Chapter six hundred and thirteen soldiers are soldiers
In this unsuccessful meeting, the two did not even exchange a word. But in the next two days, Cao Zhi heard that Liu Youchong was ill and was vomiting violently. When he arrived in Cuqiu County, he could no longer do anything.
Action was taken. So Tao Sheng had to stop in Chuqiu County, but Cao Zhi continued westward without stopping because of the urgent military situation.
This separation caused Cao Zhi and Liu Youchong, who were bound by flesh and blood, to go through the most painful period in their lives. It was already a few years before they met again.
At this time, Cao Zhi didn't know what was waiting for him ahead. After entering the Zhao Kingdom, the first important military message he received was: Yuan Shao had sent his troops south, and he gave up the siege of Gongsun Zan's last stronghold, and all of them were defeated overnight.
Evacuate. What impressed Cao Zhi the most was Yuan Shao's deployment to Youzhou before leaving.
"Liu He is the shepherd of Youzhou! This trick must have been thought up by the old fox Ju Shou!"
Cao Zhi took the latest military information and murmured to Li Ru and Xun Chen beside him, then handed the thing in his hand to Li Ru. Li Ru read it in a hurry and handed it to Xun Chen.
After Xun Chen finished reading, he twirled a few thin beards and said: "It may also be Tian Feng's idea. From this point on, Yuan Shao acted extremely quickly and voluntarily gave up power in Youzhou and commended Liu and Youzhou Mu. From this point on
Look, I really miss Tian Feng’s vigorous and resolute style.”
"Well!" Cao Zhi and others did not know as well as Xun Chen about the senior management of Jizhou. "No matter who helped Yuan Shao come up with the idea, we are leaving soon. I wonder if everything went well with Lejin?"
####### Le Jin looked at Du Damu's cold body and took a deep breath. Zhao Yun came back, bringing Du Damu's body and a scout team of less than twenty people.
After listening to Zhao Yun's report, Le Jin did not shed any tears, nor did he lament the loss of his comrades. Le Jin was not even interested in looking at Du Damu's body. He just said quickly to the generals around him: "First
All the cavalry in the battalion will set off with me immediately. Before the enemy has a firm foothold, we will open that road and notify the Karasuma people to follow us!"
Zhao Yun was shocked by the indifference in Le Jin's tone. After issuing the order, Le Jin strode out of the tent with his hand on the hilt of his sword. When he came to the entrance of the tent, he turned back and said to Zhao Yun: "Bring him to the tent."
Buried, I will leave the rest of the troops to you. As soon as I clear the road to the west, you will lead the infantry to help me hold down the two wings of the passage, so that the lord's baggage convoy can pass quickly behind, do you understand?"
Zhao Yun did not immediately respond to Le Jin's order. He had not yet recovered from his grief, and he could not face the pain of losing his comrades with the same indifference as Le Jin.
For Le Jin, who had more combat experience than the rookie Zhao Yun, he understood Zhao Yun's mentality at a glance. He took two steps back and walked to Zhao Yun who was holding Du Damu's body, squatted down, and said seriously without expression:
"If I die that day, the first thing you do is to bury me quickly, because you can't delay the brothers who are following you and face death because of a dead person. Daimu's death was not in vain, he brought back the most beautiful thing
Important enemy information, according to what you said, the enemy troops are Chunyu Qiong's troops temporarily transferred from the Great Wall. This means that Yuan Shao's army has not yet entered Jizhou, otherwise Chunyu Qiong would not have transferred troops there. This is also
It can be seen that their troops are insufficient, and this is a good opportunity for us to break through. If Yuan Shao's large army enters Jizhou, we may not be able to leave, so we will execute the order immediately. And if I die, you will be like this
The general of the front army. But you must open a road to the west for me. Even if we all die in the battle, our task is to ensure that the road is smooth. Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Zhao Yun went from stunned to enlightened in just a moment. The meaning of life and death was so cruelly separated in Le Jin's few words. Friendship! Compared with Zhao Yun and Le Jin
, Le Jin must have been with Du DaMou longer than Zhao Yun. But Le Jin’s words were so thought-provoking to the young Zhao Yun. He was suddenly reminded of one fact by Le Jin in front of him: war is...
War and soldiers are... soldiers. Soldiers should always fight for the living, rather than always living in memory.
#######The moonlight fell dimly and fell into the wildness of the night. The waves of the moonlight glowed with an icy cold light like the shields in the hands of the soldiers. It seemed that the only thing that could be heard at this moment was the sound of breathing.
The air was full of a formidable smell, and the chilling atmosphere on the eve of the battle could be smelled with the nose. In the woods where Zhao Yun fled, at least more than two thousand cavalry gathered at this time, but there was no sound at this moment.
sound.
