Chapter 456: Playing Yuan Shao Again
Zhang He's heart immediately cooled, and half of his anger was immediately extinguished.
Zhang Liao became more and more courageous, and the stormy sword shadow frantically slashed towards Zhang He, and in a blink of an eye, he seized the upper hand.
"Could it be that I, Zhang He, really want to end up in a fiasco today?" Zhang He had sad and indignant thoughts in his heart, wanting to be defeated, but he was unwilling.
Zhang Liao saw that he wanted to slip away, and when he made a move, he sarcastically said: "Zhang He, in vain, you call yourself a famous general in Hebei, and you have the courage to fight me to the death, so you don't want to escape." ”
Humiliation, blatant humiliation!
Zhang He's anger was ignited again, and under the damage to his dignity, he was eager to take his life and fight Zhang Liao to the death to maintain his dignity.
In the next second, the screams of his own soldiers sounded around him, and another soldier fell beside him.
In an instant, Zhang He's remaining fighting spirit was gone.
It's important to save your life, your life is gone, what is the use of the dignity of a famous general!
Thinking of this, Zhang He fiercely attacked a few times, turned his horse and jumped out of the battle group and fled.
Zhang Liao chased after him and scolded: "Zhang He, you have the courage to run away and leave the dog's life!" ”
Zhang He vomited blood in his heart, but he didn't dare to look back, he only shouted: "Zhang Liao, I will spare your dog's life today, and I will take your dog's head another day!" ”
He screamed fiercely, but he desperately slapped the war horse under his crotch and fled from the wind.
When a person escapes for his life, the energy that bursts out is amazing, Zhang He fled like this, Zhang Liao was gradually left behind, and he could no longer catch up.
At this time, above the mound, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops sounded.
Su Zhe stood on the high slope and clearly appreciated the grand occasion of his iron cavalry crushing the enemy army, and also admired the picture of tens of thousands of enemy troops being killed by blood ghosts crying wolf.
This battle suffered a heavy defeat to the Yuan army, and slapped Yuan Shao hard, the goal has been achieved, there is no need to chase it hard, in case Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive behind, it will not be good.
Su Zhe was not greedy either, and decisively ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
Zhang Liao's Pegasus galloped up the high slope and shouted: "Prime Minister, that Yan Liang and Zhang He are famous generals of the Yuan army, if you can get rid of them, it is equivalent to cutting off Yuan Shao's left and right hands, why did the prime minister collect his troops?" ”
Su Zhe said lightly: "Those two people are superb in martial arts, they want to escape, they can't stay, since they have severely damaged the enemy, it is the best policy to take it when they see it." ”
Zhang Liao came to his senses, but only sighed regretfully.
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned.
In this battle, the Yuan army suffered nearly 7,000 casualties, and the 6,000 cavalry brought by Zhang He also lost more than half.
Since the start of the war, the first battle of Yanjin, plus today's battle, the total loss of Yuan's army has reached more than 15,000 people.
After these two battles, the number of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses will also drop to about 180,000, although he still has an advantage, but this advantage has shrunk a lot.
However, the advantage is still an advantage after all, at present, Yuan Shao's main force is already in Pingqiu City, and the army may be killed at any time, and it is safe to withdraw to Guandu as soon as possible.
So, Su Zhe immediately ordered the soldiers to take the rich booty and immediately withdraw to the Guandu barrier.
Tens of thousands of soldiers carried the great victory and returned to Guandu with high morale.
Su Zhe also sat down the high slope with the red rabbit, and when he looked back at the north, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "Yuan Shao, I was hit hard again, it must feel very cool, haha~~"
In the sarcastic laughter, Su Zhe returned to the south and was full of spirit.
……
North of Guandu, Pingqiu City.
The main force of the Yuan army, which was more than 100,000, had already entered this small city, and the dense camps around the city were overwhelming.
In the lobby of the county government, Yuan Shaogao sat on it, drinking wine to relieve fatigue.
