Two or three hours passed during this pursuit. It was not until it could be judged from various signs that, except for Kuitou's headquarters, Hu Qi no longer had an organization of more than a thousand men, that the generals withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
There is no point in pursuing anymore. With a weak infantry against superior cavalry, even if they win, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the opponent. If you pursue too deeply, you will take unnecessary risks.
In fact, under such climate conditions, at least half of the Hu Qi who escaped alone into the wilderness would die of hunger and cold.
Although Youzhou is remote, it is not uninhabited. However, since the Xianbei army entered the pass, Youzhou has been severely harmed. At present, only Yuyang, Fanyang, and the southern part of Yan State are still somewhat popular. Other places, with
To describe it as "ten houses and nine empty houses" may be too optimistic. The current desolate scene in Youzhou, especially the two counties west of Xiguan, is almost the same as the desert outside the Great Wall.
Wang Yu did not join the pursuit. He thought Gongsun Zan would come out of the city to see him, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Gongsun Zan. Instead, Huang Ze came.
Seeing Huang Ze, Wang Yu suddenly realized where the reinforcements came from.
On that day, he sent a team of elite scouts out of the customs to deliver the message. As a result, they encountered barbarians on the way and slaughtered the people. The scouts got angry and slaughtered all the barbarians who were escorting the people. After that, the pair of scouts were divided into dead ends, and the two groups continued to rush to the original place.
destination, all the way back to Jixian to report the news, while Huang Ze stayed alone to guide the refugees to save themselves and escape.
When he first got the news, Wang Yu was shocked. This mission was too dangerous, and Huang Zhong had no heirs so far, so he thought highly of his nephew. If there was an eventuality, he would not be able to survive after returning to Gaotang.
How to explain to the veteran?
Now look at it, Huang Ze's mission was actually completed quite well, and he brought more than a thousand refugees. It can be seen that he did not just escape during this period, but was guerrilla while rescuing other people. Not only that, in the end,
At the critical moment of the decisive battle, he also pulled the team to Juyong City.
Looking at the general with a frosty look on his face, Wang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.
Praising him? Definitely not!
Previously, it was reasonable for him to take it upon himself to stay and rescue the victims. If it were Wang Yu himself, he might do the same thing. But this last move was too risky. With more than a thousand victims, it could only be a bluff at best.
If they are discovered, it doesn't take much. As long as the Xianbei people separate hundreds of cavalry, not one of the more than a thousand people, including Huang Ze, will survive.
Scold him? Wang Yu couldn't even curse him.
Judging from the travel-worn appearance of the other party, most likely they came all the way. The bluff of more than a thousand people did not have the effect of reversing the situation, but it actually accelerated Hu Qi's collapse, causing Murong Feng to kill people with borrowed swords and drive away tigers and devour wolves.
The plan failed to achieve full success.
Judging from the momentum of Hu Qi's final counterattack, without Huang Ze's bluff, the Han army would have needed at least half an hour to completely suppress and defeat them. In such a fierce battle, half an hour may mean
Thousands of loyal warriors suffered casualties.
From this perspective, Huang Ze has made meritorious service.
"You, you, what would you like me to say to you?" In the end, Wang Yu could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"The general also didn't expect that my lord and his colleagues were so powerful. Twenty thousand infantry actually defeated a hundred thousand horsemen! When the general heard the news, he thought the war would be stalemate for a while, and thought that if he bluffed, he might be able to fight.
The random deployment of Huqi creates opportunities for the army, who knows..."
When he first met Wang Yu, Huang Ze was still a little worried. Seeing Wang Yu's smile, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, if I had known this, the general would have come back alone.
Find a few Hu chiefs to kill, so that General Ziyi doesn't have to take all the credit..."
Huang Ze knew that his lord was easygoing to his family, but he was still a little cautious and specifically mentioned Tai Shici.
