Great Han Empire

Chapter 591: Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Dangerous
Luoyang, on the banks of the chan (chan) water river, the qian (qian) pavilion.

Beishan in late autumn has been covered with a thick layer of orange-red costumes, and there is a refreshing fragrance in the forest.A group of soldiers from the Northern Frontier Army crouched in the tall yellow grass, quietly looking at Chidao down the mountain through the dense bushes.

The team led Dahei to walk slowly on the soft grass with a saber on his back and a short halberd in his hand.The mountain wind blew gently, and the fallen leaves fluttered down. A few red leaves quietly brushed Dahei's cheeks, and then whirled lazily away with the wind.

Dahei stopped, looked up at the big trees in the sky, and at the dead leaves flying everywhere, his heart trembled for no reason.Montenegro should be covered with dead leaves at this time. If the wives and children in the mountains are still alive, they should be looking for food for the winter in the mountains now.Are they still alive?Can you still live until now?Can I still see them?Are they also like themselves, often dreaming about their relatives who have not heard from them for several years?

For more than three years, I followed Master Leopard to fight north and south, and fought all the way to the desert.The war was won, and it was over. I thought I could go home, and I could go to Montenegro to find my wife and children and go home together. Who knew that without resting, I ran to Luoyang again, and followed Mr. Xu to attack the rebels and guards. Gyeonggi.I used to be the Yellow Turban Army, a rebellion of the big man, so I always thought that the rebellion was the Yellow Turban Army, but this time the rebellion was not the Yellow Turban Army, but the county soldiers from all over the country.Why, after so many years of fighting and the death of countless brothers, the big man did not stabilize, but became more and more chaotic?Why are even the adults and soldiers in various states and counties now rebellious?The Yellow Turban Army who raised troops in various places is rebellious, and the county soldiers who attacked Luoyang are also rebellious. With so many rebellious men, when will this battle end?Am I going to die on the battlefield, never to see my wife and children again?Lord Leopard once said that the world will be peaceful after conquering the desert, but now it has been a year since the desert was conquered, why is the world still not peaceful?Now even Luoyang, the capital, is at war?Master Leopard, are you lying to me too?

Dahei lowered his head, let out a long sigh, and staggered forward with his short halberd.

The soldier lying in the grass saw him and smiled.

In their eyes, Dahei is definitely a tough warrior, a titan who kills without batting an eyelid, and a hero with outstanding military exploits.Dahei used to be the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, and later he went to Xiliang with Li Hong to resist the Xianbei invasion. In the battle of Boluogu, he followed Xianyufu and Yan Liang to stop Xianbei King Helian's iron cavalry in Daqingshan.That was the first time he participated in a battle, and it was also the bloodiest and fiercest battle. Since then, he has never been afraid again. No matter how fierce the battle is, he has no fear at all. Every time he rushes forward, Risk your life.

He was illiterate, and he was able to lead the team because of his scars and military exploits.His soldiers once asked him, what is the secret of your surviving after participating in so many fierce battles?Dahei said, I want to go home.If you want to go home, you must keep this life, and if you want to live, you must not be afraid of death.Only those who are not afraid of death can go home alive.I want to go home, so I'm not afraid of death, so I live until now.

Dahei is in his 40s, with dark skin and white mane hair. He looks much older than his actual age.Dahei is a loyal person, he is very kind to his subordinates, and everyone respects him. Many army commanders and marquises greet him when they see Dahei. Apart from his silly temper, the most important thing is that he knows the General Hussars.Although the pair of combat boots that Li Hong gave him back then were worn out, he still cleaned them and kept them with great care.Many soldiers laughed at him, a pair of broken boots, why do you keep them?It wasn't until one time when the Hussar General visited the camp and went to Dahei's team in person, talked to Dahei for a long time, and then stayed in the army tent for a meal, that everyone knew that Dahei knew the Hussar General , and the relationship between the two is not ordinary.This pair of combat boots was given to him by the Hussar General.

Dahei walked behind Shichang Mute, followed his gaze and looked into the distance.

