Chapter 168: Zhang Xiu is ambushed
Jia Xu snatched thousands of carriages from the barracks, and did not choose the direction Zhao Yun took, but chose another path.
In this way, as long as the rut marks left on the road are cleaned up, the Xiliang soldiers will chase in the direction where Zhao Yun left when they chase after them, which gives Jia Xu the opportunity to retreat with a large amount of supplies.
Mu Yi led 10,000 cavalry to fight bloodily, dragging Zhang Ji to death, and did not give him a chance to chase after Jia Xu.
The two sides kept fighting, and Mu Yi took the lead and killed a pair from the Xiliang army formation.
Restrained the war horse, the flag bearer erected Mu Yi's banner, as long as it was the soldiers under Mu Yi who had not died in battle, they all moved closer to Mu Yi at this time, assembled again, and formed a new charging formation.
Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew also erected a big banner to gather the soldiers and horses, and the two sides launched a new round of charge.
"Kill!"
The five-hook god flying silver spear in Mu Yi's hand pointed to the sky, and thousands of cavalry followed, and the swords and guns in their hands desperately beckoned to the enemy.
Hedged several times in a row, and Mu Yi dragged the Xiliang soldiers for most of the hour.
After the last charge, Mu Yi directly asked people to put up a banner, rode his horse and galloped, and took the remaining cavalry away from the battlefield.
Uncle Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew turned the horse's head and was preparing to gather troops and horses to launch a new round of charge. But looking back, Mu Yi was not ready to rush to kill again at all, but directly urged the horse to flee.
This scene almost didn't make Zhang Ji so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood, it's too shameless, right? Even if you want to run, you can say hello!
If it is a charge again and again, Zhang Ji will also be out of the way, as long as he can consume a large number of Mu Yi's men and horses, when Lu Bu comes back, Mu Yi will definitely be unable to escape.
But now it's good, Jia Xu has snatched a lot of supplies, and now Mu Yi is also preparing to escape, how can Zhang Ji not be in a hurry?
"Soldiers and horses on the hour, don't run away from Mu Yi!" Zhang Ji is out of the way, and he has to chase Mu Yi with his men and horses no matter what.
There were 20,000 Xiliang soldiers left behind in the barracks, and He Mu Yi rushed to kill several times in a row, and about five or six thousand died, and there were still more than 10,000 horses and horses able to continue fighting at this time.
So Zhang Ji is ready to take everyone to chase after Mu Yi, as long as Mu Yi can be left, even if he loses the materials, Dong Zhuo will not blame himself.
Zhang Xiu seemed to see Zhang Ji's thoughts, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Uncle must not!" In case Mu Yi has a back hand, when we go to chase Mu Yi, the military camp is attacked again, and all the materials escorted by the army will fall into Mu Yi's hands! It's better for the child to go and catch up, my uncle stays in the army, even if Mu Yi has a back hand, we won't lose all the supplies. ”
Zhang Ji pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, the reason is very simple, the 10,000 cavalry led by Mu Yi died almost four or five thousand after several consecutive charges, and now it is only a little more than five thousand at most, and it can't make much waves on the main road of Hangu. After all, the main road in Hangu is Dong Zhuo's territory, Mu Yi is alone in the depths, there are no reinforcements, no grain and grass, they can't run far at all.
At that moment, Zhang Ji nodded and agreed, and asked Zhang Xiu to lead 8,000 cavalry to chase Mu Yi, while he stayed in the barracks to prevent Mu Yi from going and returning.
Zhang Ji thought that as long as they could catch up with Mu Yi, Jia Xu's infantry would not be able to escape from the pursuit of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with a large amount of supplies.
Mu Yi led the soldiers all the way to run wildly, probably escaped for more than ten miles, and only stopped when he came to a canyon.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains on both sides of the canyon are densely forested, and the sound of birds can be faintly heard in the silent valley.
Mu Yi reined in his horse and looked back at the already tired soldiers, feeling a pain in his heart.
After just one battle, Mu Yi lost almost 10,000 cavalry.
