Chapter 640: Yuan Shu's army is defeated
"How's it going?" Yuan Shu retreated to Zhuyi and asked impatiently.
Yuan Jian said: "Lord, Wang Xiu did not fight back, and the other Xuzhou troops only reoccupied Pengcheng and Liangcheng in the north of Xiapi State, and the others are all relieving the disaster and exterminating locusts, so for the time being, we may maintain relative stability with the Xuzhou side." ”
Before the locust plague passed, Yuan Jian estimated that Xuzhou would not want to fight with them.
Dealing with this natural disaster is the most important thing at the moment.
Even if Runan is a big county or a rich county, it can't withstand such a toss.
"It's really cheap, Xu Ding!" Yuan Shu suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, how could a good situation suddenly become like this.
Heaven was too unkind to him.
Picked up the newspaper and read it again, and Yuan Shu threw it on the ground.
If the sudden locust plague helped Wang Xiu and Xuzhou, then the matter of the princess of Wannian would be too disgusting.
Xu Ding's wife Gong Shang turned out to be Liu Ying, the princess of Wannian.
Xu Ding turned into a colt again, and became the brother-in-law of today's son, Emperor Liu Xie.
This is a deliberate trick.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to accept this fact.
But there was no doubt about it.
Although things can be said nonsense, Xu Ding will definitely not dare to make up this kind of thing.
Yuan Lian's face also showed a bitter color.
As soon as the princess of Wannian came out, any alliance and any hidden jade seal would be self-defeating, and she also slapped the five princes by the way.
Everyone in the world is watching the joke.
Of course, the bad news is not only this, but soon Yuan Shu received even worse news, Xu Ding defeated Cao Cao and took half of Yanzhou, and then the fifth lieutenant of his department was appointed as the city state, and then quietly reinforced to Yuqiu City, and rushed to Xiangli City, the county capital of Peiguo.
Xiangli Castle is on the left flank of Zhuyi, and once it crosses the river, it is possible to outflank and attack the rear of Zhuyi.
This is a great threat to Yuan Shu's army.
Yuan Lian had to make new strategic adjustments to deal with the possible counterattack of Wang Xiu and others.
However, the next day or two was peaceful, and the Fifth Lieutenant Army did not cross Suishui and was stuck in Xiangli City.
Yuan Jian still felt that the possibility of Wang Xiu and the others fighting back against Wu at this time was still a little smaller.
"Report! The lord's big thing was not good, and the sixth lieutenant of Xu Ding's department rode across the border from Shanyang County, attacked Liang State first and then Chen Attack, and rushed to Ruyang City. ”
"What?" Yuan Shu was shocked, and after asking clearly, he hurriedly said: "Someone come, order all the generals to withdraw from Xuzhou and rush back to Runan for me." ”
The hometown is about to be kicked away by Xu Ding.
How can Yuan Shu not be in a hurry, this is really in a hurry and is about to burst his liver.
At this time, Yuan Shu didn't think about anything, it would be good to be able to keep Yuzhou.
Yuan Shu's army received an order to hurry back to aid Runan.
He took the first step with an army of 50,000, and the others followed.
The father of the city under the river gathers in the city!
"Report, general, the main force of Yuan Shu is approaching, and Yijing is erecting a pontoon bridge, are we going to fight?" The Sixth Captain's Expedition returns.
Zhao Yun asked, "How much is Yuan Shu around, and how many are behind?" ”
"General, Yuan Shu personally commanded 50,000 people first, and there were still 70,000 or 80,000 horses in the rear..."
After hearing this, the other commanders and generals all said: "General, let's fight, Yuan Shu's follow-up soldiers are a little far, just to intercept Yuan Shu." ”
Shoot people first and shoot horses, capture thieves and capture kings first, and if you want to fight, you will hit Yuan Shu himself.
So the generals were excited.
However, Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu's 50,000 must be the strongest and best in the army, and there must be a lot of old soldiers, so we will fight the troops behind." Let Yuan Shu pass. ”
"But general, that's Yuan Shu!" The general who did not understand said urgently.