When it comes to making decisions without authorization and taking risks, no one in the army is more chaotic than Taishi Ci. During the Hebei War, the lord asked him to harass the enemy's rear and join the friendly forces. As a result, he opened up a battlefield behind the enemy's rear;
His order was to explore the road and establish several strongholds. As a result, he turned the three Koreas upside down and almost arrested the kings of the three Koreas.
Compared with Tai Shici's self-assertion, this time he can only be regarded as a minor witch.
Of course, there are people who are more adventurous than Taishi Ci, and the lord in front of me is none other than the lord. In terms of courage alone, if the lord ranks second, I am afraid no one in the world would dare to claim the first place. In the final analysis, this is what the lord will lead
What kind of soldiers?
Of course, his little thought could not be hidden from Wang Yu, but the latter could only smile bitterly and had no choice. This was one of the side effects of Zhuge Liang's repeated reminders to himself.
"Huang Shuimu, you're good at arranging people behind the scenes!" Wang Yu shook his head and was thinking of giving him a few words of encouragement when he suddenly heard a majestic voice.
Wang Yu could tell who the person was without having to look up. He felt puzzled and looked up at the sky, wondering: "You are the first one to come back? Ziyi, what kind of wind is blowing today?"
"
The army pursued at a very fast speed. By the time Hu Qi was completely routed, the main force had already chased them more than ten miles away. Wang Yu had no way of issuing an order to withdraw his troops. He could only let the generals decide for themselves when to end the pursuit.
Taishi Ci was the most bellicose, and he could turn even a small battle into a big one. In such a big battle today, he should have been chasing after him until he finally came back. But he actually came back first. Wang Yu couldn't help it.
Not surprised.
"Who can compete with the wife for the credit?" Taishi Ci walked up to Wang Yu in two steps, held his hands in front of him as a gift, glanced at Huang Ze, and sighed bitterly: "Those cavalry are simply a group of monsters, they were hit by them.
, it’s hard to leave a whole body, that’s called ferocious, and so is Madam... Hey, if I had known this, I shouldn’t have gone to Sanhan, leading the cavalry to fight is truly majestic.”
That wasn't the only thing that made him depressed.
In today's battle, from a strategic point of view, Wang Yu was the most brilliant, as he single-handedly led this classic long-distance battle; from a tactical point of view, Zhang Liao's command at the last moment was remarkable; even Huang Ze's bluff
The timing is worth mentioning.
However, these were not what Tai Shici cared about most. He did not regard himself as a Confucian general commanding Ruoding. The person who really made him feel that he had been robbed of the limelight was Lu Qiling.
This lady is not ordinary ferocious! From the beginning of the war, she has always been at the forefront. Her painted halberd is like a dragon entering the sea, turning the river upside down and killing countless people. In the middle of the battle, she once entered the battle alone and was surrounded by hundreds of enemy troops.
Surrounded, she persisted so forcefully. This bravery and courage are truly amazing.
But Tai Shici felt aggrieved.
Before Lu Qiling got married, the limelight of riding alone in battle, beheading generals and seizing the flag was always hers. Now that it's over, it's too late to regret it.
That eldest lady is not an ordinary military commander, but the Lord’s wife! Now that she is in charge of the personal guard cavalry, even if she is valued again, can she still get it back?
When he thought that in future battles, Lu Qiling would take Wang Yu's place and rush to the front, Taishi Ci's heart suddenly went cold from the inside out, and he felt like crying. It was really undesirable to change jobs casually.
He is a person with a very shallow belly, and his emotions and sorrows are all displayed on his face. Although he deliberately avoided speaking these words, the sourness in his tone cannot be concealed. Huang Ze and his soldiers are all charming.
Not only that, if it wasn't in front of Wang Yu, I would have laughed.
Wang Yu also smiled, patted the brave general on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Ziyi doesn't need to worry. If you want to lead the cavalry into battle, there is still a chance."
"How is it possible? Unless..." Taishi Ci looked at Wang Yu's face for a moment, then thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "So that's it! Okay, great! This battle is over, and the next step is
It's spring, my lord, you must not relax."
"What kind of spring is so relaxing? Besides, who told you that the war is over?" Wang Yu was puzzled, wondering if Ziyi was too sad and a little out of his mind, otherwise why would he be talking nonsense?