Zhao Yun and Lu Bu fought a battle, with four or five thousand casualties, and Mu Yi and Zhang Ji lost another four or five thousand in a battle. Such huge casualties are really difficult for Mu Yi, who is in his infancy, to accept.
"Lord, Uncle Zhang Ji's nephew may chase after him in a short time, should we start a fight with him or evacuate as soon as possible to join General Zhao and the others?" Huang Zhong urged Ma to come to Mu Yi and asked.
Mu Yi squinted his eyes slightly, looked around for a moment, and then said, "There are so many brothers who have died, and you have to let out this evil breath if you say anything!" Tell the brothers to lie in ambush in the woods on both sides of the valley, and shoot them with arrows as soon as the pursuers arrive! ”
"Whoa!"
……
Zhang Xiu led the men and horses to chase all the way, and when they reached the canyon, they immediately stopped.
Zhang Xiu has been fighting with Zhang Ji for many years, and he still understands the truth of Feng Lin Mojin.
Although it is said that this is on Dong Zhuo's territory, if Mu Yi ambushes soldiers in the mountains and forests, he may still suffer heavy losses.
As far as the eye could see, the valley was silent, not even the sound of insects and birds. What is even more suspicious is that if Mu Yi retreats from the front, how can there not be even a trace of dust raised by thousands of cavalry?
In this way, Zhang Xiu's doubts in his heart were even stronger, and he carefully observed the woods on both sides of the valley.
I saw a group of frightened birds flying up in the mountains and forests, and at that moment, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to hesitate and ordered: "There is an ambush!" Retreat ......"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of bowstrings was remembered in the woods on both sides.
Immediately afterward, a dense stream of arrows rained down on thousands of people in the valley.
"Woo Woo ......"
"Ah...... My thighs ......"
"Run, there is an ambush ......"
The thousands of cavalry led by Zhang Xiu were suddenly ambushed, and one by one they only cared about running around, desperately returning to the original way.
At this time, where is there anyone who cares about Mu Yi, and they all choose to save their lives.
Zhang Xiu didn't mention how aggrieved he was, he thought he could catch up with Mu Yi, who knew that this guy was too damaged, and he actually set up an ambush on the way to retreat, this time it was good, not only did he not catch up with Mu Yi, but he was ambushed, and under the merciless shooting of arrows in the woods on both sides of the valley, he immediately lost one or two thousand people.
After several rounds of crossbow firing in a row, Zhang Xiu withdrew from the valley with the remnants of the defeated generals.
When Zhang Xiu withdrew from the valley, the soldiers in ambush in the woods on both sides revealed their figures.
Seeing this, Mu Yi ordered: "Clean up the battlefield, and those who are not dead will make up for it!" Put away the arrows, pick the uninjured war horse and bring it, and let the brothers change on the way! ”
"Whoa!"
……
Originally, the target of Zhao Yun's retreat all the way was Maotou Cliff, because there was an ambush by Gao Shun there.
But it backfired, and before he arrived at Maotou Cliff, Lu Bu caught up with Zhao Yun.
If it is said that the cavalry under Zhao Yun alone, it is not that there is no chance to evacuate. However, Wang Sanluo, who robbed more than 1,000 truckloads of supplies, were all infantry, his movement was slow, and the mountain roads were bumpy and difficult to walk, so he was caught up by Lu Bu.
In order to allow the infantry to evacuate to Maotou Cliff as soon as possible with supplies, Zhao Yun could only turn his horse's head and face Lu Bu head-on.
At this time, Zhao Yun's situation was quite bad, with only more than 5,000 cavalry under his command, while Lu Bu now had tens of thousands of cavalry. More importantly, the person who led the troops was Lu Bu, accompanied by Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.
Although these people are nothing in Zhao Yun's eyes, there is also a Lu Bu who is traveling with them, which has to worry Zhao Yun!
"The second more is sent, No. 1, ask for votes, there will be a recommendation next week, I hope the brothers will support the list, to be honest, what does it feel like to be on the list, I don't know yet?
