Tian Zhao retreated under the protection of the guards and quickly retreated. However, when his cavalry retreated, there were archers in ambush on the roads on both sides, and it was impossible to retreat.

"Whew! Shout! ”

The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air kept coming.

Arrows rained down, still harvesting the lives of Youzhou soldiers.

When Tian Zhao saw this scene, he was so angry that his eyes widened, but he was helpless. He roughly estimated that Liu Xuan would ambush archers on both sides of the official road in the woods of Qingfeng Mountain, and at least thousands of soldiers would be invested to ensure that there were archers to shoot arrows.

In this way, it means that the camp in front of Liu Xuan is empty, and there are not many troops. Retreating back, there were too many archers in ambush to make it difficult to retreat. But what about rushing forward?

In Tian Zhao's mind, he suddenly thought of such a method.

In an instant, Tian Zhao made a decision.

"There was an ambush in the rear, turn around. We rushed forward, rushed over, and captured Liu Xuan alive. ”

Tian Zhao yelled and gave the order.

In fact, Tian Zhao knew that Liu Xuan was hiding in the mountains and forests, and it was impossible to capture Liu Xuan alive, and it was already a blessing in misfortune to be able to rush out and save his life. But in the unfavorable situation, he can only do this, otherwise the three thousand cavalry under his command will definitely be completely planted here after chaos. As long as he can escape, he has a chance to make a comeback.

Tian Zhao gave the order, and some of the soldiers turned around and rushed forward, but some of the soldiers didn't hear it at all or heard the order but were caught by the team and retreated, unable to turn around.

The three thousand Youzhou cavalry were still covered with bows and arrows.

Dead and wounded, still increasing.

Tian Zhao rushed forward with a part of the cavalry, and soon broke through the location where the coffin was. ran forward less than ten zhang away, and suddenly, iron locks were pulled up on the official road.

The horse rushed forward, its hooves stumbled, and its huge body fell straight forward.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

One by one, the horses fell to the ground, and Herod neighed in agony.

The sudden change disrupted the rhythm of the subsequent cavalry.

The cavalry that rushed forward was in a mess, and it was impossible to rush forward at all.

"Whew! Shout! ”

Bows and arrows are still shooting mercilessly, reaping lives.

The three thousand elite cavalry under Tian Zhaohe's command were already trapped in the encirclement, and it was difficult to break through.

In the mountains and forests, Liu Xuan and Guo Jia sat together.

"Report!"

Zhou Cang hurriedly ran over, looking excited, and said with a bang: "Lord, Tian Zhao's three thousand cavalry are all in chaos. Now, with countless casualties among these soldiers, there is no longer a threat. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "You can start a counteroffensive!" ”

Liu Xuan said: "Let go of the arrow." ”

"No!"

Zhou Cang got the order, turned around and went down to arrange.

A moment later, a screeching sound rose into the air. Along with the sound, there was a flash of fire flickering in the air.

In the mountains and forests, the soldiers who were ambushed on both sides saw the firelight, rushed out with knives, and entered the official road, covering up the three thousand Youzhou cavalry who were constantly fleeing.

The war is in full swing.

The situation is already under control.

Guo Jia rubbed his hands and said, "Under the random arrow shooting, I don't know if Tian Zhao can survive." If he didn't die, he could also use it to blackmail the Youzhou Army. If you die, you can only attack. ”

Liu Xuan said: "I hope he doesn't die, but in fact, it doesn't matter if he dies." Without Tian Zhao, the remaining 10,000 Youzhou troops are not threatened. ”

The war entered the final stage, Liu Xuan and Guo Jia left the mountains and forests and went to the camp.

Back at the camp, Liu Xuan didn't pay attention to the news, and lay down to rest.

In fact, the plan for this battle was simple: to create a situation where there was a shortage of food to the point of having to retreat. The whole plan has come to an end now.

The shouting of killing continues.

The battle was one-sided, and the soldiers continued to harvest the lives of the Youzhou soldiers.

Time passed, and the day dawned.

After Liu Xuan woke up, he practiced in the morning, and after breakfast, he called Shi A to ask about the situation. Shi A said that Xu Huang, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang had not yet returned, and were cleaning up the battlefield and counting the results.

An hour later, the sun hung high.

Xu Huang and Guan Hai led the army and escorted the captives back.

Xu Huang, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang came to the big tent, and the expressions on their faces were extremely excited.

In the battle last night, it was cool to kill, and it was transparent enough.

Liu Xuan looked at Guan Hai and asked, "Guan Hai, tell me about the battle last night." ”

Guan Haiyu reported: "Back to the lord, in the battle last night, 2,138 Youzhou soldiers were killed, 483 prisoners, and some Youzhou soldiers ran away and were not found. Of the 3,000 horses of the Youzhou cavalry, more than 2,000 horses were seriously injured and more than 600 horses were slightly injured. The horses that were seriously injured to death were all killed. Horses with minor injuries were treated. ”

There was a lot of excitement in the words.

The results of this battle were too great, and an unprecedented victory was obtained.

Liu Xuan changed his words and asked, "Have you caught Tian Zhao?" ”

Guan Hai replied, "Caught it." Don't you know that Tian Zhao is so cunning, he actually hides among the soldiers, pretending to be an ordinary soldier. It's a pity that we still found out. was arrested with him, as well as his nephew Tian Sheng. These two people are the main generals of the three thousand Youzhou elite horsemen. ”

"Good!"

Liu Xuan's eyes were full of smiles.

With Tian Zhao captured, this battle will be easier to operate. As long as Tian Zhao is in his hands, then Liu Xuan will have the capital to surrender without a fight, and he can slope the army under Tian Zhao's command.

Liu Xuan asked, "What about our losses in this battle?" ”

Guan Hai replied: "In this battle, we killed sixty-eight soldiers. The rest of the soldiers, those who were slightly wounded are not counted, and they do not affect the re-fighting. ”

Such damage is almost negligible.

Liu Xuan's expression was serious, and he ordered: "The soldiers who died in battle must be compensated." ”

Guan Hai hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, lord!" ”

Liu Xuandao: "Bring Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng up." ”

"No!"

Guan Hai gave an order, and the soldiers escorted Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng in.

The golden armor on Tian Zhao's body had long since fallen off, his face was even more blue and purple, and his hands were covered with dirt and dust, and he was embarrassed. Tian Sheng was even more bleak, he was stabbed twice, and his blood was already soaked with his clothes.

Tian Zhao saw Liu Xuan and said loudly: "Liu Xuan, if you become the king and lose the king, you will lose, and you will kill and kill." ”

Liu Xuan said: "General Tian is still so tough, it's really dislikeable. ”

Tian Zhao's chin rose slightly, looking condescending.

Liu Xuan smiled contemptuously, and wanted to clean up Tian Zhao, but he just opened his mouth to say something. He flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Call the soldiers who are executed with canes, give Tian Zhao and Tian Sheng twenty military sticks each, and beat them first and then talk about other things." ”

"No!"

The soldier went down to give the order.

A short time later, two executing soldiers walked in. In their hands, both of them held a cane the size of a goose egg. After they saluted, they stood and waited for Liu Xuan's order.
