On the southern battlefield of the alliance army. Sun Jian, who had retreated back to Liang County, gathered up the remaining troops and sent out an urgent order to mobilize the Huang and Han troops. While waiting for his trusted generals, Huang Gai and Han Dang, Sun Jian quickly walked out of the shadow of failure and began to reorganize and train his infantry. After the two Yang people fought, less than 3000 of Sun Jian's 20,000 infantry could return to Liang County. Among them, almost all of his original troops were killed or injured. The most elite personal cavalry guards died on the battlefield while covering his retreat. The old brothers who had fought together in many bloody battles were gone just like that. This made Zu Rong, who was now alone, want to cry but have no tears. Although Sun Jian's face had returned to normal, his heart was also very clear. However, Sun Jian had a strong personality and buried his heartache deep in his heart. He put his endless energy into the training of thousands of surviving soldiers. After such a bloody battle, these soldiers were able to fight against Dong Zhuo and become elite soldiers. The elites of the Imperial Army and cavalry were indeed extraordinary in their own ways. With Sun Jian's outstanding leadership skills and his family's unique training skills, they managed to turn a group of remnant soldiers into elite soldiers in three to five days. Sun Jian treated them as his trusted subordinates and re-established the personal guard camp.
Huang and Han quickly came after receiving the report. However, on the way to Liang County, he met Sun Jian who was defeated again. It turned out that Sun Jian had encountered Dong Zhuo's number one valiant general, Hua Xiong's, fierce attack. Sun Jian had fewer soldiers and Liang County was small. In addition, he had not recovered from the hand injury caused by the fierce battle with Lu Bu. He was no match for Hua Xiong and thus broke out of the encirclement. However, Hua Xiong, who knew Dong Zhuo's thoughts, would not easily let go of the person Dong Zhuo feared the most and give up on the amazing achievements he had obtained.(Only Sun Jian is a little stupid and can use people. He should tell the generals to be wary of him.)”），He led a group of cavalry to pursue Sun Jian, who was wearing an eye-catching red turban. Sun Jian's personal guard general Zu Mao saw that the situation was not right, so he asked Sun Jian to take off his turban and let him put it on to lure away Hua Xiong's pursuers. Only then could Sun Jian hide among his personal guards and escape. Zu Mao, who was pretending to be Sun Jian, was chased into the forest by Hua Xiong and was burned to death by a fire.
Sun Jian, who had suffered consecutive defeats, was getting stronger and stronger. After taking care of the 2000 men who had retreated from Liang County (due to Hwa Xiong focusing on chasing Sun Jian, Sun Jian's losses were relatively small) and the new troops brought by the Huang and Han Divisions, he had gathered another 20,000 men. After resting for a night, Sun Jian, who had found out about Hua Xiong's strength, led the army to fight against Hua Xiong in Liang Dong!
The successive defeats did not make Sun Jian lose his cool and wit. He took advantage of the fact that Hua Xiong did not understand his new army, and ordered Huang and Han to lead their troops around Hua Xiong's two wings. He then took the 2000 soldiers he had gathered and slowly approached Hua Xiong, giving Hua Xiong's scouts enough time to find out the movements of his troops.
Although Hua Xiong was brave and intelligent among Dong Zhuo's army, he didn't expect Sun Jian to gather a large number of new elites and secretly attack him. Hearing that Sun Jian had brought over 2000 soldiers to take revenge, Hwa Xiong was overjoyed. Before Sun Jian could arrive, he had already brought over 3,000 soldiers.
Sun Jian's heart was like a rock. His heart was no longer affected by his past achievements. The successive bloody battles and defeats had washed away Sun Jian's past pride, but it had also sharpened Sun Jian's fighting spirit. From then on, Sun Jian had entered a whole new realm, a new realm where he could disregard himself from the battlefield and treat the battlefield as a chess game. He was no longer in the state of forgetting himself and killing crazily after entering the battlefield. In Sun Jian's mind, Hua Xiong's army was nothing more than a chess piece. The cries of battle gradually faded away in Sun Jian's ears. This was a realm that Sun Jian had never experienced before. " Get into formation and set up defenses." Sun Jian ignored Hwa Xiong's clamor and desperate urging. He ordered the army to form a defensive formation. Hua Xiong did not bring the terrifying cavalry of Western Liang with him. Only a few dozen of Hua Xiong's personal cavalry could not pose much of a threat to Sun Jian. As long as they could hold on for two hours, Sun Jian thought to himself. Without Hua Xiong personally commanding the middle and rear troops, failure was almost certain when faced with the surprise attack of Huang Gai and Han Dang. As for Sun Jian himself, with his 2000-odd soldiers, he should be able to hold out for two hours against Hwa Xiong's 3000-odd elite soldiers.
Huang Gai and Han Dang had already learned about Sun Jian's recent battles. Although Sun Jian's expression was still as full of fighting spirit as ever, he should have shown some reaction to the series of blows and the uncertainty of the fate of Zu Rong. Therefore, the unchanging Sun Jian made Huang and Han even more worried.
Although Sun Jian's plan to target Hua Xiong was correct in their eyes, they were still afraid that the enraged Sun Jian would fight Hua Xiong head on, instead of waiting for them to break through his army before attacking. Therefore, Huang Gai and Han Dang simultaneously used the method of urging the army to quickly move to the two wings of Hua Xiong's army. Although they lost some of their soldiers 'combat power (rapid marching was very draining on the infantry's stamina), the two of them spent about the time it takes to burn an incense stick to cover the distance of ten miles.
