Chapter 237 Zang Ba's soldiers were defeated and took Mount Tai
"General, let's go~~~~" Wu Dun, the only remaining thief general behind Zang Ba, shouted loudly, seeing the sudden killing of Guo Yi's troops, even a fool knew that the general trend had gone.
Chi Wanjun, who was already passively beaten on the battlefield, was even more demoralized at this time, and when he heard the sound of collecting troops from the mountains, he hurriedly retreated backwards, for fear that if he took a step too late, he would become a ghost under Lu Bu's knife.
"Retreat to the cottage, the front army should not be confused, and must withstand Lu Bu's attack" Zang Ba saw this situation. He also knew that if he continued to fight, the whole army would be wiped out, and there was no time to think about his son's corpse at this time, and as the commander-in-chief, he had to make up his mind when necessary.
After all, Zang Ba's Chi Wan army has a large number of people, and there are nearly more than 10,000 ambush soldiers on the mountains on both sides, even if Lu Bu's soldiers are brave, it is impossible to instantly strangle the enemy, under the resistance of the front army, most of the remnants of the soldiers still smoothly withdrew to the mountain, and the ambush soldiers on both sides also slowly retreated after the main force retreated, although the losses were heavy, but after all, most of the sergeants' lives were saved.
After Guo Yi pursued from the rear for a while, he came to Lu Bu and hugged his fists and said, "General Lu is really the first hero in Bingzhou, in the face of several times the enemy army, they also killed them, lost their armor and fled, Ding Thorn Shi didn't see the wrong person~~~."
"Guo Junshou has worked hard, this time he can still save nearly seventy percent of the troops with outnumbered troops, which is already a meritorious achievement, and the rest of the matter is handed over to me, the county guard can go to the rear to rest for two days" Lu Bu nodded, although this person in front of him is his deputy commander in the army, but the actual official position is still above himself, a county guard in the hall stooped to give himself the current forward general is indeed a little aggrieved, people don't care, and they are not good at inching, after all, they are in the officialdom, and they have to talk about some rules.
"The general doesn't have to be polite, he is a rough man below, you and I don't have to worry about the rules on the scene, I didn't suffer any injuries, and I don't need to cultivate, but my front army has suffered many casualties this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover for a while, just ask the soldiers to recuperate, I will stay under the general for the time being" Guo Yi smiled heartily, Lu Bu's respect for himself can naturally be seen, and he has to show it if others give face.
"Okay, then the two armies will be united for the time being, and we will discuss it when we get to Julu."
At this time, the soldier in charge of fighting on the battlefield ran forward and said, "General Qiyu, our side suffered more than 300 casualties in this battle, and the enemy probably counted more than 5,000 dead and wounded, but the enemy's main force has withdrawn to the cottage."
"Okay~~~ Continue to investigate, don't let go of a secret sentry, knock me out~~~~" Lu Bu gave an order, and dozens of black shadows around him rushed out and rushed towards the mountains and forests.
Guo Yi looked at those black-clothed people, and secretly said in his heart, "I'm afraid these are the dead soldiers around Lu Bu, all of them are masters" Don't look at the small number of people, just these dozens of secret agents, I'm afraid they can't be trained for seven or eight years.
At this time, Zhang Liao and the others had already returned to Lu Bu's side, and when they saw that Guo Yi's troops were fine, their hearts were a little calm, and they stepped forward and said, "Master, these thieves loot officers and soldiers in broad daylight, do you want to chase them up and kill them?" to prevent future troubles".
"Don't be impatient, these people have lived here for a long time, and they are very familiar with the terrain, let's attack rashly and inevitably get ambushed, let's wait for the spies to report it, pass on my order, set up camp, and send soldiers to patrol to prevent sneak attacks" Although this thief is not in the eyes of Lu Bu, his own soldiers can't help but have scruples, after all, he is not alone, in case of ambush, the loss is immeasurable.
Deep in the mountains, a large camp was built against the mountain, and the perimeter was surrounded by heavy wooden piles, and the high fence was difficult to break through even if thousands of troops and horses were afraid, but even so, at this time, the people inside were panicked, as if even if they were ten times stronger, they could not resist the killing gods outside.
In the big tent, Zang Ba's face was gloomy, his eyes were dull, his mouth was still muttering, and he didn't know what to say, and the people next to him were even more demoralized, sitting around decadently waiting for him to wake up.
At this moment, two young men suddenly rushed into the tent, and their faces were three or five points similar to Zang Ba, and as soon as they entered the tent, they cried and shouted, "Father, my brother died tragically, this revenge cannot be avenged, give me two of us a horse, and I will definitely take the head of the Lu thief to comfort my brother's spirit ~~~~~~in the sky."
"Confused~~ You ~~~ For your father to encircle and suppress this person with the power of the whole village, and you ended up like this, even if you two go, it will only add two more lives, this revenge will be a few times for the time being, and Lu Bu will not die well in the future."
"General, at this time, Lu Bu's army is still stationed outside the mountain, we will be found by him here sooner or later, when the time comes, I'm afraid this place will be difficult to preserve, with our manpower, how can we withstand Lu Bu's divine might, not to mention that there are so many powerful characters around him, it is better to think of countermeasures as soon as possible~~~."
"Do you have any good plans, can you tell me to listen" Zang Ba looked at Sun Guan in front of him, this person used to be the first master in this Taihang Mountain, after he came, he tried three times with him before accepting this person, it is conceivable that his ability is not weak, I didn't expect to be attacked by two young generals under Lu Bu's account today, and the confidence blow is great, at this time the fighting spirit is a little slack, if you fight, it is good not to become a burden, this is still the most powerful under the account, not to mention others.
