Chapter 967: Dying Struggle

Half a day after Zhou Yu, the general of the Northern First Army, saw through the Han army's attempt and persuaded Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, to make him retreat and surrender Gao Wolf to the Han army, Zhao Hongrun finally made up his mind and led the army to Gao Wolf to see what was going on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, it involves his younger brother who has played since he was a child, even if Zhao Hongrun suspects that Han Jun is designing to earn him, he can't let go of the consideration of his younger brother's safety, and he has to make sure that Zhao Hongxuan is safe.

So, he left 4,000 soldiers to guard Weiqiu, and personally led about 10,000 soldiers to support Gao Wolf.

The reason why he set off in the middle of the night was that Zhao Hongrun considered whether it was possible for the Korean army to sacrifice a trick back to the horse pistol, ostensibly to attack the high wolf, and when he led the army to the rescue of the high wolf, the Korean army suddenly came back.

Therefore, he waited for half a day.

Anyway, as far as he knew, there were almost 10,000 troops stationed in Gao Wolf, and there should be no problem in guarding one day, unless his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was greedy and presumptuous, intending to lead a surprise army to attack.

However, if you think about it carefully, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan is also the former deputy marshal of the Northern First Army who experienced the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, and he knows the strength of the Korean army, so it should be impossible to attack in the face of an attack by 40,000 or 50,000 Korean troops this time.

And just when he led more than 10,000 soldiers to cross the unknown river and came to the vicinity of the ruins of the Han army camp during the Battle of Weiqiu a few days ago, the members of the Black Crows who had been sent to the high wolf one step ahead of time came with a news that surprised him extremely much.

"Report! …… The South Korean army has captured the high wolf, and the high wolf has lost. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was subconsciously startled at first, and his hands involuntarily clenched the reins, so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On the side, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and other sect guards also widened their eyes one by one, with a look of horror and inexplicability.

What's going on?

Didn't Gao Wolf have more than 10,000 troops in the north? How did it fall so quickly?

"Are you sure the tall wolf is gone?" Zhao Hongrun asked the crow in a tight voice.

The black crows, who may have been in charge of the transmission of information for the first time, looked a little unconfident, and stammered, "Back to Your Highness, I ...... I should have read the message of the brothers in front of me......"

"What do you mean by should?!"

Zhao Hongrun gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice: "Recall carefully, what is the situation?" ”

The crow remembered for a while, but finally stuck to his original opinion.

This made Zhao Hongrun's whole heart hang, and he secretly said in his heart: Could it be that Xiao Xuan is really ...... He's not going to take the initiative with 10,000 soldiers, is he?

When it comes to Zhao Hongxuan, the younger brother he has played with since childhood, even Zhao Hongrun can't be as calm and decisive as he is on weekdays.

Don't look at Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan are half-brothers, but Zhao Hongrun's mother died early, and he was adopted by his adoptive mother Shen Shufei, so Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan, who grew up together since childhood, have a relationship that is better than that of their own brothers.

If something really happened to Zhao Hongxuan this time, as a brother, Zhao Hongrun would be unable to escape the blame.

What's more, he didn't know how to explain to his adoptive mother Shen Shufei in the future.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun felt a little wrong.

Because at this moment, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan is by his side, but there is Zhou Yu's strategist as a military general, with his secret observation of Zhou Yu a while ago, Zhou Yu is sincerely defecting to Zhao Hongxuan. Although Zhou Yu's sincerity is based on his belief that he has offended King Yong and his staff Zhang Qigong, he thinks that his career is hopeless.

But then again, no matter what the reason is for defecting to Zhao Hongxuan, Zhou Yu currently regards the latter as the object of allegiance, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to sit back and watch Zhao Hongxuan do anything stupid.

Moreover, Zhao Hongrun didn't believe that his younger brother would be so arrogant and unscrupulous, and he dared to attack in the face of forty or fifty thousand Korean troops.

Thinking like this, there is only one possibility for Gao Wolf to lose so quickly, that is, the Northern First Army took the initiative to abandon Gao Wolf and surrendered Gao Wolf to the Han army.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

Because only in this way can we explain why the younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, assisted by the strategist Zhou Yu, and with more than 10,000 troops stationed in the north to guard Gao Wolf, let the Han army capture Gao Wolf so quickly.

"This trick is amazing......" Under the surprised gaze of the guards, Zhao Hongrun changed his talents, laughed, and constantly praised Zhou Yu: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming, worthy of being regarded as a strong opponent by Luo Ying." ”

With that, he instructed the crows, "Go and find out the movements of the Northern First Army." ”

"Yes!" The crows clenched their fists and left.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately made a decision, waved his hand and shouted: "The army listens to the order and returns to Weiqiu!" ”

Immediately, more than 10,000 Wei soldiers returned to Weiqiu again.

On the way back to Weiqiu, the army led by Zhao Hongrun ran into a Korean cavalry head-on, with about 10,000 horsemen.

"Sure enough, the target is me......

After learning about this, Zhao Hongrun secretly sneered.

He did not panic, because when he learned that the high wolf had been lost, he had understood the message contained in this matter, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of Wei Qiu, so that he was only a mile or two away from Wei Qiu at this moment.

What's there to be afraid of?

As Zhao Hongrun expected, when he learned that Han Qi was coming to attack, the Ganben army in the military camp at the foot of Weiqiu Mountain immediately attacked, laid heavy defenses on the flat ground, and covered the retreat of the 10,000 soldiers led by Zhao Hongrun to the camp.

