Chapter 1275: Pound retreats

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan from Hanping City led the troops and ran for five miles in a row.

During this journey, quite a few soldiers broke away from the ranks. Some of them were too tired to keep up with the pace of the big army. Some of them can't see the future, so they quietly leave while everyone is not paying attention.

Of course, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have always been chased by Liu Beijun led by Xu Shu.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, who were in Yizhou and shocked the Quartet, finally realized what it means to be disheartened and embarrassed.

At this moment, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were like lost dogs, beaten by Liu Beijun.

Fortunately, in the end, he got rid of Liu Beijun and got a chance to breathe.

Neither Zhang Ren nor Yan Yan dared to stop and ordered the soldiers to continue advancing. It's just that the soldiers were relying on willpower to persist just now, and they were worried that they would be killed by Liu Beijun so they desperately ran away. Now that Liu Beijun has not caught up, the tense nerves of these soldiers have begun to relax. As soon as the nerves relaxed, physical tiredness welled up, and the soldiers now felt that they could not move forward. They all sat slumped in place, gasping for air.

Zhang Ren kept asking them to stand up, but the soldiers looked exhausted one by one.

"Hey! The morale is like this, it seems that the destiny is like this! When Zhang Ren saw this situation, he began to be discouraged.

Humans are sensitive animals and are easily affected by their surroundings. The calm Zhang Ren was unconsciously affected because of various changes.

It's deadly!

Before Zhang Ren and the others could catch their breath, shouts of killing sounded behind them. As if frightened, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan both stood up and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get up.

No matter how Zhang Ren and Yan Yan shouted, most of the soldiers did not move, they were about to give up, and they didn't want to run blindly anymore.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan really didn't expect that the prestige of the two of them would become so fragile, and the soldiers actually didn't listen to orders.

Under the leadership of Xu Shu, Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan and a large number of Liu Beijun soldiers quickly killed Zhang Ren and them.

Seeing the defeated soldiers sitting on the ground in the distance, Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan were overjoyed. Just now, Xu Shu asked them to suspend the pursuit, and they were chasing for about a quarter of an hour, saying that it would have unexpected effects.

Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan believed it, they were all subdued by the strength shown by Xu Shu, and everything Xu Shu said was correct.

Xu Shu knows people's hearts very well, and knows that when people escape, the most serious thing is not the pursuers behind them, but their own will. People themselves have great potential, and they can run for a long time by willpower. But once you relax and your nerves relax, you can't lift your spirits anymore. This is why Xu Shu deliberately slowed down the pursuit.

Xu Shu is familiar with this aspect, after all, Liu Bei often fled before arriving in Yizhou, and he has found a set of methods.

As if seeing the prey, Liu Beijun smiled one by one, as long as he accelerated his pace and surrounded the enemy troops in front of him who had little ability to resist, then the military merit would be in hand.

When they saw Liu Beijun killing with their own eyes, the soldiers who were paralyzed on the ground struggled to get up.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan glanced at each other, knowing that it was impossible for them to escape now, and the two of them drew their swords together, preparing to fight Liu Beijun to the death.

Rather than being chased and beaten by Xu Shu in a nest, and finally being captured or killed in humiliation, it is better to fight vigorously and pull a few cushions.

There were quite a few soldiers following behind Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and their resolute expressions showed their attitude.

Maybe it's a coincidence, Liu Beijun rushed here, and the Jingzhou Liu Jun troops led by Pang De also rushed here.

"Huh? Reinforcements? It's Jingzhou's reinforcements! Yan Yan exclaimed.

The soldiers who had wanted to sit on the ground stood up, and they found that reinforcements had really arrived.

Xu Shu was not calm anymore, the soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Imperial Court actually arrived so quickly, and there were a lot of changes at this time.

Pang De also discovered Zhang Ren and them, and from the clothes and armor on their bodies, they knew that these embarrassed troops were the original army of Yizhou. And the troops that are constantly approaching in the distance are obviously Liu Bei's men.

Now that he knew which part it was, Pound knew what to do.

"Kill Liu Bei's dogs!" Pang De held a big knife and pointed directly at Liu Beijun.

The soldiers of Jingzhou Liu Jun quickened their pace, and they couldn't see that they were running long distances before.

The troops under Xu Shu are a combination of garrisons from all over Yizhou. If you want to talk about combat power, it can't be much higher. But after the last victory, their morale was high, and they felt that they were invincible in the world, and they rushed towards Pound and them without fear.