The dumb stared at him, and said angrily: "General Tiger Head led his troops to ambush the enemy on the east road, but ordered us to stay here to watch the fun. This is simply looking down on us."

Dahei smiled and listened carefully to the movement in the distance.In the gusts of mountain wind, there were faint sounds of war drums and fighting.

"What are you in a hurry for? After the enemy can't hold on and scatter in all directions, we can show our talents here."

"We are just catching prisoners, and we have a fart credit." The mute said dissatisfiedly, "Master Jun must have offended Lord Sima, otherwise why would we lie in ambush here?"

Dahei smiled and said, "You talk a lot. Were you so noisy when you were a mute when you were young?"

=

"Here we come... here we come..." Two soldiers who were hiding in the trees watching the enemy suddenly appeared, "My lord, we have seen the enemy soldiers."

Dahei squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, waved his hands and said, "Are there many people? Is it a scattered formation or a neat formation?"

"In twos and threes, more and more..."

"Look again..." Dahei said, "Tell me when you see the enemy's troops retreating."

The mute became anxious: "Old Hei, don't you arrest him now? Let them escape?"

"There are still our people behind, and they can't escape." Dahei smiled. "These are ordinary soldiers who fled the battle. We can't catch any high-ranking officials. When the enemy's troops start to flee, we will charge again. We caught them." The reward for an enemy commander or marquis is more than that for capturing a hundred soldiers. Wait a little longer."

Some impatient soldiers sat up, cursing, as if they were going to rush out immediately and desperately.

Dahei ran over in a hurry, kicked them all to the ground one by one, "Lie down for me. There are not groups of big beauties below, what are you in a hurry for?"

"My lord, if I catch a beautiful woman, will you reward me?" A strong soldier asked with a smile.

Dahei smiled, and gave him a slap on the head, "Go ahead and dream."

The soldiers of the Northern Army were yelling in fear, while running for their lives, each and every one of them was in a panic.

There were more and more fugitives on the road, and they became denser and denser, but Dahei seemed to be asleep, turning a blind eye and allowing hundreds of enemy soldiers to flee in a panic.

"My lord..." The mute lowered his voice, extremely anxious.At this time, the eyes of the hundred soldiers were not looking at the enemies on the road below, but at Dahei standing under the dense shade of trees.If you don't give the order, the enemy will run to the ground, and even the prisoners will not be caught by then.Those who ran over were all rewards.

The rush of birdsong soared to the sky from the big tree in the sky.

Dahei was shocked, and a huge sense of excitement swept over his body in an instant. He vigorously raised the short halberd in his hand.

A hundred soldiers stood up almost at the same time.Two spearmen are in the front, two sword soldiers are separated on the left and right, archers are in the middle, and twenty battle formations are lined up, ready to go.

Dahei looked calm, striding forward at the front of the line, and the soldiers followed closely behind with their weapons raised high.

A group of people rushed down the mountain silently.

=

The fugitives of the Northern Army on the galloping road suddenly discovered the ambush soldiers on the mountain. With a scream of horror, the deserters panicked and scattered.

More than 200 steps away, a neat team of about a hundred people also spotted the ambush soldiers who were rapidly descending the mountain, and their retreat speed suddenly accelerated.Dozens of cavalry rushed to the front.

Dahei and his hundred soldiers began to trot.

When we were in the Yellow Turban Army in the past, no matter whether we were ambushing or facing the enemy head-on, we all started to run wildly with weapons from far away.As a result, he was already exhausted before the match.At that time, not to mention fighting, it was difficult to stand up, so he died with one move, and he had no strength to fight back.It was during the military training in Jinyang that Dahei knew for the first time that there is such a thing as maintaining combat strength. Only then did he understand why the Yellow Turban Army could not defeat the Northern Army of the imperial court. It turns out that being an ordinary soldier is not an easy task To do things, you have to learn a lot of skills to kill and save your life.For example, everyone needs to learn all kinds of battle formations, tacit cooperation, and skillful use of battle formations to kill the enemy. Archers must learn to visually measure distances, and distinguish wind direction and wind force. Can't be a scout.

Eighty steps away from Chidao.

