Chapter 416 The Tiger's Defeat

The news that Mujing conquered Suanzao also reached Sishui Pass.

"Young Master Mu is really powerful. He conquered Hanoi first, and then went straight to Suanzao. He is a young hero, only sixteen or seventeen years old. With such a record, he is probably on par with the former champion Hou!"

"The jujube has been breached, and the Kanto thieves may be overwhelmed. It's time for our army to counterattack!"

"Jing Ping's army is actually so powerful, don't underestimate it!"

"The northern line lost, I want to see how they attack me at Sishui Pass!"

"..."

Mujing defeated the coalition's northern line of defense on the northern line, conquered Jujube, forced the coalition to shrink the northern line of defense, and divided its troops to the north to deal with it. In this big decisive battle, it brought the dawn of victory to the imperial army. rise.

"Mu Longtu, this son's benefits are still higher than his father's. Is it possible that our Han family will have to crawl under his Mu family in the future? I am not reconciled!" The emperor Liu Bian seemed happy, but he was hiding endless worries .

He was afraid of defeat, and also worried about victory. Standing in his position, it would be best for the Kwantung Allied Army to die together with Mushan Dong Zhuo's army. Unfortunately, although his idea is good, it is not realistic.

"Huang Shao, Zhao Ping!"

Mu Shan was naturally happy, and he directly ordered: "Order the Southern Army and the Violent Bear Army to go out of the city to fight at such a good time, when we counterattack!"

"promise!"

Huang Shao took the order.

"Fengxian, you also lead the army out of the city to fight and defeat the Kwantung thieves for the imperial court!" Naturally, Dong Zhuo was unwilling to lag behind such a cheap thing, and dispatched the strongest general under his command, Lu Bu, to attack.

……

At the same time as the breakthrough on the northern line, the morale of the imperial army on the Sishuiguan battlefield soared, and they began to continuously counterattack and attack the camps of the Kwantung coalition forces. Within three days, the coalition forces continued to be defeated and retreated again and again. Lu Bu captured the camp of the Xuzhou army. Killing hundreds of enemies, the Violent Bear Army broke through the defense line of the Jizhou Army and wiped out the main force of the first battalion of the Jizhou Army.

Things are looking good for the court.

At this very moment, on the battlefield on the southern front, the Xiliang Army had also made a breakthrough.

Henan County, South.

This is the battlefield between Xiliang Army and Jiangdong Army.

With Niu Fu as the main general and Li Ru as the military adviser, the Xiliang Army led tens of thousands of troops and deployed defenses in the south of Luoyang, Luhun County and Xincheng County, presenting a fan-shaped defense to deal with the Jiangdong Army's attempt to enter Luoyang.

But the Jiangdong army, after breaking through Luyang City, drove straight in and took Liang County, and its troops were far away from Xincheng.

They have been fighting against each other for more than half a month, big and small, they have fought no less than ten times, and each other has suffered casualties.

However, the Jiangdong Army became more courageous and vigorous as they fought.

On the contrary, the Xiliang army, after the first battle, couldn't hold on, which made Xiliang's morale a little bit low, causing the defense line to be a little crumbling.

Xincheng County.

The main force in Xiliang is stationed.

Niu Fu was tall and tall, walking back and forth in the tent, with a manic expression on his face: "Damn it, I lost another battle, one battalion can't win against the other battalion, are they still my Xiliang warriors?"

Another news came today. In the morning, on the battlefield between Liang County and Xincheng, they lost another battle. Their general Duan Yan was defeated by Jiangdong Army's mighty Zu Mao, and lost hundreds of soldiers.

"Don't be impatient!"

Li Ru holds a volume of books in his hand and reads them peacefully.

"Li Wenyou, you can settle down!" Niu Fu squinted at him, and said in a thunderous voice, "We have already lost two battles in the past three days. If this continues, our morale will only get better and better." lower."

"General Niu, as the chief general, you should remain calm at any time!" Li Ru raised his head, his eyes met Niu Fu's copper bell-like eyes, and said indifferently.

They are brother-in-law and both Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. They are definitely Dong Zhuo's most loyal generals. They support Dong Zhuo with every article and military. They have walked out of Xiliang step by step, and they have formed a deep comrade-in-arms friendship with each other.

"I can't imitate you, the sky is falling, you can still eat, I can't, I feel upset if I lose!" Niu Fu said carelessly, under Dong Zhuo's command, he was the only one who dared to talk to Li Ru like that.

"You can only win if you lose!"

Li Ru put down the book in his hand and said: "The Jiangdong tiger is extremely fierce, but if it is too rigid, it will break. I just want him to win, otherwise you think our Xiliang army is really so easy to lose!"

"Emotional Duan Yan, Dong Yue, and the others have been defeated again and again, and you ordered them to do so. What the hell are you thinking?"

Niu Fu's eyes suddenly brightened.

He knows this guy too well.

A stomach full of bad water.

If you fight him, ten of you will die yourself.

"Ha ha!"

Li Ru raised a gloomy smile at the corner of his mouth: "The fire is still a little bit close. Wait for a few days. The day when the Jiangdong Tigers have enough confidence to attack Luoyang is the day when he will be defeated!"

It is only natural to give away the head, this is Li Wenyou's method.

What he wanted was Sun Jian's confidence.

As long as Sun Jian has enough confidence to break through Luo Yang, then his ambition will explode, like wildfire burning the plains, and it will be out of control. At that time, no matter what hinders him, he will not be able to stop his enterprising heart.

……

Liang County.

