Chapter 274: Withdrawal of troops to Jiangdong
Seeing that the army under his command was close to rout, and Gao Shun's trapped camp looked like he had a lot of strength left, Xiahou's face was ugly.
"Yuan Rang, let's withdraw!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Chun rushed to Xiahou's side and dissuaded.
"No withdrawal!" Xiahou yelled, turning his head to look at Cao Chun: "Zihe, if you lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to charge again, I don't believe that this iron turtle can't be defeated!" ”
Just between the words of the two, many of the soldiers under Xiahou's command had already begun to break and flee, and gradually showed a trend of bursting the embankment. At the same time, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance.
"Yuan Rang, withdraw! Enemy reinforcements are coming! Seeing this, Cao Chun shouted anxiously.
"I won't withdraw! Cao Zihe, I order you to lead the army to charge! "Xiahou is already red-eyed at this time, and he has the intention of going into battle in person and fighting desperately on the other side!
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Chun stared at Xia Hou and said in a low voice.
"The enemy is outmassed! We have to withdraw! ”
However, at this time, Xiahou had fallen into madness, and he couldn't listen to these words at all, and as soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, he was ready to ride his horse to the battlefield.
"Bump!"
Seeing that the words didn't work, Cao Chun directly took advantage of Xiahou's unpreparedness to slash at the back of Xiahou's neck with a knife and stunned him.
"The whole army retreats!"
Cao Chun shouted.
Seeing this, the soldiers under Xiahou's command were defeated by the last trace of defense in their hearts, and they retreated back one by one in a panic.
Gao Shun saw this and did not pursue. Although the marching speed of the trapped camp under his command was not slow, it was still a little reluctant to catch up with these defeated troops who had lost their armor.
Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rode around, and Gao Shun was reluctant to make any extraneous branches. His trip was to rescue Zhang Liao, Wen Ping and others, and he slaughtered more than 10,000 troops and hundreds of tigers and leopards, which was already a lot of gains, and there was no need to entangle for such a little miscellaneous soldiers.
Seeing that Gao Shun completely ignored them, he turned around and left with the neat formation of the trapped camp under his command. While Cao Chun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he also secretly vowed to go back and work hard to train and perfect the tiger and leopard riding, and find Gao Shun again in the future!
Before meeting Gao Shun, Cao Chun thought that the tiger and leopard riders under his command were the strongest elite in the world. After all, in the north, where rivers are scarce, the cavalry is far more powerful than the foot soldiers and archers. And among the cavalry, there are only a few elite legions.
Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army is now in the hands of Li Yu and Guo Yan, who are eating and waiting for death, which can be regarded as a pearl secret investment, and Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong was destroyed by Yuan Shao, and the entire Central Plains is the world where they ride tigers and leopards.
However, today's battle is like drinking a stick in the head, waking Cao Chun up. He underestimated the princes of the world too much!
The trapped camp under Gao Shun has such power, so if he bumps into the first dead soldier who is known as the nemesis of the cavalry, will he not even have scum left now?
In the final analysis, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is only composed of elites selected from Cao Cao's army, which of the other princes can't form such an army? Whether it is Yuan Shao's halberd warrior or Liu Bei's white elite soldiers, which one is not the elite of the elite?
Yang Xiu held the reins in his left hand and drove the horse forward slowly, holding the reins of the other horse with his right hand, and immediately lay the weak Fa Zheng.
"Senior brother, now you can rest assured! I said a long time ago that General Gao Shun is no problem alone. Looking at the army of trapped camps that came slowly and almost unscathed, as well as the indifferent figure, Yang Xiu said easily.
Hearing this, Fa Zheng's eyes closed and he fell directly into a coma. Yang Xiu didn't hear a response for a long time, turned his face sideways, and suddenly said speechlessly: "This can't bear it?" It's really fragile, it seems that I have to let Jia Shi exercise more to train you when I go back,"
Yang Xiu can be said to be very disdainful of Fa Zheng's delicate spiritual power, which fell into a coma after only using the secret method for half an hour.
If he had been replaced, the headache would have eased for a while at most. He has experienced countless blows, and the amount of his spiritual power is indeed much inferior to Fa Zheng, but when it comes to toughness, he is much stronger than Fa Zheng.
