Chapter 27: Charge the coalition camp with the whole army! Take the head of Yuan Benchu!
Zhao Yun and Lu Bu sparred for a few more days.
Both of them had improved their martial arts to a certain extent.
However.
Lu Bu’s improvement was mostly in defense.
Facing a technique-based general like Zhao Yun, Lu Bu learned more ways to respond.
And Zhao Yun’s improvement was all-around.
The pressure Lu Bu brought him forced his martial arts to progress rapidly in a short time.
In just a few days, Zhao Yun’s martial arts had vaguely reached a small step higher.
And unknowingly.
The date of the decisive battle agreed upon by Gu Yi and Xu You had quietly arrived.
……
In the coalition camp not far away, the offensive had indeed stopped today.
Tens of thousands of Dong Zhuo’s troops were about to pour out of Hulao Pass to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly.
The sound of horns rang out.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, like a sharp blade, stabbed fiercely into the coalition camp!
Those small warlords who had already suffered heavy losses were instantly struck as if by lightning.
But a bizarre scene appeared!
Just when small warlords like Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang, and Kong Rong thought they were doomed.
Dong Zhuo’s army suddenly changed direction and bypassed them. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
Dust flew by.
These small warlords were already scared out of their wits.
Although they could not understand why Dong Zhuo’s army chose to ignore them.
But at this moment, there was no doubt that fleeing was the best option.
So, who was the target of Dong Zhuo’s army?
Of course, it was the two main forces of the coalition, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!
Because Yuan Shu was seriously injured at Sishui Pass, he had been staying in the coalition camp outside Sishui Pass to recuperate.
Therefore, the army outside Hulao Pass was left to be commanded by his younger brother Yuan Yin and his son Yuan Yao.
At this moment, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao looked at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that had surrounded them.
They almost could not help but be scared to the point of incontinence!
"Why... why is that scoundrel Sun Jian attacking us together with Dong Zhuo’s army?"
What made Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao feel even more devastated was!
The Sun Jian army, which was originally one of the main forces of the coalition, was not resisting Dong Zhuo’s army at this moment.
Instead, they were launching a fierce attack on Yuan Shu’s army together with Dong Zhuo’s army!
"Are you two the younger brother and son of Yuan Gonglu?"
Suddenly, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao felt a scorching gaze looking at them.
Turning their heads, they saw a young general in silver-white armor scanning them with the gaze of someone looking at prey.
This person was Zhang He!
Originally a military commander under Han Fu.
But after being captured at Hulao Pass, he had undergone a transformation, abandoned darkness for light, joined Dong Zhuo’s army, and became Gu Yi’s little fanboy.
Although Zhang He’s martial arts could not compare to Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, he was also at a first-rate level.
At this moment, there were few soldiers left beside Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao.
They suffered fierce attacks from Dong Zhuo’s army and Sun Jian’s army, and could be said to be dead or injured.
How could they have the ability to stop Zhang He?
With a "bang"!
Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao were knocked unconscious by Zhang He, one in each hand, and tucked under his horse.
The remaining soldiers of Yuan Shu’s army were also quickly wiped out by Dong Zhuo’s army.
And in Yuan Shao’s camp not far away.
They also realized something was wrong at this moment.
The target of Dong Zhuo’s army did not seem to be those weak Guandong warlords at all, but the two Yuans!
"Damn Gu Yi! You screwed me!"
Beside Yuan Shao, Xu You cursed angrily.
Feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of old blood.
"My lord, the best plan now is to retreat immediately."
"The coalition has completely scattered. If you want to save your life, you must leave Hulao Pass immediately and retreat toward Jizhou."
There were several other strategists standing beside Yuan Shao.
The one who spoke was Tian Feng.
Only, at this moment, Tian Feng’s face was as black as charcoal, and his expression was as gloomy as if it could drip water.
Tian Feng was completely kept in the dark about the conspiracy between Xu You and Yuan Shao, knowing nothing about it.
And now, it was obvious that the conspiracy of these two had failed, leaving a mess that could not be cleaned up.
The situation was extremely critical.
Tian Feng could not bother to complain about Yuan Shao.
He only hoped that Yuan Shao would quickly order a retreat and escape back to Jizhou to plan for the future.
"How hateful!"
"This Gu Yi is so cunning!"
"If not for him, how could my Guandong Coalition have suffered such a miserable defeat!"
The grief and indignation in Yuan Shao’s heart were no less than Xu You’s.
After this battle, his prestige as the coalition leader would certainly drop significantly.
The struggle with Gongsun Zan and Han Fu would likely become much more difficult.
But right now.
Yuan Shao had no other choice but to hurry up and run.
However.
Just at this moment.
Yuan Shao suddenly heard a roar from not far away!
"Lu Bu of Jiuyuan (Baotou) is here!"
"Thief, die now!"
Yes, the first person to break into Yuan Shao’s camp was Lu Bu, riding the Red Hare and holding the Painted Halberd!
Last time outside Hulao Pass, he was chased by more than ten coalition generals, and Lu Bu’s resentment toward them was deep in his bones!
Seeing Lu Bu killing his way over here.
Yuan Shao was so scared that his soul almost flew away on the spot!
Seeing this, the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou quickly held their weapons and greeted him.
After all.
In terms of people under Yuan Shao’s command who were barely qualified to fight Lu Bu at this moment.
There were only Yan Liang and Wen Chou left.
