Chapter 967: Falling short
The book is picked up again.
Li Zhisheng was afraid that Zhang Yan would run away, so he gritted his teeth and waved his hand violently, "Release!" ”
Originally, after he realized this great opportunity, he wanted to capture Zhang Yansheng alive.
However, in the current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve this goal.
Since Zhang Yansheng can't be captured alive, then he can't be allowed to run back!
That's why Li Zhicai issued a kill order!
"Click!" After hearing Li Zhi's order, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately cut the rope.
"Buzzing ......" Another terrifying wind sounded again, and countless stones rushed quickly in the direction of Zhang Yan.
"Da da da......" Zhang Yan gritted his teeth, held his sword, and ran frantically towards his troops as if he hadn't heard the voice above him.
Zhang Yan is gambling, he bets that his luck is not so bad!
Because he was already far away from the direction of the valley at this time, these stones were already at the end of his crossbow, and he could not even fly here.
"Bang bang bang bang......" There was a fierce sound, and the stones thrown by the stone thrower finally fell to the ground.
"......" But after seeing the results, Li Zhi was silent.
Because these flying stones seemed to be deliberately avoiding Zhang Yan, even if they flew to Zhang Yan's side, they didn't cause any damage to him!
Zhang Yan was still limping forward at this time, running quickly, leaving an obvious blood mark.
"Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan, I really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!" Li Zhi looked at Zhang Yan, who had been bleeding all the time, sighed, and muttered in his heart.
To be honest, if Zhang Yan hadn't made a quick decision and cut off one of his legs, he would have been captured alive at this time.
But the reality has no ifs, running is running!
Zhang Yan's "ruthlessness" saved his life!
......At this time, Xiahou Dun saw that Zhang Yan was getting closer and closer to his guards, and he was unwilling, and frantically rushed the horse's buttocks, hoping to be faster.
"Da ......" However, the truth disappointed him, just when he was about to come to Zhang Yan's side, Zhang Yan had already jumped into his own team with a big jump.
"Lord!!" When Zhang Yan's head of the guards saw Zhang Yan covered in blood, he shouted with horror on his face.
"Let's go !!" Zhang Yan shouted after returning to his military formation.
To be honest, Zhang Yan can endure severe pain, and he can still run fast despite losing so much blood, which has already used all his potential.
Now that he was back in his army, he was so angry that he couldn't hold back anymore and fainted.
"The front army is lined up, and the rear army protects the lord and retreats!" Zhang Yan, the leader of Zhang Yan's guards, fainted, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately divided into one
Dividing people to block Xiahoudun, he personally took Zhang Yan and ran frantically towards the rear army.
Because only in the rear army can there be healers!
"Woo ......" Xiahou Dun saw that Zhang Yan had returned to his army, and immediately stopped his war horse.
Because there were only a dozen people on this trip, they were no match for the enemy at all.
Then, after waving his horsewhip irritably, he said fiercely: "Hate! It turned out to be a step too late! ”
"Withdraw!" Xiahou Dun was also a decisive man, and after remorseful for a while, he looked at the situation and immediately led the people to retreat in the direction of the valley.
Because he knows that he is no match for these people on the other side.
This means that the enemy did not react, and Zhang Yan's main general passed out.
Otherwise, the enemy would have been able to keep them here with a few thousand men!
Therefore, Xiahou Dun hurriedly retreated while these people had not yet reacted.
"Da ......" Just after Xiahou Dun ran away, Zhang Yan's army did not pursue, because the most important thing now was to save Zhang Yan and not kill the enemy.
"Alas......" Li Zhi, who was standing in the valley, saw that Zhang Yan had returned to his army, closed his eyes in pain, and let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that this is a great opportunity!" ”
"It's a pity that this is a great time!" Xiahou Dun, who had just run back to the valley, also expressed the same emotion.
At this time, he regretted it very much, if he didn't hesitate to set off after hearing Yang Ying's order just now, then maybe he would have really caught Zhang Yan back.
However, just because he had an extra mouth, he wasted a little time, so that he fell short.
Now Xiahou Dun can't wait to travel through time and space and slap the original mouthy Xiahou Dun to death!
"That's it!" After regretting it for a while, Xiahou Dun let out a long sigh, "I'm lucky to get it, but I'm sorry to lose my life, don't force it!" ”
With that, he walked dejectedly towards the top of the valley.
He was going to ask Li Zhi for his guilt, because no matter what he said, it was because of him that he wasted this great opportunity.
After Xiahou Dun came to the top of the valley, he saw Li Zhizheng looking into the distance with a melancholy face, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xiahou Dun knew that Li Zhi was sad, so he stepped forward gently, bowed slightly, and whispered: "My subordinates have failed the hussar general's trust, and I also ask the hussar general to forgive me." ”
"It's okay......" After Li Zhi, who was in a daze, heard Xiahou Dun's words, he immediately came back to his senses, waved his hand and said: "It's no wonder that you are in this matter, even if Benhou is in your position, he will not do better than you, you don't have to feel guilty."
Moreover, I didn't gain anything this time, didn't you see that Zhang Yan was already missing a leg?
As a military general, if he lacks a retreat, it will inevitably deal a big blow to him!
He might be at that
Depressed, slumped! ”
After Li Zhi said these words, he smiled bitterly, even he didn't believe what he said.
The reason why he said this was just to comfort Xiahoudun.
Li Zhi knew that after Zhang Yan was missing a leg, not only would he not be depressed, but he hated him even more!
After Zhang Yan recovers from his injuries, he will definitely send troops to attack the valley as soon as possible!
When the time comes, it will be a never-ending battle!
Xiahou Dun also knew that Li Zhi was comforting him, and he didn't take Li Zhi's words seriously, and after smiling bitterly, he said: "The hussar general doesn't need to comfort his subordinates, his subordinates know that this time is indeed the fault of his subordinates."
If it weren't for the delay of his subordinates, maybe Zhang Yan would have been captured alive!
Moreover, after Zhang Yan recovers from her injury, she will definitely wait with me endlessly! ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Zhi and said inexplicably: "Hussar General, shouldn't I have made plans earlier?" ”
"Huh?" After Li Zhi heard Xiahou Dun's words, he didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Ready?" What to prepare?
There are so many of us, even if we are preparing more stone throwers, no one will operate them, at most we will prepare some stones, and there is nothing else to do. ”
"That's not what the subordinates said!" After Xia Houdun heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately shook his head, and said with a serious face: "My subordinates are saying, did we take advantage of Zhang Yan's injury to escape?" ”
"This ......" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.
He thought about it and found that although Xiahou Dun's method was a trick, it was also a clever strategy.
Now, Wang Gouzi is gone, and it is difficult for them to provoke a war between Zhang Yan and Wang Gouzi and others.
In other words, their mission here is basically a failure!
Even if they stayed here, it would only increase the casualties, and it would not help at all.
Therefore, it is better to flee now.
After thinking of this, Li Zhi came back to his senses and was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something, immediately shook his head, and said, "No! I can't leave yet! ”
"Why?!" Xiahou Dun immediately became anxious after hearing Li Zhi's refusal, "It's not the time for the hussar general to be rash now, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a defeat is not a big deal at all."
Besides, we were not a defeat this time, and we were able to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops with a force of 2,000 men and inflict great damage on the enemy.
Even one of Zhang Yan's legs was left!
This kind of record can already be called brilliant!
Even if I retreat now, others won't be able to say anything! ”
Xiahou Dun thought that Li Zhi couldn't save face, so he tried his best to persuade him.
