Take a train to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 146 Dong Zhuo Goes to Battle
In front of Hulao Pass.

The allied forces of the princes have been fighting with Dong Zhuo's defenders for a whole day.

Under the pass, the corpses of the alliance of princes fell to the ground.

Above the pass, Dong Zhuo's army and horses, as the guard side, occupy the geographical advantage of Hulao Pass, and the damage is smaller than that of the allied princes' side, but their morale is low, which is not optimistic.

Dong Zhuo sat down on the main seat above the meeting hall with a gloomy expression, listening to the generals report on the situation of the day.

Guo Si: "Report to the Prime Minister that today the number of soldiers killed in battle is [-], and more than [-] were injured."

Dong Zhuo was unmoved, and 5000 people died, which is more or less, but the defenders on the side of the city were the former Hulaoguan garrison and the Luoyang garrison brought over. Cool soldiers and horses did not participate in the defense of the city.

Li Jue: "Report to the Xiangguo, the rolling logs and falling rocks consume a lot today. If it continues for another five days, the defense equipment may be exhausted."

Anger flashed across Dong Zhuo's fat face. He didn't care about dealing with the coalition army of the princes. He didn't even intend to defend the city. This made Dong Zhuo, who had been going smoothly for the past two years, very annoyed.

Li Su: "Report to Xiangguo: There is an obvious damage in the southeast of Hulao pass, please send troops to repair it!"

The damage here was first caused by the boulders thrown by the catapults made by the allied princes' army, and then the targets of the next catapults were all aimed at that place, so the breach became bigger and bigger, even It's about to penetrate that place.

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately said, "Let's leave it to you to close the gap as soon as possible, and don't let those thieves lurk in."

"promise!"

Li Su took the order and immediately resigned.

"Where's Lu Bu? Where's Feng Xian, my son?"

After scanning around, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked.

Fan Chou, who was waiting below, immediately stepped out and replied: "The last general saw General Lu practicing martial arts on the school field behind."

"understood."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said.

This Lv Bu did not participate in this battle of guarding the pass. As the number one master in Luoyang, he is good at fighting alone, and he is also good at leading the army in battle. Just letting him defend the city has shocked his dignity, so he unexpectedly I directly asked Dong Zhuo not to participate in this guard.Dong Zhuo also felt grudges because Lu Bu lost his red rabbit horse, so he agreed.

Now that he heard that Lu Bu was actually practicing martial arts, he sneered in his heart and said: Don't you think it's too late to sharpen your gun before the battle?
"Okay, let's go down!"

Dong Zhuo ordered them all to disperse, leaving only a few guards and a few attendants in the entire hall.

The quiet atmosphere can always make people think deeply, and so is Dong Zhuo.

In the past, he slept on the battlefield with gold and iron horses, and now he is accompanied by good wine, good meat and beautiful women. Dong Zhuo couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw his body that had grown from a body of fat to a large circle of fat: "It turns out that the days pass so quickly. , I almost forgot how I used to climb from a small soldier to a general who led tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry."

Dong Zhuo turned around and went back to his room, took out from the box the armor he wore most often on the battlefield, gently stroked every scratch of the sword, and then put on the armor again. armor.

"Tomorrow, I will let those thieves know that I, Dong Zhuo, will definitely not be provoked by their mob!"

At the same time, in the camp of the alliance army of princes, Gao Shun, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and other princes left behind by Lin Xun were also discussing today's results.

The Allied Army of the Princes suffered heavy losses today. The several battles organized by Gao Shun were resisted by the stubborn defenders of Hulao Pass, and the desperate catapults did not achieve good results. Therefore, there is no progress today. It even lost nearly ten thousand soldiers, and not long ago, the eighteen princes had a quarrel with the current supreme commander for the dead soldiers.

"Why are all my soldiers attacking the city and attacking the vanguard?!"

Gao Shun was speechless.

"Why didn't you send soldiers from Sun Jian or Gongsun Zan?"

Another group of princes expressed their dissatisfaction by naming names.

Gao Shun said nothing again.

Most of Sun Jian's soldiers are proficient in water skills, and they are powerful in water combat, but they may not be suitable for siege warfare, and Gongsun Zan brings more cavalry, which is even more unsuitable as cannon fodder for siege.

Then the princes from all walks of life quarreled with each other because of some problems, and in the end they even questioned Gao Shun's command ability.

The scene was very chaotic.

Gao Shun, who was tireless, slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Enough!"

"I am the supreme commander appointed by the alliance leader. Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with according to military law!"

Gao Shun snorted angrily.

The princes from all walks of life just remembered that although Lin Xun is gone now, they are still just hostages in the hands of others, and their lives are in the hands of others.

All of a sudden, the princes from all walks of life were collectively silent.

"Take a good rest today and fight again tomorrow!"

Gao Shun ordered.

This battle of Hulao cannot be broken in a day, and he is even ready for a long-term battle.

However, when the allied forces of the princes prepared to attack Hulao Pass the next day with a large number of siege equipment, they saw that the Hulao Pass was wide open.

Inside the pass, Dong Zhuo led alone, followed by Lu Bu, and behind him were the tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry he had brought.

Then, under Dong Zhuo's order, the original defenders changed their roles and became the active attackers. The [-] Xiliang iron cavalry began to charge first, followed by more Hulao pass soldiers!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Dong Zhuo rushed into the coalition army of princes like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and with Lu Bu guarding him, it was as if he had entered a land of no one, slashing and killing frantically.

And the Xiliang iron cavalry in the rear also showed the power of the first cavalry of the Han Dynasty, attacking the alliance army of princes several times their size.

As the supreme commander of the alliance army of princes, Gao Shun also immediately ordered to adopt a defensive posture.

However, due to the large number of people, it was inconvenient to convey orders, and the battle strategy at the beginning of the day was a siege battle. Under the active attack led by Dong Zhuo, the alliance army of the princes was torn apart by the charging Xiliang cavalry. Completely broke the offensive trend of the princes alliance army.

On this day, the allied army of princes was defeated!

Lin Xun, who was far away in Chenliu, didn't know about this, and he was also receiving Hua Tuo's treatment at the moment.

The existence of Hua Tuo is also the reason for Lin Xun's courage to fight and fight. As long as his life is still alive, there is still hope.

And sure enough, under Hua Tuo's witchcraft treatment, the sword wound on Lin Xun's left chest has healed, and he only needs to rest for a month to heal completely.

But Lin Xun couldn't just wait like this. He had to go back and have a look after he had been away from the Alliance of Princes for so long.
