Chapter 1112 The Battle of Tongguan Eighth

Cao Cao walked up to the military stronghold step by step, stepping on the blood. The battlefield had already gone silent, and there was only a piece of bewitching blood left everywhere, corpses and arms...

"Lord!"

Cao Chun came up from behind, and bowed his hands in salute: "The Bingzhou army has withdrawn twenty miles away, and the tiger and leopard cavalry suffered a lot of casualties, so I dare not chase them lightly!"

"Let them go!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said calmly, "A Lu Fengxian is nothing!"

He glanced at the looming Tongguan in the distance, and then asked Cao Chun, "Zihe, what are the casualties of the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

This is the most elite cavalry under his command. On the battlefield in the first battle, it was the most elite wolf cavalry in Bingzhou who fought. Even Cao Cao didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"[-] damage!"

"So many?" Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy: "What about the results?"

Cao Chun gritted his teeth, not daring to answer.

"Say!"

Cao Cao let out a low cry.

"Eight hundred enemies!" Cao Chun lowered his proud head and said in a low voice.

"Eight hundred for one thousand and two!"

Cao Cao sighed, but did not appear disappointed.

how to say?

The cavalry of the Central Plains was originally inferior to the cavalry of the frontier, and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou was an elite soldier and horse fighting against the nomadic cavalry on the battlefield. A lot of experience in actual combat.

Moreover, although the tiger and leopard cavalry he formed cost him countless food and fodder, this was still the first battle.

He is already very happy to have such a result.

"Not bad!"

Cao Cao spit out two words, looked at Cao Chun, and said, "Zihe, you fought very well in this battle, but in the future, a certain family hopes that you can have even better results. Let a certain family know that we will Central Plains cavalry, do not lose to their frontier cavalry!"

"promise!"

Cao Chun responded heavily: "I will never lose to any cavalry in a certain day!"

"Lord!"

Guo Jia came up, wearing a long robe, stepping over one corpse after another, not affected by the tragic battlefield at all, his face as calm as ever, said: "Lu Bu has withdrawn from our attack range, he detoured south, If Huashan is gone, there will be no reinforcements for Xiliang's main force!"

"Then don't wait!"

Cao Cao ordered, saying: "Tell Ju Yi and Sun Jian that the main forces of Xiliang will be encircled and suppressed immediately!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

....................................

Inside Tongguan, it was a little quiet.

This kind of quiet is not really quiet, but the oppressive quiet before the war.

"Lu Bu withdrew?"

Standing on the city wall, Dong Zhuo held the hilt of his sword in his hand, his eyes were like a tiger, scanning the distance, and asked lightly.

"Already withdrawn?"

"That road, is it secret?"

"No one should have discovered it. If we didn't build Tongguan, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to know that road!" Li Ru thought for a while: "I'm a little worried now!"

"worry about what?"

"Will Lu Bu come back?" Li Ru asked softly.

"meeting!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "I trust him!"

"Then I hope he can live up to my lord's trust!" Li Ru took a deep breath.

"I'm leaving the city with the main force tonight!"

Dong Zhuo said.

"promise!"

Li Ru nodded and said, "Tongguan's defense is still too weak, or..."

"Leave the young and strong in the [-] levels, and hand them over to the emperor!"

"Heaven!"

"Yes!" Dong Zhuo said, "It's for the Son of Heaven, the people of Guanzhong, he should dare to use it, as long as he dares to use it!"

"What if he wants to open the door?"

Li Ru said darkly: "This possibility is not impossible. The Son of Heaven has great hopes for the heroes of the Kanto region. He also expects these people to serve as kings and get him out of the hands of the Lord!"

"If he chooses this way, then don't blame someone for being cruel and ruthless, and just take it all at once!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "There is no emperor in the world!"

Li Ru's eyes lit up hotly, but soon dimmed...

At this time, it is definitely not the time to proclaim the emperor.

Son of Heaven, still can't be killed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will defend Tongguan City. As long as I can hold it, my lord must not move. We only have one chance. Whether we can defeat them depends on whether my lord can hold his breath!"

Li Ru cupped his hands and said.

"Do not worry!"

Dong Zhuo said lightly: "I know the importance, this battle is related to the future of my Xiliang, I, Xiliang, must not be defeated!"

……

dong dong dong! ! ! ! !
Under Tongguan City, the sound of beating drums sounded one after another. The sound waves overlapped and deafened, as if they wanted to envelop the world with the sound of these drums.

The sound of war drums ignited the fire in the hearts of every soldier.

"Why is there such a majestic pass here?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

This aspect is a pass that was pulled up overnight. This pass did not exist before, but it is undeniable that this pass is surrounded by mountains. The scenery is picturesque, but it is extremely dangerous.

