Chapter 37: Ambush
Wen Chou and Gao Cheng fought directly together, their strength was almost the same, and they were not sure to take each other down for a while.
So all of a sudden, there was a stalemate.
The generals are evenly matched, but when it comes to their own men, the situation is very different.
On the one hand, there are bandits who only know how to kill civilians and have no experience in combat.
On the one hand, there are well-trained and experienced veterans.
The gap between the two can be difficult to understand.
So take a more direct and violent approach – fighting.
This group of bandits had only killed unarmed civilians on weekdays, and there were guards who had no combat experience, how could they compare to Xue Yun's elite troops?
So from the very beginning of the battle, there was a one-sided situation in the form of the battlefield.
The bandits were beaten without the power to resist, and all this was seen by Xue Yun and others.
When the others saw that their troops were rejoicing because of their overwhelming superiority, Xue Yun's face was surprisingly calm, and there was even a hint of solemnity.
He saw that elevation could sit in the third place in the alliance, he should not be a stupid person with developed limbs and a simple mind, he should be able to see the difference between the enemy and the enemy.
These bandits, although they are all outlaws, eat with their heads hanging on their waists.
But they are not fools and will not come out with an egg hitting a stone.
And when they know that once they encounter a difficult bone, they will leave without saying a word, and they will not continue to joke with their lives.
But now these bandits are a little bit inconsistent with their style of dealing with the world.
Now they are more like an army, although the discipline, quality, and equipment of this army are the worst, but they do not see that the situation is not good, turn around and run.
And not to run away, this is a discipline that only a military can have, and it should not appear in a gang of bandits.
Even in this day and age, this discipline is a non-existent thing.
Every time there is a battle, there will be deserters, demoted generals.
Instead of the determination of soldiers to die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud.
Although the development of this battlefield is very good, the alliance has a large number of people, and it is impossible to win the war for a while.
Xue Yun said to the soldiers beside him, "You should be vigilant and be careful... ”
Xue Yun didn't let all the soldiers go out, and left two hundred people as a reserve. One is to protect the safety of Xue Yun and others, and the other is to go into battle when the battle is unfavorable and act as reinforcements.
It's just that before Xue Yun's words were finished, he saw a large figure running in the distance, and the number of people was definitely more than the people in Elevation.
Xue Yun knew in his heart that it was broken, it must be another army of the alliance.
Because there is no big road in that direction, and this is considered a rear, it is impossible for the army of the Yellow Turban Army to appear, so naturally it will not be other princes who bring their few troops here to hang out.
As for whether it will be Cao Cao and the three of them?
Xue Yun thought it was impossible, because the direction was different, and if they came, they would choose to take the avenue instead of this sneaky approach.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun hurriedly asked people to blow the horn of retreat, intending to let Wen Chou and them retreat.
It's a pity that it's too late, Wen Chou wants to withdraw, but he has been entangled by elevation.
Although Wen Chou slowly gained the upper hand in the battle between them, he was still not sure to kill him and return to his lord's side.
And the soldiers he brought, although they were like bamboos and killed in the middle of this group of bandits, they were also surrounded by bandits, and they couldn't break out of the encirclement for a while.
And the two hundred soldiers on Xue Yun's side were ready to fight, but he sent all the generals around him to deal with Gao Cheng, and there was not a single general around him.
Although the Yuan Shao chosen by Xue Yun knows some kung fu, he is not the kind of opponent who can recruit good generals at all.
In the end, that mysterious force appeared in front of Xue Yun, it was the ambush soldiers of the alliance hiding in the shadows, just waiting for the troops around Yuan Shao to be empty, and they would come out to attack Yuan Shao again.
When the rich people saw the leader, they were immediately frightened.
The shock was bigger than seeing the elevation.
Xue Yun knew that the man with a double hammer in his hand, who was obese, and seemed to be able to press the horse he was riding on the ground at any time, was the second leader of the alliance, Shen Jian, known as the "hungry wolf".
Even Xue Yun knew a thing or two about his reputation, not because of how powerful he was or how smart he was.
It's because he's cruel enough, and compared to his kind of cruelty, Gao Cheng's approach is "living bodhisattva".
He has a special hobby - he likes to eat meat.
But this meat is not the meat of pigs, horses, cows and sheep, but living people.
I heard that Shen Jian once stayed in the Wild Tribe, where people drank blood and ate human flesh.
Shen Jian also brought this "special habit" to civilized society.
The only difference is that he used to eat raw meat, but now he eats cooked meat.
This reminded Xue Yun of Zhu Cang, the "cannibal king" of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
There are also known as the darkest "Wuhu Chaohua" of the Chinese nation, and they all treat people as rations.
Shen Jian smiled and said to Xue Yun, "Yuan Shao, Gao Cheng and I have discussed it, and we plan to let you pass, we don't want to get along with a big prince like you." But I look at your actions, it seems that you didn't agree? How's that, do you regret it now? ”
Xue Yun didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
"Actually, you don't have to be too desperate, I can give you a chance." After Shen Jian's words were finished, those rich people also had a riot.
They never thought that there would be such an ambush, so they believed that Yuan Shao (everyone in the story took Xue Yun as Yuan Shao) would go to war.
But now that this ambush has appeared, these rich people don't know if Yuan Shao will abandon them.
In fact, even if Yuan Shao left now, these people didn't dare to say anything?
Because they didn't know Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao dared to go to war with the alliance for them before, they were already very grateful.
If Yuan Shao is still allowed to protect them, and even lose his life, it is indeed difficult for some strong people.
So these rich people are more just sighing, complaining that their lives are not good, and they are born in such a troubled era.
"How? You can also leave with your people, my target is only them. ”
Shen Jian stated his conditions.
Xue Yun looked at the rich people behind him who were already full of despair.
Turning around, he said to Shen Jian with a smile on his face, "Your condition is very tempting, and it seems unlikely that I will refuse." It's just that I still want to ask, is it interesting? ”
The smile on Shen Jian's face disappeared, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xue Yun smiled, "Didn't you guys come for me to engage in such a big battle this time?" ”
After hearing Xue Yun's words, Shen Jian laughed and said, "Haha! Yes, you guessed it! ”
