Chapter 41 Sun Wentai's defeat
Sun Jian's army attacked for three days, and more than 6,000 soldiers were killed or injured. Sun Jian himself also put on his armor and took arrows to urge the soldiers to attack the city. However, three days later, Sishui Pass remained unmoved.
The three-day strong attack made Sun Jianjun exhausted. On this day, the soldiers fell asleep after a day of fierce fighting. The inside and outside of the military camp were very quiet, making it hard to imagine that this place was a battlefield of bloody fighting.
Sun Jian sat in the commander's tent, standing on the left and right with four generals under his command. At this time, Sun Jian frowned and looked very annoyed.
"This Hua Xiong is like a turtle! No matter how I challenge him, he can only hold on! In the three-day strong attack, our army paid a huge price but failed to leverage the Sishui Pass in the slightest!"
Cheng Pu stepped out and said, "Lord, this is not a solution. I believe the lord understands the offensive and defensive situation. If this continues, this will be very unfavorable to our army!"
As soon as Cheng Pu finished speaking, Huang Gai also came out and said: "Lord, what Demou said is very true. If we continue to consume this, we are afraid that our army will not be able to capture the Sishui Pass even if we fight. It is better to suspend the attack and challenge it every day."
The four of them stared at Sun Jian in the position of coach, waiting for his decision.
Sun Jian frowned. He understood that his subordinates' suggestions were correct, but he could not swallow this.
After a while, Sun Jian said, "I will consider this matter again. It's getting late, you all go down and rest."
"My lord, please rest early, we will leave." The four of them bowed and retreated.
After the four of them left, Sun Jian sighed at the night sky outside the tent, then blew out the oil cup and clothes and lay down.
Just as Sun Jian was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly heard a shocking shout of killing outside the tent. Sun Jian was shocked and jumped off the couch. He quickly took the ancient ingot knife on the weapon stand and then ran out of the handsome tent.
Sun Jian looked at it and saw a flash of fire not far away. With the light of fire, Sun Jian saw countless Dong Zhuo soldiers rushing in from outside the village and setting fires everywhere, while his soldiers were unfavorable to fight and retreated step by step.
Sun Jian had no time to think about it and rushed up to fight. At this moment, Han Dang and Huang Gai ran over with weapons.
"Lord. Hua Xiong led his army to sneak attack in, and our army could no longer resist it." Han Dang said angrily.
When Sun Jian saw the two of them coming beside him, he was immediately happy and said, "Two generals, follow me to kill Hua Xiong."
Then the three of them led hundreds of soldiers to the gate of the village.
Sun Jian's army retreated step by step under the sudden attack of Hua Xiong's army. When he was about to collapse, Sun Jian led two generals to kill him. The soldiers of Hua Xiong's army who were rushing in front were immediately killed and overwhelmed.
Seeing Sun Jian arrive, the morale of the Sun Jian soldiers who were fighting hard was greatly improved, and they began to fight against Hua Xiong's army fiercely in an instant.
Sun Jian was called the Jiangdong tiger, and this title was not for nothing. Sun Jian took the lead, and an ancient ingot knife in his hand flew up and down, and the cold light was as bright as frost and snow. The soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army who were close to him were swept into the sword light and then died of blood. On the left was the yellow whip with the iron whip, and on the right was Han Dang. The three of them formed a sharp attack triangle and led the Xiang Chu soldiers to continuously squeeze Dong Zhuo's army. Under the fierce counterattack of Sun Jian's army, Dong Zhuo's army gradually became unstoppable.
It was about to drive Dong Zhuojun, who rushed into the Dazhai. However, at this moment, a thrilling shout of killing suddenly sounded behind the Dazhai. A Dong Zhuojun suddenly launched an attack from behind the village.
Sun Jian's army's attention was all before the Dazhai, and there was no defense at all against the back. Under the sudden fierce attack by Dong Zhuo's army, Sun Jian's army could not resist it at all and was soon defeated.
Dong Zhuo's army rushed into the big village, killing people everywhere and setting fires as if entering a nobody's land.
Dong Zhuo's army rushed into the Dazhai from the back village and rushed straight to the gate of the village, which soon made Dong Zhuo's army in front attack Sun Jian.
At this time, Sun Jian and his two generals were unable to resist the enemy no matter how brave they were. After a melee, Sun Jian and his generals were finally defeated, and Sun Jian and his generals were dispersed by the riots.
Sun Jian stepped on the war horse and fled eastward in panic. At this time, a Dong Zhuo army, led by General Hu Zhen, chased Sun Jian over.
Sun Jian ran and shot arrows backwards, but unfortunately none of them hit the opponent. Sun Jian fired another arrow, and this time he used too much force and pulled the magpie's bow. In desperation, Sun Jian had to throw away the bow and arrow.
After running for more than ten miles, the war horse Sun Jian suddenly stepped into a shallow pit, then fell forward and threw Sun Jian out.
Sun Jian quickly got up to lead the war horse. At this time, Sun Jian discovered that the front hooves of the war horse were broken and could not run any longer.
At this time, Hu Zhen's pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Sun Jian was already at a loss.
Sun Jian's eyes sternly, showing a determined look, and he held the ancient ingot knife in his right hand and stood in the way. Sun Jian was planning to fight to the death.
Hu Zhenjun soon arrived in front of him. Hu Zhen did not let his subordinates attack immediately because he wanted to catch the alive.
After asking the soldiers to surround Sun Jian, Hu Zhen said to Sun Jian: "You have no way to escape at this time. If you want to survive, abandon your sword and surrender!" When speaking, Hu Zhen did not step forward, but hid behind the soldiers. Because Hu Zhen knew that Sun Jian was brave, he was worried that Sun Jian would kill him with all his might.
