Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 274 Dong Zhuo died in battle, an ambush from Xiang Yu
"What happened outside? Why are you so panicked?"

Upon hearing that there was a spy wanting to report, Wang Hong hurriedly asked Wei Xiaokuan to open the door and asked immediately.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, General Dong was ambushed by the enemy army 50 miles outside the pass and was killed in the battle." The messenger replied.

"What, General Dong was ambushed and his son General Dong Zhuo died in the battle?" Wang Hong was shocked when he heard this, because this was truly an unexpected ending.

Although Wang Yu had expected it, he still felt a little regretful when he knew the result.

He originally thought that by sending out Ju Wuba, he could prevent Dong Zhuo's death, but now it seems that he was just daydreaming.

As Dong Zhuo was the commander-in-chief of the Hedong Army, the ambush he encountered this time was a matter of great importance. Wang Hong immediately ordered Liu Yu, Ding Yuan and others to go to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion for a while.

At this time, Li Ru, supported by a group of generals of the Hedong Army, walked in from outside the door and hurriedly bowed to Wang Hong and said, "Grand Commander, my lord is trapped and in danger. Please send troops to rescue him as soon as possible."

Wang Hong would naturally not take Li Ru's request lightly. After all, Dong Zhuo was the commander of the 30,000 Hedong troops, so he absolutely had to be rescued.

Thinking of this, Wang Hong slammed the table angrily, and then said to his son Wang Yu: "Yu'er, our cavalry is all under your command, so this time you should quickly send soldiers to rescue."

"Don't worry, father. I will make arrangements right away."

Wang Yu responded and immediately gave the order: "Li Cunxiao, Yuchi Gong, I order you two to lead 3,000 light cavalry to rescue and bring back Governor Dong."

After Wang Yu took charge of Hulao Pass, all the spies within a hundred miles were selected by him personally, and each one of them was an elite.

If Wang Yu did not give in, the Yellow Turban Army would want to support Xiang Yu while ambush Dong Zhuo's 1,000 Hedong cavalrymen. The number of people in the ambush would definitely not be large.

At most, it’s one thousand of the original!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to escape the spies he had deployed, so it was more than enough for Wang Yu to send three thousand cavalrymen.

The reason why Li Cunxiao was sent was to deal with this guy Xiang Yu. After all, Xiang Yu in this era was not weakened as in the original book.

This ambush must have been planned by him.

"Yes!" Li Cunxiao and Yuchi Gong looked at each other, responded at the same time, and then strode away.

Yuchi Gong was good at commanding cavalry in battle, and with the help of the Black Evil skill, the marching speed of his 3,000 cavalry was nearly half as fast as usual.

After all, his purpose this time was to rescue Dong Zhuo and the Hedong Army. Since the incident happened suddenly, no one knew the situation ahead, so Yuchi Gong didn't know how long Dong Zhuo could hold on.

To be safe, he of course had to go at full speed.

Yuchi Gong originally thought that they would have to go through a fierce battle to rescue Dong Zhuo, but who would have thought that before they reached the ambush site, they ran into the remnants of the Hedong army who had broken through.

The Hedong Army, which originally had a thousand cavalrymen, now has only dozens of people left. It can truly be called a remnant army. Fortunately, most of the Hedong Army generals are still there, which is a blessing in disguise.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already lost his mind because of Dong Zhuo's death, and he was completely insane. If Hua Xiong had not stopped him, he would have most likely done something abnormal because of his loss of mind.

When Yuchi Gong saw Dong Zhuo's expression, he knew that he could not get anything out of him, so he pulled over an ordinary soldier and asked about Ju Wuba's whereabouts.

When the soldier from Hedong heard Yuchi Gong ask about Ju Wuba's name, his eyes were full of respect, and he quickly told him why Ju Wuba was not in the team. Yuchi Gong then knew the truth.

It turned out that Ju Wuba almost caught up with Xiang Yu during the pursuit by relying on the speed of his mount. However, Dong Zhuo stopped Ju Wuba from going in order to take all the credit for killing Xiang Yu from Ju Wuba.

If it were normal times, Ju Wuba would not care about Dong Zhuo. Who does he think he is?

However, this is not the right time, and Ju Wuba still keeps Wang Yu's strategy in mind, which is that Xiang Yu cannot die now.

Since Dong Zhuo stopped him from pursuing, he just went with the flow. Anyway, if something went wrong, it would be Dong Zhuo's own business, and what did it have to do with him, Ju Wuba.

Therefore, Ju Wuba decisively became a invisible person.

When Dong Zhuo saw that Ju Wuba standing by the side did not say anything against it, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

However, to be on the safe side, Dong Zhuo ordered more than a thousand cavalrymen under his command to chase Xiang Yu. After chasing for fifty miles, they finally caught up with Xiang Yu in a valley.

Little did he know that what awaited Dong Zhuo would be a catastrophic disaster.

Because Xiang Yu had made arrangements in advance.

It can be said that after the great robbery at Hulao Pass and being tricked by Huang Chao in Chenliu, Xiang Yu grew up a lot in an instant. At least, he knew how to use his brain and knew to have a backup plan for everything.

For example, this time, Xiang Yu dared to come alone to challenge, naturally because he had left a retreat route for himself in advance, so that he could escape from danger at the critical moment.

Now is the time.

As Dong Zhuo caught up with Xiang Yu, he was feeling very proud. Ji Bu, who was taken out by Jing Tianming and assigned to Xiang Yu's command, and Xiang Yuanzhen, Xiang Yu's cousin, rushed out in time to support Xiang Yu.

Both of them were well versed in the art of war and knew when was the best time to attack, so they each led 500 men and set up ambushes in front and behind the valley, and then waited for a suitable opportunity.

Finally, the opportunity came!

As soon as the Han army under Dong Zhuo arrived, Ji Bu and Xiang Yuanzhen immediately showed their fangs. In this narrow valley, the Hedong cavalry were like targets, with nowhere to hide.

With roughly the same number of troops, the Yellow Turban Army only fired two or three rounds of arrows to kill almost half of the Hedong Army. The young master Dong Zhuo also died after being hit by dozens of arrows because he used his body to block arrows for his father Dong Zhuo.

However, the Hedong Army at this time was not without other talents, such as Xu Rong, who was now under Dong Zhuo's command. Therefore, when the incident just happened, he had already responded and organized the remaining troops to prepare for a breakout.

But right now!
Ji Bu, Xiang Yu and Xiang Yuanzhen led the ambush troops in front and behind to attack.

Although Xiang Yu had consumed a lot of physical energy, he was ultimately fine and naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.

Under Xiang Yu's command, the situation became increasingly difficult for the Hedong Army, which was already surrounded. Even breaking out seemed to be a big problem.

At this time, the secret agents arranged by Wang Yu had an effect. After they realized that the war had broken out here, they immediately sent the information back to Hulao Pass.
