Chapter 573
Guan Yu endured the pain in his shoulder, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife dragged backwards, and went east without looking back.
Woo woo woo~
The horn of the withdrawal of troops finally sounded in the Liu army, only to see the flag of the Lord rolled upside down, and all the soldiers of the Liu army fled eastward like a tide, throwing down at least 2,000 corpses.
Zhao Yun did not chase either, leaving a group of soldiers and horses to stick to the river embankment to ensure that the river embankment could not be broken before the end of the war, and he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to the south to join Wen Chou's army.
......
On a hillside.
In the twilight, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood side by side on the high slope, looking at the direction of Youxian County, stunned.
"It's windy on the mountain, so let the lord rest in the tent first, it's still early in the middle of the night." Zhuge Liang persuaded.
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I have been fighting horses all my life, this wind is nothing, this time Youxian County was burned, not only suffered tens of thousands of people, I only hope that this fire can burn a little stronger, burn more soldiers and horses, it is best to burn Haobai to death with a fire." ”
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Now that Haobai has become a powerful person, how can it be so easy to burn to death, not to mention, if Haobai arrives, my senior brother Pang Tong, as well as Guo Jia and Jia Xu have also arrived, I'm afraid this plan may be discovered." ”
Zhuge Liang continued: "The lord can rest assured, but if Liang has a breath, he will have to assist the lord to revitalize the Han family!"
Liu Bei's expression was also slightly excited: "I have Kong Ming, like a fish in water, like a tiger with wings!"
While he was talking, a general on the side suddenly shouted, "Look over there!"
The two of them looked up, and saw that a few miles away, countless torches had converged into a fiery dragon, rushing towards their hillside, which not only crowded the mountain road leading to the southeast, but also stretched for several miles, and was roughly estimated to be at least 20,000 people.
Everyone was in shock, several scouts panted and rushed to the hillside, and ran to Liu Bei's side: "Lord Qi, the big thing is not good, the strategy of the military division seems to have been seen through by the enemy, General Guan was attacked by the enemy cavalry, retreated without the enemy, the river embankment was lost, Youxian was besieged by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Wen Chou, and led the troops into the city to search, although there was a fire in the city, but it did not spread to the whole city, and now the enemy general Yan Liang, and led an army of 20,000, looking at our side. ”
"What?" Liu Bei's face changed as if he had been struck by lightning.
Even Zhuge Liang, who claimed to have the power of ghosts and gods through heaven and latitude, became stunned and lost his soul.
"Ambushes from all directions, if one place is discovered, it is forgivable, after all, there are not a few capable people and wise men in the Hao army, but they are seen through everywhere, unless that Hao Bai has the ability to reach the sky, or the news is leaked......"
However, Zhuge Liang quickly overturned the possibility of leaking the news, the leaders of the troops are all confidants, and the Hao army is completely prepared, if it is leaked, the time will not be right at all.
The only possibility is that Haobai or his advisers have the ability to predict the future, otherwise it is reasonable to say that the river blockade and fire plan will be discovered, but how will the enemy know about their soldiers and horses on this side of the hill!
In an instant, Zhuge Liang only felt a strong sense of frustration welling up in his heart, this Mr. Wolong felt so helpless for the first time.
What he never dreamed of was that he was so famous in the scenes of fire attack and flooding in history that as soon as Haobai who crossed over met him, he prepared all his arrangements in advance.
Seeing the enemy army in front of him coming all over the mountains, Zhuge Liang naturally would not be as brave as Guan Yu, sighed, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, the matter has come to this, we can only retreat, the enemy army is strong, and it is not appropriate to resist it." ”
Liu Bei had no choice but to order a retreat, leading his troops and horses to retreat to the south in a hurry.
Before leaving, Zhuge Liang ordered all the flags to be left behind, and lanterns were all over the hillside to confuse the opponent and buy time for his own retreat.
Sure enough, Yan Liang saw the fires all over the mountain, and there were blue and red flags waving, thinking that the enemy army was still there, so he didn't dare to rashly attack the mountain directly, but took it step by step and advanced slowly.
By the time Yan Liang led the crowd to kill, Liu Jun was already miles away, leaving only a few empty camps and banners all over the mountain.
It was already dark, and Yan Liang was difficult to pursue, so he had to go back.
By the time Zhao Yun and Yan Liang returned to Youxian, the enemy forces in the city had been cleared, Zhang Fei had already fled, and many houses in the city had been burned down, but most of the buildings had been saved after all.
Zhao Yun led all the soldiers into Youxian County, fortified all around, sent scouts and cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers looked for civilian houses to make fires and cook, and then made a decision after the arrival of the Chinese army.
At noon the next day, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Chinese army surrounded the vast white and entered Youxian.
Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others couldn't help but admire the five-body throwing to the ground when they learned that Zhuge Liang had really arranged the water and fire plan and ambushes as Haobai expected.
Although they have always been strategic, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to hide this plan from them, in fact, Zhuge Liang only dared to set up this plan when he heard that a few think tanks were in the Chinese army and wanted to make a pioneer with a time difference.
However, when Haobai heard that the people of Youxian County were coerced by Liu Bei, he couldn't help but be furious: "Liu Bei, how dare you coerce my people, the people here can obviously live and work here in peace and contentment, how can they be displaced, and they should be chased back quickly!"
At that moment, Hao Bai ordered Zhao Yun and Yan Liang to lead 30,000 iron horsemen to immediately go south and recover the people in the city.
"Your task in this battle is to bring all the people back safely, do not hurt them, bring more dry food and water, many people run in a hurry without food, don't starve them, the old and weak, women and children, who can't run, let them ride horses, bring more wound medicine, you can temporarily treat the wounded, and those who kill the people without permission should be killed!
This was an unprecedented battle, even an extremely demanding battle, but the soldiers did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
......
More than 100 miles south of Youxian County.
In the previous battle, Liu Jun's losses were nearly a lot, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and others collected more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, and fled to Fancheng in the south.
Behind them, the mountains were full of people, there were thirty or forty thousand people, following behind the army, rushing in a hurry, crying all over the wilderness.
Some of these poor people are pushing carts, some are carrying burdens, some are carrying burdens, and some are holding children, all of them are covered with dust and unkempt hair.
The more important thing is that the people are in a hurry, the people do not have much food, and Fancheng is hundreds of miles away, so it is natural to save food, most of the people have only eaten two meals in the past two days, and some people have only eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food, and they are dizzy with hunger.
In fact, they were reluctant to follow Liu Bei, they were just coerced by him, after all, the people of Jingzhou lived very well under the rule of Haobai.
What do you say that Haobai kills people like hemp, these people don't believe it at all, if they are not forced, who wants to leave their homeland?
