417.Chapter 417

Wen Zhao turned his head and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you let people go to the camp to look for clothes, so that these surrendered Yuan troops are all dressed. ”

"Especially for the sick soldiers, be sure to find them some dry clothes. If there is not enough clothing, the bedding is collected and wrapped around them to keep them warm. ”

Wen Zhao's voice was not loud, but when it reached the ears of Yuan Jun's captives, Yuan Jun, who was still a little panicked, immediately felt a warm current in his heart.

Most of these soldiers were forcibly conscripted into the army by Yuan Shu. During this time, Yuan Shu did not sympathize with the soldiers at all, and continued to attack the city, and many soldiers died on the battlefield, which made everyone feel a little chilled.

Now that they are prisoners, how can they still get the care of the enemy commander, how can they not be moved?

When Zhao Yun heard Wen Zhao's words, he immediately asked people to enter and leave Yuan's camp tent to collect all kinds of clothes.

When the fire in Yuan's camp was completely extinguished, the sky was already white. The results of this raid on Yuan's army have also been counted.

A general in charge of statistics came to Wen Zhao's side, and said with a red face: "Lord, the Yuan army fled in a hurry, discarding countless military materials such as armor, weapons, flags, and war drums. ”

"Our army beheaded more than 30,000 people, captured 50,000, and the rest of Yuan's army all scattered and fled in a hurry."

Hearing this, Wen Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. But for this result, it is still acceptable.

After all, there were not many soldiers under his command who broke into the Yuan army's camp, and in order to protect the grain and grass and stabilize the situation in the camp, he did not pursue and kill the Yuan army.

This led to the fact that not too many Yuan soldiers were killed, and even those prisoners were mostly Yuan soldiers who were sick and couldn't run.

Wen Zhao thought secretly in his heart: "In this way, even if the Yuan army is defeated this time, there are about 170,000 Yuan soldiers who escaped. ”

"If the Yuan clan asks the generals to gather the routs everywhere, they can also gather more than 100,000 horses again in a short period of time. When it is relieved, it will be a little difficult to break the enemy. ”

Chen Xu was thinking about it, only to see the general in charge of statistics say excitedly: "The most important thing is that we have also seized more than one million stones of grain and grass, which is a real bumper harvest!" ”

Now there is a famine everywhere, and even in Guanzhong and Bingzhou under Chen Xu's rule, grain and grass are a little stretched.

The sudden seizure of one million stones of grain and grass could not help but greatly alleviate the shortage of grain under Chen Xu's rule.

Although one million grains and grass were only enough for Yuan Shu's army for two months. But this is only under the condition of ensuring that the soldiers all eat with their bellies open.

If the soldiers' rations were cut, Yuan Shu's army of 250,000 would be able to hold out longer.

With this batch of grain and grass, Chen Xu can guarantee that in this year of famine, he will always have the capital to attack the rest of the princes.

It must be known that even with the consumption of cavalry, these grains and grass are enough to support an army of 40,000 for nearly a year.

"Whew!"

Suddenly hearing this good news, Chen Xu was ecstatic in his heart. He took two deep breaths, and then slowly calmed down.

Looking at the general in charge of statistics with burning eyes, Chen Xu asked, "Is there really a million stones of grain and grass?" ”

The man didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

"Haha, haha!"

Chen Xu couldn't hold back the joy in his heart anymore, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Yuan Highway, Yuan Highway, you have scavenged all the grain and grass under your rule, and in the end, it is not cheaper for me?"

Wen Zhao, who defeated Yuan Shu, couldn't help but be a little high-spirited at this time.

"Bring the spoils of war, burn down the camp, and escort the captives back to Xuanyuan Pass!"

Chen Xu also wanted to take advantage of the defeat of Yuan's army and lead the army to pursue. However, whether it was the one million stones of grain and grass captured, or the 50,000 Yuan troops who were captured, they all needed to be guarded by men and horses.

After such a long tug-of-war, more than half of the soldiers under Wen Zhao's command were killed or wounded, and there was no extra force to pursue Yuan Shu's rout.

Moreover, in Chen Xu's view, the importance of one million grains and grass is far greater than chasing and killing Yuan Shu's army.

After the army returned to the city victoriously, the entire Xuanyuan Pass was boiling. The eyes of the generals who looked at Chen Xu were also full of awe.

No one thought that Chen Xu's plan could make Chen Jun break Yuan Jun under an absolute disadvantage.

This time the big break of Yuan Shu undoubtedly made Chen Xu's reputation in the army become prosperous again.

After returning to the city, Tian Feng had Yuan Jun prisoners separated and detained, and asked the military doctor to treat them. For a while, the herbs in the entire Xuanyuan Pass seemed to be a little scarce.

