The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 55 A crushing defeat

Dian Wei became a personal soldier and captain to protect Qin Shou.

After Zhu Jun in Zhongmou City got the news, he drew his sword and slashed at several cases with a gloomy look on his face and murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He was really frustrated.

The messenger soldiers he sent actually defected to others.

He glared at Zhang Miao fiercely. This incompetent guy couldn't even look down on his own people. He was so incompetent.

"The junior general is so incompetent that he makes the old general laugh."

Zhang Miao's face was gloomy and uncertain. He did feel ashamed and angry. He was really frustrated.

He had heard of Dian Wei's name. Although he came from a poor family and was ugly, he was powerful and fought bravely. But now he had taken refuge with Qin Shou. How could he not be angry?

"never mind."

Zhu Jun sighed: "Now that Qin Shou knows our army's intentions, I am worried about the safety of Kong Yuzhou."

Zhang Miao felt even more bitter after hearing this. He seemed to have seen Kong Min's failure, and the reinforcements along the way were defeated by the enemy.

Kong Min, who was far away in Yuzhou, didn't know the two people's worries.

He and Xu Jing led fifteen thousand troops towards Yang City.

"Zhu Gongwei is getting old after all. He was so strong back then. Look at him now, with only ten thousand people around him, and food and grass are still scraped together from everywhere." Xu Jing shook his head and said.

As one of the main generals who wiped out the Yellow Turbans, Zhu Jun was very powerful at that time. One-third of the country's army was in his hands, and he had countless fierce generals. When he gave an order, he didn't know how many people obeyed his orders.

Where is it like today, where you still have to act based on other people's faces.

"This time we are not responding to Zhu Gongwei, but for ourselves. Qin Shoudong went out of Luoyang to collect the population. He clearly wanted to rebuild the eastern capital of Luoyang. The other party occupied Hulao, Xuanyuan and other passes. Soldiers and horses would appear at any time. Our Yuzhou is close to Luoyang. You will encounter harassment from the other party.”

Kong Min shook his head.

He responded to Zhu Jun not because of Zhu Jun's reputation, but for his own consideration. It was actually because Luoyang was too close to Yuzhou and Qin Shou's army would invade Yuzhou at any time, so he came with his army.

"My lord, my subordinates have heard of Qin Shou's reputation. This man is very brave. We'd better be careful." He Zhu, the general beside him, was a little worried.

After hearing this, Kong Min immediately said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid Qin Shou doesn't have time to take care of us at this time. His target is Zhu Gongwei, who made General Zhu famous."

Xu Jing nodded after hearing this, and said: "What my lord said is true. Zhu Gongwei's reputation is too loud, and with Zhang Miao's troops, although Qin Shou is brave and good at fighting, his target can only be Zhu Gongwei."

Although these words seemed a bit presumptuous, Kong Min and Xu Jing had seen Qin Shou's strength and knew that they were no match for the opponent with their own strength.

"This place is still within my Yuzhou territory. Qin Shou may be very brave, but he would never dare to act recklessly here." Kong Min pointed at the mountains and forests in front of him with a hint of contentment on his face.

This is your own territory. If you work hard, you may not be able to achieve a career. There are many talented people in Yingchuan. After defeating Qin Shou, I will take a trip here to see if I can hire some capable people. Work for yourself.

"What my lord said is true." Xu Jing also said slowly: "This place is hundreds of miles away from Zhongmou. Although Qin Shou is brave, he will never dare to come to our Yuzhou territory to act recklessly."

"Report, report, there are cavalry coming from the front."

At this moment, a sentinel rushed over from a distance, reporting the news loudly. The two people's expressions changed after hearing this, and when they were about to ask, they felt the earth shaking, and a sound like thunder rang in their ears. The two people looked, and sure enough they saw countless cavalry appearing on the horizon, heading towards them. .

"How is it possible? How can there be enemies?"

Kong Niao's complexion changed drastically, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear. He was still in Yuzhou, how could the enemy come from Yanzhou to kill him.

"Quick, quick, defend, defend."

Xu Jing was not much better, and his face was pale. He drew out the sword from his waist and commanded the army around him to start defending.

The generals were like this, let alone the soldiers. Kong Niao was the governor of Yuzhou and liked to talk. Yuzhou soldiers and horses had not been trained for a long time and there were no famous generals. When encountering this situation, they could not resist at all, and the scene was in chaos.

Not to mention it was an effective defense, some soldiers had even started to run away.

"Don't run away, don't run away."

Kong Niao watched the black cavalry getting closer and closer. He could even see the opponent's appearance clearly, and his expression became even more panicked. He drew his sword and shouted loudly.

Although he likes to talk empty talk, he also knows that in this situation, the army is defeated and flees, which is actually the stupidest decision and will lead to a great rout.

Unfortunately, no matter how loud the other party yells, it has no effect.

After encountering a sudden attack by the cavalry, looking at the surging cavalry with murderous intent, these soldiers had lost their resistance and what they wanted to do most was to escape.

Xia Houlan didn't expect that the situation would go so smoothly. The Yuzhou Army's sentinels were only released for ten miles.

In front of the cavalry, what is the use of ten miles? They can kill them in an instant. If it were elite soldiers and horses, there might be a chance, but it would definitely not include the Yuzhou soldiers in front of them.

Spears were flying, and a few cold stars appeared. One after another Yuzhou soldiers died after Xia Houlan.

The world's cavalry is divided into three types: Xiliang cavalry, Bingzhou wolf cavalry and Youyan cavalry. Most of the soldiers in the Xiaoqi camp are Xiliang cavalry, who are cruel and fierce by nature.

Seeing how powerful the general Xia Houlan was, everyone fought hard to take the lead. Looking at the Yuzhou soldiers and horses in front of them, they were like a herd of sheep, not even brave enough to resist.

The soldiers suddenly let out howls, their eyes flashed with blood-red light, and they rushed towards the enemy in front of them like tigers descending from the mountain. Just like chopping melons and vegetables, he is very brave.

The Yuzhou soldiers and horses had never seen such a ferocious enemy. The sword was cut off from the war horse, and with the help of the speed and strength of the war horse, it was severely chopped on the body. Even the man and the war horse were killed by the sharp sword.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen swarmed down like a mountain torrent, marching noisily. The entire battlefield was in chaos. The Yuzhou soldiers and horses collapsed in the first round of attack.

"Lord, the enemy is too powerful and cannot be stopped. Get out of here quickly." Xu Jing looked at Xia Houlan who rushed up. There was almost no enemy under the spear, and he immediately urged loudly.

Kong Niao also saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Walk."

Kong Min turned around and left without hesitation.
