"Military doctor, how is the general?" Li Meng asked quickly when he saw the military doctor coming out of Xu Rong's camp.

"General Xu was injured by a concealed weapon. This concealed weapon is very overbearing and has injured his muscles and bones. We have taken out the concealed weapon and applied medicine. However, I am afraid that General Xu will no longer be able to carry a sword and go to the battlefield in person. Now General Xu has lost a lot of blood.

Dao is still in a coma, so don't disturb him yet." The military doctor returned with great regret.

"As long as the general is fine!" Li Meng finally took a breath.

...

In early May of the first year of Chuping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Xu Rong of Dong Zhuo's army was injured by Sun Teng. Without his command, his perfect plan could only fall short.

In this battle, Dong Zhuo's army suffered more than 1,800 cavalry casualties and more than 500 infantry casualties. Among the allies, Yuan Shu's army was attacked by surprise and suffered more than 3,000 casualties. 4,000 troops and General Qiao Rui were captured. Zhang Xun was captured by Deputy General Sun Teng.

Zu Mao rescued him, but Sun Jianjun also paid a thousand casualties.

Most of the captured soldiers and horses chose to surrender, and they had no choice. It didn't matter which lord they chose, as long as they could survive in troubled times.

Only a small number of dead soldiers were unwilling to surrender and were beheaded.

General Qiao Rui was escorted to Luoyang to await Dong Zhuo's treatment.

Xu Rong's sixth brother, Wang Yu, took charge of the military power of Dong Zhuo's army at Sishui Pass, and ordered Hua Xiong to lead his troops to slowly advance, and had already reached the stronghold where Sun Teng led his remaining soldiers to garrison.

At this time, Hua Xiong and the troops of South General Liu Xiao, who had broken through the Allied defense circle, successfully joined forces.

Xu Rong was left to recuperate in Sishui Pass. Meng Hao, a veteran who had followed Dong Zhuo for most of his life, was disheartened and went back to his hometown with the armor and weapons his fourth brother had used during his lifetime.

Wang Yu left behind the original defenders and surrendered troops as well as Xu Rong's personal troops, nearly 10,000 troops. He led Li Meng, Sima Yu and Hua Xiong to join. The troops that had followed Xu Rong on the expedition experienced the defense battle of Sishui Pass and the battle to rescue Wang Yu.

After the surprise attack on Yuan's army, there were nearly 5,000 casualties. However, the Allied forces attacking Sishui Pass suffered 18,000 casualties. Yuan Shu's 20,000-strong army only had a quarter of its strength left. General Qiao Rui was also captured.

.

After Yuan Shu learned about it, he quickly recalled the embarrassed Zhang Xun, demoted him and sent him back to Shouchun. He sent another confidant general Yu She to lead his 3,000 troops from the western battlefield to join the 5,000 defeated troops left by Zhang Xun.

Together with Sun Teng's 17,000 troops, he defended the northern front.

As a result, Dong Zhuo's army turned from defensive to offensive in the battle on the Sishui Pass branch line, resisting the southern allied forces led by Yuan Shu's army. However, Dong Zhuo ordered that they only need to resist Yuan Shu's army. An overly long battle line would be detrimental to Dong Zhuo's army.

And the most critical thing now is the frontal battlefield at Hulao Pass. If we spend a lot of effort to attack Wancheng at this time, it will be recaptured by the Allies in a few days.

At this time, in a corner forgotten by the world, Liu Yan ordered General Yan Yan to lead 20,000 Sichuan troops to attack Hanzhong.

At this time, there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding Hanzhong. When he learned that the Sichuan army was invading, the prefect Yang Ang led 10,000 horses to intercept Liu Yan's army. They relied on the mountains and natural barriers to block Liu Yan's army's fierce attack. The two armies started a tug-of-war in central Sichuan.

On the other hand, Yu Sheng'an's escort formation had blocked the surprise attack by Guo Si's troops and successfully escorted the North Route Allied Army headed by Yan Wen to join the Central Route Army. Dong Zhuo's Luoyang City also assembled an army of 300,000 troops.

, and Dong Zhuo was also ready to personally conquer the rebels.
