Chapter 25: Yuan Shu retreats

Liang Gang, who was smashed, was bored off by Gao Ye's hand, who came closely, and directly cut off his head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Liang Gang didn't know how he died until he died. He didn't know, it didn't mean that others didn't know, especially when Gao Ye picked up Liang Gang's head and shouted "Liang Gang is dead", Yuan Shujun, who was retreating, had completely become a rout.

Gao Ye immediately led the army to chase twenty miles, and hurriedly followed up with other soldiers and horses in Liang State, and when it was night, Yuan Shu already knew the news of the fall of his vanguard and the death of Liang Gang, and Gao Ye was now encamped twenty miles away, and it seemed that he was going to fight to the death with himself.

Hearing that Liang Gang was dead, Yuan Shu no longer felt sleepy, and hurriedly summoned Zhang Xun and Le Qi, ready to ask them what they were doing now. After all, Zhang Xun is a famous general in Huainan, and Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, is very dependent on him. After Chen Wen died of illness, he took over the position of Yangzhou Assassin, and naturally he also encircled Zhang Xun. In addition, Le is also quite courageous, and he naturally has to rely on these two people at this time and listen to their opinions. Therefore, as soon as the two of them entered the big tent, Yuan Shu asked straight to the point how the two of them should deal with Gao Ye's attack.

"Now that Liang Gang was attacked by Gao Ye, he was defeated and died, and Gao Ye has already camped twenty miles away, I don't know what good strategy the two of you can have to break the enemy?"

Zhang Xun pondered for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord, although Gao Ye has won a small victory now, to be honest, his troops are insufficient. Now we still have 80,000 horses, I heard the scout report, the night is only more than 10,000, we wait for several times the strength of him, what are we afraid of? Zhang Xun saw that Yuan Shu nodded, and continued: "He already has few soldiers, and he has given up the county town of Liangguo, and wants to fight with us in the field, so the disadvantage of the army is even more obvious, how can he be our opponent?" I have heard for a long time that I use soldiers like gods at night, and when I see it today, it is nothing more than that. ”

"Otherwise, when I waited to fight Dong Zhuo together, Gao Ye was really good at using soldiers. first sent his subordinate Zhao Yun to save Sun Jian, and then inexplicably made Dong Zhuo mess up, and finally beheaded Xu Rong. Yuan Shu shook his head as he spoke, "Therefore, since he dares to come out to fight with us and others, he must have the certainty of victory." I don't know what the trick will be. ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he couldn't help frowning. What Yuan Shu said is also reasonable, and under the fame, it is not necessarily difficult to deserve. Gao Ye has such a prestige, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a vain person. In that case, what tricks can Gao Ye use? Immediately, Zhang Xun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said to Yuan Shu: "If there is really a trick, if you want to come tonight, you will come to rob the camp." He had 3,000 cavalry under his command, and it took less than a meal to reach 20 miles. If we are unprepared and he attacks the camp, this battle will naturally be defeated and unwon. ”

Yuan Shu couldn't help but nod his head again and again when he heard this, Zhang Xun was reasonable, if Gao Ye wanted to use any tricks, under the current situation, attacking the camp was naturally his first choice. Otherwise, tomorrow, his army will be directly pressed, and with the 10,000 horses in Gao Ye's hands, how can he be his opponent? Thinking about it, this is the only way to have a chance of winning. Yuan Shu immediately praised Zhang Xun a few words, and asked Zhang Xun to arrange it quickly, if Gao Ye really came to rob the camp tonight, he would teach him a lesson in whatever he said!

The night was dark, and Gao Ye led the people and horses to walk quietly on the road. A thousand cavalrymen each picked up bells and wrapped thick cloth on their horses' hooves, and the group quietly approached Yuan Shu's camp. As Zhang Xun expected, what Gao Ye is doing now is to rob the camp. After all, his subordinates are short of manpower, and it is not easy to confront Yuan Shu, who still has more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, in the field battle. No matter how brave he is, he can be ten with one, can all his soldiers be like this? Therefore, the trick has become a means that he has to use.

Zhang Xun had already led people to ambush on the left side of the camp, and on the right side, he led the troops to ambush him. The back camp is where Yuan Shu's Chinese army is located, and as for the camp, it has already been covered with things that cause fire, and when the army of Gao Ye enters, Zhang Xun will order the fire.

A scout had already come to report that he had discovered the high-night people who had come to rob the camp, which also made Zhang Xun's heart even more excited. Gao Ye is already a world-famous general, and if he can defeat him now, he will definitely become famous! And with such military exploits, it is just around the corner to suppress Qiao Rui and become the first military general under Yuan Shu's account. Now I am full of hope that Gao Ye can directly rush into the camp, and then be burned to death by himself.

Gao Ye, who was only two miles away from the camp, had already ordered everyone to prepare for an assault, and at this distance, when the war horse ran to the camp, the horse speed was completely raised. The most important thing is this distance, even if Yuan Shujun realizes that someone is stealing the camp, he has no time to react, and he will either retreat in a hurry or be captured. Therefore, after confirming that all the sergeants were ready, Gao Ye made a move with his right hand and attacked the whole army.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves naturally also came into the ears of Zhang Xun and Le Yu, with his past experience, Zhang Xun knew that the military horses of the high night were coming in an instant, and he and the others only needed to wait for the opportunity, as long as the cavalry of the high night entered the barracks, there would be no chance to go out. After all, even if Gao Ye noticed an abnormality as soon as he entered the camp, he couldn't stop immediately due to the speed of the horse. When the time comes, as soon as the rocket on his side is fired, Gao Ye and the others will immediately be buried in the fire.

