Besides, Qiao Rui could not wait for the grain team to arrive, and when he heard from the scouts that hundreds of cavalry were still cruising nearby, he immediately understood Gao Jin's intention, so he summoned all the army commanders, and the military marquis said: "The bandit army will not attack head-on.
The camp is blocking my food route. The food and grass in the camp can only last for three or two days at most. If this continues, if they don't attack, we will all starve to death. Do you have any good ideas?"
Everyone looked at each other, and one person said: "Why don't you ask the Lord for help?"
Qiao Rui thought over and over again and knew that he could no longer hold on, so he sent dozens of scouts and ordered them to break out from all directions and go to deliver messages to the Chinese army.
At the foot of Yinping City, Yuan Shu's army suffered repeated setbacks in attacking the city. Accurate news came that Liu Bei's army was marching towards Donghai County. Therefore, he was anxious and thinking of a good strategy. At this time, Qiao Rui's scouts came to report the emergency. Yuan Shu was furious and started to attack the case, saying
"This thief is so brave, Ji Ling. I will give you two thousand cavalry and raise Jin's head to meet him."
Ji Ling was about to accept the order. Yan Xiang said: "My lord, no."
Yuan Shu said angrily: "Why not?"
Yan Xiang said: "The top priority is to escort the grain and grass to the Qiao Rui camp, otherwise in two days there will be no food in the Qiao Rui camp, and Gao Jin will ride on it. The lord can allocate two thousand sergeants to escort the grain. The war horses in the army are already there.
Not much, just three thousand horses. If two thousand are dispatched to destroy Gao Jin, what should happen if Lu Bu's army in the city breaks through?"
Yuan Shu's territory is in Yang and Yuzhou, which is located in the south and has few horses. Among the 70,000 to 80,000 troops, except for the necessary sentries, scouts, and horses for the grain team, there are only three usable war horses.
Qian, Yan Xiang hopes that Yuan Shu will use the good steel on the blade. After all, Gao Jin is just a group of bandits, so there is no need to expend such efforts.
Yan Xiang has indeed hit Yuan Shu's key point, and his thoughts are still in Yinping. He hopes that Yuan Shu will focus on Lu Bu and defeat Lu Bu, so that all problems can be solved.
Yuan Shu was not a reckless person. After listening to Yan Xiang's persuasion, he felt that what he had just said was very inappropriate, so he smiled and said, "If it weren't for the words of Master Yan, I would have missed something important."
Yan Xiang chuckled and said to Yuan Shu: "Master, please be patient. In fact, what can these hundreds of Gao Jin's cavalry do? Since this man left Sishui Pass, he just deliberately wanted to disrupt our army's position. His intention is to alleviate Yinping.
He was under great pressure and was waiting for Liu Bei's army to come and create a show of force. As for Gao Jin, the more my lord valued him, the more he fell into this man's scheme."
Yuan Shu was thoughtful, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Yan is right."
Yuan Shu was a hero after all. When he heard what Yan Xiang said, he humbly accepted it and said to everyone, "Who wants to escort the grain and grass?"
A general under the tent said: "I am willing to accept the order."
When Yuan Shu saw it, it turned out to be the War Supervisor. He was delighted and said with great joy: "That's very good. I will assign you two thousand sergeants to escort the grain and grass to the bridge camp. You will have a reckless character, so you must not be careful and make no mistakes."
Lejiu said loudly: "My lord, don't worry!"
Yan Xiang sat at the bottom, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. Even though Le was a powerful general in Yuan Shu's army, he was just too reckless and might make mistakes. Yan Xiang sighed in his heart and opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he
It was to put these words back into his stomach.
He is just a small bookkeeper. If he goes to oppose Le in person, he will probably be hated by others. After thinking about it, he should be careful what he says.
