Dong Zhuo made Hua Xiong the main commander, with Li Su, Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen as deputy generals, and led the fifty thousand West Cold Army to the water seal to meet the enemy. At the same time, he ordered the other armies to immediately assemble and prepare for battle.
After the meeting ended, Chen Lang followed Dong Yuan to the stable to get his black horse. Seeing that Chen Lang was about to return to the army camp, Dong Yuan couldn't help but to hug Chen Lang and passionately kiss his lips before parting with him reluctantly.
Chen Lang returned back to the camp and immediately gathered the generals, saying to the generals, "There was an urgent report from the water seal just now, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao gathered the eighteen dukes, who gathered a million troops and are rushing over!" The generals were excited, but Gan Ning could not help but shout out, "The chance has finally come! "Damn it!"
Chen Lang said to Chunyu Qiong: "Zhong Jian, immediately send two officers who know Cao Cao, and have them go to Guan Dong in disguise to contact Cao Cao." Chunyu Qiong protected her promise, and immediately ran down.
Guan Yu asked Chen Lang: "Big Brother, what should we do?"
Chen Lang thought about how Dong Zhuo's army burned the Luoyang after he was defeated and said: "Dong Zhuo should not be able to hold on for long. If Dong Zhuo couldn't resist it, he would definitely flee west to Chang'an. At that time, we would suddenly launch an attack, breaking Dong Zhuo's defense, protecting the Luoyang, and then join forces with the allied forces to attack Dong Zhuo westward. " Guan Yu and Gan Ning nodded, and felt that Chen Lang's plan was extremely good. Chen Lang ordered: All troops prepare for battle, we will await your orders anytime! The two generals cupped their fists in response before rushing out of the tent.
It was said that a few days after Hua Xiong led his troops out, an urgent military report came over, saying that Hua Xiong had been at a disadvantage in the battle of the water seal, that he had been enticed by the enemy of the water seal, that he had suffered heavy losses, and that even Hua Xiong had almost died in battle.
Dong Zhuo scolded Hua Xiong for being trash. Lv Bu cupped his fists and said: "Foster father does not need to worry, let son go personally!" Seeing Lv Bu, Dong Zhuo's mood improved, and laughed: "My son Feng Xian is unrivalled in this world, it is easy for him to take care of a mere Sun Jian!" Li Ru, who was standing by the side, anxiously said, "Grand Preceptor, the Wen Hou is the trump card of the Grand Preceptor, it cannot be easily revealed. Foolish thought that he could send the General Ying Yang to lead their troops to assist the water seal. With the abilities of the General Ying Yang, dealing with Sun Jian shouldn't be a problem. Feng Xian and our main force should stay to deal with the main force of the eighteen dukes. "
Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru's words made sense and nodded his head. He immediately looked at Chen Lang and said: "General Ying Yang, you can lead the troops there immediately!"
All of these things had happened in a completely different way than what Chen Lang knew. Facing Dong Zhuo's orders, Chen Lang could only clasp his fist and agree to it.
Chen Lang rushed back to the army camp and told the generals about Dong Zhuo's orders. The generals looked at each other, Guan Yu frowned: "Dong Zhuo actually sent us to be the vanguard, this is completely different from what we expected!" Chen Lang frowned: As of now, we can only change our plans and adapt as we please! He then said to the generals, "Inform the order now, the troops will depart immediately!" The generals cupped their fists in response.
Fifty thousand Ying Yang Army s left the barracks and headed towards the water seal. After walking for a short distance, a few thousand female soldiers rushed over from the side, and converged into the group. The leading female general was impressively Dong Yuan. They just saw Dong Yuan riding on her coquettish horse, dressed in a series of phoenix armor, with a big red cape on her shoulders and holding onto a spear.
Chen Lang said snappily: "Why are you here?"
Dong Yuan said as a matter of fact, "Since my man has gone out to battle, I naturally have to follow him!" Gan Ning laughed.
Chen Lang had no choice but to let her follow.
The army rushed to the water seal night and day. As Sun Jian and a few other marquis' soldiers and horses were attacking the city gate, the situation was extremely intense and the city gate was close to collapse. Dong Yuan anxiously said: "The water seal is in danger, let's quickly go and rescue them!" Chen Lang hesitated for a moment, then led the five thousand cavalrymen to rush out of the city, fiercely attacking the allied army! The allied army was not on guard, and was caught unprepared, causing the whole army to be thrown into chaos.
When Sun Jian, who was directing the battle, saw this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to meet them with their cavalry. At the same time, he also ordered the troops who were attacking to retreat. Sun Jian's Jiangdong cavalry stopped Chen Lang's cavalry army in a chaotic battle, causing both of them to retreat. The battle came to an end.
Chen Lang led the riders back to the pass and personally led his men to welcome them. They greeted each other and then entered the city together.
Hua Xiong said with a look of shame, "This one failed to win and has instead suppressed my anger. This is truly a shame to face the Grand Preceptor!"
Gan Ning could not help but taunt: "Since you don't have the ability, don't come out and embarrass yourself!" Hua Xiong was so ashamed and angry that his face flushed red.
Chen Lang shouted at Gan Ning: "Xing Ba, don't be rude!" Then he cupped his fists towards Hua Xiong and said: "General Hua, please forgive me, but this brother of mine has such an annoying temper." Hua Xiong said without worry.
