Chapter 63: Wen Hou is unharmed
Escaped, Bao Xin's heart also has a lot of emotion, if there is such an elite cavalry under his command, why can't he have a greater job on the battlefield, as long as he returns to Peixian this time, he can't easily lead the army to battle, Xuzhou Bureau You are too cunning, two shots, both ended in the defeat of the Yanzhou army, which can already explain a lot of problems.
The war of the army is unfavorable, and the successive defeats will have a great impact on the entire army, Bao Xin asked himself to have a certain status in Yanzhou, but Liu Dai pursued the defeat of the army, and he could not escape the blame.
Just half an hour after Bao Xin led the army to raid Xuzhou, a group of foot soldiers came outside the city, the armor on these soldiers was somewhat damaged, and even many soldiers had blood stains on their faces.
After some interrogation, the general guarding the city did not doubt him, and directly opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city.
About halfway through the city gate, the defeated army, which had fled back to Pei County in a sluggish manner, suddenly attacked and pointed the butcher's knife at the soldiers guarding the city gate, and the defenders were caught off guard, and the defenders were in chaos.
At the gate of Peixian County, after the shouting and killing suddenly sounded, it quickly calmed down, and Lu Bu led a team of cavalry into Peixian County.
This time's strategy was also from Jia Xu's hands, and in the short period of time when the vanguard army went into battle, he made so many responses, which is enough to see how powerful Jia Xu's resourcefulness is.
In front of Jia Xu's resourcefulness, Liu Dai was like a child, and he could only play for Jia Xu.
Bao Xin raided the Xuzhou army again, taking away 3,000 elites, at this time staying in the city of Zhou Jun, but only more than 2,000 people, after the cavalry entered the city, the defenders were quickly defeated, and the situation in the city was controlled.
Many generals in the army took refuge in Lu Bu, and the successive battles made the generals under Bao Xin's command realize what kind of danger they needed to bear when fighting with Lu Bu.
Bao Xin fled all the way from the Xuzhou military camp to the west of the city, and saw that the banner of the Yanzhou army was still floating on the head of the city under the firelight, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"When the minister returns to the city, don't open the city gate quickly!" A general stepped forward and shouted.
"The minister of the country will wait a while, and the last general will order someone to open the city gate." When the guards of the city heard this, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied.
Bao Xin inquired about the situation in the army from time to time, and his expression could not hide his anxiety, so he once again asked the infantry in the army to block the cavalry under Lu Bu, providing him with an opportunity to escape from the battlefield.
"Prime Minister, something is wrong, there seems to have been a battle at the city gate." A general stepped forward.
Bao Xin's face changed slightly, and he gestured to the generals beside him.
The general understood the meaning, and stepped forward and said, "Which general is defending the city?" β
"The last general, Liu Zhong, was ordered to guard the city." Jojo responded.
The general snorted coldly: "Bold Liu Zhong, when I saw the prime minister leading the troops back to the city, I didn't go out of the city to greet him." β
"The last general is responsible for his duties, and he doesn't dare to slack off, please forgive the general." Liu Zhong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"At such a point, do you dare to deceive the country? Why is there a battle at the city gates? The general asked.
Lu Bu, who was hidden in the dark, knew that Bao Xin must have discovered something, nodded to the cavalry general, stepped forward and laughed: "Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, can you know Benhou?" β
Against the backdrop of the firelight, Lu Bu's figure became taller and taller, with a height of more than nine feet, and the iconic Fang Tian painting halberd gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"Lu Bu?" Bao was shocked in confidence, and out of cautious interrogation, he didn't expect the city to really be captured by Lu Bu.
"Wenhou don't come unharmed, since Wenhou likes Peixian, take it." After speaking, Bao Xin whispered.
The generals who followed Bao Xin back from the battlefield began to retreat slowly, the shadow of the famous tree, Lu Bu had already established a prestige in the Yanzhou army, and when it came to Lu Bu, the officers and men in the army were all shaken, and they didn't even have the courage to dare to come forward and fight with Lu Bu.
"Haha, in this way, Ben Hou wants your head, and you won't refuse?" Lu Bu laughed.
Bao Xin shouted angrily: "Lu Buxiu is so rampant, Liu Zhoumu has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and he will come in a few days to confront the Zhoumu, but he is hitting the stone with an egg, and this official advises you to tie up your hands as soon as possible......"
"Retreat!" The anger on Bao Xin's face suddenly turned into horror, because he saw the cavalry rushing out of the city gate.
In the Xuzhou army, the most frightening thing is the outstanding cavalry team, with the current state of the soldiers under Bao Xin, how long can they support the cavalry under Lu Bu.
The soldiers of the Xuzhou army in the city laughed when they saw Bao Xin and the others so embarrassed.
Although Lu Bu later killed from the city gate, it did not affect the pace of pursuing Bao Xin's army, and after more than ten miles, Lu Bu led the cavalry back, and many soldiers of the Xuzhou army were cleaning the battlefield along the way.
The conquest of Yanzhou was full of challenges for the Xuzhou army, which occupied a considerable advantage in numbers.
However, the two victories won by LΓΌ Bu led the vanguard army gave the officers and men of the Xuzhou army the hope of victory, and the Yanzhou army, which had the advantage in numbers, would not necessarily win in this encounter.
Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin was damaged twice in the raid on the Xuzhou military camp, the second raid, but also lost the control of Pei County, 10,000 troops, only more than 1,000 people fled in embarrassment, this is the first big victory since the Xuzhou army went to war.
Not only Bao Xin panicked, but also the soldiers who followed Bao Xin to Peixian to block the Xuzhou army, originally they still had a lot of expectations for Bao Xin to win this battle, but when the war really began, they found that the combat effectiveness of Bao Xin's subordinates was too fragile.
Perhaps Bao Xin's very clever plan was so vulnerable in front of Lu Bu, and he raided the camp twice, causing the Yanzhou army to pay a very heavy price.
Bao Xin's face is pale, although he is said to be the prime minister of Jibei, he is also an official with a head and face in Yanzhou, this failure will make him lose face in front of Liu Dai, which is absolutely fatal for an official, Bao Xin also thinks that he will do more in the future.
Let's say that after Lu Bu led the army to occupy Pei County, he immediately controlled the four city gates.
Pei County, the hometown of Gaozu, the city is more majestic than an ordinary county town, which is why Liu Dai chose Pei County to block the attack of the Xuzhou army.
Overnight, the controller of Pei County has changed, and the banner on the head of the city has been replaced by the Wenhou banner.
