Chapter 679: Pursue Again
Yuan Shu rode a horse and stood at the rear of the military formation, and did not lead the troops to charge into battle.
Although Yuan Shu is a child of a family and is also proficient in mounted archery, he can go into battle to kill the enemy, but his strength is limited after all. Besides, he is still the commander in the army, so naturally he will not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person. When Zhang Xun and Yang Hong were killed, and Zhang Liao and LΓΌ Bu were in crisis, Yuan Shu knew that he had to retreat, and he kept running back with his own soldiers, in a hurry and panic, very embarrassed.
Yuan's army fled backwards, and when LΓΌ Bu's soldiers saw it, so did it.
In particular, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu retreated together, and the army completely lost the idea of continuing to fight. A group of soldiers, swarming with their feet spread and constantly retreating.
"Boom!"
Outside Shangyong City, the sound of messy footsteps kept ringing.
Where the soldiers trampled on it, the dust on the ground flew up because of the soldiers' trampling. When the soldiers ran, they roared loudly, and because they were afraid of being killed, they wanted to avoid the enemy troops chasing after them. As a result, the soldiers in the army even killed each other, and some soldiers directly killed the soldiers who stood in front of them, and then ran forward themselves.
The army has become a pot of porridge.
Lu Meng rode a big black horse and shouted: "Sons, kill with me!" β
He looked excited, pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, kept shaking the reins, urging the horse to speed up, and dragged a large knife with a length of a zhang in his right hand, the blade rubbed against the ground, making a clattering sound, which made people panic in their hearts.
"Brothers, kill with me!"
Zhang Ren looked proud, his spear volleyed in the air, pointed directly at the retreating soldiers in front, and also rushed forward with the soldiers.
Gan Ning also did not show weakness, and shouted: "Kill, kill Lao Tzu!" β
He was carrying a Hengjiang knife, extremely irritable, when he was fighting with Lu Bu before, Gan Ning was suppressed and beaten by Lu Bu, which made Gan Ning feel very aggrieved and very unhappy.
Now that Lu Bu took the initiative to retreat, Gan Ning completely broke out, he poured out all the qi in his heart, and fought indomitably with a war knife, when he met the enemy soldiers, Gan Ning raised the knife in his hand, and the knife flashed, and a head flew up, and a puff of blood splashed everywhere, spraying on Gan Ning's face, making Gan Ning's expression extremely hideous.
Zhou Tai and Chen Zhi are also extremely fierce, constantly rushing to kill.
The three people, like three sharp cones, slaughtered into the army of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, constantly wreaking havoc.
While Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Chen Dao, Zhang Ren, and LΓΌ Meng were wielding weapons to fight, Dian Wei was already rushing back and forth among the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command. His goal was to target Yuan Shu, wanting to kill Yuan Shu in the chaos and achieve military exploits. For several people to attack Lu Bu together, with Dian Wei's temperament, he must be unwilling, he would rather rush and kill than attack Lu Bu together.
"Get out of here, death to those who stand in my way!"
Dian Wei roared loudly, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and swung his iron halberd violently with both hands.
"Bang! Bang! β
The iron halberd swept over, knocking the soldiers who were blocking Dian Wei's front directly to the ground. He bent down sharply, then rounded the iron halberd with both hands, swept it over, and knocked the soldiers rushing up to the ground at once, and where the sharp halberd tip slashed, there was an immediate popping sound.
His expression was hideous, his face was fierce, and he was very scary. The soldiers who saw Dian Wei's face kept retreating, and some soldiers were even too frightened to move, and they were stunned in place.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
Dian Wei roared loudly, spitting everywhere.
He was a burly man, and wherever he passed, the soldiers retreated, and it was difficult to resist. Dian Wei alone had already terrified the retreating soldiers, while the other five men rushed forward with the soldiers to kill like locusts, killing all the soldiers who fell behind.
Some soldiers even surrendered on their knees.
