Chapter 50 Hua Xiong: I can die in battle, but I cannot be abandoned and die by my comrades!
"Captain, how about... we take a detour?"
As the war horses galloped, Yu Jin looked at Hua Xiong and asked this.
It’s not that he was afraid of Sun Jian, it’s just that Sun Jian was really difficult to deal with.
This time, Sun Jian led his troops to block the road, and he must have come well prepared. It would not be easy to defeat him.
At least not in the short term.
There are pursuers behind us, and this place is far away from Sishui Pass. If we delay for too long, things will not be so good.
Governor Hua himself had offended many people because of Li Su and the fact that they forcibly saved him.
If we suffer a major defeat this time, I'm afraid Governor Hua will have a hard time.
Therefore, Yu Jin wanted Hua Xiong to take a detour and return to Sishui Pass.
As for Gao Shun and his Northern Army soldiers who were left behind by Governor Hua to guard the rear...
In his opinion, if Sun Jian's troops appeared in front of him, then these new recruits of the Northern Army would definitely be in great danger.
By this time, they had already been killed and dispersed, and it was impossible for them to hold on until this time.
If they had encountered any troops other than Sun Jian's Changsha Army or Gongsun Zan's Youzhou Army, they might have been able to hold out until now.
But what they encountered this time was Sun Jian's Changsha army, and there was no other result except rout.
It’s not that he looked down on Gao Shun and the Northern Army soldiers he led, it’s just that the gap between them and Sun Jian was too big!
Hua Xiong shook his head.
Go around?
Is it really possible to get around it?
“Even if they really go around, what about Xuan Chang and his Northern Army soldiers?
I, Hua Xiong, have never given up on my soldiers!"
Yu Jin hesitated after hearing this and said, "Facing Sun Jian...Xuan Chang and the others are afraid..."
Hua Xiong said: I believe Xuan Chang and his soldiers can hold on.
Even if there is only one soldier left there, I, Hua Xiong, will not take a detour but must bring him back.
The soldiers under my command, Hua Xiong, can die in battle, but they cannot be abandoned and die by their comrades!"
After Hua Xiong finished speaking, he knocked on the horse's belly and rushed forward at a faster speed.
“Haha, Governor Hua is right, soldiers can die in battle, but they cannot be abandoned and die by their comrades!
If it weren't for the governor last time, my family and many soldiers would have died!"
Wang Yuan said with a laugh.
At the same time, he whipped the warhorse, sped up the horse, and rushed forward closely following Hua Xiong.
There was no hesitation at all.
The same was true for the rest of the Xiliang cavalry and the Bingzhou troops.
Upon seeing this, Yu Jin couldn't help but secretly shake his head. This Governor Hua was not wise at all!
A smile soon appeared on his face.
However, it is really reassuring to fight under such a commander!
Yu Jin sped up his horse to catch up, and couldn't help feeling a sense of heroism in his heart.
Screw your girl's caution!
This time, I will work with Governor Hua to be less cautious and kill as much as I can!
Anyway, I have died twice, so even if I die here, it will be enough!
The sky was getting light and the temperature dropped to the lowest level of the day.
Hua Xiong led the Xiliang cavalry and marched forward...
The Gaoshun position had become a meat grinder at this point.
Many soldiers fell to the ground.
There were soldiers from the Northern Army and also from the Changsha Army under Sun Jian.
Sun Jian's face was stained with blood and his eyes were like a bloodthirsty tiger.
He is really irritable!
It was originally thought that with his elite troops joining, these infantrymen at Sishui Pass would be quickly killed off.
As a result, the fighting has continued until this time, and these people are still holding on!
Possesses extraordinary tenacity!
The defense line was opened several times, but each time we were able to cooperate with each other to block it.
Moreover, during the battle, Sun Jian could clearly feel the growth of these infantrymen at Sishui Pass.
Those soldiers who are still alive in Sishui Pass until now can no longer be called new recruits.
After being baptized by his own soldiers and himself, these infantrymen can hold their heads high wherever they go in the future!
After this thought came to his mind, Sun Jian suddenly felt a little depressed about helping the damn Hua Xiong train his troops...
“Boom boom boom…”
It was at this time that the sound of war drums suddenly sounded from behind.
Sun Jian's expression suddenly changed.
Damn it, Hua Xiong is coming!
These infantrymen at Sishui Pass actually held out until Hua Xiong's troops returned!
For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that the soldiers in front of him were too strong or he was too weak!
"My Lord, what should we do next?"
Han Dang, covered in blood, questioned Sun Jian.
He also knew the meaning of the sudden sound of the war drum.
As Gao Shun and the Northern Army he led continued to hold their ground, Sun Jian was faced with a dilemma.
Sun Jian was silent for a moment before he said, "We must eat these infantrymen at Sishui Pass!
If I don't eat it, I won't be able to swallow the anger in my heart, and I can't afford to lose face!"
Han Dang hesitated and said, "My Lord, I'm afraid..."
Although Han Dang didn't finish his words, his meaning was already very clear.
That is, based on the performance of the infantrymen at Sishui Pass, it would be difficult for them to eliminate them before Hua Xiong's troops arrived.
When that time really comes, we will become like them, attacked from all sides.
Hua Xiong was very brave. Last time, they had already suffered a loss at his hands...
Sun Jian naturally knew what Han Dang meant, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Yi. Hua Xiong's troops are coming, which is both a danger and an opportunity.
An opportunity to eat all the soldiers in front of you !
The reason why these soldiers in front of us are so difficult to deal with is that they occupy an advantageous terrain, cooperate well with each other, and have been fighting a defensive battle.
At this time, Hua Xiong is about to arrive. If you and I retreat together, these soldiers from Sishui Pass will definitely chase us!
Once caught up, they will inevitably fall into chaos and lose the advantage of terrain.
You and I will lead the troops and turn around to kill them. These soldiers can be defeated in an instant!"
Will these soldiers from Sishui Pass really chase after us?
They were all beaten like this.
If I and others retreat now, the most likely thing they will do is stay where they are and be glad that I and others have left.
Han Dang did not say what he was thinking. He followed Sun Jian's instructions and led his troops to retreat together with Sun Jian.
At this position, Gao Shun was covered in blood from killing, but his face remained extremely resolute.
“It’s Governor Hua who has returned with his troops!
The thief is trying to escape. Gentlemen, follow me to catch him!
You killed so many brothers, and now you want to run away? It's not that easy!
Attention, keep in formation!"
The taciturn Gao Shun shouted out loud.
The first one rushed out with his men.
The rest of the surviving Northern Army soldiers also gritted their teeth and rushed out.
Governor Hua is back!
They became courageous and wanted to prove directly to Governor Hua that their Northern Army was not cowards!
The efforts made by Governor Hua for them are worth it!
Han Dang, who was always paying attention to the situation here, was slightly stunned when he saw this. These people actually dared to come out and chase after him.
But soon, a grim smile appeared on his face, and he immediately led his troops and turned back with Sun Jian to kill!
Now that you're out, don't even think about going back!