At this moment, the air seemed to have solidified. This cavalry team was happy to advance, and these were all the cavalry in his former army. Before Du Damu encountered Chunyu Qiong, the troops did not stand still;
Based on the scouts' reports every day, he made sure that the road ahead was clear and pushed forward rapidly. In fact, when Zhao Yun returned with Du Damu's body on his back, his vanguard had already reached a place fifty miles inside the Zhongshan Kingdom.
It only took one day for all the cavalry he had assembled to transport troops to the woods where Zhao Yun escaped from pursuit. Before the large group of troops arrived, Le Jin had already sent out twenty scouts to conduct reconnaissance. But this time the order
Yes, when scouts patrol and conduct reconnaissance, they do not need to contact the enemy when they encounter it. They only need to report the situation quickly.
Soon the scout team encountered Yuan Jun's scouts, but there was no contact between the two sides. They only saw each other's flags and the two sides withdrew separately.
The situation is obvious. Chunyu Qiong did not leave. He still chose to gather troops here and block Le Jin's way. The number of this army was about five thousand. Le Jin did not know whether there were follow-up troops in other directions. But he
He knew that his follow-up troops, the group of Karasuma troops who had already obtained a thousand sets of exquisite armor and equipment, would have another day to catch up. But he could not wait any longer. When the enemy's reinforcements arrived, he would not be able to rush over again.
So, he simply took the initiative and led two thousand cavalry into the woods, preparing to launch a surprise attack tonight.
Although Le Jin understood that it would be difficult for him to attack the defense line of 5,000 enemy troops with 2,000 cavalry, he had no choice but to take a desperate risk. Only by taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and striking first could he have a chance of winning. When the two armies met,
The brave prevail. Le Jin believed that the two thousand cavalrymen under his command were all real brave men. They didn't complain about Le Jin's decision to immediately go into battle without rest. They all wanted to vent their grief and anger through fighting.
In contrast, the defenders who had spread out on the slopes seemed more nervous. Generally speaking, when marching and fighting, the scouts are the eyes of the main force. If the scouts are discovered, the distance between the enemy's main force and the main force should be
It can't be too far. Moreover, the firepower came into contact with the 200-man scout cavalry team two days ago. It turned out that the opponent was a well-trained and extremely combat-effective force. They faced a siege with several times their own strength.
, still strong and tenacious, more than 20 people broke out.
The people who participated in the battle that day are still afraid of this mixed army.
"Those guys were so strong that they fell off their horses, jumped up from the ground, and rushed to take a bite of me. Fortunately for me, the guy ran out of strength and lay on top of me and died! If this guy had any more
Strength, I'm afraid..."
At the forefront of two rows of temporary fences built with a few felled trees, two soldiers of the Yuan Army stood in the shadows, talking quietly.
Now everyone in the Yuan army stationed here knows that another enemy scout has come near their station today, so according to normal judgment, the war must be not far away, but they don't know whether it will be today or tomorrow.
Judging from the more than 200 scout patrols sent by the enemy in the first wave, there must be a large group of no less than 5,000 people following behind. If the enemy wants to take this route, they will have to worry about such a blocking force of their own.
If it exists, a large army will definitely be sent to clear it out.
"I hope they will divert to other places and not come to us!" This is the common mentality of this army.
What ordinary soldiers understand, Chunyu Qiong also understands. He understands that if the miscellaneous army in his hands really encounters Cao Zhi's large and powerful troops, they will not be able to withstand it. But Chunyu Qiong did not back down, he chose
He led his troops to stay on the spot and began to set up a defense line here. Although he didn't know why Cao Zhi wanted to go to the west, it was no longer important. He wanted to do everything possible to delay the traitor. Chunyu Qiong was quickly mobilizing
While staying behind Lu Nu's men, Chunyu Qiong quickly passed the information about Cao Zhi's westward escape to Yuan Shao, who was advancing south. Chunyu Qiong asked Yuan Shao to immediately turn 90 degrees with all his troops and reinforce him westward.
######## "Cao Zhi is on his way to the west. How is this possible? He is going west. He is not seeking death. Who will pick him up?"
Before Yuan Shao left Youzhou, Chun Yuqiong's urgent message arrived. He couldn't believe how could Cao Zhi be so stupid as not to return to Yanzhou, but instead run in the opposite direction to the hinterland of Jizhou. Isn't this asking for death?
The large group of troops marched for five days, and the two counselors under Yuan Shao's tent were exhausted. Yuan Shao also showed extraordinary heroism and hard-working spirit when he returned to rescue Jizhou this time. Yuan Shao withdrew his troops from Youzhou.
150,000. Yan Liang attacked Cao Zhi's army on the eastern front and took away 30,000 elite troops. In order to catch up with the rebel army that was most likely to escape, Yuan Shao gave Yan Liang 10,000 cavalry to ensure that they could catch up with Cao's army.
.There is also Wen Chou as the vanguard, and Yuan Shao also gave him 5,000 fine cavalry, allowing him to quickly break into Jizhou. However, the army around Yuan Shao now only has 5,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry.
