Ever since Jia Xu had learned of the situation in the capital from Hou Cheng and the other Bingzhou soldiers, he had ordered Li Jue, Guo Si, and the other generals to slow down.
Using the mobility of the cavalry, they went to gather information and meet up with the soldiers at Luoyang's eight passes.
The gathering of the eight passes was the true strength of the Western Liang army, the 200,000-strong Western Liang cavalry that Dong Zhuo had mentioned!
Just as they were approaching Beimang Mountain, more generals from the other outposts were arriving, all of them determined to massacre the capital!
When Dong Zhuo deposed him, they didn't choose to leave. Instead, they chose to help Zhou. These Western Liang Army generals had already embarked on a path of no return.
Or the victor can be king, and the emperor can be held hostage to command the princes. Either the loser leaves the battlefield and returns to Liangzhou, or he dies on the battlefield!
The generals of the Western Liang Army were already prepared to die in battle. After all, they were bound to Dong Zhuo and were on the same boat!
"General Zhang Ji is leading his troops here!"
"General Xu Rong is leading the army!"
"General Hu Zhen is leading his troops here!"
……
With the arrival of Dong Zhuo's generals, the Western Liang Army's power instantly grew.
Hou Cheng and the other soldiers of Bingzhou who had joined the army felt their confidence greatly boosted. With the current strength and formation of the Western Liang Army, they would definitely be able to crush the capital!
Even if those factory guards were skilled in martial arts, they were only able to block a chariot with their mantis arms when faced with the charge of the cavalry!
Guo Si looked at Zhang Ji and asked in confusion,"Zhang Ji, where's your nephew Zhang Xiu?"
"I asked him to guard Mengjin Pass to prevent any accidents.”
Zhang Ji said without changing his expression. In fact, Zhang Ji was afraid that something would happen to them, so he asked Zhang Xiu to bring his wife, Madam Zou, and prepare to escape at any time.
His wife and children were Zhang Ji's weakness. If an accident happened, he could still escape quickly alone, but if he dragged his family along, he would not be able to escape quickly.
"Humph!"
Guo Si was a little dissatisfied." Now that the Prime Minister has been captured, Zhang Xiu is the Spear King of the Northern Lands. He is very powerful. We need him, but you want him to guard the pass?" Could it be that he had already made plans to escape at any time?”
"General Guo, what are you talking about? If I wanted to leave, why would I lead my troops here?”Zhang Ji didn't care at all and said casually," What? Did you bring your family here?”
Li Jue interrupted their bickering and said,"Alright! The Prime Minister has been captured, and Liu Bian has clearly set up a trap to lure us into it. With the enemy in front of us, let's not have any internal conflicts!”
The other Western Liang Army generals looked at each other in dismay!
"General Li, are you sure it was His Majesty who set this up?" Zhang Ji asked in disbelief. It's not that I have no respect for the ruler, but His Majesty…doesn't have the ability, right?”
Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. He asked in a low voice,"If that kid Liu Bian had such ability, why would he be imprisoned in the North Palace? Did other warlords interfere? Or did those aristocratic families want to betray them?”
Xu Rong and the other generals had heavy expressions, but they were also in disbelief!
Li Jue didn't waste any time and immediately summoned Hou Cheng and the other soldiers of Bingzhou, telling them about their experiences.
The generals of the Western Liang Army looked at each other in dismay!
Was this still the Liu Bian they knew?! It was simply unbelievable!
"This battle is unusually dangerous!" Xu Rong pondered for a long time and sighed."We need to prepare for the worst!”
" That's right…" Jia Xu was about to speak when the Western Liang army scout he had left outside Hangu Pass suddenly rode over in a hurry.
"General, general, something happened at Hangu Pass!”
"What's wrong with Hangu Pass?" Li Jue, Guo Si, and the other generals immediately surrounded them, their faces filled with anxiety. This was their escape route!
" Not long after the general left with the army, four highly skilled swordsmen suddenly attacked Hangu Pass and easily seized the pass…" The Western Liang army scout said with lingering fear.
Li Jue pounced forward and said in disbelief,
"I left more than a thousand Western Liang soldiers at Hangu Pass and several thousand imperial guards guarding it. Are you kidding me? Even Tong Yuan wouldn't be able to do it, right?”
Tong Yuan was the Spear God of the world, the master of the Northern Spear King Zhang Xiu and the Xichuan Spear King Zhang Ren. He was an expert in martial arts and a peerless expert!
Tong Yuan also had a last disciple, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Yun from Chang Mountain!
The scout was also in disbelief and said in horror,"General, I didn't lie to you…"
"Who are those four? Have you underestimated their looks?" Jia Xu's insight was extremely strong, and he could tell that the spy was not lying. He asked in a deep voice,""What did they do after that?"
The Xi Liang army spy took a deep breath and said,"
"Commandant Jia, among the four peerless experts, one of them is disabled in both legs and is sitting in a wheelchair, but he can fly in the air as light as a swallow.
"A person with a palm as solid as a rock can actually penetrate the bluestone walls and easily climb up. One of them had amazing leg techniques and extremely strong lightness skills. He could actually walk swiftly on the city wall and reach the top directly. There was also a person with superb swordsmanship and an astonishing killing intent.”
The generals of the Western Liang army looked at each other when they heard this!
Are you sure you're not joking with us?
Both legs disabled? He was already in a wheelchair, yet he could still fly in the air?!
His palm penetrated the city wall? If a body of flesh and blood could penetrate the city wall, what was the use of a city wall?
He could walk on the city wall as if he was flying? Why didn't you just fly into the sky!
Only the last swordsmanship expert with an astonishing killing intent was slightly acceptable to the Western Liang army generals!
However, the first three people were so abnormal, so the last person should not be much different, right?!
No wonder the Hangu Pass's defenders were defeated and taken over. Just these four peerless experts 'unexpected attack was simply impossible to guard against!
With their army mobilized, it was reasonable for Hangu Pass to be seized without a leader!
The scout was still in fear and continued,"After they took Hangu Pass, they planted a signal flag on the battlements of the city tower and opened the city gate…"
At this point, the scout revealed a terrified expression, and his body could not help but tremble!
This made Jia Xu and the other generals of the Western Liang Army even more curious. This was because the spies did not show such fear when they talked about the four experts! He was so frightened!
Did something happen after that?!
Could there be something more shocking than these four peerless experts?!
"Not long after, a group of cavalry appeared!”
" This is a very powerful cavalry unit. There are only a few thousand of them. However, if the general is still at Hangu Pass, he will die miserably on the spot!"”
Hiss!
The sound of people inhaling cold air rang out!
Li Jue had more than a hundred thousand Western Liang cavalry under him, as well as the elite Flying Bear Army!
This kind of military strength was enough to sweep away all the vassals in the world. Facing thousands of cavalrymen, they actually ended up in a miserable defeat?!
What kind of joke was this?
"Your knowledge is shallow, so don't judge lightly. Don't come over and confuse the morale of the army!”Li Jue's face darkened.
"General! It's true!"
" It's better than the Furious Bear Army," the scout said with lingering fear." Whether it's the momentum, the line-up, the horses, or the equipment, they are all better than the Furious Bear Army!”
The scout could not explain it, and even he himself did not know why. Although the two armies were not fighting, he felt that the Flying Bears Army was definitely not a match for any of the armies!
"Do you know what that cavalry is called? Who is the commander?" Jia Xu asked in a low voice.
"I don't know who the commander is, but the words 'Snowy Dragon Cavalry' are faintly discernible in the fluttering flag!”"That elite cavalry should be called the Snow Dragon Cavalry!" the scout replied.!!”