Rao was like this, and thousands of Yuan army captives were still killed.

The cold wind was cold, and a group of people and horses rushed eastward, and the first person was Yuan Shu. At this time, beside him, a hundred thousand people gathered again.

Although Zhao Yun led his troops to raid Yuan's army camp, Yuan Shu was defeated. However, there were still nearly 170,000 Yuan troops who escaped from the camp.

After getting out of danger, seeing that Chen's army did not chase and kill at all, Yan Xiang offered advice to Yuan Shu and asked him to send his generals to collect the rout.

Yuan Shu, who had no master of the six gods, was naturally obedient to Yan Xiang, so he sent most of the generals under his command out.

It didn't take long for the generals under Yuan Shu to gather forty or fifty thousand men. There were also tens of thousands of horses, following Yuan Shu's escape route and finding them by themselves.

In this way, Yuan Shu's subordinates once again broke through the crowd of 100,000. The remaining 60,000 or 70,000 defeated soldiers either fled to other directions, or took advantage of this defeat to deliberately break away from Yuan's army.

Although Yuan Shu once again gathered 100,000 defeated soldiers, most of these soldiers were poorly clothed, and less than half of them had weapons in their hands.

Yan Xiang again suggested to Yuan Shu that the unarmed soldiers cut down the trees and make a number of improvised wooden spears that could be used as weapons.

Yuan Shu felt hungry in his belly, and immediately asked Yang Hong, "Yang Changshi, when will you arrive in Yangcheng?" ”

Due to the haste of escape, Yuan Jun did not have time to bring grain and grass at all. It's a cold winter, and even wild plants are gone.

As for hunting in the mountains, not to mention that many hungry people have almost scavenged the prey in the mountains.

Even if there were still some prey, but in the face of the huge 100,000 Yuan army, they were already frightened and disappeared.

Therefore, the current Yuan Shu can be regarded as hungry. Not only him, but also the soldiers who followed him.

Yang Hong looked around and said, "Your Majesty hold on a little longer, this place is only half a day's journey away from Yang City." ”

Yuan Shu let out a light 'um' and did not continue to speak. It's just that the sadness on his face can't be hidden.

This time, being defeated by Chen Xu, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, was definitely a big blow to Yuan Shu, who had always been arrogant.

And now that all the grain, grass and baggage have been lost, even if he gathers 100,000 defeated soldiers again, Yuan Shu will have to worry about his food and drink.

"Kill!"

"Capture Yuan Shu alive!"

Just when Yuan Shu was worried, he vaguely heard a sound of shouting and killing coming from behind.

Yuan Shu was horrified in his heart, and asked in a lost voice: "What happened, could it be that Chen Wenzhao led the troops to chase and kill him?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Zhao Yun led the troops to catch up!"

A Yuan army scout rode a horse and hurriedly ran from behind, shouting loudly.

The scout's shout made Yuan Jun, who heard the shouting of killing in front, turn into a riot. Many people have a look of fear on their faces.

The robbery of the camp last night had already made many Yuan soldiers afraid of Chen Xujun.

Yuan Shu hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Zhao Yun lead to pursue?" ”

The scout said, "Two thousand cavalry! ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he was immediately furious.

He slashed the scout to death with a knife and scolded loudly: "With only 2,000 chasing soldiers, you are so panicked and disturb the hearts of our army, you really deserve death!" ”

Seeing this, Yuan Jun nearby also felt a little chill in his heart.

At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly raised the short knife in his hand and shouted sharply: "The thieves are only 2,000 chasing soldiers, and I am waiting for 100,000 troops, what are we afraid of?" ”

"Where are Lei Bo and Chen Lan?"

The two hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "The last general! ”

Yuan Shu said murderously: "The thieves dare to chase us with two thousand cavalry, and there is no one in sight. The two of you will lead 20,000 troops to kill Zhao Yun and break Chen Xu's arm! ”

"The last general commands!"

After the two of them led the troops over, Yuan Shucai said to the civil and military officers beside him, as well as the soldiers: "I just have to move forward, don't be afraid of the thieves." ”

At this time, Yuan Shu showed the domineering spirit of the princes of one party. I have to say that this defeat also made some changes in Yuan Shu.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang showed a look of relief on his face.

However, it was said that Zhao Yun received the order and led 2,000 cavalry to pursue and kill Yuan's army. Even though these cavalry were all elite troops, they were still a little timid in their hearts when they thought that the Yuan army still had 100,000 troops.

Not only those soldiers, but even Zhao Yun also had some drumming in his heart.

This time, Jia Xu and Tian Feng both thought that the troops in Xuanyuan Pass were weak, even though they led the army to pursue. When facing Yuan Shu's army of 100,000, there can be no big gain.

