Chapter 20 Burning Luo Yang
"Damn it! The whole army retreats, retreats to Wuguan, everyone, don't mess up, they can't beat us with fewer people!"

Xu Rong found out that he had been tricked. Although he panicked for a while, he calmed down immediately and responded calmly.

Although he was caught in the trick, the Jizhou Army's siege of Wuguan was too small to really keep him.

It's just that the army he led on his behalf is still dominated by recruits, so there is some chaos now, but he immediately controlled it.

Xu Rong led the troops back immediately, although Qu Yi shot and killed hundreds of infantry, but the effect was not great.

Responding calmly, leading four thousand recruits to retreat urgently, Han Wu saw this scene on the top of the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Xu Rong is indeed a general. Although his personal force is not very strong, his ability to lead troops is better than Pan Feng's!"

"Although it is definitely not as good as the fierce generals summoned from the God of War summoning system, it is already very good."

Han Wu nodded slightly, thinking in his heart that he valued Xu Rong more.

Although such a veteran is not as good as Cao Cao's five sons in the future, he must be similar.

The current Jizhou army is short of troops and there are not many generals who can be dispatched. Xu Rong's strength is very important to Han Wu.

"My lord, it seems that you like this Xu Rong very much, and he is indeed a general. If he can be recruited, the Jizhou Army must be even more powerful!"

Guo Jia stood beside Han Wu, he was very good at observing words and expressions, and he could see that Han Wu wanted to surrender Xu Rong.

Han Wu naturally nodded slightly, he was afraid that Xu Rong was a foolish and loyal person, loyal to Dong Zhuo.

"Xu Rong, a veteran, can be regarded as a usable talent, especially as he can be used as a team of surprise soldiers."

"If he can complete your next plan, then Jizhou will be safe and sound, and Yuan Shao will be greatly injured."

Han Wu nodded slightly, and he said something quietly, while watching Dian Wei charge Xu Rong.

Xu Rong led his troops to retreat quickly, and Dian Wei happened to lead six or seven hundred cavalry to charge Xu Rong.

"I'm Dian Wei, the soldiers of Xiliang surrendered but not killed, those who resist will surely die!"

Dian Wei yelled on his horse, and rushed in from the flank of Xu Rong's army, and the Xiliang army who passed by fell to the ground.

Dian Wei killed each of these recruits one by one with a halberd, and he was quite violent and ferocious.

"It's Dian Wei! It's the Dian Wei who beheaded General Hua Xiong, I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!"

Seeing a group of cavalry rushing towards them, and the leader turned out to be Dian Wei who beheaded Hua Xiong, these recruits were frightened.

Just being ambushed was already in chaos, and now they were attacked by a group of cavalry, and the psychological defense of these recruits completely collapsed.

Hundreds of Xiliang recruits knelt on the ground and surrendered, and hundreds of Xiliang veterans fled towards Wuguan.

"No one is allowed to surrender, hurry back to Wuguan, we will not be in danger, no one is allowed to surrender!"

Seeing these recruits surrender one after another, Xu Rong was furious, but there was nothing the recruits could do.

The Xiliang veterans all understood the situation of the battle, and the current situation could completely escape, so the veterans all fled to Wuguan.

Xu Rong saw that the situation was not good, nearly [-] recruits knelt down and surrendered, and Xu Rong couldn't stop it.

He had no choice but to ride his horse and escape quickly. Xu Rong didn't dare to confront Dian Wei head-on, he had to evacuate quickly.

Dian Wei didn't pursue him. Although he was a rough man, he knew he couldn't catch Xu Rong.

After all, nearly [-] recruits from the Xiliang Army have been captured here, and there needs to be enough manpower to control them, and such achievements are not bad.

Seeing that Dian Wei had stopped chasing him, Xu Rong was also relieved, but there were quite a lot of people lost.

And just when Xu Rong felt that he could escape back to Wuguan, he was shocked suddenly, because another cavalry team rushed over from the left wing.

It seems that there are still less than a thousand enemy troops, but the cavalry is extremely restrained against the infantry!
"Quick! Everyone hasten to flee back to Wuguan. There is a refusal formation in front of us. Don't worry that they will take the opportunity to attack the city!"

Xu Rong sped up his escape, and Yuwen Chengdu rushed directly to Xu Rong's army and launched an assault.

Yuwen Chengdu has been hiding nearby, and he is just waiting for this opportunity to capture Xu Rong directly.

This is something that Yuwen Chengdu has already planned. He promises that even if Xu Rong cannot be caught, he will keep his part.

"Kill! Kill all these Xiliang thieves, show off our Jizhou army, show off our Jizhou army!"

Yu Wencheng yelled loudly, and the cavalry under him suddenly became imposing, and launched an assault on the defeated Xiliang army.

He rushed directly into these Xiliang defeated troops, and these people were killed directly, without even a chance to surrender.

Yuwen Chengdu was more brutal here once, and the cavalry team he led was like a pack of wolves, murderous.

Accompanied by the wailing of Xiliang soldiers, they were stabbed to the ground one by one, and even directly beheaded.

"General, you retreat to the pass first, we come to the rear! You go, we will cover you!"

Xu Rong's two lieutenants saw the extraordinary force of the comer, and they knew that no one would be able to escape if there was no one in the rear.

Xu Rong didn't hesitate at all, he rode his horse and rushed towards Wuguan with all his strength, and the deputy guarding the gate hurriedly opened the gate.

"The thief will leave, and I, Yu Wencheng, will take your dog's life!"

Seeing that Xu Rong was about to flee back to Wuguan, Yu Wencheng was furious. He tried his best to catch up, but was stopped by two lieutenants returning on horseback.