Although he was still confident and domineering, a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows from time to time.
After all, with the lesson of Yanjin last time, Yuan Shao also understood Su Zhe's "deceit", and he was a little jealous in his heart.
This time, Yan Liangzhong planned to fight, although he sent Zhang He to rescue, but it is still unknown whether he can be saved.
If he doesn't succeed, it will be another defeat, and his face will be hit again, which Yuan Shao does not want to see.
Guo Tu saw Yuan Shao's thoughts, so he smiled and said with relief: "The lord doesn't need to worry, even if Yan Liang is ambushed by the Su thief, as soon as Zhang He's six thousand iron horsemen arrive, he will just attack inside and outside, break the Su thief, and tell him to lift a stone and hit his own feet." ”
The worried look on Yuan Shao's face eased, nodded and sneered: "I'm right, Su Thief thinks he is scheming, how could he have thought that I had seen through his tricks, and today happened to be a big victory, washing away the shame of Yanjin's defeat." ”
The left and right strategists and generals joined one after another, and the lobby was filled with a pleasant atmosphere of ambition.
At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall entered and reported that Yan Liang and Zhang He, the two generals, had returned and were waiting outside the hall.
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up.
Guo Tu was busy and said with a smile: "This must be that the two of them have broken the Su thief and returned victoriously, congratulations to the lord for winning the first victory of the Southern Expedition." ”
Yuan Shao laughed, flicked his hand and said, "Quick, quickly send two meritorious men in." ”
As he spoke, Yuan Shao also picked up his wine glass and wanted to give the second general wine as a reward.
A moment later, Yan Liang and Zhang He walked into the lobby, but they couldn't see the spirit of victory on their bodies, but their expressions were gloomy and heavy.
The momentum of returning from victory is clearly a disgraced face that has suffered defeat.
Yuan Shao saw the two of them like this, his face changed slightly, and he felt a hint of foreboding.
Plop!
The two knelt on the ground, looked ashamed, and said silently: "The last general is defeated, please punish the lord!" ”
Defeated!
The two of them were defeated!
Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, and his expression froze in the moment of anger.
Guo Tu and other military generals were also stunned one by one, suddenly thinking that they had heard it wrong.
Dead.
Yuan Shao clenched the wine glass in his hand, the joints of his bones clicked, and the flames of anger burned in his eyes, almost attacking.
He took a few breaths, forcibly held back, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang He, didn't I want you to save Yan Liang, why are you still defeated?" ”
Zhang He said with a bitter face: "The last general led the army to the battlefield, saw General Yan was surrounded, and immediately led the iron cavalry to kill it, and he had already killed the enemy army, and he was about to turn defeat into victory. ”
Cavalry?
Su Zhe even had cavalry?
Yuan Shao's expression was shocked, and he glared at the strategists urgently, and shouted: "When did the Su thief have thousands of cavalry, why don't you have any information?" ”
The strategists had bitter faces, and they were ashamed one by one.
Frustrated, he sighed: "When the Su thief fought in the Central Plains, he didn't use cavalry, thinking that this cavalry was secretly trained by him, specifically for today's battle, to kill us by surprise, this person's layout is far-reaching, it is really terrifying." ”
Yuan Shao's heart was shocked again, and he couldn't help glaring at Yan Liang angrily, and shouted: "Yan Liang, I told you to strictly guard Pingqiu City and not act without authorization, why did you go out of the city to pursue the enemy army, and fell into the ambush of the Su thieves, causing me to lose my troops and lose my generals?" ”
"The last general, the last general......" Yan Liang was ashamed and ashamed, squeaky and didn't know how to answer.
Yuan Shao was so angry that his face turned blue, his face was full of disappointment, and he pointed at the Wenwu and scolded: "You all claim to be the heroes of the world, but you have been repeatedly played by that thief, I am really disappointed in you, extremely disappointed!" ”
