Chapter 531: Yuan Shao escaped

"Lord, is this Yan Liang crazy, there are still tens of thousands of their troops in this military camp who were entangled by Han Sheng and did not escape." Dian Wei was also very surprised to see them set fire to the camp.

"Let us go, lest we be burned."

They set fire to the camp, and Zhang Yu was also helpless and had no choice but to retreat.

Of course Yan Liang is not crazy, these people trapped in the camp are surrounded by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, as long as they wait for Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to come up, none of them can escape, and when Huang Zhong is freed, then they can't stop it.

On the other side, Yuan Shao led people all the way to defeat.

Until Wen Chou and Gao Ran arrived, while sorting out the team, they continued to flee for their lives.

At this time, they only had to flee for their lives, although they did not know how many troops had escaped, but the situation must be very bad.

"Lord, my subordinates have long judged that this is a conspiracy of Zhang Yu, but some people have been bewitching the lord, and the harmed lord has suffered such a big defeat." On the way to escape, Guo Tu did not forget to continue to slander.

The judge on the side was also afraid of Yuan Shao's investigation, so he said: "Exactly, Zhang Yu has already planned all this, but some people just don't see it, or have ulterior motives." ”

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng's faces were extremely gloomy, but they didn't say a word, and it was the two of them who were talking to Guo Tu.

At that time, the 300,000 army surrounded the city, so there was no reason not to fight.

But at this time they failed, and they lost so badly that it was useless to say anything.

Yuan Shao glanced at Fu Zhi and Tian Feng viciously, and then did not speak, and continued to hurry.

Under the sorting out of Wen Chou and Gao Ran, they finally did not make a mess, but after sorting out the team, they found that the 500,000 army was only about 200,000 at this time.

"Gao Lan, you take 50,000 people to set up defenses here to answer Yan Liang and General Ju Yi." Wen Chou said.

Gao Ran received the order and led people to start arming.

Wen Chou continued to lead people to flee for their lives.

Wen Chou sorted out another 50,000 cavalry, which was about 50,000 cavalry left for them.

"Lord, you retreat with the cavalry first, and your subordinates and others stay behind to block Zhang Yu and them." Wen Chou said to Yuan Shao.

"How can I leave the army and flee for my life, I am determined to take the army and fight Zhang Yu to the death here." Yuan Shao said loudly.

"No, my lord."

"Yes, my lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and after we go back, we will organize soldiers and horses and make a comeback." Guo Tu said.

Several other aides also persuaded him.

Everyone understands that Yuan Shao wants to stay, he just needs a step down.

"Okay, then wait for me to go back, and then organize soldiers and horses to kill back." Under the persuasion of everyone, Yuan Shao could only agree, and then complied with everyone's opinions and led people to retreat.

Yuan Shao left first with the cavalry, and Wen Chou continued to hurry with the rest of the people.

Saying that, Yan Liang set fire to the camp, and then quickly retreated with Ju Yi.

It's hard to say how long this fire can hold back, so they can only retreat quickly.

On Zhang Yu's side, after the fire burned, Zhang Yu led people to withdraw, and then joined forces with Huang Zhong to kill the enemy troops who were blocked by the fire on the other side.

Most of these people were from other city gates, and after receiving the news of the retreat, they wanted to come over to join Yuan Shao, but the fire had already burned, they were blocked, and then they were killed with Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses.

Although these soldiers and horses were numerous, they had no backbone, and they were divided and surrounded by several generals under Zhang Yu, and then slowly took them to kill.

Zhang Yu and the others took a few hours to surrender these soldiers and horses.

Half of the soldiers and horses were killed directly, and half of the soldiers and horses were forced to land.

In this battle, Zhang Yu and the others won completely.

Yuan Shao's army of 500,000 came over, but only ran back about 2,780,000, with a loss of nearly half.

The grain and grass of the 500,000-strong army were burned or lost.

Zhang Yu and the others also grabbed a large amount of supplies.

The grain and grass in the camp were burned, but some soldiers and horses were also stationed at the other city gates, and they also prepared some grain, grass and equipment, which were cheaper than Zhang Yu.

"Lord, should we kill the past, Yuan Shao'er must not be able to run far at this time." Dian Wei said.

Zhang Yu said: "Don't worry, they can't run far, let's tidy up here first and let the soldiers rest and recuperate." ”

It will take three or five days to run out of Liaoxi County, so Zhang Yu really doesn't need to worry about this moment, anyway, most of them are cavalry.

Zhang Yu and the others began to clean up the battlefield and count the gains and losses.

In this battle, Zhang Yu and they lost more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and captured more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuan army, as for how many Yuan troops they killed, it is not clear, but at least more than 150,000, or even more.

Zhang Yu was very happy when he heard the battle damage, this was a big victory.

With special incendiary bombs and grenades, Yuan Jun was caught off guard.

Actually, these things are not very powerful.

But they didn't see it, they weren't prepared, and all of a sudden it was a mess.

The huge explosion was not very powerful, and at most it overturned three or five people, but the soldiers would be afraid, scared, and run around.

At the same time, a large bottle of alcohol smashed over, and the whole person burned, how terrifying is this.

Especially the ancients were superstitious and did not understand the principle.

I thought that Zhang Yu had used some demon technique, which increased their fear.

Moreover, what war horses are most afraid of is the sound of fire and sound, both of which are their natural enemies.

Under several factors, although Yuan Jun's defense was very good, it was still a complete defeat.

After resting for two hours, Zhang Yu set off with all the cavalry, and then Zhang Liao and Tai Shici also set off, and as for the battlefield, it was handed over to the people in the city to deal with.

With the soldiers and horses Zhang Yu continued to chase.

On the way, Yan Liangwen Chou and the others had already withdrawn, but in some key places, a few soldiers and horses were still left to stop Zhang Yu and them.

They put up barriers on the road to prevent them from passing.

This did have an effect, a lot of wood and stones were placed on the narrow road, and it would take a lot of time for Zhang Yu and them to move away.

Zhang Yu and they kept chasing, and a few days later, Yuan Shao's army fled to Youbeiping County, and Zhang Yu did not block them on the road.

This is also helpless, Yuan Shao still has more than 200,000 troops, Zhang Yu must gather the army and maintain a good state before he dares to catch up.

Yuan Jun is fully capable of ambushing on the road, and Zhang Yu can't chase after him desperately.

Not to mention the others, there were also formed armies in the Yuan army, especially Juyi's Xiandeng Dead Soldiers.

However, Zhang Yu quickly caught up, Yuan Shao's front foot just arrived in Youbeiping, and Zhang Yu immediately chased after Youbeiping.

Yuan Shao ran for a few days, and he arrived two days first, because he was a cavalryman.

After arriving, Yuan Shao began to get angry, first of all, he liquidated Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, put the two people in prison, and then escorted them back to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao is abandoning his responsibilities, pushing the responsibility to his subordinates, and maintaining his own image.

But his approach is too low-level.
