Chapter 364: Jin Hou's Good News
Mobile reading
Of course, they can only think about these in their hearts, and no one will touch Yuan Shu's bad head at this time.
Let's say that after Liu Biao led the remnants of the defeated army to return to the camp, he counted the number of people, and there were only more than 20,000 people left in the 60,000 army that went to battle, among which there were thousands of wounded, which can be called a rout.
Liu Biao's face was still a little pale, the rout of the army gave him a great impact, watching Yuan Shu's army rush up, his own army was defeated like a mountain, he even had the illusion that he was about to die on the battlefield, and Yuan Shu's army also left a shadow in his heart.
Seeing Liu Biao's panicked expression, he still did not recover from the defeat, Cao Cao said: "Today's battle is because the traitor Yuan Shu has such a sharp weapon as a bed crossbow, otherwise it will be the opponent of our army, there is no need to be depressed, our army also has 40,000 people, and there is no strength in a battle." ”
Liu Biao shook his head, "The first battle lost 40,000 people, and the soldiers were all traitors, and they were scared of the fear, even if they went out to fight, it was difficult to have results." ”
Cao Cao was a little disappointed in his heart, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as the emperor Liu Biao should cheer up at this time, to encourage the soldiers, instead of saying discouraged words, for the superior, in the face of defeat should be more calm, if the main generals are panicked, what should the soldiers below do.
"Shengshang, the Marquis of Jin led the wolf cavalry to cut off the grain route in the hinterland of the traitors, our army only needs to hold on and wait for news from the Marquis of Jin." Kuai Liang was also relieved.
Liu Biao's eyes flashed with a color of hope, now the wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu is the spiritual support of the army, as long as the grain route of Yuan Shu's army can be cut off, it will be the Han who wins this war.
"Let's stand down first, and after I think about it, I will discuss with you about fighting against the traitor." Liu Biao waved his hand tiredly.
After the princes left the big tent, Liu Biao lowered his head in frustration, Yuan Shu's strength was beyond imagination, Jingzhou's losses were so heavy, if Yuan Shu could not be broken, it is conceivable what kind of fate Jingzhou would face, the other princes just led a small number of soldiers and horses to come, naturally do not worry, but Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have a deep grudge, this time they led the coalition army to attack Yuan Shu, I am afraid that Yuan Shu who has freed up his hands will be the first to clean up Jingzhou, so this battle, he can't retreat, retreating not only means losing, More importantly, everything that is current will be lost, Jingzhou is the foundation, and there is no room for loss.
"Xeno, can the crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu succeed?" Liu Biao set his sights on Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang immediately arched his hand and said: "The saint represents the world, the traitor Yuan Shu vainly claims the mandate of heaven, although he has a small victory, it can't change the overall situation, the saint should cheer up, lead the princes to fight against Yuan Shu, and revitalize the Han Dynasty." ”
Liu Biao nodded, shook his head again, extremely contradictory in his heart, according to the deepest thoughts in his heart, he wanted to withdraw now, after this battle, Jingzhou suffered heavy losses, he was already afraid, afraid that after losing the army, Jingzhou was annexed by the princes who were eyeing each other, even if it was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was extremely uneasy about Sun Ce and Cao Cao, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, and there was still a chance to make a comeback.
"Holy Lord, the Marquis of Jin is brave and good at fighting, and he has been deep behind enemy lines for several days, and I expect that news will come soon." Kuai Liang said with relief.
"The victory or defeat of the army is on the Marquis of Jin, if the Marquis of Jin can win, he should be a general." Liu Biao said slowly.
Kuai Liang immediately persuaded: "Don't say this in front of the princes, the princes come with troops, although they are for the general righteousness, they also consider their own interests more, the general is high and powerful, and he is above the three dukes, Ye Hou wants this position many times, if the saint promises the position of the general to the Jin Hou, I am afraid that Ye Hou will be dissatisfied." ”
Liu Biao nodded, but when Lu Bu became the only pillar of his spirit, Liu Biao found that Lu Bu, who was originally unruly in his eyes, had become so cute.
A big defeat made the mood of the originally high-morale coalition soldiers fall into a trough in an instant, and the faces of the generals in the army were also a little dignified, and a trace of fear could be faintly seen.
The soldiers who returned to the army even told the soldiers stationed in the camp how powerful the bed crossbow of the Zhong family was.
Under such remarks, the morale of the coalition forces was even lowered.
Leaving the big tent, Cao Cao's face was also a little gloomy, five hundred tigers and leopards horsemen, more than 200 people were killed, nearly half of the tigers and leopards were lost on the battlefield, the tiger and leopard horses are the most elite force of the Cao army, and they have a very heavy weight in Cao Cao's mind, which is the most powerful means for the Cao army to fight against other princes, even if the number of cavalry of the Cao army has increased, but the number of tigers and leopards is still maintained at five hundred, and the blade armor used is also the best in the army.
"I hope Feng Xian can succeed, otherwise it will be difficult for the coalition forces to succeed." Cao Cao sighed in a low voice, and through Liu Biao, he could no longer see any hope of victory.
The Bingzhou army also lost 500 men in this defeat, and the cavalry lost more than 50 people, and more of them died not at the hands of Yuan Shu's army, but at the hands of the defeated coalition soldiers.
"Report, the Marquis of Jin led the wolf cavalry to burn the grain and grass of the rebel army!" The news brought by the wolf knights made the morale of the dull coalition soldiers rise slightly.
Liu Biao, who has been dying in recent days, also showed a smile, "The Marquis of Jin is really brave, he is the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Jin is a rebellious general, and the rest of the soldiers who fought with the Marquis of Jin are rewarded." ”
This is also Liu Biao's first reward since the army sent troops, after hearing Kuai Liang's advice, he felt that he should indeed take out some official positions to stimulate the determination of the princes to fight, if the princes avoid the war, then it will be Jingzhou who suffers.
And said that Lu Bu learned the news of the defeat of the coalition army and the loss of the army, and he also fell into contemplation, Yuan Shu actually hid such a sharp weapon as the bed crossbow, and the state has been secretly studying the bed crossbow, and has never broken through, although Cheng Laohan has participated in the production of the bed crossbow, but there is a world of difference between participating in the production of the bed crossbow and completing the production of the bed crossbow alone, it seems that everyone underestimates Yuan Shu, four hundred bed crossbows can indeed change the situation of a war, and he has predicted how low the morale of the coalition army will be.
Although the number of Jingzhou troops is large, the number of recruits is also relatively large, the impact of such a defeat is huge, once the morale of the coalition army is low, even if he cuts off Yuan Shu's grain and grass this time, who can be sure that the grain and grass in the city is not enough to support the next arrival of grain and grass, at such a critical moment, Yuan Shu's protection of grain and grass must be extremely strict.
