Chapter 419: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North
When Yuan Shao fled, he did so in a very low-key manner. Even if Xu You didn't tell him, he knew that the three enemy armies on the battlefield had no reason to let him go.
The more likely it is that day.
He didn't even bring his general flag with him. The only thing that might reveal his whereabouts in advance was the message sent by his close friend to his son-in-law Gao Gan. However, considering the time when this message was sent, it was not a big deal before he set off.
, his escape plan was still perfect.
Of course, the chain reaction caused by his behavior was not considered by him.
No matter how the troops died down, the movement of two thousand riders could not be ignored. Gao Lan's reaction was the most direct. He already had personal guards around him who were responsible for liaising with the main camp, with the last glimmer of hope. When he saw
When the coach abandoned everyone again and told Gao Lan, the latter was devastated.
Then, Gao Lan made an unexpected but reasonable move. He suddenly drew his sword, swung it down hard, and chopped down his general's flag.
The general's flag is not just a command flag used to direct battles, it is the soul of an army. When the general's flag falls, it means that the general has died or fled. Seeing this, Gao Lanjun's reaction can be imagined
You know - the whole army was defeated.
Gao Lan took the last dozen or so dead soldiers and rushed towards Taishi Ci, who was shouting for a fierce battle, and were quickly annihilated in the chaos.
As Wang Yu expected, the final choice of this general who was easily influenced by others and had no independent opinions was the same as that of his deputy general.
At the moment when Gao Lanjun collapsed, the dead men summoned by Yuan Shao had not had time to see Gao Gan. However, Gao Gan was not stupid, and he immediately realized what had happened.
Both psychologically and practically, he was much better prepared than Gao Lan. Since the war on his side was relatively stalemate and no one had high expectations for him, he did not put all his strength into the battle.
, his most elite 3,000 direct troops have always been on standby in the rear, but they took action a few times at the beginning of the relative crisis.
He didn't even care about Yuan Shao taking the lead in escaping. He was also from a high-ranking family, so how could he not understand his father-in-law's feelings? The only thing that made him depressed was that his father-in-law was so ungrateful.
"At least make an appointment in advance..." He complained, then waved his hand, pointed to the north, and shouted: "All troops, move north, withdraw!"
He did not choose the same direction as Yuan Shao. It would have been too easy for him to be pursued. His soldiers were all infantry. He could only give his father-in-law the rear if he ran over. The opponent was so ruthless, so he couldn't catch up with him, could he?
Presumably in the eyes of the enemy, he was just a vassal, and no one would chase him. That Zhang Fei had an unyielding attitude, but he cut off his own warriors and left 5,000 people to kill until the dust settled.
, it’s too late for him to chase him, right?
The only one worth worrying about is Tian Kai.
Tian Kai has not engaged in any battle, and his position happens to be stuck to the north. It would be great fun if he could block him head-on, or block him from the side.
However... Gao Gan sighed and could only resign himself to fate. Originally, there were only two directions to choose from. Going west was a dead end, but there was still a glimmer of hope going north, right?
Gao Gan's worries were justified. Wang Yu ignored him at all. After defeating Gao Lan's army, Yu Lin's army detached a small number of troops to eliminate the last resistance. The large group of troops did not even glance at Gao Gan's army to the north. They stayed in place.
Gather and start turning.
As for matters such as capturing prisoners and clearing the battlefield, they were all left to the auxiliary troops.
After the heavy cavalry completed drilling through, they had no intention of chasing the fleeing enemy. They just sent a few injured cavalry to Yuan Shao's main camp, cut down the general's flag, and then turned around with the Yulin army and pointed the spearhead at Yuan Shao.
Hu Qi is still fighting among trapped beasts.
However, Tian Kai was eager to try.
Although he also understood that his troops had limited combat power and it was enough to complete the containment mission, the feeling of standing by and watching during the war was not very good after all.
But there is no way, the high-ranking officials are indeed very difficult to deal with. Even if the whole army besieges them together, they may not be able to defeat them in a short time. Didn't you see that under Zhang Fei's fierce attack, he still had three thousand reserves?
Now that Yuan's army was defeated, it was a good opportunity to defeat the lost dog. How could he let it go? But just when he was dispatching his troops and preparing to intercept, an accident happened.
The Jizhou army that was confronting him suddenly opened its camp gates, rolled up its flags, and eight thousand men and horses screamed in the snow. The wolves and wolves ran away, and they even ran away!
Tian Kai was stunned.
He was not a quick-witted person and could not figure out why the other party would run away. The king had promised them that as long as they surrendered before and after the war, the lives of the generals would be saved, so there was no need for them to run away.
What's more, where can they escape to? Go to Hejian and seek refuge with the Wang Clan? The latter may not be able to protect himself, right? Regardless of his previous aggressiveness, it was actually all about relying on human power. Yuan Shao, the master, is finished, and the grasshopper of the Wang Clan is still alive.
How many days can you jump?
There is no need for Wang Junhou to help. As long as the lord takes care of the wild dogs of Xianbei and Wuhuan, he can free up his hands and kick the king's gate flat with just a lift of his foot.
