Jiao Gong's mind was indeed guessed by Bai Gongbo, he was not in a hurry to withdraw to Pingcheng for two reasons, one was that the full plan failed, and he was unwilling to kill only such a little enemy army, and he wanted to set up another ambush to expand the results of the battle with the mentality of hugging the grass and beating rabbits, and the other was that he calculated that it was impossible for the Shun army to attack Pingcheng, so when the sentry reported that the Shun army was chasing, his excited eyes lit up,

Lou Huan didn't let Jiao Gong get his wish this time, and immediately tied up the people and horses after finding out that there was an ambush in front of him, Jiao Gong was a temporary ambush, and it was impossible not to show any clues, as long as he investigated carefully, he would definitely be aware of it, and Jiao Gong also knew this, so after seeing the other party stop, he knew that most of the hiding was exposed,

This Jiao Gong is a bit of a dilemma, rush out to fight, I don't know if there are any reinforcements behind the other party, retreat, out of more than ten miles is an open field, although the number of enemy troops is small, they are all cavalry, and they can't take advantage of themselves in the wilderness, and at this time he is a little secretly regretful that he is too greedy for merit and too contemptuous of the opponent,

After holding each other for half an hour, seeing that the other party still had no intention of marching, Jiao Gong ordered the foot soldiers to quietly withdraw first.

As soon as this side moved, the sentry set up by the Shun army on the high ground waved a small flag, and Lou Huan immediately ordered someone to blow the horn to prepare for the attack.

Jiao Gong wished that the other party could attack at this time, but the Shun army only put on a posture but did not act, Jiao Gong realized that the other party was also a battle-hardened general, this was to wait for his side of the infantry to withdraw almost before attacking, this time he wanted to withdraw the infantry first The plan did not work, so he had to slow down the retreat, and the various departments took over and retreated, and this side and that side were slowly pressed in, always maintaining a safe distance,

Finally arrived at the open area, Jiao Gong ordered the cavalry to retreat step by step in the battle formation in front of the footmen, ready to meet the opponent's charge at any time, but what puzzled him was that the Shun army was still unhurried to follow as if escorted, the suspicious Jiao Gong really wanted to go over and ask them what they were going to do, to say that it was cowardice, it should not have followed so far, if it was to wait for reinforcements, the time was not short, how could the reinforcements be so slow, fortunately, in this open land is only a dozen miles away, After this next journey, the terrain will become much more favorable, so he is not very panicked, as long as he marches in formation, even if the enemy army attacks at this moment, there is nothing to fear.

But it's really tiring to walk like this, it's too uncomfortable to be on guard against the enemy's attack at all times, the soldiers of the Zhao army can't wait to step back to Pingcheng, a total of less than a hundred miles, and it was less than forty miles when it was dark.

But before the middle of the night, the urgent report from Pingcheng arrived, and when he heard that countless Shun soldiers had arrived in Pingcheng, Jiao Gong grabbed the collar of the messenger in disbelief and almost lifted him up, glaring and said: "If you dare to lie about the military situation, I will kill you, do you see clearly, is the enemy army bluffing." ”

The messenger was so frightened that he said repeatedly: "The villain has the courage to lie about the military situation, it was General Tu who defended the city who asked the villain to report like this, and the villain also saw the brigade of the Shun army in the city, all over the mountains, and it was by no means a bluff." ”

Throwing off the messenger, the green tendons on Jiao Gong's forehead couldn't help beating, he still didn't believe that the Shun army dared to go to Pingcheng, were they really not afraid of being cut off from retreat, but this messenger was a confidant of the guard general Tu Run, he recognized and held the letter symbol, the news should not be false, regardless of whether Bai Gongbo was crazy or not, now the top priority is to hurry up to save Pingcheng, he knows in his heart that there are only less than 3,000 people left, and if the enemy army attacks strongly, it will not last long,

Without further ado, he didn't care about dealing with the Shun army behind him, and ordered the army to retreat to Pingcheng at night, although it was a hasty action, Jiao Gong still made careful arrangements, Lou Huan was chased and killed twice in a row, fortunately, Jiao Gong arranged these ambushes to slow down the enemy's pursuit, so the loss of the Shun army was not large, but after the second ambush, Lou Huan really had a headache, looking at the endless night, his revenge and hatred gradually faded, this Jiao Gong really had two hits, If he chases down again, he will fall into a bigger trap at once, he has no bottom in his heart, and it is almost more than ten miles after the pursuit, and it has reached the mileage stipulated by the general, so he can take this opportunity to step down and collect the troops, think about this day It is really home,

The restless Jiao Gong led two thousand cavalry to rush through the middle of the night, and on the horse he kept thinking about why Bai Gongbo was so bold to attack Pingcheng, until he heard the shouts of killing on both sides, and he didn't understand, but he immediately understood the situation in front of him, and he was ambushed.

The Zhao army, which was sleepy and tired, was shot in a mess by a dense random arrow, and when the enemy troops on both sides rushed over, they didn't have time to reorganize the formation, this retribution came really fast, this was how they killed the Shun army in the morning, and now it was the turn of the Shun army to slaughter them in the same way,

Jiao Gong heard the shouts mixed with many strange tones when his heart was cold, he knew that it was the shouts of the soldiers, in such a terrain, his cavalry was not the opponent of the soldiers at all, it was not easy to escape, he couldn't take care of a lot, he urgently ordered everyone to retreat the same way, he didn't dare to flee to Pingcheng, in case the city was broken, it would be self-throwing, and retreating back could also fight with the three thousand foot soldiers,

In the chaos of the army, his shouts were so weak in all kinds of shouts and earth-shattering drums, only the people around him could be heard, more than 100 personal soldiers desperately protected him and fled in panic, Jiao Gong began to look back and shout, after a burst of madness, the sound of killing gradually faded away, and he didn't say a word anymore.

After running for a while, their war horses were no longer able to support, and they began to die one after another, no wonder, after running for most of the night, they have been galloping for so long, even if Jiao Gong sat down on the good horse that was one in a thousand miles, they couldn't run, and everyone had to get off their horses and go, Jiao Gong looked at the soldiers behind him by the moonlight, and there were not even two hundred people who followed, which made him heartbroken, the losses of the cavalry can be forgiven and not comparable to the foot soldiers, both people and horses have to go through a long period of training, it can be said that they are all piled up with money,

Jiao Gong knew in his heart that now was not the time to feel sorry for these, the Shun army and the soldiers could chase after him at any time, and during the march he picked a narrow road to leave a hundred soldiers to ambush on both sides, at this time the precious cavalry could only be used as foot soldiers, so that the rest of the people each had two horses, and when the horsepower recovered slightly, they could change all the way, and they might be able to escape the pursuit.

Jiao Gong's caution this time failed, because Bai Gong Bo didn't want to chase at all, Jiao Gong was cautious, Bai Gong Bo was even more cautious, and it was better to accept it when he saw it in such a dark night.
