Chapter 12 Bad News
All the eighteen princes were independent figures, and among them Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, was the most dazzling hero at the moment. Sun Jian led his 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers into Sishui Pass first, and the troops pointed directly at Luoyang. 30,000 horses were there.
There was a long journey on the official road to Luoyang, and Sun Jian wanted to be the first prince to enter Luoyang.
Sun Jian has a strong physique, a short beard on the chin, thick eyebrows and a square face. He is quite heroic. He rides a yellow gelding, wears a red tassel helmet, is wrapped in silver armor, has a white cloak on his shoulders, and carries an ancient knife, bow and arrow on his waist.
He was followed by three trusted generals on horseback, namely Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai. There was also Zu Mao, but he was beheaded by Hua Xiong when he fought against Hua Xiong not long ago!
Sun Jian was followed by three young men. Although the eldest one was not as young as Weak Guan, he was very heroic. He was wearing a suit of armor and carrying a spear, just like a young general;
They are also skilled in horseback riding; the youngest one is obviously a girl, but she has the temperament of a woman who is not inferior to men. She wears a tight leather armor, carries a sword on her waist, and carries a bird-painted bow on her back that is bigger than her.
Circle. These three young men whose appearance and temperament are far better than ordinary people are Sun Jian's three proud children, namely Sun Ce, Sun Quan and Sun Ren. Sun Jian took these three brothers and sisters on the expedition in order to expose them to war from an early age.
edification.
Thousands of cavalry surrounded them, their iron hooves rolling, making a thunderous sound. More than 20,000 infantry followed closely behind.
Not long after running, the sentry cavalry from the front came to report that three princes, Wang Kuang, Gongsun Zan and Bao Xin, were leading an army to fight fiercely with Lu Bu's army. Wang Kuang, Gongsun Zan and others came in from Hulao Pass and had more cavalry, so they rushed
In front of Sun Jian.
Sun Jian felt a little surprised, "Why are Lu Bu's troops still there?" He turned to the generals beside him and said, "Let's go! Go and have a look!" After saying that, he rode out, and the three brothers and sisters and the generals quickly followed.
Soon after, thousands of riders came to a hill and saw a fierce battle on the plain. A general wearing an animal mask, Tang Nijia, carrying a Fangtian painted halberd and riding a red rabbit horse, and another wearing black iron
A fierce general in heavy armor and holding a broadsword is leading thousands of cavalry in a fierce battle with the more than 60,000 troops of three princes. Thousands of cavalry are like thousands of tigers, galloping on horseback, roaring to the sky, in the midst of an enemy army that is ten times their size.
Going back and forth! The nearly 60,000 troops of the three princes were actually killed by thousands of the opponent's cavalry. They were frightened and confused, falling piece by piece under the spears of the opponent's cavalry! The most eye-catching one was the man riding a red rabbit horse holding Fang Tian.
The general who drew his halberd saw him rushing at the front, and there was not a single general in his path. It was like entering a deserted place!
Everyone was shocked. Huang Gai said in disbelief: "Looking at this posture, the three princes may not be able to hold on any longer!"
"Dad, let's join the battle!" | Sun Ce said with a longing expression, holding a spear.
Sun Jian pursed his lips tightly, pulled out the ancient ingot sword, and raised it high. Thousands of cavalrymen stared at the ancient ingot sword in his hand, and the war blood in their bodies was already boiling.
Gu Ding Dao pointed forward suddenly, "Charge with me!"
Roar! Thousands of people shouted in unison, swarmed down the hillside, and charged fiercely towards Zhang Langjun's flank.
At this moment, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei intercepted Zhang Lang and started fighting with Zhang Liao.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Lang immediately broke away from the battle and led Zhang Liao and thousands of cavalry to retreat towards Luoyang.
The army of the princes chased for a while, but when they saw that they could not catch up, they stopped. Sun Ce asked unwillingly: "Dad, why don't you chase them? We have cavalry and can catch up with them!" Sun Jian shook his head and said nothing. The veteran Cheng Pu said to him
Sun Ce said: "Young Master, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are brave and hard to defeat, and the thousands of cavalry under their command are elites in hundreds of battles. Even if we catch up with the thousands of cavalry, it will be difficult to win!"
