Chapter 745: Elevation Retreat
Mobile reading
At this time, Gao Cheng suddenly thought that the generals who had originally followed Gongsun Kang to attack Youbeiping did not actively ask for battle as before after learning that Changli was in an emergency, presumably because they had already appreciated the power of this cavalry and did not dare to fight with it.
"Withdraw!" Gao Cheng reluctantly issued an order to retreat, looking at the current war situation, if the Liaodong Army did not retreat, I am afraid that the Youzhou Army would be completely defeated.
The soldiers of the Liaodong Army, who had long been suppressed by the Lieyang Bow Cavalry, were also relieved after receiving the order, and the reason why they were struggling to support them was that they were waiting for the order of the main general, and many soldiers had fled in the direction of Liaodong while the darkness had taken advantage of the darkness.
Gao Cheng led his soldiers to flee the battlefield in disarray, but Huang Zhong did not burn the grain and grass as planned, and his army had more than 30,000 people.
"General, do you want to pursue?" Pound stepped forward and asked.
Looking at Pang De with a bloodstained face, Huang Zhong nodded slightly, he had also heard about Pang De, who could make Lu Bu spend so much effort to dig from Ma Teng's command to the Bingzhou Army, Pang De also has extraordinary skills, and what Lu Bu has to do is to let Pang De gradually have a sense of belonging to the Bingzhou Army.
How could Huang Zhong not understand Lu Bu's intentions, he also admired a brave and resourceful general like Pang De.
"Ling Ming, the soldiers of our army are also tired, so it's good to let these people return to Liaodong." Huang Zhongdao.
Pang De's eyes lit up, what the enemy was most afraid of was the unknown death, so that they no longer worried about the arrival of the enemy all the time, once the reinforcements of the Liaodong Army returned to Xiangping, what kind of shock it would bring can be imagined.
"The general is wise." Pound holds his fists.
"Ling Ming led the cavalry to count the grain and grass, prepare to return to the army, and bury the soldiers who died in battle." Huang Zhongdao.
Pound suddenly thought of the two cavalrymen who died for him before, and the joy of victory couldn't help but dilute very little, he originally thought that he had been used to life and death after many years of killing on the battlefield, but when the two cavalrymen rushed forward to block the arrows for themselves without hesitation, Pound felt that his heart was being tightly pinched.
"What's wrong with Ling Ming?" Huang Zhong saw that Pang De's expression was wrong and asked.
"Let's go." Pound walked away quickly in response to the question.
A cavalryman stepped forward and recounted in detail what had happened that night.
Huang Zhong nodded slightly, after this incident, Pang De and the Sun Archer were inextricably linked.
In this battle, the Lieyang archers killed more than 1,000 enemy troops, captured hundreds of people, and the Liaodong army that fled was only 2,000 people at most, and the losses of the Lieyang archers before and after were only more than 200 people.
After Huang Zhong heard the loss, his expression was not so relaxed, although he was extremely strict with the cavalry under his command, but Huang Zhong had a deep affection for the Burning Sun Archer, and he poured his heart and soul into each of the cavalry.
Gao Cheng led more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated generals, embarrassed to flee in the direction of the came, at this time the soldiers under his command looked panicked, completely lost the high fighting spirit of leaving Xiangping, fortunately there were counties along the way to provide food and grass, to return to Xiangping City, especially on the way to retreat, but also to guard against the enemy at all times, can be described as grass and trees.
Gongsun Du learned that the 5,000 reinforcements had not arrived in Changli, and he had already been defeated, and his expression was even more old, even with the support of the maid, he was a little shaky.
"King, Lord Liu is back." One of the generals shouted excitedly.
Gongsun Du, who was originally a little worried, had a look of hope in his eyes, Liu Tai went to Jizhou for help, it can be said that it is related to the survival of Liaodong, if he can get Yuan Shao's support on the thunderbolt, he will have a greater chance of winning if he can hold Liaodong.
"Quickly pass on Ryutai in." Gongsun Du Dao.
When Liu Tai walked into the main hall, he also felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, and he was shocked when he saw the elevation of blood on the armor.
"Meet the king, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and the Marquis of Ye promised to support the hundred bed crossbows in Liaodong, and the method of building the bed crossbow was also told by a soldier." Liutai arched.
Gongsun Du kept coughing when he heard this, the maid hurriedly handed over the silk cloth, after coughing violently, the silk cloth appeared dots of red, Gongsun Du glared at the maid on the side, put the silk cloth away, and laughed: "If you can defend Liaodong this time, Lord Liu will make a lot of contributions." ”
"This is what subordinates should do." Liutai Road.
After retreating from everyone, Gongsun Du said earnestly: "General Gao Cheng led 5,000 Liaodong troops to Changli, not wanting to encounter the cavalry under the command of the Marquis of Jin on the way, and the 5,000 soldiers lost nearly 3,000 people, and all the grain and grass were obtained by the enemy. At the mention of this, Gongsun Du's expression could not hide his anger.
"King, at this time, Liaodong is in danger, it is the time to employ people, General Gao Cheng has always been calm, if he is heavily punished, I am afraid it will cause discussion among the generals and soldiers in the army." Liutai Road, usually the elevation is very close to the Liu family.
"Hmph, if the generals of the defeated army are not severely punished, how can they convince the officers and soldiers of the three armies." Gongsun Du snorted coldly, exuding the majesty of a battlefield veteran.
Liu Tai was silent for a moment and said: "The king, under the command of the Marquis of Jin, it is unstoppable, and the defenders in Changli City are already in danger at this time, so it is better to order them to retreat to Xiangping." He knew that Gongsun Du was in a state of anger at this time, and he would persuade him in the future.
Gongsun Du's face was unwilling, in order to take over the subject country of Liaodong, he had put a lot of effort into it, but he didn't expect to give up in less than a month.
"The king, the eldest prince is still in Changli City." Ryutai reminded.
Gongsun Du seems to have made a lot of determination, "Inform the defenders in the city of Changli that if Changli cannot be defended, they will retreat to Xiangping, but the grain and grass in the city are all burned, and they cannot be left to the Youzhou army." ”
As a barrier to Liaodong's battle against Youzhou, there is plenty of grain and grass in Changli City, even if there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, it is enough for half a year.
"Whoa." Liutai arched.
"When will the bed crossbow promised by the Marquis of Ye be able to reach Liaodong?" Gongsun Du asked.
"It's not more than half a month at the latest."
"The Marquis of Ye can treat Liaodong like this, and this king is very grateful." Gongsun Du Dao, if Xiangping had the protection of the bed crossbow, it would be much easier to defend Xiangping.
"The king, the Marquis of Ye once said that the method of making a hundred bed crossbows and bed crossbows requires Liaodong to exchange the sophisticated blades and armor needed by the 50,000 army, and his subordinates bravely agreed."
The corners of Gongsun Du's mouth twitched a few times, the armor and blades needed by the 50,000 army, even Liaodong needs to pay a big price, but the matter has reached the current situation, as long as Liaodong is held, everything is worth it "You did a good job." In fact, he wanted to blame Ryutai, which was needed by an army of 50,000.
