Chapter 91: Chase and Escape
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi nodded and motioned for Yan Liang to recover Yecheng.
However, thinking of Yuan Shang's Bingzhou Army and Yuan Tan's Qingzhou Army, they transported a large amount of money, weapons and battle armor from Yecheng. Yuan Xi was really unwilling, raised his hand and said, "General Yan wait." ”
"What else does Childe command?" Yan Liang was about to leave, turned around and asked back.
"How many soldiers and horses do we have in Yecheng?"
"Twelve thousand paces."
"There are no enemy troops in Yecheng, and there is no need for tens of thousands of troops to guard it." Yuan Xi thought for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Immediately gather 10,000 of them to pursue Yuan Tan who has fled east." ”
"Uh... Promise. ”
Yan Liang glanced at him.
Frustrated, he said: "Young man, although Yuan Tan was defeated, there are still 20,000 elites. The 20,000 elites were the veterans he stayed in Yecheng to confront Yuan Shang, and they were specially selected, and with our 10,000 foot cavalry in Yecheng, it was difficult to beat them. In addition, Yecheng is in chaos now, and the lord has not been buried, is it first... ”
"No way!"
Yuan Xi said: "Yuan Tan was defeated, and the morale of the army was gone, it was a good time to beat him, how could you miss it?" I believe that General Yan Liang can complete this task by winning more with less. Mr. Fu, the pursuit of Yuan Tan is only a day or two, and there is nothing to delay. Those weapons, armor, money and food are Yecheng's savings for several years, and I must recover them. As for holding my father's funeral and burial, I will handle it myself. ”
"Yes..."
Frustrated answered.
I thought that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao were really different.
A resourceful and determined, strong-willed.
An indecisive and weak-willed one.
Often in the face of big things, the resourceful and decisive person is much better than the indecisive person who wavered on the advice of others. It's just that Yuan Xi is conceited and insists on going his own way, and he doesn't listen to the advice of the strategists, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Just when his mind was turning, Yan Liang arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”
He turned and left the tent.
"Wen Chou, Gao Lan, General Ju Yi." Yuan Xi called.
"Yes."
Three people came out of the ranks.
Yuan Xi said: "Send troops to take over Yecheng." Try to convince the rich families in the city that those who are willing to be loyal will settle down, and those who are not willing to be loyal will be arrested immediately. I hope to see order return to Yecheng before noon tomorrow. ”
"No..."
After Yuan Xi's arrangement.
The 12,000 paces of the South Campus were all dispatched.
Yuan Xi also stopped staying, and drove the four no-sides to leave. He wanted to hurry back to the camp in the south of Wei County and prepare to face Yuan Shang. Because Yuan Shang also took away a large number of strategic materials.
I was worried that I couldn't match the elite of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.
Now Yuan Xi has made up his mind. Whether you can fight or not, you should give it a go. It would be a great fortune if the goods that were taken away were recovered. In order to strengthen his power, it is worth fighting to the death.
After two shifts.
Yuan Xi rode across the night sky like a meteor. He clearly saw Yuan Shang's 20,000 troops marching from east to west. Due to the large amount of baggage in the ranks, the pace of the march was slow.
At this rate, it is estimated that it may not be possible to reach the camp in the south of Wei County after dawn.
Yuan Xi had a plan in mind and hurried towards the south.
The speed has reached the extreme. Yuan Xi lay on its back, clutching at its mane, enduring the discomfort caused by the blowing wind.
Soon arrived at the barracks.
Yuan Xi found that all the battlefields had been cleaned, and the Jiao Touch's volunteer army had also returned to the camp. Bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, and wounded soldiers wailed and bandaged their wounds.
Yu Ban led two teams of soldiers on patrol.
Zhang Jaw sent people to bury the pot and make rice.
Mammoths and King Kong apes were kept in the fences of the rear camp.
Yuan Xi swooped down and stopped the four non-phases next to them.
Back to the camp tent.
Yuan Xi sent people to find Zhang Jaw, Yu Ban and Jiao Touch.
All three were injured to varying degrees, and they had just taken care of their wounds, and there was still a hint of pain on their faces. It can be seen that they are not lightly injured.
When I met Yuan Xi.
Zhang Jaw said anxiously: "Childe, where have you been?" We sent several teams out, but we didn't find it, and we thought... ”
"It doesn't matter what you hurt, right?" Yuan Xi interrupted Zhang Jaw's words.
"It's okay, it's already bandaged."
"Can you still fight?" Yuan Xi asked coldly.
"What do you mean?"
Yuan Xi pointed to the map behind him and said, "Yuan Shang took away all the materials in Yecheng and led 20,000 elites to come here." It is expected to arrive in an hour and a half. We must intercept him, defeat him, and reclaim all the supplies! ”
Everyone looked at each other.
He touched his injured leg and felt a little embarrassed.
Jiao Touch is also a bitter face.
Yu Ban said: "The last general's injury is fine, but the soldiers in the battalion can't bear it." They fought for a whole day, without even having time to drink, and most of them were wounded and physically and mentally exhausted. The last general was worried that they would not be able to defeat Yuan Shang's elite. ”
Yuan Xi, who was bent on recapturing the supplies, hated to be deployed immediately.
Hearing Yu Ban's words, he was also anxious: "You can't just watch Yuan Shang transport the materials back to Bingzhou, right?" You must know that the materials in Yecheng are the savings of the entire Hebei. How serious the consequences are if it falls into the hands of Yuan Shang. ”
"Son, can you rest for the night? Tomorrow after noon.... ”
"By then, it's too late!"
Yuan Xi walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly thought of the King Kong giant ape and the mammoth. If they were to attack Yuan Shang's team, they might be able to delay for a while and allow the soldiers in the battalion to rest for a while.
It's not too late to fight again after resting.
"Well, that's it." Yuan Xi made up his mind.
He sat down and said, "Go and gather the unwounded soldiers in the camp at once, let them eat and drink enough, and sleep well." At noon tomorrow, all of them will go out of camp and set up an ambush on the road leading to Huguan. I will lead Yuan Shang there. This battle was due to the full command of the forbidden general, and Jiao Touch assisted. Zhang Jaw stayed in the camp. ”
"No..."
The people answered.
Although they were not sure, Yuan Xi had already given the order, and they could only obey.
"Let's go and prepare."
"No."
After they left, Yuan Xi did not dare to delay.
With the King Kong giant ape and the mammoth, he left the camp and went to the north to intercept Yuan Shang's team.
It has to be said that this decision was somewhat hasty and reckless. With the defense of the King Kong giant ape and the mammoth, it will not be harmed by ordinary arrows, knives and guns. But in Yuan Shang's team, there are some heavy ballistae and trebuchets. If you are hit by this thing, you will be injured at least and you will be killed at worst. It was to intercept Yuan Shang's team, and it was a big risk.
