Chapter 30: The Battle of Rushui

To the south of Sanfu, in the most corner of the Guanzhong region, a fight is continuing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sun Wentai led his troops north, but was trapped by the enemy in the first battle, and the army under his command composed of rabble from all over the country quickly dispersed, and even Sun Jian could only flee in the direction of Luyang under the cover of his cronies.

Xu Rong's soldiers and horses were beheaded by more than 2,000 people, which was a small victory. Originally, the results of the battle could have been further expanded, but Xu Rong saw that Sun Jian was retreating too quickly, and even the most elite men and horses in his headquarters retreated immediately after only one assault, which made him worried.

He was afraid that this was Sun Jian's strategy to lure the enemy, and he did not dare to pursue it in depth for fear of deception, otherwise the results of this battle alone would be enough for the western soldiers to meet with Yuan Shu in Luyang.

This is not Sun Jian's strategy to lure the enemy, he was really defeated, and the so-called rapid retreat is just to prevent the loss of the elite men and horses of the headquarters in this kind of defeated battle.

When the two wings and the county soldiers of the front army were about to collapse, no matter how sharp the three or four thousand men and horses of Sun Jian's headquarters were, it would be impossible to recover the losses of the battle, so he could only order a retreat.

But after retreating, Sun Jian found that Xu Rong did not pursue, and immediately reorganized his troops and horses near Liang County to collect the rout, and expanded his army to 8,000 people again in just two hours...... Although Xu Rong won for a while, he didn't get any benefits.

Xu Rong restrained his greed, but Hu Zhen couldn't.

Hu Zhen is greedy for merit.

"General Xu Zhonglang, since you have defeated the enemy, why don't you chase it?" Hu Zhen was a little late when he learned that the war broke out, although he hurriedly led the army to help, but more than 10,000 sergeants dragged all the way, and when they arrived at the Yangren gathering, this battle with a very short time of fighting had ended, Hu Zhen shouted on horseback and asked dissatisfiedly: "The pursuit at this time is definitely a big victory!" ”

Xu Rong didn't want to say anything more to Hu Zhen, but just arched his hand and said: "Show that the prince of the palace is worried that Sun Jian'er will be deceived and defeated, and he is worried that he will be ambushed by the later general Yuan Shu if he continues to pursue south, so he decided to gather in Yang to wait for the enemy army to fight again." ”

"Huh." Hearing that Xu Rong's voice was quite respectful, Hu Zhen didn't say much, just raised his horsewhip and smiled: "In this case, Hu will explore the way south for Zhonglang to see if he is so lucky to see the little Yuan Er that Dong Gongchao is thinking about!" ”

Xu Rong had no friends among the western soldiers, and he was not even as good as Lu Bu, who joined Dong Zhuo with a huge army of mergers, so he was not annoyed when he heard Hu Zhen's yin and yang strange words, but only dissuaded: "Think twice, you may encounter ambushes when you go south!" ”

Hu Zhen didn't listen to the persuasion, and urged the soldiers and horses to the south one after another, and sneered at Xu Rong before leaving: "If you don't defeat these people, when will the people of Dongjun wait for Hu's indoctrination?" I'm afraid they can't wait, Hu is gone! ”

Hu Zhen couldn't wait to quickly defeat the Kwantung Coalition Army, and take office as soon as possible, Dong Zhuo gave him the title to succeed the dead Qiao Mao as the Taishou of Dongjun...... That's the Taishou of the Central Plains! After having done this official position, it is time to take up an important position in the imperial court next, right?

He Hu is the first among the generals in Liangzhou!

Dong Gong is so loving, how can he not die for Dong Gong?

Before the words fell, Hu Zhen had already led the army all the way south, pursuing the route of Sun Jian's general retreat.

Sun Jian did not flee too far south, all the way to the south, his mind was mainly on gathering the troops and horses, in the case of realizing that Xu Rong may not be pursuing, he immediately ordered his subordinate Han Dang to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the main road of Rushui, and then led the troops to Liang County to rest, in order to fight the Yang people again.

This re-battle is extremely short-lived in Sun Jian's heart, the Yang people gather without a city, and it is difficult for the enemy to stabilize the camp in one day and one night even if he camps after the victory, so he will gather the army tonight and attack the Yang people again, the enemy must be defenseless!

But before he could make a comeback, Hu Zhen's soldiers and horses caught up.

Han Dang is a native of Lingzhi in Liaoxi, and is a fellow villager with Gongsun Zhan. In his early years, he followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere, and he participated in several major battles from the south to the north, and was appreciated by Sun Jian for his extraordinary strength and horse arching skills.

After receiving the order this time, I thought it was an idle job, but I didn't expect that there would really be a leader like Hu Zhen to chase after him, which couldn't help but make Han Dang's soul risk.

Not to mention anything else, the battle of the Yang people made them all realize how terrible the hordes of Liangzhou soldiers were in the melee at night, and there were very few soldiers and horses in this world who could fight to the death in a formation that was almost scattered, let alone their formation was scattered by themselves.

Why do you break up your formation? Because every Xizhou soldier was shouting to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

It's hard to stop a husband, not to mention that they are not alone. Thousands of Liangzhou soldiers and ghosts screamed and slashed the enemy with weapons...... Han Dang did not fight against the Liangzhou soldiers, but at that time, the Liangzhou soldiers under the command of Han Sui and others did not have such morale when they fought against the counterinsurgency army of the Han Dynasty.

Obviously, this is the sense of honor that Dong Zhuo gave them after dominating the court and occupying Sanfu.