Therefore, the sudden retreat of the generals in Jizhou was really puzzling to Tian Kai, so much so that he fell into a brief daze. It was not until his personal guards reminded him that he came back to his senses.
"General, what should we do?"
"What else can we do?" Tian Kai waved his hand domineeringly and said energetically: "Chase! Those who run away are all because of evil intentions, so chase them! Yuan Shao's main camp also ran a lot, and Wang Junhou had no time to pay attention to them, so let
Brothers, please work hard and catch those over there too."
A military lord smiled broadly and said: "Look at what you said, general, why is this so hard? We captured the prisoners without even releasing an arrow. This is a great thing! Don't rob us.
The people running over to Yuan Shao’s main camp are all famous people! Normally, I feel like I’m cheap when I talk to you, but this time I want to see what it’s like for a famous person to kneel down and beg for mercy, haha.”
"Okay, don't fight about this. Anyway, if you catch someone, you can watch them in the camp." Tian Kai waved his hand to interrupt the fight among the guards, pointed at Gao Ganjun, and said with a smile: "Gao Gan is indeed Yuan Shao's son-in-law.
After Chen Liu became a prominent member of the clan, aren't you jealous if you look at the equipment on his soldiers, which are much better than ours?"
"Of course I'm greedy, but..." The guards nodded hurriedly, with stars in their eyes, but they were also doubtful. Wouldn't the general do such a good thing himself?
"The movements of Jiao Chu's gang are a bit strange. I personally chased them, tried to catch them alive, and asked them what was going on."
Tian Kai divided his troops into three groups, and a chase in the snow began.
All this has nothing to do with Yu Fuluo. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the movements of the battlefield. In fact, even if he paid attention to the whole process, he would only feel relieved. At least... the Youzhou Army didn't come to besiege him, right?
The enemy's current offensive was already too much for him to bear.
The appearance of the Yellow Turban Army was too sudden. Tens of thousands of people were advancing without any sound. Under normal circumstances, the movement should have been noticed several miles away. Unfortunately, this is not a grassland, and it seems that it is no longer within the jurisdiction of Changshengtian.
The sky was on the side of the Han people, and heavy snow obscured the actions of the Yellow Turban Army. The tens of thousands of troops actually sneaked to a distance of three hundred steps before being discovered.
Then, there is the encirclement, the real encirclement!
When Zhao Yun attacked Huchuquan from behind, the leaders of Qubeihe tribe were so angry that they made arrogant remarks, asking Wang Yu to surround the 20,000 troops if he had the ability. It was based on this impossible situation that the Xiongnu leaders made up their minds.
, launch a full-scale attack.
As a result, this impossible situation really happened.
The Yellow Turban Army didn't know how many people came. Everywhere they looked, there was a surge of people, and the momentum was no worse than when 20,000 Hu cavalry launched a charge.
After seeing the opponent's flag, Humphrey instantly understood why the opponent was willing to spend so much money to join this war.
Under the yellow scarf general's flag are two secondary flags, "Black Mountain" and "Zhang", which clearly indicate the identity of the visitor. That day in Guangping, Zhang Yan was ambushed by Hu cavalry and suffered heavy losses.
There are ten thousand reasons to take revenge, how can thousands of miles of mountains and rivers stop him?
His army almost crossed the entire Jizhou, appeared in front of the enemy, and cut off the retreat of the Huns.
The Black Mountain Army not only blocked Hu Qi's retreat, but because there were too many people, he also conveniently expanded his formation to the northern line, and together with the Qingzhou Qingqi who were traveling all over the country, they blocked Hu Qi's northward escape route.
Behind Qingqi, the Yulin army, which had just defeated the powerful enemy, was gathering and turning. In front of Rulin's formation, the Black Armored Cavalry was watching with eager eyes!
Needless to say, the Qingzhou Army, which had great morale in the east, was fighting like crazy. Not only were the Hu cavalry, including Yuvluo's elite soldiers from the king's tent, unable to make even an inch of advance, they were beaten back step by step!
Yes, such a violent offensive cannot last for long, but that is when there are only two armies confronting each other on the battlefield. The attack sequence in front is blocked and defeated, and the new troops behind can come up for reinforcements.
Now, the road behind was cut off, and the Yellow Turban Army appeared with such great momentum that Hu Qi, who was in the last two attack sequences, stopped his horse on the spot and looked back in astonishment.
Five waves of majestic attacks only lasted two and a half waves, and then the tragedy began to repeat itself.
That's right, it's a repetition. Just like what happened in Qubei and Huchuquan, Sharp was blocked, then besieged, and finally beaten.
Three times, first defuse and then counterattack, the troops taking action were different, and the process was not much similar, but the core idea was the same, which was to maximize the method of restraining cavalry.
Through the use of the terrain, the cooperation of various arms, and the psychology of Yu Fuluo and others, through layer-by-layer restrictions, they finally succeeded in trapping Hu Qi in a narrow strip, making them unable to speed up and could only huddle together and be beaten obediently.
.
At this moment, Hu Qi no longer looked like a group of wolves, but a group of sheep, weak and helpless sheep. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