The two armies collided and began to fight.

This was the first head-to-head confrontation between the forces of the Shenwu Imperial Court and the troops of Yizhou.

Although the number of troops on Pound's side is small, because of Pound's personal bravery, the soldiers will become very strong under his leadership.

Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan didn't know how powerful Pang De was, and they weren't afraid of Pang De's bravery at all. At the same time, compared with Lei Tong and Yang Hong, Zhuo Zhen and Wu Lan's force is higher.

In a short period of time, Liu Jun of Jingzhou and Liu Beijun led by Pang De fought to a draw.

As soon as Xu Shu saw that his troops could be evenly matched with the Liu army in Jingzhou, his fists couldn't help but clench.

You must know that the troops under Liu Bei's command have always had a sense of fear of the troops of the Shenwu Imperial Court, even if they are veterans of a hundred battles, they will be timid when they see the troops of the Shenwu Imperial Court. However, today's Liu Beijun did not show any timidity at all, and even took the initiative to fight with Pang De.

This spiritual outlook is what Xu Shu has always wanted.

In the early years, Liu Bei's troops had such morale and combat power, so why did Liu Bei have to run from Jingzhou to Yizhou.

The previous ones were too embarrassing, and Xu Shu felt ashamed. Now that he can have such combat power, Xu Shu said that it was fake not to be surprised.

"Maybe this time we can reverse the shadow of the passive beating of the main father." Xu Shu suddenly had such an ambition in his heart.

In fact, Liu Beijun in Yizhou really has the upper hand now. They are so numerous that they can consume the Jingzhou army led by Pang De with their lives.

Slowly, Pound also realized that something was wrong. These Liu Bei's minions seem to be different from the legends. In the past, Liu Bei's troops, when they encountered the troops of the Shenwu Imperial Court, were often defeated and fled. What the hell is the army that is on par with Liu Jun in Jingzhou now?

"Kill!" Behind Xu Shu, a large force under the banner of "Wei" appeared.

This is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, the team led by Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang.

Liu Bei learned that Xu Shu defeated Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and he thought that this time he would solve Zhang Ren and Yan Yan at one time. So Liu Bei ordered Wei Yan to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses towards Hanping City, where Xu Shu was located.

When Wei Yan arrived, Hanping City had already fallen into Xu Shu's hands. Liu Beijun, who also occupied Hanping City, learned that Xu Shu was leading the army to chase and kill Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and Wei Yan came with soldiers and horses without saying a word, and happened to come here at this time.

When a black figure appeared, Pound knew that he was not good. Reinforcements from the enemy have arrived, and if Pound continues to stay here, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Withdraw! Withdraw now! Pound thought anxiously.

But many soldiers have already fought with Liu Beijun, and it is impossible for Pang De to take all the soldiers away.

If Wei Yan's army was mixed in, it would be extremely difficult for Liu Jun in Jingzhou to retreat with his whole body.

At this critical moment, Pound remembered that when he led his troops to run just now, he passed by a mountain road, and on both sides there were similar broken walls, and even scattered boulders.

Pound immediately thought of the key to how to retreat with his whole body, and ordered: "Archer shoot!" The whole army slowly retreated! ”

By the way, Pang De also brought Zhang Ren and Yan Yan with him. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan naturally would not refuse.

At the same time, Pound also sent a force to take the lead in taking out the mountain road and preparing in advance.

When Xu Shu saw Wei Yan's banner, he knew that their victory was a certainty. In addition, Pang De had a retreat action, and Xu Shu ordered the whole army to press up.

As Jingzhou Liu's army continued to retreat, it also made Yizhou's Liu Beijun's morale stronger and stronger, and the killing became more ferocious. The casualties of the Liu army in Jingzhou became even greater.

Pound's heart is dripping blood, and after so many years of debut, it is the first time he has fought so hotly.

Liu Beijun's forces all converged together, forming an absolute advantage over Liu Jun's army in Jingzhou.

It was not far from the mountain road, and Pound ordered the archers to fire feathered arrows without stopping, while he himself took out his bow and arrows to shoot. The Yizhou army led by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also came to help.

The feather arrows in the sky shot towards Liu Beijun, causing Liu Beijun's attack to stop for a while.

This battle has become the greatest shame since the establishment of the Shenwu Imperial Court! Pound also lost his official position because of this. That's another story.

