The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Hu Zhen's 100,000-strong army arrived at Hulao Pass and saw the coalition soldiers on the other side of the Si River cutting down trees and preparing to build boats to cross the Si River.

Seeing the huge momentum of the coalition forces, the Xiliang generals discussed how to deal with it.

"What strategies do you generals have to defeat the enemy? Tell me quickly." General Hu Zhen spoke first.

"The last general thought that we should camp along the Si River and use strong bows and crossbows to block the enemy troops crossing the river." Lieutenant General Zhang Ji said.

"Otherwise, the general thinks that our army should cross the Si River first and launch an attack on its vanguard. How could those old and weak remnant troops be our opponents of the Xiliang cavalry? They can win in one battle." Lieutenant General Fan Silk was full of confidence. .

"I think what the two generals said is reasonable. Our army should take a two-pronged approach. Hua Xiong is not talented and is willing to lead an army across the Si River to launch a surprise attack on the coalition forces. General Zhang and General Fan can camp along the coast. If our army is defeated , use strong bows and crossbows to repel the enemy; if our army is victorious, we can take advantage of the situation and cross the river to pursue them." The speaker was nine feet tall, with a tiger-like back and a bear-like waist. He had the unique characteristics of northwest people. He was none other than Hua Xiong, the first warrior in Xiliang. .

"Okay, General Hua's plan is very clever. I will give you 30,000 elite troops. Zhang Ji and Fan Si will each lead 30,000 troops to camp along the coast to respond." Hu Zhen gave the order.

"Got the order!" The three of them took the military order and mobilized their troops in various ways to prepare for the war.

Those who were logging and building ships were the Danyang soldiers under Yuan Shu, and their leader was named Sun Jian. It is said that he is a descendant of Sun Wu, originally from Wu County. When Sun Jian was a boy, he followed his father to fight pirates and organized a rebel army to fight against the local rebels in Jiangdong. He was victorious and conquered, so he was nicknamed the Tiger of Jiangdong. Later, he served in Jingzhou. Because the people were cruel and harsh to the gentry and people of Jingzhou, he was resisted by the gentry and people of Jingzhou, so he had no choice but to leave Jingzhou. During the Yellow Turban Uprising, he was recruited by Yuan Shu and became his general. He conquered the east and west for the Yuan family. He made many military exploits and was worshiped as the governor of Changsha.

Most of the Danyang soldiers led by Sun Jian were Shanyue people, who fought bravely, moved quickly, and were very loyal to their general Sun Jian. Sun Jian also had four generals under his command, namely: Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao. They all followed Sun Jian to fight pirates when they were teenagers. They were considered Sun Jian's retainers.

"General, how can a man live under others for a long time? That Yuan Shu is jealous of his talents. The general won the battle, and all the credit belongs to him. I feel unfair for you!" The speaker was Huang Gai, who was good at using two whips and was brave and good at fighting.

"Don't talk nonsense about public overthrow. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, our ancestors are not public ministers, they are all common people. In this world, only by doing more military exploits can we have a chance to get ahead." Sun Jian cut down the tree trunk and said to the four retainers.

When everyone was in full swing, Hua Xiong led the cavalry to attack. At this time, the Danyang soldiers were unprepared. They fell to the ground as soon as they charged. It was a rout. Sun Jian was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He shouted, "Form up to meet the enemy." With a quick leap, he kicked a Xiliang cavalry off his horse, pulled out the ancient ingot sword, and slashed several people in a row. Danyang was already panicking. Seeing how brave the general was, the soldiers quickly recovered their fighting strength. For a time, the two armies were inextricably linked.

At this moment, Zhang Ji and Fan Si on the other side of the Sishui River joined the battlefield with 60,000 Xiliang troops, which suddenly changed the situation of the battle. Their numerical advantage successfully suppressed the Danyang soldiers. Sun Jian was also hit by an arrow, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai fought to the death. To protect Sun Jian, Han Dang fought his way out with one against a hundred, while Zu Mao, the most courageous one, stayed behind to break up the rear.

Zhang Ji and Fan Silk worked together to fight Zu Mao, but Zu Mao used a pair of swords to make the tiger and tiger feel windy. The wind blew up dust and sand, and actually cut Fan Silk's left arm.

When Hua Xiong saw this, he shouted, "I'm coming!" Before he finished speaking, he came on horseback carrying an eighty-pound spring and autumn sword. Zu Mao gave up the chance to kill Fan Si and drove his horse towards Hua Xiong.

The Sun and Moon swords faced off against the Spring and Autumn sword. This was a duel between forces, and the two men fought hard. Fight for ten rounds in a row, no matter who wins or loses! However, Zu Mao's mount was exhausted. Under the fierce pressure of Hua Xiong's broadsword, the horse stumbled. Zu Mao was thrown off the horse. Hua Xiong took the opportunity to slap the horse forward. Poor Danyang's number one warrior was trampled to death by the Xiliang war horse. Cracked and ended with hatred.

The coalition forces were defeated, and Sun Jian returned to the coalition camp with less than a hundred men. Tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers died in the battle, their heads were cut off, and they were made the capital of the capital.