Without any hesitation, Yu Wencheng quickly waved his phoenix wings and cast gold, knocking the two lieutenants to the ground!

Seeing this, Yu Wencheng's soldiers went to the market, got off their horses, tied up the two lieutenants of Xu Rong, and surrounded the Xiliang soldiers.

Nearly [-] to [-] Xiliang veterans and less than [-] recruits fled back to Wuguan, but Yu Wencheng was unable to continue the pursuit.

Continuing to chase, he entered the range of Wuguan's arrow, and was easily suppressed by the guards of Wuguan with arrow feathers.

"Surrender Xiliang's soldiers, let's withdraw the troops and escort these two guys down, let the lord handle it himself!"

Yuwen Chengdu yelled domineeringly, and his soldiers all shouted, yelling Yuwen Chengdu's name.

In this battle, Yuwen Chengdu became even more famous in the Jizhou army, and he vaguely became the god of the Jizhou army.

Dian Wei saw this scene, although his heart was fanatical, but he was very jealous of Yu Wencheng.

Yuwen Chengdu's force is no longer inferior to his own, but Dian Wei knows that he is not the same as Yuwen Chengdu, he is the lord's guardian.

And Yuwen Chengdu is more like a general. Dian Wei doesn't want to be a general, he just wants to be Han Wu's meat shield.

Yuwen Chengdu and Dianwei withdrew their troops one after another, and they all rushed like a big battalion, escorting nearly [-] soldiers who had surrendered from Xiliang.

Most of these Xiliang soldiers were people from the Sili area who were forced to serve as soldiers, not brutal Xiliang soldiers.

Moreover, these recruits had just joined the army, so they could easily be assimilated by the Jizhou Army. Han Wu valued this very much.

Dian Wei handed over all the captives to his soldiers for escort, while he rode his horse to Han Wu's side.

Protecting Han Wu is the top priority for Dian Wei, no matter how much he has contributed, he will always remember his duty.

"Okay! Dianwei, this time you have made meritorious service again, and you will be rewarded when you go back! Haha!"

Han Wu laughed loudly. For a strong man like Dian Wei, it can be said that Han Wu liked it very much, and hoped that he could form a guard team.

Above Wuguan, Xu Rong gritted his teeth. His strength was greatly reduced, and he was still defeated by the Jizhou army, which was far weaker than himself.

This time, Xu Rong completely lost the ability to take the initiative to attack again, even if he broke through, there was not much possibility.

The Jizhou army has won a complete victory, and this time it must be really high. In addition, with so many troops at any time, it is no longer able to fight anymore.

And once the Jizhou Army assimilates those new recruits, Wuguan will be in crisis under the ups and downs.

"We can't give up on Wuguan. Once Wuguan is lost, there will be a flat plain in Luoyang, and the Prime Minister will be in danger!"

"How much food and grass do we have? I didn't expect that the Jizhou army would still work hard here, and they took the opportunity to burn the food and grass."

Xu Rong was sweating profusely now. Although he managed to escape back to Wuguan, he was already powerless to fight again.

All the food and grass had been burned. It is estimated that the current food and grass are not enough for the army's three-day ration.

"Return to the general, there are still five days of food and grass left, but Luoyang's official road to escort the food and grass has been cut off by the Jizhou army."

"We don't have any sources of supplies, and the west side of Wuguan was also trapped in the horse formation by the Jizhou army, making it difficult to break through."

The deputy general who originally guarded Wuguan is now sweating profusely, and the food and grass have been burned, which is a great crime for him.

Fortunately, Xu Rong didn't seem to blame him, so he dared to report the situation to Xu Rong, even though the situation is not good now.

Hearing the deputy general's report, Xu Rong couldn't help sighing, he turned around and walked down the wall.

In Han Wu's barracks, Dian Wei and Yu Wencheng were standing behind him, while two of Xu Rong's lieutenants were kneeling on the ground in front of him.

Walking in front of the two lieutenants with a smile, Han Wu personally untied the two lieutenants, but Dian Wei was always vigilant.

The two lieutenants were shocked suddenly, and their hearts softened, although the idea of ​​controlling Han Wu also arose in their hearts.

But Dian Wei's two halberds could kill them at any time. The two lieutenants firstly moved Han Wu, and secondly, they dared not control Han Wu.

"Both are fierce generals under General Xu Rong. I don't want to embarrass you. I just want you to take a look at this thing and give it to Xu Rong."

"This is an order from your prime minister. The scouts of our Jizhou Army intercepted the secret order, and it also has Dong Zhuo's seal on it. Take it back and show Xu Rong."

Han Wu smiled slightly, he handed a bamboo slip to the two lieutenants of Xu Rong, and then prepared to let them go.

Although Dian Wei was puzzled as to why the lord would do this, he didn't say much, just watched quietly.

The two lieutenants looked at me, and I looked at you. One of the lieutenants, who could read, glanced at the contents of the bamboo slips and was shocked!
The lieutenant general who could read immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Han Wu, and escaped from the Jizhou camp with another lieutenant general.

When he was about to reach Wuguan, another lieutenant who could not read directly asked his doubts.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, you still want to kowtow to that yellow-mouthed kid!"

"You know what! This is the order from the prime minister. He wants us to die in Wuguan! No, it's not the prime minister. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, and he will flee to Chang'an tomorrow!"

"He asked General Xu Rong to guard Wuguan to the death. Once the allied forces of the princes invade Luoyang, we will have no way out!"

After hearing what his companion said, the lieutenant general who could not read immediately felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly felt like a pain in his back.
