The Chinese army beside Yuan Shao was trapped in place by the right cavalry regiment arranged by Fenwu Military Captain Han Hao.

Although there were many of them, they could only hold on, and did not dare to take the initiative to go to the battlefield on the west side to rescue the 30,000 infantry who were being strangled by the cavalry of the Fenwu Army.

After all, the only advantage of the infantry against the cavalry is the formation, and when the rescue is made, the formation is chaotic, and the cavalry will inevitably take advantage of the weakness.

Yuan Shao watched the 30,000 infantry in the battlefield on the west side constantly being harvested by the cavalry of the Fenwu Army, and he regretted it in his heart!

Knowing this, he should have let Meng Dai lead the cavalry to take the initiative to meet the enemy, even if he was defeated, it would be okay to hold back the attack of the cavalry of the Fenwu Army.

Only by doing so will the infantry of the Jizhou Army have enough time to form a military formation.

As soon as the army formation is completed, even if the cavalry of the Fenwu Army cannot be strangled, at least the losses will be reduced a lot, and the losses will not be as heavy as they are now.

The lord can know his mistakes and correct them, but he can't admit them, especially in this situation, he can't take the initiative to admit them.

Since he couldn't admit his mistake, Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu angrily.

Xin said: "It's all to blame for this Guo Tu, who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, what kind of bad strategy he came up with, causing heavy losses to his army." ”

After Guo Tu, who had small eyes, saw the situation on the battlefield, he kept observing Yuan Shao's face.

Looking at Yuan Shao's gloomy face, Guo Tu knew in his heart: Yuan Shao now needs a 'back-up man'.

persuaded himself aggrievedly: "If I don't take the blame, who will take the blame?" ”

The counselor is only responsible for making plans, and whether or not he uses this strategy is up to the lord.

But Yuan Shao is a person who takes face very seriously.

So, Guo Tu stepped forward with a nervous face and said to Yuan Shao:

"My lord, the cavalry on the other side is too sharp.

Constantly dividing our infantry on the battlefield will prevent our infantry from forming an encirclement and unable to exert its corresponding combat effectiveness, so that it can only be slaughtered.

It's all my bad strategy, and I'm willing to die to comfort the soldiers who were killed and wounded in this battle because of me.

But at this moment, please ask the lord to quickly withdraw his troops and do his best to preserve the vitality of our army. ”

Yuan Shao looked at the people around him, all of them had a look of hope, and said to the generals around him: "Pass my order, Mingjin should withdraw the troops." ”

Then he said to Meng Dai: "Meng Dai, you lead the cavalry and the three generals Lu Bu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to cut off the rear of our army together. ”

Then he gritted his teeth and said to Guo Tu: "Hmph! You're embarrassed to say that it's all your good deeds.

But what's the use of my life? Now I don't have time to care about you, where are you going to get out of here? Don't bother me by watching.

Your fault, I made a note of it.

Waiting to return to Yecheng, I will make you look good. ”

Guo Tu looked frightened, bowed to Yuan Shao, and begged for mercy: "The lord spares his life!" Lord, spare your life! ”

But he smiled in his heart: "Hehe, thank you lord!" ”

Based on Guo Tu's understanding of Yuan Shao, he knows: If Yuan Shao really wants to execute himself, how can he let himself return to Yecheng? Now give the order for people to drag themselves down and cut them down.

Yuan Shao just made a gesture - picked it up high and put it down gently.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words of punishment to Guo Tu, they all understood in their hearts that Yuan Shao and Guo Tu were playing a 'double reed' here.

He didn't say anything, and followed Yuan Shao towards Yiyang County.

Yuan Shao's final order was very decisive and correct, and only the cavalry could entangle the cavalry.

Lu Bu and the other three fierce generals still couldn't catch up with Zhang Liao, who only knew how to escape, and if they continued to chase after them with all their might, they could only return in vain.

When the three of them received Yuan Shao's order, they gave up Zhang Liao, and like the three 'killing gods', they led their men and horses to block the pursuit of the Jizhou army by the Fenwu army and the Montenegrin army.

The infantry of the Jizhou army, under the cover of the cavalry, rushed towards Yiyang County.

On a hill about five miles away from the battlefield, Han Cheng, Li Ru, and Fu Zhu were looking at the battlefield.

Li Ru said to Han Cheng: "The lord is really as wise as a torch, and he can find a war wizard like Zhang Wenyuan.

As a commander-in-chief, the distribution of troops is moderate, and the attack is orderly; As a general, take the lead and lure the enemy with your body.

There are many strategists around Yuan Shao, and they are full of strategies, if it weren't for Wenyuan's army today, it's really hard to say who will kill the deer? ”

Seeing that the battlefield was basically coming to an end, Han Cheng was also in a much more relaxed mood, and said to Li Ru:

"Captain Han is right, this matter, the main thing is that my vision is good!"

Li Ru secretly said in his heart: "Stinky and shameless, is this what I said?" ”

Since he became the long history of the General Mansion of Zhengbei, he has become more impartial.

said to Han Cheng: "Lord, Li Zhonglang, don't only have Zhang Wenyuan in your eyes."

In my opinion, in the end, instead of General Wen Yuan, this military general who led the cavalry to attack Yuan Shaozhong's army also performed very well.

