readx; Outside the city wall of Shangma County, which is not too tall, the drizzle is flying, and dozens of cavalry outside gallop back from time to time, followed by dozens, dozens, and even hundreds, the number is different, and the defeated soldiers look slightly embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Qiong sat on the chair at the top and asked the doctor to bandage the wound on her right arm, looking calm, she didn't need to look at it, and she knew that Chen Qiong's calm appearance was definitely not in a better mood at this time.

"Lord, the battle is not effective, resulting in the defeat of the army, please surrender the lord!" Xun Yu bowed his head and looked miserable.

"Why did the military advisor say this?" Chen Qiong hurriedly took two steps forward to help Xun You up, "Our army has never fought with the Xiliang soldiers, with the momentum of breaking the yellow scarf, although the morale is high, but the soldiers have a lot of arrogance. ”

"This defeat is not a crime of war, if it weren't for the treacherous tricks of the Xiliang army and the failure to hold back the Xiliang iron cavalry, the victory or defeat is still unknown, what is the crime of the military division."

In the final analysis, although he suffered defeat this time, Xun You was able to gain insight into the ambush of the Xiliang soldiers in advance, lure the enemy to attack, and command the inferior forces to resist the superior Xiliang infantry. It was not until the Xiliang soldiers were thrown into the cavalry that they were defeated. It's already a rare thing. There was no mistake in command in this defeat.

However, this sentence also has some comforting elements for Xun You, even if the Xiliang Army does not invest in cavalry, Xun You will not last long. This is not that Xun You is incompetent, but that Xu Rong, the general of the Xiliang Army, is really powerful in commanding the troops. There is not the slightest flaw for Xun Youzui.

"Thank you for your love, but my family knows my own affairs, Xu Rong commands the army, I might as well too!" Xun You sighed to himself and said, "This battle has lost troops, the lord should temporarily avoid the edge, retreat to the county to defend himself, Ge Pi hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans have surrendered, there are many young and strong, it will not take much time, the lord can recover his strength and then choose the opportunity to go north." ”

"There is no need to retreat to Qian County, Xu Rong defeated me, so he will naturally go to Sun Jian again, and besides, I still have to contain the soldiers in Shangma County, these soldiers follow me out of Qian County, how can I abandon it lightly?" Chen Qiong waved his hand and said, "Urging Yuan Shu to urge grain and grass, funeral, and treatment of the wounded, Gongda will work more in the past few days, and I will go to boost morale." ”

"Where the responsibility lies, why work hard." Xun You bowed and said.

"Lord, lord, General Zhou is back!" There was a shout outside the house, and I saw Deng Jian striding into the house.

"What? Haha, okay, I know that Yuanfu will not leave me. Chen Qiong was overjoyed, rushed out of the house quickly, and arrived at the city gate, only to see Zhou Cang and two soldiers carrying a stretcher towards the city gate, Zhou Cang's burly figure was much more decadent than usual. The clothes and armor on his body were torn, and he obviously didn't know how many hard battles he had gone through to hold on to Shangma County.

"Yuanfu!"

"Lord, Yun Li died in battle to save someone!" When Zhou Cang saw Chen Qiong, the reckless man's eyes suddenly turned red, and he cried loudly, like an iron man who was bleeding on the battlefield without frowning, but at this time he couldn't help but cry like rain. Yu Tong blocked the gun for him in order to save him, and among the enemy army, Zhou Cang took hundreds of soldiers to carry Yu Tong all the way and fought and left. The soldiers around him continued to die in battle, were separated, and finally left the brigade, and the battlefield behind them was in chaos, and no one cared about anyone. I only knew to flee in the direction of the Xiliang army. Zhou Cang was lucky, he met Chen Dao, who was patrolling, and refused to get on the horse after Zhou Cang, so he carried Yu Tong's corpse step by step to this Shangma county.

"It is my sin not to bring them all out. The deceased is gone, Deng Jian, inform the military division, and bury the cloud ceremony. ”

Chen Qiong's body flickered, the losses in this battle were too great, more than 12,000 people at the time of departure, of which 1,500 cavalry were now less than 700. More than 10,000 infantry broke out of the encirclement, and there were less than 3,000 at this time, and the food and grass were lost. As for the most elite more than 1,000 iron guards, there are only more than 300 left. Liao Hua was seriously wounded, Xu Yan, Hu Tuo, and Yu Tong died in battle. This war is a fucking straw egg!

"There are still thousands of people in the whole army, and there are still millions of soldiers and civilians waiting for the lord to go back, and the lord should take care of his body, and he must not be too sad and hurt his body." Chen Zhi's face on horseback was as calm as ever, but a little paler than usual.

"Continue to be vigilant, try to gather the routs as much as possible, Uncle Zhi, thank you for your hard work." Chen Qiong sighed slightly, these acquaintances around her died in battle one by one, and they were obviously uncomfortable to death, but they wanted to pretend to be strong in front of these thousands of defeated soldiers, no matter how depressed their mood was, they couldn't vent their boredom, is this the price that Xiaoxiong has to pay? It seems that he is still far from the real superior.

"The lord is still sparing his life, why should he suffer in the end." Chen Qiong's cold face rarely had a hint of a smile, turned the horse's head, and galloped away with more than 20 horsemen around him.

Looking at the back of Chen Zhi's dozens of cavalry, Chen Qiong's confused expression gradually became firm. From yesterday's battle to the present, most of these subordinates just took a nap on horseback, and they were extremely tired, but they only stuck to the present because of one of their own orders, and this intensity of fatigue is very harmful to the body, but Chen Qiong now has no one under him, and the cavalry is even more pitiful, in order to ensure the safety of the main force, not to be caught off guard by the Xiliang army, Chen Qiong can use these subordinates as cattle envoys. Even for the sake of these uncomplaining subordinates, for their families, and for the hope they place on them, they must struggle hard in this troubled world.

In the next few days, Chen Qiong has been gathering the rout in Shangma County, more than 10,000 soldiers were defeated in the dark night, and only a limited number of them were really killed by the Xiliang soldiers, and a considerable part of them were scattered in the dark night and scattered all over the place. After a little bit of news about Chen Qiong, he ran over again. In four days, Chen Qiong's strength had recovered to more than 5,100 people. Although it was still a heavy loss, relying on the grain and grass delivered by Shangma County and Yuan Shu, it finally had the power to protect itself.

When Chen Qiong and his subordinates were licking their wounds in Shangma County, in Lecheng County, Nanyang County, a new war had already started.

Xu Rong was ordered by Dong Zhuo to crusade against all the princes, and naturally he would not let go of Sun Jian, who had a vendetta with Dong Zhuo. Sun Jian quelled the Liangzhou rebel Han Sui in his early years, and Bian Zhangshi strongly persuaded Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, who was ineffective at that time, and the two sides formed a grudge. Therefore, for Dong Zhuo's control of the Beijing Division, Sun Jian is most afraid of Dong Zhuo's settlement after the autumn, he knows Dong Zhuo's cruelty better than anyone else, if he does not fight and hurts Dong Zhuo, then what awaits him is the end of being exterminated.

After annexing Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi's army, Sun Jian left only a small number of soldiers to guard Wancheng, and after meeting with Yuan Shu, he led more than 23,000 troops to the north, and finally collided with the Xiliang soldiers led by Xu Rong.
