Chapter one hundred and forty-eighth

Wen Chou asked Sun Jian: "What do Wentai thinks?"

Sun Jian patted his thigh and said, "If it weren't for Yuan Hao, it would be almost impossible to make a big mistake!"

Wen Chou and Sun Jian agreed and agreed with Tian Feng's analysis. Because they no longer ordered the three armies to rest, they rushed to order the orders and ordered the troops to wait for dinner, and after a little rest, they continued to march at night. It is necessary to arrive outside Luoyang early tomorrow morning.

The speed of the marching at night is definitely not as fast as during the day, especially when Wen and Sun's troops reached tens of thousands of troops, Wen Chou and Sun Jian each left a soldier to watch over the baggage and slowly traveled behind, and led the main force to take a short rest and go on a night.

When it was almost dawn, after walking the remaining thirty miles, Luoyang was in sight.

At this time, generals such as Wu Jing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others in Sun Jian's army, and generals such as Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wenba from the Wen Chou department all came to find Sun Jian and Wen Chou, and asked the troops to have a little rest.

This is a very normal request.

Luoyang is right ahead and may soon be fighting with the enemy. The troops marched for a day and a night. Before the battle, they let the troops rest and maintain their energy and physical strength. It is normal.

Wen Chou disagreed, and he said, "The reason why I galloped with Sun Hou at night was to attack Dong's army, one was to attack Dong's army, and the other was to cover up his unpreparedness. Now that he has arrived in Luoyang, how can I stop?" He said to Sun Jian, "According to the scouts, Dong Zhuo divided the generals to live in various tombs and forests, and he was in charge of the elite troops. 'Shooters first shoot the horses, and capture the thieves first capture the king'. You and I can select three thousand elite soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo's residence. The remaining troops will fight against Dong Zhuo's generals. If they rush to support Dong Zhuo, they will attack him. If they do not rush to support, they will wait for Dong Zhuo to defeat him and then attack him together!"

Sun Jian agreed and said, "It's like you say and act!"

At this moment, the two of them each selected three thousand elite soldiers, with more than one general, and the fierce generals were the ones who ruled them.

Sun Jian used Cheng Pu as the general and Han Dangsui.

Wen Chou used Yan Liang as the general and Zhao Yun as the auxiliary.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Yan Liang and Zhao Yun each commanded the elite soldiers. They went out of the army first, and before dawn, they rushed to the place where Dong Zhuo was led by the scout.

Seeing these six thousand tiger soldiers galloping towards Dong Zhuo like a tiger going down the mountain. Tian Chou said: "Dong's soldiers are the leader of cavalry, but now they have abandoned their leader and entered the garden forest. Among the tombs of the previous emperors... Ming Gong and Sun Hou are the easy to defeat."

Although there are water, forests and mountains in the Yuanlin and the imperial tombs, it can be relied on, but at the same time, it is precisely because there is water, forests and mountains that are not conducive to Dong Bing's advantage in the cavalry. Tian Chou said that they are just short of their strengths, and this is true.

But they said: Don’t Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo know this?

Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo also knew that Jia Xu gave Dong Zhuo this strategy, and Dong Zhuo accepted it because they had no choice but to do so. Jia Xu said that because of Dong Zhuo's urgent wisdom, Dong Bing's morale was avoided, which was actually a lie. Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo knew it well. Since the emperor moved west and Luoyang was destroyed, Dong Bing's morale has been slowly declining. It has been very low until now. Taigu Pass was once defeated by Wen Chou and Sun Jian, Hu Zhen was awarded the title of head, and Xu Rong rebelled. It can be said that Dong Bing's morale was already very depressed, but after encountering this incident, it became even more depressed. How could he fight Wen Chou and Sun Jian in field? Only by moving into Yuanlin and tombs, he could rely on "risk" to fight Wen and Sun.

Wen Chou and Sun Jian sent elite troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and after they attacked Dong Zhuo, the two of them dispatched their troops respectively. They ordered each to go outside the garrison of the generals under Dong Zhuo's command to set up a formation.

