Chapter 62: Battle of Hulao Pass

Chen Lang raised his sword and shouted sternly: "All soldiers follow the orders, charge and break the enemy!" The fifty thousand soldiers were full of enthusiasm, shouting loudly and rushing out, like a **** breaking torrent, crushing the current Gongsun Zan cavalry in one fell swoop, and heading towards the coalition army. It rushes away like a tide and is unstoppable like a torrent!

The coalition forces were seized and beaten all of a sudden. The army of more than one million was beaten by Chen Lang's army of less than 60,000 and suffered heavy losses in a row.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Cao Cao couldn't take care of preserving his strength. He led his 50,000 paces to reach the enemy Chen Lang bravely. At the same time, under the leadership of Sun Ce, Wanyu Jiangdong War Cavalry smashed straight from the outside to the side of the Yingyang Army War Cavalry, and the Yingyang Army War Cavalry was killed off guard. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chun Yuqiong hurriedly led the war cavalry to stop attacking the enemy army, and turned to face the Jiangdong army war cavalry. Both sides had casualties in a fierce battle.

On the other side, Cao Cao’s army, together with Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng’s army, finally resisted the onslaught of the opponent’s momentum, and turned to counterattack the opponent, relying on the absolute advantage of force to gradually reverse the situation, and the situation gradually turned against Chen Lang’s side. .

Seeing that the time was missing, Chen Lang decisively ordered the troops to retreat into the city. All armies left the battle and retreated into the city. The coalition forces chased down to the city gate, but was stopped by the arrow rain on the wall, stopped advancing, and retreated into the camp. A big battle came to an end.

Chun Yuqiong hugged Chen Lang with a look of shame: "General, our army failed to break through the opponent in one fell swoop! On the contrary, we lost more than a thousand people! Please punish the army!"

Chen Lang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "You have done a good job! Disrupted several princes and territories, making the entire coalition army in chaos, and winning the opportunity for our army to counterattack. But I didn't. I thought that the Jiangdong cavalry would make arrangements in advance to attack you from the flanks." Gan Ning said with annoyance: "If the Jiangdong cavalry had not suddenly attacked the flank of the Tiger Cardiac Army, our army might have defeated them in this battle!" Guan Yu frowned: " It seems that there are still some capable people in the coalition!"

Chen Lang thought of Zhou Yu, and smiled: "It must be Zhou Yu. Sure enough, I actually expected that I would arrange ambushes outside the city in advance and take care of it." Guan Yu frowned and said: "A young man who can play the piano can have such a skill. "Chen Lang chuckled and said, "He is not just a young man who can just play the piano. If this person is not a little narrow-minded, he may be invulnerable!" Guan Yu looked unbelievable.

Chen Lang said to the generals: "Although our army has taken a lot of advantage in this battle, the loss is not small. All the armies should hurry to rest, and the real fierce battle is yet to come!" The generals clasped their fists and promised.

In the Great Tent of the Allied Forces, all the princes looked depressed.

Yuan Shuxin said with lingering fears: "Unexpectedly, Chen Lang was so powerful that tens of thousands of horses almost defeated us!" The princes couldn't help feeling the same. Yuan Shao glanced at the crowd and said angrily: "The dignified righteous teacher was actually frustrated by the mere rebellion!"

Cao Cao stood up and said to everyone, "You don't need to panic at all. Although Chen Lang and Ying Yangjun are powerful, we are no worse than him. The reason why we suffered a little loss today is entirely because of his tricks." Zhang Fei Loudly said: "Cao Cao is right! Isn't it just a small loss? How come all of them are like dead mothers!" Everyone was a little embarrassed, and Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk more!" Zhang Fei didn't speak anymore, but the expression still looked contemptuous.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I am a little happy."

Everyone was puzzled, and Yuan Shao said in an angry manner: "Our army suffered a loss, why are you still happy Meng De?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Although we have suffered, Chen Lang's tricks have been resolved by us. But in this situation, it is impossible for him to use any tricks. He can only fight us dignifiedly. ! And our coalition forces more than one million, facing a confrontation, it is only a matter of time to defeat him!" Everyone whispered, feeling that Cao Cao made a lot of sense, and they couldn't help regaining their fighting spirit.

Sun Jian said: "We must also beware of the other party's sneak attack on the camp."

Cao Cao praised: "Wentai reminded us. We are facing Chen Lang. We must not be careless. He may attack us at any time, and our armed forces must take turns to guard." Everyone nodded.

Early the next morning, the coalition forces began a fierce attack on the city, and the offensive continued for several days. Although Chen Lang had a favorable geographical position, the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for Chen Lang.

The coalition forces attacked continuously for several days, and the losses were not small, but they still failed to break the barrier. Cao Cao suggested that the 18th princes should be divided into two groups, one way to continue attacking Baoshuiguan, and the other to Hulaoguan to attack. Yuan Shao immediately adopted it, and ordered Sun Jian, Wang Kuang, Qiao Rong, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan to transfer to Hulao Pass, headed by Sun Jian, and Yuan Shao himself and the other eight princes stay Boshuiguan continued to attack.

Sun Jian and other princes of the Nine Routes immediately set off to kill and run to Hulao Pass. Yuan Shao and others stayed at Bangshuiguan to continue their attacks. For a few more days, there was no progress in the battle.

