New Lubu War

Chapter 124 Shhhhhhh

The army set out, and soon left Hedong and entered the territory of Hongnong.

a few days later.

It is only thirty miles away from Jingzhao Luoyang, and only about sixty miles away from Hulao Pass.

early morning.

Suddenly, a horse galloped forward and went straight to the Chinese army.

Lu Bu, who was riding on the red rabbit, opened his eyes and saw that he was a scout in the army.

Suddenly, the scout rushed to Lu Bu, clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, Hulao Pass was breached by the Kwantung coalition forces last night, and Dong Xiangguo is retreating towards Luoyang!"

"Ok?"

Lu Bu looked over in surprise and asked:
"Hulao Pass is a natural danger. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the city. How did the coalition forces break through?"

"Report to my lord!"

The scout explained:

"The coalition forces have besieged Hulaoguan for nearly two months, and the morale in the city is low. The coalition forces often shoot letters in the city with arrows, spreading rumors and shaking the morale of the troops!"

"The Kwantung Army moved out again and intercepted a lot of food and grass in the rear of the Xiliang Army, which further aggravated the panic among the soldiers of the Xiliang Army!"

"Last night, there was a mutiny within the Xiliang Army, and the coalition forces took the opportunity to attack the city, and finally Hulao Pass was lost!"

"I see!"

Lu Bu nodded.

Also.

The military discipline of the Xiliang Army has always been lax, and the barbarians are suspicious. The coalition forces spread rumors in the city, and there are facts to support it.

It's just that it's too coincidental.

Just before he arrived, the city was broken.

Shaking his head, Lu Bu was speechless.

"Report!"

At this moment, the former army rushed to ride, but it was a scout soldier in the vanguard.

"Lord!"

The scout soldier clasped his fists and reported:
"An envoy from Dong Xiangguo is here to see you!"

"Bring it here!"

Lu Bu hurriedly ordered.

After a while.

"Brother Li, why are you in such a mess!"

Looking at the disheveled Li Su, Lu Bu suppressed his smile and asked with concern.

Although he has not been trained, he is still very good at controlling his expressions. At least, Li Su did not see the hidden smile in Lu Bu's eyes.

"Let the king laugh!"

Li Su cupped his hands, said something awkwardly, and then hurriedly said:

"Junhou, Hulao Pass was lost last night, and Dong Xiangguo is retreating to Luoyang. Please, Junhou, go to Luoyang and join Dong Xiangguo to resist the rebels in the east of the Kanto together!"

"When did Xiangguo withdraw from Hulao Pass? Where is he now? Is there any pursuit by the Kwantung Allied Forces?"

Lu Bu asked.

"At midnight!"

Li Su replied:
"Now we are retreating in the direction of Luoyang. The Kwantung rebels are chasing after us. If you don't arrive, the Xiangguo will be in danger!"

Lu Bu nodded, expressing his understanding.

So he asked Li Su about Dong Zhuo's retreat route, the detailed terrain ahead, and the movements of the coalition forces.

After a while, Lu Bu laughed and said:
"Brother Li, please go back and tell Xiangguo, I will definitely arrive on time, so you can retreat without worry!"

"Your Majesty's righteousness, on behalf of the Prime Minister, I thank you!"

Li Su cupped his hands and said.

After finishing speaking, Li Su immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction he had come.

After Li Su left, Lu Bu pondered for a moment, then ordered the army to turn west and head towards Luoyang.

According to the original route, we need to travel [-] li to the south to arrive at Hulao Pass.

But at this moment, Hulaoguan was lost, so there was no need to go there.

Luoyang is located in the west, thirty miles away, calculated according to the hour, just arrived.

The army of Bingzhou was full of cavalry, and they accelerated on their way at an extremely fast speed. After half an hour, they arrived at their destination.

This location is just in front of Luoyang, about forty miles away from Hulao Pass.