Sun Guan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "How can I do it, the general is the head of Taihang, we will naturally follow you, just do what you say."
Zang Ba smiled helplessly, "How can this head of Taihang be so easy, now that the army has been defeated, morale is completely lost, it is impossible to fight the enemy, and the rest of the way is either to defend or to go."
"Let's go? Where to go? This Taihang Mountain is the foundation of our foothold, out of the mountain, with our remnants, I am afraid that we will not be able to pass a state and county will be wiped out by the Han army."
"So what, do you want to stay here and die? Lu Bu's army may be killed at any time, do you still want to fight this devil, I don't want to" Wu Dun followed Zang Ba's side, and intuitively examined Lu Bu's terrible, not to mention fighting, even if he was close to this person, he was not willing to get close.
"Then what do you say~~~ What should I do!!" Sun Guan glared at Wu Dun, the two of them had set up their own mountains before, and no one was convinced, and at this time they disagreed, and the tension immediately became tense.
At this moment, Sun Kang, who was rectifying the soldiers outside the tent and taking care of the post-war affairs, turned over the tent, and when he saw the two of them staring at each other and glaring angrily, he immediately shouted angrily, "Shut up for me, I am still fighting at this time, I don't want to live!! “。
Everyone in the tent was like an empowerment, and immediately calmed down, there was a threat of a large army outside the village, and killing each other could only die faster, Sun Guan and Wu Dun snorted at each other and sat back in place.
"General, it's not okay to be depressed at this time, we are forced here, it's time for the fish to die and the net is broken, and if you don't make a decision, you will only be strangled and killed."
Zang Ba looked up at him and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" I want to do something now, but what? It's not like there's no way around it."
"The general doesn't have to be discouraged, when Mr. Yang left, he left a back road for the general, if he was forced to have no choice, he could choose this way."
Everyone was in high spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yang, what is the plan, please hurry up."
Yang Kang said slowly, "Mr. Yang said, the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou has just been destroyed, and the Han army will definitely go north to Jizhou to attack the thief's first horn, so this place can be used as a hiding place."
"Then why not Yuzhou or Xuzhou?"
"Because Yanzhou is full of mountains and forests, and the forests around Mount Tai are dense, which is available for us to accommodate, so it is better to go to Mount Tai according to Mr. Yang's words."
Everyone looked at Zang Ba, only to see him standing up silently at this time, slowly coming to the tent with his back to everyone, but silently reciting in his mouth, "In the end, did you rely on Yishan to save the day?" Yishan ~~~ Where are you ~~~~~~~~".
In Guo's tent, it was just after dinner, and he had nothing to do, so he called Guo Jia, the son of the clan, and the two chatted.
"Jia'er, what do you think of today's battle?" Guo Yi sat down and asked, for the nephew of this clan, he will support him at any time, because this son has excellent qualifications, and the prosperity of the clan depends on him.
Guo Jia smiled, the Guo family is not a clan, and it has withered a little in recent years, but he is not worried at all, because in his opinion, the troubled times are probably coming, and when the time comes, it will be easy to revitalize the family with his own ability, and he has this confidence.
However, at this time, you still need to be patient, and from time to time you have to deal with the teachings of these elders, "What is the opinion there, just thieves, and what great skills can there be, with the divine power of General Lu, victory is a matter of course, but the strength of their Chinese army makes me a little underestimated, and there are some shadows of the Han army in it."
"You mean, these thieves used to be the imperial army?" Guo Yi was taken aback, if it was really as Guo Jia expected, then he had to report to Lu Bu as soon as possible.
"I'm just inferring, uncle, don't take it too seriously, isn't it already victorious" Guo Jia sighed secretly in his heart, it is better not to say it, the characteristics of the imperial army are so obvious, I can't even see it, I'm afraid Lu Bu already knows.
"You're right, although it's not easy, but it's also a big victory, what do you think of our state warriors?"
Guo Jia pondered for a while and replied, "My nephew grew up in Yingchuan, and he is not very familiar with Bingzhou, this time in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my uncle specially recruited me to protect it, but in my opinion, I am afraid that the soldiers in Bingzhou are still a lot worse than other places."
Guo Yi has been here all the year round, and he is naturally unconvinced, and asks, "What is the gap~~~~ Can you tell me about it?"
"Uncle don't be angry, the number of elites in the state that my nephew has seen is scarce, this is one of them, although the quality is acceptable, but the overall gap is huge, I am afraid that the lack of soldiers will be highlighted when encountering a strong enemy, and the person who leads the troops lacks strategy, although General Lu is strong, but the way of commanding the army is complicated and cumbersome, and it is not something that he can do as a martial artist, and he will only be restrained if he is reluctant, but it will contain his strength, if Ding Tingshi has a powerful military advisor or handsome talent under his account, it may be better to liberate General Lu."
"Hehe~~~ You can really talk about it at a young age, but General Lu is powerful, I'm afraid that there are few people in the world who can compare with it, but you said that the shortage of soldiers is indeed a thing, this point will be added in the future, first exterminate the yellow scarf."
Guo Jia smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, adults generally only like to look at things with a lofty eye, and they are naturally convinced by the person they look forward to, since he doesn't believe it, then he has nothing to say, and he will naturally know in the future.
At this moment, the shouts of killing were suddenly heard outside the tent, and a herald rushed into the tent and shouted, "General~~ Oh no, the enemy wants to break through."