"Could it be that Dong Zhuo was blessed by the gods to build a majestic pass here!"

Sun Jian also gritted his teeth.

In the past, there was no pass here. The east gate of Guandong was Hulao Pass, and when we came again, it was Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass was a pass in the pre-Qin period. .

But there is no pass from Luoyang to Chang'an.

This sudden pass made them very surprised.

"Such a pass, if you want to attack by force, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Ju Yi felt a little gloomy in his heart.

He is single and weak, so he will definitely be regarded as a pioneer. How many people have to fill in such a majestic pass to take it down.

"attack!"

Cao Cao is now in a difficult position to ride a tiger. This battle must be fought. He can't send his troops to the city, but return in a sad state. This will affect the morale of the coalition army and defeat the morale of the coalition army.

So at this time, you can only fight.

"Order Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan to attack!"

Cao Cao did not regard Yuan Jun in Jizhou as the vanguard as Ju Yi thought, and let his main force attack first.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Cao Jun's [-] main force suddenly pressed up.

This is to take what you want and give it first.

Cao Cao knew very well that if he wanted them to listen to him in this battle, he first lowered his stance. Only in this way could he gain their trust and make them contribute instead of intrigue.

On the city wall, Li Ru pointed at the bottom of the city, and said calmly: "General Li Que, General Guo Si, you must defend this place. Only by defending this place can we have a future in Xiliang!"

"Yes!"

Li Que and Guo Si hand over their hands and take orders.

"Archers, shoot 'em!"

"Smashing stones!"

"Smash the log down!"

The two soldiers and horses started desperately.

The Xiliang Army invested a total of [-] troops, but faced with a defensive position, they were still overwhelmed by Cao Jun...

Among the Xiliang army, many young and strong people from Guanzhong joined in, which can indeed strengthen Xiliang's troops, but relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness will also be weakened. Logically speaking, [-] soldiers and horses are on the defensive. All the main forces can't get in.

But in less than five hours, a line of defense was torn apart by Cao Jun's main force, and he almost broke in.

This forced the Xiliang Army to increase its troops.

…………

In Guancheng.

Tatata! ! ! !

The sound of footsteps coming in one after another made Liu Xie a little uneasy.

"Wang Situ, how is the front line?"

Liu Xie couldn't bear it and asked Wang Yun.

Wang Yun naturally kept his eyes on the front and focused on the battle. He cupped his hands and said, "The Xiliang army is so fragrant that it can't hold on any longer. Now it is sending more troops to Guancheng!"

"Kandong princes, are they so powerful?"

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is the first day of offensive!"

"I don't know the specific situation!"

Wang Yun shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate Dong's prowess on the battlefield. This beast may not be a talent for governing the country, but he is indeed a member of a mighty general. On the battlefield, his ferocity is rarely matched by anyone in the world!"

"Then shall we..."

There was a bloody light in Liu Xie's eyes.

"No!"

Wang Yun glanced around, and said to Liu Xie in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you can only be the winner if you can bear it. You remember, no matter the princes of the world or the Dong thief, they are all enemies of the court. If they can't let them fight, How can the world return to its heart!"

"Although this statement is good, it always feels a little inappropriate!"

Liu Xie said in a low voice: "Wang Situ, we have no troops, how can we clean up the mess!"

"There will be troops!"

Wang Yun said confidently.

"Report!" There was a sound from outside.

"Who is it?" Wang Yun asked on behalf of the emperor.

"Report to Master Situ, Jia Xu, the chief secretary of the Grand Master's Mansion, asks to see him!"

"Let him in!"

Naturally, Wang Yun knew that Jia Xu was the one responsible for keeping an eye on Liu Xie. As long as he was not ready to turn against Dong Zhuo directly, he could only support Jia Xu.

"Jia Xu pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Jia Xu walked in, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, the Grand Master dispatched [-] elite soldiers to defend His Majesty's safety!"

"Now the grand master is fighting for the court, working hard, how can he be worried about me!"

Liu Xie's eyes turned slightly, but he soon regained his composure. He said calmly, "I have the guards from the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Wu Ti cavalry by my side, which is enough!"

"Now the bandit army is fierce and breaks through the city repeatedly. Although the court king tried his best to resist, there are too many bandits and we have few sons. The city wall is in danger. Your Majesty's safety is the safety of the court. We must guard against it!"

Jia Xu said: "Moreover, these ten thousand soldiers and horses are young and strong men from Guanzhong who have been conscripted. They are all warriors, and they will surely protect your Majesty's safety!"

