Chapter 56: Pursuing Dong Zhuo (12)
& Thanks to the ASPE brothers for the tip!
Such a terrifying cavalry assault charge made the morale of the Xiliang army, which had nothing to say about morale, collapse immediately, and the soldiers of the Xiliang army who survived by luck and had not yet faced the iron cavalry of the Cao army began to collapse.
However, in the face of the rout of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, the black-clothed and black-armored Cao Army Iron Cavalry did not let them go in the slightest, following the cone charge, the Cao Army Iron Cavalry was divided into a small group of shock army formations, and a team of black-armored Cao Army Iron Cavalry, on this avenue, in the dust, back and forth, the screams of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who killed sounded one after another.
Looking at the murderous spirit, hidden in the flying dust from time to time, like the Cao Jun iron cavalry running back and forth between light and darkness, looking at the blood light reflected by the bonfire and the cold light reflected by the blade, and listening to the terrible screams that kept ringing in their ears, the officials of the court who had not yet reacted completely came back to their senses.
These courtiers who came back to their senses, under the fear of fear, did not need to be held hostage by the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and one by one they turned pale and fled to the rear.
The chaos in front of him, at this time, was finally transmitted to the rear, and Dong Zhuo, who heard that Cao Jun had been chasing, did not say a word, and summoned the second general Li Dao and Guo Yan, and said angrily: "Come on, take these two people down to our family, drag them down and put them to death!" ”
& What crime have the country, the prime minister, the last general, etc., committed that they should be punished with this punishment? ”
Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were caught red-handed by Dong Zhuo's personal guards, were shocked and frightened in their hearts, compared to Guo Yan who was already frightened and speechless, Li Dao was not a little bit better than that, and he had the courage to ask out loud.
However, Li Dao, who came out to speak, also became a bird, and suddenly concentrated Dong Zhuo's anger, only to see Dong Zhuo come to Li Dao, raise his foot, kick him in the chest, and said angrily: "You still have the courage to ask, our family asks you, Cao Cao, that thief, hasn't he been defeated by you and returned defeated, why did he chase here so quickly, you deceived our family, disregarded the grace of the saint, our family killed you, what else do you have to say!" ”
& Country, Xiangguo, the last general, how dare you deceive Xiangguo! ”
Li Wei broke free of the hands of the Xiliang soldiers behind him, threw himself at Dong Zhuo's feet, and kept kowtowing and said: "Xiangguo, this time, although it is Cao Cao who leads the troops, but its soldiers are definitely not the original Cao army. ”
& Some of the coalition bandits in the Kanto region? ”
Seeing that Dong Zhuo seemed to be a little shaken, Li Dao was secretly happy in his heart, and said even harder on his face: "It must be like this, Xiangguo, think about it, if the last general and others did not defeat Cao Jun, then what happened to those heads presented to Xiangguo, not to mention, Xiangguo, the situation is critical at this time, if the thieves of the Kanto region really attack, this place is very dangerous, and I hope that Xiangguo will leave quickly, after arriving in Chang'an, Xiangguo wants to deal with the last general, and the last general will have no complaints!" ”
At this time, Li Dao's demeanor and tone are simply a loyal and courageous minister, a good courtier, it is enough to make any person hesitate in his heart about his judgment of Li Dao, Dong Zhuo is the same, of course, he will hesitate, it is not that Dong Zhuo was moved by Li Dao, but that Dong Zhuo has a new idea.
Dong Zhuo, in addition to being tyrannical and unreasonable, is also more rigid and self-serving, self-respecting, as long as he decides and thinks it is the right thing, there is almost no possibility to change.
If Li Ru is here, there is still a glimmer of possibility, after all, Dong Zhuo still values and listens to Li Ru, a man who helps him, from a small Xiliang warlord all the way to the powerful son-in-law who is now powerful in the world.
It's a pity that Li Ru left for the defense of Hangu Pass, so after the person who didn't say anything beside him at this time could remind Dong Zhuo and make him listen, Dong Zhuo came according to his own understanding.
In his opinion, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not so bold to dare to deceive themselves, since they don't believe that they will be deceived, then the only possibility, that is, the coalition forces in Kwantung, have attacked on a large scale, instead of Cao Cao chasing alone as before.
In this way, it makes sense why Cao Cao arrived here so quickly at this time. Why did the Xiliang army in front collapse before they could resist for long, after all, they were facing an allied army with hundreds of thousands of people, and as for their collapse without a fight, Dong Zhuo didn't believe it at all.
Dong Zhuo, who was completely convinced of the attack of the allied army in his heart, in order not to die here and let his emperor's dream be shattered, issued an order to make the Xiliang army completely defeated: "Our family believes you for the time being, you immediately go to pass on our family's order, let everyone, abandon a qiē property, armor, and blades, travel lightly, and immediately flee to Hangu Pass, if necessary, you can use the lives of those people to block the pursuit of the thieves!" ”
& Command! ”
After Li Wei hugged his fists and responded, he looked at Guo Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said with some hesitation: "Xiangguo, you see if this is the case, do you give General Guo ······?"
After Dong Zhuo glanced at Guo Yan, he waved his hand, signaling the Xiliang soldiers behind him, let go of Guo Yan, Guo Yan who escaped from death, for Li Wei, who can be said to have saved his life, he is grateful and jealous, grateful that he saved himself, but he is jealous, Li Dao is in the limelight in front of Dong Zhuo, among the two feelings, there is more jealousy.
That is, the cause planted today, reaped the fruits of Li Guo and the two of them completely becoming the trend of fire and water in the future.
After Dong Zhuo's order was issued, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were originally still because of the cruel military order, although they did not resist the Cao army to the death, but also did not dare to run away blatantly, completely lost their hesitation, and unloaded the Xiliang soldiers who could be unloaded and threw away the things that could be thrown away, and fled towards the rear in a panic.
And on the road, if you encounter the pursuit of Cao Jun's iron cavalry, if there are people around you, you will block the people, and if there are officials, you will block the officials, and if the people do not have and the officials do not, then take the Xiliang soldiers who are a member of the Xiliang army at the same time, and their former comrades-in-arms will block.
Looking down from the sky, you can see that in a wilderness, like a thunderous roar, the black Cao army iron horseman, who is only a few thousand, is like a black torrent, chasing tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, wolf bèi fled, wailing and screaming, this scene can be described as shocking.
Two hours later, Cao Jun's iron cavalry finally stopped the pursuit, although Dong Zhuo finally escaped, but in this battle, Cao Jun killed and injured 20,000 people of the Xiliang Army, not to mention the huge wealth that was left by Dong Zhuo, representing the huge wealth accumulated in the Luoyang Imperial Capital for two hundred years.
