Great Han Empire

Chapter 187
Qianye Ridge is shrouded in the faint moonlight, looking mysterious and solemn.

Dong Zhuo sat on the horse, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep, motionless.

Niu Fu galloped all the way, panting.

"General, the scouts came to report that the Dushui River pontoon bridge suddenly broke, and Li Zhonglang and Ma Teng's cavalry were all blocked on the opposite bank."

Dong Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes.

"General, we only have [-] cavalry. If we attack alone, we will suffer heavy losses." Niu Fu took a few breaths, calmed down a little, and then said, "General, look..."

Dong Zhuo looked up at the sky and remained silent.

Hu Zhen, Bao Hong, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Li Jue (read jue) gathered around after hearing the words.

"General, there are 8 people on the old side, we should be cautious." Li Jue said in a low voice, "The reinforcements have not crossed the river, and we are not strong enough. Even if we fight over, the blow to the enemy will not be effective." Li Jue In his 30s, tall and thin, with a long face and short beard, he is smart and capable.

Hu Zhen immediately retorted: "The strength of those rebels is very poor, and they are not vulnerable to a single blow. Our 1 people can completely crush the enemy camp."

"Master Lieutenant, there are also cavalry on the old side. Although they are close, but if they rush up in a swarm, we will fall into a melee. Once we fight, we will not be able to attack the entire camp of the enemy, let alone pose a threat to the enemy." Guo Si said, "With insufficient strength, it is dangerous for us to take the risk of attacking."

"This bridge is broken in a strange way, and someone must be playing tricks on it." Fan Chou said in a low voice, "Someone probably doesn't want us to do meritorious service."

"Ma Teng and Lao Bian are brothers, this kid must have caused trouble." Hu Zhen said.

"Don't make wild guesses." Li Jue said solemnly, "After he is a famous family, he would not do such a rebellious thing. Besides, what good will it do him?"

Hu Zhen curled his lips in disdain, but didn't make a sound.

"We should attack." Bao Hong said loudly, "My lords, we are a sneak attack. It is difficult for the enemy to organize an effective counterattack when the enemy is caught off guard. As long as we quickly enter the center of the enemy camp, the purpose of the attack will be achieved. Yes. Moreover, since the reinforcements have arrived at Dushuihe, it means that the Taiwei has agreed to our plan. Such a good opportunity, it would be a pity not to fight."

"Lieutenant Bao, you spare no effort to encourage us to attack, do you want to make meritorious service and atone for your sins, so that you can keep your official position in the future?" Niu Fu sneered, "After this battle, if we die, we will die, no wonder you don't feel sad. "

Hu Zhen sneered: "Bao Duwei's men were all wiped out by Beigong Boyu. Even if he wanted to attack the camp, he had more energy than he wanted, so he asked us to back him up."

Bao Hong glared at them fiercely, then looked at Dong Zhuo who was silent, and whispered: "General..."

Dong Zhuo looked at his subordinates and said firmly, "Attack."

===

On Luofeng Ridge, the carriages and baggage that could not be taken away were ignited, and the raging fire reflected half of the sky red.

Looking at the fire soaring into the sky, Bian Zhang twitched in his heart.

Although he didn't believe Han Sui's words and that Beigong Boyu would betray them, he was very angry and resentful.The attack on Chang'an is related to the survival of Xiliang, such an important matter, Beigong Boyu actually treats it as a trifle.Although Dong Zhuo was stationed in Meiyang, he was an enemy, not a friend, and he couldn't deliberately delay the rendezvous time of the army because of brotherhood and in order not to have a confrontation with Dong Zhuo.

"Barbarian..." Bian Zhang couldn't help but cursed, "This barbarian didn't obey the military order and acted recklessly, which resulted in today's disaster."

"Here we come, General, the enemy is coming." Ma Wan stood up from the ground, patted the ashes on his hands, and said loudly.

Bian Zhang raised his head solemnly to look at the stars in the sky, then at the moon moving through the clouds, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Order the troops, expand the formation, and prepare for the impact."

The war drums sounded loudly, and the passionate drums immediately tore through the night sky and rushed straight into the sky.

===

Sitting on his galloping horse, Dong Zhuo watched the soaring fire in the enemy's camp in the distance, and listened to the majestic sound of war drums in the night sky, a murderous aura spewed out of his chest.

"General, the enemy is ready." Niu Fu shouted in horror.

"General, it is not appropriate to fight any more at this time, we should leave the battlefield quickly." Li Jue also caught up and shouted loudly.

Bao Hong's face was tense, and he felt a little regretful. If he knew this, he would not have said anything provocative just now.The enemy is actually prepared, has the news leaked?

Dong Zhuo's face was as cold as water, he shook his head resolutely, and shouted loudly: "The arrow has been wound, how could it not be fired."

"Beating the drum..."

The sound of the drums was like thunder, suddenly standing out from the huge roar, exploding with a bang, and the sound shook the whole field.

Shocked by the sound of the drums, the Xiliang iron cavalry was suddenly overwhelmed with fighting spirit.

Dong Zhuo drew out his saber violently, raised it high above his head, echoed and yelled wildly at the cavalry warriors behind him:

"Boys, kill..."

"Kill..." Niu Fu was excited by Dong Zhuo's arrogance, his blood boiled, and he raised his gun and roared.

"Kill..." Hu Zhen slanted his axe, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Kill..." The soldiers around echoed in unison, and the shouts of killing suddenly became louder and louder.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were aroused with pride, and more than ten thousand soldiers shouted wildly at the same time.