Arriving at the place in advance, Lu Bu immediately ordered his generals to send troops to form an army formation, ready to wait.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, there were countless horses neighing and people shouting in front of them.

Nearly [-] defeated soldiers are fleeing in embarrassment in this direction.

Looking at his armor and banner, it is the Xiliang cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command.

At this moment, these Xiliang soldiers were obviously scared out of their wits, they had no military formation, they all dropped their helmets and armor, their flags were crooked, and swarmed towards Luoyang.

Further behind, there were hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Allied Forces chasing and killing them, with countless flags waving and shouts of battle resounding.

Perhaps they knew that there was a friendly army in front of them. When Xiliang's defeated soldiers saw the Bingzhou army, they were not only not afraid, but rushed over as if they were seeing rescuers.

Seeing this, Lu Bu's face darkened.

"Dong Zhuo, how did you lead the troops?"

"The broken soldiers attacked the friendly army, thanks to him?"

In fact, Dong Zhuo cannot be blamed for this.

As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, how could Dong Zhuo not know that it is a taboo for military strategists to break out and attack the reinforcements?
But there is no way, the Xiliang Army is notoriously lax in military discipline, even in normal times, it is not easy to restrain them.

What's more, with the new defeat at this moment, there are still pursuers behind?
All the soldiers were terrified and bewildered. When they saw the rescuers, they rushed over immediately.

In this situation, Dong Zhuo had nothing to do.

"The order!"

Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he ordered lightly:

"Thousands of people stepped forward and shouted, ordering the rout soldiers in front to scatter left and right, not to charge into the Chinese army, and those who violated will be killed immediately!"

The Bingzhou Army had strict discipline, communicated quickly from top to bottom, and acted quickly. Immediately, a school lieutenant came forward with more than a thousand horses to shout.

"People in front, listen up, scatter left and right, don't run into the central army, offenders will be killed without mercy!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound spread far away, and everyone could hear the nearly [-] Xiliang soldiers in front of them.

But it didn't work!
The Xiliang army has always been free and unrestrained, and it is difficult to restrain them at ordinary times. What's more, now that the pursuers are behind, their lives are at stake, and they are in danger?
Therefore, even though the Bingzhou army came forward and shouted loudly to remind them, the Xiliang rout soldiers who fled in embarrassment turned a deaf ear and rushed towards the Bingzhou army formation.

'咻咻咻'

Xiliang's rout soldiers rushed over regardless, and the Bingzhou army was naturally rude, and all arrows were fired in an instant.

All the cavalrymen in Bingzhou were good at shooting. When a round of arrows rained down, the rout soldiers from Xiliang who were rushing towards them fell down like cutting wheat.

People shouted and neighed!
Screams, scolding endlessly!

However, a round of arrow rain could not restore calm to these Xiliang routs. Most of the routs were still rushing towards them.

It doesn't matter, every Bingzhou cavalry has hundreds of arrows on them, so they are not afraid of wasting them.

'咻咻咻'

'咻咻咻'

……

Five or six rounds of arrows rained down, and the Xiliang soldiers who rushed to the front all fell off their horses and died, at least tens of thousands!
"People in front, listen up, scatter left and right, don't run into the central army, offenders will be killed without mercy!"

The reminder calls continued.

Now, the flustered Xiliang soldiers finally listened.

As a result, no one rushed towards the central army, but separated from the left and right, and passed by the Bingzhou army's flank.

"Jianzhi, go and fetch Dong Xiangguo!"

Seeing that the rout soldiers were finally sensible, Lu Bu gave Cao Xing instructions.

Under such circumstances, how would the Xiliang army dare to come over?

Dong Zhuo naturally did not dare.

The arrows shot out don't recognize Dong Xiangguo!

Therefore, Cao Xing was needed to respond.

"promise!"

In response, Cao Xing immediately led more than ten riders and galloped forward.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Li Su, Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Zhang Ji and others were all escorted.
