Chapter 289: Dying Struggle
Blood slowly slid down the blade and fell to the ground.
The flags in the camp, though hunting in the sky, looked particularly bleak.
Victory, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
Why did good planning lead to this situation? Are you really wrong? Or did he underestimate Gepo Yellow Turban.
I wanted to be ordered to go to Gepo at the beginning, how high-spirited I was.
When I thought that when I led the army outside Luoyang City, Cao Mengde gave me a gift of wine to help me triumph. Now I don't want to be like this.
Runan, Yuzhou, is this really the hatred of my life? .
No, Ben Jiang obviously didn't do anything wrong, but they Yuzhou refused to cooperate. Didn't you just kill a few officials who didn't obey military orders and didn't deliver food on time? At the time of the national disaster, they still had their own little calculations, and if they didn't kill them, it was not enough to vent the hatred in their hearts.
Put the yellow scarf and return to Gepo, so as to prevent the thieves from plundering the place, so as to give Yu, Yang, Yan and other prefectures a chance to recuperate.
But what I didn't expect to get in exchange was the cold words of the Yuzhou Thorn Mansion, saying that the yellow scarf was powerful and could only be divided and attacked.
For the sake of the overall situation, they would have tolerated again and again, but they regarded them as cowardice.
Damn old horseman, if it weren't for his approval, how would the officials everywhere dare to disrespect military orders, and how dare they secretly withhold military rations.
Isn't this an act of putting pressure on the general to send troops quickly?
Thinking of this, I was furious.
"Report ......"
"General Qiyu, our army has lost more than 3,500 people"
A soldier came running quickly, his voice unusually heavy.
There were only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the cavalry battalion, and at this time more than 3,500 people were lost, and only 6,000 people remained.
In other words, after this battle, almost one-third of the strength was lost. It's a shame that there is no 4th-order elite among them, otherwise the tuncai battalion, one of the dignified soldiers and horses in the West Garden, will be crippled.
"He Yi"
Bao Hong gritted his teeth and spit out these two words.
Heavy and hurried footsteps came, and several generals in armor walked towards Bao Hong.
"The general, the grain in the land where the grain is stored has been looted by the Gepo Yellow Turban, what should we do?" asked one of the generals.
Another general said: "Do you want to send people to Runan and ask the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion to mobilize grain?" ”
"Runan? Yuzhou Thorn History? A sneer came, followed by footsteps.
One person bowed to Bao Hong, and the whip marks on his face were revealed in front of everyone's eyes: "General, can we expect Runan to lend a hand?" ”
All the generals lowered their heads and remained silent one by one.
How difficult it is to get food, if you let people go to Runan to urge grain and grass at this time, you don't know what humiliation you will receive.
If it is humiliation, it is enough, but I am afraid that after humiliation, not only will there be no food, but it will be a prison sentence.
The four words of prison disaster appeared in the hearts of the generals, and an ominous aura shrouded from the sky.
It's troublesome, and even said that it has come to a dead end at this time, and even can faintly hear the sound of the prisoner cart sent by the imperial court, slowly moving forward.
"Gepo Yellow Turban is hateful, but how can Yuzhou Thorn Mansion not be hateful?" The man said loudly.
Without waiting for the generals to speak, he bowed to Bao Hong again: "General, some things should be done."
"Broken?" Bao Hong's palms were sweaty, and his heart was beating violently.
The man said: "If the general's expectations are good, the officials of the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion will be overjoyed when they hear that our army has won a tragic victory and lost food."
"The imperial court's prisoner cart is not far from me," the man said in a tone that accentuated his voice.
Bao Hong's eyes looked around the generals: "I don't know what strategy you have to get out of the crisis"
"General, you can only do that dangerous strategy now," the man yelled.
The two generals glanced at each other, and then gritted their teeth fiercely: "Please do that dangerous strategy, the general"
"Please take that dangerous step," the generals shouted in unison.
Bao Hong wiped the sweat from his palms, as for this dangerous strategy, he naturally knew.
It's just that this is a poisonous plan, and if it is implemented, it is not the way to go.
"The main force that used Runan as bait to fish out Gepo Yellow Turban, and then we were waiting to storm Gepo. This may seem like a feasible plan, but it is too dangerous. If our army is slightly inferior and Runan is broken by Gepo Yellow Turban, what is the meaning of even if Gepo is defeated? On the contrary, he will become a sinner because of this, watching Ge Po's yellow scarf sweep through the entire territory of Yuzhou" Bao Hong's speech speed was a little slow, and he made painful decisions and trade-offs in his heart.
One of the generals couldn't help but speak: "If we don't do anything, if we don't kill Gepo before the envoys sent by the imperial court rush to Runan, then waiting for the general and us will be imprisoned." Can the general perceive the suffering of Runan, but ignore the pain of us? ”
"The situation is urgent, please make a quick decision," one general interjected.
All the generals shouted in unison: "Please make a quick decision to the general"
"Presumptuous" Bao Hong seemed to turn into an enraged lion and yelled at these generals.
The tone gradually became severe: "Could it be that the general should not allow it, and you will not be able to wait for the war?"
"The last general doesn't dare" The generals trembled in their hearts and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Looking at these generals who knelt on the ground, Bao Hong let out a long sigh in his heart. After all, they are their confidants, but they don't want to go to the road of death with them.
Lamentable, ridiculous, pathetic.
It was not Ge Po Yellow Turban who was about to kill him, but Yuzhou and the imperial court that he was ordered to protect.
"General Mingjian, our army and the Yellow Turban War of Gepo are in urgent need of repair. However, there was not enough food in the barracks, and most of the fortifications were damaged, and it was inevitable that they would be raided by Gepo if they were repaired downhill. Therefore, the last general dared to advise the general to move the camp to Anseong. Collect food on the spot to replenish the strength of our army," said one of the generals.
All the generals looked expectantly at the same time and looked at Bao Hong in unison.
"To Anseong?" Bao Hong was vaguely moved.
One of the generals took the opportunity to say, "The land of Anseong has enough food, and if I wait, we can repair it." At the same time, pay close attention to Gepo's movements, once Gepo sends troops to Runan, the general can lead his army to attack Gepo from the rear. At that time, Ge Po was in hand, and he took his family as a hostage, and attacked He Yi's department with the momentum, and attacked the defenders of Runan before and after. At that time, Gepo Yellow Turban was bound to be defeated"
"When the time comes, with such great achievements in hand, and all the old horseman's crimes, it will be the end of the Yuzhou Assassin Mansion," the general said.
Bao Hong's gaze looked around the crowd, and finally passed them and landed on the body of a wounded soldier.
"General, when the judgment continues to suffer from the chaos, the prisoner cart sent by the imperial court will not stop there," one general urged.
Bao Hong gritted his teeth fiercely, reached out and pulled out the sword at his waist: "Okay, just follow the words of the generals"
"Nuo" The generals shouted in unison.
Then he got up from the ground and turned and walked forward.
Knock knock knock......
The drums sounded in the camp, and a soldier from the Mingtun Cavalry Battalion gathered in the direction from which the sound came from.
A short time later, a huge phalanx appeared in front of him.
The handsome flag was waved in the wind, and Bao Hong slapped his war horse and roared away with thousands of soldiers.
At the same time, flames erupted, and the entire camp was in flames.
