Chapter 138 (1/2)
Dong Zhuo gulps his saliva, his facial features are almost twisted together, and he looks at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
”It hurts me too!”
Dong Zhuo tightly covered his heart and gasped. His eyes almost protruded. Two thousand Liangzhou iron cavalry and five thousand yellow turban warriors collided fiercely, but two thousand cavalry were knocked upside down.
Fortunately, Li Zhen saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly led his team to turn around and get Guo Si out of the yellow scarf strongmen camp. Dong Zhuo was relieved at last.
If the general is damaged, the battle will be even more difficult to fight.
Due to the sudden change of the situation, the Xiliang iron cavalry lost more than 700 horses, while the Huangjin Lishi lost more than 2000 people. Most of the fallen Xiliang steeds were added with knives and axes, and their heads were different.
Seeing the Xiliang iron horse take the initiative to retreat, the leader of the Yellow turban warrior laughed: ”the officers and soldiers are afraid, kill!”
Even if nearly two thousand people were killed and injured, the remaining three thousand yellow turban warriors were still unstoppable, and they killed them all at once. After winning the first battle, the morale of the Yellow scarves rose greatly, while the morale of the officers and soldiers was one of the setbacks.
”Well, the Yellow turban thief is no more than a crowd of black harmonies, not to be afraid of.”
The central army of Dong Zhuo waved the flag, Zhang Ji and fan Hou drew out their swords and ordered them to march forward. The swordsmen and shields in the front row listed a whole shield wall. After all, it was the northern army led by Lu Zhi, and the quality of the soldiers was very excellent.
However, the soft ones were afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones were afraid of the horizontal ones, and the three thousand yellow turban warriors rushed up fiercely, and the axes and hammers in their hands fell heavily on the shields of the officers and soldiers, and they even tore a hole in the army.
Zhang Jiao motioned to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was overjoyed and yelled: ”listen, everyone. The yellow scarf warrior called by the great virtuous division is attached. The whole army is pressing on.”
Zhang Liang ordered that the 50000 yellow turban thieves began to move, and a full 50000 troopers were finally crushed. 8000 soldiers were very sharp, but the 3000 yellow turban warriors were just as crazy as they were. They tore a hole in the front of the army, so the 50000 yellow turban thieves who followed immediately killed them.
Fifty thousand yellow turban thieves surrounded 8000 northern troops and divided them into several groups to kill them.
At this time, the gate of Quyang city opened, and another young man with a big flag in his hand came out of the gate. Zhang Bao was astonished to see his elder brother come to save him. So he mobilized the soldiers in the city to cooperate with each other.
”My Lord, what should I do?”
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ji couldn't help asking Dong Zhuo.
”Go
Dong Zhuo said fiercely: ”the Yellow turban thieves have more than 100000 troops here, but the general has only two thousand cavalry. How can they be the opponents of the Yellow turban thieves?”
Zhang Ji was stunned when he heard the speech: ”however, if the war is defeated, I'm afraid the court must punish him.”
Dong Zhuo snorted: ”it's better for the court to surrender crime than to lose your head. Withdraw quickly!”
Dong Zhuo was quick to withdraw his troops. More than 1300 iron cavalry of Xiliang followed him, while the four generals of Li Li, Guo Si, fan Hou and Zhang Ji followed closely. Before the army of the three brothers of Zhang Jiao was completely encircled, he broke out of the encirclement of the Yellow turban thieves with the mobility of the cavalry.