The more than 10,000 Korean cavalry tried to rush back, but there was no result, because the Ganben army suppressed those Korean cavalry with bows and crossbows, although it was only a short moment, but it was enough for Zhao Hongrun to lead the more than 10,000 infantry to retreat to the Weiqiu camp.

After the more than 10,000 infantry led by Zhao Hongrun converged with the Ganben army and withdrew to the Weiqiu camp together, even if there were more than 10,000 Korean cavalry stationed outside, they hesitated and did not dare to rashly attack the Wei army's military camp.

In the end, the more than 10,000 cavalry still retreated, after all, the Korean cavalry was a light cavalry, not a heavy cavalry like the Shangshui Traveling Horse, and the crossbow arrows of the Wei soldiers forcibly attacked the camp under Weiqiu Mountain, which was still a great pressure on those cavalry.

In this regard, the guards felt that there was no danger, and they were frightened in vain.

About two hours later, the black crows came back again, saying that the first army in the north took the initiative to abandon the high wolf and did not start a real fight with the Korean army, so Zhao Hongrun completely relieved himself.

It's no wonder that although he had guessed the reason why Gao Wolf fell so quickly, in the final analysis, he was still a little worried in his heart, for fear that he would guess wrong, after all, it involved the safety of his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, which made him unable to make a calm and decisive judgment as he usually did.

But now that the black crows have made it clear that the Northern First Army is taking the initiative to retreat, Zhao Hongrun can rest assured.

Relieved, he praised Zhou Yu again without hesitation, after all, Zhou Yu's trick was really clever, and it could be said that he saved him in disguise.

Otherwise, if he hadn't retreated at that time, and was copied by more than 10,000 Korean cavalry in the wilderness far away from the Weiqiu military camp, the situation could be said to be extremely bad.

"Sure enough, it's 'Siege Point Reinforcement' who wants to earn me, hey, I'm having fun now......"

Zhao Hongyun smiled evilly, curious about how Han Jun would end this farce.

At the same time, when Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, led more than 10,000 soldiers of the First Army of the North to withdraw his troops from the narrow valley road southwest of Gao Wolf, he and Zhou Yu were also laughing about it.

Zhao Hongxuan is not stupid, when he found out that after his Northern First Army took the initiative to evacuate Gao Wolf, the Han army, which was originally aggressive as if it was going to forcibly attack Gao Wolf, actually stopped outside the Gao Wolf military camp for a while, and vaguely felt 'at a loss', and he realized at that time that Zhou Yu's judgment was correct.

The Han army did not come to capture Gao Wolf at all, but to trap his brother Zhao Hongrun.

"I don't know what the expression of the Han general who led the army here is right now."

is worthy of being a brother, when mentioning this, Zhao Hongxuan also had a bad smile on his face.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Looking at the measures taken by the Han army at that time, it is not difficult to know the mood of the Han general at the moment......

Zhou Yu guessed correctly, at this moment, Jin Huang, the Han general who led the army to feint against the high wolf, was very entangled in his heart.

He never expected that the Northern First Army would give up the high wolf so decisively.

"This ...... How can this lure Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements?"

Jin Huang suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

It's nothing to be seen through by the enemy, but it's embarrassing that the enemy will ignore you after seeing through your intentions.

At this moment, Jin Huang felt extremely embarrassed in his heart.

I have to say that after he learned that the Northern First Army took the initiative to abandon the high wolf, he was stupid.

After being stunned for a while, he reacted and led the army to pursue the Northern First Army, but unfortunately it was too late to pursue the Northern First Army at this time.

Jin Huang was really embarrassed.

It's good that the high wolf has won, but the question is, what's the point of taking the high wolf now?

After waiting for two days, when the Suwang army in the area of Hyun City went south, the retreating Northern First Army returned to Gao Wolf, and the forty or fifty thousand troops on Gao Wolf's side were like dumplings, and there was no place to escape.

After thinking about it, Jin Di could only burn down the high wolf camp of the Northern First Army as if he was angry, and led the army back to Tianmen Pass sullenly - he didn't dare to divide his troops to garrison Gao Wolf at all, because he knew that whoever was left behind would die.

On the way to withdraw the army, Jin Di also hoped that Wei Gongzi Run in Weiqiu would attack him, but as a result, he really saw a lot of Wei soldiers in the Weiqiu area, but these Wei soldiers just looked at them Han soldiers, laughing, with a thick mockery in their laughter.

"How could you take the initiative to abandon the tall wolf?"

Jin Huang really couldn't figure it out.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because he looks at the current Northern First Army with the same eyes as the former Northern First Army, but he doesn't know that the Northern First Army now has an additional military division and general Zhou Yu.

At this time, the storm kite, who was responsible for leading the cavalry to attack Weiqiu, was also on the way to withdraw his troops.

It is undeniable that Feng Ying talked about the head of the earth when he was designing, but unfortunately this result was too far from what he described, so that the violent kite didn't know how to evaluate it.

And after learning that his plan had failed, Feng Ying also sighed gloomily.

He knew that neither the Gao Wolf Wei Army nor the Wei Qiu Wei Army had given him the only chance for the Tianmen Pass Han Army to redeem the turnaround.

"For the sake of the present...... The only way to break through is to break through.'"

Feng Ying said secretly.
