Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 6
end of February.

The Kwantung Allied Forces marched to Sishuiguan and set up camp three miles away to discuss the strategy of advancing troops.

The next day, Yuan Shao and the princes from all walks of life led an army of [-] to the Sishui Pass to test the situation.

The army spread out, Yuan Shao sighed left and right: "Who can go to fight to boost the morale of our coalition army?"

Next to him was Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, who was afraid that someone would take the lead, so he hurriedly winked at his younger brother Bao Zhong.

Bao Zhong immediately came out and said: "The general is willing to go."

Yuan Shao said happily: "General Bao Zhong will go out, it will definitely boost our army's prestige, let's go quickly."

Bao Zhong obeyed his orders, and immediately galloped his horse out of the formation. After knowing his name and surname, he shouted sharply, "Hu Zhen, hurry up and die."

When Sishui was closed, Hu Zhen and a group of generals had already arrived. They were standing on the top of the city to observe the formation of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Hearing this, his face became livid and he asked the left and right, "Who will kill this man to vent the hatred of this general?" .”

Luo Zheng's thoughts turned sharply, and he secretly thought that Bao Zhong had never heard of it before. He thought he was an unknown person, and he was probably not as good as Zu Mao. willing to go."

Hu Zhen's face looked better now, and he said, "Hurry up!"

"The last general takes orders."

After receiving the general order, Luo Zheng rushed down to the top of the city to order troops.

Not long after, the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate opened.

Luo Zheng led five hundred riders out of the city gate, lined up under the city, and rushed forward to face Bao Zhong with his sword and horse.

Bao Zhong yelled: "If you don't kill the nameless ghost with a certain knife, you will come to know the name."

Luo Zheng secretly cursed the idiot, and also shouted: "So, Luo Zheng is also, Bao Zhongfu, come and lead him to death."

"Everyone wants to die!"

Bao Zhong was furious, and immediately urged his horse to kill him.

Luo Zheng also urged the horse to meet him, his body straightened instantly, and he leaned forward slightly.

Amidst the shocking sound of war drums, the two horses quickly approached.

Fifty steps.

Thirty steps.

Fifteen steps.

Luo Zheng could already clearly see the fine hairs on Bao Zhong's face, and his eyes instantly became chilling.

The moment the two horses crossed each other, Bao Zhong yelled: "Die!"

At this moment, Luo Zheng also shouted at the same time, "Look at the hidden weapon!" The empty left hand gestured to raise.

Ok?
Bao Zhong was startled, and subconsciously leaned over to hide.

"Haha, idiot, you're on the block."

Luo Zheng laughed loudly, and he was ready to go, and he swung the saber instantly, and slashed away.

Bao Zhong felt a flash of light rushing towards him, and when he realized that he had fallen into evil, it was already too late. The sharp saber slid across his shin, and a big head flew back, spurting out blood .

Bao Zhong's headless body did not fall from the horse's back until the horse rushed out more than thirty steps.

The Sishui was closed, the cheers sounded like thunder, and the morale of the Xiliang army was greatly boosted.

Hua Xiong licked his lips, and said with burning eyes: "It was unexpectedly taken by Luo Zheng, hey!"

Hu Zhen is also in a good mood, he laughed and said: "Good job, this time frustrated the spirit of the rebels, Luo Zheng will remember a merit first."

In front of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Yuan Shao was quite pale, while Bao Xin, Minister of Jinbei, was pale.

In the first round, he folded a hand, which is really a bad start.

Some princes frowned and said: "To win by despicable means, this is really an invincible victory."

Cao Cao said with a chuckle: "Duke Ming's words are wrong. Soldiers use deceitful methods. The major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival, use everything to the extreme. War only depends on the result, not the process. As long as you can win, you will be counted." It is right to use even the most despicable means. Therefore, Ercao believes that we have to look at the problem from a different angle, otherwise we will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

Yuan Shao said happily, "What Meng De said is absolutely true."

At this moment, a loud shout sounded in front of him.

"Young man Yuan Shao, hurry up and lead him to death."

It turned out that Luo Zheng beheaded Bao Zhong, bragging about in front of the formation.

Yuan Shao was furious, his face was livid with anger, he is a person with great face, and his status is prominent, he was scolded as a villain, how could he not be angry, at that time he shouted angrily: "Who took the leader of this bureau for the leader of the alliance?" ?”

"The young general wishes."

As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Shu turned around and asked for orders from the brave general Yu She.

"Go quickly."

Yuan Shao waved his hand violently, his expression was extremely ugly.

Yu She led the order to go, rode his horse and danced his spear, and came to fight Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng repeated his old tricks and prepared to kill Yu She again.

Unexpectedly, with Bao Zhong's lesson, Yu She was well prepared and was not fooled.

Luo Zheng had no choice but to get up his spirits, and danced around the saber dance, struggling to fight Yu She.

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that it would not work if people saw the conspiracy and tricks. It seemed that if there was a chance, I would have to get some powerful hidden weapons to defend myself.

The drums shook the sky, and the shouts were like thunder.

Luo Zheng and Yu She fought back and forth with swords and guns, and the killing was inextricably linked.

In front of the coalition formation, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others frowned more and more.

Hearing the weak cheers behind him, his face was even more dull.

Even an unknown person in the Xiliang army can't fight, how can they boost the morale of the army.

Cao Cao told his brother Cao Hong, "Zi Lian, wait for the opportunity to shoot this thief with a hidden arrow."