However, no one bothered the surrendered soldier and killed him.
On the upper floor of Shangyong City, Wang Can looked high and looked into the distance. He saw Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other six people rushing all the way to kill, killing Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to a big defeat, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I thought that this battle was a fierce battle, but I didn't expect Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to be so unbearable.
The army can't make an army, the formation can't make a formation, it's too bad.
Xu Shu walked over, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, order the troops to be collected, if Yuan Shu and Lu Bu set up an ambush on the way to protect their retreat, our soldiers will definitely be damaged." β
Fa Zheng touched the shaggy beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are so unbearable, there is no need to worry. β
Two people, each with their own words.
And Wang Can thought about it carefully, and was also biased towards Fa Zheng's statement, after all, the army led by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu was so unbearable, how could they set up an ambush in the middle of the road to protect the retreat of the army?
This kind of practice is only done by Cao Cao's guy often.
Cao Cao's marching army, whether he won or not, would leave a back road behind to ensure the safe retreat of the army.
Wang Can thought of Cao Cao, and immediately thought of the matter that Jia Xu had suggested pursuing Cao Cao. Cao Cao set up an ambush, and he could only consider the soldiers who pursued him for the first time, but he would not consider that Wang Can's army would pursue the second time, so Jia Xu once again suggested that when Wang Can sent troops to pursue, he easily defeated Cao Cao and caught Cao Cao off guard.
In today's situation, regardless of whether Lu Bu and Yuan Shu set up an ambush or not, they can send troops to chase after them.
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Yuan Zhi, you Fa Zhenghe stayed in the city and was responsible for defending the city, and I led the troops to pursue the enemy." β
When Fa Zheng joined Yizhou, he was still a handsome scholar. However, when Fa Zheng served as a county magistrate in the county seat for two years, the temperament of the whole person has changed a lot, not only a person's experience, but also Fa Zheng's physique has become stronger, which is also the benefit of working at the grassroots level.
Xu Shu sighed when he saw that Wang Can was also preparing to send troops to pursue Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.
Fa Zheng was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Can agreed with his suggestion.
However, when he stood behind Wang Can, he saw that Wang Can was slow to send troops. After a long time, Fa Zheng asked: "Lord, since it is to pursue Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, it is better to send troops sooner rather than later, why don't you send troops?" β
Wang Can smiled and said, "Fazheng, do you know Jia Xu? β
Fa Zheng nodded and said, "I've heard a little that he and Li Ru used to be from the Xiliang Army. β
Wang Can smiled and said: "I fought with Cao Cao in Chang'an, pursued Cao Cao for the first time, and returned defeated. Jia Xu said that when the enemy was first pursued, the enemy was likely to leave elite soldiers to protect them in response to the retreat of the army. And in the second pursuit, the enemy army was probably defenseless and relaxed, so Dian Wei, Gan Ning and others pursued for the first time, and I led the soldiers as the second pursuit. β
After hearing this, Fa Zheng suddenly realized.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Jia Xu's plan, I might as well too!" β
Xu Shu also said: "My lord, my humble position is not as good as Jia Xu!" When Xu Shu heard that Wang Can insisted on pursuing, he was still quite resentful, after all, it was common sense that poor Kou Mo chased, but after listening to Wang Can's explanation, Xu Shu felt that he still needed to improve, and the practice of chasing twice like this was indeed unexpected and difficult to resist.
Just imagine that after the first pursuit was ambushed, it was forced to retreat.
But after retreating, who would have thought that there would be a comeback.
I have to say that this is the gap between Jia Xu's old fox and Fa Zheng and Xu Shu.
Although Xu Shu and Fa Zheng are both top strategists, their experience and experience are far inferior to Jia Xu, and the two still need to be improved, and they must refine their abilities through countless actual battles, just like a peerless swordsman, who wants to remove the fancy moves and become simple and unpretentious, and he will see blood when he makes a move.
