() The Kwantung Allied Forces sent troops to attack Hulao this time. The deployment of military power was obviously different from the previous time. This was an improvement based on the lessons learned from the previous attack on Yangcheng. In the previous attack on Yangcheng, these ten

On the surface, the multi-pronged coalition forces are a whole group of troops, but in fact they are working in their own way. Therefore, just a small Yangcheng has blocked their footsteps for several months. Some of the troops have even lost more than half of their troops, and their combat effectiveness has been significantly reduced.

.

The reason lies in the fact that the leaders of several groups of troops have their own selfish motives. On the one hand, they want to preserve their own strength, but on the other hand, they hope that other troops will fight the enemy desperately. With the same intention, the battle will naturally not go smoothly.

But this time, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, Yuan Shao and the others made some changes in the deployment of troops. The men and horses were no longer clearly separated, but mixed together. Although the movements of the men and horses in each battalion still followed

The commander-in-chief of the headquarters dispatched troops, but once they entered the battlefield, it was impossible to protect themselves in such a chaotic situation.

This countermeasure is even more obvious when it comes to the forward army. This forward force of tens of thousands of people includes troops from three princes - Kong Rong's tribe, Liu Dai's tribe and Zhang Miao's tribe. The three groups of troops were drawn from each of them.

Thousands of elites formed this vanguard team that opened roads through mountains, built bridges across rivers, and annihilated enemies at sight. However, their leader was still in the middle army at this time, so there was no need to worry about them encountering setbacks in the front.

It’s just a question of not moving forward.

Since this vanguard army is made up of three groups of troops, there are also three generals who can give orders. They are Xu Jie of Kong Rong's army, Gan Lin of Liu Dai's army and Huang Chao of Zhang Miao's army. Now as the troops enter,

When they arrived near Hulao Pass, seeing the terrain becoming increasingly dangerous, the three of them got together to discuss.

However, there were differences during this discussion. Xu Jie believed that in such a rugged and dangerous place, safety should be the priority and no rash advances could be made. However, Huang Chao said that the morale of their army was at its peak this time. How could a mere mountain road stop them?

We should move forward as soon as possible to open the way for the army behind. As for Gan Lin, he had no opinion of his own and thought that both were acceptable. So the first two argued in the tent for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an accurate idea.

In the end, we had to temporarily stop the troops and send people to ask the Chinese army for instructions, so that the generals above could make a decision for themselves and others.

This is the disadvantage of Yuan Shao's use of troops. Several groups of people are mixed together. When differences arise, it is difficult to come to a unified opinion. In the end, the decision can only be made by everyone in the Chinese army after deliberation.

This will inevitably delay the fighter opportunity and thus affect the success or failure of the entire battle.

Of course, things also have two sides. What Xu Jie and his team did in front of them did them a big favor, because they didn't know that there were already 20,000 Xiliang troops ambushing them on the mountain gorge road not far from their garrison.

There, waiting to give them a head-on blow once they entered the ambush circle. Now that they could not reach a consensus, they temporarily stopped moving forward, just in time to avoid stepping into the trap.

However, good luck could only last for a while, because they did not know that at the same time as they stopped advancing, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, had just received the news that his uncle and the entire Luoyang clan had been killed. At this time, Yuan Shao had already

He was completely determined to fight Dong Zhuo of Xiliang.

Therefore, when their request for instructions reached the Chinese army, Yuan Shao insisted on advancing at full speed, making sure to capture the troops in a short time and then use a great victory to commemorate their dead relatives.

"The vanguard goes ahead of the army in the hope of defeating the enemy. You, as the vanguard, do not think about how to defeat the enemy first, but you use fear as an excuse to hold back. It is really unreasonable. Now the Chinese Army has sent an order, the vanguard army

Advance at full speed, and eradicate all enemy forces that block them. Do not delay or hesitate. Otherwise, we will all be punished as collaborating with the enemy!"

A very stern military order from Yuan Shao was brought back. After seeing this military order, Huang Chao was overjoyed: "I told you earlier, as pioneers, we should not stop because of some doubts."

Come down, and now you are reprimanded by the Chinese army, Xu Jie, you must bear full responsibility!"

Xu Jie had no choice but to smile bitterly. He had said and done everything he should say and do. Now that the Chinese Army has issued this order, all he has to do is obey the order. He only hopes that everything he worries about is unfounded, otherwise...

Early the next morning, the vanguard army set off again and strode into the ambush set by Hua Xiong.

??????????

Just when the group of people suddenly stopped dozens of miles away, Hua Xiong, who was ambushing on both sides of the corridor, learned the news. This made him really embarrassed. He didn't know if the other party saw something wrong.

