Episode 0558: Dilemma
Peng Yu looked at the listless horse in front of him with a heavy face, and he was fascinated and sad!
No matter how you look at it, this horse is far from the divine horse, and as for what his master Ma Fei said, it is really hard to believe that it can be compared to Lu Bu's red rabbit horse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Peng Yu chose to believe and accepted the horse as his mount.
There was such an unruly soldier in the cavalry under his command, and Peng Yu didn't know whether to be happy or sad in his heart, but no matter what, this cavalry Ma Fei won Peng Yu's respect, maybe for Ma Fei, this is enough.
Although Ma Fei is just a small person, the shock he brought to Peng Yu is definitely not small.
I don't know when it began, in Peng Yu's long marching career, the death of soldiers has also become accustomed to it, and Peng Yu is also sincerely happy to sacrifice a small number of soldiers to achieve a big victory.
Just like facing the pressing of Karasuma and the Yellow Turban, although Peng Yu has run out of food, Peng Yu still feels that he has the strength to fight, and he can fight with Karasuma and the Yellow Turban.
No matter how his subordinates persuaded him, Peng Yu still felt that he should fight again, instead of withdrawing his troops directly, but now the death of a small Ma Fei made Peng Yu faintly touched.
These soldiers have their own persistence, they are all people, this battle is already difficult to win, in this case, what good is it to fight again?
Peng Yu finally wavered a little, finally calmed down a little, and finally discovered all kinds of unreasonableness in this battle.
Of course, Ma Fei didn't know, because his reckless suicide brought Peng Yu a lot of reflection, and because of this, Peng Yu finally made up his mind to withdraw the army.
And what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of Peng Yu's sudden withdrawal that Peng Yu escaped with his life.
When Lu Bu and Zhang Liao arrived at the city of Wuzhong, Peng Yu had already calmed down, and after discussing with everyone, he realized all kinds of strange things, why did the reinforcements in the rear still not arrive after so much time? Why is there no food or grass in the cities behind?
Why did the Yellow Turban and Karasuma both have the strength to fight, but they desperately showed weakness to lead Peng Yu to attack Liucheng?
When the wisdom of everyone was gathered, Xi Zhi concluded that there must be a change in the rear, so that Peng Yu quickly withdrew his troops.
Peng Yu finally gave the order to immediately withdraw his troops to "Jixian".
When Peng Yu withdrew his troops to "Jixian", more than half of the 70,000 troops he brought with him were lost, and almost everyone of the remaining 30,000 or so soldiers were also colored.
As for the huge war horses, when they were short of food, they were all ordered by Peng Yu to kill the horses for food.
In short, although this battle swept all the way, but now that he has calmed down, it also makes Peng Yu feel extremely uneasy.
All these things happened as if it was a huge trap, firmly binding Peng Yu's army into the trap.
Peng Yu continued to retreat south, the yellow turbans and Karasuma in the rear were pressing closer, they seemed to know that Peng Yu's army was short of food, and they just followed from a distance, like wolves facing their prey, following you, biting you, and only waiting for you to be exhausted before launching an offensive.
Peng Yujun became more and more uneasy from top to bottom, because of all this, everyone felt a hint of conspiracy.
In particular, several teams sent by Peng Yu went to "Jixian" to ask for food for soldiers, but the soldiers were all gone, and Peng Yu frowned, knowing that the rear might not be optimistic.
Peng Yu and Xi Zhicai's worries finally became a reality, when Peng Yu's army came to the front of Jixian County, the gate of Jixian County was tightly closed, not only that, but also mobilized archers on the city wall, with a posture of defending the city.
Peng Yu was furious, but he also knew that this was not the time to attack the city, firstly, his army had no food and grass, and he was sleepy and lacking horses, and secondly, the Karasuma and the Yellow Turban in the rear were chasing closer and closer.
Xi Zhicai hurriedly persuaded Peng Yu and quickly retreated to "Fanyang County", if "Fanyang County" was the same as Jixian County, then Peng Yu's team would really have nowhere to escape.
Peng Yu immediately waved his army to Fanyang County.
To say that Peng Yu is really immortal, the county guard of Fanyang County fought with Peng Yu at the beginning, and because of this, Peng Yu's army rested in Fanyang for a while.
During this time, it happened to be a firefight, which lost a lot of soldiers, and Guo Jia was seriously ill, which made Peng Yu quite anxious.
Moreover, there is also a shortage of grain and grass in Fanyang County.
When Fanyang County was taken in this way, Peng Yu drove all the troops in Fanyang County out of Fanyang County, so when Peng Yu rushed to Fanyang County non-stop, Fan Yang still opened the door to Peng Yu.
Peng Yujun's many days of running around finally had a place to stay, but Peng Yu's heart still couldn't relax.
Because Fanyang County is also short of food, and it has even been out of food for several days!
Originally, these cities were short of food when Peng Yu attacked, but now the problem of food shortage is even more serious.
What to do?
Although Peng Yu's army is still there, the problem of lack of food makes Peng Yu at a loss.
And along the way, there was a shortage of food everywhere, and the supply of grain and grass had not arrived for a long time, which made Peng Yu more and more unable to hold his breath.
No matter how slow the supply team in the rear is, even if it is climbing, it should have climbed here!
Peng Yu, who was in Fanyang County, was faced with a choice, whether to go to Zhuo County to ask for food, or to go directly south to "Renqiu City" or "Gaoyang County"?
This choice is too important, the horses are not inexhaustible, and now Peng Yu's soldiers are no longer one person and two horses, but one person and one horse.
Rao is like this, and he still can't hold on anymore.
If you choose the wrong direction for this trip, Zhuo County is the same as Ji County, stick to the city, Peng Yu will never be sure to take Zhuo County!
There was no time to hesitate, Peng Yujun didn't dare to put everything on a Zhuojun guard who had just surrendered, so Peng Yu could only choose to continue southward to "Renqiu City".
It's a pity that whether it is Zhuo County or Renqiu City, Yang County or Gaoyang County, these three places are firmly controlled by the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.
Although when Peng Yu attacked, these three places immediately surrendered, it did not mean that when Peng Yu returned from running out of ammunition and food, he still gave up the city.
Moreover, these three places are the main battlefields that Sima Yi tailor-made for the Yellow Turban and Karasuma to besiege Peng Yu, and the commanders of these three places are all Zhang Yan's henchmen, and they were ordered to surrender Peng Yu.
In other words, what they were waiting for was Peng Yu's sudden rebellion when he withdrew his troops from Liucheng!
And now, the timing is right, how can these three people give Peng Yu the slightest chance? And the task they undertook was also extremely simple, they only needed to guard the city to stop Peng Yu and prevent him from entering the city.
Not only that, but the Taishou of these three places also piled up all the grain and grass in the city in one place, once the city could not withstand Peng Yu's attack, the three places would immediately burn the grain and grass, and would rather die than leave Peng Yu a grain behind.
Peng Yu moved to various places, swept all the way, and the strategic disadvantage of the surprise assault was finally completely exposed, because when Peng Yu took the cities in various places, he was too eager to attack the next city, so there were almost no Peng Yu's soldiers stationed in the cities on the way.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's worries finally appeared, and the loopholes arranged by Peng Yu were finally fully revealed.
Especially the current Peng Yu army, the shortage of food has reached the extreme, and it has been blocked out of the city by three cities, and there are 200,000 yellow turbans and Karasuma troops in the rear.
How should Peng Yujun break through in the ambush circle?
