Under the bloody battle, there were still nearly 2,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Xu Chu glanced at the young general Chen Zhi with tight lips next to him in surprise, at this time the long mao in Chen Zhi's hand had already been replaced by a spear, but the body of the gun was already covered with blood, and even the hand holding it was a little slippery, Xu Chu fought with Xiliang Tieqi for a while, knowing the difficulty of these enemy horses, it seems that Chen Zhi's martial arts have risen a lot recently.

"Go to the south of the village, the lord is already there to answer the so-and-so." Chen Zhi saw the soldiers of the brigade coming out one after another, and he was inexplicably relieved in his heart.

Xu Chu nodded and led the crowd to ride away.

Whoosh!

The cavalry on the opposite side slid over the edge of the infantry array led by Chen Qiong like a loach that did not slip through the hands, and threw down a rain of arrows, and when Chen Qiong ordered to fight back, the cavalry on the opposite side had already ridden back.

Fuck, it's cunning! Chen Qiong scolded in a low voice, and ordered the infantry to retreat to the village, and the cavalry was safely connected to complete the task.

"Whew!" At the same time, the horn of the troops sounded on the opposite side.

"General, this is just when our army has the upper hand, why are you retreating?" The next general asked puzzled.

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Our army came from afar, with a great victory, so it attacked directly. However, when the soldiers were tired and failed to win the first battle, they should be withdrawn and repaired to avoid more casualties. Xu Rong looked at the Yuzhou military village in the distance and said indifferently, "This county guards Chen Qiong too much, and there are hundreds of thousands of thieves who break the yellow turban, and they use soldiers in a certain way, and they really live up to their reputation." It is difficult to take it in a hurry. ”

"Can you be sure of breaking the enemy? Changsha Sun Jian has occupied Nanyang at this time, annexed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi's army, at this time Sun Jian has more than 20,000 troops, still above the general, Shanyang Yuan Shu also holds soldiers and horses, if the two reinforcements come up, want to break Chen Qiong, I am afraid there is no chance. The general said again.

"How hard is it to break!" Xu Rong dropped this sentence, and directly stepped forward, leading the army to retreat and repair.

"Finally retreated!" The soldiers who had been fighting hard around the military village for several hours breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Yellow Turban Army that had been wiped out was really far behind the Xiliang soldiers.

The soldiers sat on the ground with their butts on their butts, and the brigade of soldiers behind stepped forward, repaired the broken guardrails, and re-nailed them into the ground. The open space in front of the military fortress was re-sprinkled with tribulus terrestris. The remnants of the deer and the horses were also trimmed.

The Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side retreated methodically at the sound of the horn.

"Tonight, the three watches will make dinner, and the soldiers will attack the camp at night after they are full!" Chen Qiong returned to the military village and ordered with a blank face. Ni Mei's knew that the crusade against Dong Zhuo would meet such a tricky opponent, so she announced the crusade against Dong Zhuo later. Damn, history only said that Dong Zhuo was beaten away, but it didn't say that Dong Zhuo's army was so difficult.

"But the lord thinks it's raining tonight, and he plans to take advantage of the rain at night?" Outside, Xun Yu hurriedly came and asked.

"Exactly." Chen Qiong nodded, ants can be seen everywhere in the military village, earthworms are dense, and the weather is dull, which is a sign before the rain.

"Lord, the enemy general Xu Rong saw that the morale had retreated slightly, and the lord's army was eager to take it, so he immediately retreated. It can be seen that it is cautious in the use of troops, and there are no flaws to be found in the marching formation. There will be no chance for the lord to attack the camp, the lord is still inferior to the Xiliang soldiers, and it may not be easy to attack the camp. Xun You dissuaded.

"Xiliang's army is large, and there are fewer defeats and more defeats in head-to-head battles, so what can I do?" Chen Qiong frowned, this Xiliang soldier is above his Yuzhou soldiers in terms of equipment and morale, not to mention that there are nearly multiple more elite Xiliang iron cavalry, the main general is still a cautious guy, so many factors add up, it is really difficult to deal with.

"Withdraw the troops overnight, set up ambushes along the way, and go around Maxian County." Xun You said with a flickering eye.

"What do you mean is to make a detour to Wancheng, let the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian stand in front, the two tigers will fight and there will be an injury, and after the decisive battle between the two armies, I will come out to pick up the cheapest?" Chen Qiong suddenly understood.

"The lord is wise! The enemy generals have no flaws in their use of troops and strong troops, and the lord cannot hope to break the enemy by chance, but will be taken advantage of by the enemy. The only way to do this is to rely on external forces. Xun You arched his hand and said, Chen Qiong saved him a lot of tongue at one point.

"Haha, okay, I drilled a dead end, so according to Gongda's words, I will pull out the camp tonight and go to Shangma County, Sun Jian put me together in Wancheng last time, and this time I will let him spit it out." Chen Qiong laughed when she heard this, in the end, she is a scholar, and this conspiracy is difficult to guard.

"However, Xu Rong may not let the lord withdraw easily, and he must send powerful soldiers and horses along the way to support the main retreat." Xun You reminded.

"Today's Xiliang soldiers are attacking the city, I still have dozens of strong crossbows that have not been used, which are prepared for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and I originally planned to break the enemy when I attacked the camp today. If Xu Rong lets me go, or plans to intercept me, he will teach him to come and go. Chen Qiong said murderously.

That night, it began to drizzle. Zhoucang, Liaohua, and Xunyou each took one to retreat to Shangma County under the cover of the rain.

"Stop!" Xun You sat on the horse, and by the faint light of the fire, he saw the footprints on the ground change his complexion.

"Strategist, why did you stop?" Zhou Cang asked puzzled.

"There are ambushes on the road ahead, you look at the footprints on the ground, if there is no large army of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to leave these many marks." Xun You's single phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered at the night in the distance.

"What? Ambushes? Isn't the lord dangerous? Zhou Cang's face changed.

"There is Xu Chu on the lord's side, and Chen is guarded by the two generals, so it will be fine. Form a formation on the spot, send a small force to lure the enemy, as long as we can hold off the Xiliang soldiers, the lord can then come and break the ambush. Xun You, the white-faced scholar, said with a murderous tone.

"Whoa!" Zhou Cang immediately sent two small forces to explore the road in front and make a big noise, and the large army behind formed a formation and moved slowly.

"Hey, the Yuzhou soldiers are here, release the arrows!" The Xiliang army who was ambushed on the side of the road roared, and after letting go of the more than 200 people in front, he immediately ordered an attack.

"Raise your shield!" The sound of arrows breaking through the air in the rainy night is like a locust coming, and Zhu Jin, the general who walked in front, shouted loudly!

Bang bang bang ...

Arrows carrying rain are only inaccurate in the night sky, but they can't hold up many arrows. In the faint firelight, only the sound of arrows flying on all sides was heard, and Zhu Jin and the soldiers squatted on the ground back to back, trying their best to shrink their bodies behind the shield. However, the soldier behind him was not very lucky, and he shot the stray arrow in the toe, and screamed in pain.

"Straight lady thief, don't give Lao Tzu a chance to catch this bird Xiliang soldier, otherwise he will be killed by his mother!" The soldier with the injured toe cursed.