After resting for less than a moment, the two of them noticed that the Hua Xiong army was completely unprepared. They beat their drums almost at the same time and launched a fierce attack! The Hua Xiong Army, which was on the way to attack Sun Jian, was completely unprepared. The long snake formation of the Hua Xiong Army was almost instantly split into several sections by Huang and Han, causing the Hua Xiong Army to be unable to form an effective defensive formation. At the same time, the command system of the Hua Xiong Army was completely paralyzed, and they lacked timely and effective command. These elite Dong Zhuo infantry seemed to always encounter the superior forces of Huang and Han. Huang Han's army, which had twice the strength of Hua Xiong's army, had gained complete control of the situation in just a moment. Hua Xiong's army had been completely routed, and Huang Han and the other two had made a prompt decision after meeting up in battle. They left behind the deputy general and the thousands of men who were still chasing after Hua Xiong's remaining soldiers, and the two of them led nearly ten thousand men to rush towards Hua Xiong's personal army. They had only arrived at the battlefield where Hua Xiong and Sun Jian were engaged in a fierce battle in just over an hour!
When they saw Sun Jian's remaining 1,000 men forming the strongest defensive formation with Sun Jian in the middle, Huang and Han heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled. Their hearts were filled with unspeakable gratification and surprise. This kind of lord was worthy of their desperate pursuit! Although he was defeated, he was not discouraged. He knew the opportunity, took into account the overall situation, and was at ease in a dangerous situation. At this moment, who in the world could compare to Sun Jian and Wen Tai!
Sun Jian faintly smiled when he saw Huang and Han's army arrive. He brandished his saber and rode his horse towards Hwa Xiong, who had been clamoring for a long time! He wanted to kill the most famous general of Western Liang under Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong! Sun Jian, who no longer had any worries in his heart, seemed to have recovered from his injuries, and his combat power was no weaker than usual. Hua Xiong, who had shocked the situation, shouted for his troops to turn to defense. Seeing Sun Jian charge out, his killing intent rose. Other than fighting against Flying General Lu Bu, Hua Xiong had never met a match in more than a hundred battles. Now that he could turn the situation around once again by killing Sun Jian, Hua Xiong's fighting spirit rose, and he urged his horse forward. This was the first time that the refined steel broadsword and Sun Jian's family heirloom had come into close contact with each other. The powerful force of the broadsword even caused the galloping horses of both sides to be pushed back a few steps!
These two famous generals knew that they had met their match. Sun Jian had yet to fully recover from his injuries when the web between his thumb and forefinger split open once again. When he swung his saber for the second time, Hua Xiong could sense Sun Jian's abnormality from the force transmitted from Sun Jian's ancient ingot saber. Thinking back to how Lu Bu had defeated Sun Jian, he immediately understood what was going on. With a sinister smile on his face, he took advantage of Sun Jian's weakness to take his life! Although Hwa Xiong was a famous general of his generation, he was not a magnanimous hero. At this moment, he was slashing with every strike, not holding back! It was a battle style where both sides were injured after losing, but Sun Jian felt bitter in his heart. There were so many heroes in the world today! Even though his mind had entered a whole new realm, the anger accumulated from the successive defeats and Zu Rong's unknown fate was still hard to dispel. Sun Jian originally wanted to kill Hwa Xiong himself.
To vent his anger, who knew that he would encounter another tough opponent! Hwa Xiong could only grit his teeth and endure, unable to do anything to Sun Jian. Dong Zhuo might be lacking in political foresight, but he had a unique set of skills when it came to selecting elite soldiers. Lu Bu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong were all worthy of being famous generals of their generation. Huang and Han's eyes were sharp, they didn't hesitate anymore, they both went straight for Hwa Xiong! In an instant, the three of them surrounded Hua Xiong. Although Huang and Han were slightly weaker than Sun Jian in martial arts, they were not much weaker. In addition, the three of them had fought together many times, and their minds were often connected. The strength of the three of them when working together was almost invincible. If they were to encounter the peerless famous general Lu Bu, they would not be inferior. Hua Xiong was still inferior to Lu Bu, and after ten rounds, he was already no match. Moreover, his front army was surrounded by Sun Jian, Huang Gai, and Han Dang's troops. He was even more panicked. Finally, each of them revealed a fatal flaw and was killed by Sun Jian with a single slash!
Hwa Xiong's order on the spot made the surrounded Hwa Xiong frontline troops lose their courage to resist and surrender to Sun Jian. With many schemes and bloody battles, Sun Jian finally obtained his first complete victory since the start of the battle! Adding on the elites of the Hua Xiong frontline who had surrendered, Sun Jian's army once again exceeded 20,000 men. After dispersing and reorganizing the elites of the Hua Xiong frontline, Sun Jian led the new army that Han and Huang had brought along with his own army of over a thousand men back to Liang County to rest and reorganize, preparing to continue marching towards Luoyang!
However, Yuan Shu, who was stationed in Luyang, fell into Li Ru's plan and began to refuse to provide further provisions. Sun Jian was shocked and rushed to Luyang overnight to personally see Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu finally agreed to continue providing provisions. After receiving the provisions, Sun Jian marched into the valley more than 90 miles away from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was terrified and refused Lu Bu's request to fight and insisted on moving the capital to Chang 'an! After looting this ancient capital, he would burn Luoyang to the ground! At the same time, millions of people were moved to Chang 'an. For a time, there were bones on the road, cries at night, and Luoyang, the thousand-year-old capital, was in ruins!
