"Withdraw!" Gao Ran reluctantly gave the order to retreat, if it continued according to the situation on the battlefield, it would be absolutely fatal for the Jizhou army.

The night gave the wolf cavalry a raid on the Jizhou army at the same time also brought a lot of trouble to the pursuit of the Jizhou army, the soldiers of the Jizhou army are familiar with the surrounding terrain, as long as they are careful to dodge, they can still avoid the damage caused by the wolf cavalry charge.

Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry to pursue for a long time before collecting troops and returning, after cleaning the battlefield, but in the direction of Yecheng, after this battle, Zhang Liao believed that the Jizhou army supporting Yecheng had no combat effectiveness.

Of course, the Euphorbia that first appeared in the front of the Jizhou Army left a deep impression on Zhang Liao, and many wolf riders were lost in the hands of the Euphorbia, and this team finally withdrew from the battlefield.

The front that the Euphorbia can protect is extremely limited, Zhang Liao saw that it was difficult to break through the defense of the Euphorbia, so he ordered the wolf rider to bypass the Euphorbia, the armor gave the Euphorbia protection, but it slowed down their speed a lot, and Gao Ran, who was in the midst of the Euphorbia, could only watch the wolf cavalry wreak havoc in the Jizhou army.

At dawn, Gao Ran gathered about 4,000 people in a valley, and many of the soldiers looked panicked, obviously the battle of last night had had a deep impact on them.

A battle actually caused the army to lose nearly half, so that Gao Ran, who was originally high-spirited, lost his passion, and Gao Ran also understood that in fact, there were not many soldiers of the Jizhou Army who really died on the battlefield last night, and more soldiers chose to flee.

At this time, the Jizhou army did not say that it supported Yecheng, and the first reaction when he saw the wolf rider was probably to flee, how could there be the slightest combat effectiveness at all.

The wolf rode back victoriously, so that the Youzhou army was once again shocked by the combat effectiveness of the wolf horse, the Jizhou army has 8,000 people, and the wolf rider who went to the battle is only 2,000 people, although the 2,000 people of the wolf rider are cavalry, once the Jizhou army is prepared, it is very difficult to return the Jizhou army, but the wolf rider did it so easily.

On the same day, the wolf cavalry reappeared outside Yecheng, and the news that Gao Ran led reinforcements to defeat the wolf cavalry when they approached Yecheng spread throughout the city.

At first, although the family in Jizhou was a little shocked by the arrival of the Youzhou army, they didn't really take it to heart, and what was really panicked was some small families who had not seen the world, after all, the Youzhou army was less than 30,000 people, even if the Youzhou army's combat effectiveness was strong, what could it be, Jizhou at this time was not a small number of troops, and once Yuan Shao returned to the army, it would be difficult for the Youzhou army to do anything.

There are powerful cavalry in the Youzhou army, and there are also soldiers in the Jizhou army who restrain the cavalry.

In the governor's mansion, the look of the judge was full of worry, what he was worried about was the current situation in Jizhou, after Gao Ran was defeated by the Youzhou army, there would be no reinforcements in Jizhou in a short time, even if the reinforcements from other counties and counties, after getting the eight thousand Jizhou troops were repulsed, did they dare to step forward easily, and the wolf rode powerfully, and once again showed in front of the high-level leaders of Jizhou.

Ordinary people may not understand the Euphorbia, as an important strategist in Jizhou, but the trial is to understand the power of the Euphorbia, the Euphorbia is one of the cards of the Jizhou army, Yuan Shao joined the princes to attack and the state, the Euphorbia was left in the river to guard against the Youzhou army, which shows the status of the Euphorbia in Yuan Shao's mind.

In this battle, the Euphorbia was defeated.

"I don't want the wolf to ride so well." Yuan Shang couldn't help but say.

Guo Tu hurriedly said: "Although the wolf cavalry is powerful, once the lord's army returns to Yecheng, it will be the time when the Youzhou army is defeated and retreated. ”

Yuan Shang immediately realized his gaffe, and glanced at Guo Tu gratefully, as the person in charge of Jizhou at this time, he must remain calm at a critical moment, if the above person behaves in a panic, the people below will be even more panicked.

Although Yuan Shang corrected his verbal mistakes in time, the strategists in the field saw a lot of things from this confrontation between the Jizhou Army and the Youzhou Army.

If Jizhou can't have the means to restrain the wolf riders, the situation of the Jizhou army on the next battlefield will be even more unfavorable, and the appearance of an invincible army on the battlefield means very well.

Especially after the state army won a great victory against the alliance of the princes, if the Jizhou army could not avoid the battle for a long time, what kind of impact would it have on the defenders in various places, and it would invisibly make the defenders everywhere think that the Jizhou army was inferior to the Youzhou army in terms of combat effectiveness, and then the morale would be low.

When competing with Lu Bu, the Jizhou army did not take advantage of it, which was extremely fatal.

After appeasing everyone, Yuan Shang left the trial and Guo Tu behind.

"Two gentlemen, now that the Marquis of Ye is leading the soldiers and horses, they will be able to return to the city in three days, but the Youzhou army outside the city has no sign of retreat." Yuan Shangdao.

"Childe doesn't need to worry, as long as Marquis Ye returns to the city, it will be difficult for the Youzhou Army to succeed." The judge said with relief.

Guo Tu sighed secretly, he could understand Yuan Shao's worries about Yecheng, otherwise he would not have issued an order to let Gao Ran gallop to aid Yecheng, at this time, if Gao Ran led the troops and horses to attack Julu County or Zhongshan Kingdom, it would play a greater role, perhaps it was the defeat of the princes outside Huguan, which caused a lot of panic to the Jizhou army, so that Yuan Shao issued such an order.

Guo Tu suddenly felt that Jizhou was really at a critical moment, if the Youzhou army could not be repelled as soon as possible, if Lu Bu led the Hezhou army to Jizhou, what turmoil would it cause to Jizhou.

At this time, the Youzhou Army was the nail that Lu Bu planted in Jizhou, and the role of this nail cannot be ignored.

Seeing that Guo Tu was silent, Yuan Shang asked, "I wonder what Mr. Guo thinks about this?" ”

"The words of the judge are yes, the lord has been fighting for many years, how can it be that Guo Jia can deal with it." Guo Tu echoed.

The family in the city is talking about the defeat of Gao Ran by the Youzhou army, although the Youzhou army is stationed outside Yecheng, but it does not surround the city, and Yecheng is not closed in the acquisition of news.

The victory of the Youzhou army made the family's hearts float, the reason why they followed Yuan Shao was because Jizhou, which was ruled by Yuan Shao, could bring enough benefits to the family, once Yuan Shao could not keep everything in front of them, where should they go, and they took refuge in Lu Bu, which was definitely not what they wanted to see.

Do not improve the turmoil caused by the defeat of the army to Yecheng, the soldiers and horses drawn from the counties and counties of Bingzhou gathered towards Huguan, although the Bingzhou army did a very hidden job in the transfer of troops, but it did not hide the ears and eyes of the princes, and it can be seen from the mobilization of troops and horses in the state that Lu Bu did not give up the expansion action because of the victory of the alliance of the princes, and the target of the next step is very likely to be Jizhou.
