Chapter 183 Zhang Wen was completely blinded by his military exploits
The Xiliang army was retreating without much panic. Each cavalry unit was retreating behind its leader.
At the forefront of the retreat, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and others had gathered together, with no trace of nervousness on their faces.
Especially Beigong Boyu, who changed from his previous decline and now looks sinister.
"How is it? Have the officers and soldiers caught up?"
Bian Zhang looked at Han Sui who was standing aside and asked about the situation of the pursuit from behind.
"Commander Bian, the official army is behind us, but it has been divided into two parts! Our cavalry retreated too fast! Zhang Wen only has part of the cavalry, and the rest are infantry!"
Bian Zhang frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with this situation.
"If this doesn't work, Zhang Wen will be pulled further and further away from us!"
Beigong Boyu also nodded, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"This time, in order to catch Zhang Wen, I killed one of my generals! Besides, the fish has already taken the bait, we must not let them escape!"
"Commander Bian, General Beigong, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Bian Zhang frowned even more when he heard Han Sui's words and glared at him.
"Wen Yue, when did this happen? If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Beigong Boyu was even more anxious and urged him.
"Yes, if you have anything to say, please tell me! I've already lost one of my generals, and you're still hiding it!"
Han Sui was offended by the two men's bad words, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only endure it alone.
"Today, if we want to catch the army, we must sacrifice some soldiers and let them fight with the cavalry of the army, fighting and retreating until they are lured into our ambush!"
"no!"
As soon as Han Sui finished speaking, Beigong Boyu directly objected.
"These men are all warriors of our Qiang tribe, how can we let them die! I firmly disagree!"
Han Sui knew this was the situation, so he always hesitated, but he had no choice but to propose it.
"General Beigong, I don't want to sacrifice my soldiers, but I have no choice now! If the officers and soldiers don't pursue us, all our efforts will be in vain!"
Han Sui earnestly refused to listen to his persuasion, but Beigong Boyu still refused.
"Commander Bian, please come and persuade General Beigong!"
Bian Zhang was also in a bit of a dilemma. Beigong Boyu seemed to obey him, but in fact he would reject him when the involvement was too great.
"General Beigong, Wen Yue is right. If the army gave up the pursuit, then Ma Yegu would not have died in vain!"
Thinking of Ma Yegu, Beigong Boyu felt upset again. He really didn't expect that he would be sacrificed.
"Hey! Okay, I agree!"
Han Sui heard Beigong Boyu agree and just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Beigong Boyu casting a stern look at him.
"Han Sui, let me tell you the ugly story first! If I follow your plan and fail to attract the army, I will never end it with you!"
"Also, you personally take charge of seducing the officers and soldiers! Remember, we must reduce the casualties of our Qiang warriors!"
Han Sui was threatened by Beigong Boyu, and he was completely angry! But he knew that he could not get angry and must endure it.
"Don't worry, General Beigong. You and Commander Bian will go to the front to organize the army. Leave this place to me!"
Beigong Boyu nodded, then gave Han Sui 10,000 troops and horses, and he and Bian Zhang fled far away.
Han Sui looked at the two people walking away, his eyes already filled with frost.
"General Han, what should we do now?"
The Qiang cavalry general has received orders from Beigong Boyu and must obey Han Sui's command in everything.
Han Sui did not vent his anger on the knight, but greeted him with a smile.
"General, inform the troops to slow down their retreat and fight with the officers and soldiers before leaving! Remember, you must pretend to be unable to fight!"
"promise!"
Under the orders of the Qiang cavalry general, this part of the cavalry significantly slowed down their retreat and was ready for contact with the enemy.
Zhang Wen, who was leading the infantry to pursue the Xiliang Army, was already very anxious.
News continued to come from the front that the Xiliang army was retreating very quickly. The officers and cavalry could only hold on tightly without touching the enemy at all.
"Hurry up! I'll catch up soon!"
Zhang Wen kept urging without showing any sympathy for the soldiers.
"Zhang Cheqi, if we continue to chase like this, by the time we catch up with the enemy, our army will not have the physical strength to fight anymore!"
As Sun Jian joined the army, he naturally could not let Zhang Wen go his own way, so he had to bite the bullet and remind Zhang Wen.
But as Sun Jian expected, Zhang Wen was very disgusted with these words, and even looked at Sun Jian very impatiently!
"Sun joined the army, raising troops for a thousand days, and using them for a while! How can I turn a blind eye to the good opportunity General Di fought for with his life?"
"Zhang Cheqi, I..."
Sun Jian wanted to explain what he meant, but was interrupted by Zhang Wen.
"Okay, no need to say more, go ahead and urge the soldiers to move forward!"
Sun Jian knew that the infantry's marching speed had reached its limit. If they kept running like this for a long time, they would become lambs to be slaughtered.
"Zhang Cheqi, this is really not an option. The soldiers have already..."
"Report! Report! Report..."
Sun Jian looked forward helplessly, why was someone interrupting him whenever he spoke?
A cavalryman ran up from the front and bowed directly to Zhang Wen.
"Report to General Chariot and Cavalry. General Di has sent news that our cavalry has caught up with the enemy's cavalry and a bloody battle has begun. General Di requests immediate support!"
Zhang Wen was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
"Go and tell General Di quickly, I will be there soon!"
The soldiers took the order and went straight forward. Zhang Wen turned his head to Sun Jian.
"Did you hear that? Our army has already entangled the rebels! Quick, send the order quickly and speed up!"
Sun Jian already knew that it was absolutely impossible to persuade Zhang Wen to stop him, so he could only accept the order.
Zhang Wen looked forward with ardent eyes, but he still had no other thoughts in his heart.
Hurry! Hurry up! Fame is just around the corner!
From now on, who in the world will dare to underestimate me, Zhang Wen? Who will dare to say that I can't mount a horse?
Liu Zhang? He Jin? Humph, from now on this big man will still have to rely on me, Zhang Wen!
Zhang Wen kept shouting in his heart, and the surging blood boiled in his body, making him want to rush forward and kill the enemy in person.
Half an hour later, because the Xiliang army fought and retreated and was entangled by the official cavalry, Zhang Wen finally led his troops to arrive and immediately ordered an attack on the enemy.
"General Han, the infantry of the official army are also catching up. The official army is powerful. If we delay any longer, the entire army will be annihilated!"
The Qiang cavalry commander looked at Han Sui anxiously. Beigong Boyu's order to him was to minimize casualties. If there were heavy casualties, he would definitely be severely punished!
"It's almost there. We're here not far ahead! Inform the soldiers to stop entangled with the officers and soldiers and evacuate quickly!"
The Qiang cavalry general was finally relieved and quickly ordered the entire army to retreat.
Unfortunately, once in contact with the enemy, the cavalry seems to be stuck in a quagmire and cannot easily escape!