It would suddenly stop. He even thought about killing it and confronting this group of people. Because he had already found out clearly that this group of people was the vanguard of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Their strength was only ten thousand, so he might as well bring it himself.

With a large number of men and horses, he was very sure of victory in one battle.

But soon, Hua Xiong gave up this idea. Because this idea came from Ma Yue. Before Hua Xiong sent troops, Ma Yue came to see him and said to him: "General Hua, do you want to immediately

Do you want to make a big contribution?"

"Of course! I lost Yangcheng before, so I naturally need a big achievement to make up for it."

"Then please do as I say and don't rush to fight. As long as we set up an ambush, once the enemy breaks in, we will definitely win a big victory. And if my prediction is true, the enemy will

There are definitely not many people in the first group of troops. If you can annihilate them all and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, you may be able to lure another group of people into the trap. Therefore, if a general wants to make great achievements to offset his previous mistakes, he must be calm.

Stay angry!"

Hua Xiong kept Ma Yue's words in mind, so when several generals around him said they wanted to take the initiative, he rejected them all: "No, wait! If they really find out

Our ambush will definitely lead to action. When the time comes, it won’t be too late for us to kill them. For now, it’s better to be safe.”

In this way, Hua Xiong led his army to continue waiting on the tunnel, waiting for two days. Finally, Huang Tian paid off his hard work. Two days later, when it was almost noon, the scouts who were sent in front to monitor the enemy's movements hurriedly arrived.

I rushed back and reported that the enemy was marching here again, and this time the march was a bit faster.

"Okay! It seems that this is also a gesture they made deliberately out of caution. Once they enter the ambush circle later, no one is allowed to attack without my order. This general, I will annihilate them all this time!" Hua Xiong's eyes flickered.

With a fierce light.

"Here!" The generals under his command who were responsible for ambushes on all sides agreed in a low voice, as if they were worried that the enemy more than ten miles away would hear their voices.

After noon, I finally saw a high-flying flag at the end of the mountain road that I could see. When I saw the flag, everyone's spirits suddenly lifted, and many archers had already drawn their arrows.

, resting on the string. But the soldiers who were about to rush down the mountain road to fight the enemy put down all their weapons to prevent the reflection of the weapons from attracting the enemy's attention.

Time passed little by little in this somewhat boring and tense situation, and the enemy gradually approached. The first few sentinel cavalry had already stepped into the ambush circle.

However, Hua Xiong did not give the order to attack. He remembered very clearly that Ma Yue said that if he wanted to achieve great success, he must completely trap all the people in the ambush circle and not let anyone escape. Therefore, this battle must be calm.

Qi, find the most suitable moment and then give the enemy a head-on blow.

After seeing that the dozens of people who were trying the test had safely passed the steep and difficult tunnel in front of them, Xu Jie, who was still cautious, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Gan Lin beside him: "It seems that I am indeed a little too careful.

, the Xiliang Army probably didn’t set any trap here.”

"Hmph, I told you earlier that now the Xiliang Army has been frightened by us. How could they set up an ambush far away from Hulao Pass? What's more, the terrain here is not conducive to cavalry operations at all. You must know that the Xiliang Army is lame.

It is their cavalry that kills the enemy, how can they abandon it?

The long is the short, why are we fighting here?" Huang Chao said disapprovingly, and then ordered the army to speed up and pass through this stone gap. As long as they passed this point, they would advance dozens of miles to the front of Hulao Pass.

, you can start a new round of battle with the enemy.

Following this order, the vanguard team advanced a little faster than before, and the neat defensive formation became scattered. The sound of the advancing men and horses echoed in the corridor, and just before

There was some confusion when suddenly there was a banging sound on the alley.

Just when the sergeants were looking up the mountain in confusion, they heard a strange "wu" sound, and a black shadow that covered the sky flew out from the mountain road. When they looked carefully, they could see clearly.

Those flying towards me were actually sharp arrows!

And with the sound of bangs, countless Xiliang warriors armed with swords and guns also emerged from the mountain, and then rushed down with shouts of death. In the blink of an eye, they had broken through and were completely beaten by random arrows.

The collapsed Kwantung Allied Forces defense line started a fight with the main force in the middle!

The battle showed a one-sided trend soon after it started. After a sudden attack, the vanguard team collapsed instantly. Because this came so suddenly, their resistance was knocked out, especially

The sharp arrows shot from above killed two generals, Huang Chao and Gan Lin, in one fell swoop. Xu Jie was also injured and fell off his horse. The entire team lost its leader.

When the sky darkened, the ambush battle ended. Hua Xiong annihilated all the enemy troops of 10,000 men with less than a thousand casualties. Even if there were some who escaped, they were only a few. This battle
Chapter completed!
