PS: Thank you for the reward of the autumn breeze and snow and the years of the blood-colored stars.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The gong sounded into the sky, and the Northern Frontier Army retreated.

Lao Wang's spear swept and forced back the rushing enemy, striding backwards, shouting: "Go, go, brothers, go quickly......"

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw......" Jun Sima Yang Feng stood in the middle of the hillside, shouting hoarsely, "Archer, shoot, shoot......"

"Old Song, old Song, gone, gone......" Lao Wang retreated sharply while looking around for Lao Song's figure, "Are you kid dead?" ”

Lao Wang saw Lao Song, he dragged at the rear, a long arrow in his thigh, drenched in blood, and he was trying to catch up with a spear. A few paces behind, a group of enemies was galloping towards them.

"Old Song, quick, quick......" Lao Wang shouted loudly and raised his spear to kill. Several soldiers roared wildly and rushed after Lao Wang.

Joy scuffle. Lao Wang's eyes were cracked and he killed two people in a row. If the spear is broken, the spear will be broken and one more person will be killed. The broken spear plunges into the enemy's body and sinks into the handle. Lao Wang, who lost his weapon, punched and kicked and killed two more people.

"Let's go...... Let's go ......" Lao Wang shouted, kicked down the enemy in front of him, grabbed Lao Song's arm with his backhand, and dragged him away.

Angry enemies are in hot pursuit. A long arrow roared and slammed into Wang's shoulder. Lao Wang screamed in pain and reached out to let go of Lao Song's arm.

"Kill him, kill him......" the enemy roared like thunder.

"Hurry up, hurry up...... "The soldiers who rushed forward shouted urgently.

Lao Song used both hands and feet, crawling hard, and shouted at Lao Wang: "You go, go quickly......"

Lao Wang Hu roared, stopped his rushing figure, turned around and killed again, and scolded angrily: "Damn, Lao Tzu will die here today, kill ......"

War horses are like dragons, long knives are like rainbows, enemy soldiers are like autumn wind and falling leaves, and blood is like flying clouds in the sky.

Yan Rou swept in like a hurricane with a hundred iron cavalry guards.

Lao Wang roared wildly, picked up Lao Song, ran for his life, and roared loudly: "Go, brothers, let's go......"

"Spread out, spread out......" Yan Rou immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Don't let go of a brother, save all who are alive, ...... quickly"

The ballistas on the hill let out an earth-shattering roar.

All the strong archers of the Northern Frontier Army launched the last salvo almost at the same time, and the huge roar and dense arrow curtain made the soul fly, and the air above the Horse Cheek River suddenly condensed at this moment.

………………

Jia Xu rushed to the Mache River overnight with a battalion of men and horses.

Yan Rou hurriedly greeted the plea. Jia Xu wanted to scold him a few words, but seeing that he was covered in blood and looked depressed, his anger suddenly decreased a little.

Yan Rou is a native of Jicheng, Youzhou, and can be said to be the first group of people to join the Northern Frontier Army. However, unlike Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were known by Li Yi at the beginning and were reused as soon as they joined the Northern Frontier Army, Yan Rou started as an ordinary soldier and has now become a captain.

Jia Xu knocked his battle helmet with a horsewhip and sneered: "General Yan personally went to the battlefield to kill again?" You killed it happily, but the horse cheek river was lost, and you don't seem to want this head? ”

Yan Rou's face flushed, speechless with shame.

"General Li Jing is very angry and asks you to take back the Maji River immediately." Jia Xu sighed, "Otherwise, even if the lord comes, he won't be able to save you." ”

"I am reorganizing my departments and preparing for a counteroffensive in the early morning." Yan Rou arched her hand gratefully, "Please return to General Li Jing, I will definitely recapture the Mache River tomorrow morning." ”

Jia Xu shook his hand and said, "I'll go back when you recapture the Maji River." How did you get rid of the Horse Cheek River? ”

Yan Rou smiled helplessly and said, "From the morning to the afternoon, the Gongsun army died at least more than 10,000 people, but they still went forward one after another, and they had no intention of stopping at all. Our casualties were too great, our defensive position was getting thinner, and by dusk the left flank was broken through by them. I thought that if we continued to fight like this, we would not have enough troops to resist the attack of the Gongsun army tomorrow, so I ordered the army to withdraw and set up a base horse and deer array in the area of Sanligang and Majiapo to block it. ”

"You ordered the retreat?" Jia Xu asked in surprise, "Yan Rou, you ordered the army to retreat without authorization, and you wanted to cut off your head?" ”

"Hold on to the embankment, our casualties are too great." Yan Rou said with a little excitement, "Gongsun Chan can treat the soldiers as inappropriate, but I can't, I can't let the soldiers die so unexplained." The Gongsun army is all Yellow Turban soldiers, and they have people, which is their advantage. Sticking to the embankment is tantamount to using our disadvantages to fight for the advantages of the Gongsun army, which is to find death. If we want to reduce casualties and block Gongsun Chan's attack, we should show our strengths and attack Gongsun Jun's weaknesses. ”

Jia Xu asked dissatisfiedly: "Do you mean that General Li Jing and I have no way to command?" ”

Yan Rou argued: "The subordinates didn't mean that. But with such a hard fight, our people will die sooner or later. Even if Gongsun Chan paid the price of 100,000 people, as long as he defeated us, he would win. He can take 10,000 iron horsemen and sweep Jizhou with a swagger. ”

Then he looked at Jia Xu, who looked unkind, lowered his head and whispered: "I have fought with the lord for many years, and I have not fought such a mortal battle. If the lord is here, he won't take us to fight with Gongsun Chan like this. ”

Jia Xu frowned and remained silent. After a while, he suddenly asked, "How much do we lose?" ”

"About fifteen to two thousand." Yan Rou replied, "Gongsun Jun is very cruel, and every time he kills someone, he has to chop off his head. The soldiers on both sides went crazy. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "What you just said makes sense, I'll go back to the camp to discuss with General Li Jing." Gongsun Chan used his superior forces to attack on three fronts, causing our troops to be scattered, and not only could not support each other, but the losses were also very staggering. Now it seems that this battle really cannot be fought like this. ”

Jia Xu hurriedly returned to the camp and explained Yan Rou's thoughts in detail.