What border state doesn't want to be the master of the world? Han Dang is also a native of Bianzhou, and he knows very well how strong the Liangzhou soldiers can be in the war under this strange mentality.

So he didn't plan to stop these Xizhou soldiers who were going south all the way by himself.

Han Dang wanted to retreat, but the news from Sun Jian in the rear was that he wanted to fight and retreat, luring the enemy to the valley northwest of Liang County...... Sun Jian had to do what he couldn't do and counterattack this group of Liangzhou soldiers.

Han Dang, who had retreated five miles south from Rushui, received news from Sun Jian, turned his head to look north, and at night on the banks of the Rushui River, a large number of Liangzhou soldiers advanced to the south.

He only has 2,000 men, how can he fight and retreat? The enemy seems to be up to 8,000 people, and if one accidentally forms an encirclement by the enemy, let alone retreat at that time, he can't even fight.

Han Dang knew very well that the only time he could fight the enemy was now!

Take advantage of the fact that the army is crossing the river and being cut off by the terrain and surprise them!

"Kill them back and assault them south of the riverbank! Don't be in love! Han Dang was ruthless, squinted his eyes with his long knife, and finally took a deep breath, Le Ma turned his head to the sergeant who was retreating south, and ordered: "The general has an order, turn your head to the north and attack the enemy army crossing the river!" ”

There are only more than 500 elites among the 2,000 soldiers under his command, and the rest are all rabble, but this elite has given the surrounding soldiers strong confidence, and this group of people from Jiangdong who dare to die has high killing intentions, and they do not hesitate to raise their weapons and march north, and the rest follow freely.

The style of the pre-Qin Chu land will reappear today!

The two thousand foot cavalry suddenly turned around in the retreat, charged out with a galloping pace, turned around a few miles away, and approached two miles, and the roar of the Jiangdong soldiers shook the Liangzhou soldiers.

The fleeing enemy has been killed?

Hu Zhen raised his spear with a happy face, and shouted loudly: "Charge, charge, charge!" The good sons of Liangzhou crushed the enemy army and charged! ”

The pursuing enemy suddenly appeared, how could Hu Zhen not feel cheered, but when he rode out a few steps and did not hear the voices of the people behind him, he turned back in surprise, this time he turned around, his face was like earth.

The excitement of pursuing the enemy made him forget the position of his own army at this time, and only 2,000 soldiers crossed the river, and a large number of foot cavalry were still blocked on the bridge on the other side of the river, and it was impossible to pass at all.

"Don't rush, quickly form a formation, form a formation to guard against the enemy!" Hu Zhen restrained his horse hatefully, shouting loudly for his subordinates to form a formation to defend against the enemy, while scolding his subordinates and scolding the southern soldiers for being too treacherous, "These Jiangdong dogs, quickly form a formation!" ”

All Hu Zhen can do now is pray for a small number of enemies. Otherwise, if more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed, he really couldn't resist it. At that time, more than 10,000 troops are blocked on such a Rushui bridge, and those behind will rush forward and those who want to retreat, and no one will survive if they are crowded on the bridge in a panic!

But fortunately, Hu Zhen felt that the enemy's soldiers and horses were not many when he heard the voice, so he kept shouting at the soldiers in the front, and the Liangzhou soldiers also formed a formation around the Rushui Bridge under the shouts of the generals.

Han Dangcai didn't care whether the Liangzhou soldiers formed a formation or not, at the moment the Liangzhou soldiers crossed the bridge with only 2,000 people, it was a good time for him to attack the enemy, even if he fought a tough battle, he was not afraid, let alone such a surprise attack?

From a distance, Han Dang saw the figure of the soldier in front of the enemy army who crossed the horse and raised the spear, and his eyes narrowed in the gallop, so he threw the long knife to the rider beside him, took out the big bow from the backpack, and said: "Look at the treasure knife for a certain one!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the longbow was in hand, the arrows were wound, the legs were tightened, and the horse's belly was tightened, and he rode out alone.

The horses galloped, and in an instant, they were only a few dozen steps apart, Han Dang concentrated and suddenly spread the bowstring, the longbow trembled under the huge force, and the arrow from the string suddenly shot out towards Hu Zhen.

Seeing the arrow shooting, Han Dang didn't say much, turned his longbow into the bag, pulled out the ring knife on his waist with a bang, and shouted: "Liangzhou dog is dead!" ”

Almost immediately following the sound of shouting, he slammed into the hastily formed formation of the enemy army as soon as he rode on.

Hu Zhen was still on guard against enemy arrows under the chaos of the surprise attack, and when he heard his subordinates exclaim, it was too late, and he hurriedly watched the arrows shoot towards his neck, and he could only raise his spear instinctively to stop the arrows.

If he had made a slightly wider sword, he might have been able to block the arrow, but how could a spear as thick as a child's wrist be able to stop it, followed by a strong blow to his arm, and a sharp pain came from it.

Although he blocked the deadly arrow, the arrow pierced his left arm into the elbow connected to the armor, and the whole arm seemed to be removed, and the slightest movement made the back sweat.

At the moment, Hu Zhen was injured in the arm and did not dare to drive his horse forward, so he hurriedly hit the horse backwards to avoid the forward, and constantly let his soldiers and horses wait forward for battle.

Although Han Dang's momentum was brave, he was also under unrivaled pressure when he engaged, and suddenly a dozen spears pierced him, which made him feel terrified.

At this moment, the Jiangdong soldiers in the rear pursued, each like a tiger into a wolf pack, and the stumps and broken arms rolled into a piece.

Han Dang heard his subordinates shouting behind him: "Sima takes the knife!" ”

Start with a heavy long knife, and the killing is even more invincible!
