Chapter 115: Not taking the bait
Swearing ruthlessly, Dong Bai turned around angrily and galloped away.
Su Zhe glanced back at her, watched the fiery red cloak gradually fade away, and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect her life to be really big, she actually avoided this catastrophe, and she didn't even get her clothes wet." ”
Hu Che'er said: "I said son, the Dong family's family motto is 'revenge must be avenged', you offended this Miss Dong so deeply, I am afraid that she will fight with you to the end in this life, do you really not let you catch up and kill her." ”
"She wants to fight to the death with me, I will accompany her, take advantage of the meeting to kill people, wouldn't I be the same as Dong Huang." Su Zhe shook his head and said.
Hu Che'er is not good to say anything.
In a moment, the two returned to their own formation, and thousands of soldiers were eager to try, sharpening their knives and killing the thief.
"Childe, the remnants of Xiliang are right in front of you, do we want to kill them all in one go." As soon as Zhou Cang saw Su Zhe coming back, he couldn't wait to fight.
When the words fell, Li Yan said: "Although there are few remnants of Xiliang, they are still cavalry after all, and they can never be underestimated by foot enemy cavalry, and it is better for Gongzi to be safe." ”
"It makes sense." Su Zhe nodded, "There are at least fifteen hundred remnants of the enemy, and Zhang Ji is still alive in the banner, so let's attack rashly, it wouldn't be good if we gave them a detour." ”
At that moment, Su Zhe ordered all the troops to line up and advance to the north step by step, and in any case, they were not allowed to line up and chase after each other.
The 7,000 Soviet soldiers had no choice but to hold back the fire of war in their chests and advance steadily in formation.
North direction.
Zhang Ji with more than 1,500 remnants of the army, was anxiously waiting for Dong Bai's return, his eyes were restless, for fear that Dong Bai would be lost.
After all, he accompanied the two Dong family members to invade Nanyang this time, and he just folded one Dong Huang's words, which was barely reasonable, but if the two Dong family members were broken, and he was the only one who returned to Chang'an alive, Dong Zhuo was angry, and it would be strange if he could let him go.
Far away, Dong Bai's body finally appeared and rushed back.
Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, rode his horse forward, and said with a happy face: "Fortunately, the young lady is fine, but I am worried that she will die, but I am afraid that Su Zhe will poison the young lady." ”
Dong Bai reined in the war horse, and snorted softly: "I still understand Su Zhe's kid, although he is hateful, he is not a kid, he doesn't bother to do what you are worried about." ”
"Yes, yes, it seems that the last general is overly worried." Zhang Ji nodded in agreement, "I wonder if the young lady asked how the eldest son's life and death were?" ”
Dong Bai looked disdainful and said sarcastically: "My second uncle has no other skills, but he is lucky, a big flood did not drown him, but he was captured alive by Su Zhe's kid." ”
Hearing that Dong Huang was still alive, Zhang Ji's brows furrowed quietly, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He pretended to be surprised: "The eldest prince is really blessed with a great life, but I didn't expect to be alive, it's really good." ”
Immediately afterwards, the gloom on his face rose again, but he sighed: "It's a pity, the eldest prince was captured alive by that Su Zhe, this is not easy to do, since the young lady knows the life and death of the eldest prince, she should also withdraw to Chang'an with peace of mind, and we can also report to the princess and save the eldest prince as soon as possible." ”
Dong Bai was silent, only staring coldly in the direction of the Soviet army.
After a while, Dong Bai said: "Tell the soldiers to prepare for battle, pretend to retreat first, once that kid pursues recklessly, we will take the opportunity to detour back to their flank, give them a hard blow, and let that kid know that even if we only have more than 1,000 people left, we are still the strongest Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the world." ”
A trace of reluctance flashed in Zhang Ji's eyes, of course he knew that Dong Bai was going to try to fight, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to turn defeat into victory and take advantage of the situation to rescue Dong Huang.
Zhang Ji also thought about turning defeat into victory, as for rescuing Dong Huang, he was not interested.
It's just that Dong Bai let out his words, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to hurriedly convey the order.
As a result, the 1,500 uneasy Xiliang cavalry regained their spirits and began to feign a retreat to the north.
The Xiliang people stopped and retreated, trying to let the Soviet army go in pursuit, but unfortunately they were disappointed.
For several days, the Xiliang people retreated ten miles, and the Soviet army advanced ten steps, and the Xiliang people retreated thirty miles, and the Soviet army pursued thirty miles, step by step, steadily advancing, and did not pursue much in half a mile.
The people of Xiliang couldn't find any flaws, so they could only retreat all the way.
Five days later, more than 1,000 remnants of Xiliang, who were tired, hungry, and demoralized, finally withdrew to Wuguan.
A day later, 7,000 Soviet troops followed.
Su Zhe was not in a hurry to tackle the problem, but asked 7,000 soldiers to force the city to go down to the village, cut down trees nearby, build a ladder and rush the car, and put on a posture of attacking the key problems in a big way.
Dusk, Wuguan City.
Dong Bai stood on the city tower, looking at the Su camp under his nose from a distance, the huge climbing cars had been erected high, and the gloomy color in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Damn, he actually saw through my intentions and refused to be fooled!" Dong Bai scolded, and his fist hit the battlements hatefully.
Zhang Ji also sighed: "This Su Zhe is treacherous, and he can know the heavens, he is really an extraordinary character, and now he has the sky again, I am afraid that sooner or later it will be our great disaster." ”
"What a big disaster, he is only a county under his feet, even if he has the ability, he can still turn the sky upside down." Dong Bai snorted disdainfully.
"What Miss Young said is, Miss Young said." Zhang Ji could only agree, but said: "But in front of us, this Su Zhe is about to attack the city, we can't hold this martial pass, it's better to take advantage of tonight to withdraw the pass to the north first, as long as he enters the territory of Guanzhong, he won't dare to chase us anymore." ”
Dong Bai's face sank, and he asked: "Wuguan Guancheng is dangerous, we still have more than a thousand younger brothers, why can't we hold it?" ”
Zhang Ji explained with a bitter face: "If it is separated in normal times, although we have few men and horses, it is enough to defend the Guancheng, but now that the grain and grass in Zhongguancheng are exhausted, and the soldiers are hungry, how can they be able to defend it?" ”
"Running out of food?" Dong Bai was taken aback, "Wuguan is such an important place, there must be a lot of grain and grass, how can it be eaten up so quickly." ”
Zhang Ji said helplessly: "Wuguan does have a lot of grain and grass, but there are usually less than 1,000 people stationed there, this time we went south to pursue, bringing more than 10,000 people, how can that little grain and grass withstand so many mouths to eat." ”
Dong Bai suddenly realized, only then did he realize the predicament he was in, and he didn't expect that they would lose so badly in this trip, it was just that the Son of Heaven didn't get it back, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses were all lost, and now they have fallen to the point where they can't even defend the military pass.
Even the dignified eldest son of the Dong family was captured alive.
It's a shame, it's a shame for the Dong family!
And the culprit of all this is the Su Zhe who flaunted his might in front of the city.
The more Dong Bai thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, his fists were tight, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhang Ji had to carefully persuade: "Young Miss, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, with the strength of my Xiliang Army, sooner or later I will be able to crush Nanyang, and capture that Su Zhe alive to let the young lady take revenge and relieve her anger, so why fight for temporary gains and losses." ”
Wake up with a word.
Dong Bai's burning anger was finally forcibly suppressed, he took a deep breath, and said silently: "Order the whole army, abandon the north and retreat." ”
