Chapter 3 Strategic Retreat
Seeing Xu Huang and Liu Zheng's heart, it was a little relaxed.
The man in front of him with a yellow turban and a yellow turban thief like Liu Zheng is none other than Xu Huang, one of the five famous generals in history, Xu Gongming!
Xu Huang in history was originally Yang Feng's cavalry captain, and later Yang Feng surrendered to Cao Cao, and Xu Huang became Cao Cao's subordinate.
And Yang Feng was just a small yellow turban thief at the beginning, and naturally, Xu Huang was also a yellow turban thief.
When Liu Zheng first came to Yang Feng's subordinates, he actually wanted to escape from this guy for a long time, for example, Yang Feng's straw bag was not the master in Liu Zheng's heart at all.
And Liu Zheng stayed under Yang Feng, and the only thought was Xu Huang.
After all, Xu Huang was the first famous general Liu Zheng saw when he came to the Three Kingdoms era, and he was also the famous general who had the most opportunity to come into contact with and become a good brother.
In the past half a month, Liu Zheng has been trying to have a good relationship with Xu Huang, but he can't be too attentive, so as not to be misunderstood by Xu Huang.
In the past half a month, Liu Zheng's courage to kill the enemy on the battlefield also made Xu Huang look at Liu Zhenggao a few times, although the two have not become friends who talk about everything, they have also become acquainted.
"Xu Huang, stop fighting, let's run!"
For the rest of his life, Liu Zheng didn't want to continue to fight against these tigers and leopards here, even if they could kill one or two tigers and leopards, it would be impossible for them to face the invasion of hundreds of tigers and leopards.
While they were fighting with the two tiger and leopard cavalry, the Yellow Turban Army around them suffered a lot of casualties again, and continuing to stay would only make the Yellow Turban soldiers here suffer more serious casualties.
Taking advantage of the fact that these yellow turban thieves were not completely dead, and they could still delay for some time, Liu Zheng still decided to escape here with Xu Huang first.
"Run? We have two legs, how can we outrun these four-legged guys, we have to fight to the death! ”
Xu Huang didn't seem to want to run, he, like Liu Zheng, was Yang Feng's personal soldier, and now that Yang Feng had begun to retreat, Xu Huang wanted to continue to stay here and fight.
First, you can kill a few more tigers and leopards, and second, you can also cover Yang Feng's retreat, which is the main duty of the pro-soldiers, which is to protect the main general.
But Liu Zheng didn't want to watch Xu Huang die here, after all, Xu Huang had the courage to die here, and if he died here, it would be too condescending.
"Alas, it's not an escape, it's a strategic retreat, Brother Xu Huang, do you understand the strategic retreat?"
"What is a strategic retreat?"
"Alas, I won't be able to explain it to you for a while, you come with me, I have a way!"
Liu Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense at all, there were many tigers and leopards riding behind him, they were in danger at all times, and taking Xu Huang's hand, Liu Zheng quickly ran towards Quyang County.
Not long after they left Quyang County, they were less than two miles away from Juyang County, and they ran all the way back to Quyang County to rely on the solidity of the city to deal with these tigers and leopards.
After all, cavalry is not good at siege!
"Into town! Enter Quyang County! ”
Liu Zheng shouted loudly while running, and the noisy screams around him, although they came and went, there were some people who ran faster and could still hear Liu Zheng's voice.
They ran around like a swarm of headless flies, and Liu Zheng's words at this time seemed to give them a life-saving straw.
All the people who ran in the front began to run in the direction of Quyang County.
In a few minutes, Liu Zheng took Xu Huang and ran to the city of Quyang County.
"Everyone, go up to the city tower and close the city gates!"
At this time, Yang Feng's guy had already disappeared, and the Yellow Turban Army present had no backbone, and no one stood up to command, Liu Zheng wanted to save his life, and when others did not stand up and act as a leading bird, he was the only one to do.
Perhaps, the surviving Yellow Turban soldiers, because Liu Zheng guided them into Quyang County, so that they saved their lives, at this time, they all ran quickly to the city tower of the county seat according to Liu Zheng's password.
"Brother Liu Zheng, there are still our brothers outside the city, now that the city gate is closed, what should those brothers do?"
There were a few people who, after receiving Liu Zheng's order, had some hesitation.
"Don't hesitate, close the city gate quickly, if you don't close the city gate, wait for Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry to rush into the city, then it will not be them who will die, it will be you!"
Liu Zheng didn't bother to explain to him at all, human life is like a mustard, and the dead Dao friends are not dead and poor, and it is difficult to protect himself, where can he manage so much.
Although Liu Zheng sympathized with the Yellow Turban Army who were running slowly and had not yet had time to enter Quyang County, Liu Zheng was unable to save them.
The creaking sound of the city gate rolling soon came from under the city.
When the city gate closed with a bang and was blocked with a huge log, Liu Zheng, who was on the city tower, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Cao finally killed the city of Quyang County, and hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry did not lose many people after experiencing the fierce battle just now.
It seems that there are still so many people. And the originally majestic Yellow Turban Army, with 7,000 people, was still able to run to this Quyang County at this time, but there were only more than 1,000 people left.
Although there were still some people who fled from all directions and did not follow Liu Zheng to this Quyang City, the number of dead and injured was definitely more than half.
Cao Cao didn't bother to clean up the battlefield, led the remaining tigers and leopards to ride, and came to Quyang City.
He was in no hurry to storm the city.
The encounter turned into a siege, which was not what Cao Cao wanted.
He originally thought that his tiger and leopard rode with the momentum of thunder and attacked this Yellow Turban Army, and he would definitely be able to defeat this gang of unarmed thieves with one blow.
But Cao Cao didn't expect that these Yellow Turban soldiers were so smart and knew how to hide in the city.
"Who's the head of you here?"
Standing under the city, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, his cold eyes swept over the city tower, and he didn't see a reason, so he had to ask.
On the tower of the city, there were more than a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers standing crowded, and everyone maintained a deathly silence at this time, perhaps they were stupid by the kind of massacre just now, or they may have not recovered from the panic.
At this time, Cao Cao's words made them look left and right, no one dared to speak at this time, their leader Xiaoqu Shuai Yang Feng had long since lost his knowledge of where he went, and no one could represent them.
Liu Zheng didn't want to stand up at this time and be this up-and-coming bird, but Xu Huang pushed his shoulder and motioned for Liu Zheng to answer Cao Cao, and Liu Zheng had no choice but to take a step forward.
"General Cao, I have heard of the name for a long time, and when I saw your tiger and leopard riding today, it was really amazing."
