Chapter 671: I'll Slow It Out If He's in a Hurry
The 500 Heavenly Sea Camp, which was unsuspecting and was about to retreat, was coldly covered by the rain of arrows falling from its head.
The fleeing Cao army also fell under the arrows in pieces.
The two teams that were still fighting just now fell in an instant.
The wounded soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion covered the wounds of the arrows, held their shields, and lay on the ground and retreated towards the array with their legs pressed against the ground.
The dead silently endured wave after wave of arrows.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who were lucky not to be injured, dragged their wounded companions who could meet them, and retreated under the cover of shields.
Seeing that the battle situation had changed, Yan Liang hurriedly ordered: "Longbow cover!" ”
The five hundred Tianhai battalions, who had not participated in the battle, took out their longbows one after another and ran within the range of the arrows.
At the forefront were more than 100 soldiers with large shields.
Before they could run to the place, a group of Cao Jun archers shot arrows at them.
Although it was still out of the range of the feather arrows, it was difficult for the Tianhai Battalion that stepped forward to support it by half a step.
More and more soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion withdrew from the rain of arrows.
Almost every step back, a companion fell.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who returned to the range of arrows, almost all had feathered arrows stuck in their bodies.
They didn't care to pull out the arrows, and their eyes were full of anger, staring at Cao Jun opposite.
Yan Liang's troops were raided by Cao's army with arrows.
Yuan Xu got the news and immediately ordered the whole army to press.
The main force of the Tianhai battalion was not very far away from Cao's army.
Seeing Yuan Xu's army coming, Yu Ban shouted: "Stop archery, the whole army retreats!" ”
Cao Jun suddenly attacked. and abruptly retreated.
Caught off guard, Yan Liang didn't even react to lead the army in pursuit.
Wait for him to come to his senses. Cao Jun has gone far.
Just as he was about to lead the remnants to chase, a fast horse galloped over.
"General Yan can't be pursued!" The shadow of the wind on horseback gallops on horseback. While shouting loudly: "Childe has an order, no pursuit!" ”
was already ready to catch up, and hearing him shout like this, Yan Liang had to stop his horse.
Looking at the Cao army withdrawing like a tide, he carried a halberd, and couldn't wait to kill the enemy immediately.
Yuan Xu led the army to arrive, and Yan Liang dismounted and came to him.
Standing in front of Yuan Xuma, Yan Liang half-knelt on the ground and said: "A certain person has been entrusted by a negative son, resulting in the loss of soldiers." Please also ask the son to condemn the crime! ”
"How many soldiers have been lost?" Yuan Xu asked.
"More than 100 people died, and more than 300 people were injured......"
"The general fell for the enemy's strategy, and he also had something to do with a certain unclear confession." Yuan Xu said: "After that, you must be cautious when you march. ”
Yuan Xu didn't intend to investigate his fault, Yan Liang was stunned: "Childe doesn't want to be guilty......"
"On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common." Yuan Xu said: "What is the general's crime? ”
Yan Liangzhi had mixed feelings in his heart, bowed his head and said: "There is an unshirkable responsibility in this battle, and the son does not want to surrender, but he does not dare to get lucky!" I also hope that Gongzi Yun will lead the army forward. Pursue Cao Jun! ”
"When Cao's army retreats, it will definitely defend the dangerous places." Yuan Xu said: "The general will lead the troops to go, and he will definitely fall into the trap!" ”
Yuan Xu refused to send troops easily, and Yan Liang did not dare to argue.
I can't wait to be killed by Cao Jun immediately. He had to impose patience.
"The order went down, and the army advanced slowly, step by step." Yuan Xu instructed the guard: "No order has been given." No one is allowed to go to war without permission! ”
Cao Jun fled quickly, but Tianhai Camp slowed down the pursuit.
Retreat more than 20 miles. Seeing that Tianhaiying didn't follow, Li Dian said: "Guo Gong really knows Yuan Xianxin well. I was sure that he wouldn't pursue! ”
"Guo Gong and Yuan Xianxin have fought several times, and they have suffered a lot of losses in the past." Yu Ban said: "Except for him, I'm afraid that no one knows anything about Yuan Xianxin!" ”
Pointing to the hill not far away, Li Dian said: "Gong Guo ordered me to camp here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, even if Yuan Xianxin came here, he could resist for several months." ”
"Without further ado, give the order immediately." Yu Ban instructed the guards: "The army is camped on its backs! ”
Cao's army retreated, but Yuan Xu did not lead his army in pursuit.
Yan Liang suffered a big loss, and all the generals were angry in their hearts, and the voice of asking for war was boiling for a while.
Inside the handsome tent, Yuan Xu sat upright.
The generals stood in front of him, one by one waiting for him to give the order with great anticipation.
"Childe!" Wen Chou said: "We have come here, Cao's army retreated, if you don't pursue, you are afraid of missing the opportunity." ”
"Who are you waiting for to cook?" Yuan Xu did not agree, but asked.
The generals looked at each other, and they didn't know why he asked such a question.
"Runan Cao Army, although the soldiers are not as elite as the Tianhai Battalion, they are more numerous than us." Yuan Xu said: "Guo Jia is like this, he just wants to lead our army forward, he can rely on the mountains and rivers to fight a decisive battle with our army." A certain army was stationed here, just because Cao Jun and others were anxious. ”
"Cooking dishes, there are stir-frying, cooking, frying, boiling. What Guo Jia wanted was to fry it in a big fire, and to induce our army to come forward by retreating, in order to fry it thoroughly. But a certain should be simmered and boiled. Yuan Xu said: "You are not angry in your heart, and you want to pursue, it is his way." ”
The generals were confused one by one, but they did not withdraw from the tent.
Tian Feng got up and said with a smile: "Generals, the words of the son have come to this point, are you still waiting?" ”
Knowing that Yuan Xu would not send troops, the generals retreated.
After they left, Tian Feng said: "Son, General Yan lost the first battle, and it is reasonable for the generals to be eager to fight. ”
"Somebody knows." Yuan Xu said: "If our army wants to attack Xuchang, it must break the enemy in Runan. Guo Jia has already made a plan, just wait for me to come forward. Knowing that it is due, how can someone be willing to go up? ”
Thirty miles away from Yuan Xu's army.
More than 200 rangers camped under the leadership of Yuan Kang.
Fearing that Cao Jun would find out their whereabouts, Yuan Kang and the others carried dry food with them and did not make a fire to cook for several days.
Nibbling on dry food and looking at the place where Cao's army was camped, Yuan Kang said: "I've been waiting for a few days now, but Xianxin has never launched an attack on Cao's army, what is he waiting for?" ”
"The fifth prince is like this, there must be a deep meaning." A ranger close to him said, "Childe doesn't need to be anxious, he should act in a few days." ”
"Days, days!" Looking at the rice balls in his hand, Yuan Kang said: "Eat these all day long, I'm afraid that when it comes to attacking Cao Jun, the brothers won't even be able to lift their swords!" ”
The Ranger sighed.
The days of waiting are extremely difficult.
They are not afraid of death, they are afraid of waiting before the big war!
"Childe!" Yuan Kang took a bite of the rice ball, and another ranger flew over: "Found Cao Jun scout!" ”
"Where are the scouts?" Yuan Kang stood up suddenly.
Pointing in the direction where the scout was found, the Ranger said, "It's just a mile away from me. ”
"Did you find me?"
"I have already found out, I waited to chase after me, but he ran away!" (To be continued.) )
