I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 529: Dangerous Passages

"Damn it! Champion Marquis, how dare you play tricks on me like this!"

Under the dark night sky, Niu Fu’s angry voice kept echoing.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white due to excessive anger, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire as he stared straight at the dark river surface as if he wanted to devour it.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

Before this, despite Li Ru's repeated warnings, Niu Fu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, who is Mr. Dong?
He was so magnanimous that he awarded the title of General of Cavalry to the Marquis of Guanjun. How could this Su guy possibly go against him and others?
However, the facts are right in front of us.

The bandits wiped out all the defenders at the ferry and went south. Who else could have done this except Marquis Guanjun?

They never expected that Su Yao would dare to act so boldly and recklessly under their noses.

This is not only a provocation to his personal authority, but also an insult to the entire Liangzhou Legion and a provocation to Mr. Dong!

"Assholes! Chase them! You must catch them!"

"We must not let them escape back to Yique!"

Niu Fu ordered the entire army to pursue, but the ferry here had either been driven away or turned into ashes in the raging fire.

This hindered the efficiency of the pursuit to a considerable extent.

But Niu Fu did not give up.

It wasn't that he was acting rashly because his brain was congested, but the south bank of the Luo River was also their world!

Of course.

When Dong Zhuo occupied the capital, he did not just occupy that one city.

After taking control of the capital, the first thing Dong Zhuo did was to control the area surrounding the capital and place his trusted aides in all eight checkpoints of Luoyang.

This is also one of the key reasons why Su Yao was not in a hurry to compete with Dong Zhuo for the capital.

Su Yao's rise was too fast, and he had too few trusted subordinates. Although Lu, Zhao, Dian, Guan and others were all under his control, the number of his trusted generals at the grassroots level was far from comparable to those who had accumulated decades of experience.

Moreover, the more capable and powerful people, heroes and heroes are, the more they have their own ideas and persistence.

These people can obey his orders with the support of a righteous cause, but if Su Yao becomes abstract and learns from Dong Zhuo to lash the world with brutal force, it is only a matter of time before they become disloyal.

Therefore, Su Yao chose to stay in the nearest place, watch the situation develop, let Dong Zhuo attract hatred, and hold the righteousness firmly in his hands.

However, Dong Zhuo would naturally not ignore this.

The Eight Passes of Luoyang are the barrier of the capital. Dong Zhuo will not take it lightly as Su Yao's attitude is unclear.

Therefore, after the arrival of the 2,000 rear troops led by Fan Chou and Guo Si, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered them to cross the Luo River, set up checkpoints and camps at important roads south of Luoyang, and monitor the movements of Yique Pass.

At this time, Niu Fu knew that they still had a large army in Henan, so how could he give up?

"Chase!"

"General Fan and General Guo have also received orders from the military advisor. They must not let that Su get away!"

"Lord Su, it seems that our actions have attracted the attention of the traitor Dong Zhuo."

Lying on the warhorse, Lu Zhi reminded Su Yao.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to go back."

Lu Zhi's worries were not unreasonable. Since Dong Zhuo had already realized the threat posed by Su Yao, he would certainly stop him from returning to Yique Pass at all costs.

Looking at the search teams holding torches in front and the pursuers with lights on in the river behind.

This is really a situation where there are blockades in front and pursuers behind.

However, Su Yao only smiled slightly at Lu Zhi's worry:
"Don't worry, Lord Lu. Since I dare to come here, I will definitely be able to retreat safely."

Su Yao said confidently:
"Although Dong Zhuo's army is large in number, they are new here and are not familiar with the terrain around Luoyang. We can take advantage of this and surprise them."

"Ah?" Not to mention Lu Zhi's disciples, even Lu Zhi was speechless after hearing this.

Frankly speaking, what Su Yao said was not wrong, but the key point is that it is true that Dong Zhuo is a newcomer, but isn’t it the same for you, Su Yao?

Why do you act like you know everything about the area around Luoyang?
Even if you know some side roads, it is extremely dangerous to deviate from the main road in the dark night.

After all, the land of Luonan is different from that of Luobei. Although it is also a plain, there are still many undeveloped forests and tidal flats, which are hunting places for the nobles in the capital. If you walk around blindly, it is very easy to get lost.

However, Su Yao obviously would not waste time explaining anything to them.

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at a dense forest on the south bank of Luo River. Su Yao tightened the reins and let the horse slowly stop. He looked up into the distance and saw a few faint flames in the night. It was obvious that Dong Zhuo's army was searching for them.

"Zilong, Zijing, you two lead a team of soldiers and go around to the sides of the enemy, making some noise to attract their attention."

Su Yao quickly assigned the task:
"Lord Lu, you lead the rest of the troops and follow me through here and take Yique Pass directly."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun and Qian Zhao immediately took the order and left, disappearing into the night with a team of elite cavalry.

Lu Zhi led the remaining troops, followed closely behind Su Yao, and carefully passed through the dense forest.

The night wind howls and the shadows of the trees dance.

Su Yao moved through the forest as freely as in daylight, when Zhao Yun and Qian Zhao's wing operations were successful and the enemy troops were mobilized away.

He took the lead and led Lu Zhi's disciples to prepare to give them a central victory.

"Come on, everyone, follow me!"

At Su Yao's command, everyone became excited and followed closely.

In the dense forest, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wind intertwined into a passionate war song, leading them towards their goal.

"Be careful, there are enemies behind us!"

Someone in the Xiliang army noticed something was wrong and shouted a warning.

However, their movements were slowed down by the night, and they had no time to respond.

"kill!"

Su Yao suddenly roared and rushed out like a tiger descending from the mountain.

His figure left a long silver afterimage in the moonlight, and the long sword in his hand was swung so fiercely that enemies fell down wherever he passed.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi and his disciples were greatly encouraged and followed Su Yao to charge forward.

Although their swordsmanship was not as sharp as Su Yao's, they fought well under his leadership.

Everyone worked together and tore a hole in the enemy's defense line in an instant.

However, just as they were about to break through the enemy's defenses, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the flank:
"Wu Xi of Liangzhou is here, you thief, please give me your life!"

Amid the shouts, Guo Si's general Wu Xi led a team of Western Liang cavalry and swept in like a hurricane!

"Oh no! There's an ambush!" Lu Zhi's face changed and he hurriedly reminded everyone.

They didn't expect there was an ambush!

It turned out that the Xiliang soldiers had long been aware that Li Ru had said that the Champion Marquis was unparalleled in bravery and difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Guo Si instructed his subordinates to keep a reserve force to deal with the red-robed general no matter what.

So, when the soldiers at their outposts were diverted by the movements on both wings, Wu Xi remained in place, waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, seeing Su Yao leading his troops to rush through the roadblocks they set up, they immediately attacked from the flank, ready to catch them off guard.

However, Su Yao remained expressionless. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected this scene.

"Don't be so arrogant, you bastard!"

As he spoke, Su Yao suddenly swung his sword and cut off an enemy soldier, clearing the way and shouting loudly:
"Mr. Lu, you go first. I will take care of these people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yao actually rushed forward alone, facing the Xiliang cavalry behind him.
