Chapter 405 The Road to Escape

After a short period of calmdown, the united princes began to gather together to discuss how to defeat the mortal enemy in front of them.

The strength of the Jizhou army has greatly exceeded their expectations, and they thought that they could easily defeat the Jizhou army by virtue of their huge numerical advantage.

But now they understand that sometimes it is not possible to have an advantage in numbers, as the previous battles have amply demonstrated.

Now their greatest advantage is that in terms of the combat effectiveness of the generals, they have been suppressed by the Jizhou army.

At this point, their only way out is to come up with a plan.

A strategy that can turn the situation around, only in this way can they seize the weakness of the Jizhou army and defeat the strong enemy in front of them in one fell swoop!

And this kind of thing can only be handed over, and the strategists under the commands of the princes from all walks of life, at this time, the strategists under the commands of the princes from all walks of life are all gathered together.

Among them, Xu Shu under Liu Bei, Xun Yu under Cao Cao, and Huang Quan under Liu Yan have become the three most brilliant people.

Now the three of them have become the backbone of all the strategists.

Under the auspices of the three of them, after half an hour, a strategy that was enough to kill the Jizhou army was gradually taking shape.

Almost all the steps of this strategy came from the mouths of these three people, and the rest of the strategists could only beat the side drum on the side.

At first, some people were not convinced, but as the plan gradually took shape, they were all convinced.

Just when Xu Shu and the others were about to hand over the completed plan to their respective lords.

Suddenly, from behind them, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves, and the faces of these strategists immediately became extremely ugly.

At this time, the cavalry of the coalition army was all scattered in the armies of the major princes, and it was impossible to gather such a large-scale cavalry force.

Therefore, at this time, there was a large-scale assembled cavalry army, and it could only be the Jizhou army.

At that time, these strategists dispersed one after another, and they had to hurry back to help their respective lords command the army, and they must not let the Jizhou army break into their interior.

Otherwise, the morale of the coalition army, which had already fallen to the bottom, was likely to be rushed by the Jizhou cavalry. and they will be completely defeated.

Even if they come up with a thousand clever plans, it won't help.

Their reaction speed was already very fast, but it was still not faster than the hooves of the Jizhou army's war horses.

When they had just returned to their own army, and before they had time to meet their respective lords, the Jizhou cavalry had already come not far behind them.

At that time, the soldiers of the coalition army of the princes fell into a panic, especially those soldiers of the coalition army who were in the attack of the Jizhou cavalry, and they became even more panicked.

Some people want to fight hard and squeeze into the relative safety of the Chinese army, some people want to seize the time and find a place to hide, and others want to fight the Jizhou army to the death.

The chaotic soldiers and even more chaotic command made the coalition soldiers like a flock of lambs without the slightest defense, only trembling and waiting for the arrival of the opponent's butcher's knife.

At this time, the most panicked was Yuan Shu's army, because the brothers of the Yuan family retreated the earliest, after Cao Cao escaped safely, the brothers of the Yuan family felt a little shameless to face Cao Cao.

So when retreating, the two of them chose to arrange their troops on the left and right flanks of the army, which was called escorting the army.

In fact, they didn't think in their hearts at all that the Jizhou army could still come to attack, and this was just a gesture to make their retreat just now look more decent.

I couldn't imagine that the Jizhou army could still come to attack after killing Yuan Shu, and now it's too late to regret it!

Yuan Shu could only do his best to maintain order among his subordinates and prayed in his heart, hoping that his allies would come to their aid as soon as possible.

However, it is still unknown when his allies will be able to come to their aid, and the Jizhou cavalry has already arrived near his team, and is about to rush into his military formation.

At that time, Yuan Shu's heart was cold, he knew that if he was rushed into his army by the Jizhou cavalry, he would not be able to do anything else except watch his own army rout!

However, Yuan Shu's eyes soon regained their brightness, because he found that the Jizhou cavalry did not directly attack his military formation.

Instead, on the outside of his military formation, a graceful arc was drawn.

After the Jizhou cavalry completely unfolded the flank, Yuan Shu knew that the other party did not let him go because of his soft-heartedness.

It's to better save yourself while hitting him hard.

Because those bastards of the Jizhou cavalry actually launched a cavalry shot at his subordinates, and for a while, tens of thousands of feather arrows smashed into his army formation like a raging storm.

Yuan Shu watched his military formation, as if it had been cut by a hot knife, and a large piece was cut off at that time, which made Yuan Shu feel distressed.

The rain of arrows just now cost the lives of at least thousands of his subordinates.

I don't know the deadliest thing, the deadliest thing is that after experiencing the blow of this storm, the morale of his subordinates has been completely weakened.

Some of them had even fallen into madness, and they even ignored the shouts of their comrades behind them and rushed in the direction where the Jizhou cavalry was located.

Yuan Shu knew very well in his heart that these people who rushed over would be trampled into meat by the iron hooves of the Jizhou cavalry, but soon Yuan Shu was shocked by the change in things.

Those damn Jizhou cavalry didn't make any attack on the fleeing soldiers, but let them quickly leave the battlefield.

What is going on in the minds of these guys, aren't they afraid that those people were deliberately sent out to cut off their back roads?

Just when Yuan Shu was thinking this, suddenly a very familiar voice came from his ears.

As soon as Yuan Shu identified it, he recognized the identity of the person who spoke, and this person was his advisor Yan Xiang.

Yuan Shu only heard Yan Xiang shouting at him anxiously:

"Lord, you must not let people escape from that direction again, that is the poisonous plan of the Jizhou army! They are ready to completely defeat our army's will to resist, and then give our soldiers the illusion that they can escape from there! Once it is formed, our army will have no more soldiers! ”

Yan Xiang's words shocked Yuan Shu into a cold sweat, and at this time, he didn't have to think much to know that what Yan Xiang said was not wrong at all.

Because of his men, there has been a massive rout.

When those soldiers who had been attacked by the Jizhou army saw those crazy comrades escaping from that seemingly dead end, some smart people immediately understood the intentions of the Jizhou army.

These clever men immediately pulled out their legs and fled in the direction they had left.

Sure enough, their guess was right, and the Jizhou army did not stop the fleeing Yuan Shu soldiers at all.

The successful escape of these smart people completely stimulated the nerves of the remaining soldiers of Yuan Shujun, and more of Yuan Shujun's soldiers rushed in that direction at that time.
