Chapter 198: Painful Lessons
Gao Yuan led an army of 20,000 and pursued Yuan Shao's more than 30,000 people. He had 40,000 soldiers and horses in Huguan, and the rest of the troops went to recruit and surrender troops.
In fact, there were only 40,000 people left in Gao Yuan's entire main force, and the rest of the tens of thousands of troops were killed in previous battles with Yuan Shao. However, Gao Yuan's army fought valiantly, killing and wounding as many as 200,000 or 300,000 Yuan troops. Of course, this is also inseparable from the strategy of Gao Yuan and his military advisors.
20,000 people chasing 30,000 people, it stands to reason that Yuan Shao's side should still have the ability to resist, but the morale of Yuan's army was cleared, and he did not dare to turn back and fight in the rout.
"Yuan Benchu, don't go!" Gao Yuan took the lead, and everywhere he went, the enemy surrendered.
In fact, Gao Yuan is also shouting blindly, after all, it is a big night, and he can't see clearly.
But Yuan Shao took it seriously, he just thought that Gao Yuan was near the left, although he was old and riding on a horse, he was also out of breath, and said in his heart I am not afraid, stay and wait for death. "Drive~drive~." Yuan Shao knocked out the horse's buttocks with blood and fled as fast as he could. But the shouting of killing is getting closer and closer, which makes Yuan Shao, who has been through a hundred battles, know that Gao Yuan is really about to catch up with him.
"Yuan Shao, you can't run." Gao Yuan, who struggled to catch up, finally saw Yuan Shao who was running away in the moonlight, and shouted: "You stop for me, surrender honestly, this general will never harm you." ”
For Gao Yuan, there are also many benefits to catching Yuan Shao, so he is telling the truth.
However, Yuan Shao was scared enough, and shouted in the chaos: "Who will save me, who will stop Gao Mengyan!" ”
At the critical moment, it was still fierce generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who used a knife and a gun, and shouted to the scattered soldiers: "Follow me to block Gao Mengyan and cover the retreat of the lord!" ”
The two men held their weapons and turned around to stop their horses. I saw that none of the soldiers around him stopped, and shouted: "Protect the lord, the lord goes there, let's go there to protect." "Bang, all ran over.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou's faces suddenly became embarrassed, but they still stiffened. Facing the arrival of the state wolf ride.
In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, only two weapons were heard, and the two were drowned in the wolf cavalry.
Yuan Shao naturally found that there were no soldiers and horses to turn back, and his heart and gall were broken, just when he thought he was going to die tonight. Suddenly, the cannon roared, and countless soldiers and horses were killed separately from the north and south.
"It's over, there are still ambushes!" When Yuan Shao found that there were ambushes ahead, he covered his face.
Unbeknownst to him, there were calls for familiarity. "Lord, go quickly, Gao Mengyan and I will stop him!"
When I looked closely, it was Tian Feng. At that time, Yuan Shao's tears came out and shouted: "Yuan Hao, regret not being at the beginning, Yuan Hao, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Tian Feng was still very relieved when he heard this, after all, Yuan Shao in the past. That's all a swollen face and a fat man, let alone apologize. If you don't kill you, you're burning high incense. Tian Feng hurriedly shouted: "Jiang Yiqu, you hurry up and escort the lord back to Dazhai, and the rest of the people will lay down a defensive formation on the spot." After the soldiers and horses on the left and right rush to disrupt the lofty troops, we will surround and kill them on three sides! ”
Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran away.
It is said that Gao Yuan was about to catch up with Yuan Shao, and suddenly there were enemy troops on the left and right. The momentum was very strong, and after the side was forced to slow down, the two sides entered a state of melee at that time.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were originally surrounded, were overjoyed, and a burst of shouts attracted a lot of Yuan troops. In this way, the new force plus the generals, and the number of them. It is inseparable from the killing of the high and distant army.
Compared with Yuan Shao, Gao Yuan has too many fewer troops in terms of overall strength, and he doesn't know how many enemies have come. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Yuan Shao, there were too many unnecessary casualties, so he immediately chose Mingjin to retreat.
Yuan Jun came to rescue Yuan Shao, and when he saw Gao Yuan retreating, he did not chase after Tian Feng's order.
When Gao Yuan turned back depressedly and came to Huguan, Sima Yi and others caught him, he smiled when he heard the return, "Collected 60,000 surrendered soldiers?" Good, good, great! ”
The generals were also overjoyed, and said in their hearts that in this battle, 70,000 people went out of the pass, and the soldiers did not decrease, but 30,000 more.
Sima Yi was also pondering, and said in his heart that he would stick to the pot pass in the future, and lead Yuan Shao to attack. Maybe the 100,000 army will be beaten to hundreds of thousands.
Not to mention that Gao Yuanjun and his ministers happily returned to Huguan, it is said that Yuan Shao returned to his own Dazhai.
Yuan Shao was defeated again, and the 150,000 army went out, and more than 50,000 returned. If it weren't for Tian Feng and others to save him, his life would probably be gone.
This Yuan Shao was angry, if he had been before, he would have smashed it and scolded him. However, Yuan Shao was too shocked today, and he was weak, so he just softened on the seat and sighed.
The ministers were dumbfounded, and they were mentally prepared to be scolded. There was no scolding here, but I was even more ashamed.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, and when they came back, they suddenly realized. After some discussion, I felt that I couldn't fight like this. Fighting back and forth, Gao Yuan's power has not weakened, but it has grown stronger and stronger. This can't be done, if this is fought, it will not be able to suppress the annexation.
"If you use the soldiers and horses consumed in Gao Yuan's hands, they will be used in the Central Plains and Jiangnan ......." Fu Zhu glanced at Tian Feng, which means that it is estimated that Jiangdong and Cao Cao's Henan Guanzhong region will be all taken. He stretched out three fingers, "300,000 people before and after, it's gone." ”
When Tian Feng heard this, he shuddered all over, although he already knew this number, but it sounded scary enough, "Yes, the 300,000 army before and after was defeated by Gao Mengyan like this." If it weren't for his late rise, there might be no situation now. ”
Therefore, the two Yuan family military advisors believe that they must not waste their strength on Gao Yuan's side anymore. If you continue to fight, you may not be able to suppress it.
So, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu began to help Yuan Shao analyze the current situation.
Tian Feng said: "Lord, everything now is because of the scheme. If it is to defend instead of attacking, Gao Mengyan's strength is not enough to attack the city at all! ”
"For example, in Yecheng, our army only needs 100,000, take strict precautions, and don't give Gao Mengyan a chance to steal the city." How many troops does he need to be able to storm it? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand? And how many soldiers and horses does he have? ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Yuan Shao also had some spirits and gestured to continue.
Fu Zhu said: "The most important thing to do now is to control the front line and not give Gao Yuan a chance to get out of the pot." In the frontier county town of the first line of Bingzhou, a heavy garrison was arranged. Moreover, there is a possibility that the previous Warrior Fortress was breached from the inside. The population policy should be more strictly enforced, and everyone should be issued with an identity certificate to enter and exit the city. And, to unite with the local scholars, Lizheng. Not only must you have an ID card, but you also need a large household in your place of residence and be identified in order to enter. ”
"In this way, Gao Yuan will not be able to send people into the interior to cause sabotage. If he wants to enter the army, he needs to storm the county seats. (To be continued......)