Sun Jian also took Sun Ben and Zu Mao as the general and ordered the cavalry to roam among the various departments as a support.

Wen Chou also regarded Wen Ba and Liu Qing as the general, and ordered him to lead cavalry to travel among the various divisions of his army, which was a response.

Wen Chou and Sun Jian completed the dispatch of the place. It was already dawn and each unit rushed to the predetermined positions.

Wen Chou, Sun Jian led the central army and marched forward for several miles, stopping less than five miles away from Dong Zhuo's troops.

At this time, Cheng Pu and Yan Liang had already arrived at Dong Zhuo's garrison, and the two sides had already started a war.

Wen Chou, Sun Jian climbed to a high place and watched the battle from afar.

In the morning sunshine, I saw the lush forests of Dong Zhuo’s garrison, rivers and streams were like belts, and hills were undulating. Then I saw the dust in this forest, water and mountains, flags appeared and drums, and shouts of killing were heard in the wind.

Sun Jian listened carefully to the drum sound and said to Wen Chou: "This is the drum that attacks!"

Wen Chou smiled and said, "I don't know if it was the sound of the attack on the Qing army or the sound of the attack on the drums of my army?"

Sun Jian laughed and said, "Anyway, it won't be Dong Zhuo's advancing drum sound."

Wen Chou and Sun Jian watched the war from afar while communicating the army to prepare for assistance to Cheng Pu and Yan Liang. After all, Dong Zhuo's army was famous for its Bingzhou army, and the one who could be led by Dong Zhuo must be the elite of his army. Therefore, Cheng Pu and Yan Liang had been marching for a day and a night, could the six thousand elite soldiers who had been fighting for a day and a night to defeat Dong Zhuo? Wen Chou and Sun Jian were not sure at this time.

At the same time, Wen Chou and Sun Jian also closely monitored the situation of the other positions.

The horses were explored and scouts came to report the situation of the battle ahead and the situation in various places.

According to the war report, Cheng Pu and Yan Liang's offensive progress was very smooth. Although Dong Bing resisted stubbornly, he retreated step by step.

The situation in other positions also looked very good. Except for a few places where Dong Bing tried to come out to aid Dong Zhuo, the other Dong Bings in various places did not dare to come out. The Dong Bings who tried to come out to aid Dong Zhuo were all repelled by Wen and Sun's troops.

Although I was sure that I could win this battle, but the battle was really going well, which was beyond Wen Chou and Sun Jian's expectations.

Both of them were in a good mood.

Wen Chou smiled at Tianfeng and Tianchou and said, "Yuan Hao, Zitai, everything is as expected by you and the other two! Dong Bing's morale is indeed low and cannot stand the battle."

Wen Chou and Sun Jian climbed up to watch the battle.

Although Dong Bing's morale was low, all the elites were brought by Dong Zhuo, and he was in charge. At noon, Yan Liang and Cheng Pu were on the verge of attack and advanced step by step, but they still failed to break through Dong's formation.

Wen Chou said to Sun Jian: "If Dong Zhuo can be captured and killed, it will be west of Luoyang and to Chang'an without a fight!"

The emperor was sent to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo. Dong soldiers were stationed around Chang'an and at the key points on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo could be captured or killed alive in this battle today, then not only the Dong soldiers who were left by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang and nearby passes, including Chang'an and Dong soldiers along the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, would be easily pacified.

Seeing the great achievements in front of him, Sun Jian was thrilled and said loudly: "Zixiao, I want to lead my troops to fight with you!"

"You can go and attack Dong Zhuo in person. I should lead the troops around Dong Bing to intercept him and retreat."

Wen Chou and Sun Jian immediately went to the army, and each of them was in charge. Sun Jian personally led his troops to support Yan Liang and Cheng Pu, while Wen Chou took his troops around the gardens and tombs located around Dong Zhuo's position to intercept Dong Zhuo's retreat.
