Chapter 268: The Battle of Ping'en County Begins
Wang Lei took Dian Wei and Guo Jia back to the Chinese army's big tent, and continued to discuss the matter of Wuhuan. Wang Lei and Zhao Yun teamed up to defeat the Wuhuan soldiers led by Bun Dun, and Wang Lei sent soldiers to pursue, but for Wang Lei, this was far from enough. Badun led the army south, burned and looted all the way, and robbed countless people, these people are still in the hands of Badun, and must be completely resolved.
Wang Lei and Guo Jia discussed and decided on the next plan.
Soon, a cavalry rushed out from the battalion and disappeared into the distant horizon.
……
In Xiaquyang County, a Wuhuan soldier is hurrying quickly.
This army was the Wuhuan soldiers led by Bundun and Su Fuyan, about four or five hundred people. Every Wuhuan soldier was embarrassed, with bloodshot eyes and a thick tired look on his face, which looked like he hadn't rested well for a long time. was attacked by Wang Lei and Zhao Yun before, and the Wuhuan soldiers were completely lost, almost suffering a fatal blow.
After Badun fled with his troops, Wang Lei issued another order, saying that the Wuhuan soldiers had been defeated and called on the people to kill the Wuhuan soldiers.
When the people got the news, although they did not dare to attack head-on, they attacked from time to time. In addition, there was Wang Lei's cavalry attack. The constant blows put the Wuhuan soldiers in a difficult situation.
Every time it passed, it was hit hard.
When they went all the way south, the Wuhuan soldiers implemented the strategy of killing, robbing, and burning them all, returning along the road before coming, all the way desolate, and robbing the opportunity for supplies at all.
Even if you encounter a village that has not been looted, it is already empty, and all places are empty.
Several reasons superimposed, and the Wuhuan soldiers were in a predicament.
However, there was no cavalry pursuit in the past few days, and Badon was still relieved, and the army that was stubbornly entangled behind finally did not chase after him, and he could rest well.
The barracks had been on the road for a long time and rested under a hillside.
His gaze swept over the tired soldier, and his heart felt sad.
This battle was completely planted.
Not only did the elite cavalry under his command suffer heavy losses, but even the generals who led the army also lost two. The killing of Wuyan and Nanlou was a great deal for Bandun, and although he could incorporate the forces of these two tribes, the bigger problem was the loss of the strength of this battle. The loss of a difficult building, the army has combat effectiveness, but Uyan was also killed, and the army was defeated, no matter what benefits can be obtained in the future, it proves that he is incompetent.
The unspeakable bitterness permeated in Badun's heart.
Su Muyan understood what he was thinking, and said, "Marshal, although this battle was lost, we still achieved fruitful results. As long as there are looted goods and women, Lord Qiu Liju will not blame. ”
He took a deep breath and said, "That's all for now." ”
Su Fuyan continued: "As long as the belongings and the captive women are brought back to Youbeiping smoothly, things will be easy to do. But now it is difficult to retreat, and it is not easy to take away the looted goods and women. ”
Fighting with Wang Lei, Su Muyan was already scared by Wang Lei.
In the first encounter, Gu Yu and Xiong Da were killed, and the Wuhuan cavalry was defeated; In the second encounter, Wuyan and Nanlou were killed, and the Wuhuan cavalry was completely lost, and only a few hundred people fled in disarray.
The fear of Wang Lei has risen to the same level as Bai Ma Yicong.
These two armies are not easy to mess with.
After listening to Su Muyan's words, he fell into hesitation, he was unwilling, unwilling to lead the army to defeat for the first time. But at present, the troops in his hands are only four or five hundred, and these four or five hundred people are already lost dogs who fled in panic, and have become frightened birds, and their combat effectiveness is very weak, and they are no longer able to return to the sky.
"Okay, let's withdraw from Julu County, and after returning to Zhongshan Kingdom, we will withdraw to Youbeiping with the looted goods and women."
