Chapter 217: Liu Biao fled
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were unwilling to follow his orders to attack, Wen Ping scolded with hatred, and killed several fearful Jingzhou soldiers one after another, only then did he stop the fearful mentality of the Jingzhou soldiers. But Wen Ping knew that this was not a long-term solution, and if Lu Bu and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry continued to rage like this, then the rout of the Jingzhou army would not be far away.
However, at this time, Wen Ping couldn't think of any good way to deal with this Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Wolf Rider. After Yuan Shu arrived in Wancheng, he set off from Wancheng on the second day, and after arriving in Xinye, he did not take a long time to rest and launch an attack on Liu Biao, resulting in Liu Biao's side not knowing that Lu Bu had thrown himself under Yuan Shu, and this time Lu Bu and nearly 20,000 wolf riders from Bingzhou also went south to Nanyang.
In today's battle, when Lu Bu and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry appeared, the defeat of the Jingzhou army was already doomed, and it was an irreparable defeat.
Seeing that Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou had already scuttled through his own battle formation, Wen Ping knew in his heart that the general trend had gone and it was irretrievable. It was to ride a horse and dance a knife, return to Liu Biao's side, and say to Liu Biao: "Lord, go quickly!" ”
Wen Ping's words were extremely concise, but Liu Biao still understood what Wen Ping meant. Now that the array of the Jingzhou army has collapsed on the charge of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, it is completely unshaped, at this time, not to mention that there are still 50,000 fresh troops under Yuan Shu that have not been used, just one Bingzhou wolf cavalry alone is enough to make the Jingzhou army defeated.
Moreover, Liu Biao looked up at this time and found that at this time, the soldiers of Yuan Shujun had already launched a charge, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards their own battle array, roaring loudly, dancing with their blades, and rushing over with great momentum. Morale is so high that it doesn't look like it's normal at all.
On the side of the Jingzhou army, after being led by Lu Bu and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou to penetrate the battle formation, the morale of the soldiers of the Jingzhou army was sluggish and fell into a trough, and Liu Biao could even see the fear in the eyes of some of the Jingzhou soldiers beside him, and saw the fear of Lu Bu and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou.
If the infantry wants to win in the battle with the cavalry, unless it is a heavy infantry like the trapping camp that can block the cavalry charge, or a crossbow soldier like the first dead soldier who can break out with powerful combat power to destroy the cavalry in a short period of time, otherwise, you can only rely on the terrain to block the speed of the cavalry with the help of the terrain to have a chance to win.
These items have nothing to do with the current Jingzhou army, so in the face of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu, the Jingzhou army can be said to have nothing to do, and for the cavalry, once they cannot effectively block them, then on the battlefield, the power they can explode will be like a snowball. The power here is not only lethal, but more importantly, momentum and deterrence.
In war, fighting is morale, if the morale of one of the two warring parties is high, the morale of one side is low. There is no doubt that the end result will be a victory for the side with high morale. And now, Yuan Shujun's morale is high because of the terrifying strength of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and as for the Jingzhou army, it is also because of the strong strength of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that the morale has fallen into a trough. Under the combination of the two, the current Jingzhou army is simply unable to resist Yuan Shu's army.
"Retreat!"
Looking at Yuan Shujun, who had already launched a charge, Liu Biao spit out two words with hatred.
Liu Biao didn't expect that the good situation he had worked hard to create would actually fall into trouble as soon as Yuan Shu came, and Liu Biao and Pan Feng were in a stalemate in Xinye, and they also thought that they would transfer troops from the rear again and take Nanyang in one fell swoop. But I didn't expect that as soon as this Yuan Shu came, the Jingzhou army was defeated, which made Liu Biao a little difficult to accept.
After this defeat, it was not only the problem that Liu Biao could no longer transfer troops, but more importantly, when Liu Biao wanted to send troops to Nanyang, he encountered opposition from many families in Jingzhou. And it was precisely because of Wenpin's previous victory that Liu Biao had the confidence to suppress the opposition of the Jingzhou family and enter Nanyang.
Now the Jingzhou army is doomed to a great defeat, and after the defeat, Liu Biao can almost foresee that when he returns to Xiangyang, he will face an extremely bad situation. What they have to face may be that the four major families of Jingzhou and other families will fight back against themselves, and maybe they will have to give up some interests in order to quell the back attack of these families.
Although many people in the Jingzhou family worked under Liu Biao, such as Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Pang Ji and others, and even Liu Biao married Cai Mao's sister. But these people, including Kuai Yue, who is now by Liu Biao's side, follow the code of conduct of the family and the country, the family is in front and the country is in the back, when the family conflicts with the lord they serve, their choice is basically the family.
At the beginning, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and secured the position of the lord of Jingzhou with the strength of the four major families in Jingzhou, but this also left hidden dangers for the later governance of Jingzhou, so that Liu Biao's desire to govern Jingzhou was hindered by a group of Jingzhou families led by the four major families of Jingzhou.
But these are all things that will happen after going back to Xiangyang, and now the most important thing for Liu Biao is to escape, only by escaping can there be everything, once Liu Biao dies here, then there is really nothing.
Liu Biao was not pretentious, after thinking for a while, Liu Biao made the decision to retreat, under the escort of Wen Ping, Wang Wei and Kuai Yue, with a group of remnants of the defeated general to withdraw, and finally passed through the camp, Kuai Yue suddenly turned ruthless, temporarily stopped, and then in the eyes of Liu Biao and others, he used his soul power to the limit, summoned a little flame in mid-air, and landed on the big camp, which instantly burned the big camp one by one, and at the same time under the wind controlled by Kuai YueThe fire spread towards the entire camp.
When Kuai Yue finished all this, he was all in prostration, and even a little delirious, but he still insisted on saying a word in front of Liu Biao before he fainted.
"Lord, this fire should be able to slow down the pursuit of Yuan Shujun, retreat quickly, evacuate Nanyang, and return to Xiangyang We still have a chance, if we can't retreat, then there will be nothing."
Looking at Kuai Yue, who had already fainted, Liu Biao's eyes were full of excitement.
With such a courtier, even if he encounters such a great calamity, what will he do?
