Chapter 258: Trying to Capture the Past



Hearing this, Qiu Liju secretly said in his heart, it is really a blessing, and there is no single disaster. More than half of the casualties of the Jiwei tribe in the first battle in the wilderness just now, and the Wuhuan soldiers led by Qiu Li's residence also suffered some casualties.

They underestimated the combat strength of the officers and soldiers, resulting in a great defeat for the soldiers of the department, and now when they heard the big things that the soldiers said were not good, Qiu Liju and Jiwei felt as if the sky was about to fall.

He hurriedly asked the soldier, "What do you say?" ”

This soldier was a soldier sent by Qiu Liju to various departments in Youzhou to investigate the movement of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and he did find out an extremely terrible thing for Qiu Liju: "Chief, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong have abnormal actions two days ago. ”

Unusual action? Qiu Liju's face showed a look of surprise, "What's the difference?" ”

The subject country of Liaodong is very close to the Qiuliju tribe, and now the soldiers of the subject country of Liaodong are frequently transferred, is it possible that the official army is acting against my tribe? Thinking of this, Qiu Liju felt a little chill all over his body.

Although he moved his subordinates out for dozens of miles and entered Su Li's ground, it was because Su Li's strength was greatly damaged, and he could not pose any threat to himself at present, Su Li did not dare to move his subordinates now, but in the same way, Su Li did not dare to move Qiu Liju's subordinates, and naturally he did not have the courage to move the officials and troops of Zhao Yi's department.

This means that as long as the officials and soldiers are willing, they can also gallop in the Xianbei tribe, and Su Li will not be hindered by anything, and will even cooperate with the officials and troops to attack their own tribe, which is the last thing Qiu Liju wants to see.

Although this soldier has not yet said what the disaster is, Qiu Liju has already guessed it, but he still hopes that this soldier will say that the official army of Liaodong is transferred out to reinforce the official army of Zhuojun.

"My unit Tanma saw with my own eyes the soldiers of the counties and counties of Liaodong Territory quickly assembled, heading north, as if they were going to our tribe, and the captain who learned the news had returned to the tribe and reported this matter to the young leader, and the small one came here to report to the leader."

The intention of the official army this time is very obvious, even this little herald soldier can see it, Qiu Liju can naturally see through it, Qiu Liju who heard the news, the heart hanging from it kept sinking, and the captain of the herald soldier notified the tribe of the news, and could only let the guards of the tribe react to the battle, because that time was not enough for his tribe to escape.

Ji Wei was defeated by Zhao Yi with just one move, if it weren't for Qiu Liju leading his troops to save him desperately, the 35,000 soldiers under Ji Wei would all die in the hands of the Youzhou official army. Therefore, Ji Wei spoke to Qiu Liju with less arrogance and more humility. "Leader Qiu Liju, what do you think about this matter?"

Qiu Liju groped for the stubble and sighed secretly, the tribe is now in danger, if he doesn't wave his troops to rescue. That is to lose the hearts of the people, all the families of the Wuhuan tribe are in the Wuhuan tribe, if the tribe knows in the future, Qiu Liju obviously knows that the tribe is besieged by the official army and did not save it, it will definitely make the Wuhuan army disheartened, this is not what Qiu Liju wants, but since the official army is besieging their own tribe, they must have set up multiple obstacles on their way back, and some soldiers may be lost when they go.

Hearing Ji Wei's question, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Qiu Liju's mouth, what else can he do now, now the situation can be described as a dilemma, stretching out his head and shrinking his head is also a knife.

Zhao Yi didn't give Qiu Liju much time to react, and just when Qiu Liju was uncertain, the soldiers outside the tent ran to report: "General, the official army has broken through the obstacle and is now attacking and killing the camp department!" ”

The soldier's words pushed the mood of Ji Wei and Qiu Liju to a low point, and the official army broke through the obstacles, which meant that the three thousand brave warriors who desperately blocked the official army in Youzhou for themselves had been wiped out by the official army.

However, this speed is too fast, I originally thought that with the resistance of these 3,000 soldiers, I could hold off the officers and soldiers for at least half an hour, but who would have thought that they would not be able to support it for even half an hour.

"Chief, what shall we do now?" Qiu Liju is now the backbone of Ji Wei, and he now regrets it in his heart, regretting why he didn't listen to Qiu Liju's proposal in the first place. If he hadn't attacked lightly, his 50,000 cavalry would not have been chased by the 40,000 cavalry of the official army.

More than half of the casualties of the Jiwei Department are now, and the morale of the remaining soldiers is also low to a certain extent, and the soldiers of the Qiu Liju tribe have also suffered nearly one-third of the casualties in this attack, and now is a good time to annihilate the two Qiu Liju departments, and the official army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, which has long been expected by Qiu Liju, but I didn't expect the official army to come so quickly.

He and Jiwei's 50,000 allied army, now there are less than 30,000 left, and it is very unwise to use this ruined army against the imposing Youzhou official army.

"Retreat!" If your own people are fighting with the officials and soldiers with the heart of death, it will be a scene of defeat and injury, and their two soldiers will be killed by all the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, and the officials and troops of Youzhou will also be shattered by the impact of the two coalition forces, in order to save Jiwei, the Qiu Liju tribe has lost nearly 5,000 men and horses, which has made Qiu Liju very distressed.

If all the elites of the Wuhuan tribe died in Youzhou, then why should Qiu Liju show his ambitions.