Under Jia Xu's training, he was at full load every day, and his mental strength was always in a state of overdraft, and as a result, he got used to it when he was overdrawn.
"General Gao Shun, hard work." Yang Xiu looked at the general with an ordinary face in front of him and said with a little respect.
He knew how terrifying this seemingly ordinary man was, even if his heart was as rebellious as he was for Gao Shun.
"Serving the Lord, how hard is it? Hyozhi is okay, right? Gao Shun said calmly.
"It's okay, when the senior brother saw that the general was fine, he let go of the worries in his heart and fell asleep under the relaxation of his spirit." Yang Xiu said with a smile.
"Since Xiaozhi is fine, then let's go back quickly! Wen Yuan's injuries are quite serious, and he urgently needs Mr. Zhong Jing's diagnosis and treatment, so he cannot be delayed. Gao Shun said anxiously.
"Alright, then let's retreat. The land of Jiangbei will be handed over to Liu Xuande for the time being, and I will wait for Yizhou to stabilize and then come back to get it back. ”
......
Jinling.
"My lord, Wen Yuan, they have escaped the predicament. However, the damage was quite heavy, and only about 10,000 of the 60,000 troops remained. Xun You quickly got the news and reported to Yuan Shu.
"How are Wenyuan and Xiaozhi doing?" Yuan Shu didn't care about the loss of the soldiers, and asked directly.
"Wen Yuan was seriously injured, but his life was safe, with Zhongjing's medical skills, he should be able to go to the battlefield again after two months of recuperation. And filial piety is only a minor injury, and it will be fine to recuperate for two days. ”
Yuan Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine." This battle is really difficult, I didn't expect Wen Yuan to be so seriously injured! ”
Jia Xu sighed and said, "Indeed, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande's behavior this time is too decisive and ruthless. If Cao Cao had a little dissent, I am afraid that Yuzhou would have been overturned by now, and Liu Xuande would really have a big heart. ”
Xun You said: "Forced by the situation, Liu Xuande must be sure enough that Cao Mengde will not dare to make a move." But Wenhe, how did they find out about you and Li Ru? With your wisdom, there should be nothing to be said about doing such a thing. ”
Hearing this, Jia Xu said lightly: "We really didn't show anything at the beginning. But my existence is not too secret to those of the great family. As long as they investigate carefully, they should know that I only came out of Chang'an when Li Ru died, and if I think about it a little, I may be able to guess some of the secrets. ”
Xun You said: "I also know this, but I don't understand, you haven't shown much resourcefulness since you came, and your sense of existence is as low as mine, how did they target you?" ”
Jia Xu looked at Xun You with a slightly strange expression: "I think I should ask you about this matter." ”
Yuan Shu and Xun You looked strange, and the second monk couldn't figure it out: "What do you mean?" ”
Jia Xu sighed: "I have carefully investigated, and there is only one strategist under Liu Bei who has contact with Cao Cao and has left Yuzhou, Xun Yue. And Xun is Cao Cao's most trusted strategist. ”
Xun You is a person who can see through at one point, and his face instantly became gloomy: "Wen He, I'm afraid what you said is right, this matter is really related to Xun Yue." ”
Yuan Shu also understood, and looked at Xun You helplessly: "I said Gongda, I didn't provoke this uncle of yours much!" As for it? stared at me so closely, even Wen and such a personal secretary investigated it clearly. ”
Xun You explained: "The lord doesn't know, my uncle's thoughts are similar to yours, they are all about suppressing the family and inhibiting land annexation. I am afraid that he pays so much attention to you because he admires you very much. ”
"Oh?" Yuan Shu was pleasantly surprised: "There are still such talents? Gongda, since this uncle of yours has the same idea as mine, I don't know if it can be used by me? ”
Yuan Shu never has too many talents, and after unifying the south, the territory is so big, even a few more strategists will not be satisfied.
Xun You's face was slightly embarrassed: "I've disappointed the lord, I'm afraid this matter can't be." This clan uncle of mine is very virtuous, as long as Liu Bei does not die and does not do anything angry and resentful, I am afraid that this clan uncle of mine will not choose another master. ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he was slightly disappointed, and looked at Xun Yu who hated iron and steel: "Why are your Xun family so brainless?" Can't you see who is the master? If you don't hold your thick thighs like mine, you have to go to Liu Bei, the straw sandals seller! ”