"Is there any more fighting?" Taishi Ci was also stunned, and Huang Ze's ears also perked up. This group of arrogant and powerful generals in Qingzhou were never afraid of fighting against powerful enemies. The only thing they were afraid of was not fighting. When they heard Wang Yu's words,
Even the soldiers were excited.
"Of course there will be a fight, but the Xianbei people did not surrender unconditionally..." Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "We will discuss this later at the military meeting. First, what is the nonsense you just said?"
"Ah..." Taishi Ci stuttered in his mouth, and Wang Yu stared at him for a long time before replying vaguely: "That is... spring, my lord, you and your wife are engaged anyway...
...When the wife is pregnant... Ahem, my lord, you understand anyway." Seeing that Wang Yu's expression was wrong, he quickly changed the subject and asked: "Otherwise, my lord, what do you mean?"
I understand, of course I understand. Not only Wang Yu understands, but Huang Ze and others also understand, and they all think in their hearts: Fortunately, Madam is not here, otherwise, we would not be able to fight with this guy who speaks freely and has no ethics.
"You guys have been thinking about something all day long!" Wang Yu hugged Taishi Ci directly and scolded angrily: "There are still battles to be fought in Northern Xinjiang, and the two cavalry armies need to be expanded.
I will transfer Wen Yuan out at that time, and you can go and help Qiling..."
Today, Lu Qiling rode alone in the formation. Not only Zhang Liao was frightened, but Wang Yu was also worried.
At first, he proposed marriage to Lu Bu out of pure utilitarianism, but after getting along for a while, the relationship between him and the girl also became deeper. In ancient times, the experience of husband and wife fighting side by side on the battlefield was absolutely unique.
.
He now somewhat understands the mood of Zhuge Liang and other staff. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and you will encounter risks at any time. Watching the people you care about go through life and death is indeed a test of your heart.
It is definitely not possible to ask the girl to give up her military power. After all, this has been agreed upon a long time ago. If we really want to push the matter forward, it may anger the girl and arouse the suspicion of the Bingzhou Army.
Even if Taishi Ci didn't complain, Wang Yu planned to transfer Taishi Ci back to his personal bodyguard cavalry.
Zhang Liao's strengths are mainly reflected in military strategy. His martial arts are actually about the same as Zhang Jia, not top-notch. In today's situation, Zhang Liao is powerless. If it were Taishi Ci, how difficult would it be to break through the encirclement? Anyway, the battle of the cavalry
There is not much emphasis on the method. It is just a hard fight. It is too unfair to let Zhang Liao serve as Lu Qiling's deputy all the time.
After explaining, Taishi Ci finally felt relieved and became happy again: "By the way, my lord, it's been so long since the battle ended, why hasn't General Gongsun come out yet? Is it possible that he is still putting on airs and wants you to take the initiative to pay homage to him?"
"
"Zi Yi, be careful what you say! Someone has been sent to inquire. You should be calm and calm." Wang Yu quickly stopped after hearing Tai Shi Ci's explicit words. Gongsun Zan was very proud, but he was not that kind.
What an unreasonable person. On that day in Luoyang, after he accepted the money and food from his aid, he thanked him in person.
Looking up at Juyong City, Wang Yu felt more and more doubts in his heart, and an ominous premonition quietly arose.
"Lord..."
"Wang Junhou..."
While he was thinking about it, someone walked quickly in the darkness. Wang Yu took a closer look and saw that the person in front was the messenger he sent, and the person behind was Zou Dan!
This gentleman has also experienced a hard battle for most of the day. The broken armor on his body has not been sorted out, and there are stains of blood. It can be seen by the light of the torch that several huge wounds are turning outwards, which is shocking. However, Wang Yu is most concerned about it.
It's not these, but the tears on Zou Dan's face!
Wang Yu's heart suddenly trembled: "Zihuan, brother Bogui..."
Zou Dan fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Wang Junhou, please go to the city as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid..." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