Qiu Liju hated Jiwei to the extreme in his heart, and secretly said, if he had followed my advice the day before yesterday and the army withdrew directly, there would be no matter today.

Ji Wei did not evacuate that day, but he did not stop Qiu Liju from evacuating, the reason why Qiu Liju chose to stay here was also to use Ji Wei's hand to try the movements of the official army, Zhao Yi was just a psychological fear, in fact, he also wanted to see how Zhao Yi would deal with him.

But it was Qiu Liju's relaxation that caused his coalition forces to be almost devastated.

Qiu Liju and their actions were very fast, when Zhao Yi arrived at the camp, he could only see the dust in the north, looking at the empty barracks, the tent swayed with the wind, the faces of Liu Bei and others were full of excitement. Let Gao Shun and the others look at Zhao Yi's eyes full of reverence.

"My lord, the remnants of Qiu Liju are now fleeing north, are our troops pursuing?" Liu Bei asked Zhao Yi for a sentence, and Qiu Liju's army escaped from Youzhou, which means that the danger of Youzhou has been lifted.

"What does Brother Xuande think?" Zhao Yi asked with a smile.

Now that the morale and strength of the enemy army have been seriously damaged, it is natural to take advantage of the great loss of the opponent's strength to annihilate them all, "The lower officer thinks that our troops should take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Qiu Liju and the Goguryeo soldiers." Liu Bei's proposal, Gao Shun and the others all nodded.

Zhang Fei held eight snake spears in his hand: "Kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" He passed by Qiu Liju, but failed to kill Qiu Liju, which made Zhang Fei depressed.

thought that Zhao Yi would order the official army to attack on all fronts, but who would have thought that Zhao Yi would give the order to withdraw the troops. Zhao Yi's behavior was so abnormal that it made Gao Shun and the others very strange.

"My lord, I have a rare opportunity now, why don't our soldiers take advantage of the victory to pursue it." Gao Shun met with Zhao Yi, hoping that Zhao Yi could take back his life.

Zhao Yi asked Gao Shun and the others rhetorically: "If the general has no way to survive, what kind of action will he take?" ”

Gao Shun didn't think about it and said directly: "If there is no way to survive, it is natural to fight back, since you already know that you will die, then give the enemy a heavy blow before you die." Speaking of this, Gao Shun's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Zhao Yi meant. The Admiral understood. ”

The combat power of the Youzhou cavalry department, which was supplied by the Xiongnu war horses, increased greatly, and it took two hours to catch up with Qiu Li's residence by relying on the advantage of the war horses. Seeing that there was no hope for their own survival, Qiu Liju and Ji Wei would turn their horses' heads to counterattack the official army, but Qiu Liju and Ji Wei had nearly 30,000 cavalry in their hands, and if they attacked the official army with a mortal heart, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties to the official cavalry.

"To deal with this kind of brave soldiers who are strong and have the courage to fight to the death with the enemy, we must slowly consume their fighting spirit and the reckless spirit contained in their bodies as we did with the Qiangqu tribe." Zhao Yi said with a smile, fighting hard with Qiu Liju and others is not what Zhao Yi wants to see, now Youzhou's strength is too weak, and fighting with such a strong enemy will shake the foundation.

"The soldiers of Qiu Li's residence are not different from the Qiangqu tribe, Qiangqu was besieged by our army in Guangning County at that time, and the mobility of the cavalry was completely lost, so we would let our soldiers slowly consume their sharp energy." Liu Bei said a very key difference, "Although the sharp spirit of Qiu Li's residence department has been broken by our soldiers, the mobility of the cavalry has not been lost, and they can flee to any place they want to go to recuperate. ”

The Xianbei tribes in the west are scattered like stars, and with Qiu Liju's ability, they can form a cavalry in three or five years. If you let them go today, it will be like a return to the mountains.

And if Qiu Liju, the injured tiger, recovers his vitality, he will definitely bite Youzhou hard. Such repeated exchanges, the economy in Youzhou will be dragged down by them, Liu Bei means to take this opportunity to kill Qiu Liju's soldiers to avoid future troubles.

Gao Shun listened to Liu Bei's words and nodded secretly in his heart, Liu Bei's words have a certain amount of truth, but if the official army fights with the Qiu Liju tribe, even if the victory is won, there are not many of the 40,000 cavalry who can survive. The Qiuliju Wuhuan tribe and Goguryeo no longer have the ability to invade the land of Youzhou, but how can the Youzhou official army, which has suffered a great loss of strength, deter the Kebineng in the north and the Fuyu tribe in the east.

Now the matter of Youzhou must have reached their ears, and the reason why they haven't done it yet is that they are waiting for the official army and Qiu Liju to lose both. Their thoughts were the same as watching Zhao Yi and Qiangqu's troops attack and kill that day, they would not take action easily before the official army collapsed.

In Gao Shun's opinion, the official army can already collect troops if they can have today's results, as for Qiu Liju and others, they can only be annihilated when the official army in Youzhou is strong.

Gao Shungang wanted to say what he thought in his heart, but was interrupted by Zhao Yi, "Brother Xuande is right, but Brother Xuande has heard a word?" If you can run, the Taoist priest can't run the Taoist temple. ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he understood what Zhao Yi meant, your people can run, but their homes can't run away. As long as this weakness is choked, the enemy will allow himself to be rounded and flattened.

And Zhao Yi's henchman Murong Fu had already rushed to the Liaodong vassal state three days ago, Liu Bei's gaze in the northeast direction was meaningful, and he didn't know what happened to Murong Fu and them.
