Chapter 155: Retreat as Advance

"Yes, I ask my brother to retreat."

After Zhou Yu took a deep breath, he said seriously.

"Retreat? How do I return? Return to Mayi, or return to Yanmen Pass? ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, but he understood that he was afraid that Zhou Yu's words were not so simple, and his eyes were staring at Zhou Yu tightly, waiting for his next words.

"Retreat, defeat all the way, and retreat until the Yanmen Pass. In this way, when there is sixty percent certainty, it can win in one fell swoop, and it can also lead to the division of the Huns, and under the internal and external troubles, the Huns will not be the trouble of my Han in a few years. ”

Zhou Yu understood the danger in his plan very well, so he took a deep breath before continuing.

"Now our army is weak and has to come up with a strange plan to respond, as the lord said, now the Huns want to target our army, if they are deadlocked here, then they will still work together, but if we slowly retreat, they will divide and march."

"Do you mean to advance by retreating and breaking each one? The cavalry can chase the foot is to have the upper hand, even if there is an ambush in advance, the Hun cavalry can also follow, once there is a change, it is evacuation, and it can't be caught at all, as for the division of troops and attack, it is more likely to be seized by the other party, how to get it? ”

Wei Tao's face was a little heavy, although he trusted Xun You and Zhou Yu, it was impossible for Wei Tao to let everything go.

Moreover, such a retreat will be a great blow to morale, and the slightest carelessness will turn into a real defeat.

"We are also aware of the concerns of the lord, but it is not difficult for us to retreat."

At this time, Xun You just spoke.

"But secretly moved the people of Mayi to Yanmen Pass, and the lord had already ordered this matter to go down. Then we will paralyze the Huns with a bluff. Then the drumstick is tied to the sheep's foot and the drum is beaten. Then he got out of it. Although there is a distance between Ma Yi and Yanmen Pass, it is not necessarily impossible to reach it in one day by the method of rapid marching, even if the Xiongnu have fast horses, but it still takes a lot of time to assemble the army, and it is not a matter of three moments to really chase it. ”

"And we can still push a few generals back to lead the army, although it is difficult to see results in ambushes with footsteps. But now there are a lot of horses in our army, although the men of the state are not as good as the Huns. But there is no shortage of riding skills. ”

At this time, Zhou Yu also opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Although it is still not comparable to the Huns, it is enough to temporarily retreat the Huns."

Seeing Zhou Yu and Xun Yu working together like this, Wei Tao also fell into deep thought.

In fact, when the two spoke, Wei Tao already understood what they wanted, but this plan was a bit dangerous, and if they accidentally handed over all the troops behind the palace, they would even let the Hun cavalry unite again.

So even Wei Tao had to think about how to act.

At this time, Zhou Yu and Xun You also stopped talking, after all, this is the most decisive decision still has to be made by Wei Tao himself.

After a long while, Wei Tao breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Gongjin and Gongda, I naturally trust you two wholeheartedly. Now that you have this plan, do it. If it succeeds, you should make the first contribution this time! ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Trust in Wei Tao. Both Zhou Yu and Xun Yu felt a burst of excitement in their hearts.

The Xiongnu were not accustomed to plotting, so Zhou Yu's plan was implemented very smoothly, and they first sent people to alarm the Xiongnu with drums.

However, after being alarmed, the Huns only strengthened their vigilance and patrol, and even had a sense of 'I don't listen to you when you beat the drum'.

And Wei Tao ordered people to retreat secretly, and then tied a few sheep to the drum and beat them constantly, as if Wei Tao and others were still stationed in the barracks.

In fact, the Xiongnu's reaction was faster than Zhou Yu and the others expected.

Of course, this is actually no wonder Zhou Yu and the others, who would have thought that after being attacked by Wei Tao once, Qiang Qu was also very unwilling in his heart, and he was thinking about the counter-sneak attack.

However, although Qiang Qu also made a discovery, if he wanted to let him pursue Wei Tao alone, he would not dare, and he had suffered losses twice before, which had already made Qiang Qu feel terrified.

Although notifying the other Huns has more or less weakened the momentum of Qiangqu, it has to be said that many Huns moved, even Wei Tao was still worried in his heart.

"Lord, the Huns have been divided into several teams to chase after you, and please retreat quickly."

