Chapter 48: Misfortune
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and under the dim sky, the damp wind added a bit of coolness to the scorching summer heat.
In the sky, raindrops fell, hitting Yuan Shu's face, and the cold raindrops brought a slight coolness, which cleared up some chaotic minds.
Looking at the corpses all around him in a daze and the gradually growing rain curtain, the tall figures were slowly approaching this side.
Caught in the flank?
Shaking his head, Yuan Shu, who had some thinking ability, only felt a little bitter in his mouth at the moment, clenched the sword with his right hand, looked at the oncoming camp slowly, and looked at the pursuing soldiers and horses behind him, Yuan Shu suddenly felt a little ironic.
After the fourth and third dukes, when did they fall into such a field.
Gao Shun did not immediately go to capture Yuan Shu, but looked at the soldiers and horses on the other side, his brows furrowed slightly, it was a rare elite, although there were not many people, but it was well-trained, on the border of Xuzhou, when was there such a force.
The two armies approached slowly, Gao Shun suddenly raised his arm, and the Eight Hundred Trap camp suddenly stopped its pace and set up a formation, while the generals on the opposite side also stopped their troops almost at the same time.
Gao Shun took a deep breath, his cold gaze fell on the general's face, and a somewhat hoarse voice echoed in the wilderness: "Come and get your name!" ”
But he saw the military general on the opposite side take a few steps forward and shook the spear in his hand, and said loudly: "Runan, Chen arrives!" ”
Runan? Liu Bei?
Gao Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, now that Liu Bei is entrenched in Runan, it is not a secret to recruit troops, Xuzhou has naturally already gotten the news, but Liu Bei still has the courage to come to Xuzhou?
"This is the boundary of Xuzhou, does Liu Xuande want to start a war with my lord!?" Gao Shun looked at Chen Dao and said.
"My lord is ordered by Duke Cao to chase down the traitor Yuan Shu!" Chen Zhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head, the current Liu Bei has an unstable foothold, although the enmity between him and Lu Bu is as deep as the sea, but it is a personal feud, and in the current situation, it is best not to provoke Lu Bu This big trouble.
"My lord was ordered by the imperial court to arrest the rebels, and this is the boundary of Xuzhou, so it should be caught by our army." Gao Shun sat on horseback and looked at Chen Daodao.
The muscles on Yuan Shu's face twitched, both angry and helpless, but he didn't speak, it was best if the two could fight, and he might have a chance to escape from the chaos.
Chen Zhi shook his head: "I was ordered to arrest him, but if I didn't capture Yuan Shu, I can't recover my life!" ”
"That's the case...... Gao Shun raised the sword in his hand and said coldly: "Fight!" ”
"Crunch~" trapped in the camp army, the crossbowmen raised their crossbows in unison, and with Gao Shun's order, a row of crossbow arrows rose into the air and fell to the opposite army.
"Kill!" Chen Zhi waved the spear in his hand, and the soldiers behind him quickly killed, and killed the trapped camp with their shields.
The two teams braved the rain of arrows like two torrents, quickly approached, and fought in front of Yuan Shu's chariot.
After Lu Bu recaptured Xuzhou, he ordered craftsmen to create the best armor and weapons for the soldiers of the camp, and the soldiers and horses of the camp were mostly selected from the army, and the generals were selected from the army, and the generals were selected to fight, and the soldiers and horses of Chen Zhi were not idle, but Liu Bei followed Liu Bei since he started.
Especially Na Chen Dao, who galloped back and forth in the army, with a big gun, he had already picked several soldiers who had fallen into the camp.
Gao Shun's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly let out a roar, when the flag waved, the trumpet sound here gradually changed in frequency, and the soldiers in the trapping camp in the fight suddenly dispersed, taking the army as a unit, raising shields, wielding knives, and bayonets, in the melee, forming a small formation, between each other, but in the trumpet, they can cooperate with each other, and the troops brought by Chen Zhi were immediately divided, Rao is Chen Zhi brave, but at this moment, in the face of the sudden change of formation, he was powerless to resist for a while.
The two sides stalemate on the battlefield for less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Zhi's troops began to disperse, although Chen Zhi had the intention to kill the enemy, but the formation has been disrupted by the trapped camp, the trend of defeat has appeared, seeing the surrounding trapped camp soldiers towards their own encirclement, Chen Zhi did not dare to cut again, hit the horse and turned around, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield with the rout, leaving hundreds of corpses, and fled away.
Gao Shun silently looked at the direction of Chen Zhi's escape, and after making sure that the other party had not pursued, he ordered someone to clean up the battlefield, Gao Shun took his own soldiers, and came to the frame of Yuan Shu's car, the horse pulling the cart had been shot in the chaotic army, at this moment Yuan Shu had no soldiers around him, looking at Gao Shun who was riding a horse, Yuan Shu closed his eyes in some pain.
"Does the general have any last words to keep?" Gao Shun came to the frame and saluted Yuan Shu.
Last words?
Yuan Shu sighed, shook his head, looked at Gao Shun, straightened his chest and said: "My Yuan clan is a famous family in the world, although the sky is going to kill me today, but please Wen Hou leave my whole corpse, don't let me expose the corpse wilderness!" ”
Even if it is death, it should be the style of the fourth world and the third duke, at this time, Yuan Shu did not beg for mercy, there were too many grievances and entanglements between him and Lu Bu, but among them, there was no personal feelings.
"Please also ask the general to hand over the jade seal of the country!" Gao Shun clenched his fists with both hands and said to Yuan Shu.
"Jade Seal ......" Yuan Shu heard this, and laughed miserably: "I'm afraid it's in Liu Bei's hands at this moment." ”
He was going to join Yuan Shao with his family, and the jade seal of the country was originally carried with him, but Liu Bei's chasing troops suddenly arrived and dispersed his troops, and the jade seal of the country was also lost in the escape, and I am afraid that it has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei at this moment.
When Gao Shun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, his task was to kill Yuan Shu and recover the jade seal of the country, and now the jade seal has fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, although the camp is elite, it is impossible to directly kill Liu Bei's territory.
"Dare to ask the general to follow me back to Xiapi." Gao Shun pondered for a moment and said.
If the jade seal of the country can be recovered, Yuan Shu will naturally have no need to stay, but now that the jade seal of the country is lost, if Yuan Shu is killed, it is likely to make people think that Lu Bu has secretly swallowed the jade seal of the country, so that Yuan Shu cannot kill indiscriminately, and this matter is still to be decided by Lu Bu.
Although Yuan Shu is not a master, he is not a stupid person, Gao Shun said this, he quickly figured out the key, and his heart was a little complicated, but at this moment, there was no room for him to choose, so he could only nod silently, and hugged his fist at Gao Shun and said: "Please also ask the general to lead the way." ”
"Withdraw!" Gao Shun nodded, asked people to bring two war horses, pulled Yuan Shu's frame back up, and headed in the direction of Xiapi.