"After today's battle, our three battlefields have lost about 4,000 to 5,000 people, and it is estimated that the losses of the Gongsun army should be around 20,000 to 30,000." Jia Xu said, "If we continue to fight like this tomorrow, we will be dragged down by Gongsun Zhan in three days." ”

"Gongsun Zhan's purpose is already obvious, he wants to consume our forces at all costs." Li Jing put down the battle report in his hand and said very resolutely, "Mr. Wenhe, this battle cannot be fought, and it must be withdrawn." ”

Jia Xu glanced up at him and said with a smile: "Your decision was made so quickly, I was going to spend a lot of time......

"Gongsun Chan is crazy, I haven't yet." Li Jing said hatefully, "He killed four or five thousand of me a day, how could I let him go?" Ordered Yan Rou, Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin to lead the army to withdraw to Songjiahe overnight. Ordered Han Xian to immediately rush to Tobu City with his men and horses to evacuate the people and prepare for another battle. ”

The herald got Li Jing's warrant and galloped away one by one.

"It's more than 300 miles to Wei County and Zhao Kingdom, if we block it in Qinghe Kingdom, it will definitely not be a problem to drag it until the heavy snow comes." Jia Xu pointed to the map and said, "It's just that in this way, I will give Gongsun Zan a Qinghe country for nothing." ”

"Now Yuan Shao is going to be in a hurry." Li Jing said with a smile, "After Gongsun Chan occupies the Qinghe Kingdom, he will immediately cut off the connection between Wei County and Anping Kingdom. In this way, Bohai, Hejian and Anping, the three richest counties in Jizhou, were all robbed by Gongsun Zhan. ”

"The states and counties in the northeast of Jizhou have all been robbed by Gongsun Zhan." Jia Xu muttered, "Then how much more can he provide us?" ”

"That's a real problem." Li Jing looked at the map and said, "If Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army attack back and forth and force Yuan Shao to evacuate Jizhou, then the situation in Kwantung will change." As soon as the situation in the eastern part of the country changed, the lord's strategy of buying grain from the southern counties and returning to northern Xinjiang was in danger of failure. It seems that An Pingguo still can't be taken away by Gongsun Zhan. As long as An Pingguo is in hand, Yuan Shao will not give up Jizhou for the time being. ”

"Then the choice of our retreat route is very important." Jia Xu said, "We must not only delay Gongsun Zhan's advance, but also prevent him from taking the opportunity to occupy Anping Kingdom, and ensure that he can continue to put a lot of pressure on Yuan Shao." ”

Li Jing drew a line on the map and said, "After Tobu Castle, we will cross the Qinghe River from the direction of the boundary bridge to Guangzong Castle. In this way, we can rely on the Qinghe River to block Gongsun Zan from going north to occupy Anping Kingdom. ”

Jia Xu took a closer look and nodded, "Yes, it's a good idea to withdraw to Guangzong." After Gongsun Zan entered the Qinghe Kingdom, if he wanted to attack Wei County, we could attack him from the flank, and if he wanted to fight us, Yuan Shao could threaten him from the flank. ”

Then he pointed to Ganling City on the map and said, "When Gongsun Chan came here, he must hesitate and have no choice but to stop for the winter." ”

When Fu Zhu and Feng Ji heard that the Northern Xinjiang Army was going to retreat, they hurried to the camp to dissuade them.

Frustration said: "Yu Poison and the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro are attacking Wei County with all their might, and the 20,000 troops of Jizhou and the 10,000 troops of Hanoi are trapped on the battlefield around Montenegro. ”

The implication of the frustration is to threaten Li Jing, if Yuan Shao loses Jizhou and is forced to go south to Yan, Xu, and Yang, then you will not want to get food in the north.

Feng Ji said: "Now Chun Yuqiong is in Luoyang with the Jizhou army, and he is defending Luoyang with Yue Fei, the general of the conquest. And this time to block Gongsun Zhan, Han Qiong also participated with a large army, the relationship between Jizhou and Northern Xinjiang has always been very good, is it too much for the general to do this? The hussar general is in charge of military affairs, and the counterinsurgency and conquest are within the scope of his duties, and the general retreats without authorization, is it considered to have disobeyed the hussar general's military orders? ”

Li Jing slammed the battle reports of various departments on the case, and said coldly: "My Northern Xinjiang Army has killed more than 4,000 soldiers in one day, can this battle still be fought?" I'm gone, you're happy, aren't you? ”

Then he pointed to the frustration and said: "If you dare to cut off the grain and grass of my army, I will return to Handan immediately, and it is a big deal that I will share Jizhou with Gongsun Zan equally." ”

Frustrated, he asked, "Where does the general plan to retreat?" Tobu Castle or Ganneung Province? ”

"Gwangjong Castle." Li Jing spread out the map and said, "To be honest, I don't believe Yuan Benchu, if he didn't prepare enough grain and grass for me, I wouldn't fight this battle for him." ”

Frustrated and Feng Ji's faces were ugly. (To be continued.) )
