Text Chapter 267 Pang Tong offers a plan
Thinking that the troops were inferior to the people, and they were unprepared, they were fighting and had no other use except consumption, so they raised their heads and shouted: "All the cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army listen, immediately retreat, and I will break the rear and withdraw to Xinchang City." ”
The cavalry of the Dragon and Tiger Army, which was fighting in the battlefield, began to retreat, leaving a white horse in front, rushing left left and right, so it was not lively.
Zhao Yun single-handedly slaughtered into the enemy camp, and then the bright silver spear in his hand kept flipping, and a cavalryman named Sanhan fell from his horse like a kite with a broken string.
Zhao Yun's martial bravery made many Sanhan soldiers begin to be afraid, and many of them even took out their bows and arrows and prepared to release arrows.
"Don't let go of the arrows, watch me capture this Han general alive." Li Buche was rushing over with his own soldiers at this time, and when he saw the scene of those cavalry wanting to release arrows, he immediately shouted, and then with a wave of the big scimitar in his hand, he rushed towards the place where Zhao Yun was.
Suddenly, there were no enemies around, some were just a foreign general from afar, and Zhao Yun knew that the enemy general had arrived.
If it was any other time, Zhao Yun would not be afraid, and would go head-on and give the enemy a heavy blow. But now, he is alone, and if he fights, I'm afraid he really can't go back.
Zhao Yun is not afraid of death, but he will not do it if he sacrifices meaninglessly. For this reason, he was ready to retreat, and when he was about to rush in front of him, he flashed and hid to the side of the Yezhao Jade Lion.
A large scimitar swung upward, and it did cut into the air, and then the figure disappeared from the white horse.
When Li Buche was still wondering, could it be that he couldn't kill the Han general with a knife, but why didn't he feel it in his hands? When he was still thinking about it, he saw that the Yezhao Jade Lion had already turned away, and at this moment, the figure of Zhao Yun hiding on the side of the white horse was also revealed.
"Bastard, you actually cheated, stop me." Seeing that Zhao Yun didn't fight with him, Li Buche was angry, so he rode a horse and chased after him.
It's just that how can an ordinary horse be the opponent of the Yezhao Jade Lion, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer with the continuous pursuit, until Li Buche knows that he can't catch up, and when he orders the soldiers to use bows and arrows, it is already late, and only a white shadow in the distance gradually disappears into his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, they can't escape far, the army advances, and the troops send to Xinchang City.
Zhao Yun withdrew with the strength of the feet of the jade lion in the night. After the Dragon and Tiger Army defending the city saw the main general, they immediately opened the city gate.
As soon as Zhao Yun entered the city, Jia Xu greeted him, "General Zhao, you are not injured." ”
"Strategist, I'm fine, but Strategist isn't injured." Zhao Yun dismounted and walked in front of Jia Xu, asking with concern.
"I'm fine, it's just a pity that the more than 20,000 soldiers are still in my favor with General Yuyin and Liupu." When Jia Xu said these words, his expression was a little depressed, this battle was hit hard, in addition to being unprepared, it was also due to the superior combat strength of Samhan's army. Before the Tianyan organization, there was news that the Sanhan alien race had been training soldiers, but he didn't take it seriously, in his opinion, no one in the world could be the opponent of the Bingzhou army, and now it seems that he is still careless.
Looking at Jia Xu's self-reproachful face, Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "The military advisor must not have other ideas, this foreign invasion is really beyond our expectations, the military advisor led the troops to the front line in person, and it is already a great victory to be able to stop the pace of the enemy's attack." ”
"Okay, General Zhao doesn't need to comfort me. Now the lord's reinforcements have not yet arrived, I still have to think about how to hold Xinchang City, this city can't be lost, otherwise behind it is Xiangping (the seat of Liaodong County), in that case, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong will be handed over. Jia Xu waved his hand, even if he had been defeated, he didn't think about it, and now he wanted to win the battle.
"I listen to the strategies of the military advisors, but the Dragon and Tiger Army is used to fighting immediately, and they are not good at defending the city." Zhao Yun nodded, he knew what to do next, but when it came to defending the city, he was really not good at it.
"It doesn't matter, the cavalry is very good at bows and arrows, as long as we hit the enemy with bows and arrows, we can temporarily hold the city. I just hope that the lord can quickly send troops to help after receiving our military intelligence information, otherwise, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for a few days. When Jia Xu said these words, he didn't see any confidence on his face, because the news was too slow to transmit, and he didn't know that Zhang Chao had personally led a large army to Liaodong to support.
Zhang Chao is rushing towards Liaodong County with a large army at this moment.
And along the way, one by one the battle reports are gathering in his hands. When he saw that for the retreat of the people of Anshi City, Xian Yuyin and General Liupu were killed in battle, and Jia Xu was also on the front line, if Zhao Yun hadn't appeared in time, he might have died, he was angry.