Sun Ce was not convinced, but said nothing more.
Sun Ren stretched his neck and looked into the distance, and curiously asked Huang Gai on the side: "Uncle Huang, is the general holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji just now Lu Bu?"
Huang Gai nodded and said, "Miss, that person is Lu Bu!"
Sun Ren recalled Zhang Lang's invincible appearance just now, and couldn't help but admire him: "I have long heard that 'Lu Bu is among men, and the red rabbit is among horses'. Today, when I see him, he is indeed well-deserved!"
Sun Ce turned around and snorted coldly: "Huh! What's called 'Lu Bu among men and the red rabbit among horses'? He is clearly a shameless rat who only seeks glory! I will definitely take his head in the future!"
Sun Ren frowned. She felt that her elder brother was right, and secretly sighed: What a pity for such an invincible martial arts!
Sun Jian took his generals and children to meet with the three princes. Bao Xin said happily: "If Brother Wentai hadn't arrived in time, we would have been defeated!" Wang Kuang said with emotion: "Lü Bu is really a tiger and a wolf.
!”
Sun Ce, who was standing behind Sun Jian, sneered.
Sun Jian clasped his fists and said: "Brothers, although Lu Bu is fierce, he is at the end of his rope. We should not give him a chance to breathe!" The three of them were frightened by Zhang Lang's attack. They nodded and clasped their fists together and said: "Wen
Tai Yonglie, please be the vanguard!" Sun Jian nodded, clasped his fists and said: "Brothers, please give me the command of your cavalry for the time being!" The three of them looked at each other, and Gongsun Zan was the first to say: "I will give my five thousand men to my command.
Give the cavalry to Wentai." Seeing this, the other two people expressed their willingness to hand over the cavalry to Sun Jian. Then the four returned to the army.
Sun Ce looked back at the princes in the distance and mocked: "They are all rats!"
Sun Jian smiled coldly and said to Cheng Pu: "De Mou, you lead the infantry behind to hold down the formation. You don't have to march very fast. Once Lu Bu comes to attack, immediately form a formation to fight!" "That's your order!" Cheng Pu promised with his fists clasped.
Sun Jian glanced at the others and said, "The rest will follow me and lead the cavalry to pursue Lu Bu!"
"promise!"
Sun Jian led thousands of cavalrymen from Jiangdong and the 10,000 cavalrymen temporarily entrusted to him by the other three princes as the vanguard, and the other troops followed behind. Due to the sudden attack by the cavalrymen led by Zhang Lang, all the troops were
The marching speed is not very fast, and the cavalry as the vanguard are only slightly faster than the infantry.
After Zhang Lang led the cavalry to retreat, they all returned to Luoyang. At this moment, there was a strange atmosphere in Luoyang City. Zhang Lang understood that most of the people in the city and almost all the aristocratic families were eager for the coalition of princes to enter the city quickly!
Zhang Lang sat down on the city gate tower. Zhang Liao Hou Cheng stood on the left and right sides. Zhang Lang first asked Hou Cheng: "How far have the people walked?"
Hou Cheng reported back: "It's already sixty miles away!"
Zhang Lang frowned, "Too slow!" He looked at Zhang Liao, "How long will it take for the coalition of princes to arrive?"
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "They are afraid of being beaten by the general! They are not moving fast! Even the forward cavalry led by Sun Jian can only reach sixty miles per day! It will take two days to get to Luoyang! When we get to Luoyang, even if we have to continue to pursue westward, at least
We have to stay for a day or two! With these few days, the people should be able to escape!"
Zhang Lang nodded.
A messenger rushed in in a panic and reported urgently: "The cavalry of the general, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan suddenly attacked the westward moving team!..."
Zhang Lang was shocked, got down from his seat, and asked anxiously: "Is my wife like this?"
The messenger swallowed, shook his head and said, "I don't know! But, but..."
"But what?"
"There is news from the front that many ministers died in the rebellion and countless women and property were taken away!"