"Guanzhong is young and strong?"

Liu Xie's pupils changed slightly, which surprised him a bit.

Wang Yun's expression also moved slightly.

If it is Xiliang soldiers and horses, then it is necessary to monitor them and even take them on the road at critical times, which is not good for them.

But Guanzhong is young and strong...

That would be completely different, using Guan Zhong Erlang to guard them, it would be a matter of meat buns beating dogs, and there would be no return.

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield, there are dangers everywhere. The grand master fights for the imperial court, and he will never regret it until he dies. However, his majesty shoulders the future of the imperial court and must not make any mistakes. For the sake of the world and the imperial court, your majesty must accept the grand master's kindness! "

Jia Xu said.

"I am ashamed of the grand master's heart. Wang Situ, although I don't spare myself, I can't let the grand master down. If so, let Sima Fang accept it!" Liu Xie thought for a while, Said.

Although he couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd, he believed that as long as he was a soldier in Guanzhong, he could follow suit and expand his power as a soldier.

Over the years, he has deeply understood a truth.

In this troubled world, no one can believe it, including Wang Yun. Does Wang Yun have no thoughts of his own? There must be, but he may not respect him. There is even a third choice. Put me on the throne.

Only in command of soldiers is the most practical thing.

"promise!"

Wang Yun took the order and walked out.

"Your Majesty is always busy, so I will take my leave first!" Jia Xu also bowed his hands and wanted to leave.

"Master Jia, please stop!"

Liu Xie spoke suddenly and kept Jia Xu.

"I wonder if His Majesty has any other orders?" Jia Xu asked.

"It's not an order!"

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I just want to know how some of the battles on the front line are going. The grand master poured out his king's teacher to fight against the rebels for the court. I am very worried about the safety of the grand master. In the past, the grand master greeted him every day, but now I don't see the grand master." Master's trace, whether Grand Master is injured, if so, I will go and see in person!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the grand master is brave, and he will not be injured by the mere rebels. It's just that today's battle is tense, and the main force of the rebels is attacking. The intention is your majesty. The grand master can only fight bloody battles, and he is useless!"

Jia Xu thought about it for a while, and said: "When the grand master repells the enemy army, I should personally ask His Majesty for my crimes and say hello!"

"Since I have the peace of the Grand Master, I also feel at ease!"

Liu Xie smiled, and then said: "If I am not successful in civil and military affairs, it will be difficult for me to go to the battlefield. I will shoulder the responsibility of the grand master on the battlefield. I hope the grand master will cherish himself. I also hope that I can get the help of the grand master in the future. Share country!"

"Your Majesty cares for me, and the words of the minister will remain unchanged, and I will inherit it from the Grand Master!"

Jia Xu said respectfully.

After Jia Xu left, Liu Xie's complexion suddenly changed and became a little dark. He shook all the four treasures of the study on the desk, then stood up, walked to the door, and looked into the distance. Feeling impulsive, wanting to watch the battle in person.

Because he always felt that something was wrong.

But I can't figure out what it is.

Although he was in the pass, but he was cut off by Dong Zhuo, he didn't know much about the affairs inside the pass, and it was difficult to find out any news about the Xiliang Army.

About half an hour later, Wang Yun came back.

He reported and said: "Your Majesty, you are really a son of Guan Zhong. As long as you need some time, you will definitely be able to use it for us!"

"Wang Situ, we only have a few thousand soldiers, so we won't let Xiliang fear in the pass, but Dong thief sent us [-] soldiers, what's the point?" Liu Xie couldn't figure it out.

"I can't figure it out either!"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly: "Maybe..."

He was a little skeptical, but the Guanzhong soldiers and Xiliang soldiers were too easy to divide. The young and strong recruited from Guanzhong all had a lot of vitality. They were caught among the Xiliang elite soldiers and could only be forced to go to the battlefield. But if you give it to them, it will be easy to be bought by them.

He really couldn't figure out what Dong Zhuo's plan was.

"Maybe what?"

"Maybe Dong Thief has a plan that we can't think of, and his plan requires a premise!"

"What premise!"

"We have the power to protect ourselves!"

"What does it mean?"

"Beside Dong Thief, Li Wenyou and Jia Wenhe are all treacherous people. It's really hard for me to guess their thoughts!" Wang Yun shook his head, unable to answer Liu Xie's question.

Liu Xie took a deep breath, and after calming down for a long time, he took a deep breath: "Since this is the case, then don't think too much about it. You will know sooner or later what Dong thief's plan is, but we have soldiers in our hands, but we still have to go. You let Sima Fangma Richan and the others take care of the soldiers in this pass, so that we can stand on our own!"