Chen Lang asked: "I think that Sun Jian and the rest of the enemies are not the only ones here, as well as those dukes?"
Hua Xiong said: "Wang Kuang, Tortoise shell and Bao Xin. Sun Jian's family had 80,000 troops, while Wang Kuang, Tortoise's and Bao Xin's family had 20,000. The total military strength of the four families was 140,000. "I will try my best not to, it's just that the enemy has too many people. Our army is outnumbered!"
Chen Lang thought and nodded, then said to Hua Xiong: "General Hua, please go back and supervise all of the soldiers under your command to guard against death." Hua Xiong responded as he cupped his fists towards Chen Lang and led his subordinates to leave.
After a few people came out from the office, Hu Zhen could not help but snort, and said: "Everyone says that the General Ying Yang is powerful, but I don't think we will see it. There is nothing to be done against the enemy, only teach us how to defend. " Li Su shook his head: "You can't say that. That General Ying Yang's reputation was not fake. Back then, in fir pool, the Grand Tutor of the four hundred thousand West Cold Army s was unable to progress even an inch in a few days. This showed just how capable the General Ying Yang was. This is the first time that the General Ying Yang is not familiar with such a situation, it is very normal for it to be difficult to determine the strategy this time around. " Hu Zhen taunted: "You are trying to curry favor with the General Ying Yang, it's not like he can hear you!" Li Su raged and shouted: "Why did you insult me when I was speaking the truth?" Hu Zhen knew that he made a mistake, and did not say anymore. Hua Xiong snapped at them, "Shut up!" Then he jumped onto his horse, and everyone else got on their horses as well. The group of people ran towards the city gate.
Guan Yu had something he wanted to say to Chen Lang, but since Dong Yuan was present, he had no choice but to suppress it in his heart.
Chen Lang said to Dong Yuan: "Little Sis, go patrol in the army camp for me." Dong Yuan happily cupped her fists and replied, then turned and left.
Chen Lang looked at Dong Yuan's departing figure and could not help but feel guilty in his heart. He said: "Although I have a clear conscience for my plans, I've let her down!" Guan Yu frowned: "I hope that Unhindered will not have any regrets, how can I let a girl drag me down!"
Chen Lang laughed bitterly, then shook his head: "How could it be that easy!" Then he sighed, "Alright, let's cut the crap. Let's discuss our next move. "
Guan Yu cupped his fists and said: "Our current strategy is to join forces with Sun Jian and the others to snatch the water seal, and then directly take it! If he could attack the Luoyang as fast as lightning and capture Dong Zhuo, then this great disturbance will be over! "
Chen Lang thought: "I'm afraid that even so, it is not the end of this chaotic world, but the beginning of a chaotic world!" All the generals had a surprised look on their faces.
Chen Lang did not explain, and asked Chunyu Qiong: "The people you sent out has not come back yet?" Chunyu Qiong shook her head, "Not yet."
At the same time, Sun Jian and the others returned to the camp and gathered in the big tent. Wang Kuang was annoyed: "We are about to break through, but did not expect reinforcements to suddenly come, and cause our efforts to fail!" "I saw the eagle pattern on the flags of the reinforcements. Could it be Ying Yang Army Zuo Yu and the guards?" Bao Xin nodded, "It should be them!"
Wang Kuang snorted, and said: "What Zuo Yu Lin Wei! Now, he was simply Dong Zhuo's lackey! If I were to meet Chen Lang, I will definitely exterminate him with a spear! "
Bao Xin taunted: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not be you killing him, but him killing you!"
Wang Kuang was enraged, he slapped the table and stood up, and shouted: "What did you say?"
Tortoise quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Master Wang, don't be angry! Although Sir Bao's words were not pleasing to the ears, it was also to remind Sir Wang not to underestimate the enemy! He knew that Chen Lang was not an easy opponent, all those years ago, his power had already shaken the world, and later on, in the fir pool, I heard that he used twenty thousand soldiers and horses to hold back Dong Zhuo's four hundred thousand strong army for a few days! Such bravery and scheming is definitely not normal! " Wang Kuang snorted, he sat back down and said: "In my eyes, he is not even worth mentioning!"
Tortoise cupped his fists towards Sun Jian and said: "I wonder what kind of opinions Master Sun has?" Everyone looked at Sun Jian.
Sun Jian laughed, then said indifferently: "No matter who it is, our army will flatten water seal and send them to the Luoyang!" Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Qiao Tuo couldn't help but exclaim: "Mister Sun is indeed a hero with a heroic spirit!"
Sun Jian said: "Everyone is tired from today's battle, go and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will attack the water seal again. " The three of them nodded, they stood up, cupped their fists to Sun Jian and left the tent.
Sun Jian looked at the handsome young man standing at the side and asked: "Gongjin, do you think that General Ying Yang has really sided with Dong Zhuo?"
Zhou Yu was thinking of something, but hearing Sun Jian's words, he did not answer and instead asked: "Does Uncle not think that he has already pledged his allegiance to Dong Zhuo?"
Sun Jian said: "According to this person's past experiences. He must belong to a strong family. It's very hard for me to believe that he would turn to Dong Zhuo for help. "
