Chapter 615 Guan Gong shows his power and ambushed Yuan Shao!
Yuan Shao and his men quickly retreated and gradually moved away from M County. He found that there were no pursuers in the rear, and his heart became lighter. As long as he escaped Zhang Liao's pursuit and went south to rest, he could make a comeback.
Under the night, torches burned one after another. Looking from a distance, the army heading south seemed like a fiery dragon moving forward.
After midnight, the army had arrived at the border of Mo County.
Gao Lan followed Yuan Shao. He looked back, his eyes a little worried, and said: "Your Majesty, we are far away from the county seat of M County. However, Zhang He has not caught up until now. Do you want to arrange sentinels to go back and find out? What's going on?"
"What's there to find out?"
Yuan Shao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "If Jun Yi can evacuate, he will naturally withdraw. I also believe that he can come back. Eight hundred Euphorbia soldiers, one to ten, can stop the army and protect themselves."
"What's more, Jun Yi led eight hundred Euphorbia soldiers in formation, which is close to rivers and official roads in mountains and forests, which can further weaken Zhang Liao's offensive. Such a geographical advantage, coupled with the combat effectiveness of the Euphorbia soldiers, can delay it for a few hours. normal."
Gao Lan was about to speak but stopped.
However, seeing Yuan Shao's somewhat unhappy look, he took back his words and nodded silently.
Yuan Shao continued: "Now we go directly south to Gaoyang County to garrison troops. Gaoyang County has a certain amount of food and grass, and the city is strong. Now that Xu You is gone, we can use the city defense to consume Zhang Liao's army."
Gao Lan nodded and said no more.
He was actually a little heartbroken.
These generals from Jizhou, although Yuan Shao relies heavily on them, can still lead troops. In fact, those who have not entered Yuan Shao's core are people who Yuan Shao can abandon at any time.
Otherwise, Zhang He would not have been thrown to the back of the palace and would have been ignored.
The army continued to move south and walked some distance, leaving Muxian County and entering Gaoyang County.
A mountainous area in Gaoyang County.
This is the only way to go from Mo County to Gaoyang County. The official road is at the bottom of the mountain forest. On the other side of the mountain forest is a big river.
The river is Sushui, which is a river that passes through most of the River Kingdom. It is winter now, the river water has reduced, and the river bed is exposed a lot, but the flowing river water is still a bit fast.
There is an army hiding in the mountains and forests.
The leader of the army was Guan Yu.
During the day, Guan Yu quietly went south with 8,000 elite troops, arriving at a place adjacent to the Sushui River and these hills. The reason why he chose this place relied on Zhang Liao's familiarity with the Hejian Kingdom, because Zhang Liao had already understood the terrain of the Hejian Kingdom. Landform.
Guan Yu's eight thousand soldiers, three thousand elite cavalry, and five thousand infantry.
The infantrymen who were ambushing beside the mountains and forests were all ready with bows and arrows, waiting quietly. The three thousand cavalry were hiding in the mountains and forests.
Guan Yu leaned against a tree, squinting his eyes slightly and closing his eyes to rest.
Rustling!
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
A soldier came in a hurry and reported: "General Guan, Yuan Shao and his army are on their way. Yuan Shao's army will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most."
"I know, inform all the sentinels, hide them all, and stop asking for information."
Guan Yu gave the order decisively.
As long as Yuan Shao's retreat is confirmed, Xu You's plan to burn down the granary in M County will be successful, and Yuan Shao will definitely flee in fright. He is waiting here, and there is no need for sentries to keep an eye on him, so as not to alert the snake.
Time passed little by little, and more than a quarter of an hour passed. Guan Yu was hiding in the forest and saw a long and winding team of fire dragons appearing on the official road in the distance behind.
Burning torches are the most obvious clusters of coordinates under the dark night sky, which can be seen instantly.
"Command, the archers cock their bows and arrows."
Guan Yu gave the order decisively.
The order was notified, and Guan Yu's five thousand soldiers passed it on word of mouth and each prepared.
Most of the elite troops led by Yuan Shao had arrived at the area where the Chu River flows, and were rushing along the official road along the river embankment. The army was marching at a leisurely pace, and the soldiers also relaxed their vigilance.
Guan Yu hid in the forest, watching quietly, waiting for the order to attack.
His hiding position is at the end of the team, which is not suitable for giving orders. The person giving orders tonight is Guan Jing, who is ambushing two miles ahead. When Guan Jing gives the order to attack, there will be people along the two or three miles of the official road.
Soldiers shoot arrows.
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly, and Danfeng's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
This battle is a great achievement.
"call out!!"
Suddenly, a loud arrow rose in the night sky.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Immediately afterwards, two sounding arrows took off again.
Boom! Boom!!!
The rapid sound of war drums spread from the area two miles ahead. The drums were loud and endless, and suddenly resounded in the night sky, making people even more panicked.
"Behead Yuan Shao, kill Yuan Shao."
In the mountains and forests along the official road, there were shouts one after another.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
Along with the shouts, dense bows and arrows were fired from the edge of the mountain forest. This was not an area of more than a hundred feet shooting arrows, but soldiers shooting arrows in an area several miles away.
The sound of drums, shouts, and the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air came and went.
For a time, the offensive was overwhelming.
The soldiers of the Yuan Army who were retreating south were already attacked by Muxian County. Many of them seemed to be frightened. They had a smooth journey and finally settled down. Suddenly, they were attacked again. The soldiers of the Yuan Army were so frightened that they lost their souls.
People ran forward in panic.
"There's an ambush, run away!"
"There are Youzhou troops in the mountains, run away quickly."
"Let's go into the river. There isn't much water on the river bed. Jump down to avoid it."
Countless soldiers shouted loudly and ran around. The army on the battlefield is not afraid of being blocked from the front. Even if a large-scale enemy comes to kill them, as long as their defense line is stable and they fight steadily, even if there are losses, they will not be quick.
collapse.
The most terrifying thing is that the soldiers collapsed.
Once the people's hearts are broken, the soldiers flee in a hurry, swarming and escaping, which is the most terrifying thing. Because after the army collapses, it is unable to command, and the soldiers only know how to run around and can no longer unite.
They would even trample on and push each other, further causing countless losses to the army.
This is the biggest trouble.
This is what Yuan Jun is like at this moment.
While rushing on the road in the middle of the night, shouts could be heard in the mountains and forests for several miles, as if there were armies all over the mountains and plains along the entire area, as if countless bows and arrows were shooting at them, which made people feel frightened.
Yuan Shao is retreating at the front.
He was leisurely and in a much better mood. Now, when he heard the shouts of killing around him, he turned around and saw soldiers running around, saw the soldiers collapse, and many people kept jumping into the river. He even ordered the army to be organized one after another.
Unable to stabilize the situation, Yuan Shao's heart collapsed.