The army was so powerful that it rushed towards the enemy camp without hesitation.

===

Bian Zhang looked at the approaching Xiliang iron cavalry, sneered, and shouted loudly:

"Attack..."

"Order Liang Xing to lead the central army, launch first, and tear apart the enemy's formation."

"Order the horse to play, command the left and right flanks, slowly push forward, try to fight with the enemy as much as possible, and delay the time."

The [-] cavalry were launched instantly.

Liang Xing, Ma Wan raised his sword and shouted wildly, the soldiers roared like thunder, the army began to advance slowly, the roar of the galloping horses became louder, louder, and more intense, gradually the huge sound covered everything.Not long after, the whole earth began to tremble, dust covered the sky, and the stars and moon in the sky could no longer be seen.

As the two armies met, after a loud bang, the war kicked off.

Dong Zhuo's [-] cavalry rushed over in the form of flying geese.

Liang Xing led five thousand cavalry, formed an iron cone formation, and plunged into the heart of Dong Zhuo's army like a tenon (pronounced sun) head.Most of the cavalry of the Xiliang rebel army belonged to the Qianghu. They grew up on horseback. Although they had not received systematic training, they were born to fight. The toughness and bravery in their bones drove them forward without fear. .kill.

This slender and sharp iron cone pierced into Dong Zhuo's cavalry formation at an astonishing speed, and then became thicker and deeper, until it had the potential to split Dong Zhuo's cavalry in half.

Guo Si and Fan Chou were on the left, and Li Jue and Hu Zhen were on the right, commanding the soldiers to counterattack frantically, intending to cut the iron awl in two.

Dong Zhuo led the central army, Bao Hong led the left-wing army, and Niu Fu led the right-wing army. They ignored the enemy's tearing apart and just rushed forward frantically with the cavalry.Rush, rush to the middle of the enemy camp to complete the attack target.rush.

Seeing that the [-] troops on the left and right flanks could not withstand the enemy's charge, Ma Wan led the remaining [-] cavalry to meet Dong Zhuo's central army and killed them.Blocking Dong Zhuo's central army can slow down the enemy's attack speed, and it is possible to cover Liang Xing's arrows and tear the enemy's formation.Once the enemy is separated, the army can divide and encircle the enemy, forcing the enemy into a melee.The enemy can't get away even if they want to get away.If you don't die, it will bite you until you have no strength to fight back.

The double-engined cavalry fought fiercely on Luofeng Ridge, and the bloody and cruel battlefield was extraordinarily terrifying under the reflection of the raging fire.

With a roar, Dong Zhuo tried his best to kill an enemy soldier who was rushing towards him.He finally saw the large banner erected outside the large tent of the Chinese army through the cracks in the crowd.

"Kill..., kill..., the enemy's banner is right in front of you." Dong Zhuo wiped the blood from his face vigorously, and roared, "Cut it down, cut it down..."

The soldiers cheered.Well, it's finally over.

"Kill..., cut down the big banner, reward thirty silk, kill..." Bao Hong also yelled not far away, like crazy.

The battle intensified.

Dong Zhuo led his subordinates stepping on the corpses of comrades-in-arms and enemies, tenaciously and resolutely advancing step by step.The Xiliang rebels finally couldn't hold back, suffered heavy casualties, and were gradually forced to surround Dazhu.

Standing under the banner, Bian Zhang stood proudly without fear.

"General, step back, we can't stand it anymore." Bian Zhang's attendant hugged his waist and shouted while trying to pull him to a safe place.

Bian Zhang slapped him hard, and angrily said: "Go up and kill me, and you are not allowed to retreat. We retreat, what should the main force do? Let the enemy catch up and slaughter? Go up and kill me."

The attendant had no choice but to let him go with tears in his eyes, and shouted: "Take care, General." Then he killed him without thinking.

Dong Zhuo saw Bian Zhang.

"Old Bian, how are you, old Bian?" Dong Zhuo yelled after chopping off the enemy's head.

Bian Zhang glared at him, but ignored him.

"Old Bian, I'll cut off your head immediately, haha..."

"Boys, go ahead, cut off the old man's head, and reward fifty horses..."

The Xiliang cavalry went crazy, and their forward speed suddenly accelerated.

Roaring, killing, screaming, the clashing of knives and guns, and the neighing of war horses filled the entire area around the banner in an instant.

The light of the knife carried a rain of blood, and human heads shone under the light of the fire, which was shocking.

Dong Zhuo pointed at Bian Zhang and laughed loudly: "Old Bian, look at me taking your head." After speaking, he raised his knife and fell, beheading several people, and rushed to a distance of more than ten steps away from Bian Zhang.

Bian Zhang smiled coldly and raised the short crossbow in his hand.This is the weapon Han Sui used, and it was specially left for him to defend himself before he left.Bian Zhang doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't have much strength, so he just dies when he goes to the battlefield.But he insisted on staying and commanding the blocking force, and Han Sui had no choice.

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "How dare you kill me..."

Before the words were finished, the five short crossbows roared with thrilling stern whistles.

Dong Zhuo didn't even think about it, rolled over and fell off the horse, and at the same time stabbed the horse's ass with a knife.The war horse was stabbed by Dong Zhuo, and it flew into the air in pain.All five short crossbows shot into the horse's body in an instant, without a trace.

The war horse hissed miserably, and with the last of its strength, it slammed into Bian Zhang.
