Chapter 108: A Distant Raid

The tactics of Gao Yuan's army against Yuan's army can also be called sparrow warfare.

This tactic requires the unity of the military and the people, so Yuan Shao has never encountered this tactic before. He was completely enraged, and like the devils who were constantly harassed by our army and civilians in later generations, he began a sweep in the mountains.

He swore that he would kill all the people who helped Gao Yuan, and not one of them would be left, so that the hatred in his heart could be erased.

This made Yuan Jun completely stop, and thousands of people entered the mountains to sweep.

In the face of superior forces, the enemy can be better destroyed in mobile warfare. However, the enemy began to counterattack in groups, and it was inevitable that there would be unnecessary losses. The lofty military and civilian squads hidden in the mountains everywhere could only retreat in the face of the surging Yuan army.

Yuan Shao personally led the team to a nearby village.

"Report ~ Lord! There was not a single person in the village. ”

Yuan Shao didn't expect that there was no one, and he shouted with nowhere to vent his anger: "Set fire, burn it all for me, burn it!" ”

"Wait!" Just when Yuan Shao looked at him angrily, he pointed out: "Lord, look! ”

Although there is no one in the village, on the wall at the entrance of the village, there is a big letter: The origin of the fourth and third princes, destroying the homes of the people, do the ancestors of the three princes in your family know about it? The people of the world will definitely know.

After Yuan Shao saw it, his face changed greatly, looking at the tone between the lines, only one person in the whole world could say it.

Fu Zhu hurriedly said: "If the village is destroyed, the matter will spread, and in the future, it will definitely be spurned and resisted by the people of the whole world. ”

Yuan Shaotie's face was blue.

In fact, Fu Zhu had long wanted to stop Yuan Shao from doing something to the people, and at this moment he said: "The lord is angry, there is no one here, and he can't afford to lose his prestige for this." ”

After all, Yuan Shao is not a foreigner like the Xiongnu, he is a person who wants to be an emperor, and if he wants to dominate the world, he must win the hearts of the people, so he can't bear the stigma of bullying the people. After frustration and persuasion, Yuan Shao, who calmed down for a while, although he was still angry, still canceled the military order to encircle and suppress the people in the mountains.

This toss, when Yuan Jun gathered again, it was already afternoon. In half a day, under the harassment of Gao Yuanjun, Yuan Jun also walked out for five or six miles. Yuan Shao didn't have any way, which made him almost crazy. He immediately conveyed a new order, marched with all his might, and quickly crossed the mountains to reach the city of Huguan.

With the sound of rumbling footsteps, Yuan Jun began to march in the mountains again. On the surrounding mountains, the squads of the Gao Yuan Army began to approach again and wait for the opportunity. However, due to the repeated attacks on the Yuan army, there had been a profound lesson, so the subsequent results of Gao Yuan's army were not very good.

Although Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang and others led their teams to block, due to the small number of people, it was difficult for Yuan's army to stop the enemy after they were prepared.

As the distance from Huguan City got closer and closer, this gave Yuan Shao hope. He knew very well that as long as he broke through the mountains and entered the plains, Gao Yuan's means would be useless.

Five miles ahead of Yuan's army, Gao Yuan recalled Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Zhou Cang, and gathered another 2,000 soldiers and horses.

The results of the annihilation of more than 10,000 enemies are already known to everyone. Zhao Yun and the others were convinced, and said in unison: "The military advisor has a clever plan." ”

Sima Yi was also pleased, but said: "The credit is not mine, it depends on the popularity of the lord." ”

With the support of the people, the fighters of the Gao Yuan Army soared more than three times, and only then did there be a huge sniper in the mountains. It would be difficult to achieve such results if there were only armies and no civilians.

However, Gao Yuan was not satisfied with the results of today's battle, he said: "The Yuan army is heavily guarded, and the speed of the march has been accelerated, if the current situation continues, even if Xu Huang and Yu Ban succeed, the Yuan army is very likely to break through the Huguan area." ”

Sima Yi thought about it and said: "If Yuan Benchu breaks through the Huguan Mountains, he will be able to get supplies in the densely populated plains of our army, then even if the two generals Xu Huang and Yu Ban succeed, it will be the same as if they did not achieve the results of the battle, and our army will not be able to drive Yuan Benchu out of the state." ”

The generals returned to reality from joy, and now the pressure on the Gao Yuan army is still huge, which comes from the enemy being too strong. The High Reach Army destroyed twice as many enemies as itself, but only one-tenth as many enemies.