It's a pity that Chen Xu didn't listen to Jia Xu and Tian Feng's advice this time, and insisted on chasing and killing Yuan Jun.

Jia Xu and Tian Feng saw that the persuasion did not move, so they retreated to the next best thing, wanting Wen Zhao to lead some more soldiers and horses to the battle.

Chen Xu believes that there are not many soldiers and horses in Xuanyuan Pass now. Moreover, there are still 50,000 soldiers and 1 million stones of grain and grass to be guarded, and you can't lead too many soldiers and horses out of the city to pursue.

It is precisely because of this that he not only did not lead a single foot soldier, but also left 2,000 cavalry to garrison Xuanyuan Pass.

Wen Zhao himself led 6,000 cavalry, as well as several generals, and prepared to chase and kill Yuan's army in three ways.

Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, and Gao Shun painstakingly advised him to gather all the forces of the 6,000 cavalry and attack Yuan Shu's 100,000 defeated army. However, Wen Zhao always insisted on his own opinion.

Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Jun in front of him, and involuntarily felt a trace of gloom in his heart.

In the case of the disadvantage of the troops, the lord of his own family not only did not concentrate the forces together, but scattered everyone.

Even if Yuan's army is now a rout, and it is impossible to break the enemy with 2,000 cavalry.

"The lord is by no means a reckless and unwise person, since he acts in this way, there must be a reason, I can only act according to the plan."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun no longer doubted.

He beckoned the two thousand cavalry under his command and launched a fierce charge against the somewhat flustered Yuan army.

"Kill!"

"Capture Yuan Shu alive!"

The sound of shouting and killing came and went, even though the cavalry under Zhao Yun was a little timid in his heart. When they really entered the Yuan army's array, everyone became fearless.

Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, a peerless general, the two thousand cavalry suddenly rushed into the rear of the Yuan army, as if they were in a no-man's land.

"Charge! Charge! ”

Zhao Yun remembered Wen Zhao's order and roared loudly, so that his subordinates didn't have to care about whether they killed or injured Yuan Jun, and just charged to disrupt their formation.

Those Yuan soldiers were all shocked when they saw Zhao Yun leading the cavalry to rush over, and they thought that their lives were in danger.

But it didn't take long for the soldiers of Yuan to discover a problem: Zhao Yun and the others didn't seem to be killing, but just charging around in the rear of Yuan's army.

Except for some Yuan Jun, who reacted slowly, he was unlucky enough to be hit by a war horse. The rest of the soldiers did not suffer many casualties at all.

Some of the Yuan troops, who were still preparing to fight to the death, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that as long as they didn't block their charge, Zhao Yun and the others didn't kill people indiscriminately.

In the battlefield, there were very strange words: Zhao Yun led the cavalry to charge forward, and the Yuan army actually gave way one after another.

Even the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command kept shouting. But all the way down, he didn't kill a few Yuan soldiers at all.

There are also some Yuan Jun who are not afraid of death, seeing that Zhao Yun and others did not go on a killing spree. He actually stepped forward boldly, wanting to attack these cavalry in order to gain some credit.

However, in the face of these impure Yuan soldiers, the cavalry under Zhao Yun suddenly killed the killer. Several spears, piercing through the bodies of those people together.

Many soldiers of Yuan have seen the iron-blooded methods of Zhao Yun and others. Only then did I remember that they were all murderous demons who didn't blink, and they all retreated.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Zhao Yun, who was charging, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. He looked at his forehead, only to find that two generals of the Yuan army rushed over with tens of thousands of horses.

Zhao Yun remembered Wen Zhao's words, and when he saw Yuan's army coming, he immediately shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun turned the horse's head and took the lead in rushing behind.

Seeing this, where could Lei Bo and Chen Lan watch Zhao Yun escape? Immediately shouted at the soldiers who were hiding on both sides of the road: "Stop them, stop them? ”

Yuan Jun was a rout, and he didn't have much fighting spirit. When everyone heard the shouts of Lei Bo and Chen Lan, they were naturally a little reluctant.

However, there are still many people, with the idea of making meritorious contributions, and they are not afraid of death to block the retreat of Zhao Yun and others.

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Zhao Yun roared angrily, and the spear in his hand turned into a white dragon, piercing through many Yuan soldiers who were blocking in front of him.

"Kill!"

The cavalry behind him was also ferocious, and anyone who dared to stand in front of him would be killed mercilessly.

People are afraid of death, and those Yuan Jun, who dreamed of making meritorious contributions, saw that Zhao Yun and others were so fierce, so they naturally didn't dare to use their arms as a car anymore, and they made way for them.
