Chapter 148
At this moment, outside Sishui Pass, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was filled with unprecedented shock and anxiety. When the cold spear pierced Hua Xiong's chest, it not only ended the glory of a fierce general, but also stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the whole army like a huge rock thrown into a lake. If it weren't for the military supervisor Li Su's iron fist to stabilize the situation, I'm afraid this once invincible army would have been torn apart in astonishment and panic.
Li Su's face was as gloomy as water. He issued orders quickly and decisively, and his low voice revealed unquestionable majesty: "All troops listen to orders, immediately withdraw to Hulao Pass, regroup, and make plans later!" Under the order, although the soldiers were unwilling, they also acted quickly and evacuated the bloody battlefield in an orderly manner.
However, just as the horn of retreat was blown, a scout came rushing like an arrow in the wind, his face panicked, and he shouted: "Report! Sir, the military supervisor, emergency! The gate of Sishui Pass is wide open, and the coalition forces are pouring out like a tide, rushing straight towards our army, their momentum is fierce and unstoppable!"
Li Su's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He grabbed the scout's shoulder and asked urgently: "Who is the leader? Tell me quickly!"
"Sir, it's Liu Yao from Bingzhou, leading the way, unstoppable!" The scout's answer was like a thunderclap, causing Li Su's body to tremble involuntarily, as if he was hit by an invisible hammer.
In an instant, Li Su's face turned as pale as paper, and all his strength seemed to be drained at this moment. The whole person seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed to the ground.
He knew that Liu Yao's name was not simply bravery, but a legendary figure who could shake the situation of the war with his own strength. Now, this man personally led the army to pursue, and the 30,000 Xiliang troops were afraid that they would be wiped out today.
Boom boom boom!!!
The sound of thousands of horses galloping suddenly exploded like thunder, shaking every inch of air, like the most unruly war drum in the sky, announcing the coming of a storm.
On this battlefield dyed red by the will of war, Liu Yao, Zhang Liao and Gongsun Xu stood side by side, like a sharp arrow, cutting through the sky, accurately and coldly tearing apart the seemingly indestructible defense line of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Their figures were looming in the smoke and dust, but they all exuded a heart-pounding bravery and determination.
When it comes to fierce generals, the coalition under Liu Yao's command is undoubtedly the brightest star on this land. Guan Yu, with his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade wielding, the wind and clouds changed color, and taking the general's head from the army was as easy as taking something out of a bag; Zhang Fei, with his Zhangba Snake Spear, was invincible, and his roar was enough to shake the mountains and rivers, and terrify the enemy. There were also a large number of outstanding generals.
When Guan Yu and his group of tiger generals collectively stepped into the smoke-filled battlefield, an unstoppable storm swept in, like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, turning the enemy into dust, and staged a thrilling slaughter feast.
Following Liu Yao closely was the black armored heavy cavalry, who were like an ancient iron armored torrent, and each rider seemed to be an armored behemoth driving out of the depths of history, wearing bright armor shining with cold light, and stepping on the fast-moving sweat-blooded horses, with an unshakable attitude like a mountain, ruthlessly crushing all obstacles in front of them. Every charge of theirs was an extreme test of the enemy's will, and every confrontation was accompanied by the wailing of the enemy's defeat.
Inspired by this elite division, the morale of the Guandong coalition was like a raging fire, and was instantly ignited to the boiling point. They seemed to be endowed with extraordinary power, and every soldier's eyes flashed with desire and enthusiasm for victory. At this moment, it was the perfect time for them to make achievements and go down in history.
This is the Guandong coalition, a group of brave warriors who can ride the wind and waves and follow the trend, but once the wind direction is unfavorable, it is difficult to hide their nature of gathering for profit and leaving when the wind disperses.
This is the true nature of the Guandong coalition, superb in the favorable wind, and scattered against the wind.
…
A few days later, Luoyang, in the Xiliang Army camp.
Hua Xiong's defeat made Dong Zhuo hold a military meeting with everyone overnight. The entire Xiliang Army participated in this meeting.
Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was so solemn that it was almost possible to squeeze out water. Dong Zhuo's face was like lead, sitting on the main seat, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the darkest corners of people's hearts. Li Ru stood to one side, his eyes flickering, as if he was weighing every slight fluctuation, showing his deep wisdom. Lu Bu, the incomparable god of war, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, stood beside Dong Zhuo like an inviolable statue of the god of war, adding a bit of solemnity to the depressing atmosphere.
Guo Si, Zhang Ji and other generals, in accordance with the strict order of official rank, sat down in turn at the bottom, each with their own thoughts, but all kept silent and held their breath, waiting for the development of the situation. In the air, except for the occasional sound of armor, there was the almost solidified silence.Silence.
"Read it." Dong Zhuo finally spoke, his voice full of unquestionable majesty.
A scout, pale and with trembling lips, opened the heavy battle report, his voice with a few undisguised tremors:
"Report to the Grand Master, General Hua Xiong was unfortunately killed by General Liu Yao, and his elite troops, 30,000 Xiliang cavalry, were chased by Liu Yao himself. After a fierce battle, the 30,000 cavalry were... completely wiped out, and no one survived!"
As soon as these words came out, the big tent fell into a dead silence, and even the air seemed to freeze. Dong Zhuo's hand gently stroked the seven-star sword hanging on his waist. The gem on the hilt flashed a cold light in the weak light, reflecting his complex and difficult to discern expression.
Sishui Pass was captured overnight, Hua Xiong was also killed in the battle, and even the 30,000 Xiliang men were completely wiped out.
All of this has a lot to do with Liu Yao.
After losing two battles in a row, the Guandong coalition has approached Hulao Pass, which is the last line of defense in Luoyang. Once Luoyang is broken, it will lose its last support.
"Everyone! We Xiliang men finally found an opportunity to come to Luoyang. If we are really driven back to Xiliang by the Guandong coalition, are you willing to live the hard life before?"
At this time, Dong Zhuo's heart was getting more and more uncertain. If he simply faced the Guandong coalition, he was confident that he could win, but with the appearance of Liu Yao, he really didn't have a full grasp.
Now Dong Zhuo has suffered a series of defeats, and coupled with this period of time in Luoyang Indulging in wine and sex, he has long lost his original ambitions.
But he can't say this sentence. He is now the backbone of more than 100,000 Xiliang soldiers. If he is in chaos, these hundreds of thousands of people will really disperse, and then he will have no capital to live in peace in a corner.
So the next battle! The prestige of the Xiliang army must be played out!
