223 - Caught before he was tied

Gou Chong only said half of what he said, in addition to fleeing for his life, there was another reason for retreating to Yingchuan.

That is, to stabilize the situation and avoid the pursuit of the enemy.

It is said that this battle made Gou Chong feel aggrieved, and he didn't even know who the local commander was, and Shangcai Cheng was defeated in a daze without seeing it.

Even if you are defeated, you have been hunted down all the way to the present.

So much so that he didn't have time to deal with his injuries.

It can be guessed that the enemy's main general must be a master of situational warfare.

He is adept at using his advantage and turning the battlefield into his chessboard.

This feeling made Gou Chong think of hunting.

Yes, that's right, like a beast, being played by the enemy in the encirclement.

All his actions have been seen through.

The enemy is like a clever hunter, and he will not show mercy when he seizes the opportunity.

Because of this, Gou Chong suggested that Sima Bi quickly retreat to Yingchuan to collect the defeated troops.

Otherwise, Gou Chong felt that in terms of the enemy's main general's way of leading troops, he would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Yingchuan.

Others don't know, don't Gou Chong know, Yingchuan has already been evacuated at this time, and the city defenses everywhere are all false shells, if Yingchuan is taken, then the problem will be big.

By that time, there would be no buffer zone between Luoyang, the capital and Yaoyu in Runan.

As long as Yao Yu wants to, he can be added to the Beijing Division at any time.

At that time, the king of the East China Sea can only garrison the capital division to defend Yao Yu, and it is impossible to do anything he wants.

That's it, elbow and armpit problems.

With this in mind, Gou Chongli admonished Simbi.

The latter also understands the seriousness of the problem, it is just a catastrophe, and now that they have fled to the edge of the water, how can they escape without a boat?

As soon as the words came out, Gou Chong took a deep breath and held the long knife in his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, with Gou Chong's breath, I will definitely take you out of the encirclement safely."

When the words landed, Sima Bi looked surprised.

···

On the panicked battlefield, Gao Kan ordered his subordinates to clean up.

Last night, he made a surprise attack and rushed into the camp of Sima Pi's rear army, set fire to it along the way, burned Sima Pi's ordnance and materials, and killed the main general of Sima Bi's camp in the midst of chaos.

When a centurion stepped forward to report the situation to Gao Kan, the smile on his face was so rich.

"Gao Sima, these enemies are too vulnerable, basically, we didn't do much, and they fell."

Listening to the centurion's report, Gao Kan smiled slightly.

His experience in Sima Bi's army let him know that the rear army looked like there were a lot of people, but in fact, it was the county soldiers that Sima Pi mobilized from everywhere.

If it's really the Chinese army, it's not so easy to get it.

Thinking like this, he waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, let's clean up the battlefield quickly. According to the second son's plan, the enemy should come soon. When the time comes, be careful with me, capture Simbi alive and give it to your lords as a gift."

The centurion nodded vigorously, and at the end, he asked Gao Kan with some hesitation: "Gao Sima, is he really okay?"

"Of course, adults have their own natural appearances, how can a mere assassin kill an adult?"

"Also, this Sima Bi is really hateful, he can't beat us head-on, so he makes a trick behind his back. Gao Sima, don't worry, we will never let Sima Bi escape."

"Well, go get ready."

The order was given, and the people cleaned up the battlefield.

When Gao Kan's troops had just cleaned up the battle situation and redeployed in the camp for an hour, Sima Bi and Gou Chong arrived with hundreds of defeated soldiers along the way.

These people, because of their panic, do not seem to have found any traces of the aftermath of the battle around the camp.

No, one of the guards came forward on horseback and shouted to the camp, "Your Highness is back, hurry up and open the gate of the camp to meet you."

"Wait, open the door."

A centurion agreed, and then turned back and sent his men to inform Gao Kan.

When the camp gate opened, Sima Bi's heart that had been mentioning it finally fell.

He breathed a sigh of relief and entered the camp with Gou Chong.

As he walked, Sima Bi was still afraid, feeling the thrilling danger in this battle.

"Your Highness, do you feel that something is wrong, why do you think that there are so many fewer brothers in the rear army camp. And there was a lot of dried blood on the ground."

As he was walking, Gou Chong asked suspiciously.

Sima Bi was stunned when he heard this, and looked around, isn't it.

Originally, the rear army responsible for escorting grain and grass should be about people.

Why do the people look sparse at this time?

Moreover, the dark red blood stains on the ground looked so dazzling.

Thinking like this, Sima Pi sensed that something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask the centurion who led the team, a general in his thirties with a group of soldiers appeared in front of him, and from a distance, he arched his hand at him.

"Your Highness, it's great that you're okay."

Sima Bi snorted reservedly, sat down on his horse and asked, "What's going on with this rear army camp, how does it feel like a battle?"

The person who came laughed: "Your Highness feels good, this rear army camp is indeed a battle not long ago. Well, isn't there some places where the blood hasn't dried up yet?"

Hearing this, Sima Pi was astonished, "Then, who is that man?"

"It seems that Yao Yu's soldiers attacked the rear camp, but I was defeated. Please rest assured, Your Highness, this rear army is absolutely safe."

Hearing this, Sima Bi breathed a sigh of relief.

No, he dismounted.

"By the way, what about your lord Guo Tong, why didn't you see him?"

"Guo Tong? Your Highness, you are confused, our lord will not be Guo Tong."

"Impossible, Guo Tong is the commander of the rear army that I personally ordered."

Only then did the man show a look of sudden realization: "Oh, it turns out that the name of the main general is Guo Tong. I still wonder, I don't know the name of the enemy's commander, and I don't know how to write it down in the credit book later. Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."

As he spoke, the man burst out laughing.

Sima Bi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the man with some astonishment.

Gou Chong's speed was astonishing, and a big knife slashed at the man: "You are not our man, who are you!"

The man shook out his spear from under him, jumped out of the circle with Gou Chong three times, and immediately sneered: "I used to be your man, but now. I am under the account of Lord Yao Yu, the Taishou of Runan, and the military Sima Gaokan. Simavi, your time of death has come, and you will be captured before you are tied!"

When the words fell, there was a noise around, and thousands of soldiers surrounded it.

Looking at Sima Bi again, his face turned pale with fright.

Only Gou Chong roared angrily, grabbed Sima Bi's hand, and turned his head to fight his way out of the encirclement.

Seeing this, Gao Kan waved his hand heavily: "Take it for me, pay attention, leave Sima Bi's dog life to the adults to dispose of."