This time, Wei Tao still did not retreat first, but led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, as well as the cavalry under his own command, to intercept the enemy all the way.

Of course, Wei Tao still assigned another way, but it was headed by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Pan Feng as deputies, and he also led a cavalry to intercept it.

"Which Huns are coming to us?"

Wei Tao ignored Zhao Yun's kindness, but asked very simply.

"Looking at the flag, it should be the people of the Qiangqu all the way, it seems that the lord is really the nemesis of the Qiangqu. I have already explored the road to the Qiang Canal, and its march is rather slow, and a large number of rangers have been dispatched. ”

For Wei Tao to ignore his suggestion, Zhao Yun had already prepared, and immediately replied.

"And it's not just that, the Xiongnu are not only quite contradictory among the tribes, but also the army of the Qiangqu is also unstable, I think some of its men and horses seem to be faintly dissociated, and the contact with each other is extremely sparse, it should be the impact of the last time Nayufro escaped alone."

Zhao Yun's ability is indeed not bad, Wei Tao sent him out to investigate, and he basically understood all the situations.

"It seems that this Hun is not very good."

Wei Tao smiled coldly, and asked Zhao Yun casually.

"Zilong, what do you suggest?"

Because Zhao Yun did not lead the army alone before, even if he was in Jizhou with Zhou Yu at that time, he actually followed Zhang Liao to go on the expedition, although he already had a lot of experience in the battle array, but even Wei Tao did not dare to order him to lead an army alone.

"Lord, since the Hun army is faintly divided, why not attack an army alone to divide it? Look at it in the clouds. If we attack and kill Qiangqu and only send someone to contain Fuluo. It is very likely that Na Yuvro ignored Qiangqu. ”

"Oh?"

Wei Tao's eyes lit up slightly. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhao Yun to answer like this.

"Yes, I have heard from two military advisors that Qiangqu has two sons who are the most outstanding, and Qiangqu also intends to choose one of them and choose him as his successor. One of them is Yu Fuluo, and the other is a famous chef. Now that Yu Fuluo must know that the Dao Qiang Qu has a problem with him, he will naturally not be willing to spend his subordinates to help. ”

Zhao Yun talked eloquently, obviously for the art of battle formation, Zhao Yun also put a lot of effort into it.

"Well said!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly. I have already affirmed in my heart that there is obviously no problem for Zhao Yun today even if he leads the army alone.

However, this time, Wei Tao was still ready to do it himself.

Although Qiangqu sent a large number of rangers, but the Huns are galloping on the grassland all the year round, where there are so many, when exploring, they mostly scan with their eyes, although there are also proficient tracking Huns are chasing behind Wei Tao and others, but they have basically been cleared.

"Kill me!"

There are not many ambushes outside Yanmen Pass, so this time Wei Tao did not wait for the other party to enter the ambush circle and directly launched an attack with a loud shout.

The two thousand cavalry immediately rushed out with Wei Tao and went straight to Qiangqu to kill.

There are 5,000 people under the command of Qiangqu, and it is said that there should be no panic in the face of such a situation.

But at this time. But when he saw that 1,500 of the cavalry were quickly separated from the location of Qiangqu, it seemed that he let Wei Tao act.

"Uvro!"

Qiang Qu trembled with anger. He had also noticed that Yu Furo was wrong before, but he never imagined that Yu Furo would dare to do so.

On the contrary, Wei Tao couldn't help but be happy when he saw this, that is, he collected all the troops that were supposed to be sent out.

"Kill!"

Wei Tao led the people like a sharp knife into the army of Qiangqu.

The cavalry has to run to be able to exert the greatest power, because Yu Fuluo's actions are actually a beat slower, and at this time, the cavalry did not get up, and was directly killed by Wei Tao.

Of course, this does not mean that Wei Tao can have the upper hand, and with a small number of cavalry rushing into the place of the majority of cavalry, it looks a bit suicidal on the surface.

In fact, it was also the case, Rao is Wei Tao had the advantage of the charge, but after a round, the casualties of the troops led by Wei Tao were only slightly less than those of the Huns.

"Kill!"

However, after a wave of impact, Wei Tao had already disrupted the opponent's formation, and immediately reflexively fought again.

With Wei Tao's bravery at this time, this time no Huns were willing to face the enemy head-on, and they retreated one after another, but it made Wei Tao's results even better.

