Even if it was only the vanguard army sent forward, the three divisions were all cavalry with a total of more than 3,000, and Lu Bu did not dare to fight again, so he quickly withdrew his troops and left...... The enemy's vanguard has arrived, and the follow-up troops will definitely follow slowly, and he needs to hurry back to Yanshi City. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Facing an enemy army nearly ten times his size, even Lu Bu was thrown away from the bottom of his heart after seeing those iron horsemen with the banner of Yan Zhao warriors.

The princes of the Kwantung region are all straw bales, but Yanbei seems to be an exception, which is the consensus of the Liang and military generals.

Seeing the Yan Zhao warriors today, Lu Bu also immediately regarded Yan Bei as a thorn in his side, although his precursor soldiers and horses were weak, he could see his own people, not only was it not weak, but it was enough to be comparable to Dong Zhuo's Feixiong army!

Lu Bu saw the reinforcements of Yan Bei and others, and directly led the army west, and Yan Bei had a complicated mentality, naturally he would not let him leave easily, and immediately ordered Zhao Yun Gao Lan to lead the troops and Guan Yu to pursue them...... He was afraid that Gao Ran and Zhao Yun would lose, and he was afraid that Lu Bu would cause trouble to him in the future if he fled.

But this was obviously not enough, Lu Buzhong retreated five miles on the way to ambush here to meet his ambush soldiers, Gao Shun commanded hundreds of foot soldiers to use the few big crossbows in Lu Bu's hands to form a formation to guard against the pursuing cavalry, covering Lu Buzhong and fighting and retreating.

"Damn it! Still miscalculated! Yan Bei heard the news of the pursuit from his subordinate Pegasus, and threw the skewer on the ground viciously, and said angrily to himself: "I knew that he would have more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and Yan should have attacked Yanshi City and cut off his retreat!" ”

Yan Bei didn't know the enemy's situation before, not to mention that he was afraid of Lu Bu in his heart, and he only wanted to come to rescue Guan Yu, but he didn't expect to attack the city in a battle, although this kind of move was safe, but now it seems that he has lost the best opportunity to attack Lu Bu.

When the time comes, these people from Bingzhou will drill into Yanshi City, even if they let him use siege ordnance to smash it, if they want to take Yanshi City, they will probably have to kill a lot of people.

Storming the city was originally the next step.

Sun Wuzi said that ten times will be surrounded, and five times will be attacked. Although the situation of the soldiers in the Warring States period is very surprising from today, the conscription accounts for less than half of the army, especially in Yanbei's subordinate soldiers and horses, only the generals use conscription, and his headquarters soldiers and horses are all professional samurai who are out of production, but the truth of war will not change.

There are only a few thousand men and horses in total, and Yanbei can't make a fool of attacking the city, and what he wants now is to surrender without a fight.

With the momentum of the soldiers, Lu Bu was scared back to Hangu Pass.

Now is not the time for him to lead a few thousand troops, and commanding an army of 30,000 is a challenge more than ever.

He was not afraid of failure when he led the first part, because the loss of failure was very small, and it could not have a nerve-wracking effect on him. But when he commanded 30,000 troops? Any one of his mistakes in decision-making would have cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Send someone to call Zilong Axiu back first, don't chase anymore." Although he missed the opportunity to defeat or capture Lu Bu, at least the purpose of this battle was achieved, and he was able to see Lu Bu's combat strength from the loss of the second division of the advance team, and obtain more information about the enemy. Yan Bei sorted out the belt around his waist, raised his hand and said to Tai Shi Ci beside him: "Ziyi, send people to each department, sprinkle scouts to find a dangerous terrain to set up camp, each set up a sentry defense, and raise the account later." ”

After that, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Yan Bei sighed and said, "Send someone to tell the people who escorted the baggage behind to clean up these corpses...... By the way, pick up a few sets of armor and weapons of the state soldiers, and send them to my account later. ”

Zhao Yun Gao Ran did not pursue too far, although Zhao Yun did not have much experience in battle formations, he respected his predecessors very much and was very obedient, and Gao Ran just had a steady character step by step.

Let these two lead the army to pursue the enemy, and it is strange that they can pursue the enemy army regardless of it!

Because of the unhurried pursuit, Gao Shun's infantry was discovered by them when they formed a formation in the forest, and the sparse arrows did not kill many cavalrymen at all, but Guan Yu chased deeper on his horse, and the war horse was shot by an arrow and was snatched down by Zhao Yun's subordinates.

When they withdrew to the battlefield and went to the camp with the messenger soldiers left by Yanbei, the tents of the Chinese army had already been set up, and the wooden fence on the periphery was only in rudimentary form because of the people's baggage. Therefore, after the three of them deployed their troops and horses, they directly reported that they entered the Chinese army's tent.

In the Chinese military tent, Yan Beizheng was sitting in the middle of the golden sword, and his subordinates Lu Yi, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others were listening to Zhang Fei, who had bandaged his arm wounds, slowly narrating the course of the battle.

Yan Bei's face was very stiff, he knew that Guan Zhang and the others did not have much experience in battle formations, but he never thought that the two of them would be so inexperienced that they could put two thousand foot soldiers out and camp on the plain. What's the difference between this and a lamb lying on the ground with its belly turned upside down, which leads to a hungry wolf cannibalism?