He is familiar with the combat methods of cavalry, and he must be a good talent. ”

Han Cheng said to Fu Zhi: "Fu Changshi is right, this is indeed a talent. With my discernment, the captain who had just been promoted unusually named Han Hao was indeed able to control the cavalry. ”

Frustrated and Li Ru had a unified opinion in his heart: "Stinky and shameless, I don't praise you, I praise myself?" ”

said to Li Ru: "Li Zhonglang, when did the lord become so narcissistic? ”

Li Ru looked into the distance and replied softly, "It's about winter." ”

......

On the battlefield outside Handan County,

After Lu Bu and the three stopped pursuing, Zhang Liao rode back to the army and said to Han Hao: "Captain Han has performed well, after this battle, let's find a time to have a drink." ”

Zhang Liao and the generals are like brothers, and when he treats the person he likes, Zhang Liao usually has a few drinks with him.

After all, Zhang Liao once had the experience of 'spitting out the truth after drinking'.

Of course, in addition to the 'mantra', there is also the meal that I just ate.

This is the battlefield, after Zhang Liao and Han Hao finished saying kind words, they ordered without a smile:

"Han Hao, you lead three thousand men and horses to the surroundings of Yiyang County, if Yuan Shao's Jizhou army has any signs of counterattack, immediately arrange for a number of fast horses to come back and report to me.

The rest of the men quickly treated the wounded and cleaned up the battlefield. ”

At this moment, Han Cheng and others also rushed to the battlefield.

As soon as they met, Han Cheng said to the main general Zhang Liao: "In this battle, Wen Yuan did a good job."

As a commander-in-chief, the distribution of troops is moderate, and the attack is orderly; As a general, take the lead and lure the enemy with his body.

Even if there are many strategists around Yuan Shao and all kinds of strategies, it will not be difficult for my General Wenyuan, in this battle, Wenyuan has played the prestige of our Fenwu army! ”

Li Ru and Fu Zhu roared angrily in their hearts at the same time: "Do you want to be shameless? Isn't this what I just said, it has become Han Cheng's without changing it at all. My lord, it has changed. ”

Zhang Liao has always been a weak cicada wing, and said respectfully to Han Cheng: "Lord, don't praise Wen Yuan like this, Wen Yuan will be proud."

In fact, this battle, thanks to Captain Han Hao brought by the lord, his ability to control the cavalry was far above Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan only played a small role. ”

Seeing Zhang Liao's modest and cautious appearance, Han Cheng not only did not take credit for himself, but took the initiative to ask for credit for others, and praised in his heart: "This is a famous general." ”

But he said: "Wen Yuan, don't be too humble, merit is merit, and I have clear rewards and punishments for my martial arts."

I have seen your performance in the eyes, and when I return to Changshan County, I will definitely reward my merits, and no one will be able to run. ”

Zhang Liao replied with a happy face: "The soldiers and I thank the lord for the reward. ”

Han Cheng patted Zhang Liao's shoulder and said with a smile, "This is what you deserve." ”

Han Cheng turned his head and said to Fu Zhu: "Changshi, you go and tell Zhang Yan that I don't want any food for this battle, all of it will be distributed by their Black Mountain Army."

And let our military doctors quickly treat our own soldiers, and after treating our soldiers, leave two necessary military doctors in the army, and the rest of the military doctors are sent to Zhang Yan to help their soldiers and civilians treat their injuries.

Whatever you need, you can return to the Fenwu Army at any time to withdraw it. ”

After listening to Han Cheng's words, Li Ru said to Han Cheng: "The lord is not only as wise as a torch, but also clever in his means!" ”

Han Cheng said facelessly: "That's!" ”

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Han Cheng and asked, "If Zhang Yan asks me why I am like this?" How do I answer? ”

Han Cheng heard the frustrated question, and remembered what Fuyun said to him that day—if it weren't for helplessness, who would want to go into the mountains to be a thief?

Then he said: "You just say, I, Han Cheng, know his Zhang Yan's hard work, and these burdens can be regarded as a little bit of my heart." ”

An hour later, Fu Zhu took the statistics of the military Chinese officials and said to Han Cheng: "Lord Duke, in this battle, we have a total of 1,324 soldiers killed and 3,847 soldiers wounded.

Except for the more than 30 seriously injured who have not yet been out of danger, the rest have been properly treated by military doctors. ”

Han Cheng was a little sad when he heard this data. But he still comforted the frustrated: "There will be casualties in the war, and the compensation of the fallen soldiers and the resettlement of the casualties must be done well." ”

After hearing Han Cheng's words, he said: "Please rest assured, the lord has made proper arrangements for this matter, so as not to chill the soldiers." ”

Then he continued: "In this battle, our side killed more than 8,000 Yuan Shao's Jizhou troops, captured more than 4,000 people, and more than 8,000 wounded were not dealt with on the battlefield. ”

Han Cheng said to Fu Zhu, "Well, this battle is good.

All the captives were pressed back to the state; As for the casualties, send a team of men and horses to give them simple treatment first.

When the military doctor returned from Zhang Yan, he was showing the wounded soldiers. ”

Frustrated, he said, "Well, that's the only way to arrange it. Lord, did I take the military doctors to see Zhang Yan? ”

Han Cheng said, "Go ahead! When Zhang Yan asked, remember what I said, don't say anything else, Zhang Yan is a smart person and will definitely understand. ”

"No!" After a frustrated reply, he turned to leave.