Sun Jian raised his eyebrows and pointed a knife at Hu Zhen and scolded: "I miss me, Sun Jian, a hero for life! How can I surrender to you, a traitor! Stop talking nonsense, come and take my head if you have the ability!"
Hu Zhen was furious when he heard this and immediately ordered all the troops to come forward, without the need to capture Sun Jian alive.
However, at this moment, countless cavalry rushed towards this side under the night. Hu Zhen and his troops were stunned for a moment. With the faint moonlight, Hu Zhen was shocked to find that this cavalry was not his Dong Zhuo army.
Under the faint moonlight, on the battle flag, there was a fierce word "Zhenbei".Zhenbei Army!? Hu Zhen was immediately frightened. Before the generals left Luoyang, Li Ru had once told him: Under no circumstances should he fight against theZhenbei Army in the field. At this time, Hu Zhen had only one thought in his mind, that was to quickly escape back to Sishui Pass.
But can he escape?
Ten thousand iron cavalry swept over with thunder. Dong Zhuojun, who was extremely frightened, was immediately killed. Hu Zhen, who was fleeing in panic, ran out a few miles before being chased by a red face and beard holding a big sword. He was slashed into two pieces by a general with a long beard and beard holding a big sword.
Seeing the Iron Cavalry of Zhengbei chased and killed the remaining enemies on the battlefield, Sun Jian, who had just walked at the gate of hell for a long time, couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was so strong all his life, but he didn't expect that he would have to rely on others to save his life in the end.
"What do you call this general?" Sun Jian asked in front of the powerful general with a red face and long beard.
The general held his fists and said, "I am Guan Yu, the general under General Zhengbei."
"It turned out to be General Guan. Today, General Guan thanks to his rescue, otherwise I, Sun Wentai, would have died at the hands of a villain." Sun Jian said with emotion.
Guan Yu ordered his subordinates to bring a war horse and hand it over to Sun Jian, and then said, "It's not the time to speak yet. General Sun invites the war horse. We will go back to the army immediately to kill Dong Zhuo's army!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes lit up, "Okay! I'm just thinking this way!"
Then Sun Jian stepped onto the war horse and led 10,000 iron cavalry to the big village under Sishui Pass.
After Dong Zhuojun defeated Sun Jian's army, he set fire and robbed various supplies. No one would have thought of any danger at this time.
Just as Dong Zhuo's army was looting everywhere in chaos, ten thousand iron cavalry suddenly rushed out of the night. Guan Yu divided the cavalry under his command into ten teams and strangled them to assault.
The unexpected Dong Zhuojun was killed immediately, and the body was covered with blood flowing all over the field.
Dong Zhuo's army was not interested in fighting, and under the leadership of Li Su and others, he retreated into Sishui Pass in a panic. Guan Yu led his army to chase and kill until he reached the Sishui Pass. It's a pity that it was only a little late, otherwise Guan Yu would have led his army to rush into Sishui Pass.
With the arrows and stones on the pass, Guan Yu had to lead his army back.
After Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, Sun Jian's army, which had been dispersed, gathered together one after another. Until dawn, all four generals under Sun Jian's command came back, which made Sun Jian feel very pleased. However, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers left under Sun Jian.
The battle situation at Sishui Pass quickly reached the central army of the coalition. Yuan Shao looked at the battle report and was startled first, then happy. He was shocked that Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong, would be defeated, and happy that the ten thousand cavalry sent by Chen Chu joined the battlefield at a critical moment, and finally helped Sun Jian turn the defeat into victory.
"Fortunately, there were 10,000 cavalry sent by my virtuous brother to support him. Otherwise, Sun Wentai's defeat would inevitably lead to the frustration of our army." Yuan Shao was very happy to say to Chen Chu. In order to bring in the relationship with Chen Chu, Yuan Shao even changed his name. Chen Chu didn't care about this, but Zhang Fei next to him was very upset. He stared at his eyes, as if he wanted to beat Yuan Shao.
Chen Chu smiled slightly, "Leader of the Alliance, our main force should accelerate its advance and must arrive at Sishui Pass as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be a chance of change."
Yuan Shao nodded happily and then ordered: "Tell the princes to all the troops. Accelerate the march and must arrive at Sishui Pass as soon as possible."
Seven days later, the army of all the princes arrived at the Sishui Pass.
Set up a formation and the princes discussed how to attack Sishui Pass in the big tent.
Just at this moment, the scout came to report that the enemy general Hua Xiong was challenging in front of the formation.
Yuan Shao looked around the princes and asked disrespectfully: "Who is willing to go and fight against the enemy general Hua Xiong?"
A general behind Yuan Shu immediately walked out and stood under the tent and said, "The young general is willing to go." The general is named Yu She, who is a famous general in Huainan, and is second only to Ji Ling under Yuan Shu's command.
When Yuan Shao saw Yu She take action, he immediately agreed happily.
Yu She then walked out of the tent, and the follower who had been waiting aside immediately presented a big knife to pull the war horse. Yu She lifted the sword and rode out of the army formation, and the sound of war drums in the army formation cheered him.
However, after a moment, the sound of war drums stopped, and all the princes in the commander's tent were slightly surprised. Only one of them knew it well, and this person was Chen Chu. He didn't have to look at it to know that Yu She must have been killed by Hua Xiong.
A moment later, the scout came to report that Yu She and Hua Xiong were killed by Hua Xiong in less than three rounds.
The princes were shocked when they heard this, only Chen Chu looked as usual.
At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look at Hua Xiong with admiration.
Yuan Shao glanced at everyone with a serious expression. Just as he was about to speak, Han Fu stepped out and said, "I have General Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong."
