Chapter 406 Continued Harassment
However, this time the Jizhou cavalry did not let them leave so smoothly.
They actually shot a second wave of feather arrows at those fleeing soldiers, and the faces of those Yuan Shu soldiers who were on the way to escape immediately turned pale.
Could it be that the Jizhou army feels that too many people have been spared, and now they are ready to close this only way of life?
At this time, some of the Yuan Shu soldiers who saw the rain of arrows coming towards them suddenly opened their eyes that had been closed in despair.
They were extremely pleasantly surprised to find that they had not been harmed in the slightest.
Could it be that the Jizhou cavalry actually missed this time, otherwise why didn't they suffer any attacks?
Just when they were secretly wondering, suddenly there was a Yuan Shu sergeant who seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he shouted in great surprise:
"Brethren, the people of Jizhou only attack those with weapons in their hands. Everyone threw away their weapons and ran again, so that the Jizhou army should not attack us again! “
After saying that, this guy continued to run forward with his bare hands, and for a while, the eyes of countless Yuan Shu soldiers were focused on him.
When he saw that this guy had really run away, more Yuan Shu soldiers immediately joined the ranks of deserters.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shu felt black in front of him, the Jizhou Army, a group of bastards who killed a thousand knives, where did they not guard against their own people and cut off their back road?
They are guarding against it, they have already defended the realm, they only let those unarmed soldiers escape, that is, they are preventing those who have escaped from gathering again.
These guys even thought of this, how did they do it, and how did Liu Yuan, that bastard, train his subordinates?
Why are the soldiers under Liu Yuan's command so shrewd, they just didn't hear anyone give them instructions, how could these guys be so tacit?
At this time, Yan Xiang had already rushed to Yuan Shu's side, and he hurriedly gave an order while hurrying over, and he actually took over Yuan Shu's command temporarily.
However, with the addition of Le Yan Xiang, the increase in the rout of Yuan Shu's army slowed down a bit.
But this is only a palliative, not a cure, if things continue to develop like this, Yuan Shu will become the commander of the light pole in less than an hour.
The grim situation made Yan Xiang jump to his feet in a hurry, and at this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that their friendly forces had formed a cavalry army and were rushing towards him quickly.
As long as he can force the Jizhou army a little and let them have a gap in their attack, he will be sure to prevent the rout from continuing to appear, so that he can also recover some losses for the lord.
The cavalry of the coalition army did not live up to Yan Xiang's expectations, and after a quarter of an hour, they came to the vicinity of Yuan Shujun.
As soon as they approached, the Jizhou cavalry immediately stopped attacking.
Then these bastards turned around and quickly withdrew into the distance like a group of extremely slippery loaches, which left the cavalry units of the Princes' Alliance who had just arrived in the dust.
Wei Yan, the temporary commander of the cavalry, hatefully slammed the big knife in his hand on the ground, and a spark appeared on the ground at that time.
Now he can't wait to catch up with his wings and teach the other party a hard lesson.
But the other party didn't even leave him the slightest chance.
This made him feel like a punch that had been accumulating for a long time and smashed on the cotton, and this feeling of aggrieved made him feel stuffy in his chest for a while.
However, he was not carried away by the anger, Wei Yan knew that he must not pursue now, and once he launched the pursuit, it was very likely that he would fall into the trap set by the enemy.
After Wei Yan eased his emotions a little, he came to Yuan Shu's side with his personal guards.
After a few words of conversation with Yuan Shu, Wei Yan ordered the disbandment of the temporarily organized cavalry troops.
Just when the cavalry of the princes from all walks of life had just returned to their own army, suddenly Yuan Shao's men and horses on the other side of Yuan Shu were in chaos.
Those hateful bastards turned around and continued to attack Yuan Shaojun.
At that time, Cao Cao and the others were angry, and they immediately ordered the formation of a cavalry army again.
And ordered that this time it must be entangled with the men and horses of the Jizhou army, so that they can annihilate these hateful bastards later!
However, because the coalition army was a temporary cavalry unit, the cavalry quality of each army was uneven, which made the Jizhou cavalry leave again very calmly.
This time, the person who was teased by the Jizhou cavalry was replaced by Wen Ping, who was more peaceful than Wei Yan, and it was not easy to be controlled by anger.
After he found out that he had been tricked, he just smiled helplessly, and then returned to the main coalition with his temporary subordinates.
But this time, he didn't dare to disband the temporary troops under his command again, who knows when those hateful Jizhou troops will come again.
Rather than organize the manpower at that time, it is better to keep this temporary structure now.
Wen Ping's idea was agreed by most of the princes, and at this special moment, these princes, who usually treat the cavalry under their command as a pain in the eyeballs, have let go of all their scruples.
They knew that at this time, they could only ensure their safety if they were twisted into a rope.
As long as they can reach their camp smoothly, then those Jizhou cavalry will not pose any threat to them.
Sure enough, after discovering that their cavalry units had not been disbanded, those Jizhou cavalry seemed to have chosen to retreat, and they did not harass them in any subsequent time.
But as the sun gradually set, all the princes raised their hearts to their throats.
They knew that with the generals of the night, the Jizhou cavalry would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity easily.
The night will be their best cover, and those bastards who have been stabbed will definitely take advantage of the night to attack them.
Once they can't think of any good way to prevent the other party's attack, then they will most likely be directly defeated by this small force of the other side!
At this time, Xu Shu under Liu Bei proposed a solution.
He had the princes on the periphery light bonfires at the periphery of their men, and sent a certain number of men to watch the night.
As long as the Jizhou cavalry dares to come, they will definitely be discovered by their people on night duty, and the distance of 100 zhang can also make their people make certain preparations.
As long as they can pick up the talisman round shield placed on the side of their body, they can form a certain protective ability.
This way they can minimize losses and give their men some time to rest.
However, this is only on the defensive side, in terms of offense, Xu Shu ordered the temporarily formed cavalry troops to always be vigilant, as long as there is the slightest change they must be dispatched immediately.
As long as they can survive tonight, they will be able to return to the camp tomorrow in the morning.
At that time, their safety will be fully guaranteed, and their own cavalry troops who have stayed up all night will also have time to recover their physical strength!
