Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73 Arriving at Sishui Pass

Bao Zhong also obeyed his elder brother's order, selected three thousand horse infantry and left secretly, without attracting the attention of the rest of the princes.

You must know that this is a violation of military discipline, Yuan Shao will definitely come out to stop it, and Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, no matter who captures Luoyang and gets rid of Dong Zhuo, it will be due to Yuan Shao, and there is no need to be jealous of Sun Jian.

However, their brothers need to make meritorious service, otherwise, those who have traveled a long way to lead an army to the alliance, and those who spend manpower and financial resources, any small contribution is equivalent to doing nothing.

The horses did not stop, the people did not stop, and when night fell, they rushed to the front of Sishuiguan.

Bao Zhong didn't know that Sishuiguan had changed its commander, and the number of troops had increased a lot, but seeing that Sun Jian hadn't arrived with his troops, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the exhausted soldiers, he directly led the [-]-horse infantry to march in front of Sishui Pass.

Sishui Guanzhong.

Hua Xiong also led [-] soldiers and horses, arrived in the evening, and took over the position of the general who received the pass. Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the coalition army had not arrived at Sishui Pass, he asked the soldiers to rest and cook. .

By the time night fell, the [-] soldiers and horses had already recovered.

Hua Xiong and others were discussing how to deal with the coalition forces, but they heard a report that [-] coalition forces were calling for battle in front of the pass.

This Hua Xiong couldn't bear it any longer, so he ordered five hundred elite Xiliang iron cavalry, mounted his horse with his saber in hand, and led the five hundred elite Xiliang iron cavalry to gallop out of the pass.

Boom~~
Bao Zhong, who was shouting in front of Sishui Pass, suddenly saw the city gate open, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out from the pass, the leader holding a gleaming broadsword upside down.

Bao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and was shocked when he saw the hundreds of cavalry rushing out like a rainbow. What kind of chickens and dogs are there? They are just a group of tigers. Could it be that all Sun Jian met were fake Dong Jun? ?

But at this time, there was no time for him to think deeply.

"The thief will suffer death!" Hua Xiong raised his sword upside down and rode straight towards Bao Zhong.

Looking at Hua Xiong's appearance, Bao Zhong didn't dare to face the enemy, so he wanted to turn around and leave.

However, it has been slow.

Hua Xiong, who was rushing towards him, swung his big saber, held it with both hands, then raised the saber with his hand and cut Bao Zhong under the horse.

The five hundred Xiliang iron cavalry also rushed into the three thousand soldiers and horses brought by Bao Zhong, and similarly raised and lowered their knives, slashing and killing them.

The [-] soldiers and horses were already exhausted, and there was no rest at all along the way. In addition, the chief general was hacked to death by the chief general, and his morale had already been lost. opponent.

In an instant, three thousand soldiers and horses were dispersed and fled in all directions.

Hua Xiong did not pursue the fleeing defeated soldiers, cut off Bao Zhong's head, then led his army back to Guanzhong, and ordered Bao Zhong's head to be sent to Luoyang, which was his first victory.

But said.

Sun Jian came all the way to attack, and led his army to ten miles in front of Sishui Pass, ready to set up camp. When he attacked Sishui Pass tomorrow, he encountered the defeated soldiers brought by Bao Zhong.

Sun Jian, who stopped these defeated soldiers and learned the cause and effect from his mouth, was very angry, wearing a blue silver armor and a red turban, but he did not let these defeated soldiers leave, and all of them were incorporated into his subordinates.

After the camp is tied up.

Sun Jian summoned four capable generals under his command.

The first one, a native of Tugen, Youbeiping, named Cheng Pu, styled Demou, wore an iron-ridged snake spear; the second, a native of Lingling, was named Huanggai, styled Gongfu, and wore an iron whip; Three were from Lingzhi in western Liao, named Han Dang, styled Yigong, and wielded a sword; the fourth, from Fuchun, Wujun, was named Zu Mao, styled Darong, wielded two swords.

"Bao Xin deceived me too much. I was the vanguard, but he was afraid that I would take the credit, so he sent people to rush ahead of me and wanted to attack Sishui Pass. He didn't trust me at all!" Sun Jian said angrily.

"My lord, don't be too angry!" Han Dang stood up and cupped his hands, "My lord has been unstoppable, mighty and brave all the way, the coalition army was originally formed temporarily, it's normal for some people to be jealous, but this is also for our army Having found out the situation at Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo has also dispatched reinforcements to Sishui Pass, which is good news and will allow us to make corresponding arrangements!"

"What Yigong said is true! My lord, when we win a big victory tomorrow, we will report this matter together. This will surely give that despicable villain Bao Xin a warning!" Huang Gai also stood up and said.

Hearing this, Sun Jian also nodded thoughtfully. It is true that there are reinforcements in Sishuiguan now. That is how he learned that he would need to change his plan. If he could not attack directly as before, it would cause a lot of losses. Have to change the method.

The people kept discussing until midnight before going back to their respective camps to rest.

The next morning.

Sun Jian ordered his soldiers and horses and rushed to Sishuiguan. He rode forward on a horse with a flower mane, drew out an ancient ingot knife, pointed at the city wall, and shouted: "Dong Zhuo has brought chaos to the court, and you are still helping the tyrant. If you don't surrender now, let's wait." when!"

Hua Xiongcai didn't care about this, seeing that Sun Jian was calling for a fight outside the pass, he didn't show any weakness, so he asked his deputy general Hu Zhen to lead [-] troops out of the pass to meet the battle.

When Cheng Pu saw Hu Zhen who was leading the army out, without further ado, he rode his horse with his spear and charged at Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen didn't know Cheng Pu's details, so he galloped out on horseback without any fear, brandishing a big knife, and challenged Cheng Pu.

The two fought for only a few rounds.

Hu Zhen was not Cheng Pu's opponent. Cheng Pu seized the opportunity when he was in a neutral position, stabbed him in the throat with a spear, and died immediately under his horse.

Seeing this, Sun Jian sent his troops to attack, and covered them all the way to the city wall of Sishui Pass. Arrows rained down on the city wall, and the city gate could not be closed tightly.

"Sun Wentai is indeed a character!" Hua Xiong kept observing on the city wall, and couldn't help admiring Sun Jian who was leading his troops back.

He also knew about Sun Jian. Although he had never met him, he had risen during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there were princes in the alliance of princes who had intelligence.

Although Sun Jian did not capture Sishui Pass, he also beheaded one of Dong Jun's generals. When he returned to the camp, he wrote a letter to inform him of today's battle report, and he and Bao Xin secretly sent someone to challenge Sishui Pass. There is also the matter of sending Hu Zhen's head to the coalition forces in the rear.

However, because there was not much food and grass in the army, he wrote another letter and sent it to Yuan Shu, urging the supply of food and grass.

However, what Sun Jian didn't know was that because there were many bad words accusing Bao Xin in the letters he wrote. A certain foreshadowing, if he hadn't paid attention to Bao Xin, everything might have turned out differently.
