The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 29: General Zhonglang

The ground was shaking, trampled by countless iron hooves. The black cavalry was like a ghost, starting to accelerate three hundred steps outside the camp. When it reached the camp gate, it was the time when the speed was maximum.

After a night of fighting, Sun Jian's army was already exhausted, and even the soldiers guarding the archery tower fell into a deep sleep.

No one would have thought that the Xiliang army would launch a second attack. After all, Sun Jian had just led an army to ambush Hua Xiong.

In the blink of an eye, the Xiliang army came in again.

There were bursts of screams, and countless rockets shot out and landed on the tent, instantly igniting a raging fire.

The sleeping soldiers were burned by the flames and fled one after another. They were greeted by the violent Xiliang soldiers.

Having just been defeated, they finally had a chance to take revenge. How could they give up so easily? They drew their swords one after another and attacked the enemy.

Poor Sun Jian's army, they didn't even have weapons in their hands, let alone breastplates. They didn't even have a chance to resist, and they were all killed one after another.

"Behead Sun Jian."

Under the light of the fire, Qin Shou led the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion and charged towards the Chinese army's tent.

Sun Jian was awakened from his sleep by Huang Gai.

"Lord, hurry up, the Xiliang army has rushed into the camp."

Huang Gai looked panicked and took Sun Jian to escape towards the tent.

"Ah! How is it possible? How did the Xiliang army come to kill them? Didn't they withdraw?"

Sun Jian is still confused. It is clear that the Xiliang army has been defeated, why are they still coming now?

"Don't leave Sun Jian."

A roar came from the chaotic army.

Like a basin of cold water, Sun Jian was awakened. He saw Qin Shou in the distance, holding a sword in his hand, killing towards him.

"Qin Shou!"

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Shou.

You don't need to think about it to know that the one who can come up with this plan is definitely not Hua Xiong. Only Qin Shou has the possibility to kill him by surprise.

Looking at the chaotic camp in front of him and the soldiers fleeing in all directions, Sun Jian's heart bleeds. These soldiers are the foundation of his career. They were recruited with great effort and painstaking training on weekdays. Only then did he have tens of thousands of soldiers. The army was destroyed here today.

"Lord, leave quickly."

Han Dang was brandishing a broadsword, without any armor on him, and was in a very embarrassed state. He was only followed by a few soldiers and urged loudly.

"Lord, all the Xiliang army has entered the camp. Get out of here quickly."

Cheng Pu also came over with his soldiers.

Sun Jian looked in all directions and saw that the entire camp was in chaos. Countless soldiers were being massacred. Some soldiers had begun to flee. However, more soldiers were being surrounded and killed by the Xiliang army.

In the camp, screams, begging for mercy, and proud and wild laughter could be heard everywhere.

"Qin Shou, I swear to kill you!"

Sun Jian roared angrily and finally turned around and left.

The situation is over, even if Sun Wu comes back to life, it will be impossible to save the current situation.

This was already a one-sided massacre, and his own soldiers were the targets of the massacre.

Sun Jian felt very depressed, because facing this situation, he had no way to change it and could only flee in confusion.

Who's to blame?

Qin Shou? Hua Xiong? And Yuan Shu.

Yes, it's Yuan Shu. If the other party hadn't deducted food and grass, I could have arranged it calmly. How could I be taken advantage of by the other party? There wouldn't be today's disastrous defeat.

Sun Jian found the culprit. With murderous intent in his eyes, he slapped Suanzao and ran away. He wanted to settle the score with Yuan Shu. At this moment, there was still a unilateral massacre in Sun Jian's camp. This situation became more serious especially after Sun Jian and others escaped.

The fighting continued until dawn.

Qin Shou held the sword in both hands, one hand held a light sword, and the other hand was an ancient ingot sword.

The Hanguang sword is as breathtaking as autumn water, while the ancient ingot sword looks simple and heavy. It is said that this sword was made by Ou Yezi from different iron and is extremely sharp.

It is not impossible for military commanders to hold double swords in their hands, but the general double swords follow the pure and spiritual route, winning with speed, but whether it is the Hanguang sword or the ancient ingot sword, they are both heavy and heavy.

Ordinary people cannot wave it with one hand for a long time, not to mention, now with the ancient ingot knife, it is even more difficult to wave it with both hands.

But none of this seemed to be a problem for Qin Shou. He held the sword in both hands and waved it for a moment, looking very relaxed. The two swords in his hands were as light as straw.

Watching Hua Xiong’s mouth twitch.

He couldn't imagine that Qin Shou was so brave with a single sword. With two swords in hand, could anyone resist him?

However, all this has nothing to do with him. Now the two sides are on the same camp.

"My dear brother, today's victory is a victory for you. When I get back later, I will report it to the Prime Minister immediately. I believe that the Prime Minister will definitely give you a promotion." Hua Xiong looked at the battlefield in front of him with high spirits.

"It is because of the general's command and the soldiers' dedication that we can achieve today's victory. The last general will not dare to take the credit."

Qin Shou said quickly.

Although Hua Xiong did not take any credit for this battle, everyone carried the sedan chair. Qin Shou, who was well versed in the rules of the workplace, naturally would not take all the credit for himself. He was not the reckless man like Lu Bu.

Sure enough, Hua Xiong laughed happily after hearing this.

Of course he knew his own weight. If it weren't for Qin Shou in this battle, he could only huddle at Sishui Pass and let Sun Jian jump around outside. He had no choice but to win, and it was impossible to win.

"Let's go back and report to the Prime Minister. I believe you will become a general soon."

Hua Xiong laughed loudly, got on his horse, and headed towards Sishui Pass.

Sure enough, the battle report flew to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo was overjoyed.

"Haha, this Qin Yilu is really powerful. He first killed Zu Mao, then defeated Sun Jian, and solved the siege of Sishui Pass."

Dong Zhuo handed the battle report to everyone with a proud look on his face.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister, for getting another good general."

Li Ru quickly congratulated.

The faces of the other generals in the hall also had complicated expressions.

"Send the order and confer Qin Shou the title of Zhonglang General and allow him to expand his army by ten thousand."

Dong Zhuo burst out laughing, suddenly slapping his thighs, his eyes flashing fiercely.

"What a shame that Yuan Shao is ungrateful and ignorant of God's grace. He actually conspired to rebel and kill the nine tribes. I will take the lead and lead my troops to kill Yuan Wei and his family."

"Yes."

Lu Bu was overjoyed after hearing this. Doing such a thing would mean money. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family had no idea how much money they had. Even if they led the army on a journey, they didn't know how much money they could get.

The Prime Minister is still generous.

Lu Bu led the army away happily, but he never thought that Yuan Wei was a famous scholar, and if he died like this at the hands of Lu Bu, wouldn't the world hate Lu Bu.

"Now that Sishui Pass has been cleared, let Hua Xiong and Qin Shou lead the troops to Hulao Pass to resist the enemy."

Dong Zhuo then ordered: "You guys should also make preparations. I am preparing to fight against the rats from Guandong at Hulao Pass."

"Yes."

The generals responded one after another.