"Kill... ah..." Dahei raised his short halberd, turned his head and shouted wildly, his voice hoarse.

"kill……"

A hundred soldiers shouted wildly in unison, and suddenly, like wild horses running wild, they rushed down the mountain at an alarming speed.

=

Dahei picked and killed an enemy soldier who couldn't dodge, and then knocked the enemy soldier with a spear into the air.

War horses are galloping, and iron cavalry are coming at a gallop.

The big black halberd pointed at the enemy's cavalry and roared loudly: "Array...Arrange the horses to meet the enemy..."

Facing the galloping iron cavalry, hundreds of soldiers showed no fear. They all killed like thunder and ran like flying. They built ten small horse-repelling formations in a short period of time at an unimaginable speed.Two formations and one row, five rows and ten formations criss-crossing immediately blocked any gaps in the road.

"Block the road, block the road for me..." Dahei ran in the formation, waving his short halberd and shouted excitedly, "Brothers, it's time for meat today, it's time for meat, kill... kill me ..."

The sound was like rushing thunder, and the force was like thunder. When the iron cavalry arrived, the sturdy war horse soared into the air, aiming at these seemingly vulnerable battle formations and slammed into them fiercely.

"Kill...kill..." The morale of the generals in Beijiang was like a rainbow, and they went forward indomitably.

"Puchi...Puchi..." The spears were mercilessly inserted into the bellies of the war horses. The horses neighed miserably and fell down one after another. Before the knights stood up, they were chopped off by more weapons. Killed bloody.Then more horses rushed up, and more knights and their horses smashed into the formation with a thousand equal force like flying through the clouds.The soldiers in northern Xinjiang were like water droplets splashed in a pond, shooting up one by one, stumps, broken limbs and screams flew all over the sky in an instant, and bright red blood ran across the sky, bloody and tragic.

Dahei couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked into the air by a tyrannical war horse. Before his body lost his balance, he exhausted all his strength and inserted a halberd into the enemy's throat. With a heart-piercing howl, The short halberd pierced through the enemy's neck, and forced the head off the enemy's body.

Even if you have the thickest armor in the world, I will cut off your head.

"Ah... ah..." Dahei roared like crazy, venting the ecstasy in his heart to his heart's content, and then fell headfirst onto the grass beside the Chi road, opening his mouth to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

=

"grown ups……"

The enemy cavalry was stunned, and the shouts of fear and horror rang out, and the remaining iron knights were completely desperate, roaring like a hurricane, swarming up.

The mute rolled and crawled, and rushed to the corpse on the ground, his excited roar was as creepy as a wild wolf in the night, "Chop off his head, cut off his head..."

The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang have long been red-eyed. They are like bloodthirsty beasts. They are desperate like people in a crowd. All kinds of weapons are pouring down, "Kill...kill..."

In order to grab a head, the two sides lost their minds for a moment. No one cared about their own lives anymore. There was only one thought in their minds, grab the head stuck to the neck, grab it...

=

Dahei turned over with difficulty, and opened his mouth to spit out another mouthful of blood. He cursed viciously, and then staggered to stand up.

An enemy soldier roared angrily, and charged up with his sword held high, "I will kill you and skin you..."

Dahei was terrified, using both hands and feet, desperately fled to Chidao.He saw a dead subordinate, it was an archer, whose head was cut off by the enemy, and the head was hanging around his neck, with brown blood spurting out like a spring.Dahei jumped forward.The pursuers behind arrived and chopped it off with a knife, "Dang..." There was a loud noise, Dahei screamed loudly, and the blood from his mouth suddenly spurted out from the arrow.The saber on Dahei's back blocked the enemy's sure-kill blow.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you..." Dahei roared angrily, while he hurriedly pulled out the crossbow from the back of the archer, turned over and pulled the trigger, "I'll kill you!"

The pursuer was about to chop him off with a single blow, but Dahei conjured a crossbow out of thin air, and three sharp crossbow arrows pierced through his body in an instant, and the strong impact immediately sent the pursuer flying upside down.