………………
After attacking two grain teams in succession, no more grain teams appeared. Later, they captured several scouts who broke out from Qiao Rui's camp. After interrogation, they found out that Qiao Rui had gone to Yuan Shu for help. He cheered up and had already
He had a premonition that a reinforcement of Yuan Shu's army would pass by, so he ordered the soldiers to have a good rest and sent many scouts around to explore.
One day later, a scout finally came to report: "General, there is an army of Yuan Shu coming twenty miles east with provisions and grass, and their number is about two thousand."
Gao Jin nodded and said to Yu Jin: "Wen Ze, tell the soldiers to prepare for battle."
Yu Jin received the order.
Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and donkey-carts formed a long convoy, laden with grain, grass, and baggage, meandering along, accompanied by two thousand elite soldiers in front and behind for protection. Le Jing led a group of elite soldiers to clear the way in front, wielding a broadsword.
, ordered to a military lord beside him: "Did the scout really say that?"
The military prince did not dare to neglect and said quickly: "It is absolutely true that there are many scouts of Lu Bu's army in this area. If the guess is correct, these people should be nearby. General, will you send scouts to General Qiaorui's camp?
Ask him to send troops out of camp to respond."
Le just smiled coldly, the flesh on his face was squeezed into a pile, and he said with a ferocious look: "No, these pirates are just bluffing, they just attack some grain teams. If they really encounter us,
I just cut off that noble dog's head and presented it to the Lord."
The military marquis said sarcastically: "General Shenwu." He no longer dared to speak.
Le then escorted the grain team forward.
A line of wild geese flew through the sky one after another, and a sad and mournful cry sounded in the gradually darkening sky.
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the vast forest in the distance red. A large flag suddenly appeared from the horizon in front of it like a ghost, with the words "Army Commander Shi Gao" written in five large blood-red characters. Under the blood-red banner, a rider rode proudly, like a statue.
Standing in the wind, it feels like you have been waiting here for a thousand years.
Gao Jin stood astride his horse and raised his spear, standing solemnly above the horizon. The wind blew his cloak behind him, making a hunting sound.
"Woo~wu~wu~~wuwuwu~~"
One short horn and one long horn suddenly rose into the sky. Amidst the suffocating loud horn horns, one horse after another gradually appeared, like hundreds of rivers and seas, they converged under the big bloody flag and vowed to die.
Follow the statuesque knight.
After a long time, a large group of cavalry had gathered under the banner, and it was completely dark. Only the cherry-red tassels looked more and more sad under the setting sun. The loud horn horns suddenly stopped, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
In addition to the howling of the wind, only the war horses made a few snorts from time to time. The vast sky and the silent wilderness looked very solemn and desolate.
"The enemy cavalry is attacking..."
Amidst the warning sound, Lejiu cheered up, raised his sword, and shouted: "Set up the formation."
Leju's shouts pierced the sky, the handymen transporting food became a mess, and the escorting elite soldiers began to gather in formation...
At the outermost periphery were grain carts piled as high as a mountain, followed by spearmen, sword and shield men, infantry archers and handymen surrounding the center of the circle. Under the desire to survive, everyone divided their work and cooperated to quickly form a barrier to deal with the cavalry.
Although Le Jun was reckless, he was also an experienced warrior. In just a moment, he had formed the entire food protection team into an iron bucket.
At this time, it was almost dusk, Gao Jin sneered, and ordered all the riders to light torches. He gently held the horse's belly with his legs. The horse shook its head and snorted again, slowly released its four hooves and began to trot.
Behind Jin, hundreds of horsemen followed suit. When the faint thunder gradually grew into a deafening rumble, the war horses had already begun to sprint at full speed. Hundreds of horsemen fought bravely to get ahead. Thousands of horse hooves beat the earth mercilessly. There was only one thing in the world between heaven and earth.
The war horses are neighing and the earth is groaning...
Hundreds of cavalry were like a raging torrent, sweeping towards Yuan Shu's army's train.
Gao Jin had a ferocious look on his face, raised the Emei Spear high above his head, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Whoever stands in my way will die!"