Zhao Yun returned calmly: "It doesn't matter, Yuan Shu can kill whenever he wants, now we haven't swallowed Yuzhou, if we really kill Yuan Shu, who do you think is the most beneficial." ”
Xu Ding's task was not to kill Yuan Shu, but to severely damage Yuan Shu at the lowest cost, to fear him, and to cripple his troops.
made him powerless to look eastward, so that he no longer dared to covet Xuzhou.
Therefore, the goal this time is still to eliminate Yuan Shu's living force.
Therefore, Zhao Yun did not choose Yuan Shu's 50,000 army to hit hard.
Because even if he can win, he will lose a lot, and if he kills Yuan Shu, it will be really self-defeating.
ruined the promised plan.
Therefore, Yuan Shu took the 50,000 army and crossed the water, and then rushed to the direction of Xinyang in the Song Kingdom.
Yuan Shu's hand Yuan Lian was responsible for gathering other armies, and after the integration, the brigade rushed to the Huishui River, because Yuan Shu and others crossed the river safely, Yuan Lian and other generals were a little careless, so they also explored the surrounding situation, and the army crossed the river in turn along the two pontoon bridges that Yuan Shu had taken before.
They never imagined that when they had passed 20,000 to 30,000 horses, suddenly, two iron horsemen rushed out from the left and right, rolling towards the army that had just crossed the river and had not yet gained a firm foothold.
The ground rumbled as the Iron Rider trampled on it, and the ground shook incessantly.
By the time Yuan Shu's army found out that the two iron horsemen were coming, it was too late.
No one thought that there would be Qingzhou's iron cavalry in the hinterland of Runan County.
And they were in ambush in the place where their lord had just crossed the river to the west.
After all, the city of the Lower City Father Jucheng was still in the hands of Yuan Jun, and the city was not disturbed.
Qingzhou's iron cavalry dared to play a sneak attack under his nose.
The courage is also boundless.
"Quick, sword and shield soldier! Sword and shield soldiers! Spearmen, spearmen, archers, where are the archers......"
The 30,000 Yuan troops who crossed the river could not find a general for a while, and they could not find a soldier, so they were in a mess, and there was no one to control the dispatch at all.
Where can a defense be built in a hurry.
Not only did there be no defense, but on the contrary, the soldiers of the sixth lieutenant opened their bows one after another, and the bows and arrows began to shoot out earlier.
Arrows flew like rain, shooting the dense Yuan army into pieces and falling to wail.
"Kill!"
The iron cavalry passed, and the Yuan army was knocked into the air by the impact, or trampled to death.
The two cavalry teams were like two sickles, one from the left and the other from the right, killing the chaotic Yuan army to cut melons and vegetables.
The two scythes cut at each other, swinging the weapon of the Grim Reaper.
There is no restraint and no one can stop them, and they have no intention of fighting, so they naturally run away and scatter more.
Fortunately, those who were close to the river simply ran back to the east bank along the pontoon bridge, or jumped into the water and swam over.
Either they fled to the city father, trying to get the guards to open the door and let them in, and the sixth lieutenant army was divided, and a small team of 500 men and horses of the deputy lieutenant was scattered into twelve scattered chasing and slashing back and forth.
After all, at this time, the 30,000 Yuan army was defeated, and there was no need for large cavalry to break the formation, and they only needed to chase and kill from the back to reap the full harvest.
Of course, maintaining a squadron of 500 people was also afraid that Yuan Shu's subordinates would have the ability to suddenly gather a group of stragglers to fight to the death.
However, it is almost impossible for such a thing to happen, Yuan Shu's generals are brave except for Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, and the others are Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le are still loyal and brave.
However, among the four people, Liang Gang and Le died in battle.
Li Feng followed Yuan Shu, and Qiao Rui guarded Ruyang.
Therefore, there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the West Bank, and there is no one who dares to fight. After all, Yuan Lian, who was in charge of this army, was still on the east bank and had not crossed the river.
Therefore, the 30,000-strong army was appointed as the sixth lieutenant to cut and kill, like a rabbit and a chicken.
"Commander, are we going to cross the river? There is no one in charge of the overall situation in the Western World, and the people who gather in the city do not dare to open the city to release people to save people, and we can't watch the cavalry of Qingzhou wipe out our 30,000 troops so easily. Someone asked Yuan Jian with eyes in his eyes.