"Kill, kill, I told you to kill..." Dahei wiped the blood from his mouth, got up, and aimed a knife at the enemy's head, "I told you to kill..."

Dahei held the bloody head in one hand and a battle knife in the other, barely supported his body, raised his neck, tried his best, and howled like a beast, "Help...help..."

"call out……"

A Ming Di screamed sharply and shot into the air.

===

The setting sun is like blood, and the long knife is like a rainbow, with bright red blood dripping down the blade.

Yan Liang Zhuma stood on the battlefield where corpses were strewn all over the field, looking around coldly.

The scouts rushed over, "My lord, Liu Jing fell down in the Qian (qian) pavilion, and the whole army was wiped out."

Yan Liang asked in a cold voice, "Where's Captain Liu Jing of Changshui?"

"It was killed by us, and it was led by the team on the upper left to kill."

"This old guy..." Yan Liang rarely showed a smile on his face, "Is he still alive?"

"Slightly hurt."

Yan Liang nodded, then looked at Zhu Jun beside him, and asked, "My lord, look..."

"Dong Zhuo believed Wu Qiuyi's lies, thinking that Li Ru died when you attacked the camp in the middle of the night, so he was furious and careless, and sent Liu Jing to help first, but we took advantage of it." Zhu Jun said wearily. , "It's only forty miles away from Mengjin, and there are so many deserters, Dong Zhuo will definitely get the news. I think it's better to forget about the night attack on Mengjin."

Yan Liang asked in a deep voice: "What about Meng Jin and Xiao Pingjin? My subordinates can't be rescued?"

"Once Dong Zhuo wakes up, he must concentrate all his forces to snatch Bi Guiyuan. Once Bi Guiyuan is lost, Dong Zhuo's army will lose food and grass. This is a disaster for him. If he wants to persist in Luoyang, he must defeat us. , and then take back the food and grass, or drive us to Luoyang, and go south to plunder again." Zhu Jun said, "So, starting tomorrow, Dong Zhuo will launch a crazy attack on us, so we must retreat to the south bank of the Yishui River tonight, to take Yishui Relying on water, stop Dong Zhuo, so as to give Wu Qiuyi and Tian Chou enough time to transport all the grain, grass and luggage hoarded in Bi Guiyuan to Xingyang."

Yan Liang frowned, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, are we going to give up Luoyang City?"

"Give up." Zhu Jun said resolutely, "I can't let Luoyang be destroyed by me, let alone let Luoyang be destroyed by Dong Zhuo, so I have to give up."

"What about my subordinates?"

"The general can send people to secretly lurk near Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. After Dong Zhuo leads the army to retreat, immediately contact Wu Xiong and Xiang Cheng, and ask the two adults to take the Northern Xinjiang army with us while Dong Zhuo is fighting with us in Yishui. Withdraw to Hulao Pass in the direction of Beiman Mountain." Zhu Jun said, "Give Meng Jin and Xiao Ping Jin to Yuan Shao, if he doesn't send people to guard, he will not live this winter."

Yan Liang hesitated.Is it to give up Mengjin and Xiaopingjin?Or should Wu Xiong and Xiang Cheng be rescued first?
"Okay, listen to the arrangement of the adults."

Yan Liang waved to the messenger and said, "Order all the ministries to kill the prisoners immediately, leaving no one behind."

"Order Tian Chou to immediately mobilize troops to destroy all the bridges on the Yishui River, leaving no one behind."

=

Dong Zhuo was immersed in the grief of losing Li Ru, and sat in the big tent all day, not seeing anyone.

He and Li Ru have been teachers and friends for decades, and they have a very deep relationship and trust each other.Li Ru's sudden death hit him too hard.

Tian Yi walked in quietly, and gently told a worse news.

Liu Jing died, and the whole army was wiped out.Liu Jing has followed Dong Zhuo for more than 20 years and is loyal to Dong Zhuo. He is one of Dong Zhuo's most trusted brothers and subordinates.

Dong Zhuoru was hit hard, and couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Urgently write to Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Lu Bu, and Hu Zhen, and quickly return the army to Luoyang to punish the rebels."
