Chapter 51: An Extremely Strange Total Victory
The two horses charged past, so fast that before everyone around them could see clearly, the winner was already distinguished. [Ran^Text^Library] With a crisp sound of "ding", the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand broke, and a penetrating wound appeared on his chest, which was obviously pierced by Zhou Yukun's blow.
Zhang Xiu turned his head stiffly, and looked at Zhou Yukun's gaze, revealing a little complexity and remorse. However, Zhou Yukun didn't notice his expression, but looked at his hands in shock, he didn't expect this blow to kill Zhang Xiu so easily. Of course, he knew that the main thing was not because of his own strength improvement, it should be the credit of Xiao Bailong.
The little white dragon is a peerless horse, of course, its speed and explosiveness are incomparable, under its high-speed sprint, Zhou Yukun's phoenix beak can be played for a long time, and even when the opponent has not fully shot, he came to the other party and killed him with one blow.
Seeing that there were more and more soldiers around, especially after seeing the general being killed, they all wanted to intercept and kill Zhou Yukun. He didn't dare to be in a daze anymore, so he turned around and rushed out in the direction he came.
Xu Shu, who was hidden in the valley, saw that Zhou Yukun had successfully killed the enemy general, so he gave the order for all to attack.
Zhou Yukun, who was still rushing to kill in the crowd, suddenly heard a shout of killing, and saw many lightly armored cavalry rushing down on both sides of the valley, slashing wildly in the weak crowd. He stopped, turned his head, and rushed into the crowd again.
All of a sudden, screams rang out, and Cao Cao's soldiers, weakened by the fragrance of flowers, could not resist the cavalry's attack at all, and it was even difficult to counterattack them, because most of them were infantry, how could they catch up with the swift cavalry.
The death of the vanguard general greatly reduced the morale of Cao Cao's soldiers, coupled with the fact that there were no other figures who could really command the whole army, the whole army was in chaos, and they were only killed by Zhou Yukun and them.
After about ten minutes of fighting, Cao's army scattered and fled, while the army behind that had not yet entered the valley quickly retreated, trying to join the troops behind. The whole valley was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, and it was a complete hellish sight.
Zhou Yukun still had a burst of acid reflux in his stomach, although he didn't feel it at the time, but now that he has calmed down, he is still a little uncomfortable to see this scene. Xu Shu walked over and slowly patted him on the shoulder: "Get used to it, just get used to it!" This is the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides have their own responsibilities to protect their own ideals. Therefore, there can be no mercy for them, because although they die, they are their own heroes, and it is glorious for a soldier to die on the battlefield! ”
Indeed, after Xu Shu's teaching, Zhou Yukun felt a lot better. These soldiers are indeed proud, how can he pity these proud heroes? "So, what do we do next? Do you want to continue the ambush? ”
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "The ambush is not good, this place has leaked, after all, our soldiers are too few to annihilate all the enemy troops, so many soldiers have escaped." Moreover, after this battle, we also lost a lot of manpower, and about 300 people died. ”
"So, we're going to retreat now? Because Cao Cao's army on this side has also lost a lot, it should be difficult to break through from here! ”
"You must not retreat, once you retreat, there is no chance. We should leave the valley for a while and move to seclusion. Cao Cao's army was numerous, and the battle just now would not hurt them at all, and they would definitely send troops to arrive. Xu Shu said affirmatively.
After that, Xu Shu led everyone out of the valley and came to a forest in the southwest of the valley. After waiting for half an hour, Cao Jun was delayed, and Xu Shu had a hint of foreboding in his heart.
A fast horse suddenly rushed into the forest, and when he looked closely, it was our army's intelligence soldiers, who brought several pieces of information about other battlefields to the military division. Xu Shu looked at it in detail for a long time, but his brows gradually condensed together. He quickly pulled out a simple map from his clothes and looked at it carefully.
The curious Zhou Yukun picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them, and found that what was written on them was not bad news, but the victory reports of the other Quartet, and he didn't know why the military advisor was unhappy. "Strategist, isn't this news of a great victory, why are you so nervous?"
Xu Shu didn't reply, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and was still watching on the map. Zhou Yukun laughed wryly, scratched his head and wanted to look in front of the map.
However, Xu Shu suddenly shouted, which startled Zhou Yukun: "It's not good, it's not good!" ”
"What's wrong with you, Strategist? Isn't it good to win big? ”
Due to the sudden change in the situation, Xu Shu's attitude also became excited: "Of course it's not good, you have to see what the situation is now." We are at an absolute disadvantage, the enemy is absolutely strong, and in this case, it is very gratifying that we can get some small victories. However, if you look at this information, it is clear that we have defeated the enemy, don't you think it is terrible? ”
Zhou Yukun still didn't understand, and said in wonder: "Strategist, just say it, I still don't understand what's wrong with victory?" ”
Xu Shu let out a long breath and calmed down: "Okay, then I'll give you a good analysis." Victory is a good thing, of course, but this weird total suppression is not. You must know that Cao Cao has an army of more than 600,000 people, and even if the army is scattered into several parts to surround us, it will have to face at least 100,000 troops. Do you think that with our thousands of cavalry, we can completely block them and still win a big victory? The answer, of course, is no, and it's 100% impossible. ”
Xu Shu said, while taking out a roll of bamboo slips and writing on it: "So, now that there is such a completely impossible situation, it must be the enemy's conspiracy." The first possibility is that Cao Cao showed weakness to the enemy and wanted us to relax our vigilance against them. But after thinking about it carefully, I ruled out this possibility, because they were completely unnecessary, and there was no need to show weakness at all for such a strong strength.
The second possibility, which I just found on the map. My guess is that they didn't have the main forces in these five directions of our defense. As for these small troops they sent, they are to confuse our sight. And their real purpose should be here! ”
Zhou Yukun looked at Xu Shu's finger in response, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and be shocked in place. Because the place Xu Shu was referring to was the place where Liu Bei and the people evacuated. Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and said with some annoyance: "It's me who underestimated Cao Cao's resourcefulness, they are now preparing to bypass our defensive line, abandon Xinye City, and go straight to the lord." Since our defense was only distributed in five directions, and there was no defensive line directly south of the main father's withdrawal, the main prince was now in a very dangerous situation. I've now written down an order for them to abandon the defense of Shinno Castle and assemble all of them to the south. ”
"So, what do we do now?" Zhou Yukun was also anxious, Liu Bei not only had countless people there, but also Yuan Xinwen was there, what if something happened to her!
"Don't panic, now that it's happened, we have to take it in stride. Now we have one more advantage, and that is speed. There are many of them, and they must not be as fast as us, so I want you to ride the little white dragon now and rush to the lord's side as fast as possible. They don't know the current situation, they must be negligent in their defenses, you must tell the lord the information, let him speed up, and leave the more than 1,000 defenders behind. Xu Shu calmly commanded Zhou Yukun, and the bamboo slips in his hand were also written and handed over to the intelligence soldiers.
"Yes, I'll rush over quickly, just leave it to me!" Zhou Yukun took the order solemnly, didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned over directly on the horse, and disappeared from sight in a few blinks of an eye.
Be sure to pass the news on, whether this battle is won or lost, it's all up to Zilong! Xu Shu thought silently in his heart.