Cao Hong accepted the order loudly, and immediately ran down the high platform, hidden behind the gate, and set his bow and arrow.

On the open space in front of the pass, Luo Zheng and Yu She were still fighting with swords and guns.

"I can't even fight a mere Yu She!"

Luo Zheng's complexion is not very good-looking, this Yu She is just a pawn.

Not to mention comparing with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, who are famous in the history books, they are not even as good as second-rate generals.

He couldn't even handle such a small role, it seemed how bad his military strength was.

But then I thought that when I first came here, I was not as strong as ordinary women in this era.Now that he was able to draw with a general like Yu She, his progress was not small, and he immediately regained his confidence.

Soon thirty times passed, and the two were still tied.

Hu Zhen looked impatiently at the gate, and ordered Hua Xiong to take the opportunity to shoot Yu She.

When the two horses crossed again, I heard two sounds of 'buzz', and the sound of bowstrings sounded almost simultaneously.

"not good."

Luo Zheng and Yu She were shocked almost at the same time, where they could not care about fighting, and quickly avoided sideways.

The muffled sound and the scream sounded almost at the same time, but the scream stopped abruptly as soon as it started.

When Yu She lowered his head and wanted to hide, Hua Xiong shot him in the forehead with an arrow, and he fell off his horse and died.

When Luo Zheng dodged sideways, Cao Hong shot an arrow through his shoulders, and his strength was drawn away like an ebb tide. He couldn't care less about other things under the shock, and he barely breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of the coalition army formation, Yuan Shao's face was ashen, and he waved his hand, ordering the army to attack the city.

Amidst the thundering sound of war drums, the Kwantung Army immediately pressed up and rushed to the gate of the city, ready to snatch the pass and seize the city.

Luo Zheng hugged the horse's neck tightly, leading five hundred cavalrymen to rush into the city gate quickly.

Amidst the ear-piercing noise, hundreds of infantry fought hard to close the city gate, inserted the iron bolts, and pushed on a dozen rafters as thick as thighs. Immediately, the jack gate was lowered, the suspension bridge was raised, and on the top of the city, Arrows rained down, turning those who were shot by the Kwantung Army on their backs.

Luo Zheng was seriously injured, and was directly carried back to the army by his own soldiers to nourish his wounds.

The drums of war shook the sky, and the sound of killing filled the field.

The infantry of the eight thousand pass army, carrying ladders and shields, rushed towards the pass wall against the rain of arrows pouring down from the city.

Hu Zhen, under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers, personally commanded the city defense from the top of the wall. Rolling stones, lumber, and burning kerosene were poured down at no cost. In the howling sound.

The tragedy of the war has been best interpreted at this moment, and human life is as humble as an ant here.

in the military camp.

A military doctor took out a thumb thick mace feather arrow for Luo Zheng, bandaged the wound and applied herbal medicine.

After finishing all this, Luo Zheng was already exhausted from the pain, profusely sweating.

The Spike arrow is not an ordinary arrow, but made of soaked solid hardwood. Not only is it thick and heavy, but it is also equipped with an iron arrow with a barb. Generally, only generals in the army will use it.

Especially when the barb on the arrow came out of the flesh, the pain I suffered was beyond words.

Luo Zheng couldn't help but miss the anesthetics of later generations. If there were anesthetics, how could he suffer such a big crime.

He waited until Langzhong left before he calmed down and healed himself.

The bronze ring is simple and unpretentious, but it has a magical power.

The warm current flowed in from the fingers, and quickly flowed through the whole body. When it passed through the left shoulder, the wound pierced by the spiked arrow immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than twenty breaths, the wound healed and the pain disappeared.

Luo Zheng turned over and jumped up, moved his hands and feet, and became lively again.

"That's right, I've got a little more strength."

Luo Zheng felt that his strength had increased again, and he put on his stomach and walked out of the military tent in a comfortable mood.

"General, why are you up?"

Chen Tong stayed outside the tent, and when he saw Luo Zheng coming out, he was immediately taken aback.

"I'm fine!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and asked: "How is the battle going?"

Chen Tongdao: "The Kwantung rebels are attacking the city, and the villain is not very clear about the specific situation."

Luo Zheng gave a 'hmm' and ordered: "Send someone to the city guard to watch, and report at any time if there is any situation."

Chen Tong agreed, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Luo Zheng didn't go to the top of the city, he was recuperating in the barracks, always paying attention to the battle situation.

After all, his injuries were not minor, and it was impossible for him to heal so quickly, so he had to put on a show.

If he ran to the top of the city so quickly, he wouldn't be regarded as a monster.

After the sun went down, the Kwantung Allied Forces finally led their troops back after paying more than 2000 casualties.

Hu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief just now, but he didn't want the Kwantung Allied Forces to attack again in the early morning of the next day, and divided the 30 troops into ten groups, taking turns to attack Guancheng day and night. .

After all, the Kwantung Army had 30 troops, ten times the size of the Sishuiguan defenders. They took turns to fight day and night, and had enough time to rest, but the Xiliang Army did not have enough troops to rotate and rest.

On the third day, Hu Zhen even transferred the cavalry to the top of the city, hoping to defend it for a few more days.

On the fifth day, the situation was already in jeopardy.

When Hu Zhen's anxious forehead was about to rot, reinforcements from Luoyang finally arrived.

The [-] troops led by Guo Si finally arrived at Sishui Pass and temporarily stabilized the situation.