He made up his mind with a bitter look on his face.
The army retreated and headed for the country of Zhongshan. As he retreated with his soldiers, a cavalry quietly followed. This cavalry was very far away from Badun, more than a hundred miles away, to avoid being discovered by Badun.
This cavalry is the Flying Tiger Battalion under Wang Lei.
After fighting with Wuhuan and Baima Yicong, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion suffered a fatal blow, and only more than 400 people remained. After the army rested, Wang Lei quickly replenished the soldiers and war horses, and once again replenished the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion to more than 1,000 people. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the previous Flying Tiger Battalion, with elite veterans, Wang Lei believes that this cavalry will grow up in the shortest possible time.
This time, the leaders of the troops were Wang Lei and Dian Wei.
The two led the army to attack, fiercely pursued Badun, and then quietly hid and hung behind Badun.
Its purpose was for the plundered people.
"Report!"
A sentry scout rushed back with an excited expression: "General, after the Wuhuan soldiers entered Xiaquyang County, they did not plunder everywhere, but went straight to Zhongshan Kingdom, and it seemed that they were going to retreat. ”
Wang Lei was overjoyed in his heart, he led his troops to pursue, and what he was waiting for was the retreat of Wuhuan. Once Wuhuan withdraws from Jizhou, he will definitely leave with the arrested people, this is Wang Lei's opportunity.
"Be careful and keep an eye on the situation of the Wuhuan soldiers."
Wang Lei ordered to go down and let the soldiers continue to investigate the situation in Badun.
……
Wei County, Ping'en County.
It was Tian Yu who presided over the military and political affairs of Ping'en County, and when Yuan Shao sent envoys to persuade him to surrender, Tian Yu directly cut off the heads of the envoys sent by Yuan Shao to show his ambition. Tian Yu knew that Yuan Shao was coerced by the army to kill, and with the strength of Ping'en County to resist, it would not be able to stop it in the end, but Tian Yu believed that Wang Lei would respond, and it was impossible to let Yuan Shao enter Jizhou.
Sure enough, Tian Yu's speculation was not wrong.
Soon, Wang Lei had already sent Zhang Jaw and Fu Yu to lead the army to the rescue.
Zhang Jaw and Fu Zhu, Tian Yu has a certain understanding. Zhang Jaw was previously the military commander of Jizhou, and he was the commander of the cavalry and the county commander of Ye County. Both of them are not bad at all, and now Zhang Jaw and Fu Yu led the army to the rescue, and as long as Tian Yu holds Ping'en County, coupled with Wang Lei's importance to him, the future is limitless.
Tian Yu is gambling, gambling with his life.
If Yuan Shao breaks the city first, Tian Yu's ending can be imagined, but if he keeps it, the harvest will be rich.
The county government, Tian Yu is dealing with various affairs in the city.
"Report!!"
The soldier hurriedly ran in, with a worried look on his face, and reported: "My lord, the sentry found that Yuan Shao's army was less than five miles away from the county seat, and it would soon arrive outside the county seat. ”
Tian Yu raised his head and said, "It's finally here, I've been waiting for Yuan Shao for a long time!" ”
The soldier exclaimed 'ah' in surprise, rather surprised.
Yuan Shao was afraid of everyone when he killed, worried that Ping'en County would be breached, but listening to the tone of the county commander, he was not afraid at all! When the soldier saw Tian Yu's expression, a restless heart calmed down and stopped panicking.
Tian Yu got up and took the saber and ordered: "Go, go to the city tower!" ”
The two of them left the county office one after the other, and rode towards the location of the city tower.
When they arrived at the bottom of the city, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded outside the city. Tian Yu's body stiffened, and he recovered in an instant, the expression on his face was not shocked, he turned over and dismounted, and walked up to the city tower very easily.
Outside the tower, the army was arrayed in black pressure.
The flags are unfurled, the drums are thunderous, and the majestic atmosphere is daunting.