Attacking this county was effortless. At that time, the Xiliang army defeated Luyang, regardless of the head and tail. Naturally, they couldn't defend Liang County, which was easily taken by Jiangdong Army.

This is the bridgehead stationed in Henan County.

The main force of the Jiangdong Army is stationed here, waiting for the best opportunity, intending to go north in one fell swoop and break through Luoyang.

"My lord, General Zu Mao won another battle today!"

In the county office, Cheng Pu cupped his hands and said.

"Da Rong captured Yang Renju?" Sun Jian looked at the topographic map, and when he heard Cheng Pu's report, his eyes lit up, and he landed on a position on the topographic map.

"Yes!"

Cheng Pu nodded: "Yang Renju stationed [-] defenders in Xiliang, fought for three hours, defeated to the west, and withdrew Yang Renju!"

Yangrenju is a small town between Liang County and Xincheng.

The two county towns have a radius of one generation, and they are the places where the two armies are stationed. The geographical location of this Yangren gathering is the key, and it is an important fortress for the Xiliang Army. It has fought many battles to suppress the Jiangdong Army's northward throat.

"Sweep away Yangrenju, then the Xiliang army can only stick to Xincheng County and dare not come out!"

Sun Jian's tiger eyes flickered with brilliance: "We should march north without any worries!"

"My lord, I think we need to wait!" Cheng Pu was cautious by nature, and he remonstrated: "Although the Xiliang army is defeated again and again, it will not lose its vitality. Once we go north, we will be in trouble!"

"Then what do you mean?" Sun Jian asked.

"Fight!"

Cheng Pu said: "Only by defeating them can we suppress them in Luhun, Xincheng, and then dispatch the Yuzhou Army to suppress them northward. Our Jiangdong Army can go northward and break through Luoyang!"

"I'm afraid they won't fight!"

Sun Jian naturally had confidence in his Jiangdong Army, but it was difficult to say whether the Xiliang Army should fight or not.

"There is a way!" Cheng Pu pointed to the marching map, and said, "According to what the scouts said, some Xiliang troops are still here. We will surely force the main force of Xiliang soldiers to fight!"

"it is good!"

Sun Jian clenched his fists and gave the order: "Pass out our military order, all the ministries will attack, and besiege Manzhong!"

Manzhong is a mountain, and it is also a small town on the back of the mountain. It is located in the southeast of Xincheng and in the northwest of Liang County. There are [-] soldiers and horses stationed in the Xiliang Army here, and the commander of the army is Xu Rong.

Overnight, Manzhong was surrounded by Jiangdong Army.

"General, the Jiangdong Army has appeared in the east!"

"General, the Jiangdong Army has also appeared in the north!"

"General, we also have Jiangdong Army stationed behind us!"

"..."

One by one, the news spread to the Xiliang Army Command in Manzhong Town.

Xu Rong is young, thin and shrewd. He is from Liaodong. He is skilled in martial arts. He is good at wielding an iron spear. He is a mighty general in the Xiliang Army. He is low-key, but people dare not underestimate him. But he was not surprised at all: "The whole nest came out and besieged our army. I think Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong!"

"General, do you want to fight?"

A general asked in a low voice.

"Order, each battalion will not come out!"

Xu Rong shook his head and ordered: "Stick and wait for help!"

His thousands of soldiers and horses confronted the main force of the Jiangdong Army head-on, and ended up dead.

"General, why not break out?" said a radical general.

"Breakthrough, I'm afraid it's in their hands!" Xu Rong shook his head: "We don't have to do anything, just wait. I believe General Niu Fu and Li Junshi will deploy it!"

……

In Xincheng County.

"Wenyou, Xu Rong's [-] soldiers and horses are trapped in Manzhong, which is besieged by the Jiangdong army!" Niu Fu said impatiently, "I want to gather all the soldiers and horses immediately, and go to the rescue!"

"Can!"

Li Ru did not object, but said lightly: "But you must lose this battle!"

"defeat?"

Niu Fu was puzzled.

"It must be defeated!" Li Ru emphasized.

"Understood!"

Niu Fu knew that his brain was not working well, so he implemented Li Ruzhi's words in all directions.

……

Niu Fu gathered all the main forces of Lu Hun and Xincheng's Xiliang Army to attack with all his strength to challenge the Jiangdong Army. This move hit the Jiangdong Army's hands.

The two armies opened their camps and fought between the mountains and plains within a radius of more than ten miles from the small town of Manzhong.

The battle was in full swing, and after three days of continuous fighting, both sides were exhausted immediately.

At this time, the Jiangdong army suddenly rose up. The young master Sun Ce led three thousand soldiers to attack from the flank mountain road, crossed the mountains and ridges, and broke through Niu Fu's central army with the empty road behind him. Niu Fu's central army was caught off guard and was defeated. Big Feather Wing also lost his position, and the army was defeated.

Sun Jian personally fought against Niu Fu. After fifty rounds of fierce fighting, Niu Fu was injured.

Seeing the defeat of the Xiliang army, at this time the Xiliang army Xu Rong and Duan Yan joined hands to fight out, integrating the Chinese army with thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat Sun Jian's attack and rescue Niu Fu.

However, since the first battle, the morale of the Xiliang army has become more and more low. After the integration of the various defeated armies, Niu Fu, Xu Rong, Duan Yan and others discussed and directly gave up the land of the barbarian. Even all the positions outside the city were closed. Give up, gather all the soldiers and horses and return to the two counties of Xincheng and Luhun, and stick to it.
