Yun who led the cavalry. After seeing Zhao Yun, Xu Rong knew that this time it was Wang Can who led the troops again.

Although it was Wang Can again, Xu Rong was not afraid in the face of the cavalry and infantry led by Zhao Yun, after all, he had 60,000 Xiliang soldiers, and the cavalry and infantry led by Zhao Yun were only about 3,000 people.

However, there were still hundreds of thousands of people who rushed up frantically behind Zhao Yun, which was a large number. Even if the combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands of unarmed people is very low, there are more ants that can bite and kill elephants. Hundreds of thousands of people rushed up, and 60,000 Xiliang soldiers were easily dispersed, and they couldn't stop the crowd!

Xu Rong glanced at the carriage parked on the ground, it was the money that Dong Zhuo had robbed after carrying countless infamy.

Once you lose it, you will have to face Dong Zhuo's thunderous wrath.