"Retreat!" Taking advantage of this rare gap, Pound ordered the whole army to retreat.

The soldiers of Jingzhou Liu Jun all acted according to the order without any hesitation.

"Want to run? It's not that easy! Wei Yan didn't let Pang De go.

The two sides began to chase.

Soon, Pound and the others came to the mountain road in Pound's impression. It's better to be careful for the general, and Pound escaped because of this.

Just as Pang De and the others had just passed through the mountain pass, Liu Jun of Jingzhou on the broken wall immediately started to push the mountain rocks down.

I don't know how many mountains and rocks, of different sizes, rolled down one after another, and there was a rumbling sound, which frightened Wei Yan and them to retreat quickly.

After the surrounding area was quiet, the mountain path had been blocked by the falling rocks. Pound and the others were able to retreat safely.

This time, Pound was a loss of face. The Shenwu Imperial Court hadn't experienced defeat for a long time, and this kind of rapid defeat made Pang De's face even more gloomy. What Pang De needs to do now is to lead the last troops and Yan Yan and Zhang Ren to leave Yizhou.

"Damn! My reputation has been ruined! Not to mention how much he regretted in his heart, he still had the illusion that Xu Shu and Zhang Ren were both defeated.

The reason for the failure, in the final analysis, is that Pound is too proud. I was so proud that I was too confident and I missed my prudence.

And many generals in the Shenwu Imperial Court are as proud as Pang De, but Pang De is the only one who has failed so neatly.

The reason why he was able to retreat smoothly this time was because Pound's life should not be extinguished.

Liu Jun in Jingzhou was on the run, but they didn't have much chaos, after all, they were well-trained and disciplined.

In the end, Jingzhou Liu Jun, under the leadership of Pang De, escaped from Yizhou and returned to the territory of Jingzhou.

Pound, who had settled down, reported his battle report to the imperial court, and as for how the imperial court would deal with him, he did not know, but there was absolutely no good fruit to eat. Of course, Pound disdained to do the concealment of war reports. At the same time, the situation of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan was also reported by Pound.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan and other Yizhou soldiers received preferential treatment from Pang De, providing them as needed and without restricting their freedom too much.

Pang De himself sat on the border himself, and he didn't know if his defeat this time would make Liu Bei think that he was awesome and launch a large army to attack. Although Pang De felt that it was not good to give Liu Bei ten guts, it was better to prevent problems before they happened than to be negligent.

Before, Pound just suffered a righteous loss.

On the other side, next to the blocked mountain road.

"Damn! They actually ran away! Wei Yan slapped his thigh angrily.

Zhuo Zhen came to Wei Yan's side and arched his hand and said, "General Wei, Pang De was killed by us this time!" We have a chance in the future! This time it spared his dog's life. ”

Hearing this, Wei Yan's anger slowly dissipated.

"Strategist, should we continue the pursuit? We can take a detour! Wei Yan asked Xu Shudao.

Wei Yan hasn't chased others for a long time, most of them used to be chased by others, but now this kind of refreshment makes Wei Yan very comfortable. But Wei Yan always felt a little pity that he didn't kill him.

Xu Shu's face was calm, he looked at the blocked mountain road, and said lightly: "Poor Kou Mo chase!" ”

The eldest one all spoke, and the rest of the people naturally didn't have a second word.

The reason why Xu Shu did not choose to continue the pursuit was because his previous strategic goal had been achieved, and there was no more separatist forces in Yizhou that were openly opposed to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei could develop his strength steadily.

Another factor is that if the pursuit continues, there is a high chance of a larger-scale war with the Shenmu Imperial Court. Liu Bei's side is not ready now, and it is definitely impractical for the Shenwu Imperial Court to start a large-scale war.

After comprehensive consideration, Xu Shu chose to accept it when he saw it.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shu deployed his troops, stationed them in Hanping City, and began to build fortifications to prevent the invasion of Liu Jun in Jingzhou in the future.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also evacuated with Pang De, and the safe departure of these two people who were very familiar with Yizhou would become a big problem for Yizhou. Xu Shu had to be more vigilant.

Liu Beijun won a complete victory this time, not only eliminating the resistance of Liu Bei in Yizhou, but also repelling the invasion of Liu Jun in Jingzhou, and the whole army was full of strength, and the morale was getting higher and higher.

And Xu Shu also shocked Yizhou because of this battle, and his name even surpassed that of his lord Liu Bei.
