"Ah!? Isn't Brother Su in danger? No, I'll go back and save him right now!" Zhou Cang panicked when he heard this, slapped his thigh, and turned around to go outside the tent.
"Come back!" Guo Jia whispered, as if his emotions could not bear such fluctuations, his face became sickly flushed, and he coughed violently.
Seeing that Guo Jia was angry, Zhou Cang calmly composed himself and remained silent.
After a while, Guo Jia's breathing became smooth, but his words were already weak: "Su You personally led 500 people to cut off the rear. He had already guessed that the Bingzhou Army was coming. It was not just 500 people. He was preparing for it.
Let's buy time. Only by taking Hu Pass and joining the lord can this crisis turn around."
Zhou Cang said anxiously: "But Brother Su... he only has 500 people, how can he withstand thousands of Bingzhou troops? I..." But before he finished speaking, Guo Jia hit him with one blow.
Broken path:
"Is it useful for you to go? We only have 800 people left now. With such a small force, and on the territory of Bingzhou, how can we compete with others?" Zhou Cang was scolded so hard that he bowed his head and fell silent.
Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while, and said: "This place is less than two hundred miles away from Huguan. Give me the order to go down. There is no need to hide your traces. The whole army must speed up. We must reach Huguan within three days!"
"Three days?" Zhou Cang's body trembled and he said with emotion: "Military advisor, how can you march two hundred miles with the army in three days with your body like this? If anything goes wrong, how can I, old Zhou, tell the master!"
"Go quickly! You are the unforgivable sin for delaying the military situation! My lord has been so kind to me, I dare not forget it at this time. As long as I can win Hu Pass, what regrets will I have to die?" Guo Jia said resolutely, with cloudy eyes.
An indescribable enthusiasm suddenly arose in him.
…………
A hundred miles away, Hao Zhao led 500 remnant soldiers and joined 1,700 infantry behind him.
"What? The captain died in the battle?" After hearing the news, the commanding officer couldn't help but cried out.
"Exactly, the captain was ambushed and was defeated..."
Hao Zhao nodded solemnly. In order not to lose military morale, he finally decided not to tell these people the true cause of Captain Wang's disgraceful death. Although he lost, Hao Zhao did not admit defeat! He could see that he was coming down the hillside at that time.
There are only about four to five hundred Julu soldiers cleaning the battlefield, which means that at least five hundred people are still continuing to attack Huguan!
But regardless of whether he had 500 men or 1,000 men, Hao Zhao was not convinced! That shameful defeat was entirely caused by Captain Wang De's carelessness in underestimating the enemy. If he had led the troops himself, he would never let the Julu Army get what he wanted!
Moreover, although his side was defeated, he still had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, so he still had an advantage in terms of military strength. If he could command his troops, Hao Zhao was confident that he could defeat the enemy troops blocking him in front, which would be a disgrace for the great defeat on Xuegu Road!
"Even Captain Wang is no match for the Julu Army. Everyone, what should we do?" The commander-in-chief, with a pale face, sighed and walked back and forth in the camp.
Hearing that the eight hundred Bingzhou Qingqi were almost completely wiped out, a group of middle and low-level officers also felt timid. A commander came forward and admonished: "Sir, now that Colonel Wang has died in battle, and the people in the army are panicked, how can we still fight? I follow
If the officer sees it, it is better to lead the troops and retreat!"
"Exactly..." As soon as he said this, the others also agreed.
The commander-in-chief of the army didn't think so. He immediately got off the slope and said: "Then pass the order, quickly..." But before he finished speaking, his vision suddenly dimmed, and a man with a height of nine feet
, a big man with a waist and a monkey's back stood in front of him, glaring at him angrily, it was Hao Zhao!
"Hao Quchang, what do you mean...?" the commander-in-chief said with a guilty conscience as he did not dare to look directly into Hao Zhao's angry eyes that were almost spitting fire.
Seeing such a despicable performance by a group of colleagues, Hao Zhao was furious and said: "Master Duwei! The enemy's blocking troops are only four to five hundred men. Although our army has suffered a small setback, it is still several times larger than the enemy. How can we retreat lightly?"
"This..." The captain looked around in panic, and quietly winked at the retreating soldiers.
Naqu Chang pointed his halberd at Hao Zhao and said, "How brave Hao Zhao! How dare you do something like this? Do you want to rebel?"
Hao Zhao glanced sideways at the song, and the steel knife came out of its sheath with a squeaking sound. There was only a brushing sound, and a big head rolled to the ground. Blood spurted out, covering Hao Zhao's face and body. Hao Zhao seemed unaware.
, just looked coldly at the captain who had turned pale and lost his voice in fear!
In the previous battle, Hao Zhao had been holding back his resentment for a long time. Seeing how useless his colleagues were, he could no longer suppress the anger bursting out of his chest! With one knife, he cut off the commander who only knew how to flatter. Hao Zhao suddenly felt
There was an indescribable joy in my heart, and my murderous intention became more intense. The bloody steel knife slowly pointed at the already frightened Captain!
"Hao...Hao Zhao! You...you are so courageous! You dare to kill the murderer!"
Hao Zhao held the steel knife in his hand, as majestic as a mountain, and said coldly and disdainfully: "You are a cowardless person! You were ordered by the Governor to fight against thieves, but you were already so fearful even before the battle. Such despicable behavior, I am ashamed of you.
Be company!"
The captain took a few steps back with his sword drawn, and stammered: "Bold...Bold! Come...here comes someone, Hao Zhao is plotting a rebellion! Take it with me! Kill him...
..."
Hao Zhao roared loudly! The steel knife struck at the captain fiercely. The captain didn't even bother to shout. He raised his sword and heard a crisp clang. The weapon was anxious. The captain couldn't bear it. Hao Zhao was so powerful that the tiger's mouth broke apart and the sword sank.
After falling to the ground, Hao Zhao stepped forward and chopped off the captain's head with one strike!
Hao Zhao showed off his power and killed two people in a row! He was as majestic as a god. He picked up the captain's head and shouted to everyone: "We have been ordered by the governor to go out to war. This thief fought cowardly in the face of the enemy and confused the emperor. I have already beheaded him."
!Anyone who retreats again will be shot without mercy!"
Everyone in the tent was shocked for a while, fell to the ground and worshiped: "Everyone is willing to obey your command!"
Hao Zhao coldly swept away the people lying on the ground and said: "In that case, everyone go down and prepare, and come with me to march into the army tomorrow morning!"
On the second day, Hao Zhao led his troops to the valley again, and saw piles of rocks in the valley, and hundreds of headless corpses lying strewn in the valley. Many sergeants who had seen such a scene for the first time, one by one,
Their faces were pale and they couldn't help but feel sick and vomited. Only the four to five hundred people led by Hao Zhao could barely remain calm because they had seen it with their own eyes before.
Hao Zhao immediately sent an order and sent more than a hundred people to clear the rocks. He also sent more than 200 people to the steep slopes on both sides to search carefully.
On the steep slope, Su You, who was holding a straw stick in his mouth, looked coldly at the approaching Bingzhou Army, made a gesture, and hundreds of strong bows behind him were raised with a creak!