As he was talking, a soldier came to report and said, "General, the senior lieutenant and Zhao and Guan Er Sima are returning to the camp and are outside the tent." Also, the casualty statistics of the second division have come out, and the main book of the army is outside. ”

The so-called master book in the army is Chen Qun and Chen Changwen. Chen Qun followed Yanbei all the way from the sour date to cross the Bianshui River, and he has been staying in the camp with every name, Yanbei felt that it was not a matter, so he gave him the official position of the main book, and the affairs in charge were similar to those of the officials, and occasionally helped Yanbei think about the strategy of breaking the enemy, which was regarded as a staff member.

Chen Qun didn't have any idea of refusing, because he found that Yan Bei had no staff in the army except for Tai Shici, the general Changshi, and everything was decided by a group of pure martial artists.

He still remembers the affairs of Hu Cai's tour of Yingchuan, and it is rare that Yanbei is one of the few soldiers who are unwilling to disturb the people, and Chen Qun is very willing to share some worries for Yanbei under the condition of ensuring that the people of Yingchuan will not be hurt in this western expedition.

"Coming back? Let them in, and let them bring in the armor of the state soldiers. Seeing that the four of them had entered the account, Yan Bei first let everyone take their seats, and asked Chen Qun first: "Changwen, what are the casualties in this battle?" ”

"General Hui, in this battle, Sima was wounded one hundred and twenty-seven and six hundred and fifty-four died; Zhang Sima was wounded 375 and died 366, and the corpses had all been collected. Chen Qun was wearing a winter coat sent from Yingchuan, and although he had no books, he relied on his strong memory to count these numbers, and then said: "The casualties of the soldiers on the battlefield are also counted, and there are one hundred and seventy corpses. ”

Although the defeat in this battle was something that the generals here knew in their hearts, they were all dumbfounded when they heard such a terrible ratio of battle losses between the two sides, and even Yan Bei touched his nose and forgot what he wanted to say.

"It's a thousand three, four...... And the state cavalry fought a battle with one as ten? "Yan Bei's arithmetic skills are not good, if he has a pen and can calculate something, it will take time, not to mention just mental arithmetic, he only knows that the casualties of the two other departments are six or seven hundred. Seeing Guan Yu kneeling on the side in shame and clenching his fists, Zhang Fei clenching his teeth and his eyes red, Yan Bei sighed and said, "If you lose, you lose, there is nothing to be discouraged about." But this kind of war, probably only Yun Chang and Yide can fight? ”

Guan Yu thought that Yanbei would say something to comfort them, but when he heard the sarcastic words, he almost got up and left the tent to go to Qingzhou. Compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei was more open-minded, even if Yan Bei's words were not so good, although he was tortured by the shame in his heart and was about to cry, he still hugged his fists and said to Yan Bei: "General, Fei is difficult to be the post of Sima, please punish the general!" ”

Hearing Zhang Fei say this, Guan Yu also hugged his fists and said, "Please punish the general!" ”

"So what are you doing in a hurry? Nearly a thousand sons and daughters are gone in half an hour, and the punishment must be indispensable to you, but Yan really wants to ask you, how did you two fight such a battle? Yan Bei frowned, but there was no ridicule on his face, but he said very seriously: "Yun Chang beheaded the enemy Sima Hao Meng on the battlefield, Yide injured the enemy general Hou Cheng and captured Sima Song Xian, I have seen the head and the prisoners...... I was amazed, why did I lose a battle that should have been a victory? ”

Yan Bei actually didn't have the slightest idea of laughing at the two, this battle was not rude because Guan Zhang was too weak, on the contrary, he felt that Lu Bujun was too strong. Even in the battlefield situation dictated by the defeated soldiers, Lu Bu used the brave generals to drag Guan Zhang, and then used the elite cavalry to cut off the command of the second division and divide the battlefield step by step Dong Zhuo, even if he used more than 1,000 elites among the 30,000 soldiers and horses, he couldn't do it.

Against such a powerful general of the enemy army, and only twice the number of troops commanded, and the soldiers were all newly recruited foot soldiers, Guan Zhang and the others were able to fight and capture the generals, which was already very good.

Most importantly, they ...... It was originally a bait for Yanbei to test the strength of Lu Bu's army, otherwise why would so many elite soldiers under him use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who are brave but have no experience in battle formations, as the striker? In other words, these two other departments were originally outcasts, which was the reason why Yanbei was impressed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in his heart.

Now Yan Bei's feeling in his heart is that although the bait released was bitten by a tiger, the bait that was originally weak and bullying actually broke two teeth of the tiger...... Isn't it weird?

Guan Yu is different from Lu Yi, Lu Yi needs to be suppressed, while Guan Yu belongs to eating soft and not hard, just praise when you are about to fry your hair. At this time, when he heard that Yan Bei didn't mean to look down on him, he was ashamed first, and sighed: "If you lose this battle, it's all in Guan...... If it weren't for Guan Mou's repeated provocations by Lu Bu, he would have been able to defeat the soldiers and hold out until the general led his troops to help. ”

"I'm the same!" Zhang Fei first shouted like a robbery, and then lowered his head and said: "I don't know what's going on, I want to find Lu Bu to fight when I am attacked, but I don't find it, so I fight with the Bingzhou cavalry, and I will form a formation behind me while fighting the soldiers." ”
