With the help of Ji Ling, Yuan Shu gathered more than 6,000 remnants of the controllable soldiers around him, and gradually retreated to the bottom of a mountain cliff.

The slope of this cliff presents a concave slope angle, like a wide natural eaves, so Yuan Shu can hide here, not afraid of the threat of falling rocks and rolling logs from Zhu Wei's ambush on the cliff, and can also temporarily put down a defensive position here and stop.

But there is no water source around, and there is no other way to retreat, so it has almost become a Jedi.

Behind Yuan Shu, there were also many beauties and maidservants who followed together, but everyone seemed to be frightened by the current situation, one by one, their faces changed color, and some still thought that they were more favored, so they thought of Yuan Shu's side to cry, and some of the unfavored could only hide in the distance, sighing secretly.

There are also a few Yuan Shu's sons and daughters, who are also hiding beside their respective mothers with trembling bodies, looking around in horror, for fear that when there will be feather arrows and crossbow arrows shooting in this direction, they have been frightened by Fang Cai's attack.

But where can Yuan Shu take care of these at this time, he himself is pale and supported by several eunuchs, his feet are already weak, but he just let people pull those entangled beauties away, and then asked Ji Ling and Yang Hong beside him in a frightened tone, "Fu Yi, general, how should I be good now, how should I be good!" I'm going to die here! ”

"Your Majesty, don't panic, your subordinates must escort Your Majesty away desperately! It's just that the situation is unclear now, and after some investigation, you can find a way to break through! Now that the army is scattered, it will take time to gather the soldiers and horses! ”

Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged knife lance and reassured Yuan Shu, but he knew in his heart that now that he was in an ambush, he was afraid that it would be difficult to rush out.

However, after all, Ji Ling was a dead warrior general trained by the son of the Yuan family, so he still wanted to desperately protect Yuan Shu to the end, and now he couldn't help but send herald soldiers to the other Yuan Shu troops around him, trying to collect the scattered Yuan Shu soldiers.

As long as he can gather more soldiers, he still has a chance to break out of the ambush, even if he finishes fighting the soldiers, as long as he can protect Yuan Shu's safety.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, according to your subordinates, now you are in a place of death, our army is divided everywhere, and there is no other way out here, even if General Ji's martial arts are extraordinary, I am afraid that I can't kill it, just my subordinates look at it, the ambush army seems to be Zhu Wei's Xionglu camp, maybe your subordinates can go to Zhu Wei's army to negotiate peace, so that he can let the lord leave!"

Yang Hong was also panicked at this time, but he seemed to think of something, but he said so in his mouth.

Yuan Shu listened to the words of the two, and his expression changed again, although he belonged to the attribute of the Yuan family, after all, he was also the son of the Yuan family, and he had also been cultivated and educated by the Yuan family since he was a child.

Therefore, he understood Ji Ling's words, which was a kind of comfort.

In this situation, it is already a rare safe place to be able to hide under this cliff like now, but it is so difficult to rush out.

It's just that this side can't maintain long-term security, once Zhu Wei's army presses up, there is not much defense advantage on this side, how can it block the attack of Zhu Wei's army.

Even if Zhu Wei's army did not attack, he could die of thirst and starvation only after a few days of siege.

It was Yang Hong's words that gave Yuan Shu some hope in his heart, so he hurriedly said to Yang Hong, "In this way, it depends on the general, the general can go over there to get some money as a gift, as long as Zhu Wei agrees to let me go, these can be given to Zhu Wei." ”

"No! However, please send troops to escort you! ”

Yang Hong hurriedly agreed, but looking at the chaotic situation outside, Yang Hong didn't dare to leave this cliff and slope at will, otherwise he would be killed halfway before he reached Zhu Wei's army, then he would not be sent to death in vain.

"Okay, good, Fu Yi, send a hundred personal soldiers to guard the general!"

Yuan Shu naturally agreed, and at this time, Yuan Shu put all his hopes on Yang Hong's side, so he would care about other things.

So under Ji Ling's arrangement, more than a hundred Yuan Shu guards used big shields to form a shield array to protect Yang Hong, and then left the cliff slope here, moved outside, and soon arrived at the chaotic battlefield outside.

There are still many Yuan Shu soldiers here who can only rely on the protection of the big shield and small shield in their hands to resist the feather arrows and crossbow arrows shot from the surrounding mountains, but the shield may still be flawed after all, so from time to time you can see some soldiers injured by arrows and fall to the ground.

The six or seven thousand soldiers gathered by Ji Ling on this side formed a shield formation with shields, and formed a defensive formation with their backs against the concave slope of the mountain cliff, but there were also falling rocks and rolling logs falling from the cliff.

The cliff slope can only accommodate more than 1,000 people at most, mainly Yuan Shu and the beauties and attendants around him, but the other ordinary soldiers can only carry the attacks of feather arrows, falling rocks, and rolling logs outside the cliff, that is, their identities are contained, so that they can be regarded as dutifully guarding around the cliff and slope.

After Yang Hong left the cliff slope under the protection of a shield array composed of more than 100 personal guards, he hurriedly asked the surrounding soldiers to shout together, "Don't attack, I'm a messenger, don't attack, I'm a messenger!" ”

Soon the Zhu guards on the surrounding mountains heard it, so they also went to find Jia Xu and Pang Yan to report, Jia Xu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said, "Let the Yuan Shu envoy come and talk!" ”

"Strategist, why bother so much, now Yuan Shu is already trapped in a mere place, when a certain family personally goes up to kill for a while, he will definitely be able to take Yuan Shu's head to see him!"

Pang Yan watched from afar where Yuan Shu's remnants were arrayed, and said disapprovingly, although there were only more than 5,000 Xionglu battalion soldiers in ambush here, and other troops were sent out to intercept the Yuan Shu army that might come to support, Pang Yan was still full of confidence that he could defeat the remnants of Yuan Shu's soldiers guarding Yuan Shu over there with one blow.

"General Pang, since Yuan Shu automatically sent it to the door, why do you need the general to make a move, besides, there are still a lot of remnants of Yuan Shu's army, although they have been divided by our army, but it will take some time to swallow them completely! If Cao Cao's army heard the news, they would also be divided into some gains in vain! It's better to use the name of Yuan Shu to let those defeated soldiers surrender, but let our army get tens of thousands of strong men for nothing! ”

Jia Xu seemed to have thought of more aspects, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to eat the sixty or seventy thousand soldiers brought out by Yuan Shu this time, so that Zhu Wei could naturally increase a large number of troops out of thin air.

The next battle in the Central Plains must have cost a lot of soldiers, although the soldiers on Yuan Shu's side are not strong in combat, but after all, they are all capable and strong, as long as they are trained a little, and then there are generals who can naturally be turned into elite soldiers.

At the same time, now that Yuan Shu has broken into the ambush circle of Zhu Wei's army, after all, there is still Cao Cao's ambush army in Quyang County, so when Cao Cao's ambush army discovers the movement of Yuan Shu's army, it will definitely not stop where it is, and may also come over in the name of support to snatch the fruits of victory.

After all, Yuan Shu's army had 60,000 or 70,000 people, although they were suddenly ambushed and divided by Zhu Wei's army, it was impossible for tens of thousands of people to swallow it in a short time.

There are still many Yuan Shu troops who can find some places in the mountains that can be garrisoned in the mountains like Yuan Shu now, temporarily stabilize their positions, and temporarily stop to appease the army.

In this way, of course, Zhu Wei's army could not wipe them all out in a short period of time, which is why Zhu Wei needed Cao Cao's side to send troops to ambush in the first place......
