Chapter 1471: The Battle of Xuzhou (68)

However, the sporadic resistance of the Jizhou army was definitely unable to resist the attack of the Setshan battalion and the Langya army, and their morale was like a rainbow, and their shouts rushed straight to Xiaohan, and they quickly broke through their defenses.

However, just as they were rushing to kill, suddenly, the shouts of killing all around resounded through the world, and teams of Jizhou troops suddenly came out from all directions, all of them looking at death as if they were home.

Entered the ambush of the Jizhou army, which was too sudden for the Xuzhou army in the attack, and in an instant, the Xuzhou army, which was still slashing all the way before, was immediately killed and lost its armor.

The enemy army is well versed in the way of using troops, Guan Yu, who came all the way, saw such a scene, his heart sank, this battle has become difficult, and now he is not thinking about how to solve the Jizhou army, but how to organize the scattered formation, otherwise he will be attacked by the Jizhou army, and he does not know how many troops will be lost.

There is no possibility of turning defeat into victory, but the Jizhou army can calmly withdraw.

This is not the result Guan Yu wants to see.

Just as he raised his arms, he suddenly saw the figure of an old acquaintance.

It was Yan Liang.

After all, he is a famous general in Jizhou, knowing that when attacking, he must rush to the front, and when retreating, he must delay and cover, if he is the first to escape, then this way I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be lost under the pursuit of the mountain camp and the Langya army, but he dragged back, and after careful arrangement, killing them by surprise, the effect is completely different, now don't say that I want to rush forward and kill, how to get out of trouble is difficult.

The enemy has advanced too lightly, and if he can keep the formation all the time, maybe the result will be better, but now, looking at the scattered Setshan battalion and Langya army in all directions, a smell of danger emerges.

Something has to be done.

Guan Yu immediately puffed up and shouted: "The sons and daughters of the Setshan Camp, kill the enemy with me!" ”

It was difficult to move forward, but it was also simple to kill the enemy's two wings, Guan Yu raised the Qinglong Yanyue Knife weighing eighty-two catties, and gave the order to attack the soldiers of the surrounding mountain battalions, which would be their first choice to break through the encirclement of the Jizhou army.

At the same moment when his shouts sounded, the guards and soldiers of the Setshan Battalion, who had been following him, responded loudly one by one, and then Guan Yu, who was in the lead, rushed towards the Jizhou army that was forming a formation on the right side.

The enemy's formation is very solid, it can be said that for this moment, Yan Liang has been preparing for a long time, although he doesn't know that Guan Yu has arranged such a trap for him in front, but at least, he has to solve these annoying pursuers behind him first, and he thought of this plan the moment he saw the chaotic pursuit formation of the Xuzhou army, so he will continue to send soldiers to delay, so that he has sufficient preparation to choose the battlefield and prepare for an ambush, and it is precisely because of this that he can kill the Xuzhou army by surprise at this moment.

Guan Yu's initial charge had no effect, and he did not break through the enemy's siege under the slashing all the way, but as the troops began to assemble rapidly, the offensive of the Setshan battalion began to become more and more sharp.

The invincible performance of the Setshan battalion stimulated the Langya army, and they also fought a bloody way, I have to say that they were suddenly attacked by Yan Liang's ambush and paid great losses in this battle, although this battle was a complete victory, but in the end, this ending was extremely unpleasant, but the current situation continues to chase, there may be more losses, Zang Ba and Huang Zhong came to meet with Guan Yu together, preparing to return to Kaiyang.

Not wanting Guan Yu to directly reject their proposal, he planned to continue the pursuit.

This surprised Zang Ba, he had already fallen into Yan Liang's siege and lost thousands of people, why did Guan Yu still take the risk, if he was surrounded by Yan Liang again, what would he do?

But Guan Yu is surprisingly confident.

Huang Zhong drove him, at this moment he had already thought of why Guan Yu made such a decision, and said to Zang Ba: "Yan Liang set up an ambush because we were chasing behind us, but we won a big victory in a battle, and hit our army, at this moment he must retreat quickly, and will never think about the pursuit of our army again, and at this time, usually the chasing soldiers will also choose to retreat, but General Guan wants to do the opposite, and kill Yan Liang by surprise, if this pursuit can really succeed, then Yan Liang will definitely be defeated, and even leave him in Xuzhou completely!"

Listening to Huang Zhong's analysis, after seeing that Cheng Zhu had already left Guan Yu to start organizing the pursuit of the mountain camp, Zang Ba finally made the decision to continue the pursuit with him, when he drank soup, how could he retreat when he ate meat?

And if it is really like what Huang Zhong said, then this time the pursuit must be a situation where it is nine out of ten, and the Qingzhou army will not have much risk, but it is just to do what it can, but in the end, the first merit of the battle of Langya is bound to belong to him, although Guan Yu is very important and plays a decisive role, but without Zang Ba sticking to Kaecheng, then all this is in vain.

In this case, how could he give up his head work, and he is now in Xuzhou, no more than in Qingzhou, in this platform, Guan Yu has a decisive weight, although he does not need to deliberately scold him to climb up, but in this matter, he can form a friendship with him, which will play a pivotal role in Xuzhou in the future.

So the more than 10,000 people left under his account have become his capital now, so of course he has to have no reservations, even if the road ahead will be heroic, but don't forget, the head rush to kill is still the mountain camp after all, even Guan Yu is not afraid, what is he afraid of, as for a little sacrifice, Kaicheng has paid so much, and it is nothing to lose some more.