Zhang Xun had been waiting for the moment when Gao Ye entered the camp, but something that surprised Zhang Xun just happened. Although Gao Ye's cavalry came straight to the north camp gate, they did not rush straight in, but under the leadership of Gao Ye, they came from the west of the camp gate to the east. The next scene surprised Zhang Xun even more, because the thousand cavalry actually rode straight on the horse one by one, bent their bows and shot arrows, and one rocket after another shot straight into their own camp. The camp was already full of fire-starters, and after this round of rockets, the entire camp began to burn violently.

What surprised Zhang Xun even more was that after Gao Ye and the others let go of a round of rockets, they didn't love to fight, and directly turned around and left in the direction they came. He and Le are all infantry, and they are already ambushed on both sides of the camp, how can they catch up at this time? What's more, Gao Ye's night attack ended in just a few minutes, and before he even reacted, the camp was already burning, and Gao Ye had already led the army to retreat.

Le who was at a loss hurriedly ordered someone to put out the fire, and not long after, even Zhang Xun and Yuan Shu's men and horses began a vigorous firefighting cause. This camp was already full of forage and tung oil, but now that the fire is together, where is it so easy to extinguish? Don't look at Yuan Shu, there are more than 80,000 people at this time, but there are still people to guard against a sneak attack again in the night! Therefore, Zhang Xun immediately ordered Rang Le to take 10,000 horses and horses to continue to guard against the attack of the high night in the north, and he took the rest of the men and horses to immediately extinguish the fire. As for Yuan Shu, his face was already unswerving at this time. After all, he and the others worked hard to calculate Gao Ye, who knew that stealing chickens would not make rice, not only did Gao Ye not burn, but he lost a lot of forage and tents in vain. The army could not rest all night, on the one hand, to guard against the attack of the night, and on the other hand, to extinguish the fire in front of them.

Although retreating at this time is the best option, because extinguishing the fire is really a waste of time, and it is easy to be ambushed by Gao Ye when you march immediately. The reason why Yuan Shu ordered the fire to fight was because the fire was now in the front camp, and the back camp was still safe and sound, and if he was evacuated, even he himself would feel a pity. Second, if you retreat suddenly, you will inevitably not be discovered by Gao Ye, and come to pursue with a tail. And the high night is obviously mainly harassment. In my own estimation, even if it was Gao Ye, I didn't expect that one of my rockets would bring such damage to the big battalion. It is estimated that Gao Ye was secretly glad at this time, and he did not rush into the camp and suffer from this fire.

Gao Ye was indeed rejoicing, but he was glad that he didn't rush into the camp headlong, he was glad that Yuan Shujun was trying to extinguish the fire.

In fact, Gao Ye had been prepared for this long before the attack on the camp. After all, no matter how you look at it, attacking the camp tonight is definitely the key to winning this battle. Because he has few soldiers, if he doesn't use such a method, how can he resist Yuan Shu's army head-on? But if he has such an idea, Zhang Xun, who is a famous general, will naturally guess it, so it is not impossible for him to come up with a plan. Therefore, when Gao Ye issued a combat mission, this first round was mainly harassment. If Zhang Xun had been prepared, his plan could have been rendered useless. If he is not prepared, he will attack again.

It turns out that Gao Ye's guess is very accurate, Zhang Xun has also been prepared, and the most hateful thing is that he actually prepared so many fire-starting things in the camp, otherwise there is really no way to explain why a round of arrow rain on his side can burn the camp like this. Fortunately, the cavalry led by himself, because of the horse harness, can be ridden and shot, otherwise with a group of infantry, I am afraid that even harassment will not be able to do it. Because after being harassed, he must not be able to escape from the encirclement of Zhang Xun and others.

By the time the sky had cleared, the fire in Yuanshu's camp had finally been completely extinguished, and the 10,000 horses were ready to return to the camp. Everyone has been busy all night, and it is the time to be tired at this time, and I may have to remind Zhang Xun that he must be careful of the attack of the high night today.

As soon as he thought of this in his heart, he knew that the sound of horses' hooves reached his ears. The frightened Le hurriedly asked everyone to prepare for the battle, but the army that had been guarding all night, where could they be able to fight at this time? It is said that the dawn is the time when people are most sleepy, and the army that has stayed up all night, at this time, they are sleepy-eyed, where is the opponent of the high night cavalry. The scattered formation of the stars could not stop the galloping horses at all. Gao Ye was like a sharp spear in front, poking it fiercely into the heart of the Le Zhijun.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Le hurriedly rode away. Le's men and horses also panicked, so they began to flee. Gao Ye led the army to kill through the enemy formation, and chased after Le tightly. This time it was not only the joy that suffered, but even Zhang Xun and Yuan Shu were also affected. The 80,000-strong army was fighting the fire last night, and Zhang Xun ordered to sleep in batches. Now in the camp, there are either tired soldiers who have been busy for half a night, or soldiers who have slept for half a night and have not yet risen. At this time, he was rushed by his own rout, and he was rushed by the cavalry of the high night, and he was in chaos.

In the sound of Gao Ye shouting "Yuan Shu is killed", Zhang Xun had to let Le Yu, who had finally escaped back, to ensure that Yuan Shu withdrew first, and he could command the army to evacuate slowly. After all, defeat is not terrible, and retreat is the end of everything.