Suddenly a good news came that night, saying that Sun Jian's army of nine-way princes had won several battles in Hulao Pass, and Hulao Pass could be captured soon. Yuan Shu couldn't help getting jealous and said to Yuan Shao privately; "Brother, then Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger. If he is allowed to break the Tiger Prison and enter Luoyang, it will not drive the wolf to meet the tiger, I am afraid that the harm is even more than that of Dong Zhuo!"

Yuan Shao was a little worried at first. After hearing what Yuan Shu said, he became even more worried, frowning and asked, "What are your ideas?"

Yuan Shudao: "It's better to hold the grain and grass, so that Sun Jian and the others can hardly attack with all their strength, or let us break through here first!" Yuan Shaoshen agreed and immediately followed suit. At the same time, he ordered the Jiulu princes here to attack with all their strength. . The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought endless **** battles at Boshui Pass. The fierce battles began from morning to night and from night to morning. The coalition forces continued to attack each other. The corpses were already piled up under the Boshui Pass, and the wreckage of various siege equipment was scattered on the wilderness; and Dong Zhuojun and Ying Yangjun at the city pass were also dead and wounded, and there was no time to clean the bodies of the fallen soldiers every day.

On the other side, Sun Jian and other princes of the Nine Routes were in a good situation and were about to break the barrier in one fell swoop, but they didn't want to have enough food and grass, and the attack was forced to stop. The defenders closed in Hulao got a respite and hurriedly asked Luoyang for help while resting and preparing for the battle.

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he received the urgent report from Hulaoguan, and hurriedly gathered the civil and military personnel to discuss matters.

Li Ru said in a flustered manner: "Taishi, the princes of the East are so many and powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist, it is better to give up Luoyang and retreat to Chang'an." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be moved. When Jia Xu saw this, he immediately said: "Never!" Everyone looked at Jia Xu, and Li Ru frowned and revealed an unpleasant color.

Jia Xu said, "Taishi, although the princes of the East are crowded and powerful, the situation today is actually good for us! General Yingyang stubbornly resisted the Eighteenth Route princes at Bangshuiguan, causing heavy losses, so they Only then were the troops divided and attacked the Hulao Pass. I think at this moment, as long as the Taishi conquered the Hulao Pass and defeated Sun Jian and other nine princes, the Eastern princes must fall apart! At that time, the Taishi will be able to stabilize the Central Plains and enter the world!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately said: "What Jia Xu said is exactly what I want!" Then he preached to Lu: "My son, immediately pass the order, all the soldiers and horses will be assembled, and they will go to Hulao Pass today!" Lu Bu clasped his fists and promised and ran away. Go down.

Sun Jian and others were inefficient and repeatedly urged Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to ask for food and grass, but they did not get a positive answer, but the food and grass did not come. Sun Jian caught fire and rushed to Yuan Shu's camp personally to question Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu had no words to answer, so he pushed the matter to one of his counsellors, saying that he had offered slander and slashed him, and then promised to distribute food to Sun Jian and other troops immediately. Sun Jian gave up and returned to his barracks.

Yuan Shu approached Yuan Shao to discuss. Yuan Shao felt that Yuan Shu had embarrassed himself, so he annoyed and blamed Yuan Shu for quick delivery. Yuan Shu touched his nose, so he had to quickly distribute food to Sun Jian and other princes of the Nine Routes.

Sun Jian and the rest of the army got food and grass, their morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately rushed to Hulao Pass again. Just as the war was stalemate, the vanguard led by Lu Bu arrived and went out to counterattack. You must not be brave! The princes of the Nine Routes lost a few streaks and retreated more than ten miles. Lü Bu led the cavalry to challenge the coalition Dazhai, and the princes were afraid of Lü Bu not to fight. Seeing that the princes were useless, Zhang Fei was very annoyed. He raised his spear and jumped on a horse to fight against Lu Bu, and he was completely defeated by the sun. There are more than a hundred rounds regardless of the outcome! Seeing this fierce battle, the princes couldn't help but pale and couldn't help themselves.

After more than a hundred rounds, Zhang Fei gradually showed his unsupportive appearance, but with bravery and fearlessness, he was still able to fight against Lu Bu. Seeing this scene, Liu Bei couldn't help feeling distraught, and worried that Zhang Fei might have missed something! At this moment, a general suddenly rushed out of Dazhai and rushed toward the battle group! Everyone hurriedly looked at it, and saw that the white horse and silver spear were heroic! Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he murmured: "Who is this person?" An officer under Liu Bei recognized that person, so he said, "He is a general under Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun!" Liu Bei even remembered this name in his heart. .

Zhao Yun joined the battle group, his silver spear flew up and down like a silver dragon to attack Lu Bu, anxious and powerful! Lu Bu quickly parry! Zhang Fei suddenly felt the pressure drop suddenly, couldn't help but be full of fighting spirit, yelled, swung the eight snake spear and furiously counterattacked Lu Bu! Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei are both the current fierce generals of the moment. This joint onslaught is like a landslide, the ground and the stormy waves! The bravery of Rao Yilu Bu has become dwarfed! All the soldiers of the coalition army boiled with enthusiasm, the drums rumbling and thunder continued without stopping; the huge shouts were wave after wave, like a tide!

The two sides fought for another seventy or eighty rounds, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei joined forces and still couldn't fight Lu Bu. At this time, the guy with big ears Liu Bei rushed out of the military village with two swords, and shouted: "Liu Bei is here too!"
