Chapter 213: Attack in advance
Xu Rong rushed out, feeling a little relieved.
The people who robbed their grain transport team before, and the people who ambushed their soldiers, now it seems that Zhang Ming did it.
Xu Rong led people away quickly.
Guan Yu and they also came out of the ambush place, and this time they captured a lot of war horses, and they set up a sign and tied the war horses to the tree.
Guan Yu believes that Sun Jian will not rob them of their things, and if others dare, they will be looking for death.
After that, Guan Yu immediately started the pursuit from the path.
From the path, you can't catch up, but if someone intercepts in front, you can catch up.
Xu Rong was more careful all the way and sent people to explore the surroundings.
After dark, everyone rested, Xu Rong and them rested, and the pursuers also rested.
When a new day came, Xu Rong sent people to investigate day and night, reporting back and forth.
Tiger Prison Pass, Hua Xiong has sent a force of soldiers and horses to support them.
A new day has arrived.
Xu Rong and the others ate before dawn, and they began to hurry at dawn.
Keep running.
"Report, general, there may be an ambush ahead."
Xu Rong knew what was in front of him, and it was indeed suitable for an ambush.
Several lieutenant generals surrounded him and said, "General, this should be Zhang Ming's soldiers and horses, they detoured to our front, I don't know how many people there are." ”
Xu Rong groaned, the situation in front was unknown, but there were pursuers behind.
"Let the vanguard stop and prepare to come back to help, Vice General Li, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to pass first."
"If you are ambushed, form a formation to resist on the spot, and we will find an opportunity to rescue."
Xu Rong thought of a way, if there is really an ambush, there is no need to be afraid.
The lieutenant will strike immediately.
The ambush was Zhang Fei, who brought 3,000 men.
"Grandma Xiong, I really let the eldest brother say it, the enemy will definitely find them."
Zhang Fei said depressedly, but immediately ordered to prepare for work.
Not long after, Vice General Li came, not fast or slow, on guard.
When they entered the ambush circle, Zhang Fei roared.
"Kill."
Zhang Fei shouted, and the arrows began to attack.
Arrows rained down on both sides and began to attack.
After two rounds of arrows, Zhang Fei led his men to rush out and kill the enemy.
The Liaodong Army is very fierce, and Zhang Fei is also fierce.
After killing, attack violently.
Zhang Fei swept across the area, and there was no one to join in.
The Liaodong Army, seeing death as home, will give an order, and will be fearless in the impact.
In the distance, Xu Rong saw all this.
"What a tiger army."
Xu Rong sighed that this army is very fierce.
Another lieutenant general said, "General, are we going to kill it?" ”
Xu Rong was not in a hurry and continued to observe.
Half an hour later, the two sides were still fighting, and Zhang Fei was already covered in blood.
"Report to the general, no other ambushes have been found."
Xu Rong was cautious, he always felt that it was not so simple, and he was relieved a lot when he heard the report of the soldiers who went to investigate.
"All the troops are killed."
Xu Rong personally led the army to kill.
Zhang Fei immediately led his troops to slowly retreat.
In this way, it became Xu Rong attacking and Zhang Fei defending.
Zhang Fei led the people to resist step by step, fighting and retreating.
Half an hour later, Zhang Fei simply ran and ran forward.
Xu Rong asked the army to stop and froze in place.
Is there a war like this?
Xu Rong couldn't understand their routine at all.
Xu Rong first ordered the army to rest in place and rearrange the formation.
In this battle, Xu Rong's army was ambushed and lost more than 2,000 people, but Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses lost a lot of money, with a loss of 1,000 people, and the team was greatly reduced.
"General, is there an ambush ahead?" An adjutant general asked Xu Rong and said.
"Maybe it's to slow us down and create an opportunity for the pursuers behind."
Xu Rong and the others knew that there was still a chasing army behind them.
After finishing for about half an hour, Xu Rong continued to order forward.
Ahead, Zhang Fei ran for half an hour, and then stopped to set up defenses, and they intercepted them on the main road.
Xu Rong knew that he sent three thousand fronts to attack.
When Zhang Fei saw the enemy coming, he immediately ran.
The Xiliang army suspected fraud and did not dare to pursue.
This three times made the Xiliang army confused.
An adjutant general scolded and said: "General, this person is so shameless that he does not dare to engage us, he must want to slow us down and let the rear army catch up." ”
Xu Rong also thinks that it is just to drag them down.
"Continuing the front army, I have asked the Tiger Prison Pass to send troops to help, maybe I can hit them hard."
Either way, we have to get back to Tiger Prison sooner.
Xu Huang and they continued to move forward.
Zhang Fei intercepted them two more times, and then disappeared directly.
At this time, Xu Huang in the rear pursued all the way and was already very close.
Zhang Fei withdrew from the path, letting Xu Rong and them pass, and then appeared behind them and pursued behind them.
As soon as Xu Huang arrived, the two armies joined forces again and pursued together.
At this time, Zhang Ming and Zhao Yun had been in ambush in front of them for a long time, and the news was constantly being summarized.
Zhao Yun was a little nervous.
"Big brother, will this Xu Rong be fooled?"
"Xu Rong is a famous general in Xiliang, he has been famous for a long time, and it is difficult to deal with, so we choose a place that is not easy to ambush."
Zhang Ming doesn't know if he can succeed, it's good to be successful, but if he doesn't, he won't succeed.
In fact, this is not an ambush, just an interception.
On a large area of flat land, intercept Xu Rong's army.
This ambush is different from other ambushes, which take advantage of the terrain.
And Zhang Ming just wanted to fight Xu Rong's army head-on.
Xu Rong became very careful, and when he was moving all the way, his speed was very slow, and after passing some levels and dangerous places, he had to let the scouts investigate clearly before acting.
In this way, the speed is naturally a lot slower.
After another day, Xu Rong was not attacked, but the pursuers behind him chased very closely.
When Zhang Fei and Xu Huang were chasing, they always tried to control their speed and keep a certain distance.
But the next day, Xu Rong joined forces with the forward, and Xu Rong arranged a group of soldiers and horses to intercept the pursuers on the road.
They formed a tight formation.
Xu Huang and Zhang Fei rushed into battle several times, but they couldn't rush over.
"General Yide, this can't be rushed."
"My eldest brother had expected that we would not rush into battle, entangle this army, and not let them leave, and it would be worth eating these thousands of people."
Zhang Ming had already imagined such a problem, so Zhang Fei knew what to do.
So, Zhang Fei and Xu Huang took turns to rush into battle and didn't let them leave.
The rear army was entangled, and when Xu Rong knew about it, he immediately knew that it was not good.
However, he can't come back to help, who knows if there are any pursuers behind.
However, Xu Rong was not very worried, because the reinforcements from the Tiger Prison Pass were not far away.
In the battle of Xingyang, Xu Rong had a great advantage, which made Sun Jian repeatedly frustrated.
However, when Xu Rong was retreating, he was entangled by Zhang Ming, and the loss was quite large.
Zhang Ming had been preparing for several days, just waiting for Xu Rong to arrive.
It's just that there is a slight situation.
The spies came to report that the Tiger Prison Pass had sent troops.
10,000 cavalry came to support Xu Rong.
That's a big problem.
After receiving the news, Zhang Ming decided to make a move in advance and take the initiative.
"Move in the direction of Xu Rong and have a hard time." Zhang Ming ordered.
