The impact of the heavy cavalry did not last long, and it took about a stick of incense to leave, although this time was short, but it brought immeasurable losses and psychological shadows to the Yellow Turban Army.

The attack of the Taishan army came and went quickly, and the whole process was only half an hour, leaving behind a mess of the Yellow Turban Camp and the granary with remnants of the ashes, as well as Li Damu who was silently licking his wounds.

Looking at everything in front of him, Li Damu felt as if he had just experienced a nightmare, and sat on the ground with a sluggish expression.

"Dashuai, what should we do next? Most of the grain and grass have been burned, and if we continue to march towards Mount Tai, we may not last more than fifteen days. Now we can't go back to Linzi, we can only go to Le'an in the north, otherwise we will be pursued all the way, and we will be eaten up. ”

"Withdraw, withdraw to Jinan, gather men and horses in Linji, and go north to Jizhou, now the great sage and good teacher are at war with Lu Zhi, we have no hope of conquering Mount Tai this time, and we may be able to fight for the great sage and good teacher in the north."

That night, the Yellow Turban Army retreated all the way to the west, and retreated until Yuling County confirmed that there were no pursuers in the rear before they were stationed to recuperate.

……

The next day, Su Xiu received a report from the wolf's tooth, Li Damu was stationed in Ling County, and it seemed that the direction of travel was to pass through Jinan to the west, so he found Zhao Yun and other generals to discuss.

"Senior brother, I thought they might go north or south through the economic south, and if they went north, they could transfer to Le'an County and then go north to Jizhou, although it was said that most of the grain and grass were burned in last night's battle, but the overall combat strength did not suffer much loss. If they go north to Jizhou to aid Zhangjiao, it is likely to affect the situation in Jizhou. ”

Zilong continued.

"If they turn south, then it will also pose a great threat to Mount Tai, after all, the vast majority of Mount Tai's troops are now here, Mount Tai's defense is extremely empty, if Li Damu takes advantage of the void to enter, it is likely to cause consequences that we cannot bear."

"General Zilong, in your opinion, is it possible for Li Damu to continue to advance westward?" Lin Kui heard Zhao Yun's analysis, nodded slightly, and continued to ask.

"This is not very likely, after all, Li Da's foundation is in Qingzhou, and he will enter Dongjun after the westward advance of Jinan Kingdom, neither Dongjun Taishou nor Jizhou Sili will allow such a large number of yellow turbans to cross the border and threaten Luoyang. This is the bottom line of the imperial court, once it is touched, the consequences are not something that Li Damu can bear. ”

"Lord, I agree with General Zilong's opinion, in my opinion, Li Damu is more likely to go north, after all, Li Damu does not have much grain and grass now, and Qingzhou has been operating as his base camp for so many years, there must be a stronghold that can be used as a supply, if it is too desperate to go south, once blocked, it will be in a dilemma, and it will not be so easy to retreat at that time." He Wang has often worked beside Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai in the past two or three years, and has gradually formed a certain tactical thinking.

"Yes, your analysis is very reasonable, we can't let Li Damu easily support Zhang Jiao, this will cause a situation of front and back attacks on the Jizhou soldiers, it is likely to break the current stalemate, we must cripple or even exterminate them, even if they flee to Jizhou, they can't affect the entire battle situation in Jizhou."

"Now let's arrange the pursuit plan, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun will lead the cavalry battalion to Liangzou County to intercept the Yellow Turbans going north, your task is to contain it, after all, the disparity in strength is too great, even the cavalry can't confront it head-on; The rest of the people followed me and led the infantry in close pursuit of Li Damu, and wherever he intended to retreat, we must drive him in the direction of Liangzou. ”

……

"Zilong, tell me, why didn't the lord let me participate in the frontal battle, and let me go to Liang Zou, but it was just containment, and I couldn't fight head-on, so I was bored when I thought about it."

"General Yide, Liang Zou's terrain is more open, compared to the mausoleum, it is more conducive to the galloping of the cavalry, the senior brother must have arranged this way to let the cavalry play to the advantages of the attack, the Yellow Turban Army is almost all foot soldiers, unable to pursue, so that we can firmly contain Li Damu in Jinan at a smaller cost, and the infantry led by the senior brother can gradually eat away the main force of the Yellow Turban."

"Zilong, don't call the general, I listen awkwardly, I heard the lord say that you are his junior brother, and the marksmanship is more powerful than the lord, one day back to Mount Tai we will learn from each other, these few times I have not been able to fight a comfortable fight, my hands are about to rust."

"It seems that what Senior Brother said is right, Yide, you are a fighting maniac, and your hands will itch if you don't fight for a day, okay, as long as you successfully complete Senior Brother's task this time and exterminate the Yellow Turban, I will accompany you to have a good fight after I go back."

"It's a deal!"

……

After arriving in Liangzou, Zhao Yun personally went to survey the terrain and formulate a battle plan, and Zhang Fei was also completely convinced by this young man who was a few years younger than Su Xiu after listening to Zhao Yun's thoughts. Although the battle plan may not be as perfect as that formulated by Xi Zhicai and Su Xiu, it almost includes all possibilities, at least he can't make such a deployment at all.

But after all, when Zhao Yun first arrived in Mount Tai, the generals in the army were not very familiar with him, so the work of the order was still given by Zhang Fei, presumably this was also the intention of arranging Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to lead the cavalry to fight.

A few days later, the Malay newspaper reported that the Yellow Turban army really appeared near Liang Zou, and it seemed that Su Xiu's driving tactics were very successful, and in just a few days, Li Damu's 150,000 army was only about 100,000 left. After determining the retreat route of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yun chose a dense forest on the road that Li Damu must pass to prepare for an ambush.

According to Zhao Yun's combat ideas, when Li Damu led his troops to pass through the dense forest, Zhang Fei led a thousand cavalry to attack Li Damu. Just when Zhang Fei's troops were about to fall into a heavy encirclement, 800 cavalry from each of the two wings of the woods committed suicide and attacked at the same time, not only to meet Zhang Fei's escape, but also to smash the defense organized by Li Damu again.

Although there are only more than 2,000 cavalry, Li Damu is really beaten without temper, the equipment of the two sides is obviously not at the same level, and the opponent's attack is clearly layered, and the timing is also quite accurate, he can organize an encirclement and trap these thousands of men and horses to death if he appears earlier; Appearing a little later, the defensive ring arranged by himself has been formed, and it is not easy for the periphery to break through, and the trapped cavalry can only be slaughtered.

But such a cascade attack completely disrupted his deployment. Just when Li Damu was about to organize his men and horses to leave these thousands of cavalry again, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the mountains and forests behind the side, and when he looked back, he saw the dust and smoke billowing in the woods, and a young general in a white robe and silver spear rushed to Li Damu first, and shouted: "Yide Mo panic, Changshan Zhao Zilong is here!" "The three hundred cavalry behind him are all horses wearing heavy armor, and the people are heavily armoured, so what is it if they are not heavy cavalry.

What's even more terrifying is that the dust and smoke are still behind the heavy cavalry, and it seems that there is a steady stream of cavalry moving closer to his team, which has become the last straw that crushes Li Damu.