Compared with the future, these casualties are just a string of numbers, and they will be replenished after the war.

Zang Ba attaches great importance to the future, it can't be said that he has a problem as a person, it can be said that in the face of interests, some sacrifices and efforts are inevitable, not to mention that he can't hide from it.

The addition of Langya Jun is the greatest relief for Guan Yu, although he is full of confidence, but he really expresses his gratitude to the two from the bottom of his heart, at such a moment, his recognition is what touches him the most.

At this moment, he believed that the vast majority of people would choose to leave, but they stayed and shared the hardships and hardships with him, Guan Yu may have had such and such disdain or even displeasure with Zang Ba, but at this moment he had a complete change in his view of Zang Ba.

Zang Ba couldn't have imagined that just this ordinary thing would receive Guan Yu's favor, but in Guan Yu's opinion, this is not a trivial matter, this is completely trust in him Guan Yu, and he is on an adventure with tens of thousands of lives, as a general, he may pay a heavy price for some reasons, but they will never risk becoming the commander of the light pole because of whom.

In the deep troubled times, life is the most important, and the power of the army in his hands is the key to saving his life, let me ask, if this battle is lost, everyone is dead, he really became the commander of the light pole, then how can he gain a foothold in Xuzhou?

At that time, he will have to take a great threat, and may even become a lost dog, but Zang Ba still made a decision that is extremely risky for him, can Guan Yu not change his opinion of him at this moment?

It can be said that even if he leaves with the troops, Guan Yu will not say anything, he can understand, although understanding is understanding, it will definitely not be too cool for Zang Ba, but he finally made a choice that moved him.

The troops began to pursue, Yan Liang led the troops to evacuate towards Dongguan, on the way, he thought a lot, not because of how this battle successfully repelled Guan Yu, but why this battle was finally defeated.

It can be said that Yan Liang has won and lost since joining the army to the front line, but it is the first time that he has lost so much like this time, he began to think carefully about the reasons for the failure of this battle, thinking a lot, and there should be a lot of unexpected, maybe, if Koji Yi is here, he will know more, but unfortunately, this person who was once incompatible with him, but complained to each other from time to time, is no longer there.

Without him, Yan Liang was able to really ascend to the throne, it stands to reason that he will not have too much good impression of him, and this person has a very poor character, and he looks down on people with high words and low words, he is proud of his achievements, and even rebels, to be honest, the lord should be killed, but his death is definitely a big loss to Jizhou.

Nowadays, few people mention Koji Yi anymore, even Yan Liang rarely mentions this general who died because of his arrogance, but I have to say that he has a great influence on him.

Sometimes, Yan Liang was very willing to reconcile with him or even work together, but in the end he found that it was all his wishful thinking, so in the end, he was executed, and Yan Liang behaved very calmly.

But after losing him, in fact, the Jizhou army has been in a state of chaos, although it is called rest, but this kind of rest is not mentioned.

Even if he was replaced, it would not play a big role, and then he found out that the Jizhou army had already been heavily opened, the eldest son, the second son, and the third son.

has his own identity label, he can't do anything, he has been a good person and a wicked person, and he has spoken good things and words, but it has no effect, people don't listen to you, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang who ran away are even Jiao Touch, the former obeys the orders of the third son, the latter obeys the orders of the second son, they will contribute in this battle?

And the generals who obey the orders of the eldest prince are by their side, and they are loyal ministers? Or maybe they know that retreating is not the way and they have to stay to stop the enemy, no, because this battle was proposed by the eldest prince, and they should fully support it, and it has nothing to do with him.

Can you imagine, in such a situation, the reason why this battle will be lost is one of the key reasons, right?

But in the era of Liyi, such a situation will never happen, all obey his orders, you can say that the hands of the three sons in that period have not yet reached the barracks, or you can say that the three forces in Jizhou at that time were only fighting openly and secretly, and even because the form was not good, they had to work together.

But Ko Yi really let every general play 100% of his rights, otherwise there would not be Youzhou's complete victory over Gongsun Zhan.

At this point, he can't compare, and in terms of the ability to lead the troops, it is even worse than 108,000 miles, and this ambush strategy is actually not something he can come up with, but when he was fighting with Gongsun Zhan, Ko Yi used it, and he learned it.

In such a situation, it can be said that it was because of Koji Yi that he was able to get away with it.

It is conceivable that Yan Liang may have been the first person to applaud the killing of Ko Yi, but at this moment, he really discovered that no one could replace Ko Yi's importance.

It is no wonder that he is arrogant, in such a situation, he is conceited of strength, but he has not met a lord who can tolerate him. You can say that this is Yuan Shao's stupidity, even if you want to learn from Gaozu to kill Han Xin, but at this time, the time for the troops and birds to hide the bow is too early.

If, a little later, then what the situation of the Battle of Xuzhou would be like at this moment, he didn't dare to imagine, but he could foresee it, and he would definitely be stronger than him, a hundred times and ten million times stronger.

Once, Ko Yi had fallen from his eyes and heart to the dust, and now he has ascended to the altar, and even feels that he is incompetent and tired to the death of the three armies.

I have to say that in some aspects, he has really changed a lot, just this point, it will never be something he can do, he will never admire Lu Yi, a general from Liangzhou, what is there to be proud of?

But in the era of Liyi, such a situation will never happen, all obey his orders, you can say that the hands of the three sons in that period have not yet reached the barracks, or you can say that the three forces in Jizhou at that time were only fighting openly and secretly, and even because the form was not good, they had to work together.
