Chapter 579: We're going to Xiangyang
"Kill." As soon as Huang Zu retreated, the Liaodong army came up.
"Quick, resist, resist." Huang Zu was shocked, not long after he retreated, the other party killed him, so he hurriedly asked the army to line up to meet the enemy.
"Woohoo."
The Liaodong army rushed up, and it was a rain of arrows, and the rain of arrows was fierce, causing them to suffer a lot of losses.
"General, you can't go up, it's too dangerous." Huang Zu wanted to go to the front to block the Liaodong army, but his lieutenant quickly pulled him back.
"Hmph, Liaodong Army, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later." Huang Zu thought that he was attacked by Tai Shici before and almost died, so he didn't dare to insist on going forward.
In fact, Huang Zu was mainly angry, this time he went north, he suffered a big loss, he had to retreat, and there were people chasing and killing him later, it can be seen that he was not happy at all.
"Hey, general, the Liaodong army seems to have withdrawn." At this time, the adjutant general saw that Liaodong's army was attacking the periphery, and then retreated.
"Let's go, go up and have a look." Huang Zu also saw the Liaodong army retreating, so he took the lieutenant general and the escort to the front.
"It's too brutal." Huang Zu and his lieutenant general went to the front to see that although the Liaodong army had only been here for a while, there were many people lying in the place where the battle was fighting, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded.
The Liaodong army liked to use bows and arrows to open the way, and they suffered very heavy losses at once.
"General, the Liaodong Army has a large number of cavalry, coming and going like the wind, it is difficult for us to deal with it." The deputy general saw that there were so many dead and injured in a short time, and he kept muttering in his heart
"You must go back as soon as possible, enter the city as soon as possible, in the field, you are not the opponent of the Liaodong Army at all."
"General, do we leave the defensive troops behind, so that we can hold off the Liaodong army, and then the large army can go back first." The lieutenant general was not as direct as he said, in fact, he was going to sacrifice some people.
"No, you can't divide the troops at this time, thousands of troops can't stop the cavalry in Liaodong at all, they will only send them food." Huang Zu was still sober, he knew that his side did not have any defense methods, thousands of troops could break through in less than an hour or two, and they couldn't run far in an hour or two.
"So, what then?" The adjutant general said with great embarrassment.
"The whole army is tightly united, and as long as they catch up, we will form a circle to fight." Huang Zu could only think of a simple way in the end.
This time they went north, they were not well prepared, because they had not fought with the cavalry before, so they were not prepared to deal with the cavalry, so they were now in a passive situation.
"Quick, take advantage of the Liaodong Army not catching up, and hurry immediately." Huang Zu didn't dare to stay, and left with the army.
"Lord, Huang Zu continues on the road, shall we catch up?" Guan Yu asked.
"Chase, but don't chase too closely, hang him in the back, and occasionally go up and give him two blows." Ye Chen said.
"Okay, let's go." Xu Huang heard Ye Chen finish speaking, and he couldn't wait to chase after him, they were divided into two parts, and the two parts took turns to drive away.
Not long after Huang Zu led the people away, the army of Liaodong caught up again, and they followed far behind, which made Huang Zu very nervous, and he was careful as he walked.
"Damn, what the hell is this Liaodong Army going to do." For more than two hours, the Liaodong Army followed behind without attacking.
"General, it can't go on like this, we have to stop to rest and eat, but the army in Liaodong has been following behind." The adjutant general said to Huang Zu.
"The whole army stops and defends on the spot." After running for more than two hours, the soldier no longer has much physical strength, and he does not stop to rest, and he will not even have the strength to do so later.
"Yun Chang, Jiangxia's army has stopped, shall we kill it?" Zhao Yun asked Guan Yu and said.
"Let them take a break, it's not easy to run all the way." Guan Yu held his beard and said with a straight face.
If Huang Zu heard Guan Yu's kindness, he would probably be "moved" to tears, the enemy would be afraid of their hard work, and deliberately give them a rest and rest, what a good person this is.
But if they knew what Guan Yu was going to do next, it was estimated that they would be "moved" again.
"Well, they've already eaten, and after two bites, they should have the strength to continue running, and we'll kill them." After waiting for a while, Guan Yu said estimally.
Zhao Yun's face was a little strange, because Guan Yu's face was still as serious as before when he said this.
"Kill with so-and-so."
"Kill."
A group of cavalry stepped on the ground hard, causing the ground to shake.
"Run."
"Run."
"The Liaodong Army has killed again."
"I'm not allowed to eat."
"I'm going home."
"Let's go."
In the end, Huang Zu shouted unwillingly and continued to run with the army.
Liaodong's army has been following behind, as long as they run again, they will not care about him, as soon as they stop or slow down, Liaodong's cavalry will rush up and give a few blows.
In other words, Jiangxia's army was miserable, and every time the army in Liaodong only gave them a short meal time, let them eat a few bites, and then kill them.
Let them eat, still afraid that they will not have the strength to run.
"Haha, cool, grandma's, dare to provoke our Liaodong Army, this time it's like a dog." Xu Huang shouted happily.
Driving all the way, a group chased the Jiangxia army for two days and one night, and Ye Chen ordered the army to stop.
"Lord, why did you stop, if you rush them for two more days, you will definitely make them lose a lot of weight, and they won't be able to recover in half a month." Xu Huang is addicted to playing and wants to continue playing.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Huang Zu is already frightened, as long as we don't provoke him, he doesn't dare to be our enemy anymore, there is no need to waste time on him." ”
Ye Chen made a decision, and the others did not continue to object, they stopped and waited for a day, waiting for the infantry behind to catch up and join them.
"Let's go, let's go to Xiangyang, how can we not visit Liu Biao when we arrive in Jingzhou, this is too unreasonable, and I also want to go to Xiangyang." After everyone arrived, Ye Chen said.
"Xiangyang, lord, I heard that Xiangyang is very prosperous today, and it is the most stable and prosperous place in the entire Han Dynasty." Guo Jia said.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou would develop greatly, which of course had something to do with Liu Biao's homeopathy, but the most important thing was that the north was turbulent, a large number of people and families migrated to Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou area was relatively stable, so there would be a prosperous scene.
Jingzhou is undoubtedly the place where the families of the late Han Dynasty gathered the most, there is a saying: dozens of miles between Xiangyang and Yicheng are called "Guan Geli", and there are dozens of officials above 2,000 stone (provincial and ministerial level) who have settled here.
There are dozens of 2,000 stone officials settled here between several cities, so I am afraid that there will be more under 2,000 stones, and Jingzhou in the late Han Dynasty is definitely the place with the most families.
These families migrated in, and Jingzhou could not prosper.