A tenth of the losses is not enough to break the enemy's bones.

Just when everyone didn't know how to deal with the future situation, Gao Yuan said: "We gave Yuan Benchu a few big raids to force him to stop today. In this way, if Xu Huang and Yu Ban can succeed. Yuan Benchu, who wasted too much time, lost the opportunity to enter my hinterland. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun reminded: "Lord, there are a lot of secret posts in the Yuan army, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of a large-scale raid. ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, you can order the squads in the ambush in front of you to hunt and kill Yuan Jun's horses and secret sentinels." ”

……

Yuan Jun's side.

Yuan Shao, who had not been attacked for a long time, regained a lot of calm, and said: "There are still thirty miles to be able to leave the Huguan Mountains, and we will not go to Huguan City, and we will directly kill Jinyang, what is the situation ahead?" ”

"Report! Lord, something is wrong, the scouts and sentry posts in front of our army have been shot by the enemy hidden in the mountains! ”

"What!" Yuan Shao suddenly showed dissatisfaction with his horse exploration troops.

Frustrated, his face suddenly changed, and he said: "This must be Gao Mengyan's intention, our army has lost its eyes and ears, we must be careful." ”

Before he finished speaking, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing from the direction of the forward.

It is said that Wen Chou led the forward march, and with the sound of horses' hooves that shook the ground, a very large cavalry force appeared in front of him.

"Meng Yan!" Wen Chou recognized Gao Yuan at a glance.

Gao Yuan painted a halberd in his hand, "Brother Wen Chou, Yuan Benchu is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, he does big things and regrets his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits, it is better to follow me and achieve great things together!" ”

Wen Scandal's face changed greatly, and when he mentioned it, he said, "Meng Yanxiu wants to say more, eat me with a knife!" ”

Subsequently, Gao Yuan led 2,000 wolf horsemen and launched a surprise attack on Yuan's army. Due to the annihilation of the cavalry of the Yuan army at Pingxingling, the Yuan army was all infantry and could not resist the assault of the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou.

However, Gao Yuan's troops were too small to go too deep, and after a single blow, he successfully killed more than 2,000 people in the vanguard of Yuan's army, and immediately began to retreat.

"Chase quickly, the whole army pursues! Exploring the horse first! When Yuan Shao heard that it was Gao Yuan who led the troops, his anger was indescribable, and he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue quickly, but he still kept quite calm and sent a scout horse to avoid being ambushed.

The cavalry came and went like the wind.

After a while, "Lord, run away!" The horses were all shot by the enemies hidden in the mountains! ”

"Then don't chase it, lest there be an ambush."

"My lord, our army has lost three thousand men."

Yuan Shao was very angry, but he was helpless against Gao Yuan's tactics, and said angrily: "Speed up the march, speed up the march!" ”

Yuan Jun re-embarked on the road, and due to the long stretch of the mountain team, the rear team had not yet taken a foothold. Around the forward, for a while, gongs and drums were noisy, trumpets and cannons rang out, red flags were unfurled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Yuan Shao, who was worried about countermeasures, didn't expect Gao Yuan to go fast, and he would come back quickly. Shocked by the sound, pondering his fright, he almost fell off his horse, and instinctively shouted: "The big thing is not good, and the ambush is in the ambush!" ”

Frustrated, he wiped his sweat and said, "Lord, Gao Yuan doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and it will definitely not be an ambush!"

Yuan Shao suddenly realized at this time, and shouted, yes, yes, it must be harassment again, quickly organize a counterattack! ”

It's just that two or three minutes later, the flags and drums died down everywhere, and only Yuan Jun was left in the mountains, holding his weapons and waiting for the enemy, and looking around in horror. For a while, the terrible mountain quiet, coupled with the dead corpse and blood, can scare the timid to death.

The Yuan family's loss statistics were soon reported to Yuan Shao.

"It's not a good thing, my lord, three thousand people died!"

Yuan Shao suddenly felt bad and grabbed his beard violently. At this rate, by the time he walked out of the mountains, his soldiers and horses would be almost dead.