"Is this person the 'fierce wolf' Lu Bu? No, although the 'fierce wolf' is powerful, it is not as cunning as this person, and he must not let this person live! ”

At this moment, a fierce light suddenly flashed in Yu Fuluo's eyes, and he suddenly ordered!

"Troops, kill!"

immediately led people to kill Wei Tao, and if the Xiongnu under Qiangqu stood in front of them, then Yu Fuluo did not hesitate to kill them together.

If Wei Tao really ignored Yu Luo before, then it is not impossible to be attacked like this suddenly, I am afraid it is not impossible to really die because of this.

But how could Wei Tao be ignoring Yu Fuluo?

"Withdraw!"

Wei Tao knew that if the five thousand Huns were surrounded by Qiqi, then he would really lead people to death, although he gave the order, but Wei Tao was a halberd, and he turned around and rushed to kill Na Yufuluo.

Wei Tao was very abrupt this time, everyone including Zhao Yun was killed outward, no one would have thought that Wei Tao would dare to be like this.

"What!"

That Yu Fuluo was also leading the army and rushing in front, where did he think that Wei Tao would attack directly without caring about himself alone.

Surprised, he didn't dare to move forward, but retreated.

As soon as he retreated, he immediately let the pursuing Huns also stop.

But where did he think that Wei Tao was just to deter Na Yufuluo, as soon as he pulled the reins, the snow dragon horse was familiar with human nature, and he turned around and caught up with the front army.

Although Wei Tao's action seemed very reckless, the effect was still good, and it was easy to get out until the end.

However, when Wei Tao moved away from the other party and had a little of the army he had left, his face still couldn't help but sink suddenly.

This battle turned out to be a loss of more than 800 people, although the Huns basically died so many people, but Wei Tao understood that his cavalry was really not much.

However, after this sortie, the contradictions of the Qiangqu troops were deepened, and the pursuit was slower, so there was no need to worry too much.

After converging with Zhang Liao, Wei Tao found that Zhang Liao's losses were similar.

Unlike Wei Tao, Zhang Liao used the method of attack, and he plus Xu Huang, Yu Ban, and Pan Feng each led a part of the sergeants, and fought against the Xiongnu with their own martial bravery.

In this way, with the martial arts of Zhang Liao and others, they are even better, although the Huns themselves are also experts in raiding, but they still let Zhang Liao and others attack and kill many people.

Of course, Zhang Liao has suffered a lot of injuries, and the results are similar to Wei Tao.

But in any case, Wei Tao and Zhang Liao both delayed the pursuit of the Huns.

This retreat directly retreated to the outside of Yanmen Pass, but according to Zhou Yu and Xun You's calculations, they did not retreat into Yanmen Pass.

Although the city wall is thick and it is safe, it is also very difficult to open Yanmen Pass, if you want to hold on, there is no problem, but if you want to counterattack, it is not so easy.

"We have retreated here, and the Huns are pressing forward step by step, it's time to 'advance', right?"

Wei Tao asked Zhou Yu and Xun Yu very directly this time, if they retreated, even if they used their own prestige, I am afraid that their subordinates would not dare to fight with the Huns again.

"Lord Qiqi, it is indeed time to fight back."

Zhou Yu and Xun You glanced at each other, Qi Qi just smiled and then said.

"Oh? I don't know what the plans of Lu Dao Gongjin and Gongda are? Although this tent is still so open, it seems to be able to accommodate 60,000 soldiers, but there are only 40,000 of them, and those 20,000 soldiers have already been placed by you on the way back from retreat, right? ”

Wei Tao said directly, he didn't interfere too much in this matter, this is his trust in Zhou Yu and the two.

"Yes, Lord Qiqi, everyone is ready, just wait for the arrival of the Huns, after this battle, we will make the Huns dare not look south within ten years!"

As soon as Xun You arched his hand, he said confidently.

Not only Xun You, but Zhou Yu also had a slight smile on his face, looking very confident.

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Wei Tao was very surprised, although he also saw something, but in Wei Tao's opinion, these arrangements can at most have a forty percent chance of winning, and even if they win, it will not make the dignified Huns dare not look south, right?

"Huh...... Lord Qiqi, this time Gongjin and I have prepared a plan for the Huns. ”

Xun You bowed his hand again, and it was rare to say with a smile.

"Ambush on all sides!" (To be continued......)
