Chapter 377: Sit and wait for Ma Chao
Burst! Burst!
After all, he has been on the battlefield for several years, and he can be regarded as a veteran, and he can easily win in the face of ordinary soldiers. The four inconsistencies also specifically looked for places where the enemy was weak and where the number of soldiers was small to attack, creating opportunities for Yuan Xi to kill the enemy.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
Yuan Xi was killing vigorously, and there was a sound of arrows flying in his ears.
"Run!" Yuan Xi pinched the four disagreements fiercely.
The four inconsistencies also feel the danger.
It's too late to take off, and there's a chance you'll be shot.
It can only run wildly in one direction, temporarily dodging the fire of arrows.
Da Da...
It was so fast that it ran a few feet in the blink of an eye.
The enemy's arrows came at them, and they all missed.
"It's so dangerous..." After dodging the shot, Yuan Xi let out a long sigh of relief.
With his own strength, it is extremely difficult to deal with hundreds or thousands of enemy troops. Yuan Xi also did not expect to defeat or destroy this Cao army. Its real purpose is to make a big noise and attract the attention of the open jaw. As long as Zhang Jaw is in Yingchuan, he will definitely come to the war.
Hang on!
Delay for an hour or two, and you will be able to meet with Open Jaw.
............
In the next hour, Yuan Xi relied on the ability to fly, fighting here and that for a while, specifically looking for the enemy's weak spots, fighting for a while and then fleeing.
Such a method of warfare will not cause much damage to the enemy.
But they are afraid of the beasts, tired of coping, and quite annoyed.
Worried that Yuan Xi had reinforcements or other giant beasts coming, the soldiers in the battalion urgently went to Xuchang for help.
Da Da...
Less than half a pillar of incense, more than 6,000 light riders came from Xuchang.
It was followed by a large number of foot troops.
Zhangjaw, located in the north of Xuchang, also received the news. But he was very hesitant.
In a hut.
The captains under his command all said: "General, the Lord is just fighting a bloody battle in the south of Xuchang, do we really not send troops?" ”
"Don't worry, let me think again."
There are many concerns about open jaws.
He knew very well that Yuan Xi had four disagreements and could be evacuated at any time, and it was impossible for Cao Cao's army to catch him. And if the pioneer battalion makes a move, it will definitely fall into a heavy siege.
At such a time, is it really a wise choice to lead an army into danger just to show loyalty?
No!
For Zhang Jaw, keeping the pioneer camp is more important than showing loyalty.
"Listen to orders..." With his jaw in shape, he said, "From now on, pay close attention to the battle ahead, especially the movements of the lord. Every quarter of an hour, report back to me. ”
"No."
If he doesn't make a move, Yuan Xi is destined to fail to achieve his goal.
After circling around the battlefield for more than an hour, I didn't see Zhang Jaw, so I had to evacuate first.
Coincidentally.
Yuan Xi had just fought a big battle and wanted to find a place to rest, so he took a fancy to the mountain range where Zhang Jaw was located. As soon as I reached the sky above the mountain range, I saw that in the woods below, there were the war horses of the pioneer battalion.
"So it's here..." Yuan Xi couldn't help but laugh bitterly, he had been busy for a long time, thinking that Zhang Jaw would come to the rescue, but he was under his nose, and he actually calmed down.
Swish!
The four do not fly to the mountain.
The dense woods below are full of newly built thatched huts.
Yuan Xi guessed that Zhang Jaw's pioneer camp should be there.
"My lord..." Zhang Jaw came out of a thatched hut, happened to meet Yuan Xi, and hurriedly saluted.
Yuan Xi was also stunned, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, I finally found you." How's it going? Is the army in Cage City still there? ”
"My lord, please come in." Zhang Jaw welcomed Yuan Xi into the house.
He took out a large map, hung it in front of him, and said: "The situation in Cage City is not optimistic, as soon as we arrived in Cage City, we were attacked by Cao Cao's main force, and after a period of fierce fighting, both sides have their own victories and defeats. But in the end, the cage city was lost, and our troops withdrew into the mountains. The end will estimate... When our grain and grass are exhausted, they will all be wiped out. ”
Yuan Xi stared at the map and said, "I feel very surprised, you don't have many troops in your hands, and you can hold out for so long?" ”
"Back to the lord, this is because we captured Cao Cao's Shenji battalion, about hundreds of thunderbolts, placed on the high mountain, taking advantage of the location, and Cao Cao's main force withdrew to Rencheng. So we held on for a long time. But recently, the Cao army around Cage City is gathering towards Cage City, and the last general feels... Our army in the mountains behind the cage city is almost unable to hold on, maybe... has been wiped out. Jaw opened and replied.
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi had expected it.
From the very beginning of the war, after learning that Zhang Jaw was in ambush, Yuan Xi did not dare to expect the survival of the army except for the pioneer battalion.
The battle of Cage City is destined to be a defeat that cannot be recovered.
"Cage City is too far away from here, I can't save it anymore, let it be fate. The most important thing now is to keep the pioneer camp and take you to Puyang. Yuan Xi said.
Zhang Jaw was puzzled: "Didn't the lord say... Do you want to send reinforcements to attack Xuchang? ”
Yuan Xi said: "I originally planned it this way, but now it is impossible, because there is a little problem with the reinforcements, and they cannot participate in the battle of Yingchuan." Therefore, it is planned to be cancelled. ”
"General Zhang, how is the situation in the pioneer battalion?"
Zhang Jaw slowly sat down, remembering the battle of Cage City, sighed, and said, "The pioneer battalion has never suffered such a heavy blow. Of the original 3,000 people, only 1,000 remained, and most of them were wounded and almost lost their combat effectiveness. This is also the reason why the last general would rather hide than dare to move to Puyang. ”
"Once you leave this mountain range, you will be immediately besieged by thousands of enemy troops. With the current state of the pioneer battalion, it is impossible to survive. Does the lord have a way to evacuate to Puyang? ”
"It's really bad." Yuan Xi studied the map for a while, his brows furrowed.
The pioneer battalion is a rare elite in Hebei, representing the strength of the cavalry and the spiritual pillar of the Hebei army. With such an elite, Yuan Xi really didn't want to see him destroyed.
Rather than opening his jaw, he wanted the pioneer battalion to return to Puyang.
"The last general has a bold idea, is the lord willing to listen to it?" He said suddenly.
"Say."
Zhang Jaw got up and walked over, pointed to the map and said: "Puyang's army is impossible to come to support, and the cage city is in danger. Only Ma Chao on the Wancheng battlefield can rush to Yingchuan within a few days, why not let him lead the Xiliang army and rush to support? The last general heard that he had brought 80,000 Xiliang Jing Cavalry, which was a very powerful force. ”
Zhang Jaw mentioned Ma Chao, which made Yuan Xi's eyes light up.
As early as Puyang, Yuan Xi wanted Ma Chao to participate in the Battle of Yingchuan, perhaps... Ma Chao has already received Gao Ran's letter.
"You reminded me." A smile appeared on Yuan Xi's face and said, "We don't have to be afraid of Cao Jun in Yingchuan anymore. Not surprisingly, Ma Chao will come to Yingchuan in these days. ”
"The lord has already sent someone to inform Ma Chao?"
"Well, I think he has already received the letter, in order to avenge his father, and also to revitalize the Han, he will definitely come!" Yuan Xi said.
