Lu Bu looked at Liu Qing's war horse Jin Ge, then looked at his own mount, and then looked at the neatly lined up armored cavalry. It turned out that even though they were small soldiers, their war horse protective equipment was better than his own.

"The governor has given a prize. Now that we have gathered, we should leave early!" Liu Qing said.

Ding Yuan nodded. The trip from Caisangjin to Longmen Mountain only took half a day. If he urged his horses, he would be there in no time.

When Liu Qing and Ding Yuan were marching, Huangfu Song also sent cavalry sentries everywhere to explore the whereabouts of the Xianbei army. Unfortunately, they found nothing for several days. At the same time, in the early morning, Xiayang County, which was poorly defended, was fiercely attacked by the Xianbei army.

attack.

Bu Dugen pretended to withdraw his troops, but ordered the entire army to camp on the mountain. At the same time, he cut down trees and built several wooden bridges. Taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly came to the outside of Xiayang City and used wooden bridges to bridge the moat.

Just before dawn, it is when people are most tired. Bu Dugen took advantage of this and launched an attack order at this time.

Huangfu Song's cavalry sentry across the river had met up with his cavalry who had broken off the rear. Based on this alone, Bu Dugen could guess Huangfu Song's intention to cross the river. If coupled with the Han army heading south to pick Sangjin, his situation would be precarious.

.

After careful consideration, Bu Dugen decided to attack Xia Yang. If things didn't go his way, that was the only way...

When the Xia Yang defenders discovered the enemy attack, the Xianbei people had even climbed halfway up the ladder.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sound the alarm!" the soldiers on the city top shouted in panic.

The soldiers on duty rushed to the top of the city and fought with the Xianbei soldiers who had just jumped to the top of the city. In terms of the quality of the individual soldiers, there was still a huge gap between the two. In just two rounds, the Xianbei soldiers holding scimitars were defeated by the defenders.

The spear took his life.

More than ten people jumped to the top of the city one after another. The first warriors selected by Bu Dugen were not afraid of death. They used their bodies to open a passage. The following people pulled up a line of defense at the top of the city. After that, there was a steady stream of people.

Xianbei soldiers climbed up.

The news spread quickly and soon reached Dong Zhuo's ears. He was surprised and a little excited. He ignored the objections of his subordinates and rode straight to the north gate of the city.

But at this moment, there was already a melee on the top of the city. People kept pouring onto the top of the city, and people kept falling down. They were all slashed and stabbed with swords and spears, and they were all red-eyed.

"No! We're actually attacking!" Dong Zhuo murmured and ordered without hesitation: "Flying Bear Army! Advance!"

The Flying Bear Army was a unit that Dong Zhuo carefully cultivated. So far, its number is only a thousand, but the five hundred people who follow him all the time are good hands. In the past, Dong Zhuo has made numerous meritorious deeds. He has received large and small rewards and seized plundered money and artifacts.

They all gave it to them selflessly, so they were completely devoted and loyal to Dong Zhuo.

Although each of the Flying Bear Army was wearing scale armor, their movements were not sluggish at all. They jumped off their horses and quickly blended into the soldiers who were still charging towards the city.

The Flying Bear Army had different weapons, and Dong Zhuo encouraged each to have its own strengths, so some used long soldiers, some used swords, and some even used iron rods and maces.

As soon as they entered the battlefield, they first saw signs. The Flying Bear Army charged fiercely one by one, often attacking at the risk of losing their lives. The Han army at the top of the city was surrounded by them, and their morale suddenly increased.

The front line originally charged by the Xianbei warriors gradually retreated under the impact of the Flying Bear Army.

Their strength was inferior, their equipment was inferior, and even their morale was inferior. As the last few Xianbei people were thrown off the city wall and shattered into pieces, there were no Xianbei people left on the city walls.

"The Han army is so brave!"

Bu Dugen, who was standing by the moat and watching, lamented that the Xianbei people were really not good at attacking the city. Even those who successfully reached the top of the city were defeated by them. If the Han army was prepared, they might not even be able to touch the top of the city.

"We still have to take that road!" Bu Dugen gritted his teeth and said, we can't return north, we can't advance south, we can't cross east, we can only retreat west!

Retreating westward means crossing mountains and ridges, giving up all war horses, giving up all baggage, and giving up everything invested in the battlefield of the Han Dynasty.

"Send the order, retreat!" Bu Dugen ordered.

In a short period of time, hundreds of corpses were left behind, and the Xianbei army withdrew.

Dong Zhuo climbed to the top of the city and looked at the city where the blood was flowing like water. His eyes were a little fiery and his heart was a little excited.

He stepped on the corpses of the Xianbei people and looked at the retreating soldiers, his mood fluctuating.

Dong Zhuo thought that the Xianbei people's sneaky attack on the city further demonstrated their urgency and their intention to quickly enter the pass to influence the battle situation in Meiyang. Unfortunately, all this was expected by the young master.

"Young Master's move is truly a stroke of genius!" Dong Zhuo sighed secretly. Of course, "We are also crucial!"

"Win! Win!" Dong Zhuo took the lead and shouted.

"Win!"

"Win!"

The soldiers at the top of the city shouted in unison, and their morale was astonishing.

…

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Fu Xie had all crossed the river, and with them were six thousand Han troops. They went south, defeated the Xianbei army, and caught up with the baggage train. The result was of course no suspense. Yes, a lot of money was seized.

More than ten miles further ahead is Xiayang County. Unfortunately, there is still no trace of the Xianbei army, but there are many traces of their activities on the road.

"General!" The sentry came to report, "A large number of horse corpses have been found to the west."

Horse corpses? Did the Xianbei army run out of food and grass and kill horses to satisfy their hunger?

With doubts, the three men led their troops there.

In the end, the three of them saw an extremely bloody scene. Thousands of war horses collapsed at the foot of the mountain. Most of them only had fur, bones, and internal organs left. Almost all the meat had been gouged out. .

Even though they were used to seeing the misery of battlefields, everyone, including the three generals, felt uncomfortable when faced with such a large slaughter scene.

Zhu Jun sighed, looked at the layers of mountains, and said to the two of them: "If I remember correctly, this mountain is called Liangshan. The Xianbei army must have taken all the food they could and escaped over the mountain."

"The main force of Xianbei is still there. I don't know why they chose such an extreme method, but the person leading the army is quite courageous!" Huangfu Song said.

Fu Xie said: "If you don't leave Xia Yang, there will be no way. The doubts here can be solved by going to Xia Yang!"