"Good Sanhan, I won't move you, you did do it first, even if that's the case, how can I spare you." After saying this angrily, Zhang Chao immediately said to Pang Tong, a staff officer beside him: "Shiyuan, tell me to go down, the whole army is moving forward at full speed, and only a small part of the infantry can be left to sort out the baggage." ”
Zhang Chao is really too worried about the battle ahead, and he doesn't want to be hurt by Zhao Yun or Jia Xu not far away, so if he goes to the front line earlier, he will be able to have a better chance of winning.
After Pang Tong agreed, he was ready to go down to make arrangements, but when he left, he looked like he wanted to say something.
"What? Does Shiyuan have anything to say? Noticing the change in Pang Tong's expression, Zhang Chaoyan asked.
"My lord, that's what I think. Xinchang City is not very large, and there are no infantry in front of it, I am afraid that even if we want to hold on, it will be very difficult, even if we want to hold on, why don't we let the city out, and then ask Jia Xu's army division and General Zhao to retreat to Xiangping, and then we will set up an ambush on the road to the road, wouldn't it be better to volley halfway. Pang Tong said this cautiously.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Pang Tong has made a proposal after following Zhang Chao's side, and whether it can be adopted or not is also a drum in his heart.
Hearing Pang Tong's words, Zhang Chao had a thoughtful expression, and after a while, his eyes lit up and said: "This plan is feasible, you can arrange for Lu Bu to take the vanguard army to bury the grain and grass on the road to ambush the other party's army, so that the Sanhan army has a smooth journey, and it will definitely not think that we will make such a move, and after there is no food, we will definitely become panicked, so that we can fight back." ”
After sighing to himself, Zhang Chao looked at Pang Tong and said, "How did you come up with such a good idea?" ”
"Lord, this is what I have heard from you, and I have the feeling that people who save and lose land and everyone who loses land and lose land and everyone who loses land. The last thing we are bad at is the territory, and if that's the case, why not make good use of it? Seeing that Zhang Chao accepted his opinion, Pang Tong also became a little bolder, and he was much happier when he spoke.
"Yes, everyone thinks that the city is important, but they don't know that talent is the foundation of life. If there are no people, how can you hold on to the city, no matter how many cities you have? Zhang Chao also nodded in response, and then looked behind Pang Tongzhi and said, "Okay, you go and arrange the advance of the army, by the way, call General Lu Bu over." ”
Xinchang City.
Jia Xu and Zhao Yun led 50,000 dragon and tiger troops to defend for four days.
For the Dragon and Tiger Army, which is good at cavalry combat, it is really not good at defending the city, if it is not supplemented by the bow and arrow in the hand, I am afraid that the city is already in danger.
It's just four days later, the sergeant's bow and arrow also began to become nervous, and at this time Jia Xu finally received Zhang Chao's message, after reading the letter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhao Yun with a happy face: "General Zhao, the lord is coming with reinforcements, and the time for us to counterattack is coming." ”
As soon as he heard that Zhang Chao had arrived, Zhao Yun was also very excited, "This is the best, then dare to ask the military advisor, when will we counterattack?" ”
Being pressed in the city these days, Zhao Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, but the other party has always been in a neat formation, with archers and pikemen in front, even if he rushes out with the Dragon and Tiger Army, it will be difficult to have any better results, so he has to keep suppressing. Now that he finally saw hope, he naturally came up with a breath of turbidity.
"Well, in this way, you order us to go down, and we will withdraw from Xinchang City this evening and go to the direction of Xiangping." Jia Xu thought about it for a while and said.
"Okay." Zhao Yun agreed, and wanted to go out to pass on the military order, but as soon as he heard that it was a withdrawal, his face was stunned and said: "Military division, aren't we going to fight back?" Why are you going to retreat. ”
"What? Has General Zhao forgotten the words of the lord? There is an offensive called retreat? Okay, all I have to do is get ready to withdraw. Jia Xu said in a firm tone.
Knowing that Jia Xu knew this, Zhao Yun immediately became confident and made preparations as soon as he agreed.
And that night, the Dragon and Tiger Army in Xinchang City opened the north gate and began to withdraw, because they were all cavalry, and the speed of retreat was still very fast. It was half an hour before waiting for Li Buche and others to get the news.
"What? The Han people want to escape, but they don't chase after them quickly. After hearing the news, Li Buche's face was angry. In the afternoon, he discussed with the two generals, Dezhong and Jiani, the plan to attack the city with all their strength tomorrow and strive to take Xinchang City with all their might, but now there is indeed a change, which is really infuriating.
Li Buche gave the order, and the army of Sanhan began to attack the city, an empty city, which was quickly occupied, and then the army also went out of the north gate and headed towards Xiangping, obviously they wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the entire Liaodong County in one fell swoop.
The army left the city one after another and began to chase in the direction of Xiangping. Along the way, you can always see some military flags and baggage thrown down by the Han army, seeing this scene, Li Buche is more sure that the Han army is retreating, and the pace of advance is accelerated under great joy.
